A global sports equipment manufacturer's business units operated as separate entities with their own processes, creating significant blockers to timely, high-quality delivery and to the company's growth targets. We were brought in to understand these differences, determine where they should be eradicated and where preserved, and to define a unified set of whole-lifecycle processes that increased product development efficiency through centralised process and resource coordination.

Diagnosis

Established regular governance to surface bottlenecks and priority areas across the business units
Information gathering through structured interviews
Insights generation drawing the differences and commonalities together

Implementation

Defined Product Data milestones across the unified lifecycle
Built the assortment plan, supporting processes and tooling
Defined pricing data process and automations
Established a product data hub as the single source of truth
