A Nationally Ranked company is struggling to grow sales and profitability.  Over the prior years, management has gone through several COO's as high growth affected leadership.  The CEO is looking for help in mentoring his new COO so that the company can get back on track.  The Organization is in need of new IT systems, team systems, and new approaches, as well as growth strategies.  There are several family members working in the company, none working in senior management.

A formerly profitable business has turned unprofitable due to competition and difficult market conditions. Margins are dropping, key employees have left, sales are down, and the vendors are wanting faster payment. The bank is concerned and wants more information faster. Some family and non family members are viewed as not bringing value to the firm anymore.

The Owners of an unprofitable business want to position the company for a Sale.  They are concerned with how a high value can be attained while having family members in the management team.  Usually, a strategic plan will enable long term non family managers to stay on as well as family members, as the company increases the Sale Value.  In some client projects, the selection of a new non family GM take place, providing new leadership and direction.   In others, the family members remain, but in different, more effective positions.

Costs are rising, margins are thinning, and there are disagreements with changing the way things are being done.  One department is fighting with another.  The amount of errors is causing a high amount of returns, rework, scrap, and bloated inventory.  We have helped companies figure out their costs, develop profitability by customer or product, create action plans that improve cycle times, reduce mistakes, and reduce inter-departmental conflict.
