CONTEXT

The BBC needed to modernise the management of its TV licences, long perceived as punitive, costly, and demotivating for staff. The existing process hindered digital adoption and weakened customer relationships.

CHALLENGE

How might the BBC shift the narrative from policing to partnership to more effectively tackle the revenue issue?

SOLUTION

The BBC used this as an opportunity to embrace digital thinking. I led a transformation programme grounded in ethnographic research with both customers and employees. Journeys were redesigned, self-service solutions deployed, and internal tools introduced to transform employees’ day-to-day work.
