The client, having grown primarily through inorganic expansions, faced challenges due to fragmented product management and development resources across various business units. This resulted in duplicated efforts and inefficient resource utilization.

02

The absence of a clear mandate for new product development (NPD) led to delayed projects, limited visibility into initiatives, and a lack of cross-functional collaboration.
