    We share our knowledge…

    … also digital.

    To our reputation

    Decidedly better:
    Our approach: holistic, value-oriented, effective.

    The world - and with it the German SME sector - is undergoing massive, sometimes unpredictable change. Every company is required to put its business model to the test and prepare itself at an early stage in order to successfully master the challenges. Our methodology is based on decades of experience in crisis management and prevention. Our success factor: a stringently derived value proposition. And this encompasses all value dimensions in a dynamic cycle - from value positioning to value extraction.

    "As pioneers of growth-oriented turnarounds in Germany, we focus on achieving a turnaround as quickly as possible in order to put the company (back) on the road to success. We call turnaround management how to set up such a process in a targeted manner, manage it successfully and adjust it effectively."

    Marc-René Faerber, Managing Partner

    Our approach to turnaround management

    In all our recommendations, we attach great importance to the feasibility of our turnaround concept, recommendations for action and catalogs of measures. After all, our work can only be successful for our clients if everyone involved in the turnaround process really understands what, when, where and why to do in order to achieve results as quickly as possible. And it should and must be!
