Challenge
As a Finance Lead for Logistics and Subsea team that is responsible for managing the strategy of delivering people from the shore to oil platforms in the sea . In the past the strategy involved using helicopters and boats . We had both helicopters and boats in our fleet that was not too efficient and involved very high cost . We had a task to come up with the strategy that will minimize the cost of transfer and maximize the comfort for employees . We had 2 month to come up with the solution that we then had to justify .
Selection
Our team has already gone through several design thinking activities / tools , so we are ready to try the learning launch tool . Broadly speaking , the learning launch is an experiment meant to quickly test an idea and prototype .
Application
We had a brainstorming session where people from different relevant teams gathered to come up with options . One option was to use helicopters only as a transport strategy . Another one was to used a mixed approach that we have now but slightly optimized . 3rd option was to buy new fast crew boats that will deliver employees to the platforms quicker due to faster speed . We used scrum sessions to test all the ideas . We actually tested each one of those strategies for a week on one of our platforms and asked employees to comment on their experience . So in total we had 3 learning launches to test each of the approach . We were able to test the cost of each approach as well .
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool , we have made a small real life experiment and asked our employees ( clients ) for feedback . We were able to assess the pros and cons of each approach .
Approach
Our team reviewed the insights gained from all three launches and helped to come up with final solution . Final solution incorporated learnings from previous launches . We were able to improve the experience of our employees as well as to decrease the cost of transfer .

Challenge & Selection I have selected this tool since I used it while teaching electromagnetic fields subject . In this subject all things are imaginary . It is very difficult for students to understand the electromagnetic waves their behaviour and travel through air . There are different co - ordinate systems Cartesian , cylindrical and spherical . To understand these systems with just imagination is out of scope . Students do n’t know 3D views . Ray travel etc . With visualization technique students are able to understand in a better way . This is the ice breaking in this subject . Application I have started to find the solution for this . I talked and discussed with senior prof . about this . Then an idea came in mind to prepare models of these co - ordinate systems . With this students really enjoyed learning . To prepare a model I have started searching in the market . Searched if anybody has done this earlier . But I found nothing . I brought cylinder shape tiffin , cycle spokes as an axis , one cardboard to show an axis . Similarly for spherical co - ordinate system I purchased a big ball . Prepared a cone from soft board . In the same way I have started discussion with students for selecting a project . Brain storming of an idea , preparing drawing on piece of paper and then converting it into a model before actual implementation . Thus students are able to check whether the idea is implementable or not . Any system to understand better its good practice to visualize it and then implement it . May be we have to develop the model many times till it gives correct result . For the activity , a class is divided into a group of 3 students . Then certain areas are given to them . On these areas as per their choice they have to select 3 topics . Prepare a drawing of this idea on a piece of paper . After drawing all the ideas on paper they will get clear picture of viable idea . Then one of the idea is selected and finalized . A poster is drawn on big paper . Next step is to list the material required for preparing a model . Material is purchased from market . Then a model is prepared . If required objective is satisfied then actual implementation has started . Insight & Approach With such exercise students are actually get involved in the activity . Groups have healthy competition between them . They learnt how to work in the group . Thus inter and intra personnel skills are developed . Actual society problems students can study and develop a good solution . Students went to the market find material at different places . So they know how to purchase , how to deal and talk with the people . So any idea that comes into mind is to be written on a piece of paper first . Then discuss the viability of that idea thoroughly . Select the best one . Then follow the steps to reach the final goal .

Will we still have actual banks , or do we only have our smartphone on which we will manage all our money ? Or is it not even on a smartphone , but through virtual reality , were you talk to you virtual assistant , who will tell you were to invest your money today and if you can budget on your grocery shopping this week ? And are banks the only ‘ money management players ’ in the market by then , or will other industries also provide banking as a service ? For example a telco company , or a newly started fintech ? A very difficult challenge , because basically , we need a glass ball to see in the future ! But we need to think about this , to be able to choose what our position will be in that new world of money management . Selection I chose to use the visualization tool , to help create a vision on the future of money management . Why ? Because this challenge calls for more than logic . I need a tool that can give me insights in possibilities that are n’t yet possible now . Next to that , a vision is always hard to put into words , in such a way , that all stakeholders interpret it the same way . And since a strategic vision needs to be approved by multiple stakeholders , that is a real challenge . It is easier to visualize it through a drawing , pictures , etc . That is why the visualization tool feels like the right tool to use in this case . Application For me it was important to make sure all possible knowledge on the money management field would be present when working with the visualization tool . I wanted to make sure we have all aspects of the business together , when working on this vision . For example : a marketer , a financial planner , a behavioral scientist , a user experience specialist . With this small team , we tried to work out a shared vision on money management in 2025 . We started with research ( exploration as Angela Meyer calls it ) on how the customer experience should / would be like when thinking about managing your money in the future . We discussed possible customer journeys on managing your money and used drawing boards to visualize this , to gain consensus of what we all meant by that . After that , we started to identify patterns : do we have a shared idea on how money management will be done in the future ? What are common components in our visualizations ? What have we learned from all our ideas and research ? And after this , we worked on some prototypes , to really make those shared ideas come to live . Insight A very important lesson for me in using the visualization tool , is that you do n’t have to be creative to take a visual approach on a challenge . We were all afraid to draw what we were thinking , but even though the drawing of the ideas were not really accurate yet , it helped us in the thinking process on what we all mean . It helped us in gaining a shared understanding of how we see the money management world in 2025 . Maybe the ‘ bad ’ visualizations even helped us the most , because it forces you to discuss what we all see , and why . That was really effective , because automatically , you are thinking outside the box , which is necessary when making a vision . It really helped me to get a better understanding of the context . Approach Next time , I would definitely also use the visualization tool in creating a vision . I find it most valuable to use , when you have a problem and/or solution that is difficult to put into words . A visualization is something that can be interpreted in only one way and that was necessary in this specific challenge . It helped us in showing our stakeholders what the money management world is going to be like in 2025 and how our role as an international bank can be .

Challenge and selection
The primary instrument I utilized was the apparatus of Visualization to accomplish a mutual comprehension of an issue space among a various gathering of partners before endeavoring to recognize and characterize potential answers for the issue . I utilize this methodology regularly with our clients , who are business women / men attempting to apply innovation advancements to modernize their crucial the conveyance of their administrations to their client . The misleading method has used the problem area with clarification of many inquiries or claims to allow the gathering of different partners to benefit from each other during the time spent describing the problem and discovering solutions , key causes and linkages between problems that must be taken into account while identifying error points and opening doors for improvements or new arrangements beyond the familiar .
Application
Firstly , I begin with creating a graphic of the problem domain . To develop the graphic , I will draw use any existing tools to understand the environment . In the event that materials are not accessible , at that point I direct casual meetings with one - three of the partners who fill in as my central matters of contact on the activity . After that I gathered all the information I got from them to clear the vision of the problem I ’m facing . So within the new information I stated to create new layers into my graphic so that will be easier to understand the situation and find the perfect solution by completing the flow chart I used earlier to bring out the best I can on this graphic .
As in the activity , I will divide the stakeholders into groups of 3 participants each representing a different organization or area of interest . Each group receives a poster - size copy of A3 problem graphic that they can write on directly , or use sticky notes to make comments . I give them two - three questions to answer and I give them approximately 20 minutes to discuss the questions and mark up the graphic . Then I have each group present their answers to those questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their poster . As each group presenting , 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 and Approach
The experience I got from doing this exercise with several groups is that the graphic 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 . The graphic gives them a clear vision of the problem they share and by understand the real problem and adding the ideas they got from braining storm they got out of the box . By the graphic they used and the draws 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 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 .
As I 'm doing this activity 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 hard work .

2 . Selection : We , my team and I do n't use this approach often , because , to be honest , that 's the first time I hear about Design Thinking and the Launching Tool . One of the best criterias of this tool is that it could save our project a lot of time and money .
3 . Application : In our past projects we applied ineffectively the tools we used , because we were short in resources and were inexperienced . From the first approach we were unable to make better hypotheses , we struggled to make plausible assumptions from the beginning which cost us a huge burden in our financial budget . We were highly dependent on the financial projections from the pilot phase of our project and there were few maneuvers for testing as well .
4 . Insight : Now , thanks to the knowledge that we have now , we are able to overcome our step backs from our previous failures . We are all equipped with wisdom when it comes to value creation , identifying key assumptions from the start . With these new skill sets we can pivot and put wrong data in the trash can for future use . We gained understanding on how to effectively learn and continue to test by learning new tools to successfully develop new projects or ideas .
5 . Approach : The Launching tool changed our minds completely and also changed the way we do our projects . From now on , we will do our best to make failure cheap financially and effectively use the Learning Launching Process , by frequently asking ourselves the same question throughout the phases of the projects - “ What do We not know ? ”

We are all equipped with wisdom when it comes to value creation , identifying key assumptions from the start . With these new skill sets we can pivot and put wrong data in the trash can for future use . We gained understanding on how to effectively learn and continue to test by learning new tools to successfully develop new projects or ideas .
5 . Approach : The Launching tool changed our minds completely and also changed the way we do our projects . From now on , we will do our best to make failure cheap financially and effectively use the Learning Launching Process , by frequently asking ourselves the same question throughout the phases of the projects - “ What do We not know ? ”

Mind Mapping
Challenge :
I am on the Artist Relations team at a music sync company . My job includes
organizing and listening to all the new music submissions that are sent to the label and communicating with the creative department about possible signings . The creative team pitches music to music supervisors and are aware of current trends and needs for TV , Film , and Ads so they are a huge asset to the A&R team and our decision making process . The challenge often encountered in the company is a lack of communication between these two departments about new music . It ’s often a challenge to get the creative department to send back feedback on possible signings in a timely manner . There is currently not a specific tool that is used for feedback so information gets lost in emails . It creates confusion for the A&R team as well as the potential signings . The label lacks an effective communication system to circulate and listen to new music in order for the A&R team to sign new artists into the catalog quickly to match requests and trends . The project is to build an effective online process to create a clear flow of communication between the A&R team and the creative department . A process where information on new artists , their music , and the creative team ’s feedback , are organized clearly and sent back to the A&R team smoothly in order for us to make final decisions .
Selection :
I decided to select the mind mapping tool to begin the innovative thinking
process . Mind Mapping is a brainstorming method often used to fuel a creative mindset by using illustrations and graphs to express ideas . By using a visual tool to generate concepts , it helps to collect , analyze , and structure new thoughts to create a better understanding of the subject / challenge . I selected mind mapping for my challenge because I am currently in the stage where I have identified the issue and need a place to represent my information and ideas to create a hypothesis .
Application :
I used Adobe Illustrator to put together a mind map of my ideas ( see below ) . I think it was applied very effectively . Using mind mapping enabled me to let my thoughts flow .
DESIGN THINKING FOR INNOVATION � 1
The current illustration will now help my team and I narrow down the best hypothesis to move forward with the creation of this online communication portal .
Insight :
Mind mapping removes the pressure of coming up with a great idea / thought on
the first try . It allows your mind to flow freely without judgement . You ’re not necessarily looking for a hypothesis right away , you ’re collecting key words and connections that then creates a large visual map . The map helps you see all these connections in front of you , which I realized helped me significantly ! It also is a great tool for the entire team . Mind mapping can be done in a group or individually to fuel understanding and creativity .
DESIGN THINKING FOR INNOVATION � 2
Regarding the specific challenge of creating an online communication system
between the A&R department and the creative team , I found that the best system includes both an online method and an in person meeting . I also found that it went further than just creating a tool with the creative team . We also would benefit from a submission page on our main website for artists to submit their music to us . The A&R team was mostly receiving our submissions through email , which left my inbox often cluttered . By creating a page for artists to access , it creates a more organized place for me to handle the submissions and listen through . I also realized that we need to narrow down the music we send to the creative team . They were receiving too much and could not handle all the music , on top of the tasks they were already doing . By limiting unsolicited music , we will be able to narrow down our submissions and focus on what ’s really needed . My idea is to create a private page on our website that only the company can access where the A&R team updates the page with new music to listen to . There will be a space for feedback and also a deadline . When the A&R team updates the page , an email notification is automatically sent ot the creative team . When the creative team submits their feedback , a notification is then sent to the A&R team . In addition to the online page , I am thinking of implementing a monthly or biweekly creative meeting where the A&R team and the creative team get together to discuss trends , new signings , needs , etc .
Approach :
I think mind mapping is a really great , versatile tool that can be used lightly with
just a few thoughts or expanded into a whole wall of ideas and connections . Next time , I would expand the map even further and dig a bit deeper into the brainstorming .

What is Design Thinking ?
Imagine that you have an idea . You come up with an ingenious application
which you think will solve your business problems . There are currently no
identical solutions on the market and the one which is most similar is not
really working in the way that customers expect it to .
While your vision is still fresh , you start thinking about the first fundamental
question that comes to mind : “ How long will it take to get it done ? ”
And since we rarely find ourselves with unlimited budget and time , the second
consequent question comes quickly : “ How much will it cost me to do it ? ”
Both of these are fundamental and crucial questions in the making of a
product , but often they are precisely the wrong questions to start with .
Instead , the most important question to ask first is : “ What value can I
create for my users ? ”
To better understand the scope of a project , requirements , and timing we can
use a methodology called “ Design Thinking , ” which helps us during the
“ Discovery Phase ” of a product . This is exactly the time when we need to
understand not only what will make a great product , but also how and if we
should do it . This creative and experimental approach helps us to better
understand how to create things that are not only usable but above all , useful .
The Design Thinking process is particularly useful because it
generates a unique and specific outcome : knowledge .
This methodology has a wider scope of use , but for the purpose of this Design
Thinking Case Study , we will focus only on one specific field - Software
Product Development .
The Theory of Design Thinking
Before we delve into the practical applications of the Design Thinking and my
experience applying it , let ’s take a deeper look at the Design Thinking process .
Design Thinking is a methodology that provides a solution - based approach to
solve problems . It focuses on understanding the user perspective , with a
human - centered point of view . The power of this methodology is the
possibility to test quickly if an idea , solution or enhancement can bring real
results to our customers . Integrating different methodologies , tools , and
techniques coming from different fields ( marketing , psychology , design ,
business ) , the purpose of Design Thinking is to put the user on the very center
of the problem we have to solve .
The goal of the methodology is to “ find the user itself and define its needs ” and
by finding those needs , create a solution or a product that can be really useful .
To achieve this goal , the whole concept is split into six design thinking phases .
1 . Empathize : The goal of this phase is to understand your customer , by
searching and gathering information about their business . During this
phase , we can use several different tools , such as interviews , focus group
observations , and surveys .
2 . Define : In this phase , we collect and categorize information from the
Empathize phase . It ’s here where we define User Personas and User
Journeys .
3 . Ideate : Using the above information , here the team ideates solutions .
There are no silly or wrong ideas ! Everything must be expressed and
documented .
4 . Prototype : During this phase , something tangible is created , that will
allow you to verify your idea in real life . Do n’t overcomplicate and create
this MVP as quickly as possible .
5 . Test : Verify your idea in real life with actual users . Get feedback . Ask
questions on how to improve it .
6 . Implement : This is the phase where all the collected knowledge gets
translated into a final product .
If after reading this you may be thinking : “ This is great but how is this going to
help to quickly make my app a reality . ”

Now - a - days the usage of technology is at the next level . All of us are very much interested in using the present technology and making their work easy and perfectly . The usage of technology has many advantages and disadvantages based on our usage it is helpful .
In present days the people in our society are very busy through their daily works and forget their things and security of others , even I forget many things which are not visible at the right time . Now coming to the security now - a - days there is more of increasing of women trafficking and rapes and kidnapping and hence blackmailing their parents for money and other issues .
So to get a solution for this , I had introduced a GPS TRAKIN app which is connected to different gadgets that work for all users , like the things which are stolen and also forgotten ; it is used to locate your pets nearby , and in farming , security , track you family and friends location .

How this is used in farming ?
Farmers can put the GPS receivers on their tractors and other framing equipment . This allows them to map their plantations and return to same time .
Hence it is suitable for use in mapping soil sample locations , and the farmer can locate the areas that have soil suitable for framing .

Challenge
So I work with a healthcare organization where it is very usual to have weekly meetings with the team member on the status update of the product processing , any incident , concerns etc . I observed that our team members are doing it on a verbal basis that makes slightly difficult for some team members to grasp the information thoroughly .
Selection
For this challenge I used the tool of visualization , like what if we use a white board and marker to jot down the information ( using the flow chart or drawing ) what an individual wants to deliver to the fellow colleagues . Verbal sharing is not enough specially for a new joinee or trainee .
Application
What i did was , i managed a white board and markers and in the next week meeting ; suggested the colleagues to use it for delivering their message . And the outcome was awesome , the persons who were only nodding to the suggestions they actually started putting inputs that clearly means they were grasping much more thoroughly the subject than before .
I also suggested the administration to put the white boards in all the meeting rooms and other places like cafeteria , open hall , sitting garden . Within a week the infrastructure guy contact me saying that the employee ’s feedback is much more frequent than before . Earlier they used to send an email to get the feedback from employee ’s and wait for the revert mail . Now after the working hours they capture the feedback from the white boards and list them very easily . Earlier employees took days to provide their feedback because they have to write a separate mail for this . Now they can write immediately while having a cup of tea .
This tool of visualization proves to be very useful for individuals and for the organization as well . Like they say “ small things makes big difference ” .
Insight and Approach
Every one of us has drawn something after the class or on a piece of paper somewhere someway . But I never thought that one day this drawing on white board will become an asset ( visualization tool ) from which one can leverage in many ways . Like in my case my business unit . For this i was appreciated for the best suggestion in the category of communication and skill in the Town Hall meeting .
Visualization tool has been there always but no one thought about it for the time being but next time i am visualizing the use of posters and pamphlet having the information about safety health and environment at public places within the organization . And of course a white board in the open area for open source in and out learning :)

I am a student of African Leadership in Taiwan .
We are running a recruitment for TEDxNA 2014 . We organize an annual event
every year and there are also some small workshops throughout the year . Our aim is to bring people ’s ideas together , whether it ’s about technology , education , medical , entertainment , or simply just a great idea .
Our team ran smoothly until six months ago , our curators had some serious
misunderstanding between them and led to a crisis of dismissing the team . It was a huge relief that our academic officer took up the responsibility . The worst thing is , a majority of our teammates left because of conflict . And we are also seriously behind
schedule for almost everything . To recruit on December for an event that will take place in May is a challenge . We need to do everything in less than six months , winter vacation included , what normal teams should do in ten to twelve months . So we need people , who are not only interested in us but also willing to take up the challenge once and for all , to become our partners to rebuild TEDxNTHU .
I chose the storytelling tool , as I feel that telling my audience , who are obviously
here for recruitment , the situation we are in and the story behind it can help find those who are really willing to be a part of us . The story is n’t a good one . It ’s about failure and ending up in a pile of mess . As the person striving to fix the mess , I know it ’s not an easy task . The team needs people who are not afraid of this setback .
The storytelling tool is all about knowing your audience , make clear sequence of
event and give moments of reflection . We made it clear that the coming challenge is going to be rough and bumpy . Those who are truly devoted will surely stay and those
who are n’t will simply go . On the other hand , we also showed our expected timelines and schedules . And asked for their advice and feedbacks . This made them see that the challenge is there and the tight schedule is reality . But it also gives people a complete map of what we are currently doing and what we need to do in the future .
This worked really well as it turned out , after the recruitment , we got exactly the
people we wanted and the team was fabulous . We used half the time and achieved something far better than our previous ones .
I will want to use the storytelling tool if I get a public relations intern . I suppose it ’s
all about negotiating and making people trust us . After all , every great brand has a good story behind it .

I love to be fashionable and my style was Tomboy so called bruh girl despite of being such fashionable I realized about sneakers lately . Usually , I love to wear converse shoes which makes me more unique . So , one day I was feeling nostalgic about my school days so I headed to my school to recollect my beautiful memories and surprisingly that day was farewell party of 10th students . Even I joined them to have some fun and I realized most of them love to wear Led sneakers which are glowing in different colors . Then I came up with an idea that how about remix of radium and led light shoes . radium on the body of the shoes with some classic designs and led lights on heels of the shoes , which makes more enthusiastic . So , on the same day I went to night club where me and my friends were invited to join them so we reached and realized that it was silent pub in which play their on music on their headphones and listen to it , how about playing music from shoes At that time came up with an idea of Bluetooth sneakers which will make you whole body to feel the music and makes you more interest for tapping your
feet that ’s kind of awesome right and how about taking to more advanced level such as tracking your footsteps , controlling your temperature of your feet according to weather , free of laces which will automatically tighten your shoes etc . I have shared my idea with my friends and they appreciated me a lot .

Challenges and selection
As I am a student of food processing and technology , there are many challenges that came across while designing a food product as well as selling or marketing a food product . One challenge that I was facing was to select an idea that customers would appreciate and get comfortable with it . As I have failed in some previous ideas . For that purpose , learning launch was a great and appropriate tool to test the idea . It teaches to test an experiment very creatively . If the idea gets a success , its well and good and if it does n’t then to improvise it or to develop a new idea . As IBM did the same as discussed in lecture .
Applications
Learning launch is a beneficial and helpful tool to simplify or neglect the challenges that come across while doing different projects . I was trying to produce my own food product and I was not sure that whether it will work or not ? For that matter , I preferred Learning launch tool by inviting a few dozens of people for an open feedback session . I had a conversation over the product about their feedbacks and came out to be quite helpful . I got to connect with people(customers ) , learning the views and to improvise my mistakes .
Insight
After the conversation in open feedback session , I got to know about the insight I was facing . The main reason that I was facing failure in my previous endeavors was , having a miscommunication with the thoughts of customers . What actually they require as a perfect product ?
With the open feedback session , I was able to overcome the problem that I was facing in those days . I got to know that there should be a healthy and time to time conversation with the customers for better growth and development of a product .
Approach
As I have got the insight about my failures and I recovered with the help of learning launch tool , which I now practice regularly . The other tool , which is mind mapping , is also a fabulous one which I will use in my future projects to find the shortcomings that I will face in finding relevant information about a product . The tool helps to find the interconnections about the facts and data . And helps to collect information relevant , related to the insights that may arise . Design thinking tools helps to solve the problem more precisely and effectively .

A visualization is a tool for forming and expressing ideas and thoughts , and for me , it is also very useful as for organizing and sharing ideas or identify elements or specific pieces of information or perspectives , that otherwise would not have been possible using traditional and default ways of processing and displaying information . For me , although I have not yet worked in a professional field , I use the tool of Visualization frequently in my educational life as a student , whether for scholar projects or just to help me organize myself in my studies . I use the tool of visual thinking to help me with the process of thinking and organization when I work in teams for scholarly projects or to help me organize ideas and data in my daily life . For example , one way I find the tool of visualization extremely useful is for organizing data for my studies . I like to map ideas and information , as I find it more effective to learn . When I have team projects , I share my ideas and information and together we like to visualize the processes and steps , as well as organizing information and ideas for the project .
Application :
Some situations I find the tool of visualization very useful is when I have to do team projects . I use visualization for both creating the process and also presenting the information and solutions . One specific example is when I had to do a presentation for my English Class about an IRR I wrote previously . My IRR was about the economic impact of pregnancy during the teen years . However , in order to find what my research would be about , I had to do mind mapping to organize my ideas for possible topics and lenses I could use in my research . I would first write some topics and issues I was interested in researching ( teen pregnancy , climate change , food marketing , school funding , etc ) and then , for each topic , write more specifically what aspect and lenses I would like to research to finally end up with various research questions to choose from . After choosing my research question and writing my research paper I had to do a presentation . For this , I did not use a mind map but decided to rather organize my claims , sub - claims , and stakeholders in a template I created . This template was just giant cardboard divided into 10 squares , each classifying a part of the presentation ( Intro , Background , Problem , claims&subclaims , counterclaims , rebuttal , solutions , etc . ) . I had written down all the claims , counterclaims , stakeholders , and supporting data in a post - it and started placing the post its where I thought they would be useful to have a strong and co - organized presentation . Finally , this huge template had helped me classify all my data and organize it thoroughly into a strong and organized presentation .
Insight :
By applying the tool of visualization to help me determine my research I was able to organize my ideas more clearly , stating all my possible options and making my process of selection easier and more effective for finding the best research question for me . Using visualization , I was able to organize all the supporting data , claims , sub - claims , stakeholders among others in an organized order that helped me create a stronger line of reasoning and therefore better presentations .
Approach :
Because I use the tool of visualization very often in my school life , I say it is an immense help for organizing ideas and information for almost any work that contains information and organization .
However , as I mentioned before visualization can not only help with organization but can also be used to help you with almost anything . Sometimes I do not use visualization because I am lazy about the whole process and the time it takes , however I need to stop doing that and I know that I should apply the tool of visualization more often as it almost always helps me improve my work and results .

Tool that applied – Storytelling
1 . Challenge & Selection
The storytelling is a powerful tool that can be used in various situations of our daily lives , so it is
a tool that I use all the time . As a marketer at a shampoo company , I have always faced the challenge of attracting more customers to try and love our new products . In addition , I also faced problems with how to ensure the phenomenon of declining brand loyalty to our products , because today there are many options for customers in the markets .
I prefer to use storytelling because it allows me to better understand users , evoke empathy , and
emotionally influence them . I often create images to represent target users , and add conflicts to stories that reflect their ways and concerns . One reason is that with a story , we can better understand what users want from a solution . Good stories always fascinate viewers . In User Experience Design ( UX ) , if designers use storytelling throughout the design process to make sure all work is focused on user needs and the value the company wants for those five users . After completing the design research , to understand the needs and desires of your users , you use your ideas to tell a story about who you are , what they want and how you convey it . This story allows everyone involved in the project to empathize with users and ensure that their work matches the story . Having a story throughout the project means that marketing design at the end of the design process is also simple , because you already know exactly what story to tell to show how valuable your product is .
2 . Application
Storytelling indirectly involves emotional branding . Emotional branding is actually a practice of
building Storytelling indirectly related to emotional branding . In essence , emotional branding is the practice of creating brands that directly appeal to the consumer , his emotional state , needs and aspirations . The purpose of emotional branding is to establish a connection between consumers and products by stimulating consumer emotions . Human needs , such as love , strength , emotional security , and complacency , are based on subconscious emotions as the basis of emotional brands and enable marketers to create self - fulfilling prophecies in response to consumer demand . People want to meet demand , and advertisers need to meet those needs constantly . Our company has launched a new line of dandruff shampoos that allows real women to share their experiences with Beauty Me Antidandruff DIARY products in a video blog where real women share their stories about dandruff and how new products can save it . The YouTube Diary draws real women from fashion bloggers , travel bloggers , makeup artists and more to share their dandruff stories with us . It also contains links to buy goods online . The channel also created a Facebook application , which is again stylized as a diary . In addition to similar YouTube channels , the Secret Diary app provides additional information about hair and products . Creating a secret diary , revealing products as a solution and enabling real women to share their dandruff secrets are supported
by two pillars of sport . This type of story makes it easier for new customers to start their journey to our products , because the review is real and trustworthy .
3 . Insight
Using a learning tool , we developed and tested our solutions . During the training we managed to
improve the functions and design of our product to meet the expectations of users . Thanks to this process , we realized that customers are more attracted to the review of Facebook , because it is shared by ordinary users , rather than celebrities or influential people . Our marketing department has used the results of this process to change the strategy of the marketing campaign . In the future , our business will focus on human- centered design to improve our products and services .

In User Experience Design ( UX ) , if designers use storytelling throughout the design process to make sure all work is focused on user needs and the value the company wants for those five users . After completing the design research , to understand the needs and desires of your users , you use your ideas to tell a story about who you are , what they want and how you convey it . This story allows everyone involved in the project to empathize with users and ensure that their work matches the story . Having a story throughout the project means that marketing design at the end of the design process is also simple , because you already know exactly what story to tell to show how valuable your product is .
2 . Application
Storytelling indirectly involves emotional branding . Emotional branding is actually a practice of
building Storytelling indirectly related to emotional branding . In essence , emotional branding is the practice of creating brands that directly appeal to the consumer , his emotional state , needs and aspirations . The purpose of emotional branding is to establish a connection between consumers and products by stimulating consumer emotions . Human needs , such as love , strength , emotional security , and complacency , are based on subconscious emotions as the basis of emotional brands and enable marketers to create self - fulfilling prophecies in response to consumer demand . People want to meet demand , and advertisers need to meet those needs constantly . Our company has launched a new line of dandruff shampoos that allows real women to share their experiences with Beauty Me Antidandruff DIARY products in a video blog where real women share their stories about dandruff and how new products can save it . The YouTube Diary draws real women from fashion bloggers , travel bloggers , makeup artists and more to share their dandruff stories with us . It also contains links to buy goods online . The channel also created a Facebook application , which is again stylized as a diary . In addition to similar YouTube channels , the Secret Diary app provides additional information about hair and products . Creating a secret diary , revealing products as a solution and enabling real women to share their dandruff secrets are supported
by two pillars of sport . This type of story makes it easier for new customers to start their journey to our products , because the review is real and trustworthy .
3 . Insight
Using a learning tool , we developed and tested our solutions . During the training we managed to
improve the functions and design of our product to meet the expectations of users . Thanks to this process , we realized that customers are more attracted to the review of Facebook , because it is shared by ordinary users , rather than celebrities or influential people . Our marketing department has used the results of this process to change the strategy of the marketing campaign . In the future , our business will focus on human- centered design to improve our products and services .

Challenge & Selection
As a curriculum designer assigned projects to create training materials and programs for call centers for a large corporation , sometimes our training requests are very vague . It is up to the designer to work with the client to determine the actual needs and goals of the client . In order to create an effective training program , the materials have to improve or meet the client metrics or goals . If those goals and needs are not determined at the beginning of the project , the training is a waste of time for the participants and a waste of money for the client .
Application
I often use the Visualization method when interacting with clients to determine their training needs and goals . “ Visualization is the transformation of information into images that you see , either literally with your eyes or figuratively with your mind ’s eye . ” Elizabeth Ahmed and Richard Brown Designing for Growth – a design thinking tool kit for managers . A visualization method I use frequently with clients is a method created by Cathy Moore called Action Mapping . “ Action mapping is a streamlined process to design training in the business world . Its goal is to help designers :
Commit to measurably improving the performance of the business
Identify the best solution to the performance problem
When training is necessary , create challenging simulations , not information presentations ”
To implement the method , I set up a conference call with the client and set expectations to discuss the client training needs and . The client is to bring examples of why the training is needed along with the expected outcome of the training . For example , which metric or goal should the training achieve ? The meeting starts with a whiteboard and in the middle is the client training request . From there , the client links out various topics or ideas that should be addressed , or could possibly be impacted by the training . The loosely drawn map shows all of the various topics or ideas that come from brainstorming the training request and needs of the client . Not all of the ideas or topics will be used , but by visualizing how the training can impact the client ’s business , it gives them the opportunity to decide if the training is truly needed or should the request be revisited to determine if a different approach to the request should be considered .
Insight & Approach
The visualization method and action mapping methods helps avert unnecessary training and the expenses that go with the time and effort being put into a project that will fail to meet the client needs or request . This method is just one of many methods different designers may use when discussing a training request with a client . The Journey Mapping method can be modified to be used with the client during the analysis phase of creating training materials . “ Journey mapping is the representation , in flowchart or other graphic format , of the customer ’s experience as he or she interacts with your company in receiving its product or service . ” Elizabeth Ahmed and Richard Brown Designing for Growth – a design thinking tool kit for managers . When discussing the training request with the client , the designer can request the client walk them through how the company ’s customers interact with the customer service agent . What are the customer expectations and what are the company ’s expectations of the customer service agent during this interaction ? By having an understanding of the customer service agent ’s job and how it impacts the company ’s customers , the designer can create a better training product to help enhance and meet those expectations .
I have in my design tool box various methods to help me understand my client ’s training request . By using by the visualization / action mapping and journey mapping methods , I can improve the process and create a product that fulfills the clients request and helps them improve their metrics and reach their goals .

Challenge
I was tasked with helping one of our departments with re - imagining how they accomplish their work . Their caseload had increased dramatically over the past few years , but there was n’t budget for additional staff , and consequently , they were falling further and further behind . Our goal was to find ways for them to change how they worked so they could handle the increasing caseload without adding staff positions . I was responsible facilitating the project and one of my first tasks was to collect information about the current state , including feedback and insights from staff , so that our small team who would participate in the ideation session could start from a shared understanding . I used visualization throughout the project at many different steps , but in this reflection , I ’ll discuss here how I used it to define the problems and create a shared understanding of the current state .
Selection
I was an outsider to the group who was there only to facilitate and organize the efforts , so I had to get up to speed on their work processes very quickly . This was n’t easy . The department had lots of detailed procedures , but nothing that connected those procedures into a bigger picture of workflow . Also , they used lots of jargon to describe their work and also had confusing naming conventions where the same word or phrase could refer to multiple parts of the process . It was difficult to understand their thoughts and feedback with all the confusion about “ vocabulary . ” To make sure that the staff and I , and eventually the small team who would participate in ideation sessions , could be confident that we were all on the same page during our conversations , I decided to use a visualization tool . Visualization allows us to align our understanding with others because a single visual picture grounds us in the same understanding in a way that words do not . In particular , I created a process diagram of current state and used it as a tool in my conversations with staff .
Application
First , I conducted 2 - 3 interviews with the team managers and reviewed existing procedure and training documentation to draft a process diagram for the current state . The diagram included each major step of the process . I indicated via symbols whether the step involved working with physical materials or electronic materials . I showed which roles were involved at each step by using color - coded stick figures . Once I had created this high - level process , I conducted additional interviews with staff using a series of specific open - ended questions . Those questions were 1 ) how well does this diagram represent the current process and what , if anything , should be changed on it , 2 ) which parts of the current process do you think create the most problems and why , 3 ) which parts of the current process do you think work well and why , and 4 ) what else do you want the team working on this project to know . As we went through the interviews , I had them to write their thoughts on the process flow ( each person had their own copy ) and encouraged them to use symbols like happy / sad faces or stars or question marks to capture their feedback . Using visualization to ground and structure these conversations was extremely effective for me . I was able to be confident that I understood exactly which steps and parts of the
process the staff was talking about when they provided feedback and that my understanding of the current state was n’t confused by difficult jargon or confusing naming conventions .
Insight
Not only did visualization help me create shared understanding , it also provided other benefits . It was extremely efficient . After instituting the process map in my interviews , the quality of the conversation was richer and the interviews actually took less time . Additionally , I had artifacts from the interviews that directly recorded staff ’s thoughts and opinions that I could go back to reference later and that I could share with others so they could see first - hand feedback . Finally , I was able to easily find patterns in the feedback and to communicate them to the small team that would participate in the sessions to ideate changes and improvements . All of this led to better conversations and ideating in the next step because we had a solid basis of understanding to start from . While this project was n’t designed using a Design Thinking approach specifically , I realize now that many of the most effective techniques that I used , like visualization , are included in Design Thinking .
Approach
If I were to do a project like this again , I would definitely use Design Thinking more deliberately . While I think that the use of the process diagram for gathering information about as - is was useful , I do wonder if it might have constrained some of the thinking about the challenge space . Because we were grounded in a visualization of process , we talked mostly about process . It could have been helpful to spend some time thinking about the people involved in the process from a more human - centered approach . Visualization could have been helpful here too . Also , we produced a rather large briefing packet for the group that participated in ideation . If I were to do this process again , I might consider using the mind- mapping technique instead of the large briefing book . I think we would have had more engagement in the early part of our ideation sessions and potentially some more creative ideas .

