DevFacto guided Sturgeon County through two workshops to unlock knowledge about their business, generate innovative ideas, and build empathy and understanding amongst their users. The activities involved in DevFacto’s Inspiration Workshop helped identify the high-level key requirements for Sturgeon County’s intranet, while the Ideation Workshop generated specific ideas to address those key requirements. As a group, DevFacto and Sturgeon County were able to take these final ideas and progress them to a stage of low-fidelity prototyping.
Following the Inspiration and Ideation Workshops, Sturgeon County and DevFacto had identified three ideas that were moved into a low-fidelity prototyping stage. These prototypes will serve as the first three activities to be built on the company intranet.
Through the guided cycles of discussion, brainstorming, voting, and prioritizing, the team was able to define in detail, the end-state of their company intranet that would meet company needs most fully, thereby delivering maximum value upon implementation. Having a detailed end state as well as a prioritized list of actions means that for Sturgeon County, their discovery and implementation process will be significantly more effective and efficient.
