Reflection – Mind Mapping 

 Challenge 

 The organization I work for runs a week long BootCamp as the main onboarding program for all new   hires .   It is a great program packed with information and presentations .   It is designed for all employees .    One of the challenges we face is that managers feel it lacks information for them in their day to day   management tasks .   This is not well covered in the BootCamp content as it does not apply to all new hire   employees .   As part of the Human Resources team , our project is to find a way to better onboard our   new managers . 

 Selection 

 With some discussion , we explored the problem we faced and were clear the What Is of our problem .    Our goal was to look for patterns and insights that may help us see what a better onboard program   enhanced with manager specific content will look like .   We used the Mind Mapping tool in our meeting   discussion to help us achieve that . 

 Application 

 On the Idea Wall in our meeting room , we first put up a few categories of tasks that managers need to   undertake and are not covered in the current BootCamp program .   We then put sticky notes of specific   tasks under each category .   For ones that did n’t fit any category , we still put them on the wall .   Quickly   the wall was full of sticky notes with tasks that were obvious to most of us and quite a few that were not   so obvious .   Once we moved them around the categories they fell under and discussed them further , it   became clear to us that once we find an effective way of incorporating them , either through a guide   document , a video post , or a blog , they will great improve our onboarding content to the new managers   coming into the organization . 

 Insight 

 In our exercise , the Mind Mapping tool certainly helped us identify connections and patterns as we   brainstormed ideas .   It led to a more creative solution to our challenge of designing a component of   onboarding mangers that complemented our current generic BootCamp program for all new hires .   It   was an effective tool that guided us to the What If phase of our problem . 

 Approach 

 As we focused on using Mind Mapping to look for pattern and insights in our ideas , we were aware that   other tools that we did n’t use and could help us , such as using secondary research , speaking to experts   and looking at what other similar organizations have done in their approaches to onboard managers .
