Strategy & Transformation
Business transformation and turnaround.
When performance has to change materially and quickly, the work is sequenced: stabilise, simplify, rebuild, grow. We help boards and shareholders establish a position they can act on, then do the work alongside management.
What the work covers
- Rapid commercial and cash assessment
- Stabilisation of cash, supply and service
- Simplification of range, channels and cost base
- Rebuilding of leadership, systems and reporting
- A return to growth on sound foundations
When businesses engage us
- Performance is deteriorating and the cause is unclear
- Cash is tight and decisions are being deferred
- A business has outgrown its systems and structure
- A new owner or board needs an independent view quickly
How we approach it
The first weeks are about facts and cash, not restructuring plans.
We work inside the business with management rather than reporting on them.
Insprie is not an insolvency practitioner or an accounting firm. Our work is measured by the state of the business we leave behind.
Common questions
- Is this only for distressed businesses?
- No. A business does not need to be formally distressed before action is required. Earlier intervention preserves more options.
- Can this be handled confidentially?
- Yes. Sensitive situations are handled as confidential enquiries and discussed only with the people you nominate.
- When the board becomes part of the problem.
A struggling business does not always have an operating problem. Sometimes the problem is sitting around the board table.
- Growing fast. Running out of cash.
Revenue is climbing, retailers are ordering and everybody thinks things are going well. The bank balance says otherwise.
