Key Client Wins
Here are just a few of the successful projects led by Gr8 Road Partners (GRP) over the past decade:
Organizational Excellence
Working with a heavy electronic component supplier with global operations and a billion dollar plus annual turnover, GRP led a comprehensive project to streamline and realign business planning product development and marketing teams globally. This developed a lean and fast capability for the company across operating divisions and across multiple functions within the organization that drove improved communications, higher definition and clarity around roles and responsibilities, provided significant cost savings by reducing unnecessary meetings and increasing the velocity of key decisions by the executive committee, and fine-tuned the forward product plan to effectively allocate management resources and be more competitive.
Branding & Marketing Excellence
Working as an extension of the executive committee of a small consumer products company with less than $5M annual turnover, GRP has been instrumental in driving a structured analytics-based assessment of market opportunity and the product portfolio. This has led to profitable product expansion, strong brand projection into the marketplace and successful growth against many large and more powerful brands in the market.
Product and Technology Excellence
Working with an international company that had more than a $40M annual turnover outside the US, GRP collaborated with the local teams in multiple countries to assess the market opportunity in the US market. GRP conducted multiple market studies for the company, fine-tuned the product/service for US clients and executed a US pilot program that engaged more than 20 US companies as trial customers for the international company’s products/services.
Strategic Business Development Excellence
Working with a multi-company conglomerate that provides products and services to thousands of companies across the US, GRP leveraged its experience and network connections in formulating specific strategies for packaging and presenting products/services to targeted large corporations. This effort yielded major, ongoing contracts for the conglomerate with a Fortune 50 company.
Partnership and Collaboration Excellence
Working with a start-up company in the digital retailing arena, GRP helped to build a product and brand strategy that put the company on the map in their industry by gaining partnership with one of the world’s largest retailers. This achievment generated positive national press, attracted significant incremental growth capital to the company and provided the foundation for the company to now be a best-in-world solution in their industry – winning large multi-million-dollar contracts that were only dreamed of just five years ago.
Professionalism Excellence
Working with a key executive within a billion dollar plus turnover company, GRP provided one-on-one executive coaching for the executive’s personal and professional growth, and to position her as a key asset within her company. As a direct result of this coaching and GRP partnership in her career, this executive went on to lead a transition team as her company was being acquired by a very large European-based manufacturing company. As a result, this executive is the only member of her former company’s executive team that survived the acquisition and who is now a global Vice President for the acquiring company.
