Case Reflection – Visualization 

 Challenge & Selection 

 The to begin with device I utilized was the instrument of Visualization , or Visual   Considering , to attain a shared understanding of a issue space among a different   gather of partners some time recently endeavoring to distinguish and define possible   arrangements to the issue . I utilize this approach frequently with our clients , who are   government agencies working to apply innovation developments to modernize their   mission or the conveyance of their services to their client , which may be U.S. citizens ,   businesses , and non - citizens . I have utilized the technique of employing a straw man   visualization of a issue space with a set of questions or prompts for discussion to   permit a diverse group of partners to memorize from each other within the prepare   of defining the scope , boundaries , key components , and connections between   components to consider when identifying pain focuses and openings for   advancements or solutions . 

 Application 

 I start the method by creating a straw man graphic of the matter domain . To develop   the straw mangraphic , i will be able to draw from any existing material available to   know the environment . the prevailing material could also be operational or   procedural documents , training materials , marketing materials , GAO or other   auditing reports . If materials do n't seem to be available , then I conduct informal   interviews with one - three of the stakeholders who function my details of contact on   the initiative . If appropriate to true , i will be able to 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 bolster the   notion that each service – even an enclosed service – has customers with whom the   service provider interacts and internal processes that enable the organization to   supply the service . The template I often start with also contains a column on the left   to spot Partners and Value Chain Providers and a column on the correct to spot   Oversight Organizations , like Congress , GAO , labor unions , advocacy groups , and   other entities that will add constraints to how the organization operates . The straw   man graphic is straightforward , 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 be able to   create a special kind of visual , either supported a high - level process flow with swim   lanes for various stakeholders , or another format . For the activity , i 'll 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 'll pen directly , or use sticky notes to form 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 form 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 debate the questions and price the graphic .   Then i 've got 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 within the insights of every group , then additional insights that come   from the give - and - take on a further copy of the graphic . After the session , I digitize   each group ’s poster as an artifact , create a view that mixes the shared and new   insights from the give - and - take , then create a revised graphic that includes their   feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a gaggle . 

 Insight & Approach 

 What i 've got learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that while   the graphic – especially the revised graphic that comes with their feedback – is very   important for reinforcing their understanding of the matter they 're working to   unravel , the more valuable aspect of the activity is that the shared insights and   shared learning that happens while they 're working to define their problem space .   The graphic gives the various group of stakeholders a point of interest for discussion   that enables them to share their perspectives and develop insights into potential root   causes of their problems . While they could create the graphic from a blank slate in a   very collaborative manner , starting with a straw man jump starts the conversation for   them . they will quickly identify where they 're within the graphic – or if they 're   missing – and may more quickly gain new insights about relationships between key   entities rather than taking time to spot them . they 'll also identify variables within the   problem space – that 's , it helps them to spot what they do n’t know , in what areas   they have to get information or data to produce the values for the variables . Since I   discovered that the foremost valuable aspect is that the shared insights and learning ,   next time i 'd use the visualization activity as a start line for a series of design thinking   activities . Then the revised graphic that comes with their combined feedback can   function a reference tool throughout the remainder of their work .