CHALLENGE SELECTION
The first tool used is Visualization tool to understand the given problem in a easy way . Visualization or visualisation is any technique for creating images , diagrams , or animations to communicate a message . Visualization through visual imagery has been an effective way to communicate both abstract and concrete ideas since the dawn of humanity . Examples from history include cave paintings , Egyptian hieroglyphs , Greek geometry , and Leonardo da Vinci 's revolutionary methods of technical drawing for engineering and scientific purposes .
Visualization today has ever - expanding applications in science , education , engineering ( e.g. , product visualization ) , interactive multimedia , medicine , etc . Typical of a visualization application is the field of computer graphics . The invention of computer graphics ( and 3D computer graphics ) may be the most important development in visualization since the invention of central perspective in the Renaissance period . The development of animation also helped advance visualization .
APPLICATION
Scientific visualization
As a subject in computer science , scientific visualization is the use of interactive , sensory representations , typically visual , of abstract data to reinforce cognition , hypothesis building , and reasoning . Scientific visualization is the transformation , selection , or representation of data from simulations or experiments , with an implicit or explicit geometric structure , to allow the exploration , analysis , and understanding of the data . Scientific visualization focuses and emphasizes the representation of higher order data using primarily graphics and animation techniques.[5][6 ] It is a very important part of visualization and maybe the first one , as the visualization of experiments and phenomena is as old as science itself . Traditional areas of scientific visualization are flow visualization , medical visualization , astrophysical visualization , and chemical visualization . There are several different techniques to visualize scientific data , with isosurface reconstruction and direct volume rendering being the more common .
Data visualization
Data visualization is a related subcategory of visualization dealing with statistical graphics and geospatial data that is abstracted in schematic form .
Educational visualization
Educational visualization is using a simulation to create an image of something so it can be taught about . This is very useful when teaching about a topic that is difficult to otherwise see , for example , atomic structure , because atoms are far too small to be studied easily without expensive and difficult to use scientific equipment .
Knowledge visualization
The use of visual representations to transfer knowledge between at least two persons aims to improve the transfer of knowledge by using computer and non - computer - based visualization methods complementarily.[8 ] Thus properly designed visualization is an important part of not only data analysis but knowledge transfer process , too.[9 ] Knowledge transfer may be significantly improved using hybrid designs as it enhances information density but may decrease clarity as well . For example , visualization of a 3D scalar field may be implemented using iso - surfaces for field distribution and textures for the gradient of the field.[10 ] Examples of such visual formats are sketches , diagrams , images , objects , interactive visualizations , information visualization applications , and imaginary visualizations as in stories . While information visualization concentrates on the use of computer - supported tools to derive new insights , knowledge visualization focuses on transferring insights and creating new knowledge in groups . Beyond the mere transfer of facts , knowledge visualization aims to further transfer insights , experiences , attitudes , values , expectations , perspectives , op inions , and predictions by using various complementary visualizations . See also : picture dictionary , visual dictionary
Product visualization
Product visualization involves visualization software technology for the viewing and manipulation of 3D models , technical drawing and other related documentation of manufactured components and large assemblies of products . It is a key part of product lifecycle management . Product visualization software typically provides high levels of photorealism so that a product can be viewed before it is actually manufactured . This supports functions ranging from design and styling to sales and marketing . Technical
visualization is an important aspect of product development . Originally technical drawings were made by hand , but with the rise of advanced computer graphics the drawing board has been replaced by computer - aided design ( CAD ) . CAD - drawings and models have several advantages over hand - made drawings such as the possibility of 3- D modeling , rapid prototyping , and simulation . 3D product visualization promises more interactive experiences for online shoppers , but also challenges retailers to overcome hurdles in the production of 3D content , as large - scale 3D content production can be extremely costly and time- consuming .
Insight and approach
The benefits of knowledge visualization are myriad . We briefly highlighted them earlier in this article , but in this section , we ’ll go into greater depth . This will help you have a better understanding of why you might want to incorporate more opportunities for visualizing information into your own organization . For instance , knowledge visualization benefits include such things as :
1 . Better Understanding – Visualizing knowledge is useful for identifying
patterns , outliers , and trends . And of course with this information , companies can better predict where their organization , industry , or market is headed , strategically planning for the future .
2 . Improved Recall – You ’re probably familiar with the saying , ―A picture
is worth a thousand words.‖ That definitely applies to knowledge visualization . When concepts are presented to people in a visual way , memory retention increases . As a result , knowledge visualization has been proven to facilitate learning .
3 . More Engaging – Imagine you ’ve been presented with two options —
either to read a manual explaining a process flow or to actually see that same process presented visually . If you ’re like most people , you ’d probably opt for the diagram . Diagrams are usually interesting and fun to look at . Long , boring manuals , on the other hand ? Not so much .
4 . Deeper Insights – Knowledge visualization shows details in context , as
well as the relationships among various objects . Because these relationships are so clearly mapped out in graphic format , more opportunities exist for ―a - ha‖ moments .
5 . Faster Knowledge Transfer – When non - experts need to learn new
information fast , diagrams can be especially useful . Say , for instance , that a marketing department manager needs to explain to the IT department exactly what tasks his team performs , because he wants
marketing software to streamline their operations . Sometimes , this can be overwhelming to try to communicate orally or even in writing . With knowledge visualization , however , the marketing team ’s processes and workflows can be documented in such a way that the entire IT team can quickly get up - to - speed .

For instance , knowledge visualization benefits include such things as :
1 . Better Understanding – Visualizing knowledge is useful for identifying
patterns , outliers , and trends . And of course with this information , companies can better predict where their organization , industry , or market is headed , strategically planning for the future .
2 . Improved Recall – You ’re probably familiar with the saying , ―A picture
is worth a thousand words.‖ That definitely applies to knowledge visualization . When concepts are presented to people in a visual way , memory retention increases . As a result , knowledge visualization has been proven to facilitate learning .
3 . More Engaging – Imagine you ’ve been presented with two options —
either to read a manual explaining a process flow or to actually see that same process presented visually . If you ’re like most people , you ’d probably opt for the diagram . Diagrams are usually interesting and fun to look at . Long , boring manuals , on the other hand ? Not so much .
4 . Deeper Insights – Knowledge visualization shows details in context , as
well as the relationships among various objects . Because these relationships are so clearly mapped out in graphic format , more opportunities exist for ―a - ha‖ moments .
5 . Faster Knowledge Transfer – When non - experts need to learn new
information fast , diagrams can be especially useful . Say , for instance , that a marketing department manager needs to explain to the IT department exactly what tasks his team performs , because he wants
marketing software to streamline their operations . Sometimes , this can be overwhelming to try to communicate orally or even in writing . With knowledge visualization , however , the marketing team ’s processes and workflows can be documented in such a way that the entire IT team can quickly get up - to - speed .

The idea was to really understand the pains that the students have in there current programs , and waht are the key elements that they consider to be succesfull that the university was not providing . I have used this technique often to really undertand the current situation , the opportunity or problem that i want to approach to then set de design criterias for the solution Application I started the process by gathering all the information that i thought could be usefull for the situation and then set some cuestions to do a ethnographic interview with some of the PHD students . After i had donde the interviews and had some insight of what direction the new peogram needed to go , i ask the students to imagine how would the program be if it could be anithing that they wanted and aske them to draw is on a collage and explain to me what they werw thinking . One of last steps was to put them all together and ask the wich of the elements thata i had discovered werre more usefull to Insight & Approach What I have learned from this exercise is that several groups is that sometimes is hard to express in a graphic way what you are imaginig – especially when you are dealing with a group of cientists . I think that really understanding the oppotunity and take the time to just imagine if wvwrithing were possible what would someone do is critical and that sometimes the data is not the most important element to consider ( cuantitativ data ) to provide the new solution . I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and from there set the design criterias to biuld a pilotbecause in these case the students erre more interested in innovation subjects and relational skills with others than in the technical expertice to achive a succesfull career

The project scope must validate the following key assumptions : 1 . Contain maintenance costs 2 . Maintain asset availability 3 . Comply with the Sustainable Buildings legislation 4 . Remote technical supervision with quality and service guarantee 5 . Compliance with the Risk Management System for Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing . 6 . Streamline the quotation processes . For the execution of the project , we will contract a software development company with a maximum estimated time of 3 months and an estimated price of US $ 10,000 . A Pilot of the application will be executed in the Versalles Clinic , which has 5 buildings and a total of 10,500 M2 of area , where we will validate the Functional Prototype and the key assumptions mentioned .
Selection Our Team in the area of Digital Transformation , has analyzed the different Design Thinking tools , and we have considered that the Learning Launch tool is adequate to quickly test the idea with its hypothesis and key assumptions in a functional Prototype that will be tested through a pilot on a strategic customer .
Application For our first learning launch , our Digital Transformation area , applying SCRUM methodology , contacted 10 actors or strategic customers of the Urban Habitat Cluster ecosystem who were asked their opinion of each of the key assumptions raised and if they considered they were important in a Facility Management process and what were their suggestions or expectations in an application that would support said process . This work was carried out in 2 weeks , where in the end a document was obtained with the priorities of the key assumptions , as follows : 1 . Maintain asset availability 2 . Remote technical supervision with quality and service guarantee 3 . Contain maintenance costs 4 . Streamline the quotation processes . 5 . Comply with the Sustainable Buildings legislation 6 . Compliance with the Risk Management System for Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing . For our second learning launch , our Digital Transformation area applying SCRUM methodology , again contacted 10 actors or strategic customers of the Urban Habitat Cluster ecosystem who were asked to prioritize the processes that the Building Management application would have . This work was carried out in 2 weeks , where in the end a document was obtained with the following result : 1 . Characterization of the spaces that make up a building . 2 . Sustainability of the building ( Consumption Management of Public Services and Equipment Management ) 3 . Building Maintenance ( Maintenance Service Requests generated by the client towards the contractors with their respective quotation , approval , delivery of the work with evidence and payment of the service ) .
4 . Administration of the Operational Costs of the Building . 5 . Biosafety Protocol ( Covid19 ) of the maintenance contractor company and its employees , validated by the local government health entity . 6 . Validation of the Risk Management System for Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing for contractor companies that offer building maintenance services . 7 . Appraised the building . Insight Applying the learning launch tool , our Digital Transformation team was able to identify that the key assumptions were real , which allowed us to define the design of the Application with the following Modules for Facility Management in a functional prototype and that we would test in the Pilot of the strategic customer Versalles Clinic , as follows : 1 . Characterization Module . 2 . Sustainability Module . 3 . Maintenance Module . 4 . Administration Module . 5 . Biosafety Module . 6 . Registration Module . 7 . Appraisal Module . Approach Definitely , the learning launch tool was the appropriate one because the implemented process allowed the functional prototype to be validated in the Pilot of the strategic customer Versalles Clinic , where the application was had for 2 months and all the important information was collected ( confirming the volume data and data quality ) for data analytics and Dash Boards were generated with important indicators of the process , so as a conclusion we can continue with the development of the Facility Management Application to commercialize it in the Urban Habitat Cluster Ecosystem .

I work in the oil and gas sector , in particular working with wells that have been developed miles down into the earth strata to produce hydrocarbon . The job relies heavily on thinking in the abstract and imagination , as the human senses normally used to figure out most things are almost fully disabled with something being so remote . In many cases interpretation of data on things we see on our surface equipment accounts for fifty percent of our diagnosis on problems with the other fifty being highly experiential with a bit of gut feel thrown in for good measure . As you can imagine , this often leads to a wide spectra of opinion on what really occurs with these wells and makes for good debate amongst colleagues . The challenge however is that in a large corporate firm with its own technology solutions , the process of getting to a consensus on how to fix a strategic problem can feel like going against the grain very quickly . That is where a good story telling that works through the highs and lows of past solutions , re - discovering the pains , learnings and connecting to the emotions of people can be quite useful .
Application One example comes to mind where this technique was particularly useful . For quite some time the firm had sown its navel into a particular group of technologies which had been successful at eliminating sand production at surface from the wells . However well reliability in the last two years had decreased significantly due to major sand production issues , hitting the production bottom line and cash flow . Many of the senior managers themselves had used the prior technologies , reinforcing their belief in its continued value and in many cases ascribing the failures to other imaginative descriptions . In speaking directly to many of them I had realised that they had unconsciously blocked or forgotten their past successes and failures as they focused more on their corporate management duties . I had researched an industry technology to solve our problems , but it would take a journey into history to bring them into the present .
Insight and Approach
The technology I was proposing was easy enough to understand and in fact simple in some ways to the ones that we were currently using to manage the well sanding issues . Prior to getting into the story - telling itself , I had to do some research on the different managers backgrounds . Stuff like what their experiences were that made them successful and what made them stand out . Strengths and weaknesses and even their office supporters were all pieces of data that I had collated . The act of story - telling itself took place on two different occasions between more junior and then senior managers and that was deliberate so that the journeys could be tailored separately . For the junior managers taking them back through their experiences as very successful individuals who themselves found technologies or methods to solve challenges provided an avenue to please Bothe their egos and also appeal to their past spirits of self - discovery . Bringing in the new technology information and data from industry along with the “ basics ” of
corporate approval ( budgets , contracts etc . ) was just the icing on the cake once the journey had started . For the senior managers however , story - telling had to be approached from a more macro sense and scale of the industry challenges that were being brought to roost at “ home ” and painting a visionary picture of where we could be going with the uptake of my proposal . It was n’t all smooth sailing though requiring a maverick trick of actually bringing a sample of the technology physically into the space . That s where visualisation really assists with story - telling , something which I have benefited from in this course .

Challenge & Selection
For a group project , my group was tasked to figure out our own challenge we would want
to solve . So as a group we decided we wanted to work on improving the safety of e - scooter riders . This could take on multiple aspects like adding a shared helmet or improving the battery life of the scooter . After deciding to pursue the shared helmet route , we still had to decide how we would implement and promote the usage of the helmet . So our goal was to come up with an improved design of e - scooter to allow for riders to have access to helmets while maintaining good hygiene and increasing safety of riders .
The tool I used was visualization - a tool that allows a shared understanding of the
problem whether through graphics , tables , or videos . I chose this tool because we were just getting started and wanted to share and understand each of our ideas well before making a decision . Application
After brainstorming , we decided to share our ideas . Initially , we were trying to share our
ideas without any images . As we began discussing our ideas , we found out that each of us had a different idea of the proposed solutions . So to fix this issue , I applied the visualization tool . However , instead of just telling the person who came up with the idea to draw out what they were thinking . I applied a bit differently where we each drew what we thought the proposed solution was . After finishing our drawings , we compared our drawings and found that each of our drawings were different , but all of them could potentially work . We picked different aspects of each of our designs to create a totally different design than each had proposed . Not only increasing the amount of ideas , but also how each unique part of the helmet could be designed . Insight This tool worked really well with my group . As our design project was open to all ideas , by drawing out each of proposed ideas we were able to increase the number of ideas to improve the design of the helmet . The graphics really helped us get a more concrete understanding of helmet design . We were then able to analyze the helmet further and all be on the same page , so none of us were confused about what we were doing . Though I did not apply visualization exactly how it was described in this course , I feel that it allowed us to come up with a better final product . Approach As my group was just starting , the visualization tool helped a great deal in solidifying our thoughts for the final solution . For future projects , I will do a similar exercise so that we will all be on the same page and also understand each of the proposals . We will then proceed to use other design methods , so that we can improve our design thinking .

Tool : Visualization
Challenge & Selection :
Visualization is a great tool that helps a person to convey his / her ideas to the stakeholders
and in turn get their views as well . I also believe that visualization is a great technique to avoid
any kind misunderstanding in a group project and everyone can put their ideas clearly on the
table . This helps a lot since it is important to clearly understand the problem before beginning
any project . Visualization also plays a significant role , when a diverse group of people are
being addressed .
During my apparel internship , I was given a project to improve the quality of outputs of all
the assembly line in the shirt manufacturing factory . After identifying the types of defects and
calculating the DHU% ( Defects per hundred units ) , we made a possible cause and effect
diagram which showed that the checkers of each assembly were ignorant of the defects and
were not able to grasp the idea of quality as a significant role in production . Hence , there was
need for training not just the checkers but also their supervisors . The challenge that I faced
was to convey the idea to both the managers and the checkers ( many of whom were not
literate ) , that quality is as important an aspect as meeting production targets , before actually
starting to improve quality of the outputs .
Application :
The main aim of their training was to discuss with the assembly line checkers and managers
that why quality is important , and above all how can they be benefitted by the same . Before
I started the session a video was shown to the participants in order to understand the basics
of quality and how small steps taken can lead to big profitable changes . In the training session
fundamentals were discussed with help of comic characters and different photographs taken
by me , of their working process and the defects that were occurring again and again . Then
the participants were asked to identify the defects in the given samples . A major issue that
was raised during these sessions was that in order to complete their targets for the day , they
often missed many defects . Upcoming sessions all of us put combined efforts in devising
various ways through which these defects can be identified in limited time frame . This was
done by first preparing an inspection process for each part of the shirt and in order to make
this clearly understandable the checkers were encouraged to prepare a pictorial process chart
of the same . The same was displayed near their workstations . Checkers were encouraged to
draw the corrects diagrams of different parts of the shirt , and then with help of quality
technicians we developed work aids for them to speed up their checking process .
Insight :
Overall the results were tremendous , efficiency of checkers was improved , they were better
equipped to do their job , and DHU% reduced drastically . By visualizing every step of this
training , the entire quality team was able to overcome many obstacles and were now better
aware for the issues that might come their way in the future . Also , the Visual Tool was so
successful that the factory management thought to use it in its other departments as well
including the cutting and finishing departments . Another important step that they took was
to hold meetings where the entire quality team participated and the visual tool became an
imperative part of it !
Approach :
After witnessing the results , I realised that involving the checkers from the beginning could
have resulted in even better understanding of the issues faced by them , by me and the
management as well . Also , many of them were not comfortable with the idea of giving
interviews , which also made me realise of asking them to submit illustrations of quality
related issues that they faced on a regular basis . This approach will be considered by the
managers at the factory for other departments .

### Input: DESIGN THINKING FOR INNOVATION
Tool : Visualization
Challenge & Selection :
Visualization is a great tool that helps a person to convey his / her ideas to the stakeholders
and in turn get their views as well . I also believe that visualization is a great technique to avoid
any kind misunderstanding in a group project and everyone can put their ideas clearly on the
table . This helps a lot since it is important to clearly understand the problem before beginning
any project . Visualization also plays a significant role , when a diverse group of people are
being addressed .
During my apparel internship , I was given a project to improve the quality of outputs of all
the assembly line in the shirt manufacturing factory . After identifying the types of defects and
calculating the DHU% ( Defects per hundred units ) , we made a possible cause and effect
diagram which showed that the checkers of each assembly were ignorant of the defects and
were not able to grasp the idea of quality as a significant role in production . Hence , there was
need for training not just the checkers but also their supervisors . The challenge that I faced
was to convey the idea to both the managers and the checkers ( many of whom were not
literate ) , that quality is as important an aspect as meeting production targets , before actually
starting to improve quality of the outputs .
Application :
The main aim of their training was to discuss with the assembly line checkers and managers
that why quality is important , and above all how can they be benefitted by the same . Before
I started the session a video was shown to the participants in order to understand the basics
of quality and how small steps taken can lead to big profitable changes . In the training session
fundamentals were discussed with help of comic characters and different photographs taken
by me , of their working process and the defects that were occurring again and again . Then
the participants were asked to identify the defects in the given samples . A major issue that
was raised during these sessions was that in order to complete their targets for the day , they
often missed many defects . Upcoming sessions all of us put combined efforts in devising
various ways through which these defects can be identified in limited time frame . This was
done by first preparing an inspection process for each part of the shirt and in order to make
this clearly understandable the checkers were encouraged to prepare a pictorial process chart

Situation I am a digital designer and animation artist however I am focusing on this tool in my capacity also as a youth football coach / Manager in my local grassroots football club , I have in the been a coach/ Manager in other clubs and in some I have been a support to the main coach however at this moment I run my own team and we are relatively new to the league we play in . I have come to realise that while everyone including licensed coaches like myself appear to understand something they think would be the solution to their team performance or individual player performance , it is not just a one way traffic , there has to be a starting point and a intentional plan for progress otherwise we generate a lot of activities but little progress in the real sense of it .
Challenge Particularly speaking of my new team , I understand we already play in a league but it will be a challenge to expect to compete at the same level with those who have been together for a while now therefore I have to start from the beginning . I have to be able to know these players and so I can understand how to tailor my sessions towards their ultimate development , I am not their parents but I have to try to not be their parents but like a coaching parent to children I only spend 1hours a week with before the games . There is a big gap between the skilled and the less skilled players and therefore one hour will never be enough to deal with both ends of the spectrum of players and still have a fruitful development process without me falling short of the ‘ parental ’ and club expectations of me .
Application My mode of visualization comes handy in an attempt at knowing the players more . I can do this with a combination of visual written and drawn template ideas to help ascertain what , where and how .
I use Player Profiling as seen below , it helps me understanding them and how they fare under certain 4 categories or developmental corners ,
they also get to rate themselves before I come to finalize things and then I can generate a Performance Monitor for myself and the club for example
Perhaps the most important application of visualization going forward is developing a Session Plan like this below .
This helps me plan my session based on what developmental corner I see is lacking in certain players or what situation they as a team are not handling properly , sometimes development is not just about focusing on weaknesses but could also be to strengthen areas of excellence even more .
Insight As can be seen from the above , I am above to generate a performance monitor and now have an opportunity to know my players even more and their general aeas of need as individuals and as a team . What this is helping me with is that we have had visible improvement over time , we have started with looses and it looked like nothing will change but towards the end of the first part of the season
we had a draw and then we nearly beat a team that had 3 - 4 substitutes when we had none , now in the start of the new season , we have actually won 2 games already . There has been a noticeable increased interest in both the players and their parents , the club has sent me a well done note because they knew how we started and now I can relate to players better since I know what they fare at and how well , in addition players are beginning to relate their training to their own performances and recently a player had suggested to me a way to help them gain improvement in areas they are lacking in , this is because they can see the pattern I am following and they themselves are beginning to gain personal insights .
Approach Visualization seem to me a brilliant tool that can be deployed not just at the start of a process but at any stage or period of the process , initially it can be to gather thoughts and tabulate ideas , it can be in any visual form but this soon links up with the methodology and approach to progress with . At the end one is able to also visualise the previous processes and see what had allowed for the successes recorded if any or at least what to avoid next time . This can also be used to summarise the process for others to learn from without going into too much details . In addition to visualization tools , I would also like to consider StoryTelling tool to in a case where I am trying to tell others coaches and managers how to overcome similar challenges and how I have adopted Visualization as a tool to solve mine .

Challenge and Selection Handling payroll calculation for a labour intensive industry is always painful . There are numerous transactions ( such as leave and attendance data , overtime payment , additional allowance , etc ) to deal with within a very tight schedule . Our payroll team only has 2 working days to process such data for 3,000 + staff and during these 2 days , the team has to work overtime . We have a checklist which lists out each step to make sure all transactions are properly recorded and procedures are in correct order . This checklist helps us to complete the payroll process in an
accurate manner , but it ca n’t help us to shorten the processing time . We need to find ways to shorten the time . In order to figure out where the bottleneck is and have a clearer picture of the flow , our team decided to visualize all activities and parties involved for the whole payroll process by drawings . Visualization is analysing the current situation and find out possible ways to shorten the processing time through drawing . Application and Insight
We spent an afternoon , using simple diagrams and arrows , outlying ( 1 ) the connections of each task , ( 2 ) parties involved , ( 3 ) time spent and ( 4 ) data flow for the process on the whiteboard . By visualizing the whole process and the connection ,
we spotted out the possible steps which could be combined by reshuffling the jobs and the tasks which might be done earlier . We identified certain tasks which may be simplified with the assistance of other departments as well . We then drew a new diagram , which combined our thoughts and ideas . We shared this diagram with related parties and discussed our proposed new flow with them . As the diagram showed the steps and ideas clearly , everyone understood what we
intend to do easily and they gave instant feedback . The diagram worth thousand words ! We then further fine tune the flow and found that the processing time could be shortened by 0.5 working day . We will adopt the new flow and trail for 2 months , after that , we will sit down and review the effectiveness of the new flow and further discuss new insights .
Approach
Going forward , our team will review the process by visualization on a regular basis and find out any possible improvement area and work with other department to smoothen and shorten the whole process . As visualizing the process is the key for us to figure out the problems for our case , it helps us to find the bottleneck , grasps actionable insights , figure out possible solutions and more importantly , it allows us to discuss the flow with other departments easily .

We wanted to test a beverage subscription service that “ learns ” over time from consumption preferences , habits and favorite ingredients .

Challenge
Recently I graduated from college , and I was looking for a job on management consulting at one of the “ Big Three ” , to do so I needed to show to my interviewers that I had what is needed to got a great performance on the job . I knew that I have what was needed but I was not sure how to communicate it and I knew it was an important part of the interview at strategic consulting .
Selection
I choose Storytelling tool because it was the best way that I can approach to the situation I was facing up , for me Storytelling is a way to communicate to others the way you see a situation and engage them to feel what you were feeling when you were living the story , that way you ensure that they will remember and understand the whole situation and what reasons you have to approach the way you did .
Application
When it came my first interview , I was nervous , but I stick to the Storytelling tool and everything came good . Firstable I settled the situation , describing the context of the story , then I told the interviewer what was the challenge I face and how I feel and react to it , trying to emphasize the skills that I knew the company value the most . At the end I told the interviewer how everything ended and what was the result of my participation in the situation .
Insight
The most valuable thing that I found was that the way that you tell a story change the whole context of the situation , you can transmit a lot of things thru good stories and communicate on a way that change the perspective of the other person about an specific situation .
Approach
When I will have to use the Storytelling tool again I will be more aware of how to select every word and the way that a story can change depends on who is the listener of the story , it is not the same tell a story to a friend that tell the same story to someone you are trying to convince of doing something or to see you in a certain way .

The charity was one of the oldest and best known in the country , but their market dominance had been challenged in recent times by competition from several new NGOs . The executives were set in their ways ; they employed the same tactics and messaging for every marketing campaign . They wanted to stay with the ‘ safe ’ option - the one which had worked for them for years - even though they were losing their core audience to the fresh new competition . They were firm believers that the information had to be presented in a specific way in order to honor the cause . We were tasked with coming up with a marketing campaign which could regain strength and position within the market . Selection In order to speak to all audiences we decided we needed to tell a story . As expressed by Billy Salinas in the Storytelling Tool video in Week 2 of this course , we had to create a cause which people could easily understand and buy into . We realized we had to find the right story , and the right way to tell it , in order to re - engage the customers and give the charity executives the confidence to do something different . Application We started by looking at the most recent campaigns , including the core messaging and the results generated . We saw that the messaging was often quite complex , dealing with hugely emotive topics and language which was largely unaccessible . These campaigns did not perform as well as expected on the street with customers . In fact , many customers were put off by the complexity of the messaging . We fully immersed ourselves in the data and tried to find the simplest ways to re - present it . This was very challenging as there was a danger of oversimplifying these important messages , which could put off our internal stakeholders . We needed their complete buy - in if we were to be successful . In our research we came across some useful data , which we were able to break down into very easily understandable actions . We brought in a designer who was briefed to illustrate these steps in a visual language which was complementary to the existing language , but had a more human focus . We simplified the customer ’s journey using written language they could understand , without alienating our internal executives . Insight Our insights came directly from our data . We discovered that relating the work of the charity to an everyday action by the man / woman on the street , was getting right to the heart of the cause . We asked the audience to ( for example ) think of the time it takes to brush their teeth , and what else could be done in that time . We made the abstract campaign ideas something which could be explained simply . We used infographics which cut down on the amount of text used . We related the complex to the everyday . The eureka moment for our team was realizing that we had to capture the hearts and minds of the internal and external stakeholders , not simply reinterpret a complex message . With open minds we were able to discover something so simple in the data which was essentially
the emotional core of our story . Once this had been found the rest of the project could be envisaged and created without hesitation - the rest of the story told itself . We brought our ideas to the executives the next day and they were on board instantly . The campaign was rolled out and generated more funding in the first month than their previous five campaigns . Approach I have often thought since : were we just lucky to come across this story , or would we have been as successful had we employed another approach ? What was needed in this instance was a story to bring together the separate stakeholders , and make something easy to understand . We did n't start with a solution in mind , and difficult as it was , we refrained from jumping to the end of the story before we had begun . This was design thinking before I knew what design thinking was . I believe that we could have come to a very different conclusion had we workshopped with the executives and separately with a customer focus group . If we used mind mapping we may have found other ways to satisfy both audiences that we had not considered . But I am satisfied that our approach was right for this project , and it opened my eyes to the possibilities that present themselves when we allow them time and space .

Many people when visited to supermarkets have a budget in their mind for the shopping . They calculate amount of every item purchased in their phone calculator or approximate it in their mind . It becomes hard to calculate a lot of purchased .
Visualization is about using images . It ’s not about drawing ; it 's about visual thinking . It pushes us beyond using words or language alone . It is a way of unlocking a different part of our brains that allows us to think nonverbally and that managers might not normally use .

Challenge and selection ,
In my workplace understanding the clients is the toughest part , as sometimes they have a specific idea in mind , while us designers have another . Using visualization techniques prior to starting the actual task eliminates the difficulty of trying to understand each other and rather puts us on the same page . By starting out with a rough sketch and adding some colors and simple designs , this helps the job flow smoother and go on time .
Application
Before stating any project , I conduct a meeting with my client to understand exactly what it is they ’re looking for and I look through the examples I received from them . I then begin searching for some samples and start to make my first draft and then request another meeting , this is to be sure that I ’m going on the right track to completing the project .
For any project received , I have to decide if the project can be handled by one person or requires more people in order to finish it efficiently and on time . If it ’s simple job I work on it by myself by conducting meetings and discussions with client until we come upon an agreement for the end result . If the project is big and requires a team to work on it the we start brainstorming together to come with a solution then distribute the work accordingly .
Insight & Approach What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that the sketches and the note that I got from the client and from the team is important for reinforcing their understanding of the problem that we 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 . 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 .

The photographic project and visualization as a strategy of design thinking
CHALLENGE & SELECTION
My experience of applying design thinking comes from a area that is not linked to business
development , but to the area of teaching in a Graphic Desigh School where my students require my
couching in the development of graphic design products and photographic images .
In one of the basic courses of photography students must develop a photographic series that must
have coherent unity in theme and in the use of the visual language . Participants in this workshop
have little or no experience in photography and can use any photography device .
To achieve the objectives visualization is key through the whole process , we use the combination of
prototyping - visualization processes , development of concepts of design criteria and brainstorming-
ideation . We work in teams of 3 to 5 participants . All this is actually a combination of an iterative
process where divergent and convergent thinking is used in the project development .
In the present presentation , due to the limitations required , I will focus on three phases where we
select tools of Design Thinking which we denominate with other names , however , I will point out its
relation with the tools as they are denominated in the material of Designing for Growth .
APPLICATION
In the first stage which we have called " thematic - technical exploration process " , the students try to
learn about the possibilities of the photographic medium for the development of an idea or theme
freely chosen by them ( What is ? ) . The participants make several photographic shots approaching
the subject or object of study using directly the photography device they have available , allowing
them through the rapid photographic capture to learn in a visual way as much as possible about the
possibilities and technical difficulties of the chosen subject , which they have to show periodically to
his or her group allowing the visualization of the particular interests .
The previous phase leads them to the understanding of a series of key elements of the visual and
technical aspects of the project which allows the participants of the group to understand the
aesthetic possibilities and thus organize that information in a way that should lead them to the
description of the possible visual criteria of the project . ( Value analysis ) .
The group then carries out brainstorming to develop ideas that can help the accomplishment of
their partner 's project . They do this by searching what we call " visual references " with their own
photographic works and especialy with visual examples developed by various photographic authors
which allow them to shed light on to how to develop the project of their partners in a way that can
conform to the technical and aesthetic possibilities of the projects presented and discussed . This
process allows them to develop key aesthetic and design criteria ( Concept Development ) .
INSIGHT AND APPROACH
One of the things I have learned is that at the beginning of the process it is necessary to overthrow
in the participants the expectations they may have of wanting to frame the possibilities of the
project without , beforehand , openly and without prejudice , to explore those possibilities .
Photographic devices , whatever they are , are excellent tools for discovering things in the world that
one may not have seen before . The process , more than to look for , it is a process of discovery . Then ,
sharing these visual findings in several cycles of conversation with colleagues and discussing the
possibilities , develops the understanding of the aesthetic - visual and technical problem of the
projects .
On the other hand , the fact that , in many cases , there is a good amount of common key elements
that arise in the various projects , it is possible to enrich the analysis of their aesthetic - visual values
as well as enrich , in the colaborative atmosphere , the search for " visual references"(visual
brainstorming ) that can become possible solutions .

