Principal | Struktur Management Partner (SMP)
Our economy is in a state of transition. Falling profitability, dangerous high debt levels – and for some time now, rapidly rising interest rates mean that transformation and turnaround management have become mandatory skills for a top manager. Together with you we want to look at a real turnaround case and develop a sense for the truly crucial issues. Besides analytical finance expertise, these are especially communication skills and stakeholder management.
