Process
First phase
There were three clear phases of the project that I worked on. The first phase was about understanding Danfoss as a business and the challenges they face. The team for this phase was strategy heavy. I led the visual design for this phase. It was my role to make sure our strategic insight was translated through to our design process. Producing outputs to help communicate our thinking with Danfoss stakeholders.
We ran 30 user interviews with Danfoss stakeholders, best practice research, and analysis of the 350+ websites. The outputs for this phase were four key personas, a current journey map, three ideal journey maps, a revised information architecture, and a design proof of concept.
Outcome
We delivered a scalable new platform with a simple underlying structure. The platform made it easier for Danfoss employees to sell their segment's products. And easier for customers to browse Danfoss’ products from any country.
