 Challenge & Selection      In order to achieve a common understanding among project stakeholders , and before attempting   to identify the project delivery problem and alternative possible solutions , I select the Visualization   tool . I started using this approach with our ultimate proponents ( customers ) , who are project   owners ( customers ) to modernize delivery of projects . By focusing on sketches and models ,   diverse teams contributed to build a visual communication model . With this challenge in mind , the   problem is what aspects of communication within the innovation process need visualization in   order to improve the overall project . Using design processes , different activities are being   introduced in the main process . The correlation of these activities to visualization has to be   clarified . 

 Application 

 We   started   the   process   by   graphing   the   problem   environment ,   using   existing 

 operational / procedural materials , operator training materials , marketing materials , and other   historical reports . Since the collected data is insufficient , we conducted informal interviews with   few managers who are the main points of contact in this study . 

 To complete the graphical representation , the team used Visio templates to identify in - company   partners and supply chain vendors to identify influential government organizations and other   advocacy groups that constrained the project development . We used simple shapes and icons   available in Visio to create a different type of inter - relations between stakeholders . 

 We segregated the contributing teams into small groups based on interests / influence on the   project , where each group received a large poster copy of the built graphic model . The groups     used sticky notes to make comments . The basic underlaying Research Questions to answer were ;   1 ) What key elements are missing from the model ? 2 ) What would you change about the model   to make it reflect your understanding of the solution ? 3 ) What key insights do you have about the   relationships between the entities and the project delivery ?

 The group discussion took more than 30 minutes to answer the questions and mark up the graphic   model . Then each group report out their findings to the three questions directly on their poster .   We recorded shared insights between groups , and additional insights that come from the group   discussion on differences on model understanding . After the session , we digitized each group ’s   poster using tablets , created a view that combines the shared and new insights from the group   discussion , and then revised graphic model to incorporate the stakeholders ’ feedback . 

 Insight & Approach 

 We learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that graphic illustrative models   can be used to reinforce the common understanding of the project delivery problem the   stakeholders are facing .   We also understood that the cognitive mindset demanded to solve the   problem differs from that required when searching for opportunities in creating something   completely new . This emphasizes the importance of design thinking , using tools and methods for   conducting human centered activity , empathy , and intuition along with the use of visualization . 

 The current challenge is to provide designers with a wider range of methods and tools to support   specific activities within the design process and to improve its overall coordination . It is uncertain   whether problem - solving alone can be the tool for developing simple services , as we are less   open to the variety of opportunities that arise in the process . 

 By focusing on the creative process and the use of sketches or models , this study explored the   possibility to develop tools and methods for conducting projects in a more efficient , effective way . 

 As a conclusion , there is a need to develop and implement new methods and tools that will support   and strengthen organizations to generate new innovative ideas and develop them resulting into   improved processes .
