The situation

A biologics pipeline targeting unmet patient needs with novel medicines, where a single day of acceleration can be worth millions of dollars.

What changed

One function started planning and executing differently. Their results persuaded the whole organization to adopt.

The result

• Planned cycle times fell by 30% within a year of the whole 350-person organization adopting this approach.
• The pilot delivered 100% on time or early.
• The organization delivered first-in-human readiness two months early.
