What he does at ISG

Scott Bertsch mentors and builds the confidence of his 120-person team across Australia, Asia, New Zealand and India so that they can help clients focus on what they do best, and in a cost effective, bottom-line-enhancing manner.

Past achievements for clients

• Delivering $129 Million in savings in three years for a $50 Billion managed care consortium. 

• Implementing a sourcing strategy and identifying invoice and inventory errors for a top 5 US bank. This resulted in renegotiated contracts with their primary telecom and network service providers, updated inventory and more than $15 Million in first-year invoice and inventory audit savings.

• Onboarding a major financial institution client for 20+ projects for their IT organization. Scott and his team retained a new business relationship—with the same number of projects—after the CIO of that original firm relocated to another firm and reached out for Scott’s and his team’s expertise.

• Taking a holistic approach, he led the review of the key 35 technology contracts for a top 20 US bank and drove more than $50 Million in savings over three years. 

What she does at ISG

Ola is a passionate thought leader in emerging delivery models that contemplate the rapidly changing technology landscape. She advises organizations in the opportunities related to emerging technologies, digital transformation, provider ecosystems, new ways of working, and the culture of product-oriented delivery. Ola is fluent in Adaptive Organizations, Digital Strategy, Sourcing, Enterprise Agility, DevOps, Cloud and modern architectures, helping clients evolve their technology landscape, operating models and cultures. Ola is ISG's Digital Lead for North Europe and a member of the European Leadership Team.

• She advised a partially transformed logistics company (that had a pervasive, costly architectural sprawl issue) to create standards, guardrails and integrated roadmaps to promote efficiency and velocity using what was currently working well. Ola helped spark synergies among the teams impacted, and in only eight weeks, teams saw as much as a 200% increase in their throughput.

• On a tight deadline and limited budget, she applied Agile and modern delivery model principles to convert a brick-and-mortar's business model (with legacy systems and cumbersome practices that were seemingly incompatible with a more collaborative way of working) into a modern digital setting.
