Bas Bergmans - Your Turn

A Comprehensive Guide to Lead Business Turnarounds

ENTREPRENEURSHIP | STRATEGY

Jump to: Book details | About the author | Table of contents

Your Turn is a book meticulously crafted for CEOs, board members, entrepreneurs, management con-sultants, restructuring experts, and MBA students.

The primary objective is to offer an in-depth understanding of how to lead a successful business turnaround, guiding the reader through the entire process—from identifying ‘signals of distress’ and ‘acceptance’ to the successful production and implementation of a turnaround plan within 90 days.

Your Turn bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. It provides invaluable insights into the art and science of reviving a distressed business, coupled with a solid academic foundation to support its methodology.

The author draws on his extensive experience in corporate business and entrepreneurship, as well as insights gained from interviewing over 100 CEOs and restructuring experts he worked with in the past, to provide a trustworthy and practical guide for successfully managing business turnarounds.
