Challenge & Selection The problem that my startup is trying to solve – consulting services are too expansive for most of small companies . They can not afford consulting , which often leads to poor business results . Our aim is to provide them with the same quality but 4 - 5 times cheaper . And the main problem here is to find new solutions fast and explain them to the whole team in a fast and comprehensive manner . Application Visualisation was the first part of my work on my project . Visual Thinking is definitely a very useful tool if you want your colleagues to understand complex ideas fast . It became much easier to explain the full picture without loosing details when I started using Visualisation . It gave us much more clear understanding of our customers ’ needs and how we can meet them . We provide consulting services to our client , but we are not a consulting boutique , we enable high level freelancers to sell their services through our platform . Visualisation makes it faster to show how we can satisfy both parties : companies and experts . It also became much easier and faster to explain all the possible options and find the new ones collectively . Using this tool you always have the full picture in your mind and do not waste time and other resources moving in wrong direction . Insight & Approach The main thing I have learned from using Visualisation is probably that most of the people rely mostly on visual information and you always need to support them with illustrations and clear written plans about your models and goals . I could not even imagine that this tool will allow my team to save about 2 hours per week .

Challenge and Selection
The art of storytelling is something that has always intrigued me . I finished my Bachelor ’s in Engineering in May 2018 and was placed into one of India ’s reputed automobile companies through Campus Recruitment . The company provides a year ’s training about the businesses and the verticals within , for us to have a clearer understanding and ownership of the processes in place so as to make the transition from campus to corporate smoother . The training started in August . We were a batch of 120 new recruits of which I knew not even a single member personally . The situation was challenging as it was tough for me to gel into an atmosphere of total unknowingness . This is when , in a quest to get to know them better , I started sharing my life stories and also heard theirs . This allowed me to compare and contrast the ways through which each one of us had to tread to reach the same place . Individual sharing of stories is a long process to know each one of them , but the same is also of paramount importance as networking proves to be one of the prime factors ascertaining the levels to which you grow in an organization . This was when a challenge was put forward , which I would better phrase as an opportunity . There was going to be an internal election for the selection of a group leader who would facilitate the flow of information from the senior management to the trainees . Without personally knowing more than 80 % of the voters , it was ought to be tough to convince them to vote for you , especially considering that there were a few colleges from where the company had hired in huge numbers , and that the most popular members from their colleges were also competing candidates .
Application
On such a stage , each of my competitors had a horde of achievements , participations and voluntary activities to their name compared to my meagre few . It was clear to me that something different had to be done in order to stand apart . This was also when I had enrolled in the design thinking course and had already underwent some of the modules . Storytelling was one of the better tools that I found dear and effective and felt would be the right fit for the job at hand . I would like to share a story of the story that I presented that particular day .
Among the 10 candidates who were willing to contest , the 9 of them had delivered powerful bulldozing achievements of theirs which only made the audience feel smaller . It was my turn to speak before the polling would be open . I opened by saying that I have not much experience when it comes to managing events or delegating things . Then I went on to share a small part of my life ’s journey . I had just completed my 10th and was awarded by the Governor of Maharashtra for being the boards ’ topper of the entire Western Zone in the examination conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education , India . There was a lot of praise and appreciation flowing in from all sides and talks about how big I would make it in the coming days . That was also when the friendship between a real close female friend of mine and me was blossoming into newer and higher avenues . All seemed rosy and pitch perfect when one day she became the victim of a car crash . She died . It left me shaken . My grandfather was who I was the next closest to and I ’d sit by his side , hoping , that just maybe , maybe it was all a nightmare and I ’ll wake up soon . That was when my grandfather , who was among the fittest guys in the neighbourhood , had a kidney failure . The entire household was in a state of panic . We had to arrange for amounts of money that we never before had seen in our lifetimes . It is sometimes said that when God gives , he gives aplenty . When he takes , he takes more than what you can withstand .
For a guy who was the zonal topper , now I had FAILED in two of my subjects in my 11th grade . I felt the world coming crashing on to me . My grandfather finally made it out unharmed . But all of this had left me and my family financially and emotionally drained . This was when I decided it was time to take the plunge . To give it all I can to make things alright again . In spite of all the turbulence inside my head , I made it a point to slog in the hours . I would sit and stare at my books regardless of what went inside . I wrote the exams and I failed . This gave rise to further anger and frustration and I tried my best to channel it into useful effort . I decided to not give up . As months passed , the emotional agony alleviated and I started gaining stable ground . I studied like a madman and wanted to prove to myself that it is me who decides my fate and not the circumstances . Fast forward to my exams , I did reasonably well in my boards and aced the entrances to finally get into one of the premier institutions of the country .
Insight and Approach
I followed up the story saying that I ca n’t say if I would be the best bet to be a leader . What I did assure was that no matter what weight of expectation or responsibility I am bestowed with , I ’ll make sure to not give up . I believed that each one among the 120 had the capability to lead and that the best I could do would be to just be a representative , a voice of the 120 who would hold each voice equally important .
What I had observed through the course of life that this course could clearly convey is that humans are creatures of emotions more so than logic . The way towards connecting with another human being is empathy , which can be best generated through story telling . Each human being has at least once gone through a bad phase and a similar experience being narrated by another gets them feel connected much quicker .
I ended my speech and we had the voting and I eventually was selected . More importantly , after the elections , a lot of people came up to me to know about my story and also to share a part of theirs . This was , I have made more friends in a few days than I could have through the year . Sometimes , a simple true story can do a lot to bring the otherwise unapproachable people together .
This course has really helped me reinforce the belief of the importance of storytelling as a design tool . Now I can prepare ahead and also think of stories that I could tell designed according to the audience , which would be great deal in expressing my ideas more clearly whilst also generating empathy .

1 . Challenge
As a project manager , I often have the task of organizing and leading workshops . This is always one of my favourite parts of the job . However , in the past they all seemed to follow the same blueprint and especially at the end , they often resulted in excel lists or word documents being filled out without much creativity .
2 . Selection
When I first heard of visualization as a tool , I was quite sceptical , especially since I work in a technical field with lots of engineers . Normally those kinds of people are not that creative or visual . However , I saw great potential in enriching not just the workshops themselves but especially the results which get created .
3 . Application
For my first workshop for which I used visualization , I used it in several different ways . First , I enriched all accompanying materials ( such as flipcharts ) with visual illustrations to enrich the whole experience . And one effect was to signal the participants the amount of preparation that went into that workshop .
However , the main application was during the workshop when I asked the participants to illustrate their ideas and findings using visualization on a flipchart . This was a huge success , since it helped them to think of additional aspects and not just the main points they usually focus on . And it also facilitated the discussion with the other participants .
4 . Insight
My main insight was , that using visualization really works . I helps participants to present their ideas more clearly and therefore facilitates discussions .
Additionally , it ’s not as difficult to use as I feared . There is a surprisingly small set of tools which are needed ( stick figures , boxes , arrows etc . ) which allow a wide range of visualizations .
And it ’s more accepted than I feared . Even experienced engineers which have never used it are able and willing to try it after a brief introduction .
5 . Approach
Since visualisation worked so well for me on the first workshop I tried , I now use it regularly with great success . I ’m now even planning on taking an external course to learn even more techniques I can apply on a regular basis .

Story Telling Reflection , 5 - 10 paragraphs , pdf
Challenge : Describe your challenge , including all relevant information . The challenge is how to schedule meetings across multiple time zones and make each meeting unique and productive . The meetings take place in 2020 - 2021 with Zoom and similar technologies due to the pandemic . The majority of the meetings are attended by the same group of people each of whom takes on different roles in our startup company with 20 employees . 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 ) . Of the four design thinking tools presented in the course , I chose to reflect on storytelling . I ’ll share a story below to illustrate why I selected it . The first time I handed in a paper during my first year in college , my English professor handed back my paper and said , “ it ’s not good enough to grade . ” With a sense of nervousness , I walked back to my dorm room and sat down for 30 minutes in order to begin rewriting the paper . I changed a few words , and I added a couple of sentences and I was certain this would suffice . Again , my English professor said , “ it ’s not good enough to grade . ” My nervousness turned to panic . This time I worked on the paper for a few days . I read it from top to bottom and I started to see errors typical for freshman writers : run - on sentences , spelling , and vague comma references . After working “ so hard , ” I tentatively turned in my paper . My professor let me know that she would grade it . A few days later , she returned the paper with a big red ink C largely written on top of the paper . The lesson I learned is that writing is re - writing and re - writing is writing . The reason I chose storytelling is because it is a tool that allows us to accumulate massive amounts of information and put it into a distilled and memorable narrative for ourselves and others . Life lessons often come from whole units such as storytelling rather than discrete units from formulas . Our brains require that we tell stories that include characters and the plot , and importantly that we know our audience . We tell our colleagues one story and our boss another even when the facts of the story are the same . We emphasize and de - emphasize for effect and to enhance and protect our reputations . 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 ) . How can the mundane task of scheduling meetings possibly be rendered into storytelling ? Our biotech company aims to change the future of healthcare diagnostics . Current diagnostics are either accurate and slow or fast and inaccurate ( what is ? ) . What if we could do both and make diagnostics both fast and accurate ? We validate our technology to determine the intersection
of our capabilities with the needs of the end users ( what wows ? ) before we use that information to produce devices ( what works ? ) . The underlying theme of our company is changing the world , so we developed the idea to connect daily meetings with this change . We schedule the change we want to bring about in the world . By finding a theme ( scheduling change ) and connecting it to characters ( employees ) , the plot or the main events of making , and selling our products , meetings are given a purpose because they connect our desire to change the world of medical diagnostics . 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 definition of insight is to gain a “ deep intuitive understanding ” of a phenomenon . For us , a clearer definition is breaking down the word into its syllables : in - sight . We see in places in which previously there was dark . The dark in this story is how the fog of multiple Zoom meetings bog people down by the repetitiveness of logging on to hourly calls or the petty habits of colleagues . As our focus shifted to the distractions of the calls , we began to sense we were losing our way , so we had to reset ourselves and ask , “ why do we have calls in the first place ? ” The obvious answers need to be re - thought sometimes . After various one - on - one offline conversations , a consensus emerged that we needed to look again of our mission of change . We were excited when we developed our mission and that led us to realize why we have meetings . We are in the business of scheduling the change we want to see in the world . Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why . Storytelling is a tool that worked for this problem , but I think in the future we can use other tools . For example , we could ask “ what is , ” what if , ” what wows , ” and “ what works ” and use visualization , mind mapping , or learning launch . The type of problem might help us choose . Visualization is used often with paper and pen and CAD design tools to visualize the next best designs . Mind mapping can be applied to gathering information from our customers and end- users ( two distinct groups ) . Learning Launch can help us experiment quickly when we want to choose the best interaction interface for our products .

The underlying theme of our company is changing the world , so we developed the idea to connect daily meetings with this change . We schedule the change we want to bring about in the world . By finding a theme ( scheduling change ) and connecting it to characters ( employees ) , the plot or the main events of making , and selling our products , meetings are given a purpose because they connect our desire to change the world of medical diagnostics . 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 definition of insight is to gain a “ deep intuitive understanding ” of a phenomenon . For us , a clearer definition is breaking down the word into its syllables : in - sight . We see in places in which previously there was dark . The dark in this story is how the fog of multiple Zoom meetings bog people down by the repetitiveness of logging on to hourly calls or the petty habits of colleagues . As our focus shifted to the distractions of the calls , we began to sense we were losing our way , so we had to reset ourselves and ask , “ why do we have calls in the first place ? ” The obvious answers need to be re - thought sometimes . After various one - on - one offline conversations , a consensus emerged that we needed to look again of our mission of change . We were excited when we developed our mission and that led us to realize why we have meetings . We are in the business of scheduling the change we want to see in the world . Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why . Storytelling is a tool that worked for this problem , but I think in the future we can use other tools . For example , we could ask “ what is , ” what if , ” what wows , ” and “ what works ” and use visualization , mind mapping , or learning launch . The type of problem might help us choose . Visualization is used often with paper and pen and CAD design tools to visualize the next best designs . Mind mapping can be applied to gathering information from our customers and end- users ( two distinct groups ) . Learning Launch can help us experiment quickly when we want to choose the best interaction interface for our products .

Challenge :
I am part of a back office team at a large financial institution issuing electronic payment cards . We are a subsidiary specialized in electronic payment services with a wide range of products / customers across different geographical areas . Among the missions of our entity , the management of orders for card holders for different products , in collaboration with the various stakeholders ( manufacturers of card holders , personalization providers , customer marketing teams , customer communication teams , etc . ) to guarantee an optimized supply in terms of cost / time and to avoid , without a doubt , an out of stock of card holders with our card personalization providers , the eventual occurrence of which will negatively affect the brand image of our institution vis - à - vis -views of its customers . The current replenishment process is , as a whole , done manually . Instead of focusing only on the automation of the process and the issue of stock- outs in a linear way by focusing on the causes taken separately , our challenge is to adopt a " Design thinking " approach to explore the opportunity to put set up an innovative solution to improve customer satisfaction by developing an integrated solution taking into consideration the different needs of stakeholders .
Selection :
To meet this challenge , we used a combination of " Mind Mapping " tools for idea generation to come up with " models " reflecting the unstated needs of different stakeholders . These needs will be the basis , thereafter , to create in collaboration with them the quality criteria of the envisaged solution .
Application :
Together in our team working on the project , we held several preparation meetings , which allowed us to have a clear and unified vision of the project . This vision has been summarized in a design brief which succinctly presents the desired results , particularly in terms of customer satisfaction , the indicators for measuring the results kPIs ( number of stock - outs per period , number of customer complaints , number of account closure due to card stock shortage ) , the various stakeholders involved in the process ( back office managers , the various marketing teams per target market , the communication teams , the personalization service provider / manufacturer ) .
We then prepared a detailed research plan for all stakeholders based on a representative sample of 16 individuals . This research plan must be finalized within 6 months . The first interviews ( 2 months ) aimed to constitute , per interviewee , a visual tree map of the tasks in relation to the ordering process and the various interactions that it has within its entity for the performance of these tasks . The second series of interviews ( 2 months ) was intended to be more projective by asking the interviewees to note the difficulties associated with the task on each branch of the mapping and to project themselves into the solution by proposing an avenue for improvement . Step ( 2 months ) consisted for our project team to note on sticky labels the difficulties / improvements declared by the interviewees and to display them on tables separated by category of stakeholder in order to bring out the corresponding models .
After several consolidation meetings , held internally by our teams , the reconciliation between the results of the statements displayed on the tables and the individual notes taken during the interviews made it possible to distinguish 3 models with the following characteristics :
Model 1 : Back office managers are used to dealing with operations , are drowned in daily operational tasks and hate manual tasks requiring more or less complex calculations and analyzes .
Model 2 : Marketing teams frequently use benchmarks to improve the offer offered to customers by comparing themselves to competitors .
Model 3 : personalization providers / manufacturers are forced to seek the right balance between the satisfactions of order books on time and to optimize the financial investments induced by the constitution of stock of cardholders on behalf of their customers .
Insight and Approach
Through this exercise , I learned that within the framework of the “ what is ” phase of the “ Design thinking ” process , one should not restrict the field of study by trying to prove that a given idea is the best possible solution . ( like the automation of the process in our case ) but rather to widen the field thus making it possible to explore all the possible avenues of innovation ( by studying the underlying needs of the various stakeholders of the support ordering process Cards ) . The " Mind Mapping " tool allowed us to go beyond the stated difficulties to propose design criteria meeting the needs of each stakeholder :
For model 1 , the solution to be considered should be easy to use with automatic alerts and can be oriented towards artificial intelligence to automatically calculate the autonomy of the stock , the quantities to order based on the daily production of each product card .
For model 2 : the solution could provide a library of card visuals with history of development and for the products of our customers and why not of competitors .
For model 3 : the solution could make it possible to forecast production forecasts for each product / customer over different horizons ( ranging from 3 months to a year )
A Lean Prototyping approach with a minimum of investment would , in my opinion , be a better continuity , to quickly test whether the areas of improvement explored can be translated into functionalities ( EX : allow the Back office manager to order , simply and at the right moment , the optimal quantities for the replenishment of card holders ) of a digital solution able to meet our challenge and confirm our hypothesis .

Challenge
I work for a marketing consultant firm whose client is a Gym and wellness center in Guatemala City , due to current pandemic quarantine , government closed all business premises to protect population from COVID 19 infections . Therefore , this gym and wellness center needs to find a way to continue in business , generating revenue from customers and continue their purpose to let customer stay fit and be healthy . Given the current situation is more challenging to achieve both goals , to continue business and let customers live a healthy life and relieve their stress at the same time form home without visiting gym premises ? Selection
Our team had been brainstorming and given the urgency for this emergency , we decided to act ASAP , as soon as possible , and use Learning Launch tool , to try with real customers and new business idea and continue Gym and Wellness services remotely for customer to stay at home and continue their daily routines .
The main hypothesis was that if we could deliver same health benefits remotely to customers , we could continue revenues and business life with an innovating business model and finding a new way to deliver value to our current customers .
Better yet , to grow in this new experience , increased revenues and yearly subscriptions to gain new customers , the actual business could have a fighting and surviving chance in this new normal life .
Application
The main idea is to translocate gym machines and health benefits from actual premises to users at their homes . The problem is that it has never been done before and we needed to learn this new way to conduct business and fine tune success details , to learn What Works .
Therefore , we selected 20 customers that were interested in new remote service , and we offer to deliver an exercise machinery to their homes , they could select form treadmills , stationary bikes or climbers . This subscription service included daily routines in live exclusive internet sessions with live instructors , professional nutritionist and social connection through group challenges and follow up , even one to one professional advice via internet .
We wanted to learn what wows and what works to fine tune service and details , before we launched officially subscriptions to reach new customers and try new business model to increase revenues .
Insight and Approach
We monitored outcomes and tested our assumptions with real customers , asking daily questions during first month . We asked and measured results with instructors and customers to find out which techniques and services worked best than others , and what challenges customer faced during home lock down that made working out a bad experienced .
We asked about home available space for workout , internet speed connections , and better time schedule , duration of virtual classes , food routines , and family members that benefited from these new services .
Now the challenge for this gym and wellness center is to provide a real healthy experience and motivate remote customers to stay in these programs . With all the gathered information form this survey and Learning Launch tool mechanism , I´m sure that this interruption of normal business operations could p emerge anew business opportunity that could´ve been impossible to think before this lockdown situation .
This is an ongoing process at this moment , but we hope this will work out for success .
I conclusion , design thinking process and tools is a determinant aspect in this ongoing experiment and investigation ; a helpful aspect that conducted manager and teams members from this company to find new way to deliver value to customer and continue business growth through this uncertain times .
The information and customer insights will be priceless to assure the renewed business model success .

But our problem was that there were already lots of restaurants / bar in the town , so we gave up at first and wanted to start something else . But then we couldn`t stop thinking about our plan .
Selection : We , then decided to do some changes of our plan . So we decided to use the visualization tool . Because we thought that drawing and adding some pictures and making some maps while discussing new ideas would be really great and we could have come with some new inventions .
Application : We went all over the town to visit the most attracted restaurants / bar and what they have so special that they are having lots of customers . We took lots of photos so we don`t forget about any detail . We finally remade maps of our final plan . We noticed that what most restaurants are giving customers is comfortable space first of all , customers do love to chat with their friends , family , colleagues etc . So we decided to make our space more comfortable . Then we selected happy and sarcastic minded staffs . Who could satisfy a
customer by saying intelligent and funny things as well as serving . Most restaurants have menus for selecting their preferences . But we wanted to attract people so we added up 2/3 photos with each dish and made it more visibly appetitive . We decided to decorate our place with lots of natural pieces . We bought some beautiful birds , we added lots of flowers and added the most attractive point as the fountain . The fountain was of a simple design but we really thought that it could give the place a better visual and it could attract many people because nowadays everyone is searching for a peaceful place . We finally made lots of posters with our place`s details and pictures and other information .
Insight & Approach : When we finally got everything set up , we were amazed by the outcome we`ve got . The restaurant was more than attractive . Everyone started to talk about it even in the socials . Workaholic people loved the place the most , because they thought it was a real mind - fresher . Parents started to show up with their kids because the kids loved to play with birds and it was all really satisfying . In just a few days the whole town was talking about our restaurant and we made a big step ahead just by doing up some basic changes .

Challenge
In this case , challenge is the opportunity to improve the flow analysis for new investments , to achieve faster introductions of technologies , improve efficiency and cost reductions . Currently , the steps related of analysis and staff approval requires a lot of time , being a bottleneck in the whole process – causing employee stress , project schedule delays and benefits postponed .
Currently , the process takes between 5 to 8 months – analysis and decision - making . In this period , many conditions could change and benefits are lost . It represents 50 to 60 % of total flow , even considered these investments development and installation .
Selection
Tool selected was Visualization , to show for all stakeholders what is the current analysis flow and the main relationship between steps . How important is the tasks , what is the earned value in each step and how we can reduce the flow and optimize the staff jobs – improving communication , avoiding reworks , losses and stress . In fact , is not clear for the team members how much time it takes and if all steps are really needed , because the flow was designed a long time ago .
The main goal using this tool is to develop a unique understanding of the flow and find the opportunities to improve efficiency , achieving a sense of agreement .
Application
First step of the process was to create a diagram flow with icons and geometric forms , connecting them with lines and arrows . To develop the diagram , I started from one important investment known by the all members of the team , making an easy example to catch evidences and inputs from involved persons in the process . It was performed individual interviews to catch all relevant information for each step of the process .
The next step of application , will be put together the team members related , as input ( 1st ) , step ( 2nd ) and output / next step ( 3rd ) . This diagram will provide a common understanding of the flow and allow the team to analyze what is the wastes and opportunities in their jobs .
Insight
Until now , I understand how important is to set a tool to conduct the analysis and how much the team and myself had learned so far . We have made a common sense of the problem for all of us , and just with an individual analysis with each member of the team , we identify an opportunity of 30 % reduction in the current lead time of the process flow – just through improving own wastes , in steps of our jobs . Will be easier to evaluate the wastes and opportunities when the team known the relationship between each step and who is the person directly involved , because of that I believe visualization was the right tool selected .
Approach
In continuous this initiative , as suggested from team members , we will use one additional tool – learning launch . After completed the visualization tool step – identifying wastes and opportunities – will be set another process flow and submitted for a practice test , with all ideas generated so far for validation .
Next time I will use visualization tool through a workshop to allow that information spread for the team directly in first contact with the main problem .

We have made a common sense of the problem for all of us , and just with an individual analysis with each member of the team , we identify an opportunity of 30 % reduction in the current lead time of the process flow – just through improving own wastes , in steps of our jobs . Will be easier to evaluate the wastes and opportunities when the team known the relationship between each step and who is the person directly involved , because of that I believe visualization was the right tool selected .
Approach
In continuous this initiative , as suggested from team members , we will use one additional tool – learning launch . After completed the visualization tool step – identifying wastes and opportunities – will be set another process flow and submitted for a practice test , with all ideas generated so far for validation .
Next time I will use visualization tool through a workshop to allow that information spread for the team directly in first contact with the main problem .

1 . Challenge : Describe your challenge , including all relevant information .
I work as a strategic mentor for the physiotherapist center . During the Lockdown for COVID 19 , patients were not able to physically come and be attended . Many of them had back pain and other body pain due to an over immobility . On the other hand , the physiotherapist center did not offer online service at the moment and had to maintain the sales in order to pay the rent . The project scope included the CEO of the center , patients insights , Marketing department ( 5 persons ) . We started to look for physiotherapist tools and applications in order to send routine videos to each patient but those solutions were not very user friendly and the set up of the application for each patient would have taken several weeks . The Budget was limited and we had to find a solution in a few days . Some patients had already shared their worries and fears about their needs . They wanted a personalized routine made by the physiotherapist and they did n’t want a generic video from Youtube . The challenge was clearly to keep giving a one to one service to the patient as soon as possible .
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 ) .
As we did not have time , we decided to choose the “ learning launch tool ” because we had some hypotheses which came from the patients ' needs , we also had assumptions and the value creation was clear . I decided to prioritize according to the most important need which is to help the patient keep moving their body avoiding back pain which is the main demand in this physiotherapist center .
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 ) .
Our learning launch , we focused on the tools / content that we would use to send to patients . It had to be a content easy / fast to create and personalized for each patient . The Physiotherapist College was offering for free to its physiotherapist members a huge database of images showing exercises for a part of the body . This Database of image was ready to use ( copy paste in a word document ) so the fisioterapista could start in less than one day . As a test we sent to 5 patients a sheet with an average of 8 personalized body exercise routines according to the patient 's pain .
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 ) .
Patients were so grateful They felt listened to , and cared . Even if the routine was not a nice video routine , they were happy to receive it quickly and personalized the routine with some images After this test we decided to create a new paid service for the center . For each online consultation the team was able to send very quickly a solution , a routine and maintain the consultation price at the same level of presencial consultation .
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 .
This tool is absolutely perfect to test new services , new ideas without taking risks . It ’s possible with almost NO budget . We can see results very quickly . Next time I would make the same process and use this same tool which is for me the one which is aligned to this “ innovation mindset ” that we need nowadays . I ’ll definitely keep using this tool , keep listening to the patient ’s needs and when a need is not covered , ask the physiotherapist team : how we can give them a solution in the next 24h .

Reflection – Learning Launch
Challenge
Hello Thinkers ! I ’m a member of my organization ’s identification operations
department and our challenge is to improve our flow of production processes in
order to have greater use and yield for delivery to the customer .
Our production format has a series of procedures , where we operate with a
division of activities on a rotating basis , with approximately three operators .
The work is limited , we must create a solution to increase our production quantity
until a specific time , after the end of the priority we have already planned for
tomorrow in the best possible way .
Selection
Our team has undergone several changes using some design thinking tools . We
are open to developing a more agile and effective delivery for both ourselves and
the customer . In general terms , the launch of learning is something prepared for
us to prepare ourselves in the best accepted model of work format , in our case ;
productive .
Application
Our first learning launch experience , we based on the priority tasks of executing
our production process . In the best way , we wanted to see if we could structure
our tasks and processes to adapt the methods of managing Scrum projects to
our work ( for example , meetings , revisions , etc . ) , in an effort to become more
agile . This tested our assumption that structure and execution were the main
causes of our workflow challenge . Our manager guided our work team in such a
way that each employee has greater agility in each process , so he structured time
management as well as the management of Scrum projects . Then , we went
through a meeting and execution of ideas to structure our tasks and processes in
a more agile way . These meetings take place every fifteen days , to measure our
results and model new ideas . We expected to produce a document with a clear
description of our new , more streamlined processes / workflows .
In our second learning launch , we focused on getting clarity about our tasks and
priorities . In addition , our exchange of experience with other units and exchange
of learnings meant that the routine and workflows and production were readapted
according to demand .
Insight
When applying the learning start tool , our team identified our hypotheses and
designed solutions to test . In addition , we thought about the expected results ,
discovering that a more agile approach would improve our productive workflow
and that our team and the main stakeholders would be quite open to the new
prioritization of tasks and processes . Our real results were a little different than
we anticipated : while our team was open and motivated to prioritize tasks and
processes , the main stakeholders in the operations and quality department
rethought new production formats . Our team will soon review this insight and
incorporate it into future release projects . The course the incorporation of insight
is particularly important at this stage , as the launches happen before a complete
deployment in the design thinking timeline .
Approach
Thinking about the results of our team that has gone through some design
thinking activities and tools and is currently stage in the timeline , the launch of
learning is the appropriate tool putting together a complete format with storytelling
and visualization . As mentioned earlier , our team need to review the data
obtained and bottom - up results in our first two launches and incorporate them in
the future where we will reflect the knowledge acquired , the progress made and
approach attractive solution always ready for innovation and bring better delivery .

“ Pictures reveal a thousand words ” and this is the exact underlying concept behind visualization as an efficient tool for designed thinking . Be it a presentation for client meeting / stakeholders , teaching a class full of students or public speaking whatever be your arena of interest ; pictorial representation tends to elevate the understanding capacity of all . Different individuals have different mindsets , which leads each of them to perceive things from different angles ; visualization helps here a lot : it gives a clear explanation of what the speaker wants to communicate , unambiguously . Hence , we can conclude “ visualization ” is the most powerful tool that helps in bridging verbal communication .
CHALLENGE & SELECTION
life of a student is n’t easy- we not just have to be consistent in our performance each single time ; but have to surpass the expectations of teachers and parents all the time . Not just that , we also have our commitments to extra - curriculum ( singing , dancing , art , etc . ) . there ’s no standstill at all . Well , now I am going to tell the story of : how I used visualization tools to surpass them all ?
Every year in the month of march we have this big event in our city called : inter - school cultural fest , organized by the municipal corporation towards public interest . It is a 5 - day event having a gamut of event each day , followed by announcing the “ champions ” on the final day of the event . The final day event was a crucial one , called the “ know your motherland”- where each group has to portray about a particular culture ( given the diverse culture of India , we have at least 28 different cultures and 300 different languages spoken ) . My team has had to portray the “ Bengali culture”- all the activities symbolizing the Bengali culture ( the art , food , texts , lifestyle etc . ) . Now , what was the challenge / hurdle we ’re facing ? Simply , the language . The audience and the judges belonged from different cultural background and understood their own language . What can we do to effectively communicate with them all at the same time , such that we can portray “ Bengali culture ” unequivocally ?
APPLICATION
Being freshers to this competition , we do not have any prior insights gathered , to be focused onto in order to elevate our performance . Our team had 20
members ( including me ): 5 were doing the Rabindra Sangeet ( musical performance ) , 7 were performing the ancient Bengali epics and folk - fore , 4 were portraying the famous Bengali personalities ( Subhas Chandra Bose , Rabindranath Tagore , Swami Vivekananda etc . ) , 3 would be speaking the modern literary works and I was in charge of the commentary . I felt a lot of stress , regarding how to execute this ? Suddenly I was reminded of the saying “ actions speak louder than words ” ; and this prove to be a game - changer for us . How ? I quickly prepared a presentation which contained pictures , texts , art , etc . everything that matters to symbolize the “ Bengali tradition ” ranging from how Bengal was originated , our lifestyle , our language , our values , tradition and norms ; our famous texts , our religion , major spots of significance and history in Bengal ( like , Kolkata for the birth of modern literary works , shanti- Niketan known for Visva - Bharati university by the Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore , Darjeeling for its serene beauty and tea production , etc . ) .
What difference did it make ? Well , for starters we became the “ champions ” of the competition and not just that , it was privilege for us pass on a piece of knowledge about our culture to everyone , which was deeply immeasurable .
INSIGHTS AND APPROACH
Communication is a two - way process , solely transmission of the message from the sender to receiver is not considered as “ communication ” unless it is backed up by feedback from the receiver to the sender . There ’re seem to be a number of barriers to verbal communication : abstract language , differences in depth of understanding , selective attention are the most prominent among them . Both these are linked with one another , in the sense that : if the speaker uses ‘ abstract words ’ it dimly elicits understanding and more prone to misunderstanding compared to ‘ concrete words ’ ( like table , chair , window , etc . ) which have a clear - cut meaning . As a result of not able to understand clearly what the speaker wants to impart , leads to lack of interest and ultimately distorts attention ; which violates the principle of communication .
In my application , the major barriers were not only the above three factors but also “ cultural differences ” was backing them up . Hence , to elicit clear - cut understanding I resorted to visual tools and additionally , to negate the effect of cultural differences I used a common medium ( English ) which was understood by all , in the form subtitles in my pictorial representation .

Challenge
I currently work in an ophthalmology company as a Surgical Refractive Specialist , where I am in charge of training on the calculation of the intraocular lenses and the use of equipment for doctors and their surgical staff during cataract and refractive surgeries .
As a company , we provide medical equipment , intraocular lenses and all the supplies required during surgeries , mainly cataract surgeries . Cataract is the main cause of blindness worldwide . “ In 1990 an estimated 37 million people were blind around the world and 40 % of them because of cataract . However , 90 % of blind people live in the poorest sections of the developing world ” [ 1 ]
This represents my main challenge , trying to reach the largest number of surgeries to the largest number of people , especially those who live in the most remote and extremely poor places , in order to provide them with a better quality of life .
Selection .
I chose the Visualization tool because it makes the information more tangible and concrete and helps to show people the different options through an image . It takes us beyond just using words . As the authors mention in the article “ Data visualization : Principle , Tools and useful Tricks ” Data driven visuals attract more attention , are easier to understand , and assist in getting your message accros to the audience quickly . It is essential to mention that people get 90 % of information about their environment from the eyes and usually people remember 10 % of what they hear , 20 % of what they read and 80 % of what they see [ 2 ]
Application .
I began to participate as a volunteer in free surgery days for people from remote places and with few resources . In which , all the material required for the surgeries was donated by the company in which I work . Despite the fact that there were many people who were attending surgery every day , I could see that there were still many people who were not attending . So I took on the task of investigating what was happening . It should be noted that this happened in the most remote places and where they had little or no access to education and health services . That is why many people did not attend , since they were afraid , they did not know what was going to be done and they even had wrong ideas about the procedure or it was their own relatives who did not let them go .
So , I began to carry out campaigns in which I showed patients what the procedure consisted of through photos and videos of before and after surgery and that they could see the real impact it had on each person . I also used videos with testimonies of people telling their stories and focused on hearing what their needs and concerns were . In this way , I managed to convince patients and their families to attend the surgical sessions
Insights and Approach
With these procedures I learned to connect more with people , with their needs and concerns . I learned that visualization is really a very valuable tool that allows us to go " further " through images , videos and testimonials . And all this together allowed me to contribute a little to improve the quality of life of each of them . This course make me see the tool in a new way and the most important is always focus on people , I also learn how to start with the desire to make meaning as opposed to make money
In the next time I would definitely use the visualization tool again since I consider it extremely essential , but additional , I would also implement the storytelling tool because in developing projects , design and innovation , it is essential to develop a deeper level of empathy with the people . I learned with this implementation that is very important to connect with people . We have to always remember that design thinking is not just about process and questions , it is also about people , as we saw it in the course . Even if we haven´t had a huge impact yet , we can demonstrate our potential . Remember , revolutionary impact always starts with an idea !

