CASE STUDY
From Xander to FTSE 100 brand transformation.
Find out how Business Transformation Associate Luke went from Xander to Programme Manager
of a global brand transformation for one of the largest software suppliers in the UK.
Luke was placed with one of the UK's largest suppliers of technology software for small businesses, with more than six million customers worldwide.
His role as Programme Manager was to oversee a global brand transformation programme across multiple regions including Asia and Australia.
The Challenge.
With an internal project of this size and complexity, the client needed someone who could use project management tools to make sure the project was kept on track, within the scope identified and within budget.
Luke also needed to liaise with the Business Change departments in other regions to make sure the necessary changes were deployed and embraced by employees with the least resistance possible.
Luke was then brought into plan, draft and coordinate logistics around internal communications and external agency communications. He was also responsible for strategising, planning, and deploying business change activities within the Global Brand Programme team.
