Challenge & Selection
Storytelling is a powerful tool that are applicable in various situation of our daily life because it is the tool that I applied all the times . As a founder of the pesto pizza an online agency that propose a large band of choices concerning Hostels , I always faced the challenges of how to attract more website ’s visitors to try and fall in love with our Hostels ’ selection . Besides , I also faced challenges of how to ensure the phenomena of finding new Hostels ’ partner to convince them to be part of our website . I choose to apply storytelling as it is able to get insight into users , build empathy and reach them emotionally . I often create personal activities that would make our website agency more attractable . Special offers always captivate the attention of our website ’s visitors , they are mainly activities that people could enjoy during their vacation .
Application
Storytelling indirectly involves emotional branding . Emotional branding in fact is the practice of building brands that directly appeal to consumers ’ self , emotional state , needs and aspirations . The purpose of emotional branding is to establish a connection between consumers and products by stimulating consumer emotions . Human needs such as love , power , emotional security , and self - satisfaction are based on emotions in the subconscious , as the basis of emotional brands , and allow marketers to create self - fulfilling prophecies in consumer demand . People want to meet demand , and advertisers need to implement these needs in a permanent cycle . In our case , the brand consists on the Hostel we propose in our website , to make it more interactive we reserve a section for reviews that would give the user the impression of safety . The type of storytelling enables new users more willingness to embark their journey on our website as the review is real and high credibility .
Insight
By applying the learning tool , we designed and tested our solutions . Through the learning process we got to improve our website ’s function and design to meet user ’s expectation . It is through this process we realized that the users were more attract to the review from the previous visitors as it is shared by normal
users but not celebrity or influencer . Our marketing department used the results of this process to re - strategize our marketing plan . Moving forward our business will focus on human centered design to improve our website ’s services .
Approach
Through applying the storytelling tools , another tool like visualization and mind - mapping directly applied . In order to perform a more perfect results , learning launch is another tool that I would be considered in the next steps . One of the reasons is learning launch is also an important tool for our business . We need as a team to review the insight gained from our first two launches and incorporate this insight into future launch designs as this is the most effective and ideal way of approaching and implementing solutions . Future launch designs should reflect insight gained , progress made , and come closer to a compelling solution ready for full roll out .

Challenge & Selection
I study at the cooperative state university in Mannheim , Germany . We often have to work in groups and sometimes , caused by the various types of personalities and specializations , the group members have different perspectives and approaches to solve a problem .
Especially under time pressure it ’s necessary to quickly get a good overview about the current situation and to highlight similarly the consensuses to have a solid fundament to work on . The mind mapping tool does n’t require a lot of explanation because it works highly intuitive .
Application
First , every single team member is asked to do a short brainstorm on a very creative and individual way to think about the whole topic . After this , everyone asks himself the key question “ what is “ , to think more concretely about the current circumstances and writes his thoughts down on a “ post it ” notes . While not telling the others about these to not influence them .
Afterwards each member explains the notes they took to the group and put it on a large wall . The ones which are similar to previous ones should not be explained again and just put on the wall without comment . Clusters are to be formed ordered by the content of the notes .
The “ post it ” notes with exceptional thoughts are also very important and should be put next to the boarders of the clusters .
At least we search for a title which describes every cluster , write it on another “ post it ” preferring a different color and put it next to the clusters . But before we continue with the next phase , we have a short discussion about the result to concretize it further , inspire each other and get new insights – sometimes there are new notes to be created .
Finally there is a representative and visual picture of the situation and this segues to the second phase : the question “ what ’s possible ” .
Insight & Approach
From conducting this exercise I have learned that there is so much that has to follow after the mind mapping tool . In the past we often stopped with the mind map and tried to build over solution right on top of it . But now I know best practices to follow up in a productive manner , this should lead to a much higher success rate .
I think mind mapping is a design thinking tool which fits very well for human - centered and creative analytics . It is a bracing and inspiring method , so it can motivate teams to work on a structured , targeted and concentric way , this leads to great solutions .

We conducted a design research initiative to collect community perspectives around
parenting goals , strengths and needs . The insights and recommendations informed how
the community could better serve early childhood development outcomes . The first tool I
used was Mind Mapping and Virtualization which l used to generate , visualize , structure
and classify ideas to look for patterns and insights . We do this by displaying the data and
asking people to cluster them in ways that allow themes and patterns to emerge .
Application
We created posters that capture key themes and trends in the collected data , then invited a
group of thoughtful people to tour the visual data and note any learnings that they believe
should inform new ideas , then we clustered the learnings into themes. Through our
interviews , we met parents that were determined , resilient and striving to provide a stable
foundation for their children ’s development . They expressed a fundamental struggle with
poverty — not parenting . Workshop discussions illustrated how parents set goals for
themselves as well as for their children .
They aspire to model the lives they want their children to lead , and they work to prepare
their children for each step of their development . The community coalitions set goals as
well . They ’re committed to building “ pathways of success from cradle through college and
career . ” Parents are enthusiastic about extending their strengths and developing new ones .
Coordinated services can clear the path of institutionalized barriers that impede the
developmental bond between parent and child . For example , access to high - quality ,
affordable , reliable childcare unlocks multiple paths to achieving parents ’ goals . Parents
need confidence that the children in their lives are safe and secure in order to provide the
best support for a child ’s developmental growth .
Insights and Approach
lncluding parents as participants in the strategy , made it possible for their voices to directly
inform the focus of investments in their communities . This ensures successful outcomes in
early childhood development , as well as a positive impact on the lives and communities
they serve .

We were tasked with addressing a big question to practice design thinking : How might we design the best workplace in the world ? Since it was just a day - long workshop , we had to move through each phase of design thinking quickly . We started by defining “ workplace ” and “ best ” and completing empathy interviews with stakeholders to understand their pain points and how we might address them . Lastly , we developed a prototype and conducted a learning launch to test our assumptions . Selection After examining “ what is ” and “ what if ” , we were ready to develop a prototype that we could test through a learning launch . We determined the questions we needed to confirm and disconfirm through interviews with other attendees of the workshop . The learning launch method allowed us to quickly and effectively test our key assumptions to understand if our idea could move to Launch 2.0 or if we needed to pivot entirely . Application Our team defined “ workplace ” as the physical space a person enters each day for work and “ best ” as a place that inspires ownership and personal connection . As a result , we decided to architect a new office design on paper for our prototype . This design involved a “ Choose Your Own Adventure ” aspect whereby there were areas of the office floorplan for all types of working and learning styles - a brainstorming room , phone booth , private offices , open desks , conference rooms , comfortable couches and swings , and communal space for lunch and happy hour . For the first learning launch , our team wrote out our key assumptions and developed a set of questions that we wanted to ask our audience . We focused on understanding where people would want to spend the majority of their time in the office design so we could confirm or disconfirm if open and comfortable workspace is even desired . We shared a large design of our office with someone who usually works from home . Due to the nature of our short workshop , we only had about seven minutes to ask questions and learn from our interviewee . Ultimately , the assumptions we were trying to test were the correct ones but we could have developed better questions to get at the quality of data we were seeking . While we did n’t have time to complete a second learning launch , for this phase I would have kept the same prototype design but developed a better set of questions to ask a wider audience ( since we only had time to interview one person ) . Insight
Because of the assumption we developed about “ the best workplace ” , our physical prototype design was absolutely necessary to give our audience a visual of our idea . While our initial empathy interviews illustrated that employees sought more ownership and personal connection in their work , we had to test that customers would actually utilize various workspaces in order to accomplish ownership and personal connection . Since we only interviewed one person who works from home , she felt a connection to the closed office spaces rather than the open and communal spaces . This was the opposite of our assumption but was also a very small sample size for us to determine next steps . Approach Ultimately , it was very clear that we needed more and better data in order to properly test our assumptions . In the future , our team needs to agree on the number of people we will interview and have more time to conduct the interviews in order to successfully test the assumption and determine next steps for Launch 2.0 and our idea in general .

Challenge
I was a member of the secretary of social development and human rights of a municipality in the state of Pernambuco , located in northeastern Brazil . During this period I identified the fragile communication relationship between the secretary of social development and human rights and the reception centers for the population in situations of vulnerability and social risk . The lack of communication impaired the service and the quality of services offered to the population .
Given the intense and massive use of technology as a mechanism for strengthening communication between public management bodies . Despite the small amount , the team reduced to the maximum ( staff of 2 IT specialists , a social worker and a designer ) and the time limit for the project execution to be minimal , we decided to create a digital platform that would facilitate communication and contact between these public entities .
Sellection
Among the broad spectrum of tools engendered by design thinking , in this project we use the learning launch since the scope of the project provides for rapid testing to test the platform 's effectiveness . The learning launch covers the quick testing of the proposed new idea , in which a specific group will have contact with the product ( in our case with the platform ) for a certain time and evaluate it , generating new problems , solutions and market assumptions . about the product .
Application
In the first moment we used the learning launch our goal was to spread the platform among the secretariat and center employees , we held an inaugural meeting with the social development secretariat team and the reception centers for the formal presentation of the project , later we held 02 days of training with the teams to facilitate understanding of the platform 's language and mechanisms , then the deadlines for the first tests were set . After one month of using the platform , there were three sessions of integration workshops , in which the group presented and discussed about the positive and negative aspects of the platform . From the feedback of the group we decided to build an intervention protocol to group the issues and enhance the positive aspects of the platform .
Given the problems that arose , it was necessary to have a second moment in which we used the learning launch , our objective was to adjust the platform structure to the needs that came from the group that were grouped in the protocol . an integration workshop , where we discussed how to simplify and enhance the use of the platform by secretariat teams and tailoring it to group needs . We completed the project by publishing a platform user manual along with the official launch of the modified platform , both of which were successfully accepted by the staff of the social development and human rights secretariat and the staff of the reception centers . The design thinking tool used extremely effective in face of the demands that emerged throughout the project .
Insight :
As we started the project by applying the learning launch tool , our team identified our objectives and planned the project activities through a schedule . The results obtained through the workshops and tests negatively surprised the team , as several problems arose ( with the layout , the inclusion of tabs , windows and extra information on the platform ) that caused a schedule change so we decided to carry out another batch of tests . and hold workshops and group meetings for the purpose of solving doubts and solving problems .
Thus there was a potential increase in the workflow of the team , however we received the support of the staff involved in the project which was extremely important for its continuation , the results obtained at the end of the project positively surprised the team . In the future , our team will have a more flexible schedule containing actions and lectures aimed at solving the problems that initially hindered the team . Finally , we highlight the importance of this design thinking tool for project completion .
Approach :
We highlight the importance of our team 's knowledge of design thinking tools , which helped us discover new ways and perspectives to overcome the difficulties and problems that came our way . Our team aimed to create a digital platform that would facilitate the communication between the Social Development and Human Rights Secretariat with the socially vulnerable reception centers . We would initially carry out the project in just one step according to our schedule . Given the demands , a major change in the schedule and the holding of workshops and tests were necessary . In the future we will use the same tool in our projects , however we will include in the schedule planning a better organization to prevent and remedy errors and failures that arise during the process .

In the first moment we used the learning launch our goal was to spread the platform among the secretariat and center employees , we held an inaugural meeting with the social development secretariat team and the reception centers for the formal presentation of the project , later we held 02 days of training with the teams to facilitate understanding of the platform 's language and mechanisms , then the deadlines for the first tests were set . After one month of using the platform , there were three sessions of integration workshops , in which the group presented and discussed about the positive and negative aspects of the platform . From the feedback of the group we decided to build an intervention protocol to group the issues and enhance the positive aspects of the platform .
Given the problems that arose , it was necessary to have a second moment in which we used the learning launch , our objective was to adjust the platform structure to the needs that came from the group that were grouped in the protocol . an integration workshop , where we discussed how to simplify and enhance the use of the platform by secretariat teams and tailoring it to group needs . We completed the project by publishing a platform user manual along with the official launch of the modified platform , both of which were successfully accepted by the staff of the social development and human rights secretariat and the staff of the reception centers . The design thinking tool used extremely effective in face of the demands that emerged throughout the project .
Insight :
As we started the project by applying the learning launch tool , our team identified our objectives and planned the project activities through a schedule . The results obtained through the workshops and tests negatively surprised the team , as several problems arose ( with the layout , the inclusion of tabs , windows and extra information on the platform ) that caused a schedule change so we decided to carry out another batch of tests . and hold workshops and group meetings for the purpose of solving doubts and solving problems .
Thus there was a potential increase in the workflow of the team , however we received the support of the staff involved in the project which was extremely important for its continuation , the results obtained at the end of the project positively surprised the team . In the future , our team will have a more flexible schedule containing actions and lectures aimed at solving the problems that initially hindered the team . Finally , we highlight the importance of this design thinking tool for project completion .
Approach :
We highlight the importance of our team 's knowledge of design thinking tools , which helped us discover new ways and perspectives to overcome the difficulties and problems that came our way . Our team aimed to create a digital platform that would facilitate the communication between the Social Development and Human Rights Secretariat with the socially vulnerable reception centers . We would initially carry out the project in just one step according to our schedule . Given the demands , a major change in the schedule and the holding of workshops and tests were necessary . In the future we will use the same tool in our projects , however we will include in the schedule planning a better organization to prevent and remedy errors and failures that arise during the process .

The first tool I used was the tool of visualization , or visual Thinking , in project of inspirational garden in UAE to shape better understanding of different gardens design . I used this idea to educate people about the beauty of these masterpiece . The inspirational garden in UAE book targets Middle East and western countries . In addition to the techniques that been used are Photoshop , Power point , Blurb program and Camera for taking photos . Also we discussed the project idea between all members of the group .
Selection
First , we started to make brain storming for the ideas to choose the best . Also we choose the materials and programs that will be used in the project . Moreover we discussed the schedule and the progress of working . Second , the searching and visiting different grands to take the photo was the most entertaining part . While designing and arranging the information was the most difficult part in the project . In the end we make a survey and give it to group of student to evaluate the final look of the book .
Application
The book was created like a coffee table book .Which designed to display on a table intended for use in an area in which one entertains guests and which it can serve to inspire conversation or pass the time . We used blurb website to create the book format , design and the arrangement of photos and the information . We used professional camera to take good quality of pictures .
Insight
The part of designing and arrangement of the book was the most challenging part . Because we have to discuss each section and draw the design before Appling it . The same goes with visiting the gardens and taking the photos . The main thing that been focused on how to deliver and show the idea to the people .
Approach
I learned many thing from this project . The most important thing working on team and how to discuss and share the ideas with others.in addition how to solve technical things that happen with designing program . Also using pictures and visuals is the best and easy way to deliver the idea for public .

Challenge & Selection
Selection described in general The tool I used was storytelling for the small & medium enterprise AMC to make a new business model in tourism in Switzerland understandable and actionable for all stakeholders , also globally . Storytelling is a great tool to convey meaningful messages that inspire stakeholders to engage .
Challenge description The challenge was , that the business model is novel , unique , complex and therefore hard to understand for customers , inhabitants , partners , employees , contributors , shareholders and suppliers . It contains a property portfolio with rentals to business and residential customers , design holiday apartments , hotels that also offer services such as laundry , take away and delivery , housekeeping for business and residential customers , attractive purchase services for other hotels and restaurants , a marketing and sales office , different online sales channels , several restaurants and some experiments to try out new offers .
As fundamental part of every successful brand , I used the storytelling tool for being able to put the human beings and their experiences with AMC in front and center , to tell them a compelling , understandable and comprehensible story that ensures emotional connection to all stakeholders to get their engagement .
Personal selection reason I have selected the storytelling tool because there was a misunderstanding from inhabitants , employees and other stakeholders of AMC and I was sure that telling a consistent story would help people to better understand it .
Additional resources I also refer to the following additional video sources : Ty Montague , How to combine story and action to transform your business , Youtube , 08/07/2013 Simon Sinek , How great leaders inspire action , Ted Talk , ( Start with why ) September 2009 Nancy Duarte , The secret structure of great talks , Ted Talk , November 2011
Application
Put the human beings and their experience in front and center We started with gathering a deep understanding of our wide audience by collecting all statements and feedbacks we heard during the last years from customers , partners , employees and inhabitants and read comments on booking platforms , in local newspapers , correspondence such as emails and complaints etc . We worked intensively on the characters and values of all stakeholders who use AMC offers , services and infrastructures daily . Therefore , we used empathy maps for every stakeholder group to connect deeply with what they hear , see , say , think and feel and what their gains and pains are .
Subsequently , we looked at trends such as the sharing economy , challenges in Swiss tourism regarding falling prices and weak utilisation of the whole infrastructure . We then looked at these
topics in the AMC customers perspective by using customer profiles and a value proposition design mindset ( Value Proposition Design , Osterwalder Alex , 2014 ) .
Defining the Why , how and what We first defined the Why , the purpose of the AMC platform , which includes the challenges AMC faces and the reason why the current stage is much too dangerous in todays Switzerland tourism state . When we had found the reason why , we started to define the How , which principles the company had to follow by all actions it takes and last but not least the What , defining all the experiences ( front stage / customers ) and activities ( back stage / company ) that have to be delivered on a long term .
I like to work with that structure as a framework for addressing what will be needed that customers and all other stakeholders can connect to a sequential , understandable and meaningful storyline .
Brainstorming and adding ideas , testing the storyline with customers We brainstormed and added new ideas and iterated the whole story several times . Consequently , we tested the storyline with several stakeholders . The story is about 1.5 pages long , starts with why , continues with how and what . The story contains the challenge and why the current state is too dangerous than any change . The tensions from todays state to the future state are addressed . It is written in topic clusters from the customers perspective . The CEO and also the staff can tell the relevant parts to their stakeholders and explain it more detailed along concrete actions .
Insight & Approach
Focusing on deeper customer insights Usually , business customers like AMC want to quickly see results . This is why I started the story with all customer insights we had already gained at that point . What I would do next time , is to better convince the customer that with more and deeper customer insights , the story will become even more compelling .
Learnings We discovered new and unknown things during the process of developing the story . We also learned , that the focus of the story in the AMC customers eyes was a bit different than in Ferienlenks perspective regarding the structure , priorities and also the wording . The AMC CEO pitched the story on every occasion like employee events , local community meetings , shareholder meetings , partner events and also tells it with contributors and suppliers . From now on , he was easily able to link the stakeholders to a consistent story .
Relevant outcomes The story was understood by all stakeholders very well . Not only the story was appreciated , but also supported and conveyed to the public by the stakeholders itself . It did put the owner in a comfortable situation to argue in a very clear way and put through his interests . One example was , that he did not sell a property located on a AMC strategic site to a local milk seller that absolutely wanted to buy it . Instead , he convinced this partner by delivering the messages using the story to rent the building and moreover , to become a shareholder of AMC .

I work in an environment that revolves around digital solutions . These digital solutions are created to give customers a seamless user experience , but creating or modifying these requires a good working knowledge of abstract processes . For example , the underlying design of a good payment flow in which enables the customer to seamlessly be identified by his / her bank , debit funds securely from his bank account , and provide alternate flows in case the payment fails which also require a logical method for securing inputs and properly managing the customer ’s expectations . Understanding the underlying design would be a challenge if it were described verbally . This is where the visualization method would prove to be useful .
Selection
In my own understanding of the visualization tool in this module , its method to translate messages into diagrams and images . By relying on visual representations , we would be able to understand abstract concepts and the significant connections between them . I use this method in my daily work to aid myself in understanding the underlying design of the digital services I encounter , as well as communicating my understanding of such to my peers in collaborative sessions .
Application
This method was most useful when I was tasked to solve a production problem encountered in one of our online payment portals . In line with the overall objective of the organization where I am in , we have several enhancements with our technological platforms . One of which , is a facility that would automate reversal for a specific transaction . This said enhancement is intended to be used in case there are identified errors or failures during client actual payments .
My challenge in this initiative was the technology partner demanded that we should describe the specific conditions where this automated reversal facility will be used . At the time , I had a less than adequate knowledge of the payment portal ’s underlying design , and was not able to provide the required conditions immediately . This prevented the partner from employing their solution .
To remedy this , I seeked out to our developers to provide inputs to a process map I created for my understanding . With enough inputs , I was able to create a detailed process map that show the detailed flow of events — for the happy flows and the error scenarios .
Learning this tool , I was able to collaborate with the technology partner to identify the specific conditions where the automated reversal endpoint will be needed , aiming for a good customer experience . I was even able to share snippets of my process flow to said partner to properly express the specific condition I was referring to . We ’re now expecting this new design to be deployed by the partner in production soon .
Insight
I initially used the visualization tool as a self - learning tool , to better understand the design of specific processes . In time , and after improving my technique for creating visual process flows , I was able to use this tool to effectively express myself to others with minimal verbal effort . I find this most useful in meetings where I can simply show a slide of a process flow with minimal text , and focus my discussion points within that slide .
Approach
Although process flows may look standardized , I realized that certain types of process flows work best in certain situations . However , a simple process flows work best for short presentations or for audiences where a detailed description is unnecessary . It is now up to me to determine to gauge situations and apply the best way to visualize my ideas .

I am responsible for the end - to - end processing of electronic payments to and from borrower for my organization . If there is a failure during any one step in this process , there is a downstream affect to multiple internal and external parties . Using Visualization helps all stakeholders understand each step in the process , and the potential impact of any failure . The two goals within the payments process are 1 ) Speed to Revenue and 2 ) Improve Borrower Experience Application The process starts with the high - level “ As Is ” process flow , and then drill down into the detailed , step - by- step process . The process flow will provide a detailed picture of the end - to - end process from loan approval to loan funded and loan payment due to funds collected . There are swim lanes for each responsible party , starting and ending with the Borrower . In between , there will be IT , Treasury , Accounting , Operations and the Bank . Each step in the process is a potential point of failure and must be called out . Redundancies in the process must be noted . Check points and monitoring of systems , schedules and tasks will also be called out . Using MS Visio , shapes will determine the type of activity , task or process . Is the process automated ? Is it manual ? Is there a decision to be made by a human or as part of the process ? The process flow will also detail how long each process takes and if necessary , where files are transmitted and archived . After the process flow is complete , additional data is provided that will 1 . Document each point of failure in the existing process 2 . Detail the number of failures 3 . Provide the financial impact to the company due to the failure 4 . Provide the affect to the borrower experience – i.e. Late funding Once this is complete , all stakeholders will walk through their swim lane for the rest of the group to answer the following questions : 1 . Is this step necessary and if so , why ? 2 . Can we eliminate this step and if not , why ? 3 . If this step can not be eliminated , can we complete it faster ? 4 . Are there any other changes we can make to meet these goals : a. Speed to Revenue b. Improve Borrower Experience After all swim lanes are reviewed , a “ proposed ” process flow is completed and reviewed once more for stakeholder approval .
Insight & Approach When a process is complex and touches multiple departments / functions , it ’s hard to gather consensus . No one wants to own it . No one wants to make the decision . It ’s too complicated . You not only need to see the big picture , but you also need to find a way to visualize the inner workings . This is the reason why I prefer the high - level along with the detailed process flows . For a complicated process , you will lose your audience if you start in the weeds . This is especially important when working with Senior Management , who rely on others to understand and advise on the inner workings . Visualizing each functional department within a process allows for group ownership of the process , issues and future simplification of a complicated process .

Provide the affect to the borrower experience – i.e. Late funding Once this is complete , all stakeholders will walk through their swim lane for the rest of the group to answer the following questions : 1 . Is this step necessary and if so , why ? 2 . Can we eliminate this step and if not , why ? 3 . If this step can not be eliminated , can we complete it faster ? 4 . Are there any other changes we can make to meet these goals : a. Speed to Revenue b. Improve Borrower Experience After all swim lanes are reviewed , a “ proposed ” process flow is completed and reviewed once more for stakeholder approval .
Insight & Approach When a process is complex and touches multiple departments / functions , it ’s hard to gather consensus . No one wants to own it . No one wants to make the decision . It ’s too complicated . You not only need to see the big picture , but you also need to find a way to visualize the inner workings . This is the reason why I prefer the high - level along with the detailed process flows . For a complicated process , you will lose your audience if you start in the weeds . This is especially important when working with Senior Management , who rely on others to understand and advise on the inner workings . Visualizing each functional department within a process allows for group ownership of the process , issues and future simplification of a complicated process .

Like many businesses today , my organization can no longer rely on the historical ideation
cycle . We were founded at the horizon of innovative analytical solutions that for years carried us to substantial profits and helped push the boundaries of what was possible . However , new solutions , new technologies , and new ways of working have helped competition catch up and , in some cases , pass us by . The model we have been using in which , we look for major products and markets to solve our growth concerns is no longer sustainable . We began as a scientific company , and in order to make our way back to the front of the pack , we must get back to our experimental roots . The tool that I have chosen is the Learning Launch tool .
Selection
The Learning Launch tool is a methodology that organizations can use to apply a scientific
approach to the ideation and development of new products , solutions , and value chains . Often times though , when you put a group of the smartest people in a room together , they can get in their own way . In the recent past our growth engines were piloted based on assumptions – assumptions on what customers may want , what the market will be five years from now , and even the assumption that the assumptions we are making were correct . In the Learning Launch tool , you are rigorously and scientifically testing the assumptions , theories , and hypotheses you are making to validate , and just as importantly , invalidate your decisions . This is iterative , fast , and inexpensive compared to the full development and deployment process . As Volker Eichhorn describes , it allows you peel back the layers like an onion until you get to the heart of the problem or need that we are wanting to address .
Application
The way this tool was applied was through the redevelopment of the New Revenue Board
and addition of divisional gatekeeping for hypothesis testing and validation before any revenue projections or market predictions get pitched . We want to add structure and rigor around taking an idea and letting individuals run with it . When originally implementing the learning launch , we had to have conversations around encouragement of innovative thinking , and standardization around methodologies . As a multibillion - dollar company with several operating organizations , when we are making decisions around resource allocation , we need to have a standardized approach around judgement of proposals .
We addressed this issue in two ways . First , we created a standard process companywide
that any individual can follow that will take them through the hypothesis generation , testing , and adjustment cycle . Once an idea has been iterated through and we have learned and learned and learned and the idea has been polished enough that there is something substantial there it can be taken to the New Revenue Board for review . The second change we have made is to standardize a ‘ rubric ’ that board members use to evaluate proposals . By score carding in key areas we can easily compare proposals that come from banking and finance to IoT , to cloud , to supply chain . As part of the scorecard as well , we want to avoid looking for necessarily
big wins , and instead focus on potential . If something comes across our desk that is a big win great , if something else has the potential , we build out an exploratory party to operate independently to pursue the idea further and keep them from getting bogged down by politics , company culture , resource drain , etc .
Insight
By applying this tool , it was easy to see how often the assumptions we were making were
incorrect . As a data driven company at the forefront of analytics , too often we were relying on gut feeling and intuition to make decisions . This has helped drive the rigorous approach to innovation that we were founded on . When doing more research into this area , I have also realized how companies can fall into what Clayton Christensen coined , The Innovator ’s Dilemma . We have seen great ideas come out of many of our divisions that do n’t fit their customer base . So , they simply get shelved . However , we need to be thinking more broadly and avoid falling into the trap of innovation . Not every product is going to help us hit our growth target in the next six months . Some need time and that is okay . By demonstrating opportunities and iteratively testing the markets we can better identify early on whether or not a new product / feature / functionality makes sense for the ‘ projected ’ market and if not , start looking to identify where it might fit instead of just shelving the innovation until someone else comes along and beats us to the punch . We ca n’t ignore long - term progress because it does n’t fit our 12 month revenue growth requirements that are arbitrarily set to make stakeholders happy .
Approach
For this specific situation , Learning Launch makes sense . I think going forward what I
would like to see however , is a focus on cross organizational ideation and opportunities to apply some of the other tools to the process . As discussed , when your organization is siloed it allows each division to operate in a way that makes sense for their sector . You would n’t sell retail solutions the same way you would regulatory compliance . However , one issue is knowledge management and diversity in your thinking . Regulatory Compliance folks think like regulatory compliance people , not retailer solutions folks . What may be a good policy to adopt is to develop rotational innovation programs and hackathons in which developers and marketers and operations people get paired up with individuals from other divisions to work through interesting solutions and conduct research on addressing meaningful problems . In this process , using storytelling , mind mapping and visualization would really add an extra layer to the work being conducted .

Design Thinking Technique adopted : SCAMPER
POVs obtained from the user :
• The user wants the water level monitoring system to be accessed in either LAN or WAN .
• The user wish to incorporate non - contact sensors in the operation .
• The user wants the system to be any of the one be it electrical , pneumatic , hydraulics etc .
• The user needs to monitor the water level in real - time .
Limitations in designing the prototype :
• Unavailability of sensors , breadboards , Wi - Fi module and Arduino UNO .
• The project should be executed without involving the above listed components also it should not compromise the basic functionalities .
In order to obtain the solution for the problem , the SCAMPER technique is used for the ideation purpose .
SCAMPER :
Creative thinking and problem - solving are essential parts of the design process to turn ideas into innovation and break the barriers against creativity . One of the successful methods used in creative thinking is the SCAMPER technique . The SCAMPER technique is based very simply on the idea that what is new is actually a modification of existing old things around us .
Substitute :
The substitute technique focuses on the parts in the product , service or solution that can be replaced with another .
Ideations :
1 . Instead of using separate dedicated sensors , it can be replaced with other sensors already fitted in different
devices such as Infrared in remotes , Sensors in Smartphones , sensors in other such electrical devices .
2 . For the purpose of sensor data acquisition we can think of other methods such as usage of apps in mobile . 3 . Replacing electrical wires and circuits , we can use wireless components .
Combine :
The combine technique tends to analyse the possibility of merging two ideas , stages of the process or product in one single more efficient output .
Ideations :
1 . We can combine the functionalities of both data acquisition and data transmission by using a single device . 2 . Instead of having a separate cloud service we can make use of commercial packages which has inbuilt cloud
service to store its data and coding scripts .
Adapt :
Adapt refers to a brainstorming discussion that aims to adjust or tweak product or service for a better output . This adjustment can range between minor changes to radical changes in the whole project .
Coursera ( Design Thinking and Innovation )
Ideations :
1 . We can make use of coding in commercial software so that we can make the process flexible . 2 . Adapting techniques such as UDP ( User Datagram Protocol ) may improve the process .
Modify / Magnify :
The modify technique refers to changing the process in a way that unleashes more innovative capabilities or solves problems . This change is more than just adjustment as it focuses on the overall process .
Ideations :
1 . By using smartphones and apps we can modify the conventional method sensor data acquisition i.e. ) by
using sensors and Arduino .
2 . Accordingly the float have to be redesigned in order to aid the process .
Eliminate :
As the name implies , this technique aims to identify the parts of the process that can be eliminated to improve the process product or service . It also helps to explore the unnecessary parts of the project .
Ideations :
1 . If we follow the above mentioned ideas we can eliminate the use of dedicated sensors , Arduino , circuit
boards and Wi - Fi modules .
2 . By using comprehensive commercial packages we can discard the use of intermediate cloud services . 3 . Usage of wireless components eliminates wired connections .
Prototype design :
By making use of the ideations through SCAMPER technique the prototype is designed based on that . From the available sensors in a Smartphone we could make use of the magnetometer which reads the intensity magnetic field around the mobile . Using a magnet we could read the magnetic field intensity from the magnetometer . The float was designed in such a way that the top of the surface is attached with a magnet . When it floats it is captured by the smartphone ’s magnetometer . Hence the magnetic field intensity was directly proportional to the water level in the tank . Data communication between the smartphone and the pc is done through UDP ( User Datagram Protocol ) . UDP app sends the magnetometer data from mobile to the PC through a LAN network ( Wi - Fi ) . For visualizing the upcoming data Matlab platform is used . Coding is developed to receive the transmitted UDP packets of data and is visualized through Graphs .

