Challenge I am a Management Consultant and help clients in improving their business processes . While
working with one of my client , who was dealing with high value industrial products , there was an issue identified with the β Customer Service β . Customers complained of delays in resolution of their issues , running beyond the company βs committed turnaround time and on the other hand the service team felt that they were able to resolve customer complaints as per the company βs committed turnaround time . The service team even showed the complaint log to confirm the same . The client was not able to understand this dichotomy and while they were willing to increase the number of service engineers to improve customer service , they also felt that it may not solve the problem as the existing service engineers were not fully utilized . Selection To understand this problem , I used the β Visualization β tool as it helps to achieve a common
understanding of the problem amongst all the different stakeholders involved , before attempting to identify different possible solutions to the problem .
Application I decided to first understand the customer complaint and resolution process . For this I
conducted interviews with different stakeholders like customers , service head , service engineers and sales engineers . After understanding the customer complaint and resolution process , next step was to create a β Process Map β or a visual representation of the process along with all the different stakeholders sitting together in one room . Once the process map was created using visio , everybody got the same view of the problem and started understanding the perspective of the other stakeholders . Insight & Approach It came to light that the customer would inform the sales engineer , who had sold them the
product and not the customer service team directly . This was happening due to lack of awareness about the company βs customer service contact coordinates . The sales engineer would draft a mail and send the customer and complaint details to the customer service team . Whenever the sales engineer was in office he could mail the details immediately , but when he was in the field , he would send the mail only towards the end of the day . The service team would see the mail on next working day and enter that time as time of receipt of complaint , whereas the customer would start calculating the time from the instance that he had informed the sales engineer about the issue . So while the service team was able to resolve the complaint within the committed turnaround time , from the time of their receipt of complaint , for the customer the resolution time was in many cases higher by upto a day . Creation of the process map with time taken for each activity immediately helped the client team understand the dichotomy and the different perspective of the customer and the customer service team on the same issue . The team then started looking at ways to increase awareness about the company βs customer
service contact coordinates and encourage customers to approach the customer service team directly and not through the sales engineer . When contacted by the customer for complaints , the sales engineers also started asking customers to log a complaint with the customer service team
directly . Sales engineers would help the customers with the contact coordinates of the customer service team , in case the customer did not have them . The β Design Thinking β course has made me see the Visualization and other tools in a new
light . While I have used some of these tools before , now I can use them systematically , at the right time and for the appropriate situation . I found the Visualization tool particularly appealing as it brings all the stakeholders on the same page and helps them come up with a solution addressing the concerns of all the stakeholders instead of them identifying the solution for their individual perspective which might not necessarily be the best possible solution .

Challenge & Selection I work on the marketing team for a small company that specializes in educational workshops for new entrepreneurs , and our goal is to develop a series of workshops that will assist small businesses survive the present pandemic . We must also devise an effective campaign in order to reach people who are in desperate need . To acquire some insight into the difficulties encountered by small businesses , we went out to past workshop participants and received feedback from previous initiatives . One of the most common difficulties was that small businesses felt unprepared for the challenges of beginning a business and , in some cases , intimidated by them . As a result of their comments , we tailor our programs and courses to fill in the gaps . However , as a result of the pandemic , small businesses are facing greater hurdles than ever before . Not all businesses will be able to afford the required resources to operate regularly when health and safety are at stake . As a result , our group will attempt to use the Storytelling tool to develop various methods and discover a way to link new entrepreneurs and assist them in adapting to the current scenario . Application Everyone has been affected by the pandemic . It severed ties between businesses and their customers . We were struggling to adjust to the new normal , figure out how to restructure our projects from physical to virtual , and reach out to our clients . One strategy we employed was to share multiple articles on social media regarding the issues we encountered as a business as a result of the pandemic . We wanted to check if anyone else has experienced something similar . Then we talked about how to deal with the problems , such as working from home tips , mindfulness practices , and modifying business processes , among other things . We 've also reached out to a number of businesses to see if there are any underlying issues that could be preventing them from succeeding . There was one small business that was fighting to stay afloat , owned by an old couple . Typically , they offer food and drinks from a stall in the local market . They have , however , lost their only source of income due to the current scenario . They were not internet savvy and had no idea how to get their company online . They were concerned that if things continued , they would be unable to sustain themselves . Insight & Approach To connect , we talked about how we were both struggling to adapt to the situation . We explained how difficult it was to transition from a physical - only capacity - building organization to virtual classes and online clientele . We also mentioned that by making this adjustment , we were able to attract people 's attention , and that everything is gradually coming together . This demonstrated that we could empathize with them and that we merely wanted to assist them in any way we could . Fortunately , they had a son who was learning at home and was willing to assist . We collaborated hard with them to find a local online food and grocery delivery business . They 've now recovered and are back in full swing with their online business . We were able to share our experience with others by using the Storytelling tool , and it had a significant influence on our social media .

Tool selected : Mind map
In introduction , as I βm a French guy , sorry in advance for my poor English J. Challenge : For a French car manufacturer , I was involved in a large transformation program mains to improve the customer satisfaction . One of the Customer survey outputs indicates that a majority of Customers considers they waste time when they come in a Dealership workshop to repair their cars . They said that 15 mn to drop the car off is acceptable but not more . 15mn appeared like a very short time because an after sales advisor needs to controls many points on the vehicle , write a repair order , edit it , sign off with the customer , etc β¦ So , we have to solve the problem β How to welcome a customer in 15 mn when he comes in a workshop to repair his car ? β . Selection As I learned thanks to Lean management methodology , the best way to find out the best insights to solve this type of problem , is to work with people who are doing the job . So , we have decided , with the project team to animate a workshop with 12 after - sales managers , after sales advisors and back office people . 12 people seemed to be a good number because it was significant of the 20 people who worked in the after sales team from the dealership we have selected to make this exercise . We were 3 consultants that seemed enough to animate the group . We have decided to apply the Mind Map tool because the goal was to have a clear view of the reality of the challenge we had to tackle and find out the right conditions our design solution will have to satisfy , in order to solve the problem . Application So , we have scheduled a 3 hours workshop with these 12 people and looking for a large meeting room to welcome on the wall , all the brown papers we will need ! To prepare the room , we have written on brown papers , all the insights collected with the customers surveys and interviews managed by the project teams during the last 3 weeks . Every brown paper has been attached on the walls . To start the workshop , the project team has explained , during 15 mn , what the problem to solve was and why it was important to solve it in this transformation program . During 15 mn , we have explained the goal , the methodology and the timing of this workshop . Afterwards , the attendees have read every brown paper and noted on yellow sticky notes their ideas , information , constraints or needs regarding the Customers information collected . This step lasted 30 mn . Our consultant role was to challenge the attendees to avoid the yellow stick notes display impressions or feeling but real insights only . We have used the 5 why tool to go deeper when necessary . For the next steps we have split the attendees in 4 groups and ask to them to share their sticky notes and try to cluster them in main insights ( the β inside statement β as explained by Marian Moore in the video ) . These main insight are written on blue stick notes and attached on a new brown paper . The yellow stick notes related to each main insight are gathered just below the

blue one . One more time , the consultant role was to be sure that the blue stick notes capture a real insight and not just a feeling . The last steps has been to gather the 4 groups with their own brown paper ( with yellow and blue stick notes ) and share together all these outputs . The attendees have reorganized and re - written some blue stick notes in order to gather more clearly the yellow stick notes . They have connected the blue sticky notes between them when necessary . Theses 2 latest steps have lasted 60 mn because a lot of time have been spent to share and explain each main insight on the blue sticky notes . Insight The insight we gained has been very large because the mind map we had front of our eyes was a complete graphic of very different views about the problem . For example , the groups have noticed that they had to decided what kind of controls on the car have to be made in attendance of the Customer and what controls can be made later when his is left , what the tools the after - sales advisor needs to make a perfect Customer Welcome , etc β¦ Before to make this exercise with the mind map , the project team thought that the main insights we had collected will be focused only on the speed to make the job but not on the value for the Customer , as well . Therefore , without applying the mind map , we would have missed the right criteria to solve the problem . Approach The most difficult in this workshop in my context , was the phase where we have gathered the 4 groups . Because , all the attendees have lost spent a lot of time to understand the brown paper of each group and rearrange the blue stick notes when 2 seemed the same insights . I think , the next time , it βll better to gather the 12 people together to cluster and write the blue stick notes in order to save time . Thank you !

Challenge : I βm part of an organization of ~50 members involved in developing and sustaining software with a good installed customer base . The engineers in this group comprise of both Development & QA and undertake multiple engineering activities which includes but now limited to new feature development ( as requested by the installed customer base ) , sustaining older software releases(defect fixing , troubleshooting issues reported by customer & providing patches for customer issues ) besides engaging in research and development and quality improvement initiatives . All of these activities are with dynamically changing priorities almost on a daily basis . The team has subgroups working on different components which have their respective QA teams . The challenge here is twofold
1 . To improve the workflow from development to QA and finally to the customer ( thereby
increase turnaround and improve customer satisfaction )
2 . To identify slack if any to introduce more quality improvement initiatives ( to improve
long term quality of product ) . All the work undertaken by this organization is greatly influenced
Selection : The team is already moderately familiar with agile development methodologies and scrum process and have some knowledge of Kanban processes . For the purpose of this experiment only a smaller team of 8 people working on one of the component was chosen . This team includes both Development & QA . The learning launch is an experiment meant to quickly validate the idea and the tool to be used .
Application : For the first learning launch experiment , the focus was on gaining clarity into all the work undertaken by the team and to establish the right priorities improve workflow . In particular , the aim was to see if Kanban methodologies & free tools ( for online Kanban board ) available can be used for visually representing the work items undertaken by the team members which can aid in removing blockages thereby improving the workflow ( from development to QA to customer ) . The team was given a quick overview of the Kanban process & the tool to be used . Next during the 2 hour kickoff meeting the work items were added to the tool reflecting the current status . A daily stand up / scrum meeting was planned for 2 weeks to discuss the status of each work item and removing impediments causing blockages to the workflow . For the second learning launch , the focus was on gaining insights on slack that could be used for quality improvement initiatives . This tested our assumption that the lack of clarity of priorities was the cause of no time being available for quality improvement .
Insight :
By applying the learning launch tool , we anticipated to get better insight into the complete set of various activities the team is engaged on in at any given point and to validate our assumptions that management intervention in setting the right priorities to the various tasks would help improve the work flow . This assumption was indeed validated when it was noticed that many engineers were multitasking and were not clear about the priorities and sometimes to the point of being overwhelmed with too many things to do on their plate . Also , the daily stand up meetings brought the work done by all the team members into everyone βs else focus which improved peer appreciation and thereby morale of the individual working on the task . For some of the tasks , engineers were able to get unblocked with help from their peers . Also , it came out clear that the QA was not making as much progress as was assumed by everyone else in the team . It was also noted that lack of awareness of the developmental processes was also the reason for below optimal workflow . Going forward , the insights would be incorporated as changes to the Kanban board for future designs . This ongoing incorporation of insight will continue till the full rollout of Kanban to the entire organization .
Approach : Given that Kanban was found acceptable to the team in proving some of the assumptions before the launch of the experiment , the team will continue to do more launches to gain further insight into the work flow , identify wasteful effort with the purpose of eliminating & also measure the throughput of the QA which seems to be the main blocker in the organization . The experiments will be continued to identify slack in the development teams to introduce quality improvement initiatives without impacting the customer commitments . The implementation will be broad - based to the entire development team at the appropriate time .

The learning launch is an experiment meant to quickly validate the idea and the tool to be used .
Application : For the first learning launch experiment , the focus was on gaining clarity into all the work undertaken by the team and to establish the right priorities improve workflow . In particular , the aim was to see if Kanban methodologies & free tools ( for online Kanban board ) available can be used for visually representing the work items undertaken by the team members which can aid in removing blockages thereby improving the workflow ( from development to QA to customer ) . The team was given a quick overview of the Kanban process & the tool to be used . Next during the 2 hour kickoff meeting the work items were added to the tool reflecting the current status . A daily stand up / scrum meeting was planned for 2 weeks to discuss the status of each work item and removing impediments causing blockages to the workflow . For the second learning launch , the focus was on gaining insights on slack that could be used for quality improvement initiatives . This tested our assumption that the lack of clarity of priorities was the cause of no time being available for quality improvement .
Insight :
By applying the learning launch tool , we anticipated to get better insight into the complete set of various activities the team is engaged on in at any given point and to validate our assumptions that management intervention in setting the right priorities to the various tasks would help improve the work flow . This assumption was indeed validated when it was noticed that many engineers were multitasking and were not clear about the priorities and sometimes to the point of being overwhelmed with too many things to do on their plate . Also , the daily stand up meetings brought the work done by all the team members into everyone βs else focus which improved peer appreciation and thereby morale of the individual working on the task . For some of the tasks , engineers were able to get unblocked with help from their peers . Also , it came out clear that the QA was not making as much progress as was assumed by everyone else in the team . It was also noted that lack of awareness of the developmental processes was also the reason for below optimal workflow . Going forward , the insights would be incorporated as changes to the Kanban board for future designs . This ongoing incorporation of insight will continue till the full rollout of Kanban to the entire organization .
Approach : Given that Kanban was found acceptable to the team in proving some of the assumptions before the launch of the experiment , the team will continue to do more launches to gain further insight into the work flow , identify wasteful effort with the purpose of eliminating & also measure the throughput of the QA which seems to be the main blocker in the organization . The experiments will be continued to identify slack in the development teams to introduce quality improvement initiatives without impacting the customer commitments . The implementation will be broad - based to the entire development team at the appropriate time .

Challenge I am working as a supervisor in Food&Drinks department in a big , international hotel chain . Together with the F&D Manager we found out that employees hired at one particular division ( 7 people ) are not integrated with other staff members . We decided to talk with these unwanted employees and get familiar with the problem . They told us that they are treated with disrespect , no one ever thanks them for their hard work and other colleagues do not see their personality , just the profession . The main problem was that they felt unneeded which influenced their motivation and affected morale .
Selection Together with F&D Manager we decided that the whole department needs some shock therapy . The problem seemed to be deep and burning . Istead of discussing the issue 1 on 1 with all 100 employees we wanted to build a showcase which could be useful in the future and easy to transfer to the other hotels . To be short , we needed a good , appealing story .
Application In a big hotel You always have big events as well . It is a very specific working environment because the company is opened 24/7 and right after busy night party - service comes early breakfast . During one of these busy events ( lunch for 300 guestes , with drinks included ) we asked the " unneeded " and " disrespected " group of employees to come to our office and have a chat . We prepared cakes , coffee , played some games and just waited . First warning calls started to come after one hour . We were answering the phone by saying that we have no idea where those lacking employees are . Then it got even worse . After 2,5 hours we got an information that it 's not possible to continue the service without these employees . But we waited until the end . When the event was finished , we came to the kitchen to make staff meeting , where we asked them how could they be so mean and disrespectful to the dishwashers . Everyone had to work overtime that day and clean loads of dishes all together including us , the management .
Insight&Approach Building a showcase was very important from our point of view . Employees often look at each other in an instrumental way and forget that there is a human being on the other side , with its motivation , reasons and feelings . Showing them how important is the role of each division in our organization was our biggest aim . Dishwasher division was a natural choice because its employees are often considered to be at the very bottom of hotel hierarchy whereas their role in the organization is invaluable .
Right after the event our waiters were asking each other : how are we going to clean all these plates and cutlery ? They were trying to turn on dishwashing machines , use the dryers , trying to guess in which container should they put the food waste . When we came to the department with the dishwashing division , they understood what has happened just after few words of speech that F&D Manager prepared . Their faces showed different emotions , some of them were still angry at us while other ones were already feeling a bit guilty , but all of them understood what did we mean by this example and how important dishwashers are for the comfort of everyones work and guests satisfaction . Of course , we could probably talk with all our employees one by one and discuss the problem of dishwashers who are underestimated and isolated from other workers . We just thought that even the best 1/1 talks can not give better effects than one extremly hard shift at work . At the same time we wanted to make the dishwasing division proud of their work and show them how important are they
for us and the other ones . They are more motivated now and they became a part of the team . We believe that this story can open minds of many employees and be told in different industries . I hope that You can use it somehow at Your job , cause there are always some very underestimated parts of the company , how are in fact extremly important .

Challenge Around 2 years back , I shifted from handling β software delivery β function for a business unit in a software services organization to establish a Solutions team . One of the responsibilities of this team is to showcase our capabilities to impress the visiting prospects . The established way to do that was to make presentations using PowerPoint decks . Our success rate in terms of impressing the visitors to enable sustained connect and/or signing off deals was average . Our revamped deck to highlight our new innovative domain solutions did nβt seem to help much . Importantly we also realized that our Sales team β long used to set the agenda for the customer visits β was nβt on board with the new solutions .
After one such β average β visit , the Business Unit Head tasked the Solutions team to figure a way out before another prospect visit for an important deal .
Selection The team sat about brainstorming and decided to take a 3 - pronged approach to help us understand expectations with priorities and multiple ways of hosting prospect visits , viz .
ο· Talk to sales team and to the Business Unit Head
ο· Rope in our Marketing division
ο· Conduct secondary research by talking to other Business Unit Heads and Sales Heads and equally importantly ask β Google guru β
Our team βs main thought process was to showcase our relevant and innovative solutions during these visits and co - manage the visit with the Sales team . The team segregated all this information as expectations and possible solutions and documented it in the form of slides .
The top expectations that came out suggested we should
ο· Provide a completely different , unique and relaxed environment to the visitors
ο· Showcase our home - work about the visitors β organization
ο· Showcase our solutions to provide our visitors a sneak peek at disruptive innovations
This exercise threw out multiple solutions like
ο· Showing relevant presentations and demonstrations in the conference room
ο· Taking a β one booth per solution β approach in addition to conference room presentations
ο· Setting up an β Experience Zone β where visitors can β experience β solutions and presentations
The team created a β booklet β with all the information tagged with pictures and photographs . Another round of deliberations with the larger team using this β booklet β helped list down what each of us liked in the suggested solutions . At the end of it the conclusion was to set up a β Customer Experience Zone β for the upcoming prospect visit and customize our innovative solutions for the purpose . Simultaneously we carried out seminars on market disruptions for the Sales team and provided them repeated demonstrations of the solutions and allowed them access to β experience β our innovative solutions . This approach enabled us to work together with Sales team to set a solution driven agenda . With the
upcoming visit of a prospect delegation , we decided to use the β Learning Launch β experimentation to validate our approach .
Application For this visit , we decided to set up the experience zone in the lounge area of a conference room . We designed huge posters depicting our corporate information and strategy , showcasing whatever we knew about the prospect organization and their vision , displaying a welcome message with photographs and information on visitors and posters . Additionally , the team created user stories to map the journey of customer βs customers using infographics on posters and customized our innovative solutions in line with the journey creating a theme on which the customer visit was planned and executed .
The posters lined up as β walls β in the entry passage and in the lounge which it led to . Simple yet elegant lighting illuminated the passage creating a β mood β . The lounge was equipped with a big screen to ensure that all can see the demonstrations properly and the couches ( no chairs and tables ) were rearranged to make it convenient for all .
Insight Not more than a handful Powerpoint slides were used during the prospect βs visit . Explanations were done using the infographics on the β walls β and actual demonstrations . The visitor delegation tired from an onslaught of 425 Powerpoint slides they had seen earlier at our competitors β organizations were β pleasantly surprised β and left β highly impressed β in the words of their CIO and understood our point of view on market disruptions and how we can help with our innovative solutions .
Approach Our team deployed this technique for 2 subsequent prospect visits . While the visits were termed as success , we picked up improvement points in our approach in terms of solution selection / prioritization , selection of appropriate presenter for solutions and cost control . While our team is in the process of incorporating these points , we already have an approval from our CEO to set up a permanent experience zone ; of course , with timeline and budget conditions β¦ ο

The first tool I used was the tool of Visualization , or Visual Thinking , to achieve a shared understanding of a problem space among a diverse group of stakeholders before attempting to identify and define possible solutions to the problem . I use this approach often with our customers , who are government agencies working to apply technology innovations to modernize their mission or the delivery of their services to their customer , which may be U.S. citizens , businesses , and non - citizens . I have used the technique of using a straw man visualization of a problem domain with a set of questions or prompts for discussion to allow a diverse group of stakeholders to learn from each other in the process of defining the scope , boundaries , key elements , and relationships between elements to consider when identifying pain points and opportunities for improvements or solutions .
Application
I start the process by creating a straw man graphic of the problem domain . To develop the straw man graphic , I will draw from any existing material available to understand the environment . The existing material may be operational or procedural documents , training materials , marketing materials , GAO or other auditing reports . If materials are not available , then I conduct informal interviews with one - three of the stakeholders who serve as my main points of contact on the initiative . If appropriate to the situation , I will borrow the concept to β front- stage / back - stage β from previous research , and discussed in David Gray βs book , β The Connected Company β . The front - stage / back - stage approach helps to reinforce the notion that every service β even an internal service β has customers with whom the service provider interacts and internal processes that enable the organization to provide the service . The template I often start with also has a column on the left to identify Partners and Value Chain Providers and a column on the right to identify Oversight Organizations , such as Congress , GAO , labor unions , advocacy groups , and other entities that may add constraints to how the organization operates . The straw man graphic is simple , using simple shapes and icons available in Visio or on the Internet . If the front - stage / back - stage view does nβt work , then I will create a different type of visual , either based on a high - level process flow with swim lanes for different stakeholders , or another format . For the activity , I will divide the stakeholders into groups of 5 - 6 participants each representing a different organization or area of interest . Each group receives a poster - size copy of the straw man graphic that they can write on directly , or use sticky notes to make comments . I give them two- three questions to answer , such as : 1 ) What key elements are missing from the graphic ? 2 ) What would you change about the graphic to make it more accurately reflect your problem space ? 3 ) What key insights do you have about the relationships between the entities in your problem space ? I give them approximately 20 minutes to discuss the questions and mark up the graphic . Then I have each group report out on their answers to those three questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their poster . As each group reports out , I record commonalities in the insights of each group , and then additional insights that come from the group discussion on an additional copy of the graphic . After the session , I digitize each group βs poster as an artifact , create a view that combines the shared and new insights from the group discussion , and then create a revised graphic that incorporates their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group .
Insight & Approach
What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that while the graphic β especially the revised graphic that incorporates their feedback β 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 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 β or if they are missing β 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 β that is , it helps them to identify what they do nβt 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 .

As the Sponsorship and Partnership head of my event management company , it is very crucial for me to convince and engage with the investors on a day to day basis so as to hold the gains and hunt for more at the same time . When I started working for this position it was very difficult to get any firm on board because of two reasons . Firstly , I was not able to convince them to invest if we did nβt have some common alliance or in - between person . Secondly , even if they were convinced , it was difficult to manage them as they constantly raised questions about the events and at times , we lost partners because they were not confident whether the event will be able to pull the required crowd numbers . The challenge for me and my team was first to convince new investors through single conversation or meeting and draw their interest towards the event . Also , we had to make sure that not only us but also the sponsors are well versed with the event details and fully confident about their participation . We started with first observing what methods can be used to draw the interest of the investors and the storytelling tool was the best option . Not only it allows you to form a connection between the consumer and product but also make the consumer feel how the product is so relatable and meant for their use .
Application
We started with looking at the pool of sponsors and partners we could have for a particular type of event . For example , one of the events was a TEDx conference organised in a college with around 10000 students on - campus at any point . In a meeting with my team I asked them to thoroughly go through the theme , background and place of the event . After that instead of mass mailing hundreds of companies prepare customised brochures for bigger brands first . Once that βs ready then look for contacts in that particular company . Before the first conversation with the company βs HR or CSR budget manager , look for ways one can connect the event with the company βs motto or objectives . For example if one is chasing HP India , there is no point in telling them how it the event can profit their PR and marketing . Instead , focus on how student , youth engagement will help them grow amongst their competitors . Being a sponsor at a TEDx event which paves way for new ideas falls in line with the innovative approaches of the company . Having a crowd of young individuals 10000 in number is always enticing for electronic brands . We even recorded a small video of 15 minutes asking students which laptops they preferred within a particular range and amongst a pool of 4 - 5 companies comprising HP .
To our surprise it was HP that stood out and it was attached along with the brochure in the pitching email . That βs just one example to show how we cracked a brilliant method to have sponsors and partners with ease . We pitched to the food and beverage companies with the story of how much students loved their products and how they can use this event to try new products . This made sure we had enough items coming in as partnership deals to fill in the delegate kit bag . Likewise , we had a couple of more companies coming in through research and storytelling .
Insight & Approach
Thinking about how effective the tool was , I can say that it helped a lot in the beginning . With time we had to amend the use of the tool with respect to the companies and events . Like , for corporate events we could nβt use the student card so we had to figure out another story or way
of relating it for the sponsors . At the same time , it became easier to pitch for companies whose products were consumed by the audience or people attending the event . Having simple photo booths and things that ensure with the brand and not just the products helped gain confidence of our partners to collaborate with us often and in multiple projects . One of the things we learnt and thankfully we came across it when one of my team members tried cracking a deal with a fake story and the company got to know about it . It βs very important to stay true in the process and profession and this is something I have learnt through the use of this tool . This course helped me in identifying the error and finding the right way to fix it . I wo nβt say that storytelling is the ideal method because now I often experiment with my approach and pitches as it helps me explore new opportunities . This is something that is a the best takeaway from this course for me personally .

### Input: Challenge & Selection

Challenge Since I am still studying for a degree in industrial engineering , I still have no work experience or business ideas , so I will use a small company that my mother has , which is located in the park where we live . The tool I will focus on is visualization , to improve the gains my mother makes from this , since before and during the COVID- 19 pandemic , she has not been making enough profit to maintain the position , as she is buying the assortment , paying rent and getting money for his benefit , even my father has had to contribute money from his salary to cancel his lease . The challenge is to find a possible solution to improve the income of this business .
Selection
As I mentioned above the tool that I will use is that of visualization , Visualization is to consciously use images in our work process , with the intention that an idea comes to life , in addition to helping to simplify the concept , and for the team to understand and assume it to work on it collaboratively . Ultimately , it also serves to create a story that guides us in our work and generates enthusiasm for the innovative idea . It pushes us to expand the use of oral or written language , to go beyond words and to unlock the most creative part of our brain , something we do n't use as often ( http://repensadores.es/tecnicas-de-design-thinking-para- emprender/#:~:text = Visualizaci%C3%B3n , para%20trabajar%20sobre%20ella % 20colaborativamente . )
Similarly , in the videos of the course explained that the visualization was to use the right side of the brain , let the imagination fly , to have a more visual thought of things that may be another way to solve problems .
Application
As mentioned above this tool has not been applied in my mother 's business , therefore I do not know if it will be effective or ineffective , but the way its application would be to visualize a way in which the focus is changed or other products are added for sale , since the other businesses around her also focus on selling groceries like the sweet shop , among other things , therefore another approach or value added would be useful , to obtain a higher income , such as taking sales of earrings , cover that is essential at the moment , among other things that could be sold in conjunction with the assortment that my mother has in the position , another way to apply the tool is to make the position more striking to future customers , keeping the business well stocked , Maintaining cleanliness and order , and the sympathy to sell , as it is located
in a place where there is good traffic of people , I think that way you can improve the income that my mother earns .
Knowledge
I consider that the application of the visualization tool , gives us openness to a different approach to how to solve a problem , since many of us are used to using verbal language and logic to solve the inconveniences we find , in the different areas of our life , I consider that both visualization and the other tools of design thinking , they are very useful , since we now know a different way of thinking and finding results differently , it is a matter of putting it into practice .
Focusing
As I do not yet know the results I will get , applying this tool , regardless of whether it is effective or ineffective , I would like to apply other tools of design thinking , to know the results or approaches I get by applying these , not only in my mother 's business , but in other future projects or work .

