Ankit Paul     Learning Launch Exercise 

 Learning Launch Tool - Implementation 

 Challenge 

 I was working in my family business and we are wholesalers selling home appliances and other products   in the business . Since the business was setup long time back by my father who is not that fluent with   technology and other software ’s and because of the increase in the use of technology , my father had to   draft bills and then hire an accountant who would then have to copy those bills on the system . The   project scope included the computerising the billing system . The project was limited to internal   resources . We setup the time limit for this project implementation to 30 days . We focused on trying to   uncover what our family members , as well as key stakeholders like accountant , consider to be   ineffective or problematic with regard to the workflow . 

 Selection 

 Because of these , I had to take the initiative to completely computerise the Accounting system . So , I   along with Dad and Accountant had to go through several design thinking activities / tools , so that we   were able to try the learning launch tool . Broadly speaking , the learning launch was an experiment   meant to quickly test the idea and prototype . 

 Application 

 For our first learning launch , we tried focused on the structure / execution of implementing the   technology by reviewing various sources and trying to find the best alternative among all of them . In   particular , we wanted to see if we find the best possible solution which would not only be efficient but   also cost effective . This tested our assumption that the structure and execution were the main cause . We   than selected and finalised Tally ERP as the software which was the best alternative we could have fond   and also as a backup , we kept a local vendors product . 

 For our second learning launch , we focused on gaining clarity about our tasks and priorities . We had to   train our team including my dad for a 14 - day training . Next , steps was trails and workshops held so that   we can step whether the employees have actually understood it well . These occurred within in a month   timeframe . We expected to produce a document with a clear description of our new , more agile   processes / workflow . Additionally , we also had to conduct anonymous survey . Our team completed that   anonymous survey . The surveys included questions about our new , proposed process , understanding   the process and the prioritization of tasks , and feelings about the change , and were conducted within   two - week timeframe . 

 Insight 

 By applying the learning launch tool practically in our business , we identified our assumptions and   designed launches to test these assumptions . Additionally , we were also sceptical about the anticipated   results , with the expectation that we might find a more agile approach would improve our workflow ,   and that both our team and the key stakeholders would be fairly open to the new prioritization of tasks   and process . Our actual results were varied from our anticipation while our team was open to the   prioritization of tasks and process , the key stakeholders expressed some concerns about the investment   and hassle it would have in the implementation .

 Approach 

 Since our family had already gone through several design thinking activities / tools and were at that stage   in the timeline , the learning launch was the appropriate tool . As I had previously mentioned , our team   needs to review the insight gained from our first two trail and incorporate that insight into future launch   designs . Future launch designs should probably reflect insight gained , progress made , and come closer   to a compelling solution ready for full rollout .
