Focus

Four areas where I consistently create leverage — by aligning strategy, delivery, and governance.

Agentic Experience (AX)

Human–AI collaboration that ships.

Designing agent-enabled products with clear workflow orchestration, guardrails, explainability, and adoption patterns — especially in trust‑sensitive contexts.

  • Orchestration & roles: define handoffs, escalation paths, and state models across humans, agents, and tools.
  • Guardrails & governance: constrain autonomy with safe defaults, monitoring, and audit trails that work in production.
  • Explainability: design “why this” cues, evidence surfaces, and reversible actions so outcomes stay understandable and controllable.
  • Adoption patterns: onboarding, progressive autonomy, and operating rhythms that make AI usable for real teams — not demos.

Smart Cities

Urban platforms, designed as ecosystems.

Omnichannel services that integrate digital products with physical space and operational reality — so the city’s “system” is usable, governable, and coherent.

  • Ecosystem architecture: design a common core with explicit local layers so services can scale across agencies, districts, and partners.
  • Omnichannel service design: align apps and portals with on-site touchpoints, staff workflows, and real-world throughput constraints.
  • Operational truth: use service blueprinting and state design to prevent broken promises, exceptions, and support debt after launch.
  • Governance that ships: map dependencies, sequencing, and ownership so multiple teams can deliver coherently in parallel.

Digital Identity

Privacy-first trust patterns.

Secure identity and consent experiences aligned to governance and regulation — designed to be understandable, controllable, and audit-friendly.

  • Consent and control: make permissions, purpose, retention, and revocation explicit — with language users can act on.
  • Safe defaults: design for minimisation, recovery, and role-based access so the system is secure without being opaque.
  • Auditability: embed traceability cues, decision logs, and state clarity that support compliance and operational investigation.
  • Adoption in sensitive contexts: introduce high-trust mechanisms (e.g., biometrics) with transparency, fallbacks, and contestability.

Futures & Facilitation

Decision-making at scale.

250+ facilitated workshops — from executive alignment to large stakeholder forums — turning complexity into decisions and delivery-ready artefacts.

  • Rapid convergence: run design sprints and structured forums that move from ambiguity to clear choices, fast.
  • Executive alignment: surface constraints, trade-offs, and decision ownership — reducing churn and design-by-committee.
  • Delivery-ready outputs: translate workshop outcomes into principles, roadmaps, requirements, and decision artefacts teams can execute.
  • Scale through governance: establish lightweight rituals and review loops that keep quality high after the workshop ends.
