CHALLENGE 

 I work at a not - for - profit association that has been present for about seventeen years now . The aim of the   association is to bring ladies together , with a shared background to support the education of younger girls   and therefore empower them thus building the nation and contributing towards economic growth . The   organization recently set up their office where I am involved as the administrator . The association brings   together the old and younger ladies and being a younger lady myself , one of my roles in the office was to   bring in as many other younger girls on board . I decided to use visualization tool for this task . 

 SELECTION 

 Visualization as a tool is very powerful and will greatly help me communicate and break down complex   problems to my bosses at work . Visualization is about coming up with an image of how one is thinking so   that other people understand you . Working with very tough and senior bosses can be daunting in that I   am only a junior , just recently out of college . Visualization will be an innovative tool to be able to break   down my ideas to my bosses , so that they can understand and picture what I am trying to pitch to them . 

 Visualization will also help me to understand the context of my users , to be able to know how they live .   Since I am targeting to reach a vast audience of the women , I must understand how they live so that I   know how I could bring them into this noble task . 

 APPLICATION 

 I applied an aspect of visualization to this task , the exploration step . I carried out user interviews and did   questionnaires to just gain insights into how many women are aware and part of the association . The   questions were also designed to capture suggestions from the target audience on what and where they   think we can improve on ; what projects they feel they can be involved in and what we can do to have   more of them join the association . After receiving the responses after about two weeks , I went ahead to   find common themes in the data . The questions asked were both closed and open - ended questions . From   the data , I made some charts and wrote down the insights from the responses . I space - saturated the   responses on post - it notes and I have been analyzing the data in order to synthesize and find patterns . 

 INSIGHT 

 From those steps of exploration and pattern finding , I was able to note that many people have no idea of   what happens because they are not updated about the events . Many also shared that the events are   expensive for them to afford , so they had rather not take part in them . I was able to make a presentation   that I shared with my bosses , showing them that a large percentage prefer social media updates and   involvement as many are on social media . We also gained other helpful insights like decentralizing the   events to happen in different parts of the country as opposed to only the capital city , so that more people   attend . 

 This really challenged my assumptions because what I had thought was the reason for people not joining   turned out to be totally different . I thought people were not aware of its existence . I found out that they   were aware but did not feel as though they owned the association . People wanted to feel involved beyond   just monetary contributions and this will help me in my approach for designing experiences for them . 

 APPROACH 

 I will continue to use visualization tool because so far , I have gained so much from it . I will now apply the   other steps of ideation , prototyping and piloting to the already gathered insights as we look to find what   other insightful ideas that could help our organization thrive and flourish .
