Turning the tide: Detect, decide, and deliver effective turnarounds

A board is only as effective as its ability to steer the ship through stormy conditions.

Is your board equipped with the right knowledge and skills to keep the organisation afloat and allow it to prosper in the long term or in the event of financially challenging times?  

This session takes a forward-looking approach to identifying financial and operational stress long before traditional insolvency indicators surface.

It will explore how timing, early detection, and decisive action can shift outcomes in distressed or underperforming organisations. This session will cover:

• The concept of diminishing optionality—why an organisation’s choices shrink as its financial position deteriorates. 
• Critical areas where early warning signs of insolvency tend to appear. 
• The benefits of a proactive, value-creation approach for leading a successful turnaround. 
• Real-world case studies that highlight how early engagement and structured intervention can preserve value, protect stakeholders, and change the trajectory of an organisation. 

This session offers candid, actionable insights for lenders, advisors, directors, and operators looking to spot issues early—and move quickly while there’s still room to manoeuvre.
