Oliver Wyman partnered with Satellite in 2021 to build an offshore team that could assist its client delivery efforts, with a particular focus on the Microsoft Power Platform. The Satellite team works hand-in-hand with OW consultants and their clients, implementing technical tools to streamline and enhance consulting engagements.
Key Challenges
In the dynamic world of global management consulting, Oliver Wyman needed long-term staff dedicated to managing a complex PowerBI project. Rather than staffing this internally (with consultants that want frequent change), OW worked with Satellite to find talented offshore staff.
1
Diverse Stakeholders
Navigating a complex ecosystem of various internal consulting teams and external clients, requiring a "consultative mindset" to effectively translate strategic business goals into technical data solutions.
2
PowerBI Specialization
Sourcing niche technical talent with deep expertise in the Microsoft Power Platform to execute complex data visualization and implementation tasks that went beyond the skills of generalist consultants.
3
Long-Term Engagement
Building a stable, dedicated team focused on long-term project execution and maintenance, which helps avoid high staff turnover.
Solution
Consultative Mindset
To successfully partner with Oliver Wyman, it was critical that Satellite identify team members that harbor the same analytical and problem-solving mindset that makes OW a global leader in strategic thinking.
PowerBI Specialists
The OW-Satellite team members needed to blend this consultative approach with a hard-skill specialization in PowerBI, which is where the day-to-day implementation work was needed to assist OW’s consulting projects.
Extension of Internal Team
Given the existing Client-Consultant relationships that OW has, we needed to avoid the complexity another vendor could bring. Instead, we worked to integrate our team within OW, ensuring that we operated as a seamless extension.
Technical Stack
The OW-Satellite team works primarily within the Microsoft Power Platform, with a particular focus on PowerBI for analytics and reporting and Power Automate (formerly Flow) to automate workflows and actions.