One of the things I like the most is music , but there is a very big step from just enjoying it to being able to do it through an instrument , when I wanted to learn to play drums I was a child and it was quite difficult not only to understand the rhythmic figures and how to They related to my movements but also the fact that each of my limbs had to perform a different activity at the same time , I felt like my head was going to explode . Without knowing it , I used one of the techniques to be able to associate these needs when playing this instrument and understand many of its elements more easily . Some time after having learned I had the opportunity to impart this same knowledge and the doubt arose again , how to imply the same thing that was so difficult for me to others .
Selection & Application
This is where I remembered what visualization was and still is of great help to me , since I have no training in teaching , I decided to look for some guides related to learning and how to include these visual and interactive experiences with children , so that I took different musical concepts to teach and represented them in a graphic and friendly way with which to interact to learn this very difficult task of starting on an instrument . In this way , many of them not only understood and advanced more in the development of their skills , but even later they could remember those images and associate them with new topics taught .
Insight
Well , the result of this was gratifying when compared to my experience learning as a child , a course of great mini - musicians full of joy and excitement at the time of interpreting their instrument in the best way even after a short time , this This tool is quite useful for learning and not only that , but also for the development of imagination , so it made me think that many times educational systems are squared and boring , making the interest and curiosity of students just a secondary factor in their learning , when this is what provides the awakening of knowledge and advancement , not only in the music but in many other aspects .
Approach
Finally I believe that this tool can be applied to many other areas , but in my case it is an excellent resource when applied in the challenge of teaching , I think that in some way it could be integrated with storytelling , not only to teach but also to maintain an energetic spirit with a desire to learn .

Well , the result of this was gratifying when compared to my experience learning as a child , a course of great mini - musicians full of joy and excitement at the time of interpreting their instrument in the best way even after a short time , this This tool is quite useful for learning and not only that , but also for the development of imagination , so it made me think that many times educational systems are squared and boring , making the interest and curiosity of students just a secondary factor in their learning , when this is what provides the awakening of knowledge and advancement , not only in the music but in many other aspects .
Approach
Finally I believe that this tool can be applied to many other areas , but in my case it is an excellent resource when applied in the challenge of teaching , I think that in some way it could be integrated with storytelling , not only to teach but also to maintain an energetic spirit with a desire to learn .

CHALLENGE AND SELECTION :
The tool used to solve my problem is mind mapping.mind mapping always allows meaningful learning.the problem taken by me is the unemployment among graduates in India.the main reason for the problem is increase in number of graduates passing out every year . The problem is faced as many of them are choosy job seekers and ther is also lack of skills and experience and the quality of education . This also leads to economical problems in India . I chose mind mapping as a tool as we can get a creative solutions through it . All data information and can be easily communicated only in mind mapping . It is looking for patterns and insights in large quantity of data through exploration .
APPLICATION :
During the period of rapid growth in the labour force , it would be advisable
to adjust the choice of techniques consistent with the employment objective . Intermediate technology would be more suited to Indian conditions .
Experience of planning has revealed that the overcrowded metropolitan
centres have received a large share of investment . Therefore , the smaller towns should be developed as new growth centres for the future . The establishment of small industrial complexes can increase employment opportunities and provide flexibility to the economy.deacreae in underemployment in rural areas can also be a solution . Education system can be developed in rural areas . Experience of planning has revealed that the overcrowded metropolitan centres have received a large share of investment . Therefore , the smaller towns should be developed as new growth centres for the future . The establishment of small industrial complexes can increase employment opportunities and provide flexibility to the economy .
Development of quality education is a prerequisite for the development of a nation as it is the remedy for all problems including the problem of unemployment in the country . There can be change in insutrial techniques . More employment exchanges should be opened . Information regarding employment opportunities should be given to people . Productivity of labour must be increased . Most people in India are self employed . They are engaged in agriculture , trade , cottage and small scale industries etc . These persons should be helped financially , providing raw materials and technical training .
INSIGHT AND APPROACH :
Profiling is a way of approach to decrease unemployment . Profiling may be carried out in many ways : from systemic solutions that provide for standard profiling of all unemployed and dividing them between a small number of profiles , to actions taken at the level of selected groups or selected labor market participants . Profiling may also be used to determine the rules of cooperation between the public and private labor service providers : the unemployed then have the opportunity to receive support from such an employment market participant who is able to provide the support aligned with their needs to the highest extent possible .
Opening the market of activation measures for the unemployed and of finding employment to private companies , through establishing flexible conditions on e.g. periods of employment , remuneration paid to the operator . An individualized approach to providing employment agency services towards the representatives of individual groups . Partnership for jobs can also increase employment .
In this way our team approaches the unemployed . This can increase the employment and job resource in India . Economy of India can also be balanced .

Challenge
In my controversial Russian business community , visualization is an unknown tool I 've used . I work in a gas station network . Despite the fact that the retail price of accompanying goods is cheap , more than 90 % of drivers in Russia buy only gasoline in gasoline stores . That is why the average cash receipt for accompanying goods , such as coffee , water , food , never exceeds the level of 100,000 rubles per one Petrol shop . This is a big mystery of our local gasoline market . No one can find the answer to this strange behavior of the client . The price of joint product is cheap , the fast food is fresh , advertising and merchandising of the shop looks great . We conducted many surveys of drivers , but could not explain this strange behavior . The local goal of my team is to increase revenues from joint products . In light of this fact , we have to find some solution to increase sales .
Selection
Let me explain , why I have chosen this tool . Unfortunately , the usual brainstorm did not give a result . I 've seen a great course in design thinking . A new idea woke me up . It is how to find new approaches to solving marketing problems . My team can find a breakthrough by drawing pictures . It seems that the reason for the unusual habit of customer filling stations easy and clear . We just have to change our approach to the invention and look at the question in a different way .
Application
First of all I assembled a working group . To solve such problems , my colleagues and I usually meet together . We seated on meeting room . Each of us took the felt - tip pen with unique color . One participant had red felt - tip . Second college had green , etc . We started draw the way of the driver in gasoline shop . Step by step . First point was entry by car . Second point was refueling queue . Third point was car refilling process . Then a driver visited a cashier . Finally he left gasoline shop . Before the driver left the station , he had seen shelves with accompanying goods . Then we began to draw the process of moving the consumer through the trading hall of the shop . We examined how the consumer moves from the cash register to the exit door . How the consumer moves from the fridge with water to the toilet . Everyone could draw a picture on the Board . One painted men . The other drew arrows . The third drew water bottles . It was fun and unusual . First of all visualization allowed us to see what we did not see before . Furthermore , I believe that these colored lines and simple images on the flipchart helped my team to invent new ideas . The right - hand traffic route allows you to find an excellent area for sales . In this place we can put the best - selling assortment . Moreover , we have found ideas for the search for new products . For example it was hand wipes and hygiene items . It is obvious that the consumer has a need for cleaning hands after refueling . Drawing pictures pushed us to the marketing idea of these napkins . We invented driver ’s napkins and towels for car passengers . This product did not different special characteristics . The improvement was the label only and cardboard design of shelves . We were able to do it quickly . Literally in one day we saw their rising sales . It was unusual and exciting . I know now . This will be our chance . My team renamed part of the goods in goods for drivers and their passengers . Soon our shops will see how this affected for the accompanying good sales . I hope we found one of the causes of consumer behavior in gasoline station . Consumers can not overcome the psychological barrier . They believe that the gas station should only be sold something related to the driver . Why not help them with new products . And I believe that visualization on the flipchart increased design thinking of my team .
Insight
After this example , it became clear to me that the standard method of meetings and the search for solutions was insufficient . It is obvious that it is necessary to study any question concerning marketing not only with formal logic . Visualization provides a source for finding new ideas and solutions . It became clear to me that the brain began to work differently . Visualization made it possible to include more imagination resources .
Approach
Work as a marketing specialist involves finding solutions every day . We usually focus on numbers and accurate data . There will be new challenges tomorrow . It will be how to increase the frequency of purchases . I am sure that I will begin to solve the goal with the visualization tool . I usually use report data when making a decision . This is information from CRM system . It is also feedback from shop sellers . Or it can be a market research data . It does not matter . Next week , I 'll meet the whiteboard and the color marker . I will start to paint the icons of the stations and miniature cars and types of shelves . Thank you for the design thinking course .

Challenge and Selection
Two months ago , I decided to become an entrepreneur . Some partners and I started a project which became a technology start - up . We studied Mechatronics Engineering and love advanced technology , therefore , we decided to provide artificial intelligence solutions as the main services / products in the company .
This sounded great , however , the real world requires a problem to be solved and people who are willing to buy whatever we sell . Then , we decided to do some research and found how other countries used tools based on this technology in order to solve a large amount of problems , from medical diagnosis to advanced targeted advertising .
What we are aiming is to have a service oriented to applied data science and another one for devices and machines that can help many kinds of industries to perform really specialized tasks . Nevertheless , despite of the boom that data science and artificial intelligence has in developed nations , in my , people do n’t seem to like applying that kind of technology , maybe because they are not aware of it and think they do not need it in their business .
In order to identify if our ideas would succeed and if people have the needs that we are assuming , we decided to do a small learning launch , not providing the real service but trying to sell the idea and our services to some companies . This tool would help us in order to test our hypothesis and fail fast if needed .
Application and Insight
We made an appointment with a medium size manufacturing company that sells rubber products , asking for their time and help in order to know more about their problems and needs . We went to the factory and received a complete tour , including a detailed explanation of their processes and main problems . After the tour , we presented our ideas to some executives , including the chief officer . Later , they told us some feedback that allowed us to find all the insights that we needed .
What we found from the point of view of the company ’s needs was that there are many problems related to handmade tasks which required a lot of precision and are the bottleneck of some of the processes . This kind of trouble can be attacked using devices with artificial intelligence embedded . By the other hand , they are not digitalized at all and there is plenty of data that can be collected and used for data analysis , so that they are able to have a better control and predict many useful variables in order to increase productivity .
What we noticed with the executives was some rejection when we talked about technology , they were interested in increasing the efficiency and knew that data is really important , but they think that artificial intelligence and data science ca n’t solve their problems and it sounds more like science fiction .
All this knowledge made us confirm that there is some rejection to A.I. Sadly , we realized that this repulsion can be bigger than we thought , even though administrative people are aware of what is important in order to increase productivity . However , we discovered that there are many areas of opportunity where our solutions can be applied .
Approach
This learning launch helped me to understand more about the market and its needs , it also saved time and provided me the insights needed to adapt my ideas . Next time I will use a Journey mapping to understand more about the specific problems that we saw last time .

In my work as a consultant , helping companies in the design and documentation of their processes , it is a very common challenge to know what the director of the company wants to achieve at the end of the consulting process . Directors often think that the best practices implemented in other companies will work perfectly within their own and on many occasions , they may be in error that can affect the direction of their organization . Therefore , to know what the company wants to achieve the use of the mind mapping tool , it is very useful because it allows the interaction of different actors to find a direction and define a common work objective .
Application
A few years ago , I was doing a consulting process in a small service company and the director wanted to document his processes , but he was not very clear about what his organizational processes were , therefore , to help him focus his objective and achieve a process of successful consulting , I proceeded to bring together the entire team of the company , from coordinators to operational positions and we began an exercise that took three days to complete .
Each one was asked to write what their work was within the company , how they generated value from their job , and if they believed that their activities were important for the development of the activities of their colleagues , these responses were placed on a board , which we began to read aloud and group them according to the type of activities in common . In the same way , they began to make relationships with all the groups of activities , asking “ if I do n't do this task , can I do this other one ? ” , “ Is this task really necessary ? ” , “ Can I unite these two tasks into one ? ” . Doing a debugging process , discarding what did not generate value , and adding new elements that would complement what was reflected on the board
Insight and Approach :
At the end of this debugging process , there were six groups of related activities left on the board . These six groups would translate into the six processes that govern the company , therefore , there was an answer as to what the director wanted to standardize . So with this question solved , I was able to carry out the consultancy ; I helped the director to document his processes so that they would serve as a guide to build management boards and thus carry out better management within his company .
I consider that the mind mapping approach is optimal in these situations because it allows the integration of teams and the understanding of each person 's conception of the company and its work , producing satisfactory results . Therefore , I would continue using this approach , because it is very useful in all change and improvement processes of companies by helping to outline the objective to be achieved .
In a future opportunity , I would continue using mind mapping , I believe I have had success with this tool , however , I would combine it with more visualization elements to make the whole process of generating ideas and defining results more dynamic .

In a future opportunity , I would continue using mind mapping , I believe I have had success with this tool , however , I would combine it with more visualization elements to make the whole process of generating ideas and defining results more dynamic .

Challenge
Being a culinary enthusiast and a food fanatic ever since I was a child , I always thought of staring
up a new food venture . But every business and success starts with baby steps , so did I. I created a
food blog on Instagram and Wordpress website . At first it was challenging for me , with no prior
experience in the online platform and building a website , no professional camera and no idea of
how all this blogging thing works . I was intimidated while creating the account , thinking whether
I will fit in the food blogging industry or not , can I gather enough followers and can I grow and
achieve my goals or not .
All these were going in my head , until I came up with my own ways to create and write content to
attract viewers on my food blog named Tabs Table . And it all happened because of my serious
level of brainstorming , mind mapping , online researches and inspirations from the greatest chefs
in the world .
Selection
Now speaking about the tool selection to achieve the goal I met . I selected Mind Mapping Tool
to bring my objective in reality . Besides , I use this mind mapping tool while doing my projects
and assignments and this is most effective and successful tool I could ever use . It greatly
helps / helped me to reach my target and finish my tasks . As we know , mind mapping is about using
visual diagrams to show the relationship between ideas from our mind and information . My ideas
were about aesthetic food presentation , Instagram feed layout , Wordpress website layout , food
photography , recipe write up , and content writing and so on . Using my to - do lists and sticky notes ,
I pictured in my head and notebook of how my food blog will display to my viewers and what
categories I will be posting . Hence mind mapping was a great help in taking my blog to another
level !
Application
So to apply this mind mapping tool I used note taking technique to guide me what I am going to
achieve in the coming weeks of my blog . I brain stormed new recipes and customized them to
make my own with secret twists , visualized how my website and Instagram feed will look like
with designs and themes , researched about keywords , hashtags and mentions to get more traffic
and followers . After weeks of mind mapping , I executed the plan . I created content and post with
details about the type and origin of food with few sense of humours , vibrant colour background ,
effectively used the photography and editing skills , customized themes in Wordpress website and
Instagram .
Insight
Moving on to the insights , I would say it was success using this mind mapping tool . I gained new
followers amounting to 700 plus , my viewers of Wordpress website increased , my Instagram food
blog reached placed and gathered traffic and got many positive feedbacks and reviews from other
food bloggers both locally and international . Also got invitations for collaborations and food
tasting from local restaurants and bloggers . I also improved my content writing in which viewers
and readers can find it interesting to read , and thankfully I got great feedbacks and appreciations
regarding my content writing .
Approach
As I achieved this small goal , I have a plan to take my culinary journey to another level . Keeping
my mind mapping tool in hand , I also intend to use the Learning Launch tool in future . As we
know Learning Launch process is used to grow a business , I will be using it for the same reason . I
hope to grow my blog into a business , maybe an online food delivery or a restaurant . This is how
I will be doing differently by using the Learning Launch tool because it gives a business an
opportunity and has potential growth , it is also less risky and affordable way of testing new ideas
and bringing innovation .
I would like to thank Coursera for this exciting and engaging course which I believe will greatly
help in my food blogging journey . Much needed for the techniques and tools to use for design
innovation , it was a great learning experience .

TOOL – LEARNING LAUNCH
I am working with marketing team at startup called ACPS , which believes that the education system in India needs a major reform in their approach towards the concept of education . Hence , the company developed an app called ‘ HOTS ’ – Higher Order Thinking Skills , which focuses on developing fundamental learning abilities in students such as pattern recognition , problem solving , comprehension , logical reasoning , etc . rather than just simply memorizing texts and focusing on scoring marks in exams .
Challenge & Selection –
Being a startup the company had no brand recognition and hence it was unviable to sell a subscription based application without generating some brand awareness first . What the company needed was thorough market research in order to understand its target audience and to curate the application to their requirements . The Company also needed people to understand what they were attempting to achieve with this app and how beneficial it would be for their child ’s development . In order to tackle this , we used the ‘ learning launch ’ tool in order to get a better understanding of our target market and also create brand awareness in the process .
Application –
The idea was to conduct summer camp workshops in over 200 apartments across the city , where we would conduct fun quizzes , competitions and games for kids and also give a couple of demo classes in each apartment . With each summer camp we ensured that we strongly advertised our brand and collected maximum feedback from parents . We also sold toys , photo frames and t shirts that were subtly branded . The whole process was a pretty big upfront investment for the company but it definitely achieved its objective as we were able to collect very huge amounts of data which would further improve the app .
Insight & Approach –
The workshops were conducted for about 6 months at the end of which we had a clear understanding of what resonated with the crowds and where we needed improvement . After the workshop we redesigned the app ’s layout and structure to make it more appealing . From the feedback collected from parents we were able to determine a pricing strategy and also added a couple more learning skills which were in demand .
The workshops served as a prototype business model for us , with the help of which we were able to recreate the experience virtually through our app and reach out to millions of potential customers .

In the book authored by branding expert Bruce Turkel , titled All About Them , he makes a case for considering the needs and pain points of the customer when marketing to them . We need to shift our messaging and talk about how our clients may benefit from what we have to offer , more than just list our service offering on our website or in our presentations . Before we do this , we have to begin by understanding who our customers are and what their needs are . Selection I selected the visualization tool as I felt it would help us think more deeply about our clients and prospects so that they inform the products and services we design to meet these needs . As of this writing we ’re living through the Covid-19 pandemic . Technology has changed the way we live , work and play and at no time has this been more evident than now . Our clients are not just looking for solutions to help them move the needle in the right direction ; they ’re also looking for innovative , digital solutions that are efficient in their delivery , high impact and measurable . Application I created a stick figure of a ‘ client ’ representing current and prospective clients . I mapped the client to services we offered – ‘ The What Is ’ and added sections ‘ What Wows ‘ and ‘ What we should offer ’ for my team members to complete . I thought it would be a great way to crowd source perspectives from them , which are valuable since they work directly with our clients . Insight The exercise confirmed that our clients are marketing - focused , with many of them holding sales and marketing positions . They ’re interested in not only raising awareness , creating thought leadership and enhancing their reputation – all things we do for them ; they also want solutions that will help stimulate sales and identify new and innovative methods to reach today ’s consumer . We recognize we can not be all things to all clients , so there are services that we have to outsource , but not lose sight over , as that ’s an easy recipe for losing our client ’s trust . There are services that we identified as part of this exercise that are not far removed from our current offering , such as research and insights , online events and webinars and the delivery of punctual strategic media partnerships . I will be revamping our website and ensuring it ’s updated with these services and offerings . Approach If I had to do this again , I would love to be able to crowd source this information directly from clients and prospects , but it ’s a time commitment that I could not ask of them during today ’s challenging times we ’re living in during the Coronavirus pandemic .

CHALLENGE I am the manager of a small company based in Cameroon , specializing in custom - made suits . And our big challenge is to bring the experience we offer in the workshop , IRL , with sartorial experts who know how to advise customers , reassure them and demonstrate our expertise , to our customers who contact us online . We must succeed in reassuring customers who contact us online about the quality of our products , the creation process and the seriousness of the brand . We have named this project : A TAILORING EXPERIENCE . The customer must be able to make an appointment in complete serenity , knowing that they will be listened to , advised and will leave the process with a product that fully satisfies them : from the online contact to the delivery of the finished product , including the taking of customer measurements . The actors we have gathered for this challenge : the workshop manager and master tailor , the operations manager , the inventory manager , the IT developers , the marketing and sales manager , our main fabric supplier and the finance manager .
SELECTION The tool we used to set up our project was Visualization , or Visual Thinking . We needed to have a clear understanding of the different points of interaction with customers and stakeholders in this experience . Each customer touch point should be able to show which tools were the most appropriate , whether to develop new ones or improve the existing one , and most importantly , how to materialize them offline and online . This allowed us to reach a common understanding of a problem space among a diverse group of stakeholders before trying to identify and define possible solutions to the problem . Objective : to reassure the client both OFFLINE and ONLINE about the quality of our work , our expertise and the seriousness of our company .
APPLICATION We applied visualization starting from the customer journey . We already had information about the personas we wanted to serve and what their pain points were . Now , the question was to be able to understand exactly how the customer behaves once in contact with us , and how to provide the best service at each entry point . We 're a small organization , so we could n't do full groups , so each manager had to take on the role of their department , and give their opinion on the different touch points . The customer journey for us can be summarized in a few points : 1 - Contact on social networks : what action do we want from the customer ? 1 " - Contact on our website : what action do we want from the customer ? 2 - Explanation of the need and making an appointment 3 - Measurement of the customer 4 - Styling : Validation of materials , cut and finishes 4 - Making of the clothes 5 - Fittings ( 1 or more ) 6 - Delivery .
We used a large white board on which we marked the different steps with drawings showing the interactions and the people or tools involved .
We gave everyone post - its . The problem being posed at the top of the board : To live a unique and reassuring experience from start to finish . At each point : We asked 5 questions that everyone had to answer . I , as the founder and manager , refrained from answering , letting the team exchange freely without being biased by my ideas .
- What is the action expected from the client ?
- How do we ensure that the client takes the next step ?
- What question can be answered before it arises ?
- Who would be the best person to talk to ?
- What tool would be most appropriate for this exchange ?
I left 30 minutes , then we posted the different answers under each step . This was done with as many drawings and graphics as possible . Then , everyone went to see the answers of the others posted . Then , we grouped the answers into 3 categories : REASSURE - RAISE SHADOWS - TAKE ACTION . Afterwards , a round table discussion was held to ask each person to explain how they saw their ideal customer journey , commenting on their choices for each stage , with drawings . We therefore retained 3 customer paths , a combination of different answers , which we summarized with the tools we could effectively put in place fairly quickly with our limited resources . And above all , the actions expected at each stage with the right interlocutors , and how the different stakeholders could contribute to improving the selected paths , the interactions , so that it would be the most fluid and transparent for the customer .
INSIGHT With this approach of visualizing the problems , we have allowed everyone to feel concerned and to realize the impact of each one in the interactions with the final customer for the best possible experience . We quickly realize that each department has different constraints , and the fact that everything is in front of us allows us to quickly take a more global view of things and feel more involved . For example , the master tailor quickly realized the challenge of marketing and sales , the information they need to reassure customers , and finance understands that we need to have inventory to propose items to the customer , and not go back and forth with suppliers . Because we need to be able to serve the customer with as little friction as possible , it saves time to everyone .
APPROACH Given the positive impact of visualization in the implementation of the different scenarios of our project , we will apply the principles of visualization on all our projects . We will include all stakeholders as early as possible to ensure that we really innovate in our solution . We will be able to raise as many questions as possible . Moreover , the design thinking approach with the customer journey is essential to understand the customer 's needs , and there is nothing better than asking them directly , and asking them to visually describe what they expect from a tailor . This provides essential information to build customer journeys that they value and products that effectively meet their needs . This way , each stakeholder has upstream real information on what the end customer experiences and expects .

APPROACH Given the positive impact of visualization in the implementation of the different scenarios of our project , we will apply the principles of visualization on all our projects . We will include all stakeholders as early as possible to ensure that we really innovate in our solution . We will be able to raise as many questions as possible . Moreover , the design thinking approach with the customer journey is essential to understand the customer 's needs , and there is nothing better than asking them directly , and asking them to visually describe what they expect from a tailor . This provides essential information to build customer journeys that they value and products that effectively meet their needs . This way , each stakeholder has upstream real information on what the end customer experiences and expects .

REDUCE BIKE ACCIDENTS AMONG TEENAGERS
CHALLENGE :
The real challenges of life are to lead a healthy life without any illness and
deformity . Modern era with the dependence on transportation to save time has
resulted in the invention and designing of high speed motor bikes to attract the
younger generation . Riding a bike with decreased incidence of accidents is a
challenging event in the roads of developing countries as well in developed
nations .
SELECTION :
The selected challenge of reducing the bike accidents among the teenage
groups in developing countries is a major tool . Reducing the accidents through
the speed arrest or speed control tools in bike is a challenging field for the
manufacturer and as well to the customers . Designing and assembling a tool to
reduce speed arrest as a kit into motor cycle while manufacturing is a major
challenge and so far none has done this . Fitting of Speed arrest kit into bike can
reduce the incidence of road accidents because the vehicle will not be accelerated
for high speed and hence , the stabilization , applying of brakes uniformly to both
wheels , etc . , can be well controlled .
APPLICATION :
The speed arrest tool in motorbike can be designed according to the CC of
the engine because the motorbikes and scooters are manufactured in different
series of engine ranging from100cc to above 500 cc in racing bike sectors . The
range of speed of the vehicle can be controlled even on high acceleration with the
speed arrester fitted into the vehicle . Thus making the motor bike or scooter to
maintain only uniform speed will result in fewer incidences of road accidents .
INSIGHT AND APPROACH :
The idea of reducing the speed of motorbikes and racing scooters was from
the series of road accidents among the young generation in developing nations is
worth for research . The teenagers should be guided the bikes are for
transportation which can reduce the burden of travelling in the modern world .
The bikes on the road are not for racing and no racing events are held on the road
hence , no need for racing . The importance of the life should be validated than
racing for fun .
ORGANISATION :
The designing of speed arrest , prototyping , experimenting and validating
with research on loss of life in road accident by the automobile sector with keen
evaluation will result in development , usefulness , importance of the product . The
automobile industry should invest in their R & D laboratory considering the safety
of its customers .

Challenge I am part of a team which evaluates new capabilities and products which should be built by my Technology company . The challenge for our team has been to promote innovation in the organization and get more people to participate in the process along with their regular jobs . The objective is to generate new capabilities on a consistent and scalable basis . While my organization has products which are well received in the market place and are cash cows , recent technological changes and advances have made innovation a core objective .
Selection I selected Learning Launch as the tool to tackle this challenge , and the primary reason was the need to create lots of fast and cheap experiments , and have this percolated to all levels of the organization . While the other thinking tools are appropriate for parts of our challenge , but does not address the need for enterprise - wide participation .
My primary reference is the Learning launch video lecture by Marco Klein in Week 4 .
Application Our team created and announced a company- wide Hackathon event , framed the rules of participation and decided evaluation criteria . Employees were allowed to spend 10 % of their working time every week to prepare for this event . They were encouraged to work on products outside their daily work . Each self - selecting team should have a minimum number of cross- functional members , and the depth of their collaboration was one of the evaluation criteria . The core of this innovation was about understanding the customer ’s needs , their journeys and pain points they face . Each team had to take a few of these customer insights and create a hypothesis about how they will solve this problem . Most of the organization was energized and we witnessed nearly 100 different teams participating in this challenge . The first gate was about identifying which of these hypotheses / ideas were solvable , and had a large potential market to be captured . We had to keep a high bar here as the next step involved more resources , and many
teams qualified . The next step was actually creating a prototype which can be tested with customers , and their feedback and insights captured . These teams had to present their prototype to the Executives along with customer feedback and their insights . Finally , a handful of ideas were selected to be productized , and the remaining were kept for future usage .
Insight Learning launch is a valuable tool for us , and the customer insights has been especially useful . They were enthused as their opinion was sought and they had the potential to influence the product . Disconfirming facts have been very effective as they weeded out a lot of ideas which did not have sufficient depth of real data . Overall , our design thinking initiatives were very successful , and we can see the potential for more such tools to be used across our business .
Approach One of the issues we had was that people became really passionate about THEIR idea , and the rejection was not taken up well . We need to
educate the value of generating ideas even if they do not get selected . All people involved in this exercise should be celebrated in a much better way . The other issue was that the challenge was defined very broadly , and so we had people participating in areas which were completely outside their expert areas . In the future , we might focus the challenge around our existing product lines and add a few new products , as we need product owners to act as guardians .

Challenge and Selection
I am often employed to help companies at the launch phase of their products . One of the biggest challenges is that by the time I am brought in , companies have already invested a lot of time and money to craft their “ new ” product or experience . Usually they are looking for us to help them “ fine tune ” things like customer segments , marketplaces , geographies , key differentiators to highlight , etc . By the way , the video did a great job of explaining the problem with “ fine tuning ” thinks that do n’t work .
And because they have almost always done prior survey research to confirm customer interest in the new product , it can be very difficult on many occasions to report findings that do n’t match their expectations on certain dimensions . That said , I was very cautious to try not to fall into the confirmation bias trap as described in the video .
Application
I was fortunate to have the chance to inject what I learned in the Learning Launch tool in a current project which I just finished . Specifically , a major toy manufacturer employed my team ( which I lead ) , to explore the launch of more interactive retail experiences in the toy section of a major retailer . Their operating hypothesis and customer assumption was that these more interactive , playful experiences would cause children and parents alike to be more likely to spend time in the toy aisle and purchase more toys .
Just as mentioned in the Learning Launch video , we wanted to do this fast and cheap . So to test this hypothesis quickly , we identified a subset of six stores . More specifically , we chose three geographic markets , looking for two stores in each market with almost identical toy sales figures for the manufacturer . We then began by conducting rapid ethnographic interviews in homes and in stores with both parents and children .
Next , we employed a well - known design firm to create rapid prototypes of ( hypothetically ) more engaging experiences based on analysis and videotapes of our interviews . We then deployed the design firm to reconfigure three of the stores ( one in each market ) based on conversations with key client stakeholders , the design firm and my team . The client was really impressed with the design team ’s work and everything was progressing quickly and positively .
Insights
After the stores were reconfigured , we analyzed sales figures from the toy departments as well as video footage from store cameras for all six stores over a two week period . Much to our surprise , the control group actually came out ahead in terms of overall sales by a magnitude of approximately 15 % . As mentioned in the video do n’t be afraid to be wrong .
Our tentative finding – which seemed to be confirmed by video analysis – is that when you engage children in play , they become distracted and are less likely to “ shop ” and “ beg their moms for toys . ” I say tentative because this was a “ quick and dirty ” project based on rapid prototyping and should be validated on a larger sample .
But an accidental finding to emerge from the interviews was that when parents drag their kids along on other occasions – things like grabbing prescriptions after work – kids would ( naturally ) beg for toys . Interestingly , because parents are n’t focused on toys ( with the exception of Christmas and birthdays ) , they would often say things like “ OK , just do n’t anything more than $ XX , where XX was usually $ 10 , $ 15 or $ 20 .
This really hit home , because as noted in the video , while all ideas not necessarily good , there are always new ideas to surface .
Outcome and Approach
When I presented the findings , I tried to take an empathetic approach . I started by noting that we learned from our ethnographic interviews that when children accompany their parents to stores they tend to emulate their parents behavior . They basically become “ junior shoppers . ” But if you engage them with toys – such as the iconic train tables at Toys“R”Us – they quit shopping and start playing . It is obviously not easy to tell a client that their idea was “ wrong , ” so we had worked with the design team to be able to suggest newer aesthetic details without including “ engaging experiences . ”
Perhaps more importantly , we surfaced new ideas in the form of $ 10 , $ 15 and $ 20 purchases on random occasions . The client is now in the process od testing “ $ 10 toy bins ” in areas such as the pharmacy , etc ..

Challenge
I work in a logistics environment , where I am entrusted with handling the company ’s data while trying to make sense out of it . One of the common challenges in this environment is meeting and exceeding our business partners , more precisely , our customer expectations . To exceed customer expectations , we needed to maintain regular communications which discuss our business needs , processes , plans , forecast and as well as the customer ’s . Next , we have to make appropriate implementations and find out from our customers what they make of recent advancements , to determine their levels of satisfaction . Some of the key challenges that needed to be resolved included making timely deliveries , doing regular updates on shipments and stock reports and constant tracking of cargo to destination . Before taking on design thinking , there used to be constant complaints and a general sense of dissatisfaction from our customers on the above challenges , which made most of the employees demotivated and eventually lost focus . Various attempts , not related to design thinking failed to resolve this issues . There was a clear need to query every aspect of the organization and get to the root of all this challenges and complaints .
Selection
The above processes are interdependent and as such I figured that mind mapping was our choicest tool to exceeding the expectations of our customers and business partners . It could also create a unique sense of determination and motivation to my team members . This decision was arrived at after researching on various tools which compared their relevance to the business environment . The fact that a mind map allows us to scale and sift through various pieces of data and information to create meaning and useful patterns , meant that we had already found the first piece of the puzzle . Due to the nature of our business , we amass a lot of information and data which can be organized for different outcomes .
Application
From the large pool of data , gathered from daily operations reports , client ’s feedback system , partners and our analytics and research team , I was able to establish a team to sort through the data and establish all sorts of patterns and behaviors from all stakeholders . After an almost thorough and detailed analysis , patterns started to emerge and of notable concern was the following .
Maintaining constant communication channels , to provide regular updates , was a huge problem from within the organization and whose effects spilled over to most of our business partners , who in turn could not understand why we could n’t deliver as promised . The data also revealed that the kind of disconnect and lack of a smooth flow in information sharing , resulted in time wastage , lack of accountability , lack of motivation and as a result , presented a heavy burden in terms of detention and demurrage costs . Poor communication in our business is a huge problem which many , including our business partners fail to understand its cost implications .
All the information gathered from the data analyzed seemed to point at communication blunders running from little or no communication to excessive and confusing information . We also noted
that most communications were initiated internally by our team members and therefore , resolved to restructure our information processes , to enable us achieve our goal of exceeding customer satisfaction . Of importance to highlight , is the fact that we were unable to link our misfortunes to our business partners since every piece of evidence pointed to our own undoing .
Insight
Having held a detailed discussion and analysis , we invited our IT department to help create a new and centralized communications system . In the new system , a customer would make a request , like ask for shipping quotations from one point to the other and a unique channel would be opened . This request would be allocated to one person in the relevant department who would follow it up until we had a successful offer to ship .

