Reflection Assignment – Mind mapping 

 Challenge 

 As part of an emerging event management start - up , each project provided us with a new learning   experience . As part of the first project , we were to organize friendship day event for children in a   reputed apartment space . With this project , we realised numerous mistakes we had committed during   the planning phase of the project . Our choice of colours , layout of the organized event , games selected   were not feasible as per the layout of the apartment , which in turn led to onsite change of plan and   ultimately ended up being an unpleasant experience for the guests . 

 Selection 

 Mind mapping method was opted to optimise our planning phase of our events . Considering that each   event is different and could involve numerous constraints , we wanted to develop categories and   prepare a standard checklist to ensure the client needs are well captured while optimizing our efforts   for organizing the event . 

 Application 

 A primary research was conducted to identify the basic needs for each category of events , such as ,   weddings , birthday celebrations , etc . , These inputs were then gathered and displayed on a board . The   idea was to identify any linkages and patterns in specific clusters of clients so we could achieve certain   degree of optimization on our efforts for certain events . The sticky notes gathered were grouped in   clusters such as , pink decoration were preferred for girls birthday celebrations , bachelorette parties   and baby showers . Hence , all these events were put into the cluster of pink decorations . This way we   could identify common linkages to the common resources that may be required . 

 Insight 

 One of the major advantage of using mind mapping was the optimum utilization of our resources   thereby cutting down cost drastically . The clusters also provided insights on common characteristics   shared with specific events that in turn helped us in providing standard set of options for certain   events and the customer could choose add - on services over and above the standard service . This way   we optimized man - hours required for a specific job by standardizing the cluster with common   characteristics and by having specialized human resources . 

 Approach 

 Having understood other design thinking tools , I look forward to apply learning launch for specific   corporate events that come from specific industries .
