Example Reflection – Learning Launch 

 Challenge & Selection 

 I work in a computer consulting firm , in the industrialization area , where we are only two   people , since it is starting to grow . In this area we are in charge of implementing tools and   methodologies in the different projects within the company , that is to say , we work in a   transversal way to help the teams work more efficiently , eliminating dead time and waste that   give us value to the process . 

 We want to make ourselves known , that the different teams of the company look for us and   feel the need to carry out improvement activities , to help them in their work . Currently we are   the ones who go directly to each of the teams to show them the different activities we do ,   tools we offer and methodologies that can be useful to implement . It would be much more   interesting to make Design Thinking known and to be able to implement it in the teams , so   that it becomes a new way of working and changing their mentality . 

 Selection 

 I have chosen Learning Launch because it is a very useful mechanism to turn an idea into   something real , also because it allows us to do many quick and cheap experiments , because   we throw ourselves into the unknown , to bet on something that we do not know how it will   end , but with the hope that everything will go well and because if it goes well or badly , we will   always learn something new . 

 Application 

 The first step was to conduct research to answer the question , " What is ? To explore the real   situation of each of the projects , which allowed us to identify the different needs that each   project had , in order to have a solid base when determining which tools or methodologies to   apply in each case . 

 Then we converted the ideas into specific criteria , by means of brainstorming workshops , in   the specific case of a project , great ideas were obtained by gathering the whole team ,   identifying a list of ideas and then with the mind mapping we identified patterns that led us to   more creative solutions answering the question " What wows ? We performed quick tests   implementing different work methodologies such as Lean , Scrum , Agile , to identify which one   best adapted to their needs , also with tools such as Clarity , SharePoint , JIRA , among others   that were a support for task management . We also took advantage of training activities in new   methodologies such as Design Thinking to attract their interest in new ways of working . 

 Finally , we had to define What works ? Through the Learning Launch , where a table is created   with each of the assumptions of all the activities we did , workshops , brainstorming , mind   mappins , training in other methodologies and tools , which helped us identify which worked   best , which were more attractive to the teams and which obtained faster and cheaper results . 

 In this way the teams are already looking for us to support them in each of the processes and   activities they carry out to obtain good results , on time and with the least possible waste . 

 Insight & Approach 

 I have learned the importance of Design Thinking in our way of working , in the amount of   options it offers to carry out an idea to its end satisfactorily . 

 They are an excellent ally when working with such different teams and people with whom I   have to work every day , because every project has its own needs , and each person works in a   different way . 

 It gives us a focus to identify what really matters , to eliminate what does not bring value and   that generate barriers , and focus on a faster learning , collaborative and that makes us feel part   of the process , that we are a team .
