Situation

• Three years ago, our client had purchased an IT professional services company to augment its existing services
• Existing services were being commoditized, and the plan was to use IT to enhance them
• After three years, little integration had occurred with the group and no new services had been created
• A new CIO was hired and part of his mandate was to utilize this group
• Cultural and leadership problems prevented bringing the group into the rest of the company

Solution  

• We worked with the CIO to lay out a six month and three year strategy for the group
• We helped him lay out candidates for the leadership post of the new company
• We recommended strategic, organizational and process changes

• The CIO used the strategy to get buy in from his C-level peers
• The CIO used the strategy to explain the vision of the group in his recruitment of a new leader
• The new leader has been selected and will begin executing the strategy
