Reflection – Mind Mapping 

 Challenge 

 I am an Organizational Psychologist working in a Non - Governmental Organization in 

 which its mission is to prepare and include people with disabilities in the labor 

 environment , conducting training and developing skills . Our challenge is to increase 

 the engagement of people with disabilities in activities and , consequently , increase 

 the number of inclusions in the labor environment . The project is limited to internal 

 resources ( ie budget ) . We will focus on trying to find out how people with disabilities 

 consider essential to be better prepare for the work and what they consider important 

 to increase interest in training activities . 

 Selection 

 One tool chosen was Mind Mapping , which consists of seeking the perceptions of 

 customers in a large amount of data collected in the exploration phase of the current 

 reality and generating hypothetical ideas through creative , visual and attractive 

 activities . Most people with disabilities are illiterate , which is why Mind Mapping will 

 be effective , as it uses visual and diverse strategies . 

 Application 

 Applying Mind Mapping , we focus on the perception of people with disabilities about 

 how training could be more attractive . In particular , we wanted to know your interests 

 and , from this process , structure the training with appropriate and attractive 

 methodologies . 

 The student group was composed of 30 students , of whom 10 students were 

 selected who participated in the Mind Mapping process . In the first task , they were 

 asked to create a collage of images that presented their perceptions about the ideal 

 training model for the job market . This projective technique was essential to identify 

 opportunities for improvements in the training project . In the second task I developed 

 a panel together with all the images presented by the students cataloged by themes 

 and a brainstorm was made , where the participants made improvements in their 

 proposals for improvements . 

 Insight 

 When applying the Mind Mapping tool , it was possible to identify the main 

 improvements that should be made in training and development projects for people 

 with disabilities in the labor . Through the Projective technique , we identified the need 

 to implement diversified activities , as for example , most of the participants presented 

 on their posters that they would like to learn about the work environment by carrying 

 out practical and not theoretical activities , or another very mentioned example was 

 the interest for films that could show the coexistence in the work environment and 

 the ideal posture that they should present in this place . From now on , the 

 Organizational Psychologist will carry out the activities of the training project and 

 then carry out the experimentation step . 

 Approach 

 That was the first design thinking activity carried out by the Organizational 

 Psychologist and as mentioned earlier , Mind Mapping is the appropriate tool , as it 

 made it possible to identify and innovate the projects developed at the NGO . 

 In addition , I emphasize that in future training projects , the design thinking process 

 must be carried out initially , with each exchange of students that occurs every 1 

 year , since each class is private and has diverse interests .