### Input: Mind Mapping
Challenge
I work in a logistics environment , where I am entrusted with handling the company ’s data while trying to make sense out of it . One of the common challenges in this environment is meeting and exceeding our business partners , more precisely , our customer expectations . To exceed customer expectations , we needed to maintain regular communications which discuss our business needs , processes , plans , forecast and as well as the customer ’s . Next , we have to make appropriate implementations and find out from our customers what they make of recent advancements , to determine their levels of satisfaction . Some of the key challenges that needed to be resolved included making timely deliveries , doing regular updates on shipments and stock reports and constant tracking of cargo to destination . Before taking on design thinking , there used to be constant complaints and a general sense of dissatisfaction from our customers on the above challenges , which made most of the employees demotivated and eventually lost focus . Various attempts , not related to design thinking failed to resolve this issues . There was a clear need to query every aspect of the organization and get to the root of all this challenges and complaints .
Selection
The above processes are interdependent and as such I figured that mind mapping was our choicest tool to exceeding the expectations of our customers and business partners . It could also create a unique sense of determination and motivation to my team members . This decision was arrived at after researching on various tools which compared their relevance to the business environment . The fact that a mind map allows us to scale and sift through various pieces of data and information to create meaning and useful patterns , meant that we had already found the first piece of the puzzle . Due to the nature of our business , we amass a lot of information and data which can be organized for different outcomes .
Application
From the large pool of data , gathered from daily operations reports , client ’s feedback system , partners and our analytics and research team , I was able to establish a team to sort through the data and establish all sorts of patterns and behaviors from all stakeholders . After an almost thorough and detailed analysis , patterns started to emerge and of notable concern was the following .
Maintaining constant communication channels , to provide regular updates , was a huge problem from within the organization and whose effects spilled over to most of our business partners , who in turn could not understand why we could n’t deliver as promised . The data also revealed that the kind of disconnect and lack of a smooth flow in information sharing , resulted in time wastage , lack of accountability , lack of motivation and as a result , presented a heavy burden in terms of detention and demurrage costs . Poor communication in our business is a huge problem which many , including our business partners fail to understand its cost implications .
All the information gathered from the data analyzed seemed to point at communication blunders running from little or no communication to excessive and confusing information . We also noted
that most communications were initiated internally by our team members and therefore , resolved to restructure our information processes , to enable us achieve our goal of exceeding customer satisfaction . Of importance to highlight , is the fact that we were unable to link our misfortunes to our business partners since every piece of evidence pointed to our own undoing .
Insight
Having held a detailed discussion and analysis , we invited our IT department to help create a new and centralized communications system . In the new system , a customer would make a request , like ask for shipping quotations from one point to the other and a unique channel would be opened . This request would be allocated to one person in the relevant department who would follow it up until we had a successful offer to ship . Once the first person did their part he / she would mark it as completed , leave comments and pass it on to the next person in the system , who would initiate the shipping process , and also pass the task along the operations chain . This channel would remain open to the relevant , parties at various stages , until the last step , which would be the receipt of payment after invoicing . Managers had the opportunity to monitor every activity and add inputs wherever they felt necessary . The system also filtered necessary information tailored in a unique way for every client and sent automated reports . Within the first month of implementation , we had made astounding discoveries . The system was amazing in many different ways . It provided a platform whereby customers would get a detailed description of arising issues which led or could have led to additional costs or savings and employees could maintain focus on numerous activities on their desks . It also provided a basis where individual performance could be measured and be held accountable for various outcomes . Managers could monitor productivity , plan and make worthy appraisals . The company could also align its marketing activities and budgeting more profitably .

Challenge
I am a senior Manager for projects in one of the largest ICT companies . Part of my key activities are to improve the ways of work in the Project Delivery Office . There has been concerns about the time it takes to address minor system changes and address the demand coming through the Project Delivery Office . We therefore need to look at ways to improve efficiency and meet the customer needs without compromising on governance .
The company has been using the waterfall project management and we embarked on a process to move from waterfall to Agile or Hybrid project delivery method . We therefore decided to pilot the Agile project delivery method to the business to test if it will work on not .
Selection
To embark on this journey and ensure that we can get feedback quickly we chose the Learning Launch design thinking tool . Due to the noise that was there in the organisation and the frustration our customers were faced with we believed the tool will be best suited and will assist in getting feedback quickly and implement the new ways of work .
Application
For the first learning launch we gathered a team together and socialised the proposed delivery method , the difference between the old and the new method and the benefit of moving from old to new . The team included the customer , Solution Architectures , Developers , Testers and Scrum Master . We started with the customer providing the problem statement , what they want to change and the benefits of the change . The customer enlisted all the requirements with the Solution Architectures asking relevant question to ensure that the requirements are will captured .
In the initial session a delivery team was then identified including Product Owner and Scrum Master and the ceremonies , that is Daily standup , sprint planning , sprint review and sprint retro .
The solution Architecture managed to put together the high - level system design and the minimum viable product that can be delivered through each iteration .
Initially there was a bit of resistance as the customer though the project was taking them away from their day - to - day operations having to meet daily . With time there was appreciation as the customer appreciated how quick changes can be made and being able to use the solution interactively .
After the initial pilot project there were lessons learned which we took to the second pilot project . The second project produced better results as the team applied the lessons learned and improved .
Insight
Using learning launch tool , the process provided us with an opportunity to learn in the process and ensure that the new ways of work will be accepted by the business . We had a better feedback from customer with the second project than with the first one . The customers appreciated the speed and agility of the new ways of work .
The learning launch tool proved to be effective as it provided sense of comfort to the business as they were involved in the process . The process dealt with lots of assumptions and uncertainties and provide evidence of what will work and what will not work in the type of environments that we operate in .
Through this process we were able to identify entry criteria for each project delivery method which will address any concerns that were raised .
Approach
Using the learning launch design thinking tool , helped the business to be able to make the decision quickly in adopting the new ways of work .
The process was more transparent and there was close collaboration between Project Delivery Office and the business .

DESIGN THINKING TOOL
VISUALISATION
1 | P a g e
DESIGN THINKING TOOL : VISUALIZATION
CHALLENGES AND SELECTION
Visualization is a technique for creating images , diagrams , or animations to communicate a
message . Visualization through visual imagery has been an effective way to communicate
both abstract and concrete ideas since the dawn of man . It is the first design thinking tool
used in this course .
It is a core component of the way that we communicate , whether we are aware of it or not .
When we are dealing with very complex problems , we are actually enacting a different kind
of problem . Visualization is really important in all fields and especially for the process of
design as it is a way of unlocking a different part of brain . It allows us to think in a nonverbal
way . Visualization allows us to access parts of our brain , parts of our creativity , that we
might not normally be using in our conversation . Most people will tell you , especially those
who are in the field of management i.e from business world , that they are not artistic and
they can not draw . Visualization is n't really about drawing , though . It 's actually about visual
thinking .
When we move on into pattern finding , that 's where we start to think visually . When we get
to concept development or designing something visualization becomes incredibly key .
Because concepts are literally coming out of our imagination . And our brain is creating
pictures of something that does n't yet exist .
APPLICATION
Visualization and expressing data is very mandatory thing to do while you represent your
idea . It is very important for the user to know what exactly you want to express . Visualization
today has ever - expanding applications in science , education , engineering ( e.g. , product
visualization ) , interactive multimedia , medicine , etc . Typical of a visualization application is
the field of computer graphics . The invention of computer graphics may be the most
important development in visualization since the invention of central perspective in
the Renaissance period . The development of animation also helped advance visualization .
2 | P a g e
The use of visual representations to transfer knowledge between at least two persons aims
to improve the transfer of knowledge by using computer and non - computer - based
visualization methods complementarily . Examples of such visual formats
are sketches , diagrams , images , objects , interactive visualizations , information visualization
applications , and imaginary visualizations as in stories . While information visualization
concentrates on the use of computer - supported tools to derive new insights , knowledge
visualization focuses on transferring insights and creating new knowledge in groups . Beyond
the mere transfer of facts , knowledge visualization aims to further transfer insights ,
experiences , attitudes , values , expectations , perspectives , opinions , and predictions by using
various complementary visualizations .
The use of visualization to present information is not a new phenomenon . It has been used
in maps , scientific drawings , and data plots for over a thousand years . Being in the field of
architecture we have to think a lot about our designs like how its façade will look ? , will the
plan work ? , if the design fulfill client need ? And lot more . First of all we imagine how our
building design is going to be if that design is not possible we still think of making it working .
This is known as Creative visualization .
Creative visualization , which is a mental technique that uses the imagination to make dreams
and goals come true . Used in the right way , creative visualization can improve your life and
attract to you success and prosperity . It is a power that can alter your environment and
circumstances , cause events to happen , and attract money , possessions , work , people and
love into your life . Creative visualization uses the power of the mind , and is the power behind
every success . By visualizing a certain event , situation , or an object , you attract it into our
life . It is a process that is similar to daydreaming . For some people , this might look like magic ,
but there is no magic involved , only the natural process of the power of thoughts and natural
mental laws . Visualization helped to visualize abstract forms of data such as directory or file
structures on a computer , the information content of books , hyper - text documents on the
web or other forms of abstract data i.e while thinking about some concept a blurred image is
formed in our minds which gives us an idea and helps to develop our concept .
We might utilize photographs at that point to make sure that we understand what the
concept is like . As we move forward into prototyping , we get much more detailed in the way
3 | P a g e
that we start to visualize . Then we create very complex diagrams , or maps of how we think
the customer experience ideally is going to work . As we have to design for client we have to
think like our client and before designing anything we have to know about client ’s
requirements .
INSIGHT AND APPROACH
What I have learned from this is that Pictures and images enable us to not only
help people understand what it is we 're trying to do , but to help really persuade them in the
worthiness of , that particular idea , or , the strength of , of that concept . So on the off chance
that I was presenting another administration and I was really depending on various
individuals in the field to , to have the capacity to convey this , this support of an arrangement
of clients . They have to see precisely how I expect this to function and I may utilize story
sheets , I may attempt to make visual situations . However , they have to comprehend what it
is we 're attempting to do as such that they can really make a powerful testing environment
for that thought . The exhortation I would provide for agents who were keen on enhancing
their perception abilities would be instantly , just to rehearse . It 's the sort of thing where once
you start to utilize the ability . What 's more , it can be a bit of scaring at first . In any case , I feel
that individuals will find that once they begin getting in the propensity for doing that , you
rapidly perceive how whatever remains of the room reacts to you when you get up and you
begin drawing .
I observed that the most valuable aspect is the shared insight and learning , in future also I
would prefer using this design thinking tool . As it makes easier to understand design
problems .

I work in a company where there is a big quantity of women on their thirties , the period when they usually have children . In my country the maternity leave is paid for 6 months to care for a new child and recover from childbirth . When the maternity leave ends and the women must back to work , they start to worry about how moms can balance work and family . Is a challenge for the company to find out how to deal with the needs of this importante and capable part of the workforce .
The challenge of my team is to find ways to improve those women quality of life at work , so they can be happier and more productive .
2 . Selection
After proceding ethnographic interviews and selecting formal quantitative data , our team used the tool of mind mapping to curate all the information and look for patterns .
We selected mind mapping because it allows a significant amount of stakeholders to join the design thinking process , with tends to make then more engaged with the solution .
Mind mapping was selected because is more visual than other kinds of reports and charts what makes the insights easily to be comunicated .
3 . Application
We started the mind mapping process selecting the group to participate . We decided to invite 25 moms divided in three groups :
Moms with grown up child – because they have already passed trought the inicial challenges ;
Moms with babies and toddlers – because they are passing trough the challenges ;
Pregnant – because they are thinking about their future challenges .
We distributed the ethnographic interviews results , the formal quantitative data , charts , graphs and materials produced with visualization techniques in a big room so everybody can see all material .
Each mom recieved a clipboard , a marker and sticky notes .
Than we started the application of the tool :
1 . Walk through the room observing all the material and to pick out what you think is
more relevant .
2 . Write on separate sticky notes the itens they believe might form new ideas . 3 . Group the sticky notes into themed .
4 . Start to share selecting themes and sticky notes related to the theme . 5 . Identify the insights . 6 . Generate the design criteria .
With the design criteria established , we wrote the design criteria in a chart and confirmed with all the participants of the session .
When the application finished , we took photos of the wall with the sticky notes and transformed the information in a digital mind map , so we can have access to the information inthe future if necessary .
3 . Insight & Approach
The application of the mind map was interesting because allows the participation of different grups with gave us differents points of view of the problem .
The visualization of the previous materials was very intersting so everybody could access all the information and start the session at the same poin of knowledge .
In my opinion , the more valuable aspect of the activity was the opportunity to share perspectives .
The engagement of the participants with the solution was a importante benefit of the use of mind map . In another design thinking process I will certain use mind mapping tool again .

The challenge of my team is to find ways to improve those women quality of life at work , so they can be happier and more productive .
2 . Selection
After proceding ethnographic interviews and selecting formal quantitative data , our team used the tool of mind mapping to curate all the information and look for patterns .
We selected mind mapping because it allows a significant amount of stakeholders to join the design thinking process , with tends to make then more engaged with the solution .
Mind mapping was selected because is more visual than other kinds of reports and charts what makes the insights easily to be comunicated .
3 . Application
We started the mind mapping process selecting the group to participate . We decided to invite 25 moms divided in three groups :
Moms with grown up child – because they have already passed trought the inicial challenges ;
Moms with babies and toddlers – because they are passing trough the challenges ;
Pregnant – because they are thinking about their future challenges .
We distributed the ethnographic interviews results , the formal quantitative data , charts , graphs and materials produced with visualization techniques in a big room so everybody can see all material .
Each mom recieved a clipboard , a marker and sticky notes .
Than we started the application of the tool :
1 . Walk through the room observing all the material and to pick out what you think is
more relevant .
2 . Write on separate sticky notes the itens they believe might form new ideas . 3 . Group the sticky notes into themed .
4 . Start to share selecting themes and sticky notes related to the theme . 5 . Identify the insights . 6 . Generate the design criteria .
With the design criteria established , we wrote the design criteria in a chart and confirmed with all the participants of the session .
When the application finished , we took photos of the wall with the sticky notes and transformed the information in a digital mind map , so we can have access to the information inthe future if necessary .
3 . Insight & Approach
The application of the mind map was interesting because allows the participation of different grups with gave us differents points of view of the problem .
The visualization of the previous materials was very intersting so everybody could access all the information and start the session at the same poin of knowledge .
In my opinion , the more valuable aspect of the activity was the opportunity to share perspectives .
The engagement of the participants with the solution was a importante benefit of the use of mind map . In another design thinking process I will certain use mind mapping tool again .

We have a team of engineers in our IT company that work on projects for mainly government customers . The government agencies that we provide services to are mainly responsible for ensuring that they can provide high quality services to the impoverished communities that they operate in .
Our main challenge is that we often face challenges motivating the team to ensure that when they spec their project they do not miss requirement or look at the problem from multiple angles since most of them are usually distanced from the end users of our products .
As such our main challenge is the inability of our engineering team to empathise with our end user and as such sometimes creates solutions that do not talk to our customer and as such lowers our customer satisfaction ratings .
Selection
The tool that I have decided to use to remedy the challenge that we had was Storytelling . It is a technique that I had seen producing greqt results before when used in similar situations to try and get the team to connect with the value that they are providing and to attach meaning to the work that we do . Many of the people that our agencies service usually do nt have the resources to fill in online surveys or go into service centres to lay formal complaints and give feedback on improvements to the services that they need and as such their point of view is seldom heard . Allowing these people a chance to tell their stories through either recorded interviews or face to face engagements allowed us some insights into thier daily lives and situations .
Insights & Approach
An amazing example of were we saw storytelling providing us with immerse value was in 1 example were we had a single mother come explain / tell us about her experience around what it takes her to bring her child in for a regular visit at a clinic . She explained how on days when she has to visit the clinic she would have to wake her and her 2 children up at 3:30am to go heat up water for bathing and food , how since her husband is usually away on work for weeks at sometimes there is no one to assist . That she would then have to walk both children up to 10 km to school before walking another 4 km to gett to the clinic . All of this effort only to find a queue at the clinic with people who had been there for hours already . Then by the time she gets her opportunity sometimes the nurses have run out of medication or they end up miss treating them cause they would have been working non stop for many hours sometimes without any lunch .
A new element that this approach have uncovered for us was that it was not only the end users that we had to solution for but that in other for us to make any meaningful impact , but that we also had to find innovative ways to solution for the entire value stream .
With this input we found that when given free reign to come up with innovative solutions the engineering team was able to fully grasp the scale and importance of the solution and come up with solutions that were both cost conscious and time sensitive .
They built scheduling systems that allow the clinic to set a schedule for which people should come when , they also built the ability to base this schedule based on the inventory of medicines that were available for various procedures .
The process and examples and tools that were provided in this course made gave the me the ability to see different ways to tackling the problem , and making a positive change in our communities .

1 . Challenge
The organization that I work for specializes in " Loyalty " programs , which in my country is a sector that has evolved very quickly , and over the 2 years since the launch , very good results have been achieved and an important recognition in the market .
The challenge is to implement a new channel of interaction that allows for more fluid communication with customers , which positively impacts their experience in each contact . The communication channel to be implemented is WhatsApp Business as a formal communication channel , but the challenge is to clearly define what the scope of this new channel will be according to the processes in the life cycle of the program and the requests made by customers ( Enrollment , Claims , frequently asked questions , user account management ) with the aim that this new channel may have a defined and specialized scope focused on what customers in a channel like WhatsApp really value most .
2 . Selection
When we were analyzing the different tools of design thinking , we identified that due to the progress that has already been made in the different stages and the knowledge that we have of our customers in the attention provided by the other channels of customer service , the Learning Launch is the tool indicated in this stage of the project with which we will quickly and economically test the hypotheses that we have raised and thus define the appropriate scope for the new WhatsApp channel .
3 . Aplicattion
Our Learning Launch process was considered in 2 stages : in the first stage , a list of transactions that could be attended by the WhatsApp Channel was defined in order to evaluate them in the Learning Launch and identify if the transactions that we consider in our hypotheses that would be the most appropriate for this new channel , if indeed they were those that the clients were requesting from us . For this test we defined that all the internal employees of the company will participate during a period of 15 days in order to have fast , economic and close results with a critical public . We established an internal communication channel so that they could send us all the feedback and opportunities for improvement and in this way make the necessary adjustments . We were able to obtain many feedbacks that helped us identify improvements in a timely manner .
Subsequently , we carried out a second phase with a second learning launch in which we included 300 VIP segment clients who were active clients in the Loyalty program , with whom we also established a direct communication channel so that they could share all their observations and comments , which allowed us to redefine some processes of the initial scope of transactions that would be served by the new WhatsApp channel .
4 . Insight
The experience in the application of the Learning Launch tool was very useful because it allowed us to experiment and contrast the hypotheses we had about the scope that the WhatsApp channel should have . Before the first stage , we were considering including the option of “ Enrollment ” to the program through the new channel , since it is one of the transactions that has the most impact on our telephone channel . But after the tests were completed , we were able to understand that as the “ Enrollment ” process is an activity that requires significant time to complete and because it has other channels enabled , such as the website , for this transaction in particular we were able to identify that customers preferred to register by the other established channels , while the whatsapp channel gave more relevance to interactions related to the FAQ´S , program information , password change and failure reports . According to the above , the scope was redefined and additional predetermined messages were adjusted , improving the customer experience in the new channel much more .
5 . Approach
The application of the learning Launch tool allowed us in a very agile and economical way to know in greater detail the needs of our clients when using a channel like WhatsApp and what it was that they really valued about attention through this channel . On a future occasion , he would be very aware of not falling into the “ trend of confirmation ” , since having considered the needs of clients taking as a reference information of the other channels , made us believe that through this channel they would demand the same transactions but we realized that this was not the case
Thank you very much for valuable learning .

Peer – Graded Assignment
First , we planned to put up a social service by providing people the best medical facilities . The most important step is visualization . We need to go and approach all the people and know what their problem is and what are the difficulties faced by them , instead of just assuming what the problem might be .
Then , our goal is to develop such an app where not only urban but also rural area people can access the benefits of our HealthCare Medical Facilities . Our company name is HealthCare Services and we not only provide them the best medical facilities but also well experienced doctors , door delivery of medicines .
The benefit of this is that both urban and rural area people can access all medical facilities but also get best available services . Our main aim is to provide best services , they might be available but we provide them better .

Challenge :
The Challenge was to design and understand the lifecycle of Rural Indian Women . Women have been out there in woods to gather the fuel from Forest . We intended to design a methodology to provide easy to use clean fuel at every doorstep . The idea was to reduce time & effort while equally providing clean fuel as it hampers respiratory organs . As women have kids & old folks to look after at home they can not spend travel much in contemporary times . While , equally important is to understand the movement from joint to nuclear families
Selection :
We intended use design thinking process to solve this concern . Of managing resources & making life easier for Rural women of India . Since , this is not a mathematical or linear program and involves deep concern for Human behaviour design thinking looks the best way to go for this case .
Storytelling is the tool we have opted for this Challenge . Storytelling helps in putting emotions to practive easily as learnt in week 2 of the course . Since , cooking fuel is one of the most basic human needs and it ’s access gives healthy nutritious meal to all . Understanding the story and emotions behind our challenge was most important . As they say , ther ’s a difference between solving a problem & creating a cause . Our motto was the later half of previpous statement .
Storytelling has two aspect - > Knowing yoru audience & the sequence of actions .
Application :
The set of core team assigned on the project consisted of people from all spheres – Manufacturing //Business//Social Responsibility//Finance . 3 groups were formed to travel to three different locations to gainer deeper understanding .
The team spent 3 full days at 2 nearby location for one & Half days each . Team A went to Himalayan Region in Uttarakhand . Team B went to Interiors of Chattisgarh in tribal belt . Team C went to Rajasthan in desert districts . The idea was collect multivariate understanding of the case .
The teams spent following the journey fo women folk from home to woods , the steps they undertake to gather the bio fuel & the process of coming back & utilising . Few team members stayed back at home & observed the situation while women were out to collect wood .
This helped the team to understand the audience , their motives their desires , their needs , their mental & physical expectations . While also helped them carve a clear timelines or sequence of the event . By the Way it took 2 hours everyday in this process & is several physical punishing processes .
Insight :
This team then met at a common location 7 drew out there learning in form of storytelling process to each other .
The biggest insight that came out was the seasonal effect of this process . During monsoons there is huge trouble .
Not only is the wood spoiled but also travelling time increases severely . alongside the smoke is very harmful to the body .
This left us with a very clear approach to reduce the time , the physical pressure & to be money saver for the Rural Women .
Approach :
The approach to this problem was storytelling & was very useful . But , looking in the hindsight the approach could have been changed a little bit .
We could have used the tool of journey mapping also as this included following the customer for full 3 days & understanding their working & functioning .

When you work on the beauty industry you can easily become shallow and superficial , until the point you do not really care about your team or the people that make it all possible , you are just focused on the customer , their needs and desires , because at the end you just want them to depend on your products and continually buy them . In the company I worked , at first our products had a great start due to their quality , however , after a couple of years sales instead of going up , fell drastically . When I started noticing this , I thought to myself , quality sells but does not engage . The first years we kept our clientele happy with the benefits of the products , but after that faded , we had no message , we did not even have emotion . That ’s why I selected storytelling as a tool for this challenge . Luis Ramirez said in the video that one of the most important elements in a brand is that it creates a cause , since it unifies , and it gives the company strength . If everybody is fighting for that cause , including customers there would be success , otherwise people are left with no purpose .
Application
When using storytelling the idea is to locate the most powerful part of your brand´s message and lean to it , make everyone involved and intrigue with it . The problem in my company was we did not have a message . Or if we did it was plain and not memorable . I even asked our beauty consultants ( the women and men who sell our products , they are the ones closest to the final customer ) , what they thought our message was , and most of them had no idea , or said that it was our great quality . I was devastated , we had built a company with no purpose . We had no story . Therefore , I decided to create a team that could think about what our product meant , what could they transmit other than just quality .
After a couple of weeks , we did not have a concrete message for the brand , but we did know that one of the main obstacles that we faced was that our team , specially those closest to our clients , were not emotionally involve with the product they were suppose to sell . How could our potential buyers feel anything if the people selling to them were not motivated by their own brand . We started to invest in our teams , we gave them beauty kits and trained them to take care of themselves . They could not be just operators , administrative or sellers , they had to have a beauty care routine , they needed to be passionate about our product , and they needed to have a lifestyle that reflected all the benefits of our products . With this in mind we gave them the tools to do it . So instead of directly approaching our clients , with started to build and tell our own team a story , which message was : the importance of investing on yourself must be always a priority no manner your job .
Insight and Approach
After this my company changed , it was not easy transmitting our new message to clients , but when consultants started changing their vision towards the brand and had clear what they were fighting for , customers were influenced too . I was surprised . I understood that emotions come from the inside of the company . I knew my customers but did not know how through my team keep a strong relationship with them . I think that at first , we did not create a sequence of events , we had the product and immediately jumped to sell our quality without building a story behind it . Now after many downs , I know that without a cause , you are just a car with no brakes , it means that at some point you will crash .
Additionally , to this tool , I guess I would have liked to implement the launch tool in which you build a diverse team that prevents you to be biased towards the decisions you make . My closest team are people that think really like me , I would have like to know that before launching my products , so I could have different views that maybe could have prevented the company to drive with no purpose . I thought I was doing the right thing , and no one disconfirmed me , and now I see I was biased with my products quality .
All above to say that with these tools I opened a really narrowed mindset .

### Input: Challenge and Selection
When you work on the beauty industry you can easily become shallow and superficial , until the point you do not really care about your team or the people that make it all possible , you are just focused on the customer , their needs and desires , because at the end you just want them to depend on your products and continually buy them . In the company I worked , at first our products had a great start due to their quality , however , after a couple of years sales instead of going up , fell drastically . When I started noticing this , I thought to myself , quality sells but does not engage . The first years we kept our clientele happy with the benefits of the products , but after that faded , we had no message , we did not even have emotion . That ’s why I selected storytelling as a tool for this challenge . Luis Ramirez said in the video that one of the most important elements in a brand is that it creates a cause , since it unifies , and it gives the company strength . If everybody is fighting for that cause , including customers there would be success , otherwise people are left with no purpose .
Application
When using storytelling the idea is to locate the most powerful part of your brand´s message and lean to it , make everyone involved and intrigue with it . The problem in my company was we did not have a message . Or if we did it was plain and not memorable . I even asked our beauty consultants ( the women and men who sell our products , they are the ones closest to the final customer ) , what they thought our message was , and most of them had no idea , or said that it was our great quality . I was devastated , we had built a company with no purpose . We had no story . Therefore , I decided to create a team that could think about what our product meant , what could they transmit other than just quality .
After a couple of weeks , we did not have a concrete message for the brand , but we did know that one of the main obstacles that we faced was that our team , specially those closest to our clients , were not emotionally involve with the product they were suppose to sell . How could our potential buyers feel anything if the people selling to them were not motivated by their own brand . We started to invest in our teams , we gave them beauty kits and trained them to take care of themselves . They could not be just operators , administrative or sellers , they had to have a beauty care routine , they needed to be passionate about our product , and they needed to have a lifestyle that reflected all the benefits of our products . With this in mind we gave them the tools to do it . So instead of directly approaching our clients , with started to build and tell our own team a story , which message was : the importance of investing on yourself must be always a priority no manner your job .

Challenge & Selection
I am a product design engineer , member of a manufacturing company in the automotive industry . Our clients are some of the top OEM ’s worldwide , therefore we compete against some of the market ’s world class suppliers . The quality and functionality of our product is always assured , which results proportional to the cost of our products . So here is the challenge , how can we lower our costs to make a solid impact on the market and make a statement with our current customers for their upcoming platforms ? The answer we came out was VA / VE ideas ( Value Analysis / Value Engineering ) , this are cost reductions whether making changes on current product and/or current process , seeking for a feasible cost saving , without affecting the product ’s quality .
The tool selected for this activity is the Visualization Tool , the main reason is because , as the video said , “ visualization is really the core component of the way we communicate ” . We needed to find the right way to transmit our ideas to the operations team , and more important , receive feedback from them , find the areas of improvement , that exist on the day - to - day process .
Application
We started the process by clarifying to ourselves the following questions : What composes a VA / VE idea ? How many types of VA / VE exists ? Which ideas can apply to our product / process ?
Then , we created a chart with the 10 Target Points we considered as opportunities that can exist in our process . We named each point as following and added a brief description of what it consists .
1 . Replacement : Component or material replacement by another of minor cost with the same
function and quality .
2 . Size reduction : Reduce component or part size / gauge dimension . Must affect the final
condition of the product to be deliver .
3 . Abolition : Eliminate a component / part without final product function affectation . 4 . Integration : Modified one component design to integrate two or more functions replacing
other part or components , and eventually eliminate .
5 . Communization : Implement one component or part , instead of other / s different product
with similar characteristics .
6 . Relaxation : Minimize acceptance criteria and spec . definitions . Could be dimensional
tolerances , coating requirements , test requirements , etc .
7 . Waste reduction : Reduce the material utilization for production process ( material ratio
improvements are not considered ) .
8 . Sourcing Change / Localization : Cost reduction related to tier I or II , replacement ,
changeability . Include Parts , Assy , Raw material , Std . parts ,
9 . Process improvement : Operational improvements , welding , assembly & coating process
with not affectation or changes in the product delivered .
10 . Logistics improvement : Improvements in material handling , internal and external logistics ,
modules , etc .
After determining which where going to be out target points , and applying this methodology internally on the design department , next step was making a workshop collectively with all the operations team ( stamping , assembly , quality , welding , logistics , commercial , etc . ) . We printed big posters with our Target Points Chart , one for each component that was intended to be reviewed on the workshop .
Additionally , we brought the physical components and prepared visual aids with their corresponding sub - assemblies . Then , we delivered sticky notes to each of the participants and explained them the VA / VE principle . We made three teams , every team was indicated to review each component as a group and leave sticky notes with their ideas or comments on the corresponding section of the chart , some of them even left additional sticky notes directly on the component , which was also acceptable . Every team consisted of a specialized member of each department ; therefore , we could warranty that we can consider the perspective and experience from every department on the activity .
Insight & Approach
The information obtained applying this tool on the workshop can not be compared to the original ideas we had with our regular methodology , not in quantity nor quality . For me , the biggest difference was the way the information was clarified . We gave the participants specific points to look at , clarification of each one , with examples and visual aids included , and a specific place to plasm their thinking . This helped us to manage easily the information and look at it from a point of view different than the one usually applied on the design department .
As lesson learned for further projects , the intention will be prepare more activities based on the same principle , but this time on a different stage of the process , rather than cost savings from current production , look for projects that are still on the implementation stage , attack this target points since the beginning . It ’s easier to negotiate with the customer at this stage , and obviously a bigger cost benefit is involved .

I am an officer of our School Organization named Junior Chamber International – National University Student Chapter . I am elected there as a Secretary , so it is very important for me to be able to use the visualization tool to let the other officers understand the plans of the organization more and for us to easily identify the possible solutions to the existing problems of the organization . I have once managed a whole event and I always use visualization tool to share my insights to the committees that I assigned to a work , they also make visualizations for their suggestions that will improve the event that we are planning to execute .
Application
I started the planning of the event by gathering the committees and other officers of the organization . Then , I started to make a visualization of what I want for the event to look like . I started drawing the set - up of the stage and other booths that will be functioning throughout the event . I explained everything that I want to happen for the event from start to finish so that we can identify the possible problems that the event may have and immediately make a solution , and then I let them interact with me with the use of visualization tool . They can edit what I draw on a whiteboard whenever they have a good suggestion . We always care for the welfare of the attendees ; we want them to experience a well - planned event . We continued making progress until we came up with the final plan .
Insight and Approach
The final plan is listed on a paper , we printed copies for the people that will be involved on the execution of that event for them to follow that throughout the event . Whenever we are having a problem during the event , we can act on it immediately because we also listed possible problems that we may encounter and the solutions for that problem .
I can say that through that visualizations that we shared to each other , we managed to achieve the goal of that event and we succeed .

