SITUATION

The levers identified for leadership were a change market strategy, an overhaul internal processes, a plan to address IT infrastructure shortfalls, exploration of outsourcing select activities, and pursuit of compatible new markets. The highest impact processes were selected and detailed and a best-in-class sales organization structure was created. Credit and operations automation tools were framed for significant cost savings and transaction accuracy. Adjacent space collaterals were explored to enable new avenues to meet growth targets. Proprietary benchmarking tools were engaged to determine the reasons for lagging profitability and coupled with mitigants to enable improvement.
