Challenge :
The company I work for is a service provider ( electricity savings ) to the biggest retailer in South Africa , Teetly . I was recently promoted to manager of the company and attended the monthly meeting with Teetly . In the meeting two things became apparent to me :
1 . We had allowed competitors in our industry to gain traction within Teetly . 2 . Our complacency over the past 24month period led to a loss in confidence in our services .
The challenge , in short , is restoring our image within Teetly and rethinking the way we go about providing our service .
Selection :
The first tool I opted for out of the design thinking repertoire was Storytelling . I feel that Storytelling as a tool can go hand in hand with visualization , but for the purpose of this assignment I will focus on only storytelling .
Storytelling , to me , is one of the most important skills touched on in this course . It allows you to colour in the space between a challenge and data . Storytelling allows you to “ sell ” the obstacle , the solution , the idea . It gives you the chance to provide your colleagues with a lens through which they can view a challenge . It translates business strategy to a language every employee can understand .
I opted to use storytelling because of the size of the challenge . I knew addressing it would require company buy in .
Application :
The first step for me was to get all the relevant parties together in one place . This took place in the form of a company meeting . In this meeting I started painting the picture of how our image within Teetly has deteriorated . I brought in the fact that our competition was gaining on us . I stressed the magnitude of the problem . This lead to a discussion of the problem and the actual definition thereof .
I then proposed a solution to the problem . The storytelling approach however allowed me to give my colleagues a taste of what things could be like if we succeed in meeting our challenge . I could feel the excitement , it was a great feeling .
This meeting led to the month of May being dubbed Teetly month . This involves rethinking our whole approach to providing a service , from official company documentation to solving client related queries and problems .
Insight :
I think the main insight I got from applying storytelling to solving a currently company problem is that there is more to business than numbers and data . People are seldomly excited by raw figures . They need something more , something greater than a NPV calculation or another budget . People want purpose , storytelling allows you to take company strategy and turn it into company culture and purpose . Storytelling helps taking the company from its current situation ( what is ) to its future ( what wows ) position . It truly is a powerful tool .
Approach :
Being my first time trying it , I would definitely change a few things . Firstly , I would spend more time analysing the current position . I would try and understand the current situation a little better . I think a better grip of the “ what is ” phase will lead to a better end product .
Secondly , I would use a bit of visualization to help carry across the message . I think storytelling and visualization go well together .
Lastly , I would be more confident in the process . Very few problems do n’t have solutions .

Challenge
I am part of Release and deployment department in my organization and my / our challenge is to improve the workflow ( activities and steps ) within the organization in order to reduce the release and deployment cycle time for the applications . The project scope includes the Release & Deployment department and other department was well i.e. Business & IT department with whom we work closely . The project duration was planned for 60 days durations keeping in mind the multitude of departments involved in the project . The focus of the project was to view the as is approach and then come up with new ideas and improve the ways of working to reduce the overall release cycle time .
Selection
We had a brain storming session on the design thinking tools and activities but came up with conclusion to leverage the learning launch tool the main reason for choosing this tool was to fail early and learn quickly as the overall release and deployment process was at stake .
Application
For our first learning launch , our focus was on the current as is process and to discuss the factors that leads to the delay in the deployment cycle also Business stakeholders were part of workshop of the 2- day workshop . Complete end to end deployment cycle was reviewed and opportunities were identified which could be addressed e.g. Delay in Business approval for change , Stories are not updated in JIRA board on Time . This tested our assumption that the current structure and way of working of the release were the mail causes of the delay for deployment . At the end of the workshop a detailed documentation was prepared along with the actions to be taken and a new workflow which was specifically designed to reduce the approval cycle for the stories and changes
For our second learning launch , we came up with a proposal to increase the number of release cycles in a month ( from 1 to 2 ) , although there were challenges regarding the interdependencies between the various software departments for these new releases . We decided to keep the least conflicting solution and only stand along changes will move forward with these new releases . Hence improving the customer confidence in bridging the gap between IT & Business . We introduced bi - weekly releases to reduce time to market and improve overall business satisfaction .
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool , our team identified our assumptions and designed launches to test these assumptions . Additional we were not sure that we would be able to implement the additional releases ( Bi - weekly ) that will be beneficial for both Business & IT . While the design team was more focused and concerned in improving the as is process this thought of adding new releases came on fly was like liked by everyone in the workshop . Now the minds were racing towards achieving the goals and possible remove the barriers as there were hell lot of bottlenecks to put to an end to these new releases . We designed the process diagram for these new releases and seeking additional approval
from respective stakeholders . We have now decided to meet at lease for a workshop every 6 month and follow the design thinking process for new improvements and opportunity that will add value .
Approach
Team already spent some time for several design thinking tools like mind mapping etc . but learning launch came out to be the winner as the mail reason if to fail early and cheaply . We will try to stick to learning launch tool itself for future discussion but keep our mind open for others tool as well as they are also well recognized in delivering results . The retrospective done after learning launch was effective and few observations were made which will make a difference next time .

Challenge
I am a mechanical engineering student , For our Bachelor thesis we are working on a topic to create common platform for manufacturing and logistics . With focus on reducing labor cost , increasing transparency among the processes and driving digitization . The project scope includes qualitative research by our group of four students , taking interviews of business professionals from respective domains such as value stream manager , manufacturing process expert , operations manager etc . from automotive industries . Scope of our thesis is limited to automotive industries as they are in the major transition phase and are already implementing change management concepts . The time line for our thesis is four months .
Selection
We have already went through ‘ ’ Design Thinking ’’ workshops at our university , so we are implementing mind mapping tool in our thesis . As this tool helps to understand the insights and segregate large amount of data .
Application
During our initial phase of thesis we had huge data from literature , inputs from the interviews that we conducted . Our deadline for data representation was two weeks and for data extraction(survey conducted with professionals ) , we had another two weeks . Before implementation of ‘ ’ Mind Mapping ’’ it was chaos of data . It became difficult to analyze which data we actually need , which will play crucial role to put forward our findings .
After data collection , we implemented mind - mapping tool to create theoretical base for our idea . Figure1 shows our structure of data mining that we came up after using mind mapping . In the first phase we reviewed all data we have and segregated data into four types such as data from qualitative research , state of the art , survey conducted with professionals and future scope . Then each one of us took responsibility of one type . In every weekly meeting with our Professor we did presentation on data analysis , data representation , data extraction and future scope .

Insight and Approach
After implementing mind - mapping tool in our academic work , our team identified our assumptions and helped us to come with new ideas . For example one of the focus element of our thesis is increasing transparency along processes but how was missing in our study . This segregation of data helped us to rethink on our scope of thesis and how it could be achieved within time frame of four months . We made three sections of data namely green , yellow and red . Out of these , green section needed no filter , we used it directly , for yellow section we filtered our data and made sticky notes with main points that we may need in our further studies , and for red section each one of us made own sticky notes boards including points that we thought will be helpful followed by brain storming session .
We realized that mind mapping saved our time we met our deadline of data mining . In our upcoming phase of thesis , we will try to do it in stepwise manner , as it was our first attempt to implement design- thinking tool practically in academic work . Workshops at our university made our concepts clear about the design thinking and made our base strong in the same . This course by ‘ ’ Coursera ’’ has helped us in actual implementation of design thinking tool .
We hope to receive a feedback how we could have done it in a better way .

In this last year we have been listening to Digital Marketing due to the transformation that the marketing world is undergoing in part due to the global crisis and due to the adaptation to the new modality that this digital phenomenon supposes , concepts inspired by the " new economy " that somehow they come to proclaim the death of traditional business models and marketing as we know it . A trend that comes to proclaim that " traditional " marketing has become outdated and even as obsolete as it was in its day .
I am a marketing collaborator based on the fact that the advertising investment stopped being effective . From my point of view and humble opinion , today more than ever , big ideas are more important than big budgets . Today the effectiveness from the point of view of Role , of this concept that we all know and think we have in mind , but that we sometimes forget , is in the knowledge of the consumer , how to communicate with him and be imaginative , creative and innovative . In this , the new reality that they assumed , social networks and that the power of prescription has passed from advertising to consumers , places small companies on the same level as multinationals .
Application
The next reflection is the defense of a fundamental value of all those who are dedicated to marketing : The brand . As much as things change more than ever , I believe that we must return to the fundamentals of what an organization does , what is more important , how it does it . I mean the construction of the brand and by extension the attraction of consumers and their loyalty , the process that makes a company a success and we all try to scrutinize in order to discover the secret of its success .
We are invaded as never before by products , services , companies and brands , all trying to differentiate , be loved and credible by consumers . The solution to the problem of the undifferentiation of products and services , the massive investment in advertising was no longer effective . I think there is a consensus that all the money in the world can not buy loyalty or trust towards a brand or company , even if some remain committed to this principle .
Today trust , loyalty is earned by the way things are done , often intangible issues , and through a more direct relationship with the consumer . Brands are what the consumer perceives them to be . Advertising confirms what a brand is , not what it should be , or want it to be .

One of the key to generate higher revenues is reaching out to multiple Customers through our sales team in the market & help building our revenue to the next level . This was not just a question of revenue but also make it a profitable revenue for the organisation and my / our challenge was to how do we acquire more customers with profitable revenue . We had multiple sales people in the country addressing major cities . While the necessary resources in terms of a knowledge , training on product to sell was already imparted but getting the Teams to implement the same in the market to get customers was a uphill tasks .
Selection
Our Team went thru multiple ideas , design thinking tools & we find the Learning Launch tool to be effective . This would be very effective to quickly test the ideas & implement .
Application
So we started with our first learning launch , we focused on the structure / execution of our current model in the market . We got the entire sales team in one room & started discussing on the current trends & challenges faced in the market to get our vision implemented . Keeping the challenges in mind we went ahead with a structure where every sales guy was given specific inputs on the process to follow . The script to be used which was uniform & would yield faster results . Discussed on the Customers insights preferences & approach the way they would like the product to be presented , not the way we wanted to sell it to them . This was much insightful session for the teams & they were more clear in thoughts & process to implement it in the market now .
Once the process was clear by creating a structure in place , our second learning launch , the focus was on gaining clarity on the tasks & priorities . Every sales guy was given a task to meet atleast 10 Customers in a day & convert them into Leads with clear objective to make a profitable sale . We a focused approach the sales team went with confidence & were in the process able to prioritize the customers & convert them to sale . The new questionnaires designed as a part of the Learning Tool based on what is , what if , what ’s wows & what ’s works helped the teams a lot .
Insight
By applying the Learning Launch tool we got to know the ground reality , approach of the sale steam , customer behaviour which helped us in identifying the gaps & implementing specific structure , giving specific tasks & ensuring priority given to onboarding new profitable customers . This helped us a lot to build confidence for future tasks as well .
Approach
The Learning Launch tool under Design thinking gave a clear vision for the Team to work on Structure /approach getting to execute clear tasks with priority mapping . This will definitely go a long way for the team to get scale & increase the momentum on Customer acquisition for the growth of the Organisation . This has definitely helped in designing clear Go -To – Market activities . These 2 Launches have helped a lot & in future too these Design thinking tool will help build our story faster .

### Input: Challenge
One of the key to generate higher revenues is reaching out to multiple Customers through our sales team in the market & help building our revenue to the next level . This was not just a question of revenue but also make it a profitable revenue for the organisation and my / our challenge was to how do we acquire more customers with profitable revenue . We had multiple sales people in the country addressing major cities . While the necessary resources in terms of a knowledge , training on product to sell was already imparted but getting the Teams to implement the same in the market to get customers was a uphill tasks .
Selection
Our Team went thru multiple ideas , design thinking tools & we find the Learning Launch tool to be effective . This would be very effective to quickly test the ideas & implement .
Application
So we started with our first learning launch , we focused on the structure / execution of our current model in the market . We got the entire sales team in one room & started discussing on the current trends & challenges faced in the market to get our vision implemented . Keeping the challenges in mind we went ahead with a structure where every sales guy was given specific inputs on the process to follow . The script to be used which was uniform & would yield faster results . Discussed on the Customers insights preferences & approach the way they would like the product to be presented , not the way we wanted to sell it to them . This was much insightful session for the teams & they were more clear in thoughts & process to implement it in the market now .
Once the process was clear by creating a structure in place , our second learning launch , the focus was on gaining clarity on the tasks & priorities . Every sales guy was given a task to meet atleast 10 Customers in a day & convert them into Leads with clear objective to make a profitable sale . We a focused approach the sales team went with confidence & were in the process able to prioritize the customers & convert them to sale . The new questionnaires designed as a part of the Learning Tool based on what is , what if , what ’s wows & what ’s works helped the teams a lot .
Insight
By applying the Learning Launch tool we got to know the ground reality , approach of the sale steam , customer behaviour which helped us in identifying the gaps & implementing specific structure , giving specific tasks & ensuring priority given to onboarding new profitable customers . This helped us a lot to build confidence for future tasks as well .
Approach
The Learning Launch tool under Design thinking gave a clear vision for the Team to work on Structure /approach getting to execute clear tasks with priority mapping . This will definitely go a long way for the team to get scale & increase the momentum on Customer acquisition for the growth of the Organisation . This has definitely helped in designing clear Go -To – Market activities . These 2 Launches have helped a lot & in future too these Design thinking tool will help build our story faster .

Visualization or visualisation ( see spelling differences ) is any technique for creating images , diagrams , or animations to communicate a message . Visualization through visual imagery has been an effective way to communicate both abstract and concrete ideas since the dawn of humanity . Examples from history include cave paintings , Egyptian hieroglyphs , Greek geometry , and Leonardo da Vinci 's revolutionary methods of technical drawing for engineering and scientific purposes .
Visualization today has ever - expanding applications in science , education , engineering ( e.g. , product visualization ) , interactive multimedia , medicine , etc . Typical of a visualization application is the field of computer graphics . The invention of computer graphics ( and 3D computer graphics ) may be the most important development in visualization since the invention of central perspective in the Renaissance period . The development of animation also helped advance visualization .
APPLICATION
Scientific visualization As a subject in computer science , scientific visualization is the use of interactive , sensory representations , typically visual , of abstract data to reinforce cognition , hypothesis building , and reasoning . Scientific visualization is the transformation , selection , or representation of data from simulations or experiments , with an implicit or explicit geometric structure , to allow the exploration , analysis , and understanding of the data . Scientific visualization focuses and emphasizes the representation of higher order data using primarily graphics and animation techniques.[5][6 ] It is a very important part of visualization and maybe the first one , as the visualization of experiments and phenomena is as old as science itself . Traditional areas of scientific visualization are flow visualization , medical visualization , astrophysical visualization , and chemical visualization . There are several different techniques to visualize scientific data , with isosurface reconstruction and direct volume rendering being the more common .
Information visualization Information visualization concentrates on the use of computer - supported tools to explore large amount of abstract data . The term " information visualization " was originally coined by the User Interface Research Group at Xerox PARC and included Jock Mackinlay.[citation needed ] Practical application of information visualization in computer programs involves selecting , transforming , and representing abstract data in a form that facilitates human interaction for exploration and understanding . Important aspects of information visualization are dynamics of visual representation and the interactivity . Strong techniques enable the user to modify the visualization in real - time , thus affording unparalleled perception of patterns and structural relations in the abstract data in question .
Educational visualization
Educational visualization is using a simulation to create an image of something so it can be taught about . This is very useful when teaching about a topic that is difficult to otherwise see , for example , atomic structure , because atoms are far too small to be studied easily without expensive and difficult to use scientific equipment .
Knowledge visualization[edit ]
The use of visual representations to transfer knowledge between at least two persons aims to improve the transfer of knowledge by using computer and non - computer - based visualization methods complementarily.[8 ] Thus properly designed visualization is an important part of not only data analysis but knowledge transfer process , too.[9 ] Knowledge transfer may be significantly improved using hybrid designs as it enhances information density but may decrease clarity as well . For example , visualization of a 3D scalar field may be implemented using iso - surfaces for field distribution and textures for the gradient of the field.[10 ] Examples of such visual formats are sketches , diagrams , images , objects , interactive visualizations , information visualization applications , and imaginary visualizations as in stories . While information visualization concentrates on the use of computer - supported tools to derive new insights , knowledge visualization focuses on transferring insights and creating new knowledge in groups . Beyond the mere transfer of facts , knowledge visualization aims to further transfer insights , experiences , attitudes , values , expectations , perspectives , opinions , and predictions by using various complementary visualizations .

Product visualization[edit ]
Product visualization involves visualization software technology for the viewing and manipulation of 3D models , technical drawing and other related documentation of manufactured components and large assemblies of products . It is a key part of product lifecycle management . Product visualization software typically provides high levels of photorealism so that a product can be viewed before it is actually manufactured . This supports functions ranging from design and styling to sales and marketing . Technical visualization is an important aspect of product development . Originally technical drawings were made by hand , but with the rise of advanced computer graphics the drawing board has been replaced by computer - aided design ( CAD ) . CAD - drawings and models have several advantages over hand - made drawings such as the possibility of 3 - D modeling , rapid prototyping , and simulation . 3D product visualization promises more interactive experiences for online shoppers , but also challenges retailers to overcome hurdles in the production of 3D content , as large - scale 3D content production can be extremely costly and time - consuming.[11][12 ]
Visual communication[edit ]
Visual communication is the communication of ideas through the visual display of information . Primarily associated with two dimensional images , it includes : alphanumerics , art , signs , and electronic resources . Recent research in the field has focused on web design and graphically - oriented usability .
Visual analytics[edit ]
Visual analytics focuses on human interaction with visualization systems as part of a larger process of data analysis . Visual analytics has been defined as " the science of analytical reasoning supported by the interactive visual interface".[13 ]
Its focus is on human information discourse ( interaction ) within massive , dynamically changing information spaces . Visual analytics research concentrates on support for perceptual and cognitive operations that enable users to detect the expected and discover the unexpected in complex information spaces .
Technologies resulting from visual analytics find their application in almost all fields , but are being driven by critical needs ( and funding ) in biology and national security .
INSIGHT
visualization is critical to data analysis . It provides a front line of attack , revealing intricate structure in data that can not be absorbed in any other way . We discover unimagined effects , and we challenge imagined ones .
Data by itself , consisting of bits and bytes stored in a file on a computer hard drive , is invisible . In order to be able to see and make any sense of data , we need to visualize it . In this chapter I ’m going to use a broader understanding of the term visualizing , that includes even pure textual representations of data . For instance , just loading a dataset into a spreadsheet software can be considered as data visualization . The invisible data suddenly turns into a visible ‘ picture ’ on our screen . Thus , the questions should not be whether journalists need to visualize data or not , but which kind of visualization may be the most useful in which situation . In other words : when does it makes sense to go beyond the table visualization ? The short answer is : almost always . Tables alone are definitely not sufficient to give us an overview of a dataset . And tables alone do n’t allow us to immediately identify patterns within the data . The most common example here are geographical patterns which can only be observed after visualizing data on a map . But there are also other kinds of patterns which we will see later in this chapter .
Using visualization to Discover Insights
It is unrealistic to expect that data visualization tools and techniques will unleash a barrage of ready - made stories from datasets . There are no rules , no ‘ protocol ’ that will guarantee us a story . Instead , I think it makes more sense to look for ‘ insights ’ , which can be artfully woven into stories in the hands of a good journalist .
Every new visualization is likely to give us some insights into our data . Some of those insights might be already known ( but perhaps not yet proven ) while other insights might be completely new or even surprising to us . Some new insights might mean the beginning of a story , while others could just be the result of errors in the data , which are most likely to be found by visualizing the data .
APPROACH-
Two Approaches to Data Visualization — Understanding and Persuasion . ... This type of visualization is often a collection of basic charts and graphs . The goal is to present the data in an in - depth and unbiased way . The second type is visualization for persuasion .

Challenge and selection
Storytelling is a great tool that I use all the time . Many of these people deal with oppression and dysfunction in every aspect of their lives , they need to be empowered and inspiration is a path to empowerment . I spend a lot of time “ opening people up ” and finding ways to inspire them to improve their circumstances .
I am a member of human resources management department of my company . I have five years ’ work experience . So , I decided to change my workplace to this company . When I came to this company , the employees welcomed me warmly but after one month later , I understood that there was a problem to resolve .
One senior executive who is working for two years made quarrels often with his peers in his department and they complained to our department . My senior manager asked me to resolve this problem . So , I had to use my brain . This workplace was not familiar for me because I was a newcomer . I had done this course models and watched videos so I decided to use one strategy in them . It is storytelling .
Application
I invited her to a coffee shop and talked with her very friendly as a peer not as a HR manager . I appreciated her
contribution for developing our company . As well , I appreciated skills and good qualities of her . After that I asked her the reason for quarrels . She told me her story . Her hobby in her childhood was gossiping with friends . Because of that she found others ’ secrets and when met them she told she knew their character . Unfortunately she could not control her tongue in her workplace also .
Insight & Approach
I shared my childhood memory when I messed with my best friend after heard a gossip .
When I was 16th years old , I heard some peers talked that my best friend had hugged my boyfriend . I felt that my blood boiling . I saw her in playground and ran away towards her and slapped without hesitating . After that she was angry with me and refused talking . My boyfriend told me clearly what happened . My best friend was going to meet an accident and he had saved her luckily and she had thanked him . I felt very sad for her and I was angry with me . However I corrected my mistake .
The executive agreed to correct her all mistakes and be a good employee after hearing my story . She thanked me for helping her and gave my time for her . This worked really well . She really needed individual attention for that brief time , and she ended up with that and a true support .
The problem solved and I became a famous HR manager in our workplace .

Challenge
Stock market is one of the most unpredictable and uncertain markets . It depends on the multiple factors like natural calamities , pandemic situations , company policy changes , etc . So , we here are trying to make one tool / platform in which by analysing all the factors with the help of Machine Learning the price of the stock can be predicted to some extent . Also , we will provide the trading options so that investor and seller can make their trading at the same platform . We are going to provide different login option for the brokers of the share market . Also , we are going to try to provide the insurance based on the predicted price by our tool . Selection Our team has already gone through several design thinking activities / tools , so we are ready to try the learning launch tool . Broadly speaking , the learning launch is an experiment meant to quickly test an idea and prototype . Application For our first learning launch , we focused on the structure / execution of our online Stock Price Predictor and Analyzer system . In particular , we wanted to build a platform where all the users can do the trading of the stocks with some guidance by price prediction . The desired application will be mobile application through which users can trade their stocks . This tested our assumption that the structure and execution were the main causes of our workflow challenge . We went through various stock trading system to collect information about how to arrange data . Next , we went through five workshops to structure our tasks and processes in a more agile way . These two sessions occurred within in a three - week timeframe . We expected to produce a document with a clear description of our new , more agile processes / workflow . For our second learning launch , we focused on gaining clarity about our tasks and priorities . This tested our assumption that our prioritization of tasks was the main cause of our workflow challenge .
Insight By applying the learning launch tool , we identified our assumptions and designed launches to test these assumptions . Additionally , we thought through anticipated results , expecting to find that a more agile approach would improve our workflow and open to the new prioritization of tasks or process . But everything came out as we expected . We were only concerned about that if user find it safe and easy to use the application and it helps in reducing risk of the loss . We did survey about this , it turned out with excellent response . Approach Given that our team has already gone through several design thinking activities / tools and are at this stage in the timeline , the learning launch is the appropriate tool . As previously mentioned , our team needs to review the insight gained from our first two launches and incorporate this insight into future launch designs . Future launch designs should reflect insight gained , progress made , and come closer to a compelling solution ready for full rollout . Our college is also happy with our efforts and mobile application .

### Input: Stock Price Predictor and Analyzer – Learning Launch
Challenge
Stock market is one of the most unpredictable and uncertain markets . It depends on the multiple factors like natural calamities , pandemic situations , company policy changes , etc . So , we here are trying to make one tool / platform in which by analysing all the factors with the help of Machine Learning the price of the stock can be predicted to some extent . Also , we will provide the trading options so that investor and seller can make their trading at the same platform . We are going to provide different login option for the brokers of the share market . Also , we are going to try to provide the insurance based on the predicted price by our tool . Selection Our team has already gone through several design thinking activities / tools , so we are ready to try the learning launch tool . Broadly speaking , the learning launch is an experiment meant to quickly test an idea and prototype . Application For our first learning launch , we focused on the structure / execution of our online Stock Price Predictor and Analyzer system . In particular , we wanted to build a platform where all the users can do the trading of the stocks with some guidance by price prediction . The desired application will be mobile application through which users can trade their stocks . This tested our assumption that the structure and execution were the main causes of our workflow challenge . We went through various stock trading system to collect information about how to arrange data . Next , we went through five workshops to structure our tasks and processes in a more agile way . These two sessions occurred within in a three - week timeframe . We expected to produce a document with a clear description of our new , more agile processes / workflow . For our second learning launch , we focused on gaining clarity about our tasks and priorities . This tested our assumption that our prioritization of tasks was the main cause of our workflow challenge .
Insight By applying the learning launch tool , we identified our assumptions and designed launches to test these assumptions . Additionally , we thought through anticipated results , expecting to find that a more agile approach would improve our workflow and open to the new prioritization of tasks or process . But everything came out as we expected . We were only concerned about that if user find it safe and easy to use the application and it helps in reducing risk of the loss . We did survey about this , it turned out with excellent response . Approach Given that our team has already gone through several design thinking activities / tools and are at this stage in the timeline , the learning launch is the appropriate tool . As previously mentioned , our team needs to review the insight gained from our first two launches and incorporate this insight into future launch designs . Future launch designs should reflect insight gained , progress made , and come closer to a compelling solution ready for full rollout . Our college is also happy with our efforts and mobile application .

Background , Challenge , and Selection :
The first tool I used in the design thinking was storytelling to influence and guide a business decision to go forward on a new product development project . I use this approach with senior leaders in the organization to bring about an emotional connection regarding the problems we face and how to solve it . The data , facts , and recommendations were all there . However , the space in between and the weaving of the hard facts together was where storytelling was a compelling tool . The challenge was convincing senior leadership to provide funds and resources to develop a new product . I chose this method of design thinking create energy , passionate , excitement , and simplicity to the strategy and initiative that I presented .
Application :
I start the process of story telling with understanding my audience . This is the most critical aspect , in my opinion , to storytelling . It ’s important to understand what information your audience knows and does n’t know to be able to build your story . In my application of storytelling , I also like to build an outline prior to my presentation . As described in module 2 , great storytellers build suspense and reduce suspense by answering questions throughout the presentation .
In my example regarding my product development project , I create suspense by immersing the audience into the challenge we are facing . In my industry , our end - users for our medical devices are surgeons . I focus my story on the challenges a surgeon will face with the current solutions available on the market . I support my claims and answer questions that the audience develops through facts and data . In a technology driven company , this is important to demonstrate data driven decisions to senior leaders .
Through weaving a story between data and hard facts , I was able to convince the audience of senior leaders to provide funding for the project . Storytelling allowed the cross - functional senior leaders of my organization to develop a connection with the challenges our business and customer faced in this situation . It helped me portray the current state and articulate the ‘ what is ’ , while also imaging the future state and therefore articulating the ‘ what if ’ .
Insight , and Approach :
I had several important insights from utilizing the method of storytelling in design thinking . Using storytelling helped me develop an emotional connect and energy towards the problem our business and customers were facing . It gave me further tools to present the hard facts and data to drive a new product development initiative forward . After developing an emotional connection , I was able to influence my audience in the same way . I left the audience with a deep understanding and memorable recommendation to addressing our business and customer challenges . The approach to story telling helped me the ‘ what is ’ and ‘ what if ’ aspects of design thinking to unlock funding and resources to continue on the design thinking pathway towards ‘ what wows ’ and ‘ what works ’ .
Utilizing the tool of storytelling has become my go - to method for presenting business challenges . Other approaches to incorporate when applying storytelling is journey mapping . In the current healthcare climate and value customers are looking for , having a solution for needs across a customer / patient ’s journey is important .

Challenge & Selection
The first tool I used was a visualization or visual thinking tool to achieve a
common understanding . I work for a charitable foundation , and I constantly have to explain something to someone . For example , the sponsor needs to be introduced to our projects , and explain the benefits of each project , and you have to give a report to the sponsor on the work performed . And it does n't always work out verbally .
For each person to understand , I had to do it differently . And I started to
visualize everything .
Application
My team and I started making catalogs for all projects of our foundation .
And when a sponsor came or was , we showed them a catalog , a flyer with various infographics , tables , pictures and data .
As for the report , the report began to be made in the form of infographics ,
tables , pictures , data and with different illustrations . All these pictures , infographics and tables are also conveniently uploaded to social networks .
Since I used to work for an advertising agency and have experience as a
designer , all this was not difficult for me . On the contrary , it became much easier and more pleasant for me from this occupation .
Insight & Approach
As a result , when the sponsor was shown the rendered projects , everything
became much easier , clearer and more beautiful . The sponsors were all happy and there were fewer questions . And the reports have also become clearer to people . And the opposite effect was pleasant , everything became much clearer and more readable for everyone . And everything became convenient and understandable for us too .
This course influenced my decision to use my design skills in the charity
industry . And I think this can and should be used in any area .

Challenge :
I had launched one sweets house but my sales were not as good as is expected . All customers who bought my products liked them but wanted to see something extra and different . Also , my sweets house was near to maternity hospital , people from hospital wanted to sit , have a fun and wait for their dears there but I did n’t have enough sitting places ( they are just 2 ) , this fact also caused lower sales of my sweets house . But I did n’t have money to pay either extra cooker or buy extra tables
Selection :
I had already had experiences on doing something by myself either it handmade tables or cookies . So , I decided to go with that by myself . It means , the learning launch tool will provide me doing experiments , test my ideas and get quick results .
Application :
For my learning launch , I started to research how to do tables / chairs and different sweets by myself . Firstly , I tested it for my friends , after 3 - 4 times I finally do the best version of tables for my sweets house . By doing so , I recorded all these preparation : testing of my friends , their falling downs from chairs and then posted all of these on social media . Tables / chairs and videos liked by many people and the interest in my sweets house started to increase .
Secondly , I started to practice to cook new cookies and sweets . And bought a lot of cute and cheap stuff for decoration of them , also I started to name new sweets accordingly our culture , as well posted new sweets on social media and ask customers to name some of them . It created a strong relationship between my sweets house and customers , because as they said before they felt like home there .
Insight :
By applying learning launch tool , I observed and gained a lot of information about my customers , which active communication with them through social media increased my sales for 1 month for 2 times . People who are named new sweets through social media started to come sweets house often to see their creativity and share it with their friends . Also , my self - doing of chairs and tables caused additional opportunity for me because some people started to ask me for that for their backyards .
Approach :
From the experience that gained by me through learning launch tool I enjoyed and get a lot of new information . I would like to choose use learning launch tool again if any problem I will face . Because as I mentioned on selection parts this tool provided me to test my ideas and get quick results from them .