### Input: Example Reflection – Visualization
Challenge
I currently work in an ophthalmology company as a Surgical Refractive Specialist , where I am in charge of training on the calculation of the intraocular lenses and the use of equipment for doctors and their surgical staff during cataract and refractive surgeries .
As a company , we provide medical equipment , intraocular lenses and all the supplies required during surgeries , mainly cataract surgeries . Cataract is the main cause of blindness worldwide . “ In 1990 an estimated 37 million people were blind around the world and 40 % of them because of cataract . However , 90 % of blind people live in the poorest sections of the developing world ” [ 1 ]
This represents my main challenge , trying to reach the largest number of surgeries to the largest number of people , especially those who live in the most remote and extremely poor places , in order to provide them with a better quality of life .
Selection .
I chose the Visualization tool because it makes the information more tangible and concrete and helps to show people the different options through an image . It takes us beyond just using words . As the authors mention in the article “ Data visualization : Principle , Tools and useful Tricks ” Data driven visuals attract more attention , are easier to understand , and assist in getting your message accros to the audience quickly . It is essential to mention that people get 90 % of information about their environment from the eyes and usually people remember 10 % of what they hear , 20 % of what they read and 80 % of what they see [ 2 ]
Application .
I began to participate as a volunteer in free surgery days for people from remote places and with few resources . In which , all the material required for the surgeries was donated by the company in which I work . Despite the fact that there were many people who were attending surgery every day , I could see that there were still many people who were not attending . So I took on the task of investigating what was happening . It should be noted that this happened in the most remote places and where they had little or no access to education and health services . That is why many people did not attend , since they were afraid , they did not know what was going to be done and they even had wrong ideas about the procedure or it was their own relatives who did not let them go .
So , I began to carry out campaigns in which I showed patients what the procedure consisted of through photos and videos of before and after surgery and that they could see the real impact it had on each person . I also used videos with testimonies of people telling their stories and focused on hearing what their needs and concerns were . In this way , I managed to convince patients and their families to attend the surgical sessions
Insights and Approach
With these procedures I learned to connect more with people , with their needs and concerns . I learned that visualization is really a very valuable tool that allows us to go " further " through images , videos and testimonials . And all this together allowed me to contribute a little to improve the quality of life of each of them . This course make me see the tool in a new way and the most important is always focus on people , I also learn how to start with the desire to make meaning as opposed to make money
In the next time I would definitely use the visualization tool again since I consider it extremely essential , but additional , I would also implement the storytelling tool because in developing projects , design and innovation , it is essential to develop a deeper level of empathy with the people . I learned with this implementation that is very important to connect with people . We have to always remember that design thinking is not just about process and questions , it is also about people , as we saw it in the course . Even if we haven´t had a huge impact yet , we can demonstrate our potential . Remember , revolutionary impact always starts with an idea !

Challenge
I am a student who lives in a city where the number of women with financial challenges is constantly increasing . These women have different stories , they are generally alone , often with kids and relatives non close to them , who at the same time also live with limited resources . In a situation like this , a loan from bank is not an option having a temporary or no job , therefore it becomes difficult to start a new life and leave all the abuses behind . Although their life has been very tough so far , they have a strong motivation to initiate a new life , which will give them the independence and the possibility to build a better future .
The charity organization , which I am part of , is planning a campaign to raise money that will be invested to start new small businesses , led by these women . This poses an extra challenge as who donates has to trust the organization that money will be invested to start a business that can help women to be successful . Furthermore , who donates will have the opportunity to monitor directly the start and the development of the start - up .
Selection
Given this background , we have identified storytelling as the most appropriate tool because it emotionally engages donators to support the business proposed by each women , rather than just sharing data analysis , statistics and numbers that describe the situation ( e.g. 40 % of abused women are abandoned and lonely ) . This will also give , to donators , the opportunity to choose and help the situation that is closer to their values .
Application
The organization has selected five women to support in this journey . Each woman was asked to provide a short description of her “ previous life ” and current situation and to talk about her business proposal , resources needed and the financial challenges faced , given the context .
These five stories have been both written and recorded in order to create videos , pictures , posts on social media and printed brochures . Various communication channels were used to reach as many as people possible beyond the charity organization , including small private investors .
Insight & Approach
For the first time the organization decided to use the storytelling tool in order to raise funding from donators . The outcome was very positive , overall much more engagement and participation . The successful result was very clear since the early days of the launch of the humanitarian campaign . One of the learnings is that the emotional engagement combined with the vision of a better future for these women was helping donators to see how they could impact other people life , by feeling their suffer and understanding their motivation better .
Given the outcome obtained thanks to the storytelling tool , the organization decided to approach and apply this tool to help other similar tough situations for future campaign focused on different charity themes . Moreover , to broaden the target audience this approach ( use storytelling ) could be implemented involving other charity organizations in different locations .

The essay :
Road traffic in Moscow under Sobyanin : are
economic
measures effective ?
Written by :
Maga Ivanova
Group № 193 MDI program
05.04.20
Road traffic in Moscow has always aroused strong debates . After his
appointment in 2010 , Sergei Sobyanin immediately called traffic jams as one of the main problems in Moscow . The priority was to streamline the parking space . “ We need to put things in order with parking , especially in the center of Moscow . Nowhere in the world it is allowed to throw a car “ wherever I want ” - across the sidewalk or the road . It is impossible to solve this problem in such chaos “ , Sobyanin said in his interview for the newspaper “ Vedomosti ” . The pilot project for the introduction of paid parking started on November 1 , 2012 from the Karetny Ryad . An hour of parking cost 50 rubles . Parkons examined the payment ; they were cars with video clips . In the absence of payment , a fine was given automatically . Its size was 2500 rubles . For parking in the wrong place the fine was 3000 rubles . Such fines are valid even now .
Within a few months , paid parking began to spread around the city gradually ,
and in 2015 they went beyond the Third Transport Ring ( TTK ) , and their maximum cost in the center and on the embankments of the Moscow River reached 200 rubles per hour . Today the city has 80,000 paid parking . Most of them are located in 85 districts of the city , in 36 districts parking remains free of charge .
According to Viktor Osipkov , the project manager at “ Probkovorot ” , it was
the draconian fines that influenced the fact that people stopped throwing cars anywhere , and the average speed in the city began to grow .
“ If it were not for the Moscow Parking Space project , a transport collapse
would have occurred in the capital of Russia ” , says a representative of the transport department . “ Every day , the number of cars on the roads would be about 10 % more than the current traffic ( 3.9–4 million ) , and Moscow would be in 9 - 10 - point traffic jams ” , he adds .
“ Today , Moscow is no longer the world champion in traffic jams , ” Sobyanin
said recently . “ Motorists are increasingly refusing to travel to the city center by their personal cars ” , a spokesman for the transportation department said . According to him , today in Moscow 70 % of the population uses public transport . This is one of the highest rates , in European cities it is about 60 % .
But paid parking is believed not to affect the traffic situation in any way -
traffic jams still remain . Kirill Yankov , a member of the public council at the Ministry of Transport of Russia , believes that in the center , on the contrary , they have increased . “ The number of parking spaces has been drastically reduced , but there are categories of citizens who do not refuse to travel by personal transport , now they come to the center and travel in circles in search of parking , ” the expert indicates . In his opinion , Moscow needs a large - scale program for the construction of underground parking in the center like in European capitals . “ But if the real goal of the authorities is not to unload the roads , but to remove business life from the city center completely , then their strategy is correct ” , Yankov summarizes .
But it is possible to convince people to change their own cars to public
transport . Squeezing people out of personal vehicles , it is necessary to create alternatives for them . The rejection from personal transport should be stimulated by introducing the MAAS ( mobility as a service ) service , which will allow planning a trip by public transport in real time . And it is necessary to provide a convenient opportunity to compare the duration and cost of various combinations of transport means through “ one window ” , configure the integration of public transport with taxis , car sharing and other services .
Under Sobyanin , the city built more than 650 km of new roads , reconstructed
departure highways and interchanges , accelerated the construction of new lines and metro stations , and commissioned passenger rail services along the Moscow Central Ring .
Ground transportation has become more comfortable , but not enough , as
Yankov believes . “ People have to walk for 15–20 minutes to the nearest metro station . The metro is built mainly on the periphery , but it is not being developed in the center of Moscow . In the center of Paris , for example , metro stations are very densely located , while in Moscow the lines are much longer .
More than 100 kilometers of roads will be built in Moscow this year . And
almost all are complex engineering structures with viaducts , overpasses and tunnels .
Excellent traffic management , reducing the load on major roads gives
positive results . Such measures maid by the state are really effective .

By Joe Hernandez
1 . Challenge : Describe your challenge .
We define storytelling as the art of telling stories . Therefore , the first thing we must do is agree on what a story is . A general definition may be a succession of events ordered in time , but , a very important element is missing … our emotions . It is our emotions that create bonds between people . Our emotions link us with one another and create relationships . Relationships will then allow us to sell our services . It does not matter whether you are a small entrepreneur or a large company . If you do not know how to generate positive emotions in your potential clients , you will not sell . And good stories can generate very positive emotions . It is important to remember that without emotion , there is no story . My challenge is to be able to promote the island ’s ( in which I reside ) project to convert it into a SMART island , in order to reduce the damage that has already been done , and to improve the quality of life of all of those that enjoy this beautiful island .
2.Selection : In your own words , briefly describe the tool you selected
I chose the Storytelling tool . There are many ways of storytelling , especially when wanting to captivate a certain audience . I chose the “ who are we ? ” type of story . This type of story is used to introduce ourselves , to have the public get to know us and our mission . It is our own , personal story and , as in any good story , there must be a conflict . In other words , a challenge that we have had to face and from which we have emerged . Becoming a more reinforced company , which has helped us grow . People like to see that the speaker also has problems like them and can overcome them , because that creates inspiration and help .
“ Hard times ” are one of the most powerful , empathy seeking and important stories to tell . Especially when you explain how you felt and what you did to get out of the struggle . It ’s all about transparency and showing that I am afraid and doubtful about the future of our island . This in turn , makes me seem more human and links me better with my audience . The key , I learned , is to always push to be authentic , and to not make things up or exaggerate . A lack of honesty is easily detected , and authenticity has its reward : public loyalty .
3.Application : Describe how you applied the tool you selected to your challenge
I studied who I was targeting , those who enjoy this beautiful island . The story has to do with the purpose , to promote a better quality of tourism . I explained why we are transforming our island into a SMART island , why we are focusing on efficiency and sustainability and how we strive to leave our island better than the way we found it . I explained the island ’s history , how it has evolved through the years and how tourism has affected everyone ’s lives here . The transformation has truly been astronomical , and even though it has brought many positive changes , it also brought many consequences . Species of animals becoming endangered , ruining of landscapes , contamination and pollution , corruption and economical inflation . The key was to use logic in explaining the story , giving it meaning to create an emotional attachment , and offering solutions for a better future , for the benefit of all of us who enjoy the island .
4.Insight : Describe the insight you gained from applying the tool you selected to your challenge
I learned , by applying the technique of storytelling , that every story has a structure that ’s composed of :
A Body .
It is the presentation , the approach to the initial situation . It may be that the conflict has not yet appeared here , or you are already beginning to intuit . The important thing is that , at some point , something happens that leads us to the next part of the story .
A Knot .
Here the conflict is raised openly , and the protagonist looks for solutions to resolve it although he still can not find them ( otherwise , the story would end here ) . The important thing about this phase is that learning , growth occurs here . And this is what will allow the conflict to be resolved .
An Outcome .
After several attempts , the protagonist finds the solution and solves the problem . It is no longer the same from the beginning . It is wiser . It has learned , it has evolved , it has grown . It has truly succeeded .
5.Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time
Next time I would concentrate more on the fact that we must know ourselves at a deeper level , the better you know yourself , the better stories you will build . Let ’s be ourselves , the public likes authenticity . It is also fundamental to always get the audience involved in the story , and to get them involved . If the public does not feel identified with the story , a bond will not be created . It is important to also project our ideas . To tell our audience about our vision , our mission and our values . A laugh or a chuckle can go a long way , it is also crucial to use humor , there is nothing better than humor to win the public over . Stories are a very powerful tool ; we should always try to avoid the temptation to manipulate and cheat with our storytelling because it can always turn against us .

### Input: Storytelling solutions for stories that need telling
By Joe Hernandez
1 . Challenge : Describe your challenge .
We define storytelling as the art of telling stories . Therefore , the first thing we must do is agree on what a story is . A general definition may be a succession of events ordered in time , but , a very important element is missing … our emotions . It is our emotions that create bonds between people . Our emotions link us with one another and create relationships . Relationships will then allow us to sell our services . It does not matter whether you are a small entrepreneur or a large company . If you do not know how to generate positive emotions in your potential clients , you will not sell . And good stories can generate very positive emotions . It is important to remember that without emotion , there is no story . My challenge is to be able to promote the island ’s ( in which I reside ) project to convert it into a SMART island , in order to reduce the damage that has already been done , and to improve the quality of life of all of those that enjoy this beautiful island .
2.Selection : In your own words , briefly describe the tool you selected
I chose the Storytelling tool . There are many ways of storytelling , especially when wanting to captivate a certain audience . I chose the “ who are we ? ” type of story . This type of story is used to introduce ourselves , to have the public get to know us and our mission . It is our own , personal story and , as in any good story , there must be a conflict . In other words , a challenge that we have had to face and from which we have emerged . Becoming a more reinforced company , which has helped us grow . People like to see that the speaker also has problems like them and can overcome them , because that creates inspiration and help .
“ Hard times ” are one of the most powerful , empathy seeking and important stories to tell . Especially when you explain how you felt and what you did to get out of the struggle . It ’s all about transparency and showing that I am afraid and doubtful about the future of our island . This in turn , makes me seem more human and links me better with my audience . The key , I learned , is to always push to be authentic , and to not make things up or exaggerate . A lack of honesty is easily detected , and authenticity has its reward : public loyalty .
3.Application : Describe how you applied the tool you selected to your challenge
I studied who I was targeting , those who enjoy this beautiful island . The story has to do with the purpose , to promote a better quality of tourism . I explained why we are transforming our island into a SMART island , why we are focusing on efficiency and sustainability and how we strive to leave our island better than the way we found it . I explained the island ’s history , how it has evolved through the years and how tourism has affected everyone ’s lives here . The transformation has truly been astronomical , and even though it has brought many positive changes , it also brought many consequences . Species of animals becoming endangered , ruining of landscapes , contamination and pollution , corruption and economical inflation . The key was to use logic in explaining the story , giving it meaning to create an emotional attachment , and offering solutions for a better future , for the benefit of all of us who enjoy the island .
4.Insight : Describe the insight you gained from applying the tool you selected to your challenge
I learned , by applying the technique of storytelling , that every story has a structure that ’s composed of :
A Body .
It is the presentation , the approach to the initial situation . It may be that the conflict has not yet appeared here , or you are already beginning to intuit . The important thing is that , at some point , something happens that leads us to the next part of the story .
A Knot .
Here the conflict is raised openly , and the protagonist looks for solutions to resolve it although he still can not find them ( otherwise , the story would end here ) . The important thing about this phase is that learning , growth occurs here . And this is what will allow the conflict to be resolved .
An Outcome .
After several attempts , the protagonist finds the solution and solves the problem . It is no longer the same from the beginning . It is wiser . It has learned , it has evolved , it has grown . It has truly succeeded .
5.Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time
Next time I would concentrate more on the fact that we must know ourselves at a deeper level , the better you know yourself , the better stories you will build . Let ’s be ourselves , the public likes authenticity . It is also fundamental to always get the audience involved in the story , and to get them involved . If the public does not feel identified with the story , a bond will not be created . It is important to also project our ideas . To tell our audience about our vision , our mission and our values .

Why did I decide to stop drinking and lead a healthy life ?
My life drinking alcoholic beverages was somewhat
complicated , it certainly gave me a high level of satisfaction when consuming them , both at parties , family gatherings or simply at home for no particular reason , but not everything was good emotions or good times , alcohol It transformed me , and not always into someone happy and outgoing , if not that in most of the time I brought out a rather negative side of me , which neither me nor the people who filmed me liked , unfortunately the realization of This situation took me quite a long time , but when I finally managed to realize things and the ugly situation I found myself in , it was that I made the decision to change the direction I was heading and decided not to have any more drinks alcoholic .
What motivated me mainly was my family , because being most of the time drinking alcohol caused me continuous problems with my family and friends , to the point of getting on badly with almost everyone around me , fortunately my family was always there to me , that 's why it was a great engine to be able to make the decision that I made and that everything happened in a much easier way .
I think that is something very important , having something that motivates you , because when you have a strong reason to do things differently , it really makes it much easier for you , and fortunately that is what happened to me , every day there was a motivation stronger both from my family and my friends , and that was a great support for me .
Without a doubt , what kept me constant in continuing without drinking alcoholic beverages was the relationship that I was gradually recovering with my family and friends , after so much work that it cost me to carry out things , I finally had the relationship with the people I love and the one I had unfortunately lost , but little by little I was able to regain it and now I was better than ever , besides that I think another factor that greatly influenced my continuing to do things was the way in which I I felt without alcohol , I was myself , I did n't feel bad as the days went by . Both my health and my interpersonal relationships were improving which helped me to continue with this process .
Today I can say that stopping alcoholic beverages has brought me many benefits , the first is that I rarely have discussions with my family , and if there are , they are for normal things as many of the people discuss , I have no longer had discussions as strong as they were before . Besides that also the relationship with my friends has returned to normal , I was able to realize who really are the people who support me , I discovered who my true friends were , and I have managed to manage my life in a better way .
I am also leading a healthier life , I eat well , try to exercise , and take care of other things that really are important , such as my family , my school , the goals that I have set , the things I want to achieve and the people that want .
For all this I can say that at the moment I am better than ever .

Challenge :
I am a packaging design engineer ; I am not an IT professional . I also have very broad background including business system development . It was one of the main reasons I was hired at my current company . From day one there was a very clear prime directive form my manager : “ We are missing product launches because art takes too long . Fix it . We need an art management tool ; we ’ve identified something that will work . Do what ’s necessary to procure and implement this system . ” So as I mentioned … . engineer . We tend to be awesome at solving problems unfortunately most people want to give us the answers and have us blindly implement .
Selection :
When presented with this issue , it was quickly obvious that there was more going on than just developing and getting approval for the art . From the start every person involved expressed frustration and anger at the process . Art is actually a very small part of the overall launch process . I decided that before we spent a significant amount of money and bought a system to solve a problem , we should figure out what the problem was in the first place . Problem : We are missing launches . That is clear . Now to figure out why . I started with stakeholder interviews just to understand the process and any obvious frustrations or issues . Some frightening themes emerged :
• No one knows the process , sometimes not even their role . • I see everything multiple times , so I do not look at it the first 2 or 3 times it comes to my desk . I wait until everyone else has commented . • There is no timeline , so I have no idea when my part of the process is due . • It is not my job and I do not care about the timeline , that is someone else ’s problem .
I chose to use visualization to map out the as is process first . This seemed like a critical activity since no one really understood the start to finish process and had no connection to it . I felt they needed an anchor so that they clearly saw where they fit in to the process and how their activity affected everyone else in the process . We needed to get people to care not just about their job but also about the team and the launch of new products . We needed people to see themselves as part of a team which could be relied on to help everyone succeed .
Application :
We started our mapping exercise as a boat trip where tasks moved us along the path to the destination . We needed to instill in the team that they were in fact a team and we are all in the boat together . If the boat does not reach its destination , our business will not succeed and will eventually cease to exist . We needed everyone to understand that EVERY action affected everyone else in the process and if one person faltered in their task , the team needed to step up and assist or crunch downstream activity to make up the time . We did a first round with all stakeholders in the room . We walked through the activity in detail drawing out each step . We then added the inputs and output details to the map . After the first round was complete and we had translated the map into a digitized workflow diagram , I spent significant time with each stakeholder group adding details to their touch points including durations so that eventually a project time table could be built . The perception in the company was that a new SKU launch took 16 - 18 weeks and we needed that number to be 10 - 12 to be competitive .
What resulted from the first activity was a spaghetti tangle of processes with overlaps , dependencies for information that did n’t occur until later in the workflow and a lot of infinite loops where activities just got stuck and there was no way to come to conclusion or end point . We then deconstructed several
past launches and using the documentation determined how long each part of the process took and added timelines to the process . Reality was that most took 32 - 36 weeks .
We brought everyone back in and started to detangle the mess . For every activity we asked : who owns this , who performs this , why are we doing this activity , what ’s needed to complete it , what is the output , how long does the actual activity take , how long should be allocated on a normal basis for this to be completed understanding total workload , what happens after it ’s complete , what happens if there is a delay .
One major learning was that many of the activities included multiple steps or deliverables and were often overwhelming for the team member who was responsible for completion , so they procrastinated in even starting the task . This frequently added time to the project . We broke tasks down into smaller pieces so that they did not require such large blocks of time and could be completed as time allowed . The work could be spread out amongst multiple team members for one department instead of one person being responsible for the whole .
We identified that there was a lot of activity that really had nothing to do with the actual launch , but those events were preventing other launch requirements from occurring because they had been tied together procedurally . Some of the infinite loops were result of unclear or non - existent processes and responsibility matrix . People were literally figuring it out each time the event occurred , and it was difficult to get consensus on path forward . What worked last time , might not be agreed to the next time . We clarified / simplified or defined process and RACI charts for every activity . We also identified that majority of time was spent figuring out where documents were and what their status was , waiting for inputs with no visibility to their status and chasing paper around the building .
We slowly untangled the mess and developed a straightforward workflow . The art , which was perceived as the problem , really had no impact on the overall timeline . After the exercise was complete , we trialed it on paper for a few launches before we identified business workflow software which could digitize the process and automate many of the simpler activities .
We implemented a software solution which gave the entire team visibility to all the activities . The system has validated electronic approvals , so it eliminated any activity associated with chasing paper or finding documents and getting signatures . Because everything is digital , team members can complete tasks and activities from anywhere .
Insight
It was critical that people have a visual anchor to the process but also to each other . Work had become impersonal . Once we got people to understand how they impacted their co - workers and made it personal , it was easier to get them aligned . We literally walked them through past launches and had them look the people in the eye that they impacted with their delays or inaction . It is a lot harder to disconnect from a friend / co - worker than a theoretical process . We made more progress and got better feedback on individual basis than in group form . People hesitated to call out bad behavior in groups but were VERY honest one to one . Next time I would start with deep dive evaluation of past launches . Actual events were more grounding to people than describing what they perceived as the process .

Challenge & Selection
Storytelling is a great tool that I use all the time . It helps explain the interconnections among people in situations and settings , teaching broad lessons that engage real human beings . I am a founder of a production house and I have different clients , restaurant , corporate company , NGO ....... etc . Every project has its own story , which always inspires us . And guide us to solve complexities of the social orders and life , touch us emotionally , enrich empathy , generate curiosity , nurture who we are , and amend our behaviour .
I had a client Jenny , who was a new launch pet grooming shop owner . According to her high - end standard service & prices , and the market not yet recognized her brand . She failed to attract customer experience their service at the beginning . Jenny requests me to make a promotion video for her shop , and show me a lot of service packages , and excellent certified stylists provide full services pet bath with haircut . However , my experience told me , that can not solve her problems .
Application
I show her a story from my friend , who is a chef , always love to enhance his dishes and develop a new dish . One day he invited me to try out his new dish , that he considers being his signature dish . And asked for any advices on how to promote it . I listened to the whole story about how did he develop the dish and the challenges during the creation . He spent a lot of time to fine - tune his dish , tried out different ingredients combination , slice them in different sizes and ways , compared the texture and taste by different cooking time . And Finally , how did he pick a name for the dish from about a hundred ideas . I rejected to promote his signature dish . But proposed him to promote himself to the public . Since the most charming part of the story , not the signature dish itself , but the crazy chef 's passion and determination on food .
Jenny totally got the point at that moment . Understand should not focus on promoting the service package or products , but how they care about the pets from their heart . Since many people treated their pet as a kid . They all considering how you treated their sweetheart like them . Finally , we focus the promotion on the happy moment of their staff interaction with different pets , made it fun with joyful music . It got great success , she got more and more customers became their members .
Insight & Approach
What I have learned from storytelling to my clients is everyone may have their fantastic story , but not everyone know how to perform it well . Sometimes we may forget the sight of the audiences . In fact telling a story , equivalent to communicate a message to your audience . And the best practice is always to know your audience , figure out how to deliver the message is more effective . Journey mapping is another great tool , which helps us study our audiences and identifying needs that customers are often unable to articulate .

One day he invited me to try out his new dish , that he considers being his signature dish . And asked for any advices on how to promote it . I listened to the whole story about how did he develop the dish and the challenges during the creation . He spent a lot of time to fine - tune his dish , tried out different ingredients combination , slice them in different sizes and ways , compared the texture and taste by different cooking time . And Finally , how did he pick a name for the dish from about a hundred ideas . I rejected to promote his signature dish . But proposed him to promote himself to the public . Since the most charming part of the story , not the signature dish itself , but the crazy chef 's passion and determination on food .
Jenny totally got the point at that moment . Understand should not focus on promoting the service package or products , but how they care about the pets from their heart . Since many people treated their pet as a kid . They all considering how you treated their sweetheart like them . Finally , we focus the promotion on the happy moment of their staff interaction with different pets , made it fun with joyful music . It got great success , she got more and more customers became their members .
Insight & Approach
What I have learned from storytelling to my clients is everyone may have their fantastic story , but not everyone know how to perform it well . Sometimes we may forget the sight of the audiences . In fact telling a story , equivalent to communicate a message to your audience . And the best practice is always to know your audience , figure out how to deliver the message is more effective . Journey mapping is another great tool , which helps us study our audiences and identifying needs that customers are often unable to articulate .

Challenge
Health Periodic Exam
My first challenge with Design Thinking was rethinking the service Health Periodic Exam offered by the Federal Public Ministry of Brazil . This is a periodic health examination that , through legislation , should be offered to all active public servants in Brazil . The service is offered unequally to all units of the Federal Public Ministry , not reaching all required public today . It is also important to note that the number of examinations and consultations offered to the civil servants varies according to a categorization of profiles about risks to health .
The objective was to expand access service to all civil servants of the institution , and rethinking the entire customer journey .
Selection
To conduct the work , we selected the visualization tool so that we could see together all the steps , information and agents involved in the Health Periodic Exam . The idea was to create a great visual map that could compose a whole vision of service , so that participants could gain a global understanding to conduct a holistic analysis .
Application
I started the work creating a panel with two well - defined spaces : " what I know " and " what I do not know " . I questioned all participants what they knew about the Health Periodic Exam , how the service was provided , which was related , etc . Who had an idea , had to wrote it in a post - it and put it on the dashboard .
Built the first panel , we began to organize the post - its around the customer journey , ordering the post - its in terms of the stages of service . At the end of the process we described the whole process related to examination Health Journal .
Insight & Aproach
Then we started to write down ideas that could improve the process mapped , based on those previously established purposes . For this , not only we talk to the people running the service but also those service users . First , we ask that ideas were developed , regardless of their quality : this time , it was worth the amount .
Then we choose and concatenate ideas in order to design a new unit for the service . All ideas were recorded , organized and concatenated visually creating a large graph of collective proposal .
Feedback
Upon completion of the dynamic created 33 changes on the current service Health Periodic Exam . Most people praised the dynamic , saying they had never before participated in meetings as productive . Today , they are eager for more ...

Challenge & Selection
Storytelling is a great tool to use at has proven fruitful 100 % of the time . I work with kids at up until the age of 12 and kids with mental illnesses . Many of these kids deal with oppression and dysfunction in every aspect of their lives , they need to be empowered and inspiration is a path to empowerment . I spend a lot of time communicating with them and finding ways to make them understand themselves , their needs and inspire them to improve their circumstances and build foundations for their future . Often , the kids with the special needs feel lonely and sharing stories of their lives help them connect and find meaning . I believe it has proven to be the most resultful form of teaching and educating . When I share stories of my life in order to help them visualize a state of independence , I use their feedback against the context of my story to ascertain their goals , and sometimes we use stories to better understand their interests and thought processes . I use this information to develop different strategies to try and find a way that works for them to gain more independence in the areas they find lacking in their lives .
Application
In discussing policy changes with the institute , I work for and the social service agency , I was trying to explain to them the benefits of taking a more children focused approach , among other things , and in particular , of recognizing each person as a unique being , and addressing their individual needs first and foremost . The agency was in the grip of a “ compliance culture ” and its clients were failing in this non- empathetic , rigid structure . I was also explaining how sometimes addressing the needs of one individual can impact everyone for the better , bringing the conversation to the children ’s families or the official clients of the institute . I told a story about when I had to deal with an extreme case of autism in a regular classroom a few years ago . The rest of the class ( children aged 8) got distressed as well , when the kid got into crisis . I could tell that after the proper attention was given to the source of the panic , everyone would overcome their emotionally distressed situation . I sat by the kid ’s side focus looked into its eyes and smiled while began telling a nice story about bravery and the power of a calm mind . It turned out that the whole classroom hushed and paid full attention to the story , every single kid was calm and participating with ideas and questions about the story . After I finished the story , I open the floor for the kids to share experiences of them being brave and handling situations of their own , and turned out that there a lot of stories like that . The kid with the mental disabilities also contributed in the conversation with a story and turns out , it was a brave kid fighting with its own problem , oppressing itself with the aim of not spreading distressed to its family that seemed to have to deal with a lot of problems as well .
Insight & Approach
That was an eye - opener . Not only understanding that your brain functions in a different way than most , but also trying to gain control over it so as to ensure others ’ comfort and calmness . The story - telling worked really well and also helped both me and the kids see the matter of a different perspective . The kid really needed individual attention for that brief time , and after sharing , the result was true support from the whole group . So , I told this story to the agency and the board of the institute , 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 an education background , but I ended up as an entrepreneur in the field . I had no idea this would ever be considered an asset , but I am so very grateful that it is !

1 ) Challenge : I am a student pursuing my Fashion Technology degree and one who is
in the process of doing a startup . The main problem which everyone told me I would be facing was the lack of ideas for new designs in the already vast fashion world . Even if I had some really good designers with me , the process of brainstorming and ideation would yield very less results .
2 ) Selection : So , I thought that the best solution to overcome this problem would be
to use the art of “ Visualization ” to enhance the ideation process . Visualization is a tool that has proven to a really important process for design . It allows us to think in a non - verbal way and helps us access the creative parts of our brain making it the perfect tool for helping design clothes which is mostly about creativity .
3 ) Application : Thus , being confident of its power I used Visualization for my next
ideation session . Instead of just bringing notes about the new models of clothes , people brought sketches , drawings , rough diagrams both on paper and/or on PPT ’s . Even people who claimed that they were not good at drawing before were also made to bring something visual . Needless to say , the ideation was a huge hit .
4 ) Insight : With the help of this course I was able to understand the importance of
design tools and to be more specific be satisfied about the tool visualization which helped broaden and clear the views of people .
5 ) Approach : It had such good results this is sure going to be a mandatory in every
one of my next sessions . However , I intend to try two tools , visualization and storytelling combined in my further sessions .

( Learning launch tool )
Challenge
Oil is the main type of income here in the UAE it provides more than 30 % of its GDP . This is quite impressive , but sadly oil does n’t last and is bound to finish we ca n’t keep relying on it as a main type of income , However The UAE is trying to discover new grounds to rely on for income other than oil such as nuclear power plants and tourism . My challenge as a citizen here in the UAE is to create a simple technology that can be easily accessed by people around me can access and reflect , give their opinions and try to spread the message . The timeline for this project should at least take me a month since ill have to an application designer to help me design the application that I am putting out .
Selection
I decided to use the learning launch tool , it is a carefully designed prototype designed to test the solution underlying value generating causes of a new - growth start . I believe this will help me reach my goal and make it simple not too complicated for the user to easily navigate . This tool will help me go through an iterating process that will lead me to my solution and working with the prototype will help us try the idea with a bigger audience .
Application
My first launch I focused on making sure of providing a mobile application that works on smartphones with features like capturing , chatting and location . This is for users to capture information and idea on how we could find new ways of income for the UAE and start conversing . My focus was to see how the users talk to one another and see how the platform feels . This helped me see the users approach and the idea behind the platform , Everything was perfect however I had problems with the users keep on getting removed from the app so I went to a designer and see if he could get the problem fixed .
My second Launch to people that are close to me . My focus was to make sure that the app does n’t crash or let the users sign out randomly , so I took my time and observed and everything was on point . After testing the second launch I started asking questions about it and conducted that the platform was simple and easy to navigate . My priority was to make sure that the app was easy to navigate for the users .
John Keells Group Classification : Internal
Insight
By applying the learning tool , I made and tested the solutions . Through the learning outcomes I got to improve my mobile application to meet users ’ expectations and take feed backs to heart . It is through this process that I found that my app used to crash and let the users sign out and all the interviewees found that the second launch feels a lot better . Going on I think for future reference and I should really focus on customers feedback on anything I put out .
Approach
The learning launch tool was the appropriate tool for my application . I should review the thoughts and notes I had down from asking and exploring after the two launches and add this to future launch designs as this I found as the most effective and ideal way of approaching and applying solutions .

I work as a software engineer in big company in Germany and I use so - called Learning Launch
on regular basis to check and verify the ideas before we start to build a feature to cover requirements . I would like to focus on single case and specific feature which was discussed with our Belgian customers / stakeholders . During the project we were working on a legacy system which have been modernized and transformed to a new functional shape using modern technology . We were not able to completely rewrite the legacy system ( of course ) but we decided to somehow reuse logic and functionalities . There were plenty of ideas how to upgrade and improve one of them . We picked up one of the ideas and provided a prototype of the solution . In this reflection I will focus on the insights we gained and the results of the process we followed using Learning Launch as a tool which we found a proper one to verify our idea .
APPLICATION
Based on the requirements gathered in the previous session and time spent with our
stakeholders we prepared a prototype of solution based on the inspiration taken from the legacy system . From the development point of view our goal was to have a simple but working solution which could be easily scaled in the future . After relatively short development time we deployed the prototype functionality on dedicated test environment ( similar to production ) and let our stakeholders play with the new functionality observing their behavior and what they exactly do . We discovered that the users were very familiar with the functionalities as they literally reused experience from the legacy system . So this from the usability point of view . We also observed that some of the places / requirements were not covered – this due to the limitation of time we had for prototyping . This gave us great input for adjustments and fine tuning but also an official green light for further development as the users fell very comfortable with the new - old improved functionality .
INSIGHT
The tool which we used to double check our ideas before spending much effort on target
solution gave us early feedback from users / stakeholders and confirmed our assumptions . Theoretically we could have done the same without spending effort on prototyping as the new functionality was very similar to the legacy system but we did n’t know how and if the process will be followed in the new software environment . The tool we used perfectly showed us that we went in a good direction but also allowed our users to directly give us some feedback and improvements proposals . We also were able to directly observe how they behave using new piece of software which was inspiring for us .
APPORACH :
The improvement which could be feasible next time would be to prepare more than one
prototype and organize more than one Learning Launches at the same time focusing on the same problem / requirement . This would require putting less energy in each prototype but probably increase the accuracy and selection of the right solution based on the feedback .

