Reflection Visualisation 

 Challenge and Selection 

 I am a high school student and I work on a lot of group projects . Recently , I took part in a group project whose goal was to finalise a strategy for investing . Obviously , investing is a very complicated sector and requires thorough analysis and everyone ’s investing style differs . As the group lead , the first tool I used to solve this problem of differing opinions was visualisation . A visual representation of each of our methods and knowledge is the best way to identify the common elements , unique elements and damaging elements . Everybody represented their strategies through Venn Diagrams . 

 Application 

 I asked each of my team members to make a Venn Diagram for each element of their strategies . Elements of strategies can be represented by words and most strategies have a variety of common words meaning common elements . The strategies can be developed entirely from scratch or be taken from existing strategies . 

 For the activity , I gave my team members each a piece of paper and colour pencils . This way they could highlight different parts of their strategies . I asked them simple questions that their strategies should follow . 1 ) Is the strategy for the long term or short term ? 2 ) Does this strategy involve a lot of risk , if so how do we mitigate it or compensate for it ? 3)Why should this strategy be chosen , as in , how much profit do you expect from this strategy ? With these basic questions my teammates started drawing their venn diagrams for their respective strategies showing different aspects of their strategy with different colours . 

 The Venn Diagrams are powerful tools to understand and portray information . In his 1977 book , Exploratory Data Analysis , John W. Tukey writes “ the greatest value of a picture is when it forces us to notice what we never expected to see ” . These diagrams helped us see the flaws in our strategies and the advantages of others . It also helped us see how other aspects of a strategy can be used to develop our own . Our final goal was to make one final strategy . 

 Insight and Approach After aligning all our strategies and looking at the intersection of the venn diagrams we made a list of common elements . Then we analysed a company based on our strategy to check how accurately it could analyse the company ’s losses or profits . Using deviation graphs we analysed how our predictions matched that of the real company ’s graph . As expected , since we combined all our strategies and took the best parts of them , our strategy was more accurate than each of ours could ever be . 

 It is amazing how visual representation can explain the most complicated things easily . I have used visual tools before and they have never failed to deliver . It can help bridge many gaps in communication or just in general visual representation is the best way to depict information . It has also helped me understand team coordination .
