Shorten time to market by improving collaboration between headquarters and local countries

At the start of the mission, the client was a medium-sized business bank operating in 8 countries. The main pain point is the inefficient collaboration at headquarters, between HQ and local countries, and between other countries. The consequence is a longer time-to-market, which impacts the business objectives.

Challenge

Understand the importance of leading the change in an Agile transformation

The need for Agile was identified through the client’s collaboration with a Wemanity business partner
The long time-to-market is a specific issue caused notably by the lack of communication between the headquarters and the countries in development, and between countries. Risks include delivering the wrong solution and insufficient time.
The challenge is to improve the time-to-market under high pressure. Wemanity worked on the alignment of two development centers in two different European countries.
