Project description

Pearl Assurance decided to create a “company within a company” as the vehicle for implementing new business processes, systems technology and HR policies. Although a systems integrator had already been selected, the General Manager responsible for implementing and running the new operation needed a senior manager to run the business elements of the project. Pending recruitment of a new permanent Pearl employee, ItemPlus was asked to fill the role.

The ItemPlus consultant was responsible for.

  • planning and agreeing the business elements of the programme (i.e. people, location, communications, call centre and working environment aspects)
  • identifying a third party to manage the new company recruitment exercise
  • preparing and agreeing project budgets
  • managing the creation of job role and competency profiles
  • liaising with corporate HR, premises and communications departments as necessary
  • working as part of the Programme Management team to resolve issues.
