Crisis management and restructuringTogether through stormy times
In times of economic uncertainty or operational turbulence, consistent action counts. No valid strategic roadmap. Inconsistent operational management in a critical environment? Perhaps sales and earnings are already collapsing, liquidity is running low or key managers and top performers are leaving the company. In situations like these, it’s not theory that counts – it’s action.
What is needed now is active risk management and consistent leadership with rapid effectiveness in restoring the operational ability to act and a clear strategic orientation.
At F&P AG, we see time and again in our assignments how crucial it is to take responsibility quickly and consistently in times of crisis. After all, a crisis cannot be resolved through endless meetings or strategy papers. It requires clear decisions and people who are prepared to take action.
How can you tell when things are getting serious?
- The company does not have a clear strategic compass and a binding operational framework for action that is aligned with it.
- Stagnation or decline in operating performance, with the result that sales and earnings fall.
- The liquidity forecast is unclear or missing altogether.
- Money flows out without countermeasures taking effect. Lack of effective measures to safeguard performance and results.
- Managers are overwhelmed by the crisis or are not available.
- Projects come to a standstill while the situation worsens.
- Fragmented teams and disrupted communication. Top performers leave the company.
If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s time to act – immediately.
Why interim management can be the solution
Interim managers are not consultants who write concepts and then disappear again. They are doers who take on responsibility and set a new course within a few days.
Typical first steps:
- Secure cash flow and create transparency.
- Regaining trust – with banks, investors and employees.
- Control costs and adapt structures.
- Strengthen leadership so that the company is able to act again.
Speed is everything
F&P AG provides experienced interim managers with restructuring experience (e.g. CRO, CEO, CFO) within 72 hours. This means immediate stabilization before the crisis becomes irreversible.
Our conclusion
Crises are no reason to panic – but they are a clear mandate to act. If you take the right steps quickly, you can not only save the company, but also create new trust and open up new entrepreneurial freedom.
