The Result
The Result
The project resulted in Value propositions, mobility personas and a handover of user study results n the shape of a needs and requirements list and a summary of user study data. Further details might be published in a report from Whim in 2021.

Reflections & Improvements
Reflections & Improvements
I find it important to reflect upon executed projects to evaluate my work and finds way of improving my work. One reflection I had on this project is that we narrowed down our target group too late which led to a very wide scope. Also, we found using mediating objects as being very helpful in this project but used them in a very late state of our progress which is something I bring to my next project. As well, we started our designing of Value propositions quite late after gathering and analysing the data. This lead to the iterative and evaluation phase of the design being short. Overall, I am very proud and happy with the work done in this project but of course, there are improvements to be made.

Process
​
The process of data collection, (figure further down on the site) was initiated with theoretical research with the purpose to generate insights from existing research. The theoretical research was followed by market research to create an understanding of active actors but also map potential aspects where current service providers are insufficient. The theoretical research and market research was also complemented with discussions with industry experts that have unique insight into MaaS. The process of understanding the users was initiated alongside theoretical research, market research and discussions with industry experts (figure further down on the site).

The process of understanding the users was initiated alongside theoretical research, market research and discussions with industry experts.
Understanding the users was initiated through planning of the users studies which fueled the following steps. The following steps were: recruitment of users and screening of users.
The data generated by the user studies has been analysed through coding, then derived into user needs and requirements which then fueled the initial formulation of the value propositions.

The Brief
The brief included to understand and map mobility needs, requirements and behaviours from potential Swedish users. Furthermore the brief included to plan and execute a user study as well as to recruit participants. The deliverables included to propose value propositions to a new market.
The Result
The project resulted in value propositions, mobility personas and a handover of user study results in the shape of a needs and requirements list as well as a summary of user study data. Further details might be published in a report from Whim.

Recruitment of user study participants
​
The study was performed entirely remotely, due to restrictions of the covid-19 pandemic. No specific user segment had been selected by MaaS Global, therefore the plan was to target users from several segments, based on for example geographical location, age and mobility behaviour.
The study is based on people who submitted interest and the selection was made to guarantee representation of different segments, the sampling method used was non-probability and a combination between convenience and quota sampling.
The number of people signing up their interest for participating in the study was about 150 and the number of included participants was 43.
