District for Danske Bank
The ambition
The ambition in the department was to deliver a financial platform that didn’t focus solely on the Danske Bank products but one that focused on connecting all the customer's financial services across banks, accounting systems, salary systems etc. This would enable the customer to save time, reduce errors and allow them to make even better decisions by giving them better knowledge and insights.
This platform is called District and was released to customer in 2019. Over the course of 3 years we were successful in realising this bold product ambition and making the platform the core channel for all of Danske Bank's 300,000 business customers.

My Role
As a consultant in Danske Bank my role shifted back and forth from being focused on the design of the experience to enabling the organisation to execute on these experiences.
That meant working both with the internal design team to produce the design artefacts, while also working on a number of things like building and refining the design- and development process, working as a product owner and building a customer centric mindset in the organisation. The latter was done successfully through sharing tangible design principles and clear insights about customer desires, behaviour and problems.