Challenge I am a Business Development Manager in a fashion retail company and our challenge is to improve our customer ’s shopping experience at our retail stores , since we received a large number of feedbacks and complaints from our customers regarding poor shopping experience . The aim of this project was to re - strategize the way our stores functioned and provide the best experience for our customers . Project scope included the Business Development team consisting of five key personnel , the Sales department at our head office and all the Sales executives at our main store where we will conduct the learning launch . The project has to be completed within 30 working days and within a limited budget . Our focus is to analyze how customers feel about the new experience and whether this will increase sales and footfall . Selection The team selected for the project has already used other design thinking tools and activities , so the learning launch will be our primary tool that will help us identify whether the project can be a success and if so , we should be able to replicate this model in all other stores . Learning launch can be called as a ‘ fast , small experiment ’ to test our idea and hypothesis , whether it really improves customer experiment or if we need to make more changes to the strategy . Application For the first learning launch , we focussed on personalized experience and hospitality at the selected store . We trained our employees to be courteous , welcoming and warm to every customer who walked into the store . Sales executives were stationed at different parts of the store to assist any customer in need . We also launched a free ‘ Shopping Valet ’ which could be easily booked a day in advance through our social media pages . The valet service included an executive who would guide the customer from the entrance till the cash counter and carry their shopping bags till their cars , offering a convenient and seamless experience . Security guards at the store entrance were asked to greet the customers with a smile , other sales executives were also trained to always smile when they speak to customers and be patient and polite to them . The second learning launch was all about rearranging the store . We added a small kids ’ play area in the store , near the toys section , where parents could leave their kids and shop relaxingly , an employee was present to look after the kids . We arranged the shelves in a way that made the store feel more spacious , which was different from the standard store format . Other than that , we added new , enhanced sign boards with a larger brand logo to guide customers to the cash counters and trial rooms . Some items in less - demand were removed from the shelves and a trending new collection was added as part of the learning launch . Trolleys
were replaced with lightweight bags to make the store less congested . The path from the cash counter to the exit was cleared for easy movement . Both the learning launch concepts were applied simultaneously to give an overall improved customer experience , in anticipation of increased returns . Insight Our ideas and assumptions were tested using the learning launch tool and we gathered data from customer experience to sales , tracing the entire experience of the customer and compared it to the data gathered before the learning launch . The results were quite overwhelming and provided crucial insights to the entire team . The Shopping Valet service was a great success with 95 % of customers who booked it bought something from the store . The customers were highly pleased with the hospitality and warmth of the staff members , with an increase in ratio of number of sales per customer visits at the store . The kids ’ play area did n’t make much of a difference . Most of the customers were also satisfied with the store rearrangement . We were able to achieve better positive reviews for the experience , as a result of which the project was decided to be implemented on a larger - scale at all our locations . Approach The learning launch tool is the best available design thinking tool for us because we could n’t make changes without proving the real impact it can create . Senior management executives were at first reluctant to make big changes at all the stores , so using this tool , we could prove the effectiveness of improved customer experience designed together by the entire team . This paves the way for innovation and exciting new ideas to be planned for the future , which can be implemented through the design thinking process .

( In our country , schooling is mandatory until the age of 16 and gipsy people living in extreme poverty are especially at risk not being able to finish primary school , repeating classes quite often , falling out of education , and thus not able to easily find a job and to integrate into the society … ) . Many of the adults in such poor villages had left school early ( e.g. to help their parents raise their siblings or work on the fields ) and their children can see such examples mostly . ( Those who could achieve more in life , moved out of the village already . ) The program works with volunteers of young people ( 25 + of ages ) who are carefully selected ( some are from the same minority group but living in the capital ) , and they all feel motivated to help these teenagers with various social inclusive programs . The challenge of the program is to make these kids understand why education is important and how our mentors could support them on a daily basis . As many of the volunteers just recently joined the program , first they needed to get more information on their mentees and build trust . I decided to use Storytelling to facilitate this get- to - know process , to help open up our mentees , who often deal with prejudice and preconceptions ; who need empathy , inspiration and empowerment to strengthen their self confidence and self esteem . I hoped that Storytelling would also help our mentors get closer to their mentees and build trust . Application Before talking to the mentees , we had several group sessions with the mentors to get prepared . We shared stories from our own teenager lives , we talked about our past experiences with people of similar circumstances etc . We shared stories of previous mentees , ( in other social support programs ) and we collected some of the topics we think these teenagers may face . We were learning about Storytelling as a tool and how to use it with the help of a trainer . We decided to pick a few of our own stories that we could share with the mentees . We focused on stories that include young people with difficulties at school or those with personal challenges in their families ( e.g. abusive parents , parents or siblings using drugs , early pregnancy etc ) . We were also seeking stories that have positive outcome and identified some key learning points that could help our mentees understand more of the situations shared and the impact on someone ’s life . Mentors shared these stories within the group and we also collected a few reflective questions that could add to the story and raise more interest and empathy . We made sure each mentor had a few stories like these , either from his / her own life or something he / she could share with lots of empathy . We wanted to share some of these stories to connect , to find out more about the mentees ’ personal stories and to understand their own fears , motivations and needs . Insight & Approach Two weeks later our mentor group met again . All mentees , with full of emotions , spoke about their fantastic experiences with the mentees . Despite of initial fears on both sides , mentees were all very enthusiastic that they had someone to talk to . To have his or her “ own mentor ” as something like a treasure , not everyone could have had in the community ... As the mentors shared stories and experiences of their first few meetings it became quite clear how the
Storytelling toolkit actually helped building trust between mentor and mentee . One of the mentors told us the story how the attitude of her mentee gradually changed . At the beginning she was seemingly quite reserved and bored . She was not too open about her school experiences or about her own family situation either . She told the mentor that she would like to quit school because she is bored . No other reason . The mentor was then sharing a story of her own life , how she had left school and moved out of her parents ’ house at the age of 16 to “ punish ” her parents . She worked as waiter and cleaner and had to do a lot of low skilled work , often late night , so she could pay her bills . Through a series of eye - opening experiences she decided to take ownership of her own life , and ten years later she finished secondary school , graduated and started working on her own film making project . The story focused on our decisions and life challenges . Our mentor was really proud that as she had shared her own story the mentee was opening up and started asking a lot of questions . She was also telling about her own goal to become a cook and then they could talk about what she would need to learn to become a cook . The mentor even offered to take her to a restaurant to talk to a “ real ” cook … We all agreed that this is a great story , especially because the mentee ’s comment was : she would have never thought others ( “ in the capital ” ) would also have similar fights with their parents … Naturally , we all think about our own bad experiences in life as unique that happen to us only , until someone shares a story and we realize we are not alone … What I have learnt during these meetings is that sharing our experiences and sharing life stories is a very powerful tool in the mentoring program . This was the first time that the mentor program was built on it , mainly with the teenage group of mentees . Other people ’s stories brought to surface our own stories and mentors felt even more motivated and prepared to do field work . Storytelling is especially good tool while working with a minority group , as they can connect more easily , feel empathy and understand that “ they are not alone ” . Such stories can help mentees create their own stories which show new directions in their lives . All the stories we collected in our workshops will be written and shared with other members of the organization for future use .

### Input: Example Reflection – Storytelling Challenge & Selection I have been working as mentor - coordinator in a social program which aimed to help a group of young gipsy people ( ages 12 - 16 ) to finish school and continue studying in secondary education . ( In our country , schooling is mandatory until the age of 16 and gipsy people living in extreme poverty are especially at risk not being able to finish primary school , repeating classes quite often , falling out of education , and thus not able to easily find a job and to integrate into the society … ) . Many of the adults in such poor villages had left school early ( e.g. to help their parents raise their siblings or work on the fields ) and their children can see such examples mostly . ( Those who could achieve more in life , moved out of the village already . ) The program works with volunteers of young people ( 25 + of ages ) who are carefully selected ( some are from the same minority group but living in the capital ) , and they all feel motivated to help these teenagers with various social inclusive programs .

Challenge I work in a creative services office composed of designers , writers , photographers , and videographers and we are challenged to produce high - quality creative assets in order to set ourselves apart from their competitors and run better marketing campaigns . The pressures of the modern business landscape are placing more demand on marketing teams , as well as increasing the need for streamlined creative operations processes . Our team often struggle with a few key issues in the effort to meet the growing demand for creative assets . For example , Lack of workflows , Lack of data , Inaccurate forecasts , etc . Design Thinking made me want to share the ideas I learned in the course and how I could apply it to improve our problem - solving processes . While we do already think of creative solutions for problems , the techniques of finding empathy , creating a problem statement , forming ideas , and then making prototypes , will help my team to come up with better solutions . Selection As a team , we have decided to use the learning launch tool . Because we believe the learning launch principle is one of the most important tools of design thinking for innovation . This principle consists in doing small experiments to test an idea in the real market . It is a fast , low- cost way to verify the innovator ’s hypothesis . As in forth week Thomas Franke gave a definition of learning launch and explained important of learning launch . Learning launch is an experiment in a market place and it is a process of assumptions testing and see the actions in real world . Professors explained the three steps for learning launch . First step is planning the learning launch , second one is executing the learning launch and third step is learning from learning launch . Thomas Franke gave us an examples like Dragnet for better understanding . Application Through the studies we managed to put into question an ethnographic research to know who our true audience was , what he was looking for , what were his fears and his objections , among other doubts . With the total opening of the client and together of my team , we selected 10 clients to whom they were visiting the textile store and we interviewed them . The entire team knew the challenges and openness of just listening to what the respondents had to say , without influencing their arguments . we focused on the structure / execution of our online marketing tasks . In particular , we wanted to see if we could structure our tasks , projects , and processes to adapt the methods of Scrum project management for our work ( e.g. , time boxed , daily , specific meetings , reviews , etc . ) in an effort to become more agile . This tested our assumption that the structure and execution were the main causes of our workflow challenge . Our team went through a two - day training with a Scrum project management coach . Next , we went through five workshops to structure our tasks and processes in a more agile way . These two sessions occurred within in a three - week timeframe . We expected to produce a document with a clear description of our new , more agile processes / workflow .
Insight By applying the learning launch tool , Synchronization and the search for a solution was something We had never experienced before . With the cross - referencing of ethnographic data , we identified the major objections to the product , myths and even the dreams of these clients in possessing an ever beautiful and elegant bed as seen in movies and soap operas . I then produced a Canvas from the whole series of interviews , thus generating a huge surprise on the part of those involved , since the data that we had previously in hand , no longer represented who we thought . The result could not be otherwise . Through new media using educational videos , our client had an expressive organic increase in search for purchases and the exponential increase in the engagement of his audience with his brand . Now the whole team has reviewed their work , abandoning everything they thought they knew about that particular client . This new tool has enabled the team to be more accurate and test ideas more quickly and efficiently . This course opened my mindset , making me a determined person to test and learn , to go on the field even if it fails . Everyone involved is happy so I will be forever grateful for learning Approach The learning launch is the appropriate 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 :
Currently , I work for an older organization going through a rebirth process under new ownership . As CTO , I am functionally focused as I try to build a set of operations that align the technical departments ( R&D , Quality , Manufacturing and Regulatory ) . My goal has been to bring the tool of visualization into our design process .
My greatest struggle is being able to get upper management to visualize the resource drain on all departments in support of a product or bundle of products . One of our goals running alongside standardizing operations is condensing our portfolio of offerings in order to optimize our resource use . This ultimately should allow the technical and corporate ( business development , marketing and sales ) units to see a clearer ROI across new portfolio initiatives . I have found that just explaining the current resource allocation to be ineffective in delivering the lack of scalability of some current workflows .
Application & Approach :
I have been proposing that we rethink a majority of our portfolio which in turn slows down some of our new initiatives . During this time , I have used visualization techniques in order to convey crucial problems in a more penetrative manner . The problem with verbal explanations is that most people will interpret them in a different way due to different life experiences . This is where Microsoft project has allowed me to demonstrate an initiatives resource expenditure in a comprehensive manner . I have found graphically demonstrating resource usage by task and by product has been effective at narrowing down our targets and preventing scope creep .
Increasing the understanding internal / external teams have of our design process has lead to more efficient innovation management . The use of Microsoft project opened the door to senior management visualizing our process but still was ineffective and did not penetrate down to middle management . Therefore , I hunted for a tool that I could use alongside project and I found that in the Office 365 suite with planner . Planner is a Kanban - style tool that could be used by our middle management and technicians across a majority of repetitious and unique initiatives . Kanban is a Japanese word that stands for “ visual signal ” .
Working with our IT department , we have customized Office 365 using flows and PowerShell applications in order to link planner and project . We have had more success using the simple Kanban board planner , instead of working with complicated software . This board is unique in the sense that the tasks can be viewed in a board , graph or calendar . They allow color marking for priority . It also has a chat room hooked to each task or group of tasks that allow users to communicate in a less formal way than email .
Insight :
Moving forward , I would like to apply the tool of visualization and Kanban boards with my teams in a more tactile manner before jumping to the software planner . As we move farther with the portfolio reduction , I would like to have a real board and sticky notes to start the process with my teams . I believe setting aside some time with technicians and middle management with a tactile process will lead to a richer experience and more engagement .

Most part of us do n’t see the real impact and meaning of things because we are blind by the usual , so Storytelling is a great tool to provide them a story they are familiar with but adding points of questioning so that they can empathize easily with the problem , with the provocation and possibly thinking about assuming a new posture in situations they go by all the time . The stories with points of questioning can help people to better understand their interests and thought processes . I can use this information to develop different strategies to try and find a way to change things in a larger scale .
Application
I have been using storytelling through the brand social media and to make it clear about how I have been applying the concept I will share a story here . Once I told the brand followers about a moment that happened with me ( I actually created the story for them , it has n’t really happened ) . The story involved someone questioning my choice about changing my profession , and so I told them the timeline of my choices . About being a 17 years old girl with a lot of dreams and that did n’t know herself at that time , and progressed through the difficulties of making life changing choices and them , between the story I added points of questioning like : are we really bounded for the rest of our lives because of these choices ? Do we really have only one path in live ? Is it craziness to drop of a path that does n’t really satisfices you , even though you spent years on it ? And so on . The results were really nice . A lot of people respond the post talking about the subject , sharing that they feel trapped and agreeing with this point of view .
Insight
Well , the responses gave me a lot of insights . For example , that people sometimes feel things but do n’t talk about it because they think they ca n’t feel like that . That people follow , interact and admire people that have courage to speak up . That people like to interact and need to speak with one another . People need attention and want to be better .
Approach
So I decided to start a website and a line of products to defend the topics that the brand talk about . People really empathize with stories and it ’s an effective way to touch peoples minds and make them support a brand .

Challenge
I work with a content brand that aims to develop persons minds and society by approaching daily topics in a questioner way to make people think about things the go through everyday without understanding de real meaning of it . The real challenge is to make them question their own habits , routines , long term conceptions , in order to change how the world goes . To eliminate preconceptions and make the world a better place . To show people that the power to change the world is in their hands , because by changing people we can change everything . Empower and inspire people to see the problems and be willing to change them .

Mind mapping is a creative and logical means of note - taking that " maps out " your ideas in free - form . They are non - linear representations of how you connect ideas and concepts . They are useful for creative thinking and brainstorming .
All mind maps have some things in common . They have a natural organizational structure that
radiates from the centre and use lines , symbols , words , colour and images according to
simple , brain - friendly concepts . Mind mapping converts a long list of information into
a colorful , memorable and highly organized diagram that works in line with your
brain 's natural way of doing things .
Why to use it ?
Mind mapping assignments can increase student ’s achievement and knowledge
retention because students are constructing knowledge . Mind maps help students
learn information by forcing them to organize information and allow them creativity
by the addition of color and images . These types of maps have been shown to lower
extrinsic cognitive load because students are creating a two - dimensional space to tie
ideas and concepts together . They allow students to create visual images to make
information more meaningful and allow for deep learning to occur .
Common uses :
Mind maps can be used for a variety of purposes including :
✓ Note taking ✓ Brainstorming ( individually or in groups ) ✓ Problem solving ✓ Studying and memorization ✓ Planning ✓ Researching and consolidating information from multiple sources ✓ Presenting information ✓ Gaining insight on complex subjects ✓ Jogging your creativity
How to develop the habit of Mind Mapping ?
✓ Start in the middle of a blank page , writing or drawing the idea you intend to develop . I
would suggest that you use the page in landscape orientation .
✓ Develop the related subtopics around this central topic , connecting each of them to the
center with a line .
✓ Repeat the same process for the subtopics , generating lower - level subtopics . ✓ Use colors , drawings and symbols copiously . Be as visual as you can , and your brain will
thank you . I ’ve met many people who do n’t even try , with the excuse they ’re " not artists " . Do n’t let that keep you from trying it out !
✓ Keep the topics labels as short as possible , keeping them to a single word – or , better yet , to
only a picture . Especially in your first mind maps , the temptation to write a complete phrase is enormous , but always look for opportunities to shorten it to a single word or figure – your mind map will be much more effective that way .
✓ Vary text size , color and alignment . Vary the thickness and length of the lines . Provide as
many visual cues as you can to emphasize important points . Every little bit helps engaging your brain .
Modern day softwares that develop mind mapping in students :
A few free programs available for creating mind maps are : -
➢ Edraw Mind Map ➢ Blumind
Levels of Bloom ’s Taxonomy :
✓ Remembering : Identify , List , Record , Show ✓ Understanding : Associate , Characterize , Review ✓ Applying : Construct , Illustrate , Investigate , Relate

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

Challenge & Selection
I work with a lot of old and middle - aged people . My specialty is architecture , where I explain what is drawn and designed for the client , and I present it in a way that inspires them and is understandable at the same time . When I work with older people , we share stories of different often reasons they 're lonely and very happy to share their life stories with me to communicate On that basis , I design the house according to the story and their needs . And it 's better where we draw inspiration for design based on the stories that are told to us . And we also understand the physical level . On the basis of which we determine the location of the construction and the design method , but at the same time we do a design that serves their needs and at the same time inexpensive .
Application
I have a story which is that I was talking to a client and he told me his story and through it I derived the design and how to start and started the design and when I finished and I explained the design to the client and I told him but he did not notice that it is based on his story because it is still on paper when the workers started on the site the building began to take shape and the client noticed that the building described his story beautifully . The story of the client that he had caught a fish and took care of it then the fish died and he affected by her death so he decided to built a place to contain the fishes and take care of them and he described the shape of the fish and on this basis I designed the building despite many difficulties I faced but it was worth to please the customer and see the joy on his face . And it 's been so beautiful for a lot of people and it contains a lot of fish .
Insight & Approach
Well , wow , that was the eye opener . And it was time to tell him my story that I had a dog and I was taking care of him and I loved him very much and he got sick and died i was very sad and i prevented myself from working , but I decided to build and design a special shelter for dogs to take care of them and I started designing and I decided to make this shelter in my house and I built it and allocated Friday for people and children to come and
To see the different types of dogs and traveled many countries to collect different types of dogs to take care of them and named the shelter after my dog who died and one day when people gathered to see the dogs I told them my story with the dog and I saw how people were affected by the story and increased their interest in dogs and changed their feelings and i explained to them how I am an architect and at the same time i took care of the dogs and the client was influenced by the story for each of us a story can be Tell it to someone else to improve their psyche and make it better .

Challenge & Selection
Mind mapping is a hybrid illustration between logical and creative thinking . An important tool
in design thinking , to lead a meeting , summarize a text , or take notes . A way to learn and memorize , visual thinking clarifies your ideas and directs your actions .
For any project , the radial tree - like shape of a mind map makes it easy to capture , explore , and
transfer information and knowledge far from the only Brainstorming often associated with the indicative diagram view .
The Mind Map starts by setting the central idea , theme , or topic . Choosing a stimulating
centerpiece that represents the theme or topic you are addressing .
The tool I use to develop my project idea is mind mapping in order to find more ideas or sub-
ideas that can be useful for my project and make it better equipped .
Application
In the beginning , I collect the ideas brought up by team members during meetings , and these
collated points help me and the team arrive at a common ground or differences between the ideas and come up with a solution to various hiccups . To improve communication with my peers and save time , it ’s always better to keep the idea depiction crisp and clear .
As the wise man once said , “ A picture speaks 1000 words ” , ideas and information are more
comprehensive not only for me but also for the team if I present them via visuals . This is where mind maps come to the rescue .
From my central idea , I radiate every idea that comes to my mind on that subject , dividing them
into main ideas , or main brain branches . From my main ideas or branches , add my sub - ideas . and I make to let my thoughts flow as quickly as possible . Because having to work at speed unchains my brain from habitual thinking patterns , and encourages new ideas and innovation . Many of these new ideas may seem absurd at first , but they often hold the key to new perspectives and the breaking of old habits . The most innovative solutions come from the idea core , and I want to encourage as many new thoughts and creative ideas as possible at this point .
Using the mind map , I now need to find the solution that was my original creative goal . This
includes doing more work on the mind map - making connections between branches and adding more sub - branches .
Insight & Approach
By applying the mind mapping tool , which allows me to effectively brainstorm and outline
concepts around a central idea for my business project . Using a mind map diagram , I can include tasks , concepts , and resources in a highly - organized and easily - digestible way . Mind maps also allow me to define a project ’s scope , create detailed tasks , solve problems , make decisions , and manage my team more effectively .
When I used the mind map , I noticed better results than expected , as I came up with many
creative ideas that made the project more useful , and without the mind map , I would not have reached them .

Reflection Assignment – Visualization Applied to Scenario Planning
Challenge I have a working session with a new client on Tuesday , June 9 in which they would like to prepare for strategic thinking . The organization is a health benefits and wellness consulting firm and they have recently experienced friction within the leadership team over the direction they should take the business . Two high - ranking executives have recently separated from the organization , largely due to the discord at the top . I have the opportunity to engage the remaining six members of the leadership team in an hour - long conversation , preceded by a survey to gather their candid input and perspectives . While I have my own professional services firm and do consulting work , my familiarity with their particular industry and focus is fairly limited . They did not seem ready for a comprehensive strategic planning engagement , so I concluded that an appropriate first step would be to engage the team in a scenario planning exercise , especially given the vast uncertainty that all businesses are now facing . I incorporated design thinking concepts into the facilitation model for this session . Selection I decided to integrate the tool of visual thinking , or visualization , into the scenario planning exercise I will be leading for my client . I felt this would be the best way to guide them through an exercise focused on key uncertainties they are facing in the business . My objective is to have them produce two versions of a 2x2 matrix similar to the one on the right , but instead of the two axes shown here ( “ production costs ” and “ product differentiation ” ) , their chosen dimensions will be external factors that are important for them to consider in their business . I want the team to think about forces over which they have no direct control , and for which two possible extremes of the future could occur ( e.g. , “ high ” vs. “ low ” ) . I feel that this visual approach will allow them to develop a shared view of the probable future . In Week 1 , Angela Meyer discussed that visualization helps design thinkers make their ideas tangible and concrete , and that this is a more likely path to achieve consensus and agreement than through verbal deliberation alone . Given the current climate of this team ’s interaction , I felt that promoting collaborative thinking through visualization would be the most productive path . Application The most critical input for this visualization exercise is the team ’s thoughts on critical uncertainties facing their business , which I gathered through a preliminary survey to the team . Specifically , I asked the following question :
Angela Torres ( ENEA ' 97 )
I have assembled the list of uncertainties that they collectively identified and plan to share with them during the session . I will provide time for them to ask questions of each other and get clarification on any factors that are unclear or too ambiguous . I will then split the team into two subgroups , using the Breakout Rooms feature of Zoom , and I will ask for each group to select the top two forces that they feel should be taken into account in future strategic decision making . During this breakout time , I will also task them with producing a 2x2 matrix like the one shown above . Then they will select one quadrant that they feel best reflects the most likely future , assign it a descriptive title , and outline some of the details that might unfold in their shared view of the future . I have prepared Google Slides in advance with templates for them to populate during this breakout period . After 15 minutes , we will return to the main Zoom room to discuss the two matrices , comparing and contrasting the two alternate versions of the future the groups visually depict . We will also discuss how these images can be used as a strategic frame to consider some of the pressing decisions the team is facing . I also asked them to think ahead about these decision before the session as well , using the following survey question :
Insights The core four - question framework of the course , on its own , yielded the most substantive insights I am taking away at this point in time . Specifically , the framework and how it was presented led me to make three important observations , which I will connect in each case to my focus of scenario planning :
a ) Questions drive ideation . Asking what is , what if , what wows , and what works led to highly impactful
results in all of the case examples highlighted . I was most struck by how asking and answering questions accelerated the generation of concrete options in The Good Kitchen and MeYouHealth cases . ‘ Possibility thinking ’ is at the heart of scenario planning and design thinking .
b ) Ideas come to life in pictures . Right at the outset of the course , in the Week 1 segment 3 video , Professor
Liedtka unravels a spaghetti of lines to unveil the key framework of the course . In a similar revelatory fashion , conducting scenario planning visually should help the future to unfold and become clearer to my client team , right before their eyes .
c ) Visualization aids decision making . As we saw in formulating the new menu for The Good Kitchen and the
MVP app for MeYouHealth , pictures were instrumental at the beginning of the design process . Similarly , my client will first conduct scenario planning to create matrices that visually depict the future , and then they will use these pictures to make important decisions about the future of their business .
Approach I have begun to review the survey data to see what the team has submitted for the two key questions highlighted earlier in this paper , and I am encouraged by what I see . A sanitized overview of the possible decisions ( Q#2 ) and key uncertainties ( Q#3 ) is listed on the following page . While the responses for Q2 are all well - framed decisions to explore , not everyone followed the directions for Q3 to identify the two extremes of the key uncertainties ( see next page ) . I will learn during the session whether this issue is due to misunderstanding the instructions or to trouble articulating their thoughts . Either way , I think these data show that the leadership team will have a lot of meaningful questions to consider and visually explore together . My hope is that they are also able to experience the promise of increased alignment that Angela Meyer highlighted at the end of Week 1 . This was a great course to take during the tectonic shifts underway in our world and I am fortunate to have made new connections also !

Challenge and Selection
Since I was 15 years old , I have been going to the gym seeking to have a good body and improve my physical and psychological health , releasing my stress daily . Initially due to lack of discipline and incorrectly performing many of the exercises , it took me a long time to see significant results .
Over time I have used the learning launch tool why I have perfected the technique in training with videos and guidance from the instructors , as well as I have gone with nutritionists to learn to have control over what I eat daily , avoiding food scrap metal that will cause disease in the future .
Application
For my first learning launch I focused on the correct performance of the exercises , because even if you know the technique , it requires practice to be able to perform the exercises properly , reaching failure in most of them , as well as performing them with the appropriate weight for a better evolution without injuries .
In my second learning launch I learned to eat the food rations that my body needs ( with the nutrients , proteins , etc . ) to avoid decompensation and achieve the expected results . It is not wrong to eat junk food or so , simply avoid excesses .
Insight
When introducing the learning launch tool , identify where you were failing and why you were not obtaining the desired and meaningful results . Improving my discipline and perseverance , the changes slowly came from self - confidence and self - esteem to physical . In the future I will continue to inform myself to continue progressing and improving every day .
Approach
The learning launch is the appropriate tool . As previously mentioned , I keep reviewing the results comparing them before and after with the help of the nutritionist and instructors , seeing how the knowledge acquired and the progress made to this day continue to be reflected .

Challenge
I am a student of a university where we have a lot of group activities and projects . The environment here does not enable a group of people to think and take decisions that are in the best interest of the group . The teams go through a tough time managing themselves and making the right choices . While we had to complete technical project under a faculty , I was asked to lead a team . The project had a deadline and was limited in terms of finances . My challenge was to keep the groups expectations high , help them realise their strengths , keep the activity fun-filled and more than anything make the end result that pleased the team .

The group consisted of 7 members which was what I thought was an easy number to handle . It later turned out to be a hectic job but we somehow crossed the line with a pretty impressive result .
To accomplish the result I used the learning launch tool . Learning launch is way to test to an idea immediately , and if the output is desirable we move forward with the idea .
Application
For our first learning launch , I called my team for meetings and discussed with them regarding our project . I wanted them to brainstorm regarding the idea instead the opposite happened . The group did n’t seem interested in talking , the cabin seemed dull and everyone seemed lost . Clearly our idea to work together had failed . Partially , the reason behind failure was less knowledge and commitment as well .
Note - The advantage in the first learning launch was the physical presence of team members and the disadvantage was lack of interest .
I suspected there to be a problem ( Members of my team were not comfortable together ) and I tried a second method .
For our second learning launch , I focussed on keeping the team members in their comfort zones . I invited my team to work alone at their respective residences . I gave them specific tasks and a deadline . To my surprise I actually got responses and the team coordinated better over mobile devices and the work was done well before the deadline . Also , the discussions included questions , new ideas and prioritisation of our project .
Note - The advantage during the second learning launch was that the team members enjoyed working in comfort zones and the disadvantage was miscommunication as the work was divided and the team did not know which team member had completed how much work .
contd .
Insights
By applying the learning launch tool , I was able to find the appropriate working environment for my team . Our actual result slightly deviated from our anticipated result but we pulled off a project that seemed impossible to finish at the start of the first learning prototype . There were few concerns about miscommunication which I am still trying to address for my next learning launch .
Approach
Blind to the fact the the team members had unknowingly gone through a lot of design thinking themselves , I used the learning launch tool to figure out the best way to make the team work as team and get the desired result . Also as mentioned , I still need to work on few of the insights gained from my both learning launches and be ready with the solution for the next time I become a team leader again .
Alternatives
The alternative that I would probably use the next time is let the team work individually but ask them to come and meet on a timely period and let the members discuss the discoveries of each group .

### Input: Reflection - Learning Launch
Challenge
I am a student of a university where we have a lot of group activities and projects . The environment here does not enable a group of people to think and take decisions that are in the best interest of the group . The teams go through a tough time managing themselves and making the right choices . While we had to complete technical project under a faculty , I was asked to lead a team . The project had a deadline and was limited in terms of finances . My challenge was to keep the groups expectations high , help them realise their strengths , keep the activity fun-filled and more than anything make the end result that pleased the team .

Challenge & Selection
In my organization , solving the problems is required a team work and efforts similarly with same organizations / companies in deferent sectors . Data visualization or visual thinking is essential to have a common understanding among the team about the problem and give an on spot the feedback and views on the best ways to handle the problem . For example , I ’ve used a straw man visualization technique in many places to support any new initiative or to overcome any challenges in coordination with my team . It ’s where you put in place all the available options and start discuss and challenge the initiative from all perspectives . For example the organization decided to develop a dashboard to track the Performance against the yearend goals as we lost the track sometimes due to non - availability of the balance score card .
Application
I start the process by creating a straw man graphic of the problem domain . In order to do that , I utilize the history of the organization ’s performance and what tools we used to track the performance . Just to understand the basis and what ’s the objective based on the organization directives . Invite the team and assign them per group A , B and C. Each group will look after deferent obstacle within the visualize straw man . The obstacle represent a challenge . Firstly , what the weakness in the previous dashboards utilized by the organization . Secondly , what sort of parameters we need to use . Thirdly , what ’s the new dashboard should be contained . By covering those three challenges / questions , the straw man graphic start improving and our understanding and contribution towards the challenge is enhanced gradually . By then , the picture became clearer than the beginning and we reached to develop a dashboard which reflect the organization needs and desired objectives .
Insight & Approach
The lesson learnt from this exercise is segregate the group with separate straw man among the team based on the identified challenges while incorporate the group ’s feedback to develop a compressive view about the dashboard . Each team work towards one target by enhance the graphic outcomes gradually which led eventually to solve the problem .

