Let the AGMs Commence!

Posted on April 27, 2012 at 1:29 pm, by aspect

What a great start we’ve had to the week. The team were on-site at that perennial favourite AGM venue – the QEII Conference Centre – delivering an AGM for a well-known mining company which included live video conference link ups to Montreal and Melbourne. With a 250 strong shareholder attendance, the meeting produced a lively Q&A session which was skilfully handled by the Board and the Aspect team. As we continue into the AGM season, we’re on-site next week at the Barbican Centre for a top insurance provider and on the horizon is a dual site link up AGM between the QEII in London and Guernsey for a large financial group and an AGM for a major financial institution in Dublin. Aspect are leaders in AGM production, managing some of the largest meetings in the UK.

Forming the operational strategy of a global telecoms group requires joining together several strands of a complex story to form a simplified, unified picture of purpose and intent. This is why we spent up to two weeks working with the executives of this organisation to ensure the strategy that is presented to management, staff and the outside world is focused, consistent and aligned to statements from previous years. This ensures powerful, compelling and aggressive strategy for the business moving forward.

Delivering a Cost Reduction Strategy for Face to Face Communications

Posted on April 11, 2012 at 11:17 am, by aspect

A leading UK retailer approached Aspect to develop a strategy to move their “must attend” flagship AGM into a more business focused meeting to realise huge cost savings, bring the meeting more in line with their peers and increase shareholder and media issues rather than peripheral interest stories. We developed a 5-year plan that addressed all areas including location, venue type, time of day and meeting content reducing the AGM budget to a third of what the client currently spends within 3 years.

Enhancing the Performance of Sales Teams

Changes in buying patterns required more project related management to present at new business presentations. This international construction company recognised that these managers – some 400 – would need additional help to support the Sales and Commercial teams who present face to face on a regular basis. Having attended a number of presentations and presentation rehearsals, we identified key areas of support that were required.  We then developed a 2-day intervention course to be launched company-wide to improve the confidence, comfort and presentation skills of this group and provide a wider understanding of a client’s requirements from their construction partner.

Improve Brand Coherence and Perception

After a summary of mergers, this global civil engineering consultancy faced brand coherence and perception issues with their customers and staff. Our role was to reveal and understand the relevant trends and background information that informed the brand proposition. Based on this understanding, we researched core brand issues amongst interviewees from which we applied rigorous qualitative and content analysis to provide insight into the future brand vision.  We then developed and delivered a clear brand definition with guidelines and a tool box to roll out to key personnel within the business.
