WHY ORGANIZATIONS CHOOSE US
Toptal in Action
Discover the cutting-edge benefits our global clients enjoy from the Toptal network.
Toptal strategy consultants enable a Fortune 100 client to create a world-class product organization.
Challenge: A global commercial real estate company faced a significant organizational effectiveness challenge. The combination of a series of acquisitions and an outdated organizational design was inhibiting growth and increasing internal inefficiencies.
Solution: Toptal introduced a team of seasoned consultants and industry leaders who were able to quickly understand the client’s challenges, identify areas to reduce costs, and bring their expertise to bear to rapidly design a new, agile Target Operating Model (TOM).
Impact: The new TOM provided much-needed flexibility to the organization, while driving cross-functional collaboration across product, sales, delivery, and service teams. Implementing the new TOM drove up to 35% efficiency gains, improved employee engagement, and enabled industry-leading customer experiences.
Toptal helped us get to a better outcome, faster than anyone else could have. Their talent brought the right expertise for the job, without the overhead and costs that a traditional consultancy would bring.