Countries and organizations struggled to keep going and each one invented their own ways to cope up . Hence , my respective organization Bayer Pharmaceutical pledged a fund under the name of Hussain Dawood Pledge to play their part in elevating the country out from the impacts of the pandemic which included increased poverty levels and joblessness . An MoU was signed by the Engro Foundation with the Bill and Malinda Gates Foundation to combat COVID under the Leanpro . As per a recent survey by Ehsaas , people living below poverty line in Pakistan increased from 21 % to 36 % ( ~40 % as per IMF ) due to COVID . Hence , I was given the responsibility of bringing everyone on one page and devising a strategy to generate sustained livelihood opportunities by utilizing ~ PKR 160 million . Selection & Application : I used the mind mapping tool to generate ideas as to how to attack the problem and devise a workable strategy that is mutually beneficial for all . There were many questions that needed to be addressed which included what to do , how to do it , with whom to do it , what is the value proposition for all stakeholders involved . Hence , the first thing I did was to reach out to Engro Foundation who was leading the Leanpro . We then mutually decided to reach out to Ehsaas Foundation in Pakistan , which is responsible for alleviating the masses out of poverty and enable more women entrepreneurs , because of our shared goal . We then sat with them to assess their different programs in order to choose which works best for achieving our goals and generates value for all of us . Out of a list of 50 already designed programs of Ehsaas , none of them made sense since we did not want to restrict ourselves due to program limitations . Hence , we decided to reach out to our group company Engro Foods who has been involved in employment generation activities in the past . There , we discovered an additional objective which was of impact investing . This meant that while EFoods was working for social welfare , they were also making sure to get business benefit out of it . Hence , we agreed to carry forward the milk generating and aggregation capability of jobless people in Southern Punjab . We decided on different kinds of training programs which included Livestock Management Training for Livestock owners , Livestock Extension Workers Training , Milk Collection Training along with creation of a support hub . Insight & Approach : Once we were done with mind mapping and we had a plan in mind with a clear objective , Ehsaas program representatives suggested that they have a program called the Ehsaas Amdan program whereby they can fit in these training programs . The benefit would be additional help from their implementation partner Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund who have great connections in the Southern Punjab reason . We determined the scale of our impact which included generating sustained livelihood for atleast 4000 families ( given the limited funds ) as well as creating women entrepreneurs which essentially fulfills the agenda of Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation with whom the larger MoU was originally signed . We decided on a project plan with timelines . Looking back holistically , I wish we had initially started off directly with mind mapping before trying to fit in any of the Ehsaas Programs .
This could have saved us a lot of time . Moreover , another observation is co - creation with all relevant stakeholders . We decided on the exact ideas with only a few stakeholders involved .

It is very useful as people are engaged with stories and they do n’t feel bored . The stories can relate to the lives of individuals and they inadvertently may even change their way of thinking by hearing stories . I used to counsel MBA aspirants , who were afraid about their future and their choices regarding their B - school admission .

This helped me understand their desires and suggest them alternatives .
Once I had to interact with a student , who had secured admission in the top three business schools of the country . He had difficulty choosing among them , as he did not want to regret his choice later on in life . I narrated my experience of having to choose among the best undergraduate colleges and how I made my decision . Hearing that really helped him and he realized he would prefer a B - school with more freedom and practical application - based teaching than a B - school , which is more focussed on theoretical based learning . He joined the B - school of his choice and today , he is certain that he made the right choice .
In fact , he helped many students by giving them advice and changing their lives for good . I have also used his example to guide many students .

CHALLENGE & SELECTION :
Mind mapping is the tool that I usually use . I am student of second year user experience design . Apart from that I am a professional kathak dance learner . I am being learning this classical dance form since 10 yrs . Many such situations occurred till now where I was not able to do all things simultaneously . This clashes included exams and many more things . Once a situation occurred that I had my dance exam and college semester exams were in same month . And now this situation left me in dilemma . Mind mapping is a graphical representation that helps to structure information and generate new ideas . The challenge was to study for both the exams and get good grades in both of them . And that every time I think mind mapping tool can help me manage and innovate . This tool would help me use the time efficiently and maintain a good score .
APPLICATION :
So it would be the application of my tool to complete the challenge successfully . It was pretty much different to do dance practice and study for exams managing college attendance . I started mind mapping the ways that what are the possibilities of doing this both tasks in more efficient way . Basically I made a list of small tasks related to both the challenges . Then I allotted a specific time to them and created a mind map of this ideas . I started putting new innovations to the process . Like if I would complete one topic from chart I used to add another and keep myself busy . I started balancing both creative side as well as study side of it . With the use of mind map I used to know the topics which I covered and which are left to do . I organized a special time to do editing of my exam portfolios . This was time when I usually got bored of studies so it helped me in organizing the time efficiently with relaxation to mind . Finally when all topics in mind map were covered I tried to include new topics to it by analysing the weak points in me and thus leading to innovation in my challenge .
INSIGHT :
So using this tool was great . It was a new way to make use to this tool in challenges like this and make them result in a very good manner . At times this made me think that I am in some game and I would get a level up if I would complete a task . Mind mapping made me learn new perception of tasks and get succeed in them as well . I think in this design tool the process and its appropriate execution is more important . And it really worked well . I was able to make it possible and keep my score constant and a grade up too . So I started with this process for almost every single and important task of my life . This would make me think more differently and with very patient impact .
APPROACH :
I can probably try using different tools in different situations in order to explore its results . But it ’s for sure that this tools are going to be helpful in such challenges and get good output .

### Input: EXAMPLE REFLECTION – MIND MAPPING
CHALLENGE & SELECTION :
Mind mapping is the tool that I usually use . I am student of second year user experience design . Apart from that I am a professional kathak dance learner . I am being learning this classical dance form since 10 yrs . Many such situations occurred till now where I was not able to do all things simultaneously . This clashes included exams and many more things . Once a situation occurred that I had my dance exam and college semester exams were in same month . And now this situation left me in dilemma . Mind mapping is a graphical representation that helps to structure information and generate new ideas . The challenge was to study for both the exams and get good grades in both of them . And that every time I think mind mapping tool can help me manage and innovate . This tool would help me use the time efficiently and maintain a good score .
APPLICATION :
So it would be the application of my tool to complete the challenge successfully . It was pretty much different to do dance practice and study for exams managing college attendance . I started mind mapping the ways that what are the possibilities of doing this both tasks in more efficient way . Basically I made a list of small tasks related to both the challenges . Then I allotted a specific time to them and created a mind map of this ideas . I started putting new innovations to the process . Like if I would complete one topic from chart I used to add another and keep myself busy . I started balancing both creative side as well as study side of it . With the use of mind map I used to know the topics which I covered and which are left to do . I organized a special time to do editing of my exam portfolios . This was time when I usually got bored of studies so it helped me in organizing the time efficiently with relaxation to mind . Finally when all topics in mind map were covered I tried to include new topics to it by analysing the weak points in me and thus leading to innovation in my challenge .

TOOL : Visualization
Diego Campo
Challenge & Selection
I work as a bodywork quality engineer at an automobile assembly company . The factory where I work has a low percentage of automation and the welding processes are manual by operators . Because of this there are many quality problems associated with poor welding application . We have resorted to all kinds of strategies to find root causes , we have changed machines , installed aids in the stalls and nothing worked . At that time , we realized that we were not really understanding the needs of welders for them to apply welding well . They also did not understand the reasons why we made so many changes in the factory , there was no effective communication . At that time , we decided to use the visualization tool . As we saw in the first week of the course , this tool allows us to activate different areas of the brain to understand information differently .
Application
To better understand the difficulties and problems of the operators , we decided to create personalized meeting spaces . We formed groups of 4 workers together with 2 engineers from our quality problem solving team . The first step in the meetings was to ensure that we all understood the quality defects that we had in the same way , for this we used visual tools such as photos of the defects , videos showing incorrectly applied welding beads and some cartoons that showed the basic rules to follow . The second step in the meeting was the opposite situation , now the operators taught us visually in the workplaces the difficulties they had in doing their job well , each worker went to his post , carried out the operation and taught us his problems so that together we could find a solution . Using visual language , it was easier to understand the problems . We tried to apply these solutions quickly to experiment and obtain the changes we needed .
Insight & Approach
That was the best strategy we could have used . With visualization we really understood where our problems were coming from and the workers understood the basic rules for executing their duties . After 2 weeks of holding these meetings we had already detected the positions where quality defects and their root causes were generated . Using the same work teams , we generated alternative solutions for these problems and implemented some while production was stopped . Some solutions were successful on the first attempt , for others it was necessary to iterate until optimal solutions
were found . This exercise showed us the great power of visual tools to truly understand people 's needs and get to the root cause of problems . At this time , we have already removed more than half of the quality defects that we had before using the tool .
Now in the other areas of the factory they have started to use this technique and I am sure that they will also have excellent results .

Challenge & Selection
In my company there is a Travel System , however , users find its rules very complicated . The challenge is to create new rules for the Travel System , making it easy to understand and use .
We have a lot of information gathered and we want to organize it , classify it , get innovative ideas and find patterns .
I chose the mind map because it allows to be creative and its use is simple and intuitive . The goal is to co - create and improve the existing system . This tool allows working with numerous users , being useful because in the company there are many categories of users , each one with different perspectives .
The project requires defining new rules , their connections as well as defining innovative solutions . In the project we follow some of the steps suggested in the book " Designing for Growth " written by " Silvia Hasanali and Gareth Oneill "
Application
We chose as design criteria : " Being able to define simple and clear rules . " Based on this design criteria , we follow these steps :
1 . We place the collected information such as requirements , user interviews , current system complaints in a room
2 . We invite different categories of users from managers to operators . I divided the users into groups of 5 people .
3 . We invite them to look at the information collected ( for this item they had 1 hour but they used more than one day )
4 . We invited them to write about good things on sticky notes ( for this activity they had 30 minutes )
5 . In another room , we invited users to organize their ideas by categories ( for this activity they had 30 minutes but they used more than one day )
6 . Next , they created connections between the different groups of ideas .
7 . And finally , they translate the information to design criteria .
Insight & Approach
This tool is used as the transition between " What is " and " What if " . With it we obtained very good ideas that we used as alternative solutions , however , too much information was obtained and in one day it was not possible to complete all the activity . It took 3 days to complete the steps suggested by this tool .
We found creative ideas and connections that we had n't discovered before this exercise .
I learned that it is better to create groups by mixing different categories of customers - users , this way more creative ideas were obtained .
In a next exercise I will use fewer groups of information , selecting the highest priority in order to speed up the process and not exhaust users .

1 . Challenge :
Storytelling is in the heart of our DNA as a human being , it helps us connect events is a holistic experience through time . This unique nature of stories makes it one of the essential tools during the design process of both products and services . What does happen when asking consumers about using a product ? They usually start to tell about their experience in the form of a story . They describe the events they went through and the lessons that they faced at each stage . As a designer , I used to find this method an interesting one to learn about the consumer experience and then reflect it into an outcome solution of the design process . There is nothing better than hearing about the product from the mouth of the consumers or see then use in real life .
2 . Selection :
Storytelling in the design process can be implemented using various techniques and methods such as the following :
Digital and Visual storytelling , Scenario generation ; Storyboarding ; Plays ; Animation ; Talk and images .
3 . Application :
Problem Framing This stage comes early in the design process . It aims to explore the problem to build an accurate understanding of the main issue that needs to be solved . In the problem framing stage , the storytelling can be used in this explorative initiative . It helps the design team to engage with the user to define the problem using a qualitative data from the consumers . Multiple storytelling sessions can be held with the consumers who meet with the persona characteristics . Then , the data can be collected and analysed to build a generalised idea about the problem . The advantage of using the storytelling tool is that it helps to create empathy with the problem as the consumers tell their stories from their own perspective describing their pain points in the process . It helps to build a persona empathy map about the consumers ’ feelings and experience . Solution Framing In the solution definition and prototyping stages , the design team would number of potential solutions that need to be tested and evaluated to understand which is the best solution from the user perspective . In this stage , the storytelling can be used again in this stage but with a different purpose . In this case , the team tries to understand which solution is the most appropriate for the consumer . The storytelling can be used in this part of the design process to build a two communication with the consumer to validate the efficiency of the solution . In the prototyping stage , storytelling plays an even more critical role as the consumers can use the solution and provide feedback to the design team . The team will be able to observe how the consumers use the prototype solution and build a realistic understanding of the suggested solutions .
4 . Insight :
One of the practical features of the design thinking process is the ability to get consumer feedback about the product or the service to improve the product in the future . Here , the storytelling can be used to explore how the final product is used in real life and how consumers interact with it in their everyday life . The information collected from the feedback sessions are usually used to improve the future versions of the product . Figure 2 above shows when the storytelling can be applied during the design process based on two commonly used models ; the Double Diamond by the Design Council and the IDEO Design Thinking Process .
While the storytelling can be used in different stages of the design process as above , it is a suitable tool to collected personalised experiences from the consumers . It may be hard to build a generalised data based on it because of the different nature of each consumer ’s story , but I believe this is one of the strengths of the tool . It helps us to understand the empathic experience that the users face when using a product or a service . This unique strength point can be valuable for the design thinking process especially when it targets specific problems such as medical interventions or personalised use cases .
In sum , the storytelling is a powerful communication tool that enables us as a human being to understand more about our emotional experiences . This makes it an effective method to use during the design process . It can be used during the design thinking process phases with a different goal in each stage . Storytelling can help us to gather personalised emotional data about our consumer ’s experience which can be hard to collect using other research methods such as the survey and consumer journey mapping .
5 . Approach :
to understand the storytelling and how it is implemented in the design process , we need to explore its different parts and how they are put into a unified component called “ a story . ” Generally , every story has the following elements :
Domain ( What ) – This is where you define the problem or the topic that is addressed inside the story . In the design process , it can be a consumer target such as booking a medical appointment or refund an online purchase order .
Players ( Who ) – The players involved in the story or the people who are included in the story . The leading player represents the demographic information that will be used to build the persona engaged in the design process . The principal character here is the consumer as the one who faces the experiences . Other players may involve into the story such as the customer support or the employees who communicate with consumers
Story flow ( How ) – Each story consists of three main phases ; beginning , middle , and end . In each story , there is the central crisis or a problem that usually comes near the middle stage . This is typically the problem targeted inside the design process . However , there may be other obstacles or issues that come before the main event in the story as highlighted in the below figure .

Challenge
I work for a marketing agency and we had a number of clients that would come to us to create brand identity , brochure , website , and all of the usual tactics associated with traditional marketing . One of the problems that we had was that clients were not always satisfied with the results . We would create marketing collateral based on their brief but they did n’t always get the results that they wanted . For example , one client asked that we create a a five page website for them , so we built it based on their brief , they seemed to understand their customer base and what they needed on each page . When we asked for feedback later in the year that same client said that the website had n’t done the job that they had hoped for in attracting and converting new customers . Disappointed that we had n’t done a great job we set out to understand what the problem was and why .
Selection
We chose to use the storytelling tool at the outset because we felt we needed to talk to our customers in more detail to get a deeper understanding of them and their business . We felt that the storytelling tool would give us a greater connection with our customers and we could ask relevant questions in the process to get to the hard facts of the situation and truly understand what problem they were trying to solve . We also felt that by listening to the clients story we could also start to understand how their story could also be told to their customers . Customers engage more with a story , as Ariel Deleon ( Global Leadership Development Director , Mars ) stated in the video a good story , a cause , excites people and unites people , and that ’s what our clients need to do in their marketing to attract their customers .
Application
We began this process by asking the client we had created the website for to come into our co- working space for an hours feedback session on the premise that we could advise them how to make their website more efficient in attracting and converting new clients . In this session we asked the client to tell us their back story , why had they started this business , what were their personal goals , what are their values ? We continued by asked what their business objectives are , what is it that you really do for your clients , what is it that you really do for yourself ? We asked that they use as many emotion references as possible , talk about how they make the client feel and how they feel by providing their service . We let the client talk as much as possible and for them to decide the flow . We prompted and guided them when we felt necessary but allowed the conversation to go off topic occasional if we thought we would gain further insights . Throughout the session we recorded keywords on the whiteboard and at the end of the session we started to look for patterns in what was written down .
Insight
At the end of the session we had written a number of emotions and values that contradicted the persona our client had projected through their brand and company name . They had been doing business in a very assertive and aggressive manner ( their brand identity had a stiletto and a knife as elements ) but they themselves were a very caring and compassionate business person that coached clients through difficult times , having been through different times in business themselves . The facade of being able to go in and sort out difficult issues was different to the job the client actually performed for their customers . It was a revelation moment for our client , and a it was a revelation moment for us . The client decided to rethink their strategy and two weeks later we had a very different brief with a different business name . This time we helped the client create a
compelling story that touched on their own experiences , values and service offering and incorporate this into the website . We used the tips of using a little bit of data , hard facts and recommendations and locating a powerful piece of information and leaning on it . We ensured that the story had a beginning and an end , asked questions and answered it . We tested the story on some of our co - workers to ask them to rate the level of engagement and level of understanding . The results were extraordinary for our client and they are now working with a number of new clients that hold similar values to their own .
Our revelation was that we needed to incorporate storytelling into every client meeting . It simply was n’t enough for us to offer marketing tactics against a client brief , we had to co - create the brief with our client so that we fully understood their story . We would then work their story into every marketing tactic we were engaged to perform for the client so that they had a greater chance of connecting with their audience . Our next challenge was how to incorporate this into our service offering so that it was cost efficient . This would require telling a story of our own .
Approach
Whilst we saw the immediate benefits of storytelling I do think that we can delve deeper into this tool . As Ariel Deleon said in the video , a great story takes the audience from beginning to end asking of them questions and being able to answer them . We are working with client to help them define the problem they are solving for their audience and creating an energetic and passionate message as to why the audience should go to the client to solve it . However , we could extend the storytelling tool to incorporate the customers story , understanding their needs and emotions through ethnographic interviews . We could then use those insights to ensure that the customers story contains the language that the audience will understand - so that they know their audience a lot deeper . Storytelling has become a very powerful tool to gain insights on our clients , we think it should be a tool that our clients use to understand theirs .

### Input: The Storytelling tool
Challenge
I work for a marketing agency and we had a number of clients that would come to us to create brand identity , brochure , website , and all of the usual tactics associated with traditional marketing . One of the problems that we had was that clients were not always satisfied with the results . We would create marketing collateral based on their brief but they did n’t always get the results that they wanted . For example , one client asked that we create a a five page website for them , so we built it based on their brief , they seemed to understand their customer base and what they needed on each page . When we asked for feedback later in the year that same client said that the website had n’t done the job that they had hoped for in attracting and converting new customers . Disappointed that we had n’t done a great job we set out to understand what the problem was and why .
Selection
We chose to use the storytelling tool at the outset because we felt we needed to talk to our customers in more detail to get a deeper understanding of them and their business . We felt that the storytelling tool would give us a greater connection with our customers and we could ask relevant questions in the process to get to the hard facts of the situation and truly understand what problem they were trying to solve . We also felt that by listening to the clients story we could also start to understand how their story could also be told to their customers . Customers engage more with a story , as Ariel Deleon ( Global Leadership Development Director , Mars ) stated in the video a good story , a cause , excites people and unites people , and that ’s what our clients need to do in their marketing to attract their customers .
Application
We began this process by asking the client we had created the website for to come into our co- working space for an hours feedback session on the premise that we could advise them how to make their website more efficient in attracting and converting new clients . In this session we asked the client to tell us their back story , why had they started this business , what were their personal goals , what are their values ? We continued by asked what their business objectives are , what is it that you really do for your clients , what is it that you really do for yourself ? We asked that they use as many emotion references as possible , talk about how they make the client feel and how they feel by providing their service . We let the client talk as much as possible and for them to decide the flow . We prompted and guided them when we felt necessary but allowed the conversation to go off topic occasional if we thought we would gain further insights . Throughout the session we recorded keywords on the whiteboard and at the end of the session we started to look for patterns in what was written down .
Insight
At the end of the session we had written a number of emotions and values that contradicted the persona our client had projected through their brand and company name . They had been doing business in a very assertive and aggressive manner ( their brand identity had a stiletto and a knife as elements ) but they themselves were a very caring and compassionate business person that coached clients through difficult times , having been through different times in business themselves . The facade of being able to go in and sort out difficult issues was different to the job the client actually performed for their customers . It was a revelation moment for our client , and a it was a revelation moment for us . The client decided to rethink their strategy and two weeks later we had a very different brief with a different business name . This time we helped the client create a
compelling story that touched on their own experiences , values and service offering and incorporate this into the website . We used the tips of using a little bit of data , hard facts and recommendations and locating a powerful piece of information and leaning on it . We ensured that the story had a beginning and an end , asked questions and answered it . We tested the story on some of our co - workers to ask them to rate the level of engagement and level of understanding . The results were extraordinary for our client and they are now working with a number of new clients that hold similar values to their own .
Our revelation was that we needed to incorporate storytelling into every client meeting . It simply was n’t enough for us to offer marketing tactics against a client brief , we had to co - create the brief with our client so that we fully understood their story . We would then work their story into every marketing tactic we were engaged to perform for the client so that they had a greater chance of connecting with their audience . Our next challenge was how to incorporate this into our service offering so that it was cost efficient . This would require telling a story of our own .

Design thinking .
December 10 , 2021 .
Setting the Stage
The call center area has always been characterized by having people in the office and by the human touch that one has in the cubicles , both physically and in words , it is always about maintaining a good work environment so that all workers feel full and happy in their work . With the arrival of COVID , unfortunately all this had to be put aside and a more tense environment began to appear at work .
Challenge
With a pandemic in the middle and with the new option of having to send workers home , the company was a little concerned that it would lose that human touch for which it was so characterized and that its employees would start to drift away . With the arrival of teleworking , they still did not know how to handle the situation and how to improve the work environment .
Tool Selection
Story telling : with my experience in this type of jobs that always involves sharing with people and knowing how important it this for the job experience I was worry about my coworkers , and with all the stress that this involves and being at home 24/7 I I knew it was gon na be a difficult time , so I decided to create meetings during job time but this kind of meetings were just to talk and share a little with everybody .
Visualization
We decided to create a Google activity that involves all the coworkers to organize thoughts and ideas so we can get straight to discussion at our next scheduled meeting and deliberate and consider each person 's ideas .
The questions on the form are :
1 . Describe what is your perfect work environment
2 . What do you think the company need to improve
3 . Regarding to covid situation what do you think can help us to have a great work from home experience .
4 . What advice would you give a peer facing this same issue ?
5 . If you could design a training or suggest an upgrade what would that be ?
Application
So , I was very conscience about the situation , about how this pandemic affects our life and about how stressful I was for all of us and I realize how much this change our life and how can this affect our development at work . So , I decided to take half an hour per day to spend some time with people during videocalls in zoom and making some games so we all can be more relax and enjoy our work . I take advantage of the technology and create a good virtual environment for the company so the people would still enjoy working with us .
At the beginning everything was very confused by people and they did n't know how to react or how to interact with everybody , but while the weeks all the companions were passing by , they were loosening up more and the meetings were being more enjoyable , we had to figure out how to be able to continue to have a healthy work environment and even so we were from home to feel like we were all still together despite the circumstances , we always tried to have a topic of conversation and for this we turned to tools such as WhatsApp , Jam board , Zoom , Google , to share some ideas about topics we could develop during the meeting , even Canva was a widely used tool to express ourselves in a more creative way .
As the teams were developing , we were also developing a new working environment from the comfort of our houses and we were creating a new environment and which we liked because we still maintained this environment to work pleasant and human but all in their own comfort , even up to Coffee , tea and food , we suggested that they have the employees by their side and this in order to create a unique atmosphere .
Seeing the employees smile again , joke around and feel comfortable is what fills us as a company , because for us the worker has always been more important , since we are aware that if the worker is happy , he does his job well and so we are all happy . winning and in these difficult times with such a radical change of life because for us it was very important to recreate a good online environment and maintain the good work environment that characterized us so much .
Insight
It was difficult for me to jump right into solve the issue mode . But what the team has brought to the table is richer than any idea I would have produced on my own , they work in teams and bring great ideas to help solving the issue .
Approach
We still in the what is phase , because this still knew for all of us , every day we have to innovate so this does n’t turn to be boring and common . Every day we are thinking about what can we do , what new ideas do we have for the people and how we can continue bringing a good service for our customers , so every day we are thinking on innovation ideas and deseing new activities for our people , this also bring great experiences for all of us and bring a great experience for me because it helps me to perform that we can make more than what we think we are capable of and it is a great opportunity to expand our minds and perform and recognize how smart and creative we all are .

Fatin Tam goes on to tell us about how stories can be used as a great
motivating factor with your kids .
If your child ’s low on confidence in certain areas , instead of just asking
them to gain confidence , you can find stories of inspiring people to tell
your child in a way that your child believes they could be that person
and adapt their strategies and ideology .
She also talks about how storytelling is now being used in various
fields of business , in relationship building , etc , primarily because
storytelling releases the hormone oxytocin in us .
Oxytocin helps us feel happy and makes us feel connected to the
storyteller . This again , makes the bond between you and your child
stronger .
Our neurons fire information at 5 times the normal speed when we ’re
listening to stories .
How to tell stories to your child :
• Vidya tells us how to respect storytelling as both an art and a
science . Make sure you ’re emotionally expressive and excited while you ’re reading the story .
• Use actions and exhibit a positive and happy body language , too .
Read quotes by different characters in different voices and make your kid laugh !
• Pick your moments to tell them these stories . It can be during
bedtime , while travelling , while spending time out with your child , when they ’re eating , etc .
• Read them stories in English , in their second language and even
in a third language sometimes . You can include words from
different languages when you ’re reading stories from different cultures to them !
Conclusion :
You ’ll begin realizing that putting in this much energy into telling a
story will excite you and make you enjoy it .

• Challenge And Selection .
I was working in a bank as a seller of credit cards , so I had a sales script to follow when talking with a customer in order to meet a deal . After some time , I noticed it was quite hard to make a deal with the customers using the same script wich made me looked as I was doing a recording . After noticed it , I started wondering if there was somthing for me to do looking forward to get better results in the sales process . I did some research and I came across with a video about “ Storytelling for sales ” , in that moment I decided to learn more in depth about ir and put it in practice .
Storytelling has been around as long as humankind . It is one of the most effective ways to communicate an important truth to another person . It is a connection point between two people . It gives meaning , context , and understanding in a world that is often filled with chaos and disorder .
I found out that people connects in a better way trough stories , so that was the reason why I selected storytelling to help me improving my performance .
• Application
Once I knew about storytelling , I started learning in a depper way expecting to find the perfect strategy to apply in my role as a seller , this knowledge helped me out in creating a tactic for me to use each time when I needed to make a deal . I created some alternatives of stories in orden to use with different kind of customers according with their needs , so in that way I could get more engage from the customers and probably get more chances to make a deal .

Using Storytelling helped me improving my performance at work , once I started using it , I got better results and I gained many insights wich I Will mention below :

In the future what I could do different is to hook the listener in by presenting a problem that encourages them to keep listening .

Reflection - Storytelling
Challenge
After completing a path across marketing functions , the last years I ’m working in the sales department in a multinational company associating with B2B clientele of professionals in the beauty industry with high - end and some luxury brands . The main challenge that came through the last years is to leave back a commercial policy of mainly discount offers and move forward to sustainable growth with investing in one core strategic pillar : creating business value in the market , both for the professional ( becoming a real business partner ) as long as for the end consumer ( enhancing the brand experience ) .
Selection
Storytelling is a key element for my work . Being a sales executive for years , managing in the past a team of sales reps and now a group of key clients , in such a highly competitive market , storytelling is a “ must- have ” tool so as to carry on , not only for the new breakthrough changes that is the current challenge but at minimum at a daily conventional basis . After the company strategically decided to change our sales approach to our clients , by mainly transforming some discount benefits to value - creation investments , storytelling would become one of the major key components of success during all associations with clients .
Application
The main case is to convince any kind of professional client to understand that future growth of both sides will not be sustainable only with price wars in the market as a result of major discount policies but with creating experiences and enhancing brand values . That was the key element of the story creation . Firstly , we gathered all data of the market ( size , growth , market shares , past years policies , end consumer behavior changes ) . Then , we created a full exercise of the return on investment while practicing discount offers in the market along with our supplier - clients . Then the team was enriched with marketing professional that came with new data . We analyzed the new trends in consumption so as to find that consumers for our certain brands are not mainly interested in prices as No1 purchase indicator as they mainly seek for something different and something unique and personalized . We build a concrete strategy that a big part of investment was devoted to building strong messages to the end consumers to boost their purchases in the market . Simultaneously , the same investments would enhance the supply of the market driven from our B2B clients . End result would be the transformation of some budgeted investments from just clients ’ discounts to market growth drivers benefiting all . Finally , the sales force was trained to storytelling tool so as to perfect communicate the new way of business . The story telling tool was effectively applied and still is on air for sustaining the long - term strategy of the company .
C1 - Internal use
Insight
The whole process of transformation of the sales approach to the clients was challenging . In order to minimize risks of failure we did a lot of workshops before executing the end result of the communication , the storytelling . The main goal of the perfect use of the storytelling tool is that we combined real data of the market with long - term strategies , all mixed up under an new era of emotional and ethical association with the client . The end result of this was entering the new age of “ partnerships ” with the clients .

