Led a 2 day workshop guiding a cross-functional team through existing onboarding processes and procedures to identify gaps, and strategies to enhance their new customers experience. Took the information from that workshop to diagram their optimal flow, along with a project plan to develop the missing assets or resources to attain their ideal end state. Feedback from the session and the end customer facing product was overwhelmingly positive in not only the quality of the end result, but it the speed in which it took the team to get there.
