The stakeholders map helped us to ensure that we keep everyone affected in mind

# data[].attributes.body
This helped us gain empathy towards our stakeholders because we can understand what they think, feel, and say to effectively put ourselves in their shoes, which will help us understand how we can help Haworth achieve their goal.

1. why they feel so reluctant to reach out to schools

2. What helped other younger manufacturing employees choose Hayworth

# data[].attributes.body
we had many new ideas in the decision phase:

• Referral programs

•social media account for teenagers

•going to football games

•touring high schoolers specifically

•WBL day

•open house

We found that many of these were not feasible to Haworth to achieve, but through combining WBL day and the Open House ideas, we figured out a possible solution.

# data[].attributes.body
Our final decision was hard to make, but we ultimately decided to contact WBL coordinators directly and asking them if they’d like a tour of the property, after which they could tell them about the open house opportunity for high schoolers which they could advertise/tell students about through flyers, emails, morning announcements, junior and senior google classrooms, & WBL coordinators telling students about the open house directly. Then the students could RSVP a month in advance and help Haworth decide the money they need to spend, interns/workers they need, and the length of the event. Then students could go to the open house and learn all about Haworth.

# data[].attributes.body
We developed our final list of ideas by asking about questions, roadblox, and refinement for each of them. With Eric's help, we were able to gain critical insight into the NUF values of each, fleshing them out and assigning point values to positive qualities. In the end, we merged some of our ideas, inching toward our final solution.

Eric helped us to see if our ideas were new, useful, and feasible to make sure our solution was the best it could be. As well as doing critical friends which helped us figure out timing and advertising.

# data[].attributes.body
We did a critical friends interview where we presented our idea and they gave insight on how they viewed our solution.

# data[].attributes.body
We hit some road blocks and narrowed down a solution that met the NUF test

# data[].attributes.body
We interviewed representatives from both the corporate and manufacturing sides of Haworth. On top of this, we interviewed counselors from different schools within Holland as well as Careerline Tech Center.

Through the insight gained from their responses, we were able to access the next phase of our research.
