Challenge & Selection 

 With So Many Insurance companies available & So many multiple Options to choose from – Buying   Insurance is a cumbersome & confusing process . Specifically , being employed – with the Employer giving   out options – handling multiple documents of Papers to read from , Whole process is a time consuming   & worst process that I have been through Once myself . 

 Everyone goes through the same cycle -experiencing It in the same way most of times . Sometimes its   way where the person selling the Insurance does n’t know what the benefits are / Insurance premiums   are & Just goes forward & say this is the Best Insurance that I have to Offer 

 So let ’s think of Situation for those people –   Specifically Small Business who ca n’t afford Insurance , This   is the Challenge that I went ahead with analyzing if there exists such people & Started with the   Customer discovery process as part of participating in Lean Startup Conference . So to gather this Data   /Insights & get answers to Question < What is > – we used the process called : Visual Thinking 

 Application 

 Using Visual Thinking , Tool – we went to achieve a shared understanding of a problem space among a   diverse group of stakeholders like Small Business / Unemployed before attempting to identify and   define possible solutions to the problem – Who had no insights / ideas to the Insurance buying process . I   used this approach & Stepped out into the Market to gather Statistics & Insights to answer the Question   to gather data for this Problem : What is the process generally this people ( Small Business ) would have   with their Health Insurance buying Options 

 Based on the Interview /Insights in studying this potential Customer – I came to know & understand that   the People that sold them Insurance – did not know much details of the potential benefits their   Insurance had to offer , Leave alone that – One /two persons that I spoke with – did n’t know if their   insurance would cover critical conditions like : Diabetes / Cancer – Since there is no   instant way to know   the plan / coverage rather than digging through each page of the data document that the Insurance plan   provides . 

 Insight & Approach 

 What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups of Small Business People – that I   stepped out to discover & validate the existing problem these People face – was that it was a actual   problem / need for many people that most people were n’t sure that the Insurance that they have    bought /chose is actually the right & best one . Many of these People were n’t even that they had been   given the Right Insurance option that they Chose . This reinforced   their understanding of the problem   that we were working   to solve as part of the Participating through lean Startup conference . Using this   Data / Insights – we captured about 10 Such Small Businesses that had these problem & Validated the   HYPOTHESIS that we assumed in building the Pivot for the Startup that I was working on – along with my   Team – was an Insurance Finder Match engine ( called Health Match ) that would dig through Multiple 

 documents of Data & provide the Results in a Simple Graphic Interface of the Best insurance match for   them ./anyone . This Single graphic /Visual Representation would assist /Simplify the Insurance buying   process instead of digging through Tons of data . Persons can quickly identify where they are in the   graphic – or if they are missing – and can more quickly gain new insights about relationships between   key entities instead of taking time to identify them . They can also identify variables in the problem space   – that is , it helps them to identify what they do n’t know , in what areas they need to obtain information   or data to provide the values for the variables . Since I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the   shared insights and learning , next time I   used the visualization activity captured through as a starting   point for a series of design thinking activities . Then the revised graphic that incorporates their combined   feedback for this Insurance Match Search Engine
