Aligning operational performance with company strategy

    The French subsidiary of an international insurance group must succeed its strategic and operational transformation, improve its performance and conform to the objectives set by its parent company. The challenge is daunting: commercial performance must be improved, customer satisfaction and productivity increased while controling costs and operational risks.

    This strategic shift is also a cultural shift. The piloting of the ambitious transformation program must be monitored rigorously: processes, IT, organization, activity piloting methods, change management.

    The WillBe Group team is used to intervening in multicultural contexts. It is asked to support the head office with:

    • Evaluating the expected gains and costs of the transformation project
    • Redesigning and describing all core and support processes
    • Making improvement recommendations based on the Lean Six Sigma method
    • Defining the project’s governance strategy in coherence with the assigned objectives
    • Securing the start of the project and its piloting, including what’s related to IT and change management.

    As a follow up, WillBe Group is asked to train the person who will be in charge of internal control, and help her design and implement a new risk control system to comply with Solvency 2. The system must also be consistent with the group’s existing European system. Additionally, this is an opportunity to make sure the group’s reporting and data quality are secured.

    WillBe Group implemented a pool of different skills and expertise with a program management office, to accompany internal teams that are geographically distributed across several European cities. The aim is to ensure the global coherence of the different projects, the transfer of knowledge and skills and the alignment with set objectives.

    OUTCOME: the ambition of the parent company, based in London, is to learn as much as possible from the transformation of the French subsidiary in terms of transformation methodologies and project management to replicate the approach successfully in each of its European entity.
