What is holding the Industry back from Achieving Impact?

  • Multi-crisis environment: Global uncertainties caused by the pandemic, the war in Ukraine, supply chain problems, the energy crisis, and inflation are weighing on many industries.
  • Cost pressure: 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: High levels of debt at many companies, more expensive refinancing, and stricter banking requirements are increasing the pressure to restructure.
  • Stakeholder complexity: Need to involve shareholders, banks, employees, customers, and suppliers in turnaround processes.
