The Scope
As Conway's Law suggests, organizational structure directly influences product design (read more on it here). This means that siloed teams often create products that reflect their internal divisions with broken handoffs rather than customer needs. This results in suboptimal product experiences, and ultimately a loss in revenue.
To address this, our team was brought together to lead a new business transformation initiative to best bridge these siloed gaps. By combining service design, design thinking, and data analytics, our team built a repeatable, scalable operating model called the Journey System to focus disparate teams around shared user journeys to improve end-to-end product experiences.
My Core Focus Areas
01
Program Management
Developed and implemented a program strategy to first design the business transformation solution, then drive its widespread adoption and validation across other business units.


02
Process Development
Led researchers, designers, and data scientists using agile methodology to architect the Journey System - a tactical operating model designed to improve E2E product experiences.
03
Coaching & Facilitation
To promote our operating model, I led design thinking workshops for product teams, applying Journey System principles to align cross-functional stakeholders on customer-centric initiatives.


04
Executive Reporting
Created quarterly executive reports and monthly progress updates to keep leadership informed of the program's advancement.
