Challenges

The starting point.

The company faced significant internal resistance to implementing a more centralised organisation following previous unsuccessful attempts. The executive team was sceptical about the realisation of benefits, while concerns remained that implementing a Shared Service Centre could add pressure to the company’s growth plans.

Actions Taken

From strategy to action.

  • Assessed potential benefits and developed the business case, vision and implementation journey, securing CEO and executive-level buy-in.
  • Delivered functional synergies and benefits in less than six months through the first stage of centralisation.
  • Designed and standardised processes during the second stage, establishing a Service Factory model in approximately one year.
  • Optimised internal demand for services through Service Level Agreements (SLAs) during the third stage of demand management.
