Operational Turnaround & Stabilisation

Operational Turnaround & Stabilisation

Our Operational Turnaround & Stabilisation service is designed for organisations facing acute financial distress, significant performance gaps, or market volatility that requires immediate, decisive action. We partner with CEOs, boards, and private equity investors to swiftly assess the root causes of underperformance and implement a rigorous, hands-on plan for recovery.

We focus on two core priorities simultaneously:

  1. Stabilisation: Stopping the financial bleed, restoring control over cash flow, and ensuring core operations are functional.
  2. Value Acceleration: Identifying and executing rapid cost reduction, working capital improvements, and quick-win revenue initiatives that deliver measurable impact within the first 90 days.

Key Outcomes & Impact

  1. Restored Profitability (EBITDA Uplift): Successful completion of an Operational Turnaround engagement delivers measurable, sustainable results that restore stakeholder confidence and lay the groundwork for long-term growth.
  2. Cash Flow Stability: Unlock and sustain immediate liquidity by aggressively managing working capital, optimising accounts receivable, and reducing non-essential CapEx.
  3. Enhanced Operational Rigour: Implement data-driven decision-making tools, transparent KPIs, and a disciplined performance management culture across all core functions (Sales, Production, Supply Chain).
  4. Sustainable Platform: Establish a simplified operating model and management team capability that ensures the business is positioned to capitalise on future growth opportunities once stabilisation is achieved.

Typical Scope & Execution

Our approach is intensely focused on rapid assessment and execution, divided into three key phases over a 6 to 12-month period:

  • Phase 1: Diagnostics & 90-Day Plan
  • Phase 2: Rapid Stabilisation & Implementation
  • Phase 3: Transition & Capability Transfer
