FOXTEL LABS - OPEN SOURCE LEARNING 'POWERED BY YOU'.
I spent 18 months of my own time designing and implementing a new learning and development space called Foxtel Labs. Designed as an ‘Open Source Learning’ system, it allows teams and individuals at Foxtel HQ, Sydney to create their own training courses and up-skill their knowledge and experience.
Foxtel Labs fosters the growth of further learning and development by allowing team members at Foxtel to design their own training courses and provides a flexible working environment for anyone to foster and grow thoughts and processes into achievable results.
Foxtel Labs is not only a space for further learning and development, but a place where people can come together across the business to share and build ideas for the future. Designers, Engineers, Product, Brand, Marketing, Studio and Staging Crew. Writers, Producers, Directors, anyone who has the need to collaborate, team build, up-skill or create.
The Challenge
As an entertainment world leader, Foxtel employs some of our industry’s most creative and award-winning talent. Teams required creative spaces to produce, prototype and experiment in a fun and engaging way. The space needed to feel exciting, inspiring and most importantly engaging.
The Process
I Located and defined a series of suitable working spaces around Foxtel's Sydney Campus, then I worked with the building services team to clear these areas into useable areas. I created plans on paper on how each area would meet the needs for different teams and departments. A display and interactive area for product, a creative space for filming, a room and open plan area for life drawing, a colour grading room, areas for computers and my favourite space, an ideas room filled with lego where you could design and create your next big idea. I also forgot to mention the most important space, a kitchen galley for coffee and refreshments.
I then developed short 1 hour training modules with People & Culture, appointed volunteers and internal team members to run short courses. They included Camera Training, Life Drawing, Colour Grading, Motivational Mondays and Online Training.
The Result
Foxtel Labs successfully launched in May, 2015, with an influx of creatives from around the business collaborating on projects and innovative ideas. Foxtel Labs represents a something that could of been, to something that became a reality - Make it Happen!
The project was showcased as an innovation in design thinking and team callobration in Sydney at the 2015 PROMAX AWARDS.
