You are the chairman of the board of directors of a major global firm that just acquired Hewitt Associates. You have unlimited capital and resources at your disposal. You can change Hewitt any way you want; it's your company to do with as you please. What would you change? Sell Consulting to another firm? Keep Consulting but spin off HRO? Sell the whole company at its breakup value? Reorganize the firm? Buy another firm and merge its operations with Hewitt? Anything is fair game. It can be minor changes. Or, no changes at all. Maybe you'd take the firm in a whole new direction, starting a new line of business or something. Maybe you'd mix in insurance brokerage or investment management services. Maybe you'd go after smaller firms and move away from Fortune 500 firms. This is neither a pro-Hewitt or anti-Hewitt question; I'm sure we'd get equally interesting responses from both sides as well as from folks who are generally neutral about Hewitt.
