CASE 04 / Product & process transformation

Moving field operations beyond paper.

An internal product with a measurable operational footprint.

MY ROLEBusiness Technologist · Internal Product Owner
CONTEXTMcKenney’s Inc.
PERIODSeptember 2016–March 2019
THE CHALLENGE

What needed to work.

Paper-based field-service processes created manual work and delayed processing. A useful transformation needed a workflow the field could use and the business could sustain, not just a digital replica of a form.

MY CONTRIBUTION

The ownership I brought.

  • Led the field-service transformation as internal Product Owner for a custom iPad application.
  • Eliminated paper workflows for 300+ technicians, with a recorded 75% reduction in processing time.
  • Automated onboarding with Smartsheet across HR, IT, Accounting, and Service, saving 30+ hours per onboarding cycle.
  • Applied Lean and formal Change Management practices to workflow design, adoption, and continuous improvement.
THE JUDGMENT BEHIND THE DELIVERY

Decisions that shaped the work.

01

Own the workflow as a product.

I treated the application as an operating change, with the needs of the field and the downstream business connected through product ownership.

02

Pair digitization with process improvement.

The work combined a custom field application with Lean and Change Management practices. The objective was a faster, repeatable way of working, not merely a new interface.

03

Look for the next cross-functional bottleneck.

The separate Smartsheet onboarding workflow connected HR, IT, Accounting, and Service. That work demonstrates the same habit at a different scale: find recurring coordination effort and make it repeatable.

THE RESULT

What changed.

Digitized field workflows for 300+ technicians and reduced processing time by 75%. A separate onboarding automation saved 30+ hours per cycle. These are distinct outcomes from different workflows, as recorded in the August 31 résumé.

I connect product ownership to adoption, process change, and a measurable operational result.
