Amplifi was brought in to provide essential coaching and support, especially in mastering the STEP tool. As a Premier Partner of Stibo Systems, with over 40 joint implementations and a dedicated global STEP practice, Amplifi was perfectly placed to deliver actionable STEP enhancement strategies. Amplifi’s role expanded to include remote work and training, which was particularly crucial as Nobia navigated the Covid-19 pandemic, forcing them to adopt innovative training approaches.
The importance of people and processes
Across 5 years, Amplifi and Nobia worked in partnership to deliver the strategy set out to develop a competent and self-sufficient MDM team getting real value from Stibo Systems’ STEP platform. This involved a targeted recruitment and training process, seeking individuals with both the right attitude, and foundational skills. Building a culture of self-sufficiency doesn't work for every company, but it worked for Nobia and the result is a well-managed, innovative data team that delivers business value. Amplifi are still always on hand for Nobia to train staff, evaluate ideas or sound-board platform development with.
Focus on data and digital transformation
Nobia's approach to data management and digital transformation involved recognising the complexity and time required to master STEP. They adopted an agile approach to manage deliverables, which included giving individual team members ownership of specific tasks. By taking a structured Agile approach they were not only able to adapt to their moving goals but to efficiently assign the more challenging tasks to the Amplifi experts. This approach was instrumental in overcoming initial challenges of remote working and in effectively training new, junior team members.
