The Challenge
The meeting room booking process at Nestlé faced significant challenges, including inconsistent naming conventions, empty data fields, and missing essential details such as room capacity, accessibility features, and available amenities. These issues created inefficiencies and frustration among employees, often leading to prolonged booking times and limited usability of the system.
Business Objective

The project aimed to create a more intuitive, inclusive, and streamlined system to improve searchability and standardize filters, naming conventions, and accessibility features. By ensuring that relevant room details, such as capacity, technology, and accessibility, were easily accessible across all platforms and devices, the initiative sought to reduce booking errors, enhance user satisfaction, and minimize clutter within the system. Another key goal was to introduce email booking confirmations to provide users with critical information such as accessibility options and room specifications.

Our Approach
Using systems thinking and futures thinking tools, the team envisioned the ideal future of meeting room experiences while addressing immediate challenges. A collaborative workshop with stakeholders helped validate the current journey, pain points, and co-create solutions. Insights from surveys and feedback informed a consistent, human-friendly naming system, optimized tags for accessibility and technology, and an email confirmation template to improve user satisfaction.
Project Impact

The redesigned system, piloted in Mexico, North America, and Switzerland, enhanced booking efficiency and data accuracy while providing a unified experience across MS Teams and Outlook. Standardized naming conventions and improved accessibility features reduced errors and booking times. The pilot also revealed scalability challenges, integration opportunities, and the need for localized approaches to meet diverse regional needs.
