Overview

John Lewis Money helps users create their perfect home insurance policy for their specific needs to whatever may come.

The challenge was to help users make safe and convenient changes online to their data on the policies, without having to call the help desk, thus saving a lot of time and reducing JLP operational costs.

As Lead Product Designer I helped shape the product vision by redesigning some components of the JLP Mono design system and creating new key features.

I worked as a Senior Consultant in the Deloitte Digital cross-functional team.

Problem statement

"How Might We help users make safe and convenient changes online to their data on the policies, without having to call the help desk, thus saving a lot of their time and reducing JLP operational costs?"

Solution

Previously users could only change details of their policy by calling the Helpdesk. At certain time intervals only.

Now they can adjust their policy details by themselves online anytime, thanks to the newly created Mid-Term Adjustments journeys. Convenient, secure and fast.
