Case Study: Schroders becomes more competitive with Agile transformation by PA Consulting

Becoming more competitive by transforming into an Agile global organisation

Schroders, the global investment manager, wanted to sharpen its competitive edge by improving efficiency, speeding up delivery, and raising the quality of its IT organization. PA Consulting helped Schroders transform its global IT function by introducing Agile ways of working across the business, combining agile expertise with broader organizational and cultural change support.

PA Consulting reconfigured IT teams to align with specific business areas and delivered agile training and coaching for more than 600 IT, technology, change, and business professionals. The transformation helped Schroders increase release speed by 20% over nine months, reduce projects considered “at risk” by 60%, and improve business satisfaction by 20% over the last year, strengthening the relationship between technology teams and the wider business.
