Advantages for Reboot Cases
The most difficult and important task in the reform / improvement phase of a business is how to build a common view among internal and external stakeholders. Especially, differences in views between management and other stakeholders on the business strength / status will complicate the situation. Thus, it is indispensable to analyze the current facts and future possibility of business as detail as possible, suggest necessary measures in a timely manner, and get the common perception of the parties. Blest, as an independent outside profession, analyzes the business status, strives to build a common understanding by incorporating the will of the parties concerned, and carry out to develop the best "reform" and "improvement" plans.