Challenge
I am the founder of a company , Which deals in logistics . I take care of all the major strategies to improve the efficiency in the organization . My / Our Challenge is a wastage of man - hours due to inefficiency in the process . We have a transport onboarding department in place which takes care of onboarding the transporters on our platform , But this process takes a long time due to the inefficiencies in the process . As reported by our field executives , the transporters take a long time to meet our executives as the meeting is not scheduled on a prior basis . The average onboarding time of each transporter is around 2 days . The major reasons behind this delay are
1)Field executives directly reach out to the transporters in the market without any prior interview scheduled
2)Transport industry is quite an old school , so the transporters do nβt act professionally
3)It takes 3 - 4 follow - ups after meeting to get all the required documents from the transporters
We will try to reduce the inefficiencies in the process by applying design thinking
βSelection
Our marketing team believes that if we advertise online and get the required documents on phone followed by the field visit , we can substantially cut down the cost and time for each conversion . The new process is completely different from what we were using previously so we need to experiment with it to check its efficiency . So we are ready to use the learning launch tool , Broadly speaking learning launch is an experiment meant to quickly test an idea . The purpose of a learning launch is not to prove you 've got a good idea . The purpose of a learning launch is to get the truth and then the truth either confirms or dis - confirms your assumptions . And the key here is , is to do experiments that are fast and cheap . Because you want to do lots of experiments . If they took a long time you would n't ever get to a good idea .
Application
For our learning launch , we focused on defining the new process to all the stakeholders , We conducted a 3 - day training to communicate the process and align everyone with the new process . Next , We started analyzing the best platform like fb / instagram / linkedin to generate leads and we went through five workshops to structure the tasks . We expected to produce a document with a clear description of our new , more agile processes / workflow . We focused
on gaining clarity about our tasks and priorities . This tested our assumption that our relying on a completely offline process was the main cause of our workflow challenge . We started sourcing leads and reaching out to them online focusing on document collection first and then signing the contract later .
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool our team tested the idea of shifting the process to online . Additionally , we thought through anticipated results , expecting to find that a more agile approach would improve our workflow and that both our team and the key stakeholders would be fairly open to the new process . Our actual results were very satisfying , The complete turnaround of the process shot down the cost and time by almost 50 percent , Also the time field executives were spending in the process of onboarding one client reduced significantly . We observed that people were more comfortable submitting their documents online rather than physically .
Approach
Next time we can use the Visualization tool in order to get shared insights and learning , next time I would use the visualization activity as a starting point for a series of design thinking activities . I prefer using visualization to achieve a shared understanding of a problem space among a diverse group of stakeholders before attempting to identify and define possible solutions to the problem . It would give us a clear insight into the problem statement and later we can use learning launch to test the solutions

The foremost objective of this project report is to recollect all the learnings , experience , tools
approach learnt in project management training . In this I am going to interface all the learning in
to my project at Saudi Aramco which was to β Identify and deploy the most suitable digital
learning platform β . This will help me to revise the project and give me the virtual experience to get
to know the gaps and the bridge the gap by using the PMA learning . The report will help me to
get the IPMA Level- C certification in terms of application of Project Management elements
learned .
In this project my role as a Project Manager I have learnt many things and there are positive and
there some learning experiences too .
Positive Experience of the Project :
βͺ Learnt to do proper Stakeholder Analysis
βͺ Understand the importance of Communication Plan
βͺ Completed the project with in time
Constructive Learning Experiences of the Project :
βͺ Risk Management β In the hindsight , some of the risks should have been identified
better by involving the stakeholders
βͺ Proposal got changed many times and it led to delay
1.1 . Objective of project :
The objective of the project was to β Identify and deploy the most suitable digital learning
platform across Saudi Aramco β , which will help the Global Learning & Performance ,
Seagate fulfill the learning vision of the organization .
2 . Structure of the project report
( This Project report prepared based on the guidelines from IPMA )
2.1 Project Characteristics :
This project was need of the day for Saudi Aramco to facilitate the need to facilitate the
need of all the employees to stay updated in the rapidly changing technological environment and
develop the new capabilities to grow the business . The Global Learning & Performance team at
Seagate owns the primary responsibility of facilitating all the learning across all business and
functional groups . In the last decade or so , the number of technological changes that have flooded
the technology industry in general and storage industry in particular , made the organization realize
that fulfilling all the training requirements from one centralized team is going to be very difficult .
Even the recent advancements in the learning space has supported the learning pedagogy which
keeps the learner in the center and ensures that the ownership of learning stays with the learner
rather than the organization . The need to identify the right digital content provider to meet both
the relevant quality and scale as well as devising a framework to enable the learners to use this
platform and take up the ownership of their own learning , was long felt .
This enablement will place Seagate at the forefront of the list of storage space providers with the
most reliable and innovative products globally . This would also save the cost incurred on external
consultation and certification provided by learning vendor partners .
2.2 Project Stakeholders ( Interested Parties )
In this project there 9 main stakeholders , we had a number of one to one and group discussions
with all the stakeholders about the project and get their views , and there are Stakeholders who
were β Neutral β & β Supportive β and no stakeholders were β Resistant β
IP β 1 β Global Learning & Performance , Global Team β includes the Project Manager ( Me )
IP β 2 β Human Resource Business Partners , Global Team , Saudi Aramco
IP β 3 β IT Team , Saudi Aramco
IP β 4 β Finance Team , Saudi Aramco
IP β 5 β Legal and Contracting Team , Saudi Aramco
IP β 6 β SMEs from identified business groups to validate the content
IP β 7 β Global Learning Content Provider β LinkedIn Learning ( Identified through RFP process )

### Input: 1 . Objective of project report :
The foremost objective of this project report is to recollect all the learnings , experience , tools
approach learnt in project management training . In this I am going to interface all the learning in
to my project at Saudi Aramco which was to β Identify and deploy the most suitable digital
learning platform β . This will help me to revise the project and give me the virtual experience to get
to know the gaps and the bridge the gap by using the PMA learning . The report will help me to
get the IPMA Level- C certification in terms of application of Project Management elements
learned .
In this project my role as a Project Manager I have learnt many things and there are positive and
there some learning experiences too .
Positive Experience of the Project :
βͺ Learnt to do proper Stakeholder Analysis
βͺ Understand the importance of Communication Plan
βͺ Completed the project with in time
Constructive Learning Experiences of the Project :
βͺ Risk Management β In the hindsight , some of the risks should have been identified
better by involving the stakeholders
βͺ Proposal got changed many times and it led to delay
1.1 . Objective of project :
The objective of the project was to β Identify and deploy the most suitable digital learning
platform across Saudi Aramco β , which will help the Global Learning & Performance ,
Seagate fulfill the learning vision of the organization .
2 . Structure of the project report
( This Project report prepared based on the guidelines from IPMA )
2.1 Project Characteristics :
This project was need of the day for Saudi Aramco to facilitate the need to facilitate the
need of all the employees to stay updated in the rapidly changing technological environment and
develop the new capabilities to grow the business . The Global Learning & Performance team at
Seagate owns the primary responsibility of facilitating all the learning across all business and
functional groups . In the last decade or so , the number of technological changes that have flooded
the technology industry in general and storage industry in particular , made the organization realize
that fulfilling all the training requirements from one centralized team is going to be very difficult .
Even the recent advancements in the learning space has supported the learning pedagogy which
keeps the learner in the center and ensures that the ownership of learning stays with the learner
rather than the organization . The need to identify the right digital content provider to meet both
the relevant quality and scale as well as devising a framework to enable the learners to use this
platform and take up the ownership of their own learning , was long felt .
This enablement will place Seagate at the forefront of the list of storage space providers with the
most reliable and innovative products globally . This would also save the cost incurred on external
consultation and certification provided by learning vendor partners .
2.2 Project Stakeholders ( Interested Parties )
In this project there 9 main stakeholders , we had a number of one to one and group discussions
with all the stakeholders about the project and get their views , and there are Stakeholders who
were β Neutral β & β Supportive β and no stakeholders were β Resistant β
IP β 1 β Global Learning & Performance , Global Team β includes the Project Manager ( Me )
IP β 2 β Human Resource Business Partners , Global Team , Saudi Aramco

[ Amira Ali ]
Challenge
The challenge I have chosen is to study how the college experience can be optimized in the
post COVID-19 world of online learning . With the global pandemic , most colleges have
switched to an online mode of learning . This means that many students now attend classes
from their bedrooms . I want to look at this from the collegiate level as I am a recent graduate
who completed her undergraduate course through online mediums . The college experience is
not merely an educational / learning one , the socialization functions also assumes importance .
Something I have noticed , for example , is that a lot of talk about what people miss about their
college is the ancillary programs , or even just the ability to speak to their friends between
classes . By choosing to look at this challenge , I want to gain insight into all the different
kinds of issues that come up with the switch to online learning .
Selection
The design thinking tool I have selected to implement is the mind mapping tool . I have
chosen the tool as I am still in the β what isβ stage of the challenge . I am still identifying the
problems , and trying to establish patterns and linkages among them . According to the β Mind
Mapping Toolβ video with Amira Moore- β Mind Mapping is looking for patterns and
insights in a large quantity of data you collected during your exploration of what is the
current reality . The goal is to establish criteria for the β what ifβ idea generation phase . β I will
be creating a personal mind map , of my own thoughts and reflections on the subject , as I am
attempting this challenge for personal insight .
Application
I started by taking the base of the challenge which is a college . From there I looked at the
functions which I separated into educational and social . The social again separated into
events such as parties and functions ( graduation , orientation ) , networking events , and
extracurricular activities like gigs or other allied activities ; interactions with people , making
friends , meeting faculty , etc . ; and exploring new surroundings . The education aspect
separated into classes , resources and assignments . Each of these have several aspects under
them . At each point I tried to make note of whatever came to mind with regards to the
particular topic . These are illustrated in the diagram . I also tried to demarcate areas that I
thought were connected with each other , such as assignments and resources , and the social
function of people with both classes and assignments in terms of interactions .
Insight
Three ideas struck out to me as insights . One , the idea that people , and interaction between
them are crucial to education . Itβs the ability to have discussion inside and outside classroom
spaces , as well as interacting with faculty members that contribute to a holistic education .
Interaction between people is also necessary for assignments , especially those that involve
group work which is essential to learn how to work with people . Two , the idea of access to
resources as necessary , not just in terms of readings or video lectures , but also infrastructure ,
other technical equipment , and even an internet connection . A person from a lower socio-
economic stratum may not have access to these , which makes it difficult to obtain an
education . It will affect both classes , and assignments . Three , is the independence that one
gains . College is supposed to be a space of exploration , not just of physical surrounding , but
also inner mental spaces of a person , to examine interests and aptitudes . This becomes
difficult when confined to an online medium .
The insight that I obtained was in line with what I assumed happened . But I also have
realized that the problem is much wider than I had anticipated . Several factors which I have
not factored into the min map are important , but I do not have the experience in these areas to
note the exact issues faced . This is terms of faculty and administration .
Approach
The application of the mind mapping tool to this problem is limited in its scope . It only
scratches the surface of the underlying issues . It is also the product of only one personβs
thought processes . If this was to be implemented again , it should be with a group of people ,
from different backgrounds , who can be a representative sample of the populations . The
experiences and suggestions of a group will give a more holistic outlook . There are also
several other avenues to consider such as faculty access to resources , and what the college
space provides for them .

The soul never thinks without a mental image .
Aristotle
There are many reasons why mind mapping is used by millions of professionals , creatives and students all over the world . Here are the top 4 :
Mind maps structure information .
Mind maps can store and structure vast amounts of information . They display hierarchy , show relationships between individual ideas and enable you to see the β big picture β at a glance . These features also make mind maps an ideal tool to present information to others , create knowledge pools and solve complex problems .
Mind maps improve comprehension .
In both school and university education , mind maps have proved to be popular and effective learning aids . By structuring information in a way that is more compatible with visual learning styles , and by filtering long texts into shorter mind map topics , learners can absorb large amounts of information faster .
A 2013 studyΒΉ published in the Modern Journal of Language Teaching Methods ( MJLTM ) examined how students in Iran reacted to mind mapping as a tool for learning English as a foreign language . From the sample group , 83.4 percent of students had a positive view of mind mapping in reading comprehension , while only 16.7 percent responded negatively . Tellingly , in a questionnaire issued after the study , the statement β When I use mind maps for a reading passage , I βm more able to solve post - reading activities β scored most highly .
Mind maps enhance productivity .
The benefits of mind mapping are not limited to education ; they can be useful in a commercial sphere as well . Mind mapping enables you to learn faster , communicate more efficiently and brainstorm more effectively , which is why ever more businesses are using tools like MindMeister to get the most out of their teams .
Whether you βre planning a project at work or writing a scientific paper β mind mapping will help you save tremendous amounts of time . According to a survey by the Mind Mapping Software Blog , mind mapping software can increase productivity by an average of 23 percent .
Mind maps foster creativity .
Two things make mind maps the best brainstorming tool out there . One : The act of developing a mind map stimulates our brain like no other technique and fosters a creative flow of ideas . Two : Mind maps allow you to transcribe those ideas with incredible speed , making for a virtually frictionless thought organization .
During a 2004 study2 into the effectiveness of mind mapping for students β writing assignments , 10 out of 12 people found that mind mapping improved their writing . Not only is it an excellent technique for students to prepare their essays and papers , it βs also a fantastic method for bloggers to outline articles and for authors to overcome writer βs block .

Mind maps improve memory and recall .
Mind maps present information visually . They feature several powerful mental triggers such as images , colors , shapes and connections , which help our brain process and memorize large amounts of information . Studies have found that mind maps can improve memory by 10 - 15 percent , others go even higher and estimate improvements of up to 32 percentΒ³. Interestingly , students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or high - functioning autism have reported that they find mind maps to be invaluable study aids .

1 . Challenge :
Within my organization , a key challenge is to improve the ease and efficiency of locating a wide array of information and data related to the ingredients , components , suppliers and facilities involved across the large volume of products we manufacture . Currently , various bits of data are managed by a wide array of stakeholder groups within my organization and are fragmented across a number of different shared network drives , databases and electronic document systems which currently are not linked to each other . As a result , it is often very cumbersome and time consuming for people to locate the information they need . Making progress toward finding solutions to improve data management and the ease of retrieving data has often been very difficult due to a number of factors . One factor is the sheer volume of information across the entirety of products we manufacture . Another is that any one stakeholder group typically only works with and has visibility to a smaller subset of data , and where and how it is managed , based on the group βs specific area of responsibility . Hence , without a broader understanding of the full span of data and systems across all departments , people find it difficult to grasp the current state of the situation , thus making it challenging to discuss possible solutions .
2 . Selection :
As part of this challenge involves exploring and building agreement around the definition of a problem , this type of challenge is suited for design thinking as noted in Week 1 Video 7 . Visualization was selected as a tool to map out the scope and various bits of data , the data sources , to gain insights and look for patterns and better understand our current processes . Additionally , as the goal here was to also begin synthesizing the mappings to look for patterns , the visualization tool was selected which aligns with comments presented in the Week 1 Visualization Tool lesson .
3 . Application :
For this project , a group of individuals from various stakeholder departments was assembled . The visualization process then started with drawing out big circles to represent the primary areas of information including ingredients , packaging components , suppliers and facilities . Next , smaller shapes were used to list out types of information such as material specifications , weights , dimensions , chemical test results , safety / handling / transportation data , pricing , supplier company details , facility details and more .
Lines were then drawn , in a mapping fashion , to illustrate to which primary area each of the smaller specific bits of information was associated . Finally , the various databases , platforms and document systems were drawn out and mapped to the different types of information .
4 . Insight :
The exercise enabled the team to get a better and more tangible understanding of the scope and extent of the data , and the degree of fragmentation across the various systems . Also , the exercise revealed patterns which may be helpful when further refining the process of conceptualizing potential solutions and later prototyping . As one example , it was found that there are many instances of the same bits of information being acquired by different stakeholder groups and stored on different systems . Altogether , this exercise helped to build agreement around the definition of a problem and also reveal patterns which will be helpful in progressing with the next steps in working on potential solutions .
5 . Approach :
Before we begin to move to the next what - if stage and establishing criteria to be used in the later prototype testing , we still need to better understand the patterns of individual stakeholders and the flow of data . As an extension to the previous project , mind mapping would be a helpful tool to better understand and identify patterns as to how , and at which points , data is acquired , stored and then pulled from the systems by others .

The exercise enabled the team to get a better and more tangible understanding of the scope and extent of the data , and the degree of fragmentation across the various systems . Also , the exercise revealed patterns which may be helpful when further refining the process of conceptualizing potential solutions and later prototyping . As one example , it was found that there are many instances of the same bits of information being acquired by different stakeholder groups and stored on different systems . Altogether , this exercise helped to build agreement around the definition of a problem and also reveal patterns which will be helpful in progressing with the next steps in working on potential solutions .
5 . Approach :
Before we begin to move to the next what - if stage and establishing criteria to be used in the later prototype testing , we still need to better understand the patterns of individual stakeholders and the flow of data . As an extension to the previous project , mind mapping would be a helpful tool to better understand and identify patterns as to how , and at which points , data is acquired , stored and then pulled from the systems by others .

Challenge :
The question to resolve was β how to get fast the right information needed to conduct a task in the frame our working space β . This was the initial questions that my team in Training and Knowledge Management collected from the different users in recent surveys . Since many years , this question has been addressed from different perspectives and applied different solutions that , in the end , they failed to fully satisfy our users . There is too much information that in the end , is not productive as they spend too much time to select the right information source .
Selection :
We apply in an intuitive way , the four steps of the design thinking process β what is , what if , what wows , what works β . We collected all the existing ways that we had to provide training/ information to users and we analyze them in terms of the following criteria : 1 ) accessibility 2 ) speed to get the right information 3 ) accuracy and updated information . When collecting feedback from users , they confirmed that they would like a centralized system , with visual , voice and preferable examples given and that they can share and re - use if necessary .
As mentioned in the Training video β Learning Launch Tool β by Angel Glenn , we decided to experiment rather than building β theoretical Business Cases or ROI β . We decided to apply an Intelligent Fast Failure approach where we were going to test/ fail/ succeed ( Learning Launch ) . So we defined our hypothesis and assumptions :
ο· in terms of value creation , we considered that users would need to reach the knowledge/ information to conduct their task correctly and fulfill most of their requirements
ο· in terms of execution , we wanted a quick and fast access to updated information and execution ( eg no need to login/ passwords , etc )
ο· in terms of dependability , we wanted to be able to manage by our team and no dependency of other departments
ο· in terms of scalability , we wanted to reach in a short time ( 4 months ) 80 % of our population ( around 400 users worldwide )
We had different ideas but we retained two to test : improve the β lessons learned β database that we have with appropriate metadata to facilitate the research , to make it available in a centralized repository and to update the information . The other idea we tested was to use micro - videos with a new tool that allow us to tag the video with metadata that allows the research tool to look the inside the video in the indexed data and that can be shared to other users with two clicks .
Application :
We tested both ideas for the β what wow/ what works β . We prepared communications and sent to the users both tools explaining the changes and the benefits for them .
The Micro - Training video options very quickly showed that users preferred this option and data confirmed our initial hypothesis/ expectations . In one month , we passed from 40 connections to 200
connections and after 3 months we got more than 1000 connections that represented around 70 % of the population that at least 1 time connected to consult the micro - training video .
The first option , even if it was the improvement of the standard way that they have to use the learning repository , was quickly replaced by the Micro - Training Videos and after 2 months , practically , abandoned .
Insight :
This was amazing as it was also recognized by other departments that contacted us to get more information about our Micro - Training Videos and considered to join to our library and/or to develop a similar tool . Users β feedback was in majority ( > 95 % ) positive / very positive . The most value they found is that combine voice recording , visual elements and the fact that the tool recognize the reach and brings the appropriate answer to the search question .
In terms of tools , I can say that the fast launch to test was key to move forward , to accept that it can work or it can fail and that we case that data would not confirm our expectations , we would need to change the model if possible and eventually to abandon the test .
Regarding the first test , that we had to abandon it as the data showed that users did not adhere to the tool , nevertheless , we did not feel β bad β or that we failed ( it was not us who failed , just the idea ) .
Approach :
Next time , we would not hesitate to test more ideas , and to include users not only as part of a β voice of customer β approach but also to integrate them in the design and selection of the tool . The more we worked with them , the more they felt involved and the more we improved the service and , in the end , the more number of connections we had .

The tool I am using for this challenge is Storytelling . Every project has its own story
behind it . The StoryTelling tool aims to forge connections among people and ideate to engage with the audience or make something more precise . I am currently studying at a prestigious university , and my major is Computer Science and Technology . Along with programming and debugging codes , we also have many courses such as Design Thinking and Skill Development to enhance our management and teamwork talent . As a group project , I was assigned to create any product or service hypothetically and give a detailed pitch about how it would help people and make lives more comfortable . I have decided that the Face Mask Detector would be my product keeping the present situations , Covid-19 , in mind . However , the product did nβt convince my sir about the longevity or the success of the product . This became a big challenge for my team . We had to convince sir and give a perfect pitch of how it would help people , especially industries , uphold the universal mask policy . SELECTION :
Our team has decided to use the storytelling tools to empathize with the customers
during many brainstorming sessions and complete multiple assignments . And understand how to develop and market our product based on customer feedback . This tool helped us by showing our point of view to the audience on how we want to tackle the given problem . We have selected this tool to provide a more detailed approach and create an awareness and how important this product is . We have built our pitch by first defining the product , how it came to be , and why we decided on this specific problem and solution . This helped us aware people , especially industries , how to use this product to see who are wearing masks and who are nβt . This would help reduce the virus βs spreading by not allowing people without masks to enter the building and keep track of how many people follow protocols . APPLICATION :
My team and I have used the β storytelling β tool by creating an MVP and multiple
product pitch presentations by using statistics and many graphical representations . This included a very brief explanation and evidence in which the countries using masks have lower Covid cases than the countries that do nβt use masks . We had also thought of improving our product by adding in thermal capability and heat maps to recognize places with a higher chance of having Covid . Our application can be accessed by anyone having a phone or a laptop with our app downloaded . Man business outlets , institutions , hospitals , etc . , can use our service by embedding our software into their security cameras . We have built the application by using Python , Keras , and Open CV . We had decided that this would be useful and protect everyone ; we made the application entirely free for the users ; however , it would be cost independent while integrating it somewhere else . We appreciate this discussion as it helped us to lay the foundation for this project . We understood and come across new possibilities and reflected on our steps ; we will have more discussions , which will help refine our product . Our design team has made their statements on their approach to designing the product as a part of the β storytelling β tool , which had a significant impact on our project . INSIGHT :
While this tool , as well as our product , had raised many questions , we had overcome
all the obstacles . We succeeded in convincing our sir about the quality of our product and
how it is useful . We had connected with many people and industries about how hard it was for them to keep track of the people who were present in a crowded area . Our applications made it easier to track people and keep their surroundings safe . Gradually , the feedback and upgrades to our software helped grow the application βs value and used many industries and people . It had come to the point where people have started promoting the product to other people during events and parties . The hardworking of the entire design team has to lead up to this point . The testing methodologies and the working of the product had captured the audience βs minds . The β storytelling β tool and other tools we used were proven to be efficient and very productive . In light of the ongoing pandemic , our primary goal now is to keep society safe . We believe devices and applications like ours will be extensively used everywhere in the world as part of the new normal , due to Covid and promote social distancing and reduce the potential of unwanted contact while being cost - effective . APPROACH :
Of all the tools that I have learned in this course , I had also created an interest in the
β learning launch tool . β I want to use this tool before upgrading the ongoing product or starting a new project . Customer feedback and opinions lead to creating a more efficient development and empathizing with customer needs . We want to form focus groups and a test team that solely dedicates their time to assess and grade features based upon the customers β feedback to reach their comfort and requirements . The input would also lead to improve the users β experience and to avoid any discrepancies . In the future , I would like to use the β storytelling β tool , not only in projects as well as in everyday life , as it helps connect with the audience and share our opinions and thoughts , which broaden our minds .

The company I lead is a production music library , which provides a variety of music compositions available at any time for a license in TV commercials , TV programs , films , Internet videos etc . The problem we have is that the library was started a couple of years ago and the way of upload to the system is a little dated . For many of the tracks we are not able to provide enough different versions of the track ( like 10 seconds stingers , 30s versions ready for commercials ) . This makes our clients leave us as they claim that they are not able to download the music quickly and they spend hours to adjust it to their productions . It 's a very small company and thus we are starting to lose our place in the market which can be dangerous for our existence in the market .
Selection
We have chosen a 4 . Learning Launch design tool in order to test the possibilities and the ideas that we have with a small group of our existing clients . A Learning Launch is tool which in a short period of time and with a method of small steps can help us find out with a small test group what works and if the chosen amendments to our system would work in the future for a larger group of clients .
Application
We developed a new way of obtaining the different versions of music files through our site , we have made available different versions ( up to 6 per track and additionally at a small cost we added the possibility to download the stems - which are separate files for all the instruments taking part in the music recording ) . We have tested it on 50 most popular tracks that we have in our library . We have made the changes available for a small group of our clients ( 15 ) , who we find the most experienced and professional , as they have worked in the industry for a long time and they have had experience with many different companies in the industry . Additionally we have asked our two colleagues who used to run a similar company which was very sucessful and was acquired by a bigger company and they swiched the business a little . The group of total of 17 people had the new search engine and the new V2 version of the site available for test for two weeks . Then we gathered the feedback which tourned out to be very positive .
Insight
This tool turned out to be very effective . Thanks to the fact that we asked the professionals and experienced industry personas we found out about some additional potential amendments that would help us grow . We gathered very positive feedback about the changes that we have made which allowed us to invest more into further development of this tool and implement it on a bigger scale . Even though at the beginning I was n't entirely convinced about asking the clients about the changes which are just a test , the amazingly valuable insight that we have revceived has opened my eyes in the matter of how the design thinking and different tools that it provides can help us quickly grow our company and get out of a hard situation .
Approach
The next time we might want to consider taking even smaller steps in order to avoid spending too much money on that kind of a big launch . In case that the test phase would turn out to be unsuccessful , the risk that we have taken might have turned out a little too big . If we had a chance we would also want a slightly larger test group for another innovations that we would like to make in our company .

Assignment
Reflection - Visualization
Challenge and Selection .
I am one of the five Co β founders of University of India Organization , a Community Based Organization operating in Nakivale refugee settlement with a noble mission of promoting youth through Education and Trainings . This organization started as a simple English club with one goal of teaching and improving English language skills since May of 2010 up to August 2012 . A refugee settlement is an area with a bunch of opportunities but as a team it was not a piece of cake to identify them and have the same insight on how we could take advantages from them and improve . I have used various techniques such as Mind Mapping while collecting data from English program beneficiaries on what should be done in order to improve and overcome youth challenges within the Settlement . The responses given by my learners were too rich in information and took me into idea generation . I started to visualize how our organization should look like and what should be done to achieve more , extend our goals and attract funders for our new programs . Visualization tool was the master of the game in our problem solving .
Application .
The Organization is now on a stage where some volunteers turned into permanent workers with a regular salary per month . Despite of being in a strategic area with a plenty of opportunities , it was not easy to identify them and have the same visual thinking on how to explore them .
Through Visualization technique , I convinced my fellow Co - founders and enhanced them to have a picture of what was a hindrance toward our development . The core challenges we had was the lack of our own address ( working space ) and discrepancies on how we could turn our English club into an Organization with different activities and objectives to attract funders so that it could move us from unemployment zone and assist a good number of our fellow refuges ( youth ) . In every meeting , I could expose my dreams and make sure that every participant is able to picture and figure out what I was trying to extrapolate and communicate . I showed them how quite possible it was to own an office and hall by mobilizing and motivating our beneficiaries ( English learners ) for bricklaying . We had no means to afford the cost of an office and hall construction but I showed them how possible it was to get funders and supporters if we make a request for a plot and obtain a construction space . With bricks on our disposal they finally sow that anyone could give us a hand in rising up walls . I also portrayed how having our
own address ( office and hall ) could unlock different doors of success and enhance us to extend our programs and goals with assurance , which is the fact today .
Insight and Approach .
As Co β founder , we all had dreams and we wanted to make them real but in different ways and it was hard to convince each other the good way to go . By help of visual thinking we were able to penetrate into every one βs mind and discover what will work for our organization , how we had to proceed from step one to the final step .
If I try to go a bit far from what Angela Meyer said about Visualization in the first week , Visualization as design thinking tool does not only help to see ideas in shape of pictures and give you the image of what you are looking for , it also gives courage , hope for positive outcomes and determination once you find out ways and tricks to develop your concepts in a visual way . It is the most favored tool that I prefer whenever I am trying to solve a problem simply because it requires to take time , explore ideas in a visual way , extrapolate and tackle the problem with an idea of a probable solution .

Challenge
I am the head of a small science communication association in Austria named β De Crown β . We are focusing on science communication / education in primary and secondary schools and kindergarten . Every year we develop at least one new set of 4 corresponding 2h workshops for the teachers to choose from and we also try to find funding or sponsoring , so the courses can be free or at least halve priced for the kids . As a scientist it can be very challenging to meet the educational demands of the teachers AND the kids , appropriate of their age and of their prior education . We want to inspire , raise their curiosity and awareness , build scientific knowledge ( in teachers and kids ) and not to overstrain them .
My challenge is to develop those β perfect β ( age adaptable ) workshops with a very limited budget
Selection
To test critical parts of the new workshops we decided to identify volunteer teachers who are willing to give feedback and allow us some testing in their classes and have a learning launch .
A learning launch is all about assumption testing β an experiment conducted in real live situations , quickly and inexpensive . ( in our case β will they like the new experiments as much as we do ? Will the material we provide be sufficient ? Will we be able to adapt to the different ages of the kids ? Will it all work out with 25 over exited kids in a too small classroom ? )
Application
To have our learning launch of those critical experiments we asked four teachers we had worked with before , if they would like to test some new experiment we developed with their class . They were all happy to help us developing courses and immediately agreed . Usually we have packages of four 2h - courses focussing on different topics , but the first 2h ours of each package are exactly the same in all of them , focussing on the nature of science . So we decided to use one of those two hours for the learning launch of our new prototype experiments , so that we would not take away too much time of the main topic . During the learning launch we focussed on our assumptions and on how the kids and the teachers reacted , what delighted them , what was frustrating ? Did they get the insights we wanted them to achieve ?
Insight
We found that in some experiments the materials we provided where not optimal for that age and we needed to simplify things for the next class . But most science communication concepts work out great . We were also thrilled to get very helpful feedback from the teachers and we had the impression that they really appreciated
being involved in our work . In summary the learning launches worked out great and with very beneficial results for our course development and customer relationship .
Approach
When developing our next workshop block we will again work with the learning launch , since it was appreciated by teachers and also gave good results .
Additionally , next term we are going to develop a new course format - tinkering for teachers in Austrian primary education - targeting a new ( adult ) audience . We already applied for funding so we hopefully will be financially able to use all the elements of the design thinking process for our course development .

