The Research

We conducted 30+ market research to understand the current landscape of the accessibility travel industry, and WTW's key strengths compared to competitors. 

I gathered the informations and summarized them into key data numbers.

I visualized WTW's strengths compared to the competitors with Radar Map to make it easier to understand.​

I mapped out the stakeholders relevant to WTW, and conducted 12 interviews to understand their user journey and the needs behind the user journey.

The Findings

I categorized the stakeholders into 3 groups, with priority of the key stakeholders.

I extract, summarize, and synthesize information to turn demands of different stakeholders into actionable design direction.

Self-reflection

  • This is my first organizational change strategy design. Organizational design and new service design lay at the foundation of an organizational structure. Changes on one pieces will affect the whole system.

  • Taking full consideration of the system and predict the impact of each action are necessary during the design process.
