Global Fast fashion Retailer This was a multi brand global fast fashion retailer whose name I have kept anonymous for reasons which will become clear and with a turnover of over $US10 billion operating over 2300 outlets. Not everything went perfect on this project and I have included it as a lesson to anyone considering getting involved in a large transformation Brief The finance team although technically excellent lacked an ability to see beyond the numbers and give good commercial insight to the management team. This had led to various supply chain issues, overstocking with stock days being 6 months + in some areas. My objective was to help develop more commercial acumen within the senior finance team and ensure that the business was prepared for a world which was to be increasingly dominated by clicks rather than bricks. Outcome Following extensive research with the leading management consulting team on the retail sector and feedback on research from an extensive inhouse survey of broader business stakeholders within the group we developed a program for over 120 of the senior finance team. Although there was lots of positive buy in from the senior managers, the executive team were culturally still much more focused on technical excellence over the softer skills needed for commercial acumen to really improve. This was despite having a full time client liaison manager working with the client and agreeing and signing up to everything we delivered. I think the key lesson form this one is that before deciding to undertake such a transformation executive level buy in must be 100% https://www.wiseupnow.co.uk/our-services-3 daily 0.75 2020-01-20 https://www.wiseupnow.co.uk/about-us daily 0.75 2020-02-17 https://www.wiseupnow.co.uk/acca daily 0.75 2020-01-21 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e25e5effb3e614a4429e688/t/5e26caaa6570d5475429d5e3/1562689732968/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg ACCA (link to prof education) - ACCA Brief As a result of a growing demand for the ACCA qualification to provide businesses with accountants who had more than just technical skills and be able to have broader business understanding a new syllabus was written which involved a radical new case study which was very different in style to anything that had gone before. As a result it had the potential to be something challenging to teach and I was tasked with developing a train the trainer programme for tuition providers around the world Outcome After consultation with the ACCA technical experts and the examining team and quite a few iterations later, we had a product which was then rolled out in over 20 countries. Following its success and demand for more we then developed a more advanced version and rolled that out in a similar way. The results of the first few exams showed that we had indeed managed to convince people that a chalk and talk approach was no longer relevant and out more interactive approach had been adopted. The main benefit of all of this is that the The process involved many iterations https://www.wiseupnow.co.uk/pwc-global-net-business-partnering daily 0.75 2020-01-21 https://www.wiseupnow.co.uk/home daily 1.0 2020-08-20 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e25e5effb3e614a4429e688/t/5e4aaef78639f008054ff8c9/1581952798986/Amanda-Line+official+pic.jpg Home - “Sean is a very talented facilitator and has delivered excellent training on business partnering to both PwC senior management teams and our clients.
