Transform Your Business with Expert Guidance

Fortune 100 Technology Corporation ($65B Revenue)

Technology & Software

Facing market saturation in core business with declining margins and slowing growth, the client needed to identify new growth opportunities and optimize their business portfolio. Legacy products contributed 75% of revenue but growth had stagnated at 2% annually. The company had attempted 8 acquisitions over 5 years with limited success, destroying $1.2B in shareholder value. Capital allocation lacked strategic discipline with 40% of R&D spending on projects misaligned with corporate strategy. Activist investors were pressuring for portfolio rationalization and improved capital returns.

The Practice Team developed comprehensive corporate strategy including portfolio rationalization (divesting 3 non-core business units for $4.2B), strategic acquisitions (3 targeted acquisitions in adjacent high-growth markets totaling $6.8B), market entry strategy (expansion into cloud infrastructure and AI platforms), new capital allocation framework (implementing rigorous ROI hurdles and strategic alignment criteria), and performance management system (establishing value creation metrics and accountability). The transformation included organizational redesign, M&A integration excellence program, and innovation portfolio optimization.
