Strategic Turnaround Through Technology Partnership

Problem

A 20-year-old contact centre business faced existential pressure from AI-driven disruption.

Strategic Trade-off

Sell while the business still had value vs. partner and bet on repositioning.

Intervention

Structured a performance-based technology alliance, avoiding large upfront capital outlay.

Outcome

Repositioned into AI-enabled services, expanded into the U.S., grew revenue roughly sixfold.

Lessons

  • The instinct to sell under threat isn’t always wrong — but rarely the first thing worth testing.
  • Performance-based terms protect you if the promise doesn’t fully land.
