Overview

Problem Statement
Owing to organic growth and various acquisitions over decades, the existing processes have become outdated and do not support current and new business models. The organisation’s internal processes were becoming barriers to its reach into the future.
Solution
Envisioned the future of Wipro processes through extensive research that helped us understand & empathise with current ways of working & its challenges. The research insights led us to derive guiding principles that have become cornerstones of the Wipro processes and digital systems of the future.

Research

Eco System
To get a better understanding of Wipro ecosystem we analysed each of it’s elements and identified challenges, which then led to the defining of actionable insights that will guide the vision and the future solution.
Processes
Process clustered studied:

1. Lead to Order

2. Order to Cash

3. Hire to Retire

4. Talent Supply Chain
Opportunities
Based on the consolidation of the research we identified various opportunity areas that will inform the future solution & address challenges across the ecosystem.

Guiding Principles

Flexibility
As opposed to the rigidity of standardised processes, flexibility means to adapt and respond quickly to our clients’ specific needs as well as our own internal changing needs in fluid.
Visibility
We want to provide clear contextual and procedural information and insight that people need in order to understand how their work affects others across the process.
Autonomy
We would like to empower all Wipro teams to be autonomous in the processes by allowing the freedom to make delivery choices within a framework.
Reliability
We want to cultivate a sense of trust and certainty, providing objective and accurate information that people can depend on to make confident decisions.
Collaboration
Individual tasks and group work are aligned, guided by a common objective, and supported by accessible and empowering instruments.
Ownership
We want to define in a clear and accessible way who is the owner for processes and tasks both for the owner, the people he/she cooperates with and the client.

Current Journey Maps

Current journey maps illustrate user activities and touchpoints with pain-points identified at each step and its impact on people, business and experience.

Define

Future Vision & Service Blueprint

The future vision and guiding principles set the direction for all future processes and help in assessing the alignment between the organisation’s strategy and implementation.



We created service journeys, identified & prioritised roles & their service interactions across process clusters. The journeys were validated with stakeholders through multiple co-ideation workshops. The validated service blueprints were used as input for business process finalisation & UX design.

Information Architecture & Wireframes

We developed the information architecture to organise content effectively and created wireframes to visually map out the user flow and structure. These elements served as a blueprint, ensuring clear navigation and a seamless user experience.

Experience Drivers

We identified key experience drivers to keep in focus as we transition to screen design, serving as our guiding principles.
Cohesive
Creating consistency across platforms to increase familiarity & intuitiveness.
Flexible
The system should be customisable, adaptive and scalable to accommodate changes and the needs of different roles
Accessible
Designing for human diversity allowing all types of users to have a unified experience.
Responsive
Acknowledging actions with adequate feedback, assuring the user that their actions are accomplished.
Guided
Keep users informed throughout all stages of every process, helping them make better decisions.
Focused
Define the user flows in a sequential manner so that users can focus on a particular task at a given time.

Design Library

We put in efforts to create a living design library to make the system future proof. This also helped us to make our designs consistent throughout the ecosystem.
