Service Brief:
Customer Requirement - Transform the Canadian services division of a global insurance company, with the goal of removing project risk and IT risk from the corporate risk chart, enabling further investment in the Canadian market.
Manta Solution - The Manta Group assigned a partner to deliver the transformation strategy using CobiIT as the methodology for transformation. The desired state was based on eight business demands that were mapped to the appropriate CobiT control objectives. A current-state analysis was conducted to determine the priorities for transformation based on the gaps. The Manta Group then deployed teams to support the development of the Project Management Office. A separate team was deployed to evolve service management practices. Risk management as a practice was introduced and implemented. A number of other initiatives were implemented by third parties. The net result was that project risk and IT risk were removed from the corporate risk chart, and investment in Canada is ongoing.
