My Assignment - Reflection – Visualization 

 Name : Shirley Medina 

 Company : Applied Materials Inc. 

 Challenge & Selection : 

 As soon as I receive a client request , I start thinking how to approach it . I ask questions over the   telephonic discussion or mail to the client to help me visualize exactly what is required . 

 Then I sit down to understand the requirement and identify possible solutions to the requirement of the   stakeholder . The challenge is to understand and give them what they want , keeping aside what we   know . My stakeholders are mostly automobile dealers and sales promoters for their product . I help them   build a marketing creative . I interpret their words and thoughts into illustrations and images to help in   their services which will be later delivered to their customer . I also suggest them opportunities for   improvements or solutions . This project was about Customer journey through a supermarket . How he   can use a single Contactless credit card for charging his car when parked at the parking lot , at the   supermarket premise   and how he can use the same card to do his shopping all at the same time , easily   cutting downtime . Earlier which was 10 steps process and by using 2 separate cards can now be   transformed to a single card and 4 easy steps process with the new customer card . 

 Application : 

 I usually begin with a draft sketch with a simple pen on a paper . Firstly , to make it clear to myself . I   redraw if required , I change my ideas if required . Sketching can be used for capturing exploring   thoughts , ideas and then sharing the idea too . To avoid any communication gaps and understanding   gaps which possibly can rise due to inter - cultural upbringings , can be sorted by using sketching the   prototypes . Prototypes are an effective way to make our ideas flexible and ensuring the idea is   communicated effectively . 

 If there are some gaps , I reapproach the stakeholders via mail or scheduling a second call with them . I   share the rough draft and discuss my ideas with them . Then i create a revised graphic that incorporates   their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group or individual stakeholder [ point of   contact ] . Most of the times , more ideas prop up from the stake holders after they visually see the idea   on paper . 

 The final version of graphic is either created using Adobe illustrator or power point as per their   requirement . Adobe illustrator is used in case it goes for print . Power point or illustrator or photoshop is   used in case of media / laptop . 

 For a better fine tuning , peer review and discussion within my team members is done before the final   product is shared with the stakeholder . I incorporate any constructive ideas from my peers to produce   the best version to the stakeholder . 

 Insight & Approach : 

 How does the above help me is ,   by to - and - fro discussion with stake holders and with my peer team   members . The design gets perfect implementation for all their problem / solutions 

 The draft graphic gives the stakeholders a focal point for discussion that allows them to share their   perspectives and develop insights into potential requirement or problems . 

 While they could create the graphic from a blank slate in a collaborative manner , starting with a draft   sketch starts the conversation for them . They can quickly identify where they are in the graphic – or if   they are missing any points – and can more quickly forward , gain new insights about the product   between key entities instead of taking time to identify them . 

 The use of visualization activity as a starting point for a series of design thinking activities helps share   most valuable ideas , aspects , insights and learning . Then the revised graphic that incorporates their   combined feedback can serve as a reference tool to create the PERFECT solution to the stakeholder .
