WHAT IS THIS APPLICATION ABOUT
The Global Workforce Optimization Application is an exploratory application with rich filtering and reporting capabilities built to help answer our users questions about our workforce across the globe.
​
GWO will help answer these questions:
-
Where are our global resources?
-
What kind of roles and skills are in a particular location?
-
How much does it cost to operate in a location?
-
What is the risk of moving into a new country?
​

The goal of the GWO application is to provide a commercial grade experience for users to explore location, workforce, and financial details for AT&T’s global workforce.
WHO ARE THE USERS OF THE APPLICATION
Primary Audience: AT&T Executives
Secondary Audience: Level 3+ Managers
Low Fidelity Mockups
One of the first design decisions I made was to utilize page tabs to divide up the content under our 3 main navigation areas.
Color Theory
SELECTING COLORS FOR THE MAP
​
For the GWO application I needed to create a color scheme that would be visually pleasing on a map and clearly show a diverging gradient from 'good to bad' that was also color blind friendly.
I utilized COLORBREWER2.0 to help me pick a diverging color scheme with 5 data classes that would be colorblind safe. Here are the colors that we ended up using that matched this requirement.
Competitive Product Research
The following images served as inspiration for the overall design of GWO.
