Reflection – Visualization 

 Challenge and Selection 

 I work at a company with regional offices , and I have to organize orientation programs for 

 new employees . It has been difficult to organize this program in person with all these travel 

 restrictions . So I have to find a way to do this online and allow the new employees to 

 understand the work environment and our company culture . The new employees come from 

 different countries and they are now working from home . It is not easy to effectively get our 

 messages across and get them engaged in an orientation program . 

 Then I discovered the design thinking tool , Visualization , to help me conduct the orientation 

 program . For an in - person orientation program , we already have powerpoint slides and 

 materials ready , but we have to make the activities available through online meetings , and 

 more visualized for the online program . 

 Application 

 Originally for in - person program , there was an activity about their preferences of work culture 

 and practices . On the floor , we would mark a line with a scale from 0 to 10 , we would ask 

 them to come up from their seats , and stand next to the line that fits their preference . 

 So for online program , we would ask these employees to all come to a Google spreadsheet , 

 so that we could collaborate together online . We use cells in the spreadsheet to represent 

 the scale , and ask the employees to fill in their colors to indicate their preferences . This 

 allows us to bring the activities online and let the employees participate actively during the 

 online orientation program . And these activities provide them opportunities to discuss with 

 each other more visually in the online meeting . 

 Insight and Approach 

 In the after - program survey , the employees would have to provide feedback on what they 

 find useful in the online orientation program . Visualization is really effective in delivering 

 messages when people are likely to be distracted . Mony of them would find the orientation 

 program helpful in understanding the company . The program is not a one - way 

 communication in which we talk about the powerpoint slides . It allows the employees to 

 participate actively through the activities visualized with online tools . The satisfaction rate of 

 the participants could maintain as high as an in - person orientation program . 

 We will continue to improve our online program . When we are able to organize an in - person 

 program again , I will plan more visualization tools in the program . I believe using a design 

 thinking approach could help us achieve much more .
