IBM MDM: Double Digits

SITUATION (Context):
IBM German architect reached out to work with my design team after seeing one of our POC demos in Las Vegas IBM conference. 

TASK (Problem): 
No Vision. Business needs not defined nor product reqs.

ACTION (Solution): 
Trust the design process, the same if not better result…

2 Design Thinking workshops with right sized stakeholders (sme’s, sales, product, offering, architect, and engineering) Vision workshop defining business needs and landscape.

Roadmap workshop, product reqs, when and what delivered. 

RESULT (Outcome): 
Alignment, bought in to the vision and product roadmap, and consolidated 2 dev team to support. 

Business need: Decided was to focus on the Analytics portion not implementation which can take 9-12 months, and in doing so what was once loosing double digits, gained double digits
