Case Study

CLIENT SUCCESS STORY

Process Improvement & Re-engineering using Digital Transfer & Design

Large Southern California based church with over 20,000 members over 18 campuses worldwide, conducting over 100 international mission trips & projects per year.

Challenges

Challenges

Scalability
Mission trips & projects process & tools are controlled by a small, centralized team at home campus… difficult to impossible to scale both nationally and internationally.

Maintainability
Both legacy process & tools have evolved over years… redundant, duplicate and irrelevant steps have become institutionalized. In order to maintain, a deep understanding of history is required, vs. simply following what is logical and common sense.

Usability and Delightfulness
The user experience of both process & tools have degraded as not well thought through additions and enhancements have created a labyrinthine, difficult navigate, structure.

Solution

Solution

Process Re-engineering Services
The D9P team engaged in a detailed, comprehensive business process re-engineering exercise.
The team conducted a current state analysis, identified major pain points, and determined a future state process, removing inefficiencies.

Design Services
The D9P team conducted a user flow analysis, reorganizing in order to be easy and logical. The design was crafted to be mobile centric, geared towards specific personas, with a discrete start-end progression to staged completion. The goal was for a child to engage, and logically understand, without any guidance, how to navigate clearly towards appropriate end state (zero training required).

Custom Application Development Services
The D9P team implemented a 3rd party mission trip platform, focused on pre-trip planning, and build upon, both pre engagement activities, on trip and post trip mgmt. as well as an administration and reporting components
