[title] => Strategic Transformation Consulting
[body] =>
Deregulation, globalisation, convergence, disruptive technology and new business models, as well as changing customer demands require traditional fixed operators and mobile operators to adopt wider transformation strategies in order to stay competitive and survive.
In many mature and emerging markets, these telecom operators embark on a similar transformation journey to B through the transformation of their business across infrastructure, systems, processes, portfolio, and people under a unified strategy.
Getting the transformation strategy right is paramount to the long-term success of the business. Understanding how to translate that strategy into measureable outcomes and benefits is an even greater challenge, often requiring enhancements to both an operator’s capability to manage change and its capacity for managing change. We leverage the expertise and experience that BT has accumulated in transforming itself from a traditional incumbent operator into a global networked IT services company.
We take a holistic approach to strategic transformation. Key focus areas of our work with telecom operators includes:
Company Transformation
We can help by defining a transformation roadmap that sets out the path to achieve new strategic goals that can be used to communicate wuth stakeholders and gain their agreement and support. Following this we can provide detailed strategic plans that define specific and practical changes needed to fulfill the transformation vision; this can be considered to be the ‘agenda for change’. Finally we can help by defining, preparing and enabling a supporting transformation programme structure, team and processes: the ‘engine of change’. The dual challenge is to create a new capability that pushes transformation-scale change into the business and to prepare the leadership necessary to pull transformational change into the business.
M&A Support
Inorganic growth opportunities present themselves in a cyclical pattern, for example as a result of disruptive technology or as a wave of industry consolidation follows a wave of liberalization. The hazards of M&A are well documented; envisaged synergies can be elusive in practice and planned cost savings often fail to materialize. The telco sector is not immune from these risks, yet a number of successes have been seen in the last two decades. BT has accumulated experience from over 20 successful M&A activities (plus many more that were begun but not completed), initially focused on telco operators but more recently looking at IT companies to complement our ICT growth strategy. This experience is available through Telconsult’s M&A Support Practice to help telecom operators de-risk their inorganic growth strategies, plans and implementations.
Regulatory Advice
C Changes in the regulatory environment can pose extensive threats or create significant opportunities for telecom operators' strategies and business models. Incumbent operators in particular ought to have a regulatory strategy and framework including a regulatory risk map as part of their corporate strategy. To offer you support as a trusted advisor, BT Telconsult looks to BT's extensive experience operating in the first deregulated and most competitive marketplace for telecoms services worldwide. Topics include functional and structural separation, understanding regulatory accounting and LRIC models for interconnection, regulation on next-generation networks and services, and obtaining new licenses.
Start Up Support
Technological advances and regulatory policies provide continuing opportunities to new entrants, or for established players to start up operations in a new geography. Such endeavours often require highly specialized expertise on strict timelines, for example completion of a license bid may require demonstration of business planning, technical design and financial modeling as part of the submission document in short timescales with no second chance. External investors often appreciate the presence of an experience operator in the start up team to build confidence in the practicality of the start up’s business plan. BT Telconsult is ideally placed to respond quickly and effectively to the needs of clients tp help them acquire licenses, gain support from investors and build the new organisation.

Deregulation, globalisation, convergence, disruptive technology and new business models, as well as changing customer demands require traditional fixed operators and mobile operators to adopt wider transformation strategies in order to stay competitive and survive.
In many mature and emerging markets, these telecom operators embark on a similar transformation journey to B through the transformation of their business across infrastructure, systems, processes, portfolio, and people under a unified strategy.
Getting the transformation strategy right is paramount to the long-term success of the business. Understanding how to translate that strategy into measureable outcomes and benefits is an even greater challenge, often requiring enhancements to both an operator’s capability to manage change and its capacity for managing change. We leverage the expertise and experience that BT has accumulated in transforming itself from a traditional incumbent operator into a global networked IT services company.
We take a holistic approach to strategic transformation. Key focus areas of our work with telecom operators includes:
Company Transformation
We can help by defining a transformation roadmap that sets out the path to achieve new strategic goals that can be used to communicate wuth stakeholders and gain their agreement and support. Following this we can provide detailed strategic plans that define specific and practical changes needed to fulfill the transformation vision; this can be considered to be the ‘agenda for change’. Finally we can help by defining, preparing and enabling a supporting transformation programme structure, team and processes: the ‘engine of change’. The dual challenge is to create a new capability that pushes transformation-scale change into the business and to prepare the leadership necessary to pull transformational change into the business.
M&A Support
Inorganic growth opportunities present themselves in a cyclical pattern, for example as a result of disruptive technology or as a wave of industry consolidation follows a wave of liberalization. The hazards of M&A are well documented; envisaged synergies can be elusive in practice and planned cost savings often fail to materialize. The telco sector is not immune from these risks, yet a number of successes have been seen in the last two decades. BT has accumulated experience from over 20 successful M&A activities (plus many more that were begun but not completed), initially focused on telco operators but more recently looking at IT companies to complement our ICT growth strategy. This experience is available through Telconsult’s M&A Support Practice to help telecom operators de-risk their inorganic growth strategies, plans and implementations.
Regulatory Advice
C Changes in the regulatory environment can pose extensive threats or create significant opportunities for telecom operators' strategies and business models. Incumbent operators in particular ought to have a regulatory strategy and framework including a regulatory risk map as part of their corporate strategy. To offer you support as a trusted advisor, BT Telconsult looks to BT's extensive experience operating in the first deregulated and most competitive marketplace for telecoms services worldwide. Topics include functional and structural separation, understanding regulatory accounting and LRIC models for interconnection, regulation on next-generation networks and services, and obtaining new licenses.
Start Up Support
Technological advances and regulatory policies provide continuing opportunities to new entrants, or for established players to start up operations in a new geography. Such endeavours often require highly specialized expertise on strict timelines, for example completion of a license bid may require demonstration of business planning, technical design and financial modeling as part of the submission document in short timescales with no second chance. External investors often appreciate the presence of an experience operator in the start up team to build confidence in the practicality of the start up’s business plan. BT Telconsult is ideally placed to respond quickly and effectively to the needs of clients tp help them acquire licenses, gain support from investors and build the new organisation.