I work as a software engineer in big company in Germany and I use so - called Learning Launch
on regular basis to check and verify the ideas before we start to build a feature to cover requirements . I would like to focus on single case and specific feature which was discussed with our Belgian customers / stakeholders . During the project we were working on a legacy system which have been modernized and transformed to a new functional shape using modern technology . We were not able to completely rewrite the legacy system ( of course ) but we decided to somehow reuse logic and functionalities . There were plenty of ideas how to upgrade and improve one of them . We picked up one of the ideas and provided a prototype of the solution . In this reflection I will focus on the insights we gained and the results of the process we followed using Learning Launch as a tool which we found a proper one to verify our idea .
APPLICATION
Based on the requirements gathered in the previous session and time spent with our
stakeholders we prepared a prototype of solution based on the inspiration taken from the legacy system . From the development point of view our goal was to have a simple but working solution which could be easily scaled in the future . After relatively short development time we deployed the prototype functionality on dedicated test environment ( similar to production ) and let our stakeholders play with the new functionality observing their behavior and what they exactly do . We discovered that the users were very familiar with the functionalities as they literally reused experience from the legacy system . So this from the usability point of view . We also observed that some of the places / requirements were not covered – this due to the limitation of time we had for prototyping . This gave us great input for adjustments and fine tuning but also an official green light for further development as the users fell very comfortable with the new - old improved functionality .
INSIGHT
The tool which we used to double check our ideas before spending much effort on target
solution gave us early feedback from users / stakeholders and confirmed our assumptions . Theoretically we could have done the same without spending effort on prototyping as the new functionality was very similar to the legacy system but we did n’t know how and if the process will be followed in the new software environment . The tool we used perfectly showed us that we went in a good direction but also allowed our users to directly give us some feedback and improvements proposals . We also were able to directly observe how they behave using new piece of software which was inspiring for us .
APPORACH :
The improvement which could be feasible next time would be to prepare more than one
prototype and organize more than one Learning Launches at the same time focusing on the same problem / requirement . This would require putting less energy in each prototype but probably increase the accuracy and selection of the right solution based on the feedback .

Challenge & Selection
Storytelling has an emotional connection which can be explained easily . Storytelling is the difference between solving a problem and creating a cause . To create a story there are few things to keep in mind . The first thing to do , is you have to know your audience . Basically , a story is designed for the audience . The things that your understands and your audience knows and are familiar with should be discussed . The second part of a good story is a clear sequence of events . When one listen to a great story teller , there 's a very clear sequence of events that moves the story from the beginning to the end .
Application : Storytellers that are not good leave the questions hanging in the air and so people walk out in confusion and are uncertain about the direction to take from there .
If the story is a compelling story , something that is of interest then people are going to listen no matter what the medium is .

CHALLENGE
Working on the marketing area of a popular salsa radio station , we realized that the brand were losing audience increasingly , the situation turns critical because of the audience ratings report and also by the churn from the advertisers .
The radio was the first salsa radio station in Peru , and in that time have more than 30 years leading the ratings with a great advantage over the competitors . It´s regular audience were young adult people , from 20 to 45 years , both genders but with a preponderacy of male , and medium to small GSE . The playlist was focus on the actual music of artists like Marc Anthony , Victor Manuelle , Gente de Zona , etc . It didn´t consider music form classics or other music gender related to salsa .
SELECTION
The first time I Heard about the tool was in a global market research agency being an Account Client Director , and it grab my attention instantly . The Story telling is a toll which allows you to create some kind of a little movie , I mean it because you need a structure , a screenplay in order to grab the attention of your listeners and to get them into the discussion to improve it and to develop more insights over the available data . Also , the tool helps you to be more clear in what you want to transmite to the audience .
Making the research about the current situation of the radio ( What is ? phase ) , we realized 2 issues . The first one was about the poor situation of the radio on the audience ratings , the image on the mind of our listeners and those who leaved us to change and hear a new one , how other salsa stations created newer mixes in their playlist to attract more listeners , how distant was our relationship was with the local artists , etc .
To make more difficult the situation , while we were delivering information ( insights in advance , sum reports , etc . ) , we discovered that the CEO were not agree that the brand needed some changes at least . To be clear , he understand there was a non good situation , but were really afraid to make changes , he just was talking about to change the logo design .
APLICATION
The data brougth us the alerts , the situation required deep changes in order to make more interesting the radio station , to make it newer , and to attract again the listeners .
So , we knew we had to work with storytelling to show the information with a consistent and lineal screenplay ; showing the previous situation of the radio , when it was the favorite ; then showing how the industry changed , and how our audience changed , and finally where we were in the moment . That would gave us more effectiveness and make meaningful impact .
INSIGHT & APPROACH
After the meeting where we exposed the information , we gave the audience just an infographic with the main points we talked about and the insights . Then we asked them how they think we could improve the situation .
Then we realized that we made it great , because people , including our CEO , understood the whole situation , and instantly were involved trying to give ideas and asking for another meeting to continue work and start the actions .
How we could have done it better ? , I´ll like to say that maybe a video of our meetings with interviewed people talking about the radio , how they used to love it , why they left it , etc . would be more effective . And also , if after the presentation results meeting we would have used mind mapping tools the meeting could were more productive .

1 . Challenge : Describe your challenge , including all relevant information
I ’m a change management consultant that ’s been hired by a leading Events Promoter . Despite once
being a dominant force in the industry it has started to experience a slow decline . The company has
experienced declining sales , high turnover , the delivery of events has n’t been up to mark as is
evident from customer refund requests and complaints on social media / public platforms .
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 )
I ’m choosing visualization as a tool to frame the problem . Visualization is a collaborative process , it
can communicate both abstract and concrete ideas , drawing mental imagery can also help people
be inspired and put them in a state to manifest the imagery .
In terms of the 5 stages of design thinking , Visualization utilizes empathy by taking into account all
the stakeholders needs , feeling , emotions in an illustrative way , it utilizes Define , participants can
use illustration to frame the problem , it utilizes Ideate , participants can visually express their
solutions , it utilizes Prototype by designing what an idea structure would look like and finally allows
you to Test , being an iterative process , feedback loops can help to refine the design of the prototype
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 ) .
I organized a town hall , bringing together all the stakeholders required to build a new framework that
can improve future outcomes ; Sales , Marketing , Operations , HR , Finance , Procurement and Clients .
I then created 7 cross - functional teams and chose a young member on each team to become the
captain while being supported by a department head .
First step , draw a straw man graphic and hand it over the each team to develop , teams have the
following themes :
● Engagement - I would recommend my company as a great place to work
● Leadership - The leaders at my company have communicated a vision that i understand and
have asked me to contribute to
● Enablement - I have access to the learning and development I need to do my job well
● Alignment - I receive appropriate recognition when i do good work and feedback my
outcomes are misaligned
● Development - My manager ( or someone in management ) has shown a genuine interest in
my career aspirations ”
This was done to be able to understand the status quo , the sentiments and aspirations of those
present .
Second step was to doing a fun team building event to get the participants energized , we then
discuss the results of the first exercise and started a group discussion where each team had to now
develop a straw man model using sticky notes and whiteboard which incorporated the following
elements :
● What would make your company a great place to work
● What vision would you like to set out out for your company
● What areas of your work would like to to receive mentorship and training on
● What incentives would you need to do a better job
● Are you empowered at this organization and do you see yourself growing
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 survey and the work groups helped to identify three bottlenecks in the organization :
● Problem : The majority of employees recognized that the poor execution on the event level
was reason behind declining sales , this was starting to affect the market reputation of the
company and this was affecting their sense of pride in their work
● Solution : One work group designed a model where the company had a customer centric
culture with a strong CRM system to capture information about customers , wish them for
birthdays , reward customers who were loyal and regular customers . Another work group
designed a system where Chatbots engaged with customers on the website . Another work
group proposed an incentive system for the marketing and sales team based on Net
Promoter Score
● Problem : Only 20 % of employees knew the vision of the company and a further 40 % felt that
the leadership of the organization did not take their feedback into account or refer to actual
data when creating the vision statement
● Solution : Two work groups proposed vision statement designs incorporated actions that can
help employees turn the vision into reality another work group proposed a vision statement
that is relatable and that has a majority consensus from employees
● Problem : A lack of accountability and failure implement policies and procedures into action .
E.g. Procurement Department personnel complained that despite requesting the Operations
Department for a minimum three supplier bids the Operations team did not follow protocol
and tended to choose their preferred supplier who on most occasions was more expensive
than going market rate
● Solution : Three work groups designed a model where the procurement process was moved
online and that the minimum number of bids had to be submitted for the system to give the
operations team an approval and the approval would have to be submitted to finance to clear
the funds .. This took away any element of manipulation , favoritism or human error from the
process .
Visualization played a key role in giving the participants the flexibility to think outside the box ,
explore ideas in a more creative fashion and take each other 's feedback into account when
designing a better process .
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
A tool I would definitely use the next time is storytelling . The events industry thrives on creating
unforgettable experience and positive energy - which in turn has a positive impact on the people
putting together the events and those who part with their money to experience it . So it is very
relatable .
Using a story , the participants can shine light on areas of improvement in an entertaining and
non - confrontational way , get creative with their ideas and solutions . The stories can be cautionary
tales , tales of redemption and tales of a group of people overcoming impossible barriers . Hence the
tool can be inspirational and aspirational .

Challenges of Educational Institutions Post Covid19 Pandemic in India
Challenge : The sudden implementation of Lockdown due to Covid 19 Corona Virus in different
phases extending more than three months in India . And it had impacted the education sector very much . Most of the schools and colleges were not in a position to handle this wicked problem . As per one estimate nearly 160 million students worldwide were still forced to stay at homes and not attending schools and colleges . The regulatory bodies of education sector such as UGC , AICTE , CBSE and many state level apex agencies including Universities also were not able to comprehend the problem . The policy knee jerk reactions about conduct of exams , opening up of educational institutions , implementation of online classes , zeroing on edu - tech solutions were quite evident . The biggest challenge is in mitigating the suddenness and wicked nature of the problem of not getting terms with how to define and comprehend its impact on education sector .
The major stakeholders of education sector the student community is facing lot of uncertainty about their future . The parents are very much worried about the health and safety of their children to send them to schools and colleges and also about the loss of time . The administrators , faculty members and supporting staff of academic institutes were also confused very much about the way forward and also their safety . The organisations which offered placement offers to students were not sure about their on - boarding plan due to prevailing uncertainty .
Selection : At our college we are trying different approaches to mitigate the challenge of shifting
to online mode of teaching and enhancing user experience . I suggested learning launch tool to our team to experiment different technologies , methods and approaches . This tools I believe helps us in experiment and quickly test an idea and gives ample scope for designing prototypes .
Application : In our first learning launch , we concentrated on the concepts , structure and
execution of our online teaching programme . Our task at that moment is to get clarity about content , structure , timing , connectivity and frequency of teaching sessions in online . This tested the ability of our faculty and students and how quickly they adapt to the new approach . We organised faculty development classes by experts through online on how to conduct the virtual classes and some of the evaluation methods . At later stage we introduced several platforms such as Zoom , Google Meet , Cisco Webex , Goto Meeting , Webjam , etc and created awareness about the nuances and tips . These events breaks the inertia and made our faculty members ready for learning new online teaching methodologies and prepared them for accepting change .
The second learning launch helps us in strengthening our resolve to make the new methodologies more effective . More emphasis was made on teaching , learning and evaluation methods . The student challenges were also identified . Also , this experimentaion made us to recognise the importance of other stakeholders such as technology firms , system administrators , regulatory bodies in education field , and society at largenin successful implementation of project of this nature .
Insight : However , every crisis is an opportunity to learn lessons and strengthen our systems
further to make them more robust and flexible . Majority of the educational institutions have shifted to online mode in more haphazard way and facing the challenges . The stated problem is having all the ingredients to apply Design Thinking approach than any linear methods . The human centered nature of the stated challenge , the divergent opinion of various stakeholders about the problem , the degree of complexity , the lack of empirical data makes clear case for applying design thinking approach to enhance user experience in imparting On Line Education by Educational Institutions in Post Covid19 era in India .
Approach : The following are the guiding questions which help in applying Design Thinking
problem solving approach to the stated assignment topic how to enhance User experience in on - line teaching :
What are the critical success factors for implementing On - Line Teaching ?
Who are the important stakeholders in making the transition from face - to - face teaching to On - Line Teaching ?
What kind of educational technologies are more suitable for On - Line mode f teaching ?
What are the changes that are to be incorporated in administration , reporting , compliance and documentation aspects in educational institutes ?
How to engage the students more productively in online teaching process ?
How to make the online teaching more effective in knowledge sharing , student involvement , evaluation of performance , etc . ?
As our team has already gone through several design thinking activities in other areas and are at this stage in the timeline , the learning launch is the appropriate tool . The experience gained through the learning launches must be documented and discussed at length . The future launches should be more effective and should lead us to a comprehensive plan for full - fledged implementation .

phases extending more than three months in India . And it had impacted the education sector very much . Most of the schools and colleges were not in a position to handle this wicked problem . As per one estimate nearly 160 million students worldwide were still forced to stay at homes and not attending schools and colleges . The regulatory bodies of education sector such as UGC , AICTE , CBSE and many state level apex agencies including Universities also were not able to comprehend the problem . The policy knee jerk reactions about conduct of exams , opening up of educational institutions , implementation of online classes , zeroing on edu - tech solutions were quite evident . The biggest challenge is in mitigating the suddenness and wicked nature of the problem of not getting terms with how to define and comprehend its impact on education sector .
The major stakeholders of education sector the student community is facing lot of uncertainty about their future . The parents are very much worried about the health and safety of their children to send them to schools and colleges and also about the loss of time . The administrators , faculty members and supporting staff of academic institutes were also confused very much about the way forward and also their safety . The organisations which offered placement offers to students were not sure about their on - boarding plan due to prevailing uncertainty .
Selection : At our college we are trying different approaches to mitigate the challenge of shifting
to online mode of teaching and enhancing user experience . I suggested learning launch tool to our team to experiment different technologies , methods and approaches . This tools I believe helps us in experiment and quickly test an idea and gives ample scope for designing prototypes .
Application : In our first learning launch , we concentrated on the concepts , structure and
execution of our online teaching programme . Our task at that moment is to get clarity about content , structure , timing , connectivity and frequency of teaching sessions in online . This tested the ability of our faculty and students and how quickly they adapt to the new approach . We organised faculty development classes by experts through online on how to conduct the virtual classes and some of the evaluation methods . At later stage we introduced several platforms such as Zoom , Google Meet , Cisco Webex , Goto Meeting , Webjam , etc and created awareness about the nuances and tips . These events breaks the inertia and made our faculty members ready for learning new online teaching methodologies and prepared them for accepting change .
The second learning launch helps us in strengthening our resolve to make the new methodologies more effective . More emphasis was made on teaching , learning and evaluation methods . The student challenges were also identified . Also , this experimentaion made us to recognise the importance of other stakeholders such as technology firms , system administrators , regulatory bodies in education field , and society at largenin successful implementation of project of this nature .
Insight : However , every crisis is an opportunity to learn lessons and strengthen our systems
further to make them more robust and flexible . Majority of the educational institutions have shifted to online mode in more haphazard way and facing the challenges . The stated problem is having all the ingredients to apply Design Thinking approach than any linear methods . The human centered nature of the stated challenge , the divergent opinion of various stakeholders about the problem , the degree of complexity , the lack of empirical data makes clear case for applying design thinking approach to enhance user experience in imparting On Line Education by Educational Institutions in Post Covid19 era in India .
Approach : The following are the guiding questions which help in applying Design Thinking
problem solving approach to the stated assignment topic how to enhance User experience in on - line teaching :
What are the critical success factors for implementing On - Line Teaching ?
Who are the important stakeholders in making the transition from face - to - face teaching to On - Line Teaching ?
What kind of educational technologies are more suitable for On - Line mode f teaching ?
What are the changes that are to be incorporated in administration , reporting , compliance and documentation aspects in educational institutes ?
How to engage the students more productively in online teaching process ?
How to make the online teaching more effective in knowledge sharing , student involvement , evaluation of performance , etc . ?
As our team has already gone through several design thinking activities in other areas and are at this stage in the timeline , the learning launch is the appropriate tool . The experience gained through the learning launches must be documented and discussed at length . The future launches should be more effective and should lead us to a comprehensive plan for full - fledged implementation .

I work for one of federal telecom operators . I ’m the Head of Commercial Department in one of the
regional branches . Our main product is mobile telephony including voice , SMS and 4 G mobile internets .
To make it more clear the company sells connection kits including SIM - cards with prepaid tariff plan .
Every day we face a great challenge to acquire new subscribers and retain the existing ones as the
competition environment is relentless . The basic channel of distribution is our own retail network . It
consists of mono - brand shops , where a customer can buy our product , connect / disconnect different
services , ask for advice , etc . To increase the customers ’ traffic in some of our mono - brand shops
collaboration with the coffee shops was made . The idea was that customers of the coffee shop would
convert in new mobile network users . After couple of months the idea seemed to fail , as the traffic
increased , but the conversion decreased , it was not the result we expected , because that meant that new
customers buying coffee passed by products and services we offer .
So we were to start with question number one « What is ? » to find out what the problem is . First we tried
to apply standard analytical approach , but did n’t get any distinct answer . So the alternative approach was
to apply one of the design thinking tools presented in the course . The tool we used was the tool of
Visualization . The idea was to imagine and design a kind of a simple customer journey map for two types
of customers : 1 ) those who comes only for the coffee and 2 ) those who comes only for mobile services
and then understand , how these groups of customers move physically inside the shop space . So when we
talk about imagination and visual thinking the tool of Visualization is the best choice . Concerning that
challenge it is the tool to identify pain points and find opportunities for improvements or solutions .
Application . ,
The members of my team ( retail managers , marketing specialist , and trainer ) made consistently the next
steps :
1 ) Depicted on the flipchart the plan of every mono - brand shop including the coffee shop area ;
2 ) Marked all important zones , such as reception , showcases , lounges , windows , entrances , exits , etc .
by blue color ;
3 ) Marked all observable advertising materials by yellow color ;
4 ) Marked the free spaces easy to come through ( call them corridors ) by green color ;
5 ) Marked the spaces not easy to come through ( call them obstacles ) by red color ;
6 ) Envisioned different ways different customers move around the shop considering “ corridors » and
« obstacles ” and marked them on the flipchart by black color arrows .
After conducting that simple exercise it became obvious that we could n’t see earlier . The result was
exciting and the tool was applied effectively . It helped to look deep into the problem considering
customers experience .
Insight and Approach .
The insight we gained from applying the tool is that the new customers coming to the coffee shop have a
small opportunity to be involved in telecom operator mono - brand shop however both stores are in one
room . The layout of base elements of interior and advertising materials makes customers think that these
stores look like separate business not connected with each other . The coffee shop was supposed to be
built in the inner space , but in fact it became isolated . We were not able to notice that evident fact using
standard analytical approach . Another important thing is that Visualization was useful not only in
identifying the problem , but prompting some tactical solutions that we accomplished in short - time
period .
Next time facing similar challenge I try to apply design thinking approach first as it seems to be more
inspiring , productive and solution - oriented in conditions of uncertainty . It helps to look at the problem
from the different angle and explore the current reality more thoroughly . Starting out by developing a
better understanding of current reality is half the battle .

Challenge and Selection :
Mind mapping is the handy tool which I have to use almost every day in my work as a market researcher and consultant . Mind mapping is a method of identifying trends and make sense of them to drive the useful insights . As a researcher I have to deal with lot of data and try to identify patterns and try to gather useful insights . Sometime data is in abundance and makes perfect sense but sometime its just a mess and nothing comes out of it . Recently I was working on a project for a global client and they came up with a problem of increasing the market size of a particular geography in which they were having 87 % market share in that particular product segment . As they already were the market leaders so they were concerned about the increasing the market size not the market share . They provided us with their internal sales data for that geography and also provided the market search reports which contained all the demographic information of population , consumer behaviour data , when where and how they use the product , their preferences and purchasing habits etc .
Application :
There was lot of data and it was looking like a mess and in the start was looking of no use to us . Now what I started to do there is starting segregating the data given by them in different categories . I segregated the sales data according to geography . Demographic data was already segregated into gender , age group and occupation of the population . I segregated the Consumer behaviour towards the application of the product data according to geography . I kept all the data side by side on my screen and kept on making different combinations of data to see them together and tried to find correlation and understand the patterns . With hours of data crunching and brain storming we came with a list of different ideas which can be used to increase the market size of that particular geography .
Insights and Approach :
Now things became interesting . There was only one way to increase the market size of a geography and that is to increase the consumption in that particular geography . To do that there are different methods like :
1 . Increase the application of the product by introducing new applications of using it 2 . Increasing the size of bottle caps to increase the consumption 3 . Introduce new variants to add new customers 4 . Introduce small packages to add new customers which does not use it more often and need
it in less quantity
5 . One conventional way is through campaigns and advertisement
But in the geography we were working on we ca n’t use a single solution for the whole geography as the data insights said . We found out that in the northern part people us the product once or twice a week so there we suggested to introduce the applications of the product so that they consumer more . In the south the product was advertised using a male actor but the product is mostly used by the female . So we suggested to advertise using female actor which would influence the actual buyer of the product .
In the rest of the part company decided to introduce new variants by understanding the customer needs from market research . This is how using mind mapping helped me in solving a problem which
could have become a mess otherwise . Although I used mind mapping next time I will add some more visualisation tools to make things more clear and easy to understand which could reduce the time we spend and improve our efficiency .

Mind mapping is a graphical way to represent ideas and concepts . It is a visual thinking tool that helps structuring information , helping you to better analyze , comprehend , synthesize , recall and generate new ideas . Just as in every great idea , its power lies in its simplicity . In a mind map , as opposed to traditional note taking or a linear text , information is structured in a way that resembles much more closely how your brain actually works . Since it is an activity that is both analytical and artistic , it engages your brain in a much , much richer way , helping in all its cognitive functions .
A mind map ’s radiant structure directly corresponds to the way our brains store and retrieve information .
A mind map conveys the hierarchy and relationships between individual ideas and enables you to see the big picture .
A mind map makes use of mental triggers ( such as pictures , colors , and connections ) to help your brain memorize things more easily .
The best part : mind mapping does n’t feel like work !
Mind maps are a visual way to organize your thoughts around one topic using words , colors , images and numbers to highlight ideas and draw connections . Invented by Tony Buzan in the 1960s , mind mapping is much more than drawing : It ’s a framework to help you fully think through ideas , and show how topics and ideas are connected and allowing with more flexibility than an outline or list affords .
Mind mapping can be a solo or team activity , and they can be used for all types of tasks : learning , thinking through ideas , strategic planning , mapping out processes or organizing overwhelming amounts of information . I ’ve even come across mind maps made to plan weddings or organize Thanksgiving dinner .
You do n't have to make a mind map — you could just jot a note down on that napkin , or use an outlining app to list the things you 're thinking about . So why mind maps ?
“ Lists always get long , and they assign importance in terms of where the item is on the list , ” explained MeisterLabs co - founder Michael Hollauf . “ If something is further down , it ’s inherently less important . If you have topics that are on a similar level , it ’s hard to show that in a list . Mind maps can reorganize really easily if you decide something belongs to something else . ”
In other words , instead of capturing information linearly by default , mind maps can show – and help you discover – connections between different topics , the way your mind works .
List or outlines can be great for small tasks , but Roberta told me fresh ideas are more likely to pop up when creating a mind map because of the free format . “ When I ’m planning a project , a mind map helps me capture my ideas without having to lay out steps in a linear fashion . I find that a linear list , or even an outline , hems me in and stops me thinking freely . ”
For mind mapping beginners , it can be helpful to have a pro guide your first few maps . " Look for someone who often uses mind maps and ask their opinion , ” Roberta told me . “ This can help to remove blocks to mastering the technique in the early days . ”

Challenge :
We had received a research project from a Government of India Research agency and about ten students worked as team members to carry out the project under my guidance . The aim of the project was to undertake sustainable methods of extracting banana fiber from the outer sheaths of the banana plants that was an agricultural waste . The existing method of extraction was by chemical means and the environmental pollution hazard was high in terms of water body pollution and solid left over after chemical treatment . The agriculturalists were not educated and had been performing these activities based on traditional chemical methods . The effort was directed to test the bio technological method of banana fiber extraction as it was sustainable and to find out the viability and outcome in real time situations . The plan was to explain the process and its outcomes to the farmers and to take pilot test in selected farms before implementation on a large scale . Two weeks was allocated for the study and another one week for testing and validation .
Selection :
The student team members had reviewed literature and they had a few brainstorming sessions about the appropriateness of the design thinking tools and activities for the completion of the project activities . The finally selected the story telling tool for explaining the process followed by the learning launch tool for pretesting the new concept .
Application :
The student team selected ‘ Villupattu ’ a traditional story telling method followed in South India where a message or concept is conveyed to the audience in a traditional singsong manner . This tool was a special rural folk method which helps in reaching out to the rural farmers in their native language . In this method few questions will also be asked to confirm whether the essence of the concept had reached the audience . Every aspect was dealt in a manner that the audience was involved in the script and the message conveyed . The script included the methodology of the new process in comparison to the old method , the benefits of using it and the effectiveness of the process in terms of environmental sustainability . Part of the team members was involved in the recitation of the story and the others contributed to the background music with simple native instruments .
Learning Launch included a demonstration of the process at the harvest site of the banana plantations and 5 farms were selected to carry out the trial . The process had been taken up by the students on the lab scale with the same raw material found in the selected farms . The end product after the chemical and biotechnological extraction process was tested for quality , quantity , cost effectiveness and sustainability . These tests were carried out in the college lab followed by the commercial and Government authorized laboratories to confirm the reliability and validity of the test results . This helped us to confirm that the process was suitable for the selected farms and the same process was to be carried out in the actual farm environment . A biotechnologist from the Department of Bio Technology was also included in this project to help in onsite problems . The enzymes used for the process was given
to them and the experiment was carried out at the harvest site of 3 neighboring farms . The extracted banana fiber was taken for lab and commercial testing . On completion of the process the students conducted a personal interview with the onsite personnel in their native language to verify the correct sequence of the tasks , comfort level of the personnel in carrying out the experiment and whether the process was suited to local conditions .
The second learning launch in the remaining two farms helped to reaffirm the effectiveness of the process and helped to check whether the farmers were able to understand and follow the instructions which plays a vital role in the quality of the end product . The personal interviews conducted this time included questions about understanding the new process and methodology , the results on the environment and surroundings and the feelings of the farmers about the change . Additionally a few stake holders were informed about the change in process and the results to carry out a few more trials before commercialization . The two launches were completed in two weeks and a comparative study was carried out in the next week .
Insight :
The story telling tool helped the students to reach out to the farmers and the onsite personnel in a native folk lore method . The audience was enthralled in the method adopted to convey the message as it was very closely connected to them . We could understand this from their beaming smiles , affirmative nods and their response to the indirect questions reflected during the telling of the tale . The farmers became close to the students and treated them with the locally available beverage and fruits . The reach of the event was evaluated during the actual implementation in the farm .
The learning launch helped our team to identify the basic principles & assumptions underlying the new process and performed trials to test these assumptions . Our assumptions lead to anticipated results ( tested in the labs ) which enabled our stake holders to have a better view about the process and the anticipated benefits . The results also put forth some concerns on the part of the stake holders about the process protocol in the onsite farms . Our student team will have to address these issues and be prepared for the forthcoming launch designs .
Approach :
The student team is equipped with the knowledge and practice of many design thinking tools and activities and the story telling tool for conveying the message followed by the learning launch seemed the best approach to carry our project forward . The hands on experience at the site and the results of the first two launches will help the team to incorporate the essentials for the next launch design before the commercialization of the process . The insight gained and the lessons learnt for reiteration will help them to come to a final protocol which enables a sustainable new process for a better tomorrow . This experience will help them to confirm and reassure any assumption made in the design thinking process before it is put into practice on a large scale .

### Input: Sustainable Banana Fiber Extraction : Story telling & Learning Launch
Challenge :
We had received a research project from a Government of India Research agency and about ten students worked as team members to carry out the project under my guidance . The aim of the project was to undertake sustainable methods of extracting banana fiber from the outer sheaths of the banana plants that was an agricultural waste . The existing method of extraction was by chemical means and the environmental pollution hazard was high in terms of water body pollution and solid left over after chemical treatment . The agriculturalists were not educated and had been performing these activities based on traditional chemical methods . The effort was directed to test the bio technological method of banana fiber extraction as it was sustainable and to find out the viability and outcome in real time situations . The plan was to explain the process and its outcomes to the farmers and to take pilot test in selected farms before implementation on a large scale . Two weeks was allocated for the study and another one week for testing and validation .
Selection :
The student team members had reviewed literature and they had a few brainstorming sessions about the appropriateness of the design thinking tools and activities for the completion of the project activities . The finally selected the story telling tool for explaining the process followed by the learning launch tool for pretesting the new concept .
Application :
The student team selected ‘ Villupattu ’ a traditional story telling method followed in South India where a message or concept is conveyed to the audience in a traditional singsong manner . This tool was a special rural folk method which helps in reaching out to the rural farmers in their native language . In this method few questions will also be asked to confirm whether the essence of the concept had reached the audience . Every aspect was dealt in a manner that the audience was involved in the script and the message conveyed . The script included the methodology of the new process in comparison to the old method , the benefits of using it and the effectiveness of the process in terms of environmental sustainability . Part of the team members was involved in the recitation of the story and the others contributed to the background music with simple native instruments .
Learning Launch included a demonstration of the process at the harvest site of the banana plantations and 5 farms were selected to carry out the trial . The process had been taken up by the students on the lab scale with the same raw material found in the selected farms . The end product after the chemical and biotechnological extraction process was tested for quality , quantity , cost effectiveness and sustainability . These tests were carried out in the college lab followed by the commercial and Government authorized laboratories to confirm the reliability and validity of the test results . This helped us to confirm that the process was suitable for the selected farms and the same process was to be carried out in the actual farm environment . A biotechnologist from the Department of Bio Technology was also included in this project to help in onsite problems . The enzymes used for the process was given
to them and the experiment was carried out at the harvest site of 3 neighboring farms . The extracted banana fiber was taken for lab and commercial testing . On completion of the process the students conducted a personal interview with the onsite personnel in their native language to verify the correct sequence of the tasks , comfort level of the personnel in carrying out the experiment and whether the process was suited to local conditions .
The second learning launch in the remaining two farms helped to reaffirm the effectiveness of the process and helped to check whether the farmers were able to understand and follow the instructions which plays a vital role in the quality of the end product . The personal interviews conducted this time included questions about understanding the new process and methodology , the results on the environment and surroundings and the feelings of the farmers about the change . Additionally a few stake holders were informed about the change in process and the results to carry out a few more trials before commercialization . The two launches were completed in two weeks and a comparative study was carried out in the next week .
Insight :
The story telling tool helped the students to reach out to the farmers and the onsite personnel in a native folk lore method . The audience was enthralled in the method adopted to convey the message as it was very closely connected to them . We could understand this from their beaming smiles , affirmative nods and their response to the indirect questions reflected during the telling of the tale . The farmers became close to the students and treated them with the locally available beverage and fruits . The reach of the event was evaluated during the actual implementation in the farm .
The learning launch helped our team to identify the basic principles & assumptions underlying the new process and performed trials to test these assumptions . Our assumptions lead to anticipated results ( tested in the labs ) which enabled our stake holders to have a better view about the process and the anticipated benefits . The results also put forth some concerns on the part of the stake holders about the process protocol in the onsite farms . Our student team will have to address these issues and be prepared for the forthcoming launch designs .
Approach :
The student team is equipped with the knowledge and practice of many design thinking tools and activities and the story telling tool for conveying the message followed by the learning launch seemed the best approach to carry our project forward . The hands on experience at the site and the results of the first two launches will help the team to incorporate the essentials for the next launch design before the commercialization of the process . The insight gained and the lessons learnt for reiteration will help them to come to a final protocol which enables a sustainable new process for a better tomorrow . This experience will help them to confirm and reassure any assumption made in the design thinking process before it is put into practice on a large scale .

