Mind mapping as a tool for design thinking 

 Challange 

 Have you ever created a website with your design team for an archeological expedition in Crimea ? No ? Me   too , but then one day a customer comes and gives you this challenge . By the way , I am 20 years old and my   professional way as a graphic designer began just three years ago . That 's why creating a website using   special programs and skills plus having such an unusual task drove me mad at first , but then I realized , how   my team and I could grow as specialists so we began to work . 

 Selection 

 All creative processes usually start with theme research . Here the most useful tool to organize the group of   people , to make the process more engaging , to make our minds work together and faster is mind mapping .   As I understand , it is a reflection of all your thoughts , dreams , connections and ideas from the head on the   sheet of paper . It allows you to understand your feelings about the problem and structure it . Consequently ,   all your colleagues can understand you and try to develop it . As I have watched the video about steps for   mind mapping , I decided , that it would perfectly fit all of us , who were not aware of archeology . So the   perfect solution was to organize a meeting with the specialist and try to make our mind map together- our   skill plus their knowledge . To draw some easy schemes and add stickers as a good way of communication   between two different social groups . 

 Application 

 To create a perfect website we made two mind maps : one to specify the look of the site , its appearance , and   a character , and the second one to understand the mechanics and the way of the visitor . At first , we create   three categories named " character " , " impression " and " style " . Then we asked our clients to write three   adjectives on the stickers and add them on a board with these categories . That 's how we found out the main   features of the site we should think of . Nextly we all together made another map imaging that we wanted to   participate in an expedition . So we found some troubles with the clarity and the simplicity of the site   structure . So we got some questions to be solved . Looking back on this experiment , I can say , that it was a   positive educational process and the mind mapping tool led us to see a different side of our job and learned   us to listen to each other , 

 Insight 

 I assume the most heartbreaking insight was ( after the video I was really confused ) to understand that your   mind maps probably wo n't help you because it 's correlated only with your thoughts and experience , not   your customers and clients . If one talks about this specific challenge , I understand , that all people have   different views on the style , character , and mechanics . So mind mapping was a great tool to summarize all   expectations , highlight the most important , and delete the wrong ones . As for the more broad understanding   of design thinking , I learned that all solutions for " very difficult " problems start with easy steps .

 As for the next time when I would use mind mapping I would try to reduce the amount of time that is given   on writing an association or something else to see the fastest and strong thoughts , which are often the most   right ones and hard to catch .
