Romp On

As a relatively new creative agency , romp wanted to do things differently. One of it was by rethinking the way romp evaluate its employees’ performance. 

The goal was to develop a digital platform that can facilitate leaders and employees with insights on how to improve their performance in a fair and meaningful way. Instead of conducting performance appraisal only once a year, romp wanted to give its employees a chance to be able to gain feedback regularly.

To undertake this task, the management of romp. decided to appoint a four employee task force to lead the whole process of rethinking and building this new system using the principles of design thinking — and I was one of them.

The project began in mid March 2020, right at the start of the pandemic. This shifted the entire process from offline to online. Despite the challenges, we were able to still be able to engage majority of the romp employees to co-design the performance system through an online workshop, utilizing tools such as Miro.

At a personal level, this allowed me to engage in a collaborative process of developing a product together with its end users in mind as well as honing my capabilities in working with emerging digital tools.
