This is demonstrated by the current \u201cSpring Barometer Restructuring and Transformation\u201d, for which around 800 top executives \u2013 including managing directors, executive and supervisory board members, and interim managers \u2013 from various industries were comprehensively surveyed. The key finding: it is not individual shocks but the accumulation of multiple risks that is increasingly pushing companies off balance \u2013 while at the same time revealing that in many places responses come too late and are too hesitant.<\/p><div class=\"zw-cgb unspecified\">\n    <div  class=\"zw-cgb  buttonBlock black-color default-margin \">\n      <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"col-12 g-0\">\n          <div class=\"zw-button-container center\"><div class=\"zw-cgb zw-cgb-button-container \"><a class=\"zw-cgb btn btn-primary \" href=\"https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Atreus_Survey_Restructuring-barometer_2026_EN.pdf\">Download PDF<\/a><\/div><\/div>        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<\/div>        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-zw-default-color\"><\/div>\n\n\n    <div  class=\"  zw-cgb  halb-halb-block boxed default-margin \">\n      <div class=\"row\">\n\n                  <div class=\"col-lg-6 col-12 image order-1  px-0\">\n            <span class=\"copyright-image\">\u00a9 Alex \u2013 stock.adobe.com<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"atreus_\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/content-2u3-sp-1-studie-restrukturierung-und-transformation-2021.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/content-2u3-sp-1-studie-restrukturierung-und-transformation-2021.jpg 823w, https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/content-2u3-sp-1-studie-restrukturierung-und-transformation-2021-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/content-2u3-sp-1-studie-restrukturierung-und-transformation-2021-480x361.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" style=\"aspect-ratio:823\/619 !important\" title=\"atreus_\">          <\/div>\n          <div class=\"half-content has-padding col-lg-6 col-12 order-2 primary white-color small-headline\"><div class=\"inner-content parent-has-padding\"><h2 class=\" zw-cgb headline\">Companies react too late \u2013 and lose valuable time.<\/h2><p class=\" zw-cgb fulltext \">A central problem lies less in recognizing the crisis and more in the speed of the response. Many companies do identify risks, but their management reacts too late or not decisively enough. An overwhelming majority of around 82 percent of study participants acknowledge this worrying development. Decision-making processes take too long, transformation initiatives are delayed. In international comparison, this lack of speed is increasingly becoming a locational disadvantage. While competitors respond more quickly to market changes, German companies lose valuable time \u2013 often with significant financial consequences.<\/p><div class=\"link-container\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>              <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\r\n    <div  class=\"zw-cgb  intern-zitat-style  zitat-block black-color default-margin default-padding \">\r\n      <div class=\"row zitat-row\">\r\n        <div class=\" image-container g-0 order-1  col-menu-5 col-12 \">\r\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/team\/dr-christian-frank\/\">          <div class=\"img-with-gradient\">\r\n\r\n            <span class=\"copyright-image\"><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"atreus_\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fra-ch-dr-v2.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fra-ch-dr-v2.png 555w, https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fra-ch-dr-v2-480x600.png 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" style=\"aspect-ratio:555\/694 !important\" title=\"atreus_\">            <div class=\"linear-gradient-container\"><\/div>\r\n          <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n          <div class=\"zitat-img-text-container\"><div class=\"zitat-name-container fulltext\"><span>Dr. Christian  Frank<\/span><\/div><div class=\"zitat-discription-container fulltext\"><span>Managing Director<\/span><\/div><\/div>          <\/a>        <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"g-0 zitat-text-container order-2 col-menu-7 col-12 \">\r\n          <div class=\"zitat-text\"><span class=\"zitat-start-icon atreus-font\">D<\/span><p class=\"zw-cgb fulltext\">\u201eWhat is crucial now is that companies no longer misinterpret the current negative developments as a temporary phase of weakness, but understand them as a clear mandate to act: what is needed is an unsparing analysis of their own business model, clear priorities, and the courage to make far-reaching cuts before their room for manoeuvre is completely exhausted.\u201c<\/p><\/div>                  <\/div>\r\n\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\n\n    <div  class=\"  zw-cgb  halb-halb-block boxed default-margin \">\n      <div class=\"row\">\n\n                  <div class=\"col-lg-6 col-12 image order-1 order-lg-2  px-0\">\n            <span class=\"copyright-image\">\u00a9 Alex \u2013 stock.adobe.com<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"atreus_\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/content-2u3-sp-2-studie-restrukturierung-und-transformation-2021.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/content-2u3-sp-2-studie-restrukturierung-und-transformation-2021.png 823w, https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/content-2u3-sp-2-studie-restrukturierung-und-transformation-2021-768x578.png 768w, https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/content-2u3-sp-2-studie-restrukturierung-und-transformation-2021-480x361.png 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" style=\"aspect-ratio:823\/619 !important\" title=\"atreus_\">          <\/div>\n          <div class=\"half-content has-padding col-lg-6 col-12 order-2 order-lg-1 blue-900 white-color small-headline\"><div class=\"inner-content parent-has-padding\"><h2 class=\" zw-cgb headline\">Strategic realignment: moving away from old dependencies<\/h2><p class=\" zw-cgb fulltext \">The survey also reveals a clear shift in the international focus of many companies. The US market is increasingly viewed critically, not least due to potential economic policy interventions and considerable uncertainties. In contrast, alternative markets are gaining in importance. Regions such as India (58 percent) or the Mercosur countries (43 percent) are increasingly being seen as growth areas. This development is not only a reaction to risks, but also an expression of the strategic realignment of global business models.