Management
for Firms in Transition
Willenbrink Associates
adds value to firms in transition . . . transitions of all kinds. Perhaps it's time to consider buying one of your suppliers . . . or
competitors. Perhaps you are ready to consider opening shop in a new
area of the country, or doing business internationally. Perhaps you
are struggling with trying to instill more "people skills" in
your technical staff. Perhaps you
know it's time to make a specific move, but are unsure as to which
specific direction you should take.
Maybe you're invested in a firm or division that is not performing up
to expectations, but can't identify what the specific problem is, much
less change it. Maybe you know that something
is wrong, but you can't quite pinpoint it. Maybe your success is
happening so fast that control (and/or working cash) is slipping
away.
Some of these problems are blessings and some are curses, but one
thing's for sure. They won't manage themselves. These are
special events, and they need specialty management to turn them into your
profits. Willenbrink Associates provides the expertise and insight
to ensure that you excel.
Plotting Your Strategic Course
Business Planning, Strategic Planning, Marketing Planning, Pro Forma
Financials. We can help with with all of these things. Your
banker will likely require these things when you look for financing, and
we know what he's looking for. But more importantly, you'll get
great benefits by formalizing strategic planning.
Putting Legs on Your Strategy
Organization Management takes the theoretical to the actual. Let
Willenbrink Associates come in and manage your transition team, troubleshoot
current management woes, and capture the imagination of your staff, converting
it to create in the direction you want it to go.
Understanding The Numbers
Your calculations say you're making money, but at the end of the day,
there isn't any money in the account. What's up? We can tell
you, tell you what to do about it, and then help you do it.
Cutting Through The Fog
Your management staff is structured to manage status quo, but these
changes are outside of that field. When you need someone who can
come in, roll up their sleeves, and get things done quickly, but
strategically, call us.
