Turnaround Strategy
Strategy Definition represents a key entry point for clients looking to engage Tower Strategy Group. Since 2008, we have worked extensively across both the Private and Public Sectors to help senior executives define the outcomes their organizations need to deliver and the strategy necessary to get there. To ensure actionability, we go a level deeper, delivering 3–5-year Crawl-Walk-Run plans that provide clients with not only broad direction but also the specific tactical actions needed to generate performance improvement gains in the short-term and then, progressively build on those successes over the medium and long-term.
Turnaround
Turnarounds are as relevant for the Public Sector as they are for the Private Sector. For the Private Sector, they’re typically pursued to stop the hemorrhaging. Hemorrhaging that takes the form of quickly eroding market share, profit margins, and customer trust. In the Public Sector those existential risks manifest in the form of OIG, GAO, and Congressional investigations and heightened public scrutiny, all leading to the risk of defunding, forced reorganization or legal action.
Despite these warning signs, in the critical space between barely keeping their head above water and failure, both Private and Public Sector organizations often resist acknowledging their weakened state until it’s nearly too late.
Our turnaround strategy services cut through the denial, pinpoint overlooked vulnerabilities, create alignment around what needs to be solved for, and chart a decisive course from imminent collapse to a robust, high-functioning core — because in these moments, it’s truly do or die.
We enable clients to connect vision and strategic intent to day-to-day execution.
fu.sion
Turnaround programs emerge from chaos. External stakeholder pressure, staff burnout, management infighting, and looming collapse create a perfect storm, obscuring the path to stability. fu.sion cuts through this noise, providing a controlled methodology to rein in chaos and craft a decisive turnaround strategy. Our approach fuses human expertise with cutting-edge AI to navigate this complexity with speed and precision.
Working closely with clients, we rapidly establish clear objectives for their turnaround initiatives and isolate critical vulnerabilities. We use these insights to fine-tune fu.sion's algorithms, including in the ACCELERATOR, enabling context-specific strategy definition and objective prioritization of the resulting portfolio of turnaround initiatives — i.e., what they should tackle immediately vs. what can wait for the mid-term or even the long-term. This prioritization is paramount given the scarce resources and tight timelines inherent in turnaround scenarios.
Throughout this process, fu.sion AI serves as both a thought partner and an advisor. Powered by best practices from successful turnarounds across leading organizations and an extensive external knowledge base, fu.sion AI helps clients regain solid footing. It provides clarity on challenges faced, uncovers root causes, and presents strategic options for a comprehensive reset — all while the clock is ticking.
The result: A tailored, actionable turnaround strategy that addresses immediate threats while laying the groundwork for not just resilience but antifragility. We don't just manage turnarounds — we accelerate them, turning potential failure into an opportunity for long-term leadership.
