WHAT IS HOLDING COMPANIES BACK FROM ACHIEVING IMPACT?
- Multi-crisis environment: Global uncertainties arising from the pandemic and the wars in Ukraine and Iran, alongside supply chain issues, the energy crisis and inflation are weighing on many industries.
- Cost pressures: Sharp increases in energy, raw materials, logistics, and personnel costs are forcing companies to improve efficiency.
- Market dynamics & competition: Declining demand in individual segments (e.g., automotive suppliers, beverages), coupled with stronger market power of major customers and intensified international competition.
- Financing & liquidity: The high levels of debt at many companies, more expensive refinancing and stricter requirements from banks are increasing the pressure to restructure.
- Stakeholder complexity: A wide range of stakeholders – including shareholders, banks, employees, customers and suppliers – need to be involved in turnaround processes to restore trust.
