CASE STUDIES

Client assessed the impact of Web3 tech advancement including blockchain, AI and automation in their end-to-end supply chain. Through online workshops with senior management, we discovered the processes that contribute to the current supply chain, mapped the end-to-end supply chain and agreed the areas where Web3 tech could save cost, time and gain customer loyalty. The to-be process reduces lag times, improves product quality and clarifies roles and responsibilities for a small team who delivers within strict regulatory standards for a rapidly growing market.

Client had an urgent need to redress key performance indicators (KPIs) to use in customised dashboards to track and measure customer behaviour. A short series of online workshops with senior management discovered the ideal customer journey, the data points and how to automate data flow into the customised dashboard. Realtime data and dashboard has improved platform management and customer service significantly.

Client experienced inefficiencies in internal processes that became more pronounced as it was scaling up. We remotely engaged with internal project management teams and set-up a Project Management Office, establishing structures and templates with which to standardise the onboarding of a range of diverse, high impact new projects. Client improved its ability to onboard new clients, new projects and apply standardised project planning, integration, implementation and reporting.

Client strategy included data privacy as a priority to de-risk potential breaches. In a range of online workshops with senior management the risk profile was rated 70%, the risk areas were identified, the highest risk processes mapped and action plans to reduce the risk in each process, were identified and implemented in 90 days. The work was done alongside implementation of Data Privacy Management Software and intensive training on managing data security and privacy was provided in a follow-up project. The risk has reduced to the level required by the client’s strategy and KPI.

A 3-month pilot was launched at a principal site, with software installation occurring simultaneously with the mapping of best practice processes supported by the software, shop staff, and forecourt staff. The process maps served both as training material and as a tool to track rollout results. The alignment of software and processes, along with training and change management, enabled optimal process outcomes. After successful integration, a national rollout was concluded, applying the pilot blueprint. Processes were updated based on lessons learned, including enhancements to training and change management.

A systems upgrade initiative was launched to align platforms, strengthen governance, and enhance performance management across regions. The objective was to decommission legacy systems, integrate historical data into the new platform, and support a seamless cut-over. A multinational client partnered with a dedicated project manager to lead the year-long initiative, supported by a global team of approximately 30 professionals tasked with planning, scoping, and executing the decommissioning, data transfer, and go-live activities. The project went live on schedule, with minimal post-implementation issues. Risks were effectively mitigated, costs remained within tolerance, and the project was formally closed within 60 days of go-live.

To support compliance and risk management objectives, a global AML software provider partnered with our team to integrate their solution into client operations across Africa. With over 35 client sites, the provider manages sales and installations, while our team delivers ongoing user training, embeds the software into day-to-day work processes, and provides risk management and user support. The engagement is structured as an annual, recurring service staffed by three specialists at an average of 50% capacity. As a result, the software is effectively adopted as a core component of clients’ compliance management frameworks, leading to consistent license renewals and measurable risk mitigation across operations.

To support the client’s strategic goals of scaling capacity and capability, driving revenue growth, and strengthening risk management, a structured process improvement initiative was implemented. For the first six months, six key value streams were mapped to define best-practice to-be processes, supported by actionable change lists generated during collaborative workshops. The following three months focused on training internal staff to conduct process mapping, execute change actions, and embed improvements through the EOS framework. The renewable energy company benefited from a total of nine months of support at 12 hours per week, followed by a year of ongoing Process Management Office support at 5–6 hours per month. The results included a 30% reduction in operational risks, monthly cost savings of up to 12%, clearly defined roles and responsibilities, and accelerated onboarding of new team members.
