CASE STUDY
Re-engineering operations to embrace the digital age
A large, privately held media company was experiencing significant disruption in the digital age. With antiquated products, processes, and technologies, their ability to connect with and drive value for their customers was eroding. They knew they needed to act quickly and fiercely to reshape the business, devising a winning strategy that would enable them to compete. However, they found themselves lacking the agility to achieve and sustain meaningful change.
Focusing on core sales and operations functions within a key market, a team was assembled to design and implement a functional operating model that would support the new strategic direction of the business. They helped to evaluate current people, processes, technologies, and data constructs, and to recommend then implement operating model adaptations across those components that aligned with the future state business model.
The organization experienced revenue growth in new digital product lines that exceeded 50% year-over-year following the implementation of these operating model changes. They then took the core construct of this transformational program and replicated it across other markets and businesses to achieve comparable results.
