CHICAGO — Conagra Brands, Inc. has launched “project catalyst,” an initiative that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to “unlock significant value across our operations,” said Sean Connolly, president and chief executive officer.
Connolly added that the project will be a multi-year effort that incorporates AI, data and other new technologies.
“We’re reimagining ways of working, transforming end-to-end processes, and connecting our people with cutting-edge technology in ways that will drive efficiency and effectiveness,” he said. “We have senior leaders mobilized across the organization, are seeing real opportunities emerge, and are getting increasingly excited about its potential.”
The project aims to improve “big” and “core” processes in consumer packaged goods that are currently done manually.
“Now with technology kind of being democratized for even industries with our margin structure, the access to technologies to automate a lot of these business processes is kind of in an unprecedented place,” Connolly said. “And that’s a pathway to more effectiveness and more efficiency going forward.
“So, we’ve got a fully dedicated team led by some of my most senior leaders to make sure that we implement this. And it’s basically a reengineering of core business processes using especially AI for more effectiveness and more efficiency.”
Connolly did not give any specific details about the initiative but did say the company will provide updates as fiscal 2026 progresses.
