Case Study

Sand Cherry developed a plan to reorganize for a major cable operator's Customer Care group, including the integration of a recently acquired Care organization. Our focus was on increasing efficiency and optimizing resources, and the project included employee skill set assessments, identification of resource gaps, and detailed cost/budget analysis. Our recommendations led to implementation of a new, more streamlined and customer-focused organization.
