Context – My Organization 

 I work in a worldwide corporation in Human Resources department . In our country affiliate   every month we hire 30 - 60 people . New hires join various functions on different levels of our   organization . Our business language is English however we speak 20 + national languages and   operate as pretty diversified company . 

 Challenge 

 1 . New Hire ’s Perspective 

 How to make the experience of a New Hire seamless and pleasant starting from the moment of   accepting the job offer by the candidate until the moment of his / her first days at work ? 

 How to design initial on - boarding program to make it possibly engaging , inspirational   informative and easy to comprehend ? How to create the New Hire ’s experience that could be   ultimately summarized as the following perception : 

 “ Wow ! This is great and well organized company . I have made the right choice by joining it ! ” 

 2 . Hiring Manager Perspective 

 How to make Hiring Manager experience seamless and pleasant so that all that is required for   New Hire to become operational as of Day 1 would be ready before that date ? ( e.g. work place ,   desk , IT equipment , respective information systems access rights , etc . ) . 

 How to involve Hiring Manager in the initial on - boarding program so that he / she recognizes   benefits of this involvement for him / herself and his / her team ? 

 Selection ( all course modules , the whole cycle of : What is ? What if ? What wows ? What   works ? ) 

 We decided to select full - fledged Design Thinking methodology to map the experience of both   New Hire and Hiring Manager in order to learn about their current pain points , to define core   problems and to decide which of them and how will be addressed by company in a new   structured way . 

 Application 

 We have established cross - functional project team consisting of : 

 1 . just hired employees , 

 2 . hiring managers from all functions 

 as well as HR and IT functions representatives . 

 We have also identified a groups of other people who were and will be interviewed by project   team at different stages of our initiative . I took on the role of this project lead . So far , we have   run 5 day design thinking workshop that enabled us to : 

 1 . Clearly define problems that we want to address   2 . Come up with the first prototypes of solutions for both New Hires and Hiring Managers   3 . Initially validate our prototypes with both New Hires and Hiring Managers 

 Currently we are getting ready for another Design Thinking sprint ( workshop ) to brainstorm and   validate what ( in our corporate reality ) will be feasible as the ultimate solution that we could   propose to Hiring Managers , especially when it comes to developing a software that would   simplify the process of requesting for all necessary artefacts that are mandatory to make New   Hire operational as of Day 1 . 

 Insights 

 During 5 day workshop we have realized how effective and very collaborative Design Thinking   method is . Every participant could contribute and everyone was respected as equal contributor ,   regardless of his / her role or position in the company . Diversity of the team ( achieved by   involving representatives of various functions as well as by inviting people from different levels   of the organization ) enabled us to identify pain points we could not think of beforehand .   Collaborative form of the workshop also naturally instilled engagement of its participants and   created very positive energy and boost . Workshop participants also gained individually as they   all stated that they have learned a lot for themselves . 

 Application 

 As a project leader I have realized how important is the role of Design Thinking workshop   facilitator ( note : the role was not held by me ) . Listening skills as well as ability to be transparent   for workshop participants ( which means mostly helping the team to achieve however without 

 imposing on team members facilitator ’s own views ) are indeed crucial . Hence , for the next   workshop we will invest more time to prepare facilitators to their roles before we go for the   workshop . 

 Also many workshop participants met each other on the workshop for the first time . We did not   apply any “ ice - breakers ” so that team members could get to know each other first . Next time ,   before going for workshop I would first organize a small informal team building , e.g. in a form   of going together for lunch or dinner .
