Accelerating Value Recovery Through Strategic Cloud Implementation Leadership

Accelerating Value Recovery Through Strategic Cloud Implementation Leadership

Situation

Invesco’s high-profile technology program required immediate intervention to rapidly assess and stabilize implementation progress while enhancing visibility through improved reporting, streamlined processes, increased data quality, risk mitigation, and technology infrastructure modernization. The program rescue efforts were initiated to address critical challenges that threatened successful delivery and value realization from the substantial cloud transformation investment. Multiple stakeholders across all functions of the organization needed to be engaged to ensure successful implementation, requiring sophisticated coordination and governance to realign the program with strategic goals and delivery expectations.

Our Solution

Thought Logic provided comprehensive program leadership through Independent Assessment, Governance & Alignment, Re-Mobilization & Execution, and Risk Mitigation strategies to ensure successful value recovery and acceleration. Our approach included conducting independent evaluation of program progress, identifying gaps, and recommending improvements to realign with strategic objectives. We streamlined software selection, integrator RFP processes, and governance frameworks to ensure efficient decision-making, then reorganized a 300+ person global implementation team to enhance delivery across 15 product and 10 enabling squads using Agile methodology. Additionally, we addressed critical risks to realign the program with strategic goals while ensuring measurable value realization throughout the implementation process.
