As a contractor for @ForYouAndYourCustomers I have worked on a the design and execution of a series of workshops and the visualization for one of the foremost research organizations in the Netherlands.
The situation we found was a project fully staffed and has started both research tracks and had attracted budgets. However the focus and mutual understanding within the project team could be better. One tool to reach more focus and understanding is visualization called Exploded View through a concept by ForYouAndYourCustomers.
The objective was to create a shared mutual understanding of the future project organization so that project members have a better understanding of their contribution, can make a better individual and share planning with dependencies AND present such understanding in a strong visual way for future on-boarding and budgeting needs.
We have set up a series of workshops to focus the team members, start the conversation and distill the core values, mechanisms and players in their to be result. This resulted in visualizations filled with their thoughts and information. After each workshop we have created and refined the visualization for them to use in their pitch towards a go ahead to continue and get more budget.
The result was a project community that felt that they’ve missed the opportunity to gel and collaborate, a strong mutual planning towards the next few years and an objectively more structured and complete overview of the future organization and its effect upon society.
