Philips Domestic Appliances – Marketing Workflow Kaizen

Role: Senior Project Manager

Challenge: The Kaizen workflow framework that Philips Domestic Appliances had introduced for its global marketing team wasn’t sticking: teams interpreted the SLA’s differently, hand-offs lagged, and campaign assets were still arriving piecemeal.