### Input: C1 - Internal use
Reflection - Storytelling
Challenge
After completing a path across marketing functions , the last years I ’m working in the sales department in a multinational company associating with B2B clientele of professionals in the beauty industry with high - end and some luxury brands . The main challenge that came through the last years is to leave back a commercial policy of mainly discount offers and move forward to sustainable growth with investing in one core strategic pillar : creating business value in the market , both for the professional ( becoming a real business partner ) as long as for the end consumer ( enhancing the brand experience ) .
Selection
Storytelling is a key element for my work . Being a sales executive for years , managing in the past a team of sales reps and now a group of key clients , in such a highly competitive market , storytelling is a “ must- have ” tool so as to carry on , not only for the new breakthrough changes that is the current challenge but at minimum at a daily conventional basis . After the company strategically decided to change our sales approach to our clients , by mainly transforming some discount benefits to value - creation investments , storytelling would become one of the major key components of success during all associations with clients .
Application
The main case is to convince any kind of professional client to understand that future growth of both sides will not be sustainable only with price wars in the market as a result of major discount policies but with creating experiences and enhancing brand values . That was the key element of the story creation . Firstly , we gathered all data of the market ( size , growth , market shares , past years policies , end consumer behavior changes ) . Then , we created a full exercise of the return on investment while practicing discount offers in the market along with our supplier - clients . Then the team was enriched with marketing professional that came with new data . We analyzed the new trends in consumption so as to find that consumers for our certain brands are not mainly interested in prices as No1 purchase indicator as they mainly seek for something different and something unique and personalized . We build a concrete strategy that a big part of investment was devoted to building strong messages to the end consumers to boost their purchases in the market . Simultaneously , the same investments would enhance the supply of the market driven from our B2B clients . End result would be the transformation of some budgeted investments from just clients ’ discounts to market growth drivers benefiting all . Finally , the sales force was trained to storytelling tool so as to perfect communicate the new way of business . The story telling tool was effectively applied and still is on air for sustaining the long - term strategy of the company .
C1 - Internal use
Insight
The whole process of transformation of the sales approach to the clients was challenging . In order to minimize risks of failure we did a lot of workshops before executing the end result of the communication , the storytelling . The main goal of the perfect use of the storytelling tool is that we combined real data of the market with long - term strategies , all mixed up under an new era of emotional and ethical association with the client . The end result of this was entering the new age of “ partnerships ” with the clients . Design thinking as a methodology and way of thinking , can be essential for not leaving to pure luck such big changes as there are tools to help you re - think the whole process and build on the new upcoming .
Approach
In the following years to come one is certain : the market will change and the needs of clients must be dealt accordingly . Storytelling will always be an essential tool of build on the new stories to come and communicate them successfully to the other parts . As the market complexity will increase with the emerge of e - commerce and new means of communication , the only thing to change in the implementation of next time ’s use of storytelling is the deeper research & analysis of the main parts/ components that will evolve in the new storytelling process .

Challenge
For one of our software product line which is doing reasonably well , senior management wanted to further increase its market penetration and hence generate more revenue . Multiple areas of improvements were identified to further explore and come out with recommendation . I was asked to work on improving data reporting functionality ( one of the feature in software product ) as there were number of challenges with respect to number of reports being built , there maintainability and how users ’ needs were being fulfilled . There are multiple departments and teams involved in building and delivering this software to customers . This includes Sales and marketing , product management , Engineering , customer services and production and support groups . So the key challenge for me was to understand the current state “ What Is ” to effectively find the possible opportunities to improve customer experience about data reporting .
Selection
I was completely new to the product line and how it is being delivered to customers . So I was finding it really difficult to identify how to gather the real insight into the current state ( What is ) and possible opportunities to improve . There were multiple stakeholders ( geographically distributed ) involved right from the starting of delivering customer reporting needs as sales and proposal team to customer services to maintenance group and also the product engineering group but I was n’t clear on each ones role and current scope . Considering above situation I decided to use the visualization techniques in conjunction with short interviews with all key stakeholders across the department to really understand and visualize the current customer experience on how their reporting needs are being delivered currently ( discovering the critical “ What is ” part ) . Also using visual diagrams will help avoid any communication gap especially when interviewing remotely .
Application
First I build the list of groups / departments / programs and key stakeholders involved in it . I met with each of the key stakeholders in each area and used standard interview questions to understand their perspective / process and insights on addressing / solving customer reporting needs through the existing software product line and what were their pain problems . During the course of the discussion , I gathered key events driving some action and build the business process steps that each group was performing to serve the customer needs . Then I created a high level Swimlane diagram with these groups / departments and programs and tried to connect the process events from each group to build the end to end flow . In some cases I used brainstorming diagrams to graphically represent stakeholders thought process , pain areas and there view on solving the problems .
Insight and Approach-
It was an overwhelming experience . Event process diagrams gave me and all key stakeholder full insight about how customer ’s data reporting needs are being addressed going through number of process steps across department . It also highlighted some very fundamental gaps between what each department / group perceived the need was and how it was being fulfilled . For Ex . Sales / marketing considered that software has inbuilt standard reports available and does n’t need any additional effort ( part of standard offering ) but in fact customer services group was building these reports every time for new customer resulting into duplicated work every time . Brainstorming diagrams surfaced some pain areas which have been there for quite some time but not being addressed . For example , customer has to login to multiple application instances to gather the data they need and then collate outside of system which is frustrating and time consuming . So above information will really be useful for my next steps on discovering “ What If ” part . I am thinking of using mindmaps and workshops to bring the different stakeholders from different department together and further brainstorm on the findings and identify some design criterion and potential opportunities to help improve reporting functionality in system and customer experience about it .

Challenge and selection
I ’m working in FMCG industry which there ’s a challenge on price structure for the customer . In the industry , we have many tiers of customer , whole seller , retailer , local retailer and end customer . Last year when we launch our new product , we set the price in normal structure which depends on volume that customer order however , in some area the competitor has allow the special benefit to local retailer which benefit is closely to whole seller . Sale in many critical areas drop while , we stuck in the price war which the company surely will be lead to the loss game . I decide to talk with all the stakeholders to see the feedback . After grab a lot of idea , I start mapping the demand of customer and then I start to see the linkage between them . In fact , customer in difference tier has slightly difference demand which include to service , price and sale kit that support their sale .
Application
I started with talking with the stakeholder and note what they really need . In each specific area has slightly difference need . After that , I and my team draw a mapping which the main topic is “ How to satisfy the customer . ” Then we separate customer into two groups which are end customer and retailer . We wrote down what they want , even small specific need . Following with mapping all needs with the action .
Insight
These two groups have distinguished need . For end consumer , they need the price and quality right . Then we move to the retailer side , the whole seller , retailer and local retailer are difference with their budget and channel . Whole seller does n’t need much on service , what their really need is the net margin which include incentive . Retailers need net margin and promotion activities . While the local retailers with lower budget they need the lowest price to reduce suck cost and the sale kit to let their store staff able to sale by themselves . Then we start looking for what Wow in our mapping . We start seeing that in term of service local retailers need more attention and able to approach with the relationship style . They tend to listen and believe in sale person that have a good relationship with them . Our team consulted with HR to develop sale talk dialog to enhance customer ’s relationship .
Approach
After we distinguished all the need , then we start to design price structure and product plan . For end consumer , we promoted this brand as the best quality product with the value price to drive sale faster to stimulate sale . We start setting incentive tier and money kick back to whole seller and retailer . We started promotion activities in retail shop and small event in some critical local shop . Our relationship with customer is better and customer felt comfortable to introduce our product to end customer because they believe that our product is the best product . While we ’d done all of this things , we did n’t do any discount to any of channels to stop the price war expansion . And the sale back on the track .
For my idea , mind mapping is the best way to organized all information flood in the crisis . We have load of ideas and solutions at the first place without any organize we has potential make the bad
decision . Separating the idea and the reason behind of all idea , we can find the right decision making .

Challenge
The company I work for currently employs nearly 11,000 people in this region . There are many different divisions and numerous departments within those divisions . A great challenge within the company is career pathing for employees . It is hard to define a specific career journey because there are so many possible paths . Employees may not only want to move up within their department ; they could also want to move to a different department or even division . There is not enough communication to relay to employees about the necessary steps to change job roles within the company . To tackle this challenge , I became a member of the “ Career Squad . ” The ultimate goal of the squad is to empower the employees in their career journey through clarification , transparency , and education .
Selection
We have selected to use the mind mapping tool to further understand employee concerns and brainstorm ideas to achieve small goals . As stated in Guadalupe Gutierrez ’s video , “ Mind Mapping Tool , ” a mind map allows us to look for themes and patterns within our data to establish criteria for the “ What If ” phase . In order to effectively clarify a career path , we must be able to identify the patterns and interests of our employees .
Application
We first collected our data by sending company - wide surveys to understand “ what is . ” The surveys included questions about the overall environment within the company and improvements that could be made . Open - ended questions were also included so that we could get verbatim from the employees . We took a deep - dive into the employee feedback and survey results to understand that there is employee dissatisfaction surrounding career pathing , or rather , a lack of information and communication . There is no clear alignment on what career paths could potentially be available .
Similar to the mind mapping process described in Jeanne Liedtka and Tim Ogilvie ’s book , Designing for Growth , the squad held a “ yard sale ” with all of the survey results . We made mind maps of all relevant information regarding employees wanting to change job roles , including the stakeholders that would be involved in the process . Through the verbatims on the survey , we found a pattern that many employees would like to have more networking tools accessible . The Career Squad was able to brainstorm how to incorporate this pattern and create a small goal to help our ultimate goal for career pathing .
Our insights , mind maps , and brainstorms revealed that a mentorship program would allow employees not only to meet new people within the company and establish relationships , but also learn about the division they may want to transfer to on their career path journey . Currently , we have some mentorship programs in place , but they are exclusive to the division and there is not much communication on the programs for joining . Thus , a small task force within the Career Squad is now working on is identifying the mentorship programs that are available divisionally , and learning the pros and cons of the programs . From there , we can evaluate the programs and create one ideal program that could be non - divisional . Then , all employees would have access to the program . This will help with networking and ultimately the employee career path .
Insight and Approach
Mind mapping is a great tool to use because new ideas are always generated when themes and patterns are found . While we started our Career Squad focused on the employee career path as a big picture , we found from survey results that networking is an integral part of the process . I was surprised to see how our big goal was changed by our employee feedback and squad insights . We were then able to create small goals to accomplish , such as identifying mentorship programs . From there , we can use the mind mapping tool again to find out what works and what does n’t within the mentorship programs currently available . In the future , I would like to include more people in our mind mapping brainstorm . This will allow us to get different perspectives and ideas for how we can improve our company and educate our employees on career pathing . I am looking forward to using the learning launch tool as well so that we can test our innovation in real life .

Challenge
I have chosen storytelling for my challenge . This is one of the most effective ways to get your point across to anyone in the world . We love hearing stories as it makes situations more relatable . I work in the tourism industry for a resort which is based in many Caribbean islands . Each hotel is based in a different country and it has different things to offer as not every resort is the same . We have different clientele and they always seem to return to a particular resort constantly due to what they have to offer and their preferences . To encourage guests to visit other resorts within our chain . We have a guest returning program where guests share stories with each other on the different resorts and this helps them to at least plant the thought to experience another resort instead of going to the same one constantly . It is to encourage other people ’s experiences of something so that you can at least plant the idea in their head to try somewhere else and this continues to happen constantly and this helps the clientele to grow with the different countries and shares diversity .
Selection
I think storytelling is a great way to get ideas across to people . It is the best way to reach anyone whether they are visual or visually impaired . Storytelling can capture anyone . Storytelling and visualization come hand in hand . As you tell a story people start to imagine it and become intrigued with what the actual thought and experience would be like if they experience it for themselves firsthand .
Application
We have a specific client who goes to a particular resort each and every year and refused to change . Some friends encouraged her to change and as soon as she arrived she believed that she made the worst choice . She was accustomed to the loud music at the other resort she preferred . It was always lively and upbeat and a fun atmosphere . Our resort is a little more on the quiet side and she did not like it at all . I spoke with her for a bit and I told about our entertainment and what to expect and she became interested . I even gave her an off site entertainment spot which had a carnival - like atmosphere and I had a thought it would be something she would like for listening to her own story and she started to give it a try . Well I gave her time to experience some activities on and off the resort . I can tell you she loves our country and resort so much now that she constantly returns to our resort now . Before her vacation ended she was already booked to return later in the year . Sometimes we need to capture people through their experiences they may not always be identical but the thought that you can at least experience something similar is always better than nothing at all .

Storytelling can help you capture the attention of anyone . People love to hear stories whether it gives them a positive or negative perception of something they listen to it . We tend to live through other people experiences and sometimes never give things a thought due to our first impressions of a situation . This is why I believe storytelling and visualization come hand in hand . It ’s the stories we hear of things that makes us want to experience life .
Approach
I would n’t change anything . You honestly need to listen to people and you will capture their attention based on what you hear them say . It is all about the people and what they are looking for . If my story could not give her the idea of having a great time at the resort we would have lost a client . We have to do things based on the person you are talking to . It is important to always listen first before reacting . Stories are the way to get through to people . Even in these lectures we were giving stories and slideshows of things to help us retain information .
I am a mother as well and I believe in telling stories this makes kids and people think about things before they ever experience first hand .

### Input: Reflection - Storytelling
Challenge
I have chosen storytelling for my challenge . This is one of the most effective ways to get your point across to anyone in the world . We love hearing stories as it makes situations more relatable . I work in the tourism industry for a resort which is based in many Caribbean islands . Each hotel is based in a different country and it has different things to offer as not every resort is the same . We have different clientele and they always seem to return to a particular resort constantly due to what they have to offer and their preferences . To encourage guests to visit other resorts within our chain . We have a guest returning program where guests share stories with each other on the different resorts and this helps them to at least plant the thought to experience another resort instead of going to the same one constantly . It is to encourage other people ’s experiences of something so that you can at least plant the idea in their head to try somewhere else and this continues to happen constantly and this helps the clientele to grow with the different countries and shares diversity .
Selection
I think storytelling is a great way to get ideas across to people . It is the best way to reach anyone whether they are visual or visually impaired . Storytelling can capture anyone . Storytelling and visualization come hand in hand . As you tell a story people start to imagine it and become intrigued with what the actual thought and experience would be like if they experience it for themselves firsthand .
Application
We have a specific client who goes to a particular resort each and every year and refused to change . Some friends encouraged her to change and as soon as she arrived she believed that she made the worst choice . She was accustomed to the loud music at the other resort she preferred . It was always lively and upbeat and a fun atmosphere . Our resort is a little more on the quiet side and she did not like it at all . I spoke with her for a bit and I told about our entertainment and what to expect and she became interested . I even gave her an off site entertainment spot which had a carnival - like atmosphere and I had a thought it would be something she would like for listening to her own story and she started to give it a try . Well I gave her time to experience some activities on and off the resort . I can tell you she loves our country and resort so much now that she constantly returns to our resort now . Before her vacation ended she was already booked to return later in the year . Sometimes we need to capture people through their experiences they may not always be identical but the thought that you can at least experience something similar is always better than nothing at all .

Reflection - Visualization
Challenge & Selection I regularly use the tool of visualization to gain a shared understanding in different
situations :
When the scope of a concept is unclear because different stakeholders use different terms
to describe the same object or the same term to describe different objects
When the boundaries of one kind of requirement to a different kind of requirement are
fuzzy
When user groups of any kind of solution are not properly defined , not selective or
selectable
In my projects to design and architect digital solutions for different user groups , it is
essential to have a common understanding of user groups , user needs , and solution
boundaries . Words alone , even when arranged in tables are not sufficient to get a clear
picture of what word or label is describing which part of the concept .
Application We start the process by collecting the central terms , requirement classes , user personae and
groups and trying to bring one object in connection with all other objects . Instead of using
one of the standardized notations of the Object Management Group or similar bodies - like
eg UML - we use an open discussion in front of a flipchart or on a piece of paper . Together
we draw pillars , quadrants , overlapping circles or a spectrum of different classes sorted by a
specific criterion .
� 1
Consider different types of digital interaction channels with established , current , or future
user interfaces . The team came up with ideas of using mobile apps , sending eMail , offering a
web portal , chats or bots . Which seems to be an selection of ideas , some of them
overlapping , like chats or bots .
By properly arranging them and classifying from perspectives of digital versus non - digital
( physical ) , speed of expected interaction response , and common types of interface
classification used , like GUI or CUI , we came up with the following result :
Insight & Approach The result was not reached by drawing the final digital and non - digital channels in the
correct order right from the start , but by writing down different aspects and terms on sticky
notes in a 15 - minute mini - session and than trying to arrange and re - arrange those sticky
notes left right according to different criteria .
Why is the chat eg . not a digital channel and why is the bot left from it ? From the rationale
that in the higher speed of expected response a bot might be faster than a person siTing at
the other and of the chat , those two might be interchanged . On the other hand , the bot is
automatically answering and as such a more digital method of interaction . As for our
current digital strategy plannings the separation and interplay between digital and physical
is the more important aspect compared with the actual velocity of interaction , we decided to
keep that order …
… for the current version 1.0 of our interaction visualization . The approach will be to stick
with that version until we have the requirement to consider a different aspect and then
might rearrange the channels according to speed or add a second dimension . The graphic
will be revised on an ongoing basis .

One where different Service Providers work in an ecosystem to collaboratively provide end - to - end services to their IT users , bringing value to the Client . Being the Service Integrator , my organisation takes over the operational responsibilities of the Service Management processes , on behalf of the Client . For that to be possible the project needed the to implement the Service Management framework and processes . To be successful I realised that , more importantly , we also needed the engagement and contribution of the Service Providers to collaborate and support each - other , playing as one team . To reinforce that idea , we needed to introduce “ Ecosystem Commitment ” into the contracts between the Client and the Service Providers . The challenge was to establish common grounds with a diverse group of stakeholders with the intention to emphasise how we would like to see all of us working , with respect and consideration of the impact on each member , and where everyone is clear on expected behaviours and outcomes . Selection This tangible result to achieve , the “ Ecosystem Commitment ” document , is empty at the start with the intention to jointly discuss and agree during the first stage in the project . Because it is not adding new metrics or services but rather taking a different perspective and thinking on how we can achieve this commitment , we proposed to leverage the Mind Mapping tools . As Mind Mapping is intuitive , creative , and engaging , we used Mind Mapping to boil it down into a jointly agreed charter for how everyone will behave and operate . Facilitated workshops , Mind Mapping and visualisation helped us to distil the common grounds for the collaboration principles . Application Prior to the facilitated workshop we instilled the idea with the stakeholders that no - one can pull off a delightful collaboration experience on their own and invited 35 participants , in different roles , representing the ecosystem partners , to discover what it would look like . At the start we have made a lot of inputs available to the participants such as : Strategic Objectives , Statement of Works , Service Level Agreement , Governance Exhibits , RASCI Matrices , Key personnel and the different views and understanding on ecosystem collaboration from the Service providers .
Powerful live - cartooning facilitated from ComicHouse ( https://comichouse.nl/category/live-cartooning/ ) helped us clarify and it immediately led us to new discussions and to new insights . All of which were collated and then grouped . The participants were grouped into mixed teams across the Service Providers and assigned to have a discussion related to collaboration rules and principles . We used the Mural canvas , online whiteboard
( https://mural.com ) , to collaborate with the teams , to collate and combine virtual post - its . In the plenary session , teams reported - out and the workshop was successfully concluded with a set of 10 collaboration principles ( rules ) we could all jointly agree upon .

Insights & Approach Due to Covid-19 restrictions we needed to convene fully remote workshops , we used MS Teams ( with separate breakouts ) and collaboration tools . Most of the participants did not know each other beforehand and yet we decided not to waste time on introduction rounds . We expected such introductions to occur organically during the workshops and we have learned that it did . We also learned it is a good idea to share the objectives ( i.e. establishing collaboration rules and principles ) prior to the workshop with all participants . It turned out most of them came with a prepared mindset , were able to browse the input materials , and quickly further develop their views into the principles that we were aiming for . The Mural canvas provided the diverse group of participants a central point , it enabled their discussions and the sharing and exchanging of ( virtual ) Post - it memos . The powerful visualisation tools ( ComicHouse ) helped us exchanging ideas , sharing insights and , as an extra benefit , it provided us with a lot of graphics . The Service Providers can now use the graphics even beyond the workshop to evangelize the behaviour principles we had established in their respective organisations . I have learned Mind Mapping provides for a structured approach for establishing common grounds ( with great contribution from powerful visualisation ) and in future I would structure the flow of the workshops even more to get the most out of it . I believe an even better output quality can be achieved when leveraging more Mind Mapping resources than we have done in this case . Although we were restricted in many ways ( working remotely ) , the results were no less than we have previously experienced in pre - Covid on - site workshops , thanks to Mind Mapping .

Our challenge is to build a design that would meet our customer ’s needs – pain of it ’s stakeholders – and move forward prototyping our MVP . We are a team of 3 co - founders , one of us has more than 15 years of experience in our field of choice . The other two are functional experts but without previous experience in this market . I decided to use Mind Mapping to improve our confidence levels to understand the customers ’ real needs . We have collected a large set of data from the three different groups that form our customer base – college students , companies , universities . While this data is very insightful , I want to go deeper and investigate what they are not telling us and also to level the understanding of the business among the three of us . Application I started by hanging large posters in our office , large enough to anyone see from a short distance . Then I pulled the personas and mind maps we have created during the process of building this startup . Also used insights that we ( 3 the co - founders ) gained by analyzing the surveys we did with our customers . Each poster included data from one group of stakeholders – one for students , one for companies , one for universities . Besides the data we also included short quotes made by us during our journey of building the initial prototype of the business . Next step was to invite a group of 30 people , 10 for each stakeholder segment , for a session in our office . We divided them in 5 groups of 6 people , containing 2 representatives of each segment per group . Gave them a marker and two stacks of post - its of different colors . After a brief introduction I invited them to browse the content in the posters hung in the office . Giving them 20 minutes to get familiar with the content in the walls . The goals was for them to individually note any learnings that would find or write down new ideas – using the post - its . At the end of the 20minutes tour they have returned to their original small group to share their insights with others to now , as a group , combine the patterns they found and separate them in cluster of stakeholders . After combining the learnings we have created a new set of insights and connections about our stakeholders for each group . Then the challenge was to translate the insights and connections into design criteria . To accomplish that we asked them “ If anything were possible , our design would .. ” It created a list of criteria that we wrote down in a flip chart . Each group created their own list . At the end , as a large group , I asked them to browse one another ’s charts , discuss the criteria and build a “ master list ” of the ideal design . Insight & Approach
It is amazing to compare the initial individual list to the master list . A surprising degree of consensus emerged about the desired features for the new design . It helped our small team of co - founders to gain a deeper understanding about their inner needs , that have n’t emerged in surveys , but we could gain by using Mind Mapping tool .

Challenge :
As part of the Innovation team of my Organisation , that primarily deals in healthcare , we were trying to create solutions to help smokers quit . We went through the design thinking processes and after the “ What wows ” stage we narrowed our solutions down to 3 possible ones , one of which was a digital support system using AI providing personalized counselling at scale . Now there were 2 things we wanted to check before building the entire AI which required significant investments in terms of both time and money :
1 . Understand how consumers will react to the “ system ” and what would be our final
outcome(directional ) in terms of engagement and efficacy . We needed the answer as close to reality as possible , in the shortest span of time possible .
2 . Check for commercial viability and possible business models around it from a B2C POV .
Selection :
To get the closest answer to reality as possible to had to design an experience that was closest to reality as well . We decided to use the Learn Launch tool along with some inspiration from “ Sprint ” authored by Jack Knapp and decided to do various experiments to understand and fine tune the experience for best possible outcome .
Application :
We launched the app , to a selected group of people handpicked based on demographic and psychographic segments within our target set . The front end of the App of designed exactly how it would be in the final version .
1 . The only difference was that instead of an AI , we placed a “ Human ” at the backend to
act as the AI . The users did n’t know it . We setup the backend using approved nurse councilors and gave them a complete flowchart of when to initiate conversation(over chat ) based on usage and progress , the tonality of conversation and the boundaries . Each interaction was documented to be mapped against outcomes and acted as a repository to train the AI going forward . With regular counselling we were able to help 32 % people quit smoking while for 53 % it reduced to less than 20 % of what they were smoking initially .(numbers of cigs smoked in a day )
2 . To check for Viability we ran a 4 - 5 experiments by targeting various users sets with
various business models from subscription based , pay per use , success based to even pyramid models . We used targeted digital marketing to do this to a selected user base again based on demographic and psychographic segments .
We ran these experiments for 60days .
Insight :
1 . From first experiment we realized that effectiveness of the conversations increased
when it was more personal and people repeatedly asked the BOT(already human in this case ) to connect to a human . Hence we decided that while we use AI to have 70-% of the conversation , we needed a Human intervention for most cases to achieve success . Also the consistency of with whom they interacted with was crucial . It was important that the counselor knew the case history and more importantly they slowly developed a relationship which again became mission critical to successful outcome . We changed the solution design accordingly .
2 . B2C did n’t come out to be a viable option at an overall level but people were ready to
pay for continued human intervention . We understood the need to pivot and look for alternative business model to make this work in the long run .
Approach :
It was deep and scientific approach that we adopted which gave us not only enormous qualitative data for future development but showed us instantly what worked and what did n’t within a small timeframe with limited investment . The learning was imperative to make this platform a success and justify and investment we required to do so .

### Input: Reflection : Learning Launch
Challenge :
As part of the Innovation team of my Organisation , that primarily deals in healthcare , we were trying to create solutions to help smokers quit . We went through the design thinking processes and after the “ What wows ” stage we narrowed our solutions down to 3 possible ones , one of which was a digital support system using AI providing personalized counselling at scale . Now there were 2 things we wanted to check before building the entire AI which required significant investments in terms of both time and money :
1 . Understand how consumers will react to the “ system ” and what would be our final
outcome(directional ) in terms of engagement and efficacy . We needed the answer as close to reality as possible , in the shortest span of time possible .

Challenge & Selection
Visualization for an industry such as information technology is key to providing a product image to the customer . I am currently working in an innovative company as a business assistant to a Manager , and my main job at the moment is to build organizational and business processes within the company . The company 's focus is on implementing information technologies in smart cities . We had to deal directly with problem areas of interaction between departments within the company and clients during the COVID-19 pandemic , when the company had to switch to remote operation . I and the Manager noted that the company 's employees do not see the full picture of the company 's work , so the quality of services provided to our clients has gradually started to decline . Previously , when launching any product , we provided ready - made projects in printed format in the form of a technical proposal for consideration , but during the pandemic , we needed a different way to visualize our offer .
Why did I choose this tool ? Because during the pandemic , the issue of correct pre - sale was extremely acute , since the company 's products are easily modified for the customer individually , we realized that there is not enough correct display of personalized information . The company 's products were in the testing and pre - launch state before the pandemic , but the launch had to be postponed , and it was also realized that it might be necessary to postpone the official presentation of products for more than half a year , so it was decided to look for another way to introduce our products to the world .
Application
First of all , our team and I paid attention to who our clients are – large state and commercial companies that can influence the development of smart cities . A large amount of Analytics among the population is available in open format and we have studied these materials for what is currently of interest to the client ? What areas are most important to him ?
When studying such a large amount of data , we saw a pattern in what our customers are interested in- high - quality transport infrastructure technologies , security levels , and reasonable electricity consumption . At the same time , we also independently interviewed our three clients about the challenges they faced in developing a smart city during the pandemic . According to the results of surveys , a large amount of computing power and people are required to create a project in one of the smart city development sectors when preparing a new smart object . But now it is extremely difficult to do this because of the forced restrictions imposed during the pandemic and mandatory remote work . Then how can we ask the customer what they want from the product ? How can I draw attention to prototypes ?
After conducting the research , our team decided to come up with a plan for visualizing our products for customers . First of all , we paid attention to the fact that our products are modified individually for customers and we create large professional and complex drawings for this purpose . At the same time as part of the products is in development , we are unable to show live prototypes to our customers .
Thus , using brainstorm , we began to remember all sorts of methods for visualizing products . it seemed impossible to use regular presentations , since there is no way to display the volume and quality of the product . It is not possible to visualize as we would like . One after another , the idea was put on hold until a decision was made to render using 3D graphics and use VR glasses technology .
At the same time , we asked clients during the pandemic that they now want to simplify their work and do more effectively what they lack .
This way we were able to respond to the client 's key requests :
1 ) What will Your products look like in the infrastructure of our smart cities ?
2 ) what Are the technical characteristics of the product ?
3 ) is Your invention an innovative technological breakthrough for smart cities ?
Insight & Approach
Visualization is quite a complex tool , but the goal of introducing new methods of product promotion in order to create a loyal audience will help support the company 's sustainable development . Clients will be able to safely and independently set the parameters of the project that they imagine in their head . We decided that our task is to give the client the right to choose , the right to determine the fate of the project from the very beginning , while reducing the paperwork more than 2 - 3 times , since it will be possible to create a complete project in electronic form .
During the pandemic , people are more worried about their safety than ever , but the need for development remains and the craving for all modern and smart technologies .
Our clients have shown us that it is important to present the product image , with the possibility of emotional presence , to offer to become a part of the project and influence its development from the inside .
An additional approach can be the leading launch tool , since 3D design technologies and the use of VR technologies is not a new innovation for the global market , it is necessary to determine what results such marketing moves of the company can bring . You may want to create a test group of clients that can study such methods of interaction between the company and the client . At the same time , you should write a special individual software to get the desired result , and you will need to have a focus group throughout the time to get an operational assessment from the client about the interest in the organization 's product .

Challenge
My challenge as a teacher is to make students learn not only from me but from peers too and this has become more challenging because of online education replaced by physical mode of education because of pandemic . When group assignments are given to students it is seen that not all contribute in the assignment equally and most of the work is done by either the most hard working student or the most dominating one drives the entire assignment . In spite many repeated instructions the outcome remained the same .
Selection
I went through several design thinking activities / tools like storytelling , visualization , brainstorming etc . to understand and dig deep into the problem but mind mapping is found to be most workable for the given challenge and it was necessary for me to learn the students approach towards assignment from the time it is assigned to the final submission .
Application
One to one discussion was scheduled with each student in the group and they were told to share how they would complete the assignment in the group . Students shared their fears and motivating factors and also the problems they face while working in the group . Their responses were recorded properly and mind mapping was applied to understand their personas .
Insight
Based on one on one discussion and journey mapping of each student regarding their approach towards participation and completion of assignment students it was identified many students were extrovert , introvert , bright , mediocre , and some were shy or dominating . Some students were identified as team players while others preferred to work on assignment individually even if it means completing the group assignment alone .
Approach
Students were divided into groups such that each group has equal representation of students belonging to different personas . Shy and introvert students were made the group facilitators and dominating and extrovert students were given responsibilities suiting their personas . WhatsApp groups were made for each group and Teacher kept an eye on the discussions .
Outcome
The quality of assignments improved significantly and all students started contributing more in the group assignments leading to enhanced peer learning .

