VISUAL THINKING IN CORPORATE WORLD 

 Challenge and Selection 

 In the Corporate world the 9 to 5 jobs become very stressful considering the workload and deadlines   people have every day . In a world like this sometimes - meeting people to interact regarding work   becomes a task . Are there ways in which this process can be made fun ? Where interaction with   people with respect to work involves better visual communication ? 

 For creating such environment , the tool I have selected is Visualization or Visual thinking . In my field   of line that is around User experience , understanding people and their behavior is important . I work   along with engineers , developers , product architects and managers . I always use visual language as a   medium to communicate with the people I work with . Using graphics such as flow charts with boxes   and other shapes or using images to represent what the content of the side is about ; has always been   the ways I have worked around . 

 This not only helps my team mates to take a break from the monotonous way of working but also   helps them think two steps further . 

 Application 

 I always start my process with research and analysis . The data gathered are organized in pictorial   format with one word explanation of each image . I like to make the viewer get involved from the start   by making them see images to create a vibe . Later I make some ideation sketches inspired by some   reference images . I usually like to discuss all the ideas with the team to make them feel their   involvement in the process from the start . Usually in this process many more ideas are created since   the team would know what is expected and what are the limitations . Visual communication has not   only made the process more effective but also made it personalized . 

 The research to ideas is one phase of my process where employees have involved themselves and   have been creative . But it does not stop there . After ideas comes concepts , where the entire teams ’   feedbacks and suggestions are needed . Once the team selects the ideas that are closer to the project   brief , I combine the potential merging ideas and create two to three maximum concepts . I ask the   team to vote . Here I like to use medium where the entire team can access the same board , for   example ‘ The Mural ’ ( mostly digital medium used currently due to work from home policy ) . Here the   team can select the concepts each of them like by just pinning a dot above them . The most pin on   concept is selected and later , on the same board the team can discuss on final iterations of the   concept . 

 Insight and Approach 

 All this process leads to a better prototype as the involvement of the team from the start has made   the product very close to what is expected . The process is also a different approach to the corporate   employees as they feel like a part of the final product once it ’s out . The project helps provide the   employees a good view of what they are working on and how much work needs to be done to achieve   the expectations . Often , I have observed , many employees are told what to do and are given a   deadline . Many do their work as told and finish the task without having a good introduction of the 

 product they are working on or even having felt being a part of it . As much as employees do the work   for the organization the organization works for the employees too . Making them feel a part of the   product and not just the project is important . In this process there is nothing more important than   having good communication within the team . As I mentioned before visual communication opens   people and their involvement . 

 Now that I am aware visual communication opens to better involvement of people , I would use this   process in all my work to the fullest . Creating this environment is necessary not only in creative field   like design and art but also in corporate world .
