Problem

Instrument hires the best people with strong skill sets, but they are not leveraging the efficiently enough to help others growth and accomplish their expansion plans.

Solution

Create a resources platform for employees to form groups and identify internal and extranet events to assist in leveraging your skills to each other.

Objective


From the list of different user groups needs, my primary focus was on providing a tool for employees to learn additional skills from peers and empower each other.

Stakeholder needs and requirements 👉🏻
Exploration

Create a way for employees to join different types of groups to help them get more knowledge and encourage them to share with useful resources
Involvement

Help employees time-management about join events. Allow employees to see if there is any novelty at their company easier.
Management

The Instrument events are published by different types of interest groups so that employees could find the events' history as soon as possible.



Research & Competitors study

Meetup

Meetup brings people together in thousandas of cities to do more of what they want to do in life. It brings people together to do, explore, teach and learn.
Workplace

To help people in businesses connect and discover new ways of working. Groups are shared spaces for people to work together in teams, discuss common interests and share ideas. And groups are for working with anyone, even people at other companies. Conversation moves quickly, a message on Work Chat, often gets you the answer you need or keeps the whole team in the loop.
Messenger

The Messenger web app interface shows the importance of providing a platform for employees to communicate and discuss what interested them based on their joined interest groups. So, I create "group chat" as a similar use case for employees better-communication.

Icon

I was trying to create a set of the icon based on Instrument design trend, the clean, linear and easy to read icons. It designed to help users to read quickly with the tiny things so that they can figure out what for next step easier.

Use Case3 - EVENT

As a manager of the interest group, I need to post event inform our group members.

Three days later, there is an event comes from GOOGLE, Alan Smith will come here to show us Google illustration study guide.

Each events comes from differemt interest groups.

The Event will be published from “UX Design” group. And all of the employees can see it in the homepage later.
