Case Study: a leading global defence manufacturer builds a stronger Finance Global Process Office with Project One

Leading global defence manufacturer builds a Finance GPO in 18 ERP systems with Project One

The customer, a leading global defence manufacturer, was struggling to implement a major finance transformation programme. Its new Finance Global Process Office (GPO) was immature and lacked the project management and business change expertise needed to break down silos, automate complex manual processes, and achieve its modernization goals. Project One was engaged to provide business change management support and expertise to help establish the GPO.

Project One implemented a multi-faceted solution to build team effectiveness, instill structured change management practices, and improve stakeholder engagement. They helped the team define a unified vision and purpose, deployed a comprehensive change management framework, and established rigorous project governance. As a result, Project One significantly improved the GPO team's effectiveness and understanding of business change management, provided them with tools for ongoing stakeholder communication, and successfully launched a critical governance process for managing new project demand.
