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

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

when it was facing an aggressive challenge from an overseas
competitor. We advised on the strategies available to respond to the
challenge

of the chosen strategy.

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.

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.
