All the business benefits identified at the outset were achieved. I would strongly recommend KBC Ltd to any organisation considering large-scale change or transition strategies and who were looking to deliver results which had a tangible financial benefit.

Zodiac Training

Working closely with directors and management board, it became apparent at the outset that Karen was passionate, professional and fully committed towards the project. Early indications were most positive as Karen set out to implement a 100 day sustainable growth programme. Karen worked in close collaboration with the directors throughout, leading and driving the project to ensure agreed deadlines were achieved to meet business needs. As a result, we now have a fit for purpose organisation, focused on performance and efficiency, structured to support continued business growth and diversification.