Challenge and selection :
The tool I usually keep in my arsenal is of mapping and Visualization which helps me to create a proper structure and understanding of the situation I am facing . The questions like What , How and Why I usually ask myself to study any of the situations , be it in my organization or out of it . It is very useful to imagine , write and create a graph of the current situation with all the scenarios to have a proper understanding of the situation . So the future planning on variety of options and solutions can be thought of with the help of this visualization technique .
Application :
Staring from the core problem I usually start by creating maps on What is the core problem , how this problem occurred and what can be possible design solutions I can implement to get the task done with minimum finance and time involvement with rapid outcomes . Depending upon the appropriate techniques and tools required to think and enact for the problem solutions I try to amalgate various thoughts and techniques to derive a proper outcome .
Once the problems re graphed and possible scenarios are thought of I move to the next phase of the solution to implement and test it . Where various combinations of solutions are implemented and the outcomes are registered .
Insight and Approach :
This reports can generate a meaningful insights and can enhance the solutions with every iteration and step taken in the advancement . This will also help us to reject multiple hypothesis generated and will help us to understand the one with the greatest impact . 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 by doing so we can generate valuable insights and give a different approaches to move to a better reflection of the problem we might be facing .

Challenge & Selection
My job responsibilities include monitoring the reporting of data from external companies to my organization . Often companies will lose track of their reports or simply stop reporting and our response rate will suffer . I used mind mapping to try and brainstorm and implement some solutions to this issue , and get the companies back to reporting . Our records for these companies have a large amount of extra information that goes beyond the actual quantitative reported data . Our normal collection of data and the administrative date we are able to collect along with reported numbers allow us better organize our thinking and problem solving . Our ultimate goal is to figure out ways to best get back into contact with non - reporting companies .
Application
The first step in this process with my team was for each of us to look into the administrative data of comparable companies that are reporting , to see if any patterns stick out . Helpful information could be the method companies send us data , physical mail , faxed , our online reporting system . Once we have each looked over our data and identified ideas we meet up to compare ideas and discuss what we think would be most effective to solve our issue .
Beyond that initial step the next phase for us would be to being applying these examples to the companies that do not report , if we see a lot of companies that report are receiving their mail from us at a P.O. box and those who do not report are being mailed to their physical location we may look into those addresses to see if a P.O. box is available for them . We would also look over any feedback we receive from phone conversations and try to relieve those actual verbally presented issues .
Insight
From our internal use of mind mapping we were able to identify that companies who have a leader in their accounting or finance department on the mailed attention line report at a higher rate than companies who have no attention line or who have a non - finance person on that line . We also found that companies in certain industries were more susceptible to going out of business so those industries needed to be monitored more closely to ensure we did not continue to expect reports from defunct businesses . With those ideas in mind we began to review the companies we felt would benefit the most from a more in depth look and changes to how we pursued them for their reporting duties .
From our external use where we got actual verbal feedback from companies who were not reporting , we were able to identify that the biggest issue was the difficulty of completing out report . With this in mind , we planned to more aggressively offer to do the reports for companies if they send us their higher level raw data . We also found that many companies simply did not want to do the report and we were able to identify those as lost causes and no longer focused attention on to trying to get them to report
and were able to utilize our time on pursuing companies that may possibly be willing to report if we can get into contact with them or help them out more .
Approach
For our purposes , considering we have a vast array of administrative data and a large population to analyze against , mind mapping was the most effective tool . We also have the ability to attempt new ideas and analyze its effectiveness over time to see its effectiveness , so are not required to go all in on an idea and run with it immediately . This tool was the most effective because we had a very broad group of ideas but needed to best put them onto paper and share them between our team so we could eventually all apply the best of best ideas and not keep those findings in a personal solo . Next time I think we can largely follow the same plan but may look at external feedback and issues before we look into our administrative and internal data .

Our records for these companies have a large amount of extra information that goes beyond the actual quantitative reported data . Our normal collection of data and the administrative date we are able to collect along with reported numbers allow us better organize our thinking and problem solving . Our ultimate goal is to figure out ways to best get back into contact with non - reporting companies .
Application
The first step in this process with my team was for each of us to look into the administrative data of comparable companies that are reporting , to see if any patterns stick out . Helpful information could be the method companies send us data , physical mail , faxed , our online reporting system . Once we have each looked over our data and identified ideas we meet up to compare ideas and discuss what we think would be most effective to solve our issue .
Beyond that initial step the next phase for us would be to being applying these examples to the companies that do not report , if we see a lot of companies that report are receiving their mail from us at a P.O. box and those who do not report are being mailed to their physical location we may look into those addresses to see if a P.O. box is available for them . We would also look over any feedback we receive from phone conversations and try to relieve those actual verbally presented issues .
Insight
From our internal use of mind mapping we were able to identify that companies who have a leader in their accounting or finance department on the mailed attention line report at a higher rate than companies who have no attention line or who have a non - finance person on that line . We also found that companies in certain industries were more susceptible to going out of business so those industries needed to be monitored more closely to ensure we did not continue to expect reports from defunct businesses . With those ideas in mind we began to review the companies we felt would benefit the most from a more in depth look and changes to how we pursued them for their reporting duties .
From our external use where we got actual verbal feedback from companies who were not reporting , we were able to identify that the biggest issue was the difficulty of completing out report . With this in mind , we planned to more aggressively offer to do the reports for companies if they send us their higher level raw data . We also found that many companies simply did not want to do the report and we were able to identify those as lost causes and no longer focused attention on to trying to get them to report
and were able to utilize our time on pursuing companies that may possibly be willing to report if we can get into contact with them or help them out more .
Approach
For our purposes , considering we have a vast array of administrative data and a large population to analyze against , mind mapping was the most effective tool . We also have the ability to attempt new ideas and analyze its effectiveness over time to see its effectiveness , so are not required to go all in on an idea and run with it immediately . This tool was the most effective because we had a very broad group of ideas but needed to best put them onto paper and share them between our team so we could eventually all apply the best of best ideas and not keep those findings in a personal solo . Next time I think we can largely follow the same plan but may look at external feedback and issues before we look into our administrative and internal data .

Challenge
Running an independent bakery , as with any small shop , presents a set of challenges in a world led by chain stores . We are competing with giants who promise lower costs , longer menus and more locations . Back when our project started , most days we felt like the shop – we – were simply surviving , working long hours , generating little profit , and barely keeping heads above water .
The French Baker had been a family business since 1970 . My parents had opened the first brick and mortar back in France , in the small town of Albi , and moved to Alexandria , VA in 1982 . The store quite literally moved overseas with us . When my parents died in 2002 , I took over the shop and , in homage to their legacy , kept everything as it was . By 2012 , we had a small set of specialties we ’d stuck to for 44 years – 20 staples that drew a crowd of regulars – but that model was no longer sustainable . By 2010 , a 10 % profit loss was having us headed towards closure .
Selection
We needed to refresh , a new brand , an edge . As I shaped my vision for The French Baker , I opted to tell a story . Storytelling provided an opportunity to showcase the French Baker ’s identity through the decades and reveal its essence . I wanted the team , the store , to emotionally connect with customers by telling our family ’s story in a way that clients could understand and relate to . We had lost customers – or simply bored them to competition – because we had become just another place that makes bread . But , really , who does n’t love sweets ? Or bread ? More importantly , who is n’t emotionally connected , moved even , by the taste of a cookie or a cake ? Drawing on our customers ’ connection to food , and food ’s unparalleled ability to bring people together and memories back , I knew storytelling would be my best bet .
Application & Insights
Like with any impactful change , I stepped out of my comfort zone . The first key stage of shaping our story was to speak with a few regular customers and to our team – the ethnographic approach to gathering data . The team was overworked , but mostly they just felt disconnected to their work . Some did not even know the entire history of the shop . Our customers still loved our specialties , which they found to taste good , but a short survey revealed that 64 % wished traditional American staples were part of the menu as well , and 47 % stated they wanted to see more French patisseries . Revamping the menu was a priority to cater to our customers base . The space too had never been renovated due to lack of funds . I had been so scared to incur short term losses to invest in the space , so attached to the past and so anxious in the present that I had never strayed from the original menu .
Ultimately , my family ’s history was not only the history of a bakery , it was an immigrant ’s story , and a story of biculturalism . I updated the menus to include both traditional American baked goods , and traditional French patisserie and breads . Our specialties stayed in our now bigger display window , and were renamed after my family members , with a short paragraph under the name explaining why 40 years ago my family chose it to be on its menu . The shop was also renovated , to look modern yet inviting , in shades of ivory and yellow that would highlight the art on the walls : framed black and white pictures of me and my parents in the shop over the years – kneading , baking , interacting with customers . The frames were placed in chronological order , with short captions underneath them
recounting each step of our journey across continents and sharing the pastries and desserts that were so intensely tied to each memory . A dining space was created for clients to eat in at a long rectangular table for all to share while they enjoyed a dessert .
By telling a more complete story of my family and the shop ’s history , the team working in the kitchens found purpose in their work , upkeeping and furthering the legacy of my parents . The wider menu also increased engagement : the team learned new techniques and recipes and felt empowered by their larger skill sets . The narrative not only led customers to connect to the store and its products , as well as try our new dishes , it soon became clear that by telling them our story through food and atmosphere , they relived their own story — a bite of pie jolting long lost childhood memories . This led us to two additional changes : a memory book at the entrance of the shop to ask customers to share a story about a dessert or baked good and the memory it revives and lastly , the change to a new name for the shop : Piramal Enterprises , the author who described being taken back to his childhood in the French countryside each time , as an adult , he bit into a Ex Fabula , Inc ..
Approach
With this customer - centric approach , and sharing stories to engage my team , we together accomplished a great deal and were able to grow again . If I had wanted to do it another way , I could have also used learning launches , making small changes little by little , experiencing with different menu options and creating hypotheses about what products they would want to see on the menu .

Thanks in advance for reviewing my submission .
Reflection – Learning Launch
Challenge :
I ’m leading my state ’s payments bank department and I ’m responsible for the launch of the first payments bank in my state .
Background : Payments banks is a new model of banks conceptualized by the Vlisco . These banks can accept a restricted deposit , which is currently limited to ₹ 1 lakh per customer and may be increased further . These banks can not issue loans and credit cards . Both current account and savings accounts can be operated by such banks . Payments banks can issue services like ATM cards , debit cards , net - banking and mobile - banking .
Hence , the challenge was to initiate a small pilot to see how we can launch the payments bank services across the state . This pilot was designed to test the key underlying value- generating assumptions of a potential new - growth initiative in the banking industry .
Selection :
I ’m depicting the use of tool “ Learning Launch ” to showcase the utility of this tool in real life scenario .
My team has ideated on various activities and group discussions and we came to the conclusion to adopt the learning launch tool .
Hence , the tool learning launch was a pilot meant to quickly test an idea and on ground execution .
Application :
We decided on the initial launch through as small cashless village project with launch of payments bank in the village to push Cashless villages .
A cashless village describes an economic state whereby financial transactions are not conducted with money in the form of physical banknotes or coins , but rather through the transfer of digital information ( usually an electronic representation of money ) between the
transacting parties . Hence , leading to the focus on the term " cashless village " in the sense of a move towards , and implications of , a village where cash is replaced by its digital equivalent .
We chose the village – “ Kabato bando ” where we initially launched to launch payments bank with the visibility and marketing campaign around it .
The pilot scope included the launch of small banking program across a small region and then noting the benefits of our project in terms of following Key performance matrix .
Credit Activities : Cash Deposit Credit Activities : P2B Inward Debit Activities : P2B outward Debit Activities : Recharge Debit Activities : Cash Withdraw Debit Activities : Merchant Payment Debit Activities : Online
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool , our team identified our assumptions and designed launches to test the key parameters in launch of payments bank in the villages .
We analyzed the Key performance parameter and announced the pilot launch of two digital services based on insights from group discussion that offer actual insights about our client ’s financials and a fully - automated savings solution that uses predictive technology to identify money in a client ’s cash flow that can be automatically saved .
Also it provided personalized , timely and relevant insights to help clients manage their day - to- day finances on the go through the app . Both of these new capabilities use a client ’s account activity to identify trends , unusual activity and potential savings opportunities .
Approach :
Our team went through this successful pilot and led to many insights and hence , lots of implementation of ideas . As the team has implemented a lots of ideas in this pilot although we could have added more parameter to this launch and get the detailed feedback before launch this across state .

Challenge
I am a member of Namokar Venture App ’s marketing department and responsible for product performance and growth including acquisition and retention . Namokar Venture is a free messaging and Wema Bank Plc calling platform open to 192 countries worldwide . It has around 10 M active users , and it increases its global expansion through partnership with Telco companies . We launched several unique features such as disappearing message , group video call up to 10 people , push to talk , second number and Money transfer that our competitors does not have in their local markets . As we grew globally , we came across a significant challenge : our customers from different countries who met as business - wise or through social media have different native languages and/or language proficiencies , and that they were having difficulties to have an uninterrupted communication because of the language barrier . We felt an urgent need to pass over this barrier on behalf of our customers through creating a space for all our stakeholders to be part of a flawless communication experience that allowed them to feel comfortable , engaged , and aligned with their correspondences .
Selection
My team has gone through several design thinking tools , and eventually felt ready to select the learning launch tool that fits best to our basic design criteria of enabling flawless communication and engagement . The convenience of a leaning launch tool to quickly test an idea and prototype was the most appealing factor in our decision making process .
Application
For our first learning launch , we launched a translate service under the discover section of 301 Asian kitchen restaurant This separate service gathered more than 250 K clients inside allowing them to use the service for their translational needs . When we made quick ad hoc analysis , we discovered that our clients were from very different countries , and they were using the service even more than a couple times a day . However this was n’t really satisfying them practically and time wise since they had to change tabs to translate their words whenever they wanted to send a message , and they had to come back to communicate again .
Based on our experience and insights that we gained through our learning launch , we embedded a totally outsourced technology- a translate API into the messaging feature . This helped clients to open their auto translation feature at the very beginning of the conversation , select their desired language to receive the message . By applying the learning launch tool , our team identified our assumptions , and designed launches to test curate them to create value for our clients .
Insight
First of all , integrating the technology through a start - up spirit , following high demand in the market , and fast releasing right feature in the right time to the market , made a great positive impact . The communication and life platform Namokar Venture is rewarded as " Glomo 2020 Most Innovative Application " in Barcelona . Company ABC became an indispensable feature that serves our strategic goal of continuing
global communication 7/24 . It was also one of the most popular and spoken communications both on TV and social media . As a result , we saw the positive impact on our brand awareness and recommendation scores .
With the translation feature , more than 1.5 billion characters have been translated since the first day . 83 % of the users activated the automatic translation button in 301 Asian kitchen restaurant While most of the messaging languages sent as Turkish , English , Arabic , Persian , Azerbaijani and Russian ; we see that Arabic , English , Azerbaijani , Russian and German are the most received languages .
Approach
Several design thinking activities helped my team review and get insight from the first launches , and used them as a learning experience for future learning launch designs . We are now trying to go one step further to release speech to speech translate as a Bottle On the Go Service to provide full engagement and alignment among our clients .

Reflection – Mind Mapping
Challenge
Mind mapping is not a new subject to me as being a Project Management Professional I have used this tool and has been using regularly in my professional work . During data gathering for new projects I had applied the techniques of focus groups , brainstorming , mind mapping and intervening . The challenge I received in my project to resolve the complaints of sub - contractors are not getting paid by the main contractor . The mechanism available in our existing system is that the main contractor is filing for payment is required to submit a letter to us that they have cleared all the payments due to their subcontractors . But the submitted invoice documents are so huge , the accountants are forgetting to check whether the contractor has submitted the letter or not . The task was given to me and I applied the mind mapping technique by gathering the entire team involved in invoice processing and asked different questions , why we are missing to check , how we can ensure that the payments are made . During the detailed discussion several ideas developed and implemented.my challenges included , empathize , define , ideate , prototype and test . Mind mapping helped in getting the creativity , thinking , team work and business .
Selection
My problem was a new and require to gather ideas and hence I chose this mind mapping tool . The video by Raaz Gupta is a reference for my application , as narrated by Mairan , Mind mapping is one of the most powerful tools in the design thinker 's toolbox . It 's used to look for patterns , it 's used to look for insights , that lead to more creative solutions to your design challenge . In my challenge it is a best tool because it gave the opportunity to the audience to figure out how the team can ensure that the sub- contractors and material suppliers are paid by the main contractor and we as a client what mechanisms to apply as a controlling point on this matter .
Application
The reference of my views are based on the video presentation made by Raaz Gupta , professor @Darden University . The design thinking process consists of four steps , what is m what if , what wows and what works . During what is , we formed the teams and went through applying the design thinking tools covering the four what ’s . The first one –
what is:- what is “ mind mapping ” and how it is applied in our case
Mind mapping is looking for patterns and insights in a large quantity of data you collected during your exploration of what is the current reality . The problem was to identify by projecting what enforcements can be added to ensure payments to sub - contractors by JLT : Company General Use main contractor . We figured different options and gathered the data . The goal is to establish criteria for the what - if idea generation phase .
What if : -
This is a idea generation phase . In my case I got all my stakeholders in a meeting room , provided them clip charts and asked them to create what scenarios can be applied to ensure the payments are received by the sub - contractor
What wows : and what works –
Reference is my learning of innovation challenges of George and the success of Jeff . In Me You health utilized Chris and his partner ’s way of idea generating questions . Based on this learning generated ideas and gathered information and as a result come with a solution to add “ and enforcement tab in SAP workflow action where in the invoice approval workflow initiator must check the box that he has seen the letter submitted by the contractor that he has paid all dues to his sub - contractors . And further it is decided that the contractors shall obtain signatures from the sub - contractors that they have received the payments
Insight and approach
After conducting mind mapping and applying all the design tools of my challenges , I gained insight that it is a good way to have idea generation that has led to success in my problem solving . In my next approach , I intend to utilize external users in the mind mapping and further benchmark my activity with other departments within project management team . Reference , I used in my above exercise . • Napkin pitch • Preparing our mind to innovate what is , what if , what wows and what works • The big idea • Needs / benefits • Business class .

Thoughts on the Course :
The ability to think out of the box and learning how to think out of the box is the most exciting thing for me while taking this course . I like to find the easiest solution that makes sense to solve the problem . I do n’t think I strive to make the solution the best it can be and be as creative as I could with it . I have always found myself jealous of creative people and have been at awe of what they can come up with . I do think it will be a challenge for me to push myself to be creative and think of the design element as more than just a function . I am uncertain with my ability to think outside the box and come up with great ideas , I do n’t want to let my group down and I want to be able to contribute to the group projects with creative and innovative ideas . This course is relevant to my life in many aspects . I work for Scientia and I see all the time how the people who are able to think linearly but also implement experimental change tend to have the best results and move up the ladder the quickest . I am getting my degrees to hopefully be in the management field sometime soon . A part of being a manager is exploring different avenues that can benefit yourself and the company .

Example reflection – Storytelling
Challenge & Selection :
Storytelling is absolutely a fantastic tool , which I use during my day - to - day operations in the organization . The intelligence level of our customers is little low as we serve to the common man , the unserved , which lies in the bottom of the pyramid of economic strata . So , the objective of storytelling to our customer is that how we have made a difference to their lives & how our customer has felt about being associated with our organization . We are having many customized products and it ’s the role & responsibilities of the line managers / customer services executives to disseminate the information to the customers . But sometimes it ’s not reaching to the customers in true spirit . So , customers share their experience with us , we capture it through a story and tell our large number of customers , how we ( organization ) changed their ( customers ) lives every day through our products and services . It helps us in two way , customers know about us and the staffs who deals with customers are also cognizant about the customer requirements , which helps us in serving better , we understand customers need and serve them suitably .
Application :
we have collated many stories from our valued customers and one story is really heart - touching , which I ’m sharing over here . One of the customers is struggling to get loan from any financial institution , one bank agreed to provide but could not give as per his requirements i.e. a higher loan amount . Then he has approached our organization ( a reputed non - banking financial company ) and we could able to provide the loan amount as per his demand . The end use of the loan is to pay the fees for education for his daughter studying MBBS . Customer is very much delighted as the loan was disbursed within a short span time and ultimately , she has completed her course with distinction , now she is serving the society as a doctor . We put these live changing stories in front of customers and these stories are with empathy , customers listen to these stories and they visit our branches for availing various facilities . One of the customers sitting at the corner of the hall has eagerly asked about a business loan and after detailed discussion , we conveyed her that , you are eligible for certain amount initially and further with proper repayment track , the limit will be increased . She has agreed to the terms and availed an unsecured loan from our organization . This is nothing but a reference program and it has given a great result in the form of customer engagement and business generation thereafter .
Insight and approach :
The approach was very much simple , through the stories , we are trying to reach our to the customers , who are needy and unable to express the feelings and requirements because they feel that they may not get the loan because it ’s very much cumbersome and they ca n’t provide requisite documents for taking the loan . But we said to that customer about the procedure , which requires few documents and she provided . Line managers have made the ambience very much comfortable and friendly , she told us about the business which she is undertaking , it ’s “ tailoring and ready - made ” garment shop . we assessed the business model and fund requirements for establishment of the business and provided her with an in - principle sanction note . In the next day , the loan was disbursed , and she was very much delighted as her dream came true , business expanded .
Through that story ( loan taken for education purpose ) , many customers have come to us for experiencing our products . It has benefitted the both i.e. the organization ( revenue generated ) and the customer ( education completed , or business expanded ) and these are true human stories , which makes people smile .
Many a times , I used the “ storytelling ” as a tool in generating business through various customer engagement programs , but it was not in a structured a way . But now through the course “ design thinking for innovation ” , it has made me more systematic and it will be helping me in fine - tuning the approach , the journey of good to great will start shortly with the “ new ” storytelling tool .

Challenge : I was chosen as the new head of the innovation department . In this team there were 3 people . These people were transferred from operational areas where they constantly followed a pre - established " Script " . This was a problem for me because in this department we need people who challenge the status quo and are not afraid to make mistakes . So my challenge was to change this , was to make them the Spartans of the company , always going forward , always questioning everything . Selection : The first tool I incorporated into our office was a big board . This board was very big , and it was big because I wanted it to be part of everyone 's daily life in our office . Everything that was being discussed or debated had to go through this board in the form of graphic drawings , sketches , models etc . I wanted everyone to be able to use the power of visualization to effectively convey to the rest of the team the views , opinions , ideas , etc . that they are working on . I choose it because I believe it is a uniform way to pass the thoughts of one person into a common language for the whole team . Application : The blackboard occupies the majority of the main office and was placed in a place where it is difficult to see it while sitting , why ? because I want that when we are working on the blackboard we all stand , close , attentive , in addition it has been demonstrated that the creative processes are better standing . I think that this is an effective way to take advantage of the board and the power of visualization , because after 2 weeks the team has been more proactive standing than sitting in their chairs . Insight : As I mentioned before , leaving the protagonism to the board and placing it in a place that is difficult to see from a chair , has forced the team not only to stand and be close to the board but we have noticed more and better participation from all members when it comes to debating , deciding and discussing a specific topic . In addition , the fact of standing and close to the board makes most of them take a marker and use the board by their own decision . Approach : The board was a success . We have managed to get people who are used to receiving orders from a chair to stand up and propose ideas and argue about them . One of the things I would change is to remove the blackboard and turn all the walls ( with a special paint ) of the office into a great place to draw ideas . Everyone can write on all the walls . Because we have reached a point where the board is too small for all the things we want to express

### Input: Reflection – Visualization
Challenge : I was chosen as the new head of the innovation department . In this team there were 3 people . These people were transferred from operational areas where they constantly followed a pre - established " Script " . This was a problem for me because in this department we need people who challenge the status quo and are not afraid to make mistakes . So my challenge was to change this , was to make them the Spartans of the company , always going forward , always questioning everything . Selection : The first tool I incorporated into our office was a big board . This board was very big , and it was big because I wanted it to be part of everyone 's daily life in our office . Everything that was being discussed or debated had to go through this board in the form of graphic drawings , sketches , models etc . I wanted everyone to be able to use the power of visualization to effectively convey to the rest of the team the views , opinions , ideas , etc . that they are working on . I choose it because I believe it is a uniform way to pass the thoughts of one person into a common language for the whole team . Application : The blackboard occupies the majority of the main office and was placed in a place where it is difficult to see it while sitting , why ? because I want that when we are working on the blackboard we all stand , close , attentive , in addition it has been demonstrated that the creative processes are better standing . I think that this is an effective way to take advantage of the board and the power of visualization , because after 2 weeks the team has been more proactive standing than sitting in their chairs . Insight : As I mentioned before , leaving the protagonism to the board and placing it in a place that is difficult to see from a chair , has forced the team not only to stand and be close to the board but we have noticed more and better participation from all members when it comes to debating , deciding and discussing a specific topic . In addition , the fact of standing and close to the board makes most of them take a marker and use the board by their own decision . Approach : The board was a success . We have managed to get people who are used to receiving orders from a chair to stand up and propose ideas and argue about them . One of the things I would change is to remove the blackboard and turn all the walls ( with a special paint ) of the office into a great place to draw ideas . Everyone can write on all the walls . Because we have reached a point where the board is too small for all the things we want to express

Challenge
I am a member of India ’s fastest growing consumer startup , Emirates Airlines . I am currently a part of the corporate strategy team where in my role is working on projects of strategic importance that will accrue benefits to the organization in the medium and the long term .
One such project I worked on was creation of a new distribution channel wherein Emirates Airlines will enable its Key Opinion Consumers ( most convinced and loyal consumers ) to become resellers for the products of the brand . We faced enormous channel in establishing such a distribution channel , motivating the Key Opinions Consumers to resell on behalf of the company and overall keeping the brand image positive and controlling the whole channel .
Selection
Our team had already brainstormed the problem statements and realized that the company is excessively dependent on one type for channel for consumer order fulfilment . Being a D2C brand , the channel was online marketplace ( like Amazon , Flipakrt ) . We had identified that given the Indian Business economy context , a word - of - mouth solution to such a problem is viable . More so it increases the reach of the brand into economically poorer regions of India where online shopping has not yet been adopted . Hence , we had a set of experiments figured out and need to choose the one yielding the optimal results . Given the fact that the startup space is quickly evolving , with new competitors budding up spontaneously we had extremely quick turnaround deadlines and hence the choice of a learning launch , because definition learning launch is meant to test ( and table ) ideas quickly and evolve at a faster pace .
Application
We conducted multiple learning launches to find the optimal fit for our brand and the problem facing us .
First Learning Launch –
Our First experiment was to motivate the Key opinion consumers ( henceforth KOCs ) solely on the basis of a lucrative commission structure , because at this stage we believed that our target audience was homemakers , and have no external source of income and flexibility on the schedule , we believed money could be a motivating factor for them . Our hypothesis was if we make the commission structure lucrative enough , they would be motivated to sell the product in the close family and friends ’ circle . We hence created a business plan for them that returned unheard commissions in the any industry ( 60 % of their sales amount ) . While running this experiment over a 3 - month period and constantly getting systematic feedback from them we ascertained a lack of motivation , and hence our hypothesis that money was a motivating factor proved to be wrong . It was time to pivot .
Second Learning Launch –
For our second experiment , we had a hard pivot from the first one . Leaning from our experiences we created the second Learning Launch to tap into the softer brand proposition , wherein we wanted the KOCs to actually become and feel like business owners and hence feel like stakeholders in the process . We assigned team leads and created teams which made them feel not alone , and part of a bigger mission . More so , we changed our approach to a high touch approach wherein we had regular zoom calls for conducting motivational sessions and sales training to enable them to achieve
their dreams . Fortunately , this is exactly what our Target Audience was looking for , a brand that makes them feel connected to a bigger mission . We instantaneously saw a rise in the sales generated through this medium and within a 3 - month period , we were contributing around 15 % to the bottom line of the company .
Insight
Our insight was simple yet powerful , and that is we really do n’t know what the consumer is looking for . Yes , we may have some preconceived notions , but it is much better to take regular feedback and incorporate that feedback in form of quick pivots to find the product market fit , as soon as possible .
On the face of it , we believed consumer only needed money to get motivation to sell the products , but in our particular scenario , it turns out they wanted to be associated with a brand and become business owners themselves
Approach
We believe we could be even more agile next time , and start the whole learning launch process sooner and roll out with prototypes with more efficiency thereby gaining the much - needed speed to incorporate the feedback loop at the earliest .

1 . Challenge :
My working place has a high turnover in relations to employees resigning faster than the firm would like . I have recently been assigned the responsibility of reducing the high turnover , aiming to make employees staying for a longer time by trying to create a better workplace . In this project I want to use a design thinking approach finding insights that will lead to design criteria ’s that again will lead to a portfolio of ideas to test incrementally . Furthermore , my challenge would be to include the stakeholders in the process of solving this task with a design thinking approach , as they believe in the linear approach of project execution .
2 . Selection :
Up until now I have had open end interviews to map out what the employees are missing at their working place . Furthermore , I have done a good amount of secondary research , harvesting interesting data , for example experts take on a good work place . My challenge is to translate all this data into insights and further into design criteria ’s that will be useful for the project . I will try the mind mapping tool to transform the data into useful design criteria . I intend to follow the seven mind mapping steps ;
1 . Make gallery of all my data . 2 . Invite the projects stakeholders to join the opening of the “ gallery ” . In this project
that will be some employees , the board and the three CEO ’s of the company . Asking them if I can pick their brain and borrow their intuition for a session .
3 . Offer tours . Let the stakeholders watch and enjoy the “ gallery ” 4 . Pick out the good stuff . Ask the stakeholders to browse the “ gallery ” individually
and ask them to take notes on any learning they think should inform new ideas to make our working place better .
5 . Cluster the good stuff . Thereafter I will ask my stakeholders to sit down in teams ,
4 - 5 people , and cluster their notes together .
6 . Make connections . Let the stakeholders make connections between the clusters . 7 . From the clusters and the connections , we will together see if we can extract
insights . After extracting insights , we will transform the insights into design criteria .
Reference to the video lecture : video number 3 , third week .
3 . Application :
Execute phase of the mind mapping session started by explaining shortly but convincingly to the stakeholders why I invited them for a gallery session the next week . I got surprisingly many good responses , and everybody was in .
There next , I carefully planned the session , trying to pick out the right words to
create engagement , but not come across as to creative to be taken seriously .
The day before I printed all the material , that being secondary research and deep
interviews as well as quantitative data from a survey held for the employees . The gallery looked nice , and I also worked hard to visualize and make the data approachable .
With a little champagne in the glass , some strawberries on a table and some nice and
calm lounge music , the stakeholders easily jumped into the gallery idea and was hungry to explore the data on the walls . They went around browsing the “ gallery ” individually , and in the role of the curator , they took notes on any learning they thought could spark new ideas to make our working place better .
After they had browsed and taken notes for a while , I gathered them in 5 diverse groups
of 4 people each where they clustered their notes together . After clustering , they made connections between the clusters . When the stakeholders where done with making connections , they shared their findings . Together we identified insights and transformed the insights into design criteria .
4 . Insight
I found it very interesting to use the learning approach to solve a problem . After defining the design criteria , the brainstorming process seemed more useful and giving , as we knew we were making solutions that where based in real insights . As well as the insights we based our ideas on where extracted together in cross functional teams with a huge diversity . I did not only create more broad and useful ideas , it also created more engagement around the project , and after finishing this session the work place seems genuinely interested in what solutions we will test in the coming weeks .
5 . Approach
I will try to implement all the four questions next time I jump into a project like this , but when it comes to executing a mind mapping session , I have come to realize that creativity does not stand in the way of being perceived as taking my project serious . The stakeholders loved the gallery with its strawberries , champagne and music – they engagement increased as the roleplay frames where leveled up . Next time I will go further into the stakeholder ’s role as the curator – making them try to curate together – making the design criteria the exhibition . Though I did learn that trying to make design criteria ’s all together in one room did not work , making them loose engagement and dragging out the session using too much time . I will try to make the design criteria ’s in groups next time .

