Rising interest rates, inflation, geopolitical uncertainty, increasing regulatory requirements in the field of ESG and economic stagnation: the environmental factors are having a negative impact on many companies. This increases the need to react to them with suitable measures - especially in the area of operational optimisation. For this, companies need good scenario analyses to know their need for action and their room for manoeuvre.
Strategic realignment in times of crisis is therefore one of the focus topics in the new issue of our newsletter Restructuring Update. In it, our experts show how they supported a struggling mechanical engineering company in the development and implementation of a turnaround and future concept.

We highlight use cases and address relevant risks that need to be considered when using AI. It is important to minimise these risks with appropriate measures.
We also look again at the situation of two sectors:
