Projects: Industry

Challenging five-year plan for a major company

  • In conjunction with management, we developed a challenging five year strategic plan for a major group. We undertook an operational review of marketing, sales and distribution operations in Ireland and produced detailed recommendations on the product range, distribution approach, organisation and staffing.

Organisation change at large company

  • For a large Irish company we undertook a detailed study of organisation, management process and communications. We analysed the company’s strategies, capabilities and organisation. We prepared detailed recommendations on organisational development, management processes, and internal and external communications We reviewed the company’s human resource strategies and policies and undertook an industry-wide survey of remuneration practice and policy.

Group management structures for international business

  • For this international Group which operates in Ireland, the UK, and a number of other countries we reviewed the organisation and resources of Group management. We developed proposals for resourcing and restructuring the Group management, and we assisted in the implementation of those proposals.

Strategy and structure for expanding company

  • We were asked to review the organisation and management processes in this group of companies, with particular reference to the integration of a recent acquisition on mainland Europe. We undertook a detailed study of the strategies and operations of the group and we developed recommendations in relation to its strategic and operational structure.
Strategy in a time of crisis
  • This niche Irish software company faced a critical point in its development, when it was facing an aggressive challenge from an overseas competitor. We advised on the strategies available to respond to the challenge and we assisted the company on the practical implementation of the chosen strategy.

B2B ecommerce solution for European supply chain

  • This multinational specialises in providing seamless B2B procurement and fulfilment services in a vertical industry sector in Europe and the US. We undertook a nine-country study of VAT and contract law barriers to implementing an electronic supply chain throughout the EU. We recommended a transition strategy which would match the strategies and timetables of the major countries.

Reengineering processes for efficiency and transparency

  • This large Irish company was in the process of transforming its structure to meet changed requirements. We under took a series of process re-engineering assignments to facilitate the operation of a shared services environment, to realise the benefits of an ERP implementation and to achieve international best practice standards of efficiency and service.

Implementing a shared services centre

  • We prepared a detailed plan for the implementation of a shared services centre for a major manufacturer and distributor. Subsequently we assisted in the establishment of a process re-engineering team. We provided advice on the preparation of the project charter and the project plan, and we provided direct training and mentoring to the team.
