INSIGHTS

Thinking that drives results.

Selected case studies and perspectives from our work with founders and leadership teams across Ireland and the UK.

CASE STUDIES

Operational Improvement

Manufacturing

Cutting production downtime by 34% in a mid-sized manufacturer

A family-owned manufacturing business in the Midlands was losing significant output to unplanned stoppages. We mapped every failure point across the production line, redesigned the maintenance schedule, and introduced a simple daily review process. Within six months, unplanned downtime had fallen by 34% and the team had the tools to sustain it independently.

OUTCOME

34% reduction in unplanned downtime

Cost Reduction

Professional Services

€1.2M in annualised savings for a professional services firm

A 120-person professional services firm had grown quickly and its cost base had grown faster. We conducted a full cost diagnostic — procurement, headcount allocation, property, and technology — and identified €1.2M in annualised savings without cutting a single client-facing role. Implementation took four months.

OUTCOME

€1.2M annualised savings identified

Change Management

Retail

Leading a post-merger integration across two competing cultures

Following an acquisition, two businesses with very different operating cultures needed to become one. We designed and led the integration programme — aligning leadership, rationalising processes, and building a shared operating model. Twelve months later, staff turnover had fallen and combined revenue was ahead of the pre-merger forecast.

OUTCOME

Integration completed 2 months ahead of schedule

PERSPECTIVES

Strategy

Why most strategy work fails before it starts

The problem with most strategic planning processes is that they confuse activity with progress. A well-facilitated offsite, a polished deck, and a set of ambitious targets are not a strategy. They are the preconditions for one. Real strategy requires honest diagnosis, difficult choices, and the discipline to say no to things that feel important but aren't.

Operations

The hidden cost of complexity in growing businesses

As businesses grow, they accumulate complexity — in their processes, their product ranges, their organisational structures. This complexity is rarely designed; it accretes. And it is expensive. Not just in direct costs, but in the management attention it consumes and the speed it destroys. Simplification is one of the highest-return investments a growing business can make.
