Successful Turnarounds? Any examples of successful service-based business model turnarounds?

Anyone know any good examples of service-based turnarounds? I've spent time looking at turnarounds in the MSP and BPO space but can't find any solid precedent for turnarounds that worked. All you seem to find is gravestones or companies in the ICU ie. DXC Technologies (IT Services/MSP), Conduent (BPO), IBM etc...

Any turnaround professionals have anything to add here? I know product-based businesses are easier to turnaround for a litany of reasons, none the less, there should be a few examples to point to right?
