UNCERTAIN TIMES

These are tumultuous financial and economic times. Periods of financial uncertainty are always difficult to endure. According to the Business Knowledge Center, times of corporate distress present many strategic management challenges. Among them:• Revenue downturn caused by a weak economy• Poor execution of a good strategy• High operating costs• High fixed costs that decrease flexibility• Insufficient resources• Excessive debt burden• Inadequate financial controls

Businesses will need to act quickly and decisively or risk failing. The Genichi Taguchi principle that “all waste is a loss to society” not only rings true but is now an imperative. Companies cannot afford any form of waste in their businesses. Trimming the fat won’t help in many cases. It’s not enough. Some businesses will have to reorganize or reinvent themselves to survive.

Suppliers to OEMs are struggling to understand what to do when the orders stop. They don’t want to lose their best people, and yet they can’t afford to keep everyone on board. OEMs are struggling, too. They are being forced into the position of picking which suppliers they want to survive. This isn’t an easy task because OEMs don’t have the

visibility they need into their supply chain. They might have an understanding of their first-tier suppliers, but they don’t know which second or third-tier suppliers are critical to their business.

As once stable, profitable, and competitive companies struggle to improve operational and financial performance, the advice and involvement of corporate renewal professionals is critical.

The stakes are high. The time for action is now.

HIGH VELOCITY SOLUTIONS

Extraordinary times require extraordinary measures. Rapid response and turnaround may save a business or position the business for future success. Our industry offerings include:

DUE DILIGENCEWe take a snapshot of an entire operation and determine where the core value of the organization lies. We then identify complexities that are weighing down or impeding the progress of the company. This information becomes elemental in making decisions about restructuring or repositioning your business.

TURNAROUNDWe use a combination of strategic financial and operational methods and tools to help your leadership team manage short-term risk and develop an execution plan. We then work with your leadership team to implement the recommended changes.

RESTRUCTURINGWe look at your business from the perspective of a private equity firm that has taken over your operations. We quickly review the overall business and market drivers, evaluate cash flow constraints, and identify critical assets. We make recommendations regarding consolidating products and services, right sizing the organization, and prioritizing cash investments to protect the short-term viability of the business and ensure long-term sustainability.

INVENTORY TO CASHWe make a rapid assessment of your current inventory to determine what has the most and least value to your organization. We determine what can be sold, returned, and scrapped based on the current market. Using this methodology, we have succeeded in reducing inventory levels by as much as 35% to 40%.

RISK ASSESSMENTWe use the CGN “Risk Assessment Model” to evaluate the risks of key suppliers and develop and implement short, mid, and long-term strategies to manage supply chain risk. For each key supplier, we evaluate the overall financial, customer, funding, and operational robustness.

RIGHT SIZINGWe identify the key competencies of the business, evaluate the current resources based on a combination of current and future needs of the business, and prioritize the needs of the organization. Using this approach we help you trim, reposition, and identify the required resources that your company needs to meet the challenges and seize the opportunities of this critical time.

CGN CAN HELPThe financial tempest that has leveled Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac has long-term implications for businesses worldwide. The health, vitality, and endurance of your company are on the line.

Companies are struggling with difficult financial decisions. Many of these decisions are emotional in nature. We use facts and data to take the emotion out of the decisions and lay out a new course for your company, one that will take you through this tempest to friendlier seas.
