Sometimes We Have to Throw a Hand Grenade into the Kitchen!

Debt workouts are very tricky. They are an uphill battle on a very steep and slippery slope. A successful workout requires gaining the attention of the players involved, bank and clients, as well as other creditors and participants, whoever they may be.

At times we must move people into decision-making mode or they will forever do nothing about their situation. Occasionally, we must force people into action. When this situation occurs, we can never be certain as to exactly what people will do, what decisions they will make, what the outcome will be... but we do know that whatever the results are, we will be prepared to channel them into the conclusion we want. Opportunities open up, people commit themselves and we respond knowing exactly what to do the moment we see the opening. We call this "throwing a hand grenade into the kitchen".

Bold, daring, aggressive and creative methods, yes, but built on confidence, experience and skill.

There are only so many responses that can occur, thus we are usually fully prepared for any that we get. We are experienced, so we are very good at predicting the likely outcome. Sometimes, however, we need to flush someone out and get them to commit and this is one way we do it. A "controlled train wreck" we call it. While daring, it works for us when we need it.

Debt workouts are part science, part art form. This is where it comes together, and this is what it takes to do a workout: science and art. Taking risks, but with skill and confidence. What a combination. Does it always work? Yes, of course. While we may not know in advance exactly what will happen, we do know what is likely to happen and are prepared for whatever fallout occurs.

Are we ever totally surprised? Very seldom. But, should it happen, it's no problem as we have written the script and even if a player malfunctions on us, the strategy supports success no matter what. There is little risk in blowing up the kitchen and whatever happens accelerates a conclusion. This is part of the art form of engineering a successful workout.

Because we usually know what will happen in advance, any twists and turns are recognizable and acceptable. They're only road bumps in our path, never road blocks.
