2025 Business & Development Goals
- Rollout AEM Component Catalog & Modular Design Ecosystem Champion a unified Design System component catalog playground that serves NOVA, Ivy.
Establish a modular design ecosystem for digital marketing experiences that adapts seamlessly across web and interactive sales aid channels. Increase user engagement/satisfaction by 15% (measured via surveys or analytics). Leverage current tools and frameworks. Use iterative development with regular feedback loops. Directly supports the transformation of AbbVie’s digital marketing and aligns with initiatives such as NOVA Helium Operationalization and Functional NOVA Catalog 1.0. Pilot launch by Q2 2025 and full rollout by Q3 2025.
- Enhance Unified Documentation & Collaboration Tools
Specific:
Expand the existing unified documentation hub with interactive elements, live examples, and clear acceptance criteria. Develop additional collaboration tools (e.g., a documentation playground, self-service email signature and logo generators). Achieve 80% team adoption of the new documentation system. Reduce internal documentation-related queries by 30%. Implement improvements in phases, starting with core features in Q1/Q2 2025 and iterative enhancements based on user feedback. Supports internal efficiency, streamlines design handoff, and aligns with Forms Modernization priorities (e.g., Authoring Process and Development Process Transformation). Roll out initial improvements by Q2 2025, with full enhancements by year-end.
- Elevate Presentation & Leadership Communication Skills
Specific:
Enhance personal leadership communication through targeted training, internal presentations, and feedback mechanisms. Deliver at least four leadership presentations throughout 2025. Attend three professional communication or leadership training sessions. Achieve an average feedback score of 85% or higher from peers and management on communication effectiveness. Leverage internal training resources, mentorship programs, and external professional development opportunities. Enhances your ability to communicate complex projects and aligns with the broader goal of improving external communications and awareness within the organization. Complete training and initial presentations by Q2 2025 and schedule quarterly follow-ups to track progress. The Component Catalog supports NOVA’s Helium Operationalization, Brand Onboarding, and Functional NOVA Catalog 1.0. Enhanced documentation and collaboration tools directly tie into transforming the authoring process, CSS management, and template-based development, which are key to the modernization effort. Improved leadership communication and the streamlined design handoff processes contribute to better external communications, innovation POD transformation, and overall operational efficiency. A modular design ecosystem can later integrate with GenAI initiatives (e.g., Content Catalyst, OdyssAI, Jarvis) by providing a more flexible, reusable framework for future AI-driven projects.
Next Steps & Implementation
Review & Refine:
Set quarterly check-ins to evaluate progress and make adjustments as needed.
Cross-Functional Collaboration:
Engage with design, development, and operations teams early to align on requirements and ensure the new tools meet everyone’s needs.
Metrics & Reporting:
Define key performance indicators (KPIs) for each goal and set up dashboards to track progress. Align these with the broader engineering KPIs & metrics initiatives. Integration with Manager’s Priorities: Regularly update your manager on progress, ensuring your goals continuously support and complement the DSS Architecture & Engineering Priorities.
