  The Invisible Decisions Behind Every Great Airline Digital Transformation

  Jul 13, 202627 min

  What happens between an airline signing a contract and a new digital platform going live? In this episode of Future Picks , Branchspace's Delivery Lead Robert Lizinovic joins host Clarissa Jenkins to explore what it takes to turn an ambitious vision into a successful implementation. The conversation begins with discovery, exploring how Branchspace travels to customers to run workshops that translate rough RFP requirements into a prioritised delivery plan. Robert also explains why every project is guided by a dedicated Delivery Manager, and how a headless, layered architecture gives airlines the flexibility to evolve without rebuilding from scratch.Along the way, he shares how alliance check-in integrations can now be delivered in days rather than months, why stopover bundle implementations reuse roughly 80% of their existing groundwork, and how continuous optimisation helps airlines keep improving after launch.Whether you work in delivery, product or vendor management, this episode offers a practical look at how successful airline digital platforms are built, not just launched.
