Sandip Amlani, a Regional Digital Lead, launched the first Centre of Excellence (CoE) experimentation team for Cisco in the EMEAR region. Soon after, an internal directive was made to improve how Cisco did optimization globally. Cisco is a $51 billion company with 71,000 employees across 96 locations worldwide. Establishing experimentation across a complex enterprise such as Cisco would be a challenge.
Sandip ran internal workshops with various teams to gain consensus on using a federated CoE structure for global experimentation. He also workshopped all the areas Cisco would need to run a global CoE.
Now the Cisco team knew where they wanted to go, they needed to evaluate where they were and create a roadmap to get them from point A to B.
