Challenge Description:
This challenge is focused on concepting our initial Responsive experience (Phone and Desktop). We want employees to be inspired and enjoy the (simple) experience of searching, selecting and giving.
This is the first of 3 challenges to plan and design the Pledge Tool. This challenge is only focused on the GE employee who is pledging part of their income to a charity (or multiple charities) of their choice. Future challenges will be focused on the Admin and Reporting features of the application.
The application should be designed with a mobile first approach to the experience. What features are important on mobile vs desktop?
Things to think about:
- Modern experience for searching and selecting available charities (think of marketplaces)
The high-level pledge steps are:
- Choose pay-type and amount
- Choose charity/charities (default suggestion is the local United Way that is aligned with the employee’s work zip code)
- Internal/External Release & Recognition questions (and auto-renew, if you give by payroll))
- Review
- Confirm/Submit
Potential Screens:
