Digital Strategy · Delivery and Change · Human-Centred AI

Strategy is the easy part.
I help teams get it done.

I'm Lauren Foster, a Calgary-based digital strategist and delivery lead with nearly 20 years across design, brand, UX, and e-commerce. I run the discovery sessions, design the workflows, keep projects moving, and turn the results into stories leaders can act on. Right now I'm helping small organizations adopt digital tools and responsible AI in ways that keep people at the centre.

What I Do

I started as a designer, and it still shapes how I work. I look at how things really work for people before I try to fix anything.

Delivery and Change

I take projects from scoping to launch and help teams settle into new tools and ways of working. You get clear timelines, progress you can see, and the SOPs and training that keep the change in place after launch.

Discovery and Digital Strategy

Before anything gets built, I talk to the people involved. Discovery and design-thinking sessions, journey mapping, and stakeholder interviews show what’s really happening. Then priorities come from evidence, not from whoever is loudest in the room.

Data and Storytelling

I pull the numbers from tools like Power BI and Tableau and turn them into visuals and plain-language summaries leaders actually read. Being a designer helps here.

Human-Centred AI

AI should give people time back, not take over the parts of the work that need a human. I look at where your organization is today, find practical places to start, and set priorities your leadership can act on.

How I Work

01

Listen first

Talk to the people doing the work.

02

Map what’s real

Find out how things actually run, not how the org chart says they do.

03

Test small

Try it, measure it, adjust.

04

Make it standard

Build the workflows, training, and feedback loops that keep it working.

Who I Work With

Organizations hiring

I’m open to full-time and contract roles leading delivery, digital strategy, or change. Most recently that has meant a platform migration that grew online sales 210% during a major acquisition.

Small businesses, charities, and nonprofits

Through my consulting practice, I help teams plan and deliver digital and AI work without losing the human side of their business.
