Example Reflection – Visualization 

 Challenge & Selection 

 I am a student of IT Engineering and my / our challenge is to make a place in our competitive   field . We are a small team of 3 members who love programming and are very keen to learn   new languages of programming . We have gained sufficient knowledge and are ready to step   up our game and enter the corporate world . We want to make websites and apps for the   small companies or businesses as we are now capable of it . But it is not that simple to be   honest . There is too much competition and nobody likes to work with newbie freelancers   like us . So , our challenge is to achieve our first big break by locking a project with a   company . We have discussed about several design thinking tools and we decide to use the   Visualization tool . Visualization is about using pictures . It pushes us beyond using just   language . It allows us to reflect in a non - verbal way . We selected visualization because we   want our client to visualize what they will get as an end product by working with us . We   want them to achieve confidence in us by visualizing our work . 

 Application 

 So let me tell you this story about how I applied it . We made an appointment with a hotel   owner and we were going to present him our idea of a mobile app . He wanted to hire a   company to develop such app and we went ahead and arranged an appointment . We made   a prototype before some days of meeting . We listened to his requirements in the project .   We understood what he wanted and instead of making him understand what we think we   presented out prototype as a visual representation . We made him walk through our   prototype and made him understand how we are going to approach it . Our prototype was   different from his requirements and so we explained him how we are going to change it   according to his requirement . It was hard to tell what he was feeling about our   presentation . 

 So after finishing the presentation he said that he was not going to give us the project   before but after the presentation he changed his mind because he now has clear   understanding about what he will get . He also made us keep our original features in   prototype because he was quite impressed by it . 

 Insight 

 What we have learned from applying this tool is that people from non - technical background   does n’t fully understand what we say in words . It makes much more simpler for them to   match our thinking if we use visualization to speak for us . They can quickly gain a picture of   what they will get as an end product . I talked with the client and he said the same . He said it   was easy to reject us because we were newbies and were not reliable . But he said that our   work speaks for us and that is the reason we got the project . 

 Though many companies prefer to make a model after acquiring the project we as a   newbies have to be one step ahead to make out client believe in us by our work . 

 Approach 

 We got quite good response with the visualization tool and we would like to improve how   we use the visualization tool by adding variations in different prototype . We would also love   to use old work as an example in new similar projects . 

 Apart from Visualization I think storytelling can get quite effective as we gain some   experience . We can share how we worked with other companies under particular   circumstances and achieved what client wanted .
