Case Study: AstraZeneca achieves global IT alignment and faster strategy execution with WorkBoard

AstraZeneca aligns global IT teams 4x faster with WorkBoard

AstraZeneca, a global pharmaceutical company, faced challenges aligning its large and distributed IT organization. Their federated operating model led to fragmented execution, with duplication of systems and unclear ownership of strategic priorities, making it difficult to scale as "One IT." To address this, they turned to WorkBoard and its OKR-driven platform.

By implementing WorkBoard's system for objectives and key results (OKRs), AstraZeneca established a common framework for strategy execution. This provided visibility from top-level priorities down to team deliverables, enabling ruthless prioritization and faster alignment conversations across the global IT department. WorkBoard helped AstraZeneca reduce duplication, clarify accountability, and adopt a stronger operating cadence for quicker adaptation, ultimately accelerating execution velocity during its IT 2025 strategy shift.
