Case Study: Global 2000 Energy Company speeds succession planning from 2 months to 2 days and gains operational discipline with Adobe Workfront

Global 2000 Energy Company’s Education Group Demonstrates Team Value, Speeds Succession Planning with Workfront

An education group at a Global 2000 integrated energy company that develops training for high-risk operations struggled with fragmented tools, inconsistent processes, and no formal project documentation. Those gaps made it hard to demonstrate the team’s value, led to wasted work and budget errors, and caused long, risky handoffs when projects changed owners.

The team adopted a standardized change program and the Workfront Enterprise Work Management solution—using templates for initiate/scope/plan/execute/measure, centralized updates, and linked budgeting and content—to capture requirements and document work in one place. The result: a clear shift to operational discipline, faster succession planning (transition time cut from two months to two days), elimination of unnecessary costs, and 101 requests resolved in 10 months with strong user adoption.
