Example reflection – Learning Launch

Challenge   I am a researcher in a chemical manufacture company that works in a digital transformation  initiative group of my organizations. We are working closely under the collaboration with other  research and developments (R&D) groups to implement the advance technologies in order to  improve the performance of the R&D processes.    Selection  Under the smaller thematic groups, at some point, we had done some analysis by some parts of  the Design Thinking processes. We started to described the conditions of the other research  group, list up of the ideas, brainstorming about the difficulties and the importance of the tasks  and then we started to implementing and experimenting about some ideas.    Application  For the first learning launch, we focused on the development of small prototypes of  visualization tools. Here, we assumed that our developed tools could help the communications  between us and our client group and also between the member of the internal groups. We tried  to delivered it quickly and reported the development regularly. We also analyzed the logs of the  access to the tools to map the interest to our tools. Here, we found out that the access was  higher than we expected, although it was quickly going down. However, interestingly, we found  out that the tools are still used even for 3 months after the first launch.  Furthermore, we took the anonymous survey on the users. The survey was included the  questions that mainly focused on the which tools are mainly used, the impact of the tools, and  what kind of improvements that they are expected. Some personal interviews were also  conducted, in order to get better insights of user’s need. We are starting the second learning  launch to improve the performance of our tools and implemented the user’s feedbacks into our  system.    Insight  By applying the design thinking process and followed by the learning launch, our team was able  to identify the real conditions and problems, build up some hypothesis, coming up with ideas,  and designed a concreate launches to test our hypothesis. In this case, we found out that our  approaches meet with our client expectations. Although some improvements are necessary, in  the near future, our group will review this insight, try to build other launches for different  clients, and incorporated the new insights to enrich the design.    Approach  Our team are gradually using the design thinking processes/tools in practice to deliver our  products to the other groups. Personally, I think that learning launch is a very strong tool to be  implemented in every design and development processes. It helps in order to more actively  adapts on the different type of clients, manage user’s expectation, continues improvement of  the designs, and to open for new opportunity for completely new designs.
