Navigating the BI Landscape: A Federated Journey at L'Oréal

Prompt

1. Overall Poster Design & Visual Metaphor: Metaphor: We'll keep the "map/journey" metaphor. It's effective and flexible. Layout: Horizontal thirds: Top (Problem & Context), Middle (Artifact & Methodology), Bottom (Stakeholders & Expected Contributions). Color Palette: L'Oréal-inspired: soft grays, muted blues, and a single accent color (e.g., a specific gold or a brand-specific color). 3-4 colors max. Hand-Drawn Style: Maintain the hand-drawn aesthetic. Imperfections add character. Font: Clear, readable, hand-lettered style font (but not overly "scripty"). 2. Detailed Section Breakdown (with drawing suggestions): Top Third: Problem & Context Title (Large, Bold): "Balancing Act: BI Governance at L'Oréal" (Subtitle: "A Federated Approach") Problem Statement (Left Side): Visual: Keep the "tug-of-war" rope graphic. It visually represents the core tension. Text: "Global BI expansion: Central control vs. local needs. How do we balance?" (Even more concise). Context (Right Side): Visual: Stylized world map with markers on Europe, North America, and Asia (different colored markers for different brands). Text: "L'Oréal: Multi-brand, global. Diverse markets, diverse data." Middle Third: Artifact & Methodology Artifact (Left Side): Visual: The open "playbook" or scroll. Make it look physical. Add stylized icons inside representing different sections (lock for security, graph for KPIs, etc.). Text: "The Artifact: Federated Data Governance Playbook" (Large). Underneath: "Modular guidance: Balancing autonomy and standards." Methodology (Right Side): This is where we integrate the Design Science details more explicitly. Visual: The "journey" path remains. However, we'll add a "layered" aspect to show the Design Science Cycle and the Empirical Investigation. Main Path: The winding road with signposts representing the Design Science Cycle: Signpost 1: "Problem" (tug-of-war icon, smaller) Signpost 2: "Objectives" (target icon) Signpost 3: "Design & Develop" (gear icon) Signpost 4: "Demonstration" (flag icon) Signpost 5: "Evaluation" (magnifying glass/checkmark icon) Underneath the Path: Draw a separate, smaller "path" or "stream" representing the Empirical Investigation. Label it clearly. Along this path, add small icons representing: "Case Studies" (a book icon) "Experiments" (a test tube icon) "Statistics" (a graph icon) Text (Concise): Label each signpost on the main path with only the keyword. Label the Empirical Investigation path clearly. Below both paths, add a small box: Theoretical Framework: Visual: draw like a small cloud Text: Key Concepts: Centralization, Decentralization, Autonomy, Standardization. (List the core concepts. Don't explain them.) Add to the visual, interconnected circles for each concept Validation: "Interviews, Pilot Results, Metrics" (very brief). Bottom Third: Stakeholders & Expected Contributions Stakeholders (Left Side): Visual: 3-4 "character" icons: BI Teams, Brand Managers, Central Governance. Simple figures, slight differentiating characteristics. Connect them with arrows showing collaboration. Text: Label each figure. Beside each, a single word/phrase for the benefit: BI Teams: "Clarity" Brand Managers: "Freedom" Central Governance: "Control" Expected Contributions (Right Side): Visual: A "treasure chest" or a "lightbulb" (value or new knowledge). Text: "Expected Contributions:" (Large). Underneath (bullet points, very short): "Practical Framework for Federated BI" "Insights for Brand-Sensitive Governance" "Improved Data Quality & Adoption" Added text (smaller font): "Iterative, stakeholder-driven design." (Emphasizes the Design Science approach) "Contribution arguments link artifact to goals." (Highlights validation) 3. Key Changes and Integrations: Design Science Emphasis: The "layered" methodology section now clearly shows both the Design Science Cycle and the Empirical Investigation, visually separating them but showing their interconnectedness. Theoretical Framework: The small box highlights the key concepts, demonstrating a theoretical grounding without overwhelming the visual. Validation Reinforcement: The "Validation" text is now explicitly linked to the stakeholder goals, fulfilling the Design Science requirement. Iterative Nature: The phrase "Iterative, stakeholder-driven design" reinforces the cyclical nature of the approach. Conciseness Maintained: Despite adding more detail, we've kept the text extremely concise, relying heavily on visuals. 4. Drawing and Implementation: Follow the same drawing tips as before: practice, pencil first, consistent style, use white space, test legibility. The "layered" methodology section might require a bit more planning to ensure it's clear and not cluttered. Consider using slightly different line styles or colors for the two paths. The "Theoretical Framework" box should be visually distinct but not dominant. The added text in the "Expected Contributions" section should be small and unobtrusive, but still readable.
