CHALLENGE

Build a new consolidated IT function from nine separate groups as well as develop a staff retention and motivation program following a major internal reorganisation and consolidation of the bank's capital markets teams.

WHY ABEAM?

Proven experience helping global organisations across the financial sector develop, implement, and maintain IT projects and internal restructuring.

SOLUTION

Our blended and high impact team partnered with the client's key IT leadership team to:

• Interview the newly formed senior management team and identify the challenges, issues and opportunities facing them
• Consolidate disparate groups into a cohesive corporate IT organisation
• Develop and deliver a series of one-day "Uncertainty Workshops" for managers, providing them with the guidance and management tools to use during the transition period
• Develop a series of 1/2 day "Uncertainty Workshops," delivered in seven global locations, to help staff during the transition and offer a forum for providing feedback to management
• Design and facilitate senior management team building at an offsite location to provide a forum for senior managers to exchange ideas and come together as a team, process and develop consensus responses to feedback from the uncertainty workshops, and facilitate a more effective operating unit
• Help the client develop and articulate a comprehensive and compelling vision with clear benefit statements segmented by stakeholders and staff

REAL BENEFITS

• The senior management Team Building and Uncertainty Workshops orchestrated were considered highly successful by the client and key to staff retention and motivation through a challenging time.
• The communication strategy and plan was fully adopted and is being used to ensure effective communication reaches all parts of the organisation.
• Our demonstrated expertise and collaborative approach led to additional consulting on the client's new IT outsourcing operating model and strategy.
