Downsizing & Consolidation

Businesses expand and consolidate operations in “business as usual” environments all the time.  Expansion needs may stem from organic growth, new product lines, or acquisitions.  Consolidation may be needed if a key customer is lost, or to improve operating costs.  Even in “business as usual” situations, businesses often lack the resources to dedicate to the project, or do not have adequate skills and experience to ensure successful implementations.

We can help.

This Is Not A “Business as Usual” Situation

Many businesses that have experienced substantially reduced revenue will respond first with tactical, short-term approaches to cut costs, typically through layoffs and spending freezes.  The next step is to take a more strategic view of the situation, and determine how to downsize and consolidate operations in a way that will create a leaner, more agile business that can perform better over time.

TLG has extensive experience with downsizing and consolidation efforts.  These efforts are frequently required as a subset to our M&A integration and Turnaround services.  From the bricks and mortar side of consolidation, our team brings extensive experience and expertise in the areas of facilities design, real estate, industrial engineering, supply chain, and project management.

More importantly, our Strategy and Execution services ensure that downsizing and consolidation efforts are consistent with the overall vision.  In this environment, it’s not just tempting to move quickly – it’s needed.  If there is no time to re-evaluate strategy, we can at least help you to maintain a strategic view.  When the immediate round of cost-cutting has been completed, we’re in an excellent position to assist to help you re-evaluate strategy, because we’ll already know more about your business.
