A mission for every Oracle product to be created with intentionality and clarity of purpose

Opportunity

Teams across Oracle had a feature-centric development approach, which contributed to overly complex products and user experiences. We created and implemented a two-part framework that empowered teams across Oracle to tackle projects with greater clarity and purpose—creating a user-centered cultural shift.

Impact

Product teams across Oracle have adopted the approach, generating a major culture shift towards user-centricity.

We introduced the framework during a live presentation to over 1,000 attendees, which had immediate impact on team’s approach. The recording garnered over 550 views within two months.

Working sessions and office hours were attended by more than 18 product teams indicating impact of work and desire to learn more.
