  Whether serving in interim management roles or in a performance improvement advisory capacity, we draw on deep operational heritage and proven approaches (such as our proprietary rapid results diagnostic) to assess businesses and identify key areas impeding performance quickly and effectively.
• Cost Optimization: A&M’s cost optimization program is a holistic, cross‑functional approach that focuses on quickly identifying high‑impact opportunities for EBITDA and cash‑flow improvements across the entire cost structure. A&M’s cost optimization focuses on driving significant improvements in cost structure by providing full transparency on cost and margin profiles to simplify and streamline the business and increase the efficiency of overhead costs.

• Interim Management:
  In select instances, one of HCS’s experienced operators may step into an interim role (i.e. CEO, COO, CFO, CIO) to drive change while a full‑time replacement is being recruited.
