THE SOLUTION

We are aware that the success of the organisational transformation depends on the ability to follow a shared vision, communication forms and methods and assigned managing teams between the stakeholders.

Our consultants delivered a project with the creation of new reporting methods within IT department and general management divisions in the business and full deployment. In the interim, we have coordinated management teams from different departments to facilitate new approach between IT and other business lines to build a common ground and open platform for open communication.

Ultimately, by delivering continuous improvements in operations in POC mode we created efficient management and reporting system based on development from the feedback of every participant.
