Mphasis Limited
Mphasis ltd is organized around accounts, not by traditional vertical/horizontals. There is not the traditional matrix structure of vertical/ horizontals/geos that can weigh down decision-making. This means that Mphasis’ GTM is aligned along the customer as the basic unit and resource allocation is done at a granular level of the customer. This creates improved agility and responsiveness.
The client-centric agile org design enables Mphasis to successfully focus on account depth reflected in an improving average revenue per client. The depth over breadth positioning also means Mphasis makes more considered choices regarding its new clients by shortlisting and targeting those clients that can scale. This is bearing fruit as can be seen in the scale-up of Top-5/10 clients over a sustained time period. The growth engine has got diversified through FY22 with clients outside the Top-10 also on a strong double-digit growth trajectory.
Mphasis ltd has four clients which contributed >US$100 million in annual revenue (FY22). Finally, innovation in delivering technology solutions is not possible without the requisite talent transformation. Mphasis has an effective talent transformation approach appropriate with the new gen positioning.
Talent Next
‘Talent Next’ offers an established, scalable extensive training program that organically trains, certifies and deploys employees in new gen areas. This aligns delivery capability with GTM/sales and current/future client priorities. Talent Next builds up skill muscle for transformation.
Talent Next nicely facilitates absorbing freshers/ less experienced employees into projects. It is quite versatile in meeting the training and upgradation needs of the diverse workforce of varying skills, backgrounds, and experience. Key building blocks that help drive Mphasis’ growth and ensure its sustainability include creating and cultivating talent, executing large transformative programs, addressable market expansion (organic and inorganic), reimagining business models (e.g., migration to as-aservice provisioning models) and staying at the forefront of next gen tech using the Tribes and the surrounding ecosystem.
