LEARNING LAUNCH – FINAL ASSIGNEMENT – Diadie Singh 

 Challenge 

 The challenge I present is a real case in which we applied the method of Design Thinking in its 

 different phases . Our users are people in our sales department . This means , they carry a device 

 along the whole day , also to our customers . This device 

 has measures of 22 cm.x 10 cm . X 2.5 cm . ( Length x width x 

 height ) and weighs 500 g. 

 The challenge that we were proposed was to raise ways to bring the device as 

 functional , comfortable and aesthetic for the sales staff ( men and women ) . 

 At the beginning of this phase of the project , we had 7 prototypes to test with them . Each 

 prototype was very different in terms of : handling , 

 type of fabric , accessory details . 

 With these 7 different prototypes , we should determine which worked and which did not , and 

 for those who worked , what and how they should be improved . 

 Selection 

 With the range of possible proposals , our objective at this stage was to determine which were 

 really valid and could finally be real solutions to carry the device . Because our sales staff can 

 be male / female and different age , we had to see if one product was 

 enough to give as a solution or we would validate different from them . 

 Learning Launch the tool is the best way to perform this test because we had groups of 

 sales staff to whom we could perform testing of prototypes . 

 Application 

 The first learning launch was made with a group of 8 people ( 5 men / 3 women ) of different 

 Age . 

 We arranged a meeting in which each salesmen was provided with a kit with 7 different 

 prototypes models with detailed explanation - how to carry , instructions , etc . - In this phase , 

 our technical staff was with us , so questions or doubts could be solved . 

 This test phase lasted a month . At the end of the month we held a meeting with all salesmen to 

 obtain feedback from each of them . The conclusion of this first learning launch was to dismiss 

 2 prototypes and make improvements in the remaining 5 . 

 We made a second learning launch with improved prototypes with another group of the sales staff , 

 following the same process as before . At the end of the round , with the feedback obtained we 

 refined the prototypes . 

 Finally we considered a third learning launch with sales staff who were in the initial phase of 

 introducing the device , so they had no vices , as in former groups of salesmen we diagnosed 

 sometimes were little open to admit new ways to bring the apparatus because they were 

 already used to a specific way . 

 At the end of this stage we got confirmation of 4 prototypes fully validated in terms of way to 

 wear , fabrics , and accessories . 

 Insights 

 At the beginning of the Learning Launch process we were unclear of how many rounds of 

 testing would be required . The application of the same process gave us the key . 

 In the meeting with sales staff and technical staff held at the end of the first learning launch , we gave 

 the first clue of the prototypes to be dismissed ; They did not meet the functionality that 

 should be required . 

 In the second learning launch we tested the refined prototypes and got further feedback with 

 improvements to be made as on fabrics . 

 At the end of the third learning launch , we got four validated prototypes . 

 Approach 

 After the second learning launch , we did not give the phase concluded , because we questioned 

 what would happen to new salesmen with the device . Previous learning launch were conducted 

 with salesmen who had had time with the device which gave us the insight that they were 

 people less open minded for introducing different ways . 

 This gave us the key to the need for a third learning launch with new salesmen 

 because we made assumptions or assumed problems we had to contrast . 

 Future learning launch should get all range of different users from the beginning .
