MELBOURNE, Australia and BENGALURU, India, April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- UST, a leading digital transformation solutions company, today announced that it has acquired Strativity Group, a boutique strategy consultancy specialising in customer-centric transformations. Strativity is renowned for delivering customer experience strategy, design, innovation, change management, and operating models through adopting an insight-led approach that creates competitive advantage and tangible value creation.
UST and Strativity share a common vision of empowering client growth by creating and activating meaningful experiences for customers, employees, and partners. By bringing together Stativity's customer-centric advisory credentials and UST's domain, process, and technical expertise at a global scale, UST believes it will be well positioned to help clients navigate the complexities of the ever-evolving business landscape to meet customer expectations and drive tangible business outcomes.
"Everyone at Strativity is excited to join the UST family. With our shared values and credentials, we intend to continue raising the bar as we combine customer strategy, research, and design advisory with domain and technical expertise to accelerate our clients' competitive and experiential edge in the ANZ region," said Brad Meehan, Managing Director, Strativity.
