The Callisto Grand Story
READ MORE
Callisto Grand originated in 2010 in response to the huge knowledge gap in Credit Management in Shared Service Centres.
SSC’s aspire to be Best in Class but until recently there was no recognized , standard measure of success or related development programmes.
The Callisto Grand story is changing that ……..
The Founder , Mark Harrison , is a 40 year career credit professional with extensive first hand knowledge of operation requirements and a track record of success.
From 2005 to 2012 Mark, was instrumental in building the O2C infrastructure at two Shared Service Centres in Czech Republic and at the same time successfully completing an Honours Degree in Credit Management.
Extensive reserach for his final dissertation’Credit Management in SSC’s’ together with first hand observations confirmed a major lack of O2C recognition at all levels.
Prior to 2010 , there was no training designed to match the specific needs of this new and rapidly expanding business environment – Multi-National Shared Services.
Hence the genesis of Callisto Grand. The first trainings were in Czech Republic (formerly CZICM and ACCEE) and moving very swiftly into all other Central European countries and now attracting interest from other continentents.
The first training sessions were focussed on Collections but it was soon realized that today’s successful business professional needs to be agile and connected.
In 2017 , Professor Patrick O Connelly joined the team as Director of Curiculum and is the main arctitect of the Credit Masters Level 1 & 2 professional qualifications.
In addition to Mark and Patrick , all Callisto Grand trainers are highly experienced and specialized operational business managers.
Our evolution and ambition to lead SSC’s to be the best they can possibly and our Comparative Performance Measure (CPM) is the roadmap and benchmark to success.
The story continues…………………………

Credit professionals need support, consulting and training; companies want and need the best in class. We’re here to connect the dots.
You give your best, invest many hours but the metrics remain the same or, worse deterioate.
You are advised that technology is the answer to improved KPI’s and efficiences but which, what, who, when, why, how?
The result? Frustration and uncertainty on one side, wasted time and missed opportunity on the other.
Here’s the reality check
READ MORE
Double digit overdues are a long way from a Culture of Excellence.
If your numbers exceed 2.5% in any or all of overdue %, unapplied cash, credit notes vs sales or attrition rates, it confirms a weakness in one or more internal policy, process or procedure.
There’s a lot to improve, and we’ve got a game-changing strategy. We’re using technology, industry knowledge, and a network of virtual and local experts to quickly solve each manager’s problem — from a high past due % , attrition rates or pressure to improve effciency / reduce costs.
At all levels, including Senior Management , the root cause is identified as „ They don’t know what they don’t know”
Exceeding mission critical KPI objectives and career progression to senior management can only be achieved by embracing Culture, Leadership, Talent Development, Technology, Policies, Procedures, Employer Branding and Diversity simultaneously.
