05

Build initiative roadmap

Translate strategic priorities into sequenced initiatives with defined owners, milestones, and dependencies. Align resources and budgets with transformation objectives and organizational capacity.

WINNING TOGETHER

Transformation Readiness Use Cases

A $3B global medtech company underwent a customer experience transformation that stalled out and lost critical stakeholder support due to fragmented leadership, unclear priorities, and inadequate governance.

Experts led a comprehensive readiness assessment across the product, IT, support, and quality functions. The team designed a transformation governance model and facilitated strategic alignment sessions to prioritize initiatives and build leadership consensus. A centralized transformation office accelerated execution and maintained executive alignment.

This led to:

  • $30M investment approval for initial phase
  • Reduced initiative friction through clearly defined roles
  • Accelerated program launch by 3 months

PE-Backed Consumer Products Integration

A PE-backed consumer products company experiencing rapid inorganic growth struggled with siloed operations and inconsistent systems. Experts assessed capability gaps, developed a transformation roadmap, and designed the centralized governance structure. The team prioritized 12 strategic initiatives, established a cross-functional transformation office, and secured investor confidence for the next growth phase.

CPG Operational Maturity Assessment

A global CPG manufacturer needed a current state assessment before a major enterprise systems investment. An eight-week intensive assessment identified operational gaps and integration debt across Asia and North America operations. The Expert delivered board-approved investment options and a comprehensive 3-year implementation roadmap.
