CASE STUDY
Leveraging Stakeholders to Ensure Success
A 10,000-person engineering division was faced with a major transformation: phasing out redundant, competing tools and processes and replacing them with common processes and tools across the organization.
Collaborating with key engineering leaders, Global Aperture executed on an approach designed to increase stakeholder buy-in and support, remove roadblocks before the implementation began, and help ensure success. We conducted a series of interviews and strategic planning sessions, leading to an integrated set of action plans.
As a result of these efforts, the project execution accelerated, redundant tools were rapidly identified for retirement, new replacement tools were deployed, and significant cost savings were realized.
Strategic improvement is sometimes regarded as an added responsibility, something outside of the scope of one’s ‘day job’. But what happens when your team returns from its planning process? How can you maintain momentum and ensure that improvements are integrated into your team’s operating rhythm?
- Strategy Management Process – build a process for your team to track, oversee, and support strategic improvements
- Project Management Office - provide a “get it done” team to enhance and strengthen your strategic execution, especially helpful for the more challenging aspects of your plan
- Effective Meeting Training - get greater productivity and value out of meetings
Global Aperture’s integration services ensure that the momentum gained in your planning and alignment efforts continues even amidst the ever-present pressure of competing priorities. These services help you stay focused and on track.
