THE CONTEXT

A new CDO with a tough mandate

We supported a newly appointed Chief Digital Officer (CDO) at a mid-sized commercial vehicle OEM - tasked with driving growth and business-model change.

Cyclical legacy base

40+ year core business with revenues structurally exposed to economic cycles.

End-to-end digital transformation mandate

Complex shift to a digitally enabled model delivering best-in-class customer experience via platforms and products.

Robust foundation with resource constraints

Data harmonization and strong IT/security backbone amid tight resources and industry downturn.

How we shaped it

Built around operating reality - not generic "digital transformation."
