TODAY

Difficulties, problems, crisis and not achieving goals are issues that occur in business and projects everyday just like they do in ordinary life.

Considering the trends in the world today, broad economic downturns, increasing global competition, rapid industry consolidations, dramatic political changes and tremendous social upheaval difficulties, problems, crisis and non-achievement of goals should be expected. In fact, any new business or project organizers should carefully consider the effects any current trends may have on them and include the analysis in their preliminary business planning process.

Unfortunately, this doesn't happen often and many businesses and projects in all parts of the world are facing difficulties, issues, problems and crisis for which they are unprepared or unable to manage effectively. The resulting damage from difficulties, problems, crisis and achieving goals when not managed effectively can have serious and permanent consequences to all "interested parties" (investors, owners, directors, sponsors, lenders, managers and employees). When a business or project does not operate effectively or economically and cannot meet its financial obligations employees lose their job and the value of the business to all "interested parties" is eroded or lost.

Fortunately, difficulties, problems and crisis can be overcome, goals can be achieved and businesses and projects can fully recover, grow and prosper just as people do in ordinary life. Although this is a fact that all can end well why do such a large percentage of businesses and projects that have difficulties, issues, problems or crisis fail?

Failure - a process

Failure, like success, is a process and once it starts it is difficult to stop or change. Failure doesn't happen in one moment or because of one act or event taken by one person. Failure occurs over time due to a series of bad actions and events and after many bad decisions that have been made by many people. Remember, there are usually many "interested parties" involved in a business or project and usually they all are involved in taking actions or making decisions at some level. Unfortunately, not all those actions or decisions are correct or good and each of them has an effect on the business or project. So how does the process of failure get stopped so a business or project can start the process of success?

Failure Interrupted

Someone, one of the " interested parties," must recognize that a wrong action(s) has been taken or that a bad decision (s) has been made and that the business or project has serious difficulties, issues, problems or is in a crisis in order to interrupt the process of failure. Someone must recognize that the business or project is failing.

This sounds simple and obvious, and it is, but think about how long businesses and projects continue to take the wrong actions and make bad decisions before they eventually fail and no one ever recognized that they were failing. Recognition is the first step to interrupt failure.

What is the next step?

Remember that age-old question that everyone has heard sometime in his or her life. 
"What is the first thing that you do if you have dug yourself into a hole…Stop Digging!!! Again, this sounds simple and seems so obvious, but history says that it is a difficult action to take and a decision that many do not make. In many failing businesses or projects everyone wants to keep taking action and keep making decisions, they keep digging!!!

Once failure has been recognized, the next step to interrupt failure is to stop taking action and stop making decisions. Now, this may sound dramatic and it may seem or feel unnatural, but by not taking actions and making decisions you create a period of time, 
"Stop Action", when the process of failure, wrong actions and bad decisions can be addressed. This period of "Stop Action" may be short, a few days, or it may be as long as a few weeks. Also, the "Stop Action" may only apply to certain actions or decisions. In any situation, this period of "Stop Action" must be taken for any failing business or project to have the opportunity to survive and succeed. Failure must be interrupted.

Now, if the process of failure has been recognized and if the period of "Stop Action" has been created, what next?

Success - First Step

Success, like failure, is a process and once it starts it is difficult to stop or change. Success doesn't happen in one moment or because of one act or event taken by one person. Success occurs over time due to a series of correct actions and good decisions taken by many people. The "First Step" in the process of success for a business or project that has been failing, is to engage outside professionals who are experienced and have been successful in crisis and turnaround management.

A few businesses or projects that have been failing may have the internal ability to interrupt failure and start the process of success. Unfortunately most do not.

The process of success and recovery rarely occurs in a straight line, particularly if a business or project has been failing. The challenge for all of the "interested parties" is to create the period of "Stop Action" and take that "First Step" to start the process of success by engaging an experienced professional outside crisis, turnaround management company.

This "First Step" cannot be a period for cynicism or for assigning blame. Rather, once the engagement has been made, the business or project, the "interested parties" and the outside professionals need to create a positive environment within which they can all work together to start the process of success.
