Re-aligning a £120M-a-year portfolio to double profit
Directed a £120M-a-year finance and people transformation portfolio for the CEO and CFO, re-aligning investment to the strategy and delivering the profit target.
£220Mannual EBIT uplift
Challenge
£120M a year was being invested in projects with no clear line of sight from that spend to the growth the bank needed.
What I did
- Used Playing to Win to define the strategy, then Managing Successful Programmes to deliver it: one funded programme per strategic theme.
- Put every executive in the room from day one, each owning a slice of the profit target.
- Stopped non-strategic work, and replaced Core HR and Payroll within the operating model redesign.
