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.
