Corporate Turnaround and Restructuring for Success

When a private equity firm acquires an organization with untapped potential, achieving a successful turnaround requires more than operational tweaks—it demands a strategic, human-centered approach. At 3Fold Collective, we integrate Organizational Research, Strategy Consulting, and Hands-On Execution to transform potential into performance.

Organizational Research

The foundation of any successful turnaround is understanding the dynamics of the people who drive the business. In this phase, we conduct deep-dive assessments of the organization’s human capital using tools like anonymous surveys and network analysis. For example, we ask employees who they turn to for problem-solving or innovation, identifying key contributors whose retention is critical to success. This research reveals not only standout performers, such as influential engineers or team leads, but also uncovers hidden bottlenecks or silos that may hinder progress. Armed with these insights, we provide a clear roadmap of who to retain, empower, and engage as change leaders.

Strategy Consulting

Insights from the research phase are translated into actionable strategies. We design targeted incentive programs to retain key talent, ensuring critical employees feel valued and invested in the company’s future. Beyond retention, we develop tailored projects, team structures, and leadership initiatives to amplify the influence of trusted employees. By positioning these individuals as role models, we foster the adoption of desired behaviors, values, and norms that underpin the organization’s transformation. For example, elevating trusted team members into visible leadership roles can accelerate cultural alignment and strengthen organizational cohesion.
