Steep learning curve
On 27 April 2017 Oslo opened its new airport – one of the largest land-based construction projects in Norway. The project involved a doubling of surface area and capacity, a new railway station and luggage system, new check-in areas, an expanded service provision for travellers, and much more. It further entailed a massive training need in all parts of the organisation, and in this context a training programme was developed to prepare all 22,000 employees for the opening.

Panel remarks
Learning Journey succeeds in solving an extremely complex task: to create a unified training programme encompassing all 22,000 employees – from pilots to kiosk staff. This is a project that could have gone badly wrong had a silo mentality been adopted and a user perspective not properly incorporated into the process. But in this case they succeeded in applying lateral thinking and concentrated on making the best possible experience for the user, which is really the crucial success factor, no matter how nice the interface may be. The innovative way that service design was used across disciplines in this project is exemplary and an example of excellent craftsmanship. We are impressed with how easy and clear they have managed to make Learning Journey’s interface and progression, and we would also like to commend the project for how the visual element lifts the whole experience.
