Parfums Christian Dior brings fragrances to market faster with Asana

Highlights

Challenge

• Before Asana, the Marketing Planning & Process team relied on complex, manual spreadsheets to track work.

• Without a centralized platform, they communicated in disconnected emails, which dragged out their process and delayed work

Solution

• Now, the team uses Asana as one centralized workspace, reducing time spent bringing new products to market.

• They’ve centralized communication about their work in Asana, boosting transparency across the organization.

Outcome

• Accelerated product launches: A collaborative and faster way to launch Parfums Christian Dior products and campaigns

• Simplified approval process: Easy, two-click approvals on mobile to speed up development time

• Increased accountability: Leaders enjoy more transparency and accountability in product launch process

O desenvolvimento de perfumes é diferente do desenvolvimento de produtos de cuidados com a pele. Além disso, criar um produto é diferente de criar a publicidade para ele, de modo que foi preciso usar uma ferramenta que pudesse se ajustar às múltiplas necessidades — e a Asana se mostrou perfeita para deixarmos para trás as planilhas e todo o trabalho que elas haviam gerado.”

How Asana helps Parfums Christian Dior work smarter

Teams have more time for their most important work

The planning and process team now captures status updates, project notes, and deadlines for product launches in one place: Asana. There’s no need to trawl through spreadsheets, pester colleagues for updates, or search through their shared drive for files, because they are all now associated with the right Asana task. Because of the time savings, the team has more availability to drive products forward and do the work they love.

Built-in visibility for improved collaboration

Departments collaborate closely thanks to transparency

With Asana, there is now more transparency across the organization, which allows departments to work in sync. 

Achieving goals with cross-functional collaboration

• Because teams can easily see what others are working on, they can more effectively partner together on product launches.

• Operations, for example, can now see what’s happening in formula development, and the digital team knows what’s going on in merchandising. It’s simply much easier to work toward common goals. 

• Meanwhile, leadership gets a bird’s-eye view of the business.

Streamlining approvals right from their phone

• Approvals are much easier now too—as easy as a few clicks on the Asana mobile app. 

• Tasks no longer fall through the cracks and everyone knows who is doing what, which ultimately leads to faster time-to-market for Parfums Christian Dior products.

É bom poder contar com diferentes visualizações na Asana: uma visualização detalhada para as equipes e uma visualização geral para a liderança acompanhar todos os projetos da marca, simultaneamente.”

Developing the future of fragrances and cosmetics in Asana

The team plans to bring more of their workflows into Asana. They also plan to produce dashboards and progress reports in Asana via a Power BI integration. As the team continues to innovate with new workflows and processes in the forward-thinking spirit of Christian Dior, his House continues to bring innovate products to the world faster.
