 1.Challenge   The first tool I used was the tool 

 of Visualization , or Visual 

 Thinking , to achieve a shared   understanding of a problem 

 space among a diverse group of   stakeholders before attempting   to identify and define possible   solutions to the problem . I use   this approach often with our 

 customers , with a set of   questions or prompts for 

 discussion to allow a diverse   group of stakeholders to learn   from each other in the process 

 of defining the scope , 

 boundaries , key elements , and   relationships between elements 

 to consider when identifying 

 pain points and opportunities for 

 improvements or solutions . 

 Feedback     NA 

 2.Selection   I use this approach often with 

 our customers , who are 

 government agencies working to   apply technology innovations to   modernize their mission or the   delivery of their services to their 

 customer , which may be U.S.   citizens , businesses , and non- 

 citizens . I have used the 

 technique of using a straw man 

 visualization of a problem 

 domain with a set of questions 

 or prompts for discussion to 

 allow a diverse group of 

 stakeholders to learn from each   other in the process of defining 

 the scope , boundaries , key   elements , and relationships . 

 Feedback     NA 

 3.Application   I start the process by creating a 

 straw man graphic of the 

 problem domain . To develop the 

 straw man graphic , I will draw 

 from any existing material   available to understand the   environment . The existing 

 material may be operational or   procedural documents , training   materials , marketing materials ,   GAO or other auditing reports . If   materials are not available , then 

 I conduct informal interviews 

 with one - three of the 

 stakeholders who serve as my   main points of contact on the 

 initiative . I will divide the 

 stakeholders into groups of 5 - 6   participants each representing a   different organization or area of   interest . Each group receives a   poster - size copy of the straw 

 man graphic that they can write   on directly , or use sticky notes to 

 make comments . I give them 

 two - three questions to answer ,   such as : 1 ) What key elements   are missing from the graphic ? 2 )   What would you change about 

 the graphic to make it more 

 accurately reflect your problem   space ? 3 ) What key insights do   you have about the relationships 

 between the entities in your 

 problem space ? 

 Feedback     NA 

 4.Insight   What I have learned from 

 conducting this exercise with   several groups is that while the   graphic – especially the revised   graphic that incorporates their 

 feedback – is important for 

 reinforcing their understanding   of the problem they are working 

 to solve , the more valuable   aspect of the activity is the 

 shared insights and shared 

 learning that occurs while they 

 are working to define their 

 problem space 

 Feedback     NA 

 5 . Approach   The graphic gives the diverse   group of stakeholders a focal   point for discussion that allows   them to share their perspectives 

 and develop insights into 

 potential root causes of their   problems . While they could 

 create the graphic from a blank   slate in a collaborative manner ,   starting with a straw man jump   starts the conversation for them .   They can quickly identify where 

 they are in the graphic – or if 

 they are missing – and can more   quickly gain new insights about 

 relationships between key 

 entities instead of taking time to 

 identify them . They can also 

 identify variables in the problem   space – that is , it helps them to   identify what they do n’t know , in   what areas they need to obtain   information or data to provide 

 the values for the variables . 

 Since I discovered that the most 

 valuable aspect is the shared 

 insights and learning , next time I 

 would use the visualization 

 activity as a starting point for a 

 series of design thinking 

 activities . Then the revised 

 graphic that incorporates their   combined feedback can serve as   a reference tool throughout the 

 remainder of their work . 

 Feedback     NA 

 6 . Organization 

 I am a member of my 

 organization ’s Quality marketing 

 department and my / our 

 challenge is to improve the 

 workflow ( activities and projects ) 

 Visual Thinking , to achieve a   shared understanding of a 

 problem space among a diverse 

 group of stakeholders before 

 attempting to identify and define 

 possible solutions to the 

 problem
