04

Enable agile ways of working

Problem

A $50B global consumer packaged goods company struggled with siloed decision-making, delayed product launches, and minimal cross-functional collaboration. Despite investing in agile pilots within IT, the broader organization lacked the mindset, operating model, and structures to scale agility enterprise-wide. Leadership misalignment on priorities resulted in delivery teams experiencing constant rework and context switching.

Action

Catalant Experts assessed agility across 20+ business functions, aligned leadership on a shared vision tied to commercial outcomes, and designed a new Agile Operating Model with cross-functional value streams. Implementation included an enterprise-wide Agile Ways of Working Playbook with 200+ trained champions and leadership coaching across marketing, supply chain, R&D, and digital functions.

Results

The transformation delivered measurable business impact through increased organizational agility:

 

  • 40% reduction in time-to-market for priority product launches
  • 25% increase in throughput and value delivery across top agile squads
  • Unified enterprise-wide planning and quarterly OKR cadence adopted across five global regions

Financial Services Firm Breaks Operational Silos

A large financial services company faced growing market pressure from fintech disruptors and struggled with institutional resistance to change. Catalant Experts implemented an enterprise agility framework that prioritized customer-centric value streams rather than traditional departmental structures. The new operating model eliminated cross-functional barriers, resulting in 35% faster product development cycles and significantly improved customer satisfaction scores within six months.

Tech Company Scales Agile Beyond Development

When a mid-market technology provider needed to extend agile principles beyond their engineering team, Catalant Experts designed a comprehensive transformation program connecting product, marketing, customer success, and finance functions. Through targeted capability building and cross-functional alignment, the organization achieved 30% higher customer retention rates and accelerated feature delivery throughput, while maintaining compliance and governance standards.
