Projects Examples• Conducted a strategy day at a Design interior company to formalise
the common goals and objectives for the year and then helped the company to implement a performance leadership programme to cascade the goals by department and individuals and a process to monitoring progress. As a result the company multiplied their turn over by 2 in 1 year.
• Helped The Managing Director and the management team of a software company to identify starting points, set targets, monitor performance, deal with staff members (both positive and disciplinary matters) and effectively streamline the business. “I cannot emphasise enough that JB is not a ‘trouble-shooter’. JB did not come into Voyager Software as a consultant and tackle our issues for us. He ensured that I understood what I should be focussed on and why. Then he made sure the issues were addressed effectively – by me. During 2004, Voyager’s costs actually decreased whilst the business grew and our profit for 2004 was up nearly 3 times that of the previous year”.
• Championed a cost-reduction programme which delivered US$4million – included the rationalisation of all regional facilities from 18 to 11 and a reduction of 50 heads.
• Developed and implemented a customer care and image management programme for 750 manual workers within a major utility.
• Combined ‘Lean’ and ‘Value stream’ management techniques to change £50million loss into profit situation within 12 months.
