How Walki accelerated innovation with strategic alignment
Company
Walki Group - an international materials company developing sustainable and energy-efficient packaging and materials, operating across Europe and Asia.
Challenge
Walki had a strong culture of innovation, but many ideas and projects were spread across different business areas and systems. There wasn’t a single view of the portfolio. Leaders couldn’t easily see how resources were being used, how projects aligned with strategy or how long it really took for innovations to reach market.
Solution
In 2021, Walki selected the Keto Platform because it offered the flexibility and power to support both agile and traditional workflows. It created a single hub for innovation projects, linked those projects to strategy, and allowed Walki to use configurable templates and dashboards rather than heavy custom coding.
Impact
- Better visibility across the innovation portfolio: leaders can now see projects and their strategic fit clearly
- Clearer links between strategy and execution: projects can be tracked for business case, time to market, and value contribution
- Greater speed and control in long-cycle industries
- Walki now tracks KPIs like portfolio size, distribution, and progress: giving earlier insight into time-to-market
“Keto provided us a single place to collect and analyse innovation data. It’s been a real eye-opener - we can now track decisions, benchmark projects, and make better investment choices.”
What do you get on day one
- A central innovation portfolio linked directly to strategy
- Configurable templates and governance gates that reflect how you want to work
- Dashboards for leadership that deliver insight rather than more data
- Support for agile and traditional processes
