Overview

Why Moorhouse?

We are a dynamic consulting firm, focused on delivering sustainable change.

Performance Improvement at Moorhouse

Over the last four years Moorhouse has extended its reach into the Performance Improvement (PI) space. The growth in PI clients for Moorhouse has been a result of clients wanting to reduce costs, drive productivity, improve customer experience and optimise employee practices. They are interested in understanding their pain points and working in a truly collaborative way to deliver meaningful process improvements. We work with our clients to embed Lean ways of working into the culture of their firm and using our team of PI professionals; we work to upskill our clients through eLearning journeys, training, and face to face coaching. This means our clients can continue to operate better, faster, and more cost-effectively. This demand means we are seeking to recruit a PI Manager Consultant with process optimisation, cost reduction and operational excellence experience to strengthen our current team and to play a role in the leadership and growth of our offering.
