Restructuring & Strategic Reorientation

Small and medium sized companies are under strong pressure: increasing competition, often as a result of globalisation, technological innovation, more restrictive banks, succession problems and more. These developments force the pace of change in order to survive. The focus of Concentro Management's activities lies in actively supporting sustainable and successful change.

Severe profit or liquidity crises demand functional turnaround processes under pressure of time as well as action in the short and medium term for restructuring, and in the long term for strategic reorientation.

Long term competitiveness through restructuring

There are many reasons why a company might have to restructure or modernize. The aim, though, is almost always to eliminate acute liquidity bottlenecks as well as improve earning power and cash flow. In addition, liquidity crises require especially fast and precise action in order to avoid insolvency within the strict framework of legal possibilities. Mainly an existing long term weakness in earning power precedes a liquidity crisis. For this reason we aim not simply for fast effective measures, but also for medium-term changes in strategic parameters, such as product range, added value, financing structure etc., to improve the profit situation. Consquently, we have developed a proven procedure and tools, that have proven their worth in numerous projects.

Growth and overcoming business crises with strategic reorientation

As part of a strategic reorientation, we advise our clients about how to eliminate strategic crises and about securing a growth-oriented development of the company. This process can be managed both internally (e.g. by rearranging functions and legal entities) and externally (e.g. by changing the service range or expanding the scope of the business through acquisition). Strategic reorientation can also be the logical second step, associated with strong operational restructuring, to ensure success in the long term.
