Case Study: Digital Transformation

A leading trade association required an intensive, top-to-bottom operations transformation that led to stunning efficiencies, new capabilities and cost savings.

Client Challenges

  • An antiquated, legacy membership management system.
  • Human Resources suffering from evolutionary flaws in management information systems.
  • A systemic inability to adapt to contemporary information systems deployed by sponsors, partners and vendors.
