We work with clients across a broad range of industries, with the ability to call on a global network of independent professionals with diverse experience. We match the right people and the right approach to your specific needs. Below are some examples of our recent client work.
INSURANCE INDUSTRY
Executive GM, Customer Division
The scope
We were selected to work with an ASX-listed insurance company to execute their growth strategy. Our role was to model a go-to-market plan to achieve their growth target within 3 years, and embed new ways of working with their teams.
The approach
We established a Transformation Office comprising our own Corpus team members as well as business leaders from across the company. Using organisational psychology methods we were able to create an effective governance structure. We reviewed current processes, identified gaps in capabilities, and filled those gaps where required.
Collectively, we revised the initial growth target to a more realistic stretch level, and empowered the business units to take ownership of their own targets. While the teams had initially questioned the targets, our approach involved them in the process and got them excited about the new opportunities ahead.

FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY
Chief, Strategy & Transformation
The scope
The CEO of a large financial services company faced a disconnect between the firm’s customer-led strategy and the actual execution across his business. Our goal was to re-design the company’s ways of working to align activities to the most critical goals, break down functional silos and remove operational blockers.
The approach
We used a root-cause analysis/lean methods to understand the underlying issues that were driving current processes and behaviours. We then set up a new governance model to empower the workforce by allocating decision-making authority at the right level in the organisation. We also improved communication between the C-level and the manager community to create more transparency.

MEDIA INDUSTRY
Chief People and Culture Officer
The scope
A large media company faced significant cost pressures due to changes in the market. After five years of attempts at incremental cost reduction programs with limited success, Corpus partnered with the Chief Financial Officer, Chief People Officer, Chief Revenue Officer and other senior executives to review activity-based costs, assess revenue drivers and allocating resources accordingly. We also explored new growth adjacencies.
The approach
We set up a Transformation Office with three workstreams – one focused on activity-based costing, one on immediate revenue opportunities and one on growth adjacencies. The team was co-led by an internal Director of Transformation and our industry experts. We worked closely with digital and sales teams to analyse data and find practical solutions. We also engaged a wide range of global experts from Corpus’ network to explore growth opportunities and identify potential investment opportunities.
