The moment
Across seven years, AstraZeneca has been transforming how medicines are developed, how clinical trials operate, how data and technology are used, and how teams are organised. Wildfire became a trusted change partner at critical moments of that journey, helping ensure transformation didn’t stop at new strategies, structures or technology, but translated into people understanding, engaging with, and adopting new ways of working.
The shift
Connected strategy, technology, operations and people.
Across 40+ engagements, we worked alongside leaders and teams, from AstraZeneca’s major R&D transformation and Digital Health to sourcing, organisation design, process optimisation and the launch of Evinova.
Turned difficult decisions into practical new ways of working.
Aligned leaders, created compelling change narratives and accelerated adoption, building confidence and momentum for change.
From Delivering Individual Change Projects to Building Change DNA™
Coached leaders and teams and established change governance and capability that could remain inside AstraZeneca after we left.
The difference
Transformation that worked and capability that stayed
- 40+ projects across 7+ years of partnership
- $100m+ cost savings · 27+ processes streamlined
- 17,000+ users · 88% increase in adoption of Digital Health tools
Beyond the numbers, Wildfire helped accelerate transformation, strengthen leadership alignment, simplify complex ways of working, build confidence and momentum for change, and establish internal change capability, reducing reliance on external support and leaving teams better equipped to lead the next change themselves.