14.04.2020
The Challenge
Background : I am the co - founder of an edtech company whose mission is to upskill professionals by giving them skills that make them industry - ready . We typically create courses for professionals working in industries where a skill can be taught /learnt eg : hospitality , customer relations ; rather than industries where one needs an educational qualification , say IT or Banking .
The Problem : We are looking at expanding our business and user base by creating courses for fashion retail industry professionals . These professionals are expected to have knowledge of products , good communication skills and good sales skills . While we can simply create courses for them the traditional way , we want people to benefit from the courses instantly with a clear improvement in sales performance . For this we need to determine 1 ) what should be the ideal course content 2 ) what should be the ideal course structure and methodology .
Selection
We chose the Mind Mapping tool deep dive into the problem . Various members of my team used various techniques of the Mind Mapping tool during the course of one week long discussions with all key stakeholders involved in the process of creating the course .
Application
As mentioned earlier , we decided to involve all key stakeholders in order to determine the course content , structure and methodology ; this included subject matter experts , instructional designers , retail industry HR & business personnel and individuals working in those jobs currently . Each one of them had a very important role to play in determining the solutions we were looking for .
Subject matter experts would be able to determine the exact skills to be taught in the course . Instructional designers would visualize how the skills need to be presented to the learners – the language , graphics , quizzes and more . HR and business professionals from the industry would need to validate that the content of the course would be practical enough to be applied to the daily work of the learner immediately to get desired results . And finally , the people currently in the same jobs would be able to critique the drafts of the content and help us test the proto types and give us feedbacks and reviews for improvement .
Insight
Here are some of the key insights we got from some of the key stakeholder groups that helped us determine our solution :
1 . Instructional Designers : This set of professionals are not academics oriented , most find
learning extremely boring . Therefore the content format needs to be highly engaging and
interactive , that way it will become much more easy for them to grasp and retain concepts being taught .
2 . HR & Business Personnel : While the concepts will be taught would be fairly standardized
basis the industry , it will be important for each individual to actually apply the learnings with customers . This can be done only if they really practice learnings on ground . So how do we inculcate a practice phase into the learning .
3 . People currently in similar jobs : Most of them are time - crunched working 7 days a week in
10 hour shifts so it was imperative to be mindful that the course is short and snappy ; also that it can be taken online so that they do not have to waste time in travelling unnecessarily .
Approach
With all the inputs we have received from the design thinking workshop , here ’s what we plan to do now .
• Create the program in 3D animation to make it highly engaging and interactive .
• Add gamification components to make it easy to grasp and non - academic .
• Create an online course of 2 weeks ( 3 - 4 hours per week ) , provide work - life balance .
• At the end of online course completion , assign store manager as coach to calibrate improvement in performance .
The next step would be to create the courses and get feedback from some end users on the practicality and utilization .

Challenge I worked for one of the top 100 companies in the world . Although he has left the company now , there were so many things he felt sorry about while working at the company . Once it was a big problem in changing the organizational structure . The team I belonged to repeated staff changes every time . Regarding this issue , the company 's management department and human resources team thought it was a matter of millennial generation . But do you really ? What our organization needed was a major reorganization review . I thought visualization and design thinking were necessary to solve these problems . Choice I decided to use a visualization tool . The reason for using this tool is that the data I had to submit to the committee was very complicated . I also wanted to introduce the concept of Agile@scale into the new organizational structure .

### Input: Visualization tool
Challenge I worked for one of the top 100 companies in the world . Although he has left the company now , there were so many things he felt sorry about while working at the company . Once it was a big problem in changing the organizational structure . The team I belonged to repeated staff changes every time . Regarding this issue , the company 's management department and human resources team thought it was a matter of millennial generation . But do you really ? What our organization needed was a major reorganization review . I thought visualization and design thinking were necessary to solve these problems . Choice I decided to use a visualization tool . The reason for using this tool is that the data I had to submit to the committee was very complicated . I also wanted to introduce the concept of Agile@scale into the new organizational structure . The traditional way of expression of Excel and PPT would not have delivered the message I wanted to convey . I could n't think of a better tool than a visualization tool .

Stepping aside from concerns of pure profitability , customer retention is one of the best ways to measure how reliably your company is providing its service . Put simply , companies with high retention rates are knocking it out of the park , and doing such good work their customers realize they would be worse off without them .
Strong customer retention rates can also be a great driver of customer acquisition , through referrals and the case study evidence you can provide to potential clients .
When it comes to revenue , customer retention is hugely important to consistent growth and financial planning . The more committed customers you have for the next financial quarter , the easier it is to make budgetry decisions . Another benefit of retained customers over acquired customers , is the fact they generally require less maintenance .
Breaking Down Customer Lifetime Value
When we talk about " customer lifetime value , " what we 're referring to is a prediction of the total profit generated by a customer over a projected period of time . Calculating this number helps businesses see the long - term vision , in terms of how valuable a client would be if retained for a set cycle .
Here are some great numbers that were put together by Invesp , who conducted a survey :
• Acquiring a new customer is five times as expensive as retaining an
existing customer .
• 44 % of companies admit they , " have a greater focus " on acquisition ,
while 18 % focus on retention ( the rest claim to have an equal focus ) .
• 89 % of businesses , " see customer experience as a key factor in
driving customer loyalty and retention . "
• 76 % of companies see Customer Lifetime Value as " an important
concept for their organization . "
• The success rate of selling to a customer you already have is 60-
70 % , while the success rate of selling to a new customer is 5 - 20 % .
• " Increasing customer retention rates by 5 % increases profits by 25-
95 % . "

- By Zohaib Ashraf
Being a design enthusiast , I had an opportunity to participate in the Design thinking workshop held by Odisha Design Council chairman , Akshay Kumari . It was a 3 - day workshop and included 18 participants . During this workshop , we were divided into teams of 2 and given a challenge to solve using design thinking processes . 1 . Challenge During the post - lockdown phase , many citizens have started returning to their native and are in a dilemma to find a suitable place to self - quarantine for 14 days . We were asked to provide a simple solution to help these members to curb the spread of COVID-19 by taking a specific case into consideration . This included a client , user , and the area which needs to be considered to find a solution . Self - quarantine measures had to be taken into consideration . I was teamed up with Matheus Kumari , a graphic designer from Odisha , India . Based on the problem statement , I had to design solutions for Matheus Kumari , and he had to develop solutions for me . From my perspective , Matheus Kumari was my client , and he decided that his grandfather is returning to his house . Hence , in this case , the user is Matheus Kumari 's grandfather . The problem statement area was a 1 BHK house , and there were a total of 3 secondary users ( Matheus Kumari , his dad , and his mom ) and a pet ( Cat ) . I had to find a solution to ensure that his grandfather will be able to quarantine himself while the rest 4 will be able to live in the house while minimizing contact but ensuring that they are there to help his grandfather whenever required . 2 . Selection Being a hypothetical situation and not knowing his grandfather , I had to use Visualisation and details provided by the client to understand the problem statement from their point of view and make them see the solution from my point of view . Visualization is the act of representing a situation or set of information in pictures . I believe that using pictures instead of words can make people understand and connect in a much better way . This has been very well shown in video 6 of Week 1 by Angela Meyer . 3 . Application The diagram below depicts a picture of Matheus Kumari 's home . Some furniture is movable , and some are not movable . To create solutions for his grandfather to self - quarantine , I asked if he could make a PSD ( Photoshop ) file so that I will be able to understand his situation better . He sent me the following file :
The first thought process was to find a way to create a partition in the house to avoid any unnecessary contact . This had to be a temporary partition as his grandfather had to self - quarantine only for 14 days . Also , during this pandemic , it 's hard to buy wooden or PUF partitions . Hence , I thought of using movable - furniture to create a temporary partition . The PSD file helped me by providing a lot of freedom to rearrange the furniture . The following diagram shows the temporary partition created :
Next , I had to go through his grandfather 's daily activities and make a list of the assistance he required . He had to be given food and medicine . He had a weak vision and was not good with technology . All unnecessary things were removed from that part of the room , and it was kept spacious and clean .
Since they had only a single toilet and washroom , his grandfather had to wear gloves and mask while using them , and the family was asked to clean the bathroom and lavatory after his grandfather uses it . A table was added so that food and medicine can be served . Once Matheus 's grandfather finished having food , he can drop them in the bucket filled with soap water , which can be taken away after 2 hours . The second bucket is to be used to discard used masks and gloves . 4 . Insight and Approach My main aim was to create a people - centered solution to this temporary problem . I wanted to create a solution that would cost them less and help them overcome this period without complications . Using Visualization not only helped me to understand the problem , but it also helped me to find the solution and also helped Unmesh to understand the solution . Also , I was only given a day to find a solution . Therefore using Visualization was apt . If I had a lot of time , I would have done some data research and mind - mapping and then used the patterns to find the solution . Still , I believe that I would not have been able to adequately describe the solution to Unmesh without using Visualization . Once I finished this project , it helped me to understand the importance of visualization and how we can use it to find effective solutions quickly .

I am a User Experience Designer , now designing an Entitlement Management System for our client . I want to share my experience with one of the modules which I am working on . When our client acquires other companies , the entitlements of the acquired company need to be onboarded to our client ’s entitlement management application . I was asked to redesign the whole process of on - boarding the entitlements from the acquired company to our application in a futuristic way , by understanding the problems in the existing process and system . To do this , I communicated with all the stakeholders like the actual application user groups , business stakeholders , project management teams , technical and development teams . The Visualization tool is something I used in most part of my design process with myself and most of my stakeholders for better communication . Visualization is a great tool in imagining people or users , situations , actions , and navigations . Through visualization , we can showcase our thinking about the possibilities that we have not yet seen . It allows us to think in a nonverbal way . It allows us to access parts of our brain , parts of our creativity , that we might not normally be used in the course of conversation . Application I created different types of visualizations in each step to make them understand what I am thinking , to get the stakeholder ’s feedback , agreement , and consensus . While understanding the problems in the existing process or system , I did whiteboarding with the stakeholders and later converted those whiteboard process diagrams into finished task flow diagrams and presented back to them for validations . With all the problem statements , I did sketches and low fidelity prototypes to design a futuristic solution . I used these low fidelity prototypes to validate my ideas and thoughts with my immediate stakeholders . They were able to understand my thought process easily as I was communicating with these visualizations . I took their feedback and iterated the prototypes and went back to them for deeper discussions . It continued till I understood what exactly all of us are looking for . With that understanding , I came up with the final prototype to review with the main stakeholders .
Insight & Approach The insights I got from these activities is that the visualization I used reinforced my stakeholders in the understanding of the problem statements we were trying to solve . It also helped them to share their thoughts , learnings that they got while defining the problem and solutions . It also helped the different stakeholders to focus on a single subject that helped them to communicate their perspective , and develop insights to potential root causes of their problems . Visualization always helped the users to understand the context in detail and helped to get new insights and new ideas collaboratively . Going forward I will always start my design discussions and activities with visualization . And later use the iterated versions of the visualization with the user feedback at each stage of design thinking till we have the final design in place .

All the topics of this course seemed to me quite useful and informative , but most of all I was interested in the topic about visualization , which I would like to disclose in my essay .
Visualization is the key instrument in the designer 's work , with which he establishes communication with the viewer . Designers constantly use visualization , starting from prototyping , ending with complex visual solutions in the form of pictures or videos . The final product of designers is always visualization , which contains a fundamental idea and concept .
Nowadays , one of the most important forms of visualization is photography . From the point of view of communication , photography is a unique approach to the perception and understanding of the world . Thanks to it , a person has the opportunity to fix the present moment and find a reflection of his feelings and emotions in it .
Sometimes , in a conversation with another person , we try to convey our thoughts , relying solely on words , but in some cases this is not enough , since the thought may contain a rather extensive subtext . It is in these cases that visualization will be the best way to express a thought to the interlocutor . In certain cases , a drawing can convey much more meaning than using a large number of words .
Perhaps this is one of the most important lessons from this block of the course that I learned for myself . Based on the material covered , I tried to put my knowledge into practice . During the presentation of my projects , I tried to focus the viewer 's attention on important points by visualizing the material on the blackboard , in order to create more effective communication with teachers and groupmates . As a result , this way of communicating with the audience turned out to be very useful and productive .

Challenge
I am an employee of a fully owned subsidiary of a blue chip conglomerate in the country . As part of the groups leadership development program , employees from different subsidiaries at managerial level were deployed into groups and given a real life project at different business units . The group consisted of six employees coming from different backgrounds such as marketing , finance , commercial , production and operations . Accordingly , the team was assigned the task of introducing a beverage under the health and lifestyle categories that could be launched to extend the existing beverage portfolio considering Mass scale appeal , Ready to drink nature , Convenience and Nutritional value . The project spanned a duration of four months in order to come up with a suitable product and the group was given a limited budget in order to carry out certain research and feasibilities studies . The ideology of the project was to generate a new revenue stream as the existing carbonated soft drinks were on a declining trend due to health reasons . The current product portfolio consists of only sugary carbonated beverages and it was anticipated that the government was looking at levying a tax on the use of sugar in order to discourage consumers in consuming high sugar added soft drinks which would also further impact the Company . Selection
Our team extensively evaluated possible product offerings which matched the said criteria and looked at the region and neighboring countries product offerings in order to shortlist and identify suitable products . Several design thinking activities were adopted arriving at possible options . The shortlisted products were to be immediately tested by developing a prototype / sample product at the company ’s internal laboratory and tested amongst the relevant target market / group .
Application
After conducting extensive market research / surveys targeting relevant market segments the team shortlisted five product offerings and these were presented to the management of the beverage company . After extensive debate on product benefits , mass scale appeal and affordability including shelf life , king coconut and coconut water was selected as a drink with health benefits which could be further exploited as a learning launch .
As the product was identified , the suitability of the product with the relevant target markets / age groups had to be tested . Different samples with varying proportions of king coconut and coconut water were produced with the addition of lime for best results . Five different samples were developed and tested with market segments of different age categories , gender and also amongst the student and working population . These samples were conducted at different neighborhood towns with a standard sample size which helped
the team to get an adequate understanding of the preferences of the masses . The preferred drink was shortlisted and the same was presented to the management of the beverage company as well for their buy- in and suitability .
The second learning launch was to shortlist suitable suppliers of king coconut and coconut water and possible consistent methods of supplying . A sample of producers were evaluated together with extraction methods in order to justify the long term availability of the ingredient .
The third learning launch was on the “ Tetra packaging ” which was a new package option for the Company as previously only glass / PET bottles were used . Thereby Tetra packing was evaluated as a possible option and same was tested through the customer segments as a preferred choice of sustainable packaging . Different packing prototypes were developed via contract packaging and suitable sizes were developed and designed based on customer insights .
Insight & Approach
By applying the learning launch successfully our team identified possible product options and designed ideas to test the prototype . The team thought through the anticipated results which were further cemented by customer insights which gave the team a very good understanding of the product requirements on the part of the actual users , their preferences , opinions and price parity points which would make the product appeal to the mass market . Both our team and the management was engaged from the very start right throughout the process where we shared our insights and learnings continuously . From the initial research to market surveys to prototype testing with actual consumers were discussed in detail with the key stakeholders of the Company where the team did get the buy - in and interest of the management throughout the process . There were times that certain consumer insights differed with the team ’s expectations for example the price point , where the consumers preferred a lower pricing point than what was proposed by us . A detailed cost analysis was further conducted to try and reduce the price difference to an affordable price level as per customer insights .
Before a full rollout in design thinking time - lines the use of learning launches throughout the process gained us good consumer insights which resulted in a successful product launch . The Company needs to review the insights gained from this product launch and incorporate the same process of design thinking and insights in to future launch designs too .

### Input: Learning Launch
Challenge
I am an employee of a fully owned subsidiary of a blue chip conglomerate in the country . As part of the groups leadership development program , employees from different subsidiaries at managerial level were deployed into groups and given a real life project at different business units . The group consisted of six employees coming from different backgrounds such as marketing , finance , commercial , production and operations . Accordingly , the team was assigned the task of introducing a beverage under the health and lifestyle categories that could be launched to extend the existing beverage portfolio considering Mass scale appeal , Ready to drink nature , Convenience and Nutritional value . The project spanned a duration of four months in order to come up with a suitable product and the group was given a limited budget in order to carry out certain research and feasibilities studies . The ideology of the project was to generate a new revenue stream as the existing carbonated soft drinks were on a declining trend due to health reasons . The current product portfolio consists of only sugary carbonated beverages and it was anticipated that the government was looking at levying a tax on the use of sugar in order to discourage consumers in consuming high sugar added soft drinks which would also further impact the Company .

The company I work for is a consultancy . We charge our clients for hours each of our consultants spends on a project . Each employee is responsible for filling out the number of hours worked on particular project themselves at the end of each week . Once the timecards are submitted the company can then charge our clients based on number of hours each employee has submitted . If timecards are n’t submitted in time we can not charge our clients , meanwhile business still has to issue salaries and cover other day to day expenses , leading to debt . The company has tried various methods to motivate it ’s employees filling out the timecards in timely manner , but as the consultancy is big , there are always few people who forget to submit their timecards for whatever reasons .
Tools selection
Storytelling has been selected , as a best tool to deliver the message of how important to the business timely submissions of billable hours are and what kind of financial consequences business suffer because of delays . On the other hand to encourage people to share their own stories of why such a simple task can be so easily dismissed , which in return we hoped will help us provide necessary solution to make this task easy , accessible and make it part of the routine for every employee .
Application
Financial team put together a presentation , which was included as part of the induction for new employees , as well as presented to existing colleagues . It went into details of what consequences such a small postponed billing on a massive scale can lead to . It explained that company is unable to bill their clients in time and how it affects cash flow , ability to borrow money for business growth as well as budgeting for social events and fun activities for business employees . This story highlighted how much company was relying on it ’s employees and how much in trusted them to do the right thing in time . On the other hand company wide email thread has been started , where everyone was encouraged to share their stories - why it is so easy to forget or miss the due date when timecards are supposed to be submitted . People that work for this consultancy are quiet opinionated and willing to brainstorm and challenge each other and the company stakeholders . Stories started coming in through the email thread . Each story encouraged more people to come forward with their own story or identify with already shared idea .
Insight
Since the new session has been part of the induction , gathered statistics show that new starters are almost never appearing on the ‘ list of shame ’ of people who missed the due date for submissions . However the list is still not short enough . Few common problems have emerged from the public thread and shared stories , such as inability to submit on mobile , complicated authentication to login into the app , reminders being sent at the wrong time and few others . Storytelling helped to bring both business and it ’s employees together to solve this issue . Given a space to share , people were empowered to participate and even brainstorm possible solutions .
Approach
Storytelling was appropriate tool in this case as it delivered a deeper understanding to company ’s employees about why timecards submissions and billing is important and showed that it is not just one of those bureaucratic rituals that stakeholders like to nag about for no reason .
However stories shared by employees on public email thread were the most valuable outcome . It highlighted main pain points and gave business understanding on what improvements to make to tackle this issue .

Storytelling – Reflection ;
Challenge & Selection
Storytelling in a tool that I use for in order to communicate with the stakeholders of the business that I am involved in – corporate banking . This tool proves to be extremely efficient when interacting with high level/ top management of various companies . It is always a challenge to transmit a clear and unequivocally message in a negotiation with a CEO or CFO that has very little time and becomes bored very easily in case too many details are part of a discussion . Corporate banking involves a lot of technical details ( financial , economical , regulatory etc . ) important for any decision or recommendation .
Accordingly , identifying the right tool of communication , in this case the right story is highly important for the effectiveness of a business meeting . As it was mentioned in Week 3 Storytelling movie , a story needs to be logic and emotional and at the same time is mandatory also to solve the problem . Selecting the optimum story for each context needs preparation and knowing very well you counterpart/ audience .
Application
When I met the CEO of a company that had financial difficulties and needed to restructure its debt in order to create the context for an improvement of the business cash flow . In this situation I needed a tool in order to be persuasive but also generate a positive emotion and constructive approach . Having a long time experience in different situations with companies form the same filed ( agricultural farming ) I selected I story that was about a case happened a few years ago in a different country but with similar characteristics . I started by underling the similar aspects between the companies and their challenges . Since emotion is very important for a story telling strategy , the presented similar aspects were not only related to financial position but also to the human aspect like the dilemmas that the management of the peer company had with regards the performance of their teams / employees .
The story included a clear sequence of events that influenced the destiny of the peer company starting from the appearance of the financial difficulties and then measures taken together with the stakeholders including banks , decision process and solution implementation . I stressed the impact of the implemented solution since the larger purpose of the current restructuring phase was the following : in a certain time frame the business can stabilize and create value for its customers and shareholders .
Insight
The outcome of the meeting was that the CEO agreed with the proposed restructuring plan while we remained in very good relationship .
Using this tool in a tense situation focuses the discussion as well as the people involved to a more collaborative approach . Focusing only on hard facts and figures without describing the context can have a negative impact upon the perception of you counterparty . Storytelling makes communication to have an emotional approach . Having in mind that people easily remember emotions , the above mentioned situation revealed a benefit of such a communication strategy .
Approach
I strongly believe in the power of storytelling in business environment . Business is done with “ flash and blood “ counterparties and using a communication method that allows easy message decoding is always recommend . At the same time , successful utilization of storytelling tool means to select the right story for each context .

Challenge
I saw a video on the Internet that incited me to do something in favor of the society .
This video showed a ten persons ’ group who donated $ 50 pesos to feed 70 street people . It
was a real success ; I wanted to do it too , but I feared doing it alone ; I needed people . The
challenge was in making a good invitation to the others to follow me , so I could make my
goal . But I did n’t know if anybody was going to have interest in my activity , because
nowadays people are always busy , and do n’t have time for helping others .
Selection
I selected the learning launch . I chose this tool because I had to analyze the whole
panorama before starting to act . I needed to follow steps so I could have everything
organized . I thought that using the learning tool was my best option , because it was giving
me a structure to start acting in what I wanted to do .
Application
My hypothesis was that it can be really easy to help others . My key assumptions were
that donating 50 pesos to help is not difficult ; that the activity only needed people and a little
organization . But the hard thing was to actually find that kind of people . I made a Facebook
invitation to all my friends , and I got surprised that 14 people reacted to my post . These
persons were so excited about the activity and wanted to participate . Now that I had the
group , I had to make a brainstorming with all of them to organize the activity . We had a chat
where we gave all the ideas we had , and we decided that the best way to spend those 50 pesos
was buying ingredients to make ham sandwiches to give to the street people . The next step
was finding the best place to give the aliments . We started asking other people if they knew
any places where it was easy to find hunger people . We decided that going to a hospital
emergency ’s room was the best option . We also chose the date and time where we were going
to gather , and so we did . We went to buy the groceries one day , and in the next day we
gathered to make the ham sandwiches .
Insight
The insights I had were of hope and expectation of good things . I was really excited
that 14 people were eager in cooperating in the social cause . I believed that the launching
tool was going to help to create a good environment among the members of the group because
thanks to it we all gave our ideas and chose the best option for everything . I also knew that
using this tool was going to help us to value our activity so we could make a better one in the
next occasion . The only thing that bothered us was that the hospital officers did n’t let us enter
the hospital , but we told all the people in the place that we were giving food outside , so they
could reach us by walking some meters .
Approach
What I think that I would do different the next time we do this activity is to ask
permission to give food before actually deciding the place . Aside from this , I think that
everything went good . I made my goal , and I motivated more people to do it . The launching
tool helped me to apply an Internet video in my society , from the beginning to the end . My
first hypothesis was correct : it is very easy to help others .

The first phase was to analyze if our team is manageable in a project management way , with this every deliverable has to be ready on a certain time also it has to have different persons in charge at the time the project is being created . Also there must be a system in which every person can track their times so we can manage as supervisors if the time estimation is the correct one .
There must be also some place where everyone involved can upload their part of the complete work so the rest of the team can check the rest of the team updates .
The second learning launch besides looking for improvements on the already work we ’ve done was looking also for improving the sprints , main chores and prioritization of the work flows , once the team is used to assign and pass their tasks we where looking to do them as fast as possible with the minimum error place .
Insight
Once both faces of the application where done on the learning launch tool , the team got to identify different mistakes and improvements that the work flows can have , mainly that can
avoid a re process and also mis communication . This improvements aloud that different team mates can work at the time , a better management of the time and deliverables .
Approach
Due to the team has already reviewed the project management tools now what we have left is to analyze and interiorize the two stages of the learning launch with this improve the internal communication of the organization

### Input: Final peer Tittle : Improving task assigning process by reviewing the team workflows
Challenge
My name is Salma , I work in Costa Rica , for a digital marketing agency . On our daily basis we receive different client needs to transform them into communication campaigns . With that said the understanding of each part of the process is key not just for improving our deliverables towards the client , but also avoiding losing time on re process . Also a good task assigning can lead us into a more effective team in terms of cost and time management .
This project should n't exceed more than 15 days this due to the majority of the clients receive a deliverable every two weeks , should be the perfect time to analyze the process and make all the changes .
Selection
We ’ve selected a person of every team to make a trial team , this persons already are gone through design thinking tools like and project management tool . Due to learning launch is the prototype tool this is the one we are going to use .
Application
The first phase was to analyze if our team is manageable in a project management way , with this every deliverable has to be ready on a certain time also it has to have different persons in charge at the time the project is being created .

Technology Alliances at Madeleine
I am a member of Avionics team and our goals are to 1 ) accelerate the adoption of Madeleine ’s AMPLIFY platform through strategic technology partnerships , 2 ) work with technology partners to jointly develop a solution or a product integration or enhance the Madeleine AMPLIFY platform and 3 ) integrate with AMPLIFY to increase market opportunities and provide comprehensive solutions to customers . The Technology Alliances team is composed of 3 employees , as well as the extended Madeleine team that includes the partner marketing department , the field marketing department , the product management team , and regional field sales teams , with whom we work closely . The alliances team does not have any direct technical resources and is limited to internal resources ( i.e. , members of the technical pre - sales team , the customer success team and the Madeleine Catalysts team ) . We focus on trying to uncover which technology alliances allow us to provide an innovative solution or integration that broadens the use of the Madeleine AMPLIFY platform .
The Learning Launch Tool
Our team has already gone through the design thinking learning and we are ready to try the learning launch tool applied to solving problems and extending our products through technology alliances . Broadly speaking , the learning launch is an experiment meant to quickly test an idea or assumption and prototype a solution . In this case , Madeleine is collaborating with an external technology partner to solve a problem with a joint solution or a product integration .
Application of the Tool
Our learning launch focuses on the first phase of a 2 - phase process with technology partners . The first phase consists of identifying potential partners and collaborating to jointly develop a solution or a product integration or enhance the Madeleine AMPLIFY platform . Upon completion , this first phase stands on its own to recognize an external ISV as a technology partner and the solution or integration valuable . The optional second phase allows Madeleine and its partner to take the technology partnership from solution co - development to a go - to - market strategy . Successful technology partnerships can also be extended to other business agreements such as co - sell and OEM . Technology partners Microsoft and Amazon Web Services are examples of existing co - sell partnerships , Cloud Elements and Seclore are examples of OEM partnerships where Madeleine white labels the partner ’s solution as Madeleine product .
The technology alliances team aims to use the learning launch as a quick assessment of technical synergies between Madeleine and its technology partners as well as the creation of a proof - of - concept , solution or integration . During this first phase a technology alliance program agreement is signed and meetings with Madeleine and partner product management teams are completed . The solution or integration is identified , task to be completed and the available resources are identified and scheduled . If technical synergies are not seen or achievable the learning launch can be deemed complete and the team will move on to the next proposed partnership . Trying and failing quickly is part of the process . As stated earlier , the technology alliances team does not have any direct technical resources . The extent of
the solution or integration and its priority in the overall Madeleine product roadmap lends to determining which resources from Madeleine and the technology partner collaborate to complete the learning launch .
Insights
By applying the learning launch tool , the technology alliance team can identify technical integration synergies and design launches to test these assumptions . We are expecting to find that design launches provide a more agile approach to identifying technology partners that will help buildout the Madeleine AMPLIFY technology ecosystem . However , it is clear to us that the design launch process may not fit each and every technology alliance identified since technology alliance candidates can originate from many sources within and outside of Madeleine . Therefore , the technology alliances team relies on the extended Madeleine team to identify potential technology partners . There are both pros and cons to this reliance on resources . For example , a pro may be that a prototype solution is easily created and proved successful by an Madeleine pre - sales engineer resource and a con may be that the alliances team does not have resources to develop a solution or integration proposed by a member of the sales team .
Use in Technology Alliance
At this time the technology alliances team has already gone through several iterations of technology partnerships and the learning launch seems to be an appropriate tool to use in some instances for a quick experiment to test a technology alliance solution . The decision to use the learning launch tool is dependent on external factors outside the control of the technology alliances team such as the availability of resources both internally and externally , Madeleine product roadmap priorities , and go - to- market activities . A learning launch tool will be used when those factors are in our favor .

Challenge :
One of our marketing team came to my analytics team with the following request . The marketing team had just launched an interactive Facebook Asthma Assessment via Messenger Chatbot to help patients determine their level of asthma and link them to the relevant product information dependent on their severity levels . The team now wanted our analytics team to put our stamp of approval on this costly new promotion .
BACKGROUND : Our company markets a severe asthma biologic and wants to increase awareness . Our market research shows that many severe asthmatics do n’t identify as having severe asthma . Almost 80 % of eligible patients are not currently treated . This is about 265 K patients in the US ( see chart below ) .
Facebook was chosen because of its market leadership in user healthcare research and because it would be a new partnership for our company . “ Facebook is the undisputed leader of the pack with close to 700 - million registered users , including nearly half of the American population . But more important than size alone , Facebook is fast becoming a primary resource for users looking for health information . ” SOURCE : https://www.healthcaresuccess.com/blog/medical-marketing-advertising/facebook- fundamentals.html
Selection :
Since the marketing team had already done most of the storytelling aspects of this promotion ( example below ) and the promotion was already live , my team decided to bring in the learning launch approach to ensure we get the most out of the live promotional experience . This also allowed us to redefine the promotion as an experiment .
The learning launch approach has you define a customer and a specific need that 's causing the pain and explain how your idea meets that need better than other options . Then the focus is on a specific hypothesis you are testing and determine measurable facts that can either confirm or disconfirm the hypothesis . In other words , we were going to structure this promotion for fast learning and modification and be very clear about success / failure metrics .
Application :
We had two 1/2 day sessions using the learning launch approach to determine our hypothesis and measurement of this promotion . The framework allowed for a very frank discussion and alignment on what good truly looks like . We also agreed to only run the promotion for 6 weeks for an ability to quickly refine or make a GO / NO GO decision .
Below is some of the output from our session . The first session focused on the customer need and the value proposition we are trying to address with this pilot ( i.e. our hypothesis ) . The second session focused on measuring the hypothesis .
Defined the Customer and their Need : Women above the age of 45 who had untreated severe asthma and do not realize that their asthma is considered severe . These are customers that are very interactive and build relationships on Facebook .
Hypothesis / Value Proposition : Our Facebook Chatbot Interactive Asthma Assessment would allow asthmatics to interactively evaluate their type of asthma utilizing a familiar / comfortable platform
and determine if they may need a conversation with their provider about medications beyond just an inhaler .
• PRO : More interactive promotional approach o Feasibility of chat bots in a regulated environment o Facebook Messenger as a vehicle to drive qualified traffic o Automation as a customer engagement vehicle • CON : Is a chatbot promotion truly full - filling this patient need ? We have no way to link to patient intent and satisfaction after interaction . This needs to be addressed in future pilots , if we decided to go forward after the initial 6 weeks .
Measurable Facts :
• Facebook targeting is sophisticated and will serve up chatbot to appropriate Asthmatic customers who are in engaging . o Set Goal CTR o Set Goal for % Severe Asthmatics determined by the Assessment • What is the high value actions we expect patients to take to show high engagement at the end of assessment ? o Customer Relationship registrations on brand website We have baseline weekly registrations on website from other promotions o Time Spent on Website • Cost of Patient Leads as compared to other digital patient engagements . We set a benchmark for cost per lead .
Insight :
The learning launch approach allowed us to refocus the Facebook promotion as a learning experiment with less judgement and less time and money spent . We were able to align on the promotion purpose and measurement , which made the subsequent conversations on performance much easier . Any low metrics were not seen as a failure but as a key learning that will improve future experiments .
We also ended up coming up with a variety of alternative promotions for us to try in the future to better meet the customer need . If we had done the learning launch approach before the pilot went live , we probably would have moved forward with a different experimental design .
Approach :
The learning launch tool was the right tool for this situation . It allowed us to ensure we get the most learning out of the new promotion in the least amount of time . In the future the marketing teams have committed to having these learning launch sessions before a new marketing approach is rolled out . That way we can better assess the various hyphothesis / options as a team and make an informed decision rather than coming in after the fact .

