Restrukturierung - Interim Management
You initiate operational and strategic optimization at an early stage. You are in discussions with your financiers about an expansion of the possibilities. Or you are already on fire and your financiers are coming to you. In any case, hard work awaits you.
At the beginning there is a ruthless analysis of the situation and a sustainable conception of a picture of the future (audit, independent business review or reorganization expert opinion according to IDW S6). The way to this is profound transformations, efficiency improvement and cost reduction programs.
We get you through this process quickly and unerringly. And we also secure the communication accordingly. Trusting and appropriate communication with stakeholders is essential for success.
For implementation, we use our proven, streamlined measure management with direct reference to P&L and balance sheet and follow through with you.
Often, our deployment as interim managers is required in the role of Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO) - we are well prepared for this and only disembark when the matter is complete.
Transaction: Mergers & Acquisitions and Carve Out
Opportunities for new growth must be constantly explored and new business models developed. The value creation structure must be regularly reviewed and adjusted.
In addition to organic growth and strategic and operational realignment, external growth (or divestments) must be achieved through a mergers & acquisitions process.
Once this has been negotiated, we steer you through the "carve-out". This stage of the project ensures that by day-0, the new entity's business continues to run smoothly. The following post-merger integration measures ensure the integration into your company.
We accompany you through all phases, so that your investment case works out.
Operational Excellence
When moving on gets tough, the tough move on. This is more topical than ever. Technological upheavals, black swans or sometimes extreme regulatory interventions are forcing action.
In addition to the strategic challenges that are just about enough, it is even more important that the basis is right: The operations, especially the supply chain together with the IT support of the processes. The holistic and digital design (from EDI connection to AI-based decision support/bots) of all processes end2end along the value chain is condicio sine qua non. In addition, there is the appropriate customer- and process-oriented transformation of the organizational and management structure..
This is a home game for us. We will inspire you with the possibilities. Always in realistic, manageable steps in the implementation, which we naturally take in hand.
