Business challenge

Our government client needed to turnaround the productivity and performance levels of their large shared services department as it was consistently failing to meet key SLAs and operating at a cost substantially above benchmark.

Context

A large government shared service department provided back‑office services to 11 other agencies, yet lacked the scale in SAP and execution models needed to drive efficiency.

In addition to their low performance, they had some of the lowest employee engagement scores across the government. Without rapid turnaround, the viability of the department was in question.
