| MCA Awards celebrate the best in consultancy collaborations |
| |
|
| | The 14th annual MCA
Management Awards were
held at Grosvenor House
Hotel in London
recently. The awards
seek out management
consultant and client
teams who have delivered
truly outstanding
results and demonstrate
how the UK consulting
industry is a positive
force for the economy.
The judges identify the
best case studies in
each of 12 categories,
where public or private
sector organisations
have achieved a
significant improvement
in performance through
working with management
consultants.
Alan Leaman, CEO of
the MCA, commented:
“These awards celebrate
excellence in an
extraordinary industry.
They demonstrate the
value that management
consultants deliver for
their clients.
“The MCA works
constantly with our
members to attract the
best people into
consulting, and our Code
of Practice puts high
standards and client
interests first. The
standard of entries was
incredibly high this
year and everyone who
was shortlisted can be
proud of this
achievement.
“The economic climate
has been difficult for
everyone and our
industry is certainly
not immune, but this is
a time when quality and
excellence have to come
to the fore. Our
industry can be rightly
proud of its tremendous
wealth of talent – these
awards show just why UK
consulting is world
class.”

KPMG gains
recognition for business
strategy
KPMG, which was
nominated for five
different projects in
three categories, won
the Award for Business
Strategy for its work at
Royal Bank of Scotland
(RBS). Given the
changing environment and
increased threat of data
loss, RBS was determined
to remain at the
forefront of the
financial services
industry’s response to
data security and
engaged KPMG to help it
demonstrate its approach
externally across the
industry.
KPMG was able to
mobilise a global team
of over 400 individuals
in just a few days,
setting up operational
hubs in four regions and
creating a dedicated
call centre to undertake
comprehensive reviews
into the data security
of RBS’s third parties.
At the end of this
project, RBS was able to
demonstrate its focus
and robust approach to
data security.

of performance and
technology at KPMG,

involved.
“This award shows
that our expansion and
growth plans are on the
right track, at a time

starting to slowly
emerge from the
downturn.”
