Think to Design - Visualization 

 Challenge and Selection : 

 During the ‘ Design Thinking for Innovation ’ course I got a chance to apply the concept into practice in a   live project . I was delighted to accept the challenge with both hands . 

 Problem Statement : Revamp of our existing in - house Travel Portal for employees and make it more   interactive , easy to navigate and more stakeholder friendly . 

 Tool Selection : We as a team had meeting with all the stakeholders – Travel team , frequent travelers ,   Admin team , Finance team , Facilities team to understand the pain points of the existing tool and what   feature will enlighten them . After all the interviews we jointly answered the four questions to start our   design thinking workshop . As we are up to designing a web portal with a lot of visual elements , we decided   to go with visualization . 

 Here is a snapshot of the four questions : 

 Application : 

 After we had decided on the new features / modifications by answering the ‘ What Works ’ , we started on   the actual UX / interface design of the web portal . We as a team gathered in a room and started to put all   the features in the placeholders . We used chart paper to make a wire frame / screen blueprint / visual guide . 

 We had a few drawings of the web portal , just a look and feel on the chart paper . Once we were satisfied   with the effort we did onboard the other stakeholders for a ‘ soft learning launch ’ of the visualization of   the web portal . Upon received a few feedbacks we went to the drawing board and improved on the user   interface of the web portal . 

 Insight & Approach : 

 Design thinking indeed changed our though process towards solving a problem . It has open our mind   towards the usefulness of team / group thinking , brain storming , learning launch , storytelling and various   other tools . The design thinking workshop had created so much ideas , which we never thought of . This 

 has helped us in adding a few such features , which the stakeholders did not mention during the interview   process . 

 As this is my 1st hands on experience with design thinking workshop , now I understand the power of   Design Thinking in problem solving . In my future endeavors I will be more open to apply design thinking   approach .
