Mind Mapping 

 Challenge : An alternative energy company that sells and installs solar panels decides to build a   solar farm of its own . The company decided to use a group of managers to plan , execute and   manage the project . The challenge is that each manager is head strong and has their own   approach of how this project should be planned , executed and managed . To get each manager on   the same page gives the project leader , myself , the heaviest task of all . The project is based on   building a solar farm . The company expects to operate solely on this source of energy . The   project leader ( me ) needs to find an inclusive way forward to have a synchronized flow from the   beginning which starts with the planning to completion of the project . 

 Selection : The tool I have decided to use for this challenge is Mind mapping . Mind mapping is a   method used for numerous problem solving . It allows an individual or a group to identify , link ,   breakdown , analyze and create solutions to a matter of interest . This method was chosen because   I can relate to this method in a real life basis in my department and it can be seen as the most   applicable method to creatively combine ideas for numerous persons . According to the last   lecture video in week 3 , mind mapping is a creative way to put together your thoughts . 

 Application : Mind mapping was used to brainstorm all ideas stemming from the common   challenge of completing the solar farm project . Each manager was asked to state their ideas on   the plan , the execution and the management of the project . Three mind maps were created , one   for the proposed plan , one for the execution and one for management of the project . Then   through much discussion and amendments using the mind maps a unanimous way forward was   decided upon . 

 Insight : This method enabled me to see how a mind map can be used to synchronize more than   one approaches to overcome a challenge . It showed me how presenting ideas visually can make   decision making easier . 

 Approach : One of the things I would have done differently was to get all the managers to   initially create their own mind map and then to combine each as a team , instead of using this   approach as a reactive one . I would have preferred to use it as a proactive approach . Hence it   would have eliminated the time wasted on trying to get everyone on the same page .
