Results:
- Designed and implemented a cost reduction programme for a ~€5 billion chemicals company, based on improving sales and marketing effectiveness. Resulted in record annual profits, with about €170 million in cost savings and a 6 percentage point improvement in ROCE.
- Helped a global energy company simplify its operations, organizational structure and key processes. Created an approximate 30 per cent reduction in overhead costs and, through a series of cost and revenue improvement initiatives, about a 20 per cent improvement in overall profitability.
- Helped transform the cost base of one of the world’s largest consumer goods companies, allowing greater investment in key areas of growth. The company adopted a low-cost operating model, redefined its organisation and changed the way it considered resource allocation. The project resulted in €550 million worth of savings.