Challenge & Selection
The tool I applied is the learning lunch , which basically consists on testing a prototype of the final product idea with the stakeholders in order to improve / modify the idea and reach the best final product possible .
I work for a consultancy firm based in Barcelona and the challenge was to ensure that the OS that was developing another IT partner for our client was perfectly adapted to the final user needs . The OS basically consisted on an integrated system for a production company ( stock management ; cost assignment to departments ; sales rapport etc ) . The usual approach for this type of projects basically consists on developing completely the system , with the IT department involved on the OS development , before the final user sees it . Even though it βs true that the technology department of the firm guides all the process , they are not the final users , and their concerns do nβt always coincide with the concerns of the final users , that βs why we decided to apply something very similar to the concept of learning lunch : test the different prototypes of the OS with the final users before the software is completely developed in order to ensure that the final solution perfectly suits the user needs .
Application
I am going to describe briefly the way we structured the project using as example the main department of the firm .
The first thing we did consisted in identifying which was going to be the final user of each one of the different modules of the OS . The most important module was the production module , since this was the department with the highest number of workers and the less willing to adapt the way they were working to the system , so the system must fit perfectly the workers main needs .
Secondly we selected a small group of representative workers among the production department and we set up a meeting with them on a friendly environment ( not on the small meeting room where usually this meetings take place , but in the big conference room with coffee , juice , tee and biscuits , where almost never go ) and we let them try the different functionalities ( stock registration , registration of hours dedicated to each project etc ) of the system as it was developed in that moment . On that meeting , the workers identified many things that were nβt working the way they expected to . For example : The registration of hours required introducing the code of the project they were working on , and many times the worker does nβt know this code or , in the initial stages of the project , it has not even been created .
After the meeting , we analyzed the comments and the feelings given for the workers , translated them into possible solutions ( in the registration of hour example , we proposed to insert a searcher where the workers could find the code of the project by introducing words related with the project itself ) and we gave those solution to the partner that was developing the OS .
Once the developer implemented the solution we proposed we met again with the workers and repeated the whole process three times before reaching the optimal solution .
Insight
I thing that the way we conducted the project ( showing the system to the workers even it was nβt completely developed and taking into account their concerns into the development process ) gave us the possibility to provide a final solution that fit the workers need almost perfectly and needed minimum adjustments . Because of that , the client was highly satisfied with the OS he ended up with and we also saved the costs and time of introducing major changes once the development is finalized ( which usually are much higher ) .
I think that involving the stake holders on the early stages of the development is generally an excellent way of improving the solution you βre selling to the client and preventing future ( and more expensive ) costs .
Approach
I think that if we developed the OS we would try to take into account workers concerns even before starting the development process , as we learned on the β what is β lectures . Probably if we had done that , this solution would have been better designed from the beginning and we would nβt have needed to readjust the prototypes so many times

Challenge :
It βs hard to believe that the ever - successful start - up Airbnb was once making less than $ 200 per week . What grew their revenue and transformed Airbnb into a billion dollar business ?
Selection :
Lots of experimentation , risk , and thinking outside of the norm .
Application :
Joe Gebbia and Paul Graham , co - founders of Airbnb , remember going over numerous charts , graphs , and codes with their design team trying to find some clue as to why their growth was nearly zero .
Insight :
It was nβt until Gebbia began moving through the app like a user that he realized why no one was wanting to book a stay β the pictures looked terrible ! Without any data to back their next decision , Graham and Gebbia decided to rent a camera , travel to New York and spend some time with their customers to replace the amateur photos with more professional - looking ones .
Approach :
A week later , their revenue nearly doubled . By taking a risk on a non - scalable solution , Graham and Gebbia witnessed their dwindling start - up transform into a thriving enterprise that revolutionized the travel industry .

Challenge & Selection
Storytelling is a great tool that I use all the time . I work with peoples who have long term diseases . Most of them lives comes to end very soon , they all were mentally ill which directly showed in their faces . The challenge was to keep them happy until they life time . Thus , I understood what is the problem within them and I thought to use Storytelling as a tool to make them happy .
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 . 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 successful men and women and also giving the hope whatever happens is for good . The story I told was mostly moral story about original lives .
Insight & Approach
One man in the group was not doing well . Whatever story was said he was not intrested . Then I came up with a story which has lot of questions and surprise elements . The story not only made to interact but also made him that till the time he was a good man with positive vibes , the vibes came out of him and he became happy .This worked really well . He really needed individual attention for that brief time , and she ended up with that and a true support . He calmed down , his family who become worried about him , 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 !

In the specialty coffee industry , there are a lot of terms and a lot of difficult vocabulary and things that you need to have in mind at every moment , there are a lot of terms such as commercial and specialty coffee , green coffee , Arabic coffee , a lot of types of plants , microclimate , etc . coffee is a big world so with this tool we can take care of every term and a lot of information that everybody at this industry should know .
Application
I started this process by investigating every possible information that I can borrow from articles and important stuff like that , a place where I can be sure there was valid information , then I continued with getting sections , where everything match with de tittle and getting matching subtitles so I make a big map with so much information .
I get a lot of sections for example the one which I write of the different types of beans , where they are Arabic coffee and robust coffee , where both have different flavors and different odors , also I defined that Arabic coffee is the one that people prefer the best , because of their characteristics , well I mapped all those sections in which you can have a lot of information that when you read this mind map you βll know all about coffee and specialty coffee .
With this method I learn a lot about coffee and it was really interesting because its one of the most popular beverages in the world , it is the most consumed by the world population after water so it is a really good thing to know about .
Insight & Approach
I get a lot of learning with all of this it helped me to know all about coffee I learned all of its process with the construction of this mind map , I get knowledge of the variety of its plants , the different flavors that they get because of all the processes they get , depending if they are honey , classic or washed . It is a really good tool for everyone that wants to learn a lot and memorize stuff . I really liked using it and learning about everything in this course it helped me and inspire to make more investigations like the one I make for specialty coffees .

Challenge & Selection
My job revolves around transformation and change management in my organization . The key challenge I face is to convince people mostly senior leaders on why we need to change and to trigger the state of urgency in order to create awareness and desire to change β mindset is a key roadblock . Based on numerous personal experiences I discovered that creating the awareness and desire to change requires a lot of empathy , connecting to emotions and values of the stakeholders involved . Once you have the mindset great transformations just happens and are sustainable .
I hence use the storytelling tool to win my audience and stakeholders . I think storytelling really helps when you need to connect to your stakeholders , creating a cause and helps in sharing the piece of information better . The tool has been greatly useful in creating the sense of urgency for the change that is needed in the organization , getting better buy in , commitment and sponsorship . Therefore , deliver successful and sustainable results .
Application
I follow a short checklist to create a compelling story for my audience from a change management perspective
a. Know my audience : What is the biggest hairy problem in front of them ? How can the change
move the needle ? What do they value ? What are they emotional about ?
b. Articulate the cause that connects to the problems of the audience c. Use a small cross functional virtual team of experts to create a compelling story d. Create an issue/ hypothesis tree which is mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive e. Collect data / hard facts wherever possible to prove / disprove the hypothesis f. Use assumptions ( validated by subject matter experts ) wherever data is not available g. Summarize situation and complication : This is extremely important to create the sense of
urgency . Based on hard facts , hypothesis , experiments , analysis and assumptions we need to create the situation/ state of urgency we are in . This helps to attract the audience to the cause .
h. Storyboarding : Combined with stakeholder interests and data at hand , this helps to create
the intrigue and detail which the audience would like to see . Helps to get their attention and commitment
i. Resolution , Next steps and discussion : Suggestion of next steps , resolution and discussion to draw people to the cause . Most of this includes how can we create the awareness , desire , knowledge and ability to solve the problem .
In all these steps above it is most important to ask the β So What ? β keeping the stakeholder in mind
Insight and Approach
I have discovered from my various interactions with senior that they look forward to interesting discussions , want to get involved , be part of a cause and inspire the organization . The storytelling tool exactly helps to create this passion and excitement around the table . It helps them to connect to the 80 % of the people that they do not have control of . Create the ripple and hence sustainable change .
In my current role , I think I would use storytelling as a tool to connect people to a cause rather than a problem . A cause helps to motivate people , create a movement , drive sustainable change , build closely bound / effective teams and move the organization towards one vision .

Media habits and consumer habits changed during pandemic .
To reach consumer effectively we should try new methods .
People now believe not only in people but in brands . As brands , we need to determine the needs of consumers correctly . This means ensuring we should have a clear understanding of their wants , needs , jobs to be done and the context of use of the product or content , achieved through observation , interview or other forms of research .
Brands can change the society by understanding the consumers correctly and taking the right steps . Thus every brand should have a purpose .
In addition , every brand should correctly analyze cultural changes and consumer needs changes . Make short - term and long - term action plans within the framework of these analyzes .
They can use the following 3 tools to achieve this goal .
1 ) Future of storytelling 2 ) To adhere to brand and media essences 3 ) Act according to virtual life , new normal
Future of storytelling :
Looking away from what we have to do in the face of change causes us to make mistakes from time to time . Brands should lead consumer to advance the brand 's existing strengths and ties with the consumer with creativity . We have to create a story that feeds on emotions . What we need to do today is to continue telling stories without breaking the brand core .
To adhere to brand and media essences : Advertising to the channels ? to be a part of the media ?
Many brands changed the language of communication and the way they use the media during the pandemic . It is important to be unique at this point . Brands should be bolder and more original to use new channels .
For example , tiktok is defined as a platform where people can express themselves as they are . For this reason , brands are also expected to become content producers . Standard advertisements should not be given to channels such as tik tok , if brands can act according to the spirit of this place , they should advertise here .
Act according to virtual life , new normal : Was Black mirror warning us about the postnormal ?
50 % of the live events to be held in 2021 will be realized virtually . In this process , brands that provide immersive VR experience are expected to stand out . It is important to remember the physical areas in the virtual environment for the consumer .
It is important to remember the physical areas in the virtual environment for the consumer . Brands that want to increase their interaction with consumers offer consumers new online experiences .
Taking this into account , ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY took its place with consumers in this process with advertising films .
We plan our use of channels according to the new normal process as well

Challenge :
I am a College Student . The challenge in my case was that myself and some
of the other students along with the staff incharge were asked to list out the difficulties for students in studies . First we , the class committee discussed about the difficulties and we felt that we were n't clear in expressing our points . So , our staff incharge asked us to do some creative idea to do this and give some suggestion along the list to make us stand out from others .
Selected Tool :
I suggested to use mind mapping tool to organize our points in some kind
of flow / order and make it clear for the others who look at this . Mind Mapping is a tool in design thinking to find some kind of the pattern or theme in our collected information and get some idea to overcome the difficulties in the collected data . Mind mapping in design thinking is not about just one persons mind but about mapping the data from minds of various persons . This mind mapping is done by a few persons to represent the pattern of their own amd discuss the different pattern to come up with one better idea .
Application :
In our challenge we used this mind mapping on the thoughts of the
toppers , mediocres and slow learners . These thoughts showed diverse variations and made us think of whether we canplot it or not . From our class committee we asked one from each of the 3 category to come out and try to find some pattern with thoughts . At first , they were a bit confussed on how to do but on showing them how to do it , they got the idea and started finding pattern with the thughts . Among all the three we found out some common base like their attention towards lectures were having impacts in their marks . Similarly , we found some other similar thoughts from the list and some from out of the list . Finally on mentioning all the similar thoughts we determined the areas of attention needed . We represented this to our H.O.D , he congratulated us . Later we came to know that the finalised list of us and the ideas were similar with others but we made it a bit quite simpler and easier for them to understand .
Insight :
The insighted our team gained was from that point we were trying to solve
every issue we had from the base of thoughts we had about it . We understood that most of the things had some peculiar pattern and if we could figure those pattern we can find the solution even in an instant . We also understood that we do n't need immediate solution for a problem , its just we have to look about the various reasons for it and from looking at those reasons we can find the appropriate solution for it .
Approach :
Next time i want to give a try for story telling to make others understand
my points from visualization of the reasons i have for a problem and make them to suggest a story with their view of the pattern in that problem . This makes us to share our views in a more comfortable way and understand the differnet views of pattern .

I am a College Student . The challenge in my case was that myself and some
of the other students along with the staff incharge were asked to list out the difficulties for students in studies . First we , the class committee discussed about the difficulties and we felt that we were n't clear in expressing our points . So , our staff incharge asked us to do some creative idea to do this and give some suggestion along the list to make us stand out from others .
Selected Tool :
I suggested to use mind mapping tool to organize our points in some kind
of flow / order and make it clear for the others who look at this . Mind Mapping is a tool in design thinking to find some kind of the pattern or theme in our collected information and get some idea to overcome the difficulties in the collected data . Mind mapping in design thinking is not about just one persons mind but about mapping the data from minds of various persons . This mind mapping is done by a few persons to represent the pattern of their own amd discuss the different pattern to come up with one better idea .
Application :
In our challenge we used this mind mapping on the thoughts of the
toppers , mediocres and slow learners . These thoughts showed diverse variations and made us think of whether we canplot it or not . From our class committee we asked one from each of the 3 category to come out and try to find some pattern with thoughts . At first , they were a bit confussed on how to do but on showing them how to do it , they got the idea and started finding pattern with the thughts . Among all the three we found out some common base like their attention towards lectures were having impacts in their marks . Similarly , we found some other similar thoughts from the list and some from out of the list . Finally on mentioning all the similar thoughts we determined the areas of attention needed . We represented this to our H.O.D , he congratulated us . Later we came to know that the finalised list of us and the ideas were similar with others but we made it a bit quite simpler and easier for them to understand .
Insight :
The insighted our team gained was from that point we were trying to solve
every issue we had from the base of thoughts we had about it . We understood that most of the things had some peculiar pattern and if we could figure those pattern we can find the solution even in an instant . We also understood that we do n't need immediate solution for a problem , its just we have to look about the various reasons for it and from looking at those reasons we can find the appropriate solution for it .
Approach :
Next time i want to give a try for story telling to make others understand
my points from visualization of the reasons i have for a problem and make them to suggest a story with their view of the pattern in that problem . This makes us to share our views in a more comfortable way and understand the differnet views of pattern .

Sarah Gomez Tool β Visualization
Challenge and Selection
Γ The tool is visualization and this one is about a representation of the
information that you are thinking and helps understanding the context of the people and patterns that you maybe have . The challenge is from my class assignment , and it is about me creating an innovative product that can be used in the future around year 2027 . I choose this one because it allows me to show the product in a more graphic way , also itΒ΄s shows how the design could be seen and how it would be sold and his entire business model , all of this represented in a presentation with images and everything .
Application
Γ To start , in a document I made a list with brainstorming and each one
had a description of the use and function of the products . After an analysis , I was able to choose the best one that has all the required points . The one I chose is about a designer mirror , which is a programmed mirror where you have all the clothes you have in your closet ( previously you registered it in our application ) and just by putting what you want it will form sets of clothes that you can wear with that style , and you can see how it would look like on you .
Γ Now that I have the idea of the product , I began to specify it more and
more with its business model and what it is that generates value in it . Already with all that information , in order to give my idea to my teacher I made a presentation which graphically explained all these concepts of the benefits , their way of using it and everything necessary so that my teacher can visualize my idea .
Γ In the end , we also did that presentation on video but as an
advertisement that promotes it so that it can be seen if the idea is attractive to potential clients . My teacher , when reviewing my homework , gave me a good grade and commented that I actually did understand the
task , besides , he said that the presentation did graphically demonstrate the product that I was explaining and that it was very visual for people . Insight and approach
Γ What I have learned with this challenge is that if I didnΒ΄t create an image
of the product my teacher wouldnΒ΄t understood the idea that I wanted to show as the way it is , and also the whole process of brainstorming is a really good idea because it allows you open more your mind and be more able to think outside of the box , this way of express your ideas still being a method of visualization .
Γ Overall , with this course , I learned that the four design thinking tools
helps you to give creative solutions , empathic and open for experimentation . And my favorite part is the four questions of what is , what if , what wowΒ΄s and what works , these ones are for understanding more what the clients need and want .
Γ Next time I would use the storytelling in the part of the advertisement
video because when you tell a history it allows you to connect with the emotions , character and the values of the people who use this kind of products . For this history you need to create a moment of reflection to leave them intrigued and interested so they would want to participate . I believe that this tool is a good idea to use to because you can create energy , passion and emotion with your product .

1 . Challenge I am an I.T Engineer for a company which provides support to companies in the manufacturing sector . I am a part of a team whose challenge is to find ways and means to improve our service delivery by proving management with reports on our activities . These reports would help to make better business decisions and needed buy in from all stakeholders . Being in the I.T. industry we of course know that one of the best ways to get insights is to analyze data which we collect about the service we are delivering . Two ( 2 ) months ago , we implemented an incident and knowledge base management system using the application β Eventum β . Some of our customers however , are used to calling the field technicians directly and not bothering to go through dispatch . This does not affect our revenue since our contract is not on a per job basis and our technicians log their visits . However , we sometimes do nβt know exactly what the end - user is experiencing since we do nβt get the calls from them . Having gone ahead with the implementation of our application , we need our end users to appreciate the importance of using it .
2 . Selection As Cynthia Bibo pointed out in week 2 in the video β The Physics of Innovation β , Storytelling puts human beings and their experiences front and center . It takes the listener along their journey . It allowed for us to reach out to the customer on a personal level ( face to face ) , about a possible issue which could come up and affect them . Since at this stage the goal is to get the end users to appreciate and use the application being implemented , storytelling I believe is the best choice to show them why what we are doing is necessary . It allows them to look at a similar situation which they could find themselves in or benefit from by standing outside the picture and looking in .
3 . Application My story was set in a similar type of business where the users bought into the use of the application and saw the benefits to them and the company . I attempted to show the advantages of using the system and how it was in their best interest individually and for their company on a whole to be able to track the activities involving technicians and manage the knowledge gained by keeping proper logs in a format which can give insight . I began which the accounting , clerical and administrative staff in a 5 - minute meeting after their usual morning briefing . I reminded them of the new system we implemented 2 months earlier , but usage was below 3 percent . I began with the story of Jane and the other administrative workers at M&N Manufacturing , who did not like to use the application which was implemented . They all had to use the office Workhorse CopyCenter printer which was labeled the workhorse by management , however the admin staff found it a hassle , and from time to time it kept
going down . The time had come to get a new printer for the office and management , who was not located in that building was sold on the idea that the Workhorse , was the best model printer to get . They made decision to go ahead with the purchase despite the complaints from the administrative staff who knew the multiple issues there was with the device . All they had to argue with was their memory . There were very few tickets opened regarding the printer , therefore it did not come up to management as a possible trouble device they should stay away from . In the end , the workers who used the printer the most got another β not so great β device to work with , and management spent money on a device which was not in their best interest . At this point they all understood the importance of logging whatever issues they may have so that it is easier to make a case with regards to what may be taking place , whether it is good or bad . We close my short talk with a promise from the end users to start using Eventum to log any I.T. issues they are having . The results so far have shown an increase in the logging of incidents using the tool which has shown the effectiveness of using the Storytelling tool .
4 . Insight By applying the Storytelling tool , we were able to allow the end users to see the importance of logging the issues they had on a day to day basis . It showed that by allowing persons to have a view of the possibilities in which a similar situation related to them , by looking at the situation from an outside perspective works . It being relatable and tends to drive home whatever point which was needed . We were able to show that even if you do nβt see the significance now , at the end of the day , the actions can come back to help or haunt you .
5 . Approach Given a similar situation at another point in time , I would use this Storytelling tool as it had the desired effect . As stated earlier , Cynthia Bibo pointed out in week 2 that Storytelling puts human beings and their experiences front and center . It takes the listener along their journey , which we needed to accomplish . Sebastien Tran , the Global Leadership Development Director at Mars Inc , spoke about creating a pro and con list in the β Storytelling Tool β video in week 2 , and how to solve it .
We have a system in Eventum we believe we can use to track issues and provide reports ( for us the pro ) , but on the other hand the users do not see the importance of using it ( for us the con ) . The use of Storytelling ensured we had their attention in a situation they could possibly relate to . This concept was pointed out again by Sebastien when he stated , β A good story is simply displaying a message that has logic β . This is what we were trying to achieve , and I believe it was accomplished using the Storytelling tool . He also pointed out the need to sell they challenge in design thinking by using the most appropriate story to get the point across which we did . The challenge of the β wicked problem facing the organization β as he termed it which in our case was not using the application we implemented . Bringing up this β con β allowed the audience to understand the current state , as he went on to point out .
As stated earlier , with the increase in the logging of issues , it shows the effectiveness of the use of this Storytelling tool .

Working Theater / Story Telling
Challenge :
On March 12 , 2020 theaters in New York City were given a mandatory shutdown order that continues to this day without any solid return date . Theatergoers , actors , producers and the entire theater community has been affected economically with no reopening date in sight .
RITH is known as the people βs theater across NYC βs five boroughs with a mission to provide high quality theater / performances to those who may not be able to afford tickets to Broadway & Off Broadway productions . Their mission statement below :
Bringing theater to the people . Founded in 1985 , University of Toulouse 1 Capitole 's mission is to produce theatrical productions that are for - and about - working people , the millions of Americans who might not be able to afford , or relate to , commercial theater . We produce award - winning professional theater reflective of the struggles , complexities , dreams and triumphs of wage earners and tradespeople .
With a tiny budget during the best of times and with even less following the on - going Coronavirus shutdown , the challenge will be how to reach new donors with the theater βs message of inclusion & diversity and bring in larger donations to help rebuild and continue bringing theater to working people .
Selection :
I chose Story Telling to look at this challenge from the user βs perspective ( working people ) as University of Toulouse 1 Capitole is all about telling their stories in their own voices . How will their lives , now reeling from a pandemic , record unemployment levels and on - going civil rights protests in their neighborhoods be helped by theater-- if at all ? Working Theater brings their off- Broadway productions to the outer boroughs β as a theater publicist I was fortunate enough to work on their most recent production Border People that abruptly ended its run due to the CoVid shut down .
Secondly , use Story Telling to reach out to potential donors and start a conversation . What common stories do they share with Working Theater βs audiences ? What companies would make sense to sponsor , for example , an outdoor theater tour throughout the Bronx , Harlem , Brooklyn & Queens ? What opportunities would help bring them closer to the impact Working Theater has on communities by healing through art ?
Application :
A ) Set up a series of interviews that zero in on the experiences people are currently going through and , as the story telling module tells us , β create more vivid images of the kind of future we are trying to create . β B ) Conduct three groups of interviews with 1 ) Working Theater Staff / Board , 2 ) Recent audience members from past productions ( including a group of nurses who were on the front lines in emergency rooms ) and 3 ) Key donors ( both private & corporate ) .
Listening to each story in a round table or via Zoom , I βd apply the β What Is β β how are they now- what βs going on in their lives ; β What Ifβ- what are the possibilities they βd like to see --
β What Wows β - what would get them excited about returning to the theater ? And β What Works β β using all the data to see what the common themes are moving forward in other words β taking data from a known past and connecting it intelligently to an unknown future . β
Insight / Approach :
My hope is to use Story Telling to build a bridge between the corporate world and Working Theater βs audience , and that corporate donors become more active & involved in projects like University of Toulouse 1 Capitole . This tool will hopefully break down some barriers and allow audiences and corporations to connect and celebrate the extraordinary stories of β every day β men and women during these extraordinary times . One program that already exists is a playwriting workshop for working people that mounts full productions of 8 - 10 plays following the class . Corporate support might expand the workshop after the Story Telling tool is applied to reach more people and allow more of their stories to be told to a wider audience . Or perhaps another opportunity will arise that works even more effectively .
The next step is to use the β Learning Launch β tool to test out the ideas generated and see what truly resonates ( and what does nβt ) with both target groups .

Reflection - Storytelling
Context : I am a content marketer and often take on freelance consulting projects to learn more about different industries . Recently , as a part of one such project , I was asked to review and potentially rewrite a case study for a tech company that creates business management software for activity- based organizations such as gyms , ballet studios and parks & recreation centers . Challenge : The case study was about how the company βs software had helped improve the day - to - day operations of a local cheerleading gym thereby improving overall efficiencies , customer service and coaching . The purpose of the case study was to help the tech company generate leads from the market segment of gym owners and administrators . When I read the case study for the first time , I was left with a vague sense of accomplishment and many unanswered questions . The way it was written was all over the place as it tried to address too many concerns in a hurried fashion without communicating the impact the tech company βs software solution had on the gym business . Selection : To tackle the rewriting challenge , I chose to use the storytelling tool . As we learned from Raymond Baird of Mars Inc. in week 2 , β Storytelling is the difference between solving a problem and creating a cause . β Stories are based on empathy and therefore are powerful tools to make any problem , challenge or situation seem more relatable . The consumer is therefore more inclined to react to a story than a presentation full of graphs and numbers . Application : Simon Sinek urges us to β start with the why β to inspire action . What this means is to get people to do anything , we must get them to understand our purpose . When I began deconstructing the case I was given , my first step was empathy mapping to answer the question , β who is reading this case and why ? β to put myself in the shoes of the consumer the case was trying to target . To better understand the plight of gym owners and administrators , I asked myself questions such as β What are the top issues faced by cheer gym owners ? β and β What do the right tools look like to tackle these issues ? β among many others . Once I had a clear understanding of the gym owners / administrators β pain points , I was able to create a flow for the story I was writing . This included identifying the key problem we wanted to tackle and explicitly stating it in 1 - 2 lines to establish the purpose of this particular case study . Doing so also helped me to choose which aspects of the software solution I would highlight in this case study . Ultimately , I asked the client to identify the quantitative impact the solution had had on the gym business in the form of time savings and return on investment . Insight : Any story is incomplete if it fails to answer the β so what β question . The stories that we find most frustrating / dissatisfying are the ones that raise questions and fail to resolve them . I chose to address the β so what β with a combination of qualitative and quantitative impact . To communicate qualitative improvements , I leveraged testimonials from the gym owners , coaches and customers to cover the different perspectives of various stakeholders . To communicate quantitative impact , I created a simple , easy - to - understand infographic highlighting the top 3 metrics that gym owners most cared about ( return on investment , reduction in financial reporting errors and time savings ) . The final step to get people to do something is to give them several opportunities to do it . I did this by adding multiple calls - to - action in the case study that would allow the consumer to act on a desire by either requesting a demo or scheduling a meeting or simply learning more about the tech company and its solutions .
Aakash Kumar Aakash Kumar June 23 , 2019
Approach : The transformation of the case study was very evident through the results it generated once it was published . Not only did the case study surpass the company βs monthly lead generation average but also helped the tech company improve visitors β time spent on the website and reduced bounce rates . Considering the success of the case study compared to others , the storytelling approach has now been adopted by the company to create all of its case studies .
Using the design thinking methodology to adopt a more consumer focused approach meant addressing the consumer βs concerns instead of trying to sell a solution . Incidentally , we were able to sell the solution as a happy by - product of this approach !

I am a Product Manager of a real time payments service ( let us call it xPS ) for a centralized Payments Infrastructure organization in India . xPS was used predominantly used by Banks for facilitating interbank funds transfer of retail banking customers .
While the xPS had been growing very well across all other channels , I had major challenge of getting customers to use the xPS service in the mobile banking channels .
Selection
I had discussed extensively with the stake holders at various banks , to figure out , why the transactions were not growing in the mobile banking app channel . Few of the Bank partners were taken into confidence and they shared their transaction volumes , activation rates , usage of various alternative funds transfer mechanisms in their mobile banking app as well . Few of the Banks also shared the success / failure of increase in the transactions when they tweaked their applications .
I had gathered all the necessary data of β What was going on β . But we could not figure out β Why it happens β so .
I decided to go back to the drawing board , to retrace the customer journey of their mobile app usage behaviour .
I chose visualization as a tool because I had a strong hunch that I may get some insights of customer behaviour if I trace the journey visually , from the customer βs perspective .
Application
I decided to draw the customer journey step - by - step across various mobile banking applications that had integrated xPS as a part of their service offerings .
Screen shots of every page of the mobile banking app , right from the home screen were extracted and compiled into a PowerPoint slide . Comments and annotations were made in the respective slides , where I felt , it can improve the understanding of the viewer .
To compare , I also took the screen shots of the customer journey of the Internet Banking login of the banks .
In a week βs time , I had multiple PowerPoint presentations describing the customer journey of all the major Banks for both mobile banking app and Internet Banking login . I presented it to the other stake holders in the team ( Technology , Operations teams , Relationship Managers of the Banks )
We categorized the presentations into multiple buckets β Banks who had a high volume share of xPS transactions vis - Γ - vis other alternatives ; Banks with the least volume share of xPS transactions and so on .
Insight
When we analysed the customer journey visualization across different banks who had higher volume share of xPS transactions , one thing became clear . The Bank mobile banking app menu had xPS as the first option in the menu under Funds Transfer options . We also saw whoever Banks had highlighted the benefits of xPS over other Funds Transfer options ( eg . Real time , 24x7 service etc ) , the volume share improved . The Banks who had the least volume share , had xPS as the last option in the menu . Banks who did not provide necessary help , explanation of xPS also had low volume share .
The Customers of the Bank were choosing whatever was first in the menu under Funds Transfer options and whenever the Bank nudged them to try xPS they did follow the Bank βs advice .
This insight helped us create a β Best Practices document for mobile banking β and had listed down a list of Do s and do nβt s and shared with all the Bank partners to implement as soon as possible .
Banks were able to see the transaction volumes jump immediately , when the Best practices were implemented .
Approach
While the Visualization tool helped us to draw every step of the customer journey , to gather the insights , we have also decided to use the other design thinking tools along with Visualization .
Mind mapping is another innovative way to solve complex problems by involving a group to work towards identifying insights and their interconnectedness . Mind mapping exercise done with teams not connected to the problem also helps to eliminate confirmation bias and bring fresh perspective to the insights .

Challenge and Selection
I am a college student who is pursuing an undergraduate course in Production Engineering . I was recently introduced to a technology called 3D Bioprinting where tissues , and other biostructures can be β printed β layer by layer to form a 3D final structure . Although the ultimate goal of the industry is to be eventually able to β print β a human organ that can be transplanted into a human body , the technology is still very new and we are many years away from such an application . Lately , I have been thinking of starting a project with a small group of like - minded students , in the field of 3D Bioprinting . However , the path is far from clear and we have been contemplating the feasibility of such a project with the time and financial constraints we have as students .
To mitigate the problem of lack of clarity and to set a clear starting point , and to set achievable goals that adhere to a realistic timeline , I decided to draw out the main thoughts we have regarding this , using a mind map . The idea was to use this tool to at least have a better understanding about the β What is ? β of the situation
Application
Please find the mind map I constructed in the next page .
Insight
Creating the mind map , required me to think deep about my motivations , aspirations and about the technical practicality of the whole thing . I feel I was able to eliminate several cognitive biases such as the confirmation bias to a great degree as I feel such biases are more prevalent when thoughts are just passing through the mind like clouds . Writing things down forces the mind to actually think and dissect a thought- its causes , effects and everything in between . I was able to have a better picture about the β What is ? β of the situation and also insights about β What if ? β which I can use for the next phase of planning .
Approach
Although this is a technology and research - based project , design thinking is very relevant as the whole project revolves around the interaction and contributions of people , especially since we are working as a team . Since every member of this team brings a different skill to the table and since the project would be crippled without even one of the team members , I feel a great starting point , even before actually starting the project would be to encourage everyone in the team to build a mind map , paying special attention to their motivations for embarking on this project . Finally , all the individual mind maps can be combined into a single β master mind map β for the project as a whole .

