Global Multi-Brand Enterprise: Centralize Support Operations First, or Preserve Decentralized Speed?
Current product policyLast updated August 25, 2026
Minerva judgment
Choose a small-scale centralization pilot on a single cross-brand support process: this captures causal signals on both cost and decision speed under reversible, limited risk, directly addressing the CEO's dual goals of efficiency and speed, without violating the constraint of 'not changing all brands/functions simultaneously.'

Human-controlled next action
Within one week, the Group CEO will designate one support function and brand combination as the pilot scope, and confirm a list of service quality, cycle time, and cost signals observable within four weeks.
What would reverse the recommendation
If, during the four-week pilot, the quantified signals for service quality, decision cycle, or cost referenced in U2 cannot be established (i.e., a verifiable causal chain as described in F5 remains absent), or brand leaders continue to report impaired responsiveness that cannot be attributed to factors outside the pilot itself, the pilot should be withdrawn. The team should restart from F3 and U1 to first clarify which specific support processes are truly causing duplication and delay, rather than proceeding to expand centralization.
