New problem
Speed up the pace of change to meet the future
On 23 March 2020, the high street shut its doors as Britain locked down. Over night the agenda for the ongoing upgrade of digital capabilities within John Lewis changed. The future came early. 10 years of digital transformation, organisational and cultural change needed to happen in one year. In 2020 we partnered with John Lewis to help them re-imagine their iOS and Android apps as well as their public e-commerce website from the inside out.
New ideas
100 years of experience revamped for mobile
Being the largest employee-owned business in the UK, the partnership’s success has always built upon its visionary way of collaborating. To transform the app experience and performance we helped John Lewis reorganise and structure their mobile teams and ways of working – paving the way for more efficient collaboration long term, while addressing current challenges.
