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.