Challenge & Selection :
This tool is helpful in many daily situations of our lives and an amazing way to
make things easier and more efficient . Besides that , mind mapping makes innovation
easier to be applied . I work as a designer in a student association whose mission is
auxiliate in the development of the social sector , personal development of its members
and the awareness of social environmental causes through events , consulting and
incubation .
I often use the mind mapping tool to create more empathy between the
students and our clients . It is really important so we can see many ways to do
something and actually innovate . In the social sector this is so useful , specially because
we have to focus on the people who will benefit from this idea and be aware so we do n’t
get lost with the operation part , focusing too much only on the business side and
forgetting what is the real goal . In that way , I often use maps to be able to create a
journey and focus on each step but not forgetting about the “ bigger ” map .
Application :
I usually start things with mind mapping so we can understand how to create a
good journey for the people who will benefit from this idea . In this student association ,
we work with social impact business . For those people who do n’t know what this is , I will
explain in a very easy way . They are businesses that have social impact but also operate
according to the logic of profit , which is really different from the third sector that people
usually associate when someone talks about the social sector .
In that way , we need to create a journey connected to the social side of the idea
but also think about how we can make profit for the entrepreneur . Therefore , we
extract meaning from data in a way that lets patterns and insights emerge . Patterns and
insights we might otherwise have missed . Usually , we use a Post It or a board to write
the data that we already have and we put the outliers also . Creating a complete mind
map of our client ’s business . Sometimes , we even do that in small areas of the business ,
trying to make it more detailed as possible . Unfortunately , with the crisis caused by the
pandemic , we had to move all of our activities to the online world . In a certain way , that
was good because now we can reach many areas that we could n’t before ( I live in Brazil ,
a very large country and full of different cultures ) but we had to adaptate our methods .
Now we use Miro or even Google Docs to generate mind maps . We usually start
by the name of the business , following by its goal , people in social vulnerability who will
benefit from this , where the profit will come from and who will buy these product or
service ( most of the times , the people who will benefit from this idea are not the same
that will buy the product or service generated by the idea ) . And then we emerge into
these ideas , studying more about each topic . Besides that , many other topics come
from this initial and main topics . In the end , we usually have a really complete mind
mapping of the business .
We have three different areas in this student association : events , consulting and
incubation . I ’m an Incubator Design and we have 20 people working in this area , divided
into three different clients . Each team has 4 Designers and 1 manager , besides the
management team that do n't work directly in project ’s areas . In that way , 5 different
people make the mind map .
Insight & Approach :
Concluding this , I have learned so much from mind maps and this is such a great
tool for work and also on daily problems that we have to face . It is really important so
we can actually understand each step , do not let anything important go by and focus on
the important thing . Also , mind mapping is looking for patterns and insights . We can get
together all data and find patterns , besides having insights that are so important for us and
our stakeholders . Most of the time , it makes us see other ways to do that specific thing ,
innovating and being more successful . Maybe what I think would be nice doing in a different
way is making the mind mapping easier to understand for other people that do n’t have the
same knowledge about the project . In that way , we can see if it makes sense for them , if
they have new ideas that we did n't have and try to have the concern to construct it in a way
that all people can understand .

Challenge
As the Head of a division in what has quickly become a highly competitive marketplace , my team was faced with a unique set of challenges . We had to quickly pivot off of our traditional business model and determine what new areas of opportunities to develop beyond the continued focus of our product pipeline . Our goal was to identify additional spaces within our business segment and quickly start augmenting our business model by taking key strategic bets and validate our assumptions
Selection
We were a team of individuals that had already participated in various Design Thinking activities with the organization . For this particular approach , I determined that Learning Launch would be the most effective mechanism to quickly begin to navigate the various areas we wanted to explore and enter .
Application
We conducted a handful of brainstorming sessions and quickly identified 4 focus areas to test which we felt were the pathways to not only augment the future trajectory of our division , but also lead the way in the industry in a couple of the areas . The intent was to place various bets in multiple areas and to learn fast and build or kill . We introduce projects in the following areas : new product category development , online channel creation , and innovative and creative product design efforts .
All 3 were approached slightly differently . For category development , we did desk research to determine categories which could warrant high value and subsequently discussed with key customers . For online channel creation , we evaluated our pipeline and in parallel identified partners that had already started work in this space and began partnership discussions . Finally , with product design efforts , we brainstormed ideas on what our end customers my need and subsequently presented concepts to the buying teams at our customers .
Insight
The Learning Launch approach was the most effective means for my team to define , evaluate and implement our ideas . But more importantly , we were able to quickly pivot and make adjustments to the approach with the focus on modifying strategy to achieve the desired outcome . The key realization is that we did not clearly define the parameters of what our end goal could be and when and how to kill / drop a project . As a result , a few efforts likely progressed to long .
Approach
This is a very effective approach , however as the team continues to navigate and look to build upon our existing business model , the future efforts will benefit greatly from the learnings to date . With the lessons learned , we will be sure to clearly define what success looks like , but continue to revisit and allow for the strategic drop decision to be taken in a timely manner .

CHALLENGE and SELECTION :
My undergraduation was completed in Psychology majors and my internship was basically
concerned with making people more aware of their mental health as much as their physical
health is important . The major challenge was to make them believe that mental
illnesses / disorders are not incurable rather with the appropriate help , it can be cured well on
time . Also another major challenge was that people are really hesitant to talk about or share
their experiences about mental health which leads to bottled - up emotions within them and
that is were the need for Catharsis comes into picture . At first I was confused as to what
technique or method should be used in order to make people change their mindset and
believe that they can do what they think of .
Thus , when I learnt about Storytelling a design tool , I selected this tool to help people
become more aware of the importance of mental health . Story telling happened to be the
most relevant tool in this regard because it is one such design tool which helps to form
stronger connections with people when they share their experiences in the form of story .
Also when a story is narrated , we are able to connect more with it and thus can easily be
influenced using this method . That is why I selected and applied this in dealing with my
project .
APPLICATION :
Here I narrate a story about how I applied Storytelling as a design tool in my internship . So I created an Instagram page which was based on the concept of Talking cure . It was designed with a view to let its user share their stories in the form of audios or write - ups and share how they have sustained the difficult times and ups and downs in their life . This served a two way purpose , when the storyteller shared their own life story , they felt relieved and less burdened . Also when we listen to an inspiring story , a hormone in our body is released which
makes us more motivated and influences our social behavior . Thus this interface of story - telling led to people discussing more about their mental health .
INSIGHT and APPROACH
By applying this tool , I initially started with telling a story about my own experiences to people and then later provided them a platform to discuss their own experiences . This helped me to convince them better about how storytelling can be used as a powerful tool .
This course provided me an insight about how this tool can help me to connect with more people and also make them more connected .This made me believe that once we are able to convey our ideas in the form of a story , people actually become good listeners and are easily convinced .
I am grateful that it helped me discover a new way of looking at things and provide a better method to make people more aware of the importance of mental health .

Challenge
Currently I am working for a middle size company , which is marketing already for a long time period components in the B2B business . The company has given me the responsibility to grow a new business pillar in the area of information and digitalization technology in order to generate new business opportunities . IT - solutions requiring a complete new skill set , which were based on the major business not necessary . Digitalization innovation requires a lot process analyses of the AS IS situation and the TO BE situation in terms of innovation .
The challenge is , how to work on process innovation in an efficient way . In my case I had a customer who had real pain in the area of claim management and he was looking for idea which should saves dramatically costs . On the other hands , my company was highly interested in a holistic solution , which can be scaled over several customer . Now the challenge was how to tackle the innovation task in most efficient way and a good understanding of all participants .
Selection
In the case above , I have chosen the tool of visualization in order to visualize the customer pain and the current process . With a visualized process , is it much easier to interact with customer and to challenge the as is situation . Furthermore the visualization showing easily the dependencies between all process steps and creating continues discussion between all stakeholders . The process diagram creates a deep understanding of the actual situation ( “ what is ” ) and the customer pain . In the second step the visualization is supporting a lot in defining a “ what if ” scenario with all stakeholders . For the visualization we have mainly used white boards which providing a high flexibility on changes and it support collaborative interaction . Moreover the visualization creating an easy platform to show the added value and benefits between “ what is ” and “ what if ” .
Application
In the first step we have created a group of 5 people which had a very good experience in the customer business in order depict a generic AS IS claim process of our customers . We have used white boards to draw down together in the team the process steps which we are assuming which are might applicable for our customer . The ideas was , at first to confront the customer with our business process analyses in order start a deeper discussion in the TO BE or “ what if ” process . During this exercise , all participants had to contribute to the diagram , by inputs and by creating drawings on the board .

### Input: Example Reflection – Visualization
Challenge
Currently I am working for a middle size company , which is marketing already for a long time period components in the B2B business . The company has given me the responsibility to grow a new business pillar in the area of information and digitalization technology in order to generate new business opportunities . IT - solutions requiring a complete new skill set , which were based on the major business not necessary . Digitalization innovation requires a lot process analyses of the AS IS situation and the TO BE situation in terms of innovation .
The challenge is , how to work on process innovation in an efficient way . In my case I had a customer who had real pain in the area of claim management and he was looking for idea which should saves dramatically costs . On the other hands , my company was highly interested in a holistic solution , which can be scaled over several customer . Now the challenge was how to tackle the innovation task in most efficient way and a good understanding of all participants .
Selection
In the case above , I have chosen the tool of visualization in order to visualize the customer pain and the current process . With a visualized process , is it much easier to interact with customer and to challenge the as is situation . Furthermore the visualization showing easily the dependencies between all process steps and creating continues discussion between all stakeholders . The process diagram creates a deep understanding of the actual situation ( “ what is ” ) and the customer pain . In the second step the visualization is supporting a lot in defining a “ what if ” scenario with all stakeholders . For the visualization we have mainly used white boards which providing a high flexibility on changes and it support collaborative interaction . Moreover the visualization creating an easy platform to show the added value and benefits between “ what is ” and “ what if ” .
Application
In the first step we have created a group of 5 people which had a very good experience in the customer business in order depict a generic AS IS claim process of our customers . We have used white boards to draw down together in the team the process steps which we are assuming which are might applicable for our customer . The ideas was , at first to confront the customer with our business process analyses in order start a deeper discussion in the TO BE or “ what if ” process . During this exercise , all participants had to contribute to the diagram , by inputs and by creating drawings on the board . As we were believing to got a good understanding of the situation , we have started to think about a holistic idea which improves and innovate the process . Also here we have used the method of process diagrams to get a full picture and deep understanding about the inputs and dependencies . And the end we have spread out all the business benefits which might generate with his idea and we have started to challenges the concept with one of our customer .
Insight
In general the tool was helping me and my team mates to work on the task in collaborate way , supported the alignment and provided a deeper understanding of the problem . Before everyone was just talking about the customer problem but everyone has his own perspective to the situation . Base on the visualization we were able to get a great internal alignment on the “ what is ” and we were able to tune the process drawing in a continues iterative way . Moreover the tool was providing a better
understanding about the business idea to all internal and external stakeholders as well was enabling a deeper discussion on the solution . Without this tool we were n’t be able to get a buy in by our stakeholder and the customer . Visualization enables always a better underrating and creates interaction which leads in better results .

I am very convinced , that we would not have got this result without visualization , Next time would take the same tool again but then in combination with other tools like mind maps .

My First Mind - Mapping Session
Challenge
A small group of students and I are in the early stages of founding a new student association from the ground up . We noticed that our campus lacks an association that encourages students to take part in cultural activities and that connects art lovers . However , in order to jump start our organization we need events that are actually relevant to our target customers . So we decided to use a design thinking tool to develop design criteria and learn from our stakeholders .
Selection
We selected mind - mapping , a tool that enables the identification of data insights in a collected data set in order to establish criteria for the idea generation phase . ( University of Virginia , 2015 ) . This was perfect for us as it allowed us to source our stakeholders needs and understand their expectations better . This tool also allowed us to counteract the confirmation bias and identify really relevant criteria .
Application
In order to achieve this we invited a group of student association founders , artists and
students to take part in a mind mapping session . There we presented our limited customer insights , ideas and best practices from similar organizations on other campuses . After showing our stakeholder group the relevant information we invited them to a casual talk to understand what insights they could offer . After the talk we opened up the discussion to the group and presented the group with sticky notes and a white board . We encouraged the generation of notes and then collectively reviewed and grouped the ideas . Lastly , we talked about the clusters that formed and wrote insight statements . It worked very well and was applied effectively .
Insight
Through the session we realized that multiple criteria are very important for our events in order to ensure growth . First of all , we concluded that students would most likely attend if the events were free . Second of all , it became clear that the events have to be flexible in time and fit with the student schedule . This means the events should take place in the afternoon and early evening . Lastly , the events should have a very heavy social component , as with
COVID it would bring a lot of value to students if we facilitated networking . The next steps will be organizing test events and then getting feedback on them . The goal is to get multiple hit events that we can repeat monthly . This session really made me realize how powerful design thinking can be . It allowed us to avoid mistakes before we made them .
Approach
Next time I would use the same tool in a similar case , but I would invite more potential customers from the target group as I learned that they had the most valuable insights . However , in general the tool worked very well and I would not change much .
Overall , this tool was incredible for getting new insights . However , for a small operation such as ours it is a lot of work to organize a session . Nevertheless , the ideas and design criteria we generated in the event will be of much use in the future . Furthermore , my team and I are trying to implement the design thinking culture in the association , so that when we leave university the design thinking spirit can live on in the organization . I am very excited to try out the learning launch with our events next .

They focus on commercial real estate investments , as the company believes that client demand for such investments is high . The company ’s clients are high net worth individuals and institutions based in the Middle East . They have three European - based employees , all senior executives who had previously worked together at a successful Middle East - based investment bank . The executives bring varied expertise to the company , a plethora of contacts across the Middle East , Europe and the US , and many years of experience among them . The executives believe the company has excellent access to deal flow . Challenge After one year in business , the company had not completed any investments . Management thought this was due to number of reasons , and noted that they had obtained multiple client mandates to bid on several opportunities . The executive team described their frustration and asked for assistance in identifying insights and possible solutions to complete investments with their client base . Selection For this assignment I selected the Learning Launch Tool . This tool allows the user to test ideas in the marketplace , preferably in a fast and inexpensive way . I selected this tool as a means to help the executives test a new business idea ; this tool allows them to test their hypothesis and assumptions around key customer needs . I understood that this tool would help the company validate certain beliefs about investor demands . Additionally , it would allow the company to uncover any unmet or unarticulated customer needs , which they had not previously explored . Application I reviewed material gathered in interviews with the executive team . According to the team , one reason they had not completed any real estate investments was , “ Current real estate prices are high in the locations where our clients want to invest . Our clients , especially certain institutional clients , seek cost generative , high yielding investments , which are very difficult to source in an expensive market . ” I proposed that the company test the hypothesis : “ Clients only want deals that meet specific , measurable outcomes ; customer needs are only return driven and they do not appreciate other benefits apart from measurable outcomes . ” To test this assumption , informed by the Learning Launch Tool , I asked the executives if they had considered investments that would bring great publicity and goodwill to their clients , even if it did not match their return requirements . Further , I advised the company to pursue a small investment using non - traditional financial technology ( “ fintech ” ) solutions during the investment process . During the interview process , management noted that one of their key clients was based in a country that was pushing its financial sector to innovate in the fintech space . The rational for this test was that executing such an investment would generate a very positive response from government and local press for their client . Therefore , the
hypothesis about whether or not the client would modify their investment criteria for the intangible benefits could be tested . The executives at the company responded positively to approach I suggested . They presented the idea to their client , who was also very interested in exploring it . They are scheduled to discuss the idea further with the client and explore a potential pilot program . Insight and Approach It will take more time to fully understand if the solution presented for this particular challenge will be effective . Evidence that the company and their client want to pursue the solution reflects positively on the tool . However , to gain an even better understanding of why the company has not executed other investments would require further identification , unpacking and testing of assumptions . This tool is very powerful and effective for this challenge . I can see how it could be applied to many types of difficult business problems . However , I believe there are at least two key areas to ensure success with the tool . The first , as Professor Ed Hess discussed , is confirmation bias . The desire to see one ’s hypothesis proven correct is high . To mitigate this risk , the professor suggested a multi - functional team inclusive of a skeptic to work on the challenge . This is something I would like to incorporate into the process next time . The second way to gain a better outcome is a well- designed , systemic approach to ensure that an exhaustive list of assumptions is challenged . From this assignment and the application of the Learning Launch tool , I have learned that one must quickly test and critique apparent observations and industry norms to get new answers . Applying this tool to a specific challenge allows one to continually peel back the layers and test assumptions to arrive at more meaningful solutions in a quick , efficient and often low cost manner .

As a result of digital disruption and increased connectivity , our industry is in a significant state of flux . Our clients ’ needs are changing both in terms of the qualities which they value as well as the particular skills and services that they need to acquire to help solve their challenges . As a business , our challenge is to ensure we are agile enough to service the changing needs of our clients and ensure we are adaptable and resilient in the face of uncertainty . Out of this , my challenge is to help develop a new way of working with our clients that differentiates us from our competitors and enables us to be adaptable in an uncertain future . In order to address this challenge , I have been working with the strategy team using a design thinking approach to further understand this challenge and consider a different future . Selection I chose to use the storytelling tool to help us convey a new way of working with our clients . I chose storytelling as I thought it would be an effective way to demonstrate a possible future way of working and , hopefully , get our clients excited about this future . As per the lecture video on storytelling , we need to “ help the audience understand that the current state is more dangerous than any other possibility out there ” . Our strategy team had already undertaken a lot of work in this space to design a differentiated way of working with our clients . We had undertaken some secondary research and ethnographic interviews with specific clients and stakeholders to understand their unique challenges and what they value . We had used this information to ask “ what if ” and brainstorm possible future scenarios and had developed a rough napkin pitch . We had an idea that we thought would help us to reduce our clients risk , increase trust and move us “ up the value chain ” to becoming key partners rather than having a transactional relationship . We were now ready to test with clients and find out “ what wows ” . To try and rally the group behind this different way of working , storytelling seemed to be the best tool . Application To develop our story , we gathered as a team . We looked over our napkin pitch ‘ future way of working ’ and realised that it needed to be more user - centred . We needed to frame our story from our client ’s perspective in order to demonstrate why this approach was a good idea . As per the lecture video on storytelling , “ a good story is designed for the audience and follows a clear sequence of events ” . As a team we worked on our story . We developed a narrative and used PowerPoint to show some very basic , stick figure visuals , that would help to illustrate our concepts . The stories were written from the perspective of a character who represented our client and we used the project lifecycle to provide a clear sequence of events that demonstrate our future way of working . We wanted to share our story with different clients within the built environment , so we developed our base story , but we tailored it slightly to each of the specific clients . Our story needed to connect to the emotions and values of the client for which we are trying to deliver value . So , the hospital we were building in story the story with client one , became a shopping centre with client two ; however the key elements and structure of the story remained constant . Our stories went over quite well and elicited honest , open feedback from our clients . Most comments were positive and aligned to our story , but we also received feedback on specific elements that client ’s would change . Insight The feedback and reactions that we got from our clients were invaluable . I believe that in telling a story about a fictional character , and engaging our clients on an emotional level , we got deeper , more honest insights than we would have got by just asking questions . What was most eye opening to me was how effective the story was in illustrating our approach to our clients . They completely understood what we were saying and why . This was much more effective than a traditional written proposal and I believe we should be using storytelling more often to pitch our ideas .
Approach I believe that storytelling was the most appropriate tool for our purpose . We needed test with our clients if they liked what we had come up with as a different way of working . However , I believe that our story was too long . Next time I would focus the story in on a specific element of our future way of working – or focus it around the central theme , which in this case was partnering . Despite this , our insights and outcomes were positive . The best thing for us to do now is refine our future way of working based on the feedback we got on our story , and develop a learning launch . If we can create a small experiment to work differently with a client on a project we will be able to test very quickly “ what works ” as is discussed in week 4 of the course .

I believe that in telling a story about a fictional character , and engaging our clients on an emotional level , we got deeper , more honest insights than we would have got by just asking questions . What was most eye opening to me was how effective the story was in illustrating our approach to our clients . They completely understood what we were saying and why . This was much more effective than a traditional written proposal and I believe we should be using storytelling more often to pitch our ideas .
Approach I believe that storytelling was the most appropriate tool for our purpose . We needed test with our clients if they liked what we had come up with as a different way of working . However , I believe that our story was too long . Next time I would focus the story in on a specific element of our future way of working – or focus it around the central theme , which in this case was partnering . Despite this , our insights and outcomes were positive . The best thing for us to do now is refine our future way of working based on the feedback we got on our story , and develop a learning launch . If we can create a small experiment to work differently with a client on a project we will be able to test very quickly “ what works ” as is discussed in week 4 of the course .

I am a member of an organization ’s analytics team and we had to come with an action plan to improve organizations data & insights consumption for better decision making , thus making the decisions more objective . The project scope included 5 people in the team with diverse backgrounds and skill sets to create a roadmap and feature list for a product which would promote the use of data in everyday decision making . We also want this tool to cascade and give a unified view of the key performance indicators from the CXO to the operation manager at the same time give enough degrees of freedom to allow for data exploration at operational levels . We knew there were existing solutions but were not widely adopted so we sensed there were hidden challenges which we wanted to uncover and solve with the new product .
Application
We applied the visualization tool [ Module1]and the mind mapping tool [ Module 3]as our primary motivation was to get a holistic view of the problem space
We start this process by drawing a problem map based on current understanding . Each of us are from different backgrounds and we referred to variety of sources – existing dashboards , training materials , documentation , SOP documents , SLAs etc . We collaboratively mind mapped all the problem areas we could uncover from our research
We also conducted interviews with different stakeholders at different levels to get their points of view and pain areas . For each of the areas we listed what was needed for a customer and what process enabled or blocked this to have both points of view – the need and the constraint . With this information collated , we sketched broad personas for stakeholders and for each persona we used jam session with the stakeholders to help close any open ends in the problem space .
Some example personas were
– IT function leader - Bob , who wanted prescriptive suggestions and does not want to explore insights himself
-Operational Manager - Mark , who was very hands on and wanted the freedom to explore and play around with the data
Each group went to small group discussions to list down and we collated all problems on the jam board
Once we had all the problems listed we collated them to a unique list of issues the product is to solve and validated these back with the stakeholders to agree and prioritize activities . Then the implementation started which made the roll out and adoption much more seamless and was welcomed by the stakeholders .
Insights
The problem mapping and prototyping sessions were very useful as
1 – They created a visual for the problems and opened new ways of looking at the issue at hand
2 – Opened new ideas due to small group brainstorming exercises
3 - By doing this sessions we uncovered some key problems which we as a team have not listed before . It also helped us validate some of our assumptions
4 - The team and the stakeholders were usually open to reprioritization of tasks making the implementation planning much more collaborative and seamless . It was a shared learning as the stakeholders were educated on some of the process & tool constraints so they were more sensitive to the reprioritization making the whole activities far less rigid than initially hypothesized
Approach
It ’s a relatively new approach in the organization & we used a couple of tools but using the entire design thinking approach with the 4 questions will be useful
Also , With challenging times these days , the whole approach is being rethought from a digital execution perspective – virtual jam boards , brainstorming sessions , collaborative mind mapping are some of the options we are considering for the second iteration of this exercise due to start next month

of employees . Employees face challenge in understanding English language . There are different business lines that organization has ventured into . There are multiple products of different business lines in the organization . The challenge is to ensure that employees / learners understand all products , processes and proposition , by method of virtual / classroom training . Simply Power Point Presentations are not enough for employees to sell , content needs to be simplified . Stake holders expect that participants should apply learnings in their day to day work
2 . Selection : To address above challenge I used Visualization tool . Visualization is in every step
of Design Thinking process . Use of videos , pictures and graphics , helped in clarity of thought and also design trainings programs to ensure better learning experience for all participants . It helped me to go to the grass - root level to understand challenges faced by employees to perform their jobs in a better way .
3 . Application : To apply Visualization tool , I started working on training materials and content
which was used for training employees . At first , I addressed the language problem : from English language I simplified the content to native language . Then we incorporated Pictures / Graphics / Videos in the training materials . I changed our training methodology from lecture to a more experiential way of learning . Thus , Visualization helped at every stage of training . To ensure training effectiveness it was important to incorporate Role play and activities which employees could relate to when performing their job .
4 . Insight : Visualization is a great tool when it comes to being Creativ . Lot of problems are
addressed when we use creativity our out of the box thinking . The insight gained was that Visualization helped in taking an al- together a new approach and it simplified the learning process for participants . This helped me gaining more confidence from Stakeholders .
5 . Approach : Next time I would try to use different tool , Story telling . Story telling is a great tool

Challenge
I work in digital consulting , specifically with my teams we identify IT problems inside a company and propose feasible solutions to solve them . Great part of our work is gathering data and information from inside the company trough different methods ( interviews , documents , spread sheets , etc . ) and then using it to identify problems and inefficiencies . This process can be considered as the “ what is ? ” of design thinking , and it is crucial to achieve good solutions .
Selection
With my team , I use mind mapping as a tool to put all the information we gather so that we can have a better understanding of the situation we are working on . That way , I can grasp both the bigger picture and the important details that we can not miss when designing the solution to the problem we want to solve . The process of constructing the mind map is a team effort and it allows team members to share all the information they have that their other teammates do not . This way , mind mapping allows us to put together all the dots of the “ what is ? ” together so that we can start working on the “ what if ? ” .
Application
In one case we had to gather information from complex processes for an Oil and Gas company that was looking to digitalize their operations . We conducted interviews with the managers of all the different departments and gathered big picture data . Then we interviewed the engineers that work in the field and gathered specific information regarding crucial processes . Finally , we collected financial , technological , and business documentation the company had and analyzed it . By the end , we had a large quantity of vital information that we put together as a mind map on a wall at our offices .
Insights
We were able to understand the company work and business operations both from a big picture and detailed way . This allowed us to find problems regarding IT that if solved would have a big impact on the companies ’ revenues . Also , mind mapping allowed us to show the problem to our client in a visual way and to explain the project to a consultant that joined us mid project . Finally , we could build the solutions considering the “ what if ” and the implications they could have on the client ’s business .
Approach
The main thing I would change next time I make a mind map , would be to start the mind mapping process from the beginning of the information collection . This makes the whole process easier and allows you to see the missing information you need . Also , it saves time because you don´t need to go all over the information again to see where it fits on the mind map .

Story telling enables to understand the problems and display the problem in a manner of top - down approach i.e , by substituting the main problem into solvable smaller problems and funneling the solutions through pro ’s and con ’s . With no more in the hands of people than an technological marvel - like a light bulb that could be switched on and off with a message . With the production cost of solar panels dropping and mobile panels rising its way to top , Villagers in their everyday life need electricity for like powering their tractor for plowing or their generator for watering the crops etc . So like this problem farmers face many more , so breaking a massive problem into smaller helps a lot . As nowadays farmers have a lot of problems like locust attacks and flodding and soil erosion . Application : I have a story about farming . Observing villagers in their everyday life and talking to them and surveying their localities . I have concluded that farmers need lots of upgrades and tech to support their needs of farming like tractors or motors etc , and they need a lot of electricity and the potential use of mobile solar panels . The only setback or disadvantage was that lack of maintenance infrastructure . So the starting point of maintenance is the systems installation on the roof of the house . So when building a house , people pick up the material needed at markets and transport it themselves the last few kilometers to their homes . Because rural area like villages that are far from a main city or the service centre are far away then the needy farmers and the villages do n’t even have gps or delivery option so as in an analogy , people can sell their product at informal marketplaces and customers take the components and the required maintenance products to their homes where they can meet the service technician who then assembles and installs the maintenance parts . Insight & Approach : The field experiment is ongoing . Only the future will show whether a solar powered tractor for plowing or a motor for extracting water . So I told this story to my friends and teachers 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 change a life a lot . This course made me see this as a tool in a new way . When I ’ve done it , it was really new but now I can prepare ahead and think of stories that will assist me in presenting my ideas and best illuminate them .

The challenge was a development of research project proposal . The tool that has been used by my team before propose of new research project proposal was the tool of Mind Mapping . Mind mapping is the tool that can be used in the exploration of “ What is ” stage . At this stage we have a lot of information and data like the data from the literature review ( journal/ datasheet - technical ) , customer requirement ( marketing team ) and our limitation ( resources ) ; it can be easily communicated using mind mapping tool before it can be past to “ what if ” stage . The goal is to establish a “ wow ” criteria for the “ What if ” stage . I and my team usually used a mind mapping software available in the market . We select mind mapping tool because it was a creative , very visual & engaging tool .
Application
Once we get requirement from customer we are first brainstorm the idea using mind mapping tool . The 3 main cluster information and data of customer requirement getting from marketing team , resources getting form project management team and technical info / data getting form research team were first laying out using mind mapping software . Any idea , suggestion or opinion ( insight of each cluster ) from team members will be considered and linked using the mind mapping tool until the we get a consensus on the design criteria . By using this tool , it helps us to link or communicate between all data or information that we gathered before . It also produced a structured/ info and can be easily presented and understood .
Insight & Approach
Some example of insights that we are getting by applying the tools was :
1 . Different method or approach ( more than one ) is suggested to meet the customer
requirement : requires simple experiment to prove the best method
2 . Resources limitation : develop understanding with another research team for sharing
resources
3 . Customer requirements : consensus criteria/ approach can be achieved
The mind mapping gives the team member a structured info or data for a discussion that allows them to share their perspectives and develop insights into potential root causes of their problems . Next time a sticky note and cupboard approach can be done in order to maximize the involvement of team member .

Challenge
&
Selection
My
challenge
every
day
is
explaining
to
our
clients
( from
a
communication
agency ) ,
who
are
different
kind
of
companies
( from
restaurants
to
gardening
or
fashion
business ) ,
which
ideas
we
have
for
their
projects ,
and
of
course
their
needs .
It
is
so
complicated
to
expose
our
ideas
that
come
from
people
who
studied
communication
to
people
who
studied
and
worked
for
a
long
time
in
business
and
economics .
The
main
concern
for
them
is
to
achieve
results
and
for
them
is
more
difficult
to
start
with
a
more
innovation
project .
May
be ,
this
is
because
not
everybody
explains
the
ideas
so
clearly .
For
this
reason ,
we
must
find
a
way
they
can
understand
our
ideas .
For
example ,
for
better
understanding ,
one
of
these
challenges
can
be
a
presentation
of
the
process
of
an
event .
So
I
choose
this
tool
because
I
think
that
the
best
option
to
do
it
is
using
the
visualization
tool .
Moreover ,
it
is
so
useful
to
show
clearly
these
thoughts
that
are
in
our
minds
and
expose
to
other
people
in
a
visualization
mode .
It
helps
us
to
create
visual
images
from
what
we
talk
about
and
it
allows
for
us ,
like
we
could
see
in
the
video
of
visualization
tools ,
to
make
it
tangible
and
concrete
by
drawing
a
picture ,
taking
a
photo
or
making
a
map .
Application
If
we
think
about
how
to
present
the
process
of
an
event ,
the
application
of
the
visualization
tool
will
be
like
this :
first
of
all
we
have
to
explore
and
try
to
imagine
spaces
and
situations
where
stakeholders
could
be
comfortable .
In
this
part
we
are
trying
to
have
a
general
idea
of
how
the
event
could
develop
( having
in
mind
the
main
objectives
of
the
event ) .
When
we
have
all
different
kind
of
ideas ,
it
will
be
the
moment
to
start
to
develop
all
these
ideas
into
something
more
concrete
and
visual .
So
we
have
to
find
a
way
to
create
it
visual .
We
can
use
drawings ,
photographs ,
logos ,
maps
or
any
kind
of
visual
things
that
helps
to
show
and
explain
the
idea .
After
all
of
this ,
we
take
all
this
stuff
and
start
to
generate
a
visual
idea ,
in
other
words ,
we
start
to
develop
the
prototype
of
the
event .
For
example ,
we
can
show
the
different
spaces
from
an
event
where
the
people
could
go
or
the
activities .
The
best
option
is
to
distribute
in
groups
and
show
the
relation
between
them
to
finally
understand
how
the
event
could
go .
This
tool
allows
us
to
present
a
structured
idea
where
are
all
the
elements
needed
to
make
real
an
event .
Insight
Using
this
tool
helped
me
to
develop
different
ways
to
explain
concepts
in
a
more
visual
way
and
make
it
possible
to
understand
those
ideas
to
other
people .
It
is
also
a
way
to
clearly
explain
an
idea
and
show
what
is
the
relation
between
the
different
elements
of
it .
Moreover ,
this
tool
helped
me
to
think
in
a
nonverbal
way
and
each
new
challenge
I
correct
the
worst
thing
of
the
last
project .
So
is
a
way
that
I
try
to
only
improve ,
and
get
better
results
from
the
last
one .
And
it
is
not
only
useful
for
the
challenges
in
business
or
projects ,
this
tool
it
is
so
useful
in
a
personal
way ,
to
get
explain
better
your
ideas ,
to
be
clearer .
Approach
I
think
that
I
will
use
this
tool
in
different
moments
of
the
design
process .
I
think
that
is
so
useful
to
explain
things
to
your
team ,
to
the
clients
and
to
stakeholders
too .
So
use
it
as
much
as
possible
to
understand

and

Mind mapping is essentially a non - linear form of outlining . The idea is to make an organically associated diagram of words , concepts , ideas , tasks , decisions , or other information , and to link individual items as their associations demand . Mind maps can be used to generate ideas , represent complex ideas and relationships , classify related items , and to assist one 's thinking , study , writing , and decision making .
The power of mind maps lies in the way they more accurately represent the way humans
think . They allow people to arrange elements intuitively , according their importance and as they arise . Items can be classified and grouped instantly and easily . Meanwhile the mind mapper and others can keep an overview of the entire map constantly in sight .
A very basic outline of how to create and use mind maps follows .
• Start by writing or drawing a main idea or the subject of the problem at hand in the center of a writing surface , the larger the better .
• As related ideas occur , represent them at points around the main idea and connect them to the main idea with lines .
• Continue to add ideas as they occur and connect them to each other appropriately .

