Mind Mapping ( Module 3 ) 

 Challenge & Selection 

 The first tool I used was the tool of mind mapping and visual thinking . To understand a problem   concerning many stakeholders within a given sector . This was done to explore , identify and redefine the   problem areas and its solutions . Mind mapping is a tool I use often with students , who are at   undergraduate and post graduate studies who apply design and technology to solve their problems in   day to day assignments . Mind mapping has been used here to map out all the elements related to the   customer . This was done so that I can find relationships between the different elements on the mind   maps including problems and possible solutions . 

 Application 

 I started the process by putting the main topic of discussion in the center of the paper . As the   discussions with many stakeholders started to initiate , we started to add elements to the mind map .   This helped us to keep tract on the ideas which has been discussed . If the ideas repeated , we gave them   priority . The application was to find an ideal customer in each set of situations . We started discussion of   customer behaviors and their daily activities which we placed a photograph of a board as a part of mind   map . Then we started adding connections which were not very apparent at the start but started to revel   itself once the mind map has been create . 

 Insight & Approach 

 I learned a lot from conducting this activity with several stakeholders including our team . The   photographs were used to enhance the visual thinking and visualization so that we know and   understand the customer behavior . The written and drawn maps were unbelievably valuable as it was   quick and in the form of discussions they came out in a brilliant way . The very first step ( what is ) was to   identify facts , elements , and problems . Once we had established the problems then we started using the   design research ( What if ) to Analyse the customers problems to propose solutions . Then we planned a   small prototype test implement in one the retails in the commercial capital . 

 Conclusion 

 Design thinking can be applied to any level of problems be it a system , service , or a product . It can bring   out the deeper issues which a mere data can not solve . Many managers are not willing to invest on   design thinking as at the start design thinking tends to be ambiguous . But none the less the results   which come are incredibly accurate . The solutions are very human centered which is the right way to   solve problems . What Is , What if , What wows and what works approach has revealed a lot to me . Will   look forward to use this amazing process and its tools in near future .
