Growth Management
Challenges: When founding Principal Indra Ramanathan — a Venice Biennale-featured architect behind landmarks like the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre — passed unexpectedly, the firm's founder-led revenue model posed an existential risk. Through on-site research (ethnography, IDIs, focus groups, and surveys), I found that fragmented client data and inconsistent processes were undermining institutional trust — leading me to institutionalize digital systems, rebuild the go-to-market infrastructure, and design operational solutions to protect client relationships and drive growth.
