Reflection - Mind Mapping 

 Challenge   Being working in the training department in a construction company , I was assigned to   handle training project which is to teach interpersonal skills based on DISC behavior   profile ( a very popular assessment tool ) to 220 construction workers .      For the office staff , they will attend 3 hours training with mini lecture , assessment and   exercises . However , the construction workers are really “ different ” from office staff .   Technically , the construction workers can only allow lunch time ( around 1 hour ) to   attend training . Also , those construction workers were located in more than 10 

 different locations . It was difficult to gather them together . Our time constraint is to   complete the training project by end of December 2016 .     Selection   I have selected mind mapping in the first phase of design thinking process because I   have evaluated the benefits of using it . First , mind mapping helps to discover the   patterns and insights in a large amount of ideas . Secondly , mind mapping is more   intuitive , creative and visual which is easier to simulate ideas . Moreover , the whole   team can participate in generating ideas in an equal way . Everyone has the chance to   voice out . 

 Application   I took the role as facilitator . Before I started the process , I announced different rules . 

 The core rule was to respect other ideas and not to judge the ideas during the   generating process . Also , I invited all the participants to give high - five to each   participant to show their willingness to follow the rules and to set an encouraging   atmosphere .     For the environment , I haven written the discussion topic on the white board and 

 prepared many sticky notes with different color and different shapes which already   helped to stimulate different ideas .     Then the sharing started . I invited everyone ready to start with the theme sharing his   or her sticky notes related to that theme . Then put these on the white board or   whatever so that the whole team can see them . I helped to the team member adding   their sticky notes that are related to that same or similar idea . The next team member   does the same . Then a second team member will suggest another theme , and so forth , 

 until all the sticky notes are on the white board . I wrote some statements on large 

 sticky notes and placed them on top of the appropriate sticky note group . Our   participants can associate the connections between different clusters . 

 For some ideas that I can not be categorized or seem “ not related or useful ” , I stuck 

 the notes aside . They may work their way in later . Not to miss any potential ideas ! 

 Insight   The biggest insight was the large amount of ideas . Out of our expectation , the ideas   were so all rounded . It was not just to tackle our challenge . We also collected ideas on 

 how to implement the training projects and also how to measure the effectiveness . It   enriched the depth of our project . It helped us to move one step forward to prepare   more comprehensive implementation plan . Another insight was the ideas ( stick notes )   were organized with different category with heading or key sentence . All our ideas   were contributing a “ big ” picture . Every team have equal chance to voice out . A very   interactive way to exchange of ideas !     Approach   Mind mapping was a great tool to map the ideas from mind . It was simple and easy to   use . Every participant has the chance to present their ideas in a friendly and non- 

 judgmental environment . Every participant has tasted the benefits with huge amount   of ideas contributing to a big picture . Next time , I will recommend our participants to   the construction site to complete the empathy map ( e.g. see , listen … . ) so we   understood our targets more . I will expect more high - quality ideas . In short , mind 

 mapping is already a great tool to use . It is so powerful and flexible that it can be   combined with other tools to use together . I felt good to have more tools in my pocket .   Thank you !
