How well do consultants and interim managers complement each other “on the job”? That was the key question we asked around 70 experts from consulting firms, financial institutions, law firms, SMEs, and private equity houses.

Why this question in particular? Because the right composition of leadership and expert teams is crucial for the success of any business strategy — especially when companies are undergoing transformation.
Therefore, one of the main focuses of the study was to answer the question: Who belongs on the restructuring team — and why?
To explore this, the authors of the study, Sebastian Bretag, Managing Director of KEYPLAYER, and Prof. Dr. Markus Exler, Head of the Institute for Cross-Border Restructuring at FH Kufstein, developed three innovative “instruments” that can also enrich your company’s leadership approach:

01. A contemporary restructuring model

02. An implementation-oriented expert and role model

03. An updated hourglass model for consultants, adapted to new challenges
