ABCDs: Designing Employment Journey Mapping

Where ABCD is a placegolder metaphor for the ideation process, reflecting on ABCD we have four aspects (spelling GEAR, to aid recall):

Goal setting,

Empiricism of research (or Evidence-based),

Action planning,

Root cause analysis.

GEAR - Areas of Transformation.

The transformation for ideation (having identified the opportunity) is intentionally grouping a design into focus areas around action points to address these GEAR based on research and learning. These four transformations occur through ABCD workflows. Therefore, these are sufficient and necessary goals for Employment Journey mapping exercises.

Stretch goal: This outlook can be extended to make inferences on Employee journey mapping, and reminiscent of the US Fedral Goals-Engagement-Accountability Results (GEAR) framework.
