Frequently asked questions

What happens in the first 30 days of a turnaround?

Cash first. We take control of the cash position, stop the bleeding, and diagnose the two or three structural problems doing the most damage before touching anything else. Stability buys the time to rebuild.

Can a business really be turned around in 100 days?

100 days is enough to secure cash, reset the cost base and operating model, and rebuild a focused growth plan from a defensible position. It is not enough to finish every fix, but it is enough to remove the existential risk and set the trajectory. More on our turnaround approach at turnaroundaziendale.it.

When is it too late for a turnaround?

It is rarely the numbers that decide it, it is time and honesty. If cash runs out before the plan lands, or leadership still cannot name the two problems that matter most, the window closes. Acting early is the cheapest turnaround there is.
