Reflection - Learning Launch 

 Challenge 

 I work in the Project Management department in my organization and the challenge my organization   is currently posed with is not having a Business Continuity Strategy in place in the case where an   unpredicted or unplanned event takes place and disrupts the business thereby , workers can not go   about their daily activities . My organization is set to implement a Business Continuity Management   System to cater for uncertainties if a disruption occurs . The project scope is implementing a   business continuity strategy for all business units in the organization while prioritizing the IT   department . The project must be implemented within two months with key stakeholders from   Project Management , Credit Risk and IT comprises of the core project team . We have been   mandated by management to conduct Business Continuity Management System training for key   stakeholders , alongside Business Impact Analysis Workshops , Risk Assessment for identified critical   processes before arriving at strategies to be implemented , all within a two - month period . 

 Selection 

 The project team has gone through several workshops using various design thinking activities and   tools , and we agreed to make use of the learning launch tool . This was selected so we can quickly   test the strategies the team came up with and see if it yields the expected result before its finally   implemented 

 Application 

 For the first learning launch , we moved all staff to another location to test if they can work effectively   and yield the same result as with their current location in the event a disruption occurs in the   current location . We discovered majority of the staff were restless as they were not used to this   location . We proceeded to make an exact replicate of their work location for them so as not to fill   out of place . We then carried out another exercise and found out that employees were less   distracted this time around and were more comfortable 

 For our second learning launch , we asked all employees to work remotely to check if they could   work effectively with little or no supervision . We discovered some employees could not access some   of the organization ’s critical applications outside the office building . We then proceeded to make   these applications accessible via VPN in the case where the office building or alternate location is not   accessible during a disruption . 

 Insight 

 By applying the learning launch tool through carrying out these exercises we discovered some   loopholes in the strategies to be created and made necessary fixes to make it effective in the case   where a disruption occurs . The initial results were different from what we anticipated , however , as   the fixes were made the results yielded were positive . These strategies will be implemented as we 

 have seen that they are efficient . This made the team realize that it is important to carry out tests   and not just base your ideas on assumptions that they will yield expected results 

 Approach 

 Having gone through several design thinking activities , I will be making use of the learning lunch tool   in situations where necessary and make it an iterative process until the expected result is derived .   This is because with this tool you know what to expect .
