In the current economic climate, companies are finding it so important to become efficient and control their need for cash. Whether seeking to improve business processes or better align their systems to suit staff working needs, the client is hoping to achieve an improved situation as a result. This is true within both Gradient and TwentyFour ecosystems. Whether business processes or the infrastructure to support those processes, Clients need professionalism, knowledge and confidence. Cybersecurity has become a major issue in all businesses, especially those seeking to digitise their shop floors and utilise IoT. Of course, the quality of delivery resolves around the quality of our staff in both businesses. I am privileged to have great people around me.Having said that, it is a pleasure to be able to work with a client as part of a team to help effect transformation, utilise an ERP implementation as a catalyst for change or effect cost reduction through optimising IT services. We have worked with dozens of clients from £5m turnover family owned businesses to over £400m multi site, multi country operations. Each have their challenges but each are looking to be more efficient and effective in delivering (in turn) to their customer.As a result of working in such diverse areas (but manufacturing most of all) I learn from each and every project. I would like to think the result is an increasingly experienced consultant and Director/Manager; my style is to try to motivate individuals or teams to achieve their full potential. I would like to think I am analytical, decisive and receptive to change. Continually seeking improvements to deliver success to our clients, measured by improving processes and profitability.Personal specialties are understanding how the internals of a business are working, both as stated and the informal realities, which are often very different from each other!
