Rethinking Capital Allocation for the New Normal:

Re-allocation and Rightsizing towards New Growth and Value Creation

Systematic capital allocation is a distinguishing factor for successful and outperforming companies in the long term. The current economic crisis, triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, has highlighted the need to re-allocate capital to those business models flourishing in a new normal and to resize the relevant resources and costs accordingly.

With a systematic approach to capital re-allocation in hand, companies are able to recover from crises faster and much stronger than their peers.
