Working with Dräger's UX department and product management team, students explored how customer feedback is collected, shared, and used to inform decisions. They investigated the challenges of learning and collaborating across departments, where different responsibilities, communication practices, and ways of working can make it difficult to share knowledge.
Working in groups, the students:
- Mapped internal communication and learning challenges through interviews and workshops with Dräger employees.
- Analysed organisational culture, learning practices and innovation strategies across departments.
- Co-created strategies to strengthen shared learning, knowledge-sharing and cross-functional collaboration.
- Prototyped and presented actionable proposals to help Dräger move towards becoming a learning organisation – one that reflects on its own processes, experiments, and learns collectively across boundaries.
The project gave students their first experience of a complete design process – from research and developing ideas to feedback and a final proposal.
