Restructuring a Middle Eastern shared-services entity

We launched targeted initiatives to design an entity that could support the sustained growth the provider sought over the midterm. Initiatives included sourcing at-scale capabilities at an 85 percent lower cost, institutionalizing practices (such as career-path mapping, lean process design, and capacity planning), and revamping board governance.

Implementing global business services at scale for an industrial-engineering global leader

We implemented global business services at scale for an industrial-engineering global leader, delivering $80 million to $90 million in savings and affecting more than 4,000 full-time equivalents. Execution of the implementation program occurred over approximately 24 months, including more than 12 months of support by McKinsey and a third-party implementation partner in a build-operate-transfer model.

Scaling up, merging, and spinning off a global shared-services network

We helped a global materials-and-agricultural company set and achieve bold aspirations for integrating more than ten centers and splitting into two independent organizations. We undertook this process while significantly scaling up the company’s operations and enabling efficiency improvements of 20 percent to support significant synergy creation.
