Positioning
Protect enterprise value without destabilising the organisation.
When revenue, margin or cash fall behind plan, pressure from shareholders, lenders and boards rises. Analysis alone is no longer enough, and replacing management often costs more substance than it delivers.
cturn works precisely in between: with a clearly structured performance reset that delivers measurable results and keeps the existing team able to act.
The Gap
Between concept and fresh start.
| Strategy Consulting | Change of Management | cturn Performance Reset | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Approach | Analysis and recommendation | New leadership, new agenda | Diagnosis and delivery from one source |
| Time to impact | Long concept phase | Months of onboarding | First measures after 2–3 weeks |
| Delivery | Left to the client | Left to new management | Together with the existing team |
| Risk to the organisation | Low, but often without effect | High: loss of know-how and unrest | Low: stability is preserved |
| Outcome | Concept and presentation | Fresh start, uncertain outcome | Measurable impact on EBITDA and cash |
