Example Reflection – Visualization 

 Challenge & Selection 

 I found the visualization tool very interesting , since I felt it necessary to be able to capture   and externalize the ideas and thoughts , in this case , of the workers , to know what   problems or discomforts have so that the whole group of workers as well as the managers   have a greater understanding of the problem and its possible solutions by making them   tangible . 

 I am a recently graduated industrial engineerin my country Perú , trying to expand my   repertoire little by little , looking for the constant optimization of the processes , I work in a   company manufacturing leather footwear , where people with low levels of education , they   are very reserved , they have very little communication and prefer not to get involved in the   tasks of others or in their personal lives , often causing errors in the orders and in other key   processes in the production of footwear , my challenge is to improve the work environment   of the company in turn achieving an improvement in productivity . 

 Application     I will begin the process by drawing a house , a path and the company building , which will   symbolize the places where they spend most of the day , in order to identify what problems   they have and where they originate , I will also cut small pieces of paper in which I will write   positive , negative emotions . 

 The activity will be carried out at the beginning of the working day , so that the workers are   more willing to collaborate , since by experience , if the activity was carried out later , the   workers would be thinking only of leaving and the information collected could be wrong . 

 To start the activity , I will separate the workers of 4 - 6 workers , including the managers ,   into 3 groups . and I will meet them separately so that the company does not stop its   processes . Each group will receive the previously made drawing together with the pieces   of paper , written with positive and negative emotions , they will also be given pieces of   blank paper so that they can add some other emotion . then they will be asked to choose   an emotion and paste it in the place where they feel it ( at home , on the way to work or at   work ) , they will be given an approximate time of 15 minutes . After having carried out this   activity with the 3 groups , I will gather them all in the same room where we will discuss   which activities generate the greatest discontent from the point of view of the workers and   the managers . After concluding the session I will classify which are the most repetitive   emotions and where they happen , from this information will be addressed possible   solutions . 

 Insight & Approach     What I learned from having done this activity , is the important role played by the   visualization in the identification of problems and in the solution of them and how it can be   incorporated to people with a high level of education , as well as in people with a very low   level of education . It is important to understand the problem , the graphics give us different   points of view , workers can share their perspectives and ideas about possible solutions to   the problem . When working on a graph , workers can relate directly to it and interact better   since they can identify themselves in the drawing , they also manage to identify the   external variables that can be a cause for the problem . 

 Since I was able to experiment with the visualization tool , I realized that a very important   aspect in the solution of the problems is to understand them completely , to make them   tangible in order to be able to give them a solution from several points of view . 

 I will continue using this tool in all my design thinking projects , combining it with the story   telling tool or mind mapping as I find them as a complement to the visualization .
