Reflection on the Visualization Tool 

 Challenge 

 Coming from an engineering background , I have noted while sharing new ideas and concepts   among the various stakeholders , there is a less usage of Visual Imagery . Though the times are   changing and new tools are available , still considering that the stakeholders are from different   backgrounds , there is always a strong emphasis on the need of the Visualization tool during the   design thinking process . 

 Selection 

 In this reflection , I have selected the Visualization tool to highlight its emphasis in the industrial   environment . To explain the need of this tool I will give an example of the word ‘ force ' . This word   has many different ‘ sub - meanings ' when used in different fields . These fields may include English ,   Physics , Chemistry , Design , the entire diverse world of engineering etc . Thus to emphasis on the   right ‘ sub - meaning ’ of ‘ force ' , we employ the use of Visualization design tool , so that the   stakeholders get an exact insight and understanding of what the presenter is trying to convey . 

 Application 

 After explaining the need for this design tool , the next question is how do we apply it ? In this   diverse world , the applications of employing this design tool are many . I will give my example of   how I had employed this design tool . As I have mentioned earlier that I am from am engineering   background , my job is to generate as many ideas as possible . With that done , the next question   is how to share these ideas with my stakeholders in an impactful way ? How can they understand   what I am trying to say or how will the concept work ? 

 The answer is to simply convey my ideas through pen and pencil . Of course you need some Da   Vinci magic to make it more impactful , but a simple sketch will do a better job than many pages   of engineering gibberish . Keep your stakeholders and their background in mind during a   presentation or a proposal . Canva is another tool that I use to make the presentation more   ‘ stakeholder friendly ' . We as Design thinkers need to convey as much information as possible in   the least amount of time , in a much impactful way . 

 After getting positive responses ( sometimes negative ) from our stakeholders , especially now   they have understood the real concept , then we can move in the next phase of the design 

 process . We can improve the communication in the team as they now have full information on   the required problem and thus reduce miscommunication and wastage of time . 

 Insight 

 Previously , I did not emphasise strongly on the Visualization design tool , but now learning of   various stories mentioned in this course modules , especially The Good Kitchen story , I have   realised its necessity . Although Design thinking is not just the use of a single design tool to solve   a particular task , but rather it is a way of approaching a challenge using a number of design tools .   Therefore in employing other design tools along with Visualization tool , I hope to become a better   Design thinker . 

 Approach 

 With the world now focusing more on customer experience and with the advent of new   technologies , it is only logical that the Visualization tool should be used more often , be they   include simple graphics or the more compelling pictorial representations . The use of Virtual   reality can provide a much more holistic experience to the involved stakeholders . I would like   end with a question , that is , could you imagine yourself as a child learning alphabets without any   visuals ?
