Our client is a leading global technology company operating across diverse business units and geographies. One of their divisions manages high-stakes executive meetings that guide strategic planning, technology development, and cross-functional alignment. These forums are critical to business operations but they were hampered by complex, manual processes and disconnected tools.
Without a unified system, managing meeting logistics, documentation, access controls, and action tracking became a time-intensive, error-prone process. Information was scattered across spreadsheets, emails, and local drives making it difficult to scale and maintain governance, visibility, and agility.

Operational Challenges Faced by the Client
The client faced several core operational challenges:
- Disjointed Tools & Processes: Key activities such as scheduling, access control, content management, and follow-up tracking were managed using disparate platforms without integration, relying heavily on Excel files as makeshift databases.
- Manual Workload & Scalability Issues: The lack of automation created inefficiencies, redundancies, and bottlenecks. Repeated data entry, poor version control, and delays in documentation all limited productivity and compliance.
- Limited Visibility & Oversight: Leadership lacked a centralized view of meetings, participants, strategic initiatives, and outcomes reducing the ability to drive insights and take timely action.
How We Solved the Client’s Executive Workflow Challenges
To address these issues, Nextant implemented a structured, collaborative engagement that combined process optimization, intelligent automation, and user-first design. The initiative began with a comprehensive discovery phase involving:
- Stakeholder interviews to identify user needs and pain points
- Process audits to uncover inefficiencies and redundancies
- Tool assessments to evaluate functionality, limitations, and integration gaps
This diagnostic approach gave us a 360-degree view of the client’s operational landscape and informed the design of a tailored solution. Explore more client success stories and insights
