The Problem & Context: Cross-functional health systems teams lacked process transparency when evaluating and integrating new software vendors, leading to fragmented implementation plans and unexpected backstage operational failures.
The Framework & Facilitation: Created a custom, reusable hybrid template combining Service Blueprinting with Customer Journey Mapping. Facilitated interactive workshops uniting frontline staff, product leads, engineers, and executive sponsors.
The Discovery: Exposed critical manual workarounds and redundant data entry that frontline operators performed daily due to legacy system gaps, bridging the gap between high-level executive strategy and ground-level realities.
The Outcome: Prompted immediate operational fixes from executive leadership during workshops, established the standardized vendor integration discovery framework for the organization, and prevented costly post-launch software redesigns.
