CIBC Estate Planning

At a glance

Business Need

Driven by biggest wealth transfer in history — a $750 billion opportunity — CIBC needed a way to make estate planning more accessible for its clients.

Goal

Role

I co-led the project with a fellow designer — envisioning a holistic estate planning service and breaking it down to actionable recommendations, facilitating workshops and delivering prototypes, and presenting findings to the C-suite.

Help establish a partnership between CIBC and will-creation vendor through design thinking.

Results

Revenue goal reached within 1/4 of projected time frame
$400,000 in consulting cost saved
This project would not have been possible without the support from my boss Farah Fatima, fellow lead Mikaela Maquiling, UX researcher Semire Akinola, and other SME's.
