03

Design agile operating model

04

Enable agile ways of working

Deploy a cross-functional playbook of agile rituals, objectives and key results (OKRs), and team ceremonies spanning both business and technical functions. Implement quarterly planning cadences that prioritize value delivery.

05

Scale with delivery rhythms

Problem

A $50B global consumer packaged goods company struggled with siloed decision-making, delayed product launches, and limited cross-functional collaboration. Delivery teams faced frequent rework and context switching due to misaligned leadership. Despite investing in agile pilots within IT, the broader organization lacked the mindset, operating model, and structures to scale agility enterprise-wide.

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:

 

  • 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

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 over traditional departmental structures. The new operating model eliminated cross-functional barriers, leading to a 35% reduction in product development cycles and significantly improved customer satisfaction scores within six months.
