Critical initiatives

Controlled change and smooth transitions without unwanted business impact

We act as a partner to our customers in business-critical initiatives and transitions where risks, impacts, and expectations are high.

When development priorities are based on a shared understanding, the organization is better able to anticipate change, reduce overlapping efforts, and respond more quickly to market and customer needs. The result is an improved customer experience, reduced duplication across the service landscape, and improved cost efficiency.

In our strategic engagements, we bring our multidisciplinary expertise into the initiative and work together with our customers to build a clear, shared vision and a structured development approach. We identify the key development themes that support business objectives, define critical choices, and build a prioritized development plan and roadmap that guide investments and decision-making.

Examples of our engagements

Initiative planning and definition

We support our customers already in the early phases of business-critical initiatives by ensuring that objectives, schedules, dependencies, impacts, and expectations are defined realistically and aligned across stakeholders. We help identify key stakeholder groups, risks, and critical success factors, and design a clear governance and decision-making model. The result is a controlled and predictable starting point that supports business-driven execution and reduces the need for later corrective changes.

Initiative resourcing, support, and sparrings

We ensure that the right expertise is available at the right time. We support and coordinate the work of both the customer organization and partner experts, provide sparring for project leadership, and help resolve challenges that slow down progress at different stages of initiatives. We offer an objective perspective to support decision-making and help maintain overall control even when schedules, resources, or objectives change.

Change communication and coordination support

We act as a partner to ensure that the objectives of change are understood and consistently led across the organization. We design and coordinate change communication to ensure that different audiences receive timely, relevant, and meaningful information. We support overall coordination across complex initiatives and ensure that communication, decisions, and execution reinforce one another throughout the change journey.

Carve-out and integration initiatives

We support organizations in situations where operations, services, or systems are separated or integrated, for example in connection with corporate restructurings. We help identify critical dependencies, ensure service continuity, and minimize business risks during transitions. We operate at the interface of business, IT, and other key functions, ensuring that change is implemented in a controlled manner while balancing short-term continuity with long-term objectives.

Outsourcing initiatives and competitive tendering

We support customers in the planning and execution of outsourcing initiatives and competitive tendering processes, from strategic preparation through to decision-making. We help define objectives, requirements, and evaluation criteria from a business perspective and ensure that decision-making is based on a comprehensive understanding, not solely on cost considerations. The result is a controlled transition, realistic contracts, and solutions that support business continuity and long-term development.
