I discussed the significance of Mission and Vision statements in an elevator pitch and how sellers can capture the audience's attention through storytelling. Today, let me showcase how some companies have successfully implemented these strategies. I will use examples from four companies: Microsoft, McKinsey, ADA, and Merkle. I will analyze these case studies across five dimensions outlined in my previous articles: Situations, Challenges, Big Questions, Solutions, and Business Impacts. It is essential to focus on quantifiable Business Impacts when evaluating these cases.
Microsoft - Johnson & Johnson Case Study in the United States
Situation: Johnson & Johnson’s ambition is to transform its business using intelligent automation to enhance employee capabilities.
Challenge: Efficiently creating chatbots while ensuring compliance with global standards.
Solution: Adopting a Microsoft Azure-based chatbot framework for rapid, cost-effective development.
Result: Notable reduction in development time and cost, enhanced data access, and plans for extensive chatbot deployment.
Observation: While the summary successfully highlights the strategic approach and benefits, it lacks quantifiable business outcomes, like cost savings or developer time reduced.
Mckinsey - Kiwibank Case Study in New Zealand
Situation: Kiwibank’s drive to modernize its technology and banking services.
Challenge: Updating legacy systems and adopting new cloud technologies.
Solution: A strategic roadmap emphasizing modern cloud capabilities and legacy tech improvements.
Result: Improved customer and team experiences, operational efficiency, financial growth (70% customer interaction, 6x downtime improvement, 7% annual profit growth).
Observation: McKinsey's summary stands out with clear, quantifiable results and customer testimonials, offering a comprehensive view of the project's success.
ADA - A Heavy Manufacturer Case Study in India
Situation: A manufacturing company in India needing improved plant operations.
Challenge: Predicting performance decay in heat exchangers and steam consumption.
Solution: Implementing Yield-Energy Throughput analytics with data analysis and machine learning.
Result: Over 93% accuracy in predicting steam consumption, leading to operational efficiency and revenue increase.
Observation: ADA’s summary impresses with its high accuracy rate, yet further elaboration on how this translates to business savings would enhance its impact.
Merkle - An Entertainment Company Case Study (Funlab in Australia)
Situation: Funlab’s goal to enhance online marketing through data insights.
Challenge: Translating physical experiences to digital, optimizing customer journeys, and effective data utilization.
Solution: Modular CMS implementation and booking flow optimization with Salesforce integration.
Result: 100% online visit improvement, 200% revenue growth, 69% online conversion enhancement.
Observation: Merkle's case study is rich in detail and provides impressive, specific metrics, highlighting substantial improvements across key business areas.
Conclusion
Each of these summaries provides unique insights into the companies' problem-solving approaches and result delivery. While all demonstrate effective summarization skills, McKinsey and Merkle particularly excel in providing quantifiable results, offering a deeper understanding of their project's impact.
However, it's worth noting that the audience may desire more detailed information about the Merkle solution and approach, as it appears quite remarkable. Providing additional context and specifics would enhance the audience's understanding and credibility of the solution.
