Reflection – Visualization 

 Challenge     In one of my meetings with field - based employees , they have shared with me a   recurring problem related to delays in approvals of Marketing activities being   submitted .   This has also resulted to delays in the availability of funds which in   return impacted generation of sales .     Selection     The tool I have selected is Visualization .   Angela Myer ’s video on visualization on   Week1 has given me insights on how the tools could be effective in getting   consensus   and   agreement   with   different   stakeholders .     A   collective 

 understanding of the problem and alignment is important in order to come out   with an innovative solution to the problem .     Application     With all the stakeholders ( Marketing / Finance/ Procurement/ IT/ Sales ) in one   room , we started by reviewing the current process .   Each team was given a post   it paper and then takes turn posting their specific role & responsibilities in the   approval process .   The post it paper is then posted in the wall . The facilitator will    ensure dependencies to each of the team are identified and properly marked .    Once completed , another review is done with each team adding the time   ( days / hours ) it took   for each process to be completed . The result of the exercise   is a visual overview of the current process .   All stakeholders have a common   understanding of the process .   To complement the activity , I used the Bizagi   modeler to convert the visuals and send copies to all stakeholders .       Insight and Approach     One of the key learning of the exercise is that it gave all the stakeholders a non   verbal way to communicate and gain common understanding of the approval   process .   The activity has also serve as a catalyst for the stakeholders to have   meaningful discussion on the challenges and problems which   they started to see   during the activity .       The visualization activity has re - enforce my belief that visualization is an   important tool that can be used during design thinking activities . In the future , I   will include storytelling as pre activity to complement visualization .   Storytelling   will serve as the foundation to tell the story on why we are reviewing the approval   process .   By combining these tools , the activity will have a much broader context   in understanding the problem .
