Example Reflection – Domain Training     Challenge     I work with leading HCM [ Human Capital Management ] organization in the world . HCM market   includes providing services on HR , Payroll , Benefits , Time and Talent domains . I am part of the   team who is coming up with the training plan for the new hires . It is difficult to hire candidates   with HCM domain experience and that possess a challenge to my team to constantly design the   domain training plan for maximum effectiveness and efficiency . Even if anyone comes in the team   with prior experience on one of the domain , the challenge is that the way each of these domains   are implemented within our product is different from what they have experienced earlier . We do   have trainers within the team who takes domain and product sessions . We wanted to revise and   present the improved training plan with an objective to have maximum impact within less   number of days . One of our objective was to reduce the number of hours by 10 % from the   existing training plan .     Selection     Our team has been constantly observing the execution , feedback and then application of the   trainings within the product . We selected a ‘ FF ’ ( Fast Forward ) method by bringing design   thinking approach to focus on the ‘ impact ’ of the training . Our aim was to demonstrate that there   better ‘ results ’ after the training .      Application     Our team used mind mapping tool to come up with the enhancement , mainly to document the   key essences of the domain so that each candidate can take print and keep the mind map of the   domain on their desk . As we used the ‘ FF ’ method , we used time boxed approach where each   member was given a paper with 8 folds and then were asked to write 8 ideas within 8 mins ( idea   to ‘ what ’ to do based on ‘ What Is ’ situation ) . Once these 8 ideas were gathered from each   member , we grouped them as clusters around the theme of the ideas and then each member got   3 stars to vote for the idea which they would like to be shortlisted further . Once we completed   the voting process , we had the top 10 - 12 ideas on the table and then used ‘ how ’ using the ‘ What   If ’ approach to elaborate on each one of them and then record the inputs on a mind map . This   was time boxed as 5 mins for each idea and then after an overnight break , team were given 2   mins for each idea to revise / review . Once the team had ideas with inputs as how will they work ,   we went for a quick prototyping approach to invite guests from the team / department to validate   these ideas .   After the interviews / validation process , team huddled together to come up with   final recommendations . One of them was to use mid map to record the key words of each domain   based on their application for a quick ‘ recall ’ factor .      Insight 

 This exercise helped us understand and implement the design thinking approach to solve a   practical problem . As we gather ideas and then had a process to come up with top ideas within   a time - boxed approach . Then next learning was to validate these within the   team / dept / organization to see if they are practical and will have the perceived outcomes . Last 2   weeks have been fun to implement design thinking at work . We need to measure as how much   time it will save as we have to use it in 2019 and measure the results . If we need to revise this ,   we will use design thinking approach to refine it further .     Here is a snippet from the final mind map [ blurred on purpose ] 

 Approach      By doing it in ‘ FF ’ way , we used a somewhat quick approach to get the outcome within short   span of time using design thinking . I believe that this can be further refined based on the criticality   of the   task . If a task is trivial , we can even use more quicker time frame , but if we have a big task   then we need to give more time to use and validate the design thinking by using all 15 steps to   designing for growth .
