BOOTS UK - ACCELERATING DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION FOR UK'S LEADING HEALTH AND BEAUTY RETAILER

The UK’s leading health and beauty retailer Boots UK were looking to gain competitive advantage by accelerating their digital transformation and introducing a new agile delivery model into the business, an engineering capability centre to help optimise speed to market and maximise ROI on their digital products.

Boots engaged MMT Digital to better understand the effectiveness of their existing engineering capability, identify where improvements could be made and implement a value based prioritisation methodology, all delivered within MMT’s market-leading Compass Framework. 

MMT Digital have provided value to Boots from the moment we engaged them. Their Compass framework, specialist knowledge and experience running complex agile operating models at scale has been immensely beneficial to Boots as we establish our new Engineering Capability Centre. This is a partnership that really clarifies the value within our digital portfolio.

ORIGIN DIGITAL - NAVIGATING DIGITAL STRATEGY FOR AN ENTREPRISE-LEVEL ORGANIZATION

A large agriculture intelligence agency Origin Digital invited MMT Digital to address the key challenges they experienced with their digital product strategy and delivery. What made the challenge complex was the conflict of digital consumer experience requirements for the established vs. new markets. If not turned around in 18months, the loss of customers could have meant significant losses to the business.

Lack of insights and measurement to develop a strategy to improve the delivery of their digital products, along with the leadership changes that left gaps in technical product knowledge of legacy tools, Origin Digital found themselves behind their competitors and in urgent need of a rapid digital transformation.

Using MMT’s North Star Framework, Origin Digital were able to establish a Value Model for determining and measuring value, identifying areas for improvement and implementing best practices and governance ultimately allowing them to deliver solutions to their customers that provided quantifiable value rapidly.

Our engagement with MMT Digital brought clarity to our strategic objectives across the group, and through applying their Value Model we have been able to align multiple stakeholders and establish a clear and prioritised roadmap for product delivery against these objectives.
