Design Thinking Reflection – Learning Launch Tool 

 Challenge     I am a manager responsible for the program and project management practice at a   consulting company that sells professional services around the globe .     In the last few months , I have been facing a challenge to improve and reshape our current   offerings in order to increase business sales and to create a distinctive position in the   global consulting marketplace . The scope of these offerings includes mainly business   transformational programs through tech - solutions . For example , the end - to - end enterprise   software implementation .     Our team of expert tech - consultants are focus on test new ideas to confirm the key   assumptions that our consulting leaders previously recommended to our line - of - service .     Selection     In order to attend completely our challenge and to become more agile , we are ready to   use the learning launch tool of design thinking framework . In general , the learning launch   tool is a kind of experiment that tests new ideas in real business environments . The main   purpose is to get the truth to confirm or dis - confirm our key business assumptions .     Application     At the beginning , we focused on the organization of our new ideas . The consultants did a   small benchmarking to meet the solutions already offered in the market and to check the   fit - level of innovation from each ones . This tested our assumption that our competitors   are offering similar services to cover the program and project management demands .     Then , we went through workshop sessions with consultants from other areas to get new   thoughts about our traditional offerings and to understand the lessons that our   organization learned on the previous assignments . This tested our assumption that other   consulting practices at the same organization also want to continuous improve their way   to provide professional services .      Finally , we focused on the execution of different tests in some on - going programs and   projects . In this case , we encouraged the team to work in an agile management approach   to measure the impact on the performance of their routine activities . This tested our   assumption that its possible improve our work with small changes of the team ’s mind - set .     Insight     By applying the learning launch tool , we confirmed some key assumptions and dis- confirmed other ones . For us this new experiment was very rich in several aspects . 

 Normally in this type of challenge , we need to create a business plan to set the   assumptions and to define the return of investments . The possibility to discuss many   hypothesis going through the unknown breaks down some business paradigms , resulting   in a new path to test the business ideas effectively .     Until this moment , the results exceeds our initial expectations . On the other hand , we   need to know that the design - thinking framework is much more than a learning launch   application , actually is a wide universe of concepts and tools to explore and get   agreement .     Approach     I believe there are excellent tools in the design thinking that should improve and help   even more the solution of our business challenges .    One example might be a mind mapping to help an organization to looking for patterns   during a data collect and analytics .     However , for that challenge we worked on , the learning launch tool seems to be the   appropriate tool to address our goals .
