its products.

Who are they?
Meet Dave, IT Director

Responsibilities?
“I want an at-a-glance dashboard
of my environment.”

How Might We…?

“How might we ensure that
users don’t abandon the
registration process mid way?

“How might we ensure that users
find the registration flow quick
and easy to complete?

“How might we achieve a strong
consumer grade experience for
enterprise company app users?

Listen to Your Users
“I would love an app on
my phone that would
give me up-to-date
contact info for my
team. That would be
really valuable.”
“I want an easy
onboarding experience
with just a few clicks so I
can quickly access my
email, calendar, and
work apps.”

Who are we designing for?
Meet Maria!
She’s an Operations Team Manager, Kaiser Permanente.
“I manage a team of 35 people
and I’m mostly traveling. I send
email from my phone
constantly. I view calendar
invites and accept invites from
my phone and read documents
on my tablet.”

Back to Problem Statements
“ • How might we ensure that users don’t abandon the registration process mid
way?
• How might we ensure that users feel safe and comfortable, and find the
registration flow quick and easy to complete?
• How might we have a strong consumer grade experience for users in an
enterprise company app?
