Business Transformation (Training and Coaching) was established in 2002 by Denis Mahoney. Denis has over 25 years experience in managing change and performance improvement in multi-national organisations both as a senior manager and a principal consultant.

Denis's trained as an engineer but was diverted, at an early stage, into managing the implementation of a "new" company wide computer system at a GEC Gas Turbine manufacturer. "New" in this context meant it was their first large scale computer system, they had to build a computer room, staff a computer department, teach people how to use keyboards and redefine ALL of our processes to be simple, consistent and documented - writing instructions on the corner of a drawing wasn't going to work any longer! Denis was also the driver of an innovative order processing approach that slashed times from several weeks to 2 days.

Denis's career remained in IT firstly with a couple of years at UNISYS improving product release processes. He then moved to a role to turnaround a failing IT function at a major company in the Hawker Siddley group - he was successful and consultancy beckoned.

Denis joined Philips Electronics UK as an internal consultant and was initially involved in a wide number of "down sizing" projects as Philips moved from a centralised UK to a global product group structure. Denis also lead a number of performance improvement projects to, for instance, half the product development time, design and implement a customer driven kanban system, optimise a supply chain, restructure a functional organisation into project driven self-managed teams, etc. Denis became a Six Sigma Black Belt whilst working on these and other projects at Philips.

Denis's management consultancy experienced continued with a spell at Atos Origin where he lead strategic review and process architecture projects for clients such as Xerox and Johnson and Johnson. Denis then returned to a corporate role to setup a global programme office for SGS spanning 5 continents and 154 countries.

In 2002 Denis decided to establish a training and coaching business that would build on his years of practical experience. The business would be focused on helping clients make performance improvement happen rather than doing it for or "to them". Thus, overtime, improving their capability to manage change and improve performance.
