One of our Portfolios maintains a suite of digital platforms, serving MDPs (Managing Directors & Partners) across the business.

Are the platforms best serving the business?

Are the platforms providing sufficient reporting, measurement capabilities for users

Channel delivery

Are our platforms providing sufficiently robust experiences across desktop and mobile devices?

UI/ID

Are our platforms sufficiently robust from a UI/ID pov?

Are current designs sufficiently usable?

Do we have sufficient ability to measure the efficacy of our UI/ID
