Performance Improvement
Some companies face the challenge of prolonged poor performance, while others prepare in advance for market headwind or look to realize their full potential before major strategic or ownership changes. Regardless of the situation, addressing topline, cost, as well as capital levers are key in holistically improving a company’s performance. August supports its clients in performance improvement, ranging from potential analysis and target setting to managing turnaround programs and hands-on delivering the impact together with the client.
