Cost reduction and efficiency increase incl. liquidity management

The best way to manage a crisis is to avoid it

Taking measures early on in a crisis is essential for successful restructuring

The transition from strategic challenges to eroding results through to a liquidity crisis that threatens the company's existence as a going concern is often fluid and progresses at an increasingly rapid pace in an interconnected world of complex supply – and sales chains and information.  

Our restructuring experts from the Business Recovery Services team help you to identify these signs early and to develop suitable countermeasures. We support you in generating earnings and capital reserves and thus contribute to cost optimization, making you more resilient to poor economic phases while also reducing the risk of corporate crises.

Your concern 

• Your company's ability to generate returns has weakened recently or you see the necessity to release reserves in order to remain successful in volatile and weaker market phases?
• Capacity utilization and productivity are lagging behind the competition and your own targets while shareholders and the capital market expect higher returns?
• Restructuring and realigning your company require consistent implementation management and a transparent project organization for the road ahead.
• Your company has many ideas and great potential. However, the translation into verifiable effects in the income statement and balance sheet has not yet materialized.
