Strategy Implementation Results

Separation of R&D department from a global platform

Situation: A business unit of a global enterprise was up for divestment and the unit’s R&D department had to be carved out from the enterprise R&D platform within a few months after the divestment decision.

Target: Execute R&D carve out to provide a viable stand-alone R&D for the business unit and ensure the remaining enterprise R&D platform to stay intact.

Approach: Established transparent overviews for personnel, roles, governance, processes, capabilities, IP, infrastructure, equipment, IT systems and tools, research material, and inventory. Formed a joint team- and governance structure and worked line item by line item from respective analyses.

Result: All analyses and decisions for the carve-out were delivered on time so that the divestment plan stayed on track with the very tight timeline. The buyer took over a viable stand-alone R&D department while the affected global platforms of the selling enterprise retained integrity throughout and after the separation process.
