Aon announced its plan to bring the benefits of its Aon United growth strategy closer to clients around the world.

It will accelerate and expand its Delivering Aon United program to set a common standard for client leadership and create client service hubs, powered by its Aon Business Services platform, that will support back and middle-office services across the firm. To support more effective Aon United operations, the firm will also establish a common model for its shared services, including marketing & communications, human resources, legal and finance.

The Delivering Aon United program leverages best practices from around the world to create a common client leadership strategy that will further increase collaboration across solution lines, improve sales effectiveness, strengthen segmentation strategy and make it easier for colleagues to deliver maximum value to clients.

Personnel change

In other news, Aon announced that two leaders have chosen to pursue new opportunities. John Zern, CEO of health solutions and North America, commercial risk, and Cary Grace, CEO of retirement solutions and head of M&A integration, are leaving the firm.

Aon co-presidents Michael O'Connor and Eric Andersen will absorb their responsibilities, with O'Connor overseeing health solutions and Andersen taking on responsibility for retirement solutions.

"John and Cary leave a lasting and positive imprint on our firm and I am very grateful for their efforts," CEO Greg Case said in a statement. "As we move forward, we will all benefit from their leadership and the strong teams they have built."