Challenge
I am among of the staff of the planning section of our Department that is working for disaster management . Seventy ( 70 % ) of our localities are located in highly vulnerable areas . The province has a varied terrain ranging from flat , to rugged , to mountainous that reaches over 900 meters from sea level . The island province is highly susceptible to landslide , flooding and typhoon . The localized early warning system of the province is emplaced , proactivity in implementing evacuation protocol is practiced . The challenge is the prompt reporting of evacuees particularly at the geographically isolated and disadvantaged barangays . The data shall serve as reference of the concerned municipal and provincial local government units in the procurement of relief goods should augmentation is necessary .
Selection
In responding to the said challenge , I used the Visualization tool in conceptualizing an innovation to address prompt , easy and available online monitoring platform of evacuees . The tool would greatly help me in foreseeing and forecasting the needed activities , tasks and the logistical requirements in accomplishing the project .
Application
In undergoing the visualization process , I started in drawing a rectangular shape that represents the system database . I put all the five ( 5 ) Ms of resources : material , money , machinery , methodology and manpower that would help me thrive in this endeavor . Integrated in the needed machinery are equipment and infrastructures required in the development of the system and the manpower or the service provider who will develop the system . I also organized our partners in the implementation of this project .
Going into the detail of the system , I listed all the required data that will be fed into the system and the sources of the data . The locations of all identified evacuation centers and the populace within the locality where these evacuation centers are dedicated should be available as the primary data for the system .
The idea should also be presented to the stakeholders particularly to the barangay where registration of evacuees starts . Provision of training to stakeholders particularly those who will be involved in the management of the camps or evacuation centers shall become imperative prior to the launching of this platform . A dry run is also recommended .
Insight
While applying the visualization tool in conceptualizing the idea , I feel that my thinking broadened and the ideas are spontaneously coming in . My creativity had smoothly driven great ideas that are new to me . I saw potential barriers and challenges , however , the visualization tool had likewise helped me in planning and finding resolutions . The experience I had during the exercise is satisfying and inspiring .
Approach
Our team is used in visualizing things as it should be the capacity of the team as planners . But the experience I had was truly amazing . It has widened my capacity in seeing things in advance , putting things in order and swayed my imagination beyond my expectation . I would share this experience to my colleagues and use the tool in our future engagements to consistently improve our performance .

LIMITATION
ο Smart phone became a part and parcel of our life . As
it can be used for many good purposes , it can be used for even bad purposes . Smart phone limitation is key concept of my company . As we all know the effects of over usage of smart phone , I want to skip about it and I want to discuss how we are going to implement this concept of smart phone limitation . We are implementing our idea through a application . Users can register with their mail
APPLICATION
1 . Spreading awareness of over usage Through our company we are explaining cons of smart phones with incidents happend in the past . We send frequent notifications to our users . 2 . Functioning of app We are suggesting them to decrease the usage of smart phone by using our application . This App has a timer and it will be records time when the smart phone is being used . By end of the day it shows a notification of time spent on smart phone the previous day .
By this data we suggest our users on how to decrease the usage .
For example :
ο Suggesting to spend more time with their loving ones ο To play more sports ο Concentrate on fitness ο Go for a ride

LIMITATION
ο Smart phone became a part and parcel of our life . As
it can be used for many good purposes , it can be used for even bad purposes . Smart phone limitation is key concept of my company . As we all know the effects of over usage of smart phone , I want to skip about it and I want to discuss how we are going to implement this concept of smart phone limitation . We are implementing our idea through a application . Users can register with their mail
APPLICATION
1 . Spreading awareness of over usage Through our company we are explaining cons of smart phones with incidents happend in the past . We send frequent notifications to our users . 2 . Functioning of app We are suggesting them to decrease the usage of smart phone by using our application . This App has a timer and it will be records time when the smart phone is being used . By end of the day it shows a notification of time spent on smart phone the previous day .
By this data we suggest our users on how to decrease the usage .
For example :
ο Suggesting to spend more time with their loving ones ο To play more sports ο Concentrate on fitness ο Go for a ride

Challenge
I work in a Real Estate Company where for ten years we have sold four sorts of products , houses for a specific range of client , I mean people whom their family salary is between $ 1,000 to $ 2,000 . The region where we sell these houses is the west region and the prices range is since $ 84,000 to $ 120,000 .
In the last two years , we began to develop our business in another zone quite close to the main city , but the prices are more expensive , the reason is because of we are looking for another target , where the basis family income is $ 4,000 . In this new area we have a lot of competitors and the average market price is $ 200,000 up . The issue is that we have many troubles in this new project , the sells are low , so we want to replicate the success of our first product .
Selection
For this case , I chose Mind Mapping . Because of I wanted to see the big picture , it included the weaknesses and fortresses of our current expensive houses , the competitors , the market βs prices , the real clients and what old clients liked of our old project . As you see , there is a lot of information , so the best way to see all those things was through mind mapping .
Application
The first step was to interview the clients from the old project , they explained what they like from those houses , the sample was twenty persons They also pointed their dislikes . The person in charge was easygoing and very patient if the client was angry about the product . The second step was to interview the current clients who live in the expensive houses they could say the likes and dislikes of their houses , the behavior of the person in charge was similar than the first step .
We also did some researches on the internet to see the prices of the market in that zone , during this research we found main competitors , and after that , we decided to visit the competitors as clients to feel how they manage their sells and what factor make differences from another competitors .
We collected all those variables , we put everything together in our mapping to understand what the pros and cons in our product are to generate an idea and see what we would change .
Insight
What we could find in our mind mapping was in the case of old clients , they liked the big space in living room because they could decorate better , they also liked the closets made
of glass , the security hut because they feel safe and the main park because there are many trees ; the negative point were the narrow backyard . In the new project , the pros were the club house , access to gym and swimming pool , in the specific case of house , they liked the fences between houses , the closets made of wood , the spectacular kitchen and the spacious bedrooms ; what they did nβt like were again the narrow backyard , they felt that the living room is too crowded and the thought that houses seem to be too close from each other .
We could find that we just have one main competitor because of the prices , the prices are too similar and this competitorΒ΄s house has a bigger portion of land than us . We also found that other real estates companies have been problems selling houses because of the economy so they have many promotions like prizes , discount and travels tickets . We also could identify that main ethnic target in this kind of product are Chinese people , so that is very worth . How you see , we have the big picture we could see some features which allow us to understand the problem and what we would make to solve it .
Approach
The next time , I would choice the companies to analyze according to some parameters because there are me many projects in this area , but not all them are focused on the same target , of course , it could be an indirect influence but that doesnΒ΄t rule all the market . Why should I do this ? Because we spent a lot of time investigating these projects and visiting them and that means costs for our analysis .

CHALLENGE
There are a number of processes that we do on a daily basis as portfolio managers of the bank . One of our main functions is to management the bank βs investments , making sure that we maximize profit out of the residual funds . As we may know , investing is nβt always as simple as buying a security and just waiting for it to generate profit . Investing involves a lot of processes and decision making from the generation of strategy down to the monitoring of the portfolios . As managers , we are expected to perform these processes with due care and prudence and assure that what we do day in , day out adheres to the bank βs regulations and policies . The lack of a written and documented process flow was a challenge for the team since we do nβt have any reference that can be used as a guide when we perform such activities . Having a document that lists down all the relevant processes reduces our exposure to various risks as well .
SELECTION
Visualization is a great design tool to use to address our team βs challenge given that in visualizing , you can lay out the processes like a map that leads you from point A to point Z , which is from strategy generation to monitoring in our team βs case .
APPLICATION
To standardize our investing activity processes , we created a process flow that visualizes everything that we do from start to finish . We first listed all the relevant processes and responsible units and arranged them accordingly . By doing so , we were able to get a better picture of how each process was connected to each other , but just by simply listing them was not enough and it still created confusion . For people to better understand the workflow , we used Microsoft Visio to create a flowchart that maps all the procedures using diagrams and connectors to show the movements from one process to another . Given that an investment activity does nβt just involve one unit , we have incorporated all the processes involved from different units as well and made one flowchart that covers everything from end to end . The flowchart was an easier way for us to check on whether we have done all the necessary processes or not , or if we complied with the regulations and policies set by the bank .
INSIGHT & APPROACH
Using the visualization design tool was a great idea for the team . We were not only able to put our processes into writing , but we were also able to visualize the workflow making it a more convenient and effective way in conveying the procedures that need to be done . It was not only helpful to us as the current users of the document , but also to the future readers . We had one new member in the team read the document as reference and the feedback that we got from her was that the flowchart was really helpful in making her understand what we do as portfolio managers . Seeing the relevance of using the visualization approach in our business , our team is leaning towards using this tool again for other pertinent areas .

Challenge
I am a design student and recently , while interning with an organisation , we worked on a redevelopment project on one of our city βs Public Schools . Our aim was to make designs for the new school , which would be first of its kind in terms of schooling and facilities , in order to improve the level of education offered by current schools and likely , increase admission entries and consequently , revenue generated . We were 5 in a team working on the designs but our superiors , were officials who were nβt from the field of design .
The project faced a lot of hurdles and was limited to a set low budget , a hasty 45 days until redesigned , redone and reopened for all , and indisputably faced challenges of bureaucratic inefficiency . Trying to make the officials understand and align with our ideas and achieve a sense of agreement & consensus was also a daunting and rigorous task as they were not used imagining the invisible .
Selection
After much brainstorming on ways to make the officials more conformed to our designs , we finally thought of taking the first plunge into the world of design thinking and ready the tool of visualization . Visualization is about visual thinking , thinking in a non - verbal way . It is a core component of the way that we communicate and moves mountains to make ideas comprehendible , tangible and concrete from the designer to receiver βs brain , thus , is ideal for helping the executives to picture the design ideas with ease .
Application
In order to reach out to our left - brained officials , we used a multitude of visual formats from β draw a picture , tell a story , take a photo , or make a map β as informed by Ms Angela Myers ( from Module 1 ) . As the challenge needs a simple , yet effective way of crisp communication , visualisation uses dynamics beyond language / words .
Thus , instead of showcasing well - detailed technical drawings of the site or merely talking about the spatial plan , business plan and other pitch worthy ideas , we decided to give them a whole tour of the space . My colleague , capitalised on her artistic skills , created a series of detailed but aesthetic site sketches and story board which helped understand the site with regard to this location , cultural and educational context . For myself , I created a number of β Photoshopped β images that helped imagine the before and after scenarios with utmost ease and also created a set of digital renders including a 360 degree VR experience , by putting to use my 3D modelling and rendering skills , to give them the opportunity to immerse completely into the concept and emerge as more informed , convinced and satisfied individuals who hopefully will come to a consensus with our ideology and vision or better yet , give a fair , justified assessment of the suggested solutions .
Insight
By applying the mighty tool of visualisation , our team helped the officials think , imagine and immerse into possibilities they have never seen before , with extrapolation and inductive reasoning . Additionally , visualisation helped bring viable , critical feedback by the superiors which would nβt have been possible otherwise . We got to hone on all the team members β skillsets and apply them in a way to maximise the project βs efficiency and eminence .
We expected the officials to just visually put together bits and pieces of the plan but they got to really dive deep into not a 2D space but a 3D experience which was unprecedented and pleasantly shocking for us and them . This kind of effort , made these stakeholders so happy that they approved the designs after giving constructive criticism and also evolved to obtain a fairly open thought process which let us wiggle with more levy and further , revisit our designs with all the essential insights ready to analyse . I think visualization was the most ideal tool to use in such a situation and it helped all the stakeholders directly and indirectly . This made me succumb to the power of design thinking and truly appreciate how impressive , persuasive and dominant it is and can be .
Approach
Given that our team has already gone through several design thinking activities / tools to help boost the relationship with our superiors , and are at this stage in the timeline , visualization was an ideal and most appropriate tool . As previously mentioned , our team needs to review the insight gained and incorporate this feedback into future spatial designs . These designs should include well- articulated , comprehensive visions which reflect the insights , the development and bring us closer to a persuasive solution ready to be executed .
If asked to redo this design and/or developmental process , I would maybe look at using visualisation along with storytelling while pitching my ideas for a more enhanced experience which could further instil more confidence of our team and our work , amongst the once rigid thinking of officials .

STORYTELLING FOR SPARKING ATTENTION AND NECESSITY
Challenge and Selection
I am a content creator on YouTube and I make videos on living a more intentional life . I had ceated more than 15 videos , which the people enjoyed and appreciated . However , I faced a huge challenge of increasing the average view duration of my videos . People were watching my videos , but they left it in between . It was not so easy for me to find out the reason . I tried to improve content , the shoot , B rolls , animations and many such aspects . I felt that the content was attractive/ interesting enough to hold their attention , it was relevant , useful and yet not intriguing viewers . I constantly watched popular You tubers and realized they had a story to share . The major problem with my videos was that they were solving a problem without identifying a problem/ cause . The content might have seemed random to viewers , because they could nβt connect to it . Story telling as a part of my video , hence helped me identify a gap and my content as a probable answer to fill in the gap . The story helped , as it gave people , something to make an emotional connect with .
Application
One of my most successful attempts at using storytelling in my videos was in a video on the Pomodoro Technique . This technique is a tool to beat procrastination . However , just stating this would not have helped in understanding the same .
So , I used a story to connect with the audience and convey the usefulness of the technique . I narrated how all of us have sometime or the other in our lives procrastinated and put off tasks for later . I also highlighted how this led to a vicious cycle of unproductiveness . These were things that were relatable to most , as they had faced this themselves and immediately understood how this was a problem . As I ended this story , I brought in the need for something to fight procrastination and how the Pomodoro technique was exactly that . This time , for the viewers , it was not just a technique that may help us with
Reflection β Storytelling tool
procrastination , it was a technique that could help them with a big problem they βve faced earlier . A link to my video is : https://youtu.be/bDPejFHJSsT
Insight and Approach
Using storytelling as a tool to spark attention and necessity made me realize how important creating a connection with my audience can be . The emotional connect that I created by making the issue relatable helped hold the audience βs attention span for longer . It had generated interest and excitement in them ; to know a solution for this problem they βd all battled with . This time around I had created a cause and then solved the problem . This gave me more than 1.5 K views on the video and also made a huge leap in my subscriber base .
Through this experience , I recognized that story telling is an effective tool to connect and bond well with the audience . As I use this tool further , I will try to think about the common concerns and simple stories which helps me bond with my listener . Using those commons , to connect and associate with my audience would also improve the usage of storytelling . I now use this tool not only in creating on line content , but also in actual sessions I take while working in a team or on a project .

I felt that the content was attractive/ interesting enough to hold their attention , it was relevant , useful and yet not intriguing viewers . I constantly watched popular You tubers and realized they had a story to share . The major problem with my videos was that they were solving a problem without identifying a problem/ cause . The content might have seemed random to viewers , because they could nβt connect to it . Story telling as a part of my video , hence helped me identify a gap and my content as a probable answer to fill in the gap . The story helped , as it gave people , something to make an emotional connect with .
Application
One of my most successful attempts at using storytelling in my videos was in a video on the Pomodoro Technique . This technique is a tool to beat procrastination . However , just stating this would not have helped in understanding the same .
So , I used a story to connect with the audience and convey the usefulness of the technique . I narrated how all of us have sometime or the other in our lives procrastinated and put off tasks for later . I also highlighted how this led to a vicious cycle of unproductiveness . These were things that were relatable to most , as they had faced this themselves and immediately understood how this was a problem . As I ended this story , I brought in the need for something to fight procrastination and how the Pomodoro technique was exactly that . This time , for the viewers , it was not just a technique that may help us with
Reflection β Storytelling tool
procrastination , it was a technique that could help them with a big problem they βve faced earlier . A link to my video is : https://youtu.be/bDPejFHJSsT
Insight and Approach
Using storytelling as a tool to spark attention and necessity made me realize how important creating a connection with my audience can be . The emotional connect that I created by making the issue relatable helped hold the audience βs attention span for longer . It had generated interest and excitement in them ; to know a solution for this problem they βd all battled with . This time around I had created a cause and then solved the problem . This gave me more than 1.5 K views on the video and also made a huge leap in my subscriber base .
Through this experience , I recognized that story telling is an effective tool to connect and bond well with the audience . As I use this tool further , I will try to think about the common concerns and simple stories which helps me bond with my listener . Using those commons , to connect and associate with my audience would also improve the usage of storytelling . I now use this tool not only in creating on line content , but also in actual sessions I take while working in a team or on a project .

Challenge
A transmission of my organization 's management department and my / purpose purchase Departmental workflow ( activities and projects ) to increase the number of workflow users to organize their subjects . Do not hesitate to ask questions to the site of employees who are covered by the project The project is limited by internal resources ( i.e. budget and running time ) . The project should not exceed 30 to 60 working days and the solution is Above working hours between the team . Employees should ask equal questions to the site and the questions should be written simply as if the questions were written . The site should be kept simple for our stakeholders to understand more easily .
Selection
Our team is currently working on several design thinking models . We are ready to start with a simple ask questions approach . Generally , " Ask A Simple Question " is a prototype .
Application
In our simple asking questions project , we aim for our teammates to ask simple questions like users and get users used to the site . In response to this project , we aim to help users get rid of their timid behavior and adapt faster to the site . In the simple ask questions project , we aim to make users feel low or close to themselves . First of all , our employees worked on this issue for an average of 1 week to adopt the user identity . In these 1 - week studies , they thought like a user , felt like a user , and visited the site like a user . Later , employees exchanged ideas among themselves to consolidate the knowledge they acquired .
Insight
Employees began to experiment with interactions among themselves . Each employee was divided among themselves . They are mapped as working users . This match then took place between other groups . So we maximized the interaction . Employees stated that they have many such ideas . Later , employees added this information to the site in the eyes of the user , causing users to spend more time on the site .
Approach
With the user experience information gained by the team members from here , more different opinions and thoughts started to increase in later employees . Our Ask A Simple Question project enabled us to gain a different perspective on events .

Challenge β Being a solution architect , my role involves providing solutions to achieve the operational excellence by improving the business processes and user experience to our customers using the innovative technologies . Many times , the business process spans across the multiple business units or departments across the organizations . The organization silos provide structure that allows expertise in different area , but creates a barrier for information flow and lack of coordinated decision - making process . My recent challenge was to improve the account receivable process for a mobility transportation organization who operates in 100 + locations providing on demand service . This required breaking the silos barrier , have a shared understanding of complete end - to - end business process and information flow and then identify the process improvements opportunities before providing the possible solution .
Selection β I use the tool of visualization with our customers for scenario visualization . Visualization plays a role throughout the design and development process . Visualization can materialize the concepts and make their characteristics more explicit . It makes them clearer and more understandable . It allows to communicate the ideas and sequence of thoughts . Many times , it helps to identify the hidden entity which was overlooked by silos between the units . I always start the process by specifying objective and creating the drawing of business process flow from stakeholders β input . This allows to create a document to work collaboratively and brainstorm to find the many alternative solutions .
Application β
Step 1 - To start the process , I reviewed the existing business process flow documents and operational training materials . I identified the various business unit and departments and the key stakeholders involved in the process and impacted by the process to conduct the discussion session . I explained them the objective of the exercise is to improve the accounts receivable process . We created groups of location heads responsible for dispatch system and accounts receivable personal and asked to identify the activities involved in AR process . We created a drawing on board with identified entities involved in the AR process and corresponding activity with each entity . During the brainstorming session , the groups identified 5 different activities required to be optimized .
Step 2 β Establishing effective billing and cash application to invoices process was one of the activity identified by group , we decided to focus on it . Using the visualization tool , we started drawing the complete process . The process involved origination of service order , order dispatching , invoice generation , payment collection and applying to invoices . The organization used the Ride Dispatch System at each location for providing the on - demand service and generated the customer invoices . The payments were also collected at location . The invoice and payment collection details are communicated by location heads to central AR department and manually entered in ERP system . The visual representation used simple graphic to draw the picture of how the information flow from one system to another .
Insight - Using the visualization tool , the stakeholders got the understanding of complete business process flow which was not very transparent earlier . The graphic also helped to gain the insight of relationship between different systems across organization and how the information is tightly integrated with each other . It helped to work collaboratively to identify the improvement areas in business process . The team got an insight of how the manual process created from two system created inconsistent report . Using the feedback , the team developed a revised activity plan and decided to automate the invoice and

payment information from dispatch system to ERP system . The process automation also improved the user experience .
Approach β I discovered that using visualization tool helped to break the silos barriers among the diverse stakeholders and provided an insight to identify the improvement area . The stakeholders can see how information flows across the systems and impact the operational activities and user productivity . I will be using the visualization tool as starting tool for identifying the gaps in business process and improvement areas .

CHALLENGE
The challenge presented before me was to design a collection on the theme β Multi- functional garment β . Nowadays no one wants to have plenty of clothes and waste their money buying new clothes every now and then . Hence , multi - functionality is booming as it means no discarding of used clothes and having to wear newer looks . To solve this problem , I needed to know in what elements can this multi - functional aspect be introduced .
SELECTION
I have chosen the tool , Mind Mapping . A mind map is a diagram used to visually organize information . A mind map is hierarchical and shows relationships among pieces of the whole . It is often created around a single concept , drawn as an image in the centre of a blank page , to which associated representations of ideas such as images , words and parts of words are added . Major ideas are connected directly to the central concept , and other ideas branch out from those major ideas . I chose this tool because I felt this would be the most effective way to put the design elements required and the other factors that must be considered while designing .
APPLICATION
I started mind mapping with multi - functionality at the centre of the diagram . I branched out into elements , factors to be considered , design complications , fabrics to choose , trims and accessories , ease of use . This tool made it very easy for me to put down my ideas and illustrate what I thought of . It gave me a very clear insight of where I had to move next and the path was well seen . There was very little deviation from the main idea and the time taken also reduced drastically as I had put down all the possible outcomes .
INSIGHT
Using mind map to solve my problem , I came up with a collection consisting of 5 garments with unique features . Overall , I thoroughly enjoyed working with mind map as it was fun and targeted at the same time . I would use it to solve more and more problems and experiment If it worked out with other type of problems too .
APPROACH
I would like to use the tool storytelling also as I feel it brings out a compelling story that will keep the consumers/ customers involved in the collection . Stories can move mountains . But surely mind mapping will be my strategy to solve any sort of problem in the upcoming days . I also feel I need to improve myself in branching out more options .

There was very little deviation from the main idea and the time taken also reduced drastically as I had put down all the possible outcomes .
INSIGHT
Using mind map to solve my problem , I came up with a collection consisting of 5 garments with unique features . Overall , I thoroughly enjoyed working with mind map as it was fun and targeted at the same time . I would use it to solve more and more problems and experiment If it worked out with other type of problems too .
APPROACH
I would like to use the tool storytelling also as I feel it brings out a compelling story that will keep the consumers/ customers involved in the collection . Stories can move mountains . But surely mind mapping will be my strategy to solve any sort of problem in the upcoming days . I also feel I need to improve myself in branching out more options .

Challenge
As the main software engineer of a small startup with limited time and resources , my biggest challenge is to create and improve the right features of our product , a social app , in order to increase the interaction between the users and the recommendation of the app to friends , in other words , release what users will love and engage with . The product development team is very small , just three developers , as well as one designer , so there is no enough resources to conduct long user researches . We need to be fast and assertive with our releases .
Selection
We are already experimenting some practices to speed up our releases and improve the results ( engagement and sharing ) , the last one was A / B testing , but with some trade - offs , like a long time to prepare multiple tests and to verify multiple results . Β After some time considering many agile methods to our prototyping tests and knowing Design Think , the learning launch tool makes sense to us because it is an experiment meant to quickly test an idea and prototype , focusing in one idea , not two or more .
Application
We have a lot of ideas to improve our metrics in our product backlog . These ideas are ordered in accordance to some assumptions , like users reviews and some observations . Now , before to create multiple features to A / B testing , Β Β we take one idea from our product backlog and create a fast mock to show that feature to a vast number of users to get their reviews . If they show us enthusiasm , we go to the next level and we create a new release of the product with that feature . With A / B testing we spend a couple of days to test two ideas , now we can test many ideas in a couple of days and the result is very assertive , we improve our metrics with less resources .
Insight
The most important thing to us by applying the learning launch tool and focusing in one idea was that we removed the A / B testing 's comparator bias and our mindset was guided to think about that idea in a broader way . Β When everyone in the team is concentrated in one idea , we can have a better synergy and collaboration , we really work as a team and we bring everyone to the problem . The focus is one idea , not a war to between ideas . The result is the improvement of the metrics that really matter , the user Β engagement and sharing .
Approach
We switch from A / B testing to the launch and learning tool because this learning launch tool perfectly meets our needs in relation to the time and results it provides , besides that , we gained a lot of knowledge and insights when we have all members of the team focused in one idea . We have used this tool for some iterations and have n't made any modiο¬cations to the workο¬ow since .

1 ) Challenge
β At my organization I work as an Operations Manager and one of my primary responsibilities is to oversee day - to - day service delivery levels of all business units . We are a service provider operating in a global environment with highly demanding clients who require high quality levels coupled with fast turnaround times . Demand is usually steady ( peak ) through the year , with lean periods coming by only during the holiday season / year - end . Considering this highly competitive working environment , it is paramount that all cogs in the wheel of our organization work seamlessly in order to avoid any sort of customer dissatisfaction . One of the key means I used to employ in order to achieve this , is to continuously exploring opportunities to optimize our operations process .
β In order to support our regular / important clients , one of the service offerings we provided was the flexibility for them to reserve capacity with us upfront , and we guaranteed to hold resources for their request . The volume , effort involved , and timeline were often agreed upon at the reservation stage and our clients were extremely happy with the overall flexibility it provided them . The process was set up a few years back , but during the 2nd half of 2015 we were faced with a couple of peculiar problems - i ) clients were not sending in their requests at the agreed upon time , or ii ) neither did not send in the materials nor communicate it to us , which meant that these resources could not be utilized for other requests in the system . This was significantly impacting our ability to optimally manage resources , thereby adversely affecting service delivery levels . This became an important topic of discussion during the daily Operations Managers meeting , and the need to understand more about the situation and resolving it became a top priority for me .
2 ) Selection
β My team and I got together and spent the first few days to completely and thoroughly understand the problem . We engaged in numerous activities including data analysis , internal staff interviews , identifying patterns with specific customers , and conducting Voice of the Customer ( VOC ) to gauge the sudden change in customer behavior . At the end of the exercise , we concluded with 2 primary root causes for the problem : 1 ) The low supply during peak business hours was not able to manage the incoming demand , hence more and more customers opted to reserve capacity upfront - sometimes days in advance , and they simply forgot that they had a standing reservation 2 ) The software system deployed for the capacity booking system was archaic and did not provide customers with the ability to intimate us regarding changes in volumes or timing .
β These were clearly 2 large and independent problems which had to the addressed on a war footing . The need to ensure continuity of business operations , at the same time drastically improve service levels prompted me to choose the ' Learning Launch ' tool . This was a great opportunity to experiment and test new ideas in the real marketplace .
3 ) Application
β The team decided to attack the 2nd problem first as it directly impacted customer experience and was one of the pain points we had heard during our VoC interviews . We began with the hypothesis of defining an ideal reservation experience for our customers . We dug deeper into the no . of communication they had to make in order to get a reserved request completed and explored opportunities to minimize redundant communication . We also reviewed scenarios that could be automated in order to gain efficiency . Enriching the customer experience and dependability of the solution was high priority for the team .
β With the help of our in - house software developers we integrated a couple of quick and dirty ( but small ) upgrades in the system by introducing i ) Phase 1 : actionable links in the email to either cancel , reschedule , or intimate delay in submissions ii ) Phase 2 : automated email reminders to customers when they were nearing their request submission time iii ) Phase 3 : automated acknowledgement of receipt of materials , etc .
4 ) Insight
β We reviewed the new system for ~4 weeks and continually gathered data and information on customer behavior / experience . We made minor changes and tweaks during this period and could almost immediately see huge improvement in performance of the process . The results of the β Learning Launch β phase spoke for themselves - β No Show β rates declined by ~70 % and the intimation on delays and reschedule requests were almost down to β nil β . This significantly enhanced our ability to predict demand and thus enabled us to optimally marshall resources and manage service levels better .
5 ) Approach
β A key takeaway from this experience was there some of the problems that grew into big customer pain points could have been anticipated and resolved if the β Mind Mapping β tool was applied systematically . Constantly looking for patterns and themes in data during operations meeting would have helped predict the changing customer needs and their challenges sooner . This is something I will be keen to watch out for and ensure to incorporate into my approach going forward

Challenge
I work in the design department at an educational startup which works on providing counselling services for students who plan to study abroad in a good university of their choice . My task is to create a dashboard for internal purposes that is to be used by our counsellors for keeping a track of students enrolled for counselling services and providing those students with the services to get admission at their desired universities . The project timeline is 3 months and the solution includes an even distribution of working hours amongst the design and development teams . We will focus on trying to uncover what our team members and stakeholders consider to be the proper flow of the dashboard along with the utilities and services to be included in it .
Selection
I have used the visualization tool in order to fully understand the flow of the dashboard . A discussion in this phase will allow all the stakeholders to share their inputs with each other during the process of defining the scope , boundaries , key elements and relationships between elements to consider while identifying pain points and opportunities for improvements or solutions .
Application
I start the process by gathering all data required to fully understand the problem . I will draw from existing material available to understand it . The existing material includes historical data of students enrolled for counselling , references of dashboards used in different industries . Also I conduct informal interviews with one - three of the stakeholders who serve as my main points of contact for this project . The stakeholders will be divided in terms of roles such as developers , managers and counselors . Each of them will be shown a visual that depicts the flow and fuctionality of the dashboard according to my knowledge and
understanding . The stakeholders can review and comment upon the shortcomings and improvements needed . I record these findings and create a view that combines the shared and new insights from the group discussion and then create a revised visual that incorporates their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group .
Insight
The main importance of this exercise was to gain valuable feedback from different stakeholders and to reinforce their understanding of the problem we are working upon . They can more quickly gain new insights about relationships between key entities instead of taking time to identify them . Also it helps them to identify what they do nβt know , in what areas they need to obtain information or data to provide the values for the variables involved .
Approach
The current approach involves drawing a visual using pen and a notebook and then discussing with different stakeholders and joting down their insights and understandings of the problem . This is good for reference but not that good for collaboration as some of the stakeholders wanted access to the visual anytime . So a different approach can involve creating a visual digitally and then sharing it across all stakeholders who then can share their insights in the form of comments and drawings . This can help in easier collaboration among all and keep a track of the different insights and problems uncovered by the respective stakeholders . For this a tool like Whimsical(https://whimsical.com/ ) can be used .

