The challenge

A fortune 500 financial services company, valued at $20 billion, spent years rolling out an efficient daily management and process improvement program across its entire organization. Despite years of collaboration with an established vendor, the program failed to deliver the expected value, and the desired cultural shift never materialized. Recognizing the need for change, they sought a fresh approach that would build upon existing efforts, drive deeper engagement, deliver measurable results, and fuel the cultural and business transformation outlined by the board and executive leadership. 

The solution

Our solution began with a deep dive into the existing model, including thorough reviews of processes, documents, playbooks, and stakeholder interviews to gain a complete understanding. From there, we simplified and standardized operations, applying Lean principles to streamline efficiency. To ensure accountability and set clear expectations, we implemented leader standard work and comprehensive training across the enterprise. As strategic shifts accelerated, the program’s demand grew, significantly enhancing the value delivered by the initiative. 

The results

  • Through strategic improvements, we transformed service delivery, reducing wait times by over 400%, expanding supplementary services fivefold, and increasing access for low-income individuals and families while lowering per-person costs.
  • These optimizations generated $25M+ in value through cost savings, revenue growth, and cost avoidance.
  • Additionally, 17,000+ employees have adopted standardized lean work practices, ensuring lasting impact and efficiency across the organization.
