VISUALIZATION 

 Challenge : 

 I am in a client- based , undergraduate programme and profession in the field of design . We   deal with clients , learn about their needs , requirements and wishes and tend to work   around these things , on a day - to - day basis .   Due to lack of familiarity between the clients   and our team , often a communication gap is noticed . My team and I are unable to   comprehend what exactly the clients desire and thus find it hard to reach their expectations .   Thus , our main challenge is to reduce this communication gap , to understand our clients   better .     Selection : 

 Visualization is a common tool used in our field . We think about different possibilities in   terms of ideas , concepts , and designs for our projects , and come up with methods to   represent these on paper or digital software . But from my understanding after this course ,   we are far away from utilizing this tool to its fullest . I have chosen this tool as our team is   already familiar with it and hence would be easy to work around with . Thus , we are hoping   it will help bridge the gap between the clients and my team .     Often , either clients are unable to express what exactly they require/ need in a project or   they do not understand what our idea and solution for the project is . To enhance the   communication and understanding between our team and clients , we have started using the   different visual thinking methods taught in this course , which was implemented on both ,   our clients as well as our team .     Application :     We have started to capture our thought process and ideas through sketches and   photographs . Now , more emphasis is given on a nonverbal method of communication ,   something beyond words and languages .     The first method we implemented was ideation and sketching . This helps all , understand   the context of the work/ projects . All the different thought processes , of different people in   the team was put up on paper . This helped us sort out similar ideas and come up with a   common solution , something that everyone agreed to . Any confusion between my   teammates was sorted out by explaining our views in the form of diagrams and sketches .     We also encouraged our clients to use this method to express their requirements . Since all   can not sketch well , we suggested the groups ( clients and teammates ) to use something as   basic as shapes , forms , and stick figures . The sketches were mainly used to understand   each other ’s thoughts in- order to come up with a solution that suited everyone . 

 Prototyping is another method that my group used . The ideas that were finalised after the   ideation and sketching processes were now brought alive through prototyping . We made   small scale models , both digital and real , and showed the same to our clients .      Insight :     Visualisation proved to be a powerful and efficient tool to clear creative blocks and reduce   the communication gap .      Ideation and sketching allowed my team to understand each other ’s ideas more clearly as   sketches gave a better image of how and what a person was thinking . The same aids   allowed clients to represent their requirements on paper . Having a visual example of their   requirements helped us to understand their needs better .      Prototyping gave my team and clients first - hand experience of the finalised ideas . We could   now see our ideas come alive on paper / digital media . It helped to give a real form to our   thought processes . Prototype models also helped the clients to know what they could   expect form our team and hence reduced their doubts and uncertainty .     Approach :     Our overall response and understanding of clients , situations , has significantly improved   after we have relied on the visualization tool . It not only helped to reduce the   communication gap with our clients but also , improved the understanding within my team .     We would like to continue exploring this tool as it has proven to be helpful in numerous   ways . It is an appropriate tool for various parts of the design process from conceptualisation   of ideas to client interaction to final production . It has helped us overcome the lack of clear   communication and understanding within the team as well as with clients .      Even though our field is familiar with this tool , this course let us explore it to greater depths .   Now we can take this tool beyond our workspace and allow clients to utilize it and help us   overcome multiple challenges .
