The health and social care sectors have faced operational challenges for several years, due to budgetary constraints and a demanding push for continual efficiency gains. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has further amplified these historic issues, resulting in significant caseloads and backlogs leading to workflow challenges and strain within teams. The cessation of elective service provision at the height of the pandemic has meant that in many counties, more than 10% of the population are awaiting treatment. Care providers are having to tackle these backlogs, while working within budgets that were set three years earlier, without the realities of the pandemic in mind, resulting in increased spending and reduced governance.
It introduces a two-phase strategic change process focused on immediate prioritisation and progression of existing initiatives with clear evidence of return on investment to ensure stabilisation, followed by the development of robust financial restructuring plans (and revised targets, if necessary) focused on strategic and recurrent cost-cutting initiatives to address any adverse variation against the plan. Our business restructuring approach involves a rigorous and frank appraisal of the situation, enabling a robust business turnaround strategy to be devised and implemented, ensuring opportunities are maximised through rigorous management, stakeholder alignment and the deployment of project and process management techniques such as Prince2, Lean and Six Sigma.
Our professionals represent the best and most experienced interim resources internationally, including chief executives, financial directors & consultants, operational excellence specialists and more. Interim partners and leaders will initiate and implement restructuring, turnaround, transformation and continuous improvement programmes, supporting executive teams to deliver rapid & sustainable change, whilst facilitating the transition to long-term successors to ensure ongoing success.
Our initial services focused on the logistics & manufacturing sectors.
