Turnaround Management

Assisting start-up and financially distressed companies requires integrity, creativity and commitment. I use a goal oriented, focused approach based on consensus-building to identify and implement plans that gain the confidence of management and creditors. This process generates energy and results.

At the beginning of a turnaround project, lacking an in-depth understanding of an industry can be a major advantage, because I am completely free of biases and paradigms that accompany technical expertise. Viewing a company in new, fresh ways is vital to identifying the changes necessary to achieve profitability.

This chart illustrates operating costs (fixed and variable), approximate breakeven point, and length of time and investment required to create positive cash flow. Graphs were made at 70%, 80% and 100% of forecast levels to test key assumptions and measure risk.

Management gained new business perspectives which resulted in several key improvements to their original operating and sales plan.