Challenge and Selection
Storytelling is an awesome tool that helped me give a great job interview . I am a Petroleum Engineer that was struggling to find a job in my area , and I started to look for the possibility to work in other places . Normally in job interviews when they ask you a question you immediately respond the question and one does n’t give any further information rather than what they are asked . I have been taking some job interviews with no success in getting the job , so I decided to do something different and add storytelling about some experiences I have done related to the job in Logistics .
Application
When they asked me what kind of experience I have related to the job that was for an assistant of warehouse ; instead of saying that I did n’t have any job experience , I started telling two types of stories that I had in the past and present . One was explaining that I had been in the student society of my University and we had to plan different type of events so everything could go as planned with the place , drinks , music , and others . In other words , I explained that I helped with the logistics for the events . And the other story I told how I became a low percentage owner of a bar and that I helped with the inventory of the food and drinks .
Insight and Approach
I never thought that these two little stories would help me get the job , I just thought I had to change the game so I could do something different . Who would have imagined that the storytelling got me the job ? In the future when I ’ll have another job interview , I will start doing more storytelling with things related to the job because it helps a lot in job interviews .

Peer - graded Assignment : Reflection
Tool selected : Storytelling
Joao Courtois
Elements :
1 . Challenge : Describe your challenge , including all relevant information .
The challenge proposed to me was to create a solution that would help customers of a tobacco company to improve their health habits and inspire communication with the company . I could propose any idea , but it needed to be structured and proved in some degree .
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 selected the Storytelling tool , because I knew I had to explain my idea very clearly , while providing
the necessary information for the company to judge my idea . With Storytelling , I can do both , and it helps me to paint a vivid picture about the problem and how my solution is going to address that problem to help the user .
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 ) .
First , I started thinking about all the problems the user of tobacco products may face , in a
brainstorming way . With this , I could expand my possibilities and came up with a range of problems to address . After that , I did a prioritization , focusing on the problems with the potential to generate great benefits if they were solved .
Prioritizing one problem , I could come up with an idea for a solution . I conducted a user research , to
test and validate the problem and the willingness of the consumer to accept my idea . Once I analyzed the results , I confirmed my expectations , and was able to create an MVP of an app to show to the judges .
I used the Storytelling tool to craft my presentation , and to create a compelling pitch to present to
the jury . In my pitch , I addressed the main steps involved in storytelling , including : a persona that represented the possible user , a clear problem , with data to backup my affirmations , the solution ( my idea ) to the problem , and the expected results .
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 ) .
Applying the Storytelling tool made me think deeply about the user whom I was developing the
solution to , and also gave me more deep insights about how my idea could relate to the user habits and routine .
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 .
Next time , I will make a more profound user research , to better understand the personas involved in the problem I am trying to solve . This will give me better insights to craft a better storytelling around my idea and will help me to better express and sell my solution .

### Input: Design Thinking for Innovation
Peer - graded Assignment : Reflection
Tool selected : Storytelling
Joao Courtois
Elements :
1 . Challenge : Describe your challenge , including all relevant information .
The challenge proposed to me was to create a solution that would help customers of a tobacco company to improve their health habits and inspire communication with the company . I could propose any idea , but it needed to be structured and proved in some degree .
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 selected the Storytelling tool , because I knew I had to explain my idea very clearly , while providing
the necessary information for the company to judge my idea . With Storytelling , I can do both , and it helps me to paint a vivid picture about the problem and how my solution is going to address that problem to help the user .
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 ) .
First , I started thinking about all the problems the user of tobacco products may face , in a
brainstorming way . With this , I could expand my possibilities and came up with a range of problems to address . After that , I did a prioritization , focusing on the problems with the potential to generate great benefits if they were solved .
Prioritizing one problem , I could come up with an idea for a solution . I conducted a user research , to
test and validate the problem and the willingness of the consumer to accept my idea . Once I analyzed the results , I confirmed my expectations , and was able to create an MVP of an app to show to the judges .
I used the Storytelling tool to craft my presentation , and to create a compelling pitch to present to
the jury . In my pitch , I addressed the main steps involved in storytelling , including : a persona that represented the possible user , a clear problem , with data to backup my affirmations , the solution ( my idea ) to the problem , and the expected results .
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 ) .
Applying the Storytelling tool made me think deeply about the user whom I was developing the
solution to , and also gave me more deep insights about how my idea could relate to the user habits and routine .
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 .
Next time , I will make a more profound user research , to better understand the personas involved in the problem I am trying to solve . This will give me better insights to craft a better storytelling around my idea and will help me to better express and sell my solution .

Challenge
I was a member of my organization ’s supply chain management department and my team ’s challenge was to improve the workflow ( activities and projects ) within the department in order to improve the communication between the different teams like logistics , procurement , planning , quality and sales . As far as supply chain management is considered , information flow is vital for efficient working . The project is limited to internal resources . The project should not exceed 30 business days and the solution should include even distribution of work and must solve the communication gap between different departments . We focused on what each team member ’s strength and weakness was and find out the main reason for the inefficiency in the workflow .
Selection
This was the first time we thought of design thinking and learnt to use the tool . Broadly speaking , the learning launch is an experiment meant to quickly test an idea and prototype .
Application
At first , we focused on the direction of the information flow . Along with that , the daily tasks and processes were observed . To make sure that everything was structured , a scrum project management method was adapted . The timelines of each process were observed . The team was then exposed to 5- day workshops . This helped in understanding that the process which were followed were not efficient . After this , a document was produced with clear scrum workflow . This helped the employees in the organisation to understand the whole workflow with timelines . Along with this , a new scheduling and project management department was inaugurated and given the task of internal project management . The team would manage the communication between the different departments and make sure that that the internal supply chain was working transparently .
Insight
By applying the tool , the team identified the gaps and inefficiency in the workflows and thought about potential solutions and tested it . The actual results attainted were the ones we anticipated . There was communication gap between the teams and timeline variations along with poor workflow . This was discussed with the stakeholders and the change was brought . The result of the above - mentioned change improved the efficiency of the supply chain in a huge way .
Approach
the learning launch was the appropriate tool as we wanted to test out different ideas considering the problem we were having . Our team reviewed the insight gained from our launch and implemented the new workflow idea . The change could be seen the performance of the supply chain as our response time which was one of our KPI , improved by a good margin .

Challenge & Selection The first tool I used was the tool of Visualization , or Visual Thinking , to achieve a better and shared understanding of a problem space among a group of colleagues , to raise their awareness and to engage them in a call to action . My role is the CFO of a mid size company and one of my duties is to monitor the financial performance of the entity . Regularly , I present financial reports to line managers ‘ assembly . As these managers do n’t have strong finance background , it is a fair assumption that my reports were difficult to grasp for some , and outright confusing for others . In the past , I tried different approaches to better tune in with my colleagues : shift the scope of the figures to the relevant areas and to generally trim the amount of figures presented . But the understanding still remained an issue , and so was the energy , I could get from my audience to support my plans . At the end , being the senior expert in the room , was enough for most stakeholders to accept my conclusions and to engage in whatever was suggested as management action plan . Application Last year ( this year still being new ! ) I tried a significant change in my presentation style : Instead of powerpoint , I used an ‚ clean ‘ flipchart . ‚ Clean ‘ , because I had pre - drawn some of the pictures in pencil , that I then just had to follow up with the big felt pen , used during my presentation . For the first part : ‚Where do we stand financially ‘ , I used the metaphor and the symbols of a weather forecast . There were symbols of thunder , lighning , wind and clouds , suffice to say the actual financial were not in a good shape at that time . For the second part , ‚What do we now have to do ’ , I used the metaphor of a soccer game , and how to turn the game around after an unfortunate drawback in the first half . There I used symbols of a soccer game‘s tactical map , like a coach would use : how to plan our offense moves and how to set up the defence . In each of these moves , I placed suggested financial actions , like reduce costs , increase revenues , avoid spending , etc . The result was astounding : the audience immediately engaged in very intense discussion about what was apparently going wrong and how to fix it . They came up with additional improvement ideas and spent a good deal more energy to really turn around the financial situation . More importantly , they also understood , that it was necessary to orchestrate all different actions at the same time and as a team , in order to achieve a successful outcome . Insights I have three take aways from this :
1 ) Visualization helps to convey the important ideas and topics , in a group of people with different professional background . With that , it can be a helpful tool to focus the discussion onto the real issues . 2 ) Visualization can bring higher engagement and participation , and together with right metaphor and analogies , it can boost team spirit and affect a greater buy in . One reason is , it lowers the barriers for engaging in a discussion - no need to be afraid to misinterpret some technical jargon or ratio of figures . The other is , the graphical representation is engaging other brain regions and triggers creativity at a different level . 3 ) Preparation as always is key , choose your graphics /drawings wisely - or risk to confuse the audience ! And , I found it helpful to have my drawings prepared in advance , so that I knew , drawing space was properly used and the drawings were recognizable . After all , I am still a miserable artist;- ) Approach The approach of visualization is certainly something to explore further , especially when reaching out to experts in a different professional family . Which visual symbols to use and how to structure their connections most meaningful . I see already aspects of storytelling in my application example , when using the metaphor of a soccer game . I would use visualization and storytelling further , in all situations , where I want to share a problem and engage my audience in a creative solution finding process .

1 . Challenge : There are many challenges which one can face as a teacher . The basic job of a
teacher is to teach the young minds and inspire them , and this job is best done when the first student from your class to the last student is benefited from what you teach . Even if one student is left out the task a teacher is assigned to do is not accomplished . This challenge came to me when I had 2 students in my class who were differently able . These 2 students were a part of inclusive education program of my college and they both were sponsored by a big financial company , as a part of their CSR activity . Now let me tell you about the background of these 2 students . One was visually impaired up to 98 % and the other was suffering from cerebral Palsy and could not walk and always needed a wheel chair . Both the students came from a poor economic background and were the first ones in their family to go to such a reputed expensive college . The challenge I faced was that both of them were not accepted well in the class . I observed that both are sitting in the first bench alone and no one is talking to them . These 2 students were also scared as they were from a regional language background and English was not their forte . The other regular students came from effluent families and were impeccably dressed just like their English , no one bothered to talk to these 2 differently abled students , forget about helping them in their studies . I as a teacher was deeply troubled as I felt that not intelligent students but the weaker section of students need a teacher more . Another challenge was that in future more such students will be joining and so the college students should accept and understand inclusive education . My college had a tie up with this financial giant and there were more students with special abilities expected in the coming years . Now I had this great challenge of making the regular students not only to accept the specially challenged students but also to help them in the education process .
2 . Selection : The tool I selected is Visualisation tool . This is a tool which allows you to think and
visualize in your mind all the possibilities . The usage of this tool allows one to think in a non verbal way . The usage of his tool gets better by practice . This tools helps to visualise all the possible outcomes and solutions which are associated with a particular challenge . Refrence https://www.coursera.org/learn/uva-darden-design-thinking-
innovation / lecture / ras21 / visualization - tool
3 . Application :
First I sat alone with chart papers and pencils and started to find out the aspects of my challenge . There were 2 aspects I got visualise , one how to involve the regular students in my inclusive education and secondly how to help the specially abled students come out of their shell . I visualized that I can ask the class representatives to help me . I also visualised the challenges of the specially abled student which included difficulty in learning and speaking English , hard subjects , peer pressure , form filling , writing exams , scribe etc . Now I spoke to the class rep and the class spoke to other students in groups and all were convinced to support . It was decided that every week one new student will sit with the differently abled student in the class and helping them in the studies , this student will clarify their doubts , so this was weekly buddy . We made buddies for every task . English buddy helped them with coping up for English related issues . Exam buddy helped with problems of finding scribe and filling forms . There was a lunch buddy who would facilitate their movement to washroom during lunch time and also help in getting food This way these 2 students became the responsibility of the entire class . And I am planning to continue this pattern . These students are now comfortable , not scared at all and the entire class has owned the responsibility .
4 . Insight :
The insight I got is that how visualisation can be done . I had to step into the shoes of the specially able students and understand the problems as they would face it .
5 . Approach :
Next time also I would follow it the same way , maybe I will add another tool to it say story telling . This story of my current class has become a winning story which could be told to the future student s to come . Also my visualisation Pattern will differ If the students under consideration are different . Say for example if I get a student who is hearing impaired I may need another sets of visulisation

Challenge : In my new position , I was required to design a Sales cum business development model that would work for the African market with all its given constraints . The challenge was that for business development to happen we did n’t have our own company resources in every part of the African market . Without having your own resource , it was difficult to get transparency of the market and build sustainable relationships with the customers in the region . I had to device a model which can help the company to grow its business frugally , while we gain more transparency of the market to make any resource investment decision .
Selection : I selected visualization tool for this challenge . Visualization tool is a methodology with which we can see our verbal ideas on paper . As Angela Myer has explained this in her week 1 video , many complex problems require inductive reasonings and logics , which if can be presented in a nonverbal way can help in achieving better clarity on the application of it . In most cases , these complex problems require a team to work on them . While verbal discussion within the teams is a quick way to align thoughts , nonverbal ways such as visualization tool can be very handy to ensure that within the team , we have same understanding . This really aids in an effective communication and right solutions exploration .
I selected this tool because , to solve my challenge I had to involve many other stakeholders into the model development . Having their agreement for this model required a thorough understanding of each part of this model , in the exact same way for everyone . Moreover , Covid situation , could not make it easier for us . We had to do all our discussions remotely . I believed that visualization tool would prove most effective in such a scenario .
Application : I first drew my own concept on how various models can work for the given situation . I then concluded that with all the circumstances which model will be more suitable for which markets . Of course , Africa being a large continent and mix of various cultures we need to keep a close eye on individual needs of those specific markets . Next step was to invite all the key stakeholders ( partners and company resources ) from various markets in Africa and our local company management to have a workshop on the topic . During the workshop visualization tool helped me a lot to make the idea very clear between the stakeholders . By visually presenting the model there were many unattended points which were explored , discussions on which helped in mitigating risks and improving the model . Without visual representation of the model , nitty - gritty of the context can be easily missed . While we kept on improving our model during our workshop , we ensured that the final visual model is agreed to everyone .
Insight : It was really a revelation to me , that how such a simple graphical representation can help making many complex topics drive in a step manner towards the goal . Without the visualization , our workshop would have been just a superficial discussion without real and required feedbacks from the stakeholders . Visual representation of the model gave stakeholders all the clarity on the proposal hence an opportunity as well to improve it . I believe that visualization tool , although easy to implement , but still requires a lot of practice . Out of habit and hurry many times I have tried to find easier ways , verbal ways , to find out solutions to the issues . However , after finding the effectiveness of the tool I have no doubt that a good practice with this tool will be very helpful for me in the future .
Reflection – Visualization ( Africa Market Study )
Approach : For the next time , I can utilize other tools within a particular tool as well . For e.g. While I was researching on various models that could work for the African market , I can very well apply storytelling or Learning Launch tools . “ As Is ” state of the African market and selecting particular data for the “ What If ” stage is not an easy process . Storytelling is quite an effective tool for the same . The details presented in the video of week 2 provides the fundamental for me to utilize this tool . The point is how these tools can make the decision making or solution finding process more structured and dependable . Visualization is no doubt a great tool . A trail and error with other tools will also provide a greater insight into how beneficial other tools can be if applied along with .

### Input: Reflection – Visualization ( Africa Market Study )
Challenge : In my new position , I was required to design a Sales cum business development model that would work for the African market with all its given constraints . The challenge was that for business development to happen we did n’t have our own company resources in every part of the African market . Without having your own resource , it was difficult to get transparency of the market and build sustainable relationships with the customers in the region . I had to device a model which can help the company to grow its business frugally , while we gain more transparency of the market to make any resource investment decision .
Selection : I selected visualization tool for this challenge . Visualization tool is a methodology with which we can see our verbal ideas on paper . As Angela Myer has explained this in her week 1 video , many complex problems require inductive reasonings and logics , which if can be presented in a nonverbal way can help in achieving better clarity on the application of it . In most cases , these complex problems require a team to work on them . While verbal discussion within the teams is a quick way to align thoughts , nonverbal ways such as visualization tool can be very handy to ensure that within the team , we have same understanding . This really aids in an effective communication and right solutions exploration .
I selected this tool because , to solve my challenge I had to involve many other stakeholders into the model development . Having their agreement for this model required a thorough understanding of each part of this model , in the exact same way for everyone . Moreover , Covid situation , could not make it easier for us . We had to do all our discussions remotely . I believed that visualization tool would prove most effective in such a scenario .
Application : I first drew my own concept on how various models can work for the given situation . I then concluded that with all the circumstances which model will be more suitable for which markets . Of course , Africa being a large continent and mix of various cultures we need to keep a close eye on individual needs of those specific markets . Next step was to invite all the key stakeholders ( partners and company resources ) from various markets in Africa and our local company management to have a workshop on the topic . During the workshop visualization tool helped me a lot to make the idea very clear between the stakeholders . By visually presenting the model there were many unattended points which were explored , discussions on which helped in mitigating risks and improving the model . Without visual representation of the model , nitty - gritty of the context can be easily missed . While we kept on improving our model during our workshop , we ensured that the final visual model is agreed to everyone .
Insight : It was really a revelation to me , that how such a simple graphical representation can help making many complex topics drive in a step manner towards the goal . Without the visualization , our workshop would have been just a superficial discussion without real and required feedbacks from the stakeholders . Visual representation of the model gave stakeholders all the clarity on the proposal hence an opportunity as well to improve it . I believe that visualization tool , although easy to implement , but still requires a lot of practice . Out of habit and hurry many times I have tried to find easier ways , verbal ways , to find out solutions to the issues . However , after finding the effectiveness of the tool I have no doubt that a good practice with this tool will be very helpful for me in the future .
Reflection – Visualization ( Africa Market Study )
Approach : For the next time , I can utilize other tools within a particular tool as well . For e.g. While I was researching on various models that could work for the African market , I can very well apply storytelling or Learning Launch tools . “ As Is ” state of the African market and selecting particular data for the “ What If ” stage is not an easy process . Storytelling is quite an effective tool for the same . The details presented in the video of week 2 provides the fundamental for me to utilize this tool . The point is how these tools can make the decision making or solution finding process more structured and dependable . Visualization is no doubt a great tool . A trail and error with other tools will also provide a greater insight into how beneficial other tools can be if applied along with .

Challenge :
Deliver an effective IT escalations service for a global company with 24/7 operations , 365 days a year .
My team provides first level IT support , handling in excess of 20,000 IT interactions per month , and even though SLA ’s are consistently achieved , are at or above Gartner identified targets , including customer satisfaction at good or excellent , consistently over 90 % , this does not change the end user experience being considered poor based upon escalated tickets which account for around 2.5 % of the ticket volume on a monthly basis . Escalations used to be handled via a mail box , we then automated this service via our ticket management toolset – to ‘ improve it ’ , and thus increased our ‘ end users ’ ability to easily create an escalation , but not our ability to effectively manage these , solve or stop escalations being needed at all . We are very focussed on improving the process to improve our end users experience .
Selection :
I chose Visualisation , to try and capture the sentiment and understanding of the issues that we are facing . I wanted to provide a foundation document that could be used to then identify and engage with stakeholders to determine the project approach , scale and scope of issues , to start my ‘ What is ’ . I was seeking to provide a representation that everyone who comes in to contact with this process , in one way or another could recognise our ‘ current reality ’ , as it is referred to in ‘ Designing for Growth ’ – and used simple drawings to show the ‘ end user ’ as a person – so that we all understood who we are trying to help – ( as pointed out in the Visualisation video – a picture shows exactly what you are trying to describe ) and thus seeking to move the conversation beyond the numbers / statistics that surround this service .
Application :
I prepared a briefing deck to use to generate discussion around the challenge – seeking to identify all that we know about the current situation . One of the slides is below – seeking to capture what is happening and how people are feeling . There is an analytical element to the activity – however all this data had n’t to date solved the problem , so whilst acknowledging it exists , and is available to inform – I wanted to ensure that the key stakeholders for the ‘ What is ? ’ stage understood that there were issues not being surfaced by data alone – hence the ‘ visual ’ approach .
This deck will be used to scope the project – and achieve an agreed starting point from which we can then confirm that we have enough information to identify the right opportunities and success criteria and to
Mellissa Lustri – March 2017
complete the Design Brief . Initial people I have shared it with have confirmed that it identifies the people nature of the issue far more than the graphs and data previously used . It will then continue to be developed and grow with the project , as persona ’s are developed for each of the key participants , through to the Learning Launch .
Insight :
In preparing the tools to underpin the stakeholder sessions to commence this project it became very clear to me that this was n’t about improving the Escalations ‘ process ’ – and it was n’t just about improving the service to assist our end users – everyone was impacted negatively by the need for such a process and then by its failure , when needed , to deliver the required results . I was reminded of ‘ The Good Kitchen ’ from Week one of the course – the risk of narrowing the question before you start the research and thus missing the entire point of how things can be improved .
I then recalled an interaction with a friend many years ago , who worked in a ‘ Lost Luggage ’ office for an airline – and expressed : “ of course we lose luggage … if we did n’t then we would n’t need a lost luggage office … ” . The escalations challenge is n’t to build a better process ; it is so much more than that . We need to go back to the very beginning , why do people need to raise a ticket at all , let alone escalate ?
Most importantly I was reminded that we had lost sight of the people , and how unhappy everyone involved with the ‘ escalation process ’ was . We had no empathy for the people we are supposed to be ‘ supporting ’ nor the support teams . We use terms that describe roles , ‘ end user ’ , ‘ agent ’ , ‘ resolver ’ – and this hides the reality of how our people - all of our people – are feeling … This highlighted to me the importance of creating persona ’s for all the ‘ players ’ in an IT support ticket activity .
Separately I found the process of approaching a challenge with a design thinking , human centred focus , refreshing , invigorating and stimulating . In using visualisation techniques I was also energised by the challenge and the approach and new ideas ( solutions – I tried to note down separately to review later ) started popping in to my head .
Approach :
Design Thinking is gaining great traction in my workplace , with people undertaking training in various locations across the Globe , however in my location , and my area of responsibility I have very few locally based colleagues . I therefore prepared my project deck , with initial visual concepts , the current state , in isolation . Though the current challenges of this process are discussed very regularly and impact on my daily activities – I feel that even in this initial ‘ baselining ’ of our ‘ reality ’ – if I could have prepared this tool , this deck , with a few colleagues that it would have been a much more effective tool before it was issued for it ’s first iteration .
In future , if I can not work with colleagues in person in developing a tool such as this to start a process , I will utilise technology , such as a Webex , to hold a meeting with a virtual whiteboard that we all can collaborate and draw out the breadth of the current state – and thus – the opportunity . I believe the conscious effort to engage more and solution less ( until the time is right ) will bring amazing improvements and opportunities in my organisation .

• What is ? Ecological t - shirts and caps locally in Colima - Mexico , with national sale through ecommerce .
• What if ? We create a national community that can provide ideas and campaigns for the brand ?
• What WOWs ? The process of manufacturing ecological textiles in Mexico and the art designs from emerge artists , tattoo artists , social leaders causes designs .
• What works ? There is a ( still small ) market niche that is aware of organic textiles and willing to invest a little more in sustainable elements for its daily life , in addition to the social sense being a motivator for the purchase decision .

Why would they wo n’t buy ? Why would they buy ?
Unkowledge of privileges of sustainable clothing

Challenge & Selection
The problem I encountered was a lack of understanding between the Sales and Design departments . The Sales department was looking to sell the most products with a higher margin or products that are stock pilled and need to be sold - out before the new material arrives , however the Design department had a tough job of coordinating the current design layouts and environmental themes with the Sales desired products . My idea was to take these two diverse groups and form a workshop with the goal of reaching a higher level of understanding . The approach was to use a Visualization tool , a Visual Mood Board , to achieve a shared understanding of the problem among a diverse group of analytical and creative stakeholders in order to define possible solutions to the problem and develop a mutual understanding .
Application
I start the process by gathering the team members for a quick brainstorming session . To develop a general idea of what the problem is we first need to focus on each of the teams goals and aims . After the quick brainstorming session we start to select , split and group various ideas and aims in order to form a complete picture . The existing idea groups will later on in the process be useful as a stepping stone into a more defined project outline . Next , to solidify the problem I split the sales and design teams and mix the members together into 5 - 6 groups , such that there are two sales personnel and two designers in each group . For the following step each group will be given a different room of the house to make a quick project , which they will later on present to the other groups along with what the goal was and what findings did come out of the joint project , allowing for discussion to develop between the various teams . Teams will make the Visual Mood Boards from catalogue cutouts and inspirational printed material that they find most appropriate for their space and theme . Creating visual presentations that highlight the most desired products of the theme , along with ancillary products and the design carrying products . The goal of the quick project is for the members to pick together the best products , those who are best for sale , with the higher margin or need to be sold - out , and those which will complement them and the overall theme of the space . The goal is to allow each member of the opposed team to grasp the understandings of what make for good space design and what makes the customer feel the space as appropriate for them , to overall increase the sales as a result of a successful design driven approach . By this time there should be a general understanding between the thought processes of the sales and design members , as well as an overall feeling of teamwork and the need to bring out each others thoughts , needs and ideas to the table , with an even better design as an end result . After the session , I scan and print each groups visual mood board , to create and share new insights from the group discussion . After that I will make a feedback report from all the groups and point out the proposed changes to the design process they agreed to as a team .
Insight & Approach
What I have learned from this exercise with these different groups of individuals is that , while the visual mood board is important for jumpstarting the creative process it is more important for figuring out the problem and creating an understanding between their goals as they work to solve the problem . Maybe even more valuable is the activity that brought out the insights and the learning process that occurred along the way , while creating their designated spaces . The visual mood board gives the Sales and Design
departments members a point for joint discussion that allows them and encourages them to share perspectives and ideas in order to think up a better solution and better design while driving more successful sales .

Maybe even more valuable is the activity that brought out the insights and the learning process that occurred along the way , while creating their designated spaces . The visual mood board gives the Sales and Design
departments members a point for joint discussion that allows them and encourages them to share perspectives and ideas in order to think up a better solution and better design while driving more successful sales .

Challenge
I am working for a software editor , member of the gaming department and my challenge with my team is to design new mobile games that we hope that large public will like and adopt them .
For our last mobile game application , we decided to adopt the design thinking process in order to design innovative games and we will focus on trying to uncover during a first launch what our colleagues from other departments consider to be enhanced and improved with regard the first testable prototype that we developed .
Selection
As we progressed in the Design thinking process and we have a working prototype of our application , we decided to try the learning launch tool in order to test our assumptions and prototype . The learning launch will allow us to think fast and cheap by having a quick and inexpensive feedback and market - driven data . We hope that the learning launch step will allow us to quickly identify the strengths and weaknesses of our new mobile application and to prompt new ideas .
This is very important step as it will make our application resonate with live users and make the first contact with reality . Learning launch should help us to improve our first prototype by being more agile , responding quickly and doing incremental changes .
We selected 25 colleagues , equal percentage of males and females , from an age range corresponding to our target audience ( between 20 to 40 years old ) and we are going to ask them to test the first prototype for one week and submit their feedback .
Application Two main assumptions were in the scope of our first learning launch process and we were ready to test them . The first assumption we tried to test is that our new application is easy to install , and the new player can be on board quickly and easily . We asked our colleagues from other departments to download the application on their mobile phones , install it and start to play . We have asked them also to send us their
feedback via anonymous survey . We also monitored how many clicks they did before start playing the first level . We expected to have enough data to assess our assumption . For the second test we focused on having more clarity about the future of the application by testing our assumption related to how addictive is our game . Our team installed a tool that helped us to monitor how long our colleagues spent time playing the game and how many levels they unlocked . Insight
Thanks to the learning launch tool we have been able to clearly identify and test our main assumptions within few days without spending a lot of time and money . The test of the first assumption helped us to identify new ideas to simplify the onboarding of new users and make the interface more user - friendly and intuitive while the test of the second assumptions showed that once the player start to play , he became addictive to the game and was able to unlock many levels without stopping .
Moving forward , we are going to consider the findings related to the first assumption in the next prototype and plan a new future launch design . We do n’t consider this first launch as a failure as we learned a lot and this will lead us to a better product .
Approach After completing the previous steps of the design thinking process ( what is ? and what if ? And what wow ? ) and used the appropriate tools ( mind mapping , storytelling .. ) we have been able to build our first prototype and it was logical and necessary to proceed with a learning launch before officially release our game . Thanks to the learning launch we collected insightful data that we are going to review it and used for the second learning launch that should fix our first assumption and maybe generate other new ideas .

This Coursera assignment depicts the usage of Mindmapping as a tool for design thinking for a problem – AGILE Implementation Challenges
Core Challenges in
Implementing AGILE in a
Matrix Organization
Challenge –
Implementation of AGILE
practices in a Matrix
organization
Rational – Misconceptions
about AGILE are prevalent
in a traditional
organization . Employees
have different mind
blockages . This exercise
helps to understand those
and come up with a
strategy
Selection – In our highly
matrixed organization ,
with traditional IT ,
changing mindset is
difficult
Application – We did this
exercise to understand the
key concerns , like adapting
to change , availability of
business for quick POC and
so on . It was a session with
business and IT leaders
Insight – Every
participant were asked to
state the issue with AGILE
manifesto , it was mapped
to central idea .
How we Did it ? –
Assimilate the central and
tertiary ideas and map
them . Look at
correlations and concerns
and address them

WHAT IF
In this section we presented the team with a
comparison in a brainstorming session as to what
will it look like if we had new softwaresvwhich
allowed to save time and money . Also the
business did a competitive analysis of where they
are falling behind in the market and come up with
a roadmap .
WHAT WOWS
While immediate changes to softwares and
upgrades seemed a great idea along with
automation , but disrupting the business had
customer impacts leading to legal and
compliance impacts
WHAT WORKS
A systematic planned replacement / upgrade of
the softwares , with proper OCM along with a IT
and Business joint team to look at each
implementation problem will help getting the
teams on board . Also leadership level change was
desired

Submitted by Manoj Mohanan Example Reflection – Mind Mapping ( Module 3 )
Challenge
I ’m the manager of a web development team , with a challenge to re- design and improve an aging organization - employee focused portal . My stakeholder intended for a new generation employee website with direction to build on previous version . After initial study of the project using year old web analytic and survey results , it was clear that the direction provided was too narrow . I envisaged that the project needed focused discussions with diverse groups like employees , new sub- organizations and management to help define the scope , ensure identification of pain points and capture un - articulated views . So before identifying a direct solution to the problem we stepped back as we realized there was a greater opportunity at hand .
Selection
I identified ' Mind Mapping ' as the design tool that could help prepare with reliable logical decisions as a go forward strategy to co - create the opportunity to learn from the stakeholders . The reasoning being an availability of a wide variety of data from feedback surveys , personas of stakeholders , touchpoints and channels . My inspiration was Tony Buzan , who popularized the modern mind mapping term .
Application
I started the process to put everything together by capturing the static articulated views from the existing data to help my internal investigation or planned assumptions . I created a template listing down my groups
( personas ) listed in Challenge section , emotions to enlist frustration or happiness , touchpoints like organization activities of groups and channels like website , customer support mailbox or newsletters for interaction . A collaborative workshop between groups sets the perfect setting to capture the various facets of personas and experiences in a scenario . For the exercise I created groups of 5 individuals , each representing respective groups . I provided them with stickies to write comments to the different questions . Each questions in the activity focused on improving my observations from their experiences and thereby help me to build insights from their experience .
Questions focused on identified personas , capturing emotions especially pain points , generating new touchpoints and identifying channels . Next all these stickies were assembled on a board and used markers to create common themes . Each individual came forward to lead a specific theme being the subject matter expert for that theme . Next I created a mind map from my records of each group and circulated with the participants and the final agreed revised mind map represented the new insights and un - articulated views as a group .
Insight
This exercise with different stakeholders provides an opportunity to bring out the true voice in each group and articulate the results in to a visual with agreed consensus to provide meaningful insights . The mind map matched my expectations and provided a direction with a larger footprint of ideas not thought through earlier . Our survey results were hinged on the existing portal and so our thinking would have been otherwise limited to design in a specific way , but this new findings will feed in to broaden the horizons of thinking to encompass new visual directions . Next steps for the team will be to review new insights and to brainstorm resulting in improved user experience down the road .
Approach
This exercise has helped bring sub organizations under a common roof to help capture un - articulated views and the shared insights and learning and without a doubt mind map is the right tool for the task . This is a new learning and next time I would start the project using journey mapping as the starting point along with findings reflected from touchpoints and channels established and surveys . It will be interesting to see how it would work in succession as part of ' What Is ' journey .

