Visualization 

 Challenge & Selection 

 We needed to have a uniﬁed understanding among our organization team for the problem we need   to solve . I have used Visual Thinking to obtain a a general understanding of our problem before   going into the possible list of solutions . As a software company I use this tool usually with my organization team who are continuously   working to help our clients automate their businesses and processes   Using the straw man visualization technique of a problem domain with a set of questions for debate   to help the participants engage in a discussion and learn 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 . 

 Application 

 Starting by creating a straw man graphic of the problem domain . I conducting informal interviews   with 1 - 3 stakeholders who are as my main points of interest to develop the straw man graphic , The   straw man graphic is simple , using simple shapes and icons . then I will create a different type of visual , based on a high - level process ﬂow with swim lanes for   different stakeholders , Then 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 I give them two - three questions to answer , I give them approximately 20 minutes to discuss the   questions and mark up the graphic .   Then I have each group report out on their answers to those   three questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their poster . As each group reports out , I record   commonalities in the insights of each group , and then additional insights that come from the group   discussion on an additional copy of the graphic . After the session , I digitize each group ’s poster as   an artifact , create a view that combines the shared and new insights from the group discussion , and   then create a revised graphic that incorporates their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed   to as a group . 

 Insight & 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 possible root causes of their problems . starting   with a straw man initiating the conversation for them . They quickly identify where they are in the   graphic or if they are missing and can more quickly gain new insights about relationships between   key points instead of taking time to identify them . , in what areas they need to obtain data to provide   the values for the variables . I learned that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and   learning , in the future I will use the visualization 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 .