Challenge
My role is within a large corporation βs internal business development team and our role is to help improve operational efficiency in regards to our project management . Our projects are typically for an external audience , but involve several external vendors who are contracted to conduct and oversee the projects . The project scope includes the internal business development working group of five colleagues and the business technology department . The project should not exceed 180 business days and is dependent on both internal and external resources , both limited by employee time and project budget . The key stakeholders for the project are internal parties within the internal business development leadership team and related functions .
Though the department frequently works with external vendors , there was no mechanism for evaluating satisfaction after the project was completed . The business development team was unsure if colleagues were satisfied with the current pool of vendors . The goal of the project was to assess internal satisfaction with vendor services and to assess vendors β preparedness , quality , and scope of services for ongoing and upcoming projects .
Selection
The team had decided to deploy a series of internal and external surveys assessing internal satisfaction and external services . The survey tool was selected by default , since only one tool was approved for external use by corporate polices . The learning launch is an experiment meant to test the base assumption that colleagues were satisfied with vendor services .
Application
For the first part of the learning launch , the focus was on the internal colleagues . This phase focused on the execution of the methods and approach determined during the Scrum phase . The first step was to deploy the internal survey to test the hypothesis that colleagues were unhappy with certain vendor services and to gather further feedback to determine next steps . Our hypothesis was proven correct that certain service providers were considered sub - par when compared to other ongoing projects .
For the second part of the learning launch , the focus was on external vendor services . A series of existing structured questionnaires developed for other business departments were customized and applied to this type of projects . These extensive questionnaires included 200 + questions about vendor capabilities , current services , the scale of ongoing projects , and anticipated plans for scope changes and future services . Further clarification was sought using structured interviews . This analysis led to a better understanding of existing services and highlighted current gaps that could potentially lead to a decrease in quality of service .
Insight
The primary insight from the first part of the learning launch was that cost constraints often led to selection of lower quality vendor services . Another takeaway was the need to develop a new workstream / project to develop a new mechanism to assess quality following the conclusion of each project . The new workstream would have the goal of developing a mechanism ( e.g. a survey ) that would allow finished projects to be described and any challenges / complaints documented . The ultimate goal would be to provide future projects a description of the services with reviews to allow for a more informed choice , while still taking into account cost constraints .
The primary insights from the second part of the learning launch was collection of information that was previously lacking from the service providers themselves , primarily the identification of service gaps that could lead to reduced quality . These gaps will be taken into consideration when choosing which vendors became preferred service providers during the following year βs review cycle . Additionally , it opened an opportunity for future workstreams to help better understand these issues and how they impact the business .
The overall takeaway was this exercise prompted further discussions with leadership and other stakeholders about the tradeoffs between quantity of and quality of projects .
Approach
This stage of the project was following several design thinking activities , so the learning launch was the appropriate tool . Insights generated from this process led to the need for further design thinking activities .

The overall takeaway was this exercise prompted further discussions with leadership and other stakeholders about the tradeoffs between quantity of and quality of projects .
Approach
This stage of the project was following several design thinking activities , so the learning launch was the appropriate tool . Insights generated from this process led to the need for further design thinking activities .

Reflection on Mind mapping
I chose to reflect on mind mapping because having learnt that it can help people organize and stablish connections and relations between elements that would have not been identified otherwise . Besides , It can shed light into the way someone βs mind work and function as a shared ground to make sure everything is understood . I used this approach to create a systematic understanding of the new consumer group we are approaching for a future marketing campaign for a global brand . This target is just recently gaining importance for the market and there have been several studies trying to uncover the hidden truth behind their interests and choices , but most of them are based on a global audience and we needed to tailor those findings to the local market .
Application
The first step was reviewing all the literature written on the target audience and compare and contrast it with the data from the local market . Upon completion , it was clear that the findings could be easily organized through a mind map that comprises information from every document available . All sources described the same characteristic aspects of their personality and the different data that each study provided a new part of the whole picture . In order to describe the target βs personality , I discovered the 6 pillars that rule over the decisions of our target . This could nβt have been possible without the aid of the mind map that put ideas clearly into the paper for others to visualize and understand .
Insight
Everything found in research papers and creating correlations with the knowledge we already have surrounding the brands moments of consumption , the human truth that has helped to build their equity , the learnings from our previous campaigns and our cultural understanding of the market . Having such different variables makes it difficult to have a complete view of the problem , it increases its complexity and as a complex problem requires a complex approach such as explained by Edgar Morin βs theory .
Approach
I used both methodologies , ( the complexity theory and mind mapping ) to approach and solve the problem and view it as a complete system with sets of subsystems that influence each other . None of the elements found within the mind map exists by itself , just like none of our thoughts exists independently , but the relations are not obvious until after drawing them into a map .
The first thing to do was to identify the main components , then identifying the secondary elements that have connections with each other . After that , it was clear which elements needed to be next to each
Classified - Confidential
other in the mind map and explain the systematic nature of the way the target chooses to live it βs life , the logic behind the diversity of interests that drive them . Then , looking at the outer edge of the mind map we could identify concrete representations of the target βs passion points . Furthermore , we could follow each of the paths and connections to create endless combinations of passion points to keep the campaign going for as long as we needed it to .

CHALLENGE
We use visualization all the time in our lives , sometimes without even notice it , as a photographer , visualization It is the key for my job , because it literally depends on it . I had an idea as a result of this crisis , it was to do photoshoots for small businesses that were creating everywhere in my city , but the problem was that there were too many businesses ideas that looked similar , I could nβt imagine different ideas for every businessΒ΄s photoshoot and I was not very familiarized to work only with products and not with models and for the first time I was out of my comfort zone , as the time passed the problems were increasing because I had to send the photos already , the clients could nβt express their ideas either .
SELECTION
The most logical solution for those problems was visualization , that tool helped me to include my clients into the ideas that they wanted but also it helped me to connect to their perception of what their products mean to them . In the first place we start to do sketches of what was the message behind it , some of them wanted to express a nice experience , having a good time or simply just to make people support them , that βs when I realized that I needed to use design thinking because of the empathy that people needed during this time .
APPLICATION
I started using this tool by sketching what they wanted to communicate , most important how we were going to express that in those pictures , the second thing that I did was to show them pictures about how colors express emotions , we made some color pallets for the photoshoot and we began to make some draws about the position of the product in the hole scenario , and for the final step we made diagrams about all the things put together so they could agree on the result . This tool was so helpful and very effective for that situation , most of the time it seems so obvious but at the moment that you needed it could not be as visible as we thought .
INSIGHT
The experience that I had applying that tool was so satisfactory even if that just represents a small part of the design thinking , I really felt that I was nβt just doing a photoshoot , instead I felt that I did a connection with those people and also change my perspective about how should I do my photoshoots , it made my mind more open about new ideas by asking the people that were involve in the photoshoot , maybe not in the photos but their essence so that could make those photos unique . Visualization has always been in my work , but now I can see it clearly .
APPROACH
Obviously design thinking is a very unknown world to discover but because of that it gives us a lot of new opportunities and possibilities , there were many tools that I could have applied in my situation but the one that I used worked perfectly , I would add another one for my next projects and that would be storytelling , because I believe that photos not only express messages , it also tells stories from the people behind that product , it would be fascinating to make people understand and connect with that kind of stories , stories about empowerment and not giving up in this situation of crisis , just in that way we could all empathize with each other but also using the most important part for me of the design thinking , that tool just like the others are very helpful not only for the person who is using it , but also for the clients that are finally being seen as humans and not just clients .

Challenge and Selection
Storytelling is a useful tool no matter what part of your life you are in where you have many peers to deal with . Be it in a complete or somewhat organizational structure . The most use I 've found for it yet has been during my university days when getting to know my peers and achieving maximum efficiency as a group . Many instances when a person is not getting along with the group or is having trouble being in sync . Sitting down with those people and listening to their stories and telling mine is a good way to get a deeper understanding of what goes through their head ? It further helps in deciding a strategy that will extract maximum efficiency from all the parties involved .
Application
A previous instance where I have used storytelling as a solution is when a person in my case study analysis group refused to do the work that he was assigned . All the group members were given equal work but this person was not comfortable with the TYPE of work he was given , which involved mostly calculations . He was given practical portion of the work because it was common knowledge between everyone that he was better with calculation involved questions . I could sense a level of discomfort from him when he was told what he was supposed to do . So , thinking that there is something that is going unnoticed , I asked if I could speak with him privately regarding this matter . And with further enquiry he opened up and told me how even though he is good with these questions , he is still uncomfortable working with new people as he is not confident enough and is scared of messing up and later on being judged for it .
Insight and Approach
Before hearing his side of the story , that person was β just a nuisance β to the whole group . But after looking at all of this from his perspective , I realized he simply needs help for something that is giving him trouble at being his best . So , I also told him about how when I was younger , I used to have self - doubt as well . And how I overcame it by simple perseverance and practicing my work in front of other people . What mattered the most was that what really helped him was that now he knew that there was somebody in the group that could relate with his problem .
Later on , I discussed about this problem with the whole group and we were able to assign the work individually in a more comfortable manner . Instead of one person doing the practical work we had two now so that they could help each other .
Given how storytelling has proven to be helpful in so many other instances as well . I consider myself a heavy advocate for it βs usage in Design Thinking .

Challenge
I am a consultant in new ventures and innovation strategy and my task is to assist companies in their innovation process . One of my project has concerned a Real Estate company willing to integrate its offer with innovative services . The company established a partnership with a Tech company to develop a highly sophisticated IoT solution to manage lighting , temperature , ventilation and several domestic appliances . Thus , the tenants could monitor and control their devices through their smartphone or with voice commands . However , the majority of its tenants did nβt want to buy the IoT solution . Therefore , the Real Estate company engaged me and my team to understand what did n't work in the launch and to prototype a new solution .
Selection
Our team went through several design thing activities and tools . We have exploited interview and ethnographic research to understand the tenants β needs and their preferences . We discovered that the IoT solution developed was too sophisticated and hard to use for the main target of the Real Estate company . The customer co - creation process allowed us to identify the integration of a touch screen display as a way to simplify the use of the IoT solution . Finally , we tested our solutions through the learning launch . Jeanne Liedtka and Tim Ogilvie define the learning launch as a tool that enables to create an affordable experiment that lets customers experience the new solution , to test key assumption with market data . In other words , the learning launch is a tool designed for quickly test a prototype . The purpose is to learn and then improve .
Application
Our first learning launch focused on testing user experience and user interface . In particular , we wanted to see if the touch screen display was intuitive and easy to navigate . We have set up a house in which we have integrated the new solution and we let a group of tenants experience it . We observed how they moved around the house interacting with the technology and we questioned them on the problems they encountered using it . Specifically , we were looking for discomfirming data that would prevent some of the potetial customer to buy the IoT solution . Based on the feedback received during the first learning launch , we have optimized the IoT solution . We have further simplified the menu in order to offer a quick access to the various functions and we have included a virtual β navigation β of the house to manage the automations . In addition , we have also given greater prominence to the section that indicates the expenses as the economic saving is the main reason for purchasing IoT solutions . After having made these changes , we performed a second learning launch . During the second learning launch , we noticed that tenants interacted easily with the technology and we perceived their satisfaction . Indeed , we collected a lot of positive feedback as well as requests for the purchase of this IoT solution . When the Real Estate company βs executives saw the results , they decided they did nβt need further pilots for learning launch and they elected to scale the new solution immediately .
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool , our team was able to design launches to test its assumptions . Our assumption , generated by asking the what - if question , was that the tenants would have been more likely to
buy the IoT solution if it had been integrated with a touch screen display . The learning launch is a tool exploited to reply at the what - works question and to define the boundary conditions . In other words , we investigated under which conditions our idea would have been a good idea . The test proved that our assumption was true and that the display would have actually simplified the use of the technology . So , we tested and refined the prototype until we reached a solution that satisfies the potential customers . This process allow us to minimize the cost of conducting experiments by working in a fast feedback environment . Collecting the opinions of the potential customers allows us to identify the solution βs weaknesses and to improve it . In fact , the mantra of the learning launch approach is β fail early to succeed sooner β .
Approach
Given that our team already gone through several design thinking activities and tools , the learning launch seemed to us an appropriate tool to pursue the innovation process of the Real Estate company . After two learning launch , the client was satisfied by the results and proceeded to the official launch . We will use the learning launch also with other clients as it has proved to be an effective tool for understanding customers β needs and their preferences . In fact , customers ' opinions are traditionally listened after the launch , which makes more difficult and expensive to make changes to the product . Instead , the learning launch allows activating an iterative process in which the solution is tested and optimized based on customer feedbacks before the launch , enabling companies to save time and money .

β’ In the first learning launch , we focused on the structure / execution of our monthly billing process . In particular , we wanted to see if we could structure our tasks , workflow , and processes to adapt the methods of Scrum project management for our work ( e.g. , time boxed , daily , specific meetings , reviews , etc . ) in an effort to become more agile . This tested our assumption that the structure and execution were the main causes of our workflow challenge . Our team went through a two - day training with an Agile coach . Next , we went through three workshops to structure our tasks and processes in a more agile way . These two tracks occurred within in a three - week timeframe . We expected to produce an operating procedure report with a clear description of our new , more agile workflow to conduct our billing process .
β’ For second learning launch , we focused on gaining clarity about our customer pains and needs . This tested our assumption that our prioritization of product features was the main cause of our less - deal customer experience and slow revenue growth . Our team completed an anonymous survey . Additionally , five key stakeholders from customer βs marketing and business / sales department also completed an anonymous survey . The surveys included questions about our new , proposed product roadmap , understanding the features and the prioritization of feature roll - out , and feelings about the features , and were conducted within a two - week timeframe .
Insight By applying the learning launch tool , our team identified our assumptions and designed launches to verify these assumptions . In addition , we spend time drafting expected results , hoping to find that a more agile approach would improve our billing process , customer experience and revenue growth .

### Input: Learning Launch Challenge I work in the wholesale business division within our company , our challenge is to improve two aspects in our day - to- day business .
a. Ability to run our monthly customer billing with less effort and reduce time so we can speed up the invoice
process
b. To spend product capital expenditure on the right features to improve revenue and customer experience .
The scope includes the entire business division composed of 6 members , as well as wider Digital Office and Finance department , whom we work closely . The project is limited to internal team resources and should be completed within 1 month . We will focus on trying to uncover the inefficiency of our billing process as well as understanding customer needs .

Challenge and selection
As a comuunicator for development , I took an university subject about participatory methodologies , which we could use within different communities to help them improve some aspects in ther daily live or maybe to help them with any especific goal they wanted to achieve . My group and I decided to work with a group of children who live in a low resources community of Lima , called β El Brillante β ( β The shiny one β ) . This community had a small but well appointed library for children ( books and different kind of games ) , however they was nβt taking advantage of it , since children were using it basically as a meeting point with their friends in order to play inside ( though they used to play anything but with the games the library offered ) . Though playing is a good thing , we wanted to know why children were nβt interested in all the different stuff and benefits the library had for them .
Visualization is a tool that allow us to make the ideas more understandable in front of an audience , it facilitates alignment between the people through making the ideas more β tangible β . This tool was very helpful in this case specially because children use to get easily distracted and it βs necessary to have consolidated information in a graphic way so they can also easily resume the ideas we are talking about .
Application
We used visualization tool in different ocasions . As kids , they need the information to be clear , fun and easy to understand so they can feel they can participate and give their opinion about it . One of the tasks we asked them was to represent their ideal library with different materials like papers , pencils , crayons and magazines pictures . Although this task was mainly executed by them , it helped us to identify some lacks in the library like the need to be a more playful and colorful space .
Then , another day , we asked them to tell us the things they liked to do the best and disliked to do the most in the library . We wrote all the ideas down on different color papers and also drew the principal thing related to each theme , then we stick them to the wall and asked them to arrange the ideas by similarities , always with our help . There , we found out that just some of them liked some board games , puppets and very short tales with many pictures , as well as drawing and painting ( though they were nβt doing it regularly ) , while other kids just liked to run and play other kind of group games with their friends .
Another day , we asked them to think about how to improve the library itself . And then , on a flipchart , we stick the things they disliked to do the most ( previous task ) in a left column while in the right one we stick the ideas they gave us about improving the library . The objective of this exercise was to clear up whether the ways to enhance the library were related to the things they did nβt liked to do in it . So we gave the children some color threads and they had to join the ideas of the two columns if they consider one of them could help to explain another one . This way we discover , for instance , that some children did nβt like to read books or they could nβt finish them because they feel they need someone to guide them , but now there was
nobody to do it . Another idea to improve the library was to get more papers for them to draw , since they liked to do it but there was not enough material for it . Things like these made the problem more understandable for us . There were , for instance , logistics needs related to the children motivation for using the library as such .
Insight and appproach
We discover that sometimes children need guidance and monitoring in order to something get to be liked by them or just to be done by them . It βs useless to have a library for children if they do nβt feel a connection with it , so it βs important to identify the factors that could help them to feel more attached with it . Visualization tool not only helped them to see and link the ideas we showed , but also helped us as a researchers . The insights we found out did nβt affect our thinking about the challenge , but allow us to have a wider vision about the situation . Finally , I think the approach was useful too because it βs essential to involve the people who might be affected by the result later , so they can feel they are part of the solution and that they are more empowered to do different things .

Challenge and Selection
Storytelling is a tool I have used long before coming across the design thinking course . I 've worked with students and MBA aspirants to guide them on how to craft stories for their MBA applications and interviews . I have also worked on projects for various companies to suggest how to craft stories for their brands . This has given me a holistic view of storytelling and the impact it can create on a brand and an individual . Today I will discuss one of the projects that I worked on , which required me to craft a solution for a surface cleaner which was n't selling well in southern part of India
Application
Many people believe that a story should be emotionally compelling . While bringing emotions in a story is very important , however , people forget that without any substance , no story , however good can sustain for long . ITC Limited , a top FMCG firm in India presented a challenge in which I had to suggest ways to increase market share for its Nimyle surface disinfectant . Nimyle is a one of its kind natural surface cleaner made from the extracts of Neem tree ( Azadirachta indica ) leaves . Nimyle had been selling well in eastern part of India , and ITC launched it in south India hoping it would see similar success there . However , that did nβt happen . After analysing their current messaging and video advertisements , I realized ITC was focusing completely on the emotional angle of using Nimyle . Its packaging also was not very visually appealing . After taking in - depth interviews of few people and floating a survey , I realized that Nimyle could do very well by taking a rational approach to the story being communicated , which would complement the emotional side well . The survey also reflected how poor the image of packaging was in eyes of customer , which again lowered the brand salience of Nimyle in market .
Insight and Approach
The idea was judged by a panel of experts from ITC . I was awarded for the recommendations that I had put in . The changes suggested to the company is being evaluated by the brands team and will likely reflect in their future offerings .
Thanks to the design thinking course , I can focus on a structured approach for crafting the story and reflect on the ideas generated . It has definitely helped someone like me who is a marketer to be more creative than ever .

I am in a role which needs me to drive the business technology partnership not only strategically but tactically as well , where I shall be able to bring the value proposition to the business apart from the problem resolution to ensure their client delivery is seamless and continually getting better to help them make a clear choice for their clients . The key challenge was to implement a customer centric approach and pre - emptively anticipate the customer needs along with the challenges which could help them not only in delivering their work seamlessly and in an efficient way however enabling them to be a clear choice for their clients with the adequate technology enablement .
2 . Selection :
Learning Launch tool is the one which I found very close to what I needed to step in to the customer shoes , thereby collecting β what is β data by asking the right questions to the right people before putting together β what if β data thereby creating a pattern to it .
3 . Application :
I initiated the sampling exercise for a group of customers which needed me to engage with them thereby asking questions on their specific needs , IT challenges , essentially what could be done to enhance the user experience and came out with key requirements and challenges which were vital for them to ensure seamless client delivery . Secondly I presented the business folks with some of the ideas which were key IT initiatives both short term & long term which we were planning to implement to suffice their key needs and mitigate some of the challenges which they spoke of . Here I used bit of mind mapping to help create a pattern between the IT initiatives and key business ( customer ) needs/ challenges , we may also call it as hypothesis as mentioned by Jose in his video . This exercise helped me define the key business focus areas , right prioritization , define some realistic timelines and insight in to possible outcome with minimal assumptions . Overall it needed a lot of collaboration with the end consumer ( customer ) to understand and identify the key things vital for the client delivery .
4 . Insight :
I gained insight in to the possible outcome based on the interactions / interviews which I did with my sample group , created a pattern of the key customer needs and challenges , mapped them with the key IT initiatives ( Ideas ) to move forward in a direction which was based on the
data analysis rather than some fair assumptions which may or may not fit the customer criteria .
5 . Approach :
I would like to practice Story telling apart from the learning Launch or mind mapping next time . I believe story telling can be leveraged as an effective tool to showcase your ideas ( IT initiatives in my case ) and effectively map them with the customer / business needs and challenges which shall be able to address the problem statement effectively .

Challenge The first tool I used was the tool of Visualization , to achieve a shared understanding of a problem space among a diverse group of stakeholders before attempting to identify and define possible solutions to the problem . I use this approach often with our customers , who are government agencies working to apply technology innovations to modernize their mission or the delivery of their services to their customer , businesses , and non - citizens . I have used the technique of using a straw man visualization of a problem domain with a set of questions or prompts for discussion to allow a diverse group of stakeholders to learn from each other in the process of defining the scope , boundaries , key elements , and relationships between elements to consider when identifying pain points and opportunities for improvements or solutions . Application I start the process by creating a straw man graphic of the problem domain . To develop the straw man graphic , I will draw from any existing material available to understand the environment . The existing material may be operational or procedural documents , training materials , marketing materials . If materials are not available , then I conduct informal interviews with one - three of the stakeholders who serve as my main points of contact on the initiative . For the activity , I will divide the stakeholders into groups of 5 - 6 participants each representing a different organization or area of interest . Each group receives a poster - size copy of the straw man graphic that they can write on directly , or use sticky notes to make comments . I give them two - three questions to answer , I give them approximately 15 minutes to discuss the questions and mark up the graphic . Then I have each group report out on their answers to those three questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their poster . As each group reports out , I record commonalities in the insights of each group , and then additional insights that come from the group discussion on an additional copy of the graphic . After the session , I digitize each group βs poster as an artifact , create a view that combines the shared and new insights from the group discussion , and then create a revised graphic that incorporates their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group .
Insight & Approach I have learned from conducting this activity with several groups is that while the graphic β especially the revised graphic that incorporates their feedback β 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 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 β or if they are missing β 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 β that is , it helps them to identify what they do nβt 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 .

I use this approach often with our customers , who are government agencies working to apply technology innovations to modernize their mission or the delivery of their services to their customer , businesses , and non - citizens . I have used the technique of using a straw man visualization of a problem domain with a set of questions or prompts for discussion to allow a diverse group of stakeholders to learn from each other in the process of defining the scope , boundaries , key elements , and relationships between elements to consider when identifying pain points and opportunities for improvements or solutions . Application I start the process by creating a straw man graphic of the problem domain . To develop the straw man graphic , I will draw from any existing material available to understand the environment . The existing material may be operational or procedural documents , training materials , marketing materials . If materials are not available , then I conduct informal interviews with one - three of the stakeholders who serve as my main points of contact on the initiative . For the activity , I will divide the stakeholders into groups of 5 - 6 participants each representing a different organization or area of interest . Each group receives a poster - size copy of the straw man graphic that they can write on directly , or use sticky notes to make comments . I give them two - three questions to answer , I give them approximately 15 minutes to discuss the questions and mark up the graphic . Then I have each group report out on their answers to those three questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their poster . As each group reports out , I record commonalities in the insights of each group , and then additional insights that come from the group discussion on an additional copy of the graphic . After the session , I digitize each group βs poster as an artifact , create a view that combines the shared and new insights from the group discussion , and then create a revised graphic that incorporates their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group .
Insight & Approach I have learned from conducting this activity with several groups is that while the graphic β especially the revised graphic that incorporates their feedback β 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 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 β or if they are missing β 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 β that is , it helps them to identify what they do nβt 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 .

Challenge and Selection : A Learning Launch is a carefully designed experiment or prototype designed to test the key underlying value - generating assumptions of a potential new growth initiative . Vegetarian restaurants in Udupi face problems in providing consistent standardised food to customers and suffer greatly when their head chef leaves or quits the job . Since the restaurants do n't maintain a recipe book , which is essential for preparing consistent standardised meals , in the case of the head chef quitting the job , the management has to find a chef who 's as efficient and expertised as the previous one , which does n't really happen quite often . And so , in order to prevent the head chef from leaving , the management has to pay him / her a high fee . Application : For our first Learning Launch , we experimented on two vegetarian restaurants . Let 's take these restaurants as restaurant A and restaurant B for now . Each restaurant faced a challenge that was different from eachother but had a similar solution to resolve them . Restaurant A had a problem of providing consistent standardised food to customers , and eventually began losing customers . They did n't maintain a recipe book and each day their food tasted different . So we went there and spoke to the management , we adviced him that the kitchen of the restaurant is in urgent need of a recipe book which has to be prepared by the head chef . And also briefed about the benefits they would inherit from it . In restaurant B , they had a problem of the head chef quitting his job , this created a havoc in the restaurant . The management had major difficulty in finding a chef who was as efficient and expertised as the previous , and also who cooked the same style meals . They were hiring a lot of chefs on the line , but none of them cooked meals in the same style and were n't as efficient , eventually the restaurant found a chef who was eligible for the post , but the management was still in a state of concern , they were worried that the restaurant might gave a down turn if this chef also decided to quit his job . So we went there and spoke to the management , and adviced them that they should prepare a recipe book for their menu which has to be made by the present head chef . And we also briefed them about the benefits they would render from it . The one major benefit from having a recipe book was that they need not worry about cooking style of the chef , since all instructions on how to prepare the meals are clearly specified . Insight and Approach : The solution of the need to prepare a recipe book in a restaurant proved to be successful in both the restaurants , A and B. My team and I will try to reach out to other restaurants situated in the district of Udupi and share our guidance and knowledge with them . We will also try to counter some other major issues that restaurants face on a daily basis or at a particular period
of time . We have also come to a realisation that one idea can be a solution to several challenges and problems .

Challenge :
During the course of post graduation , last year , when myself and my fellow classmate were interning in an esteemed hospital , our reporting manager or perhaps our internship guide presented to us the challenge in bringing a behavioural change in nurses β way of communication among themselves as well as with the patients and the caretakers from the respective family to which the patients belonged . We were asked if we could bring about a change in the nurses β understanding of the importance of their communication in terms of many aspects say their appraisal , their satisfaction , customers β satisfaction ( patients and caretakers ) , hospital βs reputation , and above all leaving a touching and kind impact on the mind & hearts of the people who visited the hospital . We were asked to conduct a training programme .
Selection :
In my discussion with my fellow intern about the challenge presented in front of us , we first asked each other β If either of us were on the learning side , what mode would we have preferred ? β So , both of us wanted to get in touch with our audience before coming up with a solution ( training ) . It was then we tried classifying our target audience and in an attempt to understand their persona better , we decided to interview around 20 nurses individually . We just had a normal conversation with them in which we found out that our target audience was a local group and would learn better if training material had a local connect and that most of their functional and behavioural trainings were just routine power point presentations with limited visual contents . In an attempt to empathize with their personas , we understood that use of β visualisation tool β could not only bring the required change but also be satisfying enough .
Application :
Myself and my friend designed our training module with video clips and decided to conduct games in the training hall for a participative approach . While the video clips on communication skills were mostly in local language of the target audience , the games we used conveyed the importance non - verbal communication and sign languages . We used polite , decent and relevant comedy clips of famous local comedians from the local movies with which nurses were able to connect pretty much on a greater scale . During games , when nurses who took part were completely themselves , the other part of the trainees who were the audience were able to visually see what skills they actually needed to work on and related it to the learning from videos . So , this visualisation tool acted as a self - realization tool rather than the hospital telling them what skills they lacked .
Insights & Approach :
Post session , besides the usual feedback forms myself and my friend decided to get back for a small conversation with the 20 nurses for a more open feedback in their language . We got to
know that they found the session very engaging and infact wanted a whole day session in future for other areas of their behavioural trainings as well . They said this mode of training did not only deliver learning but also was a stress buster as it made them feel light hearted . So they basically considered type of training as a fun - filled & productive break from work . They expressed their need for recognition like a simple β wall of fame β and then we realised we needed to include head nurses and doctors in the training programme along with nurses and address the importance of recognition and its impact on nurses β performance and happiness at work . So , this design tool helped us develop another module which in turn achieved all the needs of the hospital staves and the customers .

INTRODUCTION
Design thinking is a problem solving framework that is ideal for tackling ill defined or unknown problems . This makes it very effective for addressing the multifaceted problems faced by today βs increasingly complex organizations . For businesses design thinking is all about upgrading within constraints means the companies must innovate without disruption to drive growth and stay relevant . The successful ones are they which are always seeking new ways to compete in their sector β and design thinking is one framework that can help them achieve this .
DEFINATION OF DESIGN THINKING
Design thinking is a human centric , interactive , solution -based , problem -solving framework .

