THE CHALLANGE
Kanbay (Kanbay International, Inc.) was a successful, US/Indian-origin global IT services firm, known for serving financial industries, founded in 1989 and acquired by French tech giant Capgemini in 2006, effectively ceasing independent operations but continuing within Capgemini's structure. Rob Beck, principal consultant for Better Business Coaching, was asked to assist the management of the Australian and New Zealand operation. The Australian management team had lost some focus and cohesion after the original founders had exited the business.
THE SOLUTION
Through team building and individual coaching sessions, he was able to bring the team back on track. The outcome was the successful contribution to an initial public offering (IPO) for Kanbay, which subsequently listed on the NASDAQ. Rob was subsequently invited to work with the HQ management team based in Chicago, USA, heading up the worldwide government business channel.

"Rob's experience and knowledge in building businesses was the pivotal point - we didn't just grow we built a cohesive forward-looking team."
