Reviews
Review from previous edition:
Tilley is the quintessential hands-on operational turnaround professional. As such, his book reads like a battle cry in the war to preserve value.

Review from previous edition: The book is a very useful tool when addressing underlying business problems, managing managers’ overconfidence, developing a turnaround business plan, identifying a revised strategy and what it needs to get the management team to implement these plans, including some war stories, eg La Seda de Barcelona.
Review from previous edition: In summary, a very useful and worthy text, not simply for the “war stories”, but especially for the distillation of experience and reference to developments in a number of jurisdictions, lending this work a very strong comparative feel.

Following the highly regarded first edition, this second edition of Turnaround Management covers important legislative changes since 2018 and their significant effect on turnaround practice, particularly EU Directive 2019/1023 and the UK’s Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020. It covers, among other things:
- the evolution of turnaround;
- the influence of the United States Bankruptcy Code’s Chapter 11 on European turnaround; and
- the influence of US turnaround practice on driving change from default insolvency to a better balance of debtor and creditor interests to unlock and preserve going-concern value in distressed businesses.
The importance of stakeholder management is emphasised, particularly in the light of new moratorium-based legislation, and how this can be leveraged to more consensual turnaround ahead of insolvency without compromising secured creditor collateral. Drawing on the author’s 40-plus years of hands-on turnaround management experience, the reader is also guided through such key issues as cash control, operational change, business plan development and team building to implement the plans – all brought to life through case studies.
