What Do Turnaround Consultants Really Do? Lessons from the Trenches

When a company faces crisis, debt, or operational decline, turnaround consultants become critical. But what do they actually do? At X-PM, our interim turnaround specialists have seen it all — and delivered results across industries.

Diagnosing the Root Causes of Decline

The first step is a brutal facts assessment. Consultants analyse financial statements, supply chain inefficiencies, and leadership gaps to pinpoint the real causes of decline—not just the symptoms.

Stabilising Operations Under Pressure

Turnaround professionals act fast to stabilise cash flow, renegotiate contracts, and restore stakeholder confidence. Interim executives from X-PM are deployed within days, taking operational control to prevent further damage.

Restoring Profitability and Growth

Once stability is achieved, X-PM’s turnaround consultants shift focus to long-term recovery. This includes restructuring business units, optimising cost structures, and rethinking go-to-market strategies. X-PM’s experts don’t just advise – they implement with full accountability.

Turnaround consulting is about execution under pressure. With X-PM, businesses gain not just advice but seasoned leaders who deliver recovery with measurable results.
