Expanded Case Study:

Driving Transformation: Tamer Nasr's Strategic Initiatives at UPS i-Parcel

Introduction

Collaborating with UPS i-Parcel has led to creative concepts in the tough global shipping industry by making operations more efficient and giving customers the best service possible. This case study looks at how our project management and coaching services helped them deal with problems and come up with creative solutions.

Industry context and challenges

Prior to our involvement, UPS i-parcel had a lot of difficulties, such as major shipping delays and inefficient transport networks that made customers more and more unsatisfied. To solve all of these issues, they had to rethink how they did things on an organizational level.

Strategic initiatives and solutions

Our coaching and project management services started a journey of change with UPS i-Parcel by helping them set up a Project Management Office (PMO). This project was a key part of organizing processes and making everything more efficient. When asked to describe the project, Tamer Nasr explained, "The creation of the PMO was met with initial doubt."

The implementation wasn't the only hard part; getting over 500 people from different countries and time zones to work together was also tough. We turned doubt into support by using flexible leadership and technology to help people work together better.

Shipping delays dropped by an amazing 25% in the first year after the PMO was set up. We also increased business efficiency by 40% by scripting more than 150 reports. These changes made our decision-making and service delivery much better, setting a new bar for operating success.

• Custom Framework Development (ITIL, Prince2, and SAFe, with DevOps):
  

Through coaching and advisory services, we helped UPS i-Parcel develop a custom framework that integrated ITIL, Prince2, and SAFe methodologies alongside DevOps practices. Our guidance was pivotal in refining their IT infrastructure to enable more agile responses to technological challenges and market demands.

• Vendor and Client Relationship Program:
  

Recognizing the importance of solid vendor and client relationships, we provided strategic coaching on establishing a comprehensive program to foster collaboration and trust. This initiative was key in ensuring the smooth adoption of strategic plans and securing stakeholder buy-in.

• Coordination of Integrations and Deployments:
  

Our project management expertise was instrumental in orchestrating integrations and deployments involving over 500 stakeholders and 80 suppliers across 39 countries. We offered strategic advice and coaching to ensure the effective implementation of solutions on a global scale.

Sustainability Initiatives

Moving UPS I-Parcel toward major sustainability measures, including utilizing eco-friendly installation and fuel-saving strategies, was in line with our larger environmental goals. These projects weren't just meant to meet official requirements; they also set new standards for the business. Implementing these steps resulted in a remarkable 15% drop in carbon emissions. According to Tamer Nasr, "the push toward sustainability was a sign of our dedication to environmental responsibility." Seeing the concrete results of our efforts, like a 15% drop in carbon pollution, was very satisfying. Our efforts were made clearer, and it inspired us to keep pushing for change.

Expanded Employee Perspective

The strategy changes we advised greatly increased staff satisfaction and productivity. This shows how our project management and coaching services can help improve efficiency and the environment.
