About Us
"Building blocks to performance."
WS & Associates specialises in improving profit and people performance and executing turnarounds in rapidly changing or distressed situations.
Our people are seasoned industry and consulting professionals and have deep understanding of operations, strategy, profit, cash and business value. Our low-leverage, small-team model means that you get responsiveness and insights in which you can have a high degree of confidence. Furthermore, we spend a substantial amount of time at the business’ coalface, leading to pragmatic, ‘real’, sustainable solutions with strong involvement and buy-in from employees.
Our service lines include:
- Corporate turnaround
- Operations and productivity improvement
- People and performance
- Low cost country sourcing and supply chain solutions.
Our business is built on core values:
- Trust: We trust each other, and our clients trust us. This is the cornerstone of providing advice and moving quickly and assertively in a dynamic or distressed environment.
- Empathy: At some stage our team has most likely been in our client’s position or a very similar position. Our empathy allows us to build alignment, and understand the solutions quicker than most.
- Passion: To work for WS, you need passion. Not the fabricated passion you only talk about, but the passion where you are always ‘on’, and always striving for a better solution and a better way of solving problems.
We can be engaged by any key stakeholders in a business, and work to create alignment between them to facilitate solutions.
- Industry (executive management or board)
- Debt holders, and/or
