Challenge 

 The tool I use most in our consultancy projects is mind mapping . It helps us find 

 patterns and common traits of the data we analyze , and eventualy create 

 solutions or identify possible issues to be solved . 

 Selection 

 We   use   this   approach   especially   in   projects   that   aim   at   innovating 

 products / services by creating or   improving existing ones . In the first stage of the 

 project , we have to analyse large quantity of data regarding our customer , 

 industry trends and facts etc . We use Mind Mapping in order to sort out the data 

 and establish sets of patterns that would allow us to create hypothesis regarding 

 the project ’s scope and directions . 

 Application 

 Firstly , we gather all the quantitative and qualitative data we have , such as 

 customer journey map , personas , value chain , industry key trends etc .   and have 

 a meeting with the team members ( each with different responsabilities ) . We put 

 together all the data and analyze it : each member assesses it and creates 

 patterns and themes through his / her own perspectives . 

 Secondly , we map all our insights and have each member create clusters of 

 themes   by putting together elements she / he considers that are related . The main 

 questions each one of us must answer when mapping its patterns is „ What is 

 related to what ? ” , „ In which way ? ” , and „ Why do we think that ? ” . 

 Thirdly , we have long debates on how our insights relate to each other and create 

 a list of common points that need to be taken into consideration , transforming it 

 eventually into criterias of our product / service innovation . 

 Insight 

 Using the mind mapping tool , we manage to have a broad perspective of our 

 project and create new ideas that at a first look , would seem to be out of the 

 project ’s scope , but that actually help us develop a deeper level of understanding 

 about our clients ’ needs and issues .   Through this methodology we discover new 

 perspectives that helps us generate   „ uncommun ” ideas and solutions . 

 Approach 

 Next time I would invite into our discussion group , persons that are not related to 

 the project ,   outsiders that would make questions and comments about our ways 

 of seeing things and methods we use in analyzing the project , clearing out at early 

 stages any preconceived idea we might have .
