Turnaround management

White Oak Group professionals go into action in a troubled company to analyze problems and carry out a dispassionate, independent assessment of the situation. Then they take quick, decisive action to stabilize it and bring cash management under strict control.

White Oak Group professionals are particularly adept when it comes to developing strategic alternatives for achieving optimal outcomes. Typically these strategies focus on facilitating growth, improving liquidity and restructuring capitalization, realigning organizational structure, boosting profitability, and maximizing shareholder value and creditor recoveries.

Crisis and interim management

In distressed and underperforming companies, White Oak Group provides highly qualified crisis/interim executives in the roles of CRO, CEO, COO, or CFO who take the helm and begin the restructuring process. Unlike many consulting organizations, White Oak Group will accept the full scope and responsibility of these positions, and will be proactive in the recruiting of permanent managers. It will also act as fiduciaries for the client's assets.

Restructurings

Experience gained in turnaround management has prepared White Oak Group professionals to examine core and non-core business entities. Those not producing sufficient cash flow or EBITDA represent either divestiture or reorganization opportunities. Whatever the course of action, White Oak Group is sensitive to human capital issues that often arise during time of organizational upheaval.
