Mind Mapping 

 Challenge 

 My consulting teammates and I , specialized in analyzing business concerns and finding the best solutions   for their problems , were assigned to a project which consisted on investigating which are the key issues   that determine the well - being of the employees in the auditing department of a multinational company ,   with the aim of pursuing the increase of level of happiness among the workforce environment . 

 The reason why we were asked to carry out this research is because the department to investigate is   recently reporting high employee stress and unsatisfaction , after suffering heavy work waves with   numerous demands concerning firm auditing after the break of the Covid-19 economic crisis . We have a   pretty short deadline to face this challenge , so we are thinking about testing all employees of the   department in one unique experiment . 

 Selection 

 Out of all design thinking tools that we could use in order to find an approach that shows us the way to   increase employee wellbeing , we have decided to use the mind mapping tool . This design thinking tool is   the most appropriate when the experiment aims at finding patterns in given data among the surveyed   people . What we want to extract with this method is a group of several personalities when thinking   about the key issues for corporate wellbeing , just as we saw in the MeYou Health Story in the Design   Thinking course . 

 Application 

 In order to apply the mind - mapping tool in an effective manner , we handed out to all employees a blank   piece of paper and told them to draw an eight - portion pizza . Each of these portions had to be filled in   with a factor that the participant considered mostly essential for his / her wellbeing among the auditing   department , out of eight factors we listed to them . This means that the employees had to write eight   factors on each of their pizzas but , in case of considering one of those elements more important than   others , that element could be written in more than one portion , according to how critical it is in   comparison to the rest . The eight factors the participants had to consider for their portions were : career   potential , salary , balance with personal life , vacation periods , training financed by the firm , transport   provision to go to the office and return to home , the provision of meal tickets and other benefits of   working at the company such as online shopping discounts . 

 After completing this task , the employees were ordered to gather in groups of six people and discuss   about why each of them had reached their conclusions about giving more importance to some factors   than others . 

 Insights 

 Once the whole process mentioned above was finished , we found out that there were interesting   results , as patterns of data existed among the selected elements . We concluded that there were   different types of employee preferences , as those that selected career potential also tended to choose   salary and training paid by the firm . These employees , therefore , could be classified as a first prototype   of worker , which are more worried about having a successful professional career , rather than other   benefits . 

 Another clear pattern was showed when observing that those who chose balance with personal life   tended to also select vacation periods and transport to go and return from the office . We could   conclude , therefore , that this type of employee worries mostly about having time to spend with their   family . Finally , there were people that selected a mix of these elements , mainly the four most chosen   factors : balance with personal life , salary , vacation periods and career potential . The elements that were   less considered among candidates were transport provision and other benefits such as shopping   discounts . 

 Approach 

 I believe that this tool was accurate for measuring what people consider important for their wellbeing in   their company , because it gave us different points of view since we drew conclusions concerning diverse   kinds of personalities . Despite this , another valid tool that could fit in this experiment is visualization ,   where pictures of a successful manager or a happy family would be shown , in order to see which result   more attractive for the candidates and conclusions would be drawn by stating the factors determining   wellbeing mentioned before , representing the opposite order of the process explained above .