CHALLENGES BEST SUITS DESIGN THINKING
If we apply the analogy of design thinking as a journey having travel partner is important to safely and successfully arriving at your destination . The process of design thinking sometimes leads you to unknown sometimes uncomfortable destinations . Members of the design thinking team need to be open minded , curious , collaborative , and allow their assumptions to be challenged , ready for change and be adaptable .
What is ?
What If ?
What Wow ?
What works ?
Its not an one sided size that fits every process , its work on particular kinds of problems .
In my work place at on a daily basis I being a manager / team leader always advise my team members for design thinking process . It always helps in our sales department for customer attraction . The sales team gets new thoughts and ideas for the customer calling and customer service . The feedback of the customer is always needed in retail industries and we hence try to give the customer very good service so that their feedback will be positive . The customer satisfaction is the core of the retail industry . The soul of the sales team should be focused toward the customer satisfaction and achieve target . We achieve good percentage of target through this design thinking process in our daily life .
VISUALISATION TOOLS
Innovative ideas for new work process is always appreciated by any work place . I train my team for innovative ideas and new customer attracting process . We use visualization tools for the design thinking .
Photography is a very useful tool for visualization .
Leaflet are the used to distribute to all community as this is a good way of customer attraction .
Hoarding we use hoarding for attraction of customer and it βs the best for retails . The hoardings must be large and very attractive so that someone will be attracted by seeing the pictures on the board . These tools we apply in our daily life in our retail sector for attracting customers in design thinking .
SUMMARY
Design thinking draws on logic , imagination , intuition , and systemic reasoning to explore the possibilities of what could be , and what to create desired outcomes that the end user or the customer . The design mindset is not problem focused , its solution faced and action oriented . It involves both analysis and imagination .

Challenge & Selection
The first tool I used was the tool of Visualization , or Visual Thinking , to achieve a shared understanding of a problem space among a diverse group of stakeholders before attempting to identify and define possible solutions to the problem . I use this approach often with our customers , who are government agencies working to apply technology innovations to modernize their mission or the delivery of their services to their customer , which may be Indian citizens , businesses , and non - citizens . I have used the technique of using a straw man visualization of a problem domain with a set of questions or prompts for discussion to allow a diverse group of stakeholders to learn from each other in the process of defining the scope , boundaries , key elements , and relationships between elements to consider when identifying pain points and opportunities for improvements or solutions .
Application
I start the process by creating a straw man graphic of the problem domain . To develop the straw man graphic , I will draw from any existing material available to understand the environment . The existing material may be operational or procedural documents , training materials , marketing materials , GAO or other auditing reports . If materials are not available , then I conduct informal interviews with one - three of the stakeholders who serve as my main points of contact on the initiative .
If appropriate to the situation , I will borrow the concept to β front - stage / back - stage β from previous research , and discussed in David Gray βs book , β The Connected Company β . The front - stage / back - stage approach helps to reinforce the notion that every service β even an internal service β has customers with whom the service provider interacts and internal processes that enable the organization to provide the service . The template I often start with also has a column on the left to identify Partners and Value Chain Providers and a column on the right to identify Oversight Organizations , such as Congress , GAO , labor unions , advocacy groups , and other entities that may add constraints to how the organization operates . The straw man graphic is simple , using simple shapes and icons available in Visio or on the Internet . If the front - stage / back - stage view does nβt work , then I
Commented [ sc1 ] :
will create a different type of visual , either based on a high - level process flow with swim lanes for different stakeholders , or another format .
For the activity , I will divide the stakeholders into groups of 5 - 6 participants each representing a different organization or area of interest . Each group receives a poster - size copy of the straw man graphic that they can write on directly , or use sticky notes to make comments .
I give them two - three questions to answer , such as : 1 ) What key elements are missing from the graphic ? 2 ) What would you change about the graphic to make it more accurately reflect your problem space ? 3 ) What key insights do you have about the relationships between the entities in your problem space ? I give them approximately 20 minutes to discuss the questions and mark up the graphic . Then I have each group report out on their answers to those three questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their poster .
As each group reports out , I record commonalities in the insights of each group , and then additional insights that come from the group discussion on an additional copy of the graphic . After the session , I digitize each group βs poster as an artifact , create a view that combines the shared and new insights from the group discussion , and then create a revised graphic that incorporates their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group .
Insight & Approach
What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that while the graphic β especially the revised graphic that incorporates their feedback β 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 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 β or if they are missing β 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 β that is , it helps them to identify what they do nβt 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 for reminder .

For the activity , I will divide the stakeholders into groups of 5 - 6 participants each representing a different organization or area of interest . Each group receives a poster - size copy of the straw man graphic that they can write on directly , or use sticky notes to make comments .
I give them two - three questions to answer , such as : 1 ) What key elements are missing from the graphic ? 2 ) What would you change about the graphic to make it more accurately reflect your problem space ? 3 ) What key insights do you have about the relationships between the entities in your problem space ? I give them approximately 20 minutes to discuss the questions and mark up the graphic . Then I have each group report out on their answers to those three questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their poster .
As each group reports out , I record commonalities in the insights of each group , and then additional insights that come from the group discussion on an additional copy of the graphic . After the session , I digitize each group βs poster as an artifact , create a view that combines the shared and new insights from the group discussion , and then create a revised graphic that incorporates their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group .
Insight & Approach
What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that while the graphic β especially the revised graphic that incorporates their feedback β 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 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 β or if they are missing β 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 β that is , it helps them to identify what they do nβt 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 for reminder .

Visualization
Challenge and Selection
The tool that I will be using in this challenge is Visualization Tool or in other
terms , Visual Thinking . It is a tool that will help people especially designers to communicate to other people or to their client not just in words but also in pictures , colors , drawing and presentation . This tool really helps me a lot since I can express the design that I want people to see not just by explaining it to them but through my drawings . In this challenge I am going to use the stick man technique or in other words , I βm going to draw basic shapes and lines just to visualize my idea through drawing and will be follow up with questions and answers that will probably asked to me together with the drawing .
Application
As an Industrial Designer I am going to start the process by thinking of an idea
that will suit my client βs request . Most the time , making a visual board or mood board really helps me a lot in gaining ideas and knowledge with my client βs request . I started with browsing some pictures online that will suit the idea in my mind . Then I will gather it all and put in together or I will form a picture collage just for my preference and then show it to my client . After putting my ideas all together I will get any materials available near me where I can write and draw my ideas and designs . For me , a pen and paper would be enough for me to write down and draw my ideas for my client to see and choose from it . When we both agree from the design that my client chose this is the time that I will gather all the materials needed to create my design into an actual product .
Insight and Approach
I have learned a lot in conducting this exercise . I learned that using this tool will
really help me a lot as a designer in explaining my idea with other people through the use of drawing and presentation . This tool is one of the important things that we designers should always do before making an actual product . As this will help us a lot to communicate and understand our client βs request . This is also a way of explaining ourselves and showing to our client our creativity and how we think .
From the time I discovered this visualization tool , I always use this tool as a
starting point for my series of designing products . As this will provide a lot of information and understanding for my clients .

1 . Challenge : Describe your challenge , including all relevant information .
As Nelson Mandela once stated , " Instruction is the most impressive weapon which you can use to change the world . "
Challenge was to provide access to quality higher education to masses around the world . There is a huge gap between the skill set acquired by someone in an IVY League in US vs skills acquired in a run of the mill college in a developing world .
How do we get this access in meaningful way and get students and teachers on a platform which value both their time was the question .
Idea was to develop a two - sided stage interfacing clients to online substance created by premium colleges and companies . Available platforms right now has different item contributions , with a wide exhibit of evaluating . We had to figure out how to manufacture a huge and different portfolio ( for example Expressions and Literature , Computer Science , Business ) to oblige a huge crowd .
All this while , expanding admittance to training , bringing down expenses , and expanding adaptability .
2 . Selection : In your own words , briefly describe the tool you selected ( e.g. , what it is and why
you selected it for your challenge -- including any appropriate video lecture references ) .
Storytelling is a prodigious instrument that I have started using . I spend a lot of time β opening people up β and finding ways to inspire them to improve their circumstances . When I work with students , we share stories about their aspirations . What they want to be , where do they wish to settle , whom do they idolise and what is stopping them from achieving it . 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 skills in the areas they find lacking in their lives
3 . Application : Describe how you applied the tool you selected to your challenge ( e.g. , what you
did and how the tool was applied effectively or ineffectively ) .
Students talked about how they wish to learn and some spoke about using certifications to get jobs . There video lectures on platforms like Youtube , there were some training material here and there , however , what it lacked was curated course content , validation process and certification .
The discussion zeroed in on creating an online platform where the best professors and companies can put up their curated course establish an evaluation process and bring in lot of students . By keeping a few parts of the stage free and offering a wide assortment of courses , the platform could see how to keep and keep developing its client base .
To fortify the equivalent side organization impacts , the platform could make a social network among clients through different activities , for example , online gatherings ( Q&A , plan online examination meetings , and so on . ) and peer evaluating This made a very much associated network among clients which thus expanded commitment and permitted clients to communicate unreservedly with one another and improve their experience .
The platform should also have cross - side organization impacts . On head of the enormous client base , organizations with ivy league colleges pulls in more establishments to join forces with the platform . The transition to band together with organizations likewise developed the flexibly side .
4 . Insight : Describe the insight you gained from applying the tool you selected to your challenge
( e.g. , how an insight affected your thinking about the challenge and about design thinking more broadly ) .
The key words from all stories were aspiration , association and accreditation . Accordingly , the platform should begin by offering free online courses through organizations with different colleges , helping it develop its client base .
Platform should embrace a " freemium " model whereby clients were still permitted to get to course material for nothing yet would need to pay a charge to get their tasks evaluated and to get an authentication . This was named as " Signature Track " .
Likewise identified with B2C , the organization expanded its contributions to incorporate " Specializations " . Likewise , the organization reformed admittance to degrees by dispatching single guy and degree programs that could be earned completely on the web .
To get to new clients and more steady and predictable income streams , the organization extended to a B2B model and dispatched " Platform for Business " . Under this model , the organization banded together with organizations to offer seminars on its foundation or potentially to furnish them with an online stage to prepare their workers .
The organization keeps on enhancing on its contributions and to extend its associations to continue developing its income . For instance , it is banding together with governments over the world ( for example Singapore , Egypt ) to help them in upskilling and reskilling their residents .
5 . Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you
selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why .
There is a lot to be achieved in this area . A lot of players are rushing in . Getting in quickly and building the base is of high importance .
We could utilize the intensity of information by having AI to improve the stage . Indeed , the organization will have abundance of information available to its , for example , click rates , time it took to finish an activity , when do students drop - off , information from gathering questions , and so forth .
A case of an utilization case that the organization has actualized is centered around expanding client commitment through customized focused on emails . Another utilization case zeroed in on refreshing tasks dependent on the recorded presentation of students . A third model spun around suggesting the " following best course " in view of past course selections .
The organization is resolved to keep bridling the intensity of information to help it across different use cases from expanding maintenance to creating content . Properly utilizing information can enable the organization to improve different touchpoints over the student venture .
In synopsis , Platform can change the learning experience through its online stage . It reformed instruction for people hoping to improve their insight or develop specific ranges of abilities . It changed instruction for organizations and governments looking to upskill as well as reskill their representatives and constituents , individually . What 's more , it began upsetting admittance to degrees by offering a completely online unhitched male 's and ace 's projects .
However , note that the online training market is involved different players and it will most likely not be a champ bring home all the glory market . Despite the fact that online training stages do have solid organization impacts and the gracefully side scale drives up an obstruction to section , there is as yet a high multi - homing viewpoint given that it 's modest to switch back and forth between stages ( for example clients pay per course ) and given that players can separate their contributions .

Challenge
Hello ! My name is Francy Paredes . I am a costume designer and I have my own
company with the name 301 Asian kitchen . My challenge is to innovate in terms of design and the
comfort of my consumers , in this case men specifically .
I manage the formal sports world and through a market analysis take out a new product
every fortnight to keep the brand active . And be up to date in each department because
everything is a chain , which has gears so that it does not collapse , we currently have 4
areas , design , production , distribution and commercial ; but in the future we want to have 8
areas adding communication , human resources , development and technology and
management control .
For this , our team will begin a filtering of personnel , to take the best human resources , this
should not exceed 40 business days to complete the human resource to get an ideal product
for our consumer and thus be able to launch into the national market with new collections .
Selection
To begin with , we have applied some filter tools thinking about obtaining the best human
resources in our company , and the best in the field that we need so that we win everything
as a team .
We always have to do tests so that the result of the product and the packaging comes out in
excellent condition , we are a quality brand and every day we are working on new ideas and
innovations .
Application
For our filter , we must take out the required needs , with that we look for profiles that can
meet them , for this we rely on tests with technological tools , execution in some tests and
behave socially .
To begin complementing and adapting tasks , processes and in project management , to take
control and process of each movement .
Once there is the adequate personnel to complete the areas , we proceed to the execution
where we will develop it in 5 steps , initiation , planning , execution , control and closure .
Where first the adaptation of the personnel will begin in 8 days , second we begin with the
execution steps in each area to structure our tasks and processes in a more agile way .
It is expected that as time goes by the process will remain and produce a document with a
clear description of our new processes / more agile workflow .
Third , we focus on getting clarity about our tasks and priorities .
Always taking into account new ideas or proposals to improve the method of execution of
the products .
Vision
After these analyzes and adaptation processes , the human capital identified possible future
errors or damages in the process , and came up with the solution to avoid committing them ,
anticipating an optimal and agile result for the workflow
Here I enclose the developed mental map and the cartography of the movement .

Challenge
My organization assigned me the role of a Principal Investigator to identify the requirements needed to develop the next generation of effective electronic system that requires fewer men to operate by leveraging through advances in technology . The intention is to use this phase to prepare for a major project that the organization intends to embark on for our key customer . It is important that we know what we want to and need to do that fits the organization βs capabilities , to scope the project to what the customer wants by offering the best value and an accurate project costing and schedule to meet the financial objectives . There is limited resources assigned , and it does not help that our competitors keep knocking on the customer βs door wanting to showcase their latest product . We will need to start small and act fast , do more with less .
Selection
We want to provide our customer with the new user experience that they can get with our new system that reduces the operating cost , what we view will give us as an edge over our competitors . We want to learn quickly from the customer what works well for them and what needs to improve . From the various design thinking tools and activities , the learning launch tool suits well in this context as we can build prototypes for our customer to use it so as to experiment with our hypothesis , get the truth to confirm or dis - confirm our assumptions and iterate the process to learn from the data gathered and improve . Not forgetting that we want to do the experiments quickly and inexpensively due to limited resources .
Application
We engage our customer to learn more about their usual workflow in operating similar electronic system . We follow through the daily routine in their real - life working environment , ask questions to uncover the rationale behind the way they work as well as interviewing their senior staffs on their experience to find relevant information and search for the pattern of usage . From the insights gained , design criteria are established and we brainstormed to come out with the idea of automation of the user system software with an interactive graphical user interface that require just one person to operate . We asked a few software developers to help develop a rapid prototype , the first spiral for the learning launch and deployed the software with our customer to test out our new proposed automated workflow . A workshop to demonstrate the new features of the interactive graphical user interface provides to the customer to be familiar with the hands - on experience .
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool to test our assumptions , the feedback that we gathered from the customer βs hands - on experience highlighted that we have missed out a few key insights about the customer . The operators that use our new software come from a vast background of experience and education levels , and each one has a preference to do things in a certain manner . Some of them are
used to having the information presented in tables , while some would want to add in graphs and statistics that can aid them in making decisions . We realized that while the customer appreciates the high level of automation that help to reduce the cognitive workload , there is a need to allow customization on the interactive graphical user interface . This is to allow viewing of processed data in various formats to suit different preference . We learned from the first spiral prototype and incorporated the feature of customization of the interactive graphical user interface in the next spiral prototype .
Approach

### Input: Reflection β Learning Launch
Challenge
My organization assigned me the role of a Principal Investigator to identify the requirements needed to develop the next generation of effective electronic system that requires fewer men to operate by leveraging through advances in technology . The intention is to use this phase to prepare for a major project that the organization intends to embark on for our key customer . It is important that we know what we want to and need to do that fits the organization βs capabilities , to scope the project to what the customer wants by offering the best value and an accurate project costing and schedule to meet the financial objectives . There is limited resources assigned , and it does not help that our competitors keep knocking on the customer βs door wanting to showcase their latest product . We will need to start small and act fast , do more with less .
Selection
We want to provide our customer with the new user experience that they can get with our new system that reduces the operating cost , what we view will give us as an edge over our competitors . We want to learn quickly from the customer what works well for them and what needs to improve . From the various design thinking tools and activities , the learning launch tool suits well in this context as we can build prototypes for our customer to use it so as to experiment with our hypothesis , get the truth to confirm or dis - confirm our assumptions and iterate the process to learn from the data gathered and improve . Not forgetting that we want to do the experiments quickly and inexpensively due to limited resources .
Application
We engage our customer to learn more about their usual workflow in operating similar electronic system . We follow through the daily routine in their real - life working environment , ask questions to uncover the rationale behind the way they work as well as interviewing their senior staffs on their experience to find relevant information and search for the pattern of usage . From the insights gained , design criteria are established and we brainstormed to come out with the idea of automation of the user system software with an interactive graphical user interface that require just one person to operate . We asked a few software developers to help develop a rapid prototype , the first spiral for the learning launch and deployed the software with our customer to test out our new proposed automated workflow . A workshop to demonstrate the new features of the interactive graphical user interface provides to the customer to be familiar with the hands - on experience .
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool to test our assumptions , the feedback that we gathered from the customer βs hands - on experience highlighted that we have missed out a few key insights about the customer . The operators that use our new software come from a vast background of experience and education levels , and each one has a preference to do things in a certain manner . Some of them are
used to having the information presented in tables , while some would want to add in graphs and statistics that can aid them in making decisions . We realized that while the customer appreciates the high level of automation that help to reduce the cognitive workload , there is a need to allow customization on the interactive graphical user interface . This is to allow viewing of processed data in various formats to suit different preference . We learned from the first spiral prototype and incorporated the feature of customization of the interactive graphical user interface in the next spiral prototype .
Approach
As we review through the approach in finding out the pain of what our customer experiences with the current system , we gathered that the learning launch is an appropriate tool . However , in its application , it seems like we do not know what we do not know , which is the lack of the ability to capture the mind of the operators . We can probably involve them during the prototyping to co - create the test ideas , to confer a sense of ownership , to get their opinions heard , and to provide visualization of what to expect . These can help to understand each other better .

Challenge
I am working as an operations manager for a European airline . The challenge for our team is to improve the passenger flow in the aircraft during the boarding process to increase the punctuality of departing narrow body aircraft . In the current situation there is a problem with the amount and volume of hand luggage that passengers carry with them when they show up at the gate for boarding . Most of the passengers ( around 75 % ) are so called transfer passengers that have arrived with a long - haul flight in a wide body aircraft ( often operated by a partner airline with less stringent rules for hand luggage ) to our airport . They typically transfer to a short haul flight which is operated with a narrow body aircraft . These aircraft have a more limited luggage capacity in the overhead bins compared to the wide body aircraft and when the departing narrow - body flights are fully booked the total amount of hand luggage of all passengers does not fit in the overhead bins . This does not only lead to discussions with the crew on board of the aircraft , it also delays the boarding process and thus the departure of the flight as the overflow of hand luggage needs to be removed from the passenger cabin , brought to the ramp where it gets loaded in the belly of the aircraft .
Selection
The tool our team selected to explore and test ideas to improve the situation is the β learning launch β tool . This design tool is focused on doing fast and cheap experiments ( so called learning launches ) to test hypothesis and obtain data to determine whether key assumptions are true and learn if ideas are good .
The reason we selected this tool is that it is relatively easy and effective to apply in our situation . We realized we could do cheap experiments by applying small modifications to our boarding process to test our hypothesis with real customers with a small group of gates / flights . And we can evaluate the results by comparing it with similar flights applying the unmodified / standard boarding process . This way we can objectively see what works and what does not work .
Application
How did we apply the learning launch tool ? With a small team of employees , we first observed the current boarding process of several departing narrow body flights to identify what we believed were the key problem areas . This gave us a better understanding of the key issues that we believed led to delays in the boarding process .
The next thing we did with the team was generating ideas how we could potentially streamline the boarding process by attacking the key issues we observed . In a couple of hours , we came to a list of around 10 ideas that we thought would be interesting . To validate our ideas and the underlying assumptions we decided to test them in practice one by one by applying small process changes and observe the effect in practice .
As an example , we learned from observing the regular boarding process that most passengers do not realize that smaller carry - on luggage items can be placed under the seat in front of them in the cabin . We assumed that by making passengers more aware of this option we could change their behavior and increase the use of this solution which would leave more space available in the overhead luggage bins for the larger items .
We decided to test this hypothesis by pro - actively approaching passengers waiting in the gate area before boarding to explain our test and request them to put their smaller items under the seat in front of them once they arrived at their seat in the aircraft . To increase their awareness and remind them of this option , we created special blue colored labels which we attached to those smaller hand luggage items that would fit underneath a seat . We tested this on 20 departing flights and noticed an average reduction of the overall boarding process lead - time with 5 minutes ( compared to similar flights using the standard boarding process ) due to a better flow in the aircraft . Based on this successful experiment we decided to scale the use of the special blue hand luggage label on all our departing narrow body flights . This solution is still in use today and works very well .
Insight
The learning launch tool worked very well in this situation . We were able to quickly test our hypothesis in practice and observe the effects of our process modifications in real time . We realized that using the gate area environment is actually a very practical and cheap way to create our own β test laboratory β . For some reason we had never thought of this option before . In addition , passengers found it very interesting to participate in the experiments we did because they fully recognized the pain points we tried to solve and felt recognized as valuable customers .
What turned out to be difficult in this set up was to get quick feedback from passengers on how they experienced the process modifications . Soon after they boarded the aircraft the aircraft doors were closed , and the aircraft left . Of course , we could have asked them to fill in a questionnaire on board of the aircraft ( with assistance of the cabin crew ) but that would have created quite an administrative burden and would not lead to a quick feedback process .
Approach
What we did not realize at first , is that it would have been interesting to use the same learning launch tool but actively involve passengers more upfront in the process during brainstorming on ideas to improve the situation . This would probably have taught us quicker which process modifications would be embraced by the passengers easily , and which modifications would probably be more challenging to implement or even would not lead to success . This could have saves us from doing some experiments that turned out not be successful after all .
So , in a next round of learning launches we will involve customers in the early stages of our experiments to identify those ideas that have the highest probability to be implemented successfully .

However due to this Covid-19 pandemic situation there is a huge demand for online grocery delivery platforms . Although the demand is there sellers and vendors are facing difficulties in supplying grocery deliveries due to lack of sufficient supply . The reason for this huge demand is mainly due to the lack of distribution of the orders . Majority of the population is trying to order groceries from super markets and larger stores . However the small retail shops are not getting any sales . Selectionβ : I have used the technique of using a straw man visualization of a problem domain with a set of questions or prompts for discussion to allow a diverse group of stakeholders to learn from each other in the process of defining the scope , boundaries , key elements , and relationships between elements to consider when identifying pain points and opportunities for improvements or solutions . Applicationβ : I used straw man visualization to identify the problem and the surrounding details around the problem . I have identified the key parties or personas in visualizing the problem . I draw visual objects representing key user roles , partners and materials of the process flow . I βve used the existing data sources to identify the current delivery process and conducted interviews with users to understand current status and the pain points . I will divide the stakeholders into groups of 5 - 6 participants each representing a different organization or area of interest . Each group receives a poster - size copy of the straw man graphic that they can write on directly , or use sticky notes to make comments . I give them two - three questions to answer , such as :
1 ) What key elements are missing from the graphic ? 2 ) What would you change about the graphic to make it more accurately reflect your
problem space ?
3 ) What key insights do you have about the relationships between the entities in your
problem space ? I give them approximately 20 minutes to discuss the questions and mark up the graphic . Then I have each group report out on their answers to those three questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their poster . Insightβ : According to the feedback received some of the key elements are missing in the visualization created . Instead they suggested a different view explaining and adding more data to the
graphic . 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 . Additionally this enables the user to identify the hidden elements impacting the efficiency and feasibility of the flow delivering groceries and connecting vendors . Approach : I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning . However for the next scenario I would use visualization as the starting point of the process of understanding the current situation of the problem and later combine those findings with the outcome of other tools such as storytelling . Because it enables users to understand the problem in a more flexible way .

Childhood Stage using Visualization Tool
The challenge that I choose is the Challenge for Interactive
Learning with Kids in their Childhood Stage . I choose this Design Thinking Challenge because as an educator of kids in the community and in my nephews and nieces , I find it hard to get their attention as gadgets , technology preoccupy children nowadays , and they hardly interact with each other .
For this approach , I select Visualization as a tool to combat the
gap of attention to these kids because the problem arises with too much focus on the media of using gadgets so to kill that fire , I use the good fire to extinguish the old fire .
To apply it , I kindly suggest using interactive medias for
visualization like using or including media like YouTube or Artificial Intelligence to caught the attention of Children . Also , incorporate the things that they watch and use it for good learning strategy and add exercises , personal and group exercises to amplify not only their attention and learning capability but also their social capability .
As an insight , I fully learned that our eyes plays a great role for
better integration of good media . It is for us to select the best visual tool and strategy because the one that decide whether it is a good or bad media is no how we used it and how we apply it in our lives .
As my learning , it is important to guide the children on what they
see because psychologically speaking , what they see has a big percentage to what they will be become . As responsible adults , also play a good role to them and make sure that what they see to you is the one that you want to see to them .

As part of an organization that is in the process of turning its β Training Area β into a β Change Management Area β . We are constantly looking forward to improving our clients experience with collaborative tools and services for their business . Right now we are facing a problem with long time relationship customers . They are no longer satisfied with our current training programs and their contents , because as they say : β We already had all the training you can offer β¦ ΒΏ what else do you have ? . The current β pandemia β issue that our world is living , presented an even more challenging scenario . Because some of our ideas to manage this challenge would demand presential activities with our clients . Now we can only use remote tools to accomplish this . Selection : Learning Launch We had some ideas to offer β WOW β training experiences to our clients . But without consistent data and experiences about β Online β and β Remote β training activities . We are forced to experiment with our ideas . So we decided to go with a Learning Launch process . The problem was that we could n't β just Try β with sensitive and complicated clients . So we targeted some of our clients with strong , friendly relationships with us . And also with a strong focus on innovation , so they could understand what we were trying to do , with them as a β Learning partner β to try , experiment and iterate some of our training ideas directly with their users . As they felt part of a bigger Innovation process , this idea had a very good reception with them . So we had the green light to move forward . Application : We develop some quick β Collaborative Workshops β . To teach our collaborative tools in action . We build small teams to train ( with the Users of our clients ) , and test the activities we developed . Looking for quick and iterative results that could lead us to a final β Workshops Training Program β . We were expecting wide and transversal insights , so we built teams with participants from different areas and levels of knowledge of our collaborative tools . So we could get different and relevant opinions . Insights : The insights we got were not the ones we expected . The opinions and insights were the kind of : β The contents that we cover during the workshop , were too advanced for me , i felt useless during the activity β , and also , all the opposite : β The contents of the workshop were too basic , and felt that my teammates , could n't even understand my ideas for the workshop , because their knowledge was too basic β . Nevertheless , the general idea of the workshop had a good reception on their basis , but their contents were the problem .
Approach : On a second wave of Workshops . We worked with our clients to separate their users according to knowledge of our Collaborative Tools . These first insights also served us to Show our client that their users were not as prepared and advanced as they thought . So , we performed again the workshops , but divided into Basic , and Advanced Workshops . And for their respective user profile . This time , the Workshops worked perfectly . The Learning Launch not just showed us how to improve our Workshops and take them to the next level . But also gave us important insights about the level of Knowledge of our Client 's users . This allowed us to perform also β Regular Training Programs β to level the knowledge of the users ( something that it was n't even in our scope for the first time ) .

The current β pandemia β issue that our world is living , presented an even more challenging scenario . Because some of our ideas to manage this challenge would demand presential activities with our clients . Now we can only use remote tools to accomplish this . Selection : Learning Launch We had some ideas to offer β WOW β training experiences to our clients . But without consistent data and experiences about β Online β and β Remote β training activities . We are forced to experiment with our ideas . So we decided to go with a Learning Launch process . The problem was that we could n't β just Try β with sensitive and complicated clients . So we targeted some of our clients with strong , friendly relationships with us . And also with a strong focus on innovation , so they could understand what we were trying to do , with them as a β Learning partner β to try , experiment and iterate some of our training ideas directly with their users . As they felt part of a bigger Innovation process , this idea had a very good reception with them . So we had the green light to move forward . Application : We develop some quick β Collaborative Workshops β . To teach our collaborative tools in action . We build small teams to train ( with the Users of our clients ) , and test the activities we developed . Looking for quick and iterative results that could lead us to a final β Workshops Training Program β . We were expecting wide and transversal insights , so we built teams with participants from different areas and levels of knowledge of our collaborative tools . So we could get different and relevant opinions . Insights : The insights we got were not the ones we expected . The opinions and insights were the kind of : β The contents that we cover during the workshop , were too advanced for me , i felt useless during the activity β , and also , all the opposite : β The contents of the workshop were too basic , and felt that my teammates , could n't even understand my ideas for the workshop , because their knowledge was too basic β . Nevertheless , the general idea of the workshop had a good reception on their basis , but their contents were the problem .
Approach : On a second wave of Workshops . We worked with our clients to separate their users according to knowledge of our Collaborative Tools . These first insights also served us to Show our client that their users were not as prepared and advanced as they thought . So , we performed again the workshops , but divided into Basic , and Advanced Workshops . And for their respective user profile . This time , the Workshops worked perfectly . The Learning Launch not just showed us how to improve our Workshops and take them to the next level . But also gave us important insights about the level of Knowledge of our Client 's users . This allowed us to perform also β Regular Training Programs β to level the knowledge of the users ( something that it was n't even in our scope for the first time ) .

Visualization
Challenge & Selection
Visualization is a great tool that I use all the time . I work as IT Business Analytic , so I am in the middle between klients and developers .
Usually , customers encounter difficulties in understanding technical things and at the same time for developers is not so easy to understand the creative idea of customer . So I use visualization to achieve a shared understanding of a idea / customers needs by group of developers before attempting to define possible solutions of idea implementation .
I have used the technique of using a straw man visualization of a problem together with a set of questions or prompts for discussion to allow a diverse group of developers / klients to learn from each other in the process of defining the scope , boundaries , key elements , and relationships between elements to consider when identifying opportunities for implementation
Application
I start the process after I have heard needs / ideas of klients . I start by drawing the graphics of idea workflow . From time to time I give some question or prompts for discussion in order to get full information of requirements from customers and in case of developers in order to get all details about technical part . During this process customers / developers get new great ideas . After the meeting , I digitize ideas .
Insight & Approach
What I have learned from conducting this exercise is that while the graphic is important for reinforcing their understanding of the problem we are working to solve , the more valuable aspect of the activity is the shared insights and shared learning that occurs while we 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 ours perspectives and develop insights into potential root causes of ours problems .
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 our work .