Background In my profession , storytelling is one of the most important tools for shaping powerful and engaging messages . I work as a copywriter at an advertising agency in Sweden .
One of our latest assignments was for a shoe retail company here in Scandinavia . The task was to re- position their brand so that it would better match an increasingly changing world and a younger target group . At the same time , they wanted us to evaluate a new strategy they had formed - and if we thought it was the right way to go - make this strategy more communicatively available .
Challenge
The new strategy was formulated " Everyday Shoe Fashion " – and although it was right in meaning - it was not an expression that could engage and ignite its audience . Our challenge , therefore , was to convince our client to use a more exciting message in order to achieve the goal .
Selection
To create a saying that could work as a cause and igniter we chose the story telling tool . This allowed us to focus on the people in the process and their emotional experience . With a story driven approach , we would bring employees together and make them work in the same direction . From a consumer perspective it gave us the opportunity to stand out from competition and build loyalty as well as “ brand love ” .
Insights
As a starting point we considered and investigated the company 's target group – consisting of trendy consumers who sought constant renewal . After some research and interviewing we realized that this group of individuals most of all wanted new impressions , experiences and a sense of fast fashion to feel attracted to our offer . It became clear to us that , in order to inspire and tickle the consumers desire , we needed to create our own fashion arena and invite them there – regardless if it was our stores , the web site or a temporary meeting place . Application We summarized our insights in one strong sentence – " Just walk in " - with the short supplement " Welcome to our arena . Today it is yours . ” By doing so we wanted to express the simple fact that an arena is nothing without its audience . Our stores , web site and other appearances become truly alive when customers come to visit . At the same time , we ’re the ones providing the most interesting place to be , by constantly presenting new fashion and exciting happenings . It ’s easy , inspiring and fun to visit us . There ’s always a reason to stop by .
To bring the story to life and engage the employees , we proved how our message " Just walk in " could be applied on several levels , with a similar story but a different angle .
1 . With emotional and story driven commercials on an image - building level 2 . With thematized fashion campaigns on a middle level 3 . With sales - driven messages on a tactical level , without losing the passion in our story
Furthermore , we showed how the message “ Just walk in ” could be varied endlessly and how we would talk about our arena in different contexts . What then happened was that the staff quickly took the expression to their hearts and started using it in their daily work . By talking in terms of fashion arena and being the one inviting to it , their work became consistent and successful . It also became clearer to consumers what the company was standing for . But this is still an ongoing process . Approach Since our client had a clear vision of the target group and the strategy had already been decided , we felt that mind mapping the customer journey was unnecessary . However , for describing how our message could be applied on different levels we used the visualization tool by describing a marketing pyramid with different levels ( see Approach ) . The assignment is still ongoing , and we plan to do a small - scale test by implementing one of our ideas in real life – a kind of learning launch . Then we will be able to see how well the concept works and what can be improved .

Our stores , web site and other appearances become truly alive when customers come to visit . At the same time , we ’re the ones providing the most interesting place to be , by constantly presenting new fashion and exciting happenings . It ’s easy , inspiring and fun to visit us . There ’s always a reason to stop by .
To bring the story to life and engage the employees , we proved how our message " Just walk in " could be applied on several levels , with a similar story but a different angle .
1 . With emotional and story driven commercials on an image - building level 2 . With thematized fashion campaigns on a middle level 3 . With sales - driven messages on a tactical level , without losing the passion in our story
Furthermore , we showed how the message “ Just walk in ” could be varied endlessly and how we would talk about our arena in different contexts . What then happened was that the staff quickly took the expression to their hearts and started using it in their daily work . By talking in terms of fashion arena and being the one inviting to it , their work became consistent and successful . It also became clearer to consumers what the company was standing for . But this is still an ongoing process . Approach Since our client had a clear vision of the target group and the strategy had already been decided , we felt that mind mapping the customer journey was unnecessary . However , for describing how our message could be applied on different levels we used the visualization tool by describing a marketing pyramid with different levels ( see Approach ) . The assignment is still ongoing , and we plan to do a small - scale test by implementing one of our ideas in real life – a kind of learning launch . Then we will be able to see how well the concept works and what can be improved .

Challenge & Selection Storytelling is a great tool that I use frequently . I work in the marketing department of a big firm . I also work in a social responsibility project . With this project , I gain the opportunity to help all people from the young to the elderly , and a chance to work with them . Most of these people encounters many difficulties in their lives and they need support , inspiration and awareness to overcome these difficulties . Therefore ; I took place in such project to inspire , raise awareness and to support them . Many of the young complain and have various problems about education . I spend a lot of time with the young for them to overcome these problems and I tell stories from my life that I hope them to shape their lives . The elderly become happy to speak with me when I share my stories with them and they share their stories , then we argue about how to overcome the difficulties . I struggle to make this social responsibility project even more beneficial and grow and spread by combining the light in the eyes of the young and the experience of the old with stories from my life and telling new stories . Application I have a story about using storytelling . After some problems occurred in some parts of the firm I worked , our firm could n’t achieve the progress we wanted . The board manager decided to set a meeting and he said in the meeting that he considers to fire the employees in the departments that are failing so the firm could continue to develop . And there I was thinking that it would be better to talk to everybody one by one and understand the problem . For this reason I decided to tell a story about the social responsibility project I had been working in . The parents of a group of students started to worry when the students ’ grades had decreased . At first , the parents got angry with their children , then they thought that the problem is the teachers and the other students . But they skipped a point . None of them asked their children why was the situation like that . Some of the students were friends of mine that I worked with in the social responsibility project . After I talked to them it was understood that this problem showed up in result of the pressure of the families to the students . Insight & Approach The conference room buried in silence at this part of the story . Then I proceeded with the rest of the story . After the families had understood the situation , not only they started to communicate with their children much better , but also their expectations differed . And the students could use their full potential since they no longer felt pressure . Thus both the students gained their self confidence back because their grades started to increase , and the families were happy with this situation . This story of mine had a big impact on the board of management and the board manager . And alterations were made in firm regulations . Hence the employees were happier and more productive for they felt pressure no more , also the manager was happier because this condition caused the firm to grow faster .
A story changed so many things and resulted in many great things . This course contributed me to see the storytelling as a tool . From now on , by using this tool more effectively to present my ideas , I can tell new stories and continue to enlighten people with these ideas . At first , I did n’t think that this tool would be so efficient but I got a promotion thanks to the new perspectives this course had given me . I thank this course for everything it has contributed to me .

Today , I work with Orange Business Services as a project manager . Recently during the COVID crisis , we were faced with huge increases in traffic in different locations , we are present in more than 160 countries , and capacity managers , as well as senior management , were faced with a huge number of daily checks that needed to be done on a daily basis . My boss presented me with a project , to serve our senior management with some application that would automate the daily checks and facilitate their decision making . When faced with big increases in traffic , our senior management had to make the decision to upgrade the equipment . These upgrades could cost millions of dollars , and the investments had to be placed strategically . The first idea I had was to choose an agile framework , but with Scrum or Kanban , there is the need to have user involvement on a regular basis , which was not possible , since our senior management can only be available for very short meetings , and far in between .
Selection
After having the first meeting with our CTO and CEO , it was clear that needed automation of these too many checks , but they did n’t really know what they wanted . The meeting was short , and I could n’t get much information other than their need for an application to help them make decisions . I recorded the meeting , listened to it a couple dozen times . After sharing the recording with all internal stakeholders and business experts , I organized a meeting and used the technique of creating a Klaxoon board ( tool for collaborative intelligence ) to visualize the 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 , data sources and relationships between elements to consider when identifying pain points and opportunities for automation .
Application
I started the process by creating a Klaxoon board ( we are a multi - national team spread around the world ) . The board contained many sections , the first one was dedicated to breaking the ice , so different emojis where everyone would put their name to give us an overview of their mood . The second section was dedicated to describing the current situation , what each stakeholder is doing to check the traffic status on a daily basis , a second section to enumerate the different data sources , and a third one to identify the pain points we have today . After that , I divided the participants into smaller groups to go through each subject and draw what could be a good dashboard or scorecard for them , that would allow them to check the status of different network elements in different locations quickly , but also efficiently . After gathering all the scorecards drafted by our stakeholders , we came back together , the whole group , and started discussing each other 's drawings and trim down the fat , in order to keep the most relevant ones . I gave each participant the ability to vote for their top 6 scorecards . After conducting the vote , it was decided to keep only the 6 most voted for visualizations that we can present to our senior management , within an automated Power BI application .
Insight & Approach
The main lesson identified during this exercise with the big group of all stakeholders and then the smaller groups , is that people work better with visualization that helps them convey their ideas It was also important to remind different participants of the main purpose , that the application wo n’t serve the operational level , but it should be an executive one for senior management , so avoiding the ‘ too much technicality ’ trap was a must . After identifying the different most useful scorecards to be put in the dashboard / application , the development was smooth , and we organized weekly meetings to synchronize and make necessary adjustments . The project was delivered in three months and our senior management was very satisfied with the results , they have been consulting the application every day first thing in the morning since then .

Challenge & Selection :
I am working as a software tester in an international corporation . It is proven , that data visualization help humans to better understand complex information as well as enhance memory . When testing software , one of my biggest challenges was being able to visualize the relevant data . I often feel stuck due to the overload of information . As you might know , software testing includes many different aspects such as test plans and strategies , test cases , app features as well as test scenarios . There are often too many documents to read through and process before I can actually start testing my software .
After doing some online research , I stumbled upon mind mapping and its various benefits : the visual nature of a mind map often helps to recall information better as it turns a long list of monotonous information into a colorful , memorable and highly organized diagram . In addition , the simplicity of mind mapping allows capturing ideas more quickly as mind maps work in line with the brain´s natural way of doing things .
Application :
With the above - mentioned benefits in mind , I have used mind maps to better understand the scope of applications I was working on to quickly visualize the testing efforts required . From my perspective , it has been a simple way to share how software - testing activities are going to be performed . The simplicity of mind mapping gives the software tester as well as the entire testing team and stakeholder clarity and visibility of the testing activities . Moreover , mind mapping also homes in on important information regarding the applications quality status for instance and can be very helpful in identifying gaps and bottlenecks in the product as well as in the product development process .
Insight & Approach :
After successfully using the tool , it is fair to summarize that Mind Mapping is a great tool for software - testing teams who are big on flexibility , continuous improvement and collaboration . Mind Mapping has helped to improve test coverage , for example , as Mind Maps are easy to create and maintain . Moreover , Mind Maps make my standups and QA reporting sessions shorter and less painful because they are a great communication tool . Summarizing the above , mind maps are a great visual thinking tool that helps structuring information , generating new ideas and providing an easier way to analyze information in my testing activities .

Storytelling is an important and great tool to delve into different concepts and knowledge based on the experiences of others . This is very important to be able to open the mind and understand the reality of what we can achieve . I often work with clients who have their own experiences and perspectives , in which , through narrative , we can all engage in a goal with different ideas . In addition , it is very important for me to have the opportunity to interact with different sectors that clearly expand the experiences , which serve as a support or starting point to put myself in the client 's shoes and feel and live the " pains " that they have , In the same way , try to lead clients to solutions to their problems with a good story adapted to their needs .
With clients , I share stories of experiences already obtained with the experience of other clients , thus , an added value is given so that great ideas of value are generated , I also use their stories , perspectives and contributions in the context of my story to determine your goals , and we sometimes use stories to better understand your interests and thought processes .
Request
I have a story of a client who wants to take his business into the era of digital innovation , based on what he wants , I start to tell him about stories of similar businesses and everything they have gone through and lived to get where they are , Giving them context of the experiences that they must have to implement the technological tools that they would like , in order to be more competitive in the market , I speak to them in addition to being able to adapt everything to their needs , to be able to do pilot tests and determine the effectiveness of the implementations .
Perspective and focus
By telling the story , I was able to get brainstorming from all stakeholders , which served to better target the customer 's specific need , however , it was also necessary to focus these ideas based on the key questions to have the necessary foundations with the that the final prototypes are created , that is , collecting true data that gives us an effective result .
I must also recognize that it is important to delve into the questions that must be asked next time , so that the ideas generated broaden our eyes , thus being able to have greater functional resources and turn them into success stories .
This course made me see this as a tool in a very broad way , in order to understand the importance of knowing how to focus the objectives that are wanted for business and even for personal life itself , now I can prepare in advance and think about stories that They will help to present my ideas and the best to illuminate them .

Challenge I am a member of a supermarket chain ’s marketing department who has been tasked with designing a unique in - store experience that will absolutely delight customers and build lasting loyalty . The project includes IT personnel together with he marketing team and is expected to run for 2 months . Selection We interviewed and observed shoppers over a considerable period of time , observed the customer journey , also observing our competitors , we found that customers wanted to feel more connected to the suppliers of their produce and an in - store experience the could n’t find elsewhere . One winning idea was an in - store milk dispenser with clear glass milk bottles , customers fill the bottles with single origin high quality milk , with details of the farms and cows that produced it and assurance they received a fair price . We decided to use the learning launch as a tool to test our concept with real customers in - store . A learning launch is ( 1)‘a small experiment that tests your new idea in the real marketplace . ’ ( 2)‘The purpose is to learn then improve . ’
Application Our first launch focused on creating a section in the supermarket and placing a milk dispenser in - store with clear glass milk bottles where shoppers would fill the bottles with single origin high quality milk with details of the farms and cows that produced it and assurance they received a fair price . We observed how shoppers interacted in the section , This process helped us better understand our market , shopper liked the idea and the feeling they got as they shopped . We realised that we had a unique edge by connecting with customers hearts and minds , so in our second launch we added a meat section and observed shoppers to see if there were any gaps , perhaps issues we had not been able to pick up on our first launch . We then conducted interviews with the shoppers to understand their experiences and to find out if there were different views or concerns second time around . We needed to ensure that the shoppers had a unique , easy and delightful experience which would keep them coming back .
Insight

### Input: Design Thinking for Innovation Assignment
Challenge I am a member of a supermarket chain ’s marketing department who has been tasked with designing a unique in - store experience that will absolutely delight customers and build lasting loyalty . The project includes IT personnel together with he marketing team and is expected to run for 2 months . Selection We interviewed and observed shoppers over a considerable period of time , observed the customer journey , also observing our competitors , we found that customers wanted to feel more connected to the suppliers of their produce and an in - store experience the could n’t find elsewhere . One winning idea was an in - store milk dispenser with clear glass milk bottles , customers fill the bottles with single origin high quality milk , with details of the farms and cows that produced it and assurance they received a fair price . We decided to use the learning launch as a tool to test our concept with real customers in - store . A learning launch is ( 1)‘a small experiment that tests your new idea in the real marketplace . ’ ( 2)‘The purpose is to learn then improve . ’
Application Our first launch focused on creating a section in the supermarket and placing a milk dispenser in - store with clear glass milk bottles where shoppers would fill the bottles with single origin high quality milk with details of the farms and cows that produced it and assurance they received a fair price . We observed how shoppers interacted in the section , This process helped us better understand our market , shopper liked the idea and the feeling they got as they shopped . We realised that we had a unique edge by connecting with customers hearts and minds , so in our second launch we added a meat section and observed shoppers to see if there were any gaps , perhaps issues we had not been able to pick up on our first launch . We then conducted interviews with the shoppers to understand their experiences and to find out if there were different views or concerns second time around . We needed to ensure that the shoppers had a unique , easy and delightful experience which would keep them coming back .
Insight

Mind - Mapping
Challenge : There are four major challenges associated with website construction . They are also a website 's most critical inherent features . Accessibility , compatibility , navigability and readability . Those four features can create difficulties and challenges while creating a website unless they were resolved earlier . Selection : In attempt to really organize the idea out and to make a much more specific plan to start . I chose to use the mind - mapping technique for an even more organized and efficient plan , especially since this approach is perfect for strategizing as it was discussed earlier . Application : When brainstorming I started with variety of sections and each section is coordinated by color . Keywords are added to help fill in the proper spot for each word . The sections are then divided into sub - sections that have similar words that corresponds to the desired section . I used a mind - mapping tool , and attached below you can see the results of the websites mind map . Approach : Most probably in my second approch I would like to try the visualization method as it tool for generating pictures , graphs , or animations to convey a message . Since the dawn of mankind , visualization by visual imagery has been an efficient way to express both abstract and concrete ideas .

I heard a lot about storytelling and I see all the users solve their problems with satisfaction . So I use it recently to solve a problem in my work . I am working in a medium big company that are designing different small SW . One day we think about a project for creating an app for an online supermarket . But the problem was that there are a lot of application similar to the one that we wanted to create , so the probability that we win in the market was so low . In order to consider all the point of view for creating a winning app , I suggested to our team to use design thing storytelling tool , but I see my manger is not that agree with my idea . So I take the responsibility and say him that I will come with a proposal to you and if you agree we continue with my proposal . Because I was sure that story telling tool can help my manger and all of us to see our users and app journey and as it is explaining stories , all the persons can see themselves as the story persona and find all small critical point of app creation
Application :
To create personas I consider Sara . Sara is 34 years old , a busy working mom with a 2 years old son . She works full time and has no time for shopping . She does most of her shopping online . She enjoys cooking and likes the healthy eating style . Since she is busy working mom , a suggested shopping list would be handy for her , the shopping list would be based on her shopping history . Sara has a family and most families have a monthly budget , it would be useful for her to know how much money she spends on food , household products , baby products and so on each month . She loves cooking , recipes would be a great addition to the app , especially something like 30 mins meals and healthy family dinner . Since Sara ’s life is busy , it would help her if the app accepts monthly invoice so she can pay for her food , once a month . Till here we were made our personas . Then I start to create a journey of how users experience when using product and a conflict is a challenge users face and they hope that your product is the solution . Sara first knew about the online supermarket app on TV after a long day at work , she is tired and just noticed that she had nothing in the fridge for dinner . She ordered takeaway and while she was waiting for her food , she downloaded the app . So we create a journey for her when she tries the app : 1 . Before she started using the app , there was a brief questionnaire to help her set up her profile . The questionnaire includes simple questions like the number of family members , cooking style and so on . 2 . After that she could start doing her online shopping . There ’s a tab with suggested products and another tab with suggested recipes . She could even put the ingredients in her shopping cart . 3 . For frequently used products , like diapers , she was offered an option to subscribe so the online supermarket delivers them every month — she would n’t have to worry about running out of them . 4 . When she checked out , she was offered a choice to pay with her credit card or a monthly invoice . After checking out — her takeaway arrived , perfect timing ! When I finished my story I go to my team and I explained everything . As they could imagin all the steps of user and product journey , so they convince to go on with creating the app and using storytelling during product creation
Insight and approach :
I see lots of benefits for a business — it enhances engagement , improves user experience , makes the users become brand advocates . When it comes to design — it helps you speak to your users and create something that makes your users ’ life easier and delightful . The true beauty of a great design is not on the outside , it lies within the solution that your product provides . The thing that maybe I change next time when I use storytelling is that I create more than one persona , in order to be sure I consider all the things .

Challenge and Selection
Storytelling is an amazing tool for design thinking and I use it all the situations . I ’m the head of the HR dept of my company . I work with different kinds of people with different attitude and different characters . Each one of them has his / her own unique sense of knowledge and understanding . I often interact with my colleagues , sub - ordinates and my seniors . We share our stories and keep our conversations intact . In my department I treat everyone equally and do not consider myself as a head but as a colleague . As we are working as a team there will be brainstorming and other planning processes so I personally need everyone ’s viewpoints and opinions . However , as per my observation there are a group of people who do not interact or give their ideas but just come to the office , work and leave on time . So , I decided to get their opinions and feedback with the help of storytelling .
Application
Once , I had a coffee session with those selected introvert employees and personally asked them the reason for their lack of participation . They replied by saying that they feel inferior and their interests do not match with other employees . I smiled and decided to tell them a story . I told them that back in my college days even I was an introvert like them and did not like to mingle with anyone . I added by saying that I did not indulge in any form of informal communication . One fine day our beloved HR faculty assigned us in groups for a group assignment . Initially I did not speak anything , later I thought of giving a point and for my surprise , that point was valid and considered by everyone . One of them asked me my name , I burst out with laughter and jokingly asked “ I am in this class for 2 years and now you are asking my name ? ” . We all had a good laugh and a great discussion and even after the group assignment we were good friends .
Insight and Approach
So , by this story I made those employees realise that its them who has to make the first step . Afterall we are all humans and we have our own creativity , sense of humour and understanding . I told them that if we work among ourselves , we are never going to have a good social life . In our next brainstorming sessions those employees gave their opinions and it was innovative and approved by all and most of them made new friends . Hence , Informal communication is necessary in every field for more creative ideas and design thinking .
This course has helped me to see this tool in a new way . With this tool I became a successful leader for my department and I am grateful for it .

Challenge
I am a lead data scientist in an elderly care project . The aim of this project is to provide an IOT technology driven complementary healthcare system to assist the daily work of healthcare providers , and improve the quality of life for elderly patients . There are three main stakeholders in this project , namely the elderly patients and their family members , the healthcare providers ( i.e. care managers of the patients ) , and IT technicians ( i.e. software engineers , data scientists , IT architects ) .
The challenge of this project is that there are lots of variations of the design of potential system , from sensor selection , IT architecture design , data collection , analytic objectives , and results display . Especially , if we rely on one set of system selection and go through the whole loop to collect real data and test the system . The cost of failure could be huge and unrecoverable .
Selection
User experience is crucial for the success of the project . Therefore we decide to take a agile approach to communication with stakeholders through frequent feedback delivery loops . We split the IT system into three main components , i.e. sensor selection and deployment strategy , data analysis pipeline , and results visualization . Based on our experience in relevant technique domains , we proposed a set of sensor kit options , and data analysis prototypes , as well as data visualization designs . We set learning launch targets at different stages of the project to collect user feedback to test our hypothesis and adjust the system design .
Application
For our first learning launch , we aimed at narrowing down the sensor kit selections and result visualization design , to understand the users ’ preference and needs . We recruited 20 elderly patients who are potential users of the system , and elderly who are simply curious . The end product has to be a compromise between technique complexity and the usability ( user interaction required , and the price ) . We grouped the selected sensor kits into different categories accordingly to the amount of user interaction required , and their capabilities . We create result visualization interface based on public dataset and mock data that we created . During this session , we have gain valuable information in terms of sensor selection , and what information ( result visualization ) to feed to the users .
Our second learning launch focused on testing several prototype IT structure , and data analysis pipeline based on real data collected from volunteer patients . The aim is to get ready for a first hand user experience of the running system . During this session , we were able to communicate with users about how an edge based system could offer , and what we could achieve with a powerful cloud- based service , as well as what service is necessary for a real - time feedback , while another could afford a delay .
We launched several more rounds of learning launch afterwards . At each round we tested hypothesis that were set beforehand . Through these launches , we were able to get closer and closer to a system prototype that offers users the best experience , and a backend IT system that offers robust and seamless service to the elderly patients .
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool in an agile way , our team were able to efficiently communicate with the target users and narrow down the hypothesis of various technological tool kit options . Additionally , the process has brought the stack holders in a closer healthy relationship , by taking care of users ’ feedback in the design loop , which has largely increased the confidence of the elderly patients into using our system .
Approach
Given the success of applying the learning launch tool in this project , I would like to continue practising it in future projects . However , various types of project may require different degrees of efforts to launch from the technicians as well the end users . Therefore , carefully set hypothesis , goals , and reasonable time line is very crucial to a successful project , as well as to build a healthy relationship among stakeholders . I would like to pay extra attention in these factors in the future .

### Input: Example reflection – Learning Launch
Challenge
I am a lead data scientist in an elderly care project . The aim of this project is to provide an IOT technology driven complementary healthcare system to assist the daily work of healthcare providers , and improve the quality of life for elderly patients . There are three main stakeholders in this project , namely the elderly patients and their family members , the healthcare providers ( i.e. care managers of the patients ) , and IT technicians ( i.e. software engineers , data scientists , IT architects ) .
The challenge of this project is that there are lots of variations of the design of potential system , from sensor selection , IT architecture design , data collection , analytic objectives , and results display . Especially , if we rely on one set of system selection and go through the whole loop to collect real data and test the system . The cost of failure could be huge and unrecoverable .
Selection
User experience is crucial for the success of the project . Therefore we decide to take a agile approach to communication with stakeholders through frequent feedback delivery loops . We split the IT system into three main components , i.e. sensor selection and deployment strategy , data analysis pipeline , and results visualization . Based on our experience in relevant technique domains , we proposed a set of sensor kit options , and data analysis prototypes , as well as data visualization designs . We set learning launch targets at different stages of the project to collect user feedback to test our hypothesis and adjust the system design .
Application
For our first learning launch , we aimed at narrowing down the sensor kit selections and result visualization design , to understand the users ’ preference and needs . We recruited 20 elderly patients who are potential users of the system , and elderly who are simply curious . The end product has to be a compromise between technique complexity and the usability ( user interaction required , and the price ) . We grouped the selected sensor kits into different categories accordingly to the amount of user interaction required , and their capabilities . We create result visualization interface based on public dataset and mock data that we created . During this session , we have gain valuable information in terms of sensor selection , and what information ( result visualization ) to feed to the users .
Our second learning launch focused on testing several prototype IT structure , and data analysis pipeline based on real data collected from volunteer patients . The aim is to get ready for a first hand user experience of the running system . During this session , we were able to communicate with users about how an edge based system could offer , and what we could achieve with a powerful cloud- based service , as well as what service is necessary for a real - time feedback , while another could afford a delay .
We launched several more rounds of learning launch afterwards . At each round we tested hypothesis that were set beforehand . Through these launches , we were able to get closer and closer to a system prototype that offers users the best experience , and a backend IT system that offers robust and seamless service to the elderly patients .

A cause is something that ignites and unites people . So , the challenge is we are currently in the rainy season . Here in Nigeria , it ’s between the period of April to September . My dad was driving my sisters and I on a morning afternoon sometime last year . It was about 7:30am and a great proportion of road users as at that time were on their way to work/ places of business . The point is majority of the people had no umbrellas , raincoats , or rain boots . Some sought refuge under shades and houses / shops with covered spaces , others kept running under the rain . I had been in those shoes before . It was cloudy that morning , and I had an appointment to catch up with . I had an umbrella I could have left the house with , but I was reluctant because holding umbrellas can be very stressful when they are in use and when they are not . I left the house without my umbrella and I was beaten by the rain ( it started shortly after I embarked on my journey ) . Not only was I late to my destination , I was drenched and stressed . Over 50 % of Nigeria ’s population thinks like this . Umbrellas can be really stressful to carry about . Same with rain boots ( which is even worse ) . My research has shown that Nigerians will be more than willing to get a product that will suffice as an umbrella while eliminating the stress part of it . Introducing a small portable umbrella ( with no handle but a head band instead ) that can be folded into the size of a small handy purse when not in use and worn around the head when it is in use , will serve as a solution to this challenge .

Design Thinking Reflection – Visualization
Challenge I have a business concept for a sustainability product that will help reduce single - use packaging . The vision is to create a circular economy around a line of reusable cups , water bottles and containers that can be borrowed on - demand , then returned for cleaning . Similar to the business model of car co - ops , e - scooters and bikes for transportation , I propose a membership- style system that would allow people to access these items at strategically placed vending machines when they are on - the - go . The challenge is that this idea has never been fully fleshed out and there are significant gaps in terms of how the concept can be implemented in real life , both on the consumer side , as well as the implementation side . Additionally , a big question looms as to whether this is a product or service . Ultimately , I need to better understand how this product / service might work so that I can move forward research and development . Selection According to designer Angela Myer visualization helps unlock another part of our brain to access parts of our creativity for complex problem solving . These visual tools aid us with imaginative thinking when more than just logic is needed ; when extrapolation , inductive reasoning and solving future problems is required . Due to the complexity and type of thinking that ’s required for my business challenge , the design thinking tool I select to assist in this challenge is visualization . This is because there is an immediate need to map out the experience from end - to - end . The purpose of mapping the process out is both to help me create a more fulsome picture of the user experience myself , as well as to communicate the business concept effectively to a group of collaborators . Application I participate in the Squamish Make - a - Thon , presented by the NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF COLOMBIA and the District of Squamish , to put my design thinking skills to the test . With a group of collaborators , I use storyboarding to draw out the user experience of my sustainable solution from beginning to end . We look at this from two angles : the user experience from an external perspective , and the redemption process from an internal perspective . In this particular case , the fast and iterative approach of storyboarding plays a critical role in developing the concept . Through this design thinking tool , our group immediately identifies areas that may pose challenges to the experience and exposes aspects of the concept that require more detailed thinking .
Anne Steiner October 15 , 2019
The storyboarding addresses both the front - end user experience , as well as the back - end facilitation of the product . Through this , our group identifies several stages of the process that we need to rethink .
For example , on the front - end , we realize that when someone identifies their need for a reusable container , they must have a mechanism for locating the closest redemption point . To solve for this , we integrate a location finder mobile application into the process . On the back - end , we realize that my original idea of having a collection service to take dirty containers away and clean them at a different facility would be extremely complex , cumbersome and not sustainable . We opt , instead , to integrate self - cleaning technology
into the vending machine , enabling containers to be cleaned on site . This will speed up the process and keep supplies stocked and reduce the overall carbon footprint of the solution . Using the help of storyboarding throughout the process , our group continues to adjust the concept until the flow makes sense to both the consumer and the business . The new information gained from this visualization helps us hone in on what additional research is required and what we need to include in our Design Criteria document . Insight and Approach After creating the storyboard , I have been able to address critical questions , better communicate the concept , and create a more defined design road map . Firstly , visualization helped me answer the most pressing question : is this more of a product or is it a service ? I have , in fact , established that this is more of a product ( the self - cleaning vending machine ) and therefore , requires a different approach for research and development . Additionally , through the help of visual tools , I was able to both better understand my concept and to communicate it more clearly . Prior to drawing out the business idea , I was having trouble explaining it because I did not have a foundational understanding of it myself . Finally , with the help of iterative visual thinking , I have identified new questions to answer for both the front - end and back - end of the product . This next round of questions will be the foundation for further research and concept development . I think storyboarding was the best tool for me at this until I had developed the idea stage of the business concept because it helped me rapidly iterate more thoroughly .
Anne Steiner October 15 , 2019
Moving forward , however , I would like to fine - tune the consumer journey . In the future , I will create more detailed storyboards with different versions of the user experience . For example , one will have a version where the user has to join a membership to access the reusable container vending machines , while another version will only have a pay - as - you - go option . Next , I ’ll hold a “ yard sale ” with a focus group , inviting participants to put a coloured dot beside the stages of the user flow that they are most likely to follow through with . This will help give me a consensus as to the best user experience before I get into prototyping stage . This short assignment has revealed the cyclical nature of idea development in that with each round of iteration , you may need to take three steps back before you can take another step forward . Ultimately , however , this leads to more effective end - result because the questions are asked up - front rather than after a product hits the shelves — or in this case , the streets .

In order to shorten commutes , save gas , reduce emissions and enhance the mental well being of residents of Virginia I would like to work with VDOT to better time traffic signals to maximize efficiency . The ability to track vehicle , pedestrian and bicycle traffic and adapt traffic control to increase traffic flow while ensuring multimodal safety is critical and possible given the advancement in technology . My cell phone hardware has the video and processing power to easily solve this problem . Why has n’t it been done ?
2 . Selection
I chose Storytelling for the tool to convey the need for Smart Traffic Controls . The section of the class describing how executives sit in an office all day waiting to hear something that compels them motivated me to try an approach which I have never used , but thought I could learn something from trying a new technique . The notion that presenters only get 20 % of a person ’s attention during their pitch impacted me to try using storytelling to inspire , “ to make this challenge a cause ” .
3 . Application
At the next Fairfax County Transportation Advisory Committee meeting , I would like to submit the following ( fictitious ) story :
No one knew why Daniel Q Schneider killed himself in the early morning hours on July 10 , 2020 . He was found in his car with a bullet in his head , in his driveway after his work shift was over . Daniel was a good man , honest and hard - working . What could have possibly driven him to this point ? He had always been interested in technology , had lots of computers , electronic toys , video games , even a 3D printer . The last was the catalyst for his ultimate demise having produced the 3D gun that ended his life . His family was aware of his mental downward slide but had no idea of the depths of his despair . He had recently landed a good job at Amazon , he was busy and productive . For the last 3 months he had been delivering essentials ( and a few luxury items ) to law abiding , isolating residents of Northern Virginia . It was respectable work , even lauded from time to time in the news . Some people even said thank you .
After an extra long day due to unexpected toilet paper production and Clorox wipes availability , Daniel was asked by his boss , Dick , if he would stay late on a Friday night to load 3 trailers with these essentials . Of course Daniel said yes . At midnight , at the end of his 10 hour shift , 7 days straight and another 2 extra hours of unloading , Daniel was able to get in his car and drive the 40 minute ( at rush hour this would be a 90 minute commute ) home . On the way , he got a call from Dick . Like a fool , he answered it . “ Would he come to work Saturday and Sunday ? ” Two of his coworkers could not make it . One had just tested positive for COVID-19 , the other was going to protest at the White house . Daniel said no . His boss encouraged him with thinly veiled threats and the promise of having to clean the latrines . Daniel acquiesced .
Out of overwhelming frustration , tears emerged in Daniel ’s eyes . How much more could he take ? He stopped at a red light and collected himself , blew his nose , wiped his eyes , did breathing exercises , found a good song on the radio and eventually focused on the road . He noticed no one was there . Had anyone ever been there ? Why was the light still red ? Should he run it ? No . His nephew was killed by a frustrated driver running a red light that took too long to change , Daniel would not sink that low . He waited . Still no one came . Eventually , the light changed . Daniel drove .36 miles to the next light which was yellow and turning red . He stopped . One car came out of the side street . The light remained red for 85 more seconds , an eternity at 12:39AM on an empty street in Fairfax , VA . Green . Daniel floored it , hoping to make the next light just before his house . No Dice , .7 miles later his last traffic light was red . Again , one car passed , the light remained red , Daniel saw RED . He was livid , beyond consoling and unable to cope . 55 seconds later when the light turned green Daniel accelerated to 95 miles an hour , drove .2 miles to his driveway and took his own life . Senseless . If only there had been adaptive smart - traffic lights installed ; Daniel and many others could have been saved .

Given the limitless creativity of storytelling , I decided to try something out of character for me . It was a blast ! I thoroughly enjoyed the process . I have so little hope of actually seeing smart - traffic lights come to fruition , that
the ability to add humor and sarcasm to the situation makes up for my fear of ultimate rejection . It gave me the motivation to give it a try and see it through , even if I might not have the nerve to use it .

I found this course to be very well organized , interesting and even more helpful with the use of this assignment . I like how it often refers to the WhatIsWhatIfWhatWowsWhatWorks graph because that is incredibly useful and easy to remember .

5 . Approach
An alternative approach is the Learning Launch for a clinical trial at a test intersection to determine real life data and improvement potential . Being able to show the wasted time from every road direction at initial installation . Then compare that to an automated , adaptive light to demonstrate the benefit . Analysis of pedestrians and bicycles would help understand the need to develop safe algorithms at crossings , and to encourage fuel efficient modes of transportation . The reason to do a learning launch is to demonstrate that the hardware exists , the software will communicate with existing systems , that efficiency can be increased at the simplest intersection . Once we prove all the pieces are in place , we can expand . Seeing the flow of a highly efficient intersection will benefit us all . Drivers will be more content , the EPA will have better emissions and pollution tests , employers will be able to hire people from farther away , politicians can use it as a campaign promise / delivery , police will not have to pull over frustrated and unstable drivers and most importantly , Daniel would still be with us .

