From Vision to Execution: A Strategy-Led Business Transformation
THE CHALLENGE
A diversified group was at a critical inflection point after major losses. The company needed to quickly restore profitability while also defining a long-term direction across its core and emerging businesses. Strategy alone wouldn't be enough—it needed to be matched with structure and leadership alignment.
What we did
Acumen led a multi-phase transformation that aligned strategy, organization, and performance:
- Facilitated leadership realignment on profitability, identifying root drivers and building initiatives and governance for recovery
- Reignited the 5-Year OGSM strategy, focusing on three growth segments and enabling cross-functional teams to lead them
- Co-designed a new organizational structure aligned to strategy—clarifying Group vs. BU roles, mandates, and talent needs
Impact
The company emerged with a co-owned strategy, an execution-ready structure, and strong leadership alignment. What started as a short-term rescue became a full business transformation—linking ambition, capability, and action across the enterprise.
