WINNING TOGETHER
Transformation Readiness Use Cases
Problem
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.
Action
Consultants 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.
Results
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. Consultants 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 consultant delivered board-approved investment options and a comprehensive 3-year implementation roadmap.
