Reflection - Angelo Adamo

Challenge:     The challenge chosen was my summer internship project involving the creation and

development of corporate education in a company of 150 employees. In recent months,

many employees were complaining about the lack of training and skills development

opportunities, in addition to being unmotivated and without knowing the company's

leadership. However, as a startup, employees have a busy routine. Therefore, the challenge

was to create corporate education in a simple and fun way to improve employee performance

and engagement. All available resources were those that the organization itself already had.    Selection:    Using several design thinking tools for each of the 4 questions, it was possible to collect a lot

of data and come up with several possible ideas. From this, it was necessary to understand

among the learning options which one would impress and work for employees. For this, I

chose the Learning Launch tool, with the main objective of identifying possible errors through

simple tests and improving the solution.      Application    The tool was applied 5 times, aiming to test each of the 5 ideas created. These ideas

involved creating a podcast, creating videos and texts, mentoring, a conversation circle and a

workshop With the help of the team of people, some podcast content was produced, others

in videos about the organization's culture. In addition, some lives were held to share content

between leaders and employees, in addition to two mentoring groups and a conversation

wheel for the entire company. Each of these applications was aimed at an audience of

specific employees. With the quick and simple application of the 5 forms of learning, we

collected feedbacks about them and the tool proved to be totally effective to fulfill the

expected objective.    Insight:    The tool was essential to ensure that our solution was served by employees. Among the

main insights obtained were that podcasts are the best way for employees to learn and that

the ideal is an average time of 20 minutes. Regarding the workshops, we identified that the

best way is to take place on a monthly basis and by an expert. In fact, these insights made it

possible to improve the solution and ensure engagement in activities.    Approach:    For the next time I apply the tool, I intend to use it even faster. I see that it took me a while to

apply, I should have tested the solution in a simpler way. I spent a lot of time elaborating

what would be tested and I see that there was no need for it to be complete. Why I want to

make mistakes quickly and learn even faster too.
