For strategic reasons, the parent company of this client wanted to carve-out the exchange traded derivatives (ETD) unit that was focussing on energy products prior to the sale of its subsidiary. Beyond the carve-out, the client was also required to integrate and normalise the unit within exsisting operations.
What did we do?
The project focused on the analysis and then subsequent prioritisation of open regulatory, organisational, technical and operational aspects for the normalisation phase that would immediately follow the carve-out (including the design of a Target Operating Model, required in light of the further, full integration). Underlying processes and functions needed to be documented and analysed, including key operating procedures for teams in Front Office, Change-the-Bank, Run-the-Bank and IT.
Project tasks also included the definition of job descriptions and the overall organisational set-up within the new environment. ::projective also worked closely with the client to define and develop a business contingency management plan, accompanied by initial drafts for Service Level Agreements (SLA) / Clearing Service Agreements (CSA).
