We can bring a set of business planning tools
into some turnaround situations which can help move the process forward
in a constructive fashion. We enjoy helping a management team turn around a distressed tech firm, and have a pretty decent batting average from past turnaround projects.
DELIVERABLES:
- Market Analysis
- Distribution Channel Analysis
- Competitive Analysis
- Primary research into company issues, to validate problems
- Group brainstorming and analysis meetings, using the results from work above
- Product/Service re-positioning recommendations
- Channel restructuring recommendations
- Financial analysis, restructuring recommendations
- R&D Diligence and recommendations
EXAMPLE 1 - TURNAROUND SITUATION:
$250M networking product OEM contracted us to analyze a troubled product line.
We developed a turnaround plan that resulted in a successful
next-generation product development and launch, based around their
existing core technology.
EXAMPLE 2 - TURNAROUND SITUATION:
Bell Consulting was called in by the newly appointed turnaround CEO of
a struggling Telecom software company.Our subsequent intense engagement
with the ceo and his new management team, meeting in Southern
California at 7:00am on Sunday's over an eight week period, resulted in
our detailed set of recommendation to develop a family of edge router
access devices in order to leverage their core routing technology more
successfully. The company was sold four months later, largely based
upon the strength of the new product portfolio.
