Overview:
We were tasked with conducting a 35 minute UX workshop where everyone on the team played the role of facilitator. We selected the How-Now-Wow matrix as we felt it was intriguing and compelled us to think outside the box to create an engaging activity for the participants.
Research:
We conducted research about the matrix and found an exciting activity to explain it further. Also, we asked ourselves what challenges do we encounter on a daily basis and how can the How-Now-Wow matrix be applied to solve those challenges.
Implementation:
We created activity using the following problem statements to engage the audience and allowed them the opportunity to provide creative solutions to these problems.
Topic 1: TTC fare
How might we ensure everyone who gets on the TTC bus, streetcar and train tap to pay?
Topic 2: Grocery shopping
How might we do grocery shopping in a budget-friendly and efficient manner?
Topic 3: Food delivery fee
How might we enjoy food delivery while paying less for delivery?
At the end most participants were intent on providing solutions to Topic 1 as it affected everyone and they easily identified with the problem.
Feedback:
The participants thoroughly enjoyed the activity and felt that the workshop was well orchestrated. The instructions were clear, and we successfully kept the participants engaged throughout the workshop.
