Mind Mapping 

 Challenge 

 When I started working as R&D department director at a large hospital , I found there was a big 

 problem about lack of involvement , commitment and proactivity among employees , which was 

 already causing a decrease in efficiency and success obtaining positive results from the 

 department . Therefore , I decided to address the challenge of solving this situation using design 

 thinking tools , which are proper to be applied across internal projects related to people 

 management . 

 Selection 

 The design thinking tool I selected was mind mapping applied to human resources , which can 

 bring great value to the organization , employees and the department itself . 

 Application 

 A diverse and multidisciplinary team was created with all employees from my department and 

 also some employees from other areas . In this way , it helped to generate a common language 

 among different people involved , in order to help to understand magnitude of the challenge and 

 its implications . The objective was to represent in a graphic , organized and structured way a 

 series of ideas ( mind mapping ) around a central question related to the following challenge : How 

 should internal initiatives be aimed at promoting involvement , creativity and intrapreneurship ? 

 Based on this idea , different characteristics that should be met by the initiatives to be promoted , 

 and the benefits they should provide both to employees and the hospital . By decomposing the 

 initial challenge into several sections , the team was better able to understand how to solve it , and 

 to decide if it is more convenient to focus on some aspects or others . 

 Insight 

 Applying mind mapping , team members were able to observe , investigate , listen , generate and 

 analyze ideas , which at first were not very valuable . However , with the tool used , the ideas could 

 be filtered to select the most promising ones . From these results I realized that , in order to 

 achieve the full involvement of employees , it was very important to generate new transparent and 

 credible ways of working taking into account the proposals of employees , which encourage 

 participation and communication between departments , which contribute to personal and 

 professional growth , aligned with the objectives of the organization . 

 Approach 

 The applied design thinking tool was very effective to understand employees , their frustrations , 

 motivations and concerns . It was also very useful to generate and select the best ideas in order 

 to finish the lack of involvement , commitment and proactivity . In my opinion , this tool offers many 

 possibilities and should be adopted proactively , as it will not only bring better solutions in the 

 area of people management , but also in the departments and companies applying it .
