The Brief

Over a period of time RB strategically acquired a number of businesses globally, resulting in an extremely fragmented IS function. The CIO was tasked with driving innovation and transforming IS into one shared service to support the Global business. Due to the size and scale of RB, Uniting Ambition were presented with a number of challenges around culture, integration of existing business units and availability of talent.

Uniting Ambition were retained by RB’s IS Director to initially support the creation of an Enterprise Architecture function, allowing the rationalisation of its outsource partners to one key supplier.

The Result

Uniting Ambition initially worked closely with the IS Director and HR Business Partner to help build a highly influential Enterprise Architecture function. Following the success of this partnership, we delivered a number of key interim and permanent roles within RB.

This has included the placements of:

• IS Supply Chain Directors
• IS R&D Directors
• IS Technical Services Directors
• Programme Managers
• Architects
• Project Managers
• Business Analysts
• Service Delivery Managers
• Global Licensing Managers
• PMO Managers

RB’s strategic programmes are still in flight and we continue to support their talent strategy.