### Input: 1 . Challenge
In order to shorten commutes , save gas , reduce emissions and enhance the mental well being of residents of Virginia I would like to work with VDOT to better time traffic signals to maximize efficiency . The ability to track vehicle , pedestrian and bicycle traffic and adapt traffic control to increase traffic flow while ensuring multimodal safety is critical and possible given the advancement in technology . My cell phone hardware has the video and processing power to easily solve this problem . Why has n’t it been done ?
2 . Selection
I chose Storytelling for the tool to convey the need for Smart Traffic Controls . The section of the class describing how executives sit in an office all day waiting to hear something that compels them motivated me to try an approach which I have never used , but thought I could learn something from trying a new technique . The notion that presenters only get 20 % of a person ’s attention during their pitch impacted me to try using storytelling to inspire , “ to make this challenge a cause ” .
3 . Application
At the next Fairfax County Transportation Advisory Committee meeting , I would like to submit the following ( fictitious ) story :
No one knew why Daniel Q Schneider killed himself in the early morning hours on July 10 , 2020 . He was found in his car with a bullet in his head , in his driveway after his work shift was over . Daniel was a good man , honest and hard - working . What could have possibly driven him to this point ? He had always been interested in technology , had lots of computers , electronic toys , video games , even a 3D printer . The last was the catalyst for his ultimate demise having produced the 3D gun that ended his life . His family was aware of his mental downward slide but had no idea of the depths of his despair . He had recently landed a good job at Amazon , he was busy and productive . For the last 3 months he had been delivering essentials ( and a few luxury items ) to law abiding , isolating residents of Northern Virginia . It was respectable work , even lauded from time to time in the news . Some people even said thank you .
After an extra long day due to unexpected toilet paper production and Clorox wipes availability , Daniel was asked by his boss , Dick , if he would stay late on a Friday night to load 3 trailers with these essentials . Of course Daniel said yes . At midnight , at the end of his 10 hour shift , 7 days straight and another 2 extra hours of unloading , Daniel was able to get in his car and drive the 40 minute ( at rush hour this would be a 90 minute commute ) home . On the way , he got a call from Dick . Like a fool , he answered it . “ Would he come to work Saturday and Sunday ? ” Two of his coworkers could not make it . One had just tested positive for COVID-19 , the other was going to protest at the White house . Daniel said no . His boss encouraged him with thinly veiled threats and the promise of having to clean the latrines . Daniel acquiesced .
Out of overwhelming frustration , tears emerged in Daniel ’s eyes . How much more could he take ? He stopped at a red light and collected himself , blew his nose , wiped his eyes , did breathing exercises , found a good song on the radio and eventually focused on the road . He noticed no one was there . Had anyone ever been there ? Why was the light still red ? Should he run it ? No . His nephew was killed by a frustrated driver running a red light that took too long to change , Daniel would not sink that low . He waited . Still no one came . Eventually , the light changed . Daniel drove .36 miles to the next light which was yellow and turning red . He stopped . One car came out of the side street . The light remained red for 85 more seconds , an eternity at 12:39AM on an empty street in Fairfax , VA . Green . Daniel floored it , hoping to make the next light just before his house . No Dice , .7 miles later his last traffic light was red . Again , one car passed , the light remained red , Daniel saw RED . He was livid , beyond consoling and unable to cope . 55 seconds later when the light turned green Daniel accelerated to 95 miles an hour , drove .2 miles to his driveway and took his own life . Senseless . If only there had been adaptive smart - traffic lights installed ; Daniel and many others could have been saved .

Challenge & Selection
Being a consultant , I offer lots of services and creating a dashboard in excel is one of them . It so happened that the data was more than 11 lakh rows and excel has got a limitation of around 10 lakhs . Managing such a huge amount of data was a challenge on any day . I spoke to my client and she said that there wo n’t be any change in the layout of the dashboard as it is globally agreed that we will maintain the same design and there can not be multiple dashboards to handle the data and wanted me to come up with a solution and explain the same to the stakeholders . There was no looking back and the problem had lot of uncertainty to deal with no concrete data available from the past to overcome the challenge .
I selected the storytelling tool to describe the story of the problem I faced and the wanted the stakeholders to make them part of my journey about how step by step I overcome the challenge and how inspiring it can be for others . I wanted to engage my audience at emotional level . The solution that I applied had an impact on the team and did cost savings for the client . I observed in past my colleagues presented the solutions for the problem but never had the connect with the audience and nor the empathy from the client to be part of the journey of finding the solution . I thought creating a story with flow having background , a bit of suspense , a bit of inspiration and emotions will help to nail the problem .
Application
To make the audience and stakeholders believe in my solution I gathered some facts related to Microsoft excel and Microsoft access which I was going to offer them as a solution to manage a large amount of data . I created a story and did storytelling giving a presentation that how I got stuck with the limitation of the excel rows in managing the large data . How I spent sleepless night to find the solution [ MS Access ] to manage the data . I described my steps how I selected MS access after having discussion with some of my senior members [ managers ] . The story kept on becoming interesting as I maintain the tempo , climax , surprises and initiatives that I took to find the solution . I described in the story how I reached the solution by doing secondary research and shared the facts and screenshots about the solution . The trust and relevance to my story went on increasing as other people have faced similar type of problem which they express during my question - answer part of the session . Finally the actually implementation of the solution was shown which marked the climax of the story regarding how the data was managed .
Insight & Approach
I have learned the following things using the storytelling approach :
• Without storytelling data offers just a rear - view mirror .
• While delivering story analyze your audience , structure of story , instill customer empathy into the audience to create long lasting impression .
• Storytelling keeps the audience engaged . Most people do not understand the details of analytics , but they do want evidence where storytelling plays vital role
• Experience based knowledge that comes up in the stories , can be more important in problem solving than information gleaned by other methods .
• Ideas can be communicated easily . It also helps to convey our personality and bring our product in front as the lead as well as hit the emotional quotient of the audience .
• People keep expecting more and about 92 % of consumers want brands to make ads that feel like a story .

Challenge and Selection :
Mapping complex systems and generating network analysis require abstract preparations and must be simplified at its initiation , before transferring the analysis into code and computation time . In order to tackle problems consisting of multiple variables , data attributes and outcomes at a massive scale , a simple mind map may speed up the process of clarifying such analysis , save computing time and resources which is critical for the feasibility of any related project . Mobility analysis of cars within a city , for example , require massive amounts of data crunching , computing power and algorithm optimization . Before tackling such challenge , a simple mind map , consisting of three nodes should be plotted . This is general abstraction before a detailed spider mind map topology . These nodes are the input nodes ( let ’s call it A ) , the raw data attributes provided by data sources , the processing node ( B ) , to be explained later on and output nodes ( C ) , which are the outcomes waiting to be solved . The process node should include a bulk option of multiple analytic models , be it basic econometric regressions , machine learning algorithms , deep learning algorithms and so on .
Application :
The three nodes ( A , B , C ) , mentioned before in the mind map , will have connections to smaller nodes ( a1 , a2 , a3 , etc . ) . The input nodes ( A ) containing data attributes include vehicle category , plate number , vehicle make , vehicle model , vehicle size , mileage , mpg , range , car age , timestamp , day , date , time , latitude , longitude , average speed , etc . The processing node ( B ) will include possible mobility analysis related algorithms , such as reinforcement learning ( b1 ) , supervised learning ( b2 ) , etc . , and the output node ( C ) will include outcomes needed to be measured , such as high traffic congestion , medium traffic congestion and low traffic congestion . The A nodes will have connections to sub - attributes such as in the case of vehicle category(a1 ) ; this would be passenger car(a11 ) , truck ( a12 ) , lorry ( a13 ) etc . , which directly effect other attributes such as vehicle model and vehicle size . This gives us an abstraction of a neural network . The output node , in which is the result of our prediction will have three possible outcomes being high , medium and low traffic congestion ( c1 , c2 , c3 ) .
After extending the mind map into a spider diagram ( large nodes and small nodes ) , we start cancelling out the listed algorithms in the processing node ( B ) . This processing node includes algorithms such reinforcement learning(b1 ) , supervised learning ( b2 ) , etc . The sub attributes , or smaller nodes connecting to , for example , the reinforcement learning ( b1 ) would be Q - table learning ( b11 ) and so on . After brain storming and leaving the most suitable algorithm , let ’s say b11 , we can start cancelling out the data attributes which may seem like noise , and use less attributes to generate optimum results in a computationally cost - effective way . This method is not an exact approach to tackle such complex systems analysis , but does speed up the process of getting the work done in a feasible way .
Insight and Approach
The insights I have obtained through this mind mapping strategy has helped me filter out data attributes that are noise at the A node level , I ’ve mentioned as the input node . Cancelling out noise has sped up analysis generated while saving computational resources , meanwhile helping me select the most optimum algorithm at the B node level , without decreasing the quality or precision and accuracy of the predictions , which I ’ve mentioned as the C node . This forms the basis of a feed back loop where more result - affecting input attributes , such as rainfall per meter squared can be added and removed from the mind map and hence deliver enriched output results such as traffic congestion scores .

Challenge and Selection :
Mapping complex systems and generating network analysis require abstract preparations and must be simplified at its initiation , before transferring the analysis into code and computation time . In order to tackle problems consisting of multiple variables , data attributes and outcomes at a massive scale , a simple mind map may speed up the process of clarifying such analysis , save computing time and resources which is critical for the feasibility of any related project . Mobility analysis of cars within a city , for example , require massive amounts of data crunching , computing power and algorithm optimization . Before tackling such challenge , a simple mind map , consisting of three nodes should be plotted . This is general abstraction before a detailed spider mind map topology . These nodes are the input nodes ( let ’s call it A ) , the raw data attributes provided by data sources , the processing node ( B ) , to be explained later on and output nodes ( C ) , which are the outcomes waiting to be solved . The process node should include a bulk option of multiple analytic models , be it basic econometric regressions , machine learning algorithms , deep learning algorithms and so on .
Application :
The three nodes ( A , B , C ) , mentioned before in the mind map , will have connections to smaller nodes ( a1 , a2 , a3 , etc . ) . The input nodes ( A ) containing data attributes include vehicle category , plate number , vehicle make , vehicle model , vehicle size , mileage , mpg , range , car age , timestamp , day , date , time , latitude , longitude , average speed , etc . The processing node ( B ) will include possible mobility analysis related algorithms , such as reinforcement learning ( b1 ) , supervised learning ( b2 ) , etc . , and the output node ( C ) will include outcomes needed to be measured , such as high traffic congestion , medium traffic congestion and low traffic congestion . The A nodes will have connections to sub - attributes such as in the case of vehicle category(a1 ) ; this would be passenger car(a11 ) , truck ( a12 ) , lorry ( a13 ) etc . , which directly effect other attributes such as vehicle model and vehicle size . This gives us an abstraction of a neural network . The output node , in which is the result of our prediction will have three possible outcomes being high , medium and low traffic congestion ( c1 , c2 , c3 ) .
After extending the mind map into a spider diagram ( large nodes and small nodes ) , we start cancelling out the listed algorithms in the processing node ( B ) . This processing node includes algorithms such reinforcement learning(b1 ) , supervised learning ( b2 ) , etc . The sub attributes , or smaller nodes connecting to , for example , the reinforcement learning ( b1 ) would be Q - table learning ( b11 ) and so on . After brain storming and leaving the most suitable algorithm , let ’s say b11 , we can start cancelling out the data attributes which may seem like noise , and use less attributes to generate optimum results in a computationally cost - effective way . This method is not an exact approach to tackle such complex systems analysis , but does speed up the process of getting the work done in a feasible way .
Insight and Approach
The insights I have obtained through this mind mapping strategy has helped me filter out data attributes that are noise at the A node level , I ’ve mentioned as the input node . Cancelling out noise has sped up analysis generated while saving computational resources , meanwhile helping me select the most optimum algorithm at the B node level , without decreasing the quality or precision and accuracy of the predictions , which I ’ve mentioned as the C node . This forms the basis of a feed back loop where more result - affecting input attributes , such as rainfall per meter squared can be added and removed from the mind map and hence deliver enriched output results such as traffic congestion scores .

Challenge and selection
I manage a Malta government funded startup accelerator which runs special programmes that provide support to small tech startup teams that want to prove a business concept through a low fidelity prototype . When we first started we had next to no experience in doing this . We engaged in plenty of research , talked to experts in the field , and to many tech founders and entrepreneurs learn about the business of accelerating startups . We also visited several European accelerators and incubators in Lisbon , Venice , Tartu , Vienna and Warsaw .
Even if we had our own vertical expertise in various technology fields , we had no past experience in accelerating startups . We quickly realised that even if we were helping startups prove their business concept and test their prototype , we had ourselves designed a concept which needed validation and testing . Based on the research we had done , we decided that the learning launch was the best tool we could use to test a number of assumptions . And that probably two or more learning launches would be necessary .
Application When innovating and navigating new waters , you are often not aware of what new knowledge lies out there that needs discovering . So new complex questions that needed answering kept surfacing as we ran one learning launch after another after another . This made openness and experimentation the driving philosophy of the accelerator .
Initially we wanted to answer questions like , was the pre - seed grant sufficient funding to incentivise a talented individual to quit his job and become a tech entrepreneur ? Would expert mentors be willing to provide their input to the programme for free ? Eventually , was the grant and programme content enough to draw non - indigenous startup to come to Malta , follow the programme and stay ? Importantly , was the content of the programme relevant and rich enough to improve survivability of the startups ?
We also had plenty of “ what ” and “ why ” questions that needed answering . What value did the startup teams find in the programme ? Why did insufficient ideas come from indigenous teams ? And why did some non - indigenous teams find it attractive to stay , and others not ?
Due to the unprecedented nature of the acceleration programme for Malta and the insufficient expertise available , it became evident that only learning launches would give us concrete answers and insights which would enable us to scale up our accelerator .
Insight & Approach Launching a call for startups requires considerable planning and design to target startup teams with the required talent , maturity , skill and technological competence . This enabled us to single out beforehand certain assumptions we wanted to test , including the limitations and value of the acceleration programme .
For example , after establishing a set amount for the pre - seed grant , based on market estimations and a number of interviews , we learnt that indigenous startup teams were not sufficiently motivated due to the high demand for tech talent coming from the ICT , media and online gaming industries . Eventually , when we internationalised our calls , the number of applications received shot up by over
500 % , proving amply that Malta could become a startup hub in the region . Further learnings were then made . Among them , we found that non - indigenous startups were attracted by the grant and the content of the programme . But they were also more interested in the network of mentors and the international context which was generally perceived as more promising from a fund raising perspective , particularly for certain technologies and markets .
Reflecting on the work done , however , since we are a small team , most learnings were not usually formalised other than through a post - mortem to discuss feedback from the startups . It is important instead that assumptions that need to be tested must be stated , and metrics established to determine verification of the assumption .
Nevertheless , the learning launch tool , adopted iteratively from one programme to the next , has helped the team gain vital insights on what are the key ingredients that should be included in an international , scaled up design of the accelerator programme .

Challenge and Selection
A client of mine is a New York based arts organisation , that has grown exponentially over the past ten years . In the fall of 2013 , they secured a new location and activity was significantly increased over the course of the year to prepare for the launch of the space , augment existing programming , and ensure that all relevant stakeholders were actively participating in this new chapter . A combination of the organisation ’s exponential growth , the pressure of opening a new physical space , and the fact that both administrative and artistic staff are based in New York , Berlin , and Vienna meant that often relevant team members felt out of the loop , or work was being performed in strict silos as opposed to thinking through how all activity connected together . In order to condense the ideas and executions created by this diverse team I have used mind mapping as one tool to record their creative outputs and efforts efficiently in one place , when going through the planning process for their holistic communications in 2018 .
Application
I started the process by making sure that there was a time that all relevant stakeholders could get together . With a geographically diverse team , it was important to get all relevant minds together in one place to break down the silos and get everyone on the same page . In preparation for the combined exercises , I gathered together all relevant data from our different departments . This included previous sales reports , survey data , qualitative results from small focus groups , advertising report data and house reports from those working directly in the venues . Gathering all of this data together meant we would be able to look for patterns more clearly .
Thankfully , having just secured a new space , we were able to utilise multiple rooms to break out between our “ yard sale ” with our data on display , and our workshop areas . While attendees were allowed to browse the data prior to the official commencement of the mind mapping process , we also had key individuals from relevant departments to take the group through the results and give further context to the findings . After this , all attendees were allowed to once again browse the space at their leisure . However , this time , they were provided with sticky notes and pens and encouraged to write down anything they saw that they felt was particularly important or might inform our planning .
Now moving into our workshop rooms , the attendees were split up into multidisciplinary groups and encouraged to talk about what they had seen and heard . It was important to let all those involved feel heard so we could create one common mind from which to move forward . I deliberately involved many stakeholders in this process so we could get both information and buy in from all sorts of sources .
It was now time to take the sticky notes from each of the groups and collate them into key themes and content areas , all grouped around our design problem . Teams were encouraged to come to the large whiteboard in the room and cluster their notes into different topic areas . Not all topic areas were completely homogenous , but rather some had one , or several , sub topics . All sticky notes were attached to the board , even the outliers . As a group , we discussed the insights we had discovered related to each topic cluster and further investigated potential connections between different clusters .
This then allowed us to begin discussing design criteria , or how exactly we would measure success of the project . This would then be a starting point for working out what our next steps were . Following the in person workshop , photographic records of the clusters were taken and then all relevant information was digitised . This final , digital pack included the clusters from our mind mapping workshop , along with the insights discovered from the workshop , our overall design problem , design criteria and next steps . This pack was distributed to all relevant stakeholders and used as our concrete , agreed upon planning guideline .

While it was always understood that having staff members in multiple countries was challenging , I could n’t have imagined how helpful it was to get all relevant stakeholders in one place and allow their voices to be heard as part of this process . We were able to , both figuratively and literally , get various different departments on the same page about our design problem and criteria through this shared workshop and exercise . Not only was the process enjoyable , but it also felt efficient - what would have normally taken weeks of emails back and forth was able to be achieved in one focused day of work together .
In the future , I am aware that I am not going to regularly have the chance to have all of these international team members together in one place . However , that does n’t mean that I ca n’t still use mind mapping to improve my client ’s internal communication and collaboration . Helping to visualise the wide range of thoughts and data , and seeing the connections between them could be used in a variety of smaller , more regular meetings . In order to help these teams to simplify some of their more complex problems , I will be using mind mapping in a variety of brainstorming and creative projects moving forward , allowing us to analyse the information that we have in a more active and group oriented way .

### Input: New Space Opening - Mind Mapping
Challenge and Selection
A client of mine is a New York based arts organisation , that has grown exponentially over the past ten years . In the fall of 2013 , they secured a new location and activity was significantly increased over the course of the year to prepare for the launch of the space , augment existing programming , and ensure that all relevant stakeholders were actively participating in this new chapter . A combination of the organisation ’s exponential growth , the pressure of opening a new physical space , and the fact that both administrative and artistic staff are based in New York , Berlin , and Vienna meant that often relevant team members felt out of the loop , or work was being performed in strict silos as opposed to thinking through how all activity connected together . In order to condense the ideas and executions created by this diverse team I have used mind mapping as one tool to record their creative outputs and efforts efficiently in one place , when going through the planning process for their holistic communications in 2018 .
Application
I started the process by making sure that there was a time that all relevant stakeholders could get together . With a geographically diverse team , it was important to get all relevant minds together in one place to break down the silos and get everyone on the same page . In preparation for the combined exercises , I gathered together all relevant data from our different departments . This included previous sales reports , survey data , qualitative results from small focus groups , advertising report data and house reports from those working directly in the venues . Gathering all of this data together meant we would be able to look for patterns more clearly .
Thankfully , having just secured a new space , we were able to utilise multiple rooms to break out between our “ yard sale ” with our data on display , and our workshop areas . While attendees were allowed to browse the data prior to the official commencement of the mind mapping process , we also had key individuals from relevant departments to take the group through the results and give further context to the findings . After this , all attendees were allowed to once again browse the space at their leisure . However , this time , they were provided with sticky notes and pens and encouraged to write down anything they saw that they felt was particularly important or might inform our planning .
Now moving into our workshop rooms , the attendees were split up into multidisciplinary groups and encouraged to talk about what they had seen and heard . It was important to let all those involved feel heard so we could create one common mind from which to move forward . I deliberately involved many stakeholders in this process so we could get both information and buy in from all sorts of sources .
It was now time to take the sticky notes from each of the groups and collate them into key themes and content areas , all grouped around our design problem . Teams were encouraged to come to the large whiteboard in the room and cluster their notes into different topic areas . Not all topic areas were completely homogenous , but rather some had one , or several , sub topics . All sticky notes were attached to the board , even the outliers . As a group , we discussed the insights we had discovered related to each topic cluster and further investigated potential connections between different clusters .
This then allowed us to begin discussing design criteria , or how exactly we would measure success of the project . This would then be a starting point for working out what our next steps were . Following the in person workshop , photographic records of the clusters were taken and then all relevant information was digitised . This final , digital pack included the clusters from our mind mapping workshop , along with the insights discovered from the workshop , our overall design problem , design criteria and next steps . This pack was distributed to all relevant stakeholders and used as our concrete , agreed upon planning guideline .

Reflection - Storytelling
Challenge & Selection : I am currently working in a social service dedicated to helping women understand powerful computer tools like coding . The girls I work with are usually from low - income families and do not have access to many resources . For many of them , it is the very first time that they use the tools we are teaching them about , so it is important for me to explain them in an easy and comprehendible way . It is also important that I connect and build a relationship with them in order to motivate them and to better understand what ’s the best method to teach them . It is important for me to use the storytelling tool in order to accomplish the goals I have because it helps me understand the girls and create a cause for which to work towards together . Application : When I was first introduced to the girls , I applied the storytelling tool by telling them a story about how the tools and resources I would teach them about had helped me solve many problems throughout my life , I also gave them examples of how other people I know had used the tools and resources to their advantage . I then talked with them and told them to tell me ways they could use these tools and resources to their advantage , after this they were more excited about learning to code and use the resources , we would provide to them . It got them thinking about all the possibilities , once we got to work , they finished all their work and lessons before the deadlines . They finished early and worked hard because I had connected with them and they understood how this could help them later on . Insight and Approach : The challenge helped me learn how just connecting with people through stories can change their whole approach to something and can greatly motivate them to work a lot harder because it opens their eyes to how this is beneficial for them in the long run . By using the storytelling tool , I was able to change the way they viewed the classes , instead of seeing it as a chore that their parents and teachers forced them to do , they were able to see it as something that would benefit them in the future . The next time I use the storytelling tool , I would change several things . I learned that it is important to connect emotionally and logically with people and that can mean talking about them , others or yourself . Next time I will have to be more conscious of their response in order to see which stories are working and which are not .

Challenge
The bank ’s financial reporting has been done by the MIS department for years . Any financial report
to any of the bank ’s business lines / departments can only be requested from the MIS . A set of
monthly reports have been agreed upon , and they have been delivered to the business lines
unchanged for the past two decades . Each time any of the departments has a request besides
the monthly package , he contacts one of the business partners in the MIS department , he
evaluate the request , provide target date , implement the report and share it as an excel
workbook .
Waves of changes have happened , there is no MIS department anymore , the whole group has
been revamped to analytics and data management . Where the basic function is no longer
reporting , yet analytics and performance evaluation . The monthly reporting packages were kept
unchanged though .
This task has consumed many resources which we need to utilize for their main analysis jobs . And
we need to keep the monthly reports on going since this is the business lines only source of data .
Selection
I mixed the tools learning launch tool and ethnography in my solution for the challenge .
Ethnography is a study of the customer ’s nature , needs and requirements done through a serious
of interviews and journey mappings . Learning launch tool on the other hand , is a tool where you
experiment suggested solutions to your challenge and test them in action before investing time ,
effort and money in planning based on just assumptions . Based on the results of your experiment ,
you either move forward with the solution , tweak it , or try another one .
Ethnography and learning launch have best suited my challenge , because we had too many
people involved , the reports requirements have been left unchanged for so long , the business
needs must have been changed ever since and we assumed the reports do n’t meet these
requirements anymore . We needed to study our customers ’ requirements and new needs . We also
needed to quickly engage with them to come up with a solution as fast as possible . We were not
sure if the suggested reporting automation through web tools would be acceptable to them . And
that is why learning launch is so special . You get to test your hypothesis and make sure they are
your quick fix before getting deeper into execution .
Video Reference : http://moore.com/explore/tagterms.php
Application
We started interviewing our customers in parallel to implementing a prototype of one of the old
reports . We replaced the excel workbooks with a report accessible through the web . Interviews
were scheduled with representatives from each business lines . They included intensive discussion of
what they need to report , their main performance KPIs , what they do with the data we provide
them and how satisfied they are with the current reporting packages and the report requesting
processes .
Once the prototype was ready , we started introducing the users to the new web tool , its main
features and illustrated the available data they could use to make their own basic reports . We also
collected opinions through feedback sheets and questionnaires .
Insights
Both the interviews and the learning launch turned out to be fruitful . The customers have rarely
used the sent reports by the MIS team , the data was insufficient and they do n’t meet their
requirements anymore . They also did n’t like how dependable they were on other people for
producing their own reports . They said the process was time consuming and inflexible . The new
reporting tool has been faced with great welcome and acceptance . The new visualization tools
and dashboarding has eliminated the limitations in excel . And this opened the opportunity for a
new level of reporting .
Approach
If I get the chance to do it all again , I ’ll follow the same approach and the tools used . They have
proven to be effective in my challenge . We were able to satisfy all the parties involved and we
managed to get out with a detailed plan of replacing the old process with a new automated one
in no time . It also made the customers feel engaged and involved .

Challenge
The tool I would like to choose is visualization . For me , a fishery scholar , what I need
to do for environmental protection companies and agencies is to design various fishery
management and restoration proposals based on different water environments and
requests from clients which can help my clients to solve some problems , e.g. , water
pollution , decline of fish resources .
Selection
In order to make my clients better understand what I intend to express , I usually use
the software , PowerPoint ( PPT ) and R language , to draw a few sketches ( the most
important ) , flow charts , and timetables . The software can visualize almost all my
thoughts , e.g. , mapping , analyzing data , so it ’s very helpful for me to meet challenges .
Application
First , I will go through all the relevant documents and materials about the project I
undertake . For example , I need to purify the water quality and increase the fish
resources in a lake . What I should do is to collect all documents and materials of the
lake , then I must go to the lake to collect water , aquatic plant , and fish samples and
analyze them . What ’s more , I have to communicate with the managers and local
workers to get first - hand information on the lake conditions .
Second , after acquiring all the information I need and detailed requests from my
clients , I will draft a construction project for the management and restoration of the lake .
Then , I will draw some sketches and flow charts based on the construction project using
PPT application and R language . I will also discuss the proposal with at least 3 experts
using the sketches , flow charts , and timetables . They will give me some comments ,
such as : 1 ) whether the proposal is feasible ? 2 ) Can the means of restoration and
management be more simplified ? 3 ) Is the cost reasonable ? According to the
suggestions from the experts , I will revise the proposal and draw new sketches , flow
charts , and timetables . More importantly , I will show the sketches , flow charts , and
timetables to my clients , listen to their comments and suggestions , and reply to their
questions . At last , I will revise my proposal and draw new sketches , flow charts , and
timetables and show them to my clients again .
Insight and Approach
I found that it is very helpful for someone to understand something when we visualize
our thoughts . No matter which visualization software we choose , we will express our
thoughts clearly if we convert the redundant text into pictures . In addition , I think a
picture is worth a thousand words and it is very convenient for us to share our ideas
with others and add new ideas .
Last but not least , I will convert the redundant text into videos to show my clients in
the near future . Because I think it will be more interesting and comprehensible than just
some pictures and flow charts .

to do for environmental protection companies and agencies is to design various fishery
management and restoration proposals based on different water environments and
requests from clients which can help my clients to solve some problems , e.g. , water
pollution , decline of fish resources .
Selection
In order to make my clients better understand what I intend to express , I usually use
the software , PowerPoint ( PPT ) and R language , to draw a few sketches ( the most
important ) , flow charts , and timetables . The software can visualize almost all my
thoughts , e.g. , mapping , analyzing data , so it ’s very helpful for me to meet challenges .
Application
First , I will go through all the relevant documents and materials about the project I
undertake . For example , I need to purify the water quality and increase the fish
resources in a lake . What I should do is to collect all documents and materials of the
lake , then I must go to the lake to collect water , aquatic plant , and fish samples and
analyze them . What ’s more , I have to communicate with the managers and local
workers to get first - hand information on the lake conditions .
Second , after acquiring all the information I need and detailed requests from my
clients , I will draft a construction project for the management and restoration of the lake .
Then , I will draw some sketches and flow charts based on the construction project using
PPT application and R language . I will also discuss the proposal with at least 3 experts
using the sketches , flow charts , and timetables . They will give me some comments ,
such as : 1 ) whether the proposal is feasible ? 2 ) Can the means of restoration and
management be more simplified ? 3 ) Is the cost reasonable ? According to the
suggestions from the experts , I will revise the proposal and draw new sketches , flow
charts , and timetables . More importantly , I will show the sketches , flow charts , and
timetables to my clients , listen to their comments and suggestions , and reply to their
questions . At last , I will revise my proposal and draw new sketches , flow charts , and
timetables and show them to my clients again .
Insight and Approach
I found that it is very helpful for someone to understand something when we visualize
our thoughts . No matter which visualization software we choose , we will express our
thoughts clearly if we convert the redundant text into pictures . In addition , I think a
picture is worth a thousand words and it is very convenient for us to share our ideas
with others and add new ideas .
Last but not least , I will convert the redundant text into videos to show my clients in
the near future . Because I think it will be more interesting and comprehensible than just
some pictures and flow charts .

Challenge
I work in the digital solutions department of my organization / bank . We focus on delivering digital services to our customers in a time efficient and cost - effective manner . The customer can still avail all of the services that a bank would offer such as paying bills , transferring money , checking balance etc but through the digital channel – the mobile banking app .
I was working on one of the candidate processes , for digitization , in the legacy system . Looking at the current data and volumes , we could tell that a number of customers were reached out to avail this ‘ confirmation service ’ through either phone or SMS . The hypothesis was , that if the same confirmation is sought through the digital channel , it can improve customer response rate and at the same time decrease the load on call centres .
Selection
Although we had the data and volumes for the legacy approach , but this was not a guarantee that the service would appeal to the customers on the digital app as much and bring the benefits and revenue that we expected .
Therefore , we had to test the hypothesis , in the real market place , in a cheap and fast way – learning launch was just the right tool ! As suggested in the lecture by Kevin Born in the design thinking course , the learning launch tool would allow us to gather the right quantity and quality of data from a set of carefully selected customers , which we can then analyse of confirming and disconfirming facts and decide to either pivot or shelf this idea .
Application
We quickly shaped the idea into a basic design through visualization tools and drafted a UI . We came up with a basic prototype with least complexity .
We then selected a set of customers to test our hypothesis . The customers had to be very carefully selected in order to get the right quantity and quality of data . The group was around 20 customers . Diversity was the key . We had customers from different age groups and varied skills at using apps and digital services .
During the test exercise , the customers had to go through the prototype as if they were using the service . They would then rate the service , as well as take a survey , to rate the different features and options for the same service .
The data that was then collected was analysed by the cross functional team and decision makers from across different departments to exclude any bias and to evaluate the confirming and disconfirming facts to determine the best way forward .
Insight
The analysis of the data gathered through learning launch showed us that that idea was more likely to succeed . Majority of the customers felt it was more convenient as well as safe to rely on the digital version of the service . There were a lot of confirming facts – ease of use , time efficiency , safety and security .
However , there were a few suggestions and areas for improvement in the way the information was presented to the user/ user interface . These should be addressed and accommodated for a successful final service / product .
Approach
As the results from the learning launch were promising , the next step would be to accommodate the customers feedback and suggestions into the next prototype in a quick and cost - effective way , and run it past a set of customers to evaluate it – learning launch phase 2 . This will help us shape and deliver a successful final product .

Storytelling is a tool I use to normalize the experiences of new parents . I coach and provide therapy to women experiencing postpartum anxiety and depression and am a parent myself . Oftentimes , in the early stages of parenting , individuals struggle to feel like their thoughts , emotions and decisions are normal . So much so , that they have difficulty with making even basic decisions . For example , should I take the baby to the park or just stay home ? What if my baby cries when I have to go to the supermarket . On a more extreme level , parents will attach value statements about themselves or about their child . For example , “ I ca n’t go to the park because I do n’t know how to get my child to come home . I ’m a terrible parent and ca n’t set boundaries . ” Storytelling provides great support and normalization and because I ’ve worked with parents for so long , I ’m able to share some of the struggles other parents are experiencing and help other parents recognize that they are not alone in their struggles and that their children are not uniquely challenging . Further , storytelling helps alleviate anxiety because it creates a common space for thoughts that feel too difficult to share with others .
Application
I also use storytelling to improve my agency 's level of care and to help my colleagues decrease their anxiety around note taking . I developed the internship program at my current agency to improve access to care and to improve student learning opportunities . I provided examples and stories of how interns have helped agencies in the past and how this may apply to our environment . For my colleagues , when they are struggling with notes , I provide not only storytelling but some visualization tools for them to rely on when they are feeling stuck . I created a list of typical clips and phrases used in mental health notes to guide anyone struggling to develop the proper language and I discussed my experience in higher level of care environments to reduce anxiety around notes in our own environment . I shared historical stories around the kind of data many social service agencies used and coached on protective language to use when writing clinical notes .
Insight & Approach
A colleague of mine had her notes subpoenaed and developed high levels of anxiety around note taking following the event . I have been able to help her reduce her levels of anxiety by sharing tools around protective not taking approaches for both herself and her clients without making her feel like she was sacrificing her quality of care . I also helped her reduce contact with clients who were focused on harmful behaviors towards her and used storytelling to help her safely and ethically find the appropriate level of care for clients who needed additional support to be successful .
Next time , I may rely even more on visualization tools to improve resources and outcomes for younger clinicians in the field who need additional note taking support .

