Visualization 

 Challenge & Selection 

 Recently I happened to be at a ‘ formal ’ meeting seated around a table trying to   verbalize a problem and develop a concept . 30 minutes into the meeting   someone had the courage to break the formality and started to draw on a   piece of paper . What happened next did n’t surprise me . It ’s not the art that   mattered , but the surfacing of the problem , conceptualizing ideas and gaining   the engagement to shape it better .Visualization is a core component of the   way that we communicate , whether we 're aware of it or not . When we ’re   dealing with very complex problems , we ’re enacting a different kind of   problem solving that has to bring in more than just logic . Visualization is   really important for the process of Design Thinking because it 's actually a way   of unlocking a different part of our brain . It allows me to think in a non - verbal   way and access parts of our brain , our creativity . Most design thinkers call   visualization as “ the mother of all design tools ” , because they are used in   every stage of the design thinking process . 

 Application 

 Visualization is equal parts listening , thinking and drawing . Listening is the input ,   thinking is the processing and drawing is the output . These three skills work   together equally in understanding complexity , visualizing outcomes to create new   possibilities . 

 It 's really   important to be able to understand the way that you communicate   with people . The primary tools for thinking visually are really just mastering   some basic elements of imagining people , spaces , situations and actions or   movements . It 's very easy to create a simple diagram and most anyone can   draw a stick figure , a circle , a square , or an arrow . Those are the basic building   blocks of creating a   Visualization . We can unlock the power to think   differently by doodling . Alicia Diane Durand ’s Discovery Doodles - The   complete series is a good starting point if you are in search of confidence and 

 want to learn basic visual elements . I try to practice with and learn from my   three little girls Khairah   ( 7 ) , Safiyah   ( 4 ) and Hannah ( 2 ) . The kids doodle   naturally not afraid of judgement . I am not a Picasso . I might not pass the high- school ‘ arts ’ exam even if return to it once again . 

 The world will always need people who can see the bigger picture - those who   listen , who find patterns , and make connections . The world around us is   complex and needs us to strengthen our ability capture and organize ideas .   We need more clarity . We need more shared understanding . We need more   simplicity . The more likely you are to achieve a sense of agreement and   consensus with people , the more you are likely to draw out conversation . In   an   environment where your ability to get things done and to solve problems   is dependent on other people being able to understand you and align their   ideas with yours . 

 Insight & Approach 

 I think that people will find that once they start getting in the habit of doing   that , you quickly see how the rest of the room responds to you when you get   up and you start drawing . This can be a little intimidating at first for some . 

 When you get to concept development , Visualization becomes incredibly   useful . Your brain is creating pictures of something that does n't yet exist . It 's   creating pictures of something that will soon be . As we move forward into   prototyping , we get much more detailed in the way that we start to visualize .   Then we create very complex diagrams or maps of how we think the customer   experience is going to work ideally . Pictures and images enable us to not only   help people understand what it is we 're trying to do but to help persuade   them in the worthiness of that particular idea or the strength of that concept .
