Accenture helped Towers Watson prioritize the most critical integrated processes, systems and reports, and create a plan to achieve integration in time for Day One. Specifically, Accenture worked with the client to develop the integrated Day One co-sourcing, billing, forecasting, financial reporting and management reporting solution designs.
Accenture also helped the client implement these solutions by Day One using our change management methodologies and skills. The Accenture team was drawn from Management Consulting, Finance & Enterpise Performance, Talent & Organization Performance and Technology. Among the methodologies and frameworks we leveraged were the Finance Post-Merger Integration Toolkit, Finance Process Excellence Framework, Enterprise Performance Management tools, HR Transformation tools and Process Excellence Framework, and Organization Design Framework.
These assets helped reduce the time taken, while reducing risk and were essential in meeting the deadline. They also helped ensure that the client’s requirements were met while following leading practices.
Most teams were co-led by Accenture and client resources to support the transfer of information.
