The Challenge

With 160,000 HR professionals as members, the CIPD struggled with disconnected

digital experiences, leaving valuable content hidden from the very people who

needed it most. Internally, multiple complex systems and platforms, and siloed departments, made it difficult to deliver consistent, measurable growth.

The Approach

We led a full experience optimisation programme, grounded in deep customer

journey mapping, to unify brand, content, and UX across every member

touchpoint. At the same time, we supported a shift toward a more customer focused

culture, aligning teams around shared goals and embedding more

collaborative ways of working.

The Commercial Impact

The result? A cleaner, faster, more coherent experience and a major step forward in the CIPD’s EO maturity journey:

• Increased dwell time as members engaged more with content.

• Better content discoverability and self-service.

• Streamlined infrastructure
