Case Study

National Union of Students

When the National Union of Students and its associated trading company NUS Services Ltd were adversely affected by issues within their operations, they turned to Greenhouse for assistance.

This assignment comprised supporting the CEO and Board by providing clarity and focus in the raising of organisational performance, including critical analysis of structures in line with a clear strategy, raising organisational performance, setting and delivering KPIs, assessment of strategic capex projects, and undertaking Value for Money studies across all areas to identify efficiencies and improvements.

What the client said...

"Jan Sowa from Greenhouse worked closely with me and NUS for over a year to help transform the functions within Business Services into an efficient and highly effective enterprise. As the CEO of NUS I have found it enormously beneficial to have an independent and knowledgeable external specialist take a comprehensive look at the way we operate."

"The fresh and innovative approach taken by Greenhouse highlighted a number of weaknesses in our organisation, and its skilled insight helped us put them right. By looking at the big picture, as well as the finer detail, Greenhouse was able to suggest fundamental restructuring that has had a highly positive impact on our effectiveness. Value for money studies led to increased efficiency, and a number of special projects helped us to overcome the stumbling blocks that can impede many organisations.

The service provided by Greenhouse has always been friendly and professional, and, in an increasingly challenging financial climate, Greenhouse has played a vital part in the success of NUS."
