DESIGN THINKING PROJECT 

 Tool : Mind Mapping 

 Challenge and selection 

 The chosen tool is “ Mind Mapping ” . Mind Mapping , as described in the lecture provided by   the Design Thinking for Innovation course , is about looking for patterns and insights in the   large quantity of date the person has collected during the exploration of What is . This tool   will also create a link for the next step , which is What If . To be clearer , Mind Mapping is a   technique with various steps that helps to organize ideas about what the situation , event or   challenge is about . 

 So , what is the situation about ? A general about what I want to attempt to give solution is the   poor working environment in a public institution . For that , it is very needed to get a general   vision of the causes and effects of this event , as in the whole context , before having ideas of   how to solve it . Finally , I ’ll require the participation of the coordinators and the community   of the organization , to obtain different points of view and diverse thoughts on this activity .   That ’s what Mind Mapping is for . 

 Application 

 As it was explained before , Mind Mapping has a series of steps . The first one , as stated in   the lecture provided by the Design Thinking for Innovation course , is to think of it as if we   were holding a yard sale . So , Mind Mapping begins with laying out the data we ’ve collected   prior using this tool . I refer to data as all the information catered that involves the situation ,   which is the poor working environment . For example , applying some tests and interviews to   the people who work in this public institution , separating them by departments or areas , tests   to evaluate how they perceive the reality of this problem , since they ’re the ones being affected   by it . 

 After that , it is needed to organize that information in a large place , it could be a board , or a   table , so everyone can see it clearly . I select the ones that can help me better to discover what   is going on , what effects this has on the people , and what could be the reasons behind the   situation . Then , people from the institution are invited to look at this big panel , in 5 groups   of 10 and given 20 minutes , which has a lot of ideas , not yet connected but that will be after   they participate in the activity . The goal for this step is to ask them , while interacting and   offering feedback to each other : 

  What they think of it .    What they think is missing .    What they think it is not necessary to consider .    What they would change or not . 

 Once that it is finished , they are asked to leave those comments in Post - it notes to stick them   over the information presented , be it positive or negative ones . This activity is solved in 20   minutes . This helps to learn new ideas from their perspective , since Design Thinking is about 

 empathizing , and what matters the most is the satisfaction of the client , in this case , the group   of people that belong to this organization . 

 Finally , the last step is to identify the insights related to each cluster and look for connections   between them . This is to be solved with their participation in another 20 minutes , while   noticing the way the ideas they contributed to this map are related . After all of this process ,   there is only one question left : “ If anything were possible , what criteria would your new   design meet ? ” The answer to that will help to jump onto the next activity of the Design   Thinking process . 

 Insight and Approach 

 What was learned through working on this exercise is that it is very important to consider the   opinion of other people and accept their advices and comments . Mind Mapping is a very   efficient technique when it comes to collecting information and taking the person in   consideration , since this exercise is addressed to them . 

 It is probably something new to the people from this institution , too , because decisions within   the organization are taken without their knowledge . It helps to make them feel connected ,   that their perspective is valid , and to make them participate on the situation , and also invited   them to think of the context of an event they are involved in . 

 In conclusion , the chosen tool in this opportunity will be used on a next time , since it came   with great results , and it helped me to have a different perspective on a situation that happens   in real life .
