In racing, a pit stop isn't lost time, it's how you set the fastest lap. McLaren Automotive applied that same thinking to core business teams, and how they support the development of the next generation of supercars. Critical procurement, product, manufacturing, and finance processes lived in disconnected spreadsheets, decks, and siloed systems. Leaders spent more time gathering and reconciling information than acting on it. The time had arrived to stop, retool and go faster.

Join leaders from McLaren Automotive, alongside their transformation partner Valiantys, as they share how they replaced fragmented, manual processes with a connected system of work on the Atlassian platform; linking product quality directly to parts, suppliers, sourcing, and costs across the entire lifecycle. They'll get honest about what it took: integrating Atlassian with existing enterprise systems to create a single source of truth, designing workflows that business teams actually prefer over their old spreadsheets, and proving value with improved cashflow, tens of thousands of hours returned to teams, and better margin per vehicle sold. They'll also share how this connected data foundation unlocked meaningful AI adoption, with AI-driven insights cutting governance meetings by up to 50% and shifting leadership time from compiling information to making better decisions.

Key takeaways:

• How to extend a system of work beyond software teams to procurement, manufacturing, and finance — and why business-team adoption sticks when the system actually makes people's jobs easier
• A practical blueprint for consolidating enterprise data and operational processes into Atlassian systems to create a single, trusted view across the product lifecycle and supply chain
• Why a connected data foundation and context layer is the prerequisite for AI that actually changes how leaders work, shifting from spreadsheets and meetings to insights and actions
• How to measure a system of work transformation with real business outcomes; cash flow, margin per unit, and negotiation leverage — not tickets, tokens and licences
