Empowering IT Leaders to Drive Digital Transformation at a Global Manufacturer

Hylaine delivers enterprise-wide education modules to close capability gaps and align leadership around modern development practices.

Client Overview

A global chemical manufacturing and distribution company with over 60,000 employees and more than a dozen consumer and industrial brands. With 155 years of innovation in paints and coatings, the organization is undergoing a multi-year digital transformation and needed to ensure its IT leadership was aligned to current best practices in development and delivery.

The Challenge

Despite their long-term investment in digital transformation, the client’s core IT leaders lacked the modern development and people management knowledge needed to confidently coach their teams and execute change effectively. There was a clear skills gap in understanding agile delivery, modern architectures, and digital team leadership—threatening the transformation’s momentum and impact.

The Solution

Hylaine designed and delivered a custom digital education program tailored to the client’s transformation goals and team dynamics.

Key elements included:

Discovery phase: Three weeks of deep engagement with IT leadership to align on learning needs and business challenges

Content development: Creation of 17 tailored sub-modules across three key areas:

Content structure: Story documents with topic overviews, real-world use cases, milestone guidelines, and applicable scenarios based on internal feedback

Interactive delivery: Live presentations to a pilot group of nine IT leaders, designed to drive discussion and active learning

Scalable format: Presentation decks and training materials built for future use across broader leadership teams
