Why Turnaround Management Centre?

I manage the full consulting process and, when needed, build teams and involve experts to meet specific requirements.

Strategic transformation projects are usually provided by global corporate firms, which often require substantial budgets.I am capable of executing projects of comparable scope with significantly more accessible budgets. When necessary, I also assemble expert teams by leveraging the support of my business partners.

If mutually agreed, I go beyond strategy development and decision-making by actively overseeing implementation alongside company management, ensuring that processes are fully standardized and routine before stepping back.
