Reflection Assignment 

 Using Storytelling and Visualization Tools to Drive Business Innovation 

 Challenge 

 Working as a Data Scientist in a bank , I often face multiple design challenges . My work involves   using advanced , new , and creative ways to create valuable solutions out of the data within our   organization . This includes the full process from understanding the business problem , to   creating the solution and finally to deliver the solution back to the stakeholders . However , one   of the major challenges I face is how to present my work to the stakeholders to get their buy - in .   Because of the well - established nature of the financial industry , it becomes quite hard to   convince the stakeholders with new ways of doing business . Especially given that the solutions   provided include some unconventional math and novel advanced technologies . 

 Selection 

 However , despite being limited by the classical ways of delivering similar projects , which are   mainly through documents , manuals , and emails . I decided to tackle this , by resorting to a new   way of doing business presentations . That is using a mix of both storytelling and visualization   tools , in a workshop - like setting . 

 Application 

 The workshop started by going through the business challenge and how this affects our   business , and most importantly where are the opportunities . Then proceeded by introducing a   fictional graphical character called " Adam . " This character represents a customer who uses our   products and services . Then step by step , we start to follow Adam 's journey of interactions with   our products throughout the day . Using multiple graphical elements and illustrations , I   demonstrated how Adam interacts with , for example , his credit card , and how his interactions   reflect in our data systems . Accordingly , we now have a premise to think about how could   enhance Adam 's experience . And how the new solution can be utilized in each step of Adam 's   journey to provide him with a better service . 

 Insight 

 By applying this method I managed to provide my audience with a new tool for customer- centric decision making . That is how to think about the products and services with the customer   in mind . Additionally , I demonstrated the complex , technical internals of the new , and   advanced technological solutions in a simplified manner . This manner not only relatable and   tied to the customer 's day - to - day journey , but also the stakeholder 's day - to - day business   activities . Accordingly , it became easier to show how to utilize those solutions to help in   enhancing the customer 's experience . 

 Approach 

 However , what I might do differently next time , would be involving the business stakeholders   from day one in the solution design process . The provided solution might be useful in   enhancing some of the business processes as is , but other processes might need to be changed   to suit the new methods . This is in some cases infeasible or sometimes inconvenient .   Accordingly , early involvement should enable a more comprehensive coverage of all the   business activities relevant to the problem at hand .
