Genus Plc Case Study

A world leader in applying science to animal breeding who improves efficiency through the application of natural genetic selection. Operating in 90 different countries, its published operating revenue (2008) was £247m and PBIT was £28m.

The organisation had no capacity in procurement to deliver what the FD and board understood was a critical process development and cost saving exercise.

The consultant held a briefing meeting with the client to understand their position and challenges in detail; through continued face to face networking the consultant was able to identify the right Interim Manager from his network, following more in depth conversations with the consultant and the client stakeholders the Interim Manager was engaged.

Subsequently under a broad brief to identify cost savings the detailed program was ultimately developed and driven by the Interim Manager in three stages.

Phase I:
- To develop a world wide procurement strategy for goods and services
- To lead the implementation of the strategy, starting in the UK

Phase II: Implement the strategy in the USA

Phase III: Implement the strategy in the rest of the world.
