Commercial & Manufacturing

Helping leaders organise for success

Our private sector commercial and industrial work covers an extensive range of businesses from FMCG and large pharmaceuticals, through advanced and specialist engineering, to financial services and professional services bodies.

Every bit as varied as the businesses we work with in this sector is the work we do for them. While organisation design has often been the foundation of our work, we have now developed into working within many of our other service areas in this sector.

The Challenges

Businesses of all sizes and in all sectors constantly face ongoing and new micro and macro challenges.

Businesses and the markets in which they are operate are often complex and constantly changing, requiring them to be adaptable and flexible. However, companies often lack the capability and capacity to deliver organisation design and development work.

Our recent commercial and manufacturing clients have cited a variety of specific challenges which required our help, including:

Uncertainty due to Brexit

Increased competition

Pressures to be innovative and invest in R&D

Regulatory changes

Recruitment, retention and talent management

Adapting to a post-pandemic environment

Rising costs of labour and materials

Environmental and sustainability targets

Expectations of workforce for hybrid working

Our Approach

As a whole-systems consultancy, our team of highly skilled consultants have the full toolkit to really understand the complex challenges and the support required for our clients to improve systems, strategy and culture in the workplace.

We co-create all of our work with our clients so that it is tailored to individual needs and simplify processes, that can be easily implemented to achieve sustainable outcomes.

Regardless of the challenges faced, we help our clients make sense of complex environments and focus on how to configure their business or organisation for lasting success.

We have developed a simple, practical, and powerful approach to systematically designing healthy, high performing organisations, whilst simultaneously engaging stakeholders in owning the change – thereby enabling necessary new behaviours and ways of working to emerge.

Whatever your size or scale we help you to navigate the complexities and ambiguities of your market by keeping your leaders anchored to your WHY? – your purpose for existing in the first place, your brand and your vision for the future.

AI-Enhanced Organisation Design of UK Supply Chain Case Study

Boehringer Ingelheim UK faced a pivotal moment with its emerging product pipeline and the strategic “Pathway to 2035”. The existing supply chain model, needed to evolve into a more agile, customer centrict structure that empowers Supply Chain colleagues, and which supports both human and animal health markets. This transformation required not just structural adjustments but a fundamental shift towards deeper customer intimacy, faster market responsiveness, and being prepared for the integration of advanced technologies such as AI. The challenge was to design a UK Supply Chain organisation that could deliver these ambitions while maintaining operational excellence.
