Question 1

Performance improvement & repositioning of the business

Accepted Answer

Solution
We support organizations in identifying the causes of underperformance and realigning
their business model, operations, and strategy for sustainable profitability.

Services
- Financial and operational diagnostics to identify performance gaps.
- Strategic repositioning of products, markets, or pricing models.
- Review and optimization of cost structure.
- Reorganization of sales, marketing, and service processes.
- Implementation of performance monitoring and accountability measures.

Customer situation
Operationally stable companies that regularly fail to meet their targets are facing
underlying problems in market positioning, cost management, or internal
implementation that require strategic realignment rather than crisis management.

Approach
- Analysis of historical performance data, market trends, and competitive
landscape.
- Involvement of executives in developing a repositioning plan with measurable
goals.
- Support in implementation through targeted process changes, competence
building, and governance strengthening.
- Close monitoring and adjustment based on early feedback.

Example
Working with a medium-sized manufacturing company with declining margins, we
developed a pricing strategy, optimized procurement, and streamlined
processes—resulting in a 15% increase in EBITDA within 12 months.

Question 2

Crisis management – performance and operational recovery

Accepted Answer

Solution
Rapid mobilization of expert knowledge to address acute performance issues or
operational disruptions — stabilizing the business, restoring confidence, and developing
a path to recovery.

Services
- Immediate assessment of financial, operational, and market situation.
- Turnaround plans with measurable goals.
- Reorganization of operational processes to eliminate bottlenecks.
- Interim management to steer crisis implementation.

Customer situation
Companies experiencing declining performance, supply chain disruptions, loss of key
personnel, or operational bottlenecks risk revenue losses and reputational damage
without rapid intervention.

Approach
- Deployment of experienced crisis managers to stabilize the situation.
- Establishment of short-term performance KPIs and monitoring.
- Implementation of urgent cost controls, process adjustments, and resource
reallocation.
- Transition to a sustainable medium-term improvement plan.

Example
During a regional supply chain disruption for an energy trading group, I coordinated
cross-functional teams, restored operations within six weeks, implemented emergency
procurement, and strengthened customer confidence — thereby avoiding potential
losses of €5 million.

Question 3

Strategic Planning & Performance Management

Accepted Answer

Solution
We transform strategic ambitions into actionable, measurable plans and create the
performance infrastructure necessary for sustainable value creation.

Services
- Development of strategic plans and alignment with operational goals.
- Budgeting, forecasting, and establishment of KPI systems.
- Management of corporate portfolios and benefit assessments.
- Reporting to the board of directors, investors, and lenders.

Customer situation
Executive boards and investors expect insight into performance compared to plan, but
many organizations lack the governance structures and data quality to deliver this.

Approach
- Facilitation of strategy workshops with senior management.
- Translation of the vision into measurable KPIs, linked to budget and forecast
cycles.
- Development of management dashboards and governance reports for tracking
success.

Example
For a commodity trading group (€1.9 billion in revenue), we implemented group-wide
planning and forecasting cycles for the first time, providing a consistent view of
performance across 14 units and enabling faster, more strategic decisions.

Question 4

Corporate restructuring & turnaround

Accepted Answer

Solution
We stabilize distressed companies, restore stakeholder confidence, and develop
sustainable recovery plans to return profitability.

Services
Financial restructuring and debt relief strategies.
Fiquidity management and cash flow optimization.
Asset disposals and portfolio restructuring.
Negotiations with creditors and stakeholders.

Customer situation
Companies in difficulty are under immediate liquidity pressure, struggling with declining
profitability and creditor claims, which requires swift and decisive action.

Approach
Crisis assessment – Rapid financial health check and liquidity analysis.
Stabilization – Introduction of cost controls, renegotiation of terms, and
restructuring of liabilities.
Recovery planning – Redesign of the business model, optimization of processes,
and focus on profitable growth.

Example
As Executive Director of an energy trader with €60 million in sales in the Western
Balkans, I led a financial restructuring that freed up €6 million in capital, reached break-
even in six months, and repositioned the business in profitable wholesale gas trading,
with contracts worth €30 million.