Challenge
As a consultant , I ’m constantly trying to learn more so I can bring fresh perspectives and innovative ideas to clients . This course was particularly timely , as innovation has been top - of - mind for the financial services sector ( my area of focus ) . As the regulatory environment has lightened in recent years and digitally - born financial companies rapidly emerge , the established players in the industry have been working hard to improve customer experiences and introduce new products and services . Equally as important has been a focus on improving internal processes in areas like risk , compliance , technology , and operations . This is where my challenge enters .
Scenario analysis – the process of thinking through severe “ what - if ” scenarios – is a common risk management exercise at most financial institutions , yet it has remained largely unchanged for years in its current manual , time- consuming , arduous form . Scenario analysis is a vital tool for executives to critically evaluate a bank ’s preparedness in the event of a major risk event , however it ’s manual and subjective nature leave it open to criticism and its effectiveness is often questioned . I decided to apply a design thinking approach to the question of how one can modernize scenario analysis and make it a more powerful and effective exercise . This is my challenge .
Selection
I chose Storytelling as my tool , because of how rudimentary it seemed , yet so different from a typical ideation tool used in a business context . It struck me as great way to think about a situation differently and potentially arrive at a solution . As Carlos Alvarez said in the video lecture , “ Every great product , every great service , every great institution has a story behind it . ” Perhaps through telling a story , one could create a great story to tell , and via that story , find a way to a solution . On that point , Martin ’s quote that “ Storytelling is the difference between solving a problem and creating a cause ” also seemed quite prescient .
Application
I began the design thinking process by thinking about scenario analysis in its current form and asking the four key questions of “ What Is ? ” , “ What If ? ” , “ What Wows ? ” , and “ What Works ? ” . After getting the ideas flowing and jotting down some thoughts on paper related to each of the four questions , I decided to take what I ’d written down and present it in the form of a story to my colleagues .
I began by telling the story of a risk manager at National Institute of Coffee , a large , systemically - important bank with a global footprint and operational complexity . From there , I described the scenario analysis process in its current form – one that is time - consuming , highly - manual , and extremely administrative in nature , particularly at a large institution like Bank X. I then posed the question of “ what if ” – what if there was a better way for the risk manager to do his job ; a better way to manage risk and think about risks in a more proactive , forward - looking manner .
From there , I continued by telling the story of a powerful , digital tool – one driven by artificial intelligence and machine learning – that could intelligently identify emerging risks and pinpoint areas where scenario analysis should be performed . Although this is not something that currently exists , it created an extremely compelling story and sparked excitement and a profound sense of awe among the team . I ended the story on the question of what works and what can we do to make this solution happen .
Insight
I gained immense insight from the storytelling tool . It removed the constraints of ‘ traditional ’ thinking by allowing me to tell an aspirational story which , in turn , revealed an aspirational solution to the problem of how one can modernize scenario analysis . I believe storytelling allows one to think in a more bold , provocative way since it is about creating a compelling journey with a beginning , middle , and end . Rather than simply creating a list of potential solutions to a problem , storytelling gives one the freedom to be bold , daring , assertive , and unconventional , all of which may reveal a possible solution .
Approach
If I were to use the storytelling tool again , I would try to think even more outside - of - the - box . For example , rather than telling a story about a risk manager at Bank X – one that is aspirational but practical – I would try to broaden my thinking further and set a completely different scene in a different environment . Perhaps tell the story of a doctor in a hospital or a teacher in a school or a young child at home . By expanding further outside of the box , I believe further insights could reveal themselves that could easily be translated into a more practical , financial services context .

Challenge & Selection
The tool that I used was Mind Mapping for understanding my problem better and making my team members understand it better too . I wanted to do some research project work in my field of mechanical engineering in computational fluid dynamics ( CFD ) so I had an idea in mind for the work ; I collected some teammates and stared literature review for my project related to my idea and so did my team mates which estimated for the first phase of the project “ What is ? ” . The challenge was that everybody can understand what others have read and can tell other what they have read in minimum time possible . The only possible solution I could see at that time was Mind Mapping .
Application
I started the process as follows : After the literature review , we sat together in a room and we have to discuss the papers we all had reviewed in the time provide by me ( we were five students ) . I pulled out a paper and in the centre drew a circle in which I wrote the topic name and now like a tree , drew some branches with circles at the end . I wrote everything I studied in my time in short in those circles and circulated the sheet for everybody , asked them to do the same . I also told them to write their idea for the project , like how we could approach it and how we can make it exceptional from all those papers we have read , the new ideas and existing ones are now filtered into concise and to the point format .
Like Mary Santiago told in the Mind Mapping Tool Video of the third week .
Now we have completed the mind mapping of the ideas and studies we all had and so that everybody could read it , I circulated it once more . There were many patterns that emerged from the mind map and we were clear about the work we have to do . Now I put it on the board and leave space for more and ask my teammates to view the board regularly and if they come across any idea ever just clip it there on the board updating it regularly . They all used to it and every time I looked at the board different themes for the project were there sticking on the board . We are still working on that project .
Impact & Approach
I learned that the process is efficient and effective . The impact was direct and positive for the project , we all were now on the same page about the project , the idea sharing and generation is easy . The project can now be completed with the help of a faculty who has agreed to help us and seeing the ideas and work we have done he has agreed to provide us with exceptional computational resources which we badly need right now for the project .
We invited the faculty to have a look at the mind map and pick out the good points that would be beneficial for the project . We clustered the points that teacher and we all teammates have picked out and identified the insights that were related to the each one of them while looking for the connections among them . The insights inferred were then converted to the criteria we needed for the project . This all happened with the help of the team . I learned that shared insights are the most important aspects for any design thinking process and approach .

They all used to it and every time I looked at the board different themes for the project were there sticking on the board . We are still working on that project .
Impact & Approach
I learned that the process is efficient and effective . The impact was direct and positive for the project , we all were now on the same page about the project , the idea sharing and generation is easy . The project can now be completed with the help of a faculty who has agreed to help us and seeing the ideas and work we have done he has agreed to provide us with exceptional computational resources which we badly need right now for the project .
We invited the faculty to have a look at the mind map and pick out the good points that would be beneficial for the project . We clustered the points that teacher and we all teammates have picked out and identified the insights that were related to the each one of them while looking for the connections among them . The insights inferred were then converted to the criteria we needed for the project . This all happened with the help of the team . I learned that shared insights are the most important aspects for any design thinking process and approach .

Challenge As a small learning team within our company , we are responsible for training offerings to our audience – mainly frontline managers . In 2017 most of our content was delivered via classroom trainings , with smaller portion available as virtual learning ( online courses , similar in nature to Coursera ) . Unfortunately , this approach was both expensive for the business and inconvenient for many of our training participants : Managers had to travel off - site to attend the classroom , which is costly and time consuming and oftentimes cancelled their participation because of a last minute crisis at work that prevented them to leave . It was clear from our participants ’ feedback we have been collecting throughout the year that we need to offer them more flexibility and control over when and how they are going to learn .
The challenge for us was how to get the content of our classroom programs to the learners via virtual ( online ) learning , blended learning and on the job learning and significantly limit the classroom time . In short : how to recognize which parts of our classroom content can be moved outside the classroom .
Selection
My assignment was to reexamine three training programs and offer two options for future redesign , which would contain larger share of virtual and on the job learning compared to classroom . Such a tasks requires paying attention to multiple variables at the same time : Which parts of content can work as stand - alone virtual lectures , which of them need interaction of learners , what are the shift patterns in a workplace ( i.e. when our learners are less busy and can focus on learning ) and some more . Being aware of the limited ability of human brain to hold in its operational memory larger number of concepts at the same time ( thanks to David Rock´s book “ Your Brain At Work ” ) , I knew I had to use visuals that would allow me not only to represent individual elements of the project . I also needed the visuals to be flexible enough to let me reposition individual elements with ease to see possible combinations . I have chosen to utilize my experience with Lego Serious Play method , which suggests using Lego bricks to build models as tangible metaphors for all the relevant elements and use them for “ landscaping ” – realigning the models into various possible scenarios to find the most fitting one .
Application I have used the dedicated Lego Serious Play1 set to build models of selected elements relevant for solving the problem . The process of building the models was already part of the visualization technique , with tactile elements – building the models as simplified versions of the learning elements helped me to clarify for myself what the key features of each of the elements are that should be represented in the model . Because our team wanted to stick to David Rock´s methods of brain coaching , I have also built models for

all five elements of his SCARF model,2 to be able to compare all my potential learning scenarios with the five element of SCARF model ( see the picture below ) .
Subsequently I have progressed to landscaping : I have started to move the models around to group and regroup the elements according to different principles to “ test ” how the picture would hold together to scrutiny . The initial principles I wanted to visualize were :
location ( where would learner access the specific element )
time of access ( what would be the chronological order of elements experienced by learner )
time needed for redesign ( which elements would take most time and resources to redesign by our team )
potential weak spots of each element in relation to the SCARF model
Along the way , a few more previously unforeseen combinations emerged , helping me to uncover more possibilities .
Insight Having the visuals available and shuffling them around helped me to discover combinations I otherwise would not . Specifically , I have realized that rather than consider “ classroom training ” as an intact block , I can divide them into individual learning elements , some of which can be taken out of the classroom easily . Some short videos and readings that participants did in the classroom will be removed from the classroom content and provided as a stand - alone content accessible before and after the classroom .

the classroom content , so I could not see how it could be done differently and landscaping with Lego models provided me with the birds - eye view perspective .
The Impact of the new alignment should be shortening our classroom sessions to one day instead of two , limiting the travel costs for participants and their time of the job . Virtual learning content will also be provided between individual classroom sessions , to ensure continuous learning .
Approach Visualization using Lego bricks proved to be a practical , inexpensive and quick method to uncover different possible scenarios of the problem solution , where with no visuals one´s brain would be overwhelmed by the number of possible combinations . I am going to continue using this method in various stages of content preparation in this format .
At this point , I am looking into possibilities of using this method to brainstorm with my fellow team members .

Within the group we have two different institutions ( school brands ) with 6 different campuses around the world . Both institutions offer a premium education ( Bachelor degrees , Masters , MBA , Postgraduate degrees ) in the enlarged Hospitality Management Education sector . A majority of our new student recruitments happens via digital channels , our websites ( one main and local languages versions for each brand ) being the central touchpoint . We have historically had websites which were developed with a branding objective in mind , addressing the needs of potential students mainly .
As we have ambitious objectives to grow our number of enrolments , as well as showcase more our academic excellence , address a more diverse stakeholders base , and reflect the evolution of the positioning of both brands , we have decided to review our websites content , architecture and designs for each brand to optimise visitors satisfaction and grow the volume of leads captured .
This project is a key project for the future growth of our institutions and needs to align all different stakeholders ( Group Exec Mgt , Brands exec Mgt , faculty , marketing teams , brand teams , IT , Digital Marketing ) towards the same objective and expected outcome of the project , whilst making sure we keep the customer first approach .
Selection :
To start the project the right way and keep the executive Management in an open state of mind and not go to conclusions from the first workshops , whilst keeping a customer first approach , I decided to use the tool mind mapping in the first phase of the development of this project . I took reference from the video of Lydia Maldonado from Darden University in the week 3 of the course ( https://www.coursera.org/learn/ uva - darden - design - thinking - innovation / lecture / lsFRa / mind - mapping - tool ) . This phase of the project , in the What is phase of design thinking process , aims at looking at pattern and to generate insights for the second phase of this project , which will be the what if phase , starting to build user scenarios and website architecture . Therefore , for me , the mind mapping tool was perfect for me to deep dive into the what is phase of this design thinking exercise .
Application :
We have collected over the last few months a lot of qualitative data about our brands customer perceptions , how they describe us , what made them choose us . This important piece of research has informed us to renew our brands positioning . In parallel , we have worked together with existing students and the marketing teams to define different personas of potential students for our undergraduate and
postgraduate degrees for both brands . To this data sets come further data about visit flows , heatmaps , conversion rates , visits demographic origins , channel sources , lead to enrolment conversion rates taken from our website analytic tool , our marketing automation solution and our CRM . All these data points are a good base to Digg further in the what is phase with the management to set the right base to build the what if phase of the project . We built an “ art gallery ” in a very large room of our campus and asked the executive Management of the Group , as well as both brands to join for a day of a mind - mapping workshop . The art gallery was showing in different formats all the key elements of the different studies on papers , interview videos were available , as well as videos of definition of personas we had created in an earlier workshop . We started the day by doing two tours in parallel explaining to the present people which data was collected , what it meant , what we were expected as an outcome to the workshop . Each tour was brand specific , with the Exec Management of each brand being together , and a 50/50 split of the people from the Group level which were present . After the tour of the gallery , we asked the people present to take notes on post - it of what they thought were important elements to write down and share at a later stage . This stage was done individually and everyone was able to walk freely and gather their thoughts . After that , we created two groups ( one per brand ) to create clusters of the post - it notes they had written down , find patterns between them and asking them to write down the insights which would inform the next stage of the project and the project members . This last phase of the day is really tough , as people have been already long in a room and it is difficult to keep people focused and generate valuable insights .
Insight :
We thought with the team before the workshop that we would have in our mind most of the insights already . We were really surprised to see how much richer content and insights we got from the participants . Having people from the brands participating to the workshop enriched a lot the specific view and understanding of the different behaviours and needs of the brand specific audiences . We managed through this workshop to align our Management about the goals of the project and what needs it should answer , although it was at time very difficult to stay in the “ what is ” . Also , we generated more insights due to the very different profiles present in the workshop ( marketing , operations , Academic , Finance )
Approach :
We made an error to try to tackle the two brands in one workshop as we had a lot of common research documents which were shared by both brands . The problem of a
single workshop , even if we did separate groups , did not allow us to go deep enough and separate well enough the What is for each brand future websites needs .

Challenge & Selection For a few years in the world the trend of healthy eating has been taking place , in the last time the fact of taking care of health has become more important , and that is why people spend more time exercising and taking care of their diet . The consume of flour around the world has always been important , whether it is in the form of bread or in the form of cakes or desserts . Lately , people have been replacing the consumption of flour with that of whole wheat flour , and that is why the need for the production of this input arises . After having identified this need that was apparently not being satisfied , I proceeded to make a plan on how to carry out this undertaking . My idea from the beginning was to carry out this idea as a family business and somehow I had to show this project to my family . The tool what i choose was the Mind Mapping , generanding insights from exploration activities and using those to créate design criteria . Application The application of this tool is to capture the ideas that I had in my mind and thus be able to explain them to my family , so that in this way they understand the importance of developing this project . Insight & Approach I believe that the application of this tool was successful , in a very easy way you can make other people understand the ideas you have and thus have a satisfactory result . What I would do differently next time is to combine two tools in one , I think the results can be twice as satisfactory if we use more than one tool .

Challenge & Selection For a few years in the world the trend of healthy eating has been taking place , in the last time the fact of taking care of health has become more important , and that is why people spend more time exercising and taking care of their diet . The consume of flour around the world has always been important , whether it is in the form of bread or in the form of cakes or desserts . Lately , people have been replacing the consumption of flour with that of whole wheat flour , and that is why the need for the production of this input arises . After having identified this need that was apparently not being satisfied , I proceeded to make a plan on how to carry out this undertaking . My idea from the beginning was to carry out this idea as a family business and somehow I had to show this project to my family . The tool what i choose was the Mind Mapping , generanding insights from exploration activities and using those to créate design criteria . Application The application of this tool is to capture the ideas that I had in my mind and thus be able to explain them to my family , so that in this way they understand the importance of developing this project . Insight & Approach I believe that the application of this tool was successful , in a very easy way you can make other people understand the ideas you have and thus have a satisfactory result . What I would do differently next time is to combine two tools in one , I think the results can be twice as satisfactory if we use more than one tool .

Challenge and Selection
I have been working in the airline industry for almost 5 years in field of customer service . As the industry is now interrupted by the pandemic , my company is now looking for a new way of generating revenue by all departments , not only to overcome the hardship in the period but also for having products and services which can deliver greater long - term customer journey to our passengers .
Looking to customer feedback , I found that “ Priority ” is what is sometimes indeed required by other group of passengers , not only for frequent fryers . To make sure that our new product can truly fulfil the need of our passengers , I first categorise them into 4 major groups according to the record ; Leisure Traveller , Business Traveller , Homebound Traveller and Family Traveller . Then , further dig down to their problems and uncovered needs in each touchpoint . Mind Mapping will be used to quickly collect the information and find patterns of issues though and ethnographic interview , focus group and workshop with the group representatives . Hopefully , a well - designed pre - paid Priority Pass Package to each group will be the final outcome .
Application
The passengers will be requested to talk about the problems they had experienced from the beginning of their journey as booking tickets for either themselves or their family to the baggage service on arrival , note it down to post - its , and symbolise how they feel though emoji icons on the journey mapping board . By interviewing , customer values will be also tracked by asking “ why ” questions e.g why priority baggage will matter to you in family trips ? Why you need to get to the hotel early ? as the answers would be later useful marketing communications and the package design .
Insight and Approach
What we will attain from the the data collection would be the patterns of customer issues in each touchpoint . Those pattern can fundamentally test some hypothesis such as “ Will Priority Service be needed by each group of passengers ? ” , “ Homebound travellers are in need of Priority Baggage as the business travellers ? ” Accordingly , a prototype of Priority Pass Package can be created for further demand survey and product development . I found that the insight acquired would be really a very first step for my customer service team to come up with a new product that can both tackle the customer problem requesting temporary and unqualified priority and also be part of increasing ancillary revenue to the company at the same time , from existing service with new way of thinking .
For the next - time approach , I found that it would be useful to also use Mind Mapping technique with the frontline staff in each touchpoint to make a clearer whole picture of customer journey from knowing the service provider side . Also , once the prototypes of each package have been created , other techniques could also be used in the further experiment to test passenger demand such as visualisation to communicate abstract privileges of the package to passengers , storytelling to narrate the reason why the product has been created by focusing on passenger problems and the offered solutions .

CHALLENGE AND SELECTION :
Marketing the products which was produced by the famers is the major challenge to
them .
Transporting the product from the field to the market is another challenge faced by
them .
APPLICATION AND INSIGHTS :
Agriculture is the backbone of India . Since my business deals with agriculture , our
basic concern here is the challenges faced by the farmers . The major challenge for agriculture
is that it is dependent of seasonal rains . And India is a country that has been witnessing
drastic change in climate and seasonal rains in the recent past .
Since most of the crops are seasonal , the farmers do not have flow of income at all times of
the year . And even during the time of harvest he can not be sure about how much he can milk
from his yield . This unexpected situation creates a major problem to the farmers . Sometime
they ca n’t even meet the breakeven .
Farmers face transportation challenges on both ends of their business . The one that we think
about the most is when it comes to shipping their crops / animals / milk . Food , specifically raw
produce , is of perishable nature . In fact , milk gets special treatment when it comes to how it
is shipped and also fluctuation of price in the market is another problem faced by them . Due
to this problem the farmers were unable to bear the transportation cost . Due to unfair price for
the products in the market they threw the vegetables on the road side .
APPROACH :
Few industries are supporting the farmers by proving money to grow the crops . For example :
Sugar . Industries make the farmers to do continuous production of crop which make profit on
both the ends . While considering to the wide range of products such as fruits and vegetables
the farmer facing there are many challenges such as marketing and the transportation .
In order to help generate a regular mode of income for the famers by solving the marketing
and transportation challenges . My idea is to start a brand for their product and the products
will sell to the food processing industries . So I am using the story telling tool to solve the
challenges faced by the farmers . The industries can procure their raw materials from the
farmers through the common label . This business model can solve the problem of farmers by
eliminating the many distributors and middlemen from the process .

I am a member of my organization ’s supply chain project management department and my / our challenge is to improve the workflow ( activities and projects ) within the department in order to reduce COGS in the manufacturing processes and to cut lead times for active new project launches . The project scope included the project management department composed of six employees , as well as the marketing department and sales department , with whom we work closely . The project is limited to internal resources ( i.e. , budget and employee time ) . The project should not exceed 90 business days and the solution should include an even distribution of working hours amongst the team members . We will focus on trying to uncover what our team members , as well as key stakeholders within the marketing department and sales department , consider to be ineffective or problematic about the workflow .
Selection
Our team has already gone through several design thinking activities / tools , so we are ready to try the learning launch tool . Broadly speaking , the learning launch is an experiment meant to quickly test an idea and prototype .
Application
For our first learning launch , we focused on the structure / execution of our day to day project management tasks . In particular , we wanted to see if we could structure our tasks , projects , 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 a Scrum project management coach . Next , we went through five workshops to structure our tasks and processes in a more agile way . These two sessions occurred within in a three - week timeframe . We expected to produce a document with a clear description of our new , more agile processes / workflow . For our second learning launch , we focused on gaining clarity about our tasks and priorities . This tested our assumption that our prioritization of tasks was the main cause of our workflow challenge . Our team completed an anonymous survey . Additionally , five key stakeholders from the marketing department and sales department also completed an anonymous survey . The surveys included questions about our new , proposed process , understanding the process and the prioritization of tasks , and feelings about the change , and were conducted within a one - week timeframe .
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool , our team identified our assumptions and designed launches to test these assumptions . Additionally , we thought through anticipated results , expecting to find that a more agile approach would improve our workflow , and that both our team and the key stakeholders would be fairly open to the new prioritization of tasks and process . Our actual results were slightly different from what we anticipated : while our team was open to the prioritization of tasks and process , the key stakeholders in the marketing department and sales department expressed some concerns around meeting targeted cost goals and lead times on NPDs . Moving forward , our team will review this insight and incorporate it into future launch designs . The ongoing incorporation of insight is particularly important at this stage , as launches come before a full rollout in the design thinking timeline .
Approach
Given that our team has already gone through several design thinking activities / tools and are at this stage in the timeline , the learning launch is the appropriate tool . As previously mentioned , our team needs to review the insight gained from our first two launches and incorporate this insight into future launch designs . Future launch designs should reflect insight gained , progress made , and come closer to a compelling solution ready for full rollout .

Challenge & Selection
For me , Storytelling is a proven device which I have used often than not , to drive home some salient points to my listeners . It ’s comparable to ingredients that are needed to cook a good meal . I am an Aviation Technician , working in an industry where safety is paramount concern . Non adherence to safety measures could be life costly not to mention the material expenses that comes with it . I have worked in this field for a long time and now , I am imparting my knowledge to others aspiring to be in this professional . So , as I have learned working alongside other colleagues , some of whom are young , they often in their early stage , are prone to making costly and avoidable mistakes . I learned from their narratives why they made some of those silly errors and shared my own stories with them as well , to help them understand the processes in a vivid way . Because many of them are with strong youthful exuberance and with minds full of adventure , it ’s often very useful to demonstrate the need for them to paying good attention and maintain focus why dealing with dangerous tasks that can pose a threat their lives and others resulting from lapses in professional discipline . So , I share my stories with them to help them avoid falling into such bottlenecks in their career . From their opinion I was able to garner useful information to develop further improved methods to aid their professional career .
Application
Let me tell a story of how I have used storytelling as a tool , in the past . In addressing the issues of safety and its hazards from non - compliance at work , the company was grappling with the dilemma of having to explain how to explain the consequences of dangers arising from accidents occurring due to non - adherence to safety procedures , with highly graphical pictures of previous incidents . It was a moral issue between depicting the reality or merely through verbal or written communications . So , I thought the better way to go about this was to make a video simulation of what can happen and how to avoid it in a kind of interactive way , in which everyone can participate . If the simulations can be real enough with everyone experiencing what it could be like if an accident occurs without anyone actually getting hurt in the process , then that might change their perception about the need to prioritize safety in their activities .
Insight & Approach
I suggested the idea to our safety officer and through the support of the company , a Simulation Videos where integrated into the program . Well it turn out that the workers appreciated the notion too judging by the numbers of turnout for the classes and subsequent changes in their attitudes towards safety measures .
I disclosed to some of the participants , how my perception about using safety belts changed , after I had watched a video simulation about “ test dolls ” and see what can happen when not used in an accident . Furthermore , also my drive with a professional car safety instructor .
This course has broadened my insight about the usefulness of it as tool in everyday life more than I had previously thought possible .
Thanks to this new acquired knowledge , I can now make my preparations in advance and think about stories that will aid me of how best to demonstrate my ideas .

Challenge :
I am currently working in the capacity of Strategy & Marketing manager for the ‘ Center of Excellence ’ for an MNC . I primarily deal with the OTC drugs , cosmeceuticals and nutraceutical businesses the organization has across multiple emerging markets . While direct to consumer ( DTC ) promotion is a key source of business , we also derive significant value by promoting portfolio to doctors and other relevant health care professionals ( HCP ) in the countries .
Prior to COVID-19 , physical face to face interaction was the most popular mode of communication with HCPs . Digital marketing was used as additional channels to increase visibility and share of voice . Customer engagement model was predominantly based on real experiences through physical presence at sponsored seminars , round tables etc . However during COVID , the scope for physical interactions reduced significantly . The country marketing teams were required to quickly shift from the physical model to a digital model of customer ( HCP ) interactions . The criticality of digital is now considered supreme even in a post COVID world based on the sheer advantages it generates .
I was faced with the task of uplifting the digital skillset of the marketing teams so as to consolidate their existing knowledge and induce necessary up - gradation to deliver their marketing goals through digital marketing initiatives .
Selection :
Over the course of several interactions , I realized that the marketing teams had existing knowledge about digital platforms and engagement models , however the degrees of comfort varied considerably . Consolidation of fragmented knowledge and beliefs into a structured algorithm delivering customer value through digital marketing was the need of the hour . So to bring things into perspective I picked up the design marketing tool ‘ VISUALIZATION ’ , so as to clearly explain the interconnections of different stakeholders , concepts , customer life cycle stages and measurable KPIs . I created process algorithms through VISUALIZATION tool to provide absolute clarity to the internal customers .
Application :
The target audience was ready with their business objectives and they also translated these to marketing objectives . My task started there . The process of converting the marketing objectives to digital marketing objectives and subsequently to customer facing touch - points based on customer needs was demonstrated . The overlap of brand needs and customer needs was highlighted as the key action area , which were subsequently taken up for ‘ content strategy ’ .

A glimpse of one of the VISUALIZATION slide :
Insight :
Over the first few interactions , when I tried to provide digital solutions to individual marketing problems , it seemed ad - hoc and the participants in most of the cases were not being able to carry forward the learnings to the next problem he / she was trying to solve . However when the VISUALIZATION tool was adopted , a clear understanding and road map was successfully created with most participants and they took forward the learnings to create sustainable digital engagement plan for the external customers . This will encourage me to use the tool in future to solve diverse communication challenges .
Approach :
Continuous improvement in marketing or processes is a dynamic loop . Based on your strategy , execution has to follow and then the findings / impact have to be fed back as a ‘ feedback loop ’ to continuously improve the process . Even when you have explained through VISUALIZATION tool , the level of understanding might vary across the recipients as some elements may or may not resonate with them . It ’s hence imperative that feedback is collected and based on that continuous improvement is pursued for improving the visualization . This is something I intend to follow to pursue sustainable improvement .

### Input: Utilization of design thinking tool towards solving an organizational challenge
Challenge :
I am currently working in the capacity of Strategy & Marketing manager for the ‘ Center of Excellence ’ for an MNC . I primarily deal with the OTC drugs , cosmeceuticals and nutraceutical businesses the organization has across multiple emerging markets . While direct to consumer ( DTC ) promotion is a key source of business , we also derive significant value by promoting portfolio to doctors and other relevant health care professionals ( HCP ) in the countries .
Prior to COVID-19 , physical face to face interaction was the most popular mode of communication with HCPs . Digital marketing was used as additional channels to increase visibility and share of voice . Customer engagement model was predominantly based on real experiences through physical presence at sponsored seminars , round tables etc . However during COVID , the scope for physical interactions reduced significantly . The country marketing teams were required to quickly shift from the physical model to a digital model of customer ( HCP ) interactions . The criticality of digital is now considered supreme even in a post COVID world based on the sheer advantages it generates .
I was faced with the task of uplifting the digital skillset of the marketing teams so as to consolidate their existing knowledge and induce necessary up - gradation to deliver their marketing goals through digital marketing initiatives .
Selection :
Over the course of several interactions , I realized that the marketing teams had existing knowledge about digital platforms and engagement models , however the degrees of comfort varied considerably . Consolidation of fragmented knowledge and beliefs into a structured algorithm delivering customer value through digital marketing was the need of the hour . So to bring things into perspective I picked up the design marketing tool ‘ VISUALIZATION ’ , so as to clearly explain the interconnections of different stakeholders , concepts , customer life cycle stages and measurable KPIs . I created process algorithms through VISUALIZATION tool to provide absolute clarity to the internal customers .
Application :
The target audience was ready with their business objectives and they also translated these to marketing objectives . My task started there . The process of converting the marketing objectives to digital marketing objectives and subsequently to customer facing touch - points based on customer needs was demonstrated . The overlap of brand needs and customer needs was highlighted as the key action area , which were subsequently taken up for ‘ content strategy ’ . The final part was most important and exciting which described sustaining a customer from the ‘ awareness ’ phase of a customer life cycle to final ‘ usage / advocacy / loyalty ’ phase through a digital journey .

Story telling is something which can take the listener to another world through his own visualization . SO , story telling in a way also provides room for visualization . The better story telling of the teller , the better the listener can visualize the details of the story and remember it through his lifetime . There are instances where I see this working very effectively . I got a chance to visit one of the child orphan homes . When I go there , I often sit with them and try to listen to what they are doing . I am surprised by the level of detail and enthusiasm they show while telling any story . The challenge here is that most of the children lack the parenthood . SO when I go there , I like to make them feel joyful and give a part of motivation and inspiration to stay strong amid all the things in life .
Application :
During this time of covid , many orphan homes were affected due to lack of funds and they are surviving with what they have . While some of the children got affected with covid and eventually recovered , I could sense a lack of energy in them when compared to before the pandemic . I was intrigued to know what is happening in the minds of the children at that time because sharing about their sorrows ( if they have any ) will always relieve them and gives them different perspective towards their life . So , when I sat with a 8 year boy and asked him to share about what is happening in his life , he opened up and told me about how covid has impacted his home and friends . He was praying for some of his friends who were affected . Then I took his arms into my hands and started sharing a story of my friend .
Insight & Approach :
I told him a story of doctor who has a passion of building his own hospital for children like him and elderly . The doctor was so passionate about children that he gave up his high paying job and determined to serving underprivileged children . The doctor was so natural in bringing joy and smile to the faces of the children around him . He got covid eventually and died serving one of the children in the hospital . I ended the story by saying that amid uncertainties , we should be strong and grateful to the people who are doing exceptional service keeping their life at stake .
After telling this story , I could see the boy starting crying and hugged me . He said that he will become a doctor himself and serve underprivileged children like him . I then realized the power of story telling and what kind of change it can bring to the life of everyone around us .
With the tools I learned in this course , I could leverage the story telling technique in it ’s full strength and put it good use .

“ Stories , where Time meets Life ”
Challenge
First of all , I would like to tell my reader that I have n’t graduated yet and my challenge will stay below a real time job experience . However , I still consider it as a test that provides a sneak peak of what obstacles I may endure during my development as a professional . To put you in context , I ’ll tell you that I ’m coursing my senior year in graphic design at Universidad
de San Carlos de Guatemala in Honduras . During my 3rd year I encountered a course called “ Outreach Campaigns ” which basically consisted in creating an adequate concept based on a study on the target and every detail researched to develop a full campaign . Once , my professor assigned everyone to come up with a concept for a relative organ donation campaign but it had to be subtle enough to be accepted by the audience . This becomes a difficult situation because our Honduran society is very conservative about “ touching ” or maintaining corpses as they are dead , from their immediate family ( parents , sons , daughters , grandfathers ) or relatives ( uncles , aunts , cousins , nieces , etc . ) . So , the challenge eradicated in persuading these people that find it hard to donate their deceased loved ones ’ healthy organs to people they do n’t know .
The purpose of this campaign was for people to understand that even though their family was gone , they could still help another family . But the question of how to tell them without sounding hard - heartedness grew bigger and bigger knowing that our culture considers corpses sacred and that they need to be buried with honor . Clearly , sending a direct message of how transplants from dead donators would save other people was not going to be the best appeal for those who valued burying their loved one with honor more than caring for people they do n’t know .
Selection
Family relations are a very delicate subject to talk about , even the slightest details . That ’s the reason why I tried to understand how these people who lost their family felt . I always try to empathize with everyone ’s feelings in order to know how to help them . In this case , as humans , we communicate how we feel in very different ways but at the end they always converge in stories . Because of this , I decided to use storytelling . It´s easier for people to open up when they “ show ” you the impact that person had in their lives and how losing them changed their whole perspective of how to live . Using storytelling was my way of demonstrating them how this person that wasn´t here anymore would change someone else ’s life .
Just in Week 2 , I strengthened how storytelling appeals deeper than any other tool . And I quote textually :
“ It has emotional connection , and it also has larger purpose . ”
For this reason , I decided that storytelling was going to be useful to persuade someone to allow the organs of their deceased relatives be donated to save someone else ’s life .
Application
Storytelling became my blade to fight the wrong idea that donating a dead person ’s organs was unrespectful for them . Honestly , I had a close experience with an aunt that survived thanks to someone else ’s heart
donation . Unfortunately , that person died in an accident but his heart was untouched so the doctors called my aunt that night to tell her that she could live at least 10 more years . This could n’t have been possible if that person ’s guardian had not allowed his organs to be donated past death . That experience taught me that donations became the gift of time . More time to laugh with your loved one , more time to wake up every morning to sunrays , more time to travel … more time to be alive .
I was very happy to hear that my concept was a success . People ’s responses had a positive outcome because telling my story and how someone ’s death represented someone ’s life showed them the greater significance their loved one could accomplish . After death , their relatives became life and time for someone else and this person was even more honored . And that it was all possible thanks to the ones that allowed the donation . This showed them their little but very significant support in the whole process . The campaign was launched among some students at the university . That ’s how I can tell that it had positive responses .
Insight
Normally , I would like to create stories of my own and write them on my journal . But the fact that I could actually use one for a campaign and help others in a massive level convinced me of how powerful storytelling could be . This tool and the possible uses I could give it were reinforced through this design thinking course . I now have a very clear perspective on how my stories applied correctly to find solutions may impact positively in others . However , I too , understand that storytelling extends wider than I thought and that I must become careful in managing the organization of events to cause a positive response .
Approach
As I said earlier , storytelling is a very useful tool . The diversity of applications storytelling has , opens up millions of possibilities to reach people ’s motives and call them to action . It ’s this specific detail that limits the freedom we might think we have using storytelling . That ’s why in this particular challenge I encountered there ’s also another approach to communicate my message . Considering that humans depend on their senses and that sight is the strongest one that we trust , my other option in this challenge would have been visualization . Graphic content can also contain strong conceptual messages that appeal to people ’s feelings and transmit emotions through color and forms placing them in a scenario that puts them in some kind of context .

