Conclusions
Conclusions
You & Us
Company had significant strengths to supports its extensive and profound change
Its cross-business collaboration and client focus differentiated UBS from the rest of the filed.
Only partial buy-in of UBS’s management & employees remained a significant challenge.Overall strategic change that UBS underwent was successful, however some parts of strategy implementation were not managed properly.
