Challenge 

 When discussing a complex topic , for example , a process which involve cross functions   department , a new product design , a new lab setting , etc , it ’s quite hard to get all participants full   attention , and catch everyone ’s key opinion , if we only sit in a meeting room and just talk in the   air . 

 The meeting efficiency is quite low , and everyone feel frustrated and tired after a long   discussion . The good ideas are missing or mis - understanding . 

 Selection : 

 Visualization tool is selected in my discussion of MAE ( Machinery and Equipment ) planning   process . The process is related with a lot of stakeholders from different departments , and has   several milestones to achieve . With drawing diagrams and the workflow on whiteboard , I assume   participants can be more engaged in the discussion and open - minded to raise their questions or   opinions . 

 Application : 

 I invited 10 participants from different departments to a meeting room with white board . Firstly ,   I sketched a simple diagram of the current process and marked the open points we have due the   new organization set - up . Then I asked the participants to raise their ideas with explanation by   drawing . In the beginning , there were storming ideas which stands for different perspective . But   everyone could catch the point quickly because of the visible diagram . In the end , we worked out   a clear diagram which show the whole MAE planning process . Every stakeholder ’s RASIC is   also shown clearly diagram . The meeting is quite efficient , we print the diagram ( thanks to the   technology , our white board is directly linked with a printer ) and attach this as a meeting minutes   and agreement . 

 Insight : 

 The first insight of using visualization is that this tool increased discussion efficiency of a   complex problem . People are more engaged and motivated to express their ideas when drawing   on the white board . Visualization makes things more clear for other people to understand your   point . 

 Secondly , it moves “ mysteries ” forward . We are easily to be blocked by a complex topic and   afraid to take a step . Visualization tool gives us time to understand the problem . We can work   out the possibilities before having a perfect solution . 

 Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you   selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why . 

 I will apply the visualization tool more in my future work . Not only the meetings of a specific   problem , but also a larger workshop like business strategy . I believe if we use visualization tool 

 for a strategy workshop , the output is more visible . Other employees who did n’t join the   management workshop could understand the strategy better .
