With a focus on creating value for its shareholders, customers, and employees, this global real estate firm wanted to invest in digital transformation initiatives in the areas of customer experience and automation to improve operations.
With multiple digital transformation initiatives in the queue, the firm needed a highly skilled program manager to define the vision and a roadmap to tie them together to ensure success. The director of the transformation initiatives didn’t need a full-time hire for the project, but rather a strategic expert for a projected four-month assignment. So he decided to look for a more flexible, nimble approach to hiring top talent.
The director decided to adopt a staff augmentation model that would provide strategic support for the transformation initiatives. After investigating the options, the director turned to Graphite’s proven on-demand talent platform to obtain an independent consultant who could manage all the moving parts of the transformation initiatives.
Upon contacting Graphite, the Director was matched with a dedicated account manager who explained how Graphite’s platform would seamlessly connect the company with a curated shortlist of experienced individuals drawn from its pool of over 10,000 independent experts for the strategic role managing the transformation initiatives.
Graphite made the entire talent acquisition process easy and uncomplicated. With its AI-powered features, the account manager identified multiple candidates for the role, personally meeting with the most qualified and then presented the shortlist to the Director. With its in-app messaging and meeting room features, communication with the candidates was effortless. The company was even able to conduct live virtual interviews within the platform.
The smooth, professional and cost-effective collaboration with Graphite enabled the leading global real estate firm to execute multiple digital transformation initiatives to improve operations in last mile logistics. By adapting a nimble approach to access talent, the company was able to onboard an experienced strategy consultant with a Ph.D. in environmental science and data analysis to create an actionable plan for its vision of transformation to drive future growth.
Over the course of the project, the company received detailed project tracking on the Graphite platform, including deliverables completed, tasks performed, and the work hours submitted. And with Graphite’s project check-in tool, the company received an additional layer of support and guidance to ensure the success of the project every step of the way.
Due to the success of the partnership and effective results, the global real estate firm has hired five additional independent experts via Graphite’s platform to facilitate the execution of the digital transformation initiatives.
