Visualization Tool 

 Challenge 

 The challenge I ’m facing is getting project stakeholders to agree on a final design of an 

 environmentally friendly car given that most of the stakeholders come from different 

 environments and they have different ideas and thought patterns . 

 Selection 

 In attempts to sensitize stakeholders about the project ideas and allow them to have a shared 

 understanding of the project design and the current problems which we are facing , I have decided 

 to implement the Tool of Visualization . The tool of visualization entails using the straw man 

 visualization of a problem domain technique which includes the use of questions to establish a 

 discussion forum which will allow the various stakeholders to share their knowledge and 

 concerns with each other in the process of defining the scope , boundaries , key elements , and 

 relationships between elements to consider when identifying key points and opportunities for 

 improvements or solutions . 

 Application 

 The application of the visualization process commenced with the creation of the straw man 

 graphic of the problem domain . In order to develop the straw man graphic I will utilize design , 

 procedural and operational documents in order to build a basic understanding of the task and 

 environment ah hand . However , if resources are not readily available then the traditional means 

 of gathering information will be utilized such as conducting interviews with a few stakeholders 

 who are actively involved in the process . 

 This Visualization Tool was used to unlock parts of our brains , to accesses our creativity which 

 we do n’t normally used in conversation in order to get a better understanding of something using 

 visual icons , pictures , diagrams etc which allowing others to get a better understanding of what 

 someone is trying to say or do . 

 For the activity , the stakeholders who are the participants will be placed in groups of five ( 5 ) 

 where they will represent different organizations and the different areas of the design process . In 

 this session each participant will be given a copy of the straw man graphic to write , draw and 

 make comments on . The session will allow for various questions to be asked such as : 1 . what 

 type of car design which should be implemented ? 2 . What kind of car features would you prefer 

 to be in cooperated into the design process ? 3 . What benefits should the car design have on the 

 environment ? And 4 . Which population should car design target ?   The duration of session will be 

 approximately 30 mins which give participants sufficient time to discuss and share knowledge on 

 the given questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their poster . 

 Further , each group will be required to report out and produce a poster and while this is being 

 conducted adequate documentation will be made on the insights of each group and from 

 additional insights from the group discussion on any additional copy of the graphic . 

 Upon completion of each groups poster will be digitized to display new insights , shared and 

 combined views which were developed during the group discussion and lastly , a Revised 

 Graphic will be established to incorporate the participants or stakeholders feedbacks and 

 proposed changes which was agreed upon in attempts to solve project issues . 

 Insight and Approach 

 From the exercise conducted with the various groups it was evident that the revised graphic was 

 important for highlighting stakeholder ’s problem which they were working to resolve . However , 

 another valuable aspect of the activity was the shared insights and learning that which occurred 

 while working in their problem space . From the graphic Stakeholders were given opportunities 

 during group discussions to share their perspectives and develop insight into the root cause of 

 their various problems and concerns . Hence , through the straw man graphic they were able to 

 identify where they are in the graphic , what they missed and they were able to gain insight 

 quicker concerning the car design , processes , target population and also variables within the 

 problem space . 

 Lastly , because I learnt that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning next time 

 around I would reapply the same Visualization tool as a starting point for various designing 

 thinking activities while using the revised graphic as a key reference and feedback during the 

 design phase of the work .
