Success story
Western Union, a customer, had a deteriorating brand, increasing risks to operation across 190 countries, no operating standards, ineffective centralized and legacy technology and no procurement value, and no ROI across capital investments. We developed a multifunction and balanced transformation strategy leveraging a new digital finance and procurement operating model. Across 17 small but connected people/tech centered changes we created a new capability toolbox changing the future of work.
