Example Reflection – Mind Mapping 

 Challenge & Selection 

 The first tool I will use is Mind Mapping to help organizing information collected and generate ideas for   the next stages in an ongoing personal project . The idea may lead to a startup company and , specially at   an early stage , brainstorming is necessary to consolidate the various subsidiary ideas that may come up .   This is my first time using design thinking tools and from what I read , I find the Mind Mapping tool very   useful as it allows to present the information in a visually brain - friendly method [ 1 ] . 

 Application 

 Following the guidelines provided by Joanna Chavez in her video lecture of Module 3 [ 2 ] , I will   start by gathering stakeholders ( about ten people ) in an open space . I will then explain the main idea   and what fits and what does not . Sticky notes will be given in order for them to write their ideas and   then group them in related boards , forming clusters . I expect several boards , each representing a   theme , will be created . As stated by Joanna Chavez , this will probably be the most challenging   part as it will be necessary to break down the several , complex , ideas into simpler ones . Nevertheless ,   this is the most gratifying process . The previously mentioned processes represent the what is step . 

 Following comes the what if step , where possible solutions must be found in order to overcome the   design challenges provided by the previous step ( what is ) . 

 Insight & Approach 

 I expect that by applying the Mind Mapping tool , a lot of insights will be clarified for future stages of the   project . As mentioned previously , this is the first design thinking tool that I will use . During the real   experience , there is a big possibility that new challenges will appear , which I must overcame . Experience   provides better knowledge so in the future I will use other design thinking tools in order to strive for   better results .
