• Test ideas through rapid experimentation and proof of value generation, being unafraid to fail fast.
• Turn ideas into product definitions that solve the root cause of pain points, continuously iterating with real users to ensure user‑focused design.

Enable change with AI

• Re‑imagine operations and/or introduce new capabilities by integrating AI products into existing processes.
• Set up, run and scale AI innovation capabilities by building the right culture and operating model with a focus on sustainability.
