Most of us have been through profit improvement exercises - programs with acronyms like TPI (Total Productivity Improvement), PIP (Profit Improvement Program), Delta P (Change Performance). Some we umbrella brand as continuous improvement, others are focussed on turnaround or survival. They can be cost, productivity or revenue focussed - or the lot. We may give them positive spins by adding innovation and growth targets, but ultimately they are about improving cost, efficiency and productivity.

Our Client, a publicly listed company operating in the Australian travel industry, has a wholesale ticketing business which has been under threat from several market factors. Pacific Strategy was asked to develop a five year strategy to combat these threats with specific analysis focusing on a number of initiatives already underway as well as new initiatives.

Pacific Strategy was engaged by a multinational oil and petroleum retailer to assist with a strategy review for the client's Convenience Retail group. The review was a major strategic initiative for the client at a time when the retail fuel market was dominated by two players and the overall market was under heavy scrutiny from government regulators and the general public.
