Example reflection – Visualization

Challenge & Selection

I am a graphic designer and work for an email marketing agency,  as a team, we design  and develop web sites, graphic design, communication strategies and social networks.  When we have an any kind of these projects, our results are not the best cuality because  of our disorganization, we don´t have a process and workflow.

There are 3 areas to organize the workflow in order to execute the workflow:  Coordination /  Communication team / Design team. these 3 areas are commonly in  misunderstandings because of  there is no time enough to clear up doubts, and analyze  the projects to know what objectives they must meet. So the results have many changes  on the way and sometimes they must be done twice. This is a waste of time, we lose  clients, energy and co-workers are not happy.

Application

The idea is to create a workflow to use time appropriately to not lose clients, create  better projects that meet their needs, happy clients and happy co-workers.

We  create a mind mapping by talking about the way we make the request of every area  and clarifying the misunderstandings between us in a wokflow, every area made cards of  their needs to do better. We put at the top the coordinator, who will be responsable for   bringing the projects and explain them to communication team and desing team, then  together answer to the 4 questions to design thinking process: what is? what if? what  wows? and what works? for every project we face.

Once we obtain enough ideas and data from that process, we can create a schedule  where coordination delivers their part to communication area, then communication area  can make contents and plan their strategy  and communicate to design team objetives,  kinds of graphic or digital materials to deliver, graphic style and material to work with.  Then design area is ready to work their magic and deliver design proposals according to  what the client needs to resolve their need.

Once design team finish, coordination / communication team and design team, have  a detailed review of the design proposals doing improvements if neccesary. And then  coordination can show them to the client. This way time will be enough to have an  effective workflow.

Insight and Approach

As a team we´ve learned, how important is to have a workflow to be succesfull in our  porjects and to feel happy about our co-workers, taking time to look inside projects,  solving them effectively and meeting ther needs properly, and how if every team works  their line there won´t be misundestandings, and the work can be more easy. And in the  way we can make improvements in our workflow, lloking at what wokrs and does not  work for us.
