Kirchner and Company assessments provide an in-depth report on the company’s business, and in particular focusing on Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT). We have refined our assessment process over many years to provide a detailed view of a company so that investors can make a well-informed decision concerning the preferred strategic direction and go forward options of the company. Generally, our assessment process results in a full SWOT analysis, an outline of the various go forward options, together with the pros and cons of each option.
This identification and analysis of the merits of each go-forward option is a key differentiator for us from consultants who may purport to provide assessment-like services. Typically, the main decision facing investors and BOD members in complex situations is not only (a) what to do next, but also (b) how to do it. Kirchner and Company plays a key role in illuminating these options and can step in to help execute them if appropriate. Also unlike the approach typically taken by consultants, we don’t issue a report just based on what management told us — we apply our own operational experience and in-the-trenches perspective to separate the “wheat from the chaff”. Although beyond the scope of a typical assessment, we have found that our style and operating experience typically results in an improvement in the company’s performance as a result of working alongside us for the duration of the engagement, as we offer feedback and commentary to management, openly and in real-time.
