The client needed to identify significant cost savings across their public affairs, commercial, and legal departments. With a focus on efficiency, they required a strategy to reduce expenses while maintaining the quality and effectiveness of their operations.
OUR APPROACH
We worked closely with the client to implement a shared services and cost reduction strategy. Our efforts included:
Conducting a detailed analysis of expenses across public affairs, commercial, and legal departments.
Identifying $20 million in potential cost savings by streamlining processes and eliminating redundancies.
Developing recommendations for implementing shared services models to further enhance efficiency across departments.
OUR APPRENTICESHIP
True to our apprenticeship model, we worked alongside the client’s teams to ensure they were actively involved in the process:
Client personnel shadowed our team during the expense analysis phase and gradually took ownership of key initiatives.
We empowered the client’s team by guiding them through decision-making processes, giving them the tools to independently manage future cost reduction efforts.
“They felt like a true partner in the engagement.”
