Helping consumer-goods companies redesign their operating model, and develop the capabilities to transform their organization
What we do
Operating model transformation
We help clients make fundamental decisions about the design of their organization, including enterprise-level structure, functional structure, roles and responsibilities, management processes, and decision rights. By aligning structure to strategy and implementing agile ways of working, businesses can quickly adjust priorities and adapt the organization in response to any change.
Change management
The overall transformation journey is supported by a dedicated change management and communication process to engage and educate key stakeholders systematically across the company. Our experts work with executives to conduct quantitative diagnostics, benchmark aspects of the company’s organizational health against peers, establish concrete change initiatives based on proven recipes, and design a transformation approach that aligns the organization around targeted priorities.
Capability building
We help organizations build and adapt the skills, mindsets, and behaviors required to sustain the long-term impact of the organizational change. We provide top-level client-learning programs to strengthen leadership skills, while our capability-building programs provide turnkey approaches and consist of complete training modules to help transform the organization.
Merger management
We partner with consumer-goods companies to maximize the success of their end-to-end M&A activity by tailoring our market-leading M&A blueprint for strategy, deal identification and execution, and merger integration methodology to address the specific objectives of each merger.
