Case Studies
In less than two decades, a retail mortgage lender grew from founding to one of the top-three lenders in the nation. Highly entrepreneurial and built for speed, they needed an enterprise Project Management Office that organized their ambitions, enabled collaboration and visibility across a distributed network of branches and operating areas, and relentlessly eliminated low-value initiatives without sacrificing velocity.
In 2012, an Ohio-based commercial bank announced a merger would nearly double their assets from $14B to $24B. But, the merger was dependent on the successful conversion of the loan portfolio. The integration effort included converting systems and developing post-integration operating models that saw the bank's loan portfolio grow by more than 55%, from $9B to $14B.
For years, a consumer finance company outsourced its recovery collections to a multi-state law firm. Faced with flagging performance and escalating costs, they were convinced that we could do better. After a complete re-engineering of the collection process, they tripled collections and cut legal expenses by 66% within the first two years. In fact, the process was so effective that it was spun off and offered as a service to other clients.
