About

Andreas Sattlberger delivers measurable earnings for companies. Typical issues that he tackles are:

Andreas Sattlberger
  • Earnings are at risk, because of a sales slump, cost inflation or excessive overhead cost
  • Liquidity is running short, but high inventory gobbles up cash
  • Customers complain that deliveries are late and unreliable
  • Supply chain disruptions and parts cost blow up our production plans and sales margins
  • A crucial restructuring initiative must succeed for the company to survive and thrive
  • Critical projects and markets are at risk of collapsing

When facing these issues, decision-makers need to mobilize all available resources for success. The use of external forces often provides the decisive thrust for a breakthrough.

In such situations – liquidity bottlenecks, earnings crisis, loss of an executive, turnaround, transformation, international issues, etc. – I provide “hands-on” support and measurable results through my external view, my strong focus and my many years of experience.

The goal is clear: overcoming the challenge by increasing profits in a sustainable way. This ensures continued survival and opens the horizon for new growth. The basis of this success is a trusting collaboration. Thus, we create together the basis for a bright future.

Approach

Success is the result of effective action. While we all have goals and plans, up to 80 % of strategies do not succeed. When things go downhill the mind needs to concentrate on staying on course. Distractions must be eliminated. However, focus in execution is the seemingly rare commodity that makes results happen.

“Effective Leadership is defined by results not attributes” – Peter Drucker

His approach to delivering results is based on an open team culture leveraging rigorous, creative problem-solving with measurable goals and clear accountability.
