Case Study

Pirelli Cable, an international manufacturer of fibre optic cable used by major telecommunications companies such as AT&T and Rogers, was facing rapid growth and changing business practices. As well, one of their key manufacturing facilities needed to chart a new direction for their operations. I worked with the management team to clarify strategic direction, identify key initiatives and create an implementation plan. Leadership team development was an integral component of the initiative. Results included improved operational efficiency and higher employee engagement.
