Rapid X : Providing strategic client advice
Rapid X has been working with life sciences and consumer care company , Croda , for several years , recently supporting partner selection , structuring evaluation criteria and market engagement .
As a result , Rapid X has developed a clear understanding of Croda ’ s business operations and culture to help the company with its digital transformation strategies .
“ Our strategic advisory service complemented something Croda identified as critical ,” Neil explains . “ But it had a dual purpose – selecting the best partner aligned with Croda ’ s culture to work hand-in-hand with internal stakeholders , setting up for the best chance of success from the outset .”
Empowering enterprise digital transformation
With Croda , Rapid X is prioritising programmes that focus on transparency and traceability by having a centralised integrated platform . The goal is to empower everyone involved to stay aligned and make better decisions .
Moving forward , Neil explains that Rapid X will continue supporting Croda ’ s unique and evolving needs , managing vendor relationships , ensuring the suitability of Croda ’ s design and delivery and assisting in finding necessary skills within the organisation .
“ This is a multi-year , long-term transformation so we intend to be there in the long-term , making sure everyone stays accountable to the delivery of what matters .”
