Sage Behaviors
What started out as a small project at Stanford became a full-blown management development product. Sage develops the exact behaviors that matter most to their teams by incorporating a safe 360 review that takes a few minutes and integrating small behavioral nudges within their workflow (Slack, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, etc).

Product Design
I interviewed over 70 CHROs, Business Partners, and L&D executives to identify their consistent pain points. Each, of course, had different requirements and constraints. But the consistent theme was helping managers develop crucial skills in a high growth environment. Sage went through multiple product pivots until it became what it is today.
