PROCESS
Hypothetic Journey Map_ I did this first journey map in order to understand what happens, where, how, for who... used it as a tool.
Role play session_ My boss and I acted as patients in order to see what happens during a consultation, from the waiting room to the end of it.
- These two methods together with other research were key for me to start having a feeling of what was the whole interaction and context about before moving to the fieldwork research. - How are the patients feeling while waiting (months) for the expected consultation? - How are doctors dealing with tight schedule consultations?
Ethnographic fieldwork_ · Was inside 16 consultations. · Did 3 interviews before and after consultation. · Went to visit 3 patient at their homes.
“Mean” · Will for empathy. · Being skeptic about the context and while objective about its nature .“Fuel” · Not knowing what will the research bring, while keep on going on. “Purpose” ·Self daily voice messages reflection to have another point of view about what happened once I would start synthetising. · Each day was a new opportunity to reshape the project approach. Me interviewing a patient.

- Partnering with the hospital enabled a continuous co-evolving process and strategy reshaping. I enjoyed being able to help the hospital as an organization by putting both employees and patients in the centre. - As a designer, I felt my role was key to provide an understanding to the hospital about the context and the needs of the people from such ecosystem. -

KEY BENEFITS OF THIS OPPORTUNITY FOR:
IDEAS:
Co-evolution, Dicovery Workshop_ We did a cycle of workshops with the Global Custoemr Experience team where we exchanged insights and generated key opportunities for their organization.
- The pharmaceutical team learned a lot by being involved in a research design process especially during the interviews.-To my mind this, type of collaborations are essential not only for the end user (patients in this case) but also for the culture and habits of the organization.-
Case 4_
HONEXT Explore why we check our phones when we don’t need to to provide a more purposeful experience when interacting with it. (This was the first chapter of the project. However, once the course ended I decided to continue it to understand the business side of it).

TO REMOVE OUR PHONE SCREEN FROM THE LIMELIGHT
Streching your priorities. A tool that prevents you to check your phone unnecessarily by touching it or seeing it. Also that could keep you aware of what matters to you.

OUTCOME

User’s phone is wrapped with HONEXT
The user is occupied with a task.
She receives a notification and turns her head towards the screen of the phone.

Since HONEXT is there, the user is supported to consider whether she pays attention to the phone or keeps on working. She considered what matters most for her at that moment.
- Designers can play a big role in humanizing digitalisation of descentralised work environments.- I submitted this project at TU Delft Impact Contest where I am currently finalist (15/6/20). I wanted go further turn this into a more viable product and service. Currently, Honext aims to offer physical and seamless solutions for those companies who are willing to provide a bertter digital wellbeing experience to their meillennial employees.

Process These final key insights belong to the User pillar research, the pillar I was responsible for and the part I worked on the most.
WoonWolken stakeholder map.
Outcome This is the journey that our targeted millennials would take. All the content we developed as outcome was thought to address our target audience. However the client Rabobank also received more detailed deliverables.
- Despite the project being kicked off a month before the pandemic, the team had enough time to create the strongest bonding. All, but also me, felt engaged in a problem that is extremely affecting and from which we -millennials- have little information and resources. The greatest learning of this project was to see how a group of designers could become intrapreneurs inside a big Dutch corporate and deliver an intervention with the most social impact. -
