Logica France and Strategic Thought agree partnership to help clients manage program, portfolio and enterprise risk

Strategic Thought Group, announced today the formalisation of its partnership with Logica Management Consulting in France, a leading provider of IT and business services. The partnership has already helped joint customers improve their processes and business performance through the implementation of rigorous and robust risk management. This collaboration is built on Logica’s expertise in risk and business processes, implementing and configuring Active Risk Manager to enable excellence in risk management. To date, the alliance has delivered significant value to major European aerospace and defence companies with complex, comprehensive and challenging projects. Further combined activity is being undertaken across a number of other industry sectors to create, improve and refine enterprise risk management value across programs, portfolios and the enterprise to improve business performance.

Logica has experience of Active Risk Manager as a result of its involvement with Eurocopter, the manufacturer of helicopters for the civil and military market. Bruno Trebucq, Senior Manager, Logica France said, “We choose to partner with Strategic Thought as Active Risk Manager is the proven management solution in the aerospace and defense sector both in Europe and the USA. We aim to deliver best practices across all of our clients and projects. We see ARM playing an important role in the effective deployment of standardisation and risk processes to ensure that the right information gets to the right people at the right time, to allow for risk-adjusted decision making at the highest level.”

Karl Pringle, Global Alliances Director at Strategic Thought commented, “There is a need for more formalised and mature risk management processes which are enabled and supported by sophisticated technical solutions. The collaboration with Logica gives Strategic Thought the opportunity to work closely with a leading provider of IT systems integration and business services to deliver value through robust risk management. Logica France has an excellent reputation and track record and this partnership reinforces the feasibility of ARM to manage project, program and portfolio risk on the journey to complete enterprise risk management (ERM) and improved decision making.”

While the partnership started in the aerospace and defence sector, going forward it will encompass joint target vertical markets such as energy and utitlities, engineering and transportation.

“Logica partners with leading market players at a global, national and local level. Alliances lie at the heart of our strategy, our approach to customer service and value creation,” concluded Sebastien Brasseur, Partner, Logica Management Consulting, France.
