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