Streamlining agency collaboration for efficiency, alignment, and strategic impact.
A global organization faced significant challenges with its fragmented approach to managing external agencies. This disjointed strategy led to inefficiencies, wasted budget, and inconsistent deliverables that undermined strategic priorities. Without standardized processes for evaluating agency performance, providing feedback, and ensuring governance, the organization struggled with misaligned expectations and failed to maximize the value of its agency partnerships. Recognizing these issues, the organization sought a clear and cohesive strategy to enhance agency performance and streamline collaboration.
To address these challenges, we conducted a thorough review of the organization’s agency ecosystem, including stakeholder interviews and an in-depth analysis of existing processes. Based on these insights, we designed a governance framework to guide agency engagement, selection, and performance evaluation. Additionally, we created tools to facilitate structured feedback and performance tracking, ensuring accountability and alignment. A centralized onboarding and review process was established to provide clarity and consistency in managing agency relationships. To ensure adoption, we facilitated workshops to secure buy-in from key stakeholders and trained teams on implementing the new framework.

The implementation of the new framework delivered transformative results. Consolidating agency partnerships reduced redundancies and achieved significant cost savings, driving efficiency across the organization. The structured feedback mechanism fostered stronger communication and collaboration, enabling agencies to deliver more impactful and aligned work. By integrating a governance framework, the organization achieved greater strategic alignment, ensuring that agency outputs consistently supported business goals. The ongoing evaluation processes established a foundation for continuous improvement, empowering the organization to sustain and enhance its agency relationships. These changes fundamentally transformed the agency ecosystem, driving better resource utilization, stronger partnerships, and measurable business growth.
