Case Study: Interim COO, Convention Services Company
The Situation
A service company in the convention industry was badly damaged when COVID shut down live events. Revenue stopped, and the operation behind it, built for peak convention volume, was suddenly too large, too slow and too expensive.
What we did
Larry stepped in as Interim COO for one year and worked on four fronts:
Footprint. Reduced the physical footprint of the business by 40% to match the business that was left.
Throughput. Redesigned operating processes so fewer people moved more work through the operation.
Cost. Took cost out through procurement and by reducing overhead.
Talent. Rebuilt the team around top-graded talent.
The result
A business that survived one of the most challenging situations it will ever face and came out stronger and leaner than it was before Covid.
