Challenges

Market pressure pushing commodity prices down to historically low levels, affecting overall profitability and business resiliency.

Solutions

• Hatch deployed subject matter experts across the client’s operating and shared service departments.
• The entire organization, from the C-suite to the equipment operators were mapped and compared against industry best-practice staffing levels and compared using optimal organizational charts or “white sheets.”
• Reduction opportunities were prioritized based on capital, risk, and time required to implement.

Highlights

• A rigorous, bottom-up process was followed and identified a 15-25% role-reduction opportunity across operating and shared services divisions.
• Leadership alignment was achieved for a portion of the role reductions thereby limiting executive decision mandates and fostering change ownership.
• Cumulative project reductions estimated to have an NPV in excess of $30M with a payback period of less than two years.
