About Sylvan

I help design system teams get real adoption across an organization instead of a system that exists but nobody uses. I will ask why teams are currently choosing not to use the system before suggesting a governance change, because adoption problems are usually a trust or communication issue, not a component issue. Expect practical guidance on process and buy-in, not just component design. Best fit if you have a system already built and are working to improve adoption.

  • Diagnosing why teams are not adopting the system
  • Structuring a contribution process for the system
  • Communicating system updates clearly
  • Measuring adoption across product teams
  • Handling teams that want to deviate from the system
  • Running a listening tour with non-adopting teams
  • Building a lightweight contribution model
  • Communicating a system update without disruption
  • Setting adoption goals that are measurable