As a Woks ’ Superintendent in the local municipality , the housing initiative falls directly under my supervision . At its core , the municipality endeavors to provide habitable housing units to the less - privileged members of the community at a cost not exceeding sixty thousand Pula ( P60 , 000.00 ) . Our challenge as Housing Department is to cope with high numbers of applicants that are eligible for the housing scheme ; something that we have not been able to overcome , resulting in backlog . One of the major reasons that hinder our efficiency is the sourcing of building materials since most candidates reside in very remote areas where there are no local suppliers . Now , my team that comprised of eight members from diverse professional background , including both civil and mechanical engineering , quantity survey , material science , finance and accounting and social work ; was assigned to find ways by which project delivery time could be maintained at the set ministerial operation standards of six months delivery period at most . No external support regarding human resource has been sourced ; we were all employees of the ministry . The project was expected to run for twelve months in order to cater for both research and prototyping . The team focused on discovering what team members and recipients of the project considered to be the challenge in that lead to untimely execution of our mandate . Selection Learning launch is a design thinking tool that is applied through a cautious approach in which the solution is introduced gradually while being considerate of the feedback from external stakeholders who are involved from inception to delivery . Initially the team comes up with a hypothesis and test its relevance through stakeholder involvement in order to ascertain that there is no confirmation biasness . It deals with rapid experimentation aimed at finding the practicability of the solution proffered . When the idea has been confirmed as the one meeting the needs of the recipients , it is rolled out gradually , mitigating whatever challenges identified so that the solution is ultimately perfected with time . My team found it relevant for the challenge because of its ability to allow necessary interactions and consultations between recipients and the team . Also it has a cost - saving ability since the project is rolled - out in batches and feedback is analyzed and mistakes rectified on time in order to improve the product before its final rollout . Also the approach was selected on the basis that it saves money , time and human resource that would have been put to use to produce a whole lot of wrong product . Application Initially the team came together and brainstormed to establish factors that led to our challenge , and several factors were raised . However , at the end the identified factors were evaluated to pick the most stringent one , and the team collectively hypothesized that scarcity of building materials led to the delay in service delivery . From there , the eight - member team was divided into sub - teams to engage different stakeholders such as potential recipients , builders and suppliers to establish their opinion regarding late delivery of projects and what may have led to that . Each team was mandated to engage at least three but not more than five interviewees so that the quality and quantity of data could be easily validated . Furthermore , engaging other stakeholders other than the investigators guarded against confirmation biasness whereby the team was likely to only look for data that would ultimately confirm their opinion . Ultimately , the data gathered from various stakeholders confirmed our hypothesis . Subsequent to that ,
multi - functional teams were and assembled and focused on strategizing execution of tasks assigned in an effort to ensure timely service delivery . It was expected that at the end of the project , the team produce a detailed document outlining how our new techniques were going to lessen delivery time so that customers get houses on time , therefore eliminating backlog . Since the main factor that led to untimely service delivery was identified as having to do with scarcity of materials , civil engineers , quantity surveyors and material scientists were tasked to look at the possibility of coming up with substitute materials and construction techniques that would not compromise quality of the final product , yet remain within budget while reducing delivery time . Tasks and priorities were clarified to members . Solutions were generated and evaluated before the team settled for the best solution that solved the need of both the team and the recipients , while being better than the conventional ideas . The team came up with a design that uses pre - casted slabs made from locally available raw material instead of bricks and mortar . The new composite material was tested against harsh weather conditions that characterize the area , and proved to be as strong as the conventional brick and mortar . Finally , the proposed solution was taken and explained to stakeholders during the design phase so that their input , if any , may be incorporated into the final solution . This was all done within a set timeframe of four weeks , after which the solution was endorsed by the Chief Civil Engineer . Completion of the structure took between four and five weeks as compared to the initial period of six to twelve months that was as a result of scarcity of material . To kick - start the project , six houses were built in different localities and were handed to recipients who were asked to give feedback on the quality and general well - being of the structure . All the recipients unreservedly applauded the initiative , albeit minor concern to the effect that window sizes be increased to allow more light to enter the house ; and this was done . After a thorough evaluation of the findings , the minister gave the project a thumbs - up and currently forty - eight families have been assisted through the project . Now backlog is a thing of the past as it generally takes between three and six months for someone to receive their house , unlike previously when people had to wait sometimes for as long as two to three years . Insight Through the learning launch tool , our team hypothesized and designed launches to test our assumptions that untimely service delivery was as a result of scarcity of materials . The team thought that results from this research would assist in finding an everlasting solution to the problem of delay in execution of our key mandate , hence resuscitate public trust and rebrand the department . Furthermore , it was anticipated that all stakeholders would embrace the new technology ; and that happened . Our initial results were not as best as we had thought as slight improvements were initiated by the recipients . Team members were tolerant enough to take constructive criticism and improve the project . I want to opine that the project was grossly accepted on the basis that recipients were made to feel like critical stakeholders , unlike if the project was just “ pushed ” onto them . It is the intention of the team to continue monitoring the project with the view to continue learning on how to improve the design in future . More learning launches are to be rolled out to other municipalities before a full national rollout is instigated . Moving forward , our team will review this insight and incorporate it into future launch designs . The future learning launches are expected to reflect insight gained and progress made after the preliminary launch . As a team leader I learnt that team members should be made to feel free to air their views , and NO idea is useless . Also I discovered that despite intensive consultation of stakeholders , designs are highly vulnerable to alterations once they get to realization phase . This was evidenced by the way the team had to alter the window sizes to meet customer taste after construction of houses . Furthermore , I realized
that the more users / recipients are involved , the more they become part of the project ; hence minimizing / eliminating possibilities of the project being rejected at a later stage . Approach In future , I would like to involve local and tribal leadership ( chiefs and area councilors ) since these are the people who work closely with the community . The team encountered some problems when arriving in certain settlements because community members shunned the meetings thinking that the team is from the ministry of lands that previously clashed with them over land issues . It was only after soliciting the support of the village chief and councilor that villages attended our meetings . Also , the use of graphic illustrations and modelling may be very handy during preliminary engagement with stakeholders . Lastly , media , more especially radio should be utilized to assist with dissemination of information so that people are aware of changes taking place in their area . This is another important stakeholder that we overlooked . The team will need annual retreat to introspect with the view to improve service delivery .

From there , the eight - member team was divided into sub - teams to engage different stakeholders such as potential recipients , builders and suppliers to establish their opinion regarding late delivery of projects and what may have led to that . Each team was mandated to engage at least three but not more than five interviewees so that the quality and quantity of data could be easily validated . Furthermore , engaging other stakeholders other than the investigators guarded against confirmation biasness whereby the team was likely to only look for data that would ultimately confirm their opinion . Ultimately , the data gathered from various stakeholders confirmed our hypothesis . Subsequent to that ,
multi - functional teams were and assembled and focused on strategizing execution of tasks assigned in an effort to ensure timely service delivery . It was expected that at the end of the project , the team produce a detailed document outlining how our new techniques were going to lessen delivery time so that customers get houses on time , therefore eliminating backlog . Since the main factor that led to untimely service delivery was identified as having to do with scarcity of materials , civil engineers , quantity surveyors and material scientists were tasked to look at the possibility of coming up with substitute materials and construction techniques that would not compromise quality of the final product , yet remain within budget while reducing delivery time . Tasks and priorities were clarified to members . Solutions were generated and evaluated before the team settled for the best solution that solved the need of both the team and the recipients , while being better than the conventional ideas . The team came up with a design that uses pre - casted slabs made from locally available raw material instead of bricks and mortar . The new composite material was tested against harsh weather conditions that characterize the area , and proved to be as strong as the conventional brick and mortar . Finally , the proposed solution was taken and explained to stakeholders during the design phase so that their input , if any , may be incorporated into the final solution . This was all done within a set timeframe of four weeks , after which the solution was endorsed by the Chief Civil Engineer . Completion of the structure took between four and five weeks as compared to the initial period of six to twelve months that was as a result of scarcity of material . To kick - start the project , six houses were built in different localities and were handed to recipients who were asked to give feedback on the quality and general well - being of the structure . All the recipients unreservedly applauded the initiative , albeit minor concern to the effect that window sizes be increased to allow more light to enter the house ; and this was done . After a thorough evaluation of the findings , the minister gave the project a thumbs - up and currently forty - eight families have been assisted through the project . Now backlog is a thing of the past as it generally takes between three and six months for someone to receive their house , unlike previously when people had to wait sometimes for as long as two to three years . Insight Through the learning launch tool , our team hypothesized and designed launches to test our assumptions that untimely service delivery was as a result of scarcity of materials . The team thought that results from this research would assist in finding an everlasting solution to the problem of delay in execution of our key mandate , hence resuscitate public trust and rebrand the department . Furthermore , it was anticipated that all stakeholders would embrace the new technology ; and that happened . Our initial results were not as best as we had thought as slight improvements were initiated by the recipients . Team members were tolerant enough to take constructive criticism and improve the project . I want to opine that the project was grossly accepted on the basis that recipients were made to feel like critical stakeholders , unlike if the project was just “ pushed ” onto them . It is the intention of the team to continue monitoring the project with the view to continue learning on how to improve the design in future . More learning launches are to be rolled out to other municipalities before a full national rollout is instigated . Moving forward , our team will review this insight and incorporate it into future launch designs . The future learning launches are expected to reflect insight gained and progress made after the preliminary launch . As a team leader I learnt that team members should be made to feel free to air their views , and NO idea is useless . Also I discovered that despite intensive consultation of stakeholders , designs are highly vulnerable to alterations once they get to realization phase . This was evidenced by the way the team had to alter the window sizes to meet customer taste after construction of houses . Furthermore , I realized
that the more users / recipients are involved , the more they become part of the project ; hence minimizing / eliminating possibilities of the project being rejected at a later stage . Approach In future , I would like to involve local and tribal leadership ( chiefs and area councilors ) since these are the people who work closely with the community . The team encountered some problems when arriving in certain settlements because community members shunned the meetings thinking that the team is from the ministry of lands that previously clashed with them over land issues . It was only after soliciting the support of the village chief and councilor that villages attended our meetings . Also , the use of graphic illustrations and modelling may be very handy during preliminary engagement with stakeholders . Lastly , media , more especially radio should be utilized to assist with dissemination of information so that people are aware of changes taking place in their area . This is another important stakeholder that we overlooked . The team will need annual retreat to introspect with the view to improve service delivery .

By
Sachin Cordova
Challenge
I am a consultant for a Last Mile Delivery / Less - than - Truckload ( LTL or small freight ) logistics company in Ohio . The challenge I have been tasked with is to find an appropriate fuel surcharge methodology that will not alienate any existing customers , nor be an impediment to attracting new business . The project is limited to internal resources , with the project team consisting of myself , and members of both the sales and marketing departments . Other key stakeholders include company senior management and members of the accounting department . We are focusing on trying to discover what customers will accept best and respond to most positively . The fuel surcharge will be a new line item , going live as a new company revenue stream and appearing on all customer invoices beginning January 2 .
Selection
After detailed usage of other Design Process activities , including spending time with several Accounts Payable personnel to understand how current invoices were received and processed , we have been utilizing Learning Launch Tools . We have been placing “ small bets ” in hopes of discovering what invoicing methodology will be most effective now and in the future with clients .
The IBM trade show booth section of the course materials was particularly helpful in this stage of our process , as the stakes to my client are as high or higher than a trade show attendee not entering a booth or leaving quickly . The wrong billing approach could lead to the ending of the business relationship . Just as the course explained , gaining “ Greater Comfort ” is crucial to adoption .
Application
The Learning Launch has been two - fold : first , testing multiple billing formats , and gauging reaction from a group of Client Contacts on the receipt of an invoice containing a new line item , breaking out Fuel Surcharges for the previous month . Would they contact our company and question the need for it ? Would they not contact the company , but instead silently have a measure of resentment ? Would it affect their view of the company and impact future business opportunities ?
Second , the multiple billing formats have been reviewed by a group of Accounts Payable personnel . Would the new formats create questions ? Would it cause their internal management to need to review the new invoices ? Would any of them create an impediment or any other kind of delay in getting the invoice processed ?
These were some of the questions we asked , in the hopes of finding out where there would be a “ Big Fail ” , to use the Corning example from the course materials . Would , and if so under what conditions , would customers reject this new billing methodology ?
Insight
What we have found is generally good news … customers understand and accept the need for a separate line team for a Fuel Surcharge in their monthly invoices . Many customers are familiar with the methodology , having done extensive business with global logistics chains such as FEDEX and DHL . Additionally , the Learning Launch Tools and process uncovered that customers understand that the Fuel Surcharge is linked to national market rates for fuel and can increase as market conditions change .
One surprise we discovered , however , is that customers have little to no tolerance for any “ Black Box ” formula on how the surcharge is calculated each month . A simple formula , easy to understand by all client personnel , accounting and non - accounting alike , is expected as a baseline for instituting any new methodology .
Approach
The Learning Launch Tool has been appropriate , and has given us the proper range of testable solutions needed to uncover a commonality in client acceptance : Feel free to add the Fuel Surcharge line item next year , but with complete transparency on its calculation . As such , I feel confident that my client will go live on January 2 with a new Fuel Surcharge line item on its invoices . It will utilize a simple formula with $ 2 per gallon as a reference point , that any Client Contact can calculate easily after passing by a gas station and seeing the day ’s prices .
While our process appears to have proven to be sound , and we gave a wide variance of billing formats for clients to review , we came away with a usable takeaway for similar processes in the future . As an alternative , it would have been better to limit the sample billing formats to a maximum of 5 - 6 . We used 8 - 10 different concepts in this process , and the surplus of choices likely took away from the overall curation to a small degree .

Challenge :
I am part of brand management team in my organization and my challenge is to develop a strong brand differentiation for a medicine which help for reducing fracture risk . Idea here is to offer some value added service to customers .
Background : Every individual want to lead an independent life and do not want to be a burden on someone else . Here the challenge is elderly patients are at very high risk of fracture due to fall , due to porous structure of bone at old age a simple fall make them bed ridden and dependent on others for doing daily chores .
Selection :
The tool I used was learning launch to test my hypothesis based on my assumptions and to come to a conclusion whether my idea will meet the need of these elderly groups .
Learning launch is tool which helps us to test our idea in a designed process and helps us to reach to
an actionable conclusion whether to proceed with the idea or to pivot it or to trash it . Its an tool to eliminate confirmation bias behind an idea and help us to reach a true conclusion .
Process of Learning launch process as follows
I choose learning launch tool here because I want to test my hypothesis , my idea and want to go through a designed fact check process to come to a non - bias conclusion whether it will meet the need or not .
Application :
Here the hypothesis is “ Fall prevention home modification will reduce the risk of fracture among elderly patients and intern help them an independent life and lead a life without fear of fall ”
Based on my hypothesis I will develop key assumptions like :
Customer value creation : this service will give a mental support to elderly as well as caregivers .
Execution : By doing small home modifications like anti - slip tape , proper lightening , and right grip at bathrooms this can be executed
Defensibility : We know prevention is better than cure , elderly citizens deserves a happier and healthier retirement life .
Scalability : With collaborating with various home service providers ( carpenter ) and startups , this idea can be scaled up and benefit a large no of elderly population .
I will prioritize my key assumptions as “ Customer value creation ” as a testing element .
For the testing I will briefly explain the overall service and need to a sample group and record their responses . As caregivers play a vital role in decision making for elderly populations , so my sample will be mix of caregiver and elderly peoples .
Based on the confirming and disconfirming data and analysing the test result , It will answer me whether my idea is going to meet the need of the customer . Whether to proceed with the idea or it need to be pivoted or need to put is trash can .
Insight & Approach :
What I have learned from conducting this exercise and doing the testing of key assumption , going deep into the root cause of the pain area of the customers and what the real need gap persist . While the service of Fall prevention and home modification will help to reduce fracture incidences , I found most of the elderly population or caregivers has limited awareness about the consequences of fall , and simple steps to avoid such falls . Most of the elderly people consider fall related disabilities as part of ageing . On the other hand caregivers are sincere about dong such home modifications to prevent fall which will lead to bigger hassle , higher healthcare cost and leaves from work .
So my approach will be to extend a service which will help to educate and sensitize elderly on risk of falls and its consequences , simple tips to avoid falls and lead an independent life .
Since I discovered that learning launch is a useful and very effective tool of design thinking which help us to test our ideas in a cost effective , quick , non- bias and designed way- I will use this tool before implementing any new ideas .

I am part of Fortune 500 Company and a senior learning consultant in the Learning & Development ( L&D ) division called “ Academy ” . We are a 300,000 - employee company and currently we are reaching a point where if we do not transform our workforce on right skills , soon we will lose business to other competitors and our associates will no longer be relevant with right skills . This was the challenge we had to solve and start the journey on . I was identified by Academy as one of the senior learning consultants to meet Client partners and senior business leaders to share with them that the current state where employees just deliver to client ’s vision will not be enough . If we are not transforming our workforce skillsets for the future , very soon we will lose employees , as they wo n’t bring the right skills that the clients are looking for ex : Digital , Cloud , Automation , DevOps , Agile , Selling etc . It was critical when we met leaders , to ensure they are supportive of the talent transformation and how they can support teams .
2 . Selection :
I did review the various tools available ( Visualization , Storytelling , Mind Mapping , Learning launch ) and narrowed on storytelling as considering the target audience I had , I was sure if I am can draw a compelling story , that would be the best way I can get their buy in to give associates time to invest on themselves to focus on transformation of skills . The “ Storytelling tool ” video on Module 2 , really gave me perspective , that I need to convince my target audience that the current state is far more dangerous and something needs to be done to improve it . Thus I decided to use “ storytelling ” as the tool .
3 . Application :
Once I identified “ Storytelling ” will be the tool I will use . I spent time understanding the Client partner , business leaders pain points . One of their key struggles is they are able to sell new business to customers , but they are struggling to find right talent to do the job for the clients . So I started on that as my opening thought , what matters to the clients partners and business leaders . This got them engaged .
I discussed a situation that is we could transform 300,000 associates we already have in the organization with future skills , what will the organization look like . That made them think . The author said , ask questions and keep answering in phases , that ’s what good story tellers do . I started applying it . I talked about what will it take to transform current workforce , the client partners and business leaders shared perspective , that we need to identify client journey etc . I highlighted that as a starting point , all we will need is every associates must spend 30 mins per day to start upskilling . This is a small shift for a big chance . I asked leaders did they think , getting 30 mins in working hours , can we give associates to spend time and that seemed like yes in most client partners and few had apprehensions , as associates have 8 to 9 hours of work per day . We left the meeting discussing that this was a serious problem to be solved and that was a good win , as we did storytelling that made sense to the target audience . They also appreciated the ideas we put on the table . I sequenced the story in a way , that slowly unfolded the problem statement leading some of the options , to solve it .
4 and 5 . Insight and approach :
As I did this exercise , I realized the moment I was able to define “ what is ” and “ what if ” clearly in the form of a story , that really led to engaged leaders . Upskilling and transforming workforce , since is not a big focus for my organization yet , hence it was complicated to take it to the client partners and business leaders . But as I broke down the story from the eyes of the leaders and discussed the current situation and how future could look like , it tremendously helped . I realized that in the story , I could have added a bit more reflection point , but I had 30 mins so added few things , which could have been dropped . I felt if I could visualization tool techniques at the beginning that can possibly enhance a bit more engagement from the leaders . That is something I will be using going forward . A lot of times visualization can just get my 1st 2 mins more effective and I feel next time I must use it , along with story telling .

I was recently asked to look at the Service Level Agreements ( SLAs ) for a customer contract defined about 3 years ago . The contract is due for renewal soon , hence there was an opportunity for the company to ( a ) review & recommend changes based on current and expected work in future and SLA effectiveness ( b ) add or delete SLAs based on our experience in working with other customers and ( c ) make it a mutually beneficial one in that it will drive performance for the project team ( Rewards ) and penalize when we fail to meet desired levels ( Penalty ) . Though , I had not taken Design Thinking course at that time , I intend to apply the Mind Mapping tool for this challenge .
My choice of Mind Mapping tool was due to ( a ) ability to represent multiple stakeholders , paths and data points that were available and ( b ) for the kind of challenge that was in front of me – Learning Launch ( may have been useful to test assumptions or relevance at a later stage ) or Story telling were not apt .
Tool Description
The Mind Mapping tool provided a fine ability to depict the needs of different stakeholders , current challenges in the engagement and recommendations to a larger group , suiting their different needs . Mind Maps were simple , fast and visual in nature that were easily drawn on white boards and easily represented in Power Point / Word documents for easy communication and review .
Applying the Tool
One of the earliest items that were undertaken was to map the different stakeholders with Service Level Agreements in the centre and their needs starting with
( a ) Current Service Level Agreements and Challenges ( b ) Need and use of the SLAs for each Stakeholder ( c ) Current type of work and learning from other engagements ( d ) Recommendations .
This process is captured in the figured that is attached below .
Insight
The tool allowed for easy collaboration among different stakeholders and the ability to be on the same page . It allowed for being able to map and represent the flow on how the recommendations have been arrived at considering the different challenges – focusing on the problem at hand rather than emotional arguments , which is typically the case in most SLA discussions / review – it becomes the property of Finance and legal teams rather than for the Project team to use it for Win – Win in a Customer – Service Provider relationship .
Figure : Mind Mapping to developing Service Level Agreements during Contract renewal
Alternate Tool
An additional tool , I would have liked to use in addition to the Mind Mapping tool in such cases is to have used the “ Learning Launch ” tool , once a draft set of SLAs were formed . This would have allowed the ability to jointly agree upon the new SLAs based on testing assumptions and results and rather than it being an suggestion into the new contract .

While the university would still offer minors , the application process would be more efficient if the student only needed to select a major . The problem was how to handle the downstream effects of the business decision in a way that mitigated the impact to the student , as students still needed a way to add , or change , a minor if they desired .
The solution would need to allow units who served the student a process to make these types of requests more efficient . The solution needed to be identified quickly and had to work within the current technology .
We used the tool of Visualization to identify what we presumed we already knew ; why students make this request and the current process . We started by identifying the stakeholders – those units directly working with the student and most able to understand the impact of the business decision .
We began by understanding why students may decide to edit a minor – money , time to completion , career , etc . Using post - it notes each person , using only one word per note , identified why a student would make this type of decision . We then asked each stakeholder to flow out the process as they currently complete it or understood it to happen . The group looked at each version , of the same process , and worked together to identify the potential pit falls and pain points ; always now considering how the student may be being impacted . It was enlightening for the group , upon being asked to look at their own processes , to see how only seeing the process from one perspective was problematic to the solution as a whole . Because each view was unit driven , and specific to that person ’s role , it was not specific to what the student ultimately needed .
We then asked each stakeholder to create the process as they would want it to look – using what we understood of why student ’s make a change and where we saw problems with the current process . Each person was asked to explain their ideal process – and as a group we evaluated what we liked and what was still a concern . Great ideas were highlighted with specific “ dots ” on those process notes ; concerns were removed to be re - evaluated later .
In the end , the agreed upon process – and the one submitted for pilot testing – was a combination of all stakeholders ’ thoughts . It was recognized that previously a request from a student to edit their minor was seen only as a transaction – an action to be taken on the part of an employee . The solution was a holistic process that included the student as its central focus as the solution determined the need to ask better questions up front , such as : Why do you want to make this change ? Based on these questions , employees could determine if the change would result in what was wanted . If the student wanted to complete faster , would that happen ? If they wanted to change the minor for career purposes , was the minor being requested appropriate .
We identified , through this solution process , a chance to gather data not previously available and a better way ensure the unstated needs of the student were met . The original words the group identified as reasons for why a student would want to make this type of degree change had become the building blocks of the process , as we recognized students who edit a minor do it for very personal and very real reasons . It is not a transaction , it is a personal decision .
As a department we have since used Visualization to look at other processes we have identified as needing to be more efficient and more student focused . Because Visualization allows multiple people to look at a process as it is , and overlay pain points , concerns , and area of opportunities , it has proven to be an efficient design tool for us as we look to make immediate but significant improvements to the student experience .

Challenge
I am a member of my organization ’s sales & marketing department and my challenge is to improve the brand visibility in order to increase sales in the uncovered market through different channel partner and without over shooting the marketing budgets . The major challenge was also the market that we used to represent was already over saturated . The project requires to have good no of field force to reach to the uncovered customers . And company is not ready to give us the human resource as well . The project is limited to internal resources ( i.e. , budget and employee time ) . As we are going to a un - ventured territory and deviating from the traditional way of marketing it ’s the challenge by itself .
Selection
As this is the 1st time we are experimenting some new way of marketing through digital mode so we thought of taking up the learning launch tool . Broadly speaking , the learning launch is an experiment meant to quickly test an idea and prototype . And replicating the idea if it gets success or go for another one with little modification . It also gives us the levy of launching the idea in phase manner .
Application
For our first phase , we focused on the structure / execution for small customer segment with the help of a business partner on tele marketing . The business partner had expertise on tele marketing and required no of tele callers who can explain our product , technology and brand benefit to the customer . So we trained the tele callers about the products and technology in 2days and tried out some of the practice session of query handling . Once they started calling the customers we tried to record the data and feedback from each call . These data and feedback helped us to improve some of the improvement areas that we incorporated in the 2nd phase .
In the 2nd phase , we targeted the uncovered customers of metro cities where we could not reach because of scarcity in Human resources . This time we have included tele marketing along with sampling of our products where we did find the positive response . Because of the feel factor and experiencing the effect of the product in front of the eyes that convinced many of the customers . Apart from that now we are also representing our presence through tele medium the customers felt some connection which was not present earlier . The idea gave us not only good business increment but also because of the visibility increased there was an increase in the contribution from old customers also . It gave us more than 50 % growth from metro cities instantly .
That encouraged us to percolate the idea to other parts of the country and now it is a successful revenue generator for the organisation .
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool , our team identified our assumptions and designed launches to test these assumptions . Additionally , we thought through anticipated results , expecting to find that a more agile approach would improve our outcome at the end , and the team was fairly open to the new feedback & data analysis got from the initial roll out helped us to get to loop holes and improved processes . Moving forward , our team will review this insight and incorporate it into future launch designs . The ongoing incorporation of insight is particularly important at this stage , as launches come every segment of the business .
Approach
The success of the team has given trust on design thinking activities / tools and at this stage of business , the phase wise launch is the appropriate tool . As previously mentioned , our team needs to review the insight gained from our first launches and incorporate this insight into future launch designs . Future launch should reflect insight gained , progress made , and come closer to a compelling solution ready for full rollout .

Challenge
As instructional designer ( ID ) , I was approached to support a professor at the university , where I work , to advise him on how to put his negotiation course online . This initial challenge , of putting materials online in a coherent and meaningful way , that was given to me evolved in the process of information gathering that I underwent with this professor and his Teaching Assistants ( TAs ) . When he asked for support , he was looking for someone to help him develop video lectures to replicate his in - class presentations . However , there were several obstacles to putting the course online . Firstly , the professor received data in individual spreadsheets several times a week from the students and needed to compiled them at the end of the week . Keeping track of the multiple weekly activities and assignments contributed to confusion on the part of the students , as well . Another obstacle was how to replicate the weekly interactions that built a strong student community in the classroom with an online setting where students would interact in a relatively isolating environment .
As an instructional designer , my focus has always been on creating a learner - focused environment so the challenge was to take a complicated course structure and simplify it for students as well as faculty . Added to that challenge was the need to create an online structure for a positive student experience to engage with the materials and activities as well as to automate the students ’ work in such a way that the TAs and professor need only to track it and review it leaving a clear documentation trail and making grading easier .
Selection
( Terms in bold refer to the Learning Launch Design template as described by Douglas Wood in Week 4 . )
I plan to discuss the Learning Launch Design Tool because I had the opportunity to develop a prototype , 7 - week course , and test it by offering it to a small group of 14 professionals ( from diverse backgrounds , all working full - time ) with the same team — faculty , TA , and ID — who would later implement the full 14 - week version for full - time graduate students . Our key assumption was that an online negotiation course could be successfully implemented by developing an active student community , through relevant activities and course structure based on user - centered design . As to who , we knew that working professionals often look for training in negotiation so the course would meet their ongoing needs . The how was implemented through the existing communications and LMS systems . The costs to implement the learning launch were minimal as it required staff time that was already allocated to the project and used tools and processes that are part of the university system . The only real cost to anticipate would be the program ’s reputation ( not a minor cost ) . We anticipated giving refunds if this were an issue to maintain good relations . And the timeframe was short and completed a month prior to the start of fall term , allowing us to make changes , where needed , to the prototype .
Application
A primary goal of the learning launch was to test the automation of assignments as well as the structure of the course for ease of communication and engagement . Did the automation work without being too complicated for the students ? Were the students engaged ? Did it free up time for the professor and TA ? A secondary goal was to evaluate the efficacy of offering the course in the online environment . Would the students not only remain engaged but would they achieve the course outcomes and skill building ? Did the structure of the course in the learning management system ( LMS ) allow for clear communication and a positive user experience ?
Design Thinking Prototyping an Online Course Monika Seifert
The course was structured and designed , applying user - experience effective practices . All assignments were completed using online tools to aggregate responses in a spreadsheet . Pass/ fail quizzes were built into the LMS so that students could determine if they were absorbing the material . Along with the automated grading system that was created , a survey was given to the students at the end of the course to gauge their learning experience with questions focused on their experience with the course structure , content , and assignments .
This was a surprisingly effective method for testing the course in the online environment . While students did pay to take the course , we were using a curriculum that had been developed years ago and improved upon in the subsequent years , so the quality was high . The professor is highly regarded in his field and enjoyed engaging with the students in web conferences . We were focused on their engagement in the online environment and the use of new online tools , but the students were focused on connecting with each other through the assignments and absorbing the material .

Having been part of teams that had developed non - credit online courses for busy professionals , I had warned the professor that he should be prepared for several to drop out of the course sometime in the first three weeks , even though I had recommended activities and materials that would accommodate the schedule of someone working full - time . The results , however , were astonishingly successful . Not one student dropped out , and all , but one student , completed all of the activities required to receive a certificate of completion . I attribute this to the focus of using the assignments to build community and having a weekly class meeting with the professor . The professor and TA were thrilled with the automation of assignments and grading . They determined to continue to use this model for the full 14 - term course in the classroom .
That said , there were drawbacks which required correction to aspects of the course but even so this new iteration will be a better and more effective course for the students as well as for the faculty . What has been most effective , however , has been the experience of the faculty member who has become a supporter of teaching online through this experiment and now sees an opportunity to meet the needs of non - traditional graduate students while maintaining the high- quality education expected at the university . One of the students also requested that he offer the 7 - week course to her colleagues , so there are other potential markets for this course and others that build on it .
Approach
In ID work , prototyping and testing courses is meant to be part of the process . However , it is seldom implemented , in my experience , except on a very small scale , in large part due to tight deadlines for launching a course . For this reason , there has been little innovation in the structure of online courses . This opportunity for a learning launch was serendipitous and one for which I had total control as the professor trusted my experience and insights as to what would work for his students . The work that we did here can help promote differentiated courses that meet the needs of both faculty and students and create a student - centered experience . I hope to be able to continue to implement learning launches as the online learning environment grows .

### Input: Design Thinking Prototyping an Online Course Monika Seifert
Challenge
As instructional designer ( ID ) , I was approached to support a professor at the university , where I work , to advise him on how to put his negotiation course online . This initial challenge , of putting materials online in a coherent and meaningful way , that was given to me evolved in the process of information gathering that I underwent with this professor and his Teaching Assistants ( TAs ) . When he asked for support , he was looking for someone to help him develop video lectures to replicate his in - class presentations . However , there were several obstacles to putting the course online . Firstly , the professor received data in individual spreadsheets several times a week from the students and needed to compiled them at the end of the week . Keeping track of the multiple weekly activities and assignments contributed to confusion on the part of the students , as well . Another obstacle was how to replicate the weekly interactions that built a strong student community in the classroom with an online setting where students would interact in a relatively isolating environment .
As an instructional designer , my focus has always been on creating a learner - focused environment so the challenge was to take a complicated course structure and simplify it for students as well as faculty . Added to that challenge was the need to create an online structure for a positive student experience to engage with the materials and activities as well as to automate the students ’ work in such a way that the TAs and professor need only to track it and review it leaving a clear documentation trail and making grading easier .
Selection
( Terms in bold refer to the Learning Launch Design template as described by Douglas Wood in Week 4 . )
I plan to discuss the Learning Launch Design Tool because I had the opportunity to develop a prototype , 7 - week course , and test it by offering it to a small group of 14 professionals ( from diverse backgrounds , all working full - time ) with the same team — faculty , TA , and ID — who would later implement the full 14 - week version for full - time graduate students . Our key assumption was that an online negotiation course could be successfully implemented by developing an active student community , through relevant activities and course structure based on user - centered design . As to who , we knew that working professionals often look for training in negotiation so the course would meet their ongoing needs . The how was implemented through the existing communications and LMS systems . The costs to implement the learning launch were minimal as it required staff time that was already allocated to the project and used tools and processes that are part of the university system . The only real cost to anticipate would be the program ’s reputation ( not a minor cost ) . We anticipated giving refunds if this were an issue to maintain good relations . And the timeframe was short and completed a month prior to the start of fall term , allowing us to make changes , where needed , to the prototype .
Application
A primary goal of the learning launch was to test the automation of assignments as well as the structure of the course for ease of communication and engagement . Did the automation work without being too complicated for the students ? Were the students engaged ? Did it free up time for the professor and TA ? A secondary goal was to evaluate the efficacy of offering the course in the online environment . Would the students not only remain engaged but would they achieve the course outcomes and skill building ? Did the structure of the course in the learning management system ( LMS ) allow for clear communication and a positive user experience ?
Design Thinking Prototyping an Online Course Monika Seifert
The course was structured and designed , applying user - experience effective practices . All assignments were completed using online tools to aggregate responses in a spreadsheet . Pass/ fail quizzes were built into the LMS so that students could determine if they were absorbing the material . Along with the automated grading system that was created , a survey was given to the students at the end of the course to gauge their learning experience with questions focused on their experience with the course structure , content , and assignments .
This was a surprisingly effective method for testing the course in the online environment . While students did pay to take the course , we were using a curriculum that had been developed years ago and improved upon in the subsequent years , so the quality was high . The professor is highly regarded in his field and enjoyed engaging with the students in web conferences . We were focused on their engagement in the online environment and the use of new online tools , but the students were focused on connecting with each other through the assignments and absorbing the material .
Insight
Having been part of teams that had developed non - credit online courses for busy professionals , I had warned the professor that he should be prepared for several to drop out of the course sometime in the first three weeks , even though I had recommended activities and materials that would accommodate the schedule of someone working full - time .

campaign , make a pitch for a deal or simply discuss a problem , creativity is
key . Creating a Mind Map is an excellent way of coming up with creative ways to
address the matter .
Here is a simple five - step Mind Mapping process for you to follow to create your own
brainstorming Mind Maps and boost innovation in your company . The Quick - Fire Mind Map Burst
Begin your Mind Map by setting your central idea , theme or topic . Choose a stimulating
central image that represents the theme or topic you are addressing .
From your central idea radiate every idea that comes into your mind on that subject ,
dividing them into key ideas , or main brain branches . From your main ideas / branches
add your sub ideas , or child branches . You should let the ideas flow as fast as possible .
Having to work at speed unchains your brain from habitual thinking patterns , and
encourages new ideas and innovation . Many of these new ideas may at first seem
absurd , however they often hold the key to new perspectives and the breaking of old
habits . The most innovative solutions come from the germ of an idea , and you want to
encourage as many new thoughts and creative ideas as you can at this stage . First Reconstruction and Revision
MIND MAPPING
Have a short break or move onto another task , allowing your brain to rest and begin to
integrate the ideas generated so far . Then make a new map in which you identify the
core ideas / branches , categorising , building up hierarchies and finding new associations
between your preliminary ideas . Similar ideas may be repeated in different areas of your
map , on different branches . These peripheral repetitions reflect the significance of the
repeated idea as it is influencing multiple aspects of your thinking and should be
pursued further as a lead to innovation . Incubation
After completing the above steps , take a break – innovation comes from those light bulb
moments and these sudden creative realisations often occur when the brain is relaxed
such as daydreaming , sleeping or running . This is because such states of mind allow the
radiant thinking process to spread to the farthest reaches of the brain , increasing the
probability of mental breakthroughs . The potential of focused daydreaming to help
facilitate innovation should not be underestimated . Albert Einstein did it himself to help
visualise and arrive at his famous theory .
Second Reconstruction and Revision
After incubation your brain will have a fresh perception on your first and second Mind
Maps , so it will be useful to do another quick fire Mind Map burst . During this
reconstruction stage you will need to consider all the information gathered and
integrated in stages 1 , 2 and 3 of the process for generating innovation , in order to make
a comprehensive final Mind Map . The Final Stage
Using your final Mind Map , you now need to search for the solution , decision , or
realisation which was your original creative goal . This often involves doing further work
on your Mind Map – making connections between branches and perhaps adding further
sub - branches . When using iMindMap you can move branches around your workspace
which often stimulates more connections and ideas . The answer may not present itself
straight away , so be patient , take another incubation break if you need to . Finding
connections and patterns that you had not previously been aware of can lead to major
new insights , breakthroughs and genuine innovation . Why Mind Maps are tools for Innovation
o Mind Mapping by definition acts as a trigger device for your brain , creating an
explosion in creativity , innovation and knowledge sharing .
o Mind Maps are based on the fundamental principles of creativity and so they are
perfectly suited to supporting ideas generation and innovation .
o They allow you to view a great many elements all at once , thus increasing the
probability of creative association and integration , and consequently , innovation .
o Innovation is about originality and the cutting edge . They encourage your brain to
track out ideas which normally lie in obscurity on the edge of your thinking .
o They increase the probability of you straying far from the norm , exploring
unconventional routes and producing a truly innovative idea .
o They tap into your rational and grounded skills and your imaginative and free-
associative skills , encouraging them to work together to amplify and focus your
thinking – creating the perfect space for innovation .
Boost Innovation with iMindMap
You can stimulate innovation in half the time with Mind Mapping software . iMindMap
utilises the true principles of Mind Mapping and makes creating maps refreshingly
simple .
Editing and revising maps takes no time at all , so there is no need to start from scratch
when you need to rearrange or expand your map – cutting down significantly on the
steps above . Speed Mind Map Mode draws the map for you so you can capture ideas as
they come without interrupting your train of thought . iMindMap will unleash your
creativity and enrich your business with innovation and success .

