Corporate RenewalAll businesses are Value-Added Work connected by an Input/Output Channel that begins with the raw components of the product, and ends with the customers needs being met. Productivity is maximized by balancing the capacity of the Input/Output Channel, the Proficiency of the Value-Added Worker, and the Information and Instructions necessary to accomplish the task in an Atmosphere of Community. (See The Four Laws of Productivity). The rest of the organization exists to profitably create and support these elements. The section on Corporate Renewal discusses the elements of an organization as they relate to improving corporate performance and profitability, and has links with various elements of experience from the résumés of the professionals represented. We look forward to hearing from you about how we can assist you with your corporate renewal decisions. Turnaround ManagementMany companies find the latest corporate buzz words painful euphemisms for costly and disruptive events that fall short of the intended goals and leave employee's loyalties shattered. How renewal efforts are applied to the elements of organizational productivity explains the wide difference in results seen by companies purporting to do the same things. Applying the ideas to the wrong elements can damage or destroy a company. The Section on Turnaround Management discusses some of the issues that lead to corporate decline and refers to the resume of Richard A. Johnson, a Certified Turnaround Professional who has been involved in improving corporate performance for over thirty years.

Crisis ManagementAs a company's fortunes decline, industry experience is often less important than the knowledge to make critical decisions quickly to effect a turnaround. Often a new face can become a catalyst for resolution of previously hardened positions. The section on Crisis Management discusses the alternatives when a crisis exists and lists the major reasons that companies fail. Understanding the reasons that companies fail can lead to remedial action before taking the ultimate step into bankruptcy. BankruptcyIt is a sad fact of life that over 20,000 corporations filed for Bankruptcy during the past year including hundreds of public companies, some two dozen of which had assets in excess of one billion dollars. Tens of thousands more just quietly ceased to exist. Included in the section on Crisis Management is a description of the Bankruptcy Process. Equity CommitteeOf those companies that file for bankruptcy, less than five percent sought and were granted Equity Committees to look out after the stockholders. Without an Equity Committee, (a.k.a. Stockholder's Committee) most stockholders were wiped out and the assets were sold or turned over to the Creditors. The section on Bankruptcy under Crisis Management describes the bankruptcy process and tells you what can be done when there is stockholder equity to protect. If you are a stockholder in a public company that has or is about to file for bankruptcy, you may contact us through the feedback page and learn what can be done to form an Equity Committee so you can be represented when the fate of your stock is decided. Creditor CommitteeCreditor Committees are almost always formed when a company files for bankruptcy. Nevertheless, creditors often receive less then full repayment of their debt during a reorganization. As shown in the section on Crisis Management, recovering less than the full amount owed is frequently the result of poor management decisions both before and during the bankruptcy process. Creditors committees can benefit from our expertise in improving the performance of the estate either before the filing, during the process, or after the reorganization. You can contact us through the feedback form at the top of this page for an evaluation of what can be done to improve your recovery.

Mold TestingMolds are essential components of our planet ecosystem providing decomposition of many organic substances necessary to plant, animal, and human life. However, excessive exposure to molds has been a health issue for humans for many, many years. The earliest known writings that appear to discuss mold infestation and remediation (cleaning up, removal) are found in the Old Testament. . Molds have been implicated as the cause of a variety of health effects in humans including allergic reactions, asthma, runny nose, headaches, depression, skin eruptions, bloodshot eyes, lack of energy, irritability, poor appetite, and brain damage. The section on mold expands on the consequences of excessive mold and the need for testing the air in buildings for mold spores.
