Case Study

Divestment discovery
and execution

Challenge

With no prior divestment experience, the client needed to identify, coordinate, and manage the full spectrum of separation activities. Key challenges included understanding the scope of required services, defining system and data ownership, and ensuring business continuity throughout the transition.

Our Solution

We led the initiative with a focused discovery phase, during which we developed a customized Divestment Blueprint—a foundational tool that mapped all separation-related activities and timelines. This Blueprint became the basis for the Transition Services Agreement (TSA), aligning all stakeholders on the scope, responsibilities, and service delivery expectations.

 

Key Blueprint Components:

 

  • Network infrastructure separation
  • Application/system ownership and gap analysis
  • Data ownership clarification and migration planning
  • Contract identification and renegotiation
  • Facilities handover coordination
  • HR and payroll management (including TUPE compliance)
  • Exit strategy and governance structure

Execution & Delivery

Using the Divestment Blueprint, we mobilized a cross-functional team to deliver against the TSA. Our experts worked in close collaboration with the buyer’s team, facilitating daily task management and ensuring consistent communication. Reporting lines were established into the C-suite, enabling transparent oversight and timely decision-making.

Results

  • Successful completion of the client’s first divestment
  • All separation activities delivered on time and within scope
  • Minimized operational disruption across global sites
  • Strong alignment between buyer and seller through structured governance
  • Established a repeatable model for future divestments

Conclusion

Our proven divestment approach, combined with hands-on execution and executive-level engagement, enabled the client to achieve its capital-raising objectives efficiently while laying the foundation for scalable future divestment activity.
