Industry

iCollege Limited and RedHill Education Limited were ASX listed education providers that targeted both international and domestic markets.

iCollege and RedHill Education were undergoing a merger to create a leading ASX listed Australian education provider with a significantly diversified campus footprint, course offerings, and customer mix. There was a need to ensure the successful integration of the two organisations.

Solution

These companies engaged Expert360 to hire an experienced PMO manager, who worked closely with the CEO, CFO & Board, providing clarity around the scope, milestones, goals, and expected outcomes of integration activities.

The PMO manager oversaw governance, transparency, traceability, templates, standards, processes and procedures, and tracked the project work streams.

Impact

Thanks to the elite talent iCollege and RedHill Education were able to hire, their integration program delivered on many milestones well ahead of schedule.

Further, iCollege is now:

  • On track to deliver annualised cost synergies in the range of $1.0m to $1.3m.
  • Able to launch HR and Payroll platforms for all employees, a consolidated financial reporting system, new IT service desk and ensure all regulatory notifications were completed.
Feedback
Using Expert360 we were able to find an excellent PMO Manager at short notice that was able to make an immediate impact. James expertly guided us through the integration process enabling us to rapidly integrate systems and processes.
