Introduction
Internal teams discussed two similar concepts around travel. This concept streamlined the management of meetings, appointments, and travel expenses.
Process
To create the scenario depicted in the video, we combined internal systems data (such as Google Calendar, travel booking, and travel cost tools) with information about distributed team locations and working habits, and added a touch of creative license.
I collaborated with a designer to develop a visual script for the concept, which I then animated. Our UX manager provided valuable feedback by helping us pressure test and refine our ideas.
Outcome
The video we created was met with a healthy dose of skepticism and intrigue, as is expected with anything that involves connecting internal corporate data. This was natural given that we were already doing some of these things, such as using calendars or systems to show nearby colleagues and suggesting people based on email groups and projects. Ultimately, it was a valuable experience to share these ideas.
