My key takeaways are that: 1. Distress continues to rise globally largely driven by cost of capital, world conflict, inflation and consumer preferences. 2. The DACH region seeing greatest impact as the economy in Germany struggles to solve problems across the manufacturing sector generally with Americas following closely behind. 3. From a sector perspective, Construction (41%) and retail (19%) and Consumer products (14%) are seen as most likely to face distress in 2024. 4. The greatest challenges seen in avoiding distress are quoted as cost and availability and capital, cost pressure and management flexibility There are many good takeaways from this survey to set us thinking about how to embed the right practices to drive business resilience in our businesses and ensure visibility, take precautions with our partners and suppliers. https://lnkd.in/dcc3FDFm

In addition to improving efficiency, cutting costs, boosting sales, and enhancing customer satisfaction, there are several other factors that drive the profitability and attractiveness of a company when interim transformation experts are involved: Operational Streamlining: Interim experts identify bottlenecks in processes and introduce systems or technologies to streamline operations. This results in quicker delivery times, better resource allocation, and improved productivity, further contributing to profitability. Leadership and Culture Change: Transformational experts often implement leadership changes or instil a more performance-driven company culture. A focused, motivated workforce is more likely to innovate, collaborate, and drive sustainable growth. Strategic Positioning: They analyse market trends and reposition the company strategically within its industry. Whether it's through diversification or penetrating new markets, better positioning can improve the company’s market share and competitive advantage, which boosts long-term value. Technology Implementation: Adopting modern technologies or improving existing IT systems can reduce operational costs, optimize supply chains, and create better data analytics. This can lead to better decision-making and improved service delivery, all of which drive profitability. Financial Restructuring: Interim experts often restructure the company’s finances to optimize debt and equity balance, improving cash flow and reducing unnecessary financial burdens. This allows the company to reinvest in growth initiatives. Talent Management: Attracting, retaining, and developing top talent is critical to long-term success. Interim experts might implement talent optimization strategies, ensuring the company has the right people in key positions to drive growth. Brand Enhancement: They may work on strengthening the company’s brand and reputation, making it more attractive to customers and partners. A strong brand can lead to higher customer loyalty and premium pricing, further increasing profitability. Risk Mitigation: Identifying and mitigating potential risks, whether operational, financial, or market-based, can prevent costly setbacks and improve the company’s long-term viability, increasing its appeal to potential buyers. By addressing these additional factors, interim transformation experts can ensure not only short-term gains but also sustainable, long-term profitability, which makes the company a more appealing investment or acquisition target for buyers.

Yet, as businesses grow and evolve, differences in perspectives between partners can arise, particularly when it comes to future direction, risk tolerance, and financial priorities. Recently, we've seen several deals where partners with differing visions have struggled to stay aligned, leading to significant tension within the organization. A lack of alignment on key business decisions can jeopardize growth and hinder the company’s potential for perpetuation.
