We’ve designed a set of services that support our clients in complex, special situations. All these services focus around the creation and restoration of sustainable corporate value.

Strategic Repositioning
Some companies lose focus for a variety of reasons and engage in too many business activities. They overstretch their financial and human resources. As a result, overall performance declines.
We help our clients to identify the right areas of focus, to restructure the business portfolio and to strengthen the new focus areas with the ultimate goal to outperform.

Turnaround Management
Rapid technological change and tough competition in uncertain business environments threaten to sink the business of strong established enterprises as well as early growth companies.
We are our partners’ ally when they face a troubled business situation. A condensed corporate diagnosis provides the information necessary to understand the key issues. Based on this diagnosis, we turn the business around. Upon successful completion of the restructuring process, we are committed to staying on board and further grow the company’s potential and generate sustainable value, if so desired.

Transaction Support
The challenges and risks inherent in today’s financial and M&A transactions are greater than ever.
Our professionals help our clients to cope with these challenges and ensure success in their undertakings. Whether our client is involved in a merger, acquisition, joint venture, or the finalization of a distribution arrangement with a strategic alliance partner, whether an owner wants to divest his business, our efforts ensure that a client possesses critical transaction knowledge and negotiation capabilities from initiation to closing, throughout the entire process.

Issues Management
When an incident disrupts operations, effective response depends on having the right staff and action plans readily available.
Our professionals provide clients with independent assurance that, at all times, a company is well managed, that business practices are compliant with corporate governance standards and that business risks are well understood. Our aim is to quickly build a bridge back to a stable going-concern situation.
For each assignment, it is important to determine in which capacity we shall act. This mainly depends on the situation at hand and the specific requests of our clients.

Personal Advice
Being at the top can be a lonely place. When planning to go to the board or the management team with a new idea, it may be advisable to test the idea with a sparring partner beforehand, who has no responsibility other than to provide independent, personal advice – a second opinion on a peer’s level. When confronted with whatever unusual or challenging situation, it may help to have a “professional friend” whose loyalty is guaranteed. In this atmosphere of open and free debate, thoughts can be discussed which may otherwise never come to surface, but may turn out to may have been major levers of value creation.
We fulfill this role with absolute dedication, total loyalty and on every requested level of discretion.

Our Functions

In an Interim Management role, we take on a leadership management position for a certain period of time to provide guidance, motivation, action and control in times of dramatic corporate change. Ally Management Group partners are proven experts in addressing the many issues that surround a dynamic restructuring situation.

In Board Membership and Management Coaching situations, we work directly and side-by-side with a company‘s executive management. Our aim is to ensure that all actions taken produce sustainable superior performance. Our engagement reassures stakeholders that the company is taking important steps to address its problems and, thereafter, continuously maximizes its value.

We offer Advisory Services on the basis of extensive know-how and first-hand experience in the real world of management. In doing so, our aim is not to create another lengthy consulting report. After all, one of the most important things a company can do in times of apparent business distress is to get things corrected as early as possible. Our corporate diagnoses are sensitive to the time constraints given by critical situations, they make sure that key issues are understood and they provide clear recommendations for action.
