Mapping First Steps
Programme Diary
Posted 6th Feb.
Based on ideas from our team we began to plan the 1st steps in our project.
We had a very productive meeting mapping the importance of new features against how easy it would be to implement them. It’s common for new Reach4Work volunteers to have a certain level of social anxiety. It was excellent to see people speaking with more confidence within the group.
One of the concepts we are keen to promote is Co-creation. Because our new website will be built by jobseekers, we can ensure it is appropriately designed for the same audience. In a second exercise we mapped out some of our thoughts, feelings and actions about finding work. This technique is called an empathy map. Empathy maps are a common Design Thinking tool, being increasingly used by some of the largest companies in the world.
