Designing change

Managing change means planning the rollout, the comms and the training once the decisions are made. Designing change starts earlier. It means researching how work really gets done, shaping the change with the people it affects, and testing it before it scales.

What it looks like in practice

Management training, redesigned

Financial services

We researched and redesigned a management training programme with the managers who take it. It now runs with 1,200 people managers, and feedback rose at least 15% on every measure.

A new strategy, owned by the teams

Ecommerce

Eight departments had different ideas of what a new strategy meant for them. A four-week research and co-design project put three improvements live within 19 days, and average order value rose 5%, ahead of target.

Design squads, fully staffed

Financial services

16 specialists across four agile squads, embedded in the client's teams for 18 months. We handled employment, performance and contracts. They got on with the work.

Who you'll work with

Edward Conmy

Edward Conmy, founder

I started Delve to bring the design methods used to build products and services to the way organisations change.

I've spent 15+ years in this work. First running a specialist recruitment business placing UX, product and data people in Irish organisations, then leading research and co-design projects for Bank of Ireland, Musgrave, Smartbox and Aer Lingus, among others. I'm an APMG certified change manager and hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Service Design from NCAD.

I lead every consulting project personally, with independent specialists chosen for the brief.
