  • Implement onboarding, training, and performance management programs that promote consistency, accountability, and growth.
  • Operational Excellence

  • Design and roll out unified processes and systems for managing the entire client lifecycle—from lead to close to delivery.
  • Standardize tools, processes, and reporting to reduce duplication, errors, and forecasting gaps.

  • Establish operational processes, reporting, and KPIs to manage SBU performance and client outcomes.
  • Key Goals / Success Measures

  • Consistent, high-quality client experience across SBUs
  • Improved client satisfaction scores (NPS, retention)
  • Increased cross-SBU revenue and multi-service adoption
  • Significant organic growth through better cross-selling and consultative client leadership
  • Successful unification of disparate SBU teams into an aligned, client-first Client Services organization
  • Reduced operational inefficiencies and duplicative work
  • Strong employee satisfaction and retention in AM and PM roles