<\/p><div class=\"link-container\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>              <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div  class=\"zw-cgb    infoblock default-margin black-color  \">\n      <div class=\" row\">\n        <div class=\"zw-cgb-content has-padding col-12\">\n          <div class=\"inner-content parent-has-padding\"><h2 class=\" zw-cgb headline\">Financing is becoming the bottleneck of transformation<\/h2><p class=\" zw-cgb fulltext \">With the growing number of restructuring cases, pressure on the financing side is also increasing. Banks are scrutinising much more closely whether companies have a realistic prospect of a successful turnaround. More than half of the study participants (54 percent) have already had this experience. This is leading to a noticeable selection effect: companies with a clear strategy and robust figures continue to have access to capital \u2013 all others quickly slide into a downward spiral. A lack of transparency and insufficient data quality further exacerbate this problem.<\/p><div class=\"link-container\"><\/div><\/div>        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\r\n    <div  class=\"zw-cgb  intern-zitat-style  zitat-block black-color default-margin default-padding \">\r\n      <div class=\"row zitat-row\">\r\n        <div class=\" image-container g-0 order-1 order-lg-2  col-menu-5 col-12 \">\r\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/team\/tibor-reischitz\/\">          <div class=\"img-with-gradient\">\r\n\r\n            <span class=\"copyright-image\"><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"atreus_\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/rei-ti-v1.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/rei-ti-v1.png 555w, https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/rei-ti-v1-480x600.png 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" style=\"aspect-ratio:555\/694 !important\" title=\"atreus_\">            <div class=\"linear-gradient-container\"><\/div>\r\n          <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n          <div class=\"zitat-img-text-container\"><div class=\"zitat-name-container fulltext\"><span>Tibor  Reischitz<\/span><\/div><div class=\"zitat-discription-container fulltext\"><span>Direktor\r\n<\/span><\/div><\/div>          <\/a>        <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"g-0 zitat-text-container order-2 order-lg-1 col-menu-7 col-12 \">\r\n          <div class=\"zitat-text\"><span class=\"zitat-start-icon atreus-font\">D<\/span><p class=\"zw-cgb fulltext\">\u201eIn restructuring situations, credibility is more decisive today than ever. Those who cannot present reliable data, a clear strategy and a convincing implementation model will find it increasingly difficult to win financing partners. Companies should therefore ensure maximum transparency at an early stage, significantly enhance their steering capability through robust data, and proactively engage in dialogue with capital providers. Only those who can deliver a realistic, operationally underpinned turnaround story will be able to assert themselves in this more selective financing environment.\u201c<\/p><\/div>                  <\/div>\r\n\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\n\n\n\n    <div  class=\"zw-cgb    infoblock default-margin black-color  \">\n      <div class=\" row\">\n        <div class=\"zw-cgb-content has-padding col-12\">\n          <div class=\"inner-content parent-has-padding\"><h2 class=\" zw-cgb headline\">Digitalization remains piecemeal \u2013 AI is hardly used.<\/h2><p class=\" zw-cgb fulltext \">Despite all the challenges, one crucial lever often remains unused: consistent digitalization. In many companies it is acknowledged as important, but not driven forward with the necessary priority. As a result, it frequently does not receive sufficient focus (56 percent) and is sometimes simply treated as secondary because other issues are prioritised.<\/p><div class=\"link-container\"><\/div><\/div>        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div  class=\"zw-cgb    infoblock default-margin black-color  \">\n      <div class=\" row\">\n        <div class=\"zw-cgb-content has-padding col-12\">\n          <div class=\"inner-content parent-has-padding\"><h2 class=\" zw-cgb headline\">What matters now is clarity, speed, and execution strength.<\/h2><p class=\" zw-cgb fulltext \">The results of the Spring Barometer make one thing clear: companies face the task of fundamentally improving their ability to act. It is no longer enough to hope for better framework conditions. What is needed instead are consistent and early interventions before crises escalate, as well as accelerated decision-making processes and clear accountabilities. In addition, companies must build or acquire restructuring expertise and pursue strategic diversification into new markets and business models. Going forward, a radical improvement of the data foundation as the basis for steering and financing will be just as essential as embedding digitalization and AI as central elements of transformation.<\/p><div class=\"link-container\"><\/div><\/div>        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n    <div  class=\"zw-cgb  buttonBlock black-color default-margin \">\n      <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"col-12 g-0\">\n          <div class=\"zw-button-container \"><div class=\"zw-cgb zw-cgb-button-container \"><a class=\"zw-cgb btn btn-primary \" href=\"https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Atreus_Survey_Restructuring-barometer_2026_EN.pdf\">Read study<\/a><\/div><\/div>        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n    <div  class=\"zw-cgb  change-padding  infoblock default-margin black-color  \">\n      <div class=\" row\">\n        <div class=\"zw-cgb-content has-padding col-12\">\n          <div class=\"preheadline-container parent-has-padding\"><p class=\" zw-cgb preheadline ' .  .
