Success Story: Strategic Alignment
Invensys Ltd. (now Schneider Electric) is a multinational engineering and information technology company headquartered in London. It was formed in 1999 through a complex merger and needed to bring together its global leadership team to unify around the new business strategy. Kensington used it large scale alignment process to orchestrate an off-site meeting for 300 leaders to deploy the CEO’s new global business strategy and accelerate the alignment of a newly merged group of businesses.

” Kensington enabled us to win support of leaders throughout our organization, and the understanding, enthusiasm, and unified efforts of our leadership team have proven essential. Challenged us to think and plan with a disciplined focus on strategic results, and the most promising strategies to achieve them.” VP Organization Development, Invensys Ltd.

Success Story: Rapid Results
T. Rowe Price engaged Kensington to assist in the execution of a major reengineering initiative that had stalled and not yielded tangible results despite a large investment in time and money over several years. Kensington’s structured model led to implementation of “back office” process improvements that achieved the goal of $2 million annual savings.

TRP then called on Kensington to help move from a decentralized to a shared service model for communicating with clients across the firm. We facilitated creation of a shared service organization that became the foundation for the firm-wide customer interaction

“Driving change is difficult in most organizations. Kensington provides a set of tools and helps instill the discipline needed to stay on track with the change process.   They challenge, probe, and redirect to help keep the organization focused, and that has added tremendous value to us.  Best of all, their approach is to teach and institutionalize new learnings and process, so that we will not always be reliant on others for managing future change.” Vice President, T. Rowe Price Associates

Success Story: Merger Integration
A merger created a publically traded $4 Billion hospitality company affiliated with the French company Sodexho. Kensington supported the post merger integration efforts in strategy development, rapid results projects to speed key priorities while showing measurable results along with large group alignment processes to unify the combined management team to provide needed direction to more than 100,000 employees while maintaining focus on achieving promised improvements in business results across market segments.

“Kensington Consulting Group is not just another consultant wanting to use your watch to tell you the time. Rick and his team are focused on helping you create short term actions which will achieve your long term objectives. Their Results Driven Management approach helped me in strengthening accountability and improving results in our company. I have been very satisfied with the way we moved a single digit growth company into the double digits for the first time in years thanks to their help. I highly recommend the Kensington Consulting Group.”
