Back to peopleThe ?! moment I’ve felt the most Impact:
It’s the impact that drives me on a daily basis. We were working with a major delivery organization, and I lived the life of a parcel delivery person for a week to understand the day-to-to day challenges and the compounding wear on the person and their equipment and clothing throughout the week. When it came time to land a solution, our team made sure that it didn’t just fit the moment-to-moment needs, but also delivered on the longer term challenges.
