A platform for 13,000 consultants
Launching KPMG Cosmos, a platform used by around 13,000 consultants, and turning a €12M budget into more than €7.5M in annual recurring revenue.
The mandate
A professional services network wanted to turn advisory know-how into products: platforms its own consultants would use every day, and that member firms would pay for.
What I did
- Launched the platform. Brought KPMG Cosmos to around 13,000 consultants and expanded the internal assets around it.
- Kept the finances steady. Managed liquidity and contingency reserves for the programme, avoiding funding escalations with member firms.
- Aligned engineering. Established a federated engineering centre of excellence across five member firms to align product management practice and feature prioritisation.
- Productised advisory. Brought advisory offerings across four service lines to market through KPMG Ignite, a cloud-based AI and intelligent automation accelerator.
What changed
Cosmos generated more than €7.5M in annual recurring revenue on a €12M budget, and the expanded internal assets lifted utilisation by around 15%.
