A large manufacturing company had performed strongly over decades, however a significant deterioration in market conditions had significantly impacted revenue forecasts and ultimately the projected NPAT for 2016/17 and 2017/18. This forced the company to re-assess its strategy to address the headwinds.
The company had strict Bank Covenant ratios (around debt) and needed to be pro-active, otherwise they would exceed these ratios. To ensure they remained in a strong financial position, the Board supported a management proposal to implement a Transformation Program.

The Starting @ RSL Care project team formed in late 2009 to understand what was happening in the space of induction and orientation. The team began to learn and apply a new methodology – Human-Centred Design, to understand the problem. At this point in time, the team has been through the first three phases of the Design process: Problem Definition, Discovery-Immersion and Creation.
The current New Employee Pathway has been designed based on the findings from interviews conducted with new employees in July. This pathway outlines the current experience a new employee has when starting at RSL Care. This has led the team to a number of insights/principles that any solution must meet to improve induction/orientation at RSL Care. Ideas have been developed based on this pathway and the findings from the interview process.

Launching a new venture in a tough market (www.ridgy.com.au)
Launching a new business venture will always be a difficult and risky proposition for an entrepreneur. But launching a clothing brand in the highly competitive sports-fashion industry is almost cut-throat. The margin for error is very small. Our client’s personal experience and know-how in that industry inspired them to exploit a gap in the market.
They discovered that finding fashionable, functional and affordable ‘active wear’ is more difficult than you might expect – especially in the young adult market. They believed there were opportunity areas along the value chain that would allow them to build a unique value proposition and establish a reputable brand in a global market.

For an employer, developing a ‘differentiated’ employee value proposition has become a strategic priority. An area of concern for our client was the high churn rate of new employees compared to industry averages and extensive analysis revealed that this was having a significant business impact.
