Defining the vision of risk quantification for a blue chip multinational
For a global, privately-owned food manufacturer, Oliver Wyman designed and implemented an enterprise risk management framework throughout the organization’s 30 largest, decentralized business units. The implemented framework leverages the existing strategic planning and quarterly reporting processes, and allows senior managers to obtain a holistic view of emerging, strategic risks, achieve alignment of key objectives, and more accurately forecast unit performance.
“Front to Back” Investment Banking Strategy
For a ‘bulge bracket’ investment banking client, Oliver Wyman recently executed a comprehensive ‘Front to Back’ strategy program simultaneously covering both the front office strategy across all businesses (Equities, Fixed Income and Corporate Finance) and the strategy for all related support areas (IT, Operations, Finance, Risk etc). The program delivered consistent economic objectives for the firm across both front office and support areas which will achieve the client’s medium term Investment Banking ambitions across competitive positioning and economic profile.
Driving the Strategy for In-Car Navigation, Entertainment, & Information Software and Services
For a global software and consumer services leader, Oliver Wyman defined, tested, and helped to roll out a new strategic approach to driving success in the $100B in-car systems and services market. The new approach put the client on a path to move from a small USD $20 million footprint into much larger, multi-billion dollar opportunity space.
Pandemic Flu Vaccine Access Strategies for the Developing World
Oliver Wyman is working with PATH to develop strategies for increasing access to pandemic influenza vaccines for the developing world. Currently, sufficient influenza vaccine access does not exist for developing world populations. Implementation of strategies that enhance vaccine access could result in millions of lives saved upon an outbreak of pandemic influenza.
“In looking for a consulting firm, we needed a partner, not just another vendor. What we found in Oliver Wyman was a team with a deep knowledge of our situation and the challenges we faced. They brought a collaborative and flexible approach to problem-solving, innovative ideas backed up by solid experience and leadership, and a down-to-earth approach that enabled them to build relationships and support our organization from day one.”
