Challenge
"How might we position Wheel the World as the leader in the accessibility industry to enhance their awareness?"
Solution

Project Brief
As an accessible travel agency, Wheel the World (known as “WTW”) has various expertises relevant to accessibility and large offerings of accessible travel options, making it a great solution for accessible travel experience. Currently, WTW wants to position itself as the leader in accessible travel. They require a global communication strategy to make society aware that accessibility is a priority and a right for all human beings. How can WTW position itself within the US and around the world at the forefront of thought leadership and change?
This is a comprehensive strategy design plan for the mentioned challenge. While developing a corporate strategy, Vision & Goal (Mental Model), Organizational Change, Service & Products, User Experience and Visual Identity are five layers in a pyramid model(refer to the following chart) which a Design Strategist should consider. This project mainly tackle the Organizational Change and User Experience layers in the pyramid model. After making various analyses, It plans to set up an Expert Department within WTW to offer various professional guidelines, training programs and ranking criterions in the accessibility industry. It also plans to upgrade WTW's brand to a more inclusive figure and create merchandise to help WTW reach more target consumers. These actions would emphasize the professional WTW’s status and enhance its authority, helping them to build their leadership in accessible travel and pave the way for their future cooperation with various partners.
