Alcatel-Lucent is a leading global telecom equipment company with a proud history that can be traced back to 1869. It was formed into its present shape in 2006 by combining two entities, Alcatel and Lucent Technologies. The company focuses on fixed, mobile, and converged networking hardware, IP technologies, software and services, with operations in more than 130 countries with a global workforce of more than 52,000 employees. Alcatel-Lucent’s market capitalization as of December 31, 2014

is €8.3 billion.

In 2013, in the context of digital disruption and intense cost pressures from emerging competitors, Alcatel-Lucent launched The Shift Plan. Its main objective was to return to profitability and reach a sustainable & innovative business model in 18 months. A key component of the Shift plan was to reduce annual operating costs by €1 billion over three years.

HR has been a key player within The Shift Plan, supporting all other areas of the business to achieve their Shift objectives while also needing to meet its own objective to reduce HR Operating costs by 30%. HR Leadership recognised that this dramatic cost reduction should  be transformed into an opportunity to Modernize HR.

This HR Transformation included the globalization and simplification of 15 HR processes, the transfer of transactional activities to a shared services provider, the redeployment of retained HR onto business partnership and expert roles, the enablement of People Managers as “Talent Managers” and the deployment of self-service capabilities for employees and people managers.

“We decided to transform this cost reduction program into a modernization program,” said Laurent Geoffroy, Alcatel-Lucent’s Vice President, HR Transformation. “To achieve that, we need a strong partner…a partner able to help us reengineer our process, to redefine the role and responsibility of HR, a partner who is able to deploy for us a cloud-based solution, and a partner who is able to take some of our operating activities in HR and to manage them on our behalf through their HR activities.”

”What we achieved is absolutely incredible,” Laurent Geoffroy concluded. “Accenture has been a wonderful partner to manage that situation and to help us to sort all of that out within the two years.”
