Roche: Enabling rapid innovation

Challenge

Motivation to change

Roche was aiming to innovate faster with a focus on value. They were looking for an external partner capable of taking responsibility and changing their way of work.

Earlier Agile pilots proved suboptimal, making people resistant to change and Agile practices. This project aimed to dispel the concerns through tangible results and high levels of self-ogranization.

Solution

Change delivery

Roche was looking to further improve their value and data-driven practices. By enabling Agile operations, the team’s self-organization would drive the innovation for years to come.

We have formulated a custom-tailored implementation strategy, which we consulted with Roche and deployed specialists to support the change.

ableneo has supported 4 teams in the pilot and 3 teams in phase two. We helped establish new roles and way of work. By coaching the pilot teams and key staff, we enabled their continuous improvement and unity of purpose.
