Best Selling Author of Corporate Turnaround: Nursing a sick
company
back to health
Date:
Dear Friend
Are
you currently facing some difficult challenges and adverse changes
in your business? And is this making you stressed out, losing
confidence and appetite as well as sleepless nights in managing your
organization? You need help. And you are thinking to yourself, there
must be a better way? You tell yourself, “Things just have to
improve!” But HOW?
Well, if you are in this situation and looking for answers. This may be
the most important letter you will ever read.
You may or may not have heard of me. But I have been labeled the
“Turnaround
Expert and CEO of Asia” by the media,
mainly
due to my expertise in this area. I have run many ailing businesses and
turning them around successfully into the black, many as quickly as
within a year. In fact one company was running USD
-623,483 before
I took over, and within 11 months it not only recovered but made well
over USD452,349
in profits with the sales revenue increasing by 52%.
That is more than a million dollars that I help this company make.
Wouldn't you like this result in your business?
In another longer engagement (which I was sought after for 9 months as
they were not able to find a suitable CEO to help
transform the company), the company's profits grew annually by
15-17%
for
the
7 years when I was at its helm. This led me to conclude that my
strategies can help you sustain your business growth in the long term. |

What Some of The Industry Leaders are Saying
About Mike...
|
"Dr.
Teng’s book
is practical, relevant and useful during this global economic
slump. His three phases of corporate turnaround, namely surgery,
resuscitation
and nursing, are workable and applicable to the restoration of many
sick companies in Asia. I would highly recommend
this book to CEOs,
managers and top civil servants who are trying to steer their
organizations out of the economic doldrums."
Mr Oei Hong
Leong,
Chairman,
China Strategic Holdings Ltd, Hong Kong
|
"Corporate
Turnaround,
is a rare book. Dr. Mike Teng is able to offer revolutionary insights
that promise universal applications with total clarity."
Dr. Y Y Wong, Chairman,

Let’s
face it. In this competitive global
market,
change management has become an integral part of daily corporate lives.
Constant transformation and when needed, the application of turnaround
strategies are crucial in keeping your company in check and alive.
Before I continue... Let me share the 3-Step turnaround
plan I use just to give you a glimpse of my strategy:
Step 1: Surgery
Improve your cash flow by restructuring the organization and putting a
stop to the unnecessary expenses.
Step 2:
Resuscitation
Inject new business income streams and boost existing sales to increase
your profits.
Step 3: Nursing
Strengthen your corporate culture and team to build a strong and
healthy corporate immune system to sustain long-term growth.
There you go. These are the 3 steps that I have successfully applied in
my multiple engagements. You may be thinking, "Hey I know this".
But do You really understand and more importantly ARE YOU APPLYING THEM
CORRECTLY?
Did you know? "The turnaround plan should be holistic and based on
addressing both
strategic and operational issues in the short and long term". Such plan
should seek not only to cut costs but to grow revenues and change the
corporate culture in order to manage the vagaries of the marketplace.
As a CEO you need to balance and manage this well. And many times,
there
are outside help available to make you do your job better.
To help you more... I have added a couple of diagrams used to turn
around many businesses.

Using East-West
Medical Principles Help Companies Strengthen Their
Financial Health
You
may not be aware.
There is actually a close linkage between the
human physical health and the corporate fiscal health. Imagine this for
a moment. When you fall sick, like a bad infection, you seek
consultation from a Medical Doctor. The doctor will prescribe the right
kind of medicine and treatment. Perhaps add some antibiotics if the
infection is bad to get you on your feet in 5 or 7 days.
Similarly if
your company has a “disease”, you will seek advice
from a
Turnaround Doctor. Preferably someone who has real-life corporate
turnaround experience as well as the academic credentials to give you
the best advice at the most critical time of your business. Any small
mistake at this point may just cost your business to file for
chapter...
Diagram
1: Complete
Corporate Turnaround Plan

