3SIXTY is focused on Making Change Happen.

We design and deliver results-focused change programmes which have positive, measurable and sustainable impacts on our clients’ businesses.

Our work, broadly speaking, spans three areas - People, Process & Growth – and we have strong credentials from a diverse set of clients.

Ultimately, irrespective of the specifics of the client engagement, our work is about delivering improved business performance in measurable, sustainable ways.

Our approach is to think about People and Process in an integrated way. Given the interdependencies between People and Process in a business, our view – based on extensive experience – is that poorer outcomes are delivered by focusing on one above the other and not taking a joined-up approach. We see this as a subtle yet powerful difference in our approach to solving client challenges and one which delivers significantly more impactful results.

When we engage with a client, we initially conduct what we call the 3SIXTY Diagnostic - a deep dive into your organization over a period of 7 to 10 days. The purpose of this diagnostic is for us to get a real sense of where the pain points are in a client organization and to identify areas for immediate – as well as longer-term – improvement which will deliver significant ROI to our client.

3SIXTY is a multiskilled team of experience business practitioners with over 80 years’ combined experience across a diverse range of sectors, clients and business environments.  We are hugely passionate about helping our clients get the most from their people and processes and realise their growth ambitions.

I am driven and motivated by efficiency, focussed on how can I help people and their businesses become more efficient and effective? How can we simplify things so that there is more clarity about whats happening in the business?
This drive results from the fact that I am far from the typical accountant. Clients often ask, What type of accountant are you? I see accounting information as being just one part of the data that helps the manger to understand what is going on in the business and why that is happening. I then apply Lean approaches to design and implement improvements.

Part of the reason for my approach is that my business journey began with a degree in Civil Engineering. I followed this by training as a Chartered Accountant with PWC in Dublin, after which time I worked in the manufacturing industry for over 13 years.

My business experience includes:

• Financial Management in large manufacturing plants

• Leader of TQM-Lean improvement teams

• Selection and implementation of sophisticated ERP Systems

• Delivering Training in Lean-TQM

• Assisting start-ups develop and implement Strategy

One area that is of great interest to me is understanding why some change initiatives succeed where others don’t. In my experience working on the human side of change initiatives can significantly improve the probability of success.
