We
have occasionally carried out projects outwith the life science sector as
the result of personal requests. These have often arisen from senior
individuals who have been taught by Alan Williams in one of the
MBA programmes
in which he has lectured for many years.
Examples of Projects
We helped a strategic consultancy with
a major internal interview programme in an internationally known news
service company to create the framework for a change management process.
Assisted the young founders of a
software company in their negotiations to be acquired by a NASDAQ listed
company; by the end of the negotiation the final deal was twice as
valuable as the initial offer.
Created and delivered a management development programme for the senior managers of a regional brewing and pub management company.
Developed and delivered a Team Development programme for the senior
management group of a key directorate of a major UK utility company. This
programme was so successful that it was cascaded down to the next tier of
management.

We

potential long-term strategic investors, advising on the merits of a

Played a significant part in the rapid recruitment of an extremely large

its industry.
