Full Credential Description

AlixPartners was engaged to address significant operational inefficiencies within a $17 billion aerospace and defense firm that had recently undergone a merger. The company was struggling to meet its EBITDA targets, consistently falling short quarter after quarter. A critical issue identified was the lack of integration among numerous add-on acquisitions, which resulted in the firm missing out on potential economies of scale. The organization was burdened by excessive spending on overlapping core functions across its various business units.

To tackle these challenges, AlixPartners implemented a comprehensive organizational transformation strategy. This involved streamlining operations and fostering a cohesive corporate culture by integrating the disparate units that had emerged from the merger. As a result of these tailored solutions, the firm not only achieved a more unified operational structure but also successfully increased its revenue to $20 billion, demonstrating the effectiveness of the transformation efforts.
