"Stellar's audit was a real wake-up call, enabling us to clarify our vision, recruit a CPO in record time and set up a governance structure that finally streamlined our decision-making. This support enabled us to move from a logic of frugality to a dynamic of investment, essential to relaunching our growth and preparing for international expansion."
Stellar and Phenix join forces to lay the foundations for sustainable growth
In this organizational overhaul, Matthieu and Antoine, CPO at Stellar, worked closely with Simon Baldeyrou, Managing Director at Phenix. Together, they built a clear governance structure, stabilized the roadmap and restored confidence in the teams to support growth and prepare for international expansion.
Mission
Phenix's mission is to put an end to food waste. Thanks to its SaaS platform, the company helps more than 20,000 businesses manage their unsold food in real time and redistribute it to over 3,000 charities. Every day, 200,000 meals are saved, with a presence in 17 European cities and 170 employees mobilized to combine social impact and performance.
A stronger organization
and a new direction
Stellar's support enabled Phenix to clarify its vision, strengthen its product and tech organization, and recreate a collective dynamic, while significantly improving operational efficiency.
- Lightning recruitment: a CPO hired in less than a month to give clear direction and speed up execution.
- +20% operational efficiency: thanks to tighter governance, a stabilized roadmap and clarified responsibilities.
- Stabilized roadmap: development cycles are better timed and connected to user feedback, bringing greater fluidity.
- Renewed commitment: Teams regained confidence, energy and pride, buoyed by collaborative rituals and celebrated victories.
#1 Limited strategic vision
The absence of a clear direction slowed innovation and led to short-termist decisions. Discovery and data were under-exploited, making it difficult to identify and priorize growth drivers.
Governance that slices and learns
A clear 2-3 year vision, translated into quantified objectives and rigorously monitored. The systematic integration of Discovery and data now makes it possible to guide choices with greater value and speed.
#2 A fragile, compartmentalized organization
Persistent silos between teams and undersized resources limited collaboration and the ability to deliver effectively.
Switch to investment mode
Strengthening leadership and teams has enabled us to build a robust organization capable of delivering sustainable innovation.
#3 Complicated product governance
Major projects were progressing slowly, due to a lack of suitable tools and clear monitoring. Lack of visibility and coordination led to delays and inefficiency.
Clear, efficient governance
New steering tools, better-defined roles and collective rituals now bring greater transparency, stability and fluidity to project execution.
