client stories - growth strategies

• multinational Public Company
• highly diversified
• 12,500 personnel

• The business had grown very quickly and successfully over a 5 year period but without strategic or operational oversight to control a large and diverse group of companies efficiently for fast and effective decision making
• The business needed further financing for development and international projects
• The separate businesses did not have line of sight to gain efficiencies from their scale

• Conducted a complete organisational review that identified the need for a new board structure and governance to ensure strategic and operational oversight
• Reviewed and restructured debt and operational expenses, generating significant cost saving opportunities in cash management, labour costs, and operations
• Review of talent and performance indicated the need for increased experience and skills at senior levels across the organisation

Taking a hands on approach we were able to work at pace delivering outcomes of reduced debt and expenses, a 2,500 reduction in the work force, reducing labor costs by 25%, whilst opening a further 120 outlets, within six months.
