THE CHALLENGE

Novartis engaged us to partner with the CHRO and Global Head of Organisational Transformation to build OD and OE capability from the ground up – a heavyweight central CoE embedded into business units globally. Once established, we became their preferred associate partner, deploying senior specialists on demand across four major global programmes when capability was needed beyond the internal team.
