Design Tool – Visualization 

 Challenge and Selection 

 The main challenges we faced with the implementation of our online purchase and delivery system of   products to some areas in our country were the educating the relevant stakeholders ( necessary staff   etc ) about this new service and efficiency in the delivery of the product . 

 My selection of a design tool was Visualization . 

 Visualization is about visual thinking and using images . It pushes us beyond using words or language   alone . If you present your idea by drawing a picture of it , you reduce the possibility of unmatched   mental models . A simple sketch can tell more about an idea in a few minutes Adding elements to   drawings or simply discussing the sketches helps to build on each other ’s ideas drawing of images can   benefit our understanding of how the idea unfolds through different stages of the service provided   particularly when generating new ideas 

 Application 

 We recently introduced Online Shopping from our website as part of our modernization of the company .   So we used this Visualization tool to inform , get ideas and input from team members and other   stakeholders and try to test the system and procedure a customer goes through from time of purchasing   items in cart to the time of delivery of the products . 

 We used a dry erase white board to draw stick figures , simple images and labels to create a basic   diagram with the steps in this process . Each step also gives a few points on the team members involved   and the average time he / she would take . 

 This outlined in very simple terms with the aid of the pictures the system we came up with and was easy   to engage all stakeholders since they are from various backgrounds . 

 Insights 

 A lot of insight was gained after this process . For example , the timing for each stage in our   provision of the service was updated . Insight was also achieved from the number of   stakeholders involved through external companies and back up plans were put in place for pop   up challenges . 

 Approach 

 This design tool helped us in putting out and sharing ideas for this service , however during the   second phase we would try to incorporate some other tools like storytelling so that   stakeholders / customers can be more emotionally connected to the service .
