In today's fast-paced digital age, user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) play a pivotal role in determining the success of any software application.

Objective Keyplan, the collaborative authoring and stakeholder engagement tool, has embraced this philosophy and undergone a transformative makeover. We're bringing a brand new look and feel that aims to redefine simplicity and efficiency. In this blog post, we'll take a closer look at the key UX/UI improvements that we've introduced.

The Vision Behind the Redesign

To better understand the driving force behind Objective Keyplan, we turned to Andrew Karrasch, the Design Lead who collaborated with Objective Keystone customers across the globe. 

My vision for Objective Keyplan was centred around simplicity through design. And to offer users a modern and minimalist interface that enhances their consultation experience.

A consistent theme in colour usage, font sizes, and iconography were implemented to create a cohesive, customer-centric digital portal.

A Revamped Dashboard for Enhanced Insights

The redesigned dashboard is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the new Objective Keyplan. Users have access to a range of useful charts and information, providing an instant snapshot to track consultations and upcoming events. 

Seamless Event Planning with Added Features

Event planning is now a breeze with the introduction of various event configurations. The new event Lifecycle timeline offers complete visibility for each milestone. This enhancement was a non-negotiable when it comes to managing events.


Optimised Representation Management

The Representation Management platform features customer-specific details, including Consultee Name, Responded Consultation Points, Date, and Status. AI can Auto-Tag suggesting Keywords or Subjects that identifies specific themes. Custom Tags can be defined and personalised for each consultation. This game-changing features automatically processes and analyses representations at scale.


User-Friendly Response Processing

Processing responses is now more user-friendly than ever, thanks to the addition of a range of emojis to assign sentiments to each response. This simplifies the feedback analysis process and helps users understand the emotional context behind each response. And the built-in redaction hides sensitive or harmful information from representations.


Enhanced Reporting Interface

The new reporting user interface has been designed with a focus on ease of consumption. Users are presented with a visually appealing table that incorporates a variety of colours, icons, and headings that highlight the most critical information. By listening to customer feedback and prioritising essential data, the reporting interface allows users to make informed decisions more efficiently.


Putting the User First

Throughout the redesign process, Andrew and his design team remained committed to putting the user first. By actively listening to customers pain points and needs, the team were able to create an interface that truly delivers. Our customer-centric approach ensures that our software aligns with users' expectations.

The new and improved Objective Keyplan sets a new standard for collaborative authoring and stakeholder engagement tools. With a fresh and intuitive interface, simplified navigation, and enhanced reporting capabilities, it offers a highly interactive user experience. Paving the way for more effective and streamlined consultation experiences.
