Whereas fewer than ten people had the skillset to execute the manual data modeling process, around 200 consultants will now be able to utilize the UI and digital platform for qualified client engagements. Because of this project, not only can more people perform data analysis, but the time it takes is expedited—roughly cut in half.
Rather than having to first dive into a fully manual data science process, consultants can now upload a sales file, complete a form to execute different scenarios, and then display potential outcomes via dashboards. Consultants with specialized programming skills can be utilized more effectively by focusing on those engagements that require heavier customization.
AlixPartners can take on significantly more engagements this way. The solutions have
- Relieved the bottleneck of relying on a small number of people to engage new potential clients
- Empowered more people with the data to use it to show possibilities for clients, reserving those specialized team members for engagements that really need those skills
- Given AlixPartners the ability to show value for their clients more quickly upfront
