Home » Newsroom » AGCO

What was the client’s problem?

AGCO, a global agricultural machinery manufacturer, is undergoing a comprehensive digital transformation. After a large-scale reorganization, the client has started an Agile Transformation with AdEx Partners to unite numerous heterogeneous teams in a uniform process organization.

Digital Transformation & Agile Methods

AGCO has set itself the goal of developing intelligent agricultural solutions and digital services. To achieve this, AGCO started a comprehensive digital transformation several years ago. AGCO implemented agile methods for the first time to ensure that our customers can continue to respond to global and highly volatile competition.

The “DIGITALCUSTOMEREXPERIENCE” (DCX) program aimed to efficiently develop digital products and services and bring them to market.

Problem Statement

After two years of successful development and continuous improvement, “DCX” struggled with organizational hurdles, a silo mentality, and the efficient use of agile methods.

A comprehensive reorganization of digital product management and IT structure was carried out. The aim is to overcome organizational hurdles to make product development more efficient and improve scalability.

Agile Transformation

The new organizational structure provides the framework. However, the success of the reorganization must breathe life into the new organizational structure. AdEx Partners was given the mandate to implement a holistic Agile Transformation. The goal is to establish a new process organization that promotes cross-functional collaboration and scaling the development process.


Which specific improvements have been made?

  • The go-to-market time has been significantly reduced. All 60 teams launch their digital products in a uniform 10-week rhythm.
  • The efficiency of the entire organization has been measurably increased by 72%.
  • Improved business-IT alignment, as the business now follows the entire development cycle end-to-end.
  • All teams have been elevated to a standard system configured to the requirements of the new process, enabling real-time reporting.
  • Knowledge building in the organization through training and coaching of 400 employees
  • ONE Digital is being used as a template for other parts of the business to adopt agile ways of working and accelerate the development of digital service