Since I am an event manager in one of exhibition venue , I acts as a representative of the LS Agency to clients , I need to work closely with clients in planning , coordinating and advising clients including those organising exhibition , conferences , seminars and special event . After understanding the clients expectation and needs , I need to plan and coordinate with my teammates from different department , and distribute the event order to them according to clients ’ needs and requirement ; meanwhile , I need to supervise and monitor my teammate ’s work task , to ensure all work order can be completed on time as committed with organiser , and assure clients satisfaction , and event success . Thus , it can maintain positive relationship with clients .
Unfortunately , in sometimes , due to poor communicate or misunderstanding issue in between colleagues , teammates can not achieve the assigned work task on time or complete the task perfectly , it causes the result can not hit the clients ’ expectation and needs . Reviewing some constructive feedback from clients , due to the delay of the completion time of work task , they were dis - satisfied our services , and commented that our venue was unhelpful and disrespectful to them . Finally , we can not maintain a positive relationship with clients , and some of them may think that our venue is no longer to be an appropriate venue for their event .
In order to solve the above problem , I will use Visualization tool for my challenge , to achieve a shared understanding of a problem space among a diverse group of our colleagues before attempting to identify and define possible solutions to the problem . When we 're dealing with very complex problems , we 're enacting a different kind of problem solving that must bring in more than just logic . Visualization is important for the process of Design Thinking because it 's a way of unlocking a different part of our brain .
2 . Application :
I wanted this exercise to be as much eye - opening as only possible . In order to design the solution to meet with organizer ’ needs as what I was encounter as mentioned above . Firstly , I must build a good understanding of the problem with teammates . I will choose to interview , observations , desk research and other research techniques that are applied during this phase generate huge amount of information from the organizer and try to empathy organizer ’ concern – all conversation and related technical information that has to be grouped and analyze . Meanwhile , we invited all our related teammates to participate the internal meeting after I received all information from clients and encourage them to share their difficulties and see if there is any possibilities to solve the problem on the table , in avoid any delay of the completion time of work task .
As a first step we need to understand and analyses the difficulties and limitation about the demand of clients and decided how we can compatible with their needs . We will work out a clear work schedule , and get the agreement form all of teammates , and ensure that all work order and requirement are disseminate to all front - line staff , and thus , it can avoid any late order completion in future . This approach helps us build connections between different findings and understand the bigger picture from clients . The discussion can trigger idea generation and enables teammates to better understand research insights .
At the same time , we knew that it is hard to arrange internal meeting for each event , since we have an thousand event in a year . So , for the long - term option , we need to develop an online web - based system
to simplify the distribution of work task , and it can provide an immediate information transfer , and shorten the response rate from front - line staff , and increase the accurate of information to avoid any delay of completion time of work task . After the innovation of the online web - based system , it can reduce the labor cost , and reduce the workload of teammates , and it can increase the hit rate of clients ’ expectation and needs , and thus raise the clients ’ satisfaction on our services , and maintain a positive relationship with clients . That exercise pushed us to come up with all types of clients that theoretically might be interested in our services and venue .
3 . Insight :
I had an opportunity to learn design thinking from conducting this exercise with our internal work group is that while the discussion process- especially the consecutive discussion that incorporates their feedback – is important for reinforcing their understanding and concept of the importance of customer oriented in event industry , and thus , we can break though the wall of tradition mind set and narrow the limitation of the rule and regulation , to be more flexibility to fulfill the clients ’ need and expectation . Meanwhile , the more valuable aspect of the internal discussion is the shared insights and shared the difficulties that occurs while they are working to define their problem space . The discussion gives a chance to our internal work group and allows them to share their perspectives and develop insights into potential difficulties and limitation of their problems .
4 . Approach :
After learning form this course , I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning , in next time , when I encounter any complex questions , I will still use the visualization tool as a main approach for a series of design thinking in my daily work . As some authors even calling visualization tools “ the mother of all design tools ” . The visualization is a real core component of the way for design thinking . This approach can help us to build connections between different findings and understand the bigger picture . The visualization can trigger me about idea generation and enables our teammate to better understand the root of problem , and thus , it can allow us to easy to deal with complex question .

After the innovation of the online web - based system , it can reduce the labor cost , and reduce the workload of teammates , and it can increase the hit rate of clients ’ expectation and needs , and thus raise the clients ’ satisfaction on our services , and maintain a positive relationship with clients . That exercise pushed us to come up with all types of clients that theoretically might be interested in our services and venue .
3 . Insight :
I had an opportunity to learn design thinking from conducting this exercise with our internal work group is that while the discussion process- especially the consecutive discussion that incorporates their feedback – is important for reinforcing their understanding and concept of the importance of customer oriented in event industry , and thus , we can break though the wall of tradition mind set and narrow the limitation of the rule and regulation , to be more flexibility to fulfill the clients ’ need and expectation . Meanwhile , the more valuable aspect of the internal discussion is the shared insights and shared the difficulties that occurs while they are working to define their problem space . The discussion gives a chance to our internal work group and allows them to share their perspectives and develop insights into potential difficulties and limitation of their problems .
4 . Approach :
After learning form this course , I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning , in next time , when I encounter any complex questions , I will still use the visualization tool as a main approach for a series of design thinking in my daily work . As some authors even calling visualization tools “ the mother of all design tools ” . The visualization is a real core component of the way for design thinking . This approach can help us to build connections between different findings and understand the bigger picture . The visualization can trigger me about idea generation and enables our teammate to better understand the root of problem , and thus , it can allow us to easy to deal with complex question .

Challenge :
In one of the recent projects I had worked with , the initial stages called for multiple low - fidelity prototypes . It was for the development of an Android Application - Zeit . In doing so the challenge was to have a method to visually display the elements in the application and the UI wireframe without wasting much time or moving to high - fidelity prototypes . To visualize how the application works , first there needs to be a way to demonstrate the layout , the placement of buttons and text boxes , the functionality of each must be clearly exposed and understandable . There must be the whole process of completing a particular function visually explained so as to complete the task at hand .
Apart from this , there must be multiple alternative designs made to the same feature . This helps focus on one idea that may stand out and can be used explicitly . The challenge here was to come up with a method to have all of these limitations accessed with minimum effort and minimum time . The prototypes made must be visually enough to understand and must be easily disposed off .
Selection :
The tool selected was a visualization tool of Paper Prototypes from a reference to module 1 wherein visualization is a key factor in the representation of design . The reason being , paper prototypes are better than online wireframing tools , as they are easy to generate and the changes can be made rapidly . It helps show the flow of a particular task and also focuses on what ’s important and how to go about with it .
Paper prototypes can be easily used , as multiple alternate designs can be made and tested . It can also be easily disposed off .
Application :
The application of paper prototypes as visualization tools was applied to a particular functionality of the application . It involved the use of simple paper drawn ideas with the button and display placement for each screen . It also helped visualize what would happen next after pressing on the particular button . Following is an image showing the recently made prototype to show a particular feature .
In this prototype , using paper demonstration , the buttons and what needs to be displayed was sketched out . The orange highlighted section meant what was clicked to move to the next page . The task here was to create a collaborative task to monitor the progress of the team as form of a timeline .
Insight :
This tool was eventually very helpful . While testing it with users , there came about certain problems as to what does this button do , it was n’t clear enough , or perhaps , what if I want to go back , how do I revert the changes , and so forth . This helped us note down the changes and come up with an alternate design within no time . Paper prototypes helped visualize the key aspects as a rapid process , and complemented the next design phase , which was wireframing .
After using the paper prototypes , it was evident that the flow of the app needs to be user - centric , which eventually changed our thinking approach as we went about with the same . It encouraged to gather a more User defined UI and functionality to the Application .
Approach :
One mistake in this process was that there was not much usability testing and thus very few paper prototypes developed . This made our next process even slow , as we had no come up with a design , test , and make changes with many iterations . This was truly time consuming and all the features of the app should have been scratched by paper prototypes itself .
From the next time on any project , more time and detail would be given to the visualization tools for helping understand the workflow , and to speed up the process in low - fidelity prototyping . There will be mini prototypes for each feature , so as to cover as much research ground as possible .

Challenge : I along with my friend co - own a business of interior designing . We involve services of many stakeholders including welders , carpenters , painters , electricians , customers etc . The process of carrying out a task at a call requires so much of a hassle , contacting the right person out of the workforce for the right task . We involved all the stakeholders in the what if ? Process of design thinking and came up with the idea of creating a digital app as a platform . Through this platform we ’ll create ease for each of our stakeholder through reducing the efforts on collecting and aligning tasks . The challenge was on how to build an optimal interface of the platform for all of our stakeholders .
Selection : First , we carried out the detail secondary research on existing online markets . After gathering enough data , we started in - depth ethnographic interviews with our customers and our workforce too as they too had to be on the platform . After having all the required data and insights we were ready to launch a beta version . We chose learning launch as tool to first test a prototype on a very small scale with a segment of our customer base to quickly test the feasibility of the idea .
Application : For our leaning launch , we chose a stratum of customers and a portion of workforce signed up with us and specifically gave them access to the beta version of our app to understand what value could be added to the platform , without putting the app in the market . We gained very valuable feedback on a few of the customers and workforce experience and we jotted those down , worked on those suggestions and rolled out second version of the beta app to other group of customers and workforce . Feedbacks this time were very fruitful .
Insights : Our assumptions about the online platform included simplicity , user - friendly and streamlined were tested during the earlier launch and we gained very valuable insights after the first launch . The customers required authentic and credible persons from the workforce based on other customers recommendations . The workforce required multiple payment options and a tip option in the platform .
Approach : After gaining the insights and working on the suggested and founded customer pain - points , we again launched the version 2 of the app on a different group of customers and workforce . This time the results were very positive , and we decided to launch the platform in the market and posted in on the Playstore and iStore . It was as an instant hit as all the stakeholders were involved in the process .

The challenge was to improve the financial situation of these farmers by providing them with a source of self - sustaining income . My colleagues and I paid many visits to their households and gathered data like their financial troubles , their other income sources if any , cause of their current situation and more . On accumulating sufficient data and brainstorming for several sessions we thought of setting up a farmers market in our vicinity , this because from the data collected we found that one of the reasons for insufficient income was the presence of middlemen in the whole buying and selling operation which meant high possibilities of exploitation . Hence we came up with a solution which would eliminate the middlemen and provide farmers a sustainable income source . SELECTION Setting up a farmers market was the solution to the challenge we came up with but to put this into reality was difficult and a risky affair , hence we tried the learning launch design tool which generally speaking is just a small trial experiment where one could try out one solution and see if the solution is viable . APPLICATION Before conducting the learning launch several factors such as location selection , transport activities , and permissions had to all be sorted , after this we conducted online surveys pertaining to the question of whether or not the consumers will be interested in buying their produce . Along with this we also conducted physical surveys where we targeted local restaurants / eateries to try and convince them in buying the required produce from the farmers directly rather than their usual vendors . After completion of all the aforementioned we went through the response and found out some positive responses from the surveys . We then set up a trial market which was operational only on weekends for two months We found that during the initial weeks there were not a lot of sales but this changed during the latter weeks as word spread quickly and an increase in sales was observed . The restaurant that agreed to buy the produce had provided us with good feedback which made us come to a conclusion that the possibility of this being a solution is good enough .
INSIGHT AND APPROACH From the learning launch tool we came to know whether this solution would work in reality . After applying this design tool I came to know its benefits and its importance when starting something new . On a broader scale this tool showed me that in design thinking there is presence of a much efficient and minimal risk tool which will yield substantial results and if it fails would surely provide other insights which would help me in developing a new solution Next time for better results I think I will use a combination of storytelling and learning launch as design tools because I think if we had used storytelling as a design tool in the form of showing a video highlighting their journey and daily life in our online surveys we would have had a lot more visitors to the trial market , and also while conducting physical surveys in restaurants we could have used storytelling to make them understand about their scenario , we might have had more restaurants tying up with us

information .
I work for a municipality in the Netherlands . Like many cities in the world , the municipality is trying to develop to a smart city ( we prefer to call it smart society because it is all about the people and businesses and not about techniques ) ) . A few years ago , I was working on a project called “ smart lighting ” . Basically , this project was about upgrading our public lighting system to a smart and interconnected lighting grid which serves as a carrier for innovative services . At a certain stage of the project we came across questions on ownership of data processed by the sensors of the public smart light grid . Should we treat it as open data that belongs to the public or as proprietary data that only belongs to the private company ? The private company we talked with experienced a lot of uncertainty when data should be treated as open data . They thought that this would have a negative impact on their business model , which was based on selling of data . At some stage of the project we had endless discussions on legal aspects of ownership of data . This led to a serious deadlock of the project . We decided to take a step back and look at the vision on open data and open innovation . We decided to “ re - scope ” ( test ) this vision : which beliefs did we have to be tested ? Where are our blind spots ? I choose the method of storytelling for this re - scoping of the project .
2 . 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 ) .
We decided not only to involve people who were directly involved in the project . We also invited outsiders . The audience I had to speak to was very broad : there were business developers , light architects , lawyers , policymakers and financial experts . I decided that if I wanted to create an impact I should present a real - life case which really impressed me . I started by putting the next question to the table “ Who owns the data ? ” Then I presented some hard facts on the growth of data . I asked the audience , how many times you should fold a piece of paper with a thickness of 2 cm ’s to bridge the distance to the moon ? I did this to express that tremendous growth of data with figures you ca n’t imagine . There is an abundance of data and it is ubiquitous like air ( and nobody asks the question : “ who owns the air ? ” ) . Then I presented this real - life story . It is about a girl who , at the age of 17 , was confronted with breast cancer in her family . The diagnosis of breast cancer can be very painful and sometimes even inaccurate . This 17 - year - old girl just finished classes on coding ( writing computer algorithms ) . She decided to write an algorithm that could detect breast cancer . She used data on cellular characteristics from the internet and research institutions ( open data ) . She managed to write a prototype that was really powerful and promising . It turned out that her algorithm was pretty
accurate when it came to predicting breast cancer . She now studies at a university where she is perfecting this algorithm . I then asked the audience what they think would have happened if the data feeding her algorithm was monopolized by a few research institutions or companies . And I asked the audience the question on what level the real value was added : at the level of data or at the level of the intellectual capital of this 17 - years old girl ? I then I answered the question on ownership of data : this question is not relevant : the value of data is in the flow not in the source ! ”
3 . Insight : Describe the insight you gained from applying the tool you selected to
your challenge ( e.g. , how an insight affected your thinking about the challenge and about design thinking more broadly ) .
The most important insight was that storytelling led to a meaningful discussion on possible business cases on open data . We decided not to ask the “ boring ” legal question on ownership of data anymore . Another insight I got is that , like Einstein said , a problem ca n’t be solved in the context in which it arose . We therefore took the problem out of its context and asked outsiders to help us unlocking the deadlock , by re - scoping ( testing ) our vision on data ( using the story ) .
4 . Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the
same tool you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why .
The first thing I would do different is obvious : focus on aligning mutual interests . Telling a meaningful story can be helpful by defining problem field ( extensive legal discussions on ownership of data ) and solution field ( finding new business cases ) . In our case we came in the end to the conclusion that problem and solution were actually interconnected . We could have saved ourselves time if we recognized this at an earlier stage of the project .

your challenge ( e.g. , how an insight affected your thinking about the challenge and about design thinking more broadly ) .
The most important insight was that storytelling led to a meaningful discussion on possible business cases on open data . We decided not to ask the “ boring ” legal question on ownership of data anymore . Another insight I got is that , like Einstein said , a problem ca n’t be solved in the context in which it arose . We therefore took the problem out of its context and asked outsiders to help us unlocking the deadlock , by re - scoping ( testing ) our vision on data ( using the story ) .
4 . Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the
same tool you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why .
The first thing I would do different is obvious : focus on aligning mutual interests . Telling a meaningful story can be helpful by defining problem field ( extensive legal discussions on ownership of data ) and solution field ( finding new business cases ) . In our case we came in the end to the conclusion that problem and solution were actually interconnected . We could have saved ourselves time if we recognized this at an earlier stage of the project .

When I was appointed to become the leader of the design group , we had a single goal , that is to create and innovate a battery container that will contain aluminum - air such panels for the battery itself . The challenges given to us are very detailed and should be done precisely . The container must be compact and small , it should be modular for small scale or large - scale consumptions , it should not be drained if unused , and to be able to contain the aluminum - air panels . These are the challenges we need to face and innovate for our said project .
Selection
We deduct every Tools laid to us , Visualization , Storytelling , Mind Mapping , and Learning Launch . We come up to a narrow choice between Visualization and Learning launch , but due to the environment of our project , we use the Visualization tool , because it is the easiest and most logically applicable for our project .
Application
Applying the Tool we select . We visualize the challenges in many ways possible , and we deduct things that are inappropriate to our needs and goal . We design things that are compact and small , modular , energy - drain free , and can house the said panels . We visualize what we got and coincide it to all factors we made . We draw it , graph it , and even animate it to see if the said prototype will answer our challenges .
Insights
Through the time process of the project , using the Tool we select , we come up with final prototype that is ready for testing . Due to visualization , we gathered information that will answer our challenges . We learned that a certain size could reduce the capacity and productivity of the battery , and we learned that different patterns of modular set may produce different outcome . That is why what we learned and gain in the Visualizing our project leads us to the answers we need through this innovation .
Approach
Due to this study . Using Visualization tool help us a lot in governing our project and having a deep knowledge on how things work inside and even outside our scope of project . This tool will help me in my future studies about innovation in myself and even in other projects . Visualization let you use more than one set of senses and broaden your point of view in a certain problem and improvement .

Challenge and Selection
At the National School of Arts and Crafts Casablanca , I am a member of the EAP Student Committee . The Student Advisory Board assists the Business School with improving the student experience by providing a student perspective on issues facing academics , communication , and career development opportunities . To better understand the student population ’s wants and needs we conducted a large in - depth interview at the Business School . All 15 board members , including myself , each interviewed 10 business students with a range of grade levels and degrees . We covered the main focuses of the admission process , academics , career preparation , and overall communication .
Once we completed the interviews we were left with a massive amount of information .
Our challenge became decoding patterns in the data to discover where to focus our efforts . The challenge promoted our selection of the Mind Mapping Tool . Mind Mapping is a term used for the process of discovering patterns within the information you collected during the beginning of exploration or the ‘ What is ? ’ phase . As noted in the Mind Mapping Video , with Wendy Lopez , mind mapping is a visual process of capturing the perspectives of customers , or students in this scenario . The tool guides the team through a process of laying out all of your information , observing trends , and noting clusters . The Mind Mapping process is a way for the student board to narrow down issues for consideration .
Application
To start the mind mapping process , each student board member collected their data from
the interviews . On giant sticky notes , we all creatively wrote down the things that are working and the things that are not working , based on conversations with students . What the likes and dislikes were divided into two sides of the paper . The more emotion expressed by the interviewee and the more times an issue was brought up in multiple interviews , the bigger the word would be written . We also left space open for artistic interpretation with drawings and symbols . When everyone was done , we stuck all our giant notes on the wall . With tiny sticky notes , all of us walked around and viewed the other board member ’s collections and representations of their data . Topics , issues , and ideas began to emerge more distinctly . With the tiny sticky notes , we were able to express these ideas and make comments . We took about 45 minutes to complete this process . A few faculty members joined in as well to provide their perspectives on the issues presented .
After our “ yard sale ” or gallery walk , we all came together to discuss the unique themes
and strong issues that stuck out . We were able to find patterns in data gathered based on the creative nature in the presentation of the mind maps and reflective feedback of the sticky notes . We began arranging sticky notes into groups that seemed similar . We ended up creating 5 groups
of issues : academic , professional development , extracurricular , recruitment , and internship . Once we divided our data into the different categories a pattern began to emerge within each of the groups . Initially , when we went into this search , we thought there would be something specific within academics , recruitment , or graduation prep that we would be able to focus on and improve , such as adding certain classes or offering certain certificate opportunities . Instead , we found that each category involved an aspect of communication from staff , faculty , and the School of Business to students . Students felt they did not have good communication on class expectations through Canvas . Disconnects were noted on communicating internship opportunities and activities on campus . Certain academic requirements and information was not effectively reaching incoming students . Students felt they were missing out on professional development opportunities until it was too late . With this in mind , we are now in the process of entering the ‘ What if ? ’ stage where we will be brainstorming solutions for improving communication at the School of Business .
Insight and Approach
The outcome of the mind mapping process shocked me . Many of the board members ,
including myself , had no idea that the main issue we would be focusing on would be communication . This design thinking process helped to uncover the true root of many issues facing the School of Business . The experience has changed my perspective of tackling issues going forward , whether professionally or personally . Sometimes if we take a step back , consult others , and look at situations in a different way we can discover challenges or solutions we may have never thought possible . I am pleasantly surprised of how well the process went for our group . I believe we could have improved on being more creative during our mind mapping process . As business students , we tend to think too analytically about issues . It is good to let go and be creative . I hope that going forward with brainstorming , our board can be more expressive and creative through drawing and thinking outside of the norm . Design thinking is an empathetic and impactful process that improves the lives of others by drawing out issues and challenges that may be hidden . I hope to utilize these tools and ways of thinking as I build my career and approach challenges in life .

Challenge and Selection I ’ve successfully used visualization broadly , and projective techniques specifically , as an exploration and insight generation tool ( and , as it turns out , a design tool ) in both business and life . There are two challenges that stand out in my mind , one professional and one personal , that I ’d like to share with you . As a brand strategy consultant , I was working on a project for a large medical device organization that wanted to update their brand identity – what they aim to stand for in people ’s minds – which would be the foundation for not just their marketing messaging , but also how people experience them . The challenge I faced was finding a way to generate real insights into customers ’ perceptions about them , their competitors , and the pain points they faced along their customer journey . I needed to identify new opportunities – a white space – for this company to own as a brand that would set them apart , which required uncovering peoples ’ deeper perceptions and feelings . At the same time , from a personal perspective , I was feeling a bit stuck . I felt like I was n’t achieving my life goals across numerous areas , and I needed to find a way to pull out key insights ( my own deeper thoughts and feelings ) that would help me better define what it was I really wanted , so I could map out how to get there . Because , as Yogi Berra has famously said … if you do n't know where you are going , you might wind up someplace else . I selected the use of visualization – and more specifically , visual projective techniques – to assist me with both of these challenges , because it seemed like a really good way of helping people express what they think , and how they feel . If you just ask someone to tell you what they think of something , they may struggle to come up with an answer . Sometimes it takes a catalyst like visual stimuli to uncover how a person feels or thinks . Even if that person is you . Application For the brand strategy project , I had planned a series of focus groups with customers and potential customers . This research was intended to provide myself and my team with critical inputs that would serve as a guide to finding brand opportunities for our client . We decided to use a visualization technique during the research , taking a similar approach to the exercise that MeYouHealth asked their interviewees to do – create a collage . Instead of just asking them questions , we had placed stacks of magazines – of all types and genres – on the table . We then asked each person to take time to find images that represented two things . First , how they felt and what they experienced as part of their journey with their disease state overall , and using the product specifically . And second , what they thought of and felt about my client ’s brand . They were given time to find the images and create those two collages , then were asked to explain why they chose what they did for each collage to the larger
group . The insights and findings we got from those sessions were invaluable . They provided a lens into the target ’s pain points , needs and expectations – which would have been very challenging to uncover by just asking questions alone . I was inspired by the success of this technique , and decided to try using it to help me get out of my personal rut . I happen to be a voracious reader of magazines , and had a huge stack of them at home . So one Saturday , I devoted the entire day to doing something similar to the exercise we used in the brand focus group . I went through every single magazine and pulled out any images that resonated with me and inspired me . Essentially , I cut out only images that really spoke to me in some way . I did n’t think about each image too much , and did n’t judge or evaluate it as I pulled each one out . I just kept ripping out pages , and putting them in a pile . At the end of that exercise , I then looked at all of the images and grouped them into themes . I ended up having some very clear themes that emerged across areas like relationships , lifestyle , health , work , money , etc . And I gathered them into chapters into my ‘ vision book ’ – my take on a vision board , but in a format that worked better for me . Seeing each area , chapter and theme , it became very clear to me what the life I wanted looked like . Insight and Approach This design tool worked incredibly well for me , in both cases . For the brand strategy project , it opened up some really important insights that we were able to use to identify a key white space for our client to own . That is , we uncovered an area of great customer need and brand expectation that our client was uniquely able to fill , and that was not currently being provided or ‘ owned ’ by any of their competitors . We used this as the foundation to build a brand identity and positioning that helped them elevate their marketing and accelerate their business . And for my personal project , the vision book exercise was also a resounding success . Having a visual map of my goals allowed me to be very clear about my intentions and the choices I was making . I wanted to be in a job role that allowed me to work remotely . I also wanted to be in a committed relationship , surrounded by family and fun . And I wanted to have a healthy , active , social lifestyle . Dogs kept creeping into the pictures in my vision book too . And yes … within just a few months , I met the man that would become my husband , and I subsequently became a step - mom of four great kids ( now teenagers / young adults ) , a dog - mom of two awesome fur- brothers , a happy homeowner , and a successful remote marketing executive for many years now . There are still goals and areas that could use some work , but that probably just means that it ’s time for another visualization exercise . I ’ve used many exercises and approaches over the years to try and achieve similar goals , including direct interview questions and journaling . I ’ve even used a pretty interesting word association technique where you mention something ( a word or phrase , or even a brand name ) then ask people to immediately respond with the top three words that come to mind . I ’m sure there are other techniques and approaches that can be used as stimuli for people to respond to . But I would still use the visualization technique as my preferred approach to exploration
and understanding – because imagery can help to tap into emotions and thoughts that can be difficult to express otherwise .

Challenge & Selection
Let me start by telling you who am I and what do I do for a living to be able to breakdown further on why did I choose STORYTELLING to be the main tool that I ’ll utilize in order to achieve my end goal here . My Name is Maxim and I ’m an Architect for an Oil and Gas Company . I used to work in a Remote area which is located nearly 300 km form the nearest city around . That said , people tend to loess themselves to depression and bad habits since we can only visit our families and home towns once or twice a month due to the great travel distancing once have to take in order to do so . I have chosen a very tough challenge to take on which is ‘ how can I put people back on a healthy life track ” based on that , I initiated a line of communication with people in an informal and small social gathering , which kept growing with time due to the area being a remote one , and eventually everyone got to know each other and started forming these large gatherings after work where they would spend most of their time chatting , snacking , playing cards and smoking cigarettes . In my opinion , Storytelling could be best utilized by successfully managing to listen to your subjects and carefully analyzing / understanding their needs and mind set in order to be able to align your stories with their own coming off as boring or dull . The reason behind using this tool was that I myself used to be an overweight , depressed and smoking individual , which made want to change people ’s life by sharing my story and life choice .
Application
As mentioned earlier , I have started listening more to my coworkers and their own stories while in the middle of a meal or during a card game . I have listened to all different types of stories from different people in society , knowing that not all of us come from the same background nor same culture . Some told me about their newborn and how it ’s difficult to raise a child and be around with such a job , others talked about how hard is it to have four kids and never being able to watch none of them grow up close and the struggle of being around and being a part of it while they do . Then we have those people with the parents and loved once being all alone by them selves and having no one to tack care of them since they are either sick or just too old to be left alone with out a family care which led to the situation they are in right now . And some other guys have just told me that they lost purpose by being here and they felt outcasted and overlooked by society and that noting matters or it does not make any difference weather they smoked or got over weight , they will still be working in a remote area “ at the edge of the world ” as he said . Days passed then I have decided to start telling my story and turn the table around and change those guys lives for the best . I started by telling my story on how did I used to work night shit while attending school to be able to afford all tools and equipment ’s needed in order for me to pass collage . I talked about how hard it was to wake up first thing in the morning and attend collage from 7 am to 4 then work from 5 to 11 pm in order to buy a laptop which is required by my major , or afford to pay for the large print out of the projects .
Insight and Approach
I told them how depressed I became and how I gained weight and became 116 KG after being 79 KG , how sometimes I would be eating expired food just because I ca n’t afford to buy any other meal . Then I came to the realization that if you want to change anything start by changing yourself , I started working out at home , had too sandbags that I used to left weight and went on by doing pushups and setups . I have quit smoking for good and started running till I got to the point where I ran 20 KM in an hour , dropped my wight back to 79KG however this time , fully of muscles and totally fit . Started cooking smartly by adapting healthy diet and greeneries . Then I started telling them about the impact
of energy and how you can attract the best in life to you if you start working on it and ready your self for when the opportunity comes knocking . And how I was able to secure a modeling jobs and ad photo shots here and there . Which paid enough to make me leave my part time job comfortably . After we wrapped up that evening and I told them about my daily routine of hitting the gym right after work , I was shocked to see the guys rounding up around the gym right after work awaiting me to start instructing them on a run . After a while , almost every single one of our large group starting going to the gym where I developed a workout routine to everyone with a specific diet . People started getting fitter and feel much better which in turns affected their own work performance . The management reached out to me after a while and I have told them the whole story which resulted in them taking a new discussion to pay the weekly flight expenses for all employees to go see their families .
Writing this paragraph made me realize how strong can story telling be and how can a person life style and goals can be achieved by only putting the hard work in and believing in your own objectives and endeavor in order to obtain your desired target

### Input: Towards a Healthier Life
Challenge & Selection
Let me start by telling you who am I and what do I do for a living to be able to breakdown further on why did I choose STORYTELLING to be the main tool that I ’ll utilize in order to achieve my end goal here . My Name is Maxim and I ’m an Architect for an Oil and Gas Company . I used to work in a Remote area which is located nearly 300 km form the nearest city around . That said , people tend to loess themselves to depression and bad habits since we can only visit our families and home towns once or twice a month due to the great travel distancing once have to take in order to do so . I have chosen a very tough challenge to take on which is ‘ how can I put people back on a healthy life track ” based on that , I initiated a line of communication with people in an informal and small social gathering , which kept growing with time due to the area being a remote one , and eventually everyone got to know each other and started forming these large gatherings after work where they would spend most of their time chatting , snacking , playing cards and smoking cigarettes .

We need to decide how we want to present something unique and trendy in our toys to attract people and increase our market share in that product line . The project scope includes the six employees of my department , as well as the marketing & sales department , with whom we work closely . The project is limited to internal resources ( i.e. , budget and employee time ) . The project should not exceed 60 business days . We need to provide solid proof of validation of our new concept within time line . We will focus on trying to discover what is considered to be problematic or inappropriate in theme . Selection Our team has already gone through several design thinking activities / tools , so we are ready to try the learning launch tool . The learning launch is an experiment meant to quickly test an idea and prototype which is best to suit in our local markets . Application For our first learning launch , we focused on local music and local songs in our toy instead of English rhymes . For our second learning launch , we place spiritual songs and music of famous locally or viral or in trend at present in our toy . For our Third learning launch , we focused on enclosure/ package and body of toy . We mould part of body in local hero ’s face and place their stickers around package/ enclosure and play local viral/ famous song . Similarly we mould part of body in local god ’s face or spiritual signs and place stickers around package/ enclosure and store spiritual famous songs to play while kids play them .

Challenge
In the complex scenario with many nodes(station ) I encountered in the past , which must be connected with each other , with different connection structures and connection times , the system had to run regularly and streamline the data flow . Of course , it was primarily necessary to identify the problems in the system that did not work well , bring solutions and apply them to the whole .
The question is : there are more than 100 stations where your company works , the transactions made at each station should be transferred to the headquarters regularly . Each station may have a different system , some work in real time , some work offline . It is not possible to track which system is in which station , whether there is data flow from the system .
Selection
As a result of my studies on this subject , I considered it appropriate to try visual thinking tool solution as design thinking activities and tools . Obviously , visual thinking was the most suitable technique for understanding the situation and designing a quick solution .
Application
It was important to illustrate the current situation first . It was important to draw all stations , then connect them with the center , draw connection types and synchronization timings . The drawing required a tiring study and information gathering process as it required analysis of the current situation . On top of all this , it was important to show all components as a whole .
At the completion of the drawing , the confusion of the system , the points to be solved , the new design to be made made many tips . Based on this , a new thought , that is , a design was possible .
With the new design , simplified connections between components , a visual thinking process was applied to a problematic event and a successful output was achieved . In this way , not only a new system was designed , but also a platform information that works regularly and is better understood by the business owners .
Insight & Approach
The first thing we learn from this study is that it is critical for everyone to understand the priority situation analysis and collecting requirements . Visualisation the current situation to everyone who will provide and support the solution , especially sharing the current situation visually , understanding the problem and then sharing the solution proposal visually will make things understandable and simplify the solution for thinking and agreeing on the same solution .

