Solution #1

Prototype #1

•To test prototype #1, I described the following scenario to my interviewee:

A loud bell is heard and the office computers and phones don’t work anymore. Light gets dim (dim enough so that people can see their way, but cannot work). A recording with the boss’ voice is heard: “Everyone stop right this minute and go to the cafeteria.” All employees stop what they are doing at the moment, leave the desk and go towards the cafeteria. Music is heard as they approach the spot. Employees are standing in a big circle holding hands and participating in a team building game. Everyone has to join the game.

Solution #2

Prototype #2

•To test prototype #2, I described the following scenario to my interviewee:Every Wednesday afternoon, employees bring comfortable clothes and shoes. They change  and as part of their contract, they take a shuttle to an economically-struggling-community in the city to offer the company’s services for free. In the community, employees are not competing. They are not receiving money for this nor any recognition, so they are rather working together to help people. If the employees have had issues during the week against each other, here they just have to put those problems aside, and actually work together and get things done for the benefit of these needed people. They step out of the bus, leaving competition back there, and focus on the people that need them.
