\u200bTHE MLC APPROACH<\/h3><\/div><\/div>


The MLC Team focused on improving the document\u2019s functionality and user experience.<\/strong> By redesigning the layout and integrating an intuitive navigation system, they aimed to make the refreshed guidelines more accessible and engaging for Haier\u2019s internal teams.

THE INSIGHT<\/h3><\/div><\/div>


The core insight driving this project was the understanding that the guidelines needed to be easily navigable<\/strong> for internal teams working in various markets and departments.

By incorporating an interactive navigation menu, the MLC Team simplified access to key sections<\/strong> of the guidelines, overcoming the barrier of a long PDF, and allowing users to move through the document quickly and efficiently.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

THE PROCESS<\/h3><\/div><\/div>


The refresh process involved a comprehensive review of the existing guidelines<\/strong>, focusing on identifying areas that needed improvement in both design and structure.

The most significant improvement was the introduction of a navigation menu<\/strong> that allowed users to quickly access specific sections such as logos, color schemes, and tone of voice, without scrolling through the entire document.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