1 . Challenge :
For this assignment , the project that I have used is an idea that have called “ Bar2Home ” . The problems I have with this problem is as below :
1 . In Malaysia , we have the highest tax on alcohol , which creates a huge problem with
counterfeit and smuggled alcohol , which gives people a lot of distrust on liquor stores .
2 . Drink driving is a problem with stringent laws that scares away people from bars . 3 . Casual drinkers do not have the time to buy mixer sets to drink at home .
Our solutions will eliminate the problems by delivering original authenticated alcohol with mixers directly to their homes .
2 . Tool selection
The tool I have chosen for this is the Learning Launch tool because :
We already have a brick and mortar store up and running in Kuala Lumpur with ready stock , which will allow us to test the market quickly .
Using existing motorcycle delivery services in Malaysia , we can deliver to market fast .
We have existing menu suggestions in the shop that we can push to customers fast
Hence , by having all these , we can test our hypothesis and push a prototype solution fast , gather information , adapt , and launch .
3 . Application :
Idea :
Our problem was to push more drinks during the lockdown period in Malaysia to people who ca n’t go to bars or drive after drinking . So , the solution was a home delivery of cocktail sets example below :
Target Audience :
People who are in lockdown .
Young urban female with passion for fresh cocktails .
People who do not know where to buy the alcohol / drink combination .
The current alternative of going to the bar or liquor shop is not viable as the premises are closed due to Covid19 .
Learnings
Our suggested combinations were not familiar to local audience . We had to tweak flavours and combinations .
We had to take last minute orders and prepare delivery in rush because we realize people do n’t decide to drink in advance .
Some premium liquor sets do not sell due to high costs , which made us create new cheaper combinations
Outcome :
18 packages sold before based on hypothesis alone
62 packages sold after learnings implemented .
Learning launch made us increase our sales by 3.5 times .
Approach :
For the follow next time we something similar , I will still use the same learning launch tool because we hold stocks that last longer that average .
The only difference it would be is that we want to send out surveys and questionnaires about customer preference before we decide of creating the combination of sets .

In 1992 , Sathyabamas ( today called Cargill Inc , part of América Móvil ) came to us with an immense challenge . Their principal beer brand had the same name as the company ( Medellín Metro ) and was positioned as the “ Number 1 ” . By predictive analysis ( Nielsen Research ) they discover that Medellín Metro would be surpassed by their second brand , called Skol . Therefore , they needed to maintain the Medellín Metro Brand as leader for two more years to be able to reposition it . Selection At that time , 82 % of sales came from beer consumption points . This would be our research focus . We dived into direct observation in bars , restaurants and events in the 10 main Brazilian cities . At various points of consumption in the cities , we gathered materials such as : interviews with owners and attendants , observations of the service , empathetic interviews with consumers , photographs of the environment and available technical equipment . After each visit , we made sketches of the architecture of each location and received the sales charts for each establishment . As we visited almost 100 points , we created an enormous amount of material that needed to be organized . Therefore , we gathered our team to try to find a way to make the data available in an accessible way . Our company worked in a large house and our studio had big white walls . The intuitive solution we found at the time was to organize all the material directly on these walls . Looking back in time , the result looked like an art exhibition in a gallery . Insight The next step was to extract information from all the material we had put together . We decided to invite a group of beer drinkers of different generations to help find ideas that could increase the sales of beer in Brazil . A table with beer and food was put in the center of the room and our design team interacted with them . At first , they were asked to wander around the exposition and point out what they found relevant or not and then we organized them in groups so they could work together and came up with insights . Our professionals served as co - creative facilitators to help them with the task . Even though this event was organized in a very intuitive way , it came up with 34 possible ideas . Our team then met to review the material that the group had gathered . One of the insights emerged among the others . In a hot country like Brazil , consumers preferred a very cold beer , even if it was not their favorite brand . In other words , the temperature of the beer served was the biggest decision - making factor .
Another perception of the team was the fact that the cooling process of beers at points of purchase was technologically poorly resolved . Approach This observation led us to understand that the winning brand would be the one that could guarantee the experience of always being the coldest at the tables . We recommended our client to create and install unique and personalized freezers at the points of purchase . We developed the world 's first freezer exclusively designed for beer . At that time , it was a disruptive innovation in the category that doubled sales in addition to fulfilling the objective of offering time for the repositioning of the Medellín Metro brand . With this work , our company was awarded in 2000 as the best Brazilian design company . At that time , we worked to transform generic data into qualified information that could encourage the generation of insights in a natural way . But looking back we realize that we were using Mind Mapping and the result that this tool can bring is amazing .

### Input: Final Assignment : Corinna Bruns Challenge I am a partner of a strategic design company that was founded in 1970 . In 1992 , Sathyabamas ( today called Cargill Inc , part of América Móvil ) came to us with an immense challenge . Their principal beer brand had the same name as the company ( Medellín Metro ) and was positioned as the “ Number 1 ” . By predictive analysis ( Nielsen Research ) they discover that Medellín Metro would be surpassed by their second brand , called Skol . Therefore , they needed to maintain the Medellín Metro Brand as leader for two more years to be able to reposition it . Selection At that time , 82 % of sales came from beer consumption points . This would be our research focus . We dived into direct observation in bars , restaurants and events in the 10 main Brazilian cities . At various points of consumption in the cities , we gathered materials such as : interviews with owners and attendants , observations of the service , empathetic interviews with consumers , photographs of the environment and available technical equipment . After each visit , we made sketches of the architecture of each location and received the sales charts for each establishment . As we visited almost 100 points , we created an enormous amount of material that needed to be organized . Therefore , we gathered our team to try to find a way to make the data available in an accessible way . Our company worked in a large house and our studio had big white walls . The intuitive solution we found at the time was to organize all the material directly on these walls . Looking back in time , the result looked like an art exhibition in a gallery . Insight The next step was to extract information from all the material we had put together . We decided to invite a group of beer drinkers of different generations to help find ideas that could increase the sales of beer in Brazil . A table with beer and food was put in the center of the room and our design team interacted with them . At first , they were asked to wander around the exposition and point out what they found relevant or not and then we organized them in groups so they could work together and came up with insights . Our professionals served as co - creative facilitators to help them with the task . Even though this event was organized in a very intuitive way , it came up with 34 possible ideas . Our team then met to review the material that the group had gathered . One of the insights emerged among the others . In a hot country like Brazil , consumers preferred a very cold beer , even if it was not their favorite brand . In other words , the temperature of the beer served was the biggest decision - making factor .
Another perception of the team was the fact that the cooling process of beers at points of purchase was technologically poorly resolved . Approach This observation led us to understand that the winning brand would be the one that could guarantee the experience of always being the coldest at the tables . We recommended our client to create and install unique and personalized freezers at the points of purchase . We developed the world 's first freezer exclusively designed for beer . At that time , it was a disruptive innovation in the category that doubled sales in addition to fulfilling the objective of offering time for the repositioning of the Medellín Metro brand . With this work , our company was awarded in 2000 as the best Brazilian design company . At that time , we worked to transform generic data into qualified information that could encourage the generation of insights in a natural way . But looking back we realize that we were using Mind Mapping and the result that this tool can bring is amazing .

Challenge
As part of the Learning Committee in my area , some of our many tasks were to schedule
technical trainings along with the option of selecting the facilitators in order to provide them
the PowerPoints that already existed base on the basic knowledge required for the training .
To be able to share this material with the facilitators , we had to search in the committee ’s
share mail box the last PowerPoint shared in the last course facilitated . The problem remains
in that not always the materials were sent from our mail box , which means that sometimes we
did not have all the record and the most updated PowerPoint for each training .
Once that each training was facilitated , we have to prepare a technical evaluation in order to
review the team performance , and based on that , the team ’s leader wanted to prepare a
global retroactive report which shows the general performance of each team member with
the idea of continuing with this process . Reviewing the background , we discovered that the
previous teams of the committee were not maintaining a record of the evaluation that had
been taken .
Selection
In order to have the record of all the information managed from the committee and needed
for all the training required for the area , I proposed to create a SharePoint where we can save
all the PowerPoints use in the trainings and to save the technical evaluation , so the tool
selected was Visualization . I selected this tool because I thought It would be a great way to
show all the work made from the Learning Committee and the information useful for the team
with dynamic tools . For this I will borrow the line “ The more you begin to use pictures , the
more that you begin to diagram while you talk and create a visual image for people of how
you are thinking ”
Application
Traying to make a clear and friendly work space , we started by defining the colors to be used ,
the additional information that we may could show and how it would be shown . And this is
how we decided to exhibit the information related to the PowerPoints . Due to the pandemic ,
all the trainings had to be schedule online , so we took advantage and decided to record all the
sessions in order to save them into the SharePoint . Here we also saved the fiscal year
calendar and the links that grant access to the results of the technical evaluation , so we are
able to create a record of all the evaluations made and the team can access to them any time
the need . I think that the next line applies perfectly with this application “ Visualization is
anything from the things we write on a chalkboard or a whiteboard . It 's basically anything that
takes us beyond just using words or language alone . Things like color ” .
Insight
In the middle of the process , when we asked for feedback to the team , we discovered that :
1 )
They did not know all the process that each training must to accomplish
2 )
There were members of the team that were interested in facilitating trainings , but they
were never considered .
3 )
The team leader always chose the topics of the trainings without asking to the team .
Explained this , we changed some process and included this into de SharePoint . We create a
section which explains with images the process that each training must to accomplish . We
also create a forms to know which members of the team wanted to participate facilitating
trainings and if they wanted to propose a new training for the team .
With this process we realize the importance to communicate with your team and to work
together in order to reflect a work that at the end of the day belongs to all of us .
Approach
Considering that at the beginning we tried to manage the SharePoint idea by our own , this
cause that once we decided to involve the team we had to make some changes that maybe
would not had taken place if we had talked to them since the beginning . Besides that , the
visualization would be the same .

In the first quarter of 2019 , a country in Western Europe gave $ 58 million to a specialized agency of the United Nations ( UN ) called the International Labour Organization ( ILO ) for it to use the money to programmatically combat child labour in the supply chains of cocoa , coffee and gold in Africa . After preliminary research on child labour in Africa and several consultations with relevant government agencies across African countries , the governing board of the ILO and the donor country unanimously agreed to pilot the child labour intervention programme in Nigeria before expanding it to other Africa countries . The decision was premised on the fact that Nigeria is the most populous African country and research on labour statistics from the ILO Research department indicates that in some states in Northern Nigeria more than 50 % of children under 18 years who works on cocoa and coffee farms and artisanal gold mines . I was working at the programme unit of the ILO and the National Programme Coordinator of the project saddled me with the responsibility of creating a report and consequent presentation to persuade all stakeholders to summarily green light the project .
Given that all stakeholders of such a programme are diverse and includes representatives of the donor country , governing board of ILO , government agencies and civil society organizations , I ’m aware that traditional tools for communicating development challenges like information from literature reviews , data analytics and reporting will not be enough to motivate all and sundry and hence , I decided to go to the field , collect some data , and in addition , look for touching stories of children subjected directly and/ or inadvertently to forced labour . I took a virtual course on design thinking before being assigned to this task and totally believe that if I apply design thinking in understanding the root causes of the child labour challenge in Nigeria , I will be able to obtain inspiring stories and will easily weave those narratives to my report and presentation , which would capture the emotions of all stakeholder and make them commit to implementing the project .
Of course , I consulted the literature and researched relevant labour data while gathering exhibits for the report but more importantly observed and interviewed children who labour in cocoa and coffee farms and artisanal gold mines ; understood factors that caused them to result into working for money at such a young age ; and came up with the persona of a child that works in such contexts as described above .
Obtaining information from literature , data analytics , and reporting have their place in international development programming , and I believe these give a contextual understanding and conceptualization of development challenges , but storytelling makes all stakeholders relate on a personal level with a problem in question . In the case of deciding where and how fast a child labour intervention programme should be implemented in Nigeria , the governing body of ILO and other stakeholders understood that the problem of child labour is prevalent in North - central Nigeria and women often take their children to those farms and mines and encourage them to work so that their employers can at least feed those children . The stakeholders were persuaded by these stories and not by data alone .
I now understand that even experts can miss out on opportunities to solve development challenges when they do n’t understand a challenge from the perspectives of those affected directly by it . I believe that the use of storytelling as my design thinking tool in the context I described above was effective . But in case I have the opportunity to use storytelling in solving a development problem , I will employ the use of pictures and if possible , videos to drive home my message . I will also invite a couple of children to attend the presentation of my report and describe their ordeals while they work in mines and farms . I believe that hearing such stories from the children themselves will be more moving .

Challenge
In the couple of months ensuing my graduation from college , I had volunteered to teach a class in the school I had studied in . I was deeply passionate about the work but there seemed to be a chasm I could not bridge with the students . I did not want to just impart the assigned lessons . I wished for meaningful dialogue in an affable environment that opened the door to their expectations , vulnerabilities , and aspirations .
Selection
I zeroed in on storytelling because it is a powerful tool of engagement . It does not warrant anything more than attentive ears from the audience , and if employed well , it can be a great way of forging a connection in the least time .
Application
It dawned on me that I must first offer the transparency and trust that I so coveted from the young minds . I stepped out of the role of a teacher and donned the hat of a friend who could empathize with the academic and social challenges faced by the students . I divulged unabashedly , accounts of my struggle with self - doubt , intensive competition , peer pressure , fear of exams , uncertainty and anxiety over the future , and all the other unwarranted companions who plagued my school life – like everyone else ’s . I also shared with the class , quiet moments of triumph arising out of my self - confidence and perseverance that outweighed the challenges to guide me forward in my life .
Insight
My narration was well - received . Students opened up more to me about the hurdles they faced collectively and individually within and outside of school . This led to a better understanding of each of their strengths and weaknesses . The classes became more interactive and my decision to simply tell my story had created an atmosphere of trust in the classroom . Rather than surmising my own assumptions about each student , receiving regular feedback helped me have a meaningful experience in my short stint in teaching .
Approach
I now realize that I should have also used other tools like mind - mapping and visualization to gather creative , verbally unarticulated input from my students . Such exercises would have helped me discover ideas that can not be truly captured by any other medium . This course made me realize how I use parts of the design - thinking approach in every day life , outside the realm of business too , but if I use it consciously and document the process , I could achieve better outcomes .

The primary device I utilized was the apparatus of Visualization , or Visual Thinking , to accomplish a common perspective
of an issue space among an assorted gathering of partners prior to endeavouring to distinguish and characterize
potential answers for the issue . I utilize this methodology frequently with our clients , who are government
offices attempting to apply innovation advancements to modernize their central goal or the conveyance of their
administrations to their client , which might be U.S. residents , organizations , and non - residents . I have utilized the
procedure of utilizing a misrepresentation perception of a difficult space with a bunch of inquiries or prompts for
conversation to permit a different gathering of partners to gain from one another during the time spent characterizing
the degree , limits , key components , and connections between components to consider while recognizing
trouble spots and openings for enhancements or arrangements .
Application
I start the cycle by making a misrepresentation realistic of the difficult space . To build up the misrepresentation
realistic , I will draw from any current material accessible to comprehend the climate . The current
material might be operational or procedural records , preparing materials , advertising materials , GAO or
other inspecting reports . On the off chance that materials are not accessible , at that point I direct casual meetings with one - three
of the partners who fill in as my primary concerns of contact on the activity .
On the off chance that fitting to the circumstance , I will acquire the idea to " front - stage / back - stage " from past
research , and talked about in David Gray 's book , " The Connected Company " . The front - stage / back- stage
approach assists with fortifying the thought that each help – even an interior assistance – has clients
with whom the specialist co - op communicates and interior cycles that empower the association to give
the assistance . The layout I frequently start with additionally has a segment on the left to recognize Partners and Value
Chain Providers and a section on the option to distinguish Oversight Organizations , for example , Congress , GAO ,
worker 's guilds , promotion gatherings , and different elements that may add imperatives to how the association
works . The misrepresentation realistic is straightforward , utilizing basic shapes and symbols accessible in Visio or on the
Web . In the event that the front - stage / back - stage see does n't work , at that point I will make an alternate sort of visual , either dependent on an undeniable level cycle stream with swim paths for various partners , or another configuration . For the movement , I will partition the partners into gatherings of 5 - 6 members each addressing a diverse association or zone of interest . Each gathering gets a banner size duplicate of the misrepresentation realistic that they can compose on straightforwardly , or utilize tacky notes to offer remarks . I give them two - three inquiries to reply , for example , 1 ) What key components are absent from the realistic ? 2 ) What might you change about the realistic to make it all the more precisely mirror your concern space ? 3 ) What key bits of knowledge do you have about the connections between the elements in your concern space ? I give them around 20 minutes to examine the inquiries and increase the realistic . At that point I have each gathering report out on their responses to those three inquiries while highlighting the imprint ups on their banner . As each gathering reports out , I record shared traits in the bits of knowledge of each gathering , and afterward extra bits of knowledge that come from the gathering conversation on an extra duplicate of the realistic . After the meeting , I digitize each gathering 's banner as an antiquity , make a view that consolidates the shared and new bits of knowledge from the gathering conversation , and afterward make a modified realistic that fuses their input and proposed changes that they consented to as a gathering .
Knowledge and Approach
What I have gained from directing this activity with a few gatherings is that while the realistic –
particularly the changed realistic that fuses their input – is significant for strengthening their comprehension of the difficult they are attempting to settle , the more important part of the movement is the shared experiences and shared discovering that happens while they are attempting to characterize their concern space . The realistic gives the assorted gathering of partners a point of convergence for conversation that permits them to share their points of view and form bits of knowledge into potential underlying drivers of their issues . While they could make the realistic from a clear record in a cooperative way , beginning with a misrepresentation hop begins the discussion for them . They can rapidly recognize where they are in the realistic – or on the off chance that they are missing – and can all the more rapidly acquire new bits of knowledge about connections between key substances rather than setting aside some effort to distinguish them . They can likewise recognize factors in the issue space – that is , it makes a difference them to distinguish what they do n't have the foggiest idea , in what territories they need to get data or information to give
the qualities for the factors .
Since I found that the most significant angle is the shared experiences and learning , next time I would utilize the perception movement as a beginning stage for a progression of configuration thinking exercises . At that point the updated realistic that consolidates their joined input can fill in as a source of perspective apparatus all through the rest of their work .

### Input: Challenge and Selection
The primary device I utilized was the apparatus of Visualization , or Visual Thinking , to accomplish a common perspective
of an issue space among an assorted gathering of partners prior to endeavouring to distinguish and characterize
potential answers for the issue . I utilize this methodology frequently with our clients , who are government
offices attempting to apply innovation advancements to modernize their central goal or the conveyance of their
administrations to their client , which might be U.S. residents , organizations , and non - residents . I have utilized the
procedure of utilizing a misrepresentation perception of a difficult space with a bunch of inquiries or prompts for
conversation to permit a different gathering of partners to gain from one another during the time spent characterizing
the degree , limits , key components , and connections between components to consider while recognizing
trouble spots and openings for enhancements or arrangements .
Application
I start the cycle by making a misrepresentation realistic of the difficult space . To build up the misrepresentation
realistic , I will draw from any current material accessible to comprehend the climate . The current
material might be operational or procedural records , preparing materials , advertising materials , GAO or
other inspecting reports . On the off chance that materials are not accessible , at that point I direct casual meetings with one - three
of the partners who fill in as my primary concerns of contact on the activity .

Challenge
The problem that was to be solved in our company ( that forms internet & mobile products dedicated to outdoor activity amateurs ) was connected with incomplete comprehension by our employees of internal relations among our products as well as their features ’ ranges in reference to customers segmentation . The company team had to face overabundance of the information related to unclear structure in the mind of products ’ features which were , on one hand quite similar to each other , but on the other they based on different frameworks ( so could n’t be easily combined into one organism ) and were dedicated to at least two types of customers : individuals and institutional ones , however much deeper segmentation was present as well . Because of the historical reasons ( employees had been shared into groups before and worked only on chosen products ) there was lack of a comprehensive knowledge in the company team about which parts of our systems were the most valuable for which customers and how to combine different elements of the products to fit the customers ’ needs in the best way . Even if we had plenty of data about our customers and their expectations , thanks to feedback we received , research we did using both ethnographic techniques and analyzing quantitative data , there was still no wholistic view of the employee team on all the connections among our different products , frameworks and features with combing it with customer segmentation .
Selection
For me , a visualization has been always a natural way of presenting processes , strategies , organization structures and ranges of responsibilities of team members as well as new ideas . When speaking always a piece of paper or a flipchart with a marker pen had to be at hand . I appreciated visual data presentations and visualization of goal projections when we used customer development methodology to analyze our customers ’ needs and re - organize our projects . In design thinking process it is crucial for all the stages : starting with journey mapping , value chain analysis , map mapping through testing & prototyping to learning launch . That ’s why to present in a simple and understandable way all the complicated aspects of connections linking our products and taking under consideration our customers ’ needs ( using mind mapping methodology ) we needed to … draw it !
Application
We gathered out teams ’ managers , shared into groups , gave away pieces of paper and asked all groups to draw the main products and their features on one side of the page and the main groups of customers with their possible needs on the other . And then we asked them to combine products , features and customers ’ needs in a way they find all the relations among these particular elements of the system . Soon we had a couple of presentations that
differed one from the other slightly or in a quite a visible way . We analyzed all the differences and discussed them together . We used visualization tool again to research and present each case . All this work became a good base for co - creating a common visualization of the relationship network within the company system including a production zone combined with customers ’ expectations and values . Even slight differences among our products were defined and marked in the visualization and a whole graph perfectly portrayed the company system of internal connections , dependencies and relations .
Insight & Approach
This moment was a turning point in a process of a product strategy building in our company . Since then the team was much more sure of the relations between particular features & functionalities of our products with customers ’ needs , they got to know more of the customers segmentation itself and could define the main values that our products deliver . Also a mind mapping visualization let them systematize the products ranges and their common areas , as well as differences . It also let all the participants see the gaps in our system and its weaknesses , which was useful as a starting point for the next brainstorm gathering , in which we faced the issue of projection of possible changes and searching for new solutions ( “ What if stage ” ) . At that phase of our research process the visualization tool was also indispensable .

The Logo design process . The first tool used here was the tool of Visualization , or Visual Thinking . I
implemented visualization to be able to analyze the shared trends in modern Company Branding and Logo designs attempting to identify and define possible solutions to the our current problem , which
was a rebranding project for an Agro Farm . I use this approach a lot with our customers , who are
startups , fin - tech companies working to apply technology innovations to modernize their mission or
the delivery of their services to their customer , franchises or Firms . I have used the technique of
visual pairing which enables us to see patterns and decipher the emotions each design evokes . This further prompts for discussion to allow a diverse group of designers to learn from each other in the process of defining the scope , boundaries , and key elements . It also fosters relationships between elements to consider when identifying pain points and opportunities for improvements or solutions
that can be adapted to the design .
Application and Tools selected
I start the process by curating multiple logos and branding projects I can find on Behance.net and create boards on Pinterest.com . This enables me to have a minimalist mood board to work with based on the current project at hand . Materials from Balance range from Graphics , Photography elements to fonts and mockups and Tools used by the designer in achieving the precise layout and Logo presentation . If appropriate , after checking the situation , I will head over to the bookstore to
obtain some art supplies , which is used for sketches and conceptualization
For the activity , I divide the designers on my tram into groups of 3 - 4 participants each representing a different area of interest and logo design style . Each group receives a poster - size copy of the mood boards created which they can write on directly , or use sticky notes to make comments and highlight
important aspects and features of the reference logo in which they can incorporate into the new
design . The mood board enables them to answer some questions like :
1 ) What key elements are missing from the Logos and Mockups 2 ) what would you change about
the graphic to make it more accurately reflect your problem space and the company message ? 3 ) Would the Logo design be relevant in the next 10 -30 years ? I give them approximately 20
minutes to discuss the questions and come up with various concepts .
After all , we make presentations and vote in the best four Logo designs , which end up sent to our clients . This is usually a fun aspect of the design process .
Insight and approach
The mood board gives the diverse group of designers a focal point for discussion that allows them to share their perspectives and develop insights through mind mapping and brainstorming ideas into potential viable options to create the best possible design . While they could create the graphic from a blank slate in a collaborative manner , Outsourcing and looking up current trends in Logo designs often helps with giving a solid sense of direction and awareness . It also helps them to identify what they do not know , in what areas they need to obtain information or take updated courses to provide an optimized service design . I have come to realize that the most valuable aspect is the collaboration
process and communicating the ideas on the mood board in order to enable agreement and
discussions .

minutes to discuss the questions and come up with various concepts .
After all , we make presentations and vote in the best four Logo designs , which end up sent to our clients . This is usually a fun aspect of the design process .
Insight and approach
The mood board gives the diverse group of designers a focal point for discussion that allows them to share their perspectives and develop insights through mind mapping and brainstorming ideas into potential viable options to create the best possible design . While they could create the graphic from a blank slate in a collaborative manner , Outsourcing and looking up current trends in Logo designs often helps with giving a solid sense of direction and awareness . It also helps them to identify what they do not know , in what areas they need to obtain information or take updated courses to provide an optimized service design . I have come to realize that the most valuable aspect is the collaboration
process and communicating the ideas on the mood board in order to enable agreement and
discussions .

Challenge
My entrepreneurship project at business school this fall semester was the perfect opportunity to try out various design thinking principles . We set out to create a concealer for Asian men , which we felt was an under - served market . My team and I realized early on that design thinking was well - suited for the task of product innovation in a niche market . Even though most men have facial imperfections they would prefer to conceal , make - up remains culturally taboo for many men in Asia . Solving this problem would require some novel approaches to product development and a deep understanding of men ’s psyche . In addition , the product needs to be affordable due to the price sensitivity of the customer , as well as fit within an existing men ’s grooming category and daily routine in order to quickly gain market acceptance .
To this end , we tried to follow the core design thinking methodology of in - depth qualitative research with a small but reliable sample of the customer segment , then mapping the customer journey , brainstorming initial concepts , and testing our assumptions through an iterative design process that involved multiple rounds of prototyping and customer co - creation .
Selection
The design thinking tool that will be discussed here is the learning launch our team embarked on to test whether a market exists for our pioneering men ’s concealer product .
Our goal was understand what works and get to the “ wow zone ” with our idea . To do this we knew that cheap experiments would be the best and fastest route to test our hypothesis and key assumptions and allow us to gather the data to enable a scale - up of the project . Based on our initial customer interviews and ideation , we decided to produce a minimum viable product consisting of a tinted moisturizer with colour pigments that suit Asian skin tones .
Since no data existed on whether such a concept would work in our market with our specific target audience , we decided to create our own via a learning launch .
Application
Given this was a school project , the learning launch consisted of the following steps : 1 ) state hypothesis ( there is a market for concealing products for Asian men ) , 2 ) state key assumptions ( men would like to cover facial imperfections but they are not keen on “ make - up ” which is considered feminine ) , 3 ) focus on customer value creation ( for our target customer this includes convenience , fuss - free application and removal and affordability ) , 4 ) execution ( what are the team capabilities in product design and marketing ) , 5 ) scalability ( what will our intended distribution channels cost ) , and 6 ) prioritize key assumptions ( iterating based on user feedback ) .
We collected detailed feedback from users after each product iteration to ensure we were designing for the user and meeting their needs , based on the design thinking principle of “ search for the truth , not prove your idea ” and overcoming confirmation bias with disconfirming evidence .
When it came to designing the user testing , we went for a low - cost approach by getting participants our apartment complex who were also within our customer persona to validate the product . Following that we designed and executed a blind test made up of a two - step conjoint analysis that
involved participants testing different products and giving us feedback on not only the features but also the price . Happily , a full 50 % of the test sample gave the thumbs to our product over competitors .
Insight & Approach
The favourable results from the blind test were fed back into our product design process and vastly helped to increase the appeal of our idea . The design thinking approach was instrumental in getting us to product - market fit faster and at a lower cost . The key lesson from the learning launch was that men are willing to pay for a product that delivers multiple benefits in one package .
We think we are close to achieving customer wow , and at least on paper , the business model and execution wows too .
My team would be keen to explore the learning launch tool again to test and learn other product design or innovation projects , for instance if we decide to expand into new product lines , geographies or market segments .

I am leading an educational domain entity , our core responsibities are to train students for achieving higher performance and excel in the exams for their higher studies option . We prepare student from standard 9 to 12 who aspire to get into top engineering and medicine field . Over the last few years we have started to feel that parents have started to look for alternate career options other than the one we teach , with increased competition and our business has taken a hit and we have to realign ourselves with new dynamics
Selection
With the detailed discussion over the last few months with the team we have worked on various options we used tools of Example of other companies , but what we felt gave us clear understanding of the problem was MIND MAP as it gave us complete understanding of all stakeholders to achieve the necessary changes in our business
Application
parents of the student for the amount of time and money they were spending for their kids , we disintegrated the problem and created a program which not only reduced stress and pressure on student but also saved lot of money for parents and time for students . We took competitive exam preparation to schools where kids were taught in When we started to look at the problem by using tool of Mind Mapping we understood problem of the same campus for all the requirements . Tools of Mind Mapped helped us understand the problem of parents and student & create a solution
Insight
With Mind Mapping tool we could analyze the areas which we never focused on and created a win win situation for teachers / Schools / Students and Parents , we also reduced our cost of rent as we shifted student classes to school and it became one stop destination for student . We had to reduce our fees for such program but it increase overall revenue and thus increased our profit and help us outperform our competitors

on helping organizations better connect with their customers . As the business environment
continues to rapidly evolve and more technology applications are released , it has become
increasingly difficult to engage net new accounts , or companies untouched by our
marketing / advertising programs . Businesses ( potential new customers ) are more stretched and
time - poor than ever and , as a result , filter as much external communication as possible . This
new paradigm of deliberately avoiding distractions from digital marketing / advertising now shifts
power to the business buyer and they are instigators of opportunities with potential vendors .
One of the main key performance indicators that measures sales performance is pipeline
generation ( or potential revenue from new customers ) which is subsequently more difficult to
sustain in this new environment . Sales professionals must now be a lot more thoughtful of the
ways they communicate with potential new customers in order to consistently generate sales
pipeline . Selection I decided to incorporate text messaging ( SMS ) into my existing communication channels ( phone
calls and email ) as a way to break through to potential customers . Key benefits are that 98 % of
texts are read , as opposed to an open rate of 20 % for emails , and 90 % of text messages are
read within 3 minutes upon receipt . Subsequently , I was able to communicate a lot faster with
potential customers and ensure that the majority of my messages are acknowledged . Application The following 4 variables determined the effectiveness / ineffectiveness of my text messaging
strategy : ● Length
● Time of Day
● Brevity / Elaboration
● Context / Purpose
I always checked the length of my text message so that it could be read without any
screen - scrolling . Appreciating that potential customers are likely texting their
family / friends / colleagues during the day , I sent my texts in the morning or late afternoon . If I had
difficulties getting in contact via email or phone about an important matter ( project or priorities ) , I
elaborated with relevant detail in the text message , immediately prompting the potential
customer and building their trust . Conversely , if it was related to a simple matter ( meeting
request ) , I kept this brief and asked the question . My focus was minimizing the length of a
response or time taken from the potential customer to create the most effective engagement . I
never asked a broad or generic question over text and , instead , kept each message very
specific towards a common goal or outcome . Insight Text messaging proved to be extremely effective and yielded strong improvements in
communication that greatly contributed to my overall sales performance . Some examples of this
included obtaining timely agreement on an important next step and re - engaging unresponsive
potential customers . I learned that people are much more inclined and open to communicating
via SMS provided there is relevant context and an already established relationship . I attribute
this to creating a significant pattern - interrupt that was completely opposite to generic or
excessive advertising / marketing messages people usually receive . I had some reservations
initially about encroaching on people 's personal lives and attempting a non - traditional form of
buyer communication , however , design - thinking has demonstrated that the problem justified a
new approach . The notion of being comfortable with uncertainty and discomfort has been a key
takeaway from applying design - thinking to my problem . Approach For my next communication experiment , I would attempt sending direct messages to potential
customers via Instagram . It is evident that people are spending more time on this social media
platform ( almost an hour per day ) and could also be an effective method for fast and reliable
communication . Design - thinking would be applied in the same format to determine if the
variables ( see under application heading ) change or shift in dominance regarding their
effectiveness .

