GSK iPlan Change Programme

Due to the increased need to deliver medicines to market on time and budget, the Research and Development business of GlaxoSmithKline developed and implemented enhanced project management practices. Led by the Global Project Management Community, 'iPlan' is enabling GSK to manage its investors' expectations and increase its return on investment by helping teams plan more effectively. Embedding this new way of working involved engaging a large and complex group of stakeholders while minimising any business disruption. The Fifth Business partnered with GSK to develop and implement a professional communications strategy, which would support the change programme in delivering a new planning tool 'Planisware' and a comprehensive training programme. Our consultant developed engaging and high quality communications utilising both existing and new channels.
