Mind Mapping 

 1 .   Challenge : Describe your challenge , including all relevant information . 

 We had started a new project several months ago . We are developing a new Core Data   Base system for all transactions of one investment bank . 

 After we have completed the first part of the project and presented a Demo . Shortly after   demo our boss called up a meeting and said : “ Listen guys ! We are spending a huge sum   of money on this project and I am not happy how it goes ” .   It was like a bolt out of the   blue . No one expected it because everything was on schedule as planned before . So we   said : “ But boss , what is wrong ? We are doing as we expected ? ” He shrugged and said   that we are building a new system with latest technologies and outstanding functionality   like we never had before . He also said that he considers us all creative so he is expecting   new ideas and have n’t seen any yet . 

 2 . Selection : In your own words , briefly describe the tool you selected ( e.g. , 

 what it is and why you selected it for your challenge -- including any   appropriate video lecture references ) . 

 Mind mapping tool is basically used for getting new insights and patterns for idea   generation process in what if stage . To accomplish this you must organize and present   your data in a way that lets hidden patterns and implications emerge . The general idea is   to present all important information for your peers visibly and at once and then look for   patterns and insights with your team . 

 Given the request from my boss I said to myself “ Why do n’t you try this Mind Mapping   tool ? Run a workshop with it , get new insights and then get new ideas ” .   Said and done . 

 3 . Application : Describe how you applied the tool you selected to your 

 challenge ( e.g. , what you did and how the tool was applied effectively or   ineffectively ) . 

 We had decided to run a workshop . And had invited about 30 colleagues from other   project teams . 

 We made several posters with information about new Transactions Core Data Base , its   capabilities and about technology we were using . 

 Then we run a presentation about Mind Mapping tool and about our workshop ’s goals .   After that we gave 30 minutes to our participants to study posters on their own . And we   asked them to write on the sticky notes any new ideas inspired by posters or new   information . 

 Then we asked participants to split into teams , consisting of five people each and asked   them to share the ideas inside their team and rearrange them in groups or theme clusters .   And gave 20 minutes for that . 

 After that we asked teams to name their themes , write them on a whiteboard and add   sticky notes that are related to that theme . It took another 20 minutes . 

 On the next step we asked all teams to look for insight statements related to the themes   and then look for meaningful connections between those statements . 

 Finally we ask all participants main questions for generating the design criteria : “ if   anything were possible , what criteria would a new design meet ? ” 

 And it was a success . We have got 25 new ideas for possible solutions for our challenge . 

 4 . Insight : Describe the insight you gained from applying the tool you selected 

 to your challenge ( e.g. , how an insight affected your thinking about the   challenge and about design thinking more broadly ) . 

 I have learned from this experience that working in a big team gives much more results   that I have expected and design thinking tools help to organize this process well . 

 I think that we can get unlimited number of ideas and we could use this tool more and   more times to get new ones .   We just need more information and time . This approach   helps to remove all constraint and get new ideas for your challenge . 

 5 . Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the 

 same tool you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why . 

 Next time I will surely use this tool . I really like it and I really like results . 

 And now I understand that we have to prepare informations more carefully . We have to   spend more time arranging it in posters because sometimes we were used to explain some   data and concepts and were not always precise . I mean that when you are explaining a   concept or a batch of info to the group of people it can be understood differently . Visual   information like images gives a more unified insight .
