Case study · Business operations and AI
Building an AI-enabled operating system for a growing business
The Signal has built one connected operating system across relationships, client delivery, programs, events, marketing, team access, governance and AI-supported work.
Project view
The challenge
As the ecosystem grew, important information and work were spread across tools, conversations and Michelle's memory. Another dashboard would not solve the underlying fragmentation.
What we did
Designed a source-of-truth-led operating system connecting the major parts of the business. Structured relationships, content, work, permissions and governance first, then added role-based interfaces, automations and AI assistants around real workflows.
The shift
One connected source of truth across major business functions
