Experian Makes Innovation a Competitive Advantage
We partnered with financial services leader Experian to transform and scale their global innovation system. The effort introduced a series of key enablers to enhance the innovation system: a revised approach to long-term strategic planning; new teams and structures responsible for managing innovation; a new portfolio management system to facilitate resource allocation; and a portfolio of training initiatives. The impact included an increase in the average revenue of innovation projects and faster time to pilot. Experian was named to Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” for the 4th consecutive year in April 2023. Read the full impact story.
Regional Bank Creates a Future Growth Engine
We helped a super-regional bank incubate a new online bank and develop customer-centric value propositions. Our work focused on aligning executive leadership around a set of high-potential strategic focus areas, building innovation capabilities to repeatably create new sources of value, and developing a new risk framework and governance diagnostic to guide future decision-making. Effectively, the bank accomplished the dual transformation of repositioning their current business to maximize resilience while simultaneously creating a future growth engine.
Building a Future-Focused Product Management System
We partnered with a premier wealth management firm to strengthen product capabilities to improve their ability to respond to new fintech players and opportunities. First identifying and prioritizing gaps in their product development process, we then helped design a future state that would link enterprise strategy to front-line work, focus the product portfolio, and define individual product strategies. Finally, we helped to prototype interventions to demonstrate benefits for the organization. The engagement better enabled the company to prioritize and communicate market opportunities, create more cohesive product portfolios, redefine metrics, and identify repeatable capabilities to drive scale.
