Challenges:

  • Prepare employees for a technology upgrade
  • Work around resource constraints in corporate communications to convey clear information quickly
  • Reduce or fend off anticipated inbound calls to IT help center staff
  • Deliver in 48 hours or less to meet distribution deadline, without a budget

Tactical Approach:

  • Develop an explainer using screencast technology (script, voice, edit and post-produce), without incurring costs beyond regular payroll
  • Compare and contrast current and future state UX
  • Edit and post-produce with existing assets (no additional cost incurred)

Results:

  • Single resource (me); approximately 12 working hours spent from ideation through delivery
  • Aligned to then-current Brand standards
  • Distributed one day earlier than needed