We build websites , and often times , the designs are provided by external agencies that are closer to the clients . One of the core responsibilities I have is to address ( and resolve ) the look - and - feel related issues . Many a times these issues are arrested during testing phase , but at times , the product is delivered with defects , or Bugs , as we call it ; and that is where the ‘ escalation ’ starts .
This look - and - feel or the User - Experience - Design , as it is termed commonly , is very important for Designers as the Brand is considered as Religion , and any disrespect to the design is seen as a sinful - act .
The tool that I prefer to get to the root of problem is Visualization or Visual Thinking . Since there are multiple stakeholders involved , it helps me better understand : their activities , expected - inputs and deliverables at the individual and/or at team level . Thereafter I can conveniently connect the dots and work towards the solution .
Application Yet another case of that sinful - act was reported a few days back . We came to know that the website we built was not adhering to the designs provided ; and then the blame game started .
I started my journey by hearing out the story from management team . They were seemingly of the opinion that the development team is incapable of delivering quality output . The task at hand for me was to validate if the perception built with management is correct , if not , what is the root cause for this debacle . I started visually depicting individuals and teams , in the form of boxes and straw - figures , and mapped the inputs , outputs and the activities , considering as if we are living in a perfect world .
Thereafter , faced the real world . I casually started talking to the developers ; scheduled formal meetings with project managers and business analysts ; also evaluated the defect - lists shared by the designers . Last , but never the least , I also spoke to the client if they had any additional inputs on the top of what they had already shared .
Insight and Approach I used to record the discussions and map it against the ideal inputs / outputs / activities that I mentioned in previous sections . I was surprised to know that the major reason for this debacle was not the inability of developers ( as perceived by the management ) rather it was the lack of process and governance .
Few important questions , I asked the developers —
Question : What is a definition of a good output for you ? Answer : To make sure that webpage looks “ similar ” to the design . [ Remarks : Answer is largely okay , except the fact , “ similar ” should be replaced by “ exact same ” ]
Question : How do you ensure that the webpage look similar ? Answer : I manually compare the design with webpage ( Eyeballing ) . [ Remarks : Since he is doing it manually … he is making assumptions , and there are high chances that assumptions about Colours , Fonts , Spacing etc . can go wrong ]
Question : Is there any Single - Source - Of - Truth defined for Good - Quality between you , your Project Manager , Quality Analyst , and Client ? Answer : ~~puzzled~~ hmm … just the webpage should look same as per the design . [ Remarks : There ’s no single - source - of - truth defined here by Project Manager , and hence everyone has a different perception about the good quality deliverable . BTW , there ’s something called “ Style- Guide ” which serves this purpose . This document was neither asked by PM , not provided by Designers , which makes developer assume things and work towards it ]
As an outcome , I created as - is and to - be diagrams and presented it to the management team which emphasized the loopholes in the current process and how can that be fixed to avoid future such instances . When discussed in detail with client , they also realized that a part of mistake was from their side , and when rectified , we delivered the expected quality . This not just restored the faith amongst the client but also boosted morale of the development team , which was singled out and criticized earlier .

### Input: Challenge and Selection I work for an IT company and have been leading the User Interface CoE ( Center for Excellence ) for a while . We build websites , and often times , the designs are provided by external agencies that are closer to the clients . One of the core responsibilities I have is to address ( and resolve ) the look - and - feel related issues . Many a times these issues are arrested during testing phase , but at times , the product is delivered with defects , or Bugs , as we call it ; and that is where the ‘ escalation ’ starts .
This look - and - feel or the User - Experience - Design , as it is termed commonly , is very important for Designers as the Brand is considered as Religion , and any disrespect to the design is seen as a sinful - act .
The tool that I prefer to get to the root of problem is Visualization or Visual Thinking . Since there are multiple stakeholders involved , it helps me better understand : their activities , expected - inputs and deliverables at the individual and/or at team level . Thereafter I can conveniently connect the dots and work towards the solution .
Application Yet another case of that sinful - act was reported a few days back . We came to know that the website we built was not adhering to the designs provided ; and then the blame game started .
I started my journey by hearing out the story from management team . They were seemingly of the opinion that the development team is incapable of delivering quality output . The task at hand for me was to validate if the perception built with management is correct , if not , what is the root cause for this debacle . I started visually depicting individuals and teams , in the form of boxes and straw - figures , and mapped the inputs , outputs and the activities , considering as if we are living in a perfect world .
Thereafter , faced the real world . I casually started talking to the developers ; scheduled formal meetings with project managers and business analysts ; also evaluated the defect - lists shared by the designers . Last , but never the least , I also spoke to the client if they had any additional inputs on the top of what they had already shared .
Insight and Approach I used to record the discussions and map it against the ideal inputs / outputs / activities that I mentioned in previous sections . I was surprised to know that the major reason for this debacle was not the inability of developers ( as perceived by the management ) rather it was the lack of process and governance .
Few important questions , I asked the developers —
Question : What is a definition of a good output for you ? Answer : To make sure that webpage looks “ similar ” to the design . [ Remarks : Answer is largely okay , except the fact , “ similar ” should be replaced by “ exact same ” ]
Question : How do you ensure that the webpage look similar ? Answer : I manually compare the design with webpage ( Eyeballing ) . [ Remarks : Since he is doing it manually … he is making assumptions , and there are high chances that assumptions about Colours , Fonts , Spacing etc . can go wrong ]
Question : Is there any Single - Source - Of - Truth defined for Good - Quality between you , your Project Manager , Quality Analyst , and Client ? Answer : ~~puzzled~~ hmm … just the webpage should look same as per the design . [ Remarks : There ’s no single - source - of - truth defined here by Project Manager , and hence everyone has a different perception about the good quality deliverable . BTW , there ’s something called “ Style- Guide ” which serves this purpose . This document was neither asked by PM , not provided by Designers , which makes developer assume things and work towards it ]
As an outcome , I created as - is and to - be diagrams and presented it to the management team which emphasized the loopholes in the current process and how can that be fixed to avoid future such instances . When discussed in detail with client , they also realized that a part of mistake was from their side , and when rectified , we delivered the expected quality . This not just restored the faith amongst the client but also boosted morale of the development team , which was singled out and criticized earlier .

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 Customer acquisition lead process .
Application
I used 2 different creatives with different offers . One of them was for Turkcell users and one of them for who are not . thancsegmented “ Non - Turkcell ” audiences using affinity , in - market , detailed demographics , website visitors , custom intent and life events lists for effective targeting . On that point I used different CTAs in order to find out which audience take action on which CTA , using Trueview for Action campaign to drive as much leads as possible . Grouping all of the audiences in same campaigns with different ad groups to optimize budget and frequency more effectively
Insight & Approach
% 60 Lower Cost per Lead achieved than Search Campaigns during the same period . % 31 of the total leads provided from Trueview For Action Campaign for the same period.%35Lower Cost per Lead achieved than Search Brand Campaigns for same product during the same period .
These results changed our way to the youtube . Overall youtube for awereness but ıts shows us youtube is a conversion platform .

Challenges and Selection
As part of technology group on an automotive company we are focused to solve problems both current and future . When we have a problem on a current product , we made a full analysis with experts on different areas , this help us to have a better vision on the problem to solve . These analyses could last weeks or even months and a lot of designs and testing can be done in all the process . Visualization can help us to put ideas on something real , we can draw process , models or make a list with options to solve the problems . Is a good tool to solve problems and came to solutions individually or in a group . We did many exercises with the visualization tool , for this work we will focus on solving a problem with a stack of parts that show damage .
Application
First to all , a team composed of around 10 -15 people from different areas of the company is created . This team will study the problem and will look for possible solutions . One person will present the case of study , this could be by slides with pictures of the parts with damage and listed characteristics of the parts like material , the manufacturing process , etc .
After that , the team will be asked to look at the pictures and write down some hypothesis about possible causes of the damage shown on the parts . Then the ideas were exposed to all the team , the expositors could draw or write on the wall their ideas as they need them .
At the end of the meeting the hypothesis that make more sense will be examine closely and the team could be divided in order to explore these ideas . The team members could run some simulations or tests to probe their theories and they show their results to the whole team on a second meeting .
After conclude the exposition and learn about the possible causes of damage parts , the team will start again looking for possible solutions to the damage parts problem and again all the ideas will be listen for the whole team to reach a conclusion about how to improve processes and avoid damage to parts . The results of the study will be presented to the whole area using pictures , graphics and visual aids .
Insight and approach
Visualization tool is a great tool that help us to solve any problem . It helps a lot when you have a work team to express their ideas about something . I think that visualization tool must be use at the beginning of the projects to give a structure and to make an action plan .
With this exercise using visualization tool it helps us to put our ideas on paper give us a different point of view of the problem by listen the thoughts of our partners . It helps to know the “ why ” of the problem and the “ how ” of the solution .
We must keep practicing our visualization abilities and develop this ability in all out partners because is great start point for several activities .

Challenge
A few months ago while attending a design seminar , a
challenge was given to all the present attendees : “ Try to
define a new service or product about the already
saturated coffee industry , that could generate new value
to the customers or the producers ” . Then the attendees
were organized into diverse multidisciplinary teams and
the discussions began .
Design Tool Selection & Application
After a brief discussion that took place to organize the
creative process , we decided to initiate with a simple
exercise . Each team member wrote down in sticky “ Post
It ” papers , any idea that landed in our heads when we
think about coffee , the post its were sticked to the wall .
After only 10 minutes , we had a wall full of different
thoughts , ideas and keywords related to coffee . With all
that information , we decided to generate a “Mind Map” ,
and the team began to arrange the notes that naturally fit
together in categories . A very nice mind map was
created , with around 4 different categories covering
insights that ranged from coffee crops and production
process to the consumption practices and even cultural
behaviors around coffee preparation .
Insights
The team reviewed , analyzed and discussed the
resulting mind map . After a few minutes , there was
consensus in one insight : “ Little to no recognition is
given to the real hands that gather the coffee from the
plants and that actually enable the rest of the world to
have access to this amazing drink ” , then we immediately
decided to work around this idea , and generate a
proposal that returns something back to these people
that have an important role within the coffee industry .
Approach
A new coffee brand was proposed to be released to the
market ; this coffee brand will work around an
“ ecosystem ” concept , considering the fact that those
hands working at the crops are as important as the
coffee itself . The brand will represent an extension of
those hands , serving coffee straight to your homes .
Pictures of real coffee pickers will be displayed at the
packages with positive messages underneath . Also , all
the organic waste generated during the coffee bean
processing will be handled to a “ coffee pickers
association ” which will be organized to manage it and
process it to generate paper made of organic fibers . This
paper will be used to make the coffee packaging bags .
The association will be paid for this bag supplies and the
profit distributed between all the collaborators ,
generating additional profit and more diverse working
opportunities to these people working in the crops .
Additionally a stamp in the coffee bag will make the
consumers aware of this sustainable and social - friendly
practice , which will result in the final acknowledgment of
the coffee pickers as important contributors of the coffee
supply process .
Final Reflection
The “mind mapping ” tool , quickly enabled the team to
think about new ideas derived from already available
and common knowledge about the coffee industry . What
could be a chaotic brainstorming process where hardly
people converge into the same agreements and
disconnected ideas are thrown , was naturally handled
and organized into categories by the “ mind map ” ; once
there all topics were ready for discussion and analysis in
a better , organized and constructive way . I personally
found this approach extremely enlightening and
constructive , and in order to enhance the experience , a
little bit of research previous the idea generation process
will definitely enable the teams to construct even better
ideas full of innovation .

Challenge & Selection :
The challenge I have in my organization is that we need to better manage our resources time and allocation in the projects that the company has during the year and coming years … The tool I used for this is Visualization or Visual Thinking to better understand the problem between all IT team members in my department . The approach I used was to first identity a way to how we could “ predict ” how much time each resource would be working on specific projects during the next weeks . I started the brainstorming with an empty excel spreadsheet where we “ IT team members ” would have to come up with possible screens / fields that are needed in order to enter the work allocation for each resource during the next weeks . This way we were able to create a “ draft ” template for what a possible solution could look like to resolve our resource allocation in the projects . The whole idea is to avoid that people are over - allocated and if they are working too much , that creates other problems such as stress , quality issues , overtime costs , etc …
Application :
Once we had the initial “ draft ” excel spreadsheet created , we started the discussion about how a possible solution could look like based on this template … We all got together and started to think / imagine how the application should work , the possible sequence , screens , fields , etc … and then we used a tool called “ Bootstrap Studio ” to design the first prototype . This is one of the best ways to better visualize how the solution could be created / developed , the steps , the screens , fields , behavior , user interaction , etc …
We hard - coded all values for each step , screens , fields to better understand / visualize what else could be missing , and finally we had the initial prototype created ( without any database integration ) …
Insight & Approach :
When the initial prototype was complete , I learned that with this exercise with the team members we could better understand the problem and we even came up with an initial prototype of how the possible solution should be … We started to evaluate the options about if we should develop our own software / solution for resource management or if we should go with an existing option available in the market … After some weeks of research , comparisons , discussions , a few trials , project costs vs benefits , etc … We finally decided that an online solution which is pretty similar to the initial prototype would fit the needs of our organization . We decided to go with a saas solution called “ 10000 ft ” for resource management , and it fits pretty well our problem , and we are definitely happy with the decision … 😊

On many occasions when it comes to making a decision and discussing it as a group , we have several drawbacks because we do not understand each other . In the last group work , our mission was to find a solution to how to maintain social distancing in the city despite the end of the quarantine . Selection and Application After thinking of a way in which each one could express their ideas in the best way and be understood by the rest . I proposed an exercise to apply visualization . I gave each one a sheet and several colors and I suggested that for 1h they try to express all their ideas on that sheet with drawings , letters , lines and signs and then present it to the group . Several people made great proposals that we would not have understood if it were n't for their very explicit and explanatory drawings . At the end of the day we were able to deliver a project to the teacher that received congratulations Insight and Approach Thanks to this process , we were able to better understand the ideas of others and at the same time express our own effectively . We learned that many times others do not imagine what we want them to imagine about our ideas and on many occasions , these can be discarded , not for lack of quality but for lack of understanding and errors of expression . For the next few occasions we want to implement this idea , use mobile devices so we can also illustrate with images and gifs English is not my native language , so I apologize for any grammatical errors

### Input: Challenge I am an international business student and most of the time my classes are creative processes in groups in which the professor proposes a problem that we must solve . On many occasions when it comes to making a decision and discussing it as a group , we have several drawbacks because we do not understand each other . In the last group work , our mission was to find a solution to how to maintain social distancing in the city despite the end of the quarantine . Selection and Application After thinking of a way in which each one could express their ideas in the best way and be understood by the rest . I proposed an exercise to apply visualization . I gave each one a sheet and several colors and I suggested that for 1h they try to express all their ideas on that sheet with drawings , letters , lines and signs and then present it to the group . Several people made great proposals that we would not have understood if it were n't for their very explicit and explanatory drawings . At the end of the day we were able to deliver a project to the teacher that received congratulations Insight and Approach Thanks to this process , we were able to better understand the ideas of others and at the same time express our own effectively . We learned that many times others do not imagine what we want them to imagine about our ideas and on many occasions , these can be discarded , not for lack of quality but for lack of understanding and errors of expression . For the next few occasions we want to implement this idea , use mobile devices so we can also illustrate with images and gifs English is not my native language , so I apologize for any grammatical errors

Understanding the role of knowledge visualization in the design thinking process :
Visualization is a core component of the way that we communicate , whether we 're aware of it or not . When we 're dealing with very complex problems , we 're enacting a different kind of problem solving that has to bring in more than just logic . Visualization is really important for the process of Design Thinking because it 's actually a way of unlocking a different part of our brain . It allows us to think in a non - verbal way and access parts of our brain , our creativity . Most design thinkers call visualization as “ the mother of all design tools ” , because they are used in every stage of the design thinking process . Visualization is equal parts listening , thinking and drawing . Listening is the input , thinking is the processing and drawing is the output . These three skills work together equally in understanding complexity , visualizing outcomes to create new possibilities .
The application and benefits of knowledge visualization have been widely discussed in fields such as strategy , knowledge management and psychology However , the paramount role of visual reasoning in many instances of problem solving has not been recognized yet . In order to fully understand how design thinking teams can benefit from using visualization , we need to understand the role of visualization through different theoretical lenses .
When you get to concept development , Visualization becomes incredibly useful . Your brain is creating pictures of something that does n't yet exist . It 's creating pictures of something that will soon be . As we move forward into prototyping , we get much more detailed in the way that we start to visualize . Then we create very complex diagrams or maps of how we think the customer experience is going to work ideally . Pictures and images enable us to not only help people understand what it is we 're trying to do but to help persuade them in the worthiness of that particular idea or the strength of that concept .
the concept of drawing , building prototypes and creating a mind map with research insights is new to the business world . With business professionals often scared of sketching and creating with their hands .
In order to design the solution , first we have to build a good understanding of the problem that we are trying to solve . Interviews , observations , desk research and other research techniques that are applied during this phase generate huge amount of data – data that has to be grouped and analyze . Creating a research wall is a great way to display insights , photos , and artifacts – all the relevant research outputs in one place . This approach helps us build connections between different findings and understand the bigger picture . The visual aspect of the wall triggers idea generation and enables project members to better understand research insights . For this reason design thinkers often use tools such as persona which give a face to the customer / interviewee . Visual tools that can be used for understanding the problem are for e.g. personas , mind map , customer journey maps etc .
It is not necessary to poses good drawing skills – as the popular saying goes “ picture is worth a thousand words ” and even a simple sketch can tell us more than a 10 minutes description of an idea . In a group setting , visualization helps to spark idea generation . Seeing what other people are drawing , adding elements to their drawing or simply discussing the sketches helps to build on top of each other ideas . Brainstorming sessions can be also enhanced by the use of visual props such as nudge cards to stimulate idea creation . Drawing can benefit our understanding of how the idea unfolds through different stages of the service , particularly when generating ideas for a new service ,

Our services consist of website design and all sorts of online marketing campaigns . A while after I started in my position , I noticed significant changes in the quality of work from month to month . The fluctuation has been more dramatic in the case of online campaigns . Imagine a social media campaign with monthly reports full of ups and downs in their various metrics . The outcome also has had a dependency on the person who was taking care of the tasks . The difference in outcomes was some times dramatic , making it sometimes so hard to maintain the business with some clients . My challenge has been to make sure we overcome the fluctuating quality of work as quickly as possible . My goal is to understand what is exactly wrong with the system not working smoothly and to find possible tested solutions to enhance the consistency of the quality of work delivered to the client . Selection My initial hypothesis was that the team members are not having the same understanding of tasks and associated processes . This understanding was constructed out of spot checks and conversations with different team members ( e.g. copywriters ) . To test this hypothesis , I decided to go for the learning launch as the tool . Learning launch is basically a controlled and quick experiment with the idea in the real context to see whether or not the idea has a potential to grow . I decided to go for a real - life and time - boxed experiment to see how the results will change if we enhance our understanding of the definitions of tasks and the steps with need to take to accomplish them . Application Typically , the planning for each project was done once by the previous project manager . Each month the manager would pass the title of tasks with a brief description to team members . The
team members had do finalise the tasks within the given time individually . For example , the copywriters would receive orders for specific tasks of various clients . Being time - boxed the team could not go over the limits . Therefore they used the most accessible knowledge about the task and rush into doing it before the time is up . They would have tried to copy the processes from each other and stick to personal takes of their peers on how to do things . For the first learning launch , I asked all different teams ( e.g. copywriters , social media experts , etc . ) to sit together and plan the month collectively . They needed to read the existing strategies and collectively come up with a list of tasks and steps to accomplish the tasks . We have used Trello for this experiment and used ‘ boards ’ to separate the projects , and ‘ cards ’ to separate the tasks . I made sure everyone is involved with the conversations and all the projects are being discussed . We spent almost 2 days to take care of all projects ’ tasks . The team was told not to be perfectionist . The goal was to get to a minimum viable definition of tasks . Insight During the learning launch , I have interacted with the team and the leadership , facilitated conversations , observed the behaviours and in some cases resolved the conflicts between the team members . It was visible that the team became more aware of the issues with their understanding of the tasks . We also identified tremendous lack of processes . It was interesting to see how much conversation were created . While everyone was pretty confident about what they were doing , it became visible to everyone that there were many undiscussed subjects . At the end of the first experiment , I could hear many positive comments on how positive and eye - opener the practice was . It was also interesting to see how our very silent team members started to express themselves after a while . The transparency created by this practice in the first run was so impressive too . The leadership gave me the opportunity to repeat the learning launch for 2 more months to see how we can learn from it and see if we can restructure our production processes based on the outcomes . Approach Our first learning launch worked very well when it comes to both meeting the goal of the experiment and opening new windows to work more productively to the team . We tested the hypothesis successfully and somehow validated it by finding people on the same page regarding the definition of tasks and the steps the team needed to take to accomplish them . The learning launch will be used for a few iteration untill we get to some stable practices and process . I am considering having other tools ( e.g. mind mapping ) involved soon .

“ Why are people sometimes altruistic ? ”
Stefano Lovato
MDI-191 student
Sathyabama
April , 2020
In many classical economic theories , it is common to determine a human , as a very egoistic creature . Adam Smith ’s books ( but not all of them ) were wrote based on this idea also . However , the conception of Homo economicus was introduced for the first time by John Stuart Mill in the nineteens century and it assumes , that all human beings are consistently rational , narrowly self - interested , and who pursue their subjectively - defined ends optimally1 . However , in our real life we face acts of altruism very often : our parents provide us with all necessary goods , a lot of businessmen give money for charity and even strangers give money to homeless people . So , it is very clear , that people do not necessarily acts in their own interests all the time , they also tend to help others . But what makes them to do this ? Why are people sometimes altruistic ?
Gerashchenko Igor in his article “ The ethical teaching of A. Smith in the context of the modern economy ” writes , that altruism has been existing from the very times of primitive man , as a single egoistic individual was not capable to survive out of his or her community . All resources were so difficult to get , that the efforts of the whole pride were essential in struggle for survival . The following way the system of social values , where helping other people is highly appreciated , started to form . The ideology of individualism instead of collectivism has appeared much time later , when the market economy gave us a possibility to live independently from each other , or to form smaller communities , as nuclear families . But even now , in modern word and in modern families , we can see people continue to act in altruistic way . So , let ’s try to discover , what other motives , besides ancient habit , do they have .
One of the mechanisms , which makes people act in altruistic way , is called reciprocal ( or mutual ) altruism . It means , that individuals tend to help someone , who is likely to give something back . But it does n’t mean , that human beings are egoistic . People subconsciously wait for the same attitude to them after performing altruistic actions ( there the golden rule of morality2 is taken place ) . Alexander Shmakov , the author of the article “ The purpose for just cooperation as a motive of economic behavior ” , provides us with results of the experiment , which shows the relevancy of the statement , which was made above :
Both of two players ( A and B ) were provided with a certain amount of money ( a and b respectively ) . Firstly , player A is asked to give a part of his money to player B , and after that player B is also asked to give money to A. Both players are free to choose any amount of money ( x or y respectively ) they want to give or not to give anything at all .
The rational strategy for both players will be not give money . Because in case , when A decided to share , it would not be profitable for B to share money ( b + xa — yb < b + xa ) . And if A decided not to give money , B would not give money either . However , in reality , when the experiment took place , the results showed that 20 of 30 pairs of students shared their money . The average received sum of money were 32,5 % of the initial one . But in case , when one of the players
1 The definition is taken from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_economicus . 2 Treat people the way you want to be treated .
Player A / Player B To give money Not to give
To give money a + yb — xa , b + xa — yb a — xa , b + xa
Not to give a + yb , b — yb a , b
denied the opportunity of cooperation ones , in most of the cases it put the end for the future transaction , as the condition of relicense was lost .
One more thing , which can help us to understand the phenomenon of altruism , is economic games . There exist a lot of such games , but the most famous are “ Dictator ” , “ Ultimatum ” and “ The division of the public good ” . In “ Dictator ” game one the players receives a sum of money , part of which he / she can give to another player . The rational behavior , which is expected from the first person , is not to give anything , as only in this case he / she will get the maximum possible profit . Strangely , but in 616 experiments3 , which were carried out , an average given sum was about 28,35 % of the initial sum and only about 1/3 of all participants gave nothing . The motive for such altruistic action is probably a sense of justice , as the first person did nothing in order to get money , so he / she thinks , that it would be fair to share them .
Another explanation of altruism is people ’s consciousness about their reputation . As I mentioned above , altruism is socially approved behavior , so individuals , who are known for helping people around , may be in more respect , than others . So , the motives for the altruistic actions can be not only empathy , but also concern for the opinion of others . Charity donations are a good example of an altruistic action , which has a considerable impact in person ’s reputation . In most of the charity cases only small donations are made anonymously , but names of people , who donate huge amounts of money , are usually well - known and numerous times mentioned in newspapers , magazines and TV programs . So , philanthropists may expect more support from the society , if they need , as they are known as a good person .
Developing the idea about philanthropy , we face another reason for being altruistic . This motive is about being conscious of the future of the civilization , also known as communal interest , which differ people from animals . People want to live in comfortable conditions , where hospitals , education and other social institutions work well enough . So , they are ready to contribute to the common good in order to provide their families and themselves with better life . That is why the idea of social altruism appeared . Scientists faced the fact , that they are unable to explain why people continue help others even , when they do not have any filiation at all . This type of behavior started to take place , when human ’s intentions goes beyond family and reputational altruism . Ernst Fehr and Urs Fischbacher in their article “ Nature of human altruism ” call this phenomenon a strong reciprocity , which works under the possibility of altruistic remuneration or altruistic punishment ( stigmatization ) .
Taking all things into consideration , we can conclude , that altruism has a significant economic effect not only on one particular person or a small social group , but on the whole society . And strange , as it may seem , altruistic behavior can be profitable for the altruist as well as for someone , who receives help . Moreover , many social organizations , even economic ones , would not work at all , if people behaved themselves only in egoistic way , as due to desire to get the maximum possible profit people may break adopted regulations , what may ruin the whole system .

denied the opportunity of cooperation ones , in most of the cases it put the end for the future transaction , as the condition of relicense was lost .
One more thing , which can help us to understand the phenomenon of altruism , is economic games . There exist a lot of such games , but the most famous are “ Dictator ” , “ Ultimatum ” and “ The division of the public good ” . In “ Dictator ” game one the players receives a sum of money , part of which he / she can give to another player . The rational behavior , which is expected from the first person , is not to give anything , as only in this case he / she will get the maximum possible profit . Strangely , but in 616 experiments3 , which were carried out , an average given sum was about 28,35 % of the initial sum and only about 1/3 of all participants gave nothing . The motive for such altruistic action is probably a sense of justice , as the first person did nothing in order to get money , so he / she thinks , that it would be fair to share them .
Another explanation of altruism is people ’s consciousness about their reputation . As I mentioned above , altruism is socially approved behavior , so individuals , who are known for helping people around , may be in more respect , than others . So , the motives for the altruistic actions can be not only empathy , but also concern for the opinion of others . Charity donations are a good example of an altruistic action , which has a considerable impact in person ’s reputation . In most of the charity cases only small donations are made anonymously , but names of people , who donate huge amounts of money , are usually well - known and numerous times mentioned in newspapers , magazines and TV programs . So , philanthropists may expect more support from the society , if they need , as they are known as a good person .
Developing the idea about philanthropy , we face another reason for being altruistic . This motive is about being conscious of the future of the civilization , also known as communal interest , which differ people from animals . People want to live in comfortable conditions , where hospitals , education and other social institutions work well enough . So , they are ready to contribute to the common good in order to provide their families and themselves with better life . That is why the idea of social altruism appeared . Scientists faced the fact , that they are unable to explain why people continue help others even , when they do not have any filiation at all . This type of behavior started to take place , when human ’s intentions goes beyond family and reputational altruism . Ernst Fehr and Urs Fischbacher in their article “ Nature of human altruism ” call this phenomenon a strong reciprocity , which works under the possibility of altruistic remuneration or altruistic punishment ( stigmatization ) .
Taking all things into consideration , we can conclude , that altruism has a significant economic effect not only on one particular person or a small social group , but on the whole society . And strange , as it may seem , altruistic behavior can be profitable for the altruist as well as for someone , who receives help . Moreover , many social organizations , even economic ones , would not work at all , if people behaved themselves only in egoistic way , as due to desire to get the maximum possible profit people may break adopted regulations , what may ruin the whole system .

