ACN Europe
In 2001 Peter Day worked with ACN Europe (based in Amsterdam) to develop a VMNO (Virtual Mobile Network Operator) strategy, implementation plan, and a business case.
In 2002/3 Peter Day Consulting worked with ACN Europe in Sweden, project managing the launch of their first mobile operations in both Sweden and Norway.
Jim Mulcahy, Chief Operating Officer, Europe, said:
Peter Day Consulting was invaluable in helping us develop and implement our plans for our first mobile operations. Their experience in this area, together with their very practical down-to-earth approach really helped us focus on the key issues and make the launch a resounding success.
T-Mobile
T-Mobile is one of the World’s leading mobile telecom operators with operations across Europe and the US.
In 2003/2004 Peter Day Consulting provided a number of consultants involved with a very wide range of activities. George Lee, Executive Vice President, HR strategy, planning and e-HR systems at T-Mobile, said:
Peter Day Consulting has provided us with a number of first-rate consultants over the past 12 months or so. They have been of immense assistance at a time of major changes within the organisation. They have considerable industry operational backgrounds, as well as extensive management consulting experience, and therefore have been able to add value immediately.
Peter Day Consulting has been involved with a range of projects with T-Mobile International. These cover a very wide range of activities, including developing a new proposition development and introduction process; helping with a reorganisation of the marketing department internationally; developing information flows within the organisation and a marketing newsletter; project management of communications activities; and project management of new propositions.
We are extremely pleased with the results of the projects and the calibre of the team and would be pleased to use Peter Day Consulting again for suitable projects in the future.
Wataniya
Wataniya Telecom is a highly successful mobile operator based in Kuwait.
David Murray, CEO and General Manager said:
Working in a multi-cultural organisation, undertaking a paradigm shift in behaviour requires skills on several fronts. Not just a logical and rational approach, good problem solving abilities, etc., but also considerable cultural empathy and sensitivity, allied to great interpersonal skills. I am pleased to say that we found all this, and more, with Peter Day Consulting.
Peter Day worked personally on this project with Bill Howard and they were quickly accepted as seasoned professionals and they established credibility extremely fast – they certainly ‘hit the ground running.
In just four months they have started us on a transformation that will see us even more able to cope with the increasing pressures of a very competitive environment. They customised an approach specifically for us, to suit our culture and level of maturity, trained well over 60 senior managers, and helped us introduce Project Portfolio management and Project Management techniques across the whole business, as well as establishing, and initially running, a Project management Office. We are extremely pleased with the results of the project and would have no hesitation in using Peter Day Consulting again in the future.
