Reflection- Visualisation 

 Challenge and Selection 

 As a consultant , during my internship , I understood how to execute visualisation effectively . My   clientele involved top company executives , approaching my organisation with various challenges   sometimes known and sometimes unknown . Since , I had done a lot of research work as a part of my   initial training , I occasionally knew the challenge they might be facing . To deeply understand the issue   they were facing , I would pose them questions to understand the firms ’ pain points and collect the   data specific for the firm . I would also identify the stakeholders who are getting impacted and would   represent them using straw graphics . To represent the data collected using secondary research , I   would use charts and graphs for easier readability . 

 Application 

 Upon collecting data from existing materials and interview , I would start representing the data on a   white board and define a layout of the powerpoint slide , with the shapes , symbols and straw graphics .   The existing materials would be available in proprietary database that may be old case studies ,   operational or procedural documents , training materials , marketing materials etc . 

 Once , I had a layout of slide defining the problem , I would create and complete that slide . 

 Further , I would do research for solving the problem and to represent the case and solutions , I would   use visual tools like flow diagrams , matrix and web charts drawn on a whiteboard . I would stick post- it notes with colour coding ( for intensity of problem or solutions ) wherever it deemed fit . This sort of   visualisation assisted me to focus on the key areas and if needed , I could show this progress to my   manager and help him be up to speed in a short time . He would know my progress and guide whenever   and wherever he felt I was stuck . 

 The final solutions arrived using this visual representation on whiteboard were replicated on the   powerpoint slides and were part of the deck to the client . 

 Insight & Approach 

 What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that while the graphic –   especially the revised graphic that incorporates their feedback – is important for reinforcing their   understanding of the problem they are working to solve , the more valuable aspect of the activity is   the shared insights and shared learning that occurs while they are working to define their problem   space . The graphic gives the diverse group of stakeholders a focal point for discussion that allows them   to share their perspectives and develop insights into potential root causes of their problems . The   representation of solutions using flow charts helped the thought structure to flow as I had while   creating them . The charts and graphs enhanced the readability of the mere excel tables and follow   the presentation . 

 Since I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning , next time I would   use the visualization activity as a starting point for a series of design thinking activities . Then the   revised graphic that incorporates their combined feedback can serve as a reference tool throughout   the remainder of their work
