Teleperformance's two TacticalVC cases document a deliberate mix shift toward higher-margin, higher-skill work in content moderation and trust-and-safety services. The Majorel acquisition case shows the inorganic acceleration: €3B and 82,000 employees, shifting total revenue 52% to €8.2B with specialized services growing 65%. The specialized services pivot case shows the organic equivalent: choosing slower growth in commodity CX to concentrate on Specialized Services, which grew 109% to €1.36B through multi-year, higher-value contracts. Together they document a CX outsourcing firm that recognized the commodity ceiling and moved above it.
