The Challenge

Our challenge was to design an all-in-one integral product that would group its suite of intelligence management products with a modern experience that is embedded swiftly into the user's daily workflow with a UX they would love. We accomplished this goal through Design Sprints, several instances of user testing, and their corresponding UX/UI iterations putting users at the center.

Outcomes

We crafted a modern UX that users deem familiar and that's crafted by being mindful of their daily practices and jobs to be done.

A solid product validated by 3 user testing rounds to ensure we are delivering value and impact. We did it in three stages, with over 80 designed screens.

Working with prototypes saved the client the cost of developing features and ideas that won’t resonate with our client’s users.

They validated the new product while gaining a deep understanding of their users, and their usual workflows which is valuable both for marketing and their future roadmap.

We designed a scalable UI focusing on usability and streamlined design.

The company learned the process of conducting a complete Design Sprint for future iterations and incorporated practices to conduct user research.

Understanding our customer is just the first step

A prestigious information management services company with a proprietary technology that delivers business-critical insights that clients use to increase their competitive awareness, reduce risks and make strategic decisions was faced with a series of institutional changes.

Amongst them, a new C-suite that came with a fresh and game-changing outlook, as well as a need for a Thinking and Innovation partner.

One of the challenges they wanted to address was a churn, sometimes to less advanced digital products, that evidenced the need for a design revamp that updated the experience and put users first. 

Initially, we worked together on a Design Workshop and got to know each other by creating a shared understanding of their product, its users and their goals, and the overall vision: in a nutshell, the balance between business objectives and user needs that transforms a product into a reliable part of lives.

Infodesk's new C-suite came with a fresh and game-changing outlook, as well as a need for a Thinking and Innovation partner.

One of the challenges they wanted to address was a churn, sometimes to less advanced digital products, that evidenced the need for a design revamp that put users first. And because human-centered design is our passion and expertise, we’re uniquely positioned to transform your digital products by humanizing the experiences embedded in them.

First, we worked together on a Design Workshop and got to know each other by creating a shared understanding of Infodesk, its users and their goals, and the overall vision: in a nutshell, the balance between business objectives and user needs. And while both elements are incredibly important in the making of a company, our experience tells us that when the business is based on a Web App, User Experience becomes a central tenet for success. This means that when products are shaped under a user-centric approach, we’re setting them up for the real success: becoming a part of their users’ daily lives.

THE SOLUTION

We mocked up
+80 screens
during
6 UI iterations

Building a shared vision

We worked on narrowing down the problem, users and concrete area of application in order to focus on one small part of the needs and deliver a better solution for it. As a team, we decided to tackle the challenge of how to transform the user experience for both Regulatory and Business Intelligence analysts working in the Life Sciences topic.

Then, we held a Design Sprint.

This increasingly popular technique crams a series of activities that go from problem to idea to prototype to user testing in just one week (you can read more about it here). During the 5 days of the Design Sprint, we worked together as one team to map, sketch, decide, prototype and test different concepts. 

This marked a very important milestone for our client’s team, who had never tested a prototype with real users before launching a new feature or change before. And once feedback started pouring in, we launched the second phase of our work together: iterations.

The results of our Design Sprint were what in the industry we like to call a flawed success. We decided to discard the ideas that didn’t perform well in the testing stage, but found many of them that held value for their users.

Insight that becomes foresight

After the Design Sprint, we worked together on its findings for three weeks. Iterations of UX/UI design meant we created and tested over 80 interlinked Hi-Fi screens that we tested with actual users. 

During those three weeks we iterated, expanded and tested a number of ideas and features. Some of them were a result of cross-pollinated research from platforms and disciplines that at first sight are completely different from our client, but on a deeper level serve similar purposes as information hubs.

Based on conversations with users, we kept some of those ideas as designed, we let go of others, and modified the remaining ones to help them become more suitable to the final users’ everyday lives and workflow, and integrable with tools of their trade.

We completed a total of three user testing rounds, furthering our visibility on acceptance and appropriation of the new revamp.

THE validation

We ran 15 user tests in 3 rounds

A new experience

We're proud of helping this information management company discover the value and richness of user testing activities from our role as thinking partners.

Once we collected, analyzed and prioritized the information we gathered, we created a new experience that respects and prioritizes the findings we obtained through users. This included a new Design System based on their current branding, a series of components developed from scratch for their users’ needs and goals, and the complete UI for their star product.

But above all, it implies a new, improved and human-centric approach that reduces uncertainty and risks, and will be an important part of their success. 

The validations we obtained from users played a key role, supported by a UX quality process that backs the definition of a clear roadmap for future iterations.

Our role as thinking partners

Asking. Digging deeper. Maintaining focus.

Asking. Digging deeper. Maintaining focus.

These are the things that we do once we commit to being your thinking partner. We’ll ask questions about why you do things, dive into the assumptions that have led you there, and help you tackle challenges one edge at a time while materializing your ideas. Our framework helps us find collaborative ways of thinking and detecting improvement opportunities.
