Case Study: Whale and Dolphin Conservation achieves 25% faster production and increased conservation funding with Asana

Whale and Dolphin Conservation works 25% faster with Asana

Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) is a global charity founded in 1987 with ~90 staff across the UK, US, EU, Argentina and Australia, dedicated to protecting whales and dolphins. The organization relied on email to coordinate work, which created silos, hidden task ownership, poor visibility into project status, and no consistent way to track or scope time—hindering accountability and timely delivery.

WDC adopted Asana as a single work-management platform, supported by “Asana 101” training and internal champions, to centralize tasks, timelines, and cross-team collaboration. The change cut production time for its supporter magazine by 25%, shortened meetings, made it easier to reassign and onboard into projects, improved transparency and alignment, and helped the charity allocate a higher share of donations directly to conservation work.
