Amgen, a leading biotech company, is currently building a $2.5 billion dollar facility in Ireland. They are turning to us to create world-class teams and a high performing culture that matches the 21st century design of the new facility. Amgen’s trust in us is based on past work we have done with them. In 2002, they had a major construction project in disarray. The project was behind schedule, significantly over budget, and the eight major entities involved were in conflict.
HP2 stepped in and standardized practices for communication, cooperation, coordination, and project management. In short, we put all of the entities on the same page. Then we guided them in creating cross-organizational teams that worked on these new practices so that they could be taken back to the project teams.
That project came in ahead of schedule with $8 million in cost savings attributed to HP2’s work. In our new work with Amgen we will make an even bigger difference, both with the culture and with the bottom line.
