Challenge
A global $100B biopharma faced unsustainable development timelines—taking more than 26 weeks from database lock to first submission. Leadership sought to sustainably shorten cycles without compromising quality or compliance, and without burning out staff.
Approach
Scimitar established a global PMO with standardized stage-gates, reporting tools, and templates across 34 initiatives. Initiatives focused on optimizing the critical path, introducing new technologies, governance, and embedding a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
Impact
The program cut filing timelines by 50%, reduced workforce burnout, and delivered all initiatives under budget. A sustainable PMO capability was embedded to manage future enterprise transformations.