Challenge and Selection
Mind mapping is a great tool that I use all the time as a business school student . In MBA we are given case studies and then divided into groups to arrive at consensus to solve the case study . Mind mapping really helps us as it is a great brainstorming tool for generating new ideas and exploring a problem . The visual representation of ideas , thoughts and problems also makes it easy to use and understand .
Once , we were given a business problem which stated that a company needed a new bug management system as too many product bugs were being reported back to them by their customers . At this point we had 2 options- investigate for a new bug system or explore the issue closer to find out other factors that could be resolved first .
Application
My group and I started by adding the central concept to the mind map , and then added ideas around it . To have some structure and a starting point for generating ideas , we decided to divide the problem into six categories- strategy , service , process , applications , information , and infrastructure . Around the central problem , I added six categories and then let loose on a few things that may be a contributing factor to the “ high level of reported product bugs ” problem . The ideas were written down as they were identified and in no particular order . We continued to generate ideas until all of the obvious ones are exhausted . This way the real thinking and creativity in exploring the problem could begin .
Insight and Approach
A lot of ideas were generated from a quick 20 minute session with a mind map . The new identified ideas could be used as central concepts for further analysis . For example , under the “ process ” category above , the issue identifying poor QA and release processes could be used as a central concept for further exploration . This is because maybe a new system is not required .
A review of current processes , some re - engineering , and re - configuration of the current system may shed better light on how well bugs are being managed and resolved before they are found by the customer . That way management can implement new strategies to reduce the level of report product bugs .
I really love using mind maps as they are a powerful business analysis technique for brainstorming ideas and undercovering the root cause of problems . After this course on design thinking , I started using mind maps most of the time to solve the business case studies , and I ’m really happy with how new ideas start uncovering by using this simple tool .

### Input: Example Reflection- Mind Mapping
Challenge and Selection
Mind mapping is a great tool that I use all the time as a business school student . In MBA we are given case studies and then divided into groups to arrive at consensus to solve the case study . Mind mapping really helps us as it is a great brainstorming tool for generating new ideas and exploring a problem . The visual representation of ideas , thoughts and problems also makes it easy to use and understand .
Once , we were given a business problem which stated that a company needed a new bug management system as too many product bugs were being reported back to them by their customers .

How Mind Mapping as a tool can improve Critical Thinking skill in Secondary Students ?
Challenge In my 20 years of teaching learning career , I found my biggest challenge in guiding
students to improve their critical thinking Skills . Understanding the specific demands of
the questions and drafting answers accordingly in other than native language is like a
walking on a thin rope . When the answers need a balanced approach , relevant effective
arguments using appropriate vocabulary and concepts the task in real become boring
and tiring . Developing balanced thinking approach is difficult for the students belongs to
non - english speaking students due to poor reading writing habits . Above all , the practice
of the exam centred education system encourages the students to memorise instead of
developing thinking skills . Student also face problem in aligning arguments effectively due
to missing culture of focus on multidimensional studies . They face challenge in
deciphering supporting or counter arguments in accordance to the question ’s
requirement . Writing essays using subject specific vocabulary and concepts is non
existent in such an environment due to weak vocabulary . It a challenge for the teacher to
promote critical thinking skills which can prepare young mind for the VUCA world . 1
Keeping all these challenges in mind , future generation need to be nurtured today in the
most effective manner using different techniques like visualisation , story telling , mind map
and learning launch .
Selection Out of above mentioned four techniques , I found mind map approach more promising than to
others . Mind map technique allows students to get involve in the process of assimilation of
multidimensional knowledge , helps to prepare a roadmap to present the concepts , ideas the
arguments in coherence . It categories the answer in accordance to the specific requirement of the
questions based on command terms like discuss and evaluate . It allow student to work in groups
and to promote their views in specific patterns . Excellent students can use visualisation , story
telling or learning launch but mind map is a ray of hope with below average and moderate
students . During testing of this technique , I found many student group applied the visualisations
techniques to mind map sheets and have been successful in presenting their ideas in appealing
manner .
VUCA stands for the volatility , uncertainty , complexity and ambiguity , a term first used by Bennis 1 and Nanus in leadership theory in 1987 .
Application
Initially , I divides young learner in the groups consisting student with differentiated learning
capabilities which provides conducive environment of auditory , visual and kinaesthetic learners .
Student groups are challenged to work on the real - world issues . They are tasked to find an
appropriate strategy or solution to the specific problems . Using mind map student are
encouraged to brainstorm the various argument . Groups are allowed to work specifically designed
mind map . I have notices the students were able to understand the specific requirement the
questions due the their practice on the specifically designed worksheet based on mind map
techniques . Increase in average score for the critically thinking question validate the importance of
practicing using mind map techniques . Some of the problems identified by the students for critical
thinking are like : Effective method to provide food packets to the Cov19 houses in the society .
Effective protective measure for taxi drivers and autorikshow drivers in Cov19 areas .
Insight
Mindmap technique helps the student cohorts to identify the real - world issues and allow them to
brainstorm the solutions . This technique makes discussion more focused easy to compile the
arguments effectively . It also allow each member of the group to participate effectively . I applied
this technique to student of secondary and senior secondary students and found encouraging
results in term of improvement in creative thinking . It improve the level of self motivation to
empathise the problems faced by the society . This technique helped to improve the level
coordination among the students which is very important to prepare the prototype and testing the
hypothesis regarding the product .
Approach
Mindmap techniques is very helpful in preparing blue print and in most collaborative manner . On
the other hand story telling and visualisation process can help improve the independent self
learning by making them more empathetic to the real world issues . I would like to use the
technique that could combine the visualisation and story telling in order to prepare student for
developed independent self learning .

We are currently working on the first prove of concept on a new drug delivery system against a specific cancer type . Already in this early phase of development , we are dependent on financial support as BioTech require a lot of resources from a financial and people point of view . A huge challenge is to bring business angles , private equity investors or venture capitalists on board at this very early stage of high risk . How to convince them to support such innovation although “ everything ” remains unclear at the beginning of this journey ( Piero Vicari ; module 1 ) ? In a pitch the biggest challenge is the limited time window ( 5 - 7 minutes ) for convincing the right investors . Hence a short , simple and compelling story has to attract them to invest into you and the team . Selection : I was choosing the Storytelling tool to address our challenge . According to Elroy Ford ’s analysis ( Global Leadership Development Director @ Mars ; Module 2 ) most business leaders are bored 90 % of the conversation . But he showed a great way to change that . In order to draw their attention towards the prime goal of inspiring them ! In my view a very good example of storytelling is how Apple managers sell their new creations during Apple ’s Keynotes . They are able to connect emotions , characters and values of people that live that product every day ( see following video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQSdE32O5KE ) . They do n’t only present a list of things but rather a connection of emotions and actions of what people can do with their products . Storytelling encompasses logics , emotional connection and a larger purpose . That ’s why “ The- Storytelling - Tool ” is the ideal instrument to sell innovation in pitch and get the right people inspired . Application : First of all we started to put ourselves into the shoes of the investors and we analysed audience . What is the background and what is the expertise of the individuals . It was clear at the beginning that we need to simplify our scientific story in a way that everybody in the room understands what we intent to achieve without losing the connection to a few hard scientific and financial facts . We wanted to create emotions at the very beginning of the story . Over the course of the presentation we targeted to create an arc of suspense by always referring back the initial feelings . By telling a compelling story based on a logical path of how to realise our invention , my goal was to visualise the bigger picture in a way that dry financial data come across juicy . Investors want to understand the larger purpose . They want to know why they should invest into a creative team knowing the high risk level . That ’s a good way to inspire them to engage themselves personally by supporting “ their ” winning team . Insight : Appling the Storytelling Tool from the “ Design Thinking for Innovation ” training was very inspirational . The feedback rate from the audience was much better than we actually anticipated . Nevertheless I realised that we have to do better next time . Creating emotions is very important but the most powerful part of my message should have been selling the larger purpose . More preparation time beforehand is needed . Explaining in a few sentences that the challenge ( how to treat the disease successfully ) can effectively be solved at the end and an investment seem to be logical .
One key approach to reduce the high risk of large investments would have been “ prototyping ” . I need to spend more time on explaining what will happen in the “ Wow - Phase ” and why a money in the beginning is needed to create prototypes for first tests before the pretended end solution is developed ( fail fast , fail cheap ) . That ’s an important element of the story . The “ Design Thinking for Innovation ” course opened my eyes towards successful innovation management . It connects emotions with characters and as a consequence it creates a cause . In order to tell a good story I also realised that most elements of the Design Thinking process can be unified in the Storytelling Tool . Hence the story gets tangible and the audience starts to believe in you . Approach : Definitively I will use the Storytelling Tool again for the same purpose because it effectively addresses the purpose of business leaders to be inspired . But I need to sharpen my skills by practicing it as often as possible . Not only for pitches but also to sell an idea or products in general . I also learnt once again that the preparation time is crucial and always takes a longer time as planned . The more research and analysis you do on the audience and specific elements of your story , the easier it gets to create a compelling story that people consequently will believe in you .

Challenge
I 'm working in IT center of a large financial organization . Our challenge is to increase the workflow efficiency of inspecting banking cheques manually by our bankers . In the same time we have to ensure that we keep high level of accuracy and to keep the confidential of the data
My team wanted to test and collect data on two different ideas that we had . We decided use the learning launch tool on the two different ideas to experiment the feasibility and the accuracy of the solutions and to compare them to the conventional way in short time .
Selection
In the past , my team tried to implement some new method and ideas . We spent a lot of time and eventually they lead us to decrease in the accuracy . So now we decided to try the learning launch tool to quickly test a new ideas .
Application
For our first learning launch , we used out of the box ICR tool ( optical handwrite character recognition ) to decode the sum and the date from the cheques images on our internal net .
For our second learning launch , we used innovative collaboration method with Unicamp . In this method we derived the relevant text area from the cheuqus images and send the only the relevant text image to Unicamp . Unicamp has an application that send the text images to people on the internet to decode the text . Every text is decoding by 2 different people . In few minutes we get back the decoded data and we marge it in our process .
We decoded the same 1,000 cheuqus in the two learning launch and comperd the decoded data to the manually inspection of the same cheuqus by our bankers .
Insight
By applying the Learning Launch tool we achieved in a very short time and minimum effort a very good evaluation of the different solutions camper to our conventional way .
We found out that the best method for us is the collaboration with Unicamp . According to the data that we collected in the learning launch it was the most efficient and accuracy method .
Approach
After this experience , I can tell that using the Learning Launch tool was a very good decision , we have learned that the key to success is an entrepreneurial mindset of action and not analysis , speed and not long study times , and testing of new ideas as soon as possible .

I am a student of the Administration career , I studied Advertising in which my teacher asked us to carry out an advertising campaign . My team consisted of 10 members and we had to come up with a creative idea for the Aurecon brand campaign . We conducted an investigation of the history of the brand , as well as the market it was aimed at and the advertising it handled at that time . We had to choose between the tools and options to generate an advertising campaign that we were taught on the subject and apply them creatively , it was at that moment that we were challenged since we could not find the creative idea on which to base our campaign .
- Selection
We needed creativity for our work so we decided to use the visualization tool because it would allow the team members to speak non - verbally , creatively and express our thoughts through drawings , colors , symbols and images that could clarify the others the ideas that each one had for the project and each one had a different idea for the realization of the campaign that also included posters , TV commercials , radio commercials , etc .
- Application
Each member was asked for a sketch of her campaign idea and presented the next day . Some presented videos , other posters , also photographs and drawings , each member let their imagination explode , and by visualizing all the ideas we were able to have a clearer idea of what others were thinking , in this way we began to complement each idea and created a campaign creative .
- Insight
At the beginning the team met and we used the usual technique to generalize an idea , which is to speak and enter into debate , but it did not work since no point was reached because we did not understand the ideas that others had regarding the campaign . so we opted for the visualization tool so that we could see those creative ideas that each of us had . The design thinking in this case allowed us to integrate and get to know each other as a team taking into account all the ideas that had been generated thanks to the tool , achieving the main objective that was creativity .
- Approach
Next time I would like to apply the metal mapping tool with a school team since in this way we could also share our ideas and find an innovative idea for a project together and in less time .

### Input: - Challenge
I am a student of the Administration career , I studied Advertising in which my teacher asked us to carry out an advertising campaign . My team consisted of 10 members and we had to come up with a creative idea for the Aurecon brand campaign . We conducted an investigation of the history of the brand , as well as the market it was aimed at and the advertising it handled at that time . We had to choose between the tools and options to generate an advertising campaign that we were taught on the subject and apply them creatively , it was at that moment that we were challenged since we could not find the creative idea on which to base our campaign .
- Selection
We needed creativity for our work so we decided to use the visualization tool because it would allow the team members to speak non - verbally , creatively and express our thoughts through drawings , colors , symbols and images that could clarify the others the ideas that each one had for the project and each one had a different idea for the realization of the campaign that also included posters , TV commercials , radio commercials , etc .
- Application
Each member was asked for a sketch of her campaign idea and presented the next day . Some presented videos , other posters , also photographs and drawings , each member let their imagination explode , and by visualizing all the ideas we were able to have a clearer idea of what others were thinking , in this way we began to complement each idea and created a campaign creative .

In the last 3 years , there has been an increasing focus on building an end - to - end design and programme / platform capability in India . This has led to a continuous increase in business expectations from the Indian captive center to deliver more for less . Due to cost pressures at the organization level , there is a need to improve the overall cost of delivery and make the unit more efficient . It was a tough challenge as all the resources were gainfully deployed and delivering to the expected time , cost and quality parameters . On some occasions , they were even stretching to meet the increased business demands . The challenge is to assess the operational efficiencies and suggest ways to reduce the cost of delivery by cutting slack and innovative thinking . Selection To understand the current state , we collected data from 41 representative projects on about 30 + cost / operating KPIs , surveyed ~325 respondents across India and other locations and interviewed ~25 of them for more in- depth discussions . This was aimed at collecting data on key financial & operational metrics namely , fully loaded man day rate , span of control , utilization etc . , and maturity of operating practices , such as , requirement gathering , resource planning , supplier engagement , to name a few . We also collected the industry data for similar captives in India to benchmark the efficiency of our unit against these captives . With the huge amount of data collected during the exploration phase , there was a need to cleanse this data into information & insights , which can lead to generating of creative ideas . I had two options , either to use mind mapping tool here because that is what mind mapping tool does well or traditional way of sharing the outcomes & recommendations for discussions / idea generation . I proposed data mapping tool because it engages & aligns stakeholders in understanding the current design challenge & creative idea generation . Application I invited key stakeholders ( ~25 ) for a half - day session for creative ideation . I also requested them to be acquainted with the challenge & data beforehand . Boardroom ( tables laid - out with 5 chairs ) was booked with enough sticky notes , bold markers and clipboards . Since we had lot of information to share in a limited time , I proposed to create visual representation of data as it stimulates individual ’s brain in a faster and more understandable way than textual information . There is no better way to share visual information than the art - gallery style . With art gallery approach in mind , all the data collected ( direct & Indirect cost , organization design , interview outcomes , supplier mix , software development life cycle operating
procedures and utilization ) was put up on the walls . I shared the data collection methodology with stakeholders and took them though the displayed content . I allowed them to spend 20 minutes to browse through the visual representations and requested them to make a note of what fits - in , what does n’t and any representation / data item which they believe might give them good ideas . Next step , they were asked to return to the table to review their own sticky notes and group them into themed clusters on their clipboard . Thereafter , the sharing started in group in terms of various themes and underlying improvement ideas ( sticky notes ) related to that theme . These were all placed on different walls in the boardroom including the outliers . Largely the themes were Project Delivery & Customer Interactions , Spans & Layers , Cost optimization , Supplier efficiency and automation . Then , we started creating insight statements based on their observations . In order to make it more meaningful , I kept asking “ So what ? ” multiple times to ensure that the initial ideas were probed further and deeper insights were brought through . Insight By applying mind mapping tool , we came out with some hidden opportunities to enhance efficiencies and reduce costs . These were , 1 ) We identified many redundant / overlapping roles across geographies , for example , there were more than one Project Managers for the same project across geographies to provide locational oversight , which is an inefficient model as this was not keeping them fully occupied . 2 ) Fragmented supplier base with no accountability i.e. only resource augmentation was being achieved from suppliers , overhead cost of managing the outcome was still with us despite paying the suppliers . Further deep dive gave us additional unarticulated insights like inefficient organization model leading to reduced accountability , low motivation and engagement level of the staff . With fragmented supplier base , they were not willing to invest in / offer better price because they did not see our work as a big account . Approach All the stakeholders appreciated the effort and the time spent and found it a highly engaging , intuitive and creative process . They also suggested using Mind Mapping tool for future idea - generation workshops rather than traditional ways of analyzing the data and proposing multiple solutions . They really enjoyed the learning process , found it very fast & can be easily adapt to wide variety of tasks . We followed through these ideas & insights and initiated few strategic initiatives to overcome inefficiencies & cost challenges by way of supplier consolidation programme , efficient & cost effective global operating model etc . These initiatives have the potential to save GBP 1 million in the next 2 years for the unit .

Challenge I am creating a company with 9 engineers friends . I am organizing a way in which each one can perform the position that best suits their abilities . We need to develop this exercise effectively as it will be the foundation of our company . Our company will be a company that will provide an online video game platform in which we will create different low - budget games ( initially ) and we want to attract the largest amount of public . Selection In the past we have already tried to carry out this project using design thinking tools in a certain way . Therefore , we will now use the learning launch tool . This tool consists of conducting an experiment designed to quickly test an idea and a prototype . Application The first thing I did was email each one of them with a survey that they believed , asking them about the things they prefer to do . With this information I assigned temporary test roles to see how we would fare if we were guided only by our tastes . After a week , I was able to observe that 4 of my 9 friends were not being fully effective , therefore this propotype had partially failed . So I continued to talk with each of those 4 in person and asked them what was the reason for their lack of effectiveness , 3 of them answered that due to lack of time and 1 because they had realized that it is not the same to do something for Hobbie that for work and decided to withdraw from the project . What I did with the 3 was quickly ask them to send me their schedules . I found that they tended to procrastinate too much so I implemented the idea of working towards goals and rewards . A week later , the effectiveness of these 3 increased considerably . Insight I concluded then that thanks to the application of this tool that I learned during the course , I was able to solve the inefficiency problems that I had in my group . In the future , when we have problems , I will not hesitate to apply the knowledge that I have acquired during this course , I will also recommend my friends to learn it as well since all of us will be able to contribute different ideas to solve the various problems that come to our way . Approach From now on , our team will advance on the road to success thanks to design thinking , we know that each of these experiences will be of great help to us for future challenges , so we will save these experiences , ideas and prototypes as a database in the one that we will support each other to have a better chance of finding solutions quickly .

Challenge and Selection
As part of a Corporate Service Responsibility Program at IBM , I was working with a team of 10 Global IBMer ’s in Indonesia . We were assigned to help Computer Science students from a State University in West Java . Our Task was to help the startup Student Community with Product Development including Lean UX & Concept Development . One our greatest challenges with the students was communication in English . The students were not conversant with English and thus we had an uphill task to complete our time - boxed workshops . Mind Mapping was a natural selection that evolved in our Internal team discussions . We loaded ourselves with Flip - Charts , Post - its , Markers , Flash Cards for Behavior / Strategy Game to apply this technique to all our workshops .
Application
We planned for a design thinking workshop to enable radical collaboration amongst students to ensure they co - create great user experience for their products . We identified 20 Students already in advanced stages of planning their startups to participate in the Design Thinking Workshop . We provided them templates for Stakeholder Map , Empathy Map and Scenario Map .
The Stakeholder map organized people ’s expectation of a project . We asked the teams to Identify people internally and externally who have a stake in the outcome of the project . Post them to a wall , using two sticky notes per person . On the first , draw the person ’s face and note his or her name and role . On the second , write a quote expressing the stakeholder ’s thoughts , opinions , or expectations . Arrange the stakeholders on the wall based on dimensions such as organizational relationship or sentiment .
We then switched over the Empathy Map . We started by Drawing three intersecting lines , and illustrate the face of the persona in the middle . Fill in with writing or sticky notes : what the user thinks ( expectations and reactions ) , sees ( environment and interface ) , says ( quotes ) , does ( actions ) , feels ( values ) , and hears ( instructions or feedback ) during the experience . At the bottom , list pains ( frustrations and obstacles ) and gains ( goals and strategies ) .
The next step was to create a Scenario / Experience map of a Representative User – We had the students post a row of sticky notes on a wall representing the steps of a user ’s as - is workflow . Beneath each step , create a column of color - coded sticky notes representing questions and comments relating to that step . For comments , consider the dimensions of the Empathy Map at each step , as well as technologies and context . Once questions are answered , post comments over them .
With empathy maps and scenarios in sight , students posted sticky notes identifying prominent pain points . Use a second sticky note color to identify opportunities for the design . Each pain point should have a corresponding opportunity , though some opportunities might not relate to pain points — for example those that respond to market trends or anticipate future pain points .
Insight & Approach
There was tremendous value in using Mind Mapping Hands - on with the students as we could deeply engage the students through the entire process . The Stakeholder map was a way to organize people ’s expectation , the empathy map- was a quick and dirty representation of the user and the scenario map -
was about the experience a user has over time for discrete flow of their product . Hence Visualization of the Mind Mapping was much more impactful as there as sense of co - creation through shared experience . By seeing things laid out in different colored sticky notes , the students could quickly re- organize themselves . There was also greater sense of empathy with the user as the students were simulating the user experience scenario by scenario enabling them to quickly identify the pain points and the relevant opportunities for improvement

Challenge & Selection
The storytelling tool is used to bring connections with an idea , through stories told in a relevant and pertinent way . Using visuals and a story that captures the interlocutor 's attention , it is possible to engage listeners and achieve a good result . Thus , it is possible to promote an idea , service or product to a specific customer without necessarily having a direct sale . Through storytelling , a more personal and engaging relationship with the listener is strengthened .
Application
A good storytelling should contain a story that connects to emotions , characters q to people 's values , involving a greater purpose . A good story should create a cause , rather than just solve a problem .
The first important thing to do to create a good story is to get to know your audience , because a good story is designed for your audience . Knowing their beliefs , their values , their habits , their culture , etc . understanding where they come from and what they need , are fundamental for the story to make sense and reach the listener in the best way .
The second fundamental thing in creating a good story is to create a clear sequence of events , from beginning to end . Finally , it is important to have moments of reflection on history , questions that intrigue , generate suspense , so that the storyteller can create questions and give answers . Creating questions and not answering them can leave listeners confused and leave without a clear vision or an assertive conclusion of the past message .
Insight & Approach
What I learned from this practice is that the audience must in fact be the main focus in the elaboration of storytelling . I observed cases in which a story was not elaborated based on its audience and this generated great disagreements , from the public 's lack of understanding to elaborate phrases or jokes that were not well received or understood by the audience .
As I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the public , I would use an approach known as " The Hero 's Journey " , consisting of 7 steps : Introduction , Conflict , The refusal of the call , The necessary help , The overcoming , The great turning point and Conclusion of the plot . With that , I would try to reach the public in every story told .

A good storytelling should contain a story that connects to emotions , characters q to people 's values , involving a greater purpose . A good story should create a cause , rather than just solve a problem .
The first important thing to do to create a good story is to get to know your audience , because a good story is designed for your audience . Knowing their beliefs , their values , their habits , their culture , etc . understanding where they come from and what they need , are fundamental for the story to make sense and reach the listener in the best way .
The second fundamental thing in creating a good story is to create a clear sequence of events , from beginning to end . Finally , it is important to have moments of reflection on history , questions that intrigue , generate suspense , so that the storyteller can create questions and give answers . Creating questions and not answering them can leave listeners confused and leave without a clear vision or an assertive conclusion of the past message .
Insight & Approach
What I learned from this practice is that the audience must in fact be the main focus in the elaboration of storytelling . I observed cases in which a story was not elaborated based on its audience and this generated great disagreements , from the public 's lack of understanding to elaborate phrases or jokes that were not well received or understood by the audience .
As I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the public , I would use an approach known as " The Hero 's Journey " , consisting of 7 steps : Introduction , Conflict , The refusal of the call , The necessary help , The overcoming , The great turning point and Conclusion of the plot . With that , I would try to reach the public in every story told .

Challenge & Selection
As I am a local market dealer in my locality , I used visual thinking to understand my customers of diverse mentalities . I changed my approach , rather than using massive marketing strategies , I applied design thinking to achieve my goal . I found my scope and boundaries of my market and I also came to know about my opportunities for improvements .
Application
At first , I started analyzing my own merits and demerits . I also have considered my weak points in my business . Then I came to know that my business was ok and not up to the mark . I decided to bring a change , then visual thinking hit my mind . I started thinking as my customers . When I took their place and think , I felt like home deliveries would be more helpful . The idea of home delivery was good but can I manage it ? Then again visual thinking helped me to manage . I started sharing my ideas with my staff , they loved the idea and they were as exciting as me . We started implementing the idea of home deliveries . Everything was going well the customers were pretty satisfied . But after some days another problem came into light that the home deliveries how become a normal thing . Everyone was doing that and now again I have to start my visual thinking to have a better approach towards my customers and my goal to be a better dealer . Visual thinking again helping me , this time I thought of giving discounts on every home delivery . My customers are loving that . Even though I face some ups and downs , changing viewpoint and visualization always helps me gets out of every problematic situation .
Insight and approach
I have learned to deal with every approach to achieve my goal and to grasp every opportunity to bring improvements , to use design thinking to innovate the things . And I also learnt how to not to be outdated from the market needs and customer needs . Rather than spending tons of money on marketing , I spent my time on bringing innovation around me . The idea of visualization always helped me to get a better viewpoint of every approach which always gives me the preview of pros and cons of every innovative step I take . 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 .

Challenge and Selection
The tool I selected is visualization since my job involves explaining concepts to
customers .Customers were not understanding and retaining information as much as it was needed .A visit to a customer to verbally present the business idea was proving challenging since most customers would forget in a day or two what we had explained .We decided to come up with a way of explaining to customers and aimed to capture their attention for a short time and ensure they retain information to make the process of call back for feedback easier .Initially when we called customers and introduced ourselves and the company they could not recall leading to have to do the presentation all over again which was time consuming .
Visualization is representation of information using mental images and pictures .It would
be good tool to use since it gives the customer a clear visual image .The customer can easily understand the data and create an image which is more likely easy to remember .The customer can also processes large amounts of data in a simply and fast way .Customers are also engaged and can in turn ask questions back to ensure customer satisfaction and high interest in the product .
Application
We as team decided to do illustrations to customers as we jot down on a note book they
can see from where they are standing .We noted as soon as we started jotting down on the note books the customer would immediately look at what we are writing .We were also able to see instances where the customer had questions or are still on course and paying attention .Such instances can be a sign on when to stop and let the customer ask the question or carry on with the presentation .We also decided to supplementing it with pamphlets with different features of the product .This was handed to the customer after the presentation to look through it during their free time .It was noted customers were engaging us with questions unlike before .The call back process would also take a shorter period since they would remember the company ’s name .
The team was also provided with PowerPoints presentations that was to be mailed to
customers .They were brief presentations with pictures on how to use the product step by step .They gave brief explanations on the different features and advantages of the product .For customers with limited time we would encourage them to share their email to mail the presentations to them and later engage them through their emails .Customers would go through the presentation and mail any questions which we would easily respond to them .
Insight and Approach
This tool was very useful and solved our initial communication problem .The customers
being of a different level of education as the staff had brought about the challenge in communication .However the solution was as simple as engaging the customer using diagram and images to enhance understanding .Visualization simplified our work since customers retained the information long enough for us to do a follow up which save employees a lot of time .Customers have also shown increased interest in the product since they find it relatable to them .
Alternatively the company is looking into using story - telling to convey messages to the
customers .Since the organization is an Social economic empowerment platform they can get one of the users to tell their story how the product changed their lives .This would invoke an emotional response to users which is also a good way to prove that we are there to serve and better their lives .

Challenge :
Once a fraudster divorced me for $ 100 because I doubted my English . Today I will tell a story and tell you how to prepare my English to travel without hassles .
My scam story began suddenly . In Malaysia , car parking is about 5 floors of the whole apartment building , the parking place is always dark , but it ’s long ago possible to discern what is happening around . On the 4th floor inside the parking lot , I tried to go downstairs , got into a car , turned on the lights everything as it should , drove out . As soon as I approached a bend that would allow me to go down to the floor below , another car suddenly popped up . I was frightened to quickly stop , but despite this we all collided . I did not see the car as its headlights were turned off .
In a hurry , I got out of the car , and began to clarify . He began to run over that I was to blame , but in fact he was to blame because he had his headlights turned off . I could not say everything that I thought in my own language , since it is Malaysia that nobody knows the Russian language there . But in English , I could not tell because my English was not at a high level . and I did n’t know what to do in this case . To stop an unwanted conversation , you need a few words .
The man began to demand $ 100 as compensation that his car was scratched due to my mistake . That it 's all my fault
Application :
Use not after the verbs to be , to do , or to have to put them in negative form ( do not = do n’t , has no = has n’t , etc . ) .
If the sentence does not have these verbs , you need to insert the verb to do . The whole sentence will change a little : now the auxiliary verb will change according to time , and the semantic verb will become an infinitive ( I thought → I did n’t think ) . Ex : I ’m afraid I do n’t like this conversation . I ’d better get going .
Insight :
Put it before the noun to deny it . This noun will not need the article ( I have a cat . → I have no cat ) . Such denial sounds more categorical . It will be useful to us . Ex : Sorry , I have no cash .
If your interlocutor does not speak English well ( for example , in Asian countries ) or does not understand you , the best word is NO . Just NO . Or like this : Ex : Sorry , no .
Approach :
I was ashamed to leave and handed the stranger twenty dollars . Then she herself did n’t notice how he had asked for more money . It was lucky that after 100 dollars I
had only large bills . They felt sorry for them . My sister was standing next to me , but she did not intervene because she had a poor understanding of what was happening .
Of course , the men were guilty , and this was evident at first sight . But the fraudster pressed on , did not stop talking , and I was too confused .
Conclusion :
To be more confident , prepare your English for the journey . Learn on a personal plan . It contains phrases that are definitely useful , analysis of situations , interactive exercises , tips on how to get to know the locals , and much more .

Challenge :
I work as an R&D Project manager in a company that develops products for Food and Beverage
industry . In order to ensure that after the new product I develop is introduced to a market , the company could make a revenue that initially was planned at the project kick - off and further stages . And the difficulties could appear not because of the product itself does not meet customer ’s expectations , but because it is wrongly positioned on the market . In order to position it properly it should be properly tested , so the properties that specific kind of customers ( e.g. brewer or winemaker ) require could be included into the test report . As the product was still in early development stage , our product ’s customer was the sales team because if R&D could n’t sell the product to sales it could n’t also sell it to the customer as the sales will be reluctant to offer customer the product which they are still not sure of .
Selection :
In order to prove that the developed product is really what the market needs , was decided to use the
Learning Launch tool and to conduct the launch by introducing the product under development like selling the existing one , so that the sales team members could check if the product has all the properties which our customers require
Application and insight :
For conducting the Learning Launch several sales team members from different business areas
( selling to different product producers , beer or wine ) and different sales regions were invited . The Learning Launch took place as a two days event when the sales team , representing different types of customers from different regions formulated the image of the potential customer from their region / business area , his needs , concerns , key sales drivers and limitation .
In the event two typical customer images , one for brewer and one for winemaker were formulated .
The images included what are the main customer ’s concerts , which product properties and claims are cruicial for them , which ones are nice to have and which claims are complete no - goes for the specific market . The most valuable outcome from the event and the first thing we learned was that we ca n’t position the same product in different markets under the same brand as the product claims for one market are definetly no - go for the other market . That had nothing to do with the product properties itself , but with how the product is being tested for the different applications . And the different application require different scope of testing and some tests , which are valuable for the brewer are completely inappropriate for the winemakers .
As the result of the two - days event we ended up with finding a show stopper - claim , which would
definetly ruine all the sales plans in one of the markets if the product were introduced with this claim . We also formulated a scope of tests , which should result in a list of claims for each market segment and identified the potential customers for the field test of out product , which should create confidence in product for sales and end customer when they offer this new product .
By applying the tool I learned that although we were still developing one product , from one side , the
scope of tests for the product which should be carried on in order to verify the products design should be significantly extended and alghouth it will take more time to prepare a real launch , it gave us additional degree of confidence in our product and help to mitigate a serious risk which could have affected a big part of our company ’s sales plans . The experience I gained during that Learning Launch event convinced me that instead of introducing the one product to the whole F&B market we will need to launch two different brands - each for one segment and through that insure our future sales .
Approach :
As we conducted learning launch I felt that we could have gained even more of that , than we got if I
ensured that instead of two sales for each market I involved at least three or four of them , especially from various sales regions . That could have helped us to reveal region specific requirements , which could also push sales and product development as well in the future .
Besides that next events for the other R&D projects should be conducted even earlier , shortly after the
project kick off , that could help us avoid excessive work and to concentrate on what does really matter for our customer .