Storytelling
Storytelling describes the social and cultural activity of sharing stories , sometimes with improvisation , theatrics or
embellishment . Every culture has its own stories or narratives , which are shared as a means of entertainment ,
education , cultural preservation or instilling moral values .
Storytelling predates writing . The earliest forms of storytelling were usually oral combined with gestures and
expressions . In addition to being part of religious rituals , some archaeologists believe rock art may have served as a
form of storytelling for many ancient cultures.[2 ] The Australian aboriginal people painted symbols from stories on cave
walls as a means of helping the storyteller remember the story . The story was then told using a combination of oral
narrative , music , rock art and dance , which bring understanding and meaning of human existence through
remembrance and enactment of stories.[3 ] People have used the carved trunks of living trees and ephemeral media ( such as sand and leaves ) to record stories in pictures or with writing . Complex forms of tattooing may also represent
stories , with information about genealogy , affiliation and social status.[4 ]
With the advent of writing and the use of stable , portable media , stories were recorded , transcribed and shared over wide regions of the world . Stories have been carved , scratched , painted , printed or inked onto wood or bamboo , ivory and other bones , pottery , clay tablets , stone , palm - leaf books , skins ( parchment ) , bark cloth , paper , silk , canvas and
other textiles , recorded on film and stored electronically in digital form . Oral stories continue to be created ,
improvisationally by impromptu storytellers , as well as committed to memory and passed from generation to generation ,
despite the increasing popularity of written and televised media in much of the world .

Using Storytelling and Visualization Tools to Drive Business Innovation
Challenge
Working as a Data Scientist in a bank , I often face multiple design challenges . My work involves using advanced , new , and creative ways to create valuable solutions out of the data within our organization . This includes the full process from understanding the business problem , to creating the solution and finally to deliver the solution back to the stakeholders . However , one of the major challenges I face is how to present my work to the stakeholders to get their buy - in . Because of the well - established nature of the financial industry , it becomes quite hard to convince the stakeholders with new ways of doing business . Especially given that the solutions provided include some unconventional math and novel advanced technologies .
Selection
However , despite being limited by the classical ways of delivering similar projects , which are mainly through documents , manuals , and emails . I decided to tackle this , by resorting to a new way of doing business presentations . That is using a mix of both storytelling and visualization tools , in a workshop - like setting .
Application
The workshop started by going through the business challenge and how this affects our business , and most importantly where are the opportunities . Then proceeded by introducing a fictional graphical character called " Adam . " This character represents a customer who uses our products and services . Then step by step , we start to follow Adam 's journey of interactions with our products throughout the day . Using multiple graphical elements and illustrations , I demonstrated how Adam interacts with , for example , his credit card , and how his interactions reflect in our data systems . Accordingly , we now have a premise to think about how could enhance Adam 's experience . And how the new solution can be utilized in each step of Adam 's journey to provide him with a better service .
Insight
By applying this method I managed to provide my audience with a new tool for customer- centric decision making . That is how to think about the products and services with the customer in mind . Additionally , I demonstrated the complex , technical internals of the new , and advanced technological solutions in a simplified manner . This manner not only relatable and tied to the customer 's day - to - day journey , but also the stakeholder 's day - to - day business activities . Accordingly , it became easier to show how to utilize those solutions to help in enhancing the customer 's experience .
Approach
However , what I might do differently next time , would be involving the business stakeholders from day one in the solution design process . The provided solution might be useful in enhancing some of the business processes as is , but other processes might need to be changed to suit the new methods . This is in some cases infeasible or sometimes inconvenient . Accordingly , early involvement should enable a more comprehensive coverage of all the business activities relevant to the problem at hand .

This includes the full process from understanding the business problem , to creating the solution and finally to deliver the solution back to the stakeholders . However , one of the major challenges I face is how to present my work to the stakeholders to get their buy - in . Because of the well - established nature of the financial industry , it becomes quite hard to convince the stakeholders with new ways of doing business . Especially given that the solutions provided include some unconventional math and novel advanced technologies .
Selection
However , despite being limited by the classical ways of delivering similar projects , which are mainly through documents , manuals , and emails . I decided to tackle this , by resorting to a new way of doing business presentations . That is using a mix of both storytelling and visualization tools , in a workshop - like setting .
Application
The workshop started by going through the business challenge and how this affects our business , and most importantly where are the opportunities . Then proceeded by introducing a fictional graphical character called " Adam . " This character represents a customer who uses our products and services . Then step by step , we start to follow Adam 's journey of interactions with our products throughout the day . Using multiple graphical elements and illustrations , I demonstrated how Adam interacts with , for example , his credit card , and how his interactions reflect in our data systems . Accordingly , we now have a premise to think about how could enhance Adam 's experience . And how the new solution can be utilized in each step of Adam 's journey to provide him with a better service .
Insight
By applying this method I managed to provide my audience with a new tool for customer- centric decision making . That is how to think about the products and services with the customer in mind . Additionally , I demonstrated the complex , technical internals of the new , and advanced technological solutions in a simplified manner . This manner not only relatable and tied to the customer 's day - to - day journey , but also the stakeholder 's day - to - day business activities . Accordingly , it became easier to show how to utilize those solutions to help in enhancing the customer 's experience .
Approach
However , what I might do differently next time , would be involving the business stakeholders from day one in the solution design process . The provided solution might be useful in enhancing some of the business processes as is , but other processes might need to be changed to suit the new methods . This is in some cases infeasible or sometimes inconvenient . Accordingly , early involvement should enable a more comprehensive coverage of all the business activities relevant to the problem at hand .

Challenge & Selection The tool that I chose is the learning launch tool , this tool will help gain insight on what people need and experiment with different ideas to choose the best one through trial and error . As well as collect data that will be useful if I applied it or if I decided to shelf an idea for the future . The challenge I will propose my solution to is online learning methods for middle school students during this pandemic , especially online meetings . My team will consist of a diverse group of teachers , psychologists , IT specialists and a statistical consultant . During these online meetings the teacher explains their material using slides , videos , and some other form of documents . For some students this may be a problem since they can not focus or they have too many distractions in their household , as a parent myself I find it very hard to look over my children while they study . Even if they look focused sometimes their minds wander off . Application The application will include a survey sent to the students as well as the parents / guardians , the scope will cover one class from each grade of one school . The first step will be a base for the idea , it consists of collecting data that will help us identify what students and parents truly need . In the survey there will be a different and more unique method of learning that I think will make students pay more attention and engage with the class and the teacher . Through a survey , we can customize the learning experience of the student for example , some students may be able to focus for 20 minutes but after that they lose their attention , so a class ’s duration would be tweaked to their needs . The students who have similar answers on the survey will be grouped on the same class and have their own schedule that can truly optimize their learning experience . After applying the learning launch their grades will be compared before and after the learning launch as well as their attendance and behavior towards their learning experience .
The second learning launch will be the way of teaching , some students are more of a visual learner than an auditory learner , a second survey will be surrounding this topic . There is a test where students can find out what type of learning styles they are the best at , and based on that the material will be customized for the student that will help in honing their skills and most importantly keeping their minds active throughout the school day . Insight After the learning launch , our team would have gathered enough knowledge about this topic and could create a hybrid of learning styles and duration by mashing some of the most common responses found in the survey , but not forgetting the outliers , and making a special schedule and learning style for them to engage with . Or perhaps create a software with an algorithm that could accurately tailor each student ’s needs and learning style into a clear schedule . Regarding syncing up with the class , since schedules would be different . Assignments ’ deadlines would have a range for example 2 - 3 days after all students finish from a lesson where they could have enough time to submit their homework . Approach To conclude , the learning launch tool is very useful to identify peoples ’ needs and it ’s is great for narrowing an idea into a specific concept . These are just the first two launches meaning more will happen and these results and data will be crucial to perfecting the system that was already built by our team .

Challenge : I was preparing for my CFA Level 1 exam and it was getting difficult for me to grasp the concept of Mortgage - Backed Securities ( MBS ) . I was getting confused regarding the entire deal flow , as to how the money exchanges hands among banks , customers , investment banks and credit default swap providers .
Selection : The tool that I selected to help me understand MBS better was the visualization tool . The tool would help me get a pictorial representation of the flow of money amongst the concerned stakeholders , and understand why the flow is taking place .
Application : I used the visualization tool to first sketch all the concerned stakeholders . I then drew arrows to help me understand how money is passed from one hand to another . Beside each stakeholder , I drew in simple terms their reason for the transaction . This helped me gain a clear picture of MBS .
Insight : I learned that pictures help one gain a better understanding of a particular concept and that they stay in our memory for a longer period of time . I also understood that its easier to recollect pictures than words .
Approach : For every concept I do n’t understand henceforth , I will make charts , graphs , sketches and icons to help me gain a better understanding of the concept . I would also look at various videos for the concept that can help me gain a better understanding .

1 . Challenge : In the automotive industry , the pressure for cost reduction is
extremely high . This , at the end of the day , translates into very lean work teams that need to perform a large number of tasks on different topics . The challenges in achieving results are enormous and a motivated team , even if a small team , is key to make things happen . It is in this context , where doing more with less resources is fundamental , that the Storytelling tool fits perfectly .
2 . Selection : We all have good stories to tell . In my perception , it is one of the
most important tasks of a leader to observe the scenario of the challenges around him and seek within his previous experiences , which ones best fit the challenge that the team is facing at that moment . I used storytelling on different occasions in my work at Spark Project as a powerful motivational tool without cost of implementation .
3 . Application : In 2013 , the automaker in which I was the Quality Manager
was undergoing a series of transformations due to the implementation of a new vehicle on the assembly line . The new product had a predetermined launch date ( and could not be changed due to market conditions ) . Operational performance was not good , especially related to electrical connections ( which is currently the majority of operations performed by General Assembly team ) . I had been in a similar situation before and knew that a team with different knowledge and from different areas of the company , with the necessary motivation and resources , could handle the task . I selected the people , created the work group , together we set the goals and before starting the activities I told a little of the experience I had with a similar problem in a not too distant past . The strategy would be to divide the tasks between the work teams , sharing in real time the results with them and working on initiatives that increase accountability . The result was a success , in addition to the team having engaged in the tasks , we exceeded expectations regarding the results to be achieved and this was the best vehicle launch at GM .
4 . Insight : Group knowledge is always superior to individual knowledge .
Different opinions with a common objective are able to leverage the results , we just need to bring the objectives clearly , form a favorable environment for creation , offer the resources ( which most of the time are simple things but that make a total difference ) and believe in people . Storytelling is a simple and powerful tool that needs to be used widely in our lives ( not just professional but also in our personal challenges ) .
5 . Approach : I believe that the challenge is to bring the benefits of storytelling
to larger groups of people . Applying this tool with small groups ( for example , engineers or group leaders ) is simple , but applying this initiative with people on shop floor we can achieve even greater goals .

Challenge
I am a consultant in a corporate wellbeing consultancy firm . The wellness programs we work on have the challenging task of improving productivity by improving employee mental and physical health while at the same time reducing employee - related expenses ( due , for example , to high turnover rates or excessive absenteeism ) . One of my main clients , a global advertising and PR firm , dealt with a daunting statistic : 69 % of their worldwide , female employees who recently had a child resigned within the first year after giving birth . This phenomenon had a negative impact on the company in terms of employee turnover and reputation among potential new hires .
My team and I have been then hired to design and develop a welfare program specifically targeted at this segment of the company population . Our goal was to reduce the number of resignations among new mothers as well as providing them with all the tools to get the most out of their new , juggling role of working mothers and improve their work - life balance .
Selection
My team and I gathered a massive amount of data through internal surveys and ethnographic interviews to correctly address the challenge by getting to know working mothers ’ needs and pain points . We then decided to use the mind mapping tool because we needed to find patterns and meaningful insights from this data that could be useful to design the welfare program .
Application
We booked a large meeting room for a whole morning and involved some of the employees already interviewed / surveyed as well as some people from the client ’s HR team to present the research ’s first results . The goal was to represent the mind of the employed working mothers with a visual map : their needs , their struggles , their desires and aspirations regarding their career , their work - life - balance - related concerns . We wanted to eventually come up with an action plan aimed at successfully meeting their instances by designing the welfare program . We presented all the aggregated data emerging from the quantitative research as well as the most interesting quotes from the individual interviews . We equipped each meeting attendant with a notepad , pens , highlighters , markers and sticky notes and asked them to review all the material for one hour without talking with other attendants . We then spent the next two hours comparing the participants ' notes and reflections , brainstorming to identify the main peculiarities and issues related to the concept of “ working mother ” - which resulted into an extensive mind map . In the last hour we reviewed all the concepts and connections emerged in the mind map and based on that , we discussed the possible solutions that the company could implement to meet the employees ’ needs .
Insight
Many associations – in different ways related to the concept of “ working mother ” - emerged from the workshop exercise , but the main ones were the following :
Guilt . No matter where they are , working mothers always feel like they should be elsewhere , getting something productive done for their family or career . They experience a profound sense of guilt for letting their team or boss down and , at the same time , feel like they ’re not taking good care of their children . It feels like a no - win situation , preventing them from fully being in the moment whether at home or work , and fueling feelings of exhaustion and defeat that can lead them to burnout .
Overwhelm . Working mothers are chasing the balance of working a job they want / need and being the present mother they want to be . This delicate balance often leaves little to no room for self- care , including mental health improvement .
Flexibility . Mothers need flexible work schedules to accommodate the demands of parenting . From the survey , lack of flexible work emerged as the # 1 cause that keeps mothers from staying in the company ’s workforce . Remote working ( total or partial ) and flexible working hours would be great allies for their work - life balance .
Support . Working mothers are aware that they do n’t have to do everything on their own to be a good mom , or a good employee . Robust benefits such as paid time off for taking care of their families , paid maternity leave , employer - sponsored daycare for their children , breastfeeding / pumping areas and other on - site amenities ( concierge services , fitness and yoga classes , free counseling / therapy sessions … ) would be perceived as priceless perks for them .
Approach
People problems are business problems : employers need to be vigilant in making sure working mothers are supported and their needs are met . Using the mind map as the design thinking tool of choice for this workshop shifted the focus from data to possibilities , unleashing participants ’ creativity and intuition . Data points and research were still the starting point , but the creative , human - centered approach led to unexpected and innovative solutions , and ultimately to design , test and launch a wellbeing program specifically tailored for my client ’s mother employees .

Challenge
I am a student of industrial engineering in Peru , in this last cycle of my career I take a course called “ Project Management ” , in which it is a practical course , the objective is to make a Business Plan that works in the market ; For this as a group , the first phase is to create a Business Model based on a new product that generates value in the current context ; However , we now live in a context of Covid-19 , where people 's needs have changed , so choosing a product in this context represents a real challenge for us , to this is added the great demand of our teacher , and The little access that we study them , we have to do a deeper investigation regarding a novel product that adds value in the current context , being industrial engineering students who can only meet via virtual .
Selection
When I got to know the Mind Mapping tool , I was surprised that it is precisely what we were looking for , when I listened to Jamal 's presentation and deepened the tool with Adriana Rodriguez , I understood that this tool is more powerful than one knows . you can imagine . Mind Mapping is a tool used to find patterns and perspectives that lead to more creative solutions to the design challenge . When it is mentioned that this tool has been used by managers , companies , agencies and even students , I understood that it will be a real pleasure to apply it for the challenge I have , the main reason for selecting this tool is that we have already defined the first phase of Design Thinking that It is related to working on a business idea with a novel product that adds value in this context that we are experiencing , and before moving on to the next phase of What if ? , the Mind Mapping tool will be excellent for this purpose .
Application
First , our work team looked for a tool to be able to capture our ideas since it must be virtual , ( in my country it was required to do online classes and not face - to - face due to the context of Covid-19 ) we simply let each of the five members that we are choose the best virtual tool for your best comfort , some chose to present it in PowerPoint , others in Prezi and others in Google Slides ; The objective was clear , to choose a novel product that adds value in the market under the current context and under the few research possibilities that we have ( we only had information on the internet and with the experience of some ) , for this we had two weeks to find out what more than we can .
Second , after two weeks , each one presented their parts of work in their respective presentation tool , which by democracy we chose to capture it all at the end of each presentation in a shared document ; the positive aspects were described in green rectangles , and the negative aspects in red rectangles .
In the end , each one had a time of 10 minutes to decide whether to add something or change it , they were few but there were , perhaps what was exposed by another colleague influenced them to see a better amplitude than what they could find .
Insight
The information we obtained was beneficial for everyone , as we had many positive aspects and some negative aspects on the screen for choosing a new product that adds value under the current context ; aspects such as the change in preferences of the current consumer for basic necessities , preferences for hygiene and personal protection products , the new disciplines of the current consumer , the policies by Peru that allowed only certain sectors to produce , that is , sectors can produce nothing else , all this helped us to reach the following conclusion : “ In order to choose a novel product that adds
value in this current context of the Coid-19 , it was to think of an existing product , which can either satisfy the consumer need in food , or in personal hygiene , or a product that can be produced whatever happens with the macro environment , such as what happened in a pandemic where policies only allow you to continue with certain businesses ” .
Approach
There is no doubt that the Mind Mapping tool apart from being powerful unites us all , I think that for the next time and if the policies of my country allow it , we could focus on applying this tool with market research , this is because if having limits of only using internet information , Mind Mapping works wonders , I am eager to find out when I can use it in a face - to - face environment .

### Input: Mind Mapping for my Project University
Challenge
I am a student of industrial engineering in Peru , in this last cycle of my career I take a course called “ Project Management ” , in which it is a practical course , the objective is to make a Business Plan that works in the market ; For this as a group , the first phase is to create a Business Model based on a new product that generates value in the current context ; However , we now live in a context of Covid-19 , where people 's needs have changed , so choosing a product in this context represents a real challenge for us , to this is added the great demand of our teacher , and The little access that we study them , we have to do a deeper investigation regarding a novel product that adds value in the current context , being industrial engineering students who can only meet via virtual .

Peer - graded Assignment Reflection : Learning Launch
Elena Chernov
Challenge & Selection
I have a customer in the consumer goods industry that needed to solve a communication gap with their manufacturing workforce . They explored an opportunity to leverage mobile app technology to send work related content such as plant closures , overtime commitment reminders and plant events to their 3000 + non - technical employees . They determined that they would build a Minimum Viable Product ( MVP ) application for both Android and IOS mobile devices . It was determined through ethnographic research that the workforce had a mix of personal device types , devices varied in age and operating system versions , and simple applications were preferred over applications with too many layers . Additionally , the staff is non - technical and would need assistance with loading the app on their devices . My team selected a Learning Launch which is a small experimental test to determine if the idea was viable in the marketplace or an internal user base , in this challenge . This tool was a good fit for an experimental mobile app that was 70 % complete with an unknown potential adoption rate . What my customer assumed to be true was that the workforce would be interested in receiving work related content quickly and conveniently through their personal mobile devices . As indicated by Walton in his video , my customer had the need to confirm or disconfirm their assumptions which would save them money and time spent on developing a full mobile app . Similar to the trade show Learning Launch for IBM , our team gathered information on additional key factors that would inform the application content , preferred deployment process and understand any risk or challenges that had not been discovered to date during the project .
Application
It was agreed upon to roll out the mobile application to one selected manufacturing plant for a ( 90 ) day period . The application would be deployed in the first two weeks of the learning launch using a mix of trained contract employees and app team members . A communication plan started 30 days in advance to notify the employees of the application pilot and invited them to try the test application . The team equipped with launch materials set up tables at multiple “ high traffic ” locations in the plant for visibility . On day one of the pilot , all team members deployed the application while other team members watched how the employees reacted , documented any challenges in the deployment process and questions that were asked by the employees . Observations were collected after each of the three shifts for a brief discussion the next morning . Pivots in deployment processes or explanations of how the application would be used were done regularly throughout the first two weeks . For instance , the use of company Wi - Fi was not in scope but the use of personal data became a concern to many pilot users . After a review with leadership , company Wi - Fi access was opened up to the pilot users which drove more adopters , but started the discussion on new governance usage policies , and the need to review possible expansion of the Wi - Fi system to include new wireless access points to improve coverage . A technical concern that became a barrier to adoption was the employees concern over “ Big Brother ” on their personal devices . Several questions arose over the concern of tracking and use of location services
at the plant and home which were not part of the application but required explanation . All of these concerns would have to be addressed prior to a roll out to the entire manufacturing team nationwide .
The launch was so effective at collecting issues surrounding the use of personal devices , that a second Learning Launch was added at the half - way point . The team needed to limit the operating system versions and size of the phones that they could deploy the application on in order to provide the best customer experience when using the application during the pilot . The new launch deployed strategically placed company shared iPads that had the mobile application already loaded on the device . Employee sign - ins and content utilization rates for both device types were collected to determine if one , both or none would be in the final solution at the end of the Learning Launch events .
Insight
What was gained from both Learning Launch events greatly impacted the client considering the application as a means to provide corporate driven communications to the plant employees . All the data collected through the mobile app usage , in - person engagement and deployment challenges the team faced was aggregated and reviewed to see what worked . Key implementation and support factors were uncovered during the launch deployment process that would relegate the Apple or Android minimum device specifications . It was also determined that acceptable use polices for Wi - Fi and shared devices would need to be drafted and approved through senior leadership and legal . Adding more coverage to the plants existing Wi - Fi infrastructure was a hidden cost that would require a new project and a new budget to ensure high workforce adoption rate and alleviate the employees concern of depleting their own data packages . The Design Thinking Framework provided an understanding of ways that could have been used to uncover some of the basic concerns over how the mobile application would be used by the company from a user perspective , a design tool such as Journey Mapping during the ‘ What is ’ stage could have driven out better interaction points to include the concern for data usage and company Wi - Fi constraints in the plant . Many assumptions by the company were confirmed , but the newly uncovered challenges at this stage provided invaluable insight that could be reviewed to pivot at a savings to a full deployment of a mobile application that would require re - work and a poor customer experience with their employees .
Approach
If faced with a similar challenge , I would use a Learning Launch again with the Journey Mapping design tool . With Journey Mapping I would hope to gain insights on how they would use it during their day in the plant and what is / could be of concern while using the application . As a non - technical person , would I understand that it would not track my location if the services were not turned on in my settings ? I believe there were several opportunities that could have aided in the preparation of the app team and educated the pilot base prior to the Learning Launch event . The Learning Launch is still the right choice in this scenario . The employee / app team touch points were both enlightening and provided additional feedback for alternative tools that the employees were looking for in the future – new ideas / new opportunity to ‘ WoW ’ .

Challenge & Selection : The tool I am using is the tool of Visualization or Visual Thinking . The
content of the rubric represents the best thinking in the field of data visualization about what it means to create meaningful and truthful graphics . Much of the content of the rubric represent the best thinking in data visualization , but there are a few places that are questionable . It is difficult to tell what the rubric is intended to assess and the content is far removed from the best thinking in data visualization . The content of the rubric aligns with the objectives of the course and covers issues of credibility , ethics , aesthetics , accessibility and relationships between elements to consider when identifying points and opportunities for improvements or solutions .
Application : The levels of the rubric are parallel in if a feature is discussed it is discussed
in all levels . If the levels are not parallel , there is a good explanation why . Artwork used truly represents the words / imagery of the text . The visualization reflects the authors words and the student 's interpretation .
I start the visualization by thinking of topic on Reading image and thinking
image in Visual Age . We are living in the age in which visual prevailing intensely and mass communication is based upon image rather than expression . It is a significant skill for our age to comprehend the language of images in this new visual age . Art and visual world are not independent concepts . Visual literacy , a branch of multiple literacies emerged with the development of information and its transfer style , is a visual language utilized to work out issues of this new visual age . In this study , the relation of visual literacy concept to art and art education is investigated based on the literature in the light of technological advancements .
Insight & Approach :

Understanding a problem in plant modeling space for one customer- since it is one of the unique solution and needs to be implemented for complex heterogeneous solution . Most of us were unaware of the impediments and difficult to visualize the customized , nonfunctional parts associated with it , then the real process implementation with tagging the requirements can be achieved .
Solution
Started with storytelling where all the counterpart experts and offshore experts brought in good insights
We started describing on the benefits of standard components with its association on the overall scope and later discussed on the approach for customized components and its advantages . I could actually see the more the customized component is more the increased risk but this overall process ensured that we have covered the blind spots . Another important tools is mid map against each requirements and tagging
Application
We started with process enabling through various tools available in organization one such is proview which is used for clear process definition visually . Each tagging of the requirements against respective inputs ensure that the results of each process block is achieved .
Mind mapping and tagging were tagged against each sub process , which is in tern connected for artifacts like standard operating procedure , new part or customized part reference . Similarly , the nonfunctional part is also tagged with the process workflow . Created several template to capture necessary inputs and tagging line comments . Some complex mechanical and embedded hardware part is developed in visio .
Insight and Approach
We have learned that many issues associated with the customized and nonfunctional part became simpler to handle at high level with this graphical method and approach . Many blockers due to piecewise handling with sub team members were very clear and now could connect too much higher level of the project goals and also the language barriers had minimal influence as the graphic view and process view gave broader perspective . This made very easy to connect to customer requirements and very quickly adapt the overall execution and planning . One of the beautiful approach for collaboration and mining . It helped to figure out what we dint know and what was missing customer requirements gaps . The feedback mechanism is more effective and can connect all the activities without miss .

by Claudia Perez
Challenge and Selection : As a Venezuelan , wanting to help my country overcome all the difficult situations led me
to one of the most beautiful and fulfilling experiences : Community Service . My desire to help others who I knew were not capable of helping themselves made me commit to a cause that made me the woman I am today . For the past three years I have been involved in an non - profit organization that dedicates all their resources to helping these affected communities around certain cities in Venezuela , by giving them food and medical resources , playing with the kids in their schools or parks near the zone , and helping families with their situation by offering jobs to the parents and education for their children .

organization , and with time , we have achieved wonderful goals that at the beginning seemed almost impossible . Mind Mapping was one of the most useful tools that helped us accomplish great things , and without it , I think we would have taken another course of action that would have not been as successful as the one we followed .

Thanks to this design tool , we gain a lot of new data , making possible to get a bigger approach in the project we were proposing . Mind Mapping let us expand our knowledge , as well as our focus on solving some of the necessities in the mentioned Venezuelan communities .
The whole course helped me change my way of thinking and understanding the world ,
gave me incredible tools to be applied in different situations , and made it possible to find more innovative and creative solutions to multiple problems around me . I consider that not only the Mind Mapping tool , but also the storytelling , visualization and learning launch tools were really helpful for this project . I also think that along with the mind mapping , the learning launch tool would have contributed too to the organization and its plans , but it is never too late to try new things , learn and improve from them .

### Input: Design Thinking for Innovation – Final Assignment
by Claudia Perez
Challenge and Selection : As a Venezuelan , wanting to help my country overcome all the difficult situations led me
to one of the most beautiful and fulfilling experiences : Community Service . My desire to help others who I knew were not capable of helping themselves made me commit to a cause that made me the woman I am today . For the past three years I have been involved in an non - profit organization that dedicates all their resources to helping these affected communities around certain cities in Venezuela , by giving them food and medical resources , playing with the kids in their schools or parks near the zone , and helping families with their situation by offering jobs to the parents and education for their children .
This has been an incredible challenge for me and for the rest of the members of the
organization , and with time , we have achieved wonderful goals that at the beginning seemed almost impossible . Mind Mapping was one of the most useful tools that helped us accomplish great things , and without it , I think we would have taken another course of action that would have not been as successful as the one we followed . This design tool made us look for patterns and themes in the data we collected inside the communities we were working with , and made it easier to move from the “ What is ? ” to the “ What if ? ” . As said in the lectures , mind mapping involves studying and analyzing the minds of our customers , not only ours individually , and thanks to this , we were available to translate the collected insights to concrete ideas .

1.Challenge 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 , 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 .
Feedback NA
2.Selection 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 .
Feedback NA
3.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 . 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 ?
Feedback NA
4.Insight What I have learned from
conducting this exercise with several groups is that while the graphic – especially the revised graphic that incorporates their
feedback – 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
Feedback NA
5 . Approach The graphic gives the diverse group of stakeholders a focal point for discussion that allows them to share their perspectives
and develop insights into
potential root causes of their problems . While they could
create the graphic from a blank slate in a collaborative manner , starting with a straw man jump starts the conversation for them . They can quickly identify where
they are in the graphic – or if
they are missing – and can more quickly gain new insights about
relationships between key
entities instead of taking time to
identify them . They can also
identify variables in the problem space – that is , it helps them to identify what they do n’t know , in what areas they need to obtain information or data to provide
the values for the variables .
Since I discovered that the most
valuable aspect is the shared
insights and learning , next time I
would use the visualization
activity as a starting point for a
series of design thinking
activities . Then the revised
graphic that incorporates their combined feedback can serve as a reference tool throughout the
remainder of their work .
Feedback NA

Challenge
Emergency Departments in general are usually very busy sections within hospitals and in South
Africa especially , both in the private sector and the public sector , these departments are plagued by
process flow disruptions and interruptions that can potentially impact clinical care . This has been
potentiated by the CoVID-19 pandemic . One of the main problems that create bottlenecks in patient
flow is data exchange between key health care workers in the patient care pathway . All systems of
care , especially in the private sector have information technology systems but unfortunately , these
systems do not communicate with each other .
My company is a healthcare technology start - up that is developing a mobile health ( mHealth )
technology platform that is patient driven and which brings all of the systems together with the
patient - side application being the hub for all the other systems to communicate . We have
conceptualized a Minimum Viable Product ( MVP ) thus far and are taking this component to the
design and implementation stage but were wondering if this would indeed provide an increased
value for the patient in their pathway of care .
My team and I hypothesized that our platform would indeed create value , not only for the
patient , but for the other healthcare workers in the service delivery process . We held several key
assumptions that supported this hypothesis . The system would be scalable if it was effective and
efficient as an integrative technology tool to link data systems together as it had the following
capabilities : an ability to handle big data using secure and dependable cloud storage services ,
algorithmic systems that utilized a narrow artificial intelligence approach to information processing ,
and a connectivity that relied on the Internet of Things ( IoT ) to link all other systems together
through this central patient - driven platform .
The second assumption was that it was executable , being built on cross - platform mobile models
that had minimal reliance on high - ended technology , with most of the back - end data processing
handled by cloud based servers . The third assumption was that it was dependable , again because it
was base on low - code approaches to platform development , and reliant on proprietary cloud based
storage solutions that offered as close to 95.5 % to 99.9 % up - time , depending on the package of
services purchased by our company . Lastly , it assumed that these fundamental , yet rigorous and
comprehensive features , offered an extensive value offering for the main clients , who were the
patients .
We elected to test this hypothesis of client acceptance using a small experimental approach ,
prioritizing execution and dependability as our key deliverables for the MVP .
Selection
We considered that the Learning Launch toolkit in the Design Thinking arsenal would be our
best approach to trialing our MVP platform with a test group of patients in a real Emergency
Department scenario . As the MVP was already past conceptualization , tools such as visualization
story - telling and mind - mapping would not offer us the best understanding of what our clients felt
about our product . We had already do intensive market research prior to conceptualization and had
obtained a vast amount of pre - development data about what the client ( patient ) felt were the
problems when they presented for emergency care . The central theme in all of this was that there
seemed to be long periods of time when they were left alone , unsure of what was going on .
Secondary analysis of these time periods through independent time - motion studies conducted by
our internal market research team showed that a large amount of time was spent either providing
information or retrieving information , which detracted from patient interaction , even if not for
direct clinical care and this was noticed by the client - patient who flagged this as a negative on their
entire patient experience .
Experimentation then would provide us with direct information on whether our platform would
streamline the data exchange process and if this would directly improve patient flow management
and indirectly improve the client - patient experience .
Application
We pre - loaded the platform onto several mobile devices and linked them all to the local wifi
network at a private emergency department . We then linked them all to our local server which
would emulate the cloud system that we would be using . We provided scribes for the clinician so
that his primary clinical records would not be neglected so that he could also use our platform to
record clinical encounters . We then also linked these devices to the databases of the local hospital .
We were unable to link these devices and the platforms to the radiology and laboratory systems , as
we were unable to get access from the various IT departments concerned .
Patients presenting to the Emergency Department would then have simulated pre - loading their
demographic and background information into the platform and the present for a consultation . The
clinician would record relevant information into the platform , the system then synching with our
local server to update this information .
Insight
We obtained much information about the acceptance of our platform as well as its utility to
improve data handling and information exchange . Our data flow mapping processes had been
confirmed by the experimentation conducted and we were optimistic about its further development
into a fully - fledged proof of concept ( POC ) version . The system initially met with some resistance
from patients who were anxious about personal data handling and confidentiality , but when we
briefed them while they were awaiting triage in the Emergency Department , we had a 100 %
enrollment for the experiment . The clinician on duty in the single - doctor cover Emergency
Department was also keen to try the platform out , as he was fully aware of the delays that a paper-
based or unconnected computer based system caused .
We believe that the experimental approach that we had chosen was the best from a design
thinking methodology perspective but was obviously guided by the stage of the product
development that we were at already . We can not believe that another tool would have been
beneficial for us so far down this product life cycle .
Approach
The experimental approach for us was ideal to understand the implementation , utility and
barriers to acceptance of our MVP prior to full product design and development . The other tools
available for a design thinker such as visualization and mind - mapping may have been extremely
beneficial had we know about these before - hand . We would have found them useful when we
applied them to our design and development process . However , despite this , we believe that we
have analyzed the what is , what if , what wows and what works methodology satisfactorily to
develop a product that we are extremely enthusiastic about .
