Company Context
Our client is embarking on a journey of European process and technology harmonisation driven by the desire to make the customer (the person) the centre of everything. This requires a corporate mindset shift away from BAU focusing on contracts, locations, and premises, to Customer centric and engaging with the customer in any way they choose. This transition impacts all facets of the business and builds the framework for sustainable growth with common processes, behaviours, and tools across the region. This enables the company to move to core central development with local deployment. The key to success for this transition is not technology deployment,
but a shift in business mindset to- "Think regionally but deliver Locally"- "Customer as a person", not contract, location, or premises.
