How we Work
Collingwood Management Limited sells a range of portable management skills that are effective across virtually all business sectors.
Most clients engage Collingwood Management Limited in response to or anticipation of a period of significant change, for example:
- High growth
- Recent merger/acquisition
- Planned business sale
- Significant volume reduction or change in the product mix
The change the client is reacting to may be sudden, or may be steady and sustained; either way the firm is different and needs a managerial response.
Most Collingwood Management Limited turnarounds have three strands:
- Work out the minimum size at which a client firm is sustainable, and set the infrastructure and costs to operate profitably at that level
- Concentrate on doing what the client is best at doing
- Get paid for what the client does
Collingwood Management Limited is uniquely placed to carry out the above, having spent about 50% of their careers working in large corporations in an industrial consultancy capacity i.e. looking at systems, process and organisation structure across a wide range of commercial environments. Although Collingwood Management Limited staff has both finance and operations director experience, both principal and associate have considerable systems and process experience operating across all functions. The reforms Collingwood Management Limited introduce tend to cover:
- Organisation change with revised and more focussed responsibilities
- Process change and reform
- Measurement and KPIs
