| Bridging the gap
In the current market environment, enterprises must
continually transform to retain competitive advantage,
grow and survive. Whilst the need for enterprise change
is a reality, many companies are unable to bridge the
gap between their transformation aspirations and performance
results.
This journey can prove even more difficult when Boards
are managing companies across the Atlantic, undertaking
complex, high reward programmes such as international
expansion or the global rollout of change initiatives.
Companies underestimate the associated high risks caused
by geographical distance, different time zones, local
legislative and policy constraints and cultural differences
between employees, clients and suppliers, ultimately
leading to, at best, mediocre results, at worst catastrophic
results. At CMBT we have an exemplary track record of
overcoming the above barriers and supporting US companies
to exceed their UK and European aspirations.
Identifying, creating and implementing change
CMBT is a provider of interim change executives and
teams to the private and public sectors. We work with
our clients to identify the need for change, create
and shape solutions and then lead the implementation
of transition programmes. We can support the following
business transformations:
• Strategic shifts
• Business process reengineering
• Restructuring
• Outsourcing
• Cultural transformation
CMBT is owned and operated by a dynamic group of experienced
individuals, each of whom has held board, senior managerial
and interim change leadership appointments in major
international businesses and public sector organisations.
We have available a pool of over 40 highly talented
executives whose experience embraces human resources,
finance, operations, marketing and sales, gained in
information technology, engineering, manufacturing,
business process outsourcing, aerospace and automotive
industries, and other government and public sector bodies.
Our executives work as an extension of the client organisation
offering:
• Specialist change resources who can replace
or supplement in-house management as and when required
• Hands-on executives who will be accountable
to the client and assume project responsibility
• Dedicated interim professionals who can mentor
and impart new expertise, knowledge and experience
• Independent executives who are not constrained
by the organisation culture and norms
• Practical and innovative solutions based upon
experience and customised in-house methodologies which
embed change within the enterprise and drive performance
targets.
Delivering results
Our close working relationship has delivered success
for some of the largest US companies expanding their
UK base. When one of the world’s leading defence
companies required to expand UK operations and bid for
a key public sector contract, they came to CMBT for
help to support their expansion plans. Our client was
a market leader in technology solutions but needed to
offer an integrated business process change programme
to successfully win a bid to integrate a new communications
system. The key requirement was a senior IT Business
Process consultant with an in-depth knowledge of the
culture and bid process of the public sector.
CMBT appointed our CEO, Wendy Boast to mentor the UK
senior management through the bid process. Wendy provided
hands on bid support, creating and shaping the business
process transformation solution, as well as introducing
potential partners and suppliers. After an exciting
five-year deal was won, Wendy provided operational support,
shaping the delivery strategy and introducing a team
of CMBT interim executives to implement the business
change requirements.
Our executives’ ability to speak the end-users
language has proved invaluable, helping our client to
negotiate political hurdles and drive forward performance
targets.
CMBT is also currently supporting a major US aerospace
supplier’s transformation programme. Our senior
aerospace executive has advised and assisted with the
implementation of the corporation’s entry into
the European market. The client has greatly benefited
from an impartial and independent assessment of the
business change required to refine the business model
and achieve performance targets. As a result, the client
has successfully set-up European sales operations and
is now considering opportunities for growth by acquisition.
