**Some exciting projects the PIP team has overseen**:
**Conduct cost analyses to identify and correct low margin services**- With financial and operation data obtained from the laboratory, the PIP team modelled how P&L costs are absorbed by each test. This enabled detailed portfolio profitability analysis, leading to targeted pricing adjustments and the identification of improvement project.

**Work on longer-term initiatives such as the global roll-out of new Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)**- By working closely with laboratory managers to restructure cost and revenue accounting, they helped identify cost-saving opportunities using internal benchmarks and standardised project work breakdown structures.

Through in-depth analysis, they uncovered root causes behind performance differences between comparable teams and departments.