The starting process (shown in diagram 1) of identifying the
various
viruses namely, competitive forces, incompetent management, change in
consumer behaviour, economic recession, etc, that can attack a
company. Then the proper treatment is administered through
the
execution of the three phases mentioned above to eliminate the various
viruses.
To
further elaborate.
As I help companies improve their
bottom line and generate new streams of revenue, I realized that there
are strong parallels between the Western and Eastern medical treatments
for the different stages of ailments or the different corporate
turnaround and transformation phases. Western medicine is concerned
with the disease, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) focuses on the
state of health of the whole body.
Western style medical treatment is especially effective for cases of
acute illness and trauma. Phase 1 (Surgery) and 2 (Resuscitation) of
the corporate turnaround and transformation fall into these categories
as they often involve life-and-death cases. Decisive, right
dosages and timely administration of life-saving drugs and therapies
can often minimize damage and expedite the recovery process. The
emphasis is on a step-by-step and systematic methodology, especially
for critical surgical process as there is timing constraint.
Similar to
the use of drugs which are chemical in nature and can create negative
side effects, there are negative side effects in the use of some Phase
1 (Surgery) processes such as in the case of a downsizing exercise (is
like amputation) which can create staff morale problems.
Diagram
2:
Parallels between Corporate Turnaround Phases and
Western-Eastern
Medical Treatments
On
the other hand, the strength of the
Oriental medicine lies in the
treatment of chronic diseases, manifested largely as attacks on the
corporate culture and immune system. The best way to fight
diseases is to have a strong immune system. To improve and
strengthen
the system, spontaneous cure and internal
long-term balance are
considered more important than fast and short-term measures.
The
efficacious effect of Phase 3 (Nursing) is the powerful driving force
towards reinstatement of good health and optimal total body
condition.
Both the hard and “brain” issues (cash flow
improvement,
revenue growth etc) addressed in Phase 1 (Surgery) and 2
(Resuscitation) as well as the soft and “heart”
issues
(staff morale, corporate culture etc) in Phase 3 (Nursing) are required
for holistic corporate turnaround and transformation.
Diagram 2
illustrates the salient issues in the implementation of the three
phases. The right strategy lies in integrative management –
best
of Eastern and Western practices. |

Australian
Alumni Singapore Newsletter, April 2003
“Having served as a CEO of several troubled companies, Dr
Teng
had demonstrated his corporate turnaround skills by successfully
rescuing them out of near financial stability and robust growth
again. His unique approach of using medical analogies to
drive
home the concepts and methods of effective corporate turnaround
presents businesses with turnaround solutions that are easy to
grasp.” |
SilverKris,
March 2003
“Written by one of Asia’s leading turnaround CEOs,
Dr
Michael Teng, Corporate Turnaround is aimed at companies experiencing a
slump in business and facing no prospect of improvement in the
foreseeable future.” |
Smart
Investor, December 2002
“With a liberal helping of Sun Tzu and nods to Confucius and
the
Bible, Corporate Turnaround offers plenty of the author’s own
insights, not to mention pertinent examples drawn from the experiences
of well-known companies that have managed to swim rather than
sink.” |
Productivity
Digest, May 2003
“Dr Teng shared his thoughts on Corporate Turnaround with
some
120 chief executive officers (CEOs) and senior executives at a CEO
Breakfast Talk.” |
STAR,
5 May
2003
“Overall, the book reads well with the help of many tables
and
illustrations. The currency and variety of the case studies
provide another reading pleasure.” |
|
|
"Dr. Teng’s book
is very useful, beneficial and a great panacea for many
sick and weak manufacturing companies in Singapore and the world. The
turnaround techniques are systematically presented, thought-provoking
and inspiring. An excellent reference guide for businessmen, executives,
professionals and people who are interested to improve their
company’s
performance."
- Dr. Robin Lau, President,
Singapore Confederation of Industries, Singapore. |
Yet, you must be thinking how do all these apply to
me?…
Myth
1: “We have seen this before.
This is a little
hiccup in the economy and our business is seasonal. Nothing
has gone wrong.”
Let me be blunt here. ARE YOU IN DENIAL?
Management of troubled companies often goes into a state of
self-denial. Akin to getting cancer, some patients previously adopted
the attitude: “This will not happen to me.” But
when it does happen, are you prepared to hear this from the doctor?
“Sorry, we Cannot Help You.” It is a myth
that companies are not vulnerable to sickness. Such denial is
insidious, resulting in delays in the necessary remedial actions during
the early stage of under-performance and by the time the
companies’ woes are publicly known, they are already often
funeral cases.
The quicker you realised this pain, the faster the proper treatment
can be administered. The key to successful
turnaround is early intervention and diagnosis. How to
engender a corporate culture and management team that are sensitive to
changes in the marketplace so that early action can be taken? Many
companies have annual medical examinations and health screenings
for their employees but are negligent when it comes to their own
regular check-ups. What then are the early warning signs of a sick
company?
Myth
2: “Our creditors and banks are chasing for
payments, we
have a credit squeeze and firing of our staff must continue till cash
flow improves.”
A doctor once said, "The surgery was good but the patient died". Yes,
troubled companies need to cut cost to the bones without injuring
the muscles and the vital organs. However, it is a myth that
the primary role of a turnaround manager is merely to be ruthless and
fire people in order to reduce overheads. Downsizing is like amputation
which has negative side effects and can further worsen the staff
morale. Why should the good staff remain in a sinking ship if the
company continues to downsize? Yet, downsizing is inevitable
at times to survive, how then do you carry out a downsizing exercise
without causing the haemorrhage of good staff?
Myth 3:
“China, India and SE Asia are high-growth markets and
they appear a safe bet for us to expand and invest the business
there.”
You may be the lucky one as your company is not in the critical
life-and-death situation but merely seeking market expansion. Also,
many companies in the West face intense competition and shrinking
domestic market and surmise that a way to turn around their fortunes is
to venture into high growth regions in Asia. It is a myth that it is a
safe route to success by doing business in Asia. Though the business
opportunities are great, there are many pitfalls and differences in
business practices that these companies ought to be mindful about in
venturing into high-growth Asia. What are these pitfalls and
differences in business practices in Asia?
Do any of the above questions sound familiar to you? If they do, my
strategies will help you.
So What's the Difference in Your Plan and Techniques
From Other
Transformation Experts? What Sets You Apart From the Rest?
These are fair questions. And you ought to be skeptical when searching
for a good turnaround advice.
I have more than 27 years of corporate experience in the Asia Pacific
region with 17 years holding the Chief Executive Officer positions in
multi-national, local and publicly listed companies. Several
prestigious professional institutions have recognized my practical and
academic background and awarded me the “Fellows”
membership status. I had led in the turnaround of many
troubled organizations. Some brought back from near bankruptcies to
life. You will understand how this feel if you have been in
this situation.
Due to my background in running a pharmaceutical company, I use medical
analogies to explain complex concepts and methods so that they are
easily understood and applied by the general readers. In a
crisis situation and if you do not have prior hands-on turnaround
experience, you do not have time to seek help from the experts or read
a turnaround manual. My medical analogies will help you intuitively to
take the right decisions as we understand the workings of our physical
body. This is because there is a strong parallel between physical and
fiscal health.
When I wrote my first book, it became an instant best-selling business
book. Read the testimonials on it. From there, I can see that there is
a market and need for good information on corporate transformation. And
although it took me a while to write the two books, I am glad I did. My
books and practical experience appeal to both serious turnaround
managers as well as the general public because the turnaround
techniques are culled from the best management practices from the West
and East as well as personal hands-on experience.
So how much will this cost me? I can easily charge
USD5000
for this system since the strategies alone can help you generate
above USD100,000 in profit if you just apply them.

