Time and again we are asked how a crisis-tested restructuring expert such as Struktur Management Partner can also be an opportunity-oriented growth expert. Well, the answer is very simple: Firstly, every successful restructuring of a company is a growth story, or more precisely: a turnaround story that focuses on strengths. Secondly, there are numerous structural and operational similarities between companies in crisis and those enjoying strong growth – which is why we see both cases as phases of upheaval. And thirdly, the complexity and capital requirements of dynamically growing successful companies are often so high that they become underfinanced turnaround cases more quickly than one can imagine.
Above all, however, companies in any conceivable liquidity and earnings situation must bear in mind that their focus should always be on identifying and evaluating new growth opportunities (1), outlining the defined growth paths (2) in accordance with the greatest growth potential and formulating and implementing a growth programme (3) based on these.
In any case, a clear focus on the core strengths of the company, on realistic time frames in the implementation of a growth programme geared to profitability and on defined measures affecting earnings is crucial.
Apart from that, "growing" essentially means being relatively more successful than the competition and being able to know and control your own figures so well that they remain permanently in the black. Talk to our growth management experts about it. We look forward to your questions and suggestions.
