Final Assignment – LEARNING LAUNCH 

 1 . Challenge 

 I am working in a multinational company as a financial auditor . In my department , we   are use to carry out several audits in a short period of time . Every audit last certain days   or weeks , depending on the client situation or type of audit : whether it ’s the first year   auditing the client , whether it ’s a big - size client or not , the client ’s sector , the client ’s   historical financial reports , etc . In most of those audits , we also take part of different   teams , as we readapt their length depending on the staff needed for each audit . That   means that we often need to deal with lots of different and sensitive information at the   same time , while performing the audits in the busy season , and also considering that a   fluency of the information provided by the client is essential to ensure our deadline   achievements . 

 So in one of the teams I was taking part , we realized that the information list that we   firstly provide to the client before physically starting our job , was often ignored by them   until we got there , and that we use to experience delays in the reception of the   documentation that we need to develop our auditing tasks , and that often made us end   up with refocusing some jobs with barely having margin for that . My team decided to   meet and design a sort of solution to reinforce the client implication . 

 We decided to ask for the IT department ’s support , in order to launch a platform , where   we would upload the information list pattern with at least one month in advance , and   the client would need to upload all the information to the platform , instead of sending   us emails . That platform should be connected to our job planning , so it would know our   next assignments , sending us reminder emails to upload the information list on time ,   and the same to the client ’s side , pushing them to provide us more information on time ,   having reminders for each little deadline that would be previously stablished regarding   to the different epigraphs where we are performing work in the annual accounts . 

 2 . Selection 

 My department often introduces some changes that can lead us to an improvement in   some areas . However , that little actions are rarely related with the innovation design   thinking . This time though , our whole team , with the IT department support too ,   decided to use one of the most powerful and effective tools of the design thinking , called   the Learning Launch . 

 So , to test how this new platform was working , we decided to use the Learning Launch   approach , as a design thinking strategy that is capable to easily and rapidly test an idea ,   without implying much money , and to know if this works , before implementing it in the   whole structure . 

 3 . Application 

 So , after the meeting with the IT department and all my team members , we decide to   test the efficiency of our idea through the Learning Launch tool , launching a platform   called “ InfoGo ” , that would be useful to easily connect our information needs with the   client , and improve the information flow , firstly trying it in a small amount of   assignments . We decided to test it in 4 teams in total ( one was ours ) , in small audits   ( maximum audits that lasted 2 weeks ) that were running simultaneously . 

 In a period of 2 months , we could end up with some interesting insights , as the IT   department firstly needed from 2 to 3 weeks to set up the basic platform pattern , then   the 4 teams engaged uploaded the information list adjusting it to each client features ,   and then , wait about one month to physically start the audit after having collected most   of the information we needed , and finally , having the 2 physical - time weeks to collect   some extra info that might have arose from the job . 

 4 . Insight 

 By applying the Learning Launching tool , the teams implicated in the test , met again to   compare the advantages and downsides in our work , and all of us agreed in the success   of the new platform “ InfoGo ” , as an easy - to - use method that gave both us and the   client , a better opportunity to collaborate and feel engaged with each other . “ InfoGo ”   reminded us with margin enough ( as it is connected with our planning ) , the need to   upload the information list , so we did n’t feel the pressure to worry about that .   Moreover , this was also easier to fill due to the pattern list that the platform provided   to us , so that we only needed to tick the desired information . 

 It also gave to the client , the sense of responsibility knowing that every information   epigraph shows its own deadlines and the client also receive reminder emails to ensure   that they wo n’t miss our need , and the grade of collaboration increased significantly , so   we could finish the work on time . 

 We both ( audit team and the client ) took advantage of the increase in safety regarding   to the information flow , as we all know that is a sensitive considered information , that   uploaded in the platform , both made sure to have and to check whenever we need ,   avoiding to miss some emails or delete them , or lose some important information . 

 5 . Approach 

 After having used this tool , we just realized that has been a really useful approach that   in this particular case has perfectly suited to our work , leading us to achieve a big   improvement based on a small and quick test of an idea , that after having proved its   success , we could start applying in all the upcoming audit works . So , in our future   meetings to assess an audit issue , we will consider to use this again to check the validity   of the future idea .
