With the major digital transformation, its is imperative if people working on different parts of the huge enterprise system evaluate the problem space, share individual and group perspectives and thrive innovative approach to solve the critical issues.
‍
Being a huge team with different work areas and different time schedule, it is very difficult to for them to work on every Ides and solve problems together.

Research

Plan

Before I started designing, it was critical to understand who we were designing for and their goals and problems. I divided my research into initial  comparative analysis and contextual interview. It helped me to gain initial insight into users.

Methods

Interview

I did 4 interview with 2 developers and 1  system architect and 1 Technology director to understand their perspective about how easy it to communicate and implement new ideas.

Comparative Analysis

i) To Understand the Existing solution
ii) To know the perspective of Business solution team.



‍

Comparative analysis

Anthem business solution team uses Share-point and Idea-hub to share work and ideas within the department and across departments.

Sharepoint

Employee can share their work within and outside the department through share point.
Key Features:
a) File Sharing
b) Centralised
c) Proof of concept can be shared for new ideas

Idea Hub

Employee can share their ideas on IdeaHub across.
Key Features :
a) People can share their Ideas
b) People can review and provide feedback
c) People can share their work

Market Research

I did market research to see what are the existing tools available which helps teams to collaborate asynchronously. I found apps like Miro and Slack which is been used by companies and professionals.

What people do with their ideas?

While working people often face a certain problems and sometimes they think of potential solution that can help them handling that problem.
In a normal office scenario people think of the idea but they often don't know what to do with that idea.
The idea either get lot because of the busy deadlines and priorities, or as a meeting notes in the mails. Many times the ideas never take a shape, and get lost in the everyday routine.

Redefine Problem

1. Not able to map a problem and brainstorm ideas together.

2. Collaboration outside the department and teams are difficult.

3. Unequal high level visibility among people

4 Lack of motivation to work on something other than the main Job responsibilities.

5. Low user engagement on existing solution for sharing ideas.

Testing

Usability

I went back to our interviewees to get their feedback and 100% of the participants agreed with the premise of the solution and liked the usability of the application.
The overall response was positive and the user interface was unanimously appreciated, adding on to the simplistic nature of the application.

Reflection

It was a self initiated project, I learnt how in a little time an design ideas can be build with the help of formal discussion and casual conversation with teams.
