Standing up a delivery organization in six weeks

Challenge

A pharma client needed transition, cloud migration and analytics delivery capability from a standing start.

Approach

• Built the delivery organization, governance and transition plan in 1.5 months.
• Executed AWS migration and data analytics workstreams under a single governance forum.
• Managed commercial health through disciplined forecasting and utilization control.

What I took away

• One governance forum across workstreams beats separate forums per workstream every time.
• Profitability is designed into the operating model, not recovered later.
