Deciding to go - or not to go - on the basis of a solid business case, not a gut feeling.
Before launching a major transformation project (HRIS overhaul, payroll insourcing, multi-country consolidation, post-acquisition harmonisation), it is rare to have a clear picture of the expected value, total costs, and real risks involved. The decision is often made under the pressure of a committee meeting, without a substantiated opportunity dossier.
GBA Connect builds with you a costed, argued, and defensible opportunity dossier for your Executive Committee, Management Committee, or shareholders.
Who this offer is for
- You are considering a large-scale HRIS/Payroll transformation and need to make the case to your executive management or shareholders
- You have several scenarios on the table (stay the course, evolve, overhaul) and need to choose between them
- You are leading an insourcing, outsourcing, or payroll operating model change
- You are integrating new entities and need to decide on tool convergence
What we deliver
- Mapping of the current state: tools, processes, total costs (licences, ongoing operations, internal resources), quantified pain points
- Costed scenarios: 2 to 4 technical and organisational options, with high-level budget assumptions and an indicative timeline
- Comparative analysis: investment costs, recurring costs, expected benefits, risks per scenario, conditions for success
- Argued business case: return on investment, payback period, sensitivity to assumptions
- Ready-to-use decision dossier for the Executive Committee, Management Committee or board, with a reasoned recommendation
- Short-term action plan if the decision is approved: next steps, resources to mobilise, critical milestones
Client testimonials
"We were torn between evolving our current payroll system and starting from scratch. GBA Connect helped us objectify both scenarios on a comparable basis: total costs, risks, internal workload, realistic timeline. The Executive Committee made its decision within two weeks based on the dossier - after we had been going in circles for eight months."
- CFO, multi-site retail group - engagement delivered by the founding partners prior to the creation of GBA Connect
Success indicators
- A decision that has been made, documented, defensible, and traceable
- Scenarios built on comparable assumptions, not on vendors' claims
- A business case whose assumptions survive the implementation phase
- An aligned team - HR, Finance, IT, and General Management - on the path forward
Format & duration
A scoped engagement, typically between 6 and 10 weeks depending on the number of scenarios to assess and the availability of internal data. Fixed fee.
