Reflection – Learning Launch

Challenge

I’m part of my organization’s technical department in Oil Company and my/our challenge is to developed  the workflow (activity / project) between the department in order to accelerate production of new oil  well with electrical submersible pump while permanent electrical power not available yet. The project  scope includes project department, electrical department as well as operation support department, with  whom we work closely. The project is limited to internal resource (budget and time). The project should  not exceed 60 business days and the solution must include clear breakdown activity with timing among  involve departments. We will focus on trying to uncover what was the blocking factor from each  department, consider to be ineffective or problematic with regards to the workflow

Selection

Based on the existing challenge our team has already gone through several design thinking activity/tools  and study the existing problematic from each department, so we are ready to implemented learning  launch tool. Frankly speaking, the learning launch is an experiment meant to quick test an idea and  prototype

Application

For our first learning launch, we focus on the original workflow and activity time frame. In particular, we  want to analyze if we could simplified, eliminate and substitute project, scope of work and process to  adapt the method of scrum technical project for our work (e.g. technical review, time boxed, location  acceptance, daily, specific meeting, etc.) in an effort to become slim and time frame achievable. This  tested our assumption that the technical substitution and way of execution were the main cause of our  project workflow challenge. Our team attending several technical meeting with project, electrical and  operation support expert. Next we went to well site to plan the layout in order to arrange in such a way  new method could be implemented. These to session occurred within a three-week timeframe. We  continue the process to produce a document with a clear technical step, required material and clear time  frame of our new, more efficient project execution method.

For our second learning launch, we focus on gaining clarity about our task step and priority check list. This  tested our assumption that our prioritization of task was the main cause of our workflow challenge. Our  team completed all supported technical document, technical review, complete identification and  specified of require material, agreed on well site layout and streamline timeframe for each activity.  Including procuring required material and man power planning.

Insight

By implementing the learning launch control, our team able to identify our blocking factor to achieve the  goal in detail. Is important to have understanding of the problem that going to solve. Succeed to  understanding problem and expected goal, impacting on easier to solve the issue, listing all possible  solution, define priority of the task, and set clear process step with timeframe. Finally the task execution  could be proceed effectively and efficient, in result on goal achieve as per expectation and timeframe

Approach

In fact that our team has already gone through several design thinking activity / tool and are at this stage  in the timeline, the learning launch is the suitable tool. It been mentioned that out team required to  review the insight gained from our first two launches and incorporate this insight to the future launch  design. Future launch design will be preferable solution ready to implemented