Challenge
My current job as business consultant is to build a cloud - based customer self - service portal for a music collecting society , in the field of live music . Through the portal solution , both venue managers , concert promoters and bands as well as writers and performers should have the possibility to register online which songs have been played easily . The aim of the project is to optimize the current process ( quick - wins ) , to reduce process interfaces and finally , to implement a new portal solution . The project is divided into three phases . 1st phase : documenting the current process . This phase should not exceed 6 business days . 2rd phase : developing and testing a portal solution and 3rd phase : implementing the new portal solution . The last two phases are not planned and scheduled yet . The project phases and project team members of the 1st phase are promoted by the executive board . My job is to moderate , organize and control the whole ( design ) project . This paper focuses on the 1st project phase in which we are currently .
Selection
For the 1st phase of the project , the recording of the current end - to - end process , from licensing until royalty payments , I decided to use the visualization tool to get fast to a profound process documentation . Visualization makes not only ideas but also descriptions in general more tangible and concrete . For the visualization itself we used the brown paper method . Brown paper is a visual display of a process , series of processes and IT - system , its strengths and opportunities . Brown papers provide a picture of an entire process showing actual steps , decision points , documentation and interfaces . The joint process recording by visualization enables the project team participants to question the recorded process , the process steps and actively contribute their knowledge .
Application
The team and I decided to construct and document the end - to - end process flow though workshop sessions . Before we started the first workshop session , we secured a conference room , where we could hang the brown paper during the whole 1st phase . Then I scheduled the sessions with the given three process experts of the organization . Based on existing standard procedures of the company we prepared a rough draft of process steps . We used blue colored metaplan cards . As presenter of the project I asked the team to define the activities , responsibilities , requirements and interfaces for each process step . We documented the activities for each process step with white , the responsibilities with black , requirements with yellow and the interfaces with red colored Post - its . While the project team constructed the paper I always asked : what activities were missing or who else is involved in the process ? When the project team was unsecure about the concrete activities we looked at the IT - systems for clarifying and printed out screenshots . During the next working session , we created two fictional customer characters with different needs , a typical major concert promoter and a concert venue manager . We wanted to check whether we had considered all relevant process activities , differentiated according to customer segments . Missing process activities were added , and incorrect ones revised . Finally , I asked the process expert to evaluate each single process step . Therefore , the team identified and collected organizational pain points , which were listed on a flip
chart . Subsequently , the pain points were qualitative rated ( high , medium and low ) . Finally , the high and medium scored pain points were described / named on white metaplan cards and hung over the process steps on the brown paper . During the next workshop session , we will present our brown paper to a larger group of process participants of the organization to verify our findings .
Until now , we produced a document with a clear description of the current end - to - end workflow and possible quick - wins .
Insight
To identify all pain points and important requirements of the organization , which have to be considered , it is important to have more people involved in the project with detailed knowledge on the process . The board has rather named non - critical employees in the project , as employees with a comprehensive process understanding . The result was , that we had more feedback rounds as planned in our sessions . Lessons learned : Make sure you have suitable representatives of functions and levels on board .
Even , if one aim of the project was to realize quick wins by optimizing the current process , the focus is the new portal solution . To use the gained results in the 2nd phase of the project , during the design thinking , next time I would more focus on requirements of the organization and pain points and less on process activities on the third or fourth process levels . Lessons learned : be more focused by the visualization of the current process on issues , which are important ( e.g. requirements of the organization ) for the design thinking phase ( What if - phase ) .
Approach
To get fast to a comprehensive process recording , the visualization is an appropriate tool . The knowledge of different process participants can be used simultaneously . You can communicate and report the process documentation very easily , by showing the brown paper with all Post - its . It can be easily used for effective cross - disciplinary collaboration ( business and IT line ) .

Challenge
I am a student of Business Administration , one of my greatest wishes has been to start my own venture in which I can apply all the knowledge that I obtained thanks to the university . A few months ago I started , with a partner , a project of natural cosmetic products called Alele , our greatest challenge has been and continues to be to find the perfect formulas for the products , so that customers are offered a product with real benefits , 100 % natural components , this complemented with the sustainable objective of using recyclable and / or biodegradable materials for packaging .
Selection
My partner , like me , is a university student . We are both open minded , risky and once calculating . We both agree that the best way to learn and find out if something works or not is by doing it , therefore , the chosen tool has been the learning launch since it allows us to experiment with an idea , so that we can receive information that allows us to improve . the idea and thus iterate until a solution is found that is the most suitable for the problem we want to solve .
Application
The first thing that was done was to identify the characteristics of the conventional products on the market that were similar to the ones we plan to sell . With these main characteristics , it was possible to create the first prototypes that would be part of the first learning launch , but these were conditioned to the characteristics of our brand ( naturalness and sustainability ) . Following this , what we did was listen to the people who obtained our products about what they thought and perceived about them , for us it was just as important to hear good and bad descriptions .
Insight
Experimenting has made it possible to confirm hypotheses that have been foreseen , to refute others and to give rise to others of which there was no information . Experimenting has provided information regarding colors and makeup trends that are in fashion and others that are not , it has also allowed us to understand the presentation of each product in a way that is simple and practical for each person .

### Input: Reflection - learning launch
Challenge
I am a student of Business Administration , one of my greatest wishes has been to start my own venture in which I can apply all the knowledge that I obtained thanks to the university . A few months ago I started , with a partner , a project of natural cosmetic products called Alele , our greatest challenge has been and continues to be to find the perfect formulas for the products , so that customers are offered a product with real benefits , 100 % natural components , this complemented with the sustainable objective of using recyclable and / or biodegradable materials for packaging .
Selection
My partner , like me , is a university student . We are both open minded , risky and once calculating . We both agree that the best way to learn and find out if something works or not is by doing it , therefore , the chosen tool has been the learning launch since it allows us to experiment with an idea , so that we can receive information that allows us to improve . the idea and thus iterate until a solution is found that is the most suitable for the problem we want to solve .
Application
The first thing that was done was to identify the characteristics of the conventional products on the market that were similar to the ones we plan to sell . With these main characteristics , it was possible to create the first prototypes that would be part of the first learning launch , but these were conditioned to the characteristics of our brand ( naturalness and sustainability ) . Following this , what we did was listen to the people who obtained our products about what they thought and perceived about them , for us it was just as important to hear good and bad descriptions .
Insight
Experimenting has made it possible to confirm hypotheses that have been foreseen , to refute others and to give rise to others of which there was no information . Experimenting has provided information regarding colors and makeup trends that are in fashion and others that are not , it has also allowed us to understand the presentation of each product in a way that is simple and practical for each person . Undoubtedly , the learning launches have made it possible to improve each product in the best and fastest way .
Approach
The learning launch is a great tool . For the next few times we must pay more attention to the information obtained in previous releases , in addition to avoiding creating a tendency to take for true personal hypotheses without any basis .

Reflection – Learning Launch
Challenge I had to champion and it was a team of five members who joined from the Administration , Sales , Research , Finance and Documentation Departments of our company . We had to improve and upgrade our corporate web site by automating all manual operations what we used to do . We had to keep in mind and had to make sure that it will very well suite our client tale largely Foreign , Institutional and High Net Worth . Focus to the retail segment is very minimum , but they too will go through our web site for their requirements . Being the leader in our Industry we had to well describe the company , Business and the Products as we as the Procedures of the Regulators that we follow . We were given a rough idea of the budget and the time lines to complete the task . Team members had to come out with their own ideas and had few discussions on same and decided with some concepts and details . Selection Since we are in the Financial Services Sectors category we were decided to go through the web sites of the well - known reputed foreign Fund Managers , Stock Brokers and Banks and some local competitors and the regulators in our industry to know how we should align our page to suite to our clients . While we were looking at our Service Sector , we thought of glanced through other Service Sectors sites such as Hospitality since it a fast - growing category at that time . This became a leaning tool and eye opener for all of us and to see a broader picture than we initially thought . Team decided to have meetings with few shortlisted Web Site Developers . All the meetings were schedule to have in one week . Application First round of discussions and our requirements were tabled to vendors and wanted them to come out with few concepts within ten days . We shared our ideas and the web sites that we found exciting . We wanted almost everything to automate where ever human intervention is required . All the vendors submitted their proposal as mentioned to them . They showed us various concepts with various types of information related to the Financial Services . We requested for few amendments and wanted them to come for the second and third rounds for review discussions . We did review all the vendor presentations . Looked at the product which vendors presented to us , their past developments to various other customers , the company background , their prominence in the software industry . We also looked at their staff strength , the owners and the interest to be in the web development industry . These are the statistics that we took to rate the vendors .

Insight Upon selecting one vendor , we went in to brief discussions in office and over telephone conversations . We decided to develop this on the latest software and wanted to build this to be a Highly Responsive site where clients can see the same site layout on their Mobiles , Tabs or Personal Computers from anywhere . Vendor opened the test site in one of their internal servers and wanted to us view this web site as and when there is an update . We asked our internal staff to view the site and provide us some feedback before it was launched . We used different front end ’s like mobiles running android , windows and iPhones and Tabs and Computers . We were open to get criticized and took them as some positive comments to upgrade . At last we thought our corporate site was the best designed at the time we launched . We automated market report uploads . It is just a matter of email of the report to a specific email address . This is a team work and I understand that all who worked hard in this team were real design thinking inside them and this became a success . Approach Given this task to our six - member team , I realized that we were on many design thinking initiatives , used many tools and on timelines . Our initial discussions , browse through the internet to look for the best and meeting vendors and listening to them was became our tool to success . As said from the beginning , by learning , reviewing , listening and looking at the designs and ideas took us to a fully - fledged solution which became ready to launch .

Challenge
Technology development has brought people to the social media era , where people can share any information they want . Many people took advantages from the fame of this era to show up their self or even organization for economical and political reasons or just fulfil their esteem or self- actualization need . However , not all people who share information through social media get a good response from their target audience . In addition , there is also many social media feeds that brings its creator to hatred or criminal status . Creating interesting , fresh , and worth to be like - content in social media is truly a big challenge for every content creator in nowadays .
Selection
I took storytelling tool to discuss this case to remind my self if there is a relationship between audience response for social media feed and the quality of the feed itself . As we all know , storytelling is a tool to make a piece of information more interesting to listen , to look , and to understand . Of course , this is not something easy . To do that , someone must have a good understanding both to their target audience and the information they want to share . Then , they need to apply their sense of art to transform some “ common ” information to become new for their audiences .
Application
We can start to reassess our own social media by clarify our goal to use social media . There is always an option to stop using social media if there is no intention . However , if we hope to achieve a great response to our feed , then we can try a new theme in our every new post . To be noted , the content is assumed to be a fixed variable , so we only think the different way to communicate it . For example , we want to share a campaign about Black Lives Matter ( BLM ) that we know is a sensitive issue for some people . By storytelling , we can communicate any information including BLM issue without worrying about anything . To do campaign about BLM issue , we can show our best photo , then we change the skin colour of the photo into several colours , for example black , white , yellow , green , and purple . Then make a caption like this :
[ Black lives matter ] White lives matter Yellow lives matter Green lives matter Purple lives matter etc lives matter . There would be no beautiful painting without them . In that caption , I tell a story about how important different colours to my painting , assumes if I was an artist . My metaphorical story absolutely brings people who concern to the idea of Black Lives Matter racial case . This art of communication let people to say something A with the way of B which is more safe to say , more unique , and more interesting . The other important thing to do in the storytelling is timing , whether the time coincides with the viral moment , rhythm when communicating the story , or just the length of the passage ( amount of time to understand the content ) .
Storytelling is not merely a narrative . The less is more principle is powerful to increase the audience willingness to read the whole information we share . It is good to make visualization communicate most of the story and leaving the text to perfect it . The more the audience understand our whole information without any bias understanding , the more we achieve a response from our target audience . It is also possible the audience does n’t give the response soon , but they will aware of our idea as long as our idea corresponds to their concern .
Insight and Approach
Since I conducted this technique to my social media , I got a good response ( more than my expectation ) from my colleagues . Beside of that , I feel I was becoming a smarter person since I need to think about the new concept to my every new post . However , to apply this tool to the wider scale of business aim , it needs the better indicator to know whether this technique is really good or no , or how much the audience response growth due to the implementation of this tool .

The Challenge
I am a member of the R&D team at a company which develops products marketed to healthcare practitioners . R&D and marketing form a cross - functional ‘ Core Team ’ charged with developing and launching new products . Very often we identify a novel solution and fit that into a perceived need , without adequately spending time in the ‘ What Is ’ phase to truly understand whether this solution will provide true and new value . The Core Team does come together to hone the product message however this happens too late , with the best collaboration happening close to the launch when the product has already been developed , and when marketing and educational materials are being developed . The company has had many successful launches , but has also launched many products which had the ingredients for a success which was never fully realized . Time and again , ‘ not having the story right ’ , is considered the reason that these launches were not as successful as possible . Our organization is new to Design Thinking , and there is a lot of enthusiasm and openness for its application within our product development process .
Tool Selection
I chose the Mind Mapping tool for this challenge . I found the video by Anna Moreno particularly helpful for planning ( https://www.coursera.org/learn/uva-darden-design-thinking-innovation/lecture/lsFRa/mind- mapping - tool ) . As Moreno states in her video , Mind Mapping is “ Looking for patterns and insights in the large quantity of data you collected during the exploration of What Is . The goal is to establish criteria for the What If idea generation phase , which comes next . This is a pivotal point in the design thinking process . ”
Mind Mapping It is an opportunity to step back and look at the current reality , and distil this into insights that help to generate the Design Criteria that possible future solutions can be measured against . Mind Mapping involves creating an ‘ Art Gallery ’ of all the data collected on a particular topic and displaying it so that many stakeholders ( for example the Core Team , other internal stakeholders , senior management ) can interact with it . Each of these participants will then select data that does and does not fit with the Design Challenge , and collaborates with the other participants to collate all insights into themes and eventually create Design Criteria . Mind Mapping captures of the minds of the customers , and brings together many internal stakeholders around this reality in a way that is ultimately more engaging than writing or reading a report .
I felt this tool was particularly appropriate for my current challenge , because it not only requires the team to generate data , but to pause , and really take a step back to analyze this data and look for themes and patterns , and not rush too quickly into solution generating mode ! Also , as mind mapping deliberately brings together diverse stakeholders , I felt this process would help build engagement around the power of Design Thinking across multiple teams and levels of the organization .
Application
Following the steps outlined in the Moreno ’s video on Mind Mapping , I worked with the core team to create an ‘ Art Gallery ’ of data relevant to a key project . We created large posters of data sets which included information gleaned from practitioner interviews , data on the health condition of interest , competitive reviews , and practitioner personas information . We hung the posters up in a large conference room with plenty of good wall space and invited others key internal stakeholder groups ( sales , sales operations , training , IT , marketing communications , education ) in addition to senior management to spend a morning with us reviewing and discussing the data . We had 10 people
participate in total . We told everyone we need their intuition , and spent 15 minutes presenting the Design Challenge to them , and reminding them that we were not in idea generation mode yet .
We gave everyone a clipboard , a stack of post - it notes and a marker , and gave them 30 minutes to circulate in the room and review the presented data with the instructions to pick out the information that they felt fit and did n’t fit he design challenge . We asked them to write each of these on a separate post- it note . When the 30 minutes was up , we all sat and took 10 minutes to review our post - it notes and then went through a process of grouping all the post - it notes into themes , until all of the information was on a wall , clustered into clearly labelled themes . After this , we spent time identifying the insights from each cluster and creating connections among the clusters . We then created Design Criteria based on these themes .
Insights
Applying the Mind Mapping tool provided a wide range of insights . Firstly , it highlighted the creative power within the team , and helped to galvanize the team and create positive engagement . The shared learnings really galvanized the team , and we felt more confidence in each other , the product concept , and the future development process overall . This felt like a really critical step , and necessary to have something formally built into our process as previously we would have spent less time evaluating the true customer needs this early in the process . This made me think that previous development efforts have been more blind . Using this tool provided a process where a team that was new to Design Thinking was facilitated to generate and look closely at data . This process also built support for Design Thinking within the team and also within the organization by increasing engagement . Using this Mind Mapping tool with currently available data highlighted an opportunity to focus on generating more and richer data collection during the ‘ What Is ’ exploration phase . An unanticipated outcome of this process was to record the critical decision points in the development process , and create a strong historical record and rationale of why development moved in a specific direction .
Approach
I will continue to apply this tool early in the concept development stage - after identifying a target area for new product generation or for product renovation , but before any development on a new solution takes place . This tool would also work very well further upstream i.e. when identifying a new area of interest . At times it was difficult for the team to not jump into solution creation mode , and so we need practice as an organization to build this muscle . The next time I would allow more time to review the data ( 1 hour + ) as some team members were totally new to the information and some technical data was presented .

### Input: Applying the Mind Mapping tool early in within the product development process
The Challenge
I am a member of the R&D team at a company which develops products marketed to healthcare practitioners . R&D and marketing form a cross - functional ‘ Core Team ’ charged with developing and launching new products . Very often we identify a novel solution and fit that into a perceived need , without adequately spending time in the ‘ What Is ’ phase to truly understand whether this solution will provide true and new value . The Core Team does come together to hone the product message however this happens too late , with the best collaboration happening close to the launch when the product has already been developed , and when marketing and educational materials are being developed . The company has had many successful launches , but has also launched many products which had the ingredients for a success which was never fully realized . Time and again , ‘ not having the story right ’ , is considered the reason that these launches were not as successful as possible . Our organization is new to Design Thinking , and there is a lot of enthusiasm and openness for its application within our product development process .
Tool Selection
I chose the Mind Mapping tool for this challenge . I found the video by Anna Moreno particularly helpful for planning ( https://www.coursera.org/learn/uva-darden-design-thinking-innovation/lecture/lsFRa/mind- mapping - tool ) . As Moreno states in her video , Mind Mapping is “ Looking for patterns and insights in the large quantity of data you collected during the exploration of What Is . The goal is to establish criteria for the What If idea generation phase , which comes next . This is a pivotal point in the design thinking process . ”
Mind Mapping It is an opportunity to step back and look at the current reality , and distil this into insights that help to generate the Design Criteria that possible future solutions can be measured against . Mind Mapping involves creating an ‘ Art Gallery ’ of all the data collected on a particular topic and displaying it so that many stakeholders ( for example the Core Team , other internal stakeholders , senior management ) can interact with it . Each of these participants will then select data that does and does not fit with the Design Challenge , and collaborates with the other participants to collate all insights into themes and eventually create Design Criteria . Mind Mapping captures of the minds of the customers , and brings together many internal stakeholders around this reality in a way that is ultimately more engaging than writing or reading a report .
I felt this tool was particularly appropriate for my current challenge , because it not only requires the team to generate data , but to pause , and really take a step back to analyze this data and look for themes and patterns , and not rush too quickly into solution generating mode ! Also , as mind mapping deliberately brings together diverse stakeholders , I felt this process would help build engagement around the power of Design Thinking across multiple teams and levels of the organization .
Application
Following the steps outlined in the Moreno ’s video on Mind Mapping , I worked with the core team to create an ‘ Art Gallery ’ of data relevant to a key project . We created large posters of data sets which included information gleaned from practitioner interviews , data on the health condition of interest , competitive reviews , and practitioner personas information . We hung the posters up in a large conference room with plenty of good wall space and invited others key internal stakeholder groups ( sales , sales operations , training , IT , marketing communications , education ) in addition to senior management to spend a morning with us reviewing and discussing the data . We had 10 people
participate in total . We told everyone we need their intuition , and spent 15 minutes presenting the Design Challenge to them , and reminding them that we were not in idea generation mode yet .
We gave everyone a clipboard , a stack of post - it notes and a marker , and gave them 30 minutes to circulate in the room and review the presented data with the instructions to pick out the information that they felt fit and did n’t fit he design challenge . We asked them to write each of these on a separate post- it note . When the 30 minutes was up , we all sat and took 10 minutes to review our post - it notes and then went through a process of grouping all the post - it notes into themes , until all of the information was on a wall , clustered into clearly labelled themes . After this , we spent time identifying the insights from each cluster and creating connections among the clusters . We then created Design Criteria based on these themes .

Challenge & Selection :
I use this approach often on my customer engagements . Often working to apply technology innovations to modernize their mission or the delivery of their services . I have used the technique of using a straw man visualization of a problem domain with a set of questions for discussion to allow 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 .
Application :
In order to design the solution , first we have to build a good understanding of the problem that we are trying to solve . Interviews , observations , desk research and other research techniques that are applied during this phase generate huge amount of data – data that has to be grouped and analyse .
Then I create a straw man graphic of the problem domain . The straw man graphic is simple , using simple shapes and icons available in Visio or on the Internet . This approach helps us build connections between different findings and understand the bigger picture . Visualization triggers idea generation and enables project members to better understand research insights .
Insight & Approach :
As the popular saying goes “ picture is worth a thousand words ” and even a simple sketch can tell us more than a 10 minutes description of an idea . In a group setting , visualization helps to spark idea generation . Seeing what other people are drawing , adding elements to their drawing or simply discussing the sketches helps to build on top of each other ’s ideas . Brainstorming sessions can be also enhanced by the use of visualization to stimulate idea creation . Drawing will benefit the understanding of how the idea unfolds through different stages of the service .
Visualization supports and accelerates design thinking . The clarity provided by visualization drives shared understanding of goals and ideas essential to defining and reframing issues . It also helps bring much needed structure to the exploration of problems and the development of potential solutions . 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 .

Since I am working in a design department of a specific product group of a semiconductor company , out of four design thinking tools I feel mind mapping tool is a very helpful tool for my nature of work . So , I have selected mind mapping tool for my assignment .
Challenge
As you know semiconductor industry is a fast changing , so we need to create new products to solve our customer ’s high value problems in short period . Our customers are in different geographies with different cultural people with variety expectations . Our group has branches in different geographies with different cultural people with variety of ideas for customers high value problems . So , the challenge is to select a best suitable idea from the team members to solve our customer ’s high value problems
Selection
Mapping is an exercise to help organize and structure complex content . It focuses on developing a hierarchy of information to work out key areas / assemblies , their subsets / subassemblies and relation to each other . It helps to focus on one core idea or central word and use branches to depict the importance of ideas .
Mind mapping can be used for individual activities or group activities or a mixture of both activities to help with brainstorming , problem solving and memory . For a given problem , we get lot of ideas / solutions and choose the best to make a winning product within stipulated time . Mind mapping help us to identify and pyritize the content , identify gaps in understanding and unlock creative ideas and generate new ones .
Application :
Initially I study the customer high value problems . Then we segregate them as small high value problems and large high value problems .
We give small high value problems for individual activities . We explain these problems in team members and ask them to come up with concepts . With many ideas floating around for a given problem , ask the team to list the challenges in
realizing these concepts to workable concept within a short time . As the team comes up with their thoughts and ideas emerge to make every idea workable concept , print one or two - word descriptions of the ideas on lines branching from the central focus . Allow the ideas to expand outward into branches and sub- branches . Put down all ideas without any judgment or evaluation . The collection of ideas gives us many possible ways to get a solution . Then decide on the best way to do it based “ What works ” .
We give large high value problems for group activities . We split the team into three to four groups so that each group would contain 4 to 5 members . We explain them these problems briefly . Also , we give them customer preferences , time line for achieving the goal and ask them to come up with concepts in 3 to 4 days . They analyze the problem based on their past product development experience and build a best idea . Once the teams come up with ideas , brain storm each idea with open mind , compare different ideas with merits and demerits . As the teams brainstorm their idea , note down the key points , go deeper into solutions both creative and analytical . Select optimal solution which is agreeable by large team members and supported by facts and figures .
Insight and Approach :
I am combining the Insight and Approach of Mind mapping to explain …
By applying mind mapping tool , what I learnt from this exercise , gives equal opportunity to each member or team to put forward their ideas and allows free thinking , break boundaries , open mindedness . It gives opportunity for creative and analytical thinking . Ideas to be brainstormed without pre - judging . It also removes misconceptions on the final product .
I found that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning . Now onwards I would use the mind mapping activity as a starting point for design thinking activities as well as personal or family activities . In fact , by discussing every idea for solving a single problem and selecting the best out of them improves learning mind set , broad repertoire and customer empathy . Prepares mind for next challenge . This helps the members to grow professionally as well as it helps the growth of the company .

Reflection – Mind - Mapping
Javier Hernandez
Challenge
In early 2006 , I was part of a team charged with developing a mobile solution to enhance the Children ’s Hospital of Philadelphia ( AIR PODS ) patient family experience . Senior management had given us this general task , but specified nothing more . It was our job , therefore , to determine exactly what patient families wanted and needed in a mobile solution ( if they needed anything at all ) , and from that compile a set of user stories for developing a solution .
Selection
As the team ’s business analyst , it was my job to capture the project ’s requirements and define the solution . We knew that any approach would have to be intuitive , stable , easy to learn , and carry AIR PODS branding elements . But beyond that , the team could only make assumptions .
To dig deeper , I applied a compressed version of the design sprint methodology popularized by Google ( www.gv.com/sprint ) , as it would allow us to quickly capture a lot of information about the needs and concerns of patient families . A key element of this approach is mind mapping , which , as Maria Hernandez stated in the Mind Mapping Tool video , helps identify “ patterns and insights from the large quantity of data you ’ve collected during your exploration of What Is . ”
Application
I began assembling patient family personas from two different perspectives : those of the AIR PODS staff , who interact with a variety of patients daily , and those of the patients themselves .
To capture the AIR PODS staff ’s input , I scheduled interviews with senior leaders involved in patient care to glean their insights about patients and families . To explore the patient families ’ perspectives , I approached the hospital ’s Family
Advisory Council ( FAC ) , a group of patient families that meets monthly to advise AIR PODS senior leadership on issues and concerns of families . I was able to use two of their meetings to conduct workshops that would feature personas , brainstorming and prototyping exercises . The persona and brainstorming exercises used mind - mapping principles .
In the workshop , I asked the FAC members to create personas around patients , parents and AIR PODS staff – not only to create models of these roles , but to understand how the patient families saw them . Using empathy maps for patients , parents and AIR PODS staff , the participants filled in what they thought those individuals might think , see , hear , feel , say and do .
Next , I conducted the brainstorming session , asking the group to list the challenges they experienced while visiting AIR PODS . I steered them away from thinking about technologies and had them focus solely on “ pain points . ” Participants had a time limit for writing thoughts on sticky notes and placing them on poster paper , much as they had done with the personas ; then , each participant was given a strip of sticky dots to use to “ vote ” on the thoughts . Participants could give a thought as many “ votes ” as they wanted , but when they used up their allotment of dots , they were done voting . I compiled the results and ranked the highest - ranked ideas , converting them into user stories .
In a second session , I divided the participants into groups and provided drawing materials and paper templates of phone screens . I asked them to design screens for their ideal mobile app . The results were a collection of extremely low - fidelity prototypes that allowed us to understand user expectations for an app .
Insight
The personas painted a picture of a harried , stressful experience , regardless of how pleasant and seamless AIR PODS tried to make it . Patients – being children -- were frightened and unsure of what to expect . Parents , primarily worried about their children , were stressed and confused about where to go , especially if they were not familiar with Philadelphia or our locations . AIR PODS staff were viewed as compassionate but very busy .
The brainstorming yielded similar results ; it was clear that patient families needed tools to organize their visits , get directions , and ask questions without having to bother staff . Interviews with CHOP staff confirmed that patient - facing staff agreed with and understood the patient families ’ struggles .
The prototyping exercise produced a variety of designs that emphasized simplicity and the ability to address basic questions .
Approach
The persona and brainstorming tools were highly effective in building an understanding of the patient families ’ needs and concerns without focusing on a technical solution . Through that feedback , we had a clearer understanding of the families ’ mindsets and how the solution would have to meet those needs . The “ dot voting ” portion of the exercise let the participants prioritize their own feedback , making it easy for us to prioritize the user stories later in the project . The FAC meetings provided a “ safe space ” for patient families to express their ideas , while the anonymity of the process allowed everyone to be “ heard ” without being dominated by one or two individuals .
The prototyping helped the FAC participants feel engaged in the process and gave us a sense of what they expected in an app . However , the exercise could have been improved by adding more structure , or pairing up FAC participants with more tech - savvy designers who could act as coaches .

Reflection – Mind - Mapping
Javier Hernandez
Challenge
In early 2006 , I was part of a team charged with developing a mobile solution to enhance the Children ’s Hospital of Philadelphia ( AIR PODS ) patient family experience . Senior management had given us this general task , but specified nothing more . It was our job , therefore , to determine exactly what patient families wanted and needed in a mobile solution ( if they needed anything at all ) , and from that compile a set of user stories for developing a solution .
Selection
As the team ’s business analyst , it was my job to capture the project ’s requirements and define the solution . We knew that any approach would have to be intuitive , stable , easy to learn , and carry AIR PODS branding elements . But beyond that , the team could only make assumptions .
To dig deeper , I applied a compressed version of the design sprint methodology popularized by Google ( www.gv.com/sprint ) , as it would allow us to quickly capture a lot of information about the needs and concerns of patient families . A key element of this approach is mind mapping , which , as Maria Hernandez stated in the Mind Mapping Tool video , helps identify “ patterns and insights from the large quantity of data you ’ve collected during your exploration of What Is . ”
Application
I began assembling patient family personas from two different perspectives : those of the AIR PODS staff , who interact with a variety of patients daily , and those of the patients themselves .
To capture the AIR PODS staff ’s input , I scheduled interviews with senior leaders involved in patient care to glean their insights about patients and families . To explore the patient families ’ perspectives , I approached the hospital ’s Family
Advisory Council ( FAC ) , a group of patient families that meets monthly to advise AIR PODS senior leadership on issues and concerns of families . I was able to use two of their meetings to conduct workshops that would feature personas , brainstorming and prototyping exercises . The persona and brainstorming exercises used mind - mapping principles .
In the workshop , I asked the FAC members to create personas around patients , parents and AIR PODS staff – not only to create models of these roles , but to understand how the patient families saw them . Using empathy maps for patients , parents and AIR PODS staff , the participants filled in what they thought those individuals might think , see , hear , feel , say and do .
Next , I conducted the brainstorming session , asking the group to list the challenges they experienced while visiting AIR PODS . I steered them away from thinking about technologies and had them focus solely on “ pain points . ” Participants had a time limit for writing thoughts on sticky notes and placing them on poster paper , much as they had done with the personas ; then , each participant was given a strip of sticky dots to use to “ vote ” on the thoughts . Participants could give a thought as many “ votes ” as they wanted , but when they used up their allotment of dots , they were done voting . I compiled the results and ranked the highest - ranked ideas , converting them into user stories .
In a second session , I divided the participants into groups and provided drawing materials and paper templates of phone screens . I asked them to design screens for their ideal mobile app . The results were a collection of extremely low - fidelity prototypes that allowed us to understand user expectations for an app .
Insight
The personas painted a picture of a harried , stressful experience , regardless of how pleasant and seamless AIR PODS tried to make it . Patients – being children -- were frightened and unsure of what to expect . Parents , primarily worried about their children , were stressed and confused about where to go , especially if they were not familiar with Philadelphia or our locations . AIR PODS staff were viewed as compassionate but very busy .
The brainstorming yielded similar results ; it was clear that patient families needed tools to organize their visits , get directions , and ask questions without having to bother staff . Interviews with CHOP staff confirmed that patient - facing staff agreed with and understood the patient families ’ struggles .
The prototyping exercise produced a variety of designs that emphasized simplicity and the ability to address basic questions .
Approach
The persona and brainstorming tools were highly effective in building an understanding of the patient families ’ needs and concerns without focusing on a technical solution . Through that feedback , we had a clearer understanding of the families ’ mindsets and how the solution would have to meet those needs . The “ dot voting ” portion of the exercise let the participants prioritize their own feedback , making it easy for us to prioritize the user stories later in the project . The FAC meetings provided a “ safe space ” for patient families to express their ideas , while the anonymity of the process allowed everyone to be “ heard ” without being dominated by one or two individuals .
The prototyping helped the FAC participants feel engaged in the process and gave us a sense of what they expected in an app . However , the exercise could have been improved by adding more structure , or pairing up FAC participants with more tech - savvy designers who could act as coaches .

