Reflection – Learning Launch

Challenge

Working on a project involving multiple team members (from different work-streams such as IT,  analytics etc.) to work on a large number of data entries to provide meaningful insights, it was  required that the information gathered be in a uniform and organized manner. The domain  being worked upon was a new one, hence the team was cautious at the start and brought small  ideas to action one at a time. To mitigate the challenges of non-uniformity and to make sure  that the team members were synergized in their efforts an initial strategy was developed. The  goal was to develop data in a simplified form for both the end-user as well as the person  working on it.

Selection

The tool selected for the challenge was the learning launch. At the outset, the team members  worked independently to gather insights for the data entries to be populated as part of the  project. Later on, by collective brainstorming the team was able to identify, the key parameters  of interest which were then agreed upon to be assessed in the project. Multiple engagements  were done with the various stakeholders involved, to ensure that the process was compliant  with and ready-to-use for the end-user of the information.

Application

By gaining some actionable insights through this method, an initial prototype was developed on  a platform, to which the data was gathered. Throughout the process, multiple interactions  amongst the team ensured simplified processes and consistent data generation. Meanwhile,  based on the experience gained through the initial part of the project, a guidance document  was developed and put in place so that onboarding of any new team member could be carried  out seamlessly. The team developed a process to be followed which consisted of a set of steps  to be used while gathering the data in the prototype so that it avoids any duplication of work as  well as ensures streamlined flow of project.

Insight

The process followed to make the outcome more relevant for the multiple stakeholders  involved, ensured that the project met its intended purpose. The development of an initial  prototype which later evolved was helpful to maximize resource utilization. As a step-wise  process was developed into a guidance, it helped to sustain the process through change in  coworkers. Also, it helped track all the changes that were applied during the project, hence,  keeping a host of ideas and techniques that might as well come in to future use.

Approach

One of the most impactful tools that can help connect and develop is an environment of  coexistence. Through this approach, the power of collective brainstorming and engagement  with all the stakeholders for the common goal emerged as a winner. It can be very useful to  develop some actionable insights or a process while working and sharing it with others to  ensure that the end result is in the desired form. Later on in the interactions with other  coworkers, the process of keeping some time open for discussion with a prototype in place has  ensured that they have something to start with. The medium allows exchange of learnings and  ideas across various people involved, hence, a more cohesive and engaged team emerges.
