Restructuring Case Study
Improving Business Processes
Once we have stabilized operations and restored liquidity, we deploy our business process management (BPM) team to dig deep into core processes and focus on the root causes of poor performance.
A broad, rapid BPM assessment pinpoints the most impactful areas of improvement, enabling quick correction for the biggest benefit and building a roadmap of further improvements to tackle in the future.
Our BPM team deploys a top down approach to address the core strategic issues. The team conducts a very high-level diagnostic to define business needs, gather and analyze data, conduct a gap analysis and culture check, create restructuring strategies and execute the restructuring.
Survive & Thrive
Maybe a company just needs to be stabilized long enough to be acquired – or maybe it can completely be turned around. In either case, our expertise in operations management consulting helps companies maximize profitability and resolve operational inefficiencies.
Our business restructuring consulting also can help you identify partnership and M&A opportunities and plan for contingencies.
