In such situations, FTI-Andersch helps to develop resilient solutions. With our option analyses, we ensure objectivity and transparency and thus bring the stakeholders to the table.
Based on our experience, we know what matters and what balance is required between exploring the scope for action and the speed of implementation. We bring the necessary industry knowledge to the table and, at the same time, a high level of financial and performance expertise – this allows us to examine the options from different perspectives. Our detailed scenario analyses are also very helpful – here, investors can see very concretely how decisions will affect them.
