As a Design Manager I had an exceptional record of delivering a 66% increase in output and productivity by introducing new and improved structures and ways of working whilst streamlining processes.With data driven decisions I also introduced a performance structure combined with a task grading system, separating tasks into levels 1-5 based on complexity. This gave me the ability to create specific and measurable goals for each team member based on their role, individual strengths and weaknesses and company challenges.Empowering my team to manage and track their own performance gave them the opportunity to aim high, exceed expectations and celebrate success, driving team morale. • Managed, pitched and lead a team to launch a brand refresh.
