Client Type: Mid-Sized Consumer Goods Company

Industry: CPG/Manufacturing

Business Context: The organization was managing a growing portfolio of cross-functional initiatives across operations, product, and supporting business functions. As the volume of work increased, leadership needed stronger visibility into progress, constraints, and performance across the portfolio in order to plan more effectively and intervene earlier when risks emerged.

Challenge: Project information was fragmented across teams, reporting varied by function, and execution issues were often identified too late. Leadership did not have a reliable operating view of project health, deadlines were being missed, and resource constraints were difficult to assess in a consistent way. Previous platform efforts had introduced activity, but not the structure, ownership, and reporting discipline required to improve execution.

Why It Mattered: Without a dependable view of delivery performance, leadership was making portfolio decisions with limited confidence. Teams were spending more time reconciling updates than managing progress, and execution risk was becoming harder to contain as complexity grew. The business needed a more structured environment that could support visibility, accountability, and better decision-making across the portfolio.

Our Approach: ICG redesigned the execution environment around clarity, consistency, and usable visibility. We worked with leadership to define the operating information needed for stronger oversight, then built a centralized project management structure that translated those needs into practical reporting, clearer ownership, and more disciplined workflows. The work included executive dashboards, standardized status reporting, role-based accountability, automated tracking, and adoption support designed to strengthen long-term use rather than treat implementation as a one-time rollout.

Impact: Project visibility improved by 85 percent, on-time delivery increased by 30 percent, and platform adoption reached 95 percent within six months. Leadership gained a more reliable basis for prioritization, intervention, and portfolio planning, while teams operated with stronger accountability, earlier issue visibility, and a more disciplined cadence for execution.
