At a Glance

A Fortune 100 global consumer goods company embarked on a strategic spin-off exercise, divesting one of its business units to establish it as a new standalone entity. The company leveraged Agentnoon’s platform to model the spin-off, determining which functions, roles, capabilities, and departments would transition to the new business and which would remain with the parent company.

With over 100+ users collaborating in Agentnoon, the organization developed what-if scenarios and detailed plans for each department and geography, crafting a comprehensive roadmap for the transition from 2024 to 2027. The platform’s workforce forecasting capability enabled the company to assess fully loaded cost impacts and savings, creating both quarterly and annual forecasts to support informed decision-making.

Agentnoon is now partnering with the customer to build transformation tracking capabilities, allowing the company to monitor and manage outcomes for each wave of the spin-off. This ensures planned savings, headcount changes, and strategic goals are achieved over time.
