Tool – Visualization 

 Selection & Challenges : 

 The first tool I used was Visualization , or Visual Analytics to achieve visual data presentation   that was engaging and instinctive to all the stakeholders of the company as well as the   audience . I came across data visualization while I was reading an article about the human   brain , how the brain perceives information surrounding us , different parts of brain ( Creative   & Reasoning ) & how to engage each part of the brain . Data Visualization taps what we refer   to as the “ Iconic Memory ” of a user which helps in clear understanding of presenter ’s idea &   predict things without much cognitive load which would be less engaging with the   traditional tools such as big data , statistics and so on . This creative way of presenting ideas   spoke to me & I have been working on Visualization since then . 

 Clearly , venturing into a new territory has some hardships associated with it . Let ’s take an   example of a newly found island – first , you ’ll have to clear forests and shrubbery to make   space for open lands , then , use technology to leverage the land & finally , make   improvements to the structures with the passing time . Similarly , I had to first learn about   the different tools associated with visualization ( I choose tableau because it was easy to   understand ) , I did specialization courses with Coursera ( provided by University of California ,   Davis ) & to improve my knowledge , I browse various data viz posted by people to develop   new ways of delivering visualization . 

 Application : 

 1 . I start the process by gathering data and understanding the needs of stakeholders as well as 

 the customers . The data I have worked with is customer - focused & belonged to a big retail   business that covers customer credentials , appliances or items brought , frequency , retail   segment & so on . I work with my manager to understand the deliverables and requirements   of the projects so as to prepare efficient & clear visualization . 

 2 . After gathering enough information & data , I devise a neat framework on B&W on how to 

 approach towards formulating a solution following a step by step through detailed process .   One of my problem was providing a current status of shipments according to the time they   were promised to be delivered . In this , I had collected data about the mode of   transportation , promised shipment delivery & actual shipment delivery details . I devised a   plan of providing an area graph between the number of records & order date to provide   details about their current status . 

 3 . I used Tableau to prepare a data viz in which I had to create a new calculated field ( Status of 

 shipment ) which prompted the answer as Shipment early , Shipment on time & shipment   late . I used an area graph because the axis presented a single dimension & measure for the   problem . 

 4 . Finally , I removed clutters ( gridlines , unnecessary alfa - numerals & so on ) and introduce 

 colour coding to help the end user differentiate between different segments that I wanted   to present .

 Insights & Approach : 

 During my project I realized how crucial it is to keep in mind the following points : 

 1 . Diverse team that I am working with - Diverse team with their different mindsets 

 approach the problem differently which is the core when an organization is leaning   towards design thinking for innovation . Collaboration of these different approaches   helps in formulating a solution at a faster pace by removing bias & gut feelings of a   single individual . 

 2 . Business objective or Value creation towards the business – It is crucial to understand 

 how the solution proposed to the problem adds value to the company or   organization . We should also keep in mind the business core capabilities & goals in   mind . 

 3 . Feedback – Design Thinking is an iterative process that works on trial & test basis . The 

 most important part of this process is feedback . Feedback tells us about the   expectation of our stakeholders & how far we are from reaching those expectations . 

 These are the most important aspects I have discovered in my nascent journey in the field of   visualization & I would work on improving these by removing my individual bias ,   collaboration of people with different mindsets , encouraging feedbacks & keep in my mind   the value creation to the company by the said process .
