Is Your Business On Shaky Ground? It Will Take More Than Financial Restructuring To Save It

Let me be nosy, how did your business end up on shaky ground in the first place? Did you fail to plan? Did you fail to keep your plan up to date, drown the company in it and not live by it? Maybe you failed to spend the money you had wisely. Face it, somewhere along the line you made some bad decisions and now you have to live with the consequences. More money or different ways of paying it back is not the total answer. So why is it the first thing people think of is financial restructuring?

Even if the guys with the green eyeshades think there’s something to be gained by keeping the company around they’re not going to keep you. Even if you get “kicked upstairs” for a while no one will be able to jack up the logo and slide in a new a company and therein lays the reason that just financial restructuring won’t work.

A company grows in the path established by its leaders. If the leaders have brought the company to the brink of ruin what do you think the people, policies and procedures look like? In order to survive the entire corporate culture must undergo restructuring. New leadership will help but the habits of every employees thought will need to be broken and reformed otherwise they have no choice but to rely on loosing ways and the company ends up never getting out of Chapter 13. Einstein said it best, "No problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it."

Where does that leave us? In addition to financial restructuring, the company will need to rethink and revamp the business plan, a new operating plan and goals needs to be put n place, new procedures and processes may need to be set in place, and programs to instill the “new way” from the top down must be implemented. It’s not an easy task but it can be done provided you don’t commit all you resources to financial restructuring.
