Prepare your brief
Bring representative locker interiors, intended contents and permitted alteration rules. Use fictional routing labels when reviewing distribution or department changes.
Choose a starting question
- Will a desk caddy work when moving between the locker and desk?
- Review the filled caddy entering storage, leaving it and reaching the desk. Choose compartments and handles around that complete movement.
- Should mail slots change size or only change labels?
- Compare ordinary and oversized mail, then rehearse a department reassignment. Keep the physical slot and collection instructions aligned.
