The goal of this exciting project was to develop a 5-year strategic plan that embraced diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) principles and human-centered design. By leveraging the power of collaboration and innovation, we set out to create a plan that would not only provide clear guidelines for the organization but also enable it to navigate the rapidly changing landscape of the future with ease.

The outcome of this project was an inclusive and robust strategic plan that surpassed all expectations. By fostering a culture of creativity and collaboration, we were able to produce a plan that was not only firm enough to provide clear guidance to the organization but also flexible enough to adapt to future uncertainties.

As the project manager, I had the honor of leading this dynamic and multifaceted project. From start to finish, I was responsible for driving the project forward and ensuring that all stakeholders were engaged and informed every step of the way, that milestones were met, and that the client received a high-quality product.

The deliverables for this project included a series of engaging strategic planning workshops, immersive in-person workshops, and a finalized and branded strategic plan that will guide the organization towards a successful and inclusive future.

  • This project kicked off in July, with the final Strategic Plan presented to the Board of Directors at the beginning of December. I guided them through the writing and the branding of the Strategic Plan document.

  • As the project manger, I led the People Rocket team and the client team, communicating next steps, deadlines, and project needs. I worked closely with this client to ensure our teams were communicating and that deadlines were being met on both sides.

  • We utilized a hybrid approach for this project. While we had clear deliverables and delivery dates, we worked flexibly within these constraints to create milestones, opportunities for engagement, and created space for change when needed.

Working with a large company in the food industry, I worked with my team to create an engaging and informative video for a large audience on a new, innovative technology in the supply chain. The outcome was a visually stunning and informative 2.5 minute video that effectively showcased the new product, its unique features, and its benefits to potential customers. The video successfully conveyed the key messages and brand personality of our client to their target audience.

As the project manager, I was responsible for overseeing the entire process, from conception to final delivery. Collaborating with the People Rocket team, the clients, and a video production company we established a clear understanding of the project objectives, scope, timeline, and budget.

I worked closely with my team and the video production company to develop a creative concept and script that would effectively communicate the product's unique features and benefits to the target audience. We conducted several rounds of revisions until we arrived at the final script that met the client's expectations.

I managed the day-to-day project activities and ensured that all stakeholders were informed and engaged throughout the process. Throughout the project, I monitored the progress of the video production team to ensure that they met the project milestones and quality standards. I coordinated with the video production team to ensure that the video shoot was successful and that all necessary footage was captured. I also collaborated with the video production team during the post-production process, including the editing, sound mixing, and final delivery of the video to ensure a high quality product.

To close the project, I conducted a final review of the video with all stakeholders to ensure that it met the client's expectations and was ready for release.

The deliverable for this project was a 2.5 minute video that showcased the new technology and it’s potential, and effectively communicated its unique features and benefits to potential customers.

Using an agile approach, I mapped out a comprehensive plan for the project, a schedule baseline to ensure we could deliver the work on time and on budget.

From daily stand-up meetings to regular quality reviews, I kept everyone on the same page and inspired them to do their best work.
