John Collard, CEO, Chairman of Strategic Management Partners, Inc., said "these are interesting times for businesses in a troubled world. Turnarounds are a lot like new beginnings – they must build teams, differentiate and sell products and services, secure capitalization, and grow. It is a disgrace for CEOs and boards of directors to allow their company to become distressed and watch value deteriorate." Collard continued. "Turnaround specialists can be an option to stabilize the situation and rebuild value. Turnaround management and corporate recovery strategies will certainly play a key role in recovery."