As a user experience designer within an organization that builds web applications , I work with a broad range of stakeholders that include
clients representing a diverse set of vertical markets , sales and marketing professionals , project managers , project owners within an Agile software development framework , backend and front - end developers .
In order to build successful web applications , we must start by building a shared understanding of the users and their contexts . Often neither written nor spoken language alone is suο¬cient for that to happen across the diverse knowledge domains represented by all stakeholders .
Visualization is a perfect tool that allows me to translate concepts across disciplines without losing the fundamental meaning to the jargon of each represented profession . By leveraging story boarding , journey and ecosystem maps , ο¬ow charts , or simple diagrams , I facilitate the process in which all stakeholders build a shared understanding of the problem at hand in order to collaborate on an optimal solution .
Application
In working with a client on a new web application , I begin with a discovery process . Sometimes I facilitate a discovery workshop that allows all stakeholders to spend time with our team to build a shared understanding of the problem , and to start co - designing a solution . Activities that are part of a discovery workshop include creating user personas , drawing journey maps , ecosystem maps , or story boards .
User personas , a tool I use frequently , while not entirely visual ( there is a lot of written information included in them ) , contain one important visual element β a sketch or a photo of a person . Humans have an emotional response to faces of other humans . Having a visual representation of a person βs face , even if roughly sketched with a few strokes to indicate the eyes and the mouth , allows stakeholder to relate to the user for whom they βre building a product . Personas are , in my opinion , empathy building tools that can transform how stakeholders approach the problem at hand .
Drawing and viewing a graphic representation of a user βs ecosystem or a journey the user travels in life while encountering and interacting with the product or service gives all stakeholders an opportunity to take a step back , assess their own understanding of the ecosystem within which they βre building a product , exchange insights , and build a shared understanding with the team that will be building the product . No written requirements documents share the breadth and depth of the needed knowledge quite so eο¬ectively as visualizing it with tools such journey maps , ecosystem maps , or story boards . Below is an example of an ecosystem map .
Insight & Approach
Ultimately , I think , it βs all about visual story - telling . We start talking about the situation at hand ; we tell the story of the people involved and the contexts in which the story occurs . And while doing that , we document the story visually . We draw sketches of the characters , we use symbols to indicate actions . It βs a simple and powerful way to build a visual representation of all the actors in the story , all the actions they undertake , and all the events they are subject to .
Visualization techniques allow us to overcome language barriers ( implicit or explicit ) and to get at the meaning of what we try to convey in a very direct , experiential way . They are also a great way to oο¬oad cognitive eο¬ort of trying to keep many moving parts in memory ; instead we visualize the pieces through drawing and diagramming , and we move the pieces around until the visualization represents everyone βs understanding of the subject matter .
Sometimes the greatest challenge is to get participants fully engaged . People who are unaccustomed to visualization techniques may feel inadequate and shy about getting up and drawing . I βd like to experiment with diο¬erent activities and ways to encourage involvement . Perhaps some simple warm - up exercises could be leveraged at the onset of a workshop to give the participants a taste of what βs coming . It is also possible that diο¬erent groups will require slightly diο¬erent ratio of visual and verbal story - telling . Maybe at times , instead of insisting on everyone drawing , I could encourage participants to talk , and draw diagrams myself until they feel more comfortable stepping up to pick up the marker . I believe that meeting people where they are is often a more eο¬ective way of getting desired outcomes than forcing them out of their comfort zone too soon .

Challenge & Selection
As a tool for solving the problem of interest and involvement of my colleagues in a new project , I decided to use storytelling . This tool , as discussed in the second week of lectures , creates a cause . The cause of the importance of a problem that ignites hearts and ignites fire , motivating people to solve it . Storytelling is a very good tool in terms of its emotional component . Therefore , he can perfectly awaken feelings and emotions in a person , and this is exactly what in most cases moves people .
Application
The first thing I did was conduct an analysis of the target audience of my product , and also organized a small meeting with my colleagues in an informal setting to learn more about what they live , what values they have , what they do besides work . All this is necessary in order to feel some kind of emotional connection with these people to create a further story that should capture not only my target audience , but also awaken ambition in my colleagues . The clothing brand that I am trying to develop should resonate with young people of 20 - 30 years old , who are bored with a huge variety of clothes , which , at times , confuses , because in these days of overproduction of goods and services it is very difficult to make a choice of what you really need . This is precisely the pain of my target audience , which I was imbued with while conducting the analysis . After an informal meeting with colleagues , I learned that many of them also suffer from an oversaturation of information and a huge pile of everything new , which is growing exponentially every day . The first thought that came to my mind after these insights is that my story should be short , simple , but at the same time it should give a breath of fresh air so that people will inspire and it will become easier for them to breathe in a complex modern world . I wrote a fairly short , but clearly coherent story in which I was able to explain difficult things in a very simple way . The telling of this story was easy , dynamic , and most importantly , it answered to all important questions as clearly as possible . I ended my story with a simple challenge that inspired all my colleagues - Β« To work not for quantity , but for the quality of the uniqueness and creativity of the product . We need to give more air to our potential customers Β» Then there will be no problem of the widest choice , which is easier to suffocate than have something to buy .
Insight and approach
Having told my story first to my colleagues , then on a more global level - to a potential target audience , I realized that storytelling is a really powerful emotional tool that will capture any person if you get into their soul with your story . But , of course , I did not touch on all the pains in my story , which I will try to fix in the next story , but in general I managed to emotionally excite colleagues and the target audience . When people feel that they are sincerely understood and you offer them a solution , inspire them to interact and do specific actions that will help make their life a little better , they are ready to take steps with enthusiasm and anticipation of freedom . In such moments , you can feel the team spirit and it captures you and inspires you to move forward towards innovation .

I was introduced to mind mapping through a mentor who challenged his employees to ' think different ' . When we met to work on a business problem one of the first things he would do is draw / doodle / map what he knew and input from the meeting on a white board . I have also been part of mind mapping exercises at sustainability conferences and in market research . Right now I am laid off late in my career and looking for change towards doing something I will find interesting as well as provide a more balanced lifestyle .
Selection :
So naturally the tool I selected is mind mapping . My intent was to think freely about what is important to me combined with what I like to do within some type of goal framing to prepare for possible execution of the idea .
Application :
First to prepare I read some books and articles . There was one from Fortune magazine with advice from Warren Buffet about focusing on few things and prioritizing one goal in order to be successful . A professor recommended the Marshall Goldsmith book Mojo . Also I was working with an outplacement service to modernize my resume , practice elevator speeches and interview with recruiters to polish self promotion skills .
While this was going on I set aside some quite time to mind map my immediate future . To think about what I want life to be like combined with what I was learning . I took a large piece of paper and put ' Ashley 2015 ' in the middle . From there I thought about major areas of interest and spidered them out . The areas I wound up with are : People , Health , Finances , Home . Each of these encompassed a few more areas in detail so I kept spidering until I felt I had no more ideas to add to it .
Insight :
After leaving it alone for a day I sat down to review it . Overall I like having the visual to easily be able to focus on how this years goals provide direction for the future . I found alignment in some of the items and started drawing dotted lines between them . For example , journaling daily aligns with writing Linked In posts and to my goal of writing a book about analytics .
Approach :
Mind mapping for goal planning is something that can be repeated as needed . There are apps for it that I have used previously but I like just drawing it out with a pen and paper . It helps me keep focus on the ideas rather than the technology . I do n't think I would use a different tool . Rather I feel I would like to continue applying mind mapping on this and other projects .

STREET_ADDRESS - A full or partial street address that is associated with the student, such as their home address. | As part of the assignment , I would like to first reflect on the concept of visualization . For me , visualization is the translation of mental representations into visual images , when a person consciously imagines a desired situation or object for the purpose of their physical embodiment . It helps me to more vividly imagine this or that situation . I use this example a lot in my profession . I 'll talk about this a little later . Thus , this method allows you , as it were , to make information or something else more understandable not only for you , but also for others , when you want to explain something . Let 's go directly to the task . I will use logo design as an example . Task : the customer came to the designer to design a logo for the company . Selection : I have selected the element of the visualization . Since this will help to transfer my ideas from my head , for example , to paper and express them more specifically for the customer . Application : I will start my work with a client briefing . A brief is a short survey of a client about what kind of logo he wants to get , what his company does and what values it has . Having received answers from the customer , I analyze all the information and the first ideas appear in my head . This is where the visualization method helps me . I start to make small sketches on paper in order to show them later to the client . Thus , it will be easier for him to understand my ideas : he sees the drawing itself , presents it as a logo and analyzes whether it is suitable for his logo . Insight : Visualization allows you to build communication with the customer faster . After all , I will not just tell you about my ideas , but I will show them on paper or mockups . Approach : Perhaps I would try to sketch the logo almost as soon as the idea pops into my head . This would speed up the process .

### Input: As part of the assignment , I would like to first reflect on the concept of visualization . For me , visualization is the translation of mental representations into visual images , when a person consciously imagines a desired situation or object for the purpose of their physical embodiment . It helps me to more vividly imagine this or that situation . I use this example a lot in my profession . I 'll talk about this a little later . Thus , this method allows you , as it were , to make information or something else more understandable not only for you , but also for others , when you want to explain something .

A learning launch ( a design Thinking tool ) is a carefully designed experiment or prototype designed to test the key underlying value - generating assumptions of a potential new - growth initiative .
1 . Challenge : The Fast Moving Consumer Goods ( FMCGs ) promote the products before the
actual sales are commenced . Most of the promotion for FMCGs happen through television , hoardings on the roadside . The customer is informed about the available brands of products before the actual sale starts in the retail market . The challenge is generating ideas for increasing sales during the purchase decision is made by the consumer happen in the malls .
What helps the consumer to choose a brand among many brands arranged on the shelves ? Is there any advanced method of promotion to enhance the sales of a specific brand made available in the mall ?
2 . Selection : Learning Launch is all about quickly testing the idea through a pilot study . Learning
Launch is the most appropriate in this case as the case call for the idea quickly and assess its
effectiveness without much experimentation . To identify ad select an idea that enhances sales of a brand of product among the various brands of a product in the mail , the idea that seems to be working is through shelves promotion . Shelves promotion has been in practice for a few decades . The recent growth in the culture of periodical say monthly or bi - monthly buying groceries / FMCGs is very evident in developing countries like India .
This method of promoting brands while the actual buying happens in the malls is effective . As an extension to this method , Audio Video Visual promotion seems to be more effective . Visuals about a brand on a screen placed near the shelves where various brands are available to increase the buyer preference of that brand over the other brands .
3 . Application : The malls in India usually look like the picture below . There may be some banners
or posters promoting some brands . But the Audio Video Visual promotion near the shelves is very uncommon . There would be a lot of space over the shelves and also between the shelves . There is always a scope for improving the promotional methods practised in the malls .
A new method of promotion is an advanced version of shelve promotion i.e. , Audio Visual promotion of brands on the screens placed on the shelves or over or beside the shelves .
This new promotion method helps the consumers to quickly focus on one brand and they are persuaded to buy that brand . This will help the mall not only to generate more sales for a specific brand that is being promoted on the screen but also charge the brand for promoting their brand on the screen . This helps the mall to generate more revenues both from consumers and also manufacturers .

Reflection β Visualization
ο§ Challenge & Selection
Visualization is very smart design tool that we can use in many different ways , that makes our ideas tangible and concrete for ease of communication while sharing information to achieve a shared understanding among a group of designers before defining some solutions to the problem . Using this tool allows us to think in a creative way & pay attention to new possibilities that we have n't yet think about . As a designer , I often use this technique of visualization in my field to present my idea clearly , which ensures that the intended idea reaches all listeners and specialists , which contributes to discussing it to discover the strengths and weaknesses of the project and share solutions for improvement . This allows us all to learn from each other , even if we have some differences of opinion .
ο§ Application
As part of applying this tool , l usually start by defining the main idea to be studied and visualized . I often use simple hand drawings ( sketches ) by using simple shapes and some colors showing the proposed materials , which guarantee ease of understanding depending on their simplicity , and thus to be discussed with all stakeholders who will help a lot in developing it while we are in the initial stage , and in these visualizations , l put in my mind to use some clear & easy symbols which can be very easy to understand and contribute to the delivery of the idea and from here we start the first stage of participation and discussion is to understand the needs of people , the labor market and defining our targets , which ensures the development of the appropriate product towards assured success . For the discussion and activity , I often set a meeting for all stakeholders ' participants , where we present the main concept idea and the initial form through some visualization , story maps & a detailed presentation of all its aspects . Then we open the door for discussion and ideas sharing while trying to answer some important questions , such as 1 . Has this product idea been used before ? 2 . Are there any similar products available in the market ? 3 . Who is using this product ? 4 . What is its importance to its users ? 5 . What makes it different ? During the presentation and discussion , we always have some people to take notes and write all the comments and opinions to be studied carefully later , as it may last for 30 minutes , we can discuss and improve the conceptual sketches & visualizations through the reports and notes provided , and this is what we will start working on after such meetings .
ο§ Insight & Approach
By using this technology in the meetings and discussions , it has greatly contributed to expanding the horizons of thinking and seeing problems from other points of view , which develops our thinking and increases our focus on seeing the root of the problem , understand it 's variables , and work to find the best solutions for it . Instead of thinking in a superficial way and jumping to take some random decisions . Also , the graphics are easy to understand and discuss to find the defects in the main focal idea of the project , which makes us all learn about the things that we may not pay attention to . That 's why I always use graphics & but l will use it to explain my ideas and thoughts from the beginning , to gain from discussing many ideas that may contribute to developing my ideas .

Challenge
I work in a technology company , in the supply chain management department , and the main challenge at the moment is that in recent years the company has not managed to significantly increase its client portfolio , whether other private companies or end consumers . This situation has generated sales to decrease gradually in the last 2 years . So , the main challenge is to get a large number of new clients in order to boost sales that , despite continuing to generate positive margins for the company , are not part of the ideal results scenario .
Selection
I believe that the learning launch tool will help us to determine the best way to launch a more precise and effective sales campaign in order to retain the current clients and get new ones . Because as Christian Horn mention in one of the course videos , sometimes the traditional approach not always works and we have to make some experimentation with the market trough tests in order to realize if our ideas are actually facts or just assumptions . It seems like the common way of emailing and calling clients of the company isnΒ΄t opening new paths for the business .
Application
For our first launch we are going to have a team ( formed by colleagues from different departments ) that is going to explore how we can use a new channel of interaction with clients in order to have a deeper engagement trough webinars ( for the corporate clients ) and gather information about their real needs ; which channels of communication and sales they prefer ; determine what kind payment they prefer , what are the principal barriers that its business presents in terms of technology and how we can help them , etc . Those clients are going to receive some feedback and recommendations for their business along the activity . The positive aspect here is that apart from having an approach with them , they are going to be in our database for future campaigns . At this point it βs important to mention that as we could see on week four , our first teamwork will find if their ideas meet the client βs needs by confirming and disconfirming facts .
On the other hand , the other teamwork is going to focus the efforts on the final consumers by creating two different landing pages , this sales channel is going to be completely new for the company so a digital marketer will be contacted to do the publicity . In that context , one of the landing pages will be oriented to provide a high - ticket hardware product with one free year of technical support and the other one a standard price with some percentage of discount . So potential customers are going to register first trough some advertising on social media and then will be directed to those landing pages . At the end they will have 3 options , the high - ticket landing page , the standard discount one or not buying anything .
Insight and Approach
It was very interesting to see the results of both tests . On the one hand , our first team , which had focused on the corporate sector , realized that their current clients were not innovating in technology as well as the company itself . That led to less demand for hardware and software . At first glance it was thought that it was because they had preferred other providers , but this was not the case . While a key point of the potential new customers was the short payment time that was being offered to them , so it was decided to give a longer payment term for the first 3 purchases and thus retain them .
Regarding the second team , great was the surprise when the percentage of final consumers who bought the vast majority preferred to pay the prices of the most elaborated products in order to have a free technical support service for a year . With this , we wanted to identify if clients preferred something premium or standard . Thanks to this information , we know that we can promote high value - added sales thanks to a basic technical service , which will be presented by customers only on sporadic occasions , but in this way , they feel more secure in buying .
This is how thanks to these two tests we mitigate our doubts regarding this great problem that was occurring . Now with the information collected we will be able to focus more on each positive point and reach customers more effectively .

The challenge for us was to identify alternative sources of revenue for a bread delivery service .
Growth at the delivery service had become stagnant , and the business was looking how to best
utilize their assets , which included , three delivery trucks and a network of restaurants and
small shops . As the main assets the bread delivery service had included a community of small
businesses , we used the Journey Mapping tool . This tool follows a customer as they receive a
service , and utilizes ethnographic research modalities to establish the human elements in the
process and uncover hidden opportunities in the relationship the delivery service had with its
clients .
Application
To implement the tool , we spent a day with each of the three delivery drivers , during which
time we took careful notes of how each of the employees interacted with the customers and
which routes they took between deliveries . During our ride along , we had the opportunity to
speak with the customers and uncovered some opportunities in the community of restaurants
and shops that were being delivered to . One of the restaurants just started making pastries for
a local chain of small grocery store which happened to be a customer as well . We were able to
tweak the schedule and some of the routes so that two of the trucks that would have been just
driving back to the bakery empty now delivered on its return trip .
Insight
This opportunity was best realized because the network of clients was treated as an ecosystem
within which the bread delivery service operated . Using the human interaction during the
mapping process made it so that a new stream of revenue could be derived with a little logistic
tweaking .
Approach
We were fortunate enough to uncover a revenue generating insight using Journey Mapping .
The co - creation tool was also implemented during the process . One of the drivers had the idea
to increase the web presence by starting a weekly vlog using video from the dash cams
mounted in the delivery trucks , which has since been implemented . Although the vlog has not
created any new revenue , the drivers have an extra bit of β pride on the drive β which has
increased moral .

### Input: Challenge & Selection
The challenge for us was to identify alternative sources of revenue for a bread delivery service .
Growth at the delivery service had become stagnant , and the business was looking how to best
utilize their assets , which included , three delivery trucks and a network of restaurants and
small shops . As the main assets the bread delivery service had included a community of small
businesses , we used the Journey Mapping tool . This tool follows a customer as they receive a
service , and utilizes ethnographic research modalities to establish the human elements in the
process and uncover hidden opportunities in the relationship the delivery service had with its
clients .
Application
To implement the tool , we spent a day with each of the three delivery drivers , during which
time we took careful notes of how each of the employees interacted with the customers and
which routes they took between deliveries . During our ride along , we had the opportunity to
speak with the customers and uncovered some opportunities in the community of restaurants
and shops that were being delivered to . One of the restaurants just started making pastries for
a local chain of small grocery store which happened to be a customer as well . We were able to
tweak the schedule and some of the routes so that two of the trucks that would have been just
driving back to the bakery empty now delivered on its return trip .
Insight
This opportunity was best realized because the network of clients was treated as an ecosystem
within which the bread delivery service operated . Using the human interaction during the
mapping process made it so that a new stream of revenue could be derived with a little logistic
tweaking .
Approach
We were fortunate enough to uncover a revenue generating insight using Journey Mapping .
The co - creation tool was also implemented during the process . One of the drivers had the idea
to increase the web presence by starting a weekly vlog using video from the dash cams
mounted in the delivery trucks , which has since been implemented . Although the vlog has not
created any new revenue , the drivers have an extra bit of β pride on the drive β which has
increased moral .

Challenge and selection
The tool I have choosed is story telling . It helps us connect events is a holistic experience through time . This unique nature of stories makes it one of the essential tools during the process of both products and services . Previously , we explored the nature and how it aims to understand problems from the user perspective to address them with human centric approach .
Application
Storytelling helps explain the interconnections among people in situations and settings , teaching broad lessons that engage real human beings . Listening engages people ; and empathy is an essential and fundamental component in the process .
Stories generate questions and questions expand the breadth and depth of stories , leading to lots of innovative thoughts and ideas . Storytelling becomes an important tool for feedback , which is the basis of the iterative process of prototyping that lead to solutions . Stories and prototypes are intertwined , explaining and repositioning experiences through a multitude of potential interpretations , which allow researchers to test new solutions before committing exclusively to a particular policy , program , or service .
I have already applied design thinking methodology to understand elements that lead to success in higher education among first generation and low - income students . Listening to and empathizing with their needs , I gained enormous insights into the types of support services and mentoring first gens feel will help them navigate the academic and social challenges they face from the time they complete high school throughout college . Anxiety and bewilderment are patterns of behavior I found among first generation low - income students when they share stories about their first encounter with campus culture . Many feel like outsiders , confused by the academy βs social and academic expectations .
Reflection in Action is part of the culture of Design Thinking ' in which learners are constantly engaging in a process of questioning , evaluating , testing and refining their ideas based on their observations and analysis .
Insight and approach
Storytelling brings language learning alive and creates a participatory and immersive experience that allows Young Learners to enjoy hearing the language in a dynamic , sometimes stylistic and entertaining way . Participation using key vocabulary and phrases can create an awareness of rhythm and structure .
Reflecting brings your team together to synchronize your movements , synthesize what you 've learned , and share your β aha β moments with each other . When reflecting , have
the empathy to understand diverse perspectives , the flexibility to respond to change , and the integrity to stay true to your team 's values .
Therefore even storytelling is a important tool in design thinking process .

my family are five persons , my mother , my two sisters , my brother and me . My mother works all the time so , we do all the things alone like train ourselves , for this my older brother and me have acquire responsibility and autonomy , for that we have been the best students in our school and then be accepted to university , but this adjectives do not have my other two brothers , who use all the time to be in internet and playing video games , for that they did not resolve their homework and they are almost to repeat the grade who they are , so i told them a story for become aware them , with a story that i listened 3 year ago by a young person who study in my school but because an accident he could not continue studying , but he shared his experience with all my group and that story changed my mindset and this story can change their mindset too .
Application
I gather my two brothers and i told them the history that basically says , that he began to use his time to be with friends , go to stadium and more thing different to study , and when he began to do that thing at the same time began to lose subject . but he did not put his attention in that and he continues doing different things and lost the year , he began to go match in other cities and in a match when the game finished he with his friends began to fight with the fans of the other team . In the fight my friend received a hit with a rock in his head , and he was almost to die . Thanks to a miracle he survived but he was injured . After the history i shared with my brothers what i do when i have homework , and i give them advances about how manipulate the time for do the homework , and they can use the internet too . we begin to talk about what can they do for this problem and we conclude to put the cellphones far away while they are doing homework
Insight & Approach
After that they began to study more and do their homework , they put a time to use the cellphone and when they have homework to do , put all the things that can amuse In a site where they can not distract them until they finish their obligations .
Is incredible how an history can change my mindset and 3 years letter the same history can change the mindset of my brothers , and how storytelling can resolve problems only with a conversation
This tool was very important because if i would not have this knowledge about design thinking maybe i had used other method , it maybe has not functioned as well than storytelling
I think that this tools are going to change my life since now , with this i will be able to resolve many problems that i will have while i am studying and when i work . I have to put this knowledge in all the problems that i could have .

Challenge
Since a long time ago I wanted to take advantage of Facebook to start selling sneakers there . My approach was to sell this product to users that have no possibility to buy these online , which it looked like a huge segment in my country but as this was a new business idea it needed to be tested somehow .
Selection
The tool I selected for my challenge is Learning Launch , the reason was because I needed to search for the truth from the customers as Michael Seidel mentioned . I have the hypothesis that people would buy the product through Facebook and to confirm or disconfirm my assumption I will have to use the Learning Launch tool .
Application
So instead of getting the products and tried to sell them I just pretended like if we already have the inventory and started uploading the sneakers posts in the Facebook Marketplace and advertising them , there was a lot of views and questions but no buys at all . I asked to some users that showed more interest the reason for not completing the buy and the general response was that they would prefer to have the product in their hands and taste them before buying , they also had doubts about the brand originality . The tool was applied effectively although my hypothesis was incorrect because I ran a small β zero cost experiment to verify my assumptions .
Insight
The benefit I get from the tool , apart from the fact that the idea of buying shoes through Facebook is not viable for my city customer segment is to always run small experiments of your business idea before anything , as we seen in the course , it is human nature to think that our ideas are good and we always try to find data that prove that , by running experiments like Learning Launch you can get the truth about your assumptions . I thought that my idea of selling sneakers via Facebook to what it is a huge segment in my country ( people who can not or are not used to buy online ) was a good one but the result changed my mind by noticing that the market here is still used to buy their products physically , they want to test the product before buying and also check if the brand is not a cheap copy .
Approach
What I would do different in the future is to always run small experiments of my business ideas , this was the first time I used a tool like Learning Launch and before I already tried some business ideas without success , using Learning Launch would have helped me to correct that . This tool seems a very small
experiment , but it is very powerful because it helps you to test your idea in a real environment with lower cost risk . My future business ideas will definitely have a Learning Launch tool .

My challenge is to improve the customer experience that people have when they patronize our food business ( partnership that I run with a group of friends ) . Before the COVID-19 outbreak , we had a physical Kitchen where customers could walk in , choose from a list of options from the menu and the food is cooked in a short while . Meals range from local meals to continental . The Kitchen is different from other restaurants , in that , food is made according to each customer βs specification . Sales have been very slow since the pandemic began , primarily because of the restrictions , hence we want customers to sit in the comfort of their homes / offices , and choose specific ingredients they want in their soups / meals and get it delivered in an hour . The goal is to deliver an end - to - end amazing customer experience .
Selection
The team has decided to use the Learning launch tool since this is meant to quickly test the idea to a selected group of customers .

For our learning launch , we focused on the execution of the online orders , particularly , we wanted to see if we could deliver online orders swiftly and within the specified time frame ( our proposed time was one hour ) . This , we believe will help us overcome hurdles of restrictions due to the pandemic and we could win as many customers as possible with the new online kitchen . An app was developed for this purpose in addition to the dedicated social media platforms(with swift response team ) . For the learning launch , we used the social media platforms : A customer reaches out to us via Instagram / whatsapp and receives a response in 3 - 5 seconds . Upon customer βs readiness , a menu list is sent , that allows the him / her to choose the exact delicacy , alongside what they would like to be included ( such as types of meat , vegetable , toppings etc . ) . The customer sends delivery details , confirmation email is sent , and the customer receives the meal in an hour .
A dedicated logistics company was also saddled with the task of ensuring that orders were delivered within specified timeframe . This was conducted within a month .
Insight
Our key takeaways from this exercise was that- a lot of customers value comfort and would be more inclined to a brand / vendor that provides such . We also gathered more data for a valuable customer experience such as : types of meals customers ordered more frequently , locations where orders were frequently delivered and the demography of customers among others . We also learnt that we could further automate the processes as some customers still found it stressful to type delivery details and dish option . How about creating a platform where people could just register and their info is saved , which is used recurrently , except the customer wishes to change address ?
Approach
Having used the learning launch tool , we are now ready to fully launch our app and go fully online . We have realized that people want to get orders delivered to them , get their meals by just tapping their phones and not necessarily going into a physical restaurant . COVID-19 outbreak has changed a lot of things and people have become more digitally inclined .

### Input: Challenge
My challenge is to improve the customer experience that people have when they patronize our food business ( partnership that I run with a group of friends ) . Before the COVID-19 outbreak , we had a physical Kitchen where customers could walk in , choose from a list of options from the menu and the food is cooked in a short while . Meals range from local meals to continental . The Kitchen is different from other restaurants , in that , food is made according to each customer βs specification . Sales have been very slow since the pandemic began , primarily because of the restrictions , hence we want customers to sit in the comfort of their homes / offices , and choose specific ingredients they want in their soups / meals and get it delivered in an hour . The goal is to deliver an end - to - end amazing customer experience .

1.Challanges : The malfunction of network cables in the system room of the financial sector where I work .
The system room of any financial sector is the power house that communicates and passes information to all other individual systems of both operators and relationship managers
2.Selection : Several units came together to discuss on the way forward . The units included the Operator , Business development unit , The branch manager and the IT representative and Telecoms who are the provider of the networks . After several shared ideas using the mapping tool the branch manager cascaded the information to the relevant authority and then every unit played their role .
3.Application : Using the mapping tool several ideas/ images became a reality and was shared and tackled effectively and efficiently with prioritization giving to the each member of team for prompt resolution .
4 . Insight : The insight gained in application of the mapping tool gave rise to different creative design techniques and prompt resolution was achieved . It helped in data collection , patterns and individual ideas collated with collaboration to yield better results . This process helped streamlined from what it was to what it become which is the reality .

Our customers are government agencies dedicated to applying technological innovation to modernize their mission or to provide services to customers who may be American citizens , companies , and non - citizens . I used the technique of visualizing problem areas with blind people , and put forward a series of questions or discussion suggestions , so that different stakeholder groups could learn from each other , and at the same time , understand the scope , boundaries , key elements and the relationship between the elements to consider When identifying weaknesses and areas that need improvement or solutions , the application starts the process by creating a table of problem areas . Trawmann , I will use any available material to understand the environment . Existing materials can be procedures or operating documents , training materials , marketing materials , GAO or other audit reports . When materials are unavailable , I will conduct an informal interview with one of the three stakeholders who are the first point of contact for the program . If necessary , I will borrow the behind - the - scenes / behind - the - scenes concepts from previous research and discuss them in David Gray βs The Connected Company . The behind - the - scenes / behind - the - scenes approach helps reinforce the notion that every service ( including internal services ) has a customer who interacts with the service provider and the internal processes that enable the organization to provide the service . The template I often start to use also has a column on the left to identify partners and suppliers in the value chain , and a column on the right to identify regulatory organizations , such as Congress , GAO , labor unions , advocacy groups , etc . How the organization works . The scarecrow is very simple , using simple shapes and icons provided in Visio or the Web . When the current view / back view does not work , I will create different types of rendering based on the swim lanes of different stakeholders or the advanced process flow of different formats . For this event , I will divide the stakeholders into groups of 56 participants , each group representing a different organization or area of interest . Each group will receive a poster - sized copy of the scarecrow . You can write directly or use sticky notes to comment . I will give you two or three questions that need to be answered , such as : 1 ) What key elements are missing in the graphics ? 2 ) How would you change the graph to more accurately reflect your problem area ? 3 ) What are your key thoughts on the relationships between entities in the problem space ? I will give you about 20 minutes to discuss the topic and mark the timetable . Then I asked each group to point out their answers to these three questions by pointing to the marks on their posters . When each group reports , I write down the similarities of each group 's views , and then write down the other ideas in the group discussion on the attached copy of the chart . Use the poster as an artifact , create a view that combines general ideas and new ideas from the group discussion , and then create a revised diagram that contains the comments and suggested changes that you agree with as a group . Perspectives and methods In this multi - group exercise , I learned that although there is a chart , especially a revised chart , to include your feedback , it is important to strengthen your understanding of the problem you are dealing with . This is the most valuable aspect of the activity . However , it is : shared knowledge and collaborative learning that occurs as you work to define the problem
space . The graph provides discussion points for different stakeholder groups so that they can share their views and gain insight into possible causes of problems . Although they can help create diagrams from blank boards , starting a conversation by jumping off the scarecrow is a start for them . You can quickly see where they are on the chart or where they are missing , and you can quickly gain new insights into the relationships between key objects without having to spend time identifying them . They can also identify variables in the problem space , that is , help them determine what they do nβt know , and in which areas they need to obtain information or data in order to provide the value of the variable . Since I find knowledge sharing and learning the most valuable , I will use visualization next time .

