Optimizing working capital to strengthen cash positions

Hey Goldilocks, here’s how to get it “just right.”

In an era of economic uncertainty, maintaining a balanced approach to working capital can make a huge difference for an organization. For those tasked with managing it, the Goldilocks principle may feel like a daily reality. If a company has too much of working capital, cash may not be properly deployed to grow the business. If it has too little, creditors may question whether the company can meet its obligations.

That’s why determining optimal levels of working capital—or getting it “just right”—deserves the same level of executive focus and rigor as sales and revenue.

But how?

Optimizing working capital is not a one-time event, but an ongoing program to maximize the availability of capital and shield your organization against economic volatility. Our latest report details how it can be achieved proactively by establishing processes that promote transparency, accountability, and data-driven insights, ultimately driving actions that produce results.
