Restructuring for Strategic Growth
Since 2008, market environments have changed significantly. After the collapse of Lehman Brothers, and the near-collapse of the world financial system, one of the deepest global recessions effected simultaneously nearly all countries and sectors.
Nowadays, the world looks much brighter than in 2008, and the common understanding is that “the worst is over”. However, nobody knows if it is really over, if the world economy is just in the middle of a W-shaped cycle, or if companies should rather prepare for a L-shaped, long but slow recovery. Since the underlying reasons for the financial crisis, excessive liquidity and a very loose regulatory framework, have not really been treated by the common efforts of central banks and governments to pump cheap money into the economy, there is reason to believe that turning back to pre-crisis levels will not be that easy, which means companies need a lot of care and risk management in the upcoming months.
At the same time, markets and competitive landscapes have changed significantly. Market leaders have to fight to keep their positions, some industry giants disappeared or struggle to survive, others are even extending their market lead. On the other hand, ambitious, flexible and well-organized mid-sized SME’s are suddenly seen as taking a lead in their market, winning market share and customers at a pace unimaginable some months ago. İt is a time of changes, it is possible to take advantage of the changes, and the basis for long-lasting success can be created now. Preconditions for such a success are a company strategy that has been radically adopted to the new environment, and a company structure that serves this strategy in every single aspect – operations, organization, and of course financials.
