Challenge & Selection : 

 The Visualization tool is strongly effective tool in design thinking process to solve the problem . I used   this tool of Visualization , or Visual Thinking , to achieve a shared understanding of a problem of   innovative graphic design to identify and define possible solutions to the problem . I use this approach   often with our customers , who are different small and big companies or individuals working to apply   technology innovations to modernize their mission or the delivery of their services to their customer ,   which may be citizens , businesses , and non - citizens . I have used the technique of using a straw man   visualization of a problem domain with a set of questions or prompts for discussion to allow a diverse   group of customers to learn from each other in the process of defining the scope , boundaries , key   elements , and relationships between elements to consider when identifying pain points and   opportunities for improvements or solutions . 

 Application : 

 I start the process by creating a straw man graphic of the problem domain . To develop the straw man   graphic , I will draw from any existing material available to understand the environment . The existing   material may be operational or procedural documents , training materials , marketing materials , GAO   or other auditing reports . If materials are not available , then I conduct informal interviews with one- three of the stakeholders who serve as my main points of contact on the initiative . If appropriate to the   situation , I will borrow the concept to “ front - stage / back - stage ” from previous research , and discussed   in David Gray ’s book , “ The Connected Company ” . The front - stage / back - stage approach helps to   reinforce the notion that every service – even an internal service – has customers with whom the   service provider interacts and internal processes that enable the organization to provide the service .   The template I often start with also has a column on the left to identify Partners and Value Chain   Providers and a column on the right to identify Oversight Organizations , such as Congress , GAO ,   labor unions , advocacy groups , and other entities that may add constraints to how the organization   operates . The straw man graphic is simple , using simple shapes and icons available in Visio or on the   Internet . If the front - stage / back - stage view does n’t work , then I will create a different type of visual ,   either based on a high - level process flow with swim lanes for different stakeholders , or another   format . For the activity , I will divide the stakeholders into groups of 5 - 6 participants each representing   a different organization or area of interest . Each group receives a poster - size copy of the straw man   graphic that they can write on directly , or use sticky notes to make comments . I give them two - three   questions to answer , such as : 1 ) What key elements are missing from the graphic ? 2 ) What would you   change about the graphic to make it more accurately reflect your problem space ? 3 ) What key insights   do you have about the relationships between the entities in your problem space ? I give them   approximately 20 minutes to discuss the questions and mark up the graphic . Then I have each group   report out on their answers to those three questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their poster . As   each group reports out , I record commonalities in the insights of each group , and then additional   insights that come from the group discussion on an additional copy of the graphic . After the session , I   digitize each group ’s poster as an artifact , create a view that combines the shared and new insights   from the group discussion , and then create a revised graphic that incorporates their feedback and   proposed changes that they agreed to as a group .
