Turnaround

Why external assistance to a turnaround process

Most companies will in their lifetime require a turnaround. Either through a slow and hardly noticeable challenge or driven by internal or external crisis (e.g. the financial crisis or the Covid-19 crisis).

Fortunately, the need for turnaround does not occur so frequently – implying that the companies rarely have high experience with the turnaround process. And when a company is performing poorly and need to improve, then there is indeed a requirement for extra and experienced resources to manage the task.

ProvenExperience can help – because we have been in these situations before.

We offer:

Each turnaround situation is different, but typical tasks are amongst others:

  • Create overview of current run rate – in particular to evaluate the cash flow requirement. And to prepare a list over short-term initiatives to start negotiations with all relevant parties.
  • Here and now tasks:
    • Reduce working capital – and trim the organization.
    • Sale of/leasing of assets (buildings, equipment, vehicles).
    • Negotiations with suppliers.
