The two Change assignments at DHL involved developing and implementing a strategy to globalise the IS Finance Function across DHL worldwide. The main objectives were to provide full finance visibility of DHL’s total investment in IT, to introduce Chargeback of IT costs to the business on a ‘value to the business’ basis and to facilitate a progressive reduction in the total cost of IT. Together, the two assignments took four years to complete.
