Visualization 

 1 . Challenge & Selection 

 The tool I like the most , is visualization . I think it gives the people around the challenge a deep   understanding of the problem itself , and brings up other factors that could be useful to achieve a   solution . I am a college student , I do n’t work yet , but that does n’t mean this tool is only for big   enterprises or the government . Along this course , I was able to identify many situations in daily life   that can be worked based on visualization , or visual thinking . In this reflection , I would like to talk   about sports , in particular , football . I know you might say that sports are a subject completely   different in relation to what we saw in this course , but learning all the concepts and the way of   thinking in order to make solutions efficient , the idea that came to my mind , was the similarities of   being a leader and applying this method in the team . I have been playing football for 15 years , and   not only I love playing , but I have been raised by the lessons and values obtained on this beautiful   sport . The main problem I identify in this idea ; is the way we can make that a large group of people   works in unison in order to become a great team . I am the QB , so my purpose is to make this type   of things not only possible , but the modus operandi every single day . The way we work till the 2018   season was good , but not good enough . We affront different types of problems , like gathering   people of distinct social and economics levels in one group , avoid selfishness above everything ,   responsibility in every single action we make , discipline in order to grow as players and persons , and   take away the pride for achieving a larger goal . 

 2 . Application 

 I started the process in the 2009 offseason by creating a space of reflection and visualization for all   the members of the team , including coaches , medical department , and even the general staff . More   specifically , an hour a week where the group can put its mind together to create new ideas or to   solve any setbacks to achieving the main goal , championship . My idea was to gather all the people   that surrounds the players in order to work in the same channel , not only on the field making big   plays , but in the entire organization . First , I divided this session in 5 groups along the week , the   team ’s captains were distributed in each group , as well as the coaches . Second , the team was   divided randomly , taking apart the so common rivalries offense vs defense , also the different   economic and social standards .   The medical and general staff was part of the same procedure . The   5 groups that worked in week 1 , never repeated , each week the people around the group was   assigned to a different one . Having this said , now the work starts . Each session , I asked every   member to draw a picture or tell a story , as they prefer , based on two questions ¿ How you feel right   now ? and ¿ How you visualize at the end of the season ? With these answers we can do a deep   analysis of the relation of the people´s work with the attitude and visualization about the future . I   think the visualization is fundamental when you gather a group that might not know each other as   well as your best friend , but have a goal in common . When everyone in the session has shared his   thoughts about the questions above , then we get to question ourselves ¿ What would you change   in order to make the visualization possible ? I did n’t ask to share these answer , I preferred to make   more an impact on reflection in each one of them . Then , finally I asked ¿ Where do you see yourself   in the next week , what things you think you might have accomplished , do you see yourself closer to   the goal ? The purpose of this final questions is to make things real . I know everyone has goals , and   we can say whatever we want , but what are the things that you really do in order to achieve goals , 

 are you willing to change your attitude to accomplish the purposes of each week , getting a step   closer each week to the main objective . These sessions not only helped to identify feelings and   attitudes surrounding the team , but also to help each other as the season takes part . The drawings   and stories told in each week were saved in a locker , and each week I gave them the visualization of   the last session to create an impact of reflection of the thoughts shared by them . The results came   along each and every single week , the team gathered together as one , not only being empathic and   sharing the same attitude , but creating a mindset that gave us excellent results . Unfortunately , we   were only one step away for achieving the goal , as we lost the final game in OT . But comparing   results with other years , we were a much better team . In 2014 , we had a record of 2 - 6 , in 2011 we   had a 3 - 5 , in 2012 4 - 5 . This year we won 8 games , lost 1 in regular season , stats proved we were the   number one offense and number two defense .   So , yeah , I think the visualization helped us grow as   a team . 

 3 . Insight 

 What I have learned from conducting this new exercise in the organization is that the understanding   of problems is the first step to visualizing the solutions . The sessions helped to create a mindset   around the team , but to gather a group of people and make them understand that a problem of one   single member of the team , is the problem of each one of us , is priceless . Identifying problems is so   difficult for many people , that can mislead a whole team to a different attitude each day . Visualizing   and reflecting one hour a week can bring huge results , I ca n’t imagine doing this two or three times   a week , we could be unstoppable . Unfortunately , we do not live from playing sports , we play for   love . Anyway , in my opinion design thinking is not only for enterprises or governments , my case is   the true example that can be applied to almost anything in our lives if we give the right approach . 

 4 . Approach 

 I discovered that the most valuable asset in the growing of a group of people , in my case , a football   team , is learning how you approach a problem and learning from it . As I said before , we only have   the tools and time to do the session once a week , but if I had the chance to make this progressive ,   definitely two or three sessions would be ideal . Sometimes we do not realize that visualizing and   having a deep reflexion of what is in my hands to solve a problem and where do I see myself doing   in order to accomplish it , is the first and huge step to achieve goals in our daily lives .
