Boehringer Ingelheim

Implementing Agile Principles for a Rapidly Growing Production Site


The challenge

Boehringer Ingelheim operates a production site in Vienna as part of its global biopharmaceutical network. Following a decision to significantly expand the site, it became essential to design and implement an organizational structure based on agile principles to accommodate rapid growth.

Our approach

  • Organizational Design and Development: Supported the management team in designing and developing an agile organizational structure tailored to the expanding production site.
  • Change Management: Designed and planned a comprehensive change roadmap, including communication strategies and activities to facilitate the transition.
  • Leadership Support: Provided ongoing support and sparring for the leadership team during the conception, transition, and anchoring phases, including quarterly off-site development sessions.

The results

  • Sustainable Organizational Structure: Developed and implemented a setup for two factories and site functions that contribute sustainably to the success of the entire business unit.
  • Effective Change Management: Ensured the organization was well-prepared for upcoming changes, laying a solid foundation for growth at the site.
  • Enhanced Leadership Alignment: Established a unified understanding of team and leadership roles, fostering a cohesive approach to managing the expanding site
