Case Studies from this Sector: Joint Venture/Outsourcing for a DIY Retailer Worked with the senior management team of a large DIY retailer to resolve installation problems.  Installation (of bathrooms, kitchens, conservatories etc.) was a major growth area but was generating unacceptable remedy and warranty claims.  Worked with the management team to negotiate a joint venture with a partner specialising in installation management, generating savings in excess of £15m and eliminating significant capacity barriers. Performance Improvement for a Jewellery Retailer Worked with the senior management team of the largest global jewellery retailer to identify major service improvement and cost reduction opportunities in HR and payroll, identifying direct savings of between 20% and 33%. Strategy for a Catalogue Retailer Worked with the MD and IT Director of a catalogue sales company to review the impact of a move to a more direct sales and distribution model on the portfolio of existing applications, and identify the likely cost of migrating to a new applications architecture.  The IT costs identified facilitated the decision to divest the company, rather than invest in the required systems changes. IT Strategy in Retail Worked with the senior management team of a global luxury clothing designer, manufacturer and retailer to develop the global IT strategy, governance and systems routemap in support of a major global expansion.
