We place a high priority on developing sustainable restructuring concepts that address both the market and the competitive environment as well as specific factors for success.

Deep Understanding of Restructuring Topics

In devising sustainably successful restructuring approaches for clients, Oliver Wyman draws on our deep base of knowledge about market trends and specific success factors, our far-reaching expertise in operational excellence methodologies, and our solid grasp of the needs and options of various financial sponsors (i.e., equity/borrowed capital). We take an integrated approach in this work, and we base our restructuring concepts on four pillars:

Strategic repositioning: The focus is placed on core markets and potentially profitable business fields. Business operations that destroy value will be closed or divested. Value-enhancement business model: Using our approach called value-driven business design, we optimize such business drivers as a company\'s customer, product, and technology portfolio, define core skills, and bring the organization into alignment with the strategy. Operational excellence: The focus is placed on lean organizations and processes. In particular, this work is aimed at simplifying production networks and increasing efficiency and effectiveness by applying such methodologies as LEAN and Six S gma. In addition, purchasing and the entire supply chain are optimized. Financial restructuring: On the basis of the strategic repositioning work, the value-focused business model, and operational-excellence programs, we determine liquidity needs and the requirements for a sound capital structure through the use of integrated financial planning. This creates the foundation for a financing concept that optimally weighs the interests and decision-making freedom of all participating parties.
