Creating growth opportunities at Hibernia College

Hibernia wanted to undertake a strategic review of their business with a view to identifying future growth opportunities. As they had an existing relationship with Forvis Mazars, they contacted their Forvis Mazars relationship partner to discuss options and were introduced to the proprietary Forvis Mazars Optimize programme.

“At the time we were unaware of the Optimize programme that Forvis Mazars deployed to assist with this sort of process, and we certainly found it very beneficial from our perspective in terms of helping us to focus on a critical review of our business.

We went through a number of phases as part of the Optimize process, including an initial appraisal of our market, our products, our customers, our business operations, our management and organisation and our financial position and a risk assessment of the business.

It also enabled us to delve deeper into our business operations and identify areas of process improvement and helped us in terms of reshaping and reorganising the management of the organisation structure of the business.

So it gave us a good grounding and a good overview for us to identify strengths and weaknesses in the business and in terms of identifying opportunities for a longer-term strategic plan, it helped us to hone in on those that we felt were viable and attainable for the business.

We found it a very holistic exercise for the business that was all encompassing and certainly, it brought more value to us as a business than we would have anticipated at the outset.”  - David Carpenter, Chief Executive
