The Company Doctors' How-to Guide for Doing a Business Turnaround is a comprehensive and actionable framework designed to help leaders revive underperforming companies.

It walks through the entire transformation process—from diagnosing financial and operational challenges to implementing strategic interventions.

It begins with clear definitions and the urgency of early action, then delves into recognizing common red flags like declining sales, poor cash flow, and disengaged employees. From there, it emphasizes the importance of thorough assessment—analyzing financial dashboards, operations, sales, and competitors to uncover root causes of decline such as ineffective leadership, market shifts, or inefficiencies.

The core of the guide focuses on building and executing a structured turnaround plan. This includes setting 30-60-90 day SMART goals, restructuring finances, improving operational efficiency, adopting lean processes, training employees, and revitalizing marketing and sales efforts. Proprietary tools like the Company Doctors’ Financial Dashboard and Sales Assessment support each stage. Progress is monitored through KPI tracking, regular reviews, and feedback loops that promote continuous improvement.

Ultimately, the guide underscores sustainability—fostering a resilient, innovative culture where small, daily improvements fuel long-term success. It’s a tactical playbook for leaders ready to steer their business from survival to thriving.
