Why it works
The case study earns its Turnaround tag because the before-state is vivid and specific: payroll inaccuracies every cycle, three years blocked from making basic system changes, and candidates lost to competitors in the final hiring stretch. The eight-months, eight-countries, in-house implementation is a credible reversal that the story supports with concrete cost and timeline figures. The internal award nomination adds a human detail that makes the transformation feel real rather than vendor-scripted.
Steal this
Anchor the turnaround with a single, embarrassing duration stat ('stalled for three years') before revealing the reversal timeline ('eight countries in eight months'). The contrast does the emotional work without needing hyperbole.
