Change is a constant in the business world. Technology evolves, competitors make their moves, and expected and unexpected events send ripples through the global economy. The responsibility for adapting to change rests with management. And that’s why it’s so important to find corporate performance services you can trust.
When situations call for a specific expertise, Barrier has developed alliances and working relationships with industry, strategic and operational experts which provide our clients an unparalleled combination of value, quality, agility and breadth of experience.
Barrier Advisors provides the following corporate performance services:
We assess the viability of your company or investment and build a map of strategic paths to maximize value. Our goal is to strengthen the core business and focus the enterprise on initiating future sales, partnerships, alliances and acquisitions in sectors with high value opportunities.
We have maximized profitability in growth environments and tackled the worst in distressed situations. Barrier brings both skill sets to bear to identify the optimal—and most practical—strategic alternatives for our clients.
The ability to deal with profitability and liquidity challenges when they arise is undeniably valuable. The ability to prevent them before they occur is beyond value. And that’s the ability that Barrier Advisors’ process improvement service provides.
Our senior advisors bring relevant real-world experience to bear on your processes, allowing you to plan for the future with confidence in such areas as:
- Performance and productivity improvements
- Product line rationalization and development
- Cost realignment
- Facility and overhead consolidation
- Customer and vendor profitability
- Marketing and sales effectiveness
- Outsourcing
- Quality program implementation
- Purchasing and supply chain optimization
In either an advisory or interim management role, we can help you clarify key issues and develop, implement and monitor the kind of process improvements that deliver results.
Often, financial restructuring is not enough to deal with a company’s challenges. In these cases, companies need knowledgeable operators to go beyond the traditional financial advisory role and to assume front line responsibilities.
Barrier Advisors’ team of experienced operational reengineering professionals help drive the process, combining years of real-world operating experience with customized tools to address the following critical areas:
- Organizational design
- Best practices and value based management
- Asset redeployment
- Benchmarking/Key performance indicators
- Process/Control initiatives
Whether your challenges lie in sales, customer service, production, or goal setting, our comprehensive approach to operational reengineering saves time and money—and more importantly, delivers peace of mind for you and your stakeholders.
In a crisis, the presence of a calm, reassuring and trustworthy manager can make all the difference.
Focused on stabilizing under-performing companies, Barrier Advisors' turnaround management experts can serve a range of management duties, including filling senior executive positions. We can also readily provide the temporary middle management necessary to achieve stability, operational restructuring and increased profitability.
Barrier uses a SWAT team approach for strategic and operational turnarounds. With speed and discipline, we deploy documented and proven methodologies to transform crisis into stability and then into growth and profitability. Once profitability is achieved, we can continue to guide the company and help it prosper and grow.
