We understand some initial hesitancy to work with 3rd parties, such as consultants, but there is a time and place for leveraging specialists, experts, and financial partners to traverse challenging events or cycles. It is exactly during times of stress, often coupled with limited financial flexibility, when a company benefits most from the right set of complementary capabilities and resource capacity.
