Mind mapping a design tool – Abdul Khan 

 Challenge & Selection : 

 Mind mapping is an important tool that can be used in design thinking process .   Especially when a new   initiative or design decision to be made .    We use mind mapping to choose a Pharmaceutical product to   be launched and when to launch and where to launch .   It is important to make apt decision on what ,   when and how while launching the product .   Success factor of the product launch depends on the how   well organized and affective the product launch is being done .   Market acceptance and effectiveness of   the product .    Normally the products are launched to the market somewhere between one to two years   from the decisions are made .    Since our products are pharmaceutical products , product registration   process will take few months before we get an approval to market .    As such we also need to see the   feasibility of the product foreseeing a year ahead . 

 Application & Approach : 

 Initially a team consists of key members of Production , Marketing , Sales , Logistics & Product Manager   will have a brainstorming sessions on various potential products using mind mapping tool .   Prior to the   mind mapping session , the Product manager will give an overview of the selected products and then we   will have separate meetings on a different date , this gives time for the participants to think on the   products that were projected .    During the brainstorming session meetings , we make separate sheets for   each product to draw the mind mapping for each product name and then branch out all possible   scenarios including a SWOT ( Strength Weakness Opportunities and thread ) analysis .   Initially we wo n’t   focus much on the financial and ROI part .   However , after streamlined the best two options will be run   through the financials for a better decision make process . 

 After the financial process , a final proposal with business plan will be submitted to the CEO for final   approval .    This process normally takes between 1 to 3 months depends on the complexity of the   product .   Since our products are pharmaceutical nature the process need to be one of the fine - tuned   and meticulously planned . 

 Insights : 

 We found that mind mapping is very efficient tool and this will help us to systematically do the design   thinking .   It is easy and narrative to see the feasibility of a project proposal through mind mapping .   Though the sessions used to have heated discussion on product identification and selection .   Once it is   being selected and accepted , it is the team responsibility to work together towards the success of the   product launching .   Combined team responsibility makes the success .
