We supported the merger of two public sector teams by co-creating a shared workflow, tools, and roles.

The Challenge

How do you merge two distinct departments without losing valuable knowledge—and while building a usable, participatory workflow?

Two divisions within the same public agency needed to merge. I had the opportunity to guide and co-design the transition process.
Key questions emerged:

  • What is changing in the organizational context?

  • Where is this transition headed?

  • How do we integrate existing tools and practices?

  • How can we build a usable and participatory new workflow?
