by Jes Anker Batting

My experience is built over 25+ years of work in the tricky area between the commercial domain and the technical domain. These domains must link closely together in order to achieve success in complex undertakings.


But this is where communication, collaboration and mutual understanding of commercial and technical aspects can be challenging and many things can go wrong. When things go wrong the result is always huge extra costs, delays, disappointment and loss of value.


Having held senior positions in some of the big international management consulting firms and in top management, I have spent 25 years in the advisory role delivering robust solutions in this particular field to over 100 international programmes and projects.

I provide specialised advisory and execution support to boards, stakeholders, top management, organisations, programmes and projects in the private and public sectors.


I work on a consulting basis, interim hire, or as a subcontractor through other management consulting firms and engineering consulting firms. 


The services I offer (introduced below) are all interrelated and complementary, and therefore often coupled in the work I do.

Megaprojects

I help organisations establish robust solutions for defining, procuring, operating and maintaining high-cost and long-life-cycle assets, equipment and infrastructure by simplifying and de-risking complex commercial and technical aspects. I work buy-side or supply-side in civilian and military sectors such as Aerospace & Defence, Rail & Transport, Maritime & Off-Shore, and Industrial Plants & Buildings.

Procurement

I help organisations get maximum value out of their procurement efforts by providing deep expertise across the complete procurement transformation spectrum - from diagnostics, procurement strategy and organisation, strategic sourcing and category management, procure-to-pay optimisation to eProcurement. I work in the private and public sectors as well as in intergovernmental organisations. See more... 


Cost-Out

I help companies take massive cost out of their engineering and procurement of capital-intensive plants, facilities, products and services. I offer and facilitate a tailored and proven approach and method to cost-out, which fully involves engineers, technicians, supply chain professionals and business people from the company's own organisation. I work in sectors such as manufacturing, fabrication, construction, and O&M.

Leadership

I provide sparring and coaching to leaders, responsible stakeholders and relevant teams. Over the past 25 years, I've worked closely with hundreds of CxOs and leaders that all have tough jobs on their hands transforming organisations and cultures in a competitive and everchanging environment. I have successfully completed two turn-arounds, one as the right-hand to the CEO of a large megaproject contractor, and one as CEO of an SME company.
