The Challenge
Our client is renowned in the market for
providing extraordinary customer
experiences. The company values this
excellence and leverages it as a key
competitive advantage.
Internally, the organization struggles to
provide the same exceptional
experience globally and to adjust to
different workstyles in order to better
serve its employees.
Our client wanted to understand its
employee experience gaps, identify
opportunities to deliver an improved
experience and create a strategic
roadmap to deliver it.

Description
I am a problem solver who collaborates
closely with teams, but I mostly work
individually to create products and
solutions. I seek autonomy and efficiency.
I am a go-getter and an empathizer who
pursues new business, solves customer
needs and builds relationships.
I use my expertise to support and engage
with other teams across Adobe. I value
intuitive experiences that help me organize
and simplify my daily tasks.
I’m a leader who focuses on the
dissemination and sharing of BU or
company-wide information. My day-to-day
activities mainly revolve around interacting
with employees and business partners.

I use my expertise to support and engage with other teams across firm. I value intuitive experiences that help me organize and simplify my daily tasks.
This is My Work Style
• “I really do want to keep everything running smoothly and make people happy”
• “We’re quick to roll out new tools instead of fixing what we have”
• “We are extensively using SharePoint, but it’s not very intuitive”
• “We have trouble managing projects because each one is run differently”
• Email is my main communication tool, but the volume of messages is so massive that some of my teams are experimenting with Slack to alleviate
the time needed to process unstructured threads
• Video Conferencing, Connect, Intercall and Jabber are tools that I use all of the time to orchestrate meetings with peers and colleagues
• I rely on SharePoint mostly as a centralized document repository that works as the “single source of truth” for my team, but there’s a learning curve
and the experience is not optimal
• When I work with Builders I have started to use Jira to help with task management
• I work predominantly with my laptop, which is connected to a monitor to be more productive
• I continuously have to surveil my inbox and send email to my team members or other stakeholders. I need my mobile phone to stay updated,
especially during after-hours and overseas requests
• I don’t rely on Adobe mobile apps
• My tools are very function-specific when it comes to processing data and information; I often work with my peers to refine my work, ultimately
engaging with the Builder, Client Facing or Communicator personas in order to get things done
• My preferred method of communication is face-to-face communication because it maximizes efficiency and engagement; I often use remote
conferencing services to interact across offices
• I can get frustrated by the lack of standardization and integration across Adobe’s internal tools; it really impacts my productivity sometimes
• I am constantly browsing and retrieving internal information for my internal clients and I can struggle to be effective with the existing platforms; I
rely on knowing the right people with the right background and experience to help me find the information
• I am usually involved in a number of different work streams at once. I try to leverage document repositories and task delegation/orchestration
tools, but I feel like I really need some kind of Project Management resource
These Are My Goals This is How I Am Measured• Make Adobe successful
• Make employees’ lives easier
and more efficient
• Be perceived as helpful by
internal customers
• Be productive
• Internal customer satisfaction
• Effectiveness of resolutions
• New initiatives launched
• Completion of tasks
