Our collaboration
SAP and McKinsey have drawn on their individual strengths to create a strategic alliance that shifts the focus from technical implementation to business transformation by merging technology modernization with strategy execution, helping companies address critical challenges and drive business results.
Problems we solve
Enterprises and CEOs across the globe are investing heavily in technology modernization for digital transformations as it unlocks significant value for enterprises across their organizations. However, the majority of organizations are failing to realize the full potential of their investments when implementing traditional approaches to enterprise platform modernization.

Client Impact
Transforming a European retailer across retail, supply chain, category management and finance
We enabled a successful SAP S/4HANA transformation by defining the business vision and operating model, supported by the development of a transformation office and a program academy for skills building.
Transforming a multinational CPG supply chain using SAP Integrated Planning for Supply Chain (SAP IBP)
We reimagined the next-generation operating model through tech-enabled autonomous planning, capability building, agile ways of working, and proven control-tower processes. The program reduced inventory by 27 percent and manual work by 60 percent by consolidating over 100 data sources into one. It also increased the forecast accuracy by six to ten percent and reaction speed by 400 percent.