By Leidy Kabiri
Challenge & Selection
Storytelling is a content strategy from the latest trends in marketing . In order to be effective this resource should be use carefully and with verdict data . The consumer should be able to identify in the story , the company 's value ladder . A good story can cover diverse aspects that connect with the consumer or client , such as : personal value , emotional benefit , functional benefit , and product attributes .
As an example , I can mention the brand Nespresso and their publicity . Product attributes : “ The perfect expresso in a beautiful capsule with good design and a variety of aromas ” Functional benefit : “ Perfection convenience originality practicality and superior taste ” Emotional benefit : “ A unique and superior espresso experience , that prepares effortlessly , that revitalizes you and improves your mood , while it allows you to take a special moment for yourself out of your daily routine ” . Personal value : “ It makes you feel special , complete very well treated in each sip , you feel an exclusive part of an iconic experience . ”
The objective is to create an emotional connection with the consumer . The story facilitates the understanding of complex ideas and help people to relate to product through emotions . In same cases , the consumer will not be able to differentiate if he continues to buy the product because of the story or because of the product itself .
Application & Food Industry
Not all food brands can develop great stories to promote their products . But all brands , without exception , need to explain to their clients who they are and what they do , and this is the core of the brand story . Since in the food industry , the developments once the reach the market , can be copied by the competitors rather easily , the story of each brand is unique and unrepeatable .
The story in the food industry , can show the public not only how the business works but also why it exists and why consumers should choose it . Stories can make the difference between any brand and a brand with meaning .
In developed countries and increasingly in developing countries , consumers make their purchasing decisions more consciously every day . In addition , most consumers have read articles from “ food influencers ” and news headlines that have shaped their opinion and influenced their purchase . Therefore , using a narrative to create a strong and positive image is an absolute necessity in the food and beverage industry today . Also , with the rise of ethical consumption , the need for brands to present themselves as responsible , authentic and sustainable is on the rise .
I would like to point out the example of Leche Pascual . This company uses the day - to - day history of its farmers to show their commitment to animal welfare . Their motto is “ We do n't make Milk ; milk is made by cows . That is why it is so important to us that all our farms have the animal welfare certificate . ”
In the storytelling , this company also includes from the beginning , the obtaining process of the raw material , and the participation and collaboration of all the stakeholders : “ All our farmers wake up early and give their best every day of the year , to guarantee the welfare of the animals , because the better the cow is , the better the milk will be . ”

Insight & Conclusion
Nowadays , storytelling , has become a fundamental pillar in marketing strategies in the food industry . It does not just consist of videos and expensive television advertising . In fact , the use of this marketing technique is especially beneficial for the more modest brands that can see how with an " inspirational " web design they can connect with the consumer without spending huge amounts of money . There is no better format to apply storytelling and leave the imprint of your brand , than the texts on your website and your blog . Of course , good storytelling never compensates for a mediocre product , but all things being equal it is , without a doubt , a factor that generates an advantage . A consumer will always prefer brands with which they identify or admire .

Mind Mapping
Situation : The PC market in Turkey is shrinking by 20%-25 % each year and we were exploring and trying to understand why the decline in Turkey is much higher compared to rest of the world . We conducted two local market researches , where we targeted low - income group , talked with parents and teachers , second was during summer where we targeted premium segment . We talked to high school , university students , young adults and parents . We went to different cities , connected with more than 700 people . The outcome was the same for all age groups & income levels ; there is no affinity left for PC as almost all the needs are satisfied by mobile phones . When we went deep with this insight we saw clearly that this is directly related with the consumption frenzy , we consume a lot and we love it , when it comes to being productive , unfortunately we are not there . Our challenge was to position PC as a “ need ” by changing the daily usage habits . This was very hard as consumers in Turkey use technology mostly for content consumption & entertainment . Smartphones were dominating share of wallet ( 70 % ) . The only way to bring PC market back to growth was to popularize PC Usage by differentiating PC from other devices for the masses . To achieve our mission , we had to inspire and encourage people by showing they can become more productive with a PC . Selection : To come up with an innovative solution , we organized a one day offsite brainstorming event that included the retailers , PC manufacturers and PC software vendores and using mind mapping methodology , we started with overarching idea of # UsePC with the motto of “ stop consumption frenzy , start being productive with a PC ” . We wanted to inspire and encourage people by showing that they can do extraordinary things using their PCs and we built the mind map of different audiences and activities that they can do with only a PC . Application : Under the umbrella inspiring idea of “ PC Upgrading Life ” , we initiated three coordinated ideas and hence projects that are complementing each other . People Doing Great Things , Teachers Doing Great Things and NGO ’s Doing Great Things . In “ People Doing Great Things ” , we found real life stories of Turkish people who changed their own lives using technology and promoted their stories to inspire other people : A visually impaired Turkish software developer that is developing many accessibility solutions on PCs , Turkey ’s youngest composer coming from a very poor family but could reach his dreams using technology , a 12 - year - old young girl who is writing her second novel . Their inspiring stories became very popular and got huge media coverage and turned into a Turkey - wide contest of people submitting their stories of how they changed their lives using technology .
In “ Teachers Doing Great Things ” , in a very similar concept to the previous one , we aimed to start an education movement in Turkey to create awareness and inspiration what teachers can do using technology and how they can upgrade the life of their students . We identified teachers across the country with inspiring stories and celebrated those stories : An IT teacher in very poor part of the country that is appointed to a school in which did n’t had any computers and to teach his students about computers , he had designed and built mockup computer from carton . Another teacher that is teaching robotics to his students to solve the problems of the city ; just to mention a few . And lastly , “ NGO ’s Doing Great Things ” , we worked together with 3 NGO ’s : Koruncuk Foundation for children with the need of protection aged between 6 and 15 ; Six Dots Foundation for Blind People and Red Crescent for Syrian Refugees in Turkey . We worked together with NGOs worked over a long period of time to educate members of these NGOs how to use computers , how to develop software and how to change their lives with PC and technology . Insight & Approach : Mind Map was a great tool to generate , structure , and classify ideas from a broad group of different people including retailers , PC manufacturers and software vendors what needs to be done to change the perceptions , which audiences to target and what can be done for each to support the central idea of Upgrading Life with only a PC . Mind mapping tool was a great tool for brainstorming across a large group of people with different insights and ideas and how to bring all these ideas around a central idea and build supporting ideas and projects to find a creative solution .

Challenge
Organising my clothing rack in such a manner that I do n’t need to reorganize it every week . Usually , with the classical way the rack is organized , that is , by keeping the everyday clothes at one corner and the college clothes at another corner , it wasted a lot of time to 1 ) Choose a dress which takes considerable time 2 ) It needed to be reorganized every week which again took about 1 hr per week .
Selection
I chose mind mapping as a tool because I realized that the main problem with the organization of the rack was that the clothes were kept in neatly folded queues but that did n’t help me to save time . And each week , I was wasting a lot of time in reorganizing as well as selecting . I needed a way to 1 ) Save time and 2 ) Do something about the organizations of clothing queues which lasted for a month .
Application
First of all , I counted the number of shelves I was using for my clothes , which were four , including a big wide shelf with a place for hanger ( which I used to display the special function clothes ) and three small shelves . Secondly , I made a note of what I kept where and why . Thirdly , I used the information and decided how I could mix and match to make sure that I did n’t need to reorganize my rack weekly . Fourthly , I decided to remove the crease - free clothes which I did n’t use much from the wide shelf , and I put lots of my everyday clothes there with the college clothes . Lastly , I made sure to reorganise the shelfs according to their functionality rather than in the manner which just differentiated between the category of the clothes .
Insight
While , I kept the clothes well in the traditional way , but it was limiting me by taking a lot of my time to organize the rack and reorganize it on a weekly basis . I realized that keeping the shelves differentiated did n’t help me . Because , while they were all in neat stacks and perfectly organized according to their functions , it also made sure that the clothes were n’t perfectly visible and so it took a lot of time to do what I could do quickly now . The most important thing for me was to realize that we need to find our own way through the creative process and choose what suits us best .
Approach
The next time , I think I will make sure to be less rigid . When I started of with reorganization of my rack , I placed the limitation that I must reorganize it in the way that I have always reorganized it , that is , by making clear distinction between the formal , casual and every day clothes . But while , the categories are all fine , it took me a while to realize that I can differentiate between the categories without needing to place them in different compartments , and actually organizing the clothes according to how much I am going to use it helped me to finally get over the need to reorganize the rack every week to make sure that I am not repeating the same clothes . While , I realize that we must place a restriction when we apply the design thinking tools , we must choose the restrictions carefully as usually our restrictions might limit us from doing something really out of the box if we are n’t careful .

Challenge In Correos the Spanish public postal service there ’s been a big investment in the last two
decades to improve the services and products offered to clients . Government has a logistical
interest in Correos being the de facto provider for postal service in the country , having the
competition offering niche products . Twenty years ago there was no private sector
competition and , when these new actors appeared with their high performance processes
and low prices , Correos realised they had been stuck for many decades and they needed to
improve basically in everything . However , all the investment has resulted in a big marketing
campaign and a brand new stationery products offer , cleaning the face but not improving the
product much , seriously affecting the employees motivation . Cool & elegant offices with a
modern logo with almost the same old services and processes , which derive in an important
amount of clients complains .
Correos needs to turn into the referent it was or simply disappear in favour of these new
actors who really know how to take advantage of innovation . Selection Since we have an important flow of clients in and out of the offices every day , and the
employees that take clients petitions are also there , we decide to go for a Learning launch
approach in one of our offices . We ’ll get to see clients views and complains on site , will see
why employees do what they do as they do it and will confront these later with the big data
that Correos holds as an entity . We decided for Learning launch because the resources are
aplenty for it . Application We choose to implement it one of the many offices that exist in Madrid , but not the biggest
one; we need it to be big enough to have our own space , so chosen clients can feel
comfortable . Employees arrive at the office at 8:15 and office opens for client at 8:30 . We
start our day at 8:00 bringing coffee and snacks aplenty and separating a zone of the main
hall with translucent screens . We choose 3 types of clients :
Random : Once every other client getting out of the office is invited to join us for a
coffee or a snack to have the chance to talk to a manager representative of Correos
about his / her experience / problem . The reason of taking people when getting out is
because they already had a “ client experience ” .
Problem for the employees : whenever an employee is faced with a situation he thinks
that could be improved or solved , he invites the client to have a coffee for free in our
dedicated space and marks down the problem in paper .
Complains : whenever any client has a specific complain , he can get to talk to us . Our
criteria to treat the problem will be quite straightforward : anything that ’s punctual will
be left for the office manager to be dealt with . Otherwise , we will invite the client to
participate in our Learning launch .
To every single person , we ask the same question : “ What ’s your main problem when having
to come to Correos? ” . I ’ll put an example : “ I came with this mobile to be sent to my mother . Y
expected to have to buy the box ( because I could n’t find a small one ) but did n’t expect that a
parcel service could n’t offer me any cell tape to close it . What they offer me instead is to buy
a whole roll of cell tape for 4 € , the scissors for 3.50 € and a whole meter of bubble plastic for
5€. ” Some kind of “ Oh , that ’s too bad ” and small talk will do while , Mike ( a person of the
team ) will check the prices , the description of the problem and that effectively , there ’s no
other solution . Mike will also talk to one of the employees and will realise they actually have
scissors on their desk , will ask them why they did n’t realise they could offer them to the lady
and he / she will respond “ I could , but chances are I would n’t see them back ” . From here , the idea is having a special desk that offers the parcel ’s packaging , charging a
100 % for the cost of the cell tape and the bubble plastic used and no charge for the scissors .
Let ’s say the whole cell tape costs 4 € , is 50 meters long . We will use less than a meter for
the mobile box so it costs us 50 meters / 4 € = 8cent . The cost for the cell tape will be 16
cent , we are getting twice as much margin and is relatively nothing to the client sending a
box . Then we take a group for the random clients and propose the solution to them . We make
sure they understand the advantages of it and ask them under which situation , given they
have no box , would n’t they use it in place of buying the stationery products as a whole . We
can actually show them the many problems we ’ve found during the morning and get them to
try and find a solution that ’s agreed by their peers .
Insight & approach The insight we got was that people did n’t care that much about paying twice the price of a
product if it made the total amount cheaper . They ’re paying twice as much for the cell tape ,
but since they ’re using just a bit they ’d do that rather than buying it at a fair price and then
having 99 % of the product stored at home . The approach was to create fake stands in every office with all the materials and a panel
explaining the pricing with examples , so people could read them while waiting for the regular
line . The criteria was if the amount of people using the packaging stand justified the time
spent by the employee at that desk in providing the packaging stuff , it was ok . This valuation
could be irregular among the different offices .

### Input: Example Reflection Learning launch
Challenge In Correos the Spanish public postal service there ’s been a big investment in the last two
decades to improve the services and products offered to clients . Government has a logistical
interest in Correos being the de facto provider for postal service in the country , having the
competition offering niche products . Twenty years ago there was no private sector
competition and , when these new actors appeared with their high performance processes
and low prices , Correos realised they had been stuck for many decades and they needed to
improve basically in everything . However , all the investment has resulted in a big marketing
campaign and a brand new stationery products offer , cleaning the face but not improving the
product much , seriously affecting the employees motivation . Cool & elegant offices with a
modern logo with almost the same old services and processes , which derive in an important
amount of clients complains .
Correos needs to turn into the referent it was or simply disappear in favour of these new
actors who really know how to take advantage of innovation . Selection Since we have an important flow of clients in and out of the offices every day , and the
employees that take clients petitions are also there , we decide to go for a Learning launch
approach in one of our offices . We ’ll get to see clients views and complains on site , will see
why employees do what they do as they do it and will confront these later with the big data
that Correos holds as an entity . We decided for Learning launch because the resources are
aplenty for it . Application We choose to implement it one of the many offices that exist in Madrid , but not the biggest
one; we need it to be big enough to have our own space , so chosen clients can feel
comfortable . Employees arrive at the office at 8:15 and office opens for client at 8:30 . We

criteria to treat the problem will be quite straightforward : anything that ’s punctual will
be left for the office manager to be dealt with . Otherwise , we will invite the client to
participate in our Learning launch .
To every single person , we ask the same question : “ What ’s your main problem when having
to come to Correos? ” . I ’ll put an example : “ I came with this mobile to be sent to my mother . Y
expected to have to buy the box ( because I could n’t find a small one ) but did n’t expect that a

My name is Gary and I work for one of the biggest Universities in Brazil , SA Power Utility . Now , I ’m in charge of entrepreneurship area of the TTO of Scotiabank , called Innovation Initiative . One of my challenges is to increase the number of spin off generated at the University . The context is complex , even more so if it is a public university . In Brazil , Public Universitie ’s professors can not open companies and work on technologies developed by them at the University . However , students can open businesses and license technologies developed at the University . However , these students usually have no business background . Besides this , there is little incentive to start - up technology based in Brazil beyond all the complexity of maintaining a company in the country , generating fear in this public . We have a considerable number of companies formed in our incubator , but my hypothesis is that we can do much more , reducing risks and working in an integrated way with partners . Our team has limited resources ( time and budget ) . The proposed project has the purpose of increasing the number of university spin - offs from technological clusters of interest to companies . For example , we would call and select ideas in the health area , and the incubation process would be carried out in conjunction with a healthcare company . Our team would enter the incubator 's expertise and the company would come up with resources to enable MVP spin - off . It is a win - win , we generate more companies in the University and the company leverages its process and open innovation .
Selection
Our team hardly worked with Design Thinking . We have made all the first steps indicated and have come to the conclusion that we are ready to run a learning launch in an area that has almost no cost to understand if we can apply in areas that need investments . We chose one area : Finance .
Application
We chose this area for some reasons : there is a boom of fintechs in Brazil . Basically the financial sector is becoming more and more of IT . We have a very strong School of Computation and with great connection with the market . Another factor is that we have a company in the University 's Science Park that is interested in startups focused on IT . We discussed and thought that it would be interesting to present a joint project for the executives who ended up agreeing to participate in the mentoring of 3 companies . On the research side , we talked to some teachers who indicated students who are interested in the area . We also filter teams from a business model competition that we do every year to check interest .
Insights / Learnings
We learn that students are willing to undertake . There really is a barrier to open a company , that through a talk we can show that there are simple and cheap ways to maintain a startup . We have verified in any way that we need an associate accountant for a volunteer job ( we are working on it ) . We also learned that it is necessary to carry out a more entrepreneurial evangelism of PHD students . They have great ability to generate new businesses . In some areas this is ok due to college courses . However , it is small by the number of students . The company that participated has loved the project and wants to expand to other business units . We are talking to other companies about models that require investment ( eg health ) .
Approach
I believe that the learning launch was excellent for putting into practice some ideas and learning from the internal public ( students and teachers ) and companies . Maybe the relationship seems simple , but it 's very complicated and full of details . Let 's adopt the DT in other projects that we have with the internal public .

Challenge
Agriculture is the backbone of Africa and in my country Kenya it provides more than 51 % of its GDP . This is quite impressive . Unfortunately , the Farmers behind this impressive number still live in poverty conditions . This is because lack information on where to get market for their products , they lack information on market prices they must depend on exploitative middlemen who take advantage of their ignorance . There is also a long distribution chain that dilutes their revenue . I am a founder of an online platform that links small scale farmers to buyers using mobile and web technology . My challenge is to create a simple technology that can be easily accessed by farmers considering that most of the farmers live in the rural areas with little access to internet services . This project includes IT personnel and the marketing team together with our partners from Bora farmer ’s Sacco . The project is a start - up therefore run by volunteer time . The time line for this project should run for at most 3 months to give our software development team ample time to create a prototype of the technology . Our partners from Bora farmer ’s Sacco will help us in structuring the frst prototype of the technology so us to test it with our main users . Once we come up with the prototype our marketing team will help us in our frst go - to - market research .
Selection
As a team , we have decided to use the learning launch tool . We believe this will help us design a simple yet efective technology that our users can easily navigate . Working with some farmers from the Bora farmer ’s Sacco we have gone through several design thinking activities to come up with a go - to - market prototype . Doing this activity has helped us in selecting the learning launch tool for our challenge . This tool will help us go through an iterating process that will improve on our solution . Working with the prototype will help us experiment the idea with a larger group of farmers .
Application
Our frst launch we focused on providing a mobile application that runs on a smartphone , with incredible features like image capture , chat and location . This is to ensure we capture quality information about farm products farmers would like to sell . Our focus was to observe how farmers interact with the mobile platform . This process helped us understand our market , many farmers liked the idea behind the technology , however , most of them did not own a smartphone and they had limited or no internet services due to their rural geographical locations . Most farmers owned the simple feature phone that runs on Symbian operating system . After a lengthy observation on the farmers we realized we should have focused on human centered design instead of product centered design . We spent the next 3 days with both our marketing and IT teams together with the farmers to improve on the technology to run on a feature phone . We worked through all possible solutions and we settled on creating a USSD platform . Our second launch was to release the new platform to a group of farmers to see how they will interact with it . Our focus was to observe to see if there were any gaps . Through this process it helped us understand our market and what our users considered simple . After testing the second platform we conducted interviews with the farmers who interacted with it to understand their experiences and to fnd out if this second prototype was easy to navigate . Our priority was to ensure that the farmers could use the platform with ease .
Insight
By applying the learning tool , we designed and tested our solutions . Through the learning process we got to improve our mobile application to meet user ’s expectation . It is through this process we realized that the farmers were more comfortable with the second mobile application . Our marketing department used the results of this process to re - strategize our marketing campaign . Moving forward our business will focus on human centered design to improve our product and services .
Approach
The learning launch is the appropriate tool for our business . We need as a team to review the insight gained from our frst two launches and incorporate this insight into future launch designs as this is the most efective and ideal way of approaching and implementing solutions . Future launch designs should refect insight gained , progress made , and come closer to a compelling solution ready for full roll out .
Now that you have seen how to implement the design thinking learning launch tool you can try to implement the other tools .

Challenge & Selection I work in a commercial department of one of the leading retail companies and to keep up with the evolving markets , customer demands and expectations , digitalization , etc . , using Learning Launch Tool has become part of my life . In order to increase stock availability , sales and footfall into our stores year on year , whilst protecting the bottom line and profitability , as well as the limited budget and resources , every new project is given a timeline and detailed critical path to keep the project constructive and productive . The last challenging project was linked to a particular category centralization ( at that time decentralized ) and involved members of different internal departments and external stakeholders , with the focus on implementation of centralization in 1 smaller regional market within the 3 months . The purpose of Learning Launch is to get to the truth – identify all internal and external challenges within the B2C workflow and the current ways of working . The truth saves money , time and should the assumptions be correct , the benefits for the category and the business would be substantial . Application The process started with the focus on the current ways of working , resources , processes , systems , data and efficiency . Involving key stakeholders and decision makers of each department / market , short structured meetings and surveys have been set up with clear agenda to identify all the pros and cons , what ’s available to us today and what ’s not and what would be the key elements to address , to overcome all potential block stopper . We ’ve set up a number of different teams and each team has been allocated specific tasks to deliver within specific timeframe . All tasks have been reviewed and further challenged until all the gaps have been clearly identified . It was during this stage when it became evident that current ways of working , processes and system constrains are the main challenges . Hence , we needed to create few workshops during which all challenges were addressed , data quality and quantity has been reviewed and in a collaborative way , new assumptions and solutions were identified . The next step was to create a very clear critical path , prioritizing all the tasks , setting up new processes and new ways of working ( including training ) , with the aim to track / get detailed visibility into the project and to deliver it within the given timeframe and budget . Insight & Approach Throughout the whole process , the top management were fully aware of all the observations and assumptions that came out by applying Learning Launch tool , the necessary steps that needed to be taken to meet the category / business needs . And rightly so , on many occasions we were challenged back . By applying Learning Launch tool , no stone should be left unturned .
The actual initial results and insights delivered further internal challenges , which we were able to identify and solve within a very short time frame . And moving forward with the next market centralization , we were able to incorporate them in the future planning process . Learning Launch tool plays a significant role within our business or in any fast paste environment . Reflect , Review , Incorporate . And as long as all the steps are followed , reviewed and challenged and reviewed again , the future gains are unthinkable .

The purpose of Learning Launch is to get to the truth – identify all internal and external challenges within the B2C workflow and the current ways of working . The truth saves money , time and should the assumptions be correct , the benefits for the category and the business would be substantial . Application The process started with the focus on the current ways of working , resources , processes , systems , data and efficiency . Involving key stakeholders and decision makers of each department / market , short structured meetings and surveys have been set up with clear agenda to identify all the pros and cons , what ’s available to us today and what ’s not and what would be the key elements to address , to overcome all potential block stopper . We ’ve set up a number of different teams and each team has been allocated specific tasks to deliver within specific timeframe . All tasks have been reviewed and further challenged until all the gaps have been clearly identified . It was during this stage when it became evident that current ways of working , processes and system constrains are the main challenges . Hence , we needed to create few workshops during which all challenges were addressed , data quality and quantity has been reviewed and in a collaborative way , new assumptions and solutions were identified . The next step was to create a very clear critical path , prioritizing all the tasks , setting up new processes and new ways of working ( including training ) , with the aim to track / get detailed visibility into the project and to deliver it within the given timeframe and budget . Insight & Approach Throughout the whole process , the top management were fully aware of all the observations and assumptions that came out by applying Learning Launch tool , the necessary steps that needed to be taken to meet the category / business needs . And rightly so , on many occasions we were challenged back . By applying Learning Launch tool , no stone should be left unturned .
The actual initial results and insights delivered further internal challenges , which we were able to identify and solve within a very short time frame . And moving forward with the next market centralization , we were able to incorporate them in the future planning process . Learning Launch tool plays a significant role within our business or in any fast paste environment . Reflect , Review , Incorporate . And as long as all the steps are followed , reviewed and challenged and reviewed again , the future gains are unthinkable .

Challenges The problem I faced is , during my project me being a mechanical engineer I found it very difficult to understand the electrical components and concepts which I have taken as my project ( electromagnetic braking system ) . This made us to take lot of time to complete my project which I had overcome after using mind mapping tool knowingly or unknowingly . Selection We have selected mind mapping tool which is nothing but framing the concepts and processes in a structured manner virtually so that they can be easily remembered . As a student we have to visualise each and every topic that we taught in classes and map the process that would remember by us for a long time . Not only for student for every person mind mapping will helpful so that the thing would happen in a correct time and effectively . When Ideas are linked by lines to their major or minor siblings , thus creating meaningful content and that would be remembered for a long time and when we explain to others the same pictorial content they can understand better . Application As I already mentioned in our project we first read the concepts , visualise the things in our mind and framed then in our mind in a pictorial way . While visualisation helped us to easily understand the concepts , mind mapping helps us to remember and retrieve the concepts whenever required whenever required without any confusion . This also helped me while presenting my project where we need to explain the concepts to the professors instantly without taking much time . Insight Application of this tool in our project enlightened us that any field or any concepts can be easily understood , remembered and retrieved easily if we are following in a systematic way as explained in the mind mapping tool by the Ana Jones in the video . Approach From the insight mentioned about I would like to engage with different fields in career as I had enough confident that I could easily cope up with it by using the mind mapping tool which helped me in similar situation in the past as given in the example .

I come from a Travel and Tourism background . As I completed with my degree course in B. Voc Travel and Tourism Management I got an opportunity to work with a Travel Company which was a start - up . Since it was a start - up , the company was facing some challenges with respect to customer engagement as well as since a year the company was not making enough profit because it was not having strong USP ’s to attract the customers . Basically , the quality was missing . Besides , Companies Instagram handle was not maintained professionally there were no strategies implemented to engage customers . So , I decided make changes for the betterment of the company . As I thought storytelling would be the perfect tool to reach out to our customers and gain their attention because since our childhood stories have been an inseparable part of our lives and in short stories connect people easily . I discussed this strategy with my seniors and they loved it .
Application
I started the process by writing blogs about the different tourist destination that could attract people to our company and so that we can easily connect to potential customers . I used to write it in such a way that it reflects as a story . Because people love stories . I had also arranged for one challenge of storytelling for customer engagement wherein I had asked our followers to write a story of their favourite destination or their most favourite trip . We had also kept a prize for three top winners . We had awarded them with a short one - day trip . This was all about social media engagement . We also had started with podcasts wherein we introduced different travel enthusiastic and travel professionals to our audience and asked them to share their travel experiences . Podcasts are also one of the best ways to reach out to the customers because it ’s a great tool to influence people . Whereas I also realised that if we could guide our tour guides to describe any tourist destination as a story telling then it might be a turning point for our company . I though these changes are essential to increase potential clients . Till date Tour guides were only explaining and describing about any tourist destination but they were not able to connect people that why missing in our company . Afterwards we guided our Tour guides regarding how to engage our customers through storytelling . Even we conducted several workshops for them . This was all about the application .
Insight and Approach
After implementing this practice of storytelling what I realised is it has done wonders for our company . We are getting so many great feedbacks about our Instagram page and best thing is from 500 followers we have got a family of five
thousand members who keep showering their love towards our company . Blogs and podcasts did wonders for our company . People were liking our each and every post and the best thing is most of them were so amazed by our storytelling technique . We also arrange for different storytelling contest for the travel enthusiastic because the response that we are getting is phenomenal . Besides our tour guides are also doing wonders in their respective jobs . In short , we as a company has set a benchmark in the market . People are amazed with our marketing techniques and are constantly appreciating our work .
I would like to share my gratitude towards coursera for providing this amazing course for young aspirants .

TOPIC : BEVERAGE COMPANY
Challenge :
The challenge is of a non alcoholic beverage company which is very competitive .the company has to compete with international companies as well as the local companies .the business of non alcoholic beverage has been changing because of customers lifestyle , emerging views of health and nutrition , changing customers needs and preferences , increase in similar products and price factor . Furthermore , the beverage industry is been affected by the intermediaries , especially in USA and other European countries . If company is not able to change along with the changing business environment it will affect on the companies profit and sales of shares .
Water is the main ingredient for the beverage company .Many parts of the world it is also limited resources . Company consume huge amount of water per year . Demand of water increase around the world and quality of available water decline this increases the production cost of the company and affect on profit .
Selection : The tool that I selected for the challenge is the visualization tool as visualization tool provides us with a quick , clear understanding of the information . Thanks to the graphic representations we can visualize large volumes of data in an understandable and coherent way , which in turn helps us comprehend the information and draw conclusions and insights .
It helps us to identify emerging trends and act quickly based on what we see , it also helps in identifying relationships and patterns with digital assets we can even share our story with others as it allows to develop a new business language . Visualizing data provides us with analysis at various levels of detail .
VIDEO REFERENCE : http://youtu.be/2PBeRbWE79w
Application : How I applied the tool : - the brand used various visualization methods like advertisements , posters , T.V commercials , campaigns and challenges to attract the customers towards the drink
• The company has been successful by using marketing campaigns which are related to having fun and being happy so customers associate this brand with these emotions .
• The company used various discounting techniques during festive season to attract more customers and also gave them offer online .
• Company has given the impression that they are allowing people to make free calls to their families using the beverages bottle caps . But what they have actually done is encouraged people to spend money buying the product under the guise of being able to make a free call with the lid . This demonstrates how the company has cleverly targeted this specific segment and tried to achieve their objective by targeting the sensitive emotional state of these people .
• They even tried to change the flavor of the drink , however switched back to the original formula because of the poor response to “ new ” drink .
• They used the comparison strategy where they compared their product with the other products and tried to make their product look more attractive and cost efficient .
• The company also involved the famous actors in their advertisements which attracted not only the regular customers but also the followers of the actors .
• They also used artificial intelligence for gaining more customers .
• Usage of attractive posters and banners .
Insight :
Company remains at a good position through continual innovation such as their largest adoption of AI . They understand that each local market holds specific consumer preferences in terms of flavor , sugar content , calorie count and consumption and adapted to this challenge using a reverse sales strategy .
Going against linear methods of collecting consumer data , the company optimized their product and sales processes . The dispensing machines have become real - time sources of market research , allowing them to identify opportunity and weakness before taking to our shelves . As consumer preferences evolve , winning brands will continually innovate to stay one step ahead .
The company build a well rounded picture of their consumers through an infrastructure that allows them to be heard . Ai really helped the company a lot as this allowed the dispensing machines to adjust to the “ mood ” of their environment . In gyms for example , the display screen will focus on performance based sodas , the promotion of water and healthier beverages . Machines in shopping malls will display lively , colorful , trending sodas , and hospital machines will appear more functional .
Approach :
What the company could have done else than what it actually did was ; it could have stayed at the same flavour which it served the customers always and which the customers are actually fond of and in their
advertisements they should have shown this as their unique feature as many customers do not like any change in the products that they like and any such thing brings in a thought of switching to the other product in them .
The logo that the company uses should remain the same even if the company has crossed over decades as the customers know the company by their logo .
The appearance of the bottle that was used to sell the product could be given to the customers in different sizes and different looks attracting more and more customers including the target audience as well as the other group of people .
The price should be kept fixed as the customers are really particular about the prices and slight price change can bring in the thought of exploring and finding substitutes .
Should also use the kind of celebrities that could connect with the audience more using old and not liked actors brings in some sort of disliking for the product too .

Design Tool : VISUALIZATION
Challenge & Selection
The tool I have decided to choose is Visualization , Visual Thinking as I prefer to call it . I consider this tool can be helpful to count on the whole picture of the problem I am working on , in the initial steps of the design thinking process . With it , I can support my effort to identify in the most accurate basis , the pain point I intend to solve .
Visualization helps me to make the people pay attention to what is going on ( What is ? ) by examining what already exists . Visual thinking as a tool , guides my group , organizes it , leads the people to discover the outcome desired .
As the first approach to the innovation process , this tool unlocks my thinking , unleashes creativity as well as improves the way I communicate my ideas to the people I work with .
By using visual elements like charts and graphs , I provide an accessible way to see and understand trends , outliers , and patterns in data and discover possibilities I have not seen yet .
Application
In my company , I am the manager of an area called Responsible Care . I usually work together with my team , so this tool allows me to approach , identify , organize and communicate more effectively the ideas within the group . The tool represents information visually , so it can be learned quickly and easily .
I find it helpful to focus on the idea and guide my team members to the outcome I am looking for . By this tool , I can communicate effectively the situation , and I challenge the people to explore the problem , think possible scenarios and present prospect solutions for the outcome I am trying to reach .
As I said above , I use charts and graphs , I can make a development of my concept and make it visible for the group , the abstract idea becomes visible for them because it is expressed more clearly .
Insight & Approach
With the knowledge I have gained throughout this course , I have imagined a better way of working with my group , co - working all together to achieve more effectively the solution we are all looking for .
Cristina Valerio
new ways of working with visualization , adding posts to my initial diagram with ideas and suggestions which arise from the discussions between the team members , grouping the ideas according to the different criteria as a second step , and then finally vote for those which look more representative of the solution we are seeking .
I recognize that the value added to the group by being aligned in the same direction , considering first all the different ideas presented by each of the members , can strengthen us as a team , organize information in a better way and keep all focused to achieve the results .

Challenge & Selection I use the visualization effect as a routine means when sharing the factor of factor with the team when a problem occurs . Especially at the early stage of the problem , various members of the team have different perceptions because there are many of different conjectures and disjointed and uncertain information . In order to solve problems quickly , it is necessary to aggregate problems and information , to determine mutual relationships , and to recognize them all members . In this process , we will draw opinions from each specialist and authorities , then derive the optimal solution . Application First , I will create a checklist . Identify the problems and list them up . We summarize information on spreadsheet received by e - mail or phone , verbal stories from participants in person , slides , etc . , and organize by adding categories , occurrence timing etc . If pictures are available , collate and attach them on . Secondly , we explore to collect missing information . Pursuit blank spots on the spreadsheet and mark up suspicious or short information . Then repeat the process to narrow down dominant factors of the problem . Insight & Approach Create Ishikawa diagram and causal relation diagrams and narrow down the factors .

