Industry: Aerospace Company Focus: Organization Design, Benchmarking and Sourcing Strategy
Capstan worked with the corporate real estate group of an aerospace giant to evaluate the pros and cons of centralizing global real estate and project management for six operating divisions and 70 million square feet of space. We provided an industry perspective on best practices by summarizing organization models from ten other Fortune 100 global companies including strengths and weaknesses of each model. We helped build consensus for change by quantifying the potential benefits of cross utilization of space and volume discounts on service provider contracts. Next, we studied the market for transaction rebates by benchmarking the proposed contract against eight similar contracts, including the value of consulting services often delivered at little or no cost to major clients. We then assisted in negotiating a transaction management outsourcing contract to support the implementation of the first phase of the reorganization.
