Reflection - Mind Mapping 

 Challenge When I was in college , I was part of a consulting group which focuses on supporting NGOs . I was assigned to the group of 4 people which   consults an NGO that helps African mixed kids . This NGO holds community events each weekend for kids and parents with African roots and about 15 families engage each week . Events are always successful , they have fun but the NGO itself has serious financial problems and the NGO leader was willing to collect more donations to continue the activity . So my challenge was to solve how to raise more funds for this NGO . 

 Selection We selected a “ Mind Mapping ” tool to find the main cause of the problem and it was really effective to build up hypotheses on how to solve them . Before adopting a mind mapping tool , we conducted some interviews and collected data . We had some meetings with the leader and a financial executive , kids and parents who are involved in this activity , and   donors . We had so much information communicating with them , so the next step was to think about which information we should focus on . Mind mapping is a tool for finding coherent stories of hypotheses so it was a good tool for us after all these interviews and did n’t know what to focus on . 

 Application We lay out all the insights from the interviews on a mind mapping tool called “ mindmeister , ” which we can share and make a mind map online together .   First we made clusters with each personas , and wrote down what they said about the donor system . Second we collected the common elements of information and asked ourselves “ why this happens . ” By doing so , we could find out that although there are many fans of this NGO , like those who register on the mailing list , few people donate . Donations were done by very few people like professors and specialists but not by “ light fans . ” This conclusion united the group because the goal became clear , so in that sense , mind mapping was very effective . 

 Insight and Approach I found out that mind mapping is a strong tool for gathering , sharing your team ’s assumptions and creating a common goal . And is effective before generating ideas about how to solve them . I ’d like to use it the   next time between ‘ what is ’ and ‘ what if ’ phase , and also to use different tools when it comes to ‘ what if ’ phase . In the ‘ what if ’ phase , after using a mind mapping tool , we moved on to thinking how to improve the PRs . At that time we focused on how to make attractive potential HP and SNS they were using but I regret that we just focused on the media which this NGO already had . I did n't know the design thinking at that time and creative idea generation was lacking . Now after the course , I 'd like to focus more on how to be more creative when thinking about the solution , because the hypothesis story was clear after the mind mapping and unless this goal is clear , we could be more creative , for example using “ brainstorming '' . But overall , taking this course was a very good opportunity for reflecting on my project and my way of   problem - solving thinking , thank you !
