Case Study: GL Education achieves an 80% productivity gain with Adobe Workfront

GL Education project managers experience 80% productivity gain with workfront

GL Education, a London‑based provider of diagnostic assessments and professional services used in over 100 countries, struggled with fragmented project management after growing through acquisitions. Disparate tools and inconsistent processes across internal teams and external suppliers left the new PMO with poor visibility into multi‑year projects, slow, error‑prone reporting, and difficulty comparing resources.

The PMO piloted and deployed the cloud‑based Workfront platform to centralize work, standardize schedules and task assignments, and automate reporting. As a result, project managers’ productivity rose by 80%, monthly reporting time fell by two days, resource planning became faster and more accurate, and senior management gained greater confidence and autonomy across teams.
