The Institute for Turnaround defines turnaround as the sustainable return to viability of an underperforming organisation.

Rehabilitation

Articulate a strategy for growth
Develop a sustainable organisational strategy for future growth
Exit from turnaround
Execute organisational strategy and realise growth.
Can your Organisation benefit from Turnaround?
- Stressed not fatal – The organisation is experiencing a period of under performance due to a sharp shock or steady decline.
- Decline and fall – Failure to reverse decline will do irreparable damage to the organisation.
- A viable future – If the organisation can overcome its immediate troubles, it has a good chance of succeeding in the medium to long term.
