Case Study

Professionalizing the Pricing Center of Excellence organization set-up

How we helped a financial infrastructure provider  restructure its pricing function 

Opportunity/Issue

A leading Financial Market Infrastructure provider aimed to strengthen its pricing function to meet growing business demands.

Our client, a leading Financial Market Infrastructure provider with $2 billion in annual revenue, aimed to strengthen its pricing function to meet growing business demands. While it had a pricing team, it lacked a clear mandate and did not have an optimal structure or sufficient resources to operate at scale.

The client wanted to make the pricing team more effective by creating a strategic, long-term revenue management operating model that fits the company’s desired target operating model (TOM).

Approach/Solution

We implemented an overarching pricing function, restructured the team, and built the necessary capabilities to support strategic decision-making.

During our collaboration, we implemented an overarching pricing function, restructured the team, and built the necessary capabilities to support strategic decision-making. To do this, we followed four steps:

1. Aligned on approach and mission

2. Established a comprehensive pricing framework and policy

3. Transitioned to strategic pricing

4. Built future-ready competencies

We started by defining a clearer mission for the pricing function, positioning it as a center of "thought leadership" within the organization. This redefined mission emphasized the need for the Pricing Center of Excellence (CoE) to drive strategic decision-making and deliver long-term value rather than simple tactical measures.

A new and comprehensive pricing framework with long-term goals and clearly defined ownership of core processes helped bring consistency and transparency across the organization. These guidelines enabled a unified, globally aligned pricing approach.

We recommended more senior leadership roles and team expansion to transition from ad-hoc price management to a strategic pricing TOM. Finally, we outlined a roadmap to continually strengthen the team’s competencies as the organization’s scale and scope expand through 2025.
