Testimonials

'' His performance was exceptional. Without him I would have been lost.  Global Opex was arguably the toughest project ever undertaken in our business.  Very successful Executive Leadership sessions were followed by the setup of successful network of "implementation leads"  Ways of working and  policy review were complex and time consuming early in the project. Materials were downsized and simplified and IL's engaged, with great results. Overall a great performance: beat the targets and rolled out much improved ways of working'' 

''Outstanding. Dean delivered thanks to focus, enterprise thinking, perseverance and a lot of leadership.

''A few areas that I would like to highlight cover delivery on achievements, most importantly is how Dean went about achieving results. I believe the how is as important reason for why the procurement function was successful.His focus on people engagement, organization design, talent acquisition and commitment to delivery were keys to the organization’s success. He built a strong leadership team while delivering on process improvements, extensive recruiting, focusing on people development (use of the IDP), leadership engagement, addressing controls and compliance, building organizational capabilities (GCLs) while guiding the team to exceed their delivery of his first year’s savings goals by 60+%. Dean led his team by example, coached people on modern procurement approaches and through engagement across the business (operations, finance, legal, compliance, etc) showed how we can work together to increase the potential value that can be created through a strong procurement organization''

''Dean brought great structure, drive and passion to bring the Supply Chain transformation forward. Moreover, he led the Global Supply Chain Leadership team through their first Strategic Workforce Planning exercise with the outcome of an excellent capability analysis for the future organisation. Dean possesses excellent specialist knowledge and extensive professional experience in his area. He applied his expertise extremely effectively even when faced with highly challenging tasks. In the process, Dean worked according to his own, carefully thought-out planning. His outstanding grasp of new concepts enabled him to rapidly acquaint himself with new subjects and issues, under- stand new content and correlations and integrate these effectively and flexibly into his work. We were at all times extremely satisfied with the outstanding quality of Dean's work.
