Volvo Group Digital and IT joins the esteemed list of Ambition Empower enterprise customers as 36 of their highly skilled employees join Ambition Empower.
Hi Pernilla Johansson! You’re a VP and Head of UX Design at Volvo Group Digital & IT. What do you do in your everyday work, and what’s your most interesting challenge right now?
– I’ve been with the Volvo Group for just over a year, working to design and establish the UX organization that aligns with the ambitious and transformative agenda of our Digital Community. The initial months were primarily focused on forming a new leadership team, while the latter half centered on building a shared foundation. Looking ahead to the next year, my focus is on enhancing our practice, elevating UX maturity and driving impact through design. I joined the Volvo Group for the change journey and the challenge has proven to be as significant and substantial as anticipated, if not more so.
Sounds like a really interesting challenge! 36 of your co-workers recently joined Ambition Empower. Why?
– Professional development is essential to our organizational growth, and at Volvo Group Digital and IT, we want to be at the forefront of User Experience and Digital Product & Service Development. Ambition Empower – covering everything from AI and Design to Design Leadership, Product Management, Research, and Prototyping with Figma – is a perfect foundation for us to learn and grow from.
– I’ve been a member before and really enjoyed both the tracks and the one-hour-per-week format. Being able to offer Ambition Empower to everyone who works here is great, both for the organization and for the employees.
What goals do you have for your organization regarding Ambition Empower?
– I’m hoping that we can become a learning organization in a true sense, where we can set up structures to, e.g., meet up in regular intervals to share insights and exchange experiences. We want to build an even stronger design culture, continuously improve the way we work to deliver more value to the organization as a whole, and, of course, support individuals on their development journey.
Thanks, Pernilla! We’re so excited to have you with us!
