Week 5 Mind Mapping 

 Challenge 

 While doing this course of “ Designing Thinking for Innovation ” the topic that stood 

 out to me was Mind Mapping .   Mind Mapping is a new concept for me . I think 

 that ’s one of the reasons that it stood out to me . I currently work for dialysis clinic 

 as a social worker . I ’ve have been doing dialysis social worker for about 3 years 

 now . I ’ve worked for two different companies during that period . In dialysis the 

 business I ’ve noticed that it is hard to get people to think outside of the box . And 

 things tend not to be very efficient when it comes to completing task .   Concepts 

 such as Mind Mapping are the type of ideas concepts that my work needs in 

 place to help grow to its full potential . We talk about growth all the time but 

 there ’s no real innovation to achieve any of our goals . 

 Selections 

 As stated before I do n’t think my company thinks too much outside of box . I think 

 is safe to say that have no vision . I believe that mind mapping will help develop 

 some type of vision for us . Mind Mapping will us a clear visual of what our plan is 

 to help grow and best possible company . Showing the team a clear visual of the 

 hierarchical and relationships among pieces of the whole should only benefit the 

 team . Hopefully this can get individuals out their “ that ’s not my job ” type of 

 mindset . My main goal is to help other ’s see the bigger picture . 

 Application 

 Research states that   using mind mapping increased their productivity by 25 % . If 

 that ’s not convincing enough , a different study showed that it also increases the 

 pace of work to 44 % . Known for improving collaboration among professionals , 

 mind mapping platforms can be used as an alternative to traditional presentation 

 building tools such as PowerPoint .   Which is something that we use often within 

 my company .   PowerPoint to me is such uninspiring thing to me . So wanted to 

 get my company to start using different mind mapping apps and soft where . 

 These tools can help us create engaging and informative mind maps that you 

 can easily share with employees and colleagues alike . 

 In practice I wanted to improve our intake and enrollment process . This one of 

 the biggest issues we have . There have many breakdowns in this process past . It 

 definitely something I want to correct because correcting this now will make our 

 lives easier moving forward . So I basically took things into my own hands and 

 created Mind Map for the intake process .   I spent about 3 days looking at the 

 currently process and analyzing the flaws .   I then download a mind map program 

 and outlined the old and new process . I used both processes to compare and 

 contrast the old breakdowns and new improvements . 

 Insight / Approach 

 I was quit surprised of the how the team reposed to the suggestion that pitched . I 

 think what help the process is having that visual to where they could see 

 everything I was talking about . I wonder if I different approach how would have 

 things been . Because I ’ve seen thing first hand that most people do like change . I 

 think having people see that process step by step was major factor has to why it 

 worked so well . I think the intonation that was used was the key .
