The Best Policy!

Garnett — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 12:35:35 +0000

GMR Consulting has been engaged by a leading IT organisation to conduct a full review of its IT policies and procedures. This is vital to ensure regulatory compliance, and to protect the data and physical assets of the company. This assignment will entail updating existing policies and developing new ones to cover areas such as Social Media and the use of Smartphones. All organisations are encouraged to assign the correct priority to their IT Policies and recognise that they form part of good governance.

Going for Gold

The Olympics may be over, but the search for the gold standard goes on! GMR Consulting has been engaged by a leading utilities organisation to assist with developing its sales teams, and creating a strategy to remain proactively competitive.

Training is still vital!

In the current difficult trading conditions, some companies understandably cut back on expenditure. However, the forward thinking organisations realise that this is in fact the time when they need to ensure that their sales teams have the right skills and competencies, and are working as efficiently and smartly as possible. In partnership with another leading local consulting company, GMR has delivered a series of workshops themed on “Sales Professionalism” to a major, all Ireland, telcommunications company. Results so far have been excellent, and management intend to roll out the programme further across the company.

Once again, we are getting interest in the area of Business Continuity with two significant manufacturing companies engaging GMR Consulting to develop Business Continuity Plans.

Data Protection Compliance

Garnett — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 22:11:38 +0000

GMR Consulting has developed a half day “Introduction to Data Protection” workshop, aimed at giving attendees an understanding of the Data Protection Act, its Eight Principles and what they mean to them and their organisation. Several local organisations have now completed the workshop and feedback has been very positive. If you have not provided any Data Protection training for your staff, and would like to book dates, please contact us.

Health Check

Garnett — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 12:10:06 +0000

Information Technology is a major investment, but one that can pay big dividends if the appropriate systems are implemented correctly. It is vital to review these systems on a regular basis to ensure they continue to be fit for purpose, and offer value for money. GMR Consulting has been engaged by a local organisation to carry out just such a review, looking at applications, infrastructure, usage and overall implementation. The findings will be presented to the Board with recommendations for change accompanied by an action plan.

Export Drive

Garnett — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 09:49:27 +0000

GMR Consulting has been engaged by a local Packaging Manufacturer to plan and lead an export drive into the ROI market place. The campaign will cover the whole country starting in the East in the Dublin area, then moving to the West before finally targetting the Cork area. Activities include telecalling and roadshows backed by local media coverage.

Planning for Business Survival

Garnett — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 13:36:42 +0000

As recent events in London have demonstrated, your business can be placed in jeopardy or destroyed overnight. Thankfully, a number of local businesses have decided not to tempt fate but to engage GMR Consulting to develop their own Business Continuity Plan to protect as far as possible against a range of potential disasters. It is worth noting that achievement of several of the ISO 9000 family of Quality Standards may require you to have a BCP. Additionally, many Public Sector Contracts now require tenderers to submit a BCP with their proposal. In short, it safeguards your business, reduces risks and minimises financial losses should you be unfortunate enough to suffer a disaster.

Building for the Future

A leading Housing Association has engaged GMR Consulting to undertake a review of its Information Technology systems to ensure that they are fit for purpose, and can continue to deliver in the medium term. The review will embrace the core applications in use, as well as the underlying infrastructure. This project highlights the fact that IT continues to be a GMR specialism.
