Developed relevant value proposition and branding for Dover Business Services (DBS), a new independent operating unit of Dover Corporation (an $8B global manufacturing conglomerate) which manages IT, Finance and Payroll functions for Dover's 27 major operating companies around the world. Challenged by low awareness of the benefits of shared services, DBS needed to raise the profile of its value to its customers—executives and leaders of Dover’s mid-market manufacturing companies. Catherine led the president of DBS, his leadership team and key project managers to create a relevant value proposition and visual branding to engage its audiences and establish partnership as these functions were assumed and supported by DBS.
The new branding launched in December 2017 and was featured in the January 2018 ribbon-cutting for regional headquarters in Suzhou, Jiangsu, China.

Aligned business objectives and education initiatives on a purely digital forum to promote Boeing’s 100th anniversary. To celebrate its contribution to STEM initiatives and encourage children to become interested in engineering, Catherine helped to shape a unique online campaign to showcase premiere partnerships with PBS, Teaching Channel and Curiosity Machine. Working with internal communications and citizenship leaders, Catherine led due diligence to find the right digital partners, contributed to a targeted strategy, developed key messages, identified opportunities for synergies with other Boeing units, and drove for media results. She also supported and ignited thinking that stretched the usual ideas of “awareness.”
The campaign met and exceeded all internal and external goals.

Digital Platform Development
Orchestrated the due diligence and development of a new online platform to showcase Boeing's shared value. To support better internal and external understanding of the totality of effort to improve business, employees and communities, Catherine led a team that integrated goals, values and content into an online platform that could be easily read, shared and updated for key audiences.
External due diligence was done to benchmark competitors and CSR leaders and to identify future trends in digital reporting. Internal research included understanding functional and executive goals, business milestones, employee engagement efforts and traditional CSR-type activity.
The Global Engagement Summary, now in its third year, has been lauded by internal leaders and external investors and advocates.
Payroll Change Management

Aggregated new payroll standards and executed communications related to migrating 20,000 U.S. employees to ADP GlobalView for Dover Corporation and its 27 operating companies. Dover operating companies were utilizing different systems and cadence to pay employees. As part of the transformation to shared services for all of Dover’s operating companies into Dover Business Services (DBS), ADP GlobalView was chosen to standardize all aspects of payroll. Items that would be standardized included time clock technology, frequency (moved to bi-weekly in arrears), pay day (moved to Thursdays), requiring direct deposit, approvals and processes to enter employee information into the new system. Working with DBS’ global payroll project leader and controller, Catherine analyzed a year of guidance from an executive oversight committee and developed the DBS Payroll Standards—a set of 16 rules that would be identical for every Dover company. These were then used to pinpoint and implement specific changes at each of the 27 operating companies. Communications were then deployed for readiness and enhanced compliance.
The Standards, launched in June 2017, are updated as new rules are defined. More than 5,000 employees were paid with ADP GlobalView in the U.S. in January 2018. The remainder of U.S. employees (approximately 15,000) will go live in July 2018.