a Sick
Company Back to Health (200 pages). Powerpoint slides included. A USD57
Value.
Is downsizing the answer to solving your corporate woes?
Ever wondered
why your company is not growing? Or why companies fall sick, recover
and subsequently succumb to the same ailments?
If these questions sound familiar, chances are your company is in a
slump and it does not seem like the situation will improve any time
soon. Like many companies, yours has fallen sick due to
corporate viruses such as global economic slowdowns, the rapid changes
of globalization, terror attacks and incompetent management.
However, even dying companies can attain holistic and long-term
recovery by applying the new breakthrough prescription of surgery,
resuscitation and nursing. This ground-breaking book expounds concepts
which are at the leading edge of turnaround management. I have included
Powerpoint slides for your quick reference and presentation to your
board.
My
Best-Selling Book on Video: Dr Teng's Presentation:
Corporate
Turnaround and Transformation (110 minute VIDEO). Valued at USD97.
Watch me LIVE! I explained how to prescribe effective
and
easy-to-administer turnaround techniques in the right doses using
medical analogies. These techniques have been successfully
applied by many turnaround managers and re-formulated to be both
universally applicable and user friendly. The author also
answers questions posed by business people from China, India, Singapore
etc. This video was telecasted to the whole of Asia Pacific by
Skylearner. It will help non-Asians understand how
to do business in Asia.
New
Release 2006! Corporate Wellness Book: 101 Principles in
Turnaround and
Transformation (200 pages book in English). Valued at USD57.
There are workable, preventive, diagnostic and
therapeutic steps to
treat sick companies, and to restore as well as maintain their well
being. Doctors generally only treat the disease and do not
treat wellness. Similar to handling of a person’s
health, a company needs to monitor the five stages to sustain long-term
health and wellness, namely, prevention, early diagnosis, proper
treatment, recovery or rehabilitation and strengthening or
health-boosting. Corporate Wellness is not another textbook
or trade book for corporate turnaround and transformation. It
provides a quick understanding of how real-world business turnarounds
and transformations are successfully implemented using simple and yet
succinct 101 principles.
