gLife Concept
Background
There were two very similar concepts being discussed amongst internal teams, both of them shared a thread about traveling, this one was designed to make meetings and appointments, as well as the travel expenses easier to manage.
Process
We took a few of the internal systems like Google Calendar, booking travel, the travel cost tools, distributed teams (either direct partners or cross-product groups) locations and working habits, with some fantasy connections, to create the scenario in the video.
A designer and I worked together to script, visually, the concept, and then I animated it. Our UX manager helped us pressure test the ideas and concepts and helped us define and BS ideas.
Outcome
We built the video and showed it around. It was well received, and skeptically questioned, as all things should be that involve connecting internal corporate data. We were doing some of these things naturally, as in calendar or systems showing people that you were near, and suggesting people based on email groups and projects.
In the end it was nice to get the thoughts out there.
