Challenge    In my last year of university , I decided to volunteer in an organization that works throughout Latin   America . This organization is distinguished by its hard work building healthy societies and   increasing opportunity through the construction of emergency housing and the execution of   programs and projects that cover needs in underserved communities . Brahma Company works in 6 different   states , and I participated with the organization in the state of Puebla . Each community in which   this organization works is assigned a team of five to six volunteers . Each volunteer in the team has   a different profile ( different degrees and mayors , and personal backgrounds ) than the other team   members , which helps with the diversity of ideas and enriches teamwork . In August 2019 , my   team and I were assigned a new community . After conducting extensive surveys and spoking with   community leaders over several visits , we identified several issues that Brahma Company could be involved   in . However , these problems had to be tackled individually and in a gradual manner .     Selection and Application   The first matter the team agreed to work on was an isolated collective of women in the community   between 50 to 70 years of age . These women felt that they were not actively participating within   their family or community and therefore felt left out . They were interested in carrying out some   social activities , but at the same time , they needed financial remuneration to support their family . 

 Choosing a social and economic activity for this group of women was a difficult decision 

 since it had to be in accordance with their interests and lifestyle . In order to decide what activity   best suited these women , my team gathered to discuss and to choose the best option . We decided   to use visualization as a tool to communicate individual ideas regarding the possible activities .   Visualization offers images to observe and understand another person 's feelings or ideas and allows   fresh concepts to emerge from our imagination .      Through visualization , ideas were represented in single words , drawings , and specific 

 hours of the day that each team member thought would be convenient for these women . The ideas   were written or drawn on post - it notes and , fixed to the wall . We then discerned which ideas we   believed were viable to carry out , akin to pattern - finding . Finally , we classified the ideas we   considered similar ; the remaining grouped ideas were included in a new survey with the option to   write comments concerning the activities . 

 We collected the data from the surveys to determine the final activity and its details . As a 

 result , we concluded that all women enjoyed knitting and making crafts , and a knitting group was   organized with committed women who felt isolated in their community . The group dynamic had a   positive response so the next step was to create a brand of accessories ( from earrings to sweaters )   made with yarn . This group met twice a week to agree on styles , new products , and assignments .   Eventually , we helped the women bring their brand to local events and markets . This activity not   only allowed these women to have a personal income and help with family costs , but they also   regained their economic independence and formed a solid group within their community with the   same interests and similar problems , helping them to feel supported . 

 Insight    Visualization was a useful tool to work through this challenge . In the first place , the team was   composed of volunteers with different profiles . This enriched the project since each team member   understood the issue in a particular way and had a different approach . Because of this , visualization   as a tool made the diverse approaches easier to comprehend ; the post - it notes with drawings , single   words , and specific hours of the day were useful so everybody could picture how a certain activity   would unfold . 

 However , after taking the course of Design Thinking for Innovation , I better- understood 

 visualization as a tool . This course made clear the importance of the technique and the adequate   methodology . Visualization is a key tool for the process of innovation . It helps to display all   possibilities in a more outright way to achieve consensus to choose the best strategy .     Approach   I believe that visualization was the right tool for this part of the project design . This tool allowed   us to communicate in a nonverbal way , which is helpful because messages can be misunderstood   during discussions with different viewpoints . The team working on this project was so diverse ,   with countless approaches that were feasible , that visualization was the most reliable tool to help   us make our decisions . 

 Nevertheless , if I had the knowledge I have now , rather than classifying the post - it notes 

 with ideas by similarity , it would have been better to create different timelines or maps to be more   empathetic with this group of women . By doing this , we could have imagined their day- to- day   more accurately . If this had been the case , we would have identified the difficulties these women   might have had , and the variety of activities and what they entailed would have decreased . This   would have helped us to start this project sooner and it would not have needed the same   adjustments that it did .
