August 2020, Philips. Program

Kept outreach going remotely, with about 2,125 participants in seven months

When work went remote in 2020, I moved the connect program online and kept measuring it. Between February and August the sessions reached about 2,125 participants across 12 cities and more than 40 departments.

What would have happened

Outreach would have stalled when offices closed.

The call

Move everything online and keep measuring reach monthly.

What I did

Ran and tracked the connects monthly by city, role and department, and reported the numbers for the team's KPIs.

What changed

The numbers went into the team's KPI reporting, and the sessions led to three teams going live on quality gates and two adding mutation testing to their pipelines.

Proof

The original documents are held in my private record and can be shared on request.

What people said

“Very nice and Proud of you Datta!!”
