The mission
Standardize how decks are used creatively within the team, and make the case for why that consistency matters.
The challenge
My team within Google had a 50% drop rate on decks that showcased upcoming information. We looked to standardize how decks should be used creatively within the team for internal use while conveying the necessity surrounding its use.
The concept
Outlined everything necessary from the original database deck for streamlining, and identified the most important assets needed. Testing and data collection from previous decks, along with feedback from writers, informed the system.
