Change Management in Action

Retail Supply Chain Transformation
More Success Stories

Problem

A global specialty fashion retailer needed to transform it supply chain into a more agile and responsive operation. With senior leadership credibility on the line after previous failed transformation attempts and shareholder pressure mounting for operational improvements, the initiative required accelerating adoption across five major brands and multiple functions globally.

Action

The Catalant Expert developed and managed the strategy, planning, and execution of the initiative end-to-end. They used the Prosci ADKAR model to accelerate adoptions across all functions (including design, merchandising, inventory management, production, marketing, store operations, and global sourcing), and developed targeted training materials and coaching.  

Results

Achieved substantial supply chain transformation:

 

  • Met aggressive first-year goal of 20% of all units using responsive capabilities
  • Successfully implemented across five major brands and global operations
  • Established sustainable adoption tracking framework for continued growth

Banking Risk Culture Implementation

A $35B regional bank implementing a three-lines-of-defense operating model struggled with helping frontline business teams grasp its impact on their daily activities. With regulators scrutinizing implementation and executive compensation tied to successful adoption, Catalant Experts led brainstorming sessions to identify tangible behaviors, using a risk framework. A comprehensive campaign — including executive communication, visual materials, and performance reviews — enabled employees organization-wide to understand their roles clearly, effectively embedding risk-aware behaviors into the company’s culture.

Healthcare System Implementation

A 6,000-employee hospital implementing two cloud-based systems faced conflicts between internal staff, union representatives, and system implementers. With the CIO’s reputation at stake after significant capital investment and Board-level scruitiny, Catalant Experts assessed organizational readiness, developed a targeted change management strategy, and actively engaged stakeholders throughout the transition. This comprehensive approach delivered measurable results: 60% reduction in administrative time, 45% increase in employee adoption rate compared to previous projects, and accelerated technology transition timelines.
