STAKES

Feasible with Excelliance!

Excelliance’s experts are on an equal footing with their customers due to their experience and competence and offer more than pure hands-on support depending on the situation. In order to ensure the implementation of measures, we do not shy away from any risk and assume responsibility either in the position of executive leadership, line function or in project management.

With many years of competence and highly specialized know-how, Excelliance supports customers primarily from the manufacturing industry, either through a comprehensive restructuring/reorganization with the goal of a quick turnaround or through a transformation process with the goal of increasing performance in individual areas such as corporate finance, HR, purchasing and development. Excelliance focuses on supporting its customers in the manufacturing industry.

The required change projects in companies lead to complex process changes including measures to increase efficiency in individual areas of the company or even to the reorganization/restructuring of the entire company or its divisions. These tasks cannot be performed by management in parallel with day-to-day business.

The deep industry knowledge of the Excelliance specialists enables complex tasks to be quickly grasped and implementable solutions to be developed together with the customer’s employees. We provide optimal support as a quickly deployable task force or as an interim implementation team in unexpected special situations, strategically important projects or sudden vacancies.

What are representative operational situations?

Reactive: Intensive care, recovery, reorganization, restructuring, turnaround, workout

Pure window dressing of the balance sheet leads to restructuring loops in the affected companies.

Against the background of sustainable results, Excelliance gets to the bottom of the causes of a crisis and defines restructuring as a holistic approach in combination with:

  • Financial restructuring
  • Operational restructuring and
  • Strategic restructuring (e.g. realignment of business model, optimization of product portfolio)

Our standard repertoire includes stakeholder management, internal and external communication and – if required – the management of a professional M&A process.

Preventive: Efficiency increase, profit improvement, performance boost, transformation, value enhancement

The clutches of routine block new solutions, especially when the power of growth is weakening, margins are shrinking and innovations are lacking.

Companies that adapt to ever faster developments and upheavals in the market with maximum flexibility do have a clear advantage. We provide support, for example with

  • Working capital management
  • Repositioning/ development of new business areas
  • Paradigm shift/ cultural change
  • Growth offensive organic/ inorganic
  • Post merger integration
  • Innovation management/ product development process
  • Production system 2020 (based on Toyota, Valeo)
  • Harmonization of complexity, costs and processes

Ad hoc: Management of new or troubled programs, projects or tasks, operational crisis and emergency intervention

Growing number of projects, constant shortening of terms, increasing technical requirements, etc. lead to significant challenges in project management.

Based on our project management experience, we provide operational support in order to increase the profitability of the project portfolio, as in the following representative project assignments:

  • Joint Venture management
  • M&A management
  • Optimization of investment portfolio
  • Phase-out of non-strategic business units
  • Production ramp-up/ series production startup
  • Plant start-up/ plant relocation

Ad interim: Complementary support of executive bodies and key positions in a team of hand-picked industry experts led by an Excelliance Partner