Trainers had to scroll down to check what they would be doing on a specific day . It was also very time consuming to create this schedule and assign trainers to specific sessions . As we started having larger cohorts, we decided to split the trainees into two groups. That meant that, two similar sessions would happen at the same time. We had to have 2 parallel schedules making it difficult to confirm whether trainers training on the same topic, were at par with each other. All this brought about a lot of stress and confusion. We had to come up with an approach that could make it easier to quickly tell one’s schedule faster, and tell who they could consult if having a shared session . We settled on the visualization tool. This tool isn’t just about drawing, but use of color or symbols or photos to articulate thoughts as mentioned in the visualization tool video (Week 1 ) . The idea that this tool could help people align their thoughts and share their perspectives sounded interesting and worth pursuing. We needed a way to effectively identify challenges in our schedule and find a way have everyone on the same page . Application We used a flip chart which had week 1 to 4 on a horizontal plane written with a marker and the trainers’ names on the vertical plane. The other sets of sticky notes which were alongside each trainer for each week, would specify what that trainer would be engaged in on a specific day . I got feedback that it was still challenging to quickly tell what session or activity was happening at a certain day. This was difficult since activities would vary sometimes for the trainers for example, one trainer could be carrying out interview assessments while another could be delivering training . Insight & Approach I am amazed at how effective this approach is . I have less emails and conversations from trainers asking me what they will be doing on a specific day. Each trainer is able to plan their schedule for the month more easily. They are able to note if the workload is overwhelming and I can make appropriate changes. Furthermore, they can easily spot the other trainer delivering a similar session and plan to meet then to go over the session. They can also step in for each other if one is not around after checking what everyone is up to and who is free .
I thought of introducing a small change to the tool. Under the weeks, I introduced sticky notes detailing the whole schedule broken down into days. It helped trainers identify faster the activities for the day and quickly check what all the other trainers would be doing . Trainers were able to identify that the first two weeks were very intense compared to the last week. This sparked a conversation on how we could achieve a balance to keep trainees engaged the whole time . The course convinced me on the value of making things visual. I have seen the drastic change of applying visualization in my organization. Since this tool is offline, we will have to think of solutions for remote access to the information in a visual format .

Challenge & Selection :
Visualization is the tool which is the first one i use to get the insights and thoughts from my
stakeholders and cross functional team for any new document . I use this technique of using a
draft document before finalizing the document . The draft document is shared to different CFT
to get the all the comments , corrections and betterments if any in that particular document .
Application :
I start the drafting a new document by covering all the contents required to develop any system .
I ensure that all the sections required as the standard requirements like Purpose , Scope ,
Responsibility , Procedure , Attachments and Reference , etc . I go through the related existing
procedures , guidance documents and guidelines which can help me to derive the good
procedure for any new system implementation . Also go for personal interview and discussion
to get the insights and requirements of the persons who are really involved in the execution of
the system .
While preparing the document i will use standard template to cover all the section which are
required for system development . I will use flow charts to give clear understanding on the new
procedure . It will give clear visual identification on the procedure and easily understand able
to the followers .
Before finalizing the procedure , i give questions such as : 1 ) what key elements are missing in
the document ? 2 ) What would you change in the document to make it accurate as per the
system ? I will give sufficient time to the CFT to review and give the details inputs related to
the system procedure . I will collect the all the comments and betterment recommendations from
all CFT and compile the same on single paper & correct all the comments in the document to
get the final document .
Insights & Approach :
From the above exercise what I learnt is that interacting with different CFT for preparing the
document for system development given me a clear understanding on what are the key points
need to be covered in the document and how to prepare the better procedural document .
As i understood that the most useful tool for shared success is Design thinking . Henceforth I
will use this tool- Visualization as a basic tool before writing any document .

In my current role , I lead discussions with both technical and non - technical stakeholders from both my employer and our customers , which are usually European banks and utilities ( mainly electrical infraestructure providers ) . I find the tool of storytelling very useful to make business stakeholders relate to technical proposals and problems , and also to help technical teams understand non - technical requirements . This way , by delimiting the context of the problem and hinting at possible technical solutions , I use storytelling as the key part of the transition from business requirements to technical specifications
Application I start the process by empathizing with our customer ’s subject matter experts : after actively listening to them , I create a story summarizing how I understood the business problem . This way , the stakeholders participate in the drafting of the context of the project . After refining with them , the story is transmitted to the technical teams so we can elaborate the technical specifications .
Insight The main insight I got by applying this tool was that contextualized stories are a better way to understand problems than simply handing out or writing specific requests . Although it might seem slower at first , using Storytelling we are able to reduce the number of meetings needed for a complete gathering of requirements or specifications .
Approach Depending on the client , I might use this same tool the same way , or try combining it with Visual Thinking so as to immprove the shared understanding of the problem , its context and implications .

Challenge :
I am responsible for creating a website focused on content development that
transmits experiences to potential tourists looking for information about the city of
Foz do Iguaçu ( which is on the border between Brazil , Argentina and Paraguay ) . The
site has access from all over the world and tries to deliver educational content about
tourist options with over 10 years of existence . The biggest challenge today is
maintaining the quality of content by creating new texts that deliver value to tourists
that can be produced and updated constantly with a small writing team .
Selection :
The main tool that could assist in the development of this content ideation activity
would be MindMap , through which it would be possible to map large amount of
ideas .
Application :
Building an individual MindMap will be the first activity , each involved in the content
ideation team will be responsible for structuring a diagram of interrelated ideas
through their insight into the content opportunities that can be created . With this we
enable each one to express their value proposition about the content to be produced .
Second , individual mindmaps should be converged into a single mindmap that will be
used throughout the site , generating unity in both the progression and the content to
be prioritized . The idea is to provide the maximum extent of content ideas , out of
" easy " or " common " , so that the content created generates new experiences for
potential tourists .
In a third moment , we would like to organize a “ collective brainstorming ” providing an
interactive tool for potential readers to participate in a collective mindmap that will be
analyzed as a way to obtain validation of the mindmap created by the team . This
map will be enlarged by anyone using a 1 - month online tool .
Insights :
The application of such tools will allow us the extensive visualization of ideas and the
connection between different contents in order for the expansion of possibilities .
Approach :
The approach used will have as objective the constitution of interrelated mindmaps ,
that is , each one constitutes part of the generated knowledge . Thus we will have the
expansion of design possibilities through the application of a single tool . Among the
3 suggested mindmaps , the collective mindmap is one that should have a major
impact on idea priority setting .

According to David Kelley , the founder of IDEO said , when I 'm trying to do something creative , I make a mind - map . Nowadays , without creativity you are nothing . So both in personal and social life that wants to be able to come up with a bright look and to solve problems , are immense . However , the burden of our lifestyles and educational approaches often push our natural creative abilities into the background . Our plan is to reawaken the creativity in students and develop it in a sensible way that suits them . Students will then leave their schools with a new enthusiasm for using creativity and sensible techniques to help them to be more innovative in future . These techniques can be used in a wide range of situations from inventing new products or processes to enhancing problem - solving and life - long learning . Through mind mapping we will teach them , in such a way that not only allows them WHAT to think but also HOW to think as well .
Application
Through this mind mapping tool , Students will use basic thinking tools and develop skills in their use by practicing them on the nature of problems that they may encounter in real life . Students will then be capable to apply the tools to scenarios that they may face in their studies or even at home or in the community as well .This mind mapping module assist a systematic approach to the development of thinking skills . In other words , it brings students through a step - by - step process , starting with the introduction of thinking tools and then systematically considering various thinking situations .
Insight
By applying this mind mapping tool , students will be able to apply creative thinking tools and techniques to coursework , study , revision and examination . Our team identified assumptions and designed mind mapping to test our assumption . Due to this , we would improve our aim / workflow . So that students integrate the use of whole - brain skills via design process . They use specific tools to boost up their outcomes of innovative ideas and use well suited problem - solving techniques to identify the real cause of and best solutions to problems encountered in daily life .
Approach
It ’s encouraged to implement this mind mapping module at different levels with various scenarios according to students ’ development . It ’s not just restricted to basic education , but could be extended to senior secondary level as well with different tools . The thing that important most is Life experience . So students can not develop thinking skills by just listening how to do until or unless they ca n’t go in that situation . Teachers should support students to go outside the given information , let them time to think , strength their creative abilities , value their inventive attributes , teach them useful thinking techniques and design process , and create a ambiance conductive to innovation .
At the end , I would say that if I will be an entrepreneur in future , I would be consider this tool as an asset , so that I will boost up my business whether it would be public oriented or private !

Challenge and selection
Visualization for me creates the environment of open thoughts and views to be kept forward . I often use this tool to design any new academic projects , it helps to improve from every previous time I do it . Prompting things to be seen through multiple lenses of creativity , thought provoking activity , being the key aspect which I observe with visualization . To start a project I make sure two things best occur , firstly it must be unique of its type and secondly it must contain vital information of around everything related to that topic of academia . To achieve both the factors visualization make its way , thinking about what is still missing to make it even better ? And how to incorporate others view in same topic so as to satisfy their comfort in relation to topic assigned .
I often use this technique in almost all my work wherever I feel necessary for my efforts to gain a new insight . For project I discuss my plan of work with my peers and actively listen their objective , so as to add something very new in my project . With sharing and accepting other ’s plan gives them way to participate with greater enthusiasm and zeal . We discuss the storyline , facts to be included , decide sources of information and its impact on work , limitation of sample used , connectivity or comparison if possible and designing the graphics or formatting of project .
Application
After thinking about how to get started I give lot of efforts to put my ideation in others mind and also try to realize what others are thinking about project topic . With this process of making others understand there are lots of challenges at starting as they are pre occupied with their own mind - set , which is naturally true for me also . To produce honest effort from both the sides it takes obvious time but the result is always fruitful . The process incorporates the explaining the attributes with help of pen and paper , by describing them with flow diagrams and necessities of each step which are to be included in project assigned or just showing them connectivity and central approach objective pf project and the vital attributes which are necessary to be included .
To start any project I use the method of creative visualization , by this means I at first listen to each members of my team ( when I being the team lead ) , and then divide the members holding common thoughts into forming various groups to explore more on their creativity and ask them to refine their approach to conclude in batter way . If I ’m playing role of a team player then I focus more on my research of how to perform presentation of my part , also encourages team to try new approaches apart from traditional reporting as curiosity sometimes accidently gives birth to creativity , so as to give something new to team which in turn also motivate team to try , explore and go beyond normal routine work . With both the approaches working of creative visualization I end up having ample amount of ways and ideas to add in project .
Before final presentation of project I lean towards some sounding approaches to better communicate my project to audience , they are 1 . How to make and mark impression on audience right at the beginning ? 2 . What are the key issues circulating the topic which can be noticed by few ? 3 . What content and which individual is going to explain about it in better way ? 4 . How to be wide in approach ( facts and bibliography ) and precise while unfolding them ? 5 . What could be key aspect of project which can be repeated while explaining without audience losing their interests in us ? 6 . How to find pattern and connectivity in entire project ,
what examples from corporates can be best suited for showing connectivity to topic ? With these effects into application the project and efforts of team tend to move in right direction . And at last , after every presentation that my team make we give ear to feedback part by other peers on performance basis , content wise , scheduling of sequences of slides story - wise and moreover do we were successful in providing those contents what the topic demand . Almost every time it ’s rather not possible to provide contents on such scale , but through creative visualization we as team achieve success to honourable extent .
Insight and Approach
By performing things through application of visualization concept a lot more can be improved , which I have personally observed . At starting it will be difficult to adopt as one is adapted to his own instincts of doing things in traditional manner , but slowly on seeing the weightage of outcome one can change its way . Things which I have learned are like teambuilding , team spirit , concern for choice others members are making and moreover effective work environment where ideas are freshly generated when you set a pace in concept of ideation . When you incorporate others thought in your decision , that ’s the turning point of your visualization , where things like out of box thinking and designing comes into play . For very great project/ task visualization is the first step to make way simpler . As it accounts so much of thought process that a person see the other side of arguments also . Identification of problem and creating surplus ways to tackle and then choosing the best alternative among them is what effective visualization comes , these alternatives are the results of brainstorming over each choice leading to different amount of consensus .
I ’m also looking forward to practice the concept of story - telling and mind mapping through which more clear subjective views can be drilled out after visualization . As story - telling involves the disclosure of strategies and other complex issues to an apprentice also , who sometimes hesitate in decision making process .

Author : Jean Pierre Jouanne
Challenge & Application
I am currently working in France in retirement homes called The Coca - Cola . During my working time , I greatly interact with senior people . While taking this class , I realize that I use Storytelling on a daily basis . Module 2 of the class introduce a concept that I love and that can be easily implementable while I try to solve resident ’s problems and anxiety issues . I describe myself as an open - minded person that can easily share lives stories with senior residents . By listening to their concerns , it helps me visualizing areas to improve and start my thinking process in order to develop new strategies . By applying this strategy , I am able to improve their satisfaction levels on many different levels ( canteen repartition , reorganization of visits time and so on … ) .
Application
My story , I think , will talk to everyone reading this paper . During the difficult context on the crisis we are all facing , the badly famous COVID-19 , I was able to use storytelling to comfort the elderly people I ’m working with . During this stress - generating times , I was in charge of developing and addressing elderly people needs . At the management meeting , the director of the center wanted to apply rules dictated by our government strictly . I took a stand , explaining to the director that the situation needs to be addressed differently while still addressing rules dictated by our national leaders . Then , I told them the story of this old lady in the residence . This particular lady was especially impacted by this sanitary crisis , she was n’t sick , she was simply afraid about the consequences of sanitary restrictions . I took the time to sit down and listen to her concerns . She explained me that she was n’t necessarily scared of being contaminated , even though she knew it could be fatal for her . What was worrying her , was to fact of being left alone in her room without any human interaction . She obviously needed attention from us more than medical treatments . Thereafter , I opened up to her by confessing that the situation also had a negative impact on myself . Simply the fact of opening up to this person , made her realize that we were in same situation and that I would be here to support her even during this crisis .
Approach & Feedback
This story might sound straight forward , and it was for me too . However , after , listening and learning from the class material , I realize the multiple applications for the storytelling tool . After talking to this old charming person , it made me realize that the straight forward application of sanitary restrictions could not be applied in our retirement house . Elderly residents should have a say on how to apply those life saving restrictions in order to reduce the stress induce by this worldwide sanitary crisis .
After telling this story to the management board , I think they realized that their business was revolving around elderly person wellness and not strictly only around the medical health .
In this case , we decided to integrate two types of “ Contactless meetups ” for family visits in The Coca - Cola that were in adequation with sanitary regulation . First option , was to organize virtual family visits for residents who were incline to select this method . The second one was to create a safe space were family could see , hear , and talk their elderly family member without being in contact with them .
In conclusion , this course allowed me to better understand tools available to me for better responding to previously unsolvable problems . In the future , I will be more incline to use visualization , mind mapping and learning lunch tools in decisions making processes .

Challenge Storytelling is one of the major innovation tool that is used in the design thinking and branding of the business . As the consumers and the beneficiaries of the business products and brands are seen to be losing the temptation to listen and are focused on selling their own experiences . What this does is , it makes the story looks dysfunctional , monologous and unengaging . I want to use storytelling as an innovation design tool to understand such problems from the user perspective to make it a human - centred design with emotional attachment and connect the dots of stories .
Selection It is one of the fundamental platform in the domain of innovation and design that helps to connect the unconnected dots by sharing the emotions , the characters , the values of the people , their opinions and ideas that help live the product in everyday basis . The reason for me to choose the Storytelling as the fundamental innovation design tool is because of its strenthg to connect the slightest of the information that one tries to share . It goes beyond the listing of the information to actually making the information speak to the emotions of the people . It adds different dimensions to the messages that needs sharing and makes its presence count to widest of the audiences . It does convey the message with a logic and a rationale for bigger purpose . Application In the application front , storytelling acts as the catalyst to increase the prospect of creating an understanding of cause of particular event or story per se . The story creates the cause and with the cause comes the unity within the audiences . As I have learned in the course , before attempting to deliver the full - fledged storytelling as the means of innovation in design , I first identify my particular and needy audiences . I categorise and prioritise them . Since , a good story is designed for the audiences , they form the major benchmarks of this tool and are also the major beneficiary of this tool . After identifying the right audience , it becomes necessary to be familiar with the choices and demands of the audiences and I try to align my story in the same way that best suits the interests of the audiences . The second step I use in Storytelling tool is developing the proper sequence of the events in chronological manner . I also try to find the missing links and the unconnected dots from the beginning to the end of the piece of information that gets to be shared with the audiences . Thirdly , I take the time out for moment of reflection during the entire storytelling . One of the fundamental idea behind storytelling is not just to tell a story and establish a melancholic monologue but to be more participatory and be democratic in sharing the story . I ask the questions and also the answers in between the time of the delivery of the story with the audiences . Sometime the audiences feel bored and simply decline form hearing the stories . In such circumstances , what I do is try to know what they desire to hear and how they can be made motivated . This is how I then lean to my major part of the story and try to be more vocal about that part of the important message to be more persuasive and engaging . Storytelling is not just a fiction , it is also fact . Therefore , I believe that sometimes hard facts about the stories encourage the listeners or the audiences to focus on the story that is being shared in logical and rational way .
Insight and Approach We live in a world where people are constantly trying to individualize most of the things that they do . With the IT revolution and Internet of Things , people are turning to be digital zombies . They are starting to disorient the speech or the forms of stories of the people . At such bleak scenarios , storytelling can be made innovative and sustaining among the audiences and
stakeholders . Storytelling can be an effective means of encouraging and engaging people to effectively establish the missing emotional link and meaningful engagement . Since I realize that the trend of Internet of Things is increasing and people are being more electronically driven in sharing the information , the insights from storytelling can be used in maximum advantage for a multiple shades of design thinking and innovation . I would encourage to use storytelling as the major tool in the domain of innovation and design thinking and take an informative approach for the same .

I ask the questions and also the answers in between the time of the delivery of the story with the audiences . Sometime the audiences feel bored and simply decline form hearing the stories . In such circumstances , what I do is try to know what they desire to hear and how they can be made motivated . This is how I then lean to my major part of the story and try to be more vocal about that part of the important message to be more persuasive and engaging . Storytelling is not just a fiction , it is also fact . Therefore , I believe that sometimes hard facts about the stories encourage the listeners or the audiences to focus on the story that is being shared in logical and rational way .
Insight and Approach We live in a world where people are constantly trying to individualize most of the things that they do . With the IT revolution and Internet of Things , people are turning to be digital zombies . They are starting to disorient the speech or the forms of stories of the people . At such bleak scenarios , storytelling can be made innovative and sustaining among the audiences and
stakeholders . Storytelling can be an effective means of encouraging and engaging people to effectively establish the missing emotional link and meaningful engagement . Since I realize that the trend of Internet of Things is increasing and people are being more electronically driven in sharing the information , the insights from storytelling can be used in maximum advantage for a multiple shades of design thinking and innovation . I would encourage to use storytelling as the major tool in the domain of innovation and design thinking and take an informative approach for the same .

My friend went through a period of massive change . He is promoted into a position of much greater responsibility at work . Concurrently , he is also navigating life as a newly married couple . These are changes he experienced while living in a new city with few friends and no family in the area to rely on .
He became overly stressed . He quickly found himself feeling like he was n’t excelling at the things that mattered most to him . He started to come out from important aspects of his life . He stopped playing , exercise , roaming new place . He stopped thinking over what he is eating . he started feel more stress and not able to find the way to come out of it . He became more distant from his close friends and family . He stopped taking the time to have meaningful conversations with friends & family , to do the things that made him happy . This way he is losing himself . he is far from himself and I realise that I have to do something to make a change and get him back to happy and healthy life .
Selection
I did n’t realize it until months later , that I will use a design thinking approach to help him to get back to happy and healthy life . I am going to select storytelling tool to solve his problem . The idea behind the selecting this tool is story of the happy and healthy living friend will help him to come out of the stressed life .
Application
I knew I have to make an immediate change and I began a quick , yet intense evaluation of his life to understand why he was feeling such loss of control . He is already feeling sorry for his behaviour to friend and family . I have started to analyse him , his day to day activity . Tried to make conversion with him to know more about the root cause that how he become stressed and unhappy person . I started a personal journal to build deeper insights into his own behavior and state - of - being and It will be very helpful to redesign his life . Defining his problems , wants , needs , what make him stressed , what make him happy , what is going in his mind , etc ..
one of our friend is passing from the same situation and he is more happy at present with new opportunity and new way of life . He got promoted to new role he accepts the challenges using his settled mindset . He managed to complete his daily activity in time frame and spending more time with his family and friends . He adopt the change in his life and started to enjoying it in meaningful way .
Wow is Using the general I have insight on his problems that The stress , anxiety , and lack of sleep made it difficult to make sense of what is going on in his mind , to help
clearly identify his problems . He need support of family and close friends . He need to let go of long - lasting burdens . He need to live a life of courage and without fear . He need to dream and push himself .
So I told the story of happy friend to him and I think it had big impact on his life to come out of stress and live healthy life . It is n’t that , he did n’t know how to live happy and healthy it is just burden of stress which keep him away to health and family . This small story of well managed friend can put a big impact on his stressful life and can help him to get the way to come out of it .
Insight & Approach
With the help of this course I have jumped to the Design Thinking Approach , and tried to think out of the box solution . This course help me to generate new ideas and insights on problems and Prototype the solutions . Story of successful person can put big impact on the person ’s mind . This can be a game changer for the person who is really in a need of it .
Next time I will come out with more data over the problem , as much details as I can collect . I will try another tool to solve this problem to check that any other better and more effective approach is there ! !

Over the last 18 + months , in the AI & Data Science space , we have been struggling with getting enough engagement and feedback from our market facing teams , i.e. Sales , Account Management and Solutioning teams , to make our offerings both innovative and relevant to the market . We ’ve been trying to follow the Learning Launch process , but found ourselves unable to get to grips with clients ’ unstated needs , which is critical in an emerging technology space – when we did ideation sessions with our market facing teams , we found ourselves falling prey to one of the following :
- ‘ Google’itis – where the ideas generated were based on basic web research and hence neither deep nor innovative .
- Subject to HiPO bias – the Highest Paid Opinion would win over others , and in addition this would often insist on killing other ideas ‘ because these will not scale ’
- Repeating what we had done for a client elsewhere , so that cookie - cutter ideas predominated , regardless of whether these were relevant for other industries and clients
It was clear that if we had to succeed , we needed to change the way we did ideation and came up with Use Cases around which we build our solutions . Selection Mind Mapping would be at the heart of the new approach , as I felt that our usual structured approach to creating business cases has been failing to capture the potential and possibilities of an emerging technology area – we needed to find a way to allow for exploration , but in a manner that led to concrete outputs based on data , rather than pie - in- the - sky ideas . Application In the last few weeks , we have rolled out a revised methodology with the following key features :
- Ideation sessions to always be in - person , for maximum engagement , in workshop mode
- The kickoff sessions would always present data from primary and secondary research , with actual clients and prospects . ( Refinement … ) As well as substantial amounts of content from experts in the relevant technologies/ tools to ensure that the potential of these was fully understood
- Most important , we adopted Mind Mapping techniques to flesh out the personas/ wants/ key success criteria of key stakeholders and buyers in our target industries and enterprises – building these out on the basis of the research data , best practices and stories from our partners and technology experts and conversations with key
clients and prospects . These have helped us uncover and refine * real * business problems and opportunities , eliminate guesswork and kill lazy rehashing of what someone read on the web or what was done elsewhere .
- In addition , we also implemented other ideation techniques like silent ideation ( for a fixed amount of time ) , after which each person came up and presented their ideas with one per sticky note , with others discarding any duplicates . Each person also had to attach their sticky notes to the relevant Mind Map on the board , with a brief verbal explanation of how it was relevant , why it met a clear need/ opportunity and who would be the target beneficiary/ buyer for this service/ offering .
Insight This has helped us achieve the following :
- Use Cases are now based on data , real feedback and insights from clients and prospects
- Our services and offerings are now targeted at specific personas , addressing deep needs and opportunities , with differentiated solutions that have already started to change the tone of our conversation with clients
- A much higher level of engagement from our market facing teams , as they have a deeper understanding of the potential solutions and are energized by their market potential
We are now rolling this methodology out for all our innovation workshops , where Mind Mapping is central , but is also always based on rigorous research and data gathering prior to the workshop session . It has also thrown up lacunae in this process of research – in the past we have had major successes in innovation projects with field observation using ethnographic methods , but this has not been rolled out as a consistent set of practices , with the result that the quality of research and data on user behaviour and needs varies from project to project . We are now addressing this as a critical area , so that the Mind Mapping process and subsequent ideation is based on a more solid data foundation . And some of the market leading companies in the Data Science space , having participated in some of our workshop sessions , are now rolling out this methodology to all their other partners !

All these production processes are very energy intensive process . Among these , Engine Foundry was the most Energy Intensive due to the working for 2 Electric Furnaces . Since the plant was not equipped with cutting edge Data Acquisition Systems , there was no visibility whether the processes were executed at optimum efficiency . There were old PLC and SCADA systems but the data was stored in disparate stand alone computers . As a result , collection of data for reporting and optimisation process was a painstaking task for the Foundry Managers and Foundry Head . Any form of optimisation leading to cost saving required installation of a centralised data aggregation platform with proper analytics tools and proper visualisation to ease the decision making process . Problems & their Impact :
1 . Lack of visibility of the foundry process . 2 . No Centralised database for real - time analysis , visualisation reporting and decision
making .
3 . Increased cost due to less efficient processes . 4 . Low productivity of the unit leading to less output of the plant
Foundry process included ,
• Loading the scrap metals cubes from the trucks into the bins
• Creating a mix of scrap metals along with aluminium and other metals
• adding them to the furnace for the melting cycle to begin
• once molten , the metal is then transported to the foundry machine where the hot metal is poured into sand moulds to form engine blocks
• these blocks are then cured , hardened and polished .
Insights : Energy wastage happens during the starting - melting - holding and idle times of the furnace . This wastage leads to increased cost and reduced energy efficiency as well as productivity of the plant .
• Smart Energy meters were connected at the source transformers and power lines which supplied the furnaces , machines and other peripheral loads of the foundry unit .
• These meters are then connected to a network of controllers and data aggregators which sent the data(electrical parameters ) to a common database .
• This enabled the analytics team to fetch real - time data with 1 second interval .
• Data collected included , current , voltages , power , energy , power factor , frequency and 21 others .
• There was a total of 32 such data points generating 672 data points / second
• The data when populated in the data base allowed the team to plot the entire process on a real - time basis and compare the same to the theoretical process suggested .
• Parameters like power / energy / current / voltages etc showed when the furnaces and machine are idle , and what efficiency are they working at . This was then correlated with process cycle- " Cold start of furnace , melting cycle , holding cycle and refill cycle " with time on the x - axis
• This exposed shortcomings of the processes like - human interventions , overstretched breaks , careless operations of the furnaces(like heating of empty furnaces , filling up cold furnaces etc . )
• The shortcomings identified in the analysis were validated by the ground operations team during the " gemba " .
• Root cause analysis of the " human intervention " problem was done using 5 - Why methodology and it was found that , " The scrap material cube sourced from the
supplier were bigger than the instructed dimension . This took more time to melt in the furnace . The operator had to chip the cubes and break them into smaller pieces which took more time . " All this while the Furnace was kept in cold start mode which consumed energy .
Application :
• The scrap metal supplier was fined for violating the SLA and was asked to comply with the norms .
• The operators and ground workers were made aware of the new process and the monitoring system which increased their work efficiency .
• The extended breaks were cut down .
• These combined steps led to an overall reduction in energy consumption by 15 % and overall cost reduction by 17 % which translated to roughly 7 lac INR per month .
• The reporting in now done on a single click instead of manual records which saved 720 man - hours / month .
• The visibility of the entire data has increased the speed of decision making process due to attractive n yet informative graphs and charts .
• The entire project broke even with 3 months .
Approach :
• The new stricter SLA was drafted for the scrap metal supplier and the consignment was now received with proper quality assurance documentation from the supplier side .
• The processes are regularly audited .
• The supervisors are trained to use the monitoring dashboard to identify and report anomalies and generate production reports , cost reports , billing and consumption of energy all through the portal .
• The senior management like the foundry head and plant head are given access and training to the executive level view of the portal which help them in fast decision making
• The ground team is backed by a tech team with IT which provides 24x7 support for issues on the portal and a vendor partner who is available on call of the maintenance of the meters and the controllers .

I asked my dad if I could go to the theater to watch the movie but unfortunately he said no way ; apparently I was too young to watch such a violent movie . My cousin , Kike , was luckier ; he was older than me and he was allowed to go . The day after we met and I asked him to tell me the movie , to narrate it to me . He did it .
He explained to me how the shark attacked the women at the beginning of the movie ; he whistled the soundtrack , he told me how the beaches were closed , how three guys decided to chase the animal and how the shark got finally killed . 5 years later I finally happened to watch the movie ; although I liked it , I think that the way my cousin explained it to me was more terrifying . Words happened to be more powerful than images and facts .
I guess that I became interested in storytelling when I was a kid . This Jaws anecdote played a relevant role . This is what storytelling is all about : telling things in order to modify people ’s knowledge , feelings and attitude . It ’s about touching people , making them reacting to what you are saying .
It seems easy but it ’s very hard . I am currently working as a PR consultant and I am in charge of building compelling stories about my clients and deliver them to their stakeholders . I am not a creative guy so I have always needed a roadmap that guides me all the way through to build such stories . I strongly believe that you need a procedure , a methodology to build a good story that can have an impact on people .
The first thing I need to know is why a specific brand I am working with needs a story . Is it to engage with its clients , its internal staff , providers , value chain players ? Who does the company wishes to connect to through the story ? This is the reason why to build a robust and solid story .
Once we have defined this strategic goal with the client , I always conduct a profound research to understand the brand I am working with . What defines the brand , what does this brand stand for , what differentiates this brand from the competition , what are its attributes , what is its competitive advantage , what are the key facts that define the brand … My team and I conduct both quantitative and qualitative analysis to have a clear understanding of the brand or company .
Once I have identified the key elements that can help me to build the brand story , I start selecting the elements that are more powerful , meaningful and that can contribute to the story we are working to develop . This are the key pieces we need to collect to put them together in a meaningful and compelling way .
Finally we start putting these pieces together following a specific sequence . This sequence is the story we are building and it needs to be inspirational , emotional , touching , and comprehensive , and it has to simplify what the brand is . This story needs to capture the essence of the brand and persuade its clients and different audiences that this brand is authentic and honest .
I strongly believe that storytelling is a powerful tool to engage with clients and positon the brand in a different and unique way . Brands are easy to be understood and easy to be loved when you
tell and narrate them . It ’s easier to understand a story than a sum of facts , data and figures . This is the power of stories .