Challenge
I am a member of the business banking team for a technological service provider of a bank holding company that still uses traditional methodologies regarding the development and management of requirements , we have as a goal to generate profits for our clients and seek the satisfaction of our clients ' clients , that is to say end users .
Working with a platform of a holding company includes challenges such as finding a single solution for all the entities that manage this platform , which in this case are 4 , maintaining stability between the individual requests of each bank and seeking to get new functionalities that represent value to the end users . In the evolution of this platform , you have the opportunity to add functionalities that are carried out today through an office , to pass it on to a virtual process so that users avoid traveling , but now in times of pandemic .
Among the options we had was to wait for each entity to generate requests for the changes it wanted to make , and then share it with the other members of the holding company and thus reach an agreement to create the new functionality .
Selection
We used the visualization method to find out how they wanted the new features to look in front of customers , making it easier for developers to understand and also looking for all the entities in the holding to agree with the decision to make regarding the functionality that we were generating . Taking into account the video Visualization Tool we realized that the design of the functionalities made it complex and we did not always understand the functionalities that we described through documents the same .
We also used storytelling , with this we understood the history of how users carried out transactions from offices , we found their good and bad points , until we understood how we could improve the functionality that we had already drawn giving additional value to the end user .
Application :
We met with all those interested in both the definition and the development , the tests and the people in charge of the product , we had a meeting to know what the customer wanted and the development was painting as it was understood , then we made a refinement of what we had drawn taking into account stories of how users did the processes in the office , such as creating an account and assigning its limits for transactions .
We realized that in the office the user entered the data in a form by hand for the creation of the account and for the amounts the adviser who attended him took up to 30 min to define all the limits taking into account all the types of transaction that could perform the user .
So when applying storytelling made us think of reducing the amount of information that had to be entered to create the account , with a query to the bank 's databases we could bring the user 's data and thus not having to enter them . And in the case of the amounts using " visualization " we made the interface simple with a multiple assignment so that the user does not enter option by option a. define it , but giving the option to modify the data that had already been entered one by one
Knowledge :
We realized that the design tools managed together make the process shorter , with the use of “ visualization ” we were able to achieve a simple interface , but by understanding what it took for the bank 's advisor , we improved the prototype we had made in the first “ visualization ”
Focus :
First I would use storytelling to better understand what happens to customers , I would also perform a mind mapping to look for key points and thus improve the time in approaching the idea that storytelling gives us and finally the visualization for the generation of a possible prototype .

I use storytelling to showcase my solution to our clients in a much more immersive way . It also helps the other team members & clients to visualize the integration of the product into the user ’s life in a much better way . I am a UX designer by profession & I work at an IT firm where I design digital solutions for large MNCs like Unilever , Toyota to achieve certain user and business goals as defined by them . I design websites or applications for ecommerce , office management , vehicle management , Banking and finance , retail space , education etc . At the beginning of any project , my aim always is to understand the ecosystem clearly and the roles and goals of the stakeholders involved . This is the ( what is ? ) stage , and I try to gain as much information about the current ecosystem as possible through secondary research , user interviews , expert interviews etc . Then I visualize the information to get to the core of the problem among the stakeholders through concept fan . In this process we try to get to the root of the problem by expanding it & asking “ why ? ” and find the reasons behind each problem . It becomes kind of a chain of reasons , until we find the root cause of the problem . With all this information we create a user journey and try to find out the pain points of the user and design opportunities where the journey could be made much more seamless and enjoyable for the user . After that we brainstorm ideas to solve those pain points and make a list of possible solutions . To visualize the solutions properly integrated with the user ’s journey we create stories with comic strip like drawings and portray the situation and user ’s emotions much more vividly . Pitching our ideas through stories generates intrigue , as we create high and low points to create excitement & suspense , which in turn expands the attention span of our audience . Application At first , I construct the story roughly in the form of a flow chart . Initially I give a descriptive picture of the current situation of the user and his surroundings and then build up the story on how my product or solution solves the user ’s problems or other frustrations and how the user engages with the product and completes his desired goals with the given product . Storytelling also helps to question and discuss the viability of other solutions presented by the designers , so that the proposed design takes almost every possible situation into account . To create the stories , I mostly pick my content from my initial user research . At the time of the ecosystem analysis , we get the idea of the present system in which the stakeholders are functioning . After that we get more insights from the user interviews like motivation to buy or interact with the product or possible frustrations while using the product . At journey mapping we pick the exact pain points in the user ’s journey through the
product or service . At story telling we just try to show the user ’s journey visually with the proposed solutions as how it impacts all the pain points . We mostly sketch the moments where the user interacts with the product and also try to show the user ’s expressions . It mostly looks like comic strips . This gives the audience a fair idea about how the designer visualized the product and how it sits in the user ’s life . We mostly use the story telling in the research phase . I would like to give one example where we used storytelling to understand how the product features fits with the user ’s journey . It was a hotel guest app for luxury hotels , from which guests can book a hotel room and order a host of other services via the app . We build the story as follows : John is an investment banker . He has to travel overseas frequently for work . This time John is flying from Mumbai to New York . The flight landed at 10 in the morning . John is extremely tired and jet lagged & wants to get to his room as fast as possible . He arrives at the hotel by 12 pm and waits at the lobby for checking in which starts at 2 pm . After 2 hours check - in process starts and he waits for his turn . For check - in he has to show his passport and visa at the front desk for verification after that he is given the key card of his room . John is escorted to his room by the bell boy . In this scenario John has to face a lot of frustrations . The following is the scenario where John has already checked - in online via the mobile app and got his electronic key in his mobile . John arrives at the hotel , scan the barcode at the counter to enter the hotel lobby and then he goes directly to his room , open the door with electronic key at his mobile phone and takes rest . This skips all the frustrations in John ’s journey and gets him directly to his room . To showcase the impact of the solution to the John ’s journey , we compare it with the John ’s present journey with the help of sketches . Sketches mostly include a comic strip of John interacting with the mobile app & hotel counter for scanning the barcode to enter the hotel and then for entering his room with NFC enabled electronic key in the app . But the story will probably start with a scenario of John arriving at the airport and showcase his emotions with some dialogue bubble . So , this is how we use storytelling to express / pitch our design solution to our clients . Insight & Approach Story telling helps audience to visualize and connect with newer & more radical concepts and helps them to understand the impact in the user ’s life . It helps the viewers to see through the perspective of the designer and the user which leads to a better and easier understanding of the whole situation . The visual cues also add to the impact of the solution and the emotional state of the user while interacting with the product . What I have learnt from this approach ? In this course I got to know another aspect of storytelling and a clear understanding of how it is used in business world to create a brand . It helps the audience to connect with the brand emotionally and express the values it stands for . The essence of storytelling in our design process is almost similar as how it is used in the business scenario .
Knowing our audience . We usually design our story to be visually rich and with simple scenarios which are easy to understand for our clients , as not everyone can visualize a scenario in their mind . We try to be as visually descriptive and representative as possible , so that it is easier to imagine the scenario , we are trying to portray . As in the guest app , the clients could easily understand how our solutions reduce the frustration of the user in a particular scenario / problem . Through stories , viewers can easily imagine themselves in the user ’s shoes and starts connecting with the product and empathize with the problem , and understand its root cause in the actual scenario which reflects the user ’s frustration in the story . We focus on sequencing of the story based on the actual journey of the user while interacting with the current service or product . I think the comparison helps to build suspense and the solutions reduce the suspense when they are compared with the previous scenarios . In future I plan to use the story telling as a way to communicate with business analysts to provide reasoning for a particular solution . Storytelling could also be useful to share and express a vision with the team members . This reinforces the belief of the team behind the company ’s vision . A good story could bring together a team which shares the company ’s values and move forward to achieve a common goal .

Challenge & Selection Storytelling is a great tool that I use all the time . I work with vulnerable populations , developmentally disabled individuals , senior citizens , and economically disadvantaged people . Many of these people deal with oppression and dysfunction in every aspect of their lives , they need to be empowered and inspiration is a path to empowerment . I spend a lot of time “ opening people up ” and finding ways to inspire them to improve their circumstances . When I work with seniors , we share stories for different reasons . Often they 're lonely and are so happy to share stories of their lives with me to connect and they find meaning in sharing these experiences as a form of teaching and/or legacy , in a sense . With my developmentally disabled clients I share stories of my life in order to help them visualize a state of independence , I use their feedback against the context of my story to ascertain their goals , and sometimes we use stories to better understand their interests and thought processes . I use this information to develop different strategies to try and find a way that works for them to gain more independence in the areas they find lacking in their lives . Application I have a story about using storytelling . In discussing policy changes with a social service agency , I was trying to explain to them the benefits of taking a more client focused approach , among other things , and in particular , of recognizing each person as a unique being , and addressing their individual needs first and foremost . The agency was in the grip of a “ compliance culture ” and its clients were failing in this non - empathetic , rigid structure . I was also explaining how sometimes addressing the needs of one individual can impact everyone for the better , even if it seems extreme or out of the ordinary . I told a story about when I ran an emergency shelter after a natural disaster . Everyone was doing really well except for one woman whose stress was making her very emotionally volatile . I could tell she needed attention ; in my mind I decided she would be “ Princess for an hour . ” I made her a cup of coffee and sat down with her and let her talk . It turned out that her mother , who was with her , had survived a brain aneurysm and she was terrified that she would fall or that some other crisis would befall her during this disaster while in the shelter . Insight & Approach Well , wow , that was an eye - opener . Her mother was a calm presence and doing very well . Clearly it was time for me to open up with my story . I told her how scary it was when my father had his brain aneurysm in front of me and how I had to get him to the hospital and how difficult and scary that all was . I shared how he recovered well , and then tied us together , by noting how she and I both have parents who survived brain aneurysms . This worked really well . She really needed individual attention for that brief time , and she ended up with that and a true support . She calmed down , her mother , who had become worried about her , calmed down , and everyone around them calmed down . Peace reigned again in our little shelter . So I told this story to the agency , and I think it had a big impact on people there . The policies are being reevaluated and the caseworkers are going through new training . Sometimes a little story can do a lot of good . This course made me see this as a tool in a new way . When I 've done it before it was really " ad hoc , " but
now I can prepare ahead and think of stories that will assist me in presenting my ideas and best illuminate them . I have a design background , but I ended up as an entrepreneur in business . I had no idea this would ever be considered an asset , but I am so very grateful that it is !

I use this information to develop different strategies to try and find a way that works for them to gain more independence in the areas they find lacking in their lives . Application I have a story about using storytelling . In discussing policy changes with a social service agency , I was trying to explain to them the benefits of taking a more client focused approach , among other things , and in particular , of recognizing each person as a unique being , and addressing their individual needs first and foremost . The agency was in the grip of a “ compliance culture ” and its clients were failing in this non - empathetic , rigid structure . I was also explaining how sometimes addressing the needs of one individual can impact everyone for the better , even if it seems extreme or out of the ordinary . I told a story about when I ran an emergency shelter after a natural disaster . Everyone was doing really well except for one woman whose stress was making her very emotionally volatile . I could tell she needed attention ; in my mind I decided she would be “ Princess for an hour . ” I made her a cup of coffee and sat down with her and let her talk . It turned out that her mother , who was with her , had survived a brain aneurysm and she was terrified that she would fall or that some other crisis would befall her during this disaster while in the shelter . Insight & Approach Well , wow , that was an eye - opener . Her mother was a calm presence and doing very well . Clearly it was time for me to open up with my story . I told her how scary it was when my father had his brain aneurysm in front of me and how I had to get him to the hospital and how difficult and scary that all was . I shared how he recovered well , and then tied us together , by noting how she and I both have parents who survived brain aneurysms . This worked really well . She really needed individual attention for that brief time , and she ended up with that and a true support . She calmed down , her mother , who had become worried about her , calmed down , and everyone around them calmed down . Peace reigned again in our little shelter . So I told this story to the agency , and I think it had a big impact on people there . The policies are being reevaluated and the caseworkers are going through new training . Sometimes a little story can do a lot of good . This course made me see this as a tool in a new way . When I 've done it before it was really " ad hoc , " but
now I can prepare ahead and think of stories that will assist me in presenting my ideas and best illuminate them . I have a design background , but I ended up as an entrepreneur in business . I had no idea this would ever be considered an asset , but I am so very grateful that it is !

Challenge and Selection
I selected visualisation because its an important tool for every firms to create an image not just by drawing but by visual thinking to think non verbally and to push ourselves beyond words or language . Let ’s see how Dove used visualisation to be successful . They mainly targeted women and the challenge they found among women was about their appearances . Its true now a days Women do n’t have confidence about their looks they hide their flaws through make up . They feel that their ugly in their own natural way or afraid that society would judge their looks however Dove helps and proves the women wrong let ’s see how .
Like in the video of The Good kitchen story mentioned in the lectures where employees were embarrassed about their jobs but Hatch and Bloom just changed they way they think about themselves by making them think they are chefs working in restaurant and customers are the senior citizens just changed the whole scenario .
Application
Well they used this tool by creating a video which focused on women asking them about how they feel about
themselves in which many answered they lack confidence in their looks they are not able to embrace their flaws and they feel incomplete without makeup . It was all about self doubt and self critics . So the team brought in a forensic artist to draw two portraits of women to compare a women ’s self perception by visually drawing to that of how others saw her . The results were surprisingly amazing . The portrait drawn in the perception of a stranger seemed attractive when comparing to the self perception one . Which in turn clearly defines that women are bombarded by unattainable standards of beauty via magazines and television in which they compare themselves to that of others and undervalues themselves . However through the visualisation process done by the artist changed the life of the women making them realise they are more beautiful than they think , to embrace the uniqueness and it could be easy when we just view ourselves from the eye of a stranger .
Insight and Approach
Wow it was just an eye opener . By using innovative and creative techniques dove manage to keep their video
engaged , surprised and made people to think and ask questions to themselves about their real beauty . The more catchy part was the emotional reactions when women viewed the composite sketches hung side by side by their own perception and strangers perception . As they could n’t really believe they were beautiful in the eyes of others and it ’s was due to their
misunderstandings and underestimation on themselves made them feel less confident in them . The next thing I understood was Dove focuses on people rather than their product that is by putting themselves in the shoe of customers and thinking visually .
So the lessons learned from Dove on using visualisation effectively has inspired me to use this tool in the coming future to think differently right from the beginning for a series of design thinking activities and thereby help to solve the problems of people .

The challenge I am working on is multi - pronged and involves multiple stakeholders across diverse business teams . First step was a unanimous & thorough understanding of the problem statement and I used visualization for this purpose . I used Microsoft excel based data modelling to arrive at chart / model that depicted the current state and future state given that we continue with the same trend . During the initial phase of problem identification , it helped me significantly to define the considerations , scope , goal statement , target metric , dependencies , milestones etc . and allowed for a deep dive discussion with my stakeholders . For the discussion and workshop with stakeholders , I also created a simulator ( MS excel based ) where they could test out with a few levers to define the future state .
2 . Application & Insight : I started by collecting and analyzing past data for a period of 5 years .
Based on my problem statement and scope , I zeroed in on relevant data points aka my ‘ key levers ’ that defined my current state and would be critical in defining the future state as well . As part of the analysis , I created a model / structure to understand the relationship between these levers and identified the pain points across the period of 5 years . This helped me identify the current trends and elements that impact my current state and things I need to predict a future state .
The current challenge was across diverse stakeholders & businesses and having a shared understanding of the problem was a critical starting point . Further , to drive this shared goal , I organized a workshop . Keep the 4 stages of design thinking and outcomes in mind , I planned the session such that we start with the ‘ what is ’ where one could refer the analysis and insights drawn based on past data – understand the pain points , trends and key levers .
To carry out stage 2 , ‘ what if ’ , I built a simulator which the stakeholders had to use as part of the workshop & group activity to brainstorm on options and alternatives . Simulator was designed based on few key levers which was open for the groups to add their inputs & adjust based on your brainstorming ideas / options . Considering these inputs , the simulator built a future state model along with side - by - side comparison with as - is .
At the end of the group activity , each team presented their considerations , current and future visual models . This visual aid , helped the groups to consider many possibilities , discuss , discard and or accept ideas / options that we could take forward to the next stages .

The objective of the study is to analyze the variables that influence the development of Peru , highlighting the interrelationships that exist and noting aspects that are sometimes not very intuitive .
I selected the Mind Mapping Tool because I think it allows me to organize and associate ideas and focus on the target . Likewise , I can graphically account the relationships between them and how they influence each other .

Then the list of variables identified by the team , the same as arise from brainstorming and consultation with experts on the subject shown .
Lack of a State Policy
Deficient Tax Policy
State Corruption
Investment in Infrastructure and Research and Development
Technological development
Primary Economy Exporting
Wealth Distribution
Lack of structural reforms
Deficient Legal Structure
Poor Educational Level
Poor Access to the Health System
Lack of innovation
Values and National Identity
With the Mind Mapping Tool has managed to distinguish relationships between these variables :
Insight & Approach
What I have learned using this tool is that in the group there may be various contributions that we probably would not have imagined from trying to do the work alone .
The multidisciplinary work tries to discover the solution to the problem from different angles and points of view . One can even visualize the relationships that exist between these variables and as an influence on others .

Challenge & Selection
At university , I am learning to use different design thinking tools , one of them is mind mapping .
This is the most effective way to capture and represent the minds of potential customers . This approach is important because it forms the background of data research in a way that allows you to extract meaning from the data and emerging patterns and insights for the development of the project .
The last time I used this tool in the development of the user interface of my application . I
needed to develop an application in which the user would fill out a diary and indicate the calories consumed throughout the day . Since I had the data after interviewing potential users , I needed to sort piecemeal through the data . Therefore , our teacher divided us into groups for brainstorming . So I started using the mind mapping tool in that case .
Application
Let me describe how I applied the mind mapping tool to solve my challenge . First of all , as I said ,
we split into groups and created a board using the Miro platform . This helped us to divide the information into a certain number of blocks and add electronic stickers to a certain block to follow the development of the idea . Using the mind mapping tool , my team compiled a potential client 's empathy map , where we indicated the user 's pains and desires . The stickers and links we marked between our notes helped determine the core value of the service we were working on . This technique allowed us to divide the tasks of the service into several differently formulated ones and decide which sections to implement into the application and offer non - obvious ideas for using different sections of the electronic food diary .
Insight & Approach
One thing I realized after using the mind mapping tool is that this method allows you to identify
patterns in a large amount of data in a more creative , more visual and more fascinating way . Since studying how the mind mapping method works was part of homework at the university , it gave an understanding of how ideas are generated in work projects between designers and attracted people with different experiences and different worldviews around a common problem . Mind mapping allowed my team to unleash creativity and intuition , which served us well throughout the rest of the process . And I realized that mind mapping can be very funny and , as a result , supports the atmosphere in the team and the desire to work further in order to eventually bring something new .
Thinking about what I could do differently next time using this tool , I can say that it would be
better to involve not only my design team , but also the users interviewed earlier to get a deeper understanding of the proposed ideas .

Children have an innate love of stories . Stories create magic and a sense of wonder at the world . Stories teach us about life , about ourselves and about others . Storytelling is a unique way for students to develop an understanding , respect and appreciation for other cultures , and can promote a positive attitude to people from different lands , races and religions .
Storytelling and intercultural understanding
There are a number of ways in which storytelling can enhance intercultural understanding and communication . Stories can …
• allow children to explore their own cultural roots
• allow children to experience diverse cultures
• enable children to empathise with unfamiliar people / places / situations
• offer insights into different traditions and values
• help children understand how wisdom is common to all peoples / all cultures
• offer insights into universal life experiences
• help children consider new ideas
• reveal differences and commonalties of cultures around the world
Other benefits of using storytelling in the classroom
Stories …
• Promote a feeling of well - being and relaxation
• Increase children 's willingness to communicate thoughts and feelings
• Encourage active participation
• Increase verbal proficiency
• Encourage use of imagination and creativity
• Encourage cooperation between students
• Enhance listening skills
Commonalities of cultures around the world
Stories reveal universal truths about the world . Through stories we see how very different people share the same life experiences and how human nature can transcend culture . Performance techniques
Telling a story can captivate an audience ; that is , with the right techniques and a little practice .
Remembering and retelling the plot :
• map the plot as a memory technique
• use story skeletons to help you remember the key events
• think of the plot as a film or a series of connected images
• tell yourself the story in your own words
• create your own version of the story ( adapt and improvise )
• retell it numerous times until it feels like a story
Performance skills
Remember to ...
• vary the volume , pitch and tempo of your voice ( enunciate clearly and exaggerate expression )
• use your face , body and gestures ( let your body speak )
• make your body and face respond to the tale
• have a clear focus and maintain concentration
• maintain engaging eye contact with the audience/ individual listeners
• create a charismatic presence ( make the audience believe in you )
• use different , exaggerated character voices
• use your space/ be dynamic
• remember to pace yourself
• always remember to regain your style as a narrator
• use silence and pauses to add dramatic effect

In a Design Thinking Session at my job , our customers found lots of problems to work in the session and we needed to focus in a specific one to solve . We had around 20 people in the room and at the beginning of the design thinking session they thought and discussed about this and took some of the main subjects to work . But from a lot of problems , we had to choose only one , the most important .
We selected the Visualization tool , because it has an important role in Design Thinking process . Everyone has different experiences , education and points of view and each one interprets things differently . The Visualization allows you to conduct the session to understand exactly what you want to say , even if you talk about some complex or unknown subject for the group . As Angela Mayer said on the video , when we are talking about and verbalizing things we see these things internally , but we may all understand the words in a slightly different way . In the other words , Mena Lara told us that it is not about drawing , the skill or skill that many of us do not have . It 's about using imagery to make an abstract idea more public and more concrete , so that it will be more visible , clear , and understandable to others .
We put the main problems in a flip - chart and each participant received 5 green stickers ( With respect to importance ) and 5 red stickers ( with respect to viability ) . All the participants put their stickers in the subject they judged important or viable . They could choose to put only one sticker in a subject , put all their stickers in only one subject , in the way they want to spend their stickers ( 1st image – DT01 ) . Then , the Design Thinking conductor made a graphic where the line X was about importance and the line Y , viability ( 2nd image – DT02 ) . The result showed everyone the main subject and everybody agreed to make the Design Thinking Session in this subject .
This visualization tool allowed us , in a simple way , to have a better view about the main problem our customer was facing and we could choose that as a priority . If we did not apply this technique , we would probably spend a lot of time discussing what the main subject was and maybe not all participants would agree with that .
I think it ’s a very useful tool and it suits perfectly with our needs . After reaching the results of the Design Thinking , we could work with Learning Launch , with experiments that are fast and cheap , to figure out what are the customer 's needs , if our solution is in line with our customer ’s needs or not and if it ’s applicable or if we must work with another idea .

Challenge
In April 2020 , the COVID-19 pandemic had forced the world into a global lockdown . Governments around the world looked into solutions to complex problems in how to contain the spread of the virus , but also , how to safely reopen society . As an advisor to one of Canada ’s leading behavioural science think tanks , I was asked to join a global expert advisory panel to assess the idea of a Covid tracing application to help better inform the population about their risk of infection and ways to limit exposure to others . Our panel was specifically tasked in assessing the risks associated with the usage of such an application . This presented us with a significant challenge since the problem was a “ wicked ” one , with no previous data to base ourselves on , and very limited consensus across stakeholders : government officials , public policy experts , technology experts , and the software engineers developing the solution .
Selection
It was clear to us that in order to assess risk , we needed to achieve a consensus of the facts . However , with limited data to work on , and many perspectives at play in this cross - functional group , we needed to begin by “ level setting ” everyone on what the facts were . We chose to use visualization as a tool to achieve this objective . Visualization itself is , essentially , to think in a nonverbal way by “ visualizing ” the problem in our minds : in this case , specifically by asking our stakeholders to visualize the relationship between the application itself and its prospective users . We understood that visualization would allow us to provide each stakeholder with the opportunity to look at the relationship between the application and its user in a new way , and possibly to uncover additional risks that they had not considered either through its usage , or its outcomes . Our goal was that through this exercise we would be able to compile a much more complete , and robust , set of information that would allow us to have a more informed position for the rest of our mandate .
Approach
To achieve this we set up the following exercise for our stakeholders :
1 . We set - up a virtual conference in which we explained who we were and the mandate we were presented with , we then explained why we had asked everyone to participate in the conference and what we hoped to achieve through the exercise we were about the present them with ;
2 . We split the group by stakeholder type ;
3 . We now provided the group with an on - screen image of a generic user and asked the groups to add virtual sticky notes around the on - screen user of any number of potential ways the application could be used by the user and how those uses could generate risks ;
4 . Once the group was satisfied with their responses we asked them to then evaluate the potential impact each risk would have on the user and society as a whole should they occur by scoring each one from 1 to “ n ” , where 1 was had the highest impact and “ n ” had the lowest ;
5 . We then asked the stakeholders to again repeat the evaluation process , but this time by evaluating , from their perspective , how likely they anticipated each risk to actually occur , 1 being most likely and “ n ” being least likely .
Insight
This exercise provided our team with all of the information we needed , in the form of 4 distinct matrices , to then complete our own assessment of the reality of the potential risks this new product would pose to the target users and society more generally . I can not discuss what our official conclusions were , but I can say that we were able to assess the sustainability of the application from a “ social capital ” implication and provided our detailed findings , including a formal recommendation to our respective governments . At the time we never discussed our approach in specific “ design thinking ” details . However , looking back now , I can see that we applied a lot of the core components of visualization in order to solve the specific challenge presented by the wicked problem facing us . Visualization allowed us to bring a cross - functional team of experts , with varying perspectives on the problem / solution , and help find the closest expression of what the reality of the situation was through rich , informative data in the form of a matrix .
Approach
What we specifically found , was that there were a number of surprises in just how large of a gap there was between the varying perspectives ( in the form of how they visualized the associated risks to users , but also in how they ranked them ) which we likely would have never been able to qualify and quantify through a more generalized interview , group discussion , or literature review . In fact , some of the responses came as a complete surprise to some of the stakeholders themselves ! In the end , we were able to demystify a complex problem through the use of visualization . In the future , I anticipate applying a similar approach when faced with such a wicked problem , but it may not be the exact use case for more simple problems , in these cases I may opt to use a different version of the visualization exercise itself , or opt for more of an in - depth interview with a small sample of the target users directly .

Challenge
I work as a teacher in a secondary school . Whilst I teach geography , history and others subjects , I have always been conscious about the role teachers have in our students ' lives and future happiness . It is actually , a very inspirational job .
In the last years , bullying cases have become very common amongst teenagers . I started being worried about dangerous behaviours , and I realised I had a challenge with the students group I was entrusted : to make them conscious about this reality , to help them to detect these kinds of situations and make them able to take caro of it .
Selection
I started using the Design Thinking methodology because I realised since our challenge was really innovative , a really innovative methodology would be the best solution . In fact , teachers team agreed with the use of the story telling Since it was probably the easiest way to achieve the goal of arousing emotion and helping students to connect emphatically with those who suffer from this terrible problem .
Application
First of all , we started asking students and teachers about conflicts they perceive in the school environment . We used a simple survey to obtain the results . After studying the results ( with the teachers team ) we had clear evidence that bullying ( especially cyber bullying ) was the issue that worried students the most .
After that , we dedicated some brainstorming sessions to thinking ( creativity was our goal ) about different measures we could take in order to reduce the problem .
Finally , we thought the best option would be the storytelling . This methodology would have possibly to our students to feel the situation in a real way , and become more conscious . Our objective was n’t to inform or transmit knowledge . We wanted them to experiment ( in order to understand ) who is ? the School bullying victim , the bullying type , witness , friends , family , etc .
For the storytelling , we used the film “ Wonder ” , which is based on the novel of the same name by R. J.Palacios , that allowed students to think about all the topics we were interested on . After watching the film , we programmed sessions in small groups that gave the the possibility to share what they were feeling , personal experiences ...
Insight and approach
Using the storytelling tool , we were sure of have been able to achieve our objective of putting the human beings and their experience at the front and center - vision ( as we learned in the course ) . This was crucial because we wanted to experiment a different method .
The way and the measuring adopted to improve our school environment was completely different to the strategies used in the past . We used to program sessions for students encouraging them to adopt correct behaviours , provided articles about the topic and other activities . This was not absolutely the best way to encourage our students to change , as we discovered using the storytelling tool . Focusing in their personal visions we were able to create emotional connections that ( we are sure ) they wo n’t forget .
In the last 3 months , the bullying cases have been reduced drastically and all the community is really conscious and emphatic . The direction and teachers team are really proud of this success , that ( definitely ) has been the beginning and the inspiration of a new way to help our students to become responsible citizens and future leaders .

Organization and Challenge
I head a business unit for a company based in India , and among the 4 major segments of the primary business of the organization , my business is a services unit while the other 3 units are product based . The organization and its brands are well known for their wedding products and deliverables , and have earned a Trust Badge with its huge member base of Indians across the globe . Within my business unit , however , there is a looming challenge of luring the potential member for a subscription given that the deliverables are intangible and the results are not guaranteed ; the services are customized and every member commitment has a different SLA . That said , it is also challenging to support with references since there is no apple - to - apple comparison . My business ’ target audience is the HNI community ( High Net - worth Individuals ) with Indian origin . Given the difficult Covid-19 period , and the new normal that we are adapting to , I believe this is a good opportunity to relook at our approach to our potential members and how we explain about the value of our services .
Selection
I applied the 4 - Whats of Design Thinking in combination with the Golden Circle concept from “ Start with Why ” by Simon Sinek ; and used the Journey Mapping tool to understand the need and expectation of the potential and prospect members . The Journey Mapping exercise revealed some very fine aspects of the expectations of the member , more specifically from the perspective of culture , heritage and social systems . This gave me the idea to use yet another strong tool of design thinking to help the potential members understand how our services will help them in fulfilling their need and also meet their expectation . I chose Visualisation . This tool , I learnt , will help me convert the intangible and unperceivable solutions into a tangible and concrete reality for my potential members . And how do I plan to do this ?
Modus Operandi ( Approach & Application )
I worked with a task force from my direct team , I chose 3 members from diverse culture and different age groups and a healthy gender mix ; this ensured that the thoughts are more likely to cover the greater majority of my target audience . We worked with some base documents collected through surveys using basic concepts of mind - mapping tool ; and hired an external graphic designer for the subject matter expertise . We used images to depict an Indian bride - to - be and groom - to - be to help our potential members understand the journey of a member through the lens of our services and solutions . The visualisation project comprised of graphical presentation of the process through animated bride - groom images , supported by appropriate background scores , ensuring a regional touch to cater to different communities and a well - balanced social - economic - cultural representation . This is now made available in formats of ppt , pdf and video , with small byte size versions as well . These can be shared with the potential members during a solutions conversation ( ppt / pdf ) and/or , shared over mails ( ppt / pdf ) after a meeting as a follow - up sales tool and/or , shared through watsapp messages ( pdf / video ) as a top - of - the - recall method . Further this can also be used for digital marketing campaigns ( video ) and as part of other marketing kits .
Insight & Impact
The initial buy - in of the visual communication was very promising and healthy . The customer response survey showed that 65 % of the potential members found it useful and understood the value deliverables by the brand ( compared to 45 % in the survey before sharing the visual communication ) . The feedback from the dry - run gave some further insights into cultural and social sensitivity to some aspects of the services and the visualisation of the same . Basis this learning and observations , the visualisation project was re - run to incorporate the changes and produce a more communicating version . This approach led to the survey results rising to a 76 % from the earlier 65 % . The continuous effort will be towards taking this closer to a 90 - 95 % survey results .
The improved acceptance and higher levels of communication through visualisation is now going to let us improve our sales conversions of the potential members , help them relate their needs and expectations to our services and also communicate our solutions ’ value to their life and this specific journey with us .

Insight & Impact
The initial buy - in of the visual communication was very promising and healthy . The customer response survey showed that 65 % of the potential members found it useful and understood the value deliverables by the brand ( compared to 45 % in the survey before sharing the visual communication ) . The feedback from the dry - run gave some further insights into cultural and social sensitivity to some aspects of the services and the visualisation of the same . Basis this learning and observations , the visualisation project was re - run to incorporate the changes and produce a more communicating version . This approach led to the survey results rising to a 76 % from the earlier 65 % . The continuous effort will be towards taking this closer to a 90 - 95 % survey results .
The improved acceptance and higher levels of communication through visualisation is now going to let us improve our sales conversions of the potential members , help them relate their needs and expectations to our services and also communicate our solutions ’ value to their life and this specific journey with us .

Challenge and Selection
As a teacher and coach , storytelling has been one of the indispensable tools and techniques I use al the time to help my students discover and develop their potential in such a way that they are able to pattern their profession in line with their potential and passion . Coaching students and adults who came out from inner city schools were they never had the privilege of having a school guidance or career counsellors could be very challenging . Many of these people came out from schools doing things they do n’t like or have passion for . The most pathetic part is the fact that they become a victim of workplace by getting demoralized and demotivated as a result of the fact that they work with their own weakens instead of using their strength to work . I saw the need to help them discover their strength and how they can direct same to for optimal opportunity that could single them out in career path and job placement using storytelling as a tool to inspire them and inform them on how they can use their natural empowerment and talent to turn their lives around in job search and in workplace . When I work with students , I share stories of different stores to help them discover themselves and identify inherent potentials and talent that can be channeled into a career or hobbies . Often they think those skills are just what is different from what they need to become in life . Thus , the stories shared help them to visualize the strength and strategize and help nurture those abilities not just for academic purpose but for accomplishments in life .
Application
In my story telling strategy for design thanking for innovation , I tell students story of focusing on individual strength and abilities and making them recognize each person as a unique being and indivisible entity with distinctive ability and can not be found even in identical twins . One of the most inspirational story I used in my class is the Story of Olympic Competition in the Animal Kingdom . In my story telling strategy , there was a time when all animals decided to embarked on competition and a Committee was set up to sample opinions from all animals on what would be the type of sport all animal should participate on . Though every animal has its strength and weakness , but the outcome of the survey showed that , each animal consulted recommended where they have strength . For instance , when fish was consulted , it recommended that swimming should be part of the game but for lion , it recommendation was roaring while elephant was trumpeting . The story ended up with the fact that the game could not hold as every animal wanted the game to focus on area of strength and ability . Each animal actually has area of specialization . Thus was an aberration for a fish to be sent to learn in Bird school , as fish ca n’t fly . I made the students to understand the simple principle of success and failure in life . That if one would discover and develop what flows naturally from within , he would succeed effortlessly .
Insight and Approach
The eye opener from this insight and approach was wow ! One of the students who was very gifted in music but has a university degree and Oracle Certificate in Computer Science was so inspired and motivated to the point that , he jumped up and had a heavy handshake with me . He has been searching for job for years and nobody was calling him for one . He got himself and resolved he was going to pursue music as a career . A few weeks from that time , he has started sending proposal to teach music in schools
and churches in the city and the wages were huge . This worked really well for him . Few years later , he had gone for post graduate course in Music in University of Lagos , Nigeria . I think the storytelling had a great impact on people , a lot of my students get lesson driven home to their faculty through storytelling and bring out the giant in them and thus helping to rebrand their lives with the victual impact they reflect on .
This course , Design Thinking for Innovation has also in a great deal impact and inspire me to see this tool in a broad dimension . When I did that in the pass , it was not tool professional , but now , with the help of this course , I can diversify and demystify more inspiring and visual story to get students and people succeed in life . I am a good thinker before this time , but taking this course is an invaluable asset to me and I am so indebted to Coursera .
