Success Stories #3
Transforming Enterprise Services into a $4B Strategic Business
Driving Service Consolidation and Financial Performance at Enterprise Scale
Unlocking Enterprise Value from Disconnected Service Organizations
A multinational enterprise operated fragmented service organizations across product divisions, limiting visibility, consistency, and enterprise value. To address this, services were consolidated under a unified governance and financial model—creating transparency, improving customer experience, and unlocking high-margin growth.

Challenges
A Fragmented Services Model Limiting Enterprise Value
Independent service organizations, inconsistent processes, and lack of financial visibility prevented the enterprise from scaling services as a strategic business.
Service organizations operated independently with no unified governance or enterprise alignment.
Revenue, margins, and performance data were fragmented and difficult to consolidate across divisions.
Customers were forced to engage with multiple service entities, each with different processes and contracts.
Lack of consistent service metrics made performance difficult to measure and improve.
High-value service capabilities existed but were not scaled or commercialized across the enterprise.
Long-standing independence of service organizations created resistance to consolidation and change.

Actions Taken:
Establishing Enterprise Service Governance
Triplett created a unified governance model that defined roles, responsibilities, and decision rights across the new services organization. This structure aligned service delivery with enterprise objectives while maintaining close collaboration with product divisions.
Creating Financial Transparency and Performance Visibility
He conducted a comprehensive analysis of service revenue, margins, and cost structures across all divisions. This work revealed previously hidden financial performance and enabled leadership to manage services as a cohesive business.
Standardizing Service Delivery and Customer Engagement
Triplett introduced standardized processes for quoting, contracting, service delivery, and cash collection. These improvements simplified customer engagement, reduced operational friction, and improved service consistency across regions and product lines.
Building Strong Partnerships with Product Divisions
He established collaborative operating mechanisms with product division leaders to ensure that the consolidated services organization supported product strategies while operating with enterprise level efficiency and discipline.
Harvesting and Scaling High Value Intellectual Property
Triplett identified proprietary service capabilities that had been developed within individual divisions but never scaled. By formalizing and commercializing these capabilities, the enterprise created new service offerings with exceptionally high margins.
Creating a Unified Services Business Unit
He led the formation of a new enterprise services division with clear leadership, governance, financial accountability, and operational processes. This structure enabled the organization to manage services as a strategic business rather than a collection of independent functions.
