Challenge

The firm had initiated a Customer 360 strategy across its business units with a third-party provider but wanted to pivot to an in-house transformation team to reduce costs and improve flexibility. To achieve this, the client had to execute Agile methodology and needed support with coaching and training executive leadership and management teams.

Solution

Agile coaches with 40+ years of experience

Toptal introduced three Agile Coaching experts with more than 40 years of combined experience to lead the training. The Toptal team conducted a holistic discovery, including team surveys, 30 leadership interviews, and 99 hours of shadowing. They uncovered primary problems, easy wins, and the highest-value opportunities to improve.

13 weeks of training

Toptal identified 29 core focus areas, executing a 13-week training and coaching process to help the client implement Agile methods for portfolios, programs, and teams. Through role-specific training sessions, 21+ one-on-one coaching sessions, and 18 workshops, they worked to improve communication and attain true Agile alignment.

Outcome

50% savings, limitless potential

By training its own transformation team, the client was able to eliminate its third-party reliance and reduce estimated expenses by half. Working in-house also has increased control and flexibility for organizational decisions.

Elevated customer experience

The client’s transformation team has an in-depth roadmap to facilitate an organisation wide Customer 360 strategy. Implementation will break down silos, bolster cross-functional communication, and ultimately provide a seamless customer experience.
