The opportunity
Our clients are seeking to hire a new type of Transformation Management expert – one who provides strategic guidance but is also deeply embedded in the delivery and success of their programs. Traditional suppliers - such as strategy houses, systems integrators, and engineering project management consultants - cannot provide the complete service our clients now demand. Our insights and capabilities across all portfolio levels in planning, analysis and delivery are integrated into our core offerings and this exemplifies our unique viewpoint over traditional program management. We also provide services that focus on ‘bridging the gap’ between execution and strategy. This is done primarily by designing and implementing strategic frameworks and solutions that allow companies to make data-driven decisions to optimize and manage portfolios and programs/projects. With digital transformations being a focus of EY, we have incorporated technology into our processes, automating manual work and enabling us to provide greater insights and value to our clients.
