Enterprise-wide transformation

Helping clients redefine their portfolio, business and operating model: transforming where they play and how they win

Helping clients redefine their portfolio, business and operating model

In today鈥檚 dynamic market, organisations must be willing to transform or risk irrelevance.

Enterprise-wide transformation is driven by:

disruptive external forces impacting both business and operating models
unrealised synergies or significant inefficiencies within and between business units in the portfolio
misalignment between stakeholder interests
absence of a clear financial ambition.

Transformation is not about incremental change, it requires fundamental shifts in an organisation鈥檚 value proposition, how they compete and their core operations. Transformation is rarely straightforward and can encounter significant organisational resistance.

乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网鈥檚 Global Strategy Group (GSG) helps organisations determine whether or not and to what extent transformation is genuinely required. The answer may be to innovate, refresh or accelerate along the company鈥檚 existing trajectory. However, it may instead require a step change or pivot in direction, which is where enterprise-wide transformation comes into its own.

How we can help

Bringing strategic thinking and the hands-on skillsets to deliver on transformation, GSG is distinctive in its ability to enact, rather than merely design or plan for enterprise-wide change. GSG helps organisations address the following questions in designing, planning and implementing their enterprise-wide transformations.

How to refresh or shift the company鈥檚 strategy, given recent changes in the market dynamics?
How to improve internal/external perception of the business and alignment between the ambition, business and operating models?
How to manage the portfolio and improve the role of the corporate center?
What are the intended and unintended consequences to the wider whole of decisions in each unit or in one part of the business or operating model?
How strong is the company鈥檚 readiness to execute transformation and what challenges likely await on that journey?

GSG鈥檚 approach to enterprise-wide transformation aligns organisations internally, mapping the journey from where clients need to be, back to where they are today, and outlining what needs to happen when, for that journey to be realised.

GSG鈥檚 approach provides the overarching framework for multi-year strategic planning, capital allocation, portfolio and synergy assessments, scenario planning, corporate center redesigns, and other modularised enterprise-wide services.

The case examples below demonstrate the transformative results GSG鈥檚 distinctive way of thinking can bring to a client鈥檚 organisation, when addressing enterprise-wide transformation challenges.
