Major Big 4 Accounting Practice
Major Big 4 partnership restructure across multiple international territories
The Situation
A number of self-standing partnerships under one brand, operating very differently across borders, with varying levels of performance, differing brand images, and occasionally competing against each other to win business in the region.
The Challenge
Facilitate a major shift to unite the multiple territories businesses into a single partnership, able to harness business opportunities and perform strongly in their international market.
Manage sensitivities across the multiple 8 businesses – from differing pay structures to significant cultural differences to differing sector and client focuses.
Our Approach
Fresh, engaging, enjoyable style and a compelling force to build team cohesion, a shared strategic focus and commitment to making significant changes.
Regular 1:1 and group sessions across every country with every Partner, chairing of Territory senior partner meetings and facilitated workshops to manage progress from initial discussion to a robust business network model.
Outcome
A strong partnership acting as a single brand and an integrated territory - working with a sense of positivity, optimism and momentum.
Partners across all territories united behind new network partnership arrangements, with over 90% of Partners voting in favour.
“This new network is integral to the future of PwC in this region…. after months of intense study and engagement with stakeholders, senior leaders at PwC determined organisational strategy and priorities with the overarching goal of delivering greater value to our clients, people, and communities”.
