Approach and implementation

The preparations were extensive and took time, and partly to sell in the organization, which was due to the fact that it was a little unclear what we would do, and partly that it required pre-emption to get the right participants from several departments. It also took time to formulate the case. When the consultant got into the picture, the work and the layout became clearer. First, identify the customer process with the help of deep interviews, which became the background for the three-day sprint of idea generation and prototyping that followed.
