Challenge 

 I work in a non - governmental organization which operates with projects in the field of health   predominately influenced by governmental rules , regulations and guidelines . One of our   values is effective and positive collaboration with local partners in whichever area we work in   so as priorities are set and needed assistance is given in areas most needed . The challenge   comes in planning meetings where the inputs of the partners are necessary in order that   project plans that are right for each area are implemented . However , different partners have   different views about projects , how plans are made , who should be involved as well as what   should be included and how they should look . Hence involving all relevant stakeholders and   keeping them interested in planning is sometimes an obstacle . 

 Selection 

 Visualization : this is a tool useful in everyday tasks in which graphics can be used to get the   message across as well as for further clarity and understanding . It helps in explaining further   what one is putting across as at times people may perceive words differently and make own   conclusions which may not necessarily be the presents ( Jana Zeller , Module 1 ) .   Visualization therefore brings about cohesiveness and assists in memory as people turn to   remember things more once they see them than those they hear or read about . Visualization   entices people to be creative and come up with ideas which they would not necessarily would   have thought of if they were only discussing them or reading about them . It is a tool most   suitable in all kinds of tasks and can be easily adapted and combined even with other tools to   make an emphasis or statement a little clearer . It boosts imagination and thinking non - verbally   to portray ideas differently but precisely . 

 Application 

 In one of the workshops held for one of the areas we work in ; a hospital in the hard to reach   areas , the use of visualization was made to engage with everyone . All department heads were   invited which not only included the clinical departments but also administration , maintenance   and Laundry . As this was the first time that all departments were together , the meeting began   first with a video clip showing the forest ecosystem and how interactions in a natural   environment are made for sustainability . This enabled everyone to see how important each   part is to make a whole and that if we all pull our efforts together towards a goal , that goal is   highly likely to be achieved and sustained . Each representative was then asked to introduce   themselves by drawing what their jobs were on the board and for others to guess what that   was , after which they can then explain what that department does . This not only made   everyone laugh as we are not all best at drawing but it made people connect faster and feel   at ease . 

 The discussions went on to explain the aim of the workshop and what needs to be   accomplished . Everyone was then grouped into teams each with a theme and start writing   down what they believe can work in their context . To explain the contexts , pictures of each   department and the entire hospital were shared . With them and they were to form ideas as to   what they would like improved physically and systematically to make the hospital more   hospitable and for patients recover quicker as the technical aspect is covered by their 

 knowledge and skills . At the same time the hospitals Mission and Vision were displayed in the   room the entire time so that ideas can be mapped and aligned with them . 

 At the end of the day , the ideas that came were not only meaningful for each department but   had a link to others and the rest of the hospital . There were about 10 ideas put down in a table   format with scales and color coding from the most important to least using red , amber and   green ( least to most important ) . These were taken to the management of the hospital and   communicated with our management ( the NGO ) in order that they give approval and start   working on that which the participants found as the most vital in which they can implement   thus have a sense of ownership instead of management having imposed on them . 

 Insights from using the tool 

 -   People understand faster and better when they see things ; 

 -   Visualization makes summaries that are clear even to people who did not attend the   workshop ; 

 -   Cohesion can be built since people can easily make sense of ideas and the direction   of where the presenter or person with idea wants to go ; 

 -   Trainings that use more visual aids are more attentive and keep people interested ,   their innovative juices flow well in this context ; 

 -   I realized I use the tool often but was not aware of it in this light and was therefore not   using all its strengths to cultivate all its advantages but now its functionality shall   become my everyday tool 

 Approach 

 Visualization is a very helpful tool as it can be adapted to any context . People stay alert and   the workshops go well and are not so boring thus its use shall be made further . More of its   functions in presenting results for example shall be made , for example , graphs . I believe   matched with mind - mapping the two can bring the best out of any situation . My next move will   be utilizing both the tools in a workshop and try matching it with other tools too and see how   far one can go with it .
