KEY USE CASES

PMO Establishment & Operation

We have partnered with a large multi-national FMCG company to establish and operate a Project Management Office for strategic business initiatives. Our focus involved the definition of project management standards and creating a proper structure for various project types – including phasing, staffing, documentation, and deliverables. Through this engagement, we have also led multiple strategic projects through our own PMs including go-to-market sales transformation projects, supply chain restructuring projects, and multiple shared services transition projects across multiple regions and business units.

Large Scale ERP Project Delivery

Working with a regional leading company in the area of Utilities distribution & operation, we led the full ERP delivery lifecycle. Building on our Technology Advisory ERP selection services, we engaged as a full Project Management team to manage a large scale implementation of SAP across 15+ legal entities and with over 200+ stakeholders. Spanning 2 years, the project was successfully launched and stabilized and remains the golden standard for ERP implementations in this sector in the Middle East region.

ERP Project Evaluation & Recovery

We worked with a leading F&B manufacturer & retailer to recover their failed ERP implementation. Following 2 failed attempts and major investment loss, we came on board to perform a full project evaluation which resulted in restructuring the project into 2 phases, taking over the PM duties and successfully leading both project phases to completion over a span of 3 years. The successful implementation unlocked potential for further capabilities being implemented including automation, analytics, and external system integration to further streamline operation and support management decision making through accurate insights and analysis.
