Ch. 5 Finance Function Transformation - KPIs and Reporting
Ch. 5 Finance Function Transformation - KPIs and Reporting
The client has a highly complex organization with several distinct business models and a matrix organization around
Business Units (R&D, manufacturing) and Regions (sales and service organizations)
Over the years, the client has rapidly expanded its business through a large number of , mostly smaller bolt-on
acquisitions – this has lead to a decentralized, fragmented and largely not integrated organization
The client intended to continue its growth and acquisition agenda, while wanting to improve profitability
The client has transferred all of its transactional processes to a corporate shared service center, which is partly
outsourced
In this context the client’s Finance function needed to evolve towards providing more forward looking decision
support, while become more efficient and effective and operating in a more integrated way
Booz was brought on board to initiate and lead a comprehensive Finance function transformation over a 1+ year
effort across 8 workstreams
Booz used took a 3 phased approach across 4 dimensions: organization structure, processes, IT tools and people
development
