Example Reflection – Visualization 

 Challenge     In the organization I work in , groups are creating software for internal and external clients but   struggle when coming up with a name for their products . They recognize that even though the   software is great , the name is crucial to the success of the product . Too difficult of a name and   people will not remember it . Too simple of a name and people forget it because it ’s too generic   or does n’t explain what the product actually does .       Selection     The tool I selected is Visualization . I myself am a very visual learner and I feel it helps a group to   be able to physically see combinations and relations between words , images , etc .      Application     Visualization does not have to be a picture , drawing or video . Just writing something down so   everyone in the group can see it is extremely helpful . To help the group create a name for their   product , I first had them do a walkthrough of the product itself . While doing the walkthrough , I   wrote on the wall , key aspects that were focal points for the product . Once the product   walkthrough was finished , I had the team create a persona of who will be using this product .   This way the whole group can get a sense of empathy for the people who will be utilizing this   tool on a daily basis . I wrote all of the characteristics on the board , so people can the traits of   the user base .     My next step in the process is to show the group different naming trends in today ’s market . I   write all the different examples on the wall , so everyone can see the company ’s names . This   helps the teams to think of different ideas such as combining words , adding -ify to a word or   misspelling a word on purpose . It ’s easy to tell the group all the different naming options but   it ’s takes their idea creation to the next level when they can see what companies are doing .      Finally , I hand each person in the group a pad of sticky notes and pens . On the wall I create 2   columns , 1 for words and the other for names . I tell the team , based on all the information they   heard about the product , user base and naming conventions , write down whatever words or   names come to them . I tell them to stick the notes on the wall in their appropriate section once   they feel they have a good amount . Once this section of the process is completed , I go to the   wall and start moving the notes into clouds of similar words and names . When the word clouds   are created , I ask the group what words and names they like best and we start to move the   notes around to create different name options . I also write synonyms of some words and stick   them on the wall . 

 By creating the word clouds and putting the names they come up with on the board for   everyone to see , it allows the group to visualize different word combinations or variations of   words . It ’s one thing to yell out names to one another but it ’s a whole other level to let people   look at the words and digest them .      Insight & Approach     This application to the challenge actually came from a challenge that was done to name a   different product but did n't have all the visualization and structure . The group wrote words and   names down , but the cloud was full of everything all together . It was a little confusing and   people did n’t know where to look . Design Thinking always amazes me when put into practice . I   say that because to me it just makes sense , but to others they think it ’s unnecessary or a game   until they say or do something creative that they may not have thought of before . Maybe the   name the group came up with would have been thought of eventually by a team member , but   how long would that have taken ? Could be a day , week , month , who knows . But , by using the   Design Thinking process and letting the group visualize the data , in this case words , the group is   more likely to think of a name faster and easier than they may have previously thought was   possible .      In the future when doing a challenge like this , I may not have the group write full names down . I   may have them focus solely on writing words and then move to names after if they have   additional thoughts . Visualization is an incredible tool because it allows for combined learning .   Each member of the team is learning and going through the process together . For this   challenge , as each person puts their notes on the wall , their divulging their information or idea   to the group , putting everyone on the same page . I feel this is a powerful gesture in trust , team   building and idea creation . Not only will this help teams create a name for this challenge , but it   will also make them connect better for future challenges .
