      involves the formulation and implementation of a strategic plan and
a set of actions for corporate renewal and restructuring, typically during times of severe
corporate financial distress. Often with the help of outside  
 
  or strategy
consultants, a Root Cause Analysis is made and a  
  is devised and executed,
assuming that the firm still offers the potential to return to financial solvency, profitability and
strategic viability.


  

There are just a limited number of 




  

1. Acts of God - Certain risks may occur and cause irreparable damage (despite proper
anticipation and thorough preparation).
2. Poor Vision / Understanding of the Market
3. Poor Strategy
4. Poor Business Model / Execution


 
  

Typically, when these root causes are not dealt with properly, they will cause a range of
problems, which can then trigger a corporate crisis:


ack of expertise, experience or education, weak management

Market circumstances, weak economy

Business economical reasons, earnings crisis

Bankruptcy of holding company

Board level arguments

-raud, insufficient financial controls

Overly optimistic sales projections

-inancing problems, liquidity crisis, excessive debt burden, undercapitalization

Operating cost levels too high

Very strong, successful competitor

Overinvestment

ènsufficient resources, underinvestment

Often these triggers are interrelated, and several causes are involved. Slywotzky and Drzik have
categorized these triggers in 7 Classes of Strategic Risk.

  
 

The first step in a  
 
 is often to change the top management or leadership of
the business and to appoint an experienced turnaround manager. Often strong, Commanding
eadership or even Charismatic eadership is exerted. The turnaround process typically consists
out of the following key steps (in approximate chronological order):

1. Assess the situation and future business viability


2. èmplement emergency steps (stop the bleeding)
3. Develop strategic survival plan
4. èmplement the plan, restructuring the business. Survive the crisis
5. Return to normal operations, profitability and growth
6. Prepare for departure of turnaround management

turnaround managenent deals with the subject diagnosis of apparent business decline and taking on
mitigative measures.of importance is the timely sighting of potential or actual
signals/pointers/indiactors and proactively enganging them to gain business success.Research in
information requirements,legal framework as well as a generic structure for turnaround management. it
is also my idea that proactive turnaround management can be achieved through identification of key
indicators to guide managers on when this strategy can be implemented.Could it be possible to
incorporate T/A as part of corporate starategy?Could T/A managers/experts be outsourced such that
they are always available for consultation?could T/A practise be acceptable as day to day process such
that T/A experts do not send cold shivers(once on site) across the business fraternity thus injuring
business goodwill?
