  • Support each Specialist Discipline Lead to help them improve their Discipline in relation to overall profitability, growth and technical capability.
  • Identify trends and analysis through market research to assist the Disciplines in their strategic plans.
  • Provide analysis for each region with agreed action on specific areas they want to grow.
