IDEAS Award
GEN, an organization that promotes gender equality in the workplace, works with organizations to help them become ‘GEN-certified’. These organizations face issues with the project management and organization structure of their certification process. Organizations have difficulty managing projects, which makes the certification process longer. This contributes to an increased strain on organization resources, less buy-in from employees, and a drawn-out certification process. In order to address these problems, Team Trailblazers conducted user research and used findings to shape a dashboard solution that enhances the project management of GEN’s certification process for clients and organizations.
