- If creating a new process or making significant changes to an existing one

- Have I done any customer research?

- Have I engaged my Channel Readiness Managers? (if strategic)
- Scott Parsons (Experience Design)
- Channel Readiness Managers
- Angela Abbott (Mobile and Cloud Voice/Cloud Work)
- Pali Phull (Connectivity and Security)
- There is no formal front door, Scott Parsons / his team should be contacted via email to engage XD
- Engage XD for Service Design, Business Analysis and Customer Research
- You should then attend their Design Alignment calls as the first step
- When to engage is dependent on whether new technology is required or a new market is being entered in to
- If the readiness teams are engaged (because there’s a new sales journey) this will be mapped out and agreed when passed through to AIS
- Customers have a great and simple experience when ordering this product / going through the journey
- Salespeople are able to sell and order the product easily and efficiently
- If the XD impacts an existing process, the process should become more efficient
