In 2016 Konica Minolta Bulgaria was facing numerous challenges – from differentiating itself from its printer services competitors on the market, to changing its image from a hardware to a software company. The specific challenge with which the CEO came to us was – how to convert its clients, who for years now were buying printers and Optimized Printer Services (OPS), to Konica Minolta’s newest Content Management Solutions (CMS).

our approach
We have designed a 4-week design sprint.
duration
July 2016
key results
4 ideas validated in 4 weeks
success factors
100% support from CEO and participation in all workshops and project sessions, participation from all departments
To address the challenge at hand we designed and facilitated a 4-weeks long design sprint. It included 4 short workshops with the client’s team as well as field work. We started with in-depth customer research where the team carried out contextual interviews and observations. We did customer journey mapping and customer persona profiling. We went through a round of storyboarding and rapid prototyping in order to visualize and test new ideas with customers. At the end 4 ideas were selected and presented to management. 3 out of 4 were later on implemented.
“All the innovation that we did in the last year happened during the 4 weeks we worked with the launchlabs team. They created a momentum that we needed, but couldn’t do ourselves.” - Elena Drecheva, CEO, Konica Minolta Bulgaria
