Background

About Ash Holliday

I am a highly motivated and results-oriented Senior Business Consultant with over 19 years of experience in complex business environments. I am skilled in strategy alignment & execution, business optimisation, scaling, and complex problem solving. I help my globally located clients across ten different industries, to simplify & optimise their business challenges, into delivering real results. I am passionate about building great cultures and teams, engaging stakeholders, and facilitating improvement & innovation. I have a Masters in Business Administration, a Green Belt Lean Six Sigma certification, and a Diploma in Electrical Engineering. Years of experience taught me: the right tool matters. That's why I leverage a toolbox of over 20 frameworks and methodologies to solve your unique business challenges. I am always eager to learn new ways of solving problems and delivering value. Feel free to connect with me, to learn more about how I can help you with your business challenges. Here are some examples of problems I solve (and the solutions): Problem: Difficulty aligning different departments towards a common goal, leading to wasted resources and missed opportunities. Solution: Strategic Alignment and Execution - I help bridge the gap between strategy and practical implementation, ensuring everyone works towards the same vision. For example I helped develop an execution framework to align Ekistica strategic objectives with their operational team's tactics and reward system. Problem: Businesses struggle to operate efficiently, especially will seeking growth, leading to high costs, reduced margins and reduced competitiveness. Solution: Business Optimisation - I identify areas for improvement, streamline operations, identifying potential bottlenecks and help businesses become more profitable. Problem: Large-scale changes like mergers or technology shifts cause disruption and employee resistance. Solution: Transformation Planning and Delivery (Global and Local) & Organisational Change Management - I manage large-scale changes, considering global and local aspects, while minimising disruption and guiding employees through the transition. Problem: Businesses struggle to identify and optimise the flow of value creation for their customers. Solution: Value Chain Management - I analyse the entire process, finding opportunities for cost reduction and efficiency improvements throughout the organisation. For Cobham Aviation, I helped reduce their client check-in time by 25%, ensuring they were not penalised by late take off fees.