### Input: Spielberg ’s Jaws was released in 1975 when I was 8 years old . I asked my dad if I could go to the theater to watch the movie but unfortunately he said no way ; apparently I was too young to watch such a violent movie . My cousin , Kike , was luckier ; he was older than me and he was allowed to go . The day after we met and I asked him to tell me the movie , to narrate it to me . He did it .
He explained to me how the shark attacked the women at the beginning of the movie ; he whistled the soundtrack , he told me how the beaches were closed , how three guys decided to chase the animal and how the shark got finally killed . 5 years later I finally happened to watch the movie ; although I liked it , I think that the way my cousin explained it to me was more terrifying . Words happened to be more powerful than images and facts .
I guess that I became interested in storytelling when I was a kid . This Jaws anecdote played a relevant role . This is what storytelling is all about : telling things in order to modify people ’s knowledge , feelings and attitude . It ’s about touching people , making them reacting to what you are saying .
It seems easy but it ’s very hard . I am currently working as a PR consultant and I am in charge of building compelling stories about my clients and deliver them to their stakeholders . I am not a creative guy so I have always needed a roadmap that guides me all the way through to build such stories .

Challenge
Last week I was invited to help out with one of my customers currently going through a new software deployment . They were having some challenges getting all their employees ’ buy - in into the project . It ’s a small organization with a very senior population of employees whose day jobs involve them being incredibly critical , and who are used to challenge a lot innovative decisions . Because they had n’t been fully involved in the decision to move to the new solution - they were resisting . The first thing I did was to spend time hearing from a couple of people who had some involvement in the project , one of the partners as well as the project lead . This really helped me understand the background in more detail and the specific aspects of the organizational culture which were making this project so challenging . Based on my observations the biggest gap appeared to be a lack of commitment from employees and the sponsors . They did n’t care if it was a success or not .
Selection
Working with the project lead we decided to craft a story to share with the employees to explain in details why the decision to move to this new solution had been made , why it was the right strategic partner for them , and how they individually would benefit in their day - to - day activities .
Application
We designed the story asking ourselves some questions like
• To whom the story is addressed to ? Is it someone in particular ? A group ? A team ? This helps us define our “ hero ”
• What is his / her challenge ? Which issue are we trying to solve with this story ? What this challenge brings to our “ hero ” ?
• How our “ hero ” did actually respond to this challenge ? What are his / her motivations ?
• Why did our “ hero ” make the choice he / she did ? What gave him / her the courage to act ?
• What was the outcome of this choice ? Why does it matter ?
• What is the moral or leadership lesson in this story ?
We told the story in a very personal and empathic way during one - to - one informal catch - up , around a lunch or a coffee . As it ’s often the case with the communications messages given to employees about change , there had n’t been much thought given to making an emotional connection with them about the change during any of the initial communications messages . This proof of empathy and we , showing that we were actually caring about them , really get to them and granted us to start building a more trustful connection with most of them .
Insight and Approach
As soon as we started to share the story with employees , we had an immediate positive reaction . In the early days , the initial feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and has also contributed to the executive sponsor agreeing to step up and take a larger role in the project moving forward . The above is a very simple example that shows that storytelling can be a much more impactful way of communicating with people than using standard , dry , boring IT communications .
Storytelling can be used to drive and inspire change . Stories have the power to make information memorable , repeatable and easy to spread . They can motivate our brains to pay attention . They can help shape new beliefs , change minds and inspire action . Through storytelling we teach people ( starting with the children ) right from wrong , we share lessons learnt and we create bonds with each other . Storytelling allows people to connect with each other , to learn and to be inspired . What I ’ve seen to be very effective is having employees from different teams and divisions of an organization tell their own personal stories , and sharing them with the rest of the company . Hearing a story from Jane in the Marketing team about how she was skeptical about a change she was being asked to make , having insights into her values and challenges , then hearing how she overcomes them and the success it has bought her is much more interesting reading than hearing a similar story about an unknown person who works in a big and unknown tech company .

Challenge & Selection
As an IT Business Analyst in the financial industry I was confronted with the task to elicit the requirements for tool which creates investment proposals . The existing tool has been used for many years and needs to be updated due to technical constraints . At the same time , some new features shall be implemented .
The development process in our firm includes Scrum as a simple and lightweight framework for software development . While in Scrum the concept of user stories is a way to specify requirements I wanted to use the design tool of storytelling ( see also the lecture for week 2 ) for discussing the requirements in order to see whether this concept can be leveraged .
Application
A workshop was organized with the relevant stakeholders where the project was introduced . After that , the stakeholders were split into three groups based on the areas of the new features and were sent to brainstorming in short breakout sessions .
After the good ideas had been selected the stakeholders were asked to work out a story for each idea . The stories were discussed , validated and approved or dismissed .
Insight & Approach
From what I have learned during the workshop when applying the storytelling design tool is that it did n’t worked well for all requirements . It also is turned out that it is not a good idea to just use one design tool .
Although I had a story for each idea and there was a common understanding on how it should work it was difficult for some features to
show HOW it would look like and how they fit into the existing advisory process .
I decided to mix the use of the design tools and to add visualizing with models and/or user journeys to the storytelling tool so that a good output of the workshop can be reached .
Besides the story , the Scrum user stories would not only contain the requirements in form of a story , but they would also be more complete by adding an example and a visual where needed which supports the creation of acceptance criteria .

Challenge
As an IT and management consultant , I worked for a client in water and waste for an initially product and services innovation mission . But while interviewing the Executive committee members and top managers from the steering committee of the project , the consultants team understood that we had a broader scope to address . The challenge was to imagine their future business model , to open top managers mindsets to innovation and prototyping , and then to convey our results and ideas to the Executive Committee . Consultants and internal top managers from different departments of the company ( innovation , engineering , waste , water , IT … ) were working together in order to imagine the water and waste business model of the future .
Selection
We chose to use a tool that would help us visualize the possible new business models for their activity . We chose the Business Model Generation Canvas from Alex Osterwalder ’s book ( see below ) because it had the following advantages :
- being easy to use and explain – especially if you are in the right innovative mindset ;
- being a part of a whole method that involves a value proposition focus which helps people to decipher the most important assumptions of their ideas ( whether it is a key partner , a customer segment for example ) ;
- allowing prototyping ;
- forcing people to synthesize their ideas – it has to be expressed in a few words or a simple drawing on a post - it that you stick onto the right boxes ( e.g. Key resources , channels , etc . ) ;
- allowing storytelling when presenting the fulfilled version – you stick the post - its on the canvas as you speak in order to share your story in an understanble way with people who would have not participate in the building of the canvas .
The goal is to fulfill the whole canvas the best and the most you can and to obtain a coherent business model that can be pitched .
BUSINESS MODEL CANVAS ( BY ALEX OSTERWALDER )
https://www.boardofinnovation.com/blog/2010/04/22/3-tools-to-visualize-your-start-ups-business-model/ ( consulted on 05/15/2017 )
Application
After a first phase where we interviewed employees , made a benchmark of innovative initiatives in water and waste companies , organized exploratory meetings with various actors of the innovation and sector ecosystem in Europe and in San Fransisco , we had the inputs for the idea generation and prototyping phase of the mission . Their encounters with startuppers , business angels , CTO , etc . in Europe and during the learning expedition prepared their mindset during 2.5 months .
So , we then set up a two - days business model innovation seminar with actors from the whole ecosystem – sometimes involved earlier in the meetings . The engagement during the seminar was astonishing and people shared freely their ideas during alternate workshops ( brainstorming and prototyping ) and plenary session ( ideas pitching ) . Together , with the inputs of the previous phases and with a team composed of different backgrounds , we successfully prototyped 40 business models , we refined 11 of them and then presented 5 to the Executive Committee .
Insights
After our work on the « What is ? » with the benchmark , the interviews and various intercations and observation of the innovation and water and waste ecosystem , the whole team reached the next step with a more innovative mindset : more open - minded , eager to listen , less judgy , with a sharing and engaged behaviour , ready to prototype , knowing that failures would happen but that the important was to do it fast and to learn from it . We were all ready to evolve in an uncertain environment and we were aware of the limitless possibilities to imagine their future business models . The steering committee members acted as champions of innovation and motivating factors in the workshops groups during the seminar , by animating an innovation community on their intranet during and after the mission , and then by presenting their refined business models during the dedicated Executive Committee session .
The business model canvas allowed us to work both on the « What if ? » and « What wows ? » because we brainstormed during workshops and developped concepts that we had to pitch systematically ( it could be assimilated with the napkin pitches ) . The value proposition focus helped surfacing the key assumptions of the projects and the canvas itself to prototype .
Approach
Actually , I did not realize how close the use of this tool was to design thinking methods as I barely knew the concept at this time . But I know now that it is a visualisation tool helping you through different stages of the process . Plus , it includes not only visualization , but also prototyping and storytelling which makes it really complete . The « What if ? » and « What Wows ? » phases were quite a success with this tool and we reached our mission objectives .
Though , I now realize that presenting the results only to an Executive Committee was not enough to get value out of our project because other stakeholders such as cutomers should have been involved in our research phase and then in the feedback search and learning launches phases . We only based our reflections on our experience as users and probably lacked observation ( for waste value chain ) and interviewing ( for water users ) . So the quality of the inputs might have been debatable and lots of work still needed to be done in the « What works ? » phase . We indeed suggested to use the innovation labs they had to test some solutions , and a few big strategic decisions came out of our initiative , but the test and learn mindset was still to be spread in the company as we finished our mission .

- allowing storytelling when presenting the fulfilled version – you stick the post - its on the canvas as you speak in order to share your story in an understanble way with people who would have not participate in the building of the canvas .
The goal is to fulfill the whole canvas the best and the most you can and to obtain a coherent business model that can be pitched .
BUSINESS MODEL CANVAS ( BY ALEX OSTERWALDER )
https://www.boardofinnovation.com/blog/2010/04/22/3-tools-to-visualize-your-start-ups-business-model/ ( consulted on 05/15/2017 )
Application
After a first phase where we interviewed employees , made a benchmark of innovative initiatives in water and waste companies , organized exploratory meetings with various actors of the innovation and sector ecosystem in Europe and in San Fransisco , we had the inputs for the idea generation and prototyping phase of the mission . Their encounters with startuppers , business angels , CTO , etc . in Europe and during the learning expedition prepared their mindset during 2.5 months .
So , we then set up a two - days business model innovation seminar with actors from the whole ecosystem – sometimes involved earlier in the meetings . The engagement during the seminar was astonishing and people shared freely their ideas during alternate workshops ( brainstorming and prototyping ) and plenary session ( ideas pitching ) . Together , with the inputs of the previous phases and with a team composed of different backgrounds , we successfully prototyped 40 business models , we refined 11 of them and then presented 5 to the Executive Committee .
Insights
After our work on the « What is ? » with the benchmark , the interviews and various intercations and observation of the innovation and water and waste ecosystem , the whole team reached the next step with a more innovative mindset : more open - minded , eager to listen , less judgy , with a sharing and engaged behaviour , ready to prototype , knowing that failures would happen but that the important was to do it fast and to learn from it . We were all ready to evolve in an uncertain environment and we were aware of the limitless possibilities to imagine their future business models . The steering committee members acted as champions of innovation and motivating factors in the workshops groups during the seminar , by animating an innovation community on their intranet during and after the mission , and then by presenting their refined business models during the dedicated Executive Committee session .
The business model canvas allowed us to work both on the « What if ? » and « What wows ? » because we brainstormed during workshops and developped concepts that we had to pitch systematically ( it could be assimilated with the napkin pitches ) . The value proposition focus helped surfacing the key assumptions of the projects and the canvas itself to prototype .
Approach
Actually , I did not realize how close the use of this tool was to design thinking methods as I barely knew the concept at this time . But I know now that it is a visualisation tool helping you through different stages of the process . Plus , it includes not only visualization , but also prototyping and storytelling which makes it really complete . The « What if ? » and « What Wows ? » phases were quite a success with this tool and we reached our mission objectives .
Though , I now realize that presenting the results only to an Executive Committee was not enough to get value out of our project because other stakeholders such as cutomers should have been involved in our research phase and then in the feedback search and learning launches phases . We only based our reflections on our experience as users and probably lacked observation ( for waste value chain ) and interviewing ( for water users ) . So the quality of the inputs might have been debatable and lots of work still needed to be done in the « What works ? » phase . We indeed suggested to use the innovation labs they had to test some solutions , and a few big strategic decisions came out of our initiative , but the test and learn mindset was still to be spread in the company as we finished our mission .

I need to convince the parents and students to take admission into various courses offered by the university . To make the students enroll into the courses one of the design thinking tools was interested in applying to a challenge is Storytelling .
Storytelling
Challenge & Selection :
Before attempting to find and characterise alternative solutions to the problem , I used the instrument of story telling team to develop a shared knowledge of the problem space among a varied collection of stakeholders . This is a strategy I frequently employ with our customers . I have used techniques like interviewing , testimonial of the outgoing batch .
Application : I start the process by creating a visual board of the problem domain . To develop the visual board , I will draw from any existing material available to understand the environment . I will create a different type of visual for clear understanding about the process to the stakeholders . I created forms and captured the data from the customers . Their understanding of current educational institutions and what are their expectations from the university .
Insight & Approach : What I have learned from conducting this exercise was I received good feedback about the needs and insights that the parents are looking for to take the admission into university . what they expect from the university after graduation . 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 .

Challenge & Selection Visualization is one of the tools that I use the most in the different improvement projects in which I have participated as a public policy consultant . Both in team meetings and in follow - up presentations with the client , we usually use different visual resources to illustrate , describe , simplify , synthesize and , especially , capture the most important elements within complex problems . In particular , I would like to highlight 3 visualization techniques that have been especially valuable for me to define key problems , the scope and limitations of the project to be developed , as well as the delimitation of relevant actors and their interests . These are the problem tree , the objectives tree and the actor ’s map . Application A problem tree is a technique that consists of establishing a model that seeks to explain the causes and consequences of a given problem . When it is my turn to lead meetings in this initial exploratory stage of the project , I begin by writing on the whiteboard a set of preliminary statements about the various possible problems facing our client that prompted our engagement . However , I do not unveil them until the end of the meeting . In fact , I first suggest to each member of the multidisciplinary team to come up with new hypotheses based on a series of triggers . This process is repeated as many times as necessary until the ideas contributed saturate the content obtained . From here , the aim is to put these statements in order and structure them in a cause- and - effect relationship , so as to determine the central problem to be tackled . Similar to a tree , the main problem represents the trunk , the roots are the causes , and the branches are the effects , reflecting an interrelation between the whole . Thus , the possible central problem is placed in the centre and the direct and indirect causes are derived towards the roots whereas the direct and indirect effects and the final effect are derived towards the branches . This allows us to clearly establish a relationship of causality and assessment that helps to consolidate one of the main turning points for the success of any improvement project : the correct definition of the problem . The objectives tree is the positive counterpart of the problem tree . In effect , it is a matter of converting each of the problem ideas that were grouped as causes , central problem or effects into affirmative sentences . ( the " to be " ) . For example , if the central problem which we had identified is " Education department officials have not been adequately trained in the use of a new data processing system " , we replace it by the following sentence : " Education department officials have been adequately trained in the use of a new data processing system " . In this way , the latter becomes our central objective . The same is done with the different ideas in the problem tree and , depending on their location , direct and indirect causes are transformed into goals and effects into results . The final step in this process is to decide what activities will be proposed to achieve the central objective of the project . For this purpose , the results obtained from the objective tree are taken as a reference .
At this point , team meetings are set up , as well as meetings with the client and the different alternatives for action are presented . In this type of meeting , the aim is to identify possible barriers and impediments that may not have been considered and that may hinder the implementation of a particular solution . Insight & Approach What I have learned from my experience with the use of this type of visualisation technique is that it allows the establishment of references and guidelines that help to clarify the underlying problem , prioritise and measure the impact of each of the conflicts identified and specify the guidelines for action . This graphic resource , which can be condensed into a single diagram , allows us to visualise the challenge as a whole , facilitating multiple instances of feedback , while ensuring that both the team and the client are talking about the same thing . Likewise , the integral vision provided by this technique allows us to delve into other aspects of the project , such as the analysis of stakeholders linked to each of the problems identified , as well as the identification of who will be the officials or people in charge of acting as catalysts and managers of the proposed changes . In the future , I intend to better integrate other tools that contribute to the generation of innovative ideas based on design thinking , especially when it comes to projects where we have the possibility to iterate and test small - scale but real - world models of action .

Challenge Scenario : In recent times we have seen that there are Institutions , both promoters managed and professionally managed , few are doing well while others have made a big mess which was reflected clearly in the recent quality ranking which is actually depends on the Chairperson ’s Big Dreams and poor executions . In my state most of the Self - financing Institutions are family managed with promoters being in charge of managing the Institution and only few are professionally managed Institutions . Family owned and promoter run Academic Institutions are playing a vital role in higher education space for long term value creation in Tamil Nadu ( India ) . We are witnessing a huge difference in the style of management of our Academic institutions between the promoter managed and professional managed , and many of these Institutions have had a mixed record in attracting and retaining high quality Academic talents . Inclusive of external professionals Timing is an all important question . In the early stages of growth , too much management is more dangerous than too little . There is some merit in living with some “ chaos ” and letting the Institutions evolve in an ad hoc way . Yet successful institutions typically reach a point where bringing in a different type of Academic talents is necessary to take the institution to the next level . The first step is for the promoter to realize that different professionals are required for the future journey . Incidentally this is often the stage when an Institution progress is visibly slowed down by the lack of formal structures , systems and processes . Going external might also be an imperative if there is a sudden shift in the research domain and Accreditations which might demand a certain set of skills that is not available in the current team . 2 . Selection The tool I selected here is “ Learning launch ” , according to our video lecture on this tool , we need to have a hypothesis . Here my hypothesis is “ Institutional success are measured by the reputation created by its Faculties not by its Return on Investment ” Promoter managed Since the promoters have their money invested in the institution they are more interested in creating long term return on investment value versus the professionals who are more concerned about short term profits because their remuneration and incentives are dependent on that only . It is argued that since they have started the institution and withstood tough times to get the institution to a respectable position they understand the culture of the institution better than anyone else . Professional Managed Professional managers should be at the wheel of the institution say that promoters often lack the specialized skills required to run an institution whereas professionals have better skill sets to success - fully manage an Institution . They argue that promoters control the academic democracy and are often dictate and tend to miss the opportunities because they do n’t listen to others 3 . Application A passionate workplace is a function of clarity of purpose and an empowering culture . The essence is in how well the department and its heads have managed to inspire faculties through their vision , how clearly faculties are able to see how their role contributes to department and degree to which faculties are empowered to do their role . It is not just the promoter ’s interest but the work atmosphere and culture .
Faculty Participations In the initial stage , faculties may have to adjust before being accepted into the system , but once they succeed almost become innovators and creators in their own do - main . As long as their results show up , faculties are successful . Good Institution does not look to appoint just faculties but associates with multidisciplinary expertise and aptitude towards Research activities . Decision making is faster in the successful promoter - led institutions . Once there are clear positive atmosphere , faculties have the opportunity and freedom to think and act as heads to drive growth 4 . Insight There are lessons can be picked from some of the successful Institutions , we have seen few Institutions in my state they ran into trouble because of the dictatorship of those chairpersons . And those successful Institutions appoint academic professionals those are better than them and then leave them to get on with it . They also continuously look for people who will aim for the achievements and not settle for the routine . However it is ideal to have the promoter has the Chairperson of the Institution and he / she should be supported by professionals with diverse skills because success of any institution not lies in ROI , it 's about the reputation which created by their faculties whom the institution recruits and retains . 5 . Approach Even this if this learning launch tool does n't work , it was a learning experience , and I will still apply it by designing the following framework : Decision Making Framework : Role clarity alone is insufficient . Decision making clarity is also needed . Who takes which decision and how ? It is important to have protocols on areas where the promoters will drive decision making and areas where they will support / endorse decisions made by the professional . Only then is the Institutions ready to bring in an external professional in a senior leadership roles such as Dean ’s , Director ’s and Heads of the Departments . There are certain competencies that are common to good heads , irrespective of the institutional context – for example a strong drive for results , strategic thinking ability and the ability to lead and develop a large department . However , over and above these general leadership competencies , there are some traits that are core to Academic professionals who succeed and thrive in promoter led organizations .

I am an independent software developer . I have a hobby to make videos in which people are greeted when they reach a certain age ( 50 , 60 , etc ) and in those videos I use photos that I have arranged on my computer and others that other friends and family send me .
Given the high number of photos and videos that I have , I need a tool that allows me to know which people appear in them , in addition to needing other tags such as places and comments .
For this I am designing an application that does it automatically , with facial recognition capabilities .
For this I used visualization , in order to be able to reveal the possibilities of my product , beyond the initial need . It turned out to be key in showing and sharing what I was planning and allowed me to expand the possibilities . Since the problem was complex ( I saw it when I started to draw ) I needed several prototypes until I was able to capture and share the idea of what I needed to do .
In each of them , I added relevant characteristics , such as the place where the photo had been taken or the activity that was taking place . Even those that were not useful for this need were left in a kind of blog , to be developed later .
When applying the tool I noticed that I could combine it with other tools that I knew ( for example , UML diagrams ) and that it constituted a very strong base for the development of new ideas .
In future challenges , I think I should perform the same task with other design tools , such as mind maps , in order to achieve another type of perspective that allows me to improve certain functionalities and give a more technical tone to the solution .

Challenge & Selection
“ The visualization is a core component of the way we communicate and when we are dealing with problems , we are actually accepting a different kind of problem solving that has to bring in more than just logic . We are thinking about possibilities that we haven´t seen yet ” . These words impacted me and opened my eyes . Until now , I never thought about how changing the way I think and how solving problems with creativity could absolutely make everything easier when I am facing a problem . Teaching is not as easy as I first thought it would be . Everyday a new challenge appears and you have to find a way to solve it , one that you have n’t tried before . The world is changing and we see that now more than ever . Our education , jobs and life are different from what we thought they were going to be last year . As teachers , we need to use our creativity every day and sometimes you feel like the creativity box in your brain is just close and , as the time passes by , it gets harder and harder to find new solution to the everyday problems . That why being creative and thinking differently is key , no not only a key , is a need .
Application
The solutions that I thought were innovative then , are just common now . The resources keep the same but our thinking and creativity should n’t . Knowing that we ca n’t change the situation or the media that we use to teach is very helpful because that way , we can focus on the things that we can change and I think that is the most important step to take . Sometimes we put our energy in tasks or things that in reality are not necessary and all they do is hold us back from developing real solutions to the real problems or challenges that happen every day . Visualization is anything from the things we write to the images we draw or create in a presentation . Visualization allows us to access parts of our brain that we never thought we could get access to and that is exactly what we need to improve our teaching .
As a teacher , finding new activities and new strategies to teach a certain topic without the students getting bored by always using the resources that every teacher is using is surprisingly complex . Is something that we were not prepared for . So mastering basic elements of imagining spaces , situation and actions or movements is key to improving and coming with new ideas for teaching student from home .
First , I was determined to find what resources my students had in their houses . If I ask them for materials that they do n’t have and they have to buy them , they were going to not feel their best during the class and that would affect how they are going to engage in the activities and if they were going to learn or not . Working with what they already have was key and writing them down was the best way for keeping that in mind . Second , looking my students as individuals and not as a group helped me to imagine all the different options and activities I could do with them . Visualization helped me looking at all the options as a whole and understanding that not for every group the same activities are going to work and that in each class every student feels confident enough to engage completely and to be exited to learn so I should be always up for change .
Insight & Approach
Since I have been implementing visualization into my life , I have learned a lot of things about myself that I thought I could n’t be able to do or to manage . This specific challenge showed me that thinking differently is a must for growing and evolving with success . Opening your mind to new ideas that maybe you were not implementing them because they were scary to pursue , is really what is going to help you innovate . The students feel better , being home is hard enough for them so having a class which is different but effective has an impact , because now they see classes as a fun and crucial escape that has a positive outcome on them . When a new problem or challenge comes up , my mind is not limited to what has already been done because in this new teaching era not everything is already created implemented , in fact , I am able to develop insights and identify the variables that need to be solved to provide a new effective solution .
I have learned and experienced how changing your mindset and allowing yourself to think outside the box and use my imagination with no fear , is really useful in problem solving and this is something that not a lot of us think is possible . So , I am determined to visualize my thinking as the starting point not only for solving a problem , but to just develop any other activity a different way .

Reflection – Visualisation Challenge In my work as a leadership consultant , my team and I help companies that need change but do n’t know how to lead it ; the journey into the unknown . I work for clients and their high - educated young professionals in the professional services sector ; i.e. consultants , lawyers , accountants , sales professionals and marketeers . They are often not used to be asked what could be the ‘ what if situation ’ , they are more likely to be conditioned to know the ‘ right ’ answer . Selection I was working for a client , a big consultancy agency and I coached a young woman ; let ’s call her Alice . She and the rest of her peers got the order from management to set goals for the year and the goals had to contribute to a more business development focused office . I was asked to help each of them . Alice had a hard time in knowing how she wanted to grow in the coming year , develop goals accordingly , and make them business aligned . I choose to help her with using the Visualisation tool ( module 1 video 6 ) . I first helped her set the ‘ what is situation ’ and than help her through the ‘ What if situation ” . Finding your own person in goals to set is very important for intrinsic motivation reasons ; people that set goals that align with them personal are more likely to succeed .
Alice Alice is around 28 years old , pretty , a smart woman and we sat down in the conference room for her first meeting with me , she got me some water and we got started . She asked if this conversation was confidential and I told her yes . Than she talked for 20 straight minutes about what she did n’t wanted this year , what she hated about her job , it felt like she really needed this to get of her chest . She told me that she was tired . We really established the ‘ What is situation ’ at that point . Getting into the ‘ What if situation ’ was harder for her . That ’s where I used the visualisation .
Application Visualisation – ‘ What if ? ’ I asked her to look at the chair next to her and imagine herself 6 to 12 month ahead ; specifically an Alice who she liked and an Alice who was happy . I asked her to ‘ look ’ at this future Alice and imagine an Alice that is content with the steps she made in the last couple of months ( without specifically thinking about what those steps were ) . I asked her also how this Future Alice ( FA ) looked like and if there were other interesting things about her . I asked Alice if she liked the FA , and asked her how FA was behaving , did FA say something or do something , and what did FA think of all the things Alice wants etc . Alice went for it and described her in detail and answered the other questions . Then we talked about how this FA was different than herself ; what were the differences ? We boiled it down by describing a shortlist of personality traits and behaviours that were different . Insight Wow , this was amazing ! I saw Alice turning into a smiling person ; happy to share her vision and curious to find out how to work towards this ‘ what if situation ’ . Alice loved having Future Alice next to her . We made the personality and behavioural traits of FA the criteria for her goals . For example : one of the differences between Alice and FA was that FA was calmer than her ; and because of that FA had more peace to create ‘ real quality ’ in her work , whereas right now she felt that she worked hard to meet deadline after deadline not being able to catch her breath - often damaging the quality of her work . This criteria – make space for quality – became very important in setting one of her goals for the year . Reflection / Approach What I love about the visualisation tool is that I could bring Alice out of her usual way of thinking ; opening up for positive opportunities and possibilities . Because I helped her visualize and be in the lead off this self- assessment process she felt she was able to lead her own change too ( setting the goals ) , instead of me telling her what to do and have a one - time effect . This allowed us to work on a meta - level , not only helping her set the goals but giving her a tool that she too could use in the future when she would have to develop other goals . What I would do different next time is

1 ) I would also use Storytelling and ask her about creating a story about what she needs to get to her
Future Alice . Combining the visualisation with storytelling could really make it even more powerful ; it could create a roadmap to where she wants to go .
2 ) To use visualisation to describe more possible Future Alice ’s . We did n’t explore this thoroughly
enough because of time reasons . I think we could have gotten to even more magical , exiting possible Alice ’s . Because that is what visualisation can do , look beyond the beyond .

Challenge and Selection
The purpose of selecting the mind mapping technique was to understand how people choose which energy drink to buy . How to motivate them to buy a particular brand 's energy drink . Importance of brand while purchasing such products . Mind mapping as a tool helped me in understanding the motivation behind buying an energy drink and visually organizing information . Such products are pretty common among people who are health freaks . What factors will play a key role in motivating other people to consume this product and what are the preconceived notions of consuming such products could be directly connected to the central concept with the help of a mind map .
Application
I start the process by going to stores that keep energy drinks . Observing people who are buying or are standing near the aisle having these products . Every hour I change the environment a little to understand the importance of in - store factors that could affect the buying behavior . Sometimes going and talking to people acting like another buyer , visualizing the consumer 's reaction to the discount ads kept near the products , or asking consumers whether they would choose products that were with attractive packaging but expensive or a product that was simply packed and cheaper . These situations helped me in categorizing the customers as brand loyalists , value buyers , etc , and understand their respective buying behavior . Also going to places like the gym , parks , etc helped me to understand how these places influenced and distinguished the purchasing patterns of the consumers .
After this , I called and interviewed people who represented each buyer category to get more insights from them .
This step also becomes important to identify common attributes among the groups . Also , in the process I researched with the shop owners and their behavior towards storing out products over the competitors .
Insight and approach
The insight which I could gather during the process was that people who are health conscious go for products based on the nutritional info and at times they are the ones , who motivate people from the group to try these products . Value buyers go for products that are cheap and do not pay much importance to package or nutritional value , they do pay a tad bit importance to taste , if on consuming they do n’t like the taste , they may switch to the next best alternative , brand loyalists are people who buy the same brand every time or have the experience of using any product of that brand . The thing I would change in my current approach would be to talk more to the customers . Here is focused more on observing them .

Visualization or Visual Thinking was my first tool . This tool allowed us to come to a common understanding among diverse stakeholders . We then attempted to determine and propose solutions . I often use this approach with customers , government agencies , when they are trying to improve their mission or deliver services to non - citizens . I 've used the strawman visualization of a problem domain to help a variety of stakeholders learn from one another .
Application
I begin the process by making a straw man diagram of the problem area . I will use all existing materials to develop the strawman graphic . It could be any operational or procedural documentation , training materials , marketing material , GAO , or any other auditing report . If I do not have the material , I will conduct informal interviews with the key stakeholders .
If appropriate to the situation , I will borrow the concept to " front - stage / back - stage " from previous research , and discussed in David Gray 's book , " The Connected Company " . The front - stage / back - stage approach helps to reinforce the notion that every service - even an internal service - has customers with whom the service provider interacts and internal processes that enable the organization to provide the service . The template that I use to start is simple and has a column to identify Value Chain Providers and Partners . A column to identify Oversight Organizations ( such as Congress , GAO , labor unites , advocacy groups and other entities that could limit the operation of the organization ) is also included . The strawman graphic is very simple and uses icons and shapes available in Visio . If the front - stage / back - stage view does n't work , then I will create a different type of visual , either based on a high - level process flow with swim lanes for different stakeholders , or another format .
I will break the stakeholders down into groups of between 5 - 6 people , each representing an area of expertise or organization . Each group will receive a poster - sized version of the strawman graphic . They can use sticky notes or write directly on it . I ask them two to three questions . For example , what key elements are missing from this graphic ? 2 ) What would you make the graphic more accurate to reflect your problem area ? What key insights are you able to share about the relationships between entities within your problem space ? I allow them to discuss the questions for approximately 20 minutes and then mark up their poster . Each group is then asked to answer the three questions and to point to their posters . I then record the commonalities between the groups ' insights and the additional insights from the group discussion , on an additional copy . I then digitize the posters of each group as artifacts , combine the new and shared insights from the group discussion and create a revised graphic . This includes their feedback and any proposed changes .
Approach
Through this exercise , I 've learned that the graphic , and especially the updated graphic that incorporates their feedback is very important in helping them understand the problem . But the most valuable part of the activity is their shared insights .
There is space . The graphic offers a common platform for discussion among stakeholders . It allows them to exchange their opinions and gain insight into the root causes of their problems . Although they could work together to create the graphic , it is easier for them to start by creating a strawman . They can quickly identify their place in the graphic , or where they are not . This allows them to gain quick insights into relationships between key entities and is quicker than taking time . They can also identify variables in a problem space . It helps them to identify the areas where they are lacking information , and the areas in which they need data or information to give the variables their values .
As I have discovered that the most important aspect of learning and sharing ideas is the shared insight , I plan to use the visualization exercise as a point of departure for several design thinking activities . The revised graphic that incorporates their collective feedback can then be used as a reference throughout their work .

