1 . Challenge : Describe your challenge , including all relevant information . 

 a ) I am an officer for the Korean culture club at my university . We initially started off as 

 an organization who had a shared interest over popular culture : Korean dramas , K- Pop , and the entertainment industry . Over the past two years we have expanded our   club from 20 members to approximately 50 members . With each year we have   gained more people who share a similar penchant for Korean culture like we do .   However , one of the challenges we face is with the lack of native Koreans in our   club . This past year we decided to change our mission statement to encompass   traditional culture as well as popular culture . One of our biggest issues has been   cultural appropriation . Because none of our office board is Korean or has a deep   enough understanding of certain aspects of Korean culture we would like to have   someone who has a better understanding to assist us in creating better quality   meetings for our members . 

 b ) There is another Korean organization primarily for international Korean students 

 called the Korean Students Association ( KSA ) whom we would like to seek help   from ; however , whenever we try to approach them with an idea we are shut down .   We have failed to understand why and want to approach them again with a different   method . 

 2 . Selection : In your own words , briefly describe the tool you selected ( e.g. , what it is and why you 

 selected it for your challenge -- including any appropriate video lecture references ) . 

 a ) The tool I decided to use for this scenario is visualization , to achieve a shared 

 understanding of the situation among a diverse group of officer from our own board   and KSA ’s board . I also decided to use this tool because of the language barrier   between our officers and the KSA officers . I wanted to use a tool that goes beyond   using words for communication . 

 3 . Application : Describe how you applied the tool you selected to your challenge ( e.g. , what you did 

 and how the tool was applied effectively or ineffectively ) . 

 a ) To apply visualization to this situation we decided to conduct a joint group meeting 

 between our officers and KSA ’s officers . Once everyone was seated we gave a quick   introduction into our mission statement and what we stood for . Throughout the rest of   the meeting we ran through our previous presentations which contained visuals of   the highlights of each meeting such as : popular Korean events that were happening   in Dallas , images of artists holding concerts nearby , and graphics of food we were   going to have at that particular meeting . Running through each presentation created   a more holistic approach that our organization had a genuine appreciation for Korean   culture , just lacked a deeper knowledge of it due to our own individual backgrounds . 

 4 . Insight : Describe the insight you gained from applying the tool you selected to your challenge ( e.g. , 

 how an insight affected your thinking about the challenge and about design thinking more broadly ) . 

 a ) Some of the insight we gained was that there was a lot of misinterpretation to how 

 our organization functioned as a whole . Many of the KSA officers were under the   impression that our group did n’t appreciate Korean culture for all of its aspects and   assumed we only liked Korea for its image . While we explained we could n’t properly   teach certain aspects of the culture due to our lack of understanding ( and did not   want to pass that onto our members ) , we did work very hard to promote an   environment that fostered a genuine love and understanding for Korean culture . We   explained to them that we would host a few language sessions with our members .   These sessions focused on learning Hangul ( the Korean alphabet ) , and basic   greetings , something we could properly after hearing these phrases so often . In 

 addition , we would try to collaborate with the Asian Center in Dallas to take our   members to Korean festival events when possible ; but due to how little events are   hosted each year we could only do this a handful of times . Finally if there was   something we were not sure of when teaching we would do proper research   beforehand to delineate any cultural appropriation . After much explanation we   reached an agreement to have the KSA officers attend one of our meetings so that   they could see how our meetings were run . 

 5 . Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you selected 

 or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why . 

 a ) Originally during our meeting we used a lot of images to convey our points : such as 

 going through previous presentation slides which contained graphics of key points   we were going to discuss . If I was going to do this differently I would have asked our   historian to collect highlights of various photos from our meetings to gain a clearer   perspective of what happens during each meeting . I think this would have added a lot   of clarity between each group of officers .
