Step-by-Step Approach to Successful Turnaround
Presented by Paul Hajek and Ann Edson, Galliard Group

The difficult economic times we are experiencing right now mean that many companies will be affected by sudden drop in revenues, shrinking profit margins, loss in productivity, drop in morale, or the departure of key employees and customers. Inevitably, some organizations will survive but some will not. The survivors will be the ones that take decisive actions that challenge the status quo.
 
Paul Hajek and Ann Edson, partners and senior consultants of Galliard Group, a leading family business consulting company based in the Pacific Northwest, will share the steps a company experiencing severe difficulties must take immediately to reverse their course toward success. They will also discuss some long-term strategies designed to take any company to the next level of success.
