Enterprise Innovation Skills

Vanguard is one of the largest investment management firms, and are known for innovation in their offerings, which keeps them competitive. In keeping with this tradition, a technology innovation team was assembled to work on new concepts and develop skills that they could bring to the rest of the organization.

I worked with this team to offer skills, practical frameworks, teach product development standards, and more in order to provide this team working knowledge of how to define problems, validate solutions, utilize data to make decisions, and present findings for a consumer mobile app concept to executives.
