MY ROLE

I was the lead solo designer for this project from the initial research to prototyping. Throughout this process, I received support from a customer knowledge specialist from Citi, the department director of the BPO. This collaboration allowed us to establish trust and hire additional designers, ensuring the entire strategy was implemented smoothly and efficiently.

The creative teams and digital brand owners in the innovative healthcare industry have a siloed workflow that does not allow growth sessions. This reflects limited trust and overspending in rounds of iteration due to a lack of collaboration

The


Sprint



BPO representatives have noted a recent upsurge in the number of Citi's end users' accounts in collections. Consequently, there has been an increase in recovery cases encompassing a variety of emotional issues, including a 70% rise in suicide threats from clients. These developments are occurring alongside a 17% increase in the country's inflation rate.

DISCOVERY

Empathy maps are the central methodology for discovery sessions, and they help BPO representatives

Empathy maps are the central methodology for discovery sessions, and they help BPO representatives

Communicate their fears, needs, motivations, and behavior anonymously or responsibly without friction.

The BPO representatives perceive that reporting various emotions and external factors related to that situation, from end customers to directors can be seen as a sign of weakness or unprofessionalism and may result in them losing their jobs, as has happened to other representatives.

Just 35% of the BPO representatives have a record of success closing agreements.

60% of the end customers “I Dont see a significant benefit to staying active on the financial system”

Defining Target Groups

Once the prototypes were developed based on experience and Data to empathize with the different types of users, they served as a starting point for reflecting on the users' needs and challenges and possible solutions to consider later in building the
information architecture.

1,600 employees were interviewed nationwide, with almost equal distribution between men and women and across
different age groups.
