  • 6 Categories Identified
  • 3 Top Takeaways Prioritized
  • 20 Workshop Attendees

Activities Performed in Workshop

  • What’s on your Radar? : Used to identify the top issues within multiple areas in the near term, mid-term, and long term.
  • Brainstorm Partnership Opportunities : Articulated forces driving their business for the immediate future and share their ideas.
  • Prioritize Partnership Opportunities : CWT was challenged to identify the top areas for focus to create Sabre partnership.

Activity 1: What’s on your Radar?

  • Identified 35 priorities in these four areas in about 30 minutes.
  • 09 priorities were immediate (within 3-6 months)
  • 26 priorities were medium (about 12 months) or long-term (18+ months)

Activity 2: Underlying Themes

Seven new themes emerged with Preference Shopping receiving the most votes. (List not shown)

Recommendations
  • Further define requirements using design thinking with CWT and Sabre.
  • Visualize business requirements with storyboards, UI sketches, prototypes, and PoCs.
  • Validate prototypes (and ideas) with real users through usability testing.
  • Determine and run experiments to refine prototypes and PoCs.

Activity 3: Top Priorities & High-Level Plan

Recommendations
  • Create a PoC plan with commitments from CWT and Sabre for the top priorities.
  • Perform deep dive of technical and business requirements for the PoCs.
  • Use design thinking to visualize requirements with storyboards and prototypes.
  • Validate PoCs with real users, run experiments, and update PoCs. Drive experiments on agent efficiency and adoption based on metrics by CWT

Immediate Next Steps

  1. Review This Report: Take some time to review this report and reflect on findings.
  2. Focus on the Partnership Opportunities: Spend time reviewing the partnership opportunities and how your team might support these efforts.
  3. Socialize with Others for Additional Input : Share this report with key stakeholders to see if other priorities emerge, especially around the PoCs and partnership opportunities.
  4. Create an Action Plan for the PoCs Identified : Many PoCs were uncovered. Schedule a meeting to take a deeper dive and business and technical requirements. Then, develop an Action Plan for the PoCs.
  5. Schedule a Sabre Design Strategy Workshop : The Sabre Design Strategy team can help you to create experiments, visualize ideas with storyboards or UI sketching, and more.
