Holistic change for ultimate business success
THE CHALLENGE
The client faced a fragmented operational structure following three rapid acquisitions. Siloed data systems and redundant leadership roles led to a 22% increase in overhead costs and a significant decline in cross-departmental efficiency. We were tasked with creating a unified 5-year roadmap to consolidate global operations without disrupting existing customer service levels.
THE SOLUTION
Our team conducted a deep-dive audit of all 14 global business units, identifying $45M in immediate cost-saving opportunities. We implemented a new governance model, centralized the IT infrastructure onto a unified cloud platform, and redesigned the organizational hierarchy. This included a comprehensive change management program involving over 1,200 senior stakeholders across four continents.
THE OUTCOME
The integration was completed three months ahead of schedule, resulting in an immediate $62M reduction in annual operating expenses. More importantly, the new unified structure improved "time-to-market" for new financial products by 40%. The client now operates as a single, agile entity with a clear, data-driven path toward their 2030 growth targets.
