In these challenging times, many companies, in order to achieve their full potential, are increasingly required to undertake programs to ensure they are continually improving their organisational performance, their operational performance and their financial performance. The pressure to continually improve places enormous pressure on leadership at the very time they need to devote time to leading the strategic direction of their organisation. There are also cultural challenges as divisions within global companies or stand-alone European companies seek to implement performance improvement programs.
Our ERS performance improvement capability uses tried and trusted methods and techniques in order to measure performance and to recommend suitable approaches. We take into account the market sector, the country focus and the culture specific to those companies wishing to embark on performance improvement. Our highly experienced sector and country senior executives are able to support the most practical and effective performance improvement programs, working with management to deliver success.
