CASE STUDY:
Challenge
The Client wanted to conduct a comprehensive skills audit of their staff in departments across West Africa, to assess competencies in a bid to match job descriptions and staff skills. To identify the gaps and bridge them.
Based on our expertise, knowledge of the client’s environment, innovative ideas, track record, and competitive price, Mazars Nigeria was selected to support the general coordination of activities for the project.
What Mazars did
To coordinate this project, Mazars Nigeria collaborated with Mazars international offices across West Africa, to cover all the agencies of the Client’s organization, establishing shared governance of the project.
Mazars Nigeria supported the formalization of a master plan for the project. It monitored the progress of activities and of the organization and participated in operational meetings. It also facilitated assessment processes with staff at various levels by conducting semi-structured interviews, formalizing outlier findings, and alerting the owners of these activities to a processing period for resolution. This helped to prioritize activities and keep top management informed of progress.
Value delivered
The strategic international presence of Mazars offices enabled effective and efficient management of the project timelines. Knowledge transfer from an external professional services firm to this organization provides a process to develop and manage a system that cuts red-tape and duplication of offices, thereby increasing accountability and efficient use of resources.
