Managing Financial Performance
Creating stronger business performance through and beyond a potential downturn is a repeating process with a set of steps to take. Each selected approach follows a systematic methodology and is structured in a few key phases – customized depending on the client situation:
• Depict your end-game.
• Stress test the organization.
• Manage cost levels.
• Secure speed in structural decision taking.
Cost Efficiency PMO
The core in our cost efficiency approach is a Program Office with a strong mandate tightly connected to the business as well as top management, where the end game is transparency and control where impact of efficiency activities are tightly connected to P&L:
• Cost Efficiency program set-up and launch.
• Structured three step approach for fact-based decision taking.
• A reporting structure with a powerful control tower.
• A standardized process for execution with high degree of visibility.
Legal Restructuring
Companies grow their business organically or through acquisitions to meet their customer demands and stay competitive. Over time this often leads to a decoupling between the operational and legal structure. Through legal restructuring companies can realign the operational management and legal governance, increase the transparency, reduce administration and enable accountability.
Fortos has proven experience and skills in setting up and implementing legal restructuring programs where reducing the legal structure complexity is key:
• Understand the current state by reviewing assets, current agreements and contracts, and employment contracts.
• Design the desired state and create scenarios for new legal structure.
• Perform the implementation by detailing the implementation plan, identify milestones and outline the change management plan.
