How Did Lizard Global Help Jordan Validate Its Direct-to-Consumer Strategy?

We partnered with Jordan to structure an immersive digital product strategy that evaluated business feasibility while aligning internal stakeholders. By deploying our proven agile methodologies, we established clear project boundaries, defined measurable goals, and transformed initial strategy discussions into interactive design deliverables.

Our cross-functional workshop setup directly engaged regional leadership to ensure every business requirement translated seamlessly into technical and user-centric specifications.

"To engage with their consumers directly, an oral care manufacturing company hired Lizard Global to provide design consultations for them. The project is currently in its last phase." — Project Summary

Throughout this phase, we maintained a tight feedback loop that allowed us to continuously refine target user journeys. By pairing enterprise level tech consulting with human centered UI/UX design, we gave Jordan an end-to-end blueprint for their direct-to-consumer digital roadmap.

What Core Business Challenge Prompted Jordan to Seek an External Tech Partner?

Established manufacturing firms often face significant hurdles when attempting to bypass traditional retail channels to build direct consumer relationships. Jordan needed to determine whether a recurring subscription framework for oral care products could gain traction within the Malaysian market.

Without prior digital subscription infrastructure in the region, investing in immediate custom software development carried unnecessary risk. Jordan required an experienced partner who could systematically unpack market complexities, validate user demand, and prototype the end-user experience before writing code.

"We were trying to find ways to engage consumers directly and to determine whether a subscription model for oral care is feasible in Malaysia." ~ Ong Teong Dee, Country Manager Malaysia & Thailand, Jordan

We recognized that solving this challenge required more than theoretical market research. It called for an interactive, hands-on workshop series that tested real-world user scenarios, mapped out complex supply logistics from a digital standpoint, and defined explicit customer personas to guide future platform development.

Why Did Jordan Select Lizard Global as Their Strategic Digital Partner?

Selecting the right digital agency requires a balance of proven methodology, domain expertise, and executive alignment. Jordan chose Lizard Global based on a direct peer recommendation and the sheer clarity of our proposed agile framework.

Our transparent proposal clearly mapped out every milestone of the discovery process, giving Jordan’s decision-makers complete confidence in our ability to execute complex strategy sessions remotely.

"I came in touch with Lizard Global through a recommendation by a friend. The structured agile process approach as defined in the proposal gave us the confidence that this approach is the right one to address our challenges." ~ Ong Teong Dee, Country Manager Malaysia & Thailand, Jordan

Our ability to combine high level commercial consulting with granular UI/UX design set us apart from conventional agencies. By showing a clear path from problem identification to functional prototyping, we demonstrated that our workshops deliver concrete strategic output rather than abstract theory.

How Was the Technical Scope and Workshop Architecture Implemented?

We structured Phase 1 around an intensive, highly collaborative discovery sprint. We assigned a dedicated cross-functional team comprising our CEO Asia, Terence, along with senior UI/UX designers Eric and Gwenn, to work alongside Jordan's management team.

To ensure absolute precision, we broke the technical scope down into distinct operational pillars:

• Target Audience Identification: Analyzing demographic and behavioral data to pinpoint high-value consumer segments in Malaysia.

• Persona Development: Building detailed buyer personas to model purchasing habits and subscription retention triggers.

• Interactive Design Discovery: Mapping end-to-end user journeys from initial brand discovery through recurring subscription management.

• Rapid Wireframing & Prototyping: Translating workshop insights into interactive UI/UX wireframes to visualize the core digital solution.

"Lizard Global guided our team at Jordan through an iterative and agile process in determining the best possible approach to achieve the desired objectives and to address the challenges... supported by CEO Asia Terence and UI/UX designers Eric and Gwenn." ~ Ong Teong Dee, Country Manager Malaysia & Thailand, Jordan

By grounding every session in modern product design software and collaborative remote facilitation tools, we turned complex business logic into an intuitive prototype. This systematic approach minimized strategic risk and laid down a clean technical blueprint for subsequent full-stack software development.

How Did Lizard Global Overcome Remote Collaboration Skepticism Through Project Management?

Conducting high stakes strategic workshops in a fully remote environment often introduces team skepticism regarding engagement and real productivity. We addressed these concerns directly by deploying tightly structured agendas, transparent communication protocols, and interactive collaboration platforms.

Our facilitators maintained complete control over the workshop cadence, ensuring every participant remained actively involved while adhering strictly to project timelines.

"The facilitation and tools used for the remote workshops were excellent. Jordan team members were highly skeptical about the effectiveness of having remote workshops but were pleasantly surprised by the process and the productive outcome of each workshop. They were focused on high engagement. The way the workshop was structured has been highly effective, in terms of duration, expected deliverables, etc." ~ Ong Teong Dee, Country Manager Malaysia & Thailand, Jordan

By setting clear expectations before every session, we eliminated ambiguity. Our team delivered detailed objective briefs prior to each meeting and followed up with tangible summaries and design assets, earning high marks for project governance.

What Real-World Data and Outcomes Were Delivered to Jordan?

Our strategic engagement yielded immediate, measurable value, equipping Jordan with the clarity needed to advance their commercial strategy. We transformed raw hypotheses into validated product models backed by executive alignment.

Key performance benchmarks and deliverables achieved during Phase 1 include:

• 100% Milestone Completion: Delivered all Phase 1 objectives on schedule and within the allocated budget of MYR 70,000.
• Validated D2C Subscription Roadmap: Successfully mapped and verified target consumer personas tailored to the Malaysian market.

• Interactive Functional Prototype: Delivered a high-fidelity design prototype that serves as the blueprint for full-scale app and web development.

• Unanimous Internal Buy-In: Overcame initial remote workshop skepticism to achieve full consensus across Jordan's regional executive team.

• Zero Operational Deficiencies: Earned a clean review with no areas of improvement identified by the client.

"Based on the challenges presented, Lizard has worked with Jordan to craft out the likely targeted consumer audience, develop personas, and go through several remote workshops to develop a probable solution... Nothing comes to mind [for improvement], and I look forward to continuing the journey onto Phase 2." ~ Ong Teong Dee, Country Manager Malaysia & Thailand, Jordan
