          FAQ: operational excellence & restructuring

          Operational excellence refers to the ability of a business to optimise business processes so that it achieves maximum efficiency and quality. This is a matter of using resources optimally, reducing costs and thus increasing customer satisfaction. The goal is to ensure an advantage against the competition and foster long-term growth with constant improvements.

          Operational excellence is particularly suitable for businesses wishing to optimise their existing processes and achieve long-term growth. It is for organisations in very competitive markets aspiring to increase their efficiency and reduce costs as well as companies that want to set themselves up strategically for future challenges – regardless of their size or sector.

          Turnaround management and restructuring describe specific steps to bring companies in financial or operational difficulties back on course. The terms are often used as synonyms and include analysis of the current situation, development of a plan and implementation of specific steps to stabilise and optimise the business. This includes reducing costs, reorganising processes and structures as well as recovering liquidity and profitability.

          The focus is not only on stabilising the business in the short-term but also setting it up for the future. The goal is to ensure that the company is competitive and economically healthy for the long-term. 

          There are clear warning signs that turnaround management is needed – declining sales, increasing costs, liquidity problems, conflict with creditors or a strained corporate culture. When these factors appear, it is important to act quickly to safeguard the competitiveness and stability of your business.

          Restructuring measures are specific steps to put a business on a new footing, economically, financially or organisationally. Examples include reducing costs, adjusting the business structure, reorganising business areas or negotiating finance conditions with creditors. The goal of these steps is to recover the business’s competitiveness and ensure its long-term stability.