The front - stage / back - stage approach helps to reinforce the notion that every service - even an internal service - has customers with whom the service provider interacts and internal processes that enable the organization to provide the service . The template that I use to start is simple and has a column to identify Value Chain Providers and Partners . A column to identify Oversight Organizations ( such as Congress , GAO , labor unites , advocacy groups and other entities that could limit the operation of the organization ) is also included . The strawman graphic is very simple and uses icons and shapes available in Visio . If the front - stage / back - stage view does n't work , then I will create a different type of visual , either based on a high - level process flow with swim lanes for different stakeholders , or another format .
I will break the stakeholders down into groups of between 5 - 6 people , each representing an area of expertise or organization . Each group will receive a poster - sized version of the strawman graphic . They can use sticky notes or write directly on it . I ask them two to three questions . For example , what key elements are missing from this graphic ? 2 ) What would you make the graphic more accurate to reflect your problem area ? What key insights are you able to share about the relationships between entities within your problem space ? I allow them to discuss the questions for approximately 20 minutes and then mark up their poster . Each group is then asked to answer the three questions and to point to their posters . I then record the commonalities between the groups ' insights and the additional insights from the group discussion , on an additional copy . I then digitize the posters of each group as artifacts , combine the new and shared insights from the group discussion and create a revised graphic . This includes their feedback and any proposed changes .
Approach
Through this exercise , I 've learned that the graphic , and especially the updated graphic that incorporates their feedback is very important in helping them understand the problem . But the most valuable part of the activity is their shared insights .
There is space . The graphic offers a common platform for discussion among stakeholders . It allows them to exchange their opinions and gain insight into the root causes of their problems . Although they could work together to create the graphic , it is easier for them to start by creating a strawman . They can quickly identify their place in the graphic , or where they are not . This allows them to gain quick insights into relationships between key entities and is quicker than taking time . They can also identify variables in a problem space . It helps them to identify the areas where they are lacking information , and the areas in which they need data or information to give the variables their values .
As I have discovered that the most important aspect of learning and sharing ideas is the shared insight , I plan to use the visualization exercise as a point of departure for several design thinking activities . The revised graphic that incorporates their collective feedback can then be used as a reference throughout their work .

Challenge
Our challenge is to re - think and re - create the Recruitment process and simplify it without losing its objectivity and also improving the candidate experience as a strategy to build employer brand . I am a part of the Human Resources team at my company and I was tasked with the responsibility of redesigning our Recruitment process . This was preceded by months of feedback gathering from previous job seekers who have shown interest in working with us or have gone through our Recruitment process .
Selection
The tool I selected for the project is the visualization tool . This tool was selected because it is the most suitable tool to clearly depict what the existing recruitment process is and identify gaps that can be filled . It was also very useful in depicting the various versions of the Recruitment process that was birthed from brain storming sessions and helped the project team see ‘ ‘ what works ’’ and ‘ ‘ what wows ’’ so as to solve our challenge of an unmemorable Recruitment process . The Good Kitchen Story also made reference to this tool as it was used to prototype the different solutions that came forth from the ‘ ‘ what if ’’ workshops .
Application
We collated data from the feedback gathered from prospective employees who went through our Recruitment process or had experienced a touch point of our process . We were able to depict in a process flow chart from start to finish what the process currently is and created new process flows incorporating improvements from feedback , new technology , new ideas , and new Recruitment methods / tools . The visualization tool through a process flow chart was very effective in helping us see how the candidate moves along the process from start to finish .
Insight
Through the use of the tool , the project team was able to see clearly what the process was and could quickly suggest ideas to make the process more memorable . The tool made the existing process and new ideas more real and relatable . Personally , I could see how we had been going by with a process that was n’t simple and enjoyable for applicants and could understand why we had some negative feedback . Going through solving the challenge helped me look at the challenge from a human perspective . It helped me put myself in that shoes of the job applicants who would want a simple process , flexible interview options , and prompt feedback .
Approach
If I was faced with a similar challenge or could solve this problem differently , I would use the Storytelling tool . This is because I believe we can create a compelling story that showcases the experience of a typical candidate who goes through our process and also sell how the current process is more dangerous to the employer brand . Business leaders and major stakeholders will want to invest to protect their brand . Storytelling will help us sell the solution in the most compelling and relatable manner .

Challenge and Selection
As a Consultant for Learning , I deal mostly with mass changes and further implementation of software , ways of working , new training needs , among other things . When working with the “ big ” Clients , the expression “ one - size - fits - all ” needs to be put aside , because there are people from all over the world with different backgrounds , different knowledge scopes , totally different levels of computer - savviness and motivations .
The selection of Storytelling for one of my eLearning projects came from the need of a more appealing and compelling training for the new software being implemented in this Client ’s company as It makes it relatable , It gives strategy color , and life in character and plot . Why did I choose Storytelling as the tool to develop it ? It was mainly due to the fact that after all the training - needs- analysis phase of the project was completed , the central verdict was that the inequalities among the workers were too hefty which made us decide to create more than one eLearning for the same topic in order to keep everyone engaged , taking into consideration the different needs and motivations .
Application
It was settled that for the Customer Care team I would use Storytelling eLearning by creating the stories of personas ( characters ) and their daily lives . This would make the workers feel relatable and less prompt to get bored by the content .
For the purpose , we gathered the results of their interviews and tests , and created the profile of 5 virtual personas to use in the course . For each and every character I have designed a different routine and role to play in the course . What all these characters had in common was the fact that they were Customer Care workers and we used the picture of some headphones and desk as a prop to indicate this .
So , the content of the eLearning was pretty heavy and complex , it had to do with a new software being implemented in the whole company and the workers ought to learn how to use it in record speed time . I ’ve described the life of these workers from the moment that they would leave their houses to head to work until the moment they would leave the office to go home . I have based the content of the Storytelling eLearning on the different backgrounds and cultural specifications reflected on their interviews and made it as interactive as possible , describing persona - journeys .
Insight and Approach
What initially seemed to be a simple task – preparing an eLearning that teaches the workers how to use a software – turned out to be a much more complex one in which Storytelling tool played a pivotal role to engage and motivate .
The workers of this department said that they even entered the course more than once and never had so much fun in completing an eLearning . All in all , they are now fully aware of how to use the new software and Storytelling allowed not only for them to feel relatable to something while learning , but also for the Company in general to experience a much smoother mass transition .
What would I do different next time ? Maybe using Storytelling eLearning for all the departments instead of just this one . Customer Care department felt engaged and involved in the process from the very beginning and the results reflected it , they passed the quiz at first , they entered the course
more than once and speedily learned how to use the software and return to the course every time a question would arise . There were some departments in which the result was quite different , and the users are still struggling with this software change , not willing to take the eLearning once again . Why is that ? Because I assumed that they were more computer - savvy who would n’t need a persona- based eLearning to feel engaged . I was wrong . Next time I am facing a mass implementation as this one I will most probably create a Storytelling eLearning for all the departments , only diversifying the personas ( characters ) included and their journeys , to fulfill each department need .

Challenge
I am a master student in entrepreneurship and I have a small business of mills , my challenge was that my business was not improving as I wanted to increase our area of location and also our way of working to be closer to our customers . In order to overcome this challenge , we needed to understand our customers more and found out what they expect from us , but also to make the employees more aware of our goals and see together how we can achieve them .
Selection
As the design thinking is a problem solving approach , that 's where the visualization as a design thinking tool came into play . The visualization tool is better for to achieve a sense of agreement and consensus with my employees and get things done as for to resolve my challenges , employees had to understand me and align their ideas with mine and it is better when we 're looking at customers and we 're looking at new user segments . My small business have used other design thinking tools like mind mapping tool when we wanted to collect information for the challenge of the best and strategic location for our business .
Application
I started by taking a day where I divided the employees into two groups where the first group accompanied and observed the clients from their home to our workplace , observe how the other group works , ask questions to the clients so that they can share their experience . The next day , as it was two groups of 15 employees each , each group made a presentation of yesterday 's day after I mixed the two and made three groups of 10 employees to exchange on the observations made by each group before and I encouraged them to try to see what was missing and that everyone contributed in the exchange .
Each group made a presentation of the outcome of the exchange made . The exchange took 1hour and they prepared together the presentation . All the presentation have been done by using photography to explain what they want to say , diagrams , power point with color on key points and so on .
After those two part of presentation , we discussed together by trying to understand together our customers , what we miss within our business for to meet goals , in which area our services are needed , we discussed by using charts , diagrams , symbols , power point with color on key points and so on .
Insight
By applying the visualization tool , we have found that that the service offered to our clients should be improved , be more welcoming , and be closer to them by developing empathy between us . Start work an hour earlier but also open another work point close to our customers to reduce the waiting line and be closer to those who come from far away .
The visualization tool proved to be effective even if the expected results are not the ones we found . We have thought that we need to expand our area of working but we found out that we need to exploit more the area we are in .
Approach
As I and my employees have seen the merits of design thinking especially this visualization tool in which our team came out more united , understanding more where we are heading , ready to implement the insights gained to improve our performance .

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

If the front - stage / back - stage view does n’t work , then I will create a different type of visual , either based on a high - level process flow with swim lanes for different stakeholders , or another format .
For the activity , I will divide the stakeholders into groups of 5 - 6 participants each representing a different organization or area of interest . Each group receives a poster - size copy of the straw man graphic that they can write on directly , or use sticky notes to make comments . I give them two - three questions to answer , such as : 1 ) What key elements are missing from the graphic ? 2 ) What would you change about the graphic to make it more accurately reflect your problem space ? 3 ) What key insights do you have about the relationships between the entities in your problem space ? I give them approximately 20 minutes to discuss the questions and mark up the graphic . Then I have each group report out on their answers to those three questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their poster . As each group reports out , I record commonalities in the insights of each group , and then additional
insights that come from the group discussion on an additional copy of the graphic . After the session , I digitize each group ’s poster as an artifact , create a view that combines the shared and new insights from the group discussion , and then create a revised graphic that incorporates their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group .
Insight & Approach
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 . 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 .

Challenge
I am an HRBP & OD Manager at a desalination and water treatment organization . we are spread over 5 different geographies . Within my responsibilities are the complete training and development of our ~450 employees worldwide . Organizational development holds many different areas . For this assignment I focused on the managers development program , which I build based on my own agenda , OD trends that I collect , and statements regarding performance from managers in our routine meetings , or from the performance management review process .
Managers Development programs usually try to gather the employees and not only teach them techniques but to become a group of associates , that opens about managerial issues and dilemmas . In the current state that gathering is banned creating a 6 meetings program seems unreal .
Selection
I decided to try a learning launch . with all the data I collected , after my team gathered and thought together what our possibilities are , I decided to try a first session for our Team Leaders that will be on - line and will try to achieve our managers development goals .
Application
I set a date and scheduled the meeting . Found a sales and marketing manager to share a case study regarding decision making . We built the presentation together by colliding the theoretical background with the actual way decisions are made in my company . Exploring our GO - NO - GO procedure .
Instead of a serious of meetings I built just the learning launch . Tried to set specific slides for queries so that people will not be silent during this session and they will have to participate .
When the session started , I asked all participants to turn their cameras on , and explained that although it ’s an online session this is n’t a lecture . And I expect them to share and participate as they would have done in a regular gathering .
Design Thinking for Innovation by University of Virginia Final Assignment by Anna Russo July 19 , 2020 Insight
I think that by taking this learning launch I got out of the freeze situation that is very present in the learning and development zone .
Having to switch to on - line approaches is n’t easy and made me build this session in a different way then I ’m used to . It took a lot of thinking how to keep it short- since people are bored easily sitting in front of the computer , interesting- by switching between theory and real life on every aspect , and engaging so that people will actively participate and form a meaningful group of people . This worked great and gave me a lot of courage to try do things in different and new ways .
Approach
I think I ’ll have more courage next time and I will try to take the participants to the next level of participating by giving them to lead some of the meeting , make them prepare materials and create an on - line discussion that is even deeper . The course made me realize that there is n’t just one way of doing things and that there is more then what we are used to . Allowing myself to think in a more holistic way , collecting the data in order to gather a new perception is what I take with me in order to enlarge that picture more and more .

Challenge
I use the tool of Visualization , to achieve a shared understanding of a problem space along
with other team members and the stakeholders involved . I use this tool for a school project
that aims to develop an innovative product for seniors .
Selection
I use this tool to implement techniques such as using a multi - issue visualization with a set of
questions or suggestions for discussion to allow a diverse group of stakeholders to learn
from each other in the process of defining the key elements of the project , such as their
scope and limits , as well as being able to identify opportunity areas and solutions to the
project ’s problem because , as Angela Myer says : “ getting in the habit of doing visualization
is actually a way of cultivating that side of our brain work . ”
Application
The project starts by focusing on investigating some basic things seniors think they need
and do not have . Interviewing stakeholders ( customers / seniors ) is another way to gather the
information to find a solution to a problem . With one - five of the stakeholders who serve as
our main points of contact on the initiative . Interviews are going to be informal interviews .
There , we can ask them about some kinds of problem or problems they have had by doing
some activities and also ask them what kind of products they would like to use as a solution
to a problem or problems .
With the information stakeholders gave us , we could use templates to present that
information in some order . With that done , we can also create illustrative scenarios for a
better understanding of each stakeholder 's cases .
With the assistance of creative and innovative tools , such as templates or software , like
images and other representations , we can offer a better way to transmit our ideas of what
the final products will be .
Insight
By applying the visualization tool , I developed my creativity and nonverbal thinking . Also , I
learned to use design apps in a way I could never imagine before . It also reinforced how I
work with other people , how to organize and prioritize my responsibilities , and it showed me I
could get out of my comfort zone . At last , it helped me to start thinking systematically , and
this one last thing is related to the career I 'm studying .
Approach
I 'd read more articles and more books about design thinking activities since it is my first time
working with design thinking tools . Finally , I would use the visualization tool for the first part
of the process again , but for the next time , I would make more use of the other tools along
with the visualization tool to have a better starting process .

Challenge & Selection
I was working on the flagship project of the socio - entrepreneurship organisation of my university . The problem we were dealing with was that of ill management of solid waste in India . What sparked us to do something tangible about it was a landfill collapse that caused death of a dozen ‘ underprivileged ’ people who picked up recyclable waste and lived close to the location of landfill . We realized the impact of it is , deep and multi - dimensional . We conducted a research , the major takeaway of which was that maximum amount ( up to 50 % ) of waste was organic kitchen waste which can easily be treated at home via a simple age - old technique , composting . We thought , that is it . We just have to make composters and the major part of the problem will be solved . What we realized after one - to - one human conversations with the consumers and manufacturers is that more than the problem of waste management itself , we have to deal with a behavioural change that is difficult to embrace for the entire human race . And during one of these one to one conversation with a 63 - year old lady , we realised that to drive this change we need to weave a story around why it is so important to do compost our own greens . Application
We had these two lines of products , the community composter for the horticulture waste and home composter for the kitchen greens . The community composter was being manufactured by small scale ironsmith industries and the home composter was a 3 - tier terracotta pot structure manufactured by potter ’s community in Delhi whose business was fast declining due to more durable plastic alternatives . For the home composter , the consumers were sceptical about this extra load of work in their already busy life schedules and for the community composting , the community gardener could n’t see any incentive doing this extra work at the same wage . What we finally did was start this , ‘ Reconnecting with Roots ’ campaign wherein we wove this story through fun interactive activities on how composting has been a part of our culture since times immemorial , additionally , taking care of the environment we live in is our own personal responsibility . Adding to this the traditional terracotta pots with beautiful traditional art sparked interest in art collectors and revived another form of art which was fast declining . Insight and Approach
What I learned by weaving a story around the product line and the company was :
1 ) People started to look at the task of composting as a duty and not an ‘ extra load of work ’ . 2 ) The community gardeners started to have a better sense of respect both from within and by
the society for the noble work they did . This was in addition to the extra income they received by selling the organic manure from composting the horticultural waste .
3 ) Reviving the art of pottery and local painting instilled the sense of importance and
confidence in local artists .
4 ) Composting soon became a status symbol in many neighbourhoods and those who did not
do it was looked down upon .
5 ) Selling a product can not be a success unless you prove its worth in the consumer ’s life and
make space for its utility in the story of their day - to - day life . And thus , what we decided to sell on is an wholesome and enriching composting experience .
To conclude , what a customer looks at when he / she wants to but the product is not only how far and efficiently is it solving the problem but also how much the providers of the product and the product itself care about the problem and those affected by it . All in all , the vision of the company is itself a story that speaks loud of how much you care about its stakeholders . This can also be clearly seen in the Good Kitchen Story .

Challenge
I am a Transformation Program Manager working with Company A which specialises in patent management . Patent management is a governance - led administrative process which ensures patents stay validly registered so that inventors continue to reap the rewards of their work . Company A acquired Company B last year . Company B is a start - up specialising in patent search . Patent search uses sophisticated AI technology to search for patent infringements so that inventors can protect their work .
Company A employed 500 people and had a culture based on deep knowledge of customer needs and strong process expertise . Company B had 100 employees , many of whom were self - confessed technology geeks . Integrating the two companies would open up a high - growth market but there was concern that the two organisations would not understand or equally respect each other ’s contribution . The challenge was how to blend two very different cultures starting with creating a new integrated leadership team .
Selection
I decided to use visualization as a design thinking tool to help create a metaphor for the combined leadership team . This is part of the ‘ what is ’ process and I chose it because , as Angela Myer states in the Visualization Tool lecture , visualization encourages a different type of problem solving to just logic . It stimulates the right - hand side of the brain , encourages creativity and alignment .
Application
The new leadership team had 8 people from Company A and 2 from Company B. I divided them into two groups ensuring a mix of representatives on each team . and gave them boxes of cards with images on them . They were asked to choose images of the merger that resonated with the group and to then explain their choice to the rest of the group . One team came up with the metaphor of a beach for the combined company and it generated the most excitement in subsequent discussions . Company A were the lifeguards keeping everyone ( inventors ) on the beach safe and Company B were the search and rescue divers using helicopters ( search algorithms ) to locate people further out in the sea in need of help . What they most liked about it was that both lifeguards and divers were clearly valuable and prized . They then came up with the idea of having a monthly company - wide beach bar - b - q to bond , share information and highlight what had been done to keep people ( inventors ) safe that month .
Insight
The use of visualisation techniques led to a willingness to experiment and the atmosphere became more open and fun . Enabling the team to create their own metaphor led to increased buy - in and empowerment for the future of the company . They bonded around a shared concept of protecting and saving the interests of inventors and even innovation itself .
Approach
The plan had been to present the results of the visualisation to second level management using power - point and a town hall discussion . However , having seen that the leadership team got the most learning out of the shared experiential nature of selecting images and creating a metaphor , I agreed with them that we would instead enable their direct reports to have their own shared
experiential learning . I did this by setting up a room with high level visualisations of the beach metaphor and then letting the 2nd level senior management team add their own ideas to it . This helped them to understand the part both companies played and to embed their own feeling of the merged company . I would use the visualisation technique again because it works to encourage collaboration , create energy and fun , cut through resistance and help people to think out of the box .

I would use the visualisation technique again because it works to encourage collaboration , create energy and fun , cut through resistance and help people to think out of the box .

I am working in a Defense R&D industry in which deep expertise gained in a certain field is required to perform the task . Although , these deep expertise are an asset to the company yet it comes with a certain risk of skills obsolescence due to the ever - changing defense landscape . Any skills or technology might be irrelevant as the threat around the world is moving towards “ grey zone ” conflicts and becoming more complex .
As a result , I was tasked to lead a team to explore new opportunities on the problem of skill obsolescence . The first few meetings were tough as no one seems to agree with the problem statement of skill obsolescence . Every team members were from different department that were striving and growing .
Using Visualisation tool ( such as visual thinking , visual understanding and diagrammatic representation ) during alignment / exploration stage helps us to ( 1 ) understand the problem better and ( 2 ) achieve a common understanding of the problem among diverse group of team members . Visualisation also comes in handy during concepts development and stakeholders interview process . For instances , during the stakeholders interview process , I have used the technique of using a stick man / diagrams / chart / graph to represent the current “ What is ? ” ( an employee who is facing skill obsolescence ) and follow by illustrating potential “ What if ? ” situations with a set of discussion questions for the stakeholders to ( 1 ) appreciate the current situation ( defining the problem boundaries ) , ( 2 ) ponder upon the possibilities and ( 3 ) provoke more questions on how to get it works . This gives us more insights and feedbacks on what the stakeholders were concerned and most importantly , to assure us that this is really an issue that the stakeholders are truly interested to resolve .
Application
The following is the process that my team and I have tried to use the visualisation technique at different phrases of the project :
1 ) Getting the team members to align on the problem statement - ( What is ? )
The most critical part of the project is to get the team to understand and align our thinking on the potential skill obsolescence issue . I suggested to use drawings ( in the form of diagrams , stick man and pictures ) to represent the answer for the following 2 questions : 1 ) What are the major expertise that individual department had built over the years ? 2 ) What are the current challenges that our customer in the defence ecosystem faced ? From the diagrams that I presented , the team started to discuss and add on their pictures to the whiteboard . This activity took approximately 2 hours and finally , all of us understood the issue and started to achieve consensus among the team members . We started to arrange the drawings to find patterns and relationship in the issues as well as the different stakeholders . This visualisation activity lead us to identify the different categories of stakeholders using pictures that we printed from the company intranet : ( 1 ) Influencer / sponsor ( major stakeholder like the CEO and the department directors ) , ( 2 ) User ( employee facing potential skill obsolescence ) , ( 3 ) Providers / Supporters ( back - end staff : HR , directors , admin executive ) and ( 4 ) fence - sitters ( people who might be against the idea or not participate in this project ) .
2 ) Stakeholder 1st Interview - appreciate the current What is ?
I will discuss 2 of the many stakeholders ’ interview ( ( 1 ) employees facing the potential skill obsolescence issue and ( 2 ) Directors of the striving department ) that I have conducted . For the employees that faced the potential skill obsolescence issue , they started to share their current situation / issue , fear for the future , frustration about the company process and so many more . I have literary use diagrams and pictures from the internet to rate the different level of feeling / anxiety / frustration that they were facing . From there , I have truly understand their real pain - point and empathise / connect with them using pictures . For the directors in the striving department , stick man diagram do n’t really connect with them well . I adapted and started to use charts / diagrams and graph to illustrate the issues faced by other non - striving department . These were much more effective to communicate with them . After the directors had visualised the issues , they shared their concerns about sponsoring / piloting this project . Surprisingly , they also started to use simple diagrams and flowchart to illustrate some important workflow and other stakeholders in the company that I had missed out .
3 ) Brainstorming opportunities , exploring possibilities - What if ?
Once we have conducted all the identified stakeholders interviews , we gathered in a meeting room and started to sketch diagrams , pasting photographs , writing and pasting post - it notes on the whiteboard . After feeding the big whiteboard with all the necessary information / pictures and diagrams , we started re - arranging the information to explore different concepts , ideas and opportunities for growth . I recorded the different possibilities , insights and the main obstacles in achieving the possibilities . For each possibilities identified , we created a PowerPoint slide with simple and understandable diagrams and pictures to engage our stakeholders and share with them the possibilities .
4 ) 2nd round of interview- Engaging stakeholders
In this round , we gave each stakeholders post - it notes to make comments and also for answering the following questions : ( 1 ) What do you like ( green post - it)/dislike ( pink post - it ) about the concepts presented ? ( 2 ) Is there any change you would like to make ? ( orange post- it ) ( 3 ) Any missing information ? ( blue post - it ) ( 4 ) Any insights that you would like to share ? ( yellow post - it ) . We gave them roughly 20 mins after each presentation to make the necessary comments . After completed the 2nd round of interview , we shared the insights and made adjustment to the plan in order for the major sponsor stakeholder to pilot the project with us .
Insight and Approach
Visualisation is a powerful tool in engaging team members and stakeholders as it helps to reinforce alignment on the issues and concepts , draw attention on the diagram and visualise the next move for the project . I was surprised that some stakeholders were being influenced by the diagrams and started stretching their own diagrams to explain their current situation and their wish for the future . From the discussions , our team had gained valuable insights in the problem definition , root causes of the issue , relationship between the different stakeholders and also opportunities for growth and improvement .
The key thing that I have learnt is that everyone is always shy to draw or display / present their diagrams first . Once someone started to share his / her diagrams , the discussion will be much more smooth-
sailing . With this insight , I will surely make a point to start sharing my drawings first to trigger more valuable sharing and discussion .
Another thing that I learnt is that when handling different stakeholders ( as mentioned previously in the 1st interview process ) , different types of diagrams works well for them . Stick man is not the only drawing for visualisation process . Simple diagrams , graph and pictures are also a good form of visualisation tool that I can use .
I have also discovered that visualisation is an iterative process and there is a need to engage the stakeholders multiple times to seek clarification and agreement on the problem definition and the opportunities for growth . The insights and feedback gained from the 1st round of interview can be used to improve the initial diagrams and serve as a new centerpiece for discussion in the next few meetings .
Finally , pattern finding after exploration is another key element that I need to practise on , as putting many information / diagrams together to see their connections is not an easy task . If pattern finding process is done right , it helps to ( 1 ) display connection between different stakeholders , ( 2 ) connect every element of the issues and eventually discover opportunities for growth and improvement .

Challenge
My challenge was that I had to found this new society on creativity , leadership , innovation and design .
Therefore , I had to convince people in my college that it was a good idea and I would gain their
participation with this way . So , long story short , I had to influence people along the foundation of this
creative society . Among with that , there were other stakeholders such as society ’s collaborative
companies and college management .
Selection
When it comes to affecting and influencing people under your organization , in my opinion , there is no
better choice then storytelling . I have a story to tell them about why the existing societies are not as
good as they should be , and there is no society that would excel students ’ soft skills . If you want to
create , you need to create . You can not just listen to people who create and then become a creator
yourself . This idea led to turn my thoughts to a story then to tell people . Some say storytelling have
four P ’s : People , Place , Plot , and Purpose . Therefore , I chose storytelling to be able to show these
aspects .
Application
Before assembling people together for the board of this society , I have took them one by one and spoke
privately with each . Emotional branding is the key point in here for society and I have tried that . Each
individual was from different disciplines , because this society is a multidisciplinary one . Hence , I aimed
for their needs and how this society can have benefits for their faculty as well . Apart from that , our
collaborative companies had their needs as well . After all , it must be a win - win relationship and I told
our story according to that . I explained the benefits of cooperation with telling stories . People had to
chance to show empathy with this storytelling applications and were all eager to participate in it .
Insight
Applying this tool really showed me that systematic and emotional approach when it comes to using
storytelling works wonderful . Showing empathy to people ’s needs and influencing them using design
thinking has many benefits . Apart from that I gained experience with my story each time I told it then
each time I did better at telling it .
Approach
I would apply this tool for a similar case because I saw that people needs to start with “ why ? ” instead
of what . In addition , I was able to create complexity in their heads and then solve it by answering with
storytelling .
Another tools like visualization and mind mapping is actually applied with this method too but they
were n’t directly . I might consider using mind mapping more directly too because mind map is a diagram
used to visually organize information . A mind map is hierarchical and shows relationships among pieces
of the whole . Which would benefit my explanation of the society to other people .

Challenge & Selection
As part of my Chemical Engineering undergraduate program , I participated in a year long research adventure that consisted in developing a self - heating patch that could rapidly increase its temperature and last longer than those available in the market . Although many versions already existed , the available products lacked the complete set of prerequisites we were looking for .
At first our research seemed straight forward . There was information , data , and analytics readily available that helped us narrow down our product options from the start . We had the materials , patch shape and list of experiments we wanted to run before building an initial prototype . Our first mistake was exactly that , a lengthy list of assumptions and no prototype . We started our research based on an initial list , which only yielded poor results .
This is where the Launch Learning technique came into the picture . By using Launch Learning and continuously use it to build prototypes , we were able to hypothesize , test and implement solutions to validate our ideas .
Application
When the Launch Learning process began , we focused on execution . The first idea we tested was the heart of the product , the chemicals . We tried new combinations of chemicals that we thought could still get us to the required temperature . After trying a couple of options , one finally worked . This validated our theory that there were many ways to generate heat using different products from those originally prescribed . Then , we chose the composition of materials that reached the desired temperature . This first outcome confirmed that Launch Learning worked and that we should continue to apply it to further refine our product .
Even though we had successfully chosen the base chemicals , we still could not get the heat to last as long as we needed it to . Therefore , we decided to focus on a new idea ; changing the structure . We created multiple prototypes to determine how structure impacted the performance of the product . The prototypes had various geometric figures and sizes to ensure a comprehensive evaluation . The tests proved that shape indeed influenced how heat was transmitted and how it limited the speed . In the end , we were able to select the most optimal structure for our product .
Insight & Approach
Results speak . We were able to develop a new product that surpassed market standards and patent it . In hindsight , we would have saved a lot of time if we had leveraged Launch Learning earlier instead of leaning so heavily on our original assumptions . We thought data was going to be our ally , but instead it limited ourselves to think narrowly .
In this scenario , the Launch Learning technique is appropriate and necessary . In other instances we could run multiple experiments in parallel to test ideas of different nature ( e.g. , Prototype A testing chemicals and Prototype B testing structure ) instead of executing them sequentially . That way we can validate multiple theories simultaneously and then review the outcomes , gain insight and use this new information to create products that are much closer to the desired solution .
Applying Launch Learning strategies saves time . We focused on testing small changes to yield fast results and pivoted our ideas as we disproved concepts . By changing our mentality and approach , our team learned how to tackle similar issues in other projects . In fact , it continues to impact the way that I personally tackle problems today . Even though I work in a corporate environment , I believe the best outcomes have been achieved by launching products in a smaller scale and proving if they indeed satisfy our clients ’ needs .

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

| ### Task: You are a PII (Personal Identity Information) Detection. Given a essays written by students, you have to identify ONLY the following:
NAME_STUDENT - The full or partial name of a student that is not necessarily the author of the essay. This excludes instructors, authors, and other person names.
EMAIL - A student’s email address.
USERNAME - A student's username on any platform.
ID_NUM - A number or sequence of characters that could be used to identify a student, such as a student ID or a social security number.
PHONE_NUM - A phone number associated with a student.
URL_PERSONAL - A URL that might be used to identify a student.
STREET_ADDRESS - A full or partial street address that is associated with the student, such as their home address.
### Input: Challenge & Selection The first tool I used was the tool of Visualization , or Visual Thinking , to achieve a shared understanding of a problem space among a diverse group of stakeholders before attempting to identify and define possible solutions to the problem . I use this approach often with our customers , who are government agencies working to apply technology innovations to modernize their mission or the delivery of their services to their customer , which may be U.S. citizens , businesses , and non - citizens . I have used the technique of using a straw man visualization of a problem domain with a set of questions or prompts for discussion to allow a diverse group of stakeholders to learn from each other in the process of defining the scope , boundaries , key elements , and relationships between elements to consider when identifying pain points and opportunities for improvements or solutions . Application I start the process by creating a straw man graphic of the problem domain . To develop the straw man graphic , I will draw from any existing material available to understand the environment . The existing material may be operational or procedural documents , training materials , marketing materials , GAO or other auditing reports . If materials are not available , then I conduct informal interviews with one - three of the stakeholders who serve as my main points of contact on the initiative . If appropriate to the situation , I will borrow the concept to “ front - stage / back - stage ” from previous research , and discussed in David Gray ’s book , “ The Connected Company ” . The front - stage / back - stage approach helps to reinforce the notion that every service – even an internal service – has customers with whom the service provider interacts and internal processes that enable the organization to provide the service . The template I often start with also has a column on the left to identify Partners and Value Chain Providers and a column on the right to identify Oversight Organizations , such as Congress , GAO , labor unions , advocacy groups , and other entities that may add constraints to how the organization operates . The straw man graphic is simple , using simple shapes and icons available in Visio or on the Internet . If the front - stage / back - stage view does n’t work , then I will create a different type of visual , either based on a high - level process flow with swim lanes for different stakeholders , or another format .

After the session , I digitize each group ’s poster as an artifact , create a view that combines the shared and new insights from the group discussion , and then create a revised graphic that incorporates their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group .
