About
Flex is a turn-key solution for clients wanting a "WeWork" experience for their employees without spending the time and money on a completely unique remodel. The Flex tool is a broker led product to help clients choose a Flex space that would suit their company's working style.
Flex offers:
- different design options based on your company's aesthetic
- distinct layouts and co-working/office spaces that fit your company's working characteristics
- custom branding elements to help employees feel at home
- as many amenities and services as you want to provide to your workers
The Process:
This was a quick turn around project to get in front of clients and determine if there was enough traction to move ahead and invest in this concept.
Competitive Analysis
First I conducted a competitive analysis of existing similar sites. Here I explored 2 different sites and examined how these sites function, what they have in common, what elements and interactions were more successful than others, and what we could "borrow" to make Flex a useful tool.
Service Blueprint
Initially, Flex was intended to integrate with other existing products, so a service blueprint was needed to see how that integration would work and the impact of integration. Ultimately with the tight timeline, it was decided not to integrate Flex and keep it as a stand alone product.
Sketch, Whiteboard, Wireframe and repeat!
Since Flex had such a quick turnaround, I had to work fast. The deadline did not allow as much time for iteration as I would have liked, but I worked with what I had and made it work.
The Results:
Overall, I was pleased with the outcome of this project. Yes, with more time I could have iterated more and done necessary testing but sometimes we just need to use what we have and do the best we can!
