Background and objectives mission

The Group has initiated a project to reorganize its waste recycling activities in order to adopt a customer-oriented organization. This reorganization implies a new structuring of the business units, with a different analysis framework. To support this transition, management wishes to set up an appropriate management reporting system, capable of effectively monitoring the performance of each Business Unit (BU) under this new organization. The main objective is to ensure clear, consolidated visibility of financial and operational indicators at the new level, thus facilitating steering and strategic decision-making.

approach adopted

The mission began with a detailed analysis of the new organizational and analytical repository as part of a Business Intelligence (BI) project. As project manager, our role was to coordinate the definition of business requirements and validate the consistency of the tools developed. An in-depth review of the cost control model was carried out to adapt calculation and allocation methods to the new structures. In addition, a specific tool was set up to manage investment requests, optimizing the validation process and budget tracking. Finally, personalized assistance was provided to local Finance Departments to ensure correct implementation of reporting according to the new format, while at the same time enhancing their skills.
