Visualization - Time Management Challenge 

 Challenge & Selection 

 Since a few month coronavirus pandemic impacts on our daily life causing especially time   management challenge . Going into more detail , one has to point out that this is above all the case   during our daily shopping activities for nourishments and the after - cleansing process of the bought   foodstuffs . The domains of the virus are still not finalized and there is yet no vaccine for treatment .   Due to this people tend to behave in a more time - consuming manner and pay special attention to   cleaning and hygiene for protecting themselves from the virus . 

 Thus , for understanding the problem in a better context and for finding appropriate solutions   regarding this issue , I preferred the visualization tool . The first and the most important step of design   thinking is visualization . Therefore , in order to design the solution , one has to understand the   problem / challenge to be solved clearly , and this is best done by visualizing it . Visualization tool helps   us to see the bigger picture easily and build connections between different approaches . Besides ,   discussing the sketches of different people helps to generate ideas by adding different points , as it   was the case in the Good Kitchen Story being told in the video lecture . 

 Application 

 I initiate the process by drawing a stick man standing next to his house who tries to decide how he   can go to the supermarket for fulfilling the shopping of nourishments . This person has no car and   does not want to use public transportation owing to the high coronavirus impact as well as the   tremendous crowd in the vehicles . As a consequence , he decides to walk for more than 20 minutes   for arriving to the supermarket . After 20 minutes , he arrives at the supermarket but he is   disappointed since he has to wait in front of the market due to the queue . The reasons for this queue   are the restriction with regards to the number of people who are allowed to be inside the market   due to the virus and social distance rules . After finishing shopping this person , having many bags in   his hands , goes the same way back to his home by walking . However , this time the walk takes longer   because of the bags . Arriving at home , the whole process is not finished yet , since the cleaning   process of the nourishments begin . Walking to the supermarket , waiting for the queue , going back   home and doing cleansing takes at least one hour more as usually and causes time management   problems . 

 I did this activity with two different , separated groups . One group consists of family members and   the other group consists of friends . Showing my sketch of the problem to them , I asked them some   questions ; 

 1 ) According to you , having a look at the sketch , what is the challenge we face in this case ? ( I asked   the question to understand if I conveyed the problem accurately by using visualization ) 

 2 ) Are there any key elements missing ? If yes , why do you think these elements you mentioned are   missing ? 

 3 ) Would you change anything about the sketch ? If yes , what would you change about the sketch ? 

 I gave them all 25 minutes for reasoning . Afterwards , I asked them to answer the aforementioned   questions by showing their own additions to the sketch visually . Ultimately , for every group I made   the additions mentioned by them and revised the sketch . At the end there were two revised   sketches ; one of the family group and the other one of the friend ’s group . 

 Insight & Approach 

 By conducting this experiment with two groups , I got two insights showing differences as well as   similarities . The revised graphic incorporates their feedback and secures a better understanding of   the problem and the problem space . Discussing about the questions in group helps to understand   different perspectives contributing to finding the best solution . This likewise helps to gain deeper and   equally new insights concerning the challenge and develop potential root reasons . Visualization can   be seen as the skeleton for other steps of the design thinking process resulting in successful   outcomes . One has to visualize the problem space accurately in order to succeed and find the best   possible solution to alleviate pains or challenges . 

 For the next time , I would again prefer visualization for challenges I am exposed to , since from my   point of view visualizing the challenge or problem in a correct manner is the starting point for this   process and it will always help to solve problems effectively . Nonetheless , I would prefer combining   two different groups with each other for creating a better brainstorming with different insights and   perspectives instead of separating them . In this case , it should be highlighted that different groups   lead to various solution approaches and bolster creativity . 

 To cut a long story short , the aforementioned story depicts that visualization can be used in one ’s   everyday life , not only for projects or business life . Hence , adapting the steps of design thinking in   our the daily lives can result in finding faster solutions to problems and live a more enjoyable and   problem - free life .
