Visualization 

 Challenge      The first tool I used was the tool of Visualization , to achieve a shared   understanding of a problem space among a diverse group of stakeholders before   attempting to identify and define possible solutions to the problem . I use this   approach often with our customers , who are government agencies working to   apply technology innovations to modernize their mission or the delivery of their   services to their customer , businesses , and non - citizens . I have used the technique   of using a straw man visualization of a problem domain with a set of questions or   prompts for discussion to allow a diverse group of stakeholders to learn from each   other in the process of defining the scope , boundaries , key elements , and   relationships between elements to consider when identifying pain points and   opportunities for improvements or solutions .     Application     I start the process by creating a straw man graphic of the problem domain . To   develop the straw man graphic , I will draw from any existing material available to   understand the environment . The existing material may be operational or   procedural documents , training materials , marketing materials . If materials are not   available , then I conduct informal interviews with one - three of the stakeholders   who serve as my main points of contact on the initiative .     For the activity , I will divide the stakeholders into groups of 5 - 6 participants each   representing a different organization or area of interest . Each group receives a   poster - size copy of the straw man graphic that they can write on directly , or use   sticky notes to make comments . I give them two - three questions to answer , I give   them approximately 15 minutes to discuss the questions and mark up the graphic .   Then I have each group report out on their answers to those three questions while   pointing to the mark - ups on their poster . As each group reports out , I record   commonalities in the insights of each group , and then additional insights that come   from the group discussion on an additional copy of the graphic . After the session , I   digitize each group ’s poster as an artifact , create a view that combines the shared   and new insights from the group discussion , and then create a revised graphic that   incorporates their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group . 

 Insight & Approach      I have learned from conducting this activity with several groups is that while the   graphic – especially the revised graphic that incorporates their feedback – is   important for reinforcing their understanding of the problem they are working to   solve , the more valuable aspect of the activity is the shared insights and shared   learning that occurs while they are working to define their problem space . The   graphic gives the diverse group of stakeholders a focal point for discussion that   allows them to share their perspectives and develop insights into potential root   causes of their problems . While they could create the graphic from a blank slate in a   collaborative manner , starting with a straw man jump starts the conversation for   them . They can quickly identify where they are in the graphic – or if they are   missing – and can more quickly gain new insights about relationships between key   entities instead of taking time to identify them . They can also identify variables in   the problem space – that is , it helps them to identify what they do n’t know , in what   areas they need to obtain information or data to provide the values for the variables .     Since I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and   learning , next time I would use the visualization activity as a starting point for a   series of design thinking activities . Then the revised graphic that incorporates their   combined feedback can serve as a reference tool throughout the remainder of their   work .

EMAIL - A student’s email address.
USERNAME - A student's username on any platform.
ID_NUM - A number or sequence of characters that could be used to identify a student, such as a student ID or a social security number.
PHONE_NUM - A phone number associated with a student.
URL_PERSONAL - A URL that might be used to identify a student.
STREET_ADDRESS - A full or partial street address that is associated with the student, such as their home address.
