Turnaround Management
RSI understands every turnaround situation is different. RSI maintains successful disciplines in all situations while adapting a flexible methodology that produces positive results for you. Our process affords us the opportunity to uncover the drivers to effect change. Extracting rapid results requires executing against a focused plan, determining strengths and weaknesses, and delivering on a near-term operational/organizational plan. It is the results of the near term plan that positions the group for an effective long-term strategy. We work with you to define and implement the interim successes necessary to achieve the agreed upon, long-term strategy. Simply stated, if the firm cannot execute in the short term – there is no long term

Our clients range from global enterprises to smaller companies that are either publicly held or privately owned. Accountable for delivering results, RSI professionals work with venture capital firms, private equity firms, corporate management and boards of directors. Additionally RSI applies its revenue enhancement and cost management capabilities across many industry sectors.

While working with you, RSI brings a bias toward action and results. Working with the management team of underperforming companies, or healthy companies with underperforming divisions, RSI helps improve financial and operational performance by developing and implementing comprehensive profitability and working capital improvement plans.

RSI’s Turnaround Management activities include:

• Assess operational and financial condition
• Create objective(s)
• Derive an effective business recovery plan
• Develop necessary implementation framework, which involves working with management, partners, vendors and customers
• Implement business and financial management measures to conserve cash, remove excessive costs, stabilize relationships with creditors and the trade
• Demonstrate effective leadership in motivating and retaining high-performing employees
• Report results to board and stakeholders
• Manage the business, or product opportunity, for improved performance
• Achieve interim and final milestones
• Provide structured handoff to permanent management team
• Perform periodic follow-up reviews as desired
  

RSI’s team consists of executives with experience from significant roles in both Fortune 500 firms and smaller firms. In addition, many of our team have created and successfully grown their own firms. While each is educated in a specific discipline or two, all are experienced multi-disciplined general managers. Thus they have the knowledge base to rapidly develop and implement strategic operational plans – for an entire organization or specific product. Together, and on their own, they have effected organizational successes – for a company in crisis or in a specific product arena.

A growing area of our efforts is to be engaged by prospective lenders as part of the due diligence process before a new loan is made. In these situations, RSI is often asked to evaluate budgets and the sustainability of efforts already in place. In its simplest form, we are being asked to “bless” the plan. In its more detailed form, we validate adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA); test assumptions; and evaluate earnings quality.
