MOCKUPS AND FLOWS BY ZOE WARSNIP AND BENJAMIN LAFLAMME
PHASE 1 IDEATION
Ideation on the ways in which we could lay out the personality test phase of on-boarding
Creating a sense of accomplishment and victory when being asked to join a project through an animated notification.
Working through the best ways to position differing options of teams for a single opportunity and deciding what is the most relevant decision in order to make this choice
The display of data and analytics that were not always quantifiable was a challenge as we worked to display non tradition metrics alongside more traditional ones
FIRST PROTOTYPE
PHASE 1 PROTOTYPE: CO-CREATOR
PHASE 1 PROTOTYPE: CATALYST
PHASE 2 IDEATION
Giving the user more control over the information being given to the system was an important change to users during testing
A trend and opportunity panel was added to help consolidate and unify the information a user would need to find on similar topics
The trend section became a series of flip cards with individual trends on each to make them more digestible and more impactful to the reader on mobile device
Testers found metrics to be too plentiful and hard to understand relevance and so each metric was made more approachable and they were shown in smaller numbers at a time.
ORGANIZATION GOALS Tracking organizational progress against set goals and desires allows you to stay on target during development. Being able to see all the potential areas for growth and improvement in one place gives
catalysts a better understanding of their organizations as well as peace of mind in making decision as to the distribution of resources.
PERSONAL DASHBOARD Tracking personal progress against set goals and desires allows co-creators to stay on target for personal development. Knowing how quickly they are progressing and in what areas allows them to make informed decisions as to where and how they want to spend their time.
The co-creator dashboard will not only show analytics but also give suggestions to improve their work efforts and personal wellbeing. Prompting them to engage in mutually beneficial partnerships, change their methods of handling certain tasks, or looking after mental and emotional aspects to provide holistic welfare.
ANTICIPATORY NOTIFICATIONS The system, sensing and perceiving opportunity is able to make predictions and judgments on the future needs of a project. Users are notified of the data used to make the prediction, as well as the course of action best suited
to addressing it. This allows teams to remain proactive instead of reactive all while reducing the amount of time spent managing the needs of a team.
UBIQUITOUS SENSING The on-boarding process involves four steps of account linking to allow users to select which areas of data they wish the system to mine with the understanding that the more the system knows the better it will be able to help the user.
The four areas of access that are focused on are productivity systems, work display services, social networks, and Internet of things enabled objects. These four areas encompass both personal and work life to ensure a seamless
experience further breaking down the barriers between the two.
CONVERSATIONAL NAVIGATION When a diverse set of problems and opportunities are negotiated in the work environment it can be increasingly difficult to create a one size fits all set of tools to help. To address this a conversational form of interface has been
used to enable users to more easily express themselves and allow the AI to ask the appropriate questions to more quickly and accurately understand exactly what the user is trying to work on. The conversational AI understands the content of the
conversation on a literal level and on a biometric level by reading into the tone of the conversation allowing for a deeper understanding.

FREELANCE OPPORTUNITY MAP These findings from our research led us to believe that for millennial users, which are now the largest generation and are soon to become the largest generation in the workforce, the area of largest potential impact would be a focus on
freelance. In order to better understand this market segment we mapped the impact that a freelance market place has on different sectors. - Legal - Economic - Logistical
MILLENNIALS IN THE WORKFORCE It is clear to us that millennials in the workforce exemplify these select traits better than any previous generation MOBILE Mobility is native to the millennial generation as they grew up with long distance communication readily available and the growth of the world wide web well underway making it easier to get any information anywhere you are. This environment has lead millennials to see everywhere as a place of work and play. They see their mindset as the differentiator more than a physical location.
COLLABORATIVE The desire for collaboration among millennials is derived from a deep seated need for connection as well as from wanting to have a seat at the table. The idea of a collaborative environment embodies a vision of an open work environment where there is a free exchange of ideas and where collective benefit outweighs personal advancement.
SOCIALLY DRIVEN Finally millennials are socially driven creatures, they are eager to participate in social awareness and are happiest when working for an organization that personifies and upholds their values. At the same time they are not opposed to lashing out against brands that go against their values such as was recently on display with the large anti united airlines social media campaign.