As the cafeteria food was not healthy / tasty enough , the students used to skip meals or eat junk food more often . We all knew the problem was with the food preparation and eradicating the problem is the only solution . Provide the fresh vegetables and things will improve but , implementing this , down the line , more than 1000 + lives were impacted emotionally , mentally and economically . Selection Storytelling is one tool , which helps you to connect with people from different backgrounds easily and effectively , but integrating this tool with visualization can do wonders . We interacted with students to know more about the issue and told the students stories to the cafeteria people to them to coordinate and improve the overall condition . Cafeteria helped us with more information and major concern was the good quality vegetable v / s the vegetable price . We had to find a way to buy good quality vegetables at relatively lower cost . We did the groundwork and connected with the local farmers . We helped them visualize the benefits that they can reave from this partnership . The storytelling plays an important role here , as the farmers do not trust anyone easily . We told them stories of other families that got positively impacted because of similar initiatives in order to gain trust . Application Normally , farmers sell their vegetables to a middle men ( broker ) which further sell them to final buyers . The model proposed focus on eliminating the middleman and directly linking the producer and the consumer . Small set of farmers were identified and on on - demand basis the vegetables were being transferred to the college cafeteria . In order to maintain a long term relationship with the farmers , we had counselling sessions with them , in which we asked them about day to day struggles / difficulties . At the beginning , they were reluctant to share their side of the story until we helped them visualize , the problem of the students they are helping to deal with , stories about similar families that we had positively impacted earlier . It really helped gaining their confidence by providing them their comfort zone . We discovered that how apart from financial crisis , they experience from emotional and mental crisis as well . Due to hard financial conditions , they did nβt have electricity at their place , their children do not go to school and mainly they were very much dependent on day to day earnings . We started thinking to resolve their issues for the overall productivity thus impacting bigger audience .
Insight & Approach As mentioned , apart from students ' health , there are multiple parties involved now to be taken care of . Starting from students health , cafeteria expenses , farmers trust , farmers family condition and the transportation . We started with elimination of the middle , which benefited both the producer as well as consumer . Thus resulting in a win - win situation . The students health improved over a period of a few weeks as now healthy food was being served at the cafeteria . As a good gesture , college students agreed to teach farmers children , who were not able to afford school . The transportation model was being introduced , which generated another set of employment for Auto / rickshaws . This model was first tested in our college and then same ideology was being passed on to nearby colleges as well . In parallel to this , we had a discussion with the industrialised as well , to finance this project , to provide solar lamps to the farmers . This indeed built a self sustaining business model for the farmers as well as the college cafeteria which helped them in mental , emotional and economical way . We started with improving college student health issues and unknowingly explored much more bigger picture and impacted a lot of lives on the way . It βs not just one approach , at times the approaches are a piece of the puzzle , a bigger picture . One should always try to think out of the box and try different combinations as I have tried to do in the above mentioned example . This is one of the projects which I did during college days . Currently I am a Software Developer and seeking for a manager position now . This course has really helped me providing an new insight / or perspective to look at the things . Really grateful to have this .

In my organization , I work within IT helping tie together IT strategy with Business strategy to deliver results . I am often challenged with the role of β translator β by making clear to sales associates what capabilities are offered on an IT side and making business goals clear to more technical IT resources that are charged with delivering technical solutions .
In a recent example that occurred while I was taking this course , we were tasked with reimagining what some of our financial reporting could look like . The challenge was to allow business to clearly articulate the problem while also working within the constraints of what is possible while also showing what is additionally available outside of standard table like reporting that has historically been done at our company in this space .
Selection
For this particular problem we chose Visualization . While we used multiple tools throughout the process , I feel the most helpful tool was visualization . We chose this because from the start we could work with our business stakeholders to document user journeys . It was important for us to visualize form the beginning what kinds of users were going to be using this financial dashboard and what were their expected results .
Application
We started by mapping a flow chart that visualized multiple user types accessing the same legacy financial chart , exporting it to excel , and performing their own individual analysis to get their own value out of the data . Through this journey mapping visualization tool , we were able to visually map out each of these journeys showing what each user type needed from the dashboard .
From here , we were able to draw some mock reports around what it could look like to provide users the answers to the questions they were asking on the first page of the dashboard rather than having them do additionally analytics on their own .
Insight
Through this process we have realized that visualization is a key tool to have in our toolset . Additionally , we βve quickly realized ( as also pointed out in the videos ) that visualization is key not only at the start of the design thinking process , but throughout the entire process . At each step along the way , visualization truly helped communication and get the point across that we were trying to accomplish .
Approach
In my opinion , the visualization approach was the key to our success , but I think other tools could have also been used to reach similar outcomes . One specifically that would work well in this situation would be storytelling . In my role , it is important to play the β translator β role between technical IT resources and strategic focused business resources . In many cases , the begin the design thinking process , it takes a storytelling approach to layout problems in clear stories that are easy to understand by all stakeholders .

It was important for us to visualize form the beginning what kinds of users were going to be using this financial dashboard and what were their expected results .
Application
We started by mapping a flow chart that visualized multiple user types accessing the same legacy financial chart , exporting it to excel , and performing their own individual analysis to get their own value out of the data . Through this journey mapping visualization tool , we were able to visually map out each of these journeys showing what each user type needed from the dashboard .
From here , we were able to draw some mock reports around what it could look like to provide users the answers to the questions they were asking on the first page of the dashboard rather than having them do additionally analytics on their own .
Insight
Through this process we have realized that visualization is a key tool to have in our toolset . Additionally , we βve quickly realized ( as also pointed out in the videos ) that visualization is key not only at the start of the design thinking process , but throughout the entire process . At each step along the way , visualization truly helped communication and get the point across that we were trying to accomplish .
Approach
In my opinion , the visualization approach was the key to our success , but I think other tools could have also been used to reach similar outcomes . One specifically that would work well in this situation would be storytelling . In my role , it is important to play the β translator β role between technical IT resources and strategic focused business resources . In many cases , the begin the design thinking process , it takes a storytelling approach to layout problems in clear stories that are easy to understand by all stakeholders .

Challenge & Selection
Visualization is a tool that I started using lately as a project manager in my company βs IT department . As a project manager , one is responsible for making clear to all project members of the tasks at hand and of the responsibilities that each and every member has in order for the project to be completed on time . This is very difficult to be accomplished , especially when projects are complicated and involve many different teams to work together . People involved in such projects need to have a clear understanding of the problem to be solved . Having to deal with too many people and unclear requirements increases the complexity level of a project manager βs work .
Visualization is a core component of the way people communicate . It consciously inserts visual imagery into our work processes and focuses on bringing an idea to life , simplifying team collaboration and ( eventually ) creating stories that go to the heart of how designers cultivate empathy in every phase of their work and use it to generate excitement for new ideas ( Wilson & Wilson , 2011 ) .
Having difficulties in completing projects on time , I thought of trying the visualization approach in order to see if it helps in decreasing the uncertainty and ambiguity that exists in large projects among stakeholders .
Application
A complex project may involve people from different IT departments such as infrastructure , development , support , help desk , security and networking to mention a few . Being the project manager for such a project , I decided to hold a couple of meetings with all the stakeholders to identify the tasks at hand and make clear to everyone involved of the goal of the project . Having understood the goal to be achieved , I held a few more meetings with all the members of the different IT departments involved in order to process the requirements in such a way in order to produce large bodies of work which in turn can be broken down into smaller tasks .
These large bodies of work were then described on sticky notes that were later put on a board in a way to represent the activities of the service and in the order that they occur . Lanes were drawn to represent both the customer and the different departments involved and lines were added to show the interactions between the different activities . The final image was a visualization of all the actions needed for a service to function while incorporating the viewpoints of everyone involved in the project . The final image , once agreed by all members , was transferred and depicted in electronic form and later distributed to all members . A service blueprint was ready .
Insight and Approach
The results from applying the approach of visualization through service blueprinting were such that made me decide to use the approach when I will be involved in complex projects . This β experiment β made me realize that projects are easier understood when everyone involved work collaboratively . In addition , using visualization tools such as service blueprints , all team members share the same understanding of the project and its tasks . Different departments can get to know each other βs responsibilities and challenges and see how they influence each other βs deliverables . They also help in defining areas of investigation and in cutting through different departmental silos .
Of course , practice makes one better in using such tools , in identifying their weaknesses and strengths and I am sure I still have a lot to learn . For example , the first time I used service blueprint , the tasks depicted were at a very high level . Some of the members though would have preferred a more detailed description of the tasks while others would not . It all depends on the people you have to work with and their preferences . In the end though , the high level view of the steps of a project is the same for everyone .
Now if one asks me what I would change in the way I am using the visualization tool of service blueprint , I would say that I would also use it as a reference in order to identify pain points , and when redesign of a service is required as customers β needs change over time . I would also try to use visualization together with agile development in order to visualize the smaller tasks of the bigger picture . Knowing the number of tasks to be delivered , the number of tasks completed and other relevant information , it would be a challenge to see how agile would affect the time to deliver a project as a whole .

Challenge
Since I am an event designer - visualizer , I think the β visualization β tool will be corresponding .
To sell visuals to customers , you need to convey the atmosphere and idea in an
understandable and better visual way .
What are the problems with this ?
1 . Time
2 . Explanation of the technical part . Advantages and disadvantages .
3 . Budget
Selection
It is all about the chain . The chain of the work process and the way it usually goes :
β’ Breaking down RFP ,
β’ Strategy ,
β’ Creative idea ,
β’ Sketching ,
β’ Mood boards ,
β’ Layout ,
β’ 3D modeling ,
β’ Rendering ,
β’ Post β work
1 . Time . In this chain , you can not remove any phase and save
time . Since everything is interconnected with each other . By removing at
least one chain , can disrupt the smooth transition from idea to
the final visualization and lose more time .
The time problem is that assigned to this complete chain .
2 . Technical . We must explain to the client that this beautiful picture will be
executed one - to - one . How ? Technical document . The technical part has its
own chain , and when the client changes something there , the domino
effect is triggered . Not only in the technical part , but in the whole initial
idea . But why a client change something in the technical document or in
the whole chain ? Budget .
3 . For instance , we strengthened the structure with metal supports , and when
the client reduces a budget , we have to reduce the weight of all the
structure and strengthen it with wood instead of metal .
Application
Of course , changing the chain is not an option . But what if you change the whole
chain structure and go another way ? Let βs see on the picture bellow :
Insight & Approach
With the help of questions , I can keep the idea and strategy till the final renders
( visuals ) and reduce time . Since this saves a lot of time , you can return without
changing the entire chain , but just ask the right question .

I work in a team where we build digital products to support business operations in a traditional economic sector . Our company is a infrastructure developer and had most expertise in linear project planning using waterfall methodology . My team of 5 consists of engineers and software developers who are more used to working in an agile and iterative manner with a decentralized decision - making process . The specific challenge I face daily is how might we direct our product development activities more effectively to accommodate the linear planning process at a wider division level where most of the planning are linear and non - iterative .
Selection
I select the mind - mapping tool to address this challenge . Mind - mapping , according to week 3 βs video , is a visual technique for identifying patterns in a complex situation with an aim to arrive at new insights around design criteria that can help drive the design thinking process from what - is to what - if . I picked this tool for 2 reasons : 1 . The mind - map can help chart all the projects and workstreams within the division and give greater clarity to my team on how our work impacts our colleagues β initiatives to help identify values and overlaps ; 2 . The mind - map allows us to understand underserved areas and discover opportunities and set pace for what we should develop and at what speed and scope .
Application
What we did was that I hosted a 1 - hour workshop for my team . I started the session with a high- level nodes and branches on the major initiatives , then my team would spend the next 20 minutes to collaboratively fill - out the mind - map ( I used a free online mind - mapping tool ) , with a focus on the objectives , key results of each of the project we have in the team and how they map to the major initiatives in the division . Then in the following 20 minutes , we discuss the key observations around overlaps and areas of neglect and prioritized our projects . In the last 20 minutes , the team added tasks as the left - nodes on the mind - map over the areas that we collectively prioritized and reviewed the validity of those tasks . The resultant set of tasks were then turned into self - assignments in our workflow management system and scheduled accordingly .
Insight
Doing a collaborative mind - mapping exercise was very helpful in seeing different perspectives from the team . Areas of focus immediately gained clarity and apparent contradictions in certain projects β executions are highlighted . One surprise that I learned was that what the team sees as priority would sometimes collectively deviate from what I viewed as priority from the business perspective . The level of details on tasks also reveal a different understanding on the problems at hand , between division leadership and the team .
Approach
I βd say the mind - mapping exercise was very helpful , although far from ideal as it was practiced . 2 things I would do differently as I run it next time : 1 . A shorter exercise with a more focused objective would help the team not to wander across too many problem and project domains . 2 . Allowing anonymous editing and collaborations would encourage the team to flag issues more freely .

Challenge and Selection .
Within the growth plans in the company where I work , the principal idea for this year is that employees who want to present an idea that can help someone or even themselves , develop it through the methodology of Design Thinking . Although there is no limitation of ideas and there maybe to many , the main objective is to contribute to the paradigm shift of the company and together make it grow .
For this we met with my coworkers and we thought about what process we could improve in our daily tasks and after a lot of discussion we said : β Let βs use the Mind Mapping Tool β to solve our β great problem β , development a validation Tool for internal use . One tool that let us certificate the correct performance of our products and this validation must be done in a few minutes .
Application :
To start , we generated some questions about our daily tasks and most of all these questions were answered immediately and almost did not allow generating a new idea to solve or at least start in the development of the idea . So we decided to forget about our role and we selected the most experienced person to act as a kind of client . The rest of the team began by unlocking the problem that our client presented to us : THERE ARE NO TOOLS TO VALIDATE .
Basically on a board and with the help of some post - it , we start writing verbs about tools , validation , because they do not exist , time . Then we group these verbs and from here the generation of questions that we would ask the most experienced person began .
After conducting the interview , we realized that if there are validation tools , but they take too much time and within each test that must be done there is a different tool , so we concluded that it would be good to have a tool that be done all validation in a single process .
Insight & Approach
All the time we are " designing " things , from the route that we are going to take in the morning to our work , the lunch that we are going to take , the follow - up strategy to carry out my tasks , but rarely we sit down to analyze if things tools that we use on a day - to- day basis are like this because they are objectively designed or if they have an object of study that determines at the time that it was the best implementation to work well .
It is to create the type of thought that promotes the design of thought , where we can realize that it is enough for me or if on the contrary things can be improved or on the contrary generate new tools or alternatives from the use case . Consider that this is the biggest gain that this leather leaves me , the analysis if any situation , tool , maritime situation of my work or daily life , can improve through the renewal of the environment .
On the other hand , consider that in an upcoming analysis situation , you would try to analyze the problem as an external agent . Although in this exercise we knew the tools and their operation and what we want us to improve , I think it would be better if the " problems " were approached from the outside in order to analyze everything from a more exponential point of view and not be carried out for the knowledge you have . ( try to get out of the known situation ) .

The challenge we face as a teacher to open up the brain box of the students and enrich with
them the knowledge to be successful in the future . I select storytelling and mind mapping as an important and essential tool in the day today classes . I work with the young minds , different socio economic background , vulnerable and tender individuals . They are very much sensitive and irresponsible . They need to be empowered taught the values and enrich them with knowledge . Often they are lonely who are staying in the hostel and they will be aken care . They will feel happy and energised if they are taught in the format of telling story . The life experiences practically both professional and personal can help them motivated . 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 they are lacking in the subject .
Application :
I have a story to yu about story telling process regarding the student who is in a distress
condition . The young sensitive and tender girl was feeling tired and anxious in the classes . It was analysed by me for a week . I told a story about a girl and the teacher relationship in the class . After that a student in my class met me in person and want to talk to her personally about the inconveniences she feel . She has a health issues due to which she ca nβt able to concentrate on her studies . After the conversation , she was booked an appointment with the Doctor to treat her condition and as well as her depression . This made her escape from a great disaster in her life .
Insight & Approach :
Well , wow , that was an eye - opener . Her family is also in a distress condition , so she is not
able to present to them . We analysed the situation and immediately her problem was addressed . After that she recovered well , and out of depression and excelled well in the studies also . She really needed individual attention for that brief time , and she ended up with that and a true support . Health and peace reigned again in her mind and family .
So I told the story to the organization , and i think had a big impact on students there . The
policies are being re - evaluated and the caseworkers are going through new training . Sometimes a little story can do a lot .
THIS course made me see this as a tool in a new way . When i βve done it before it was not really as effective as this way .

Challenge of As - Built software documentation
Page 1 of 3 October 27 , 2016
Challenge
The challenge I have accepted is to design a method to record descriptions of how software was
configured to deliver new software functionality . This documentation is often called As - Built documentation : it describes technical changes made to deliver new functionality into a software system . When new software functionality is created , technical support staff benefit from descriptions of what was changed in the software , why it was changed , and which software functions have been changed as a result . Technical support staff benefits from this knowledge by preventing defects in the software and fixing problems when the software is used . This As - Built documentation is also the basis for training new support staff on the latest software features .
Previous attempts to record this information have relied on creating and maintaining word
processing documents : this approach was problematic . These documents might not be completed or contained useless information : either , too few details were in the document or too many screen captures which explained the mechanics of making a change but not the reasoning about how those changes triggered new software functionality . When the As - Built documents were created , they rapidly became obsolete as new changes were made to the software .
Selection
The tool I selected to help with my design challenge is the Mind Mapping tool as this tool seems
to be the best for getting a fresh perspective on the best method to record As - Built information . There is a long history of different strategies used for recording As - Built information . These strategies were developed by technical people making the system changes ; however , the documents did not improve results . The Mind Mapping tool provides a method for capturing new insights and fresh perspectives ; incorporating incomplete information in the design process in a time effective manner .
Participants in the Mind Mapping exercise review the information captured in the β What - Is β
phases of the design thinking steps and record insights they find . I believe the Mind Mapping process allows for incomplete or less than comprehensive amounts of information collected in the β What - Is β steps of design thinking , because participates can contribute insights based on any information they see displayed in the initial review . This provides for a very time economical tool and it is important for my design challenge as I have been given a fixed deadline for completion .
Mind Mapping was also chosen as it is a method which seems to encourage equal participation
from a diverse group of team members . For my challenge , I have chosen a group of individuals who do not support the same software as the As - Built documentation is intended for . This was done to get a fresh perspective of the challenge . The Mind Mapping activity also seems to avoid some team dynamic issues I have often seen when groups work together in a design . Mind Mapping might prevent the β loudest voice in the room β dominating the design process by having participants work independently and then come together as a group to review insights , group them , and create connections between items . It is hoped that everyone contributing will create a very comprehensive review of the challenge .

Challenge of As - Built software documentation
Page 2 of 3 October 27 , 2016
Application
I applied the Mind Mapping tool for this challenge , by leveraging on the data collection work I
performed for this challenge in the first steps of Design Thinking . I collected a large amount of β What - Is β information to form a picture of the processes followed by technical staff when creating As - Built documentation . This β What - Is β research included : screen prints of how the software configuration was changed , examples of documents used to request and process the migration of these changes from development to production landscapes , examples of previous As - Built documents , and many interview notes . An attempt was made to create a Journey Map of the process technical people following when creating the As - Built document : we met with staff to walk through steps they did when documenting changes . This mapping was not completed as participants became frustrated when mapping out the steps . The Mind Mapping exercise however might benefit even from this incomplete Journey Map . Similarly , a short interview was held with managers to document scenarios in which they had encountered issues with As - Built documents . The intention for the Mind Mapping exercise is to display all this β What - Is β research on a wall , complete or incomplete , creating a gallery for Mind Mappers to review and record their insights .
One difficulty in applying the Mind Mapping tool is scheduling my coworkers to participate in
the exercise . I have had to rebook the Mind Mapping sessions , and am booking an extra participant to ensure I have enough people attending .
While preparing for the exercise , I have had some new ideas for possible solutions to my
challenge . This seems to demonstrate the iterative nature of design thinking : going from β What - Is β to β What - If β steps . I have not yet shared these ideas with my Mind Mapping design team , but am keeping a separate list of possible solutions as they are discussed . Once we complete the Mind Map , we will be able to use the insights and associations in the map to help evaluate possible solutions .
When creating the Mind Map , I will start with the center of the mind map having a label titled
β Configuration of As - Built Documentation β . Each participant will then attached a two by four inch card to the page on which is written their insights from their early review of the β What - Is β research . The goal is to build up clusters of like insights , and as we do that , give the cluster a name and connect clusters of insights using logical connections such as : i. ) an action which can become a section of the document : i.e. , β manager approves β ; or ii . ) a principle for documenting As - Built information such as β document why not how to β , β reviews β , β point out configuration items changed β ; or iii . ) preposition indicating ownership such as β possibly with β , β that are β , β require β , β have applications in β , β that enable β , β that supports β , β of β , β through β , β contains β , β naturally have β , β can be removed from β , β contains β , β solves β , β is a solution for β , β customers say : β , and β business development β .

Challenge of As - Built software documentation

Insight
The big insight gained by selecting the Mind Mapping tool is the importance of knowing which
tool to select based on the nature of how the design team or other participants work together . The big challenge of design thinking seems to be to engage participants productively in the design activity .
Getting people to engage in the design activity can be difficult when the challenge touches on
sensitive areas of how people do their work . The initial assumption on this challenge is that everyone intends to create documentation and that it is good documentation . The As - Built documentation is used to capture subject matter expert βs knowledge and then share this knowledge in a common and standard method . Not all subject matter experts might be enthusiastic to align to a standard until they are convinced of the benefits of this and they are often not convinced of these benefits , nor enthusiastic to participate in the design , until they have reviewed the final design of the solution .
To be aware of this mindset has been beneficial when selecting data capturing methods and
tools to pick ones which do not require much effort from the subject matter experts and can be used in a time efficient manner . The Mind Mapping process seems to be a good fit for this .
Approach
An alternative way to apply the Mind Map to this challenge would be to review how people use
technical information provided in documentation vs. the approach I have taken , which looks at the challenge from the perspective of how the documentation is created . This would change the initial β What - Is β process by focusing on collecting examples and stories of when people used technical documentation to solve problems . The Mind Mapping technique could be used to obtain insights into how people then used the documentation and from this surface the design criteria on what to capture this As - Built information .
The collection of β What - Is β information from this perspective might be based on outputs from
different tools . The initial create of technical documentation is more of a structured process : i.e. , determining which technical changes have been done and then building documentation to describe that build and the expected new functionality coming from it . Later , when this documentation is used , the process of applying the knowledge it contains will often be a very different process . A random event might trigger people to look for past technical documentation and its content might be synthesized into a problem solution in a random way . To capture β What - Is β details for random events , a technique of capturing stories or logs of events might be best . Participants can maintain the story log over time , then the Mind Mapping exercise could be used to review logs and extract themes or common threads of events or beneficial information gained from documentation . Mind Mapping would be useful as it seems to provide an opportunity to obtain insights from imperfect information .

Challenge Iβve been chosen to be the project manager for an ongoing struggling project in my organization . The objective was about implementing a solution which shall serve diverse groups of business users from different departments ( Marketing , Commercial , Customer happiness , publishing services , etc ... ) in the organization . All stakeholders were relying on this project to help them to manage their services and activities throughout this solution . I realized the previous team did nβt listen carefully to the users neither show empathy with the real needs , they have just decided that a CRM ( Customers Relationship Management ) system will solve their problems . Selection I have selected the storytelling tool - not to be innovative - but to find a proper solution to the real problems encountering by the users on daily basis . Prior to the implementation , identifying the real scope was my main concern on the first place , then the right solution will come accordingly . Selecting the storytelling tool was the most appropriate tool to show the users a similar story / user journey which can really touch their pains and encourage them to engage and discuss the solution opportunities . Application I have started inviting several vendors to propose their solutions , I have also worked closely with them to prepare the presentations in the way of storytelling characteristics ; having followed a very clear events in every scenario , avoided any technical term to sympathize with the business user backgrounds and keep them on track with the proposed solution . I ensured having questions which liaison to the user real problems , to get more attention and engagement , followed by a satisfied answers and solutions . I have invited the business users , and this time we did nβt call it presentation or meeting , I β ve called it β Workshop β , so users can feel that they are part of figuring out the right solution not taking the decisions on behalf of them . After the workshops , we ended up with a new scope which is more realistic and figured out that the CRM is not the right solution to cover all problems . So we have divided the original scope to be three scopes . And we have descope the first project and established two more initiatives to include the other two new scopes . The idea of applying the storytelling tool worked in an effective way . Both satisfaction and enthusiasm by the attendees were perceived throughout communications and collaborations during and after the workshops .
Insights I have learned that users are way simpler what presenters believe . Proposing a solution or an idea in a story way by using simple words sequence will be more effective than using the technical jargons . Storytelling will bring relief to users and they will be more encouraged to interact with the proposed solution and share their knowledge and ideas . Approach I hope by next time , will be having more time to apply the visualization tool by creating different prototypes so we can get more clarity to the solution for end users . Selecting the storytelling tool was a good idea for this case . I will be pushing the design thinking approach in my organization and trying to apply it on all projects ; hopefully the management will give me time to do so .

Challenge & Selection The challenge is to keep a small ecotourist resort on a 30,000 acre of private reserve , at the top - of - mind while the entire world is on lockdown from COVID-19 so that when they are free to travel again , this will be their first destination . This boutique resort boasts an extraordinary population of rare tropical birds and elusive wildlife living the pristine rain forest ; animals like the jaguar , ocelot or panther . The rooms are standalone cabaΓ±as where guests can sit on wrap - around verandas and look for birds without walking more than a few feet . The lodge is run by staff who has lived on the property their entire lives and the rain forest is as familiar to them as our drive to work is for us . Application To accomplish this goal , I will opt to use Storytelling ( Module 2 ) to engage past guests to learn about their experiences at the lodge . I will interview several groups to guests , broken down into the regions they are from , age brackets , those who are repeat guests , those who bring family , and those who are avid naturalists . Each will be asked to tell their story of visiting Chan Chich Lodge . They βll be asked how they found it , what they enjoyed about their visit , and what special memories they came away with . Insight & Approach These insights will help develop a story of the adventure of visiting this remote lodge and build a scenario through storytelling that brings each of them , and potential guests , into our narrative . This will engage them through a well written story that β connects to the emotions , the characters and the values of the people that live the product every day . β1 In the first few interviews our past guests have told stories of how much fun they had tracking the jaguar . As a result , we have purchased several camera traps and we are now posting sightings on social media telling everyone what species were seen , when and where . Everything we post is about what we are doing and what is waiting for our guests when they return . One interviewee spoke about an agricultural tour they took of the farm connected with the lodge , to see the vegetable gardens and coffee plants .

### Input: Storytelling_Ecotourist Resort
Challenge & Selection The challenge is to keep a small ecotourist resort on a 30,000 acre of private reserve , at the top - of - mind while the entire world is on lockdown from COVID-19 so that when they are free to travel again , this will be their first destination . This boutique resort boasts an extraordinary population of rare tropical birds and elusive wildlife living the pristine rain forest ; animals like the jaguar , ocelot or panther . The rooms are standalone cabaΓ±as where guests can sit on wrap - around verandas and look for birds without walking more than a few feet . The lodge is run by staff who has lived on the property their entire lives and the rain forest is as familiar to them as our drive to work is for us . Application To accomplish this goal , I will opt to use Storytelling ( Module 2 ) to engage past guests to learn about their experiences at the lodge . I will interview several groups to guests , broken down into the regions they are from , age brackets , those who are repeat guests , those who bring family , and those who are avid naturalists . Each will be asked to tell their story of visiting Chan Chich Lodge . They βll be asked how they found it , what they enjoyed about their visit , and what special memories they came away with . Insight & Approach These insights will help develop a story of the adventure of visiting this remote lodge and build a scenario through storytelling that brings each of them , and potential guests , into our narrative . This will engage them through a well written story that β connects to the emotions , the characters and the values of the people that live the product every day . β1 In the first few interviews our past guests have told stories of how much fun they had tracking the jaguar . As a result , we have purchased several camera traps and we are now posting sightings on social media telling everyone what species were seen , when and where . Everything we post is about what we are doing and what is waiting for our guests when they return . One interviewee spoke about an agricultural tour they took of the farm connected with the lodge , to see the vegetable gardens and coffee plants . This experience engaged them in the Farm - to - table culinary style used by the kitchen . This made them feel like our intent and their experience was genuine . We are now preparing posts of the vegetables in bloom and recipes the chef is developing . All this , using the storytelling tool will assist us to find out what the consumer wants from the ecolodge and what we can do to keep the narrative alive until they can be a part of it again . Once the interviews are complete , I will know more about its efficacy and possibly structure future questions for the story differently . At present , we have past guests β experiences to rely on for our content .
