Case Study
Modelling an Enterprise Ecosystem for Digital Strategy
with Milan Guenther
Thursday, April 17
11:00 – 11:45
Main Stage
UNISDR is the United Nation’s Office for Disaster Risk Reduction. Being a focal point within the UN system, the its mandate is to coordinate worldwide efforts in disaster preparedness and resilience. In this presentation, Craig and Milan will demonstrate how achieving this mission translates into a strategic enterprise design challenge, in order to maximise the organization’s positive impact on a complex environment of stakeholder activities and concerns. Using high-level design research and enterprise mapping, the design initiative directly informed strategic considerations. The resulting insights, service models and rendering prototypes helped all parties involved to formulate a sound digital strategy, which is currently being implemented across UNISDR’s activities, transforming its landscape of digital properties.