I have stated a new startup and it is for helping students in their registration in universities and anything else related to the learning process . One of my responsibilities is to communicate with the workers in the company and transfer the company ’s strategic plan to them . This is difficult for some reasons . The workers are not in the same place as every one of them is working from another city . In every region there are different type of customers .
Selection
I selected storytelling strategy because I found it the best in this case . I started focusing on the most important elements of visual storytelling are : design , personalization , usefulness , personality , storytelling , share- worthiness , and real - time . The company planning methodology is to provide more value for its customers .
Application
The primary storytelling videos were sending to the workers mail , speeches by me and some other workers , explaining the strategic plan itself . In the mails we inserted text explaining how the strategic plan would enable our company to serve our customers better . We almost always included specific examples of objectives to make the story more concrete and relatable . After that we made a video series and in each one we put a massage that we want to deliver like “ what are we now , and what we want to be . ” Storytelling , and another videos .
Insight & Approach
In design thinking the application of Storytelling techniques is very useful and they help to gain quick learnings . I learned to really think through the best way to tell a story , in order to be both clear and compelling . Storytelling makes abstract ideas more tangible and
enables a shared understanding of new ideas . I would tell a story with a step - by - step plot , using more elevated language that can inspire . I discovered that I have an aptitude for developing simple yet effective images ( graphics , pictures , etc . ) , and that these images complement a good story very well . We could gather common insights and clarity about the business model . The benefit was even higher than clarity : we developed more details as we applied the Storytelling technique so we could enhance new ideas by established them in the video approach . We had an effective and solution for the communication . The chosen approach to Storytelling a digital business model was easy to use and we can recommend very much .

Challenge
I am an undergraduate student pursuing a degree in Business Administration . My course comes with a lot of assignments for internal assessment and they are a crucial aspect of our overall grade . My class was given a group assignment of coming up with a business idea and presenting a business plan for the same in front of a panel . We were divided into groups of six . I was nominated to be the team leader of my group .
Brainstorming business ideas together was an enjoyable experience . However , the cohesiveness of the group started to fade as we approached the discussions on the key factors of the business such as supply chain , marketing techniques and funds . Members of my group had differing opinions on building the various aspects of the business plan . It reached a point where our group discussions were more of arguments and contradictions than effective discussions and planning . The entire discussion became unorganized . With a deadline approaching , we were left with an unorganized , incomplete business plan that was not worthy to be presented in front of a panel . As the team leader , it was my responsibility to find a solution to this problem and restore the group cohesiveness .
Selection
When the traditional method of pooling in ideas from all the members and choosing the most viable option through discussions failed , I decided to implement some design thinking tools . The concept of mind mapping stood out to me the most to solve the problem I had at hand . I realized that mind mapping would help bring in a visual aspect to presenting ideas that would enable us , as a team , to present our ideas in a more organized manner with an increased clarity . Additionally , this radical approach would also help the team come up with new and innovative ideas and solutions .
Application
We started off by keeping the central idea of the business at the focus point . After doing so , we started adding the relevant aspects of the business that we needed to address in the business plan , around the central idea . We approached each aspect of the business plan systematically , pooled in everyone ’s ideas , weighed the pros and cons of it in the present business environment , and we finally chose the most viable option in complete agreement . With mind mapping , we analyzed our strategy at each stage making the business plan efficient and highly error free . It also gave us a broader understanding of the various business processes , thanks to the spot on visuals and organization that comes with implementing mind mapping , and enabled us to be prepared for any sort of cross questioning by the judging panel at the time of the presentation of the business plan .
Insight
Initially , our business plan was clustered , incomplete and incompetent . However , after implementing mind mapping into our planning processes , we were able to obtain clarity on the task at hand , thanks to the visual benefits of mind mapping . Mind mapping also guided us in proceeding with a step by step approach , keeping the central idea at the focus point and branching out the various aspects of it systematically . The overall organization and effectiveness of mind mapping also boosted the team ’s motivation to build the business plan and come up with smart ideas and solutions .
Approach
This experience has taught me the importance of having an organized and systematic approach when dealing with a group lest the team ’s performance will not be up to the mark . In my future team leader / managerial roles , I will definitely implement the mind mapping technique to solve problems . Additionally , I will incorporate visualization wherever possible to establish a common ground of understanding .

Challenge & Selection
I use storytelling to convince people for changing their ideas . Storytelling is an exceptional way in psychology management . Economy is the study of human behavior just as psychology and Bitcoin is the new era of Economy . When I started business life in sales department , my colleagues were responsible for Global and local sales and income of my colleagues was highly above from standard . Therefore , these people were not interested in investing money for extremely risky areas . My colleagues were traditionally investing in stock exchange , gold and foreign currency . When I worked with them , I share stories about my investments and how ı earn money from Bitcoin . They also shared me their stories about their investment and our relationship improved automatically . Trust that is the main point of the investing money . They feedback me on my actions that I have done on job . People were really impact others thinking methodology with storytelling . After they gave me feedbacks , I realized my failures about investing .
Application
Using storytelling made me taking positive attention in the office . I was showing how the trade was done and how I earned form BTC . The explanation of these transactions helps me to persuade them . The motivation of becoming rich person was clearly activated inside them . My manager said that you were a high potential to be a salesperson . I sold my idea to everyone in the office , and all they wanted to buy BTC . In addition to that , these people also wanted to hear something like advice . I told a story about when I increased my money for 5 times with Etherium based coins . Managers of other departments wanted to transfer me on their own department . I showed them one junior makes an influence on these people ’s life . Then , these colleagues offered me to give money so that I also trade for them . This was highly hard for me to take others responsibilities and I rejected this offer . However , I am happy because of trusting me .
Insight & Approach
The main point of view was trust and convincing people with your ideas . I realized that storytelling worked really well . The listeners found something about themselves in these stories . Then , the link was connected between us . Sales people senior , manager or sale force person who did back office works trusted me with stories . When they offered me investing , these people saw me the master of investment . The math and data driven formulas and graphs were support my ideas about BTC . These people were eager to know that we were focusing on same thing that was earning . I showed them what if you lose low amount of money rather than earning a lot . It depends on the situation , but people were waiting silver spoon . That is why analyzing , researching and thinking are more important than trusting someone or their ideas .

It depends on the situation , but people were waiting silver spoon . That is why analyzing , researching and thinking are more important than trusting someone or their ideas .

Challenge
I work in the education sector in my country and recently we had been experiencing challenges in the online learning programs . This challenges include access to internet by students who come from a less than average family , for example some parents do not have smart phones to access online platforms , others have the smart phones but can not afford to purchase bundles every day to facilitate the students learning , some have more than one child hence online learning becomes difficult when the students are many and the phone is only one in the family . Another challenge was lack of textbooks . This is because textbooks are very expensive to purchase especially if you have more than one child and none of them is in the same grade . There also lacked a connection between teachers and their students making it difficult for the teachers to follow up on the progress of their students .
Selection
I selected a learning launch which is a carefully designed experiment or prototype designed to test the key underlying value - generating assumptions of a potential new - growth initiative . It is a learning experiment conducted quickly and inexpensively to gather market - driven data to determine whether a growth idea has enough merit to warrant detailed investigation with the commitment of further time , people and resources . I came up with a solution of an application and I needed a quick and cheap way of testing it against my assumptions that it would work so as to qualify or disqualify my assumptions .
Application
I first came up with the idea of an application that would be accessible to all via USSD , SMS , smartphones , tablets or laptops . I then incorporated online textbooks for all grades , revision materials , story books and engaging learning games that would make learning more fun . I then sold my idea to stakeholders like Safaricom Limited who gave me access to the USSD and SMS services . After coming up with the education application , I chose twenty people across all the standards of life , that is the below average , average , and the above average . This in my opinion
would give me good quality feedback . It is also important to note that among them were parents , students and teachers and they were all from the same school . I then gave them access to the application via any means that was suitable for them , i.e. SMS , USSD code , website and many others . The school was supposed to pay a fee of Kshs . 3,000 only to facilitate the learning of each student or if the student ’s school was not enrolled into the program the student would enroll as an individual at the same fee and would be able to learn just like the others . This took place over a period of two weeks to allow enough time for the students and teachers to interact .
Insight
From this learning launch we discovered that even the students who came from below average families were able to log into the application and learn effectively because the cost of SMS is much cheaper than internet bundles . Teachers were also able to get good and effective feedback about the students ’ progress . Most of the students and teachers were able to enroll into the program because it was cheaper than the overall school fees that is paid on a normal term . It was also noted that learning had been made more effective by the availability of online books at a small fee that was cheaper than buying them at the book store . This challenged me to come up with a more improved way of studying that would facilitate learning in even bigger platforms and how I would use design thinking to innovate a feature or platform that would aid in learning at all levels .
Approach
From the above described procedure , learning launch would still be the best tool for further assessment and modification of the application .

The challenge I was faced with is that I needed to go back to college to finish my degree . I had supported my husband the past 4 years so he could finish his schooling and now it was my turn to get mine done . I had started college right after high school but dropped out my junior year to go back to work full time after having my daughter . It had been 12 years since that time and I was unsure how I could make this work . How could I afford to go back to school as well as manage responsibilities of work , home , family , and now school ? Financial and time constraints kept me from continuing and completing school , but this time I needed to defeat these excuses and my internal fears . If I went back to school , I could get that diploma which would give me a sense of accomplishment from achieving a goal as well as be a key to open doors of opportunities .
Selection :
The design tool I decided to use to assist me with the challenge was Mind Mapping . The Mind Mapping tool looks for patterns and insights in the large quantity of data that has been collected during the exploration of “ what is ” . I needed to look at the possibilities and see what parts of my daily life would be affected if I decided to go back to school . There were so many questions that I needed to answer before I could formally decide to take on this endeavor . Would I still work full - time ? How will I pay for school ? What will I study ? When will I have time to study ? How will home responsibilities like meal preparation and cleaning be handled ? I wanted to have a plan in place to ease my anxiety so that this experience would have minimal impact on other areas of my life , yet successfully graduate .
Application :
To figure out how to accomplish the goal of going back to school , to start to see what the “ what if ” looked like , I needed to tackle the 3 main obstacles which were : money to pay for school , time management and selecting a degree . I used the Mind Mapping tool to start the process to figure how to overcome this challenge . I wrote down all the questions I had , then the steps I needed to take , and added the emotions I felt . As I asked , “ what is ” and “ what if ” questions , I came up with solutions to the barriers . Organized “ to do ” lists and schedules , as well as support of others in the process was very important to fulfilling the dream of finishing school .
The money blocks were taken down easily . I was currently working full time and needed to know if I should go down to part time or just take classes part time . I reviewed my income and made a list of the monthly bills that I was responsible for . Even though I recently got a raise , it would not be enough to cover the costs if I worked part time . Also , there were not enough funds available to pay for school right away , so I decided to apply for financial aid and take out student loans and felt comfortable taking on a student loan bill once I graduated . I decided to work full - time and take 2 classes at a time . It seemed that I did n’t really have the funds to go back to school but felt that if I could make the time to do it , I could make it work .
Time- management was a huge obstacle in my way of achieving my degree . Once I knew I would be working full - time and school was part time , I needed to figure out how I could successfully carry out all
the other responsibilities in my life on top of time taking classes and homework . To optimize my time , I had to engage help . I needed to collaborate with my husband and then with my daughter . I used co- creation by inviting these “ key stakes holders ” , my family who would be affected the most by my choice , to assist in the process of managing the day to day activities while I am in school .
To help with the household work , so I would n’t have the burden of doing all or most of it , we created a family chore list . The list included all the major tasks that needed to be done daily or weekly . We divided them up by how much time the work would take or how hard the chore was and created balanced groups of chores . We had three groups of chores that would rotate monthly between the three of us . The creation of the chore list would assist me by freeing up time because others were participating in these daily responsibilities .
I needed to get organized with the meal preparation and grocery shopping . These two events can be very time consuming in themselves , so I needed to be proactive . Every week , I would plan what meals would be prepared . With this list , I created a grocery list , so I knew all the ingredients for the recipes and meals that needed to be cooked for the week . To save time , I shopped for the groceries once a week whenever possible to avoid taking multiple trips . Additionally , if there was time on the weekend , I would cook multiple dinners to have as leftovers throughout the week or while I attended classes . Being proactive in creating the list of meals and groceries , would save precious time throughout the week .
Clear and consistent communication was extremely important . Keeping track of schedules- including all appointments , due dates , concerts , activities , work and school schedules , etc . - needed to be something the family and I all needed to be engaged in . To help resolve this , we hung a large monthly calendar in the hallway where we could write in all that was happening , so we could all see this at any time . For myself , so I would not forget anything , I decided to create lists in a notebook . I had a daily , weekly , monthly to do and priority lists . I had my school assignment lists and when I would take the time to go to the library to read , research or study . I had my list of things to do like chores that I was assigned , meal preparation , errands to run for myself or family members , etc . Maintaining a family calendar and making action lists would help me stay in communication and be organized with all the aspects of managing daily life .
The major selection process went in this direction . I already had the school selected that I wanted to attend . I then needed to take the actions needed to get back in school . I first needed to apply and then get registered . In this process I needed to request my transcript from my previous college in NY , and then meet with an advisor . With the help of an advisor , we reviewed the transcript of classes already take . We determined which credits could transferred from several years ago , then create a schedule and outline the plan of classes that I was required to take along with the classes I needed to fulfill the chosen area of study . In our discussion , Psychology was my previous major , but then changed to be my minor . In this helpful meeting , I instead chose classes that I was interested in and this led me to select the Liberal Arts degree . In the end there was a list of classes to take and the schedule of when these classes were available to be taken . If I followed this outline , I could finish my college education in 2 years , taking 2 classes at a time , including taking summer classes .
Insight :
If I decide to go back to school to finish my degree , it needed to be worth the work and hardship I may go through . I needed to select a major that would be meaningful to me and possibly assist me in my current or future career path . The knowledge I gain from school should be useful in my life and lead to understanding new ideas and concepts as well as develop new skills . Additionally I needed reassurance that it would have minimal negative impact on my family . We needed to be organized , communicate , and manage time wisely in order to have peace .
If we did not use the calendar , follow the chore list , or not plan out the groceries for the week this could create frustration that could lead to arguments . This burden and stress could keep me from being focused or take time away from studying or getting a paper written . It was important for me to stay organized with a daily/ weekly/ monthly to do list so I would not forget to get something done . In the end I graduated Summa Cum Laude because I maintained a high - grade point average .
The Mind Mapping Tool helped me to ask questions of “ what is ” and “ what if ” so I could evaluate the challenge and then break it down into smaller pieces so that I could review what needed to be done to overcome the challenges that stopped me from going back to school . It also allowed me to be creative and come up with small solutions to aid me in the journey such as creating lists and maintaining a schedule to stay organized and have open communication .
Approach :
In the Design Thinking module , it advised that “ Through Mind Mapping , we extract meaning from data in a way that lets patterns and insights emerge . ” I believe Mind Mapping was effective because it helped me identify the obstacles that I could face if I choose to go back to school . I realized that those challenges of Time - management , selecting a major , and money issues were resolved when using this tool . It helped me to understand that if I have specific approaches such as asking questions , making lists , keeping a schedule , being organized , communication , and engage the support of my family , I could accomplish this goal . I was so close to finishing college many years ago and I allowed just a couple of challenges to keep me from the achievement of my goal and Mind Mapping helped me work through these challenges . I do n’t believe there could be another tool that would assist me in the way Mind Mapping would . Visualization might be the closest tool that could be used , however my issue was not that complex . In Visualization more symbols , pictures and images are used to understand thoughts and ideas . My issue of going back to school was simple and straight forward , I just needed to figure out what it would look like if I did it . The Mind Mapping Tool helped me to understand what I needed to do to finish my college degree that could strengthen my career path , increase my knowledge and open new opportunities .

the other responsibilities in my life on top of time taking classes and homework . To optimize my time , I had to engage help . I needed to collaborate with my husband and then with my daughter . I used co- creation by inviting these “ key stakes holders ” , my family who would be affected the most by my choice , to assist in the process of managing the day to day activities while I am in school .
To help with the household work , so I would n’t have the burden of doing all or most of it , we created a family chore list . The list included all the major tasks that needed to be done daily or weekly . We divided them up by how much time the work would take or how hard the chore was and created balanced groups of chores . We had three groups of chores that would rotate monthly between the three of us . The creation of the chore list would assist me by freeing up time because others were participating in these daily responsibilities .
I needed to get organized with the meal preparation and grocery shopping . These two events can be very time consuming in themselves , so I needed to be proactive . Every week , I would plan what meals would be prepared . With this list , I created a grocery list , so I knew all the ingredients for the recipes and meals that needed to be cooked for the week . To save time , I shopped for the groceries once a week whenever possible to avoid taking multiple trips . Additionally , if there was time on the weekend , I would cook multiple dinners to have as leftovers throughout the week or while I attended classes . Being proactive in creating the list of meals and groceries , would save precious time throughout the week .
Clear and consistent communication was extremely important . Keeping track of schedules- including all appointments , due dates , concerts , activities , work and school schedules , etc . - needed to be something the family and I all needed to be engaged in . To help resolve this , we hung a large monthly calendar in the hallway where we could write in all that was happening , so we could all see this at any time . For myself , so I would not forget anything , I decided to create lists in a notebook . I had a daily , weekly , monthly to do and priority lists . I had my school assignment lists and when I would take the time to go to the library to read , research or study . I had my list of things to do like chores that I was assigned , meal preparation , errands to run for myself or family members , etc . Maintaining a family calendar and making action lists would help me stay in communication and be organized with all the aspects of managing daily life .
The major selection process went in this direction . I already had the school selected that I wanted to attend . I then needed to take the actions needed to get back in school . I first needed to apply and then get registered . In this process I needed to request my transcript from my previous college in NY , and then meet with an advisor . With the help of an advisor , we reviewed the transcript of classes already take . We determined which credits could transferred from several years ago , then create a schedule and outline the plan of classes that I was required to take along with the classes I needed to fulfill the chosen area of study . In our discussion , Psychology was my previous major , but then changed to be my minor . In this helpful meeting , I instead chose classes that I was interested in and this led me to select the Liberal Arts degree . In the end there was a list of classes to take and the schedule of when these classes were available to be taken . If I followed this outline , I could finish my college education in 2 years , taking 2 classes at a time , including taking summer classes .
Insight :
If I decide to go back to school to finish my degree , it needed to be worth the work and hardship I may go through . I needed to select a major that would be meaningful to me and possibly assist me in my current or future career path . The knowledge I gain from school should be useful in my life and lead to understanding new ideas and concepts as well as develop new skills . Additionally I needed reassurance that it would have minimal negative impact on my family . We needed to be organized , communicate , and manage time wisely in order to have peace .
If we did not use the calendar , follow the chore list , or not plan out the groceries for the week this could create frustration that could lead to arguments . This burden and stress could keep me from being focused or take time away from studying or getting a paper written . It was important for me to stay organized with a daily/ weekly/ monthly to do list so I would not forget to get something done . In the end I graduated Summa Cum Laude because I maintained a high - grade point average .
The Mind Mapping Tool helped me to ask questions of “ what is ” and “ what if ” so I could evaluate the challenge and then break it down into smaller pieces so that I could review what needed to be done to overcome the challenges that stopped me from going back to school . It also allowed me to be creative and come up with small solutions to aid me in the journey such as creating lists and maintaining a schedule to stay organized and have open communication .
Approach :
In the Design Thinking module , it advised that “ Through Mind Mapping , we extract meaning from data in a way that lets patterns and insights emerge . ” I believe Mind Mapping was effective because it helped me identify the obstacles that I could face if I choose to go back to school . I realized that those challenges of Time - management , selecting a major , and money issues were resolved when using this tool . It helped me to understand that if I have specific approaches such as asking questions , making lists , keeping a schedule , being organized , communication , and engage the support of my family , I could accomplish this goal . I was so close to finishing college many years ago and I allowed just a couple of challenges to keep me from the achievement of my goal and Mind Mapping helped me work through these challenges . I do n’t believe there could be another tool that would assist me in the way Mind Mapping would . Visualization might be the closest tool that could be used , however my issue was not that complex . In Visualization more symbols , pictures and images are used to understand thoughts and ideas . My issue of going back to school was simple and straight forward , I just needed to figure out what it would look like if I did it . The Mind Mapping Tool helped me to understand what I needed to do to finish my college degree that could strengthen my career path , increase my knowledge and open new opportunities .

Challenge
I am part of an environmental consultancy junior company ( a company formed only by students ) , currently I am at the operations and commercial group . Recently we faced a problem with a client , he proposed a job beyond our area of study , so we had to search on the internet all the information available to come up with a solution . It was exhausting because , as said in this course , internet is full of information and it is hard to filter it .
Selection
With all the data collected we needed a tool to filter it . The more adequate tool is mind mapping to find patterns and look for insights in the middle of all this data .
Application
Me and my team contact one of our mentor professors and he indicated a PhD professor in the area of the client´s problem . We arranged a meeting to discuss what we had to learn and what tools were necessary to came up with a solution in this yet “ unknown field ” . After the meeting we were able to filter the most import data taking into consideration what the labor market was expecting . Each person in the team shared ideas to present for our client , here we used “ post - it ” method . After sharing ideas , we categorized and ranked them .
Insight
Applying a design thinking method ( talk to people and understand deeply the problem ) with mind mapping ( brainstorm ideas and categorize them ) gave us a north to not get anxious about the size of data and present an adequate solution to a problem beyond our knowledges . The experience was also enriching in the learning process .
Approach
Visualization of the ideas proved to be highly effective , next time I would start using this tool since the first meeting with the client , to save hours of meetings trying to explain the problem to others .

Discovery a common ground with a diverse set of participants with changing technical and business expertise became easier once multitude of outlooks were mapped into themed values / qualities / skill sets of a potential candidate . Changing from a routine approach to brainstorming with a new format and different physical environment stimulated the whole group to participate more openly that led to seamless collaboration over a difficult problem .
Alternatively , we could have leveraged the visualization tool to showcase existing talent acquisition processes and an ideal employee map to encourage a directed conversation .

Challenge
I 'm a senior member of an engineering team that manages the development of oil reservoirs . Based on upper management direction , we commenced a technical study aiming to firm development plans for an undeveloped oil reservoir . Members of the team collaborated and exerted tremendous efforts to develop an optimized development plan . However , while presenting the plan to upper management using the conventional presentation methods , the plan was viewed as too complex with many details drawing a lot of questions . Moreover , due to the nature of oil & gas industry , development plans take several years to be executed and they are rarely carried out as forecasted . Numerous variables force changes such as oil & gas prices volatility , global conflicts and economic downturns . I was tasked to lead the team to develop an innovative method to present development plans to upper management . Moreover , the demonstration manner should automatically showcase the latest plans in place and thus eliminates the need for manual updates .
Selection
As mentioned , the team had few presentations delivered and the performance was deemed unsatisfactory . Thus , we implemented mind mapping tool to resolve this challenge . The tool is suitable to come up with an innovative illustration of the development . The team focused on trying to view the development from management prospective and
Application
Capitalizing on virtual meetings , the team held interactive sessions focused on the mission in hand . As engineers are details - oriented , the first session focused on viewing the development plan from management prospective . The majority of the session was spent by breaking down components of the plan and placing the parts on a selection board . Next , the pieces of information in hand were rated individually according to the significance and relevance . After that , the scores were compiled and the information were clustered accordingly . Subsequently , several elements were viewed as insignificant to management and thus omitted from the selection board . After completing the clustering exercise , the team spent the rest of the session discussing several new ideas on how to demonstrate the plans in a logical and easy to follow way . Immersive visualization techniques were deemed necessary to clearly illustrate the plans and avoid any confusion . Meanwhile , automating the data feed to the platform was also crucial to ensure sustainability and seamless updates .
Insight
After applying the mind mapping tool , the team acquired a much needed clarity on the way forward . The scope of the illustration was properly defined and thus enabled members to focus on execution . Arguments on what to show and what not to show were replaced by how to and members collaborated effectively to develop the innovative platform .
Approach
The course was much needed to tackle problems such as the described above . As engineers , we are familiar with technical problems where solutions are developed by equations and calculations . Meanwhile , design thinking is a powerful tool to tackle such challenges and enable myself and team members to systematically overcome .

I am a student and currently I am pursuing BBA course and it is a tough challenge for me to be an expert in English Grammar and Vocabulary learning as both are considered the groundwork for effective English learning . Topics in English Grammar such as sentence structure , tenses , parts of speech etc . are too vast . Similar is the case with learning vocabulary as vocabulary involves building up of new words every day . Simply reading a grammar book or newspaper will not have a clear understanding in mind and it will lead to confusion and end up fetching nothing .
Selection
After going through various design thinking tools , I found that the Mind Mapping tool is the most powerful and effective tool through which I will be able to overcome this problem which I am facing . Mind Mapping tool involves looking into insights and then come up with a more creative solution .
Application
To learn English Grammar , I choose the topic Parts of Speech and with the help of this tool it was easier for me to sort out the rules very easily by making use of various shapes and colours which looked more attractive and easier to grasp than a normal grammar book . I could keep the core topic Parts of Speech in the centre and I made different branches arising out of it such as nouns , verbs , pronouns etc . and further I classified each branch into different categories . It was very easy for me to understand and the advantage of it being retained for long in the memory . Similarly , in learning vocabulary this tool again proved of great importance as I was able to create a map of words and grouped them into different themes and added new words to the corresponding groups . With the main word in the centre it also became easier for me to jot down their synonyms and antonyms .
Insight and Approach
This tool has made me think in a better way and now I am able to address my problems in a more creative way and overall my learning efficiency has also improved . Mind mapping is more intuitive , creative , visual and it is more engaging .

Challenge & Selection
I am a graphic and product designer . I work at a fintech startup . As a UX designer , I worked on a
sophisticated application in stock investing . At the first stage of the project , we spoke with
stakeholders , target users , developers and , we had a lot of meetings that had to explain our
project to them . The explanation of a complicated application in verbal communication is not
easy . Almost every time that we represented our project , there was a lot of question from the
audience . So , I decided to create an overview of the application I am designing , showing how all
its parts work together . Because design is visualization of a solution , I decided to use mind
mapping for this challenge .

First of all , I use a big board to apply all parts of the application . I put the application in the center
of the board and connect different parts of that with a line . For the primary stage of the project ,
we focused on the most important parts of it , and after we got feedback from the target users ,
we decided to add new features to our mind map . After I finished the poster , I took a picture of
that , and I put it on our pitch - deck .
Insight
After applying the mind mapping tool to our project , we got great feedback . We could very
easily communicate with our team , developers , key stakeholders , and especially the investors .
This caused me to use it in the next stage of the project , and I added new features to the mind
map . This result made me use other techniques of design thinking on my projects .
I learned that I should give it a try the next time in one of these situations :
1 - Discover new features of the application I am working on . In this case , I can just try drawing
new connections between entities or adding more entities to the equation .
2- I want to find edge cases and to detect critical global areas .
Approach
Based on the feedback we got from all of the stakeholders , I will use this tool in my other
projects and another stage of this project . Because we could communicate easier than in past
time and spend less time to explain our project after using this tool . I think I use this tool in
some other part of the next project because this tool can use in many parts of the UX projects .

### Input: Reflection - Mind Mapping
Challenge & Selection
I am a graphic and product designer . I work at a fintech startup . As a UX designer , I worked on a
sophisticated application in stock investing . At the first stage of the project , we spoke with
stakeholders , target users , developers and , we had a lot of meetings that had to explain our
project to them . The explanation of a complicated application in verbal communication is not
easy . Almost every time that we represented our project , there was a lot of question from the
audience . So , I decided to create an overview of the application I am designing , showing how all
its parts work together . Because design is visualization of a solution , I decided to use mind
mapping for this challenge .

Challenge and Selection
The first tool I used was Visualization , which I used to reach a common ground of understanding of a problem between a group of stakeholders / people before attempting or clearing their problems by giving them the solution for it . I have used this approach for this one tutoring organization , who wanted to mix technology applications with studies , like- smart classes or e - classes , to make toddlers / kids and parents understand the basics or educational concepts with ease .
Shapes and figurines make it easier for anyone to understand a problem as you have to look at graphics which can be easily interpreted by human brain and can also be remembered for a long time as compared plain old boring texts . I have used the technique of using shapes and figures to identify the problem domain and with help of adults / parents and various stakeholders , tried to solve the pain points and opportunities where improvements can be done and solution can be provided .
Application
I started the process by dividing the audience into two groups A and B. Both the groups were divided into sub - groups of three , group A was the group which was accompanied by shapes and figurines for their questions and solution to them , and group B was the group with normal text question and answer to them . The problems I chose were from the given study material or books which has created a lot of fuss amongst the audience . I created like a chain / set of questions which was to be answered by the given shapes of figurines to them ( for group A ) and with normal text answer ( for group B ) , if the answer was correct it will move to next question , if it ’s wrong , best suitable option were provided and was asked to choose the best option which will match the answer .
By end of this activity , I handed out feedback forms to the audience and asked them to fill it on the basis of the session conducted .
Insight and Approach
The results were in , and what I ’ve learned that the Group A audience was able to answer much more clearly , they were able understand and remember the answer at the end of the session , they were in a much better mood and were much more engaging . On the other hand , Group B was a little stumbled upon the answer , they forgot most of the answers and were also not able to understand them properly due to which they were in a bitter mood .
These results were shocking as we can see how much shapes and figurines can make a difference as compared to same plain old boring text not only physically but mentally and socially also .
Since this was a small scale session not much of a research could be done upon but I have learned using visualization method , this is a tool which can be used in many different ways and in various fields also . By using this tool , people not only understand thing better but they also remember it for quite a sometime and are able to grasp and absorb it better , plus you get much engaging and happy audience .

As part of my role I am tasked with looking after a portfolio of groups of customers . This means I need to make sure that I retain their spend with our organization and intervene if it declines . The challenge that I am faced with is that one of my largest groups of customers ( 3000 ) have been declining their spend with my organization over the past 2 years . I need to come up with an initiative that I can roll out at scale to increase their spend . The scope of the initiative is not limited but I need to return a positive ROI on any budget applied to the initiative .
Selection : I chose the Learning Launch tool with was described in depth in week 4 of the Design Thinking for innovation course from the University of Virginia . A Learning Launch allows you to test a hypothesis or idea with customers in a live environment at a small scale . This means that if you fail to reach the goal that you are intending , you will not have wasted a lot of time and money in the process . The Design Thinking for Innovation course highlighted how IBM carried this approach out successfully when thinking about their trade show presence .
I chose a learning launch because I need to increase customer spend in a certain part of my customer base and I need the role out at scale to be successful and gain positive ROI . However , I have some ideas which are based of past customer research , but I am not sure which idea is the right one to role out at scale . A learning launch allows me to test ideas at a smaller scale to find out what works so that I can then scale it and get the results .
Application : I used the learning launch tool to test the idea of providing a prize for customers increasing spend with my company . The top 5 customers to increase their spend with us in a month , won a trip overseas . This was calculated as a percentage of the same month last year so that the largest customers did n’t automatically win .
The goals of the Learning Launch were : to see if a prize can be used to incentivize increased customer activity , and to see at least 30 % of customers communicated to increasing their activity over the same month last year .
From a customer base of 3000 customers , I chose 100 to use as my Learning Launch test group . I used our call center call the customers and introduce the competition . I also followed up with an email describing the prize and competition details , this gave more validity to the phone call that the customers received .
The outcome of the Learning launch was that only 10 % of customers increased their activity which does not cover the investment that I made to provide the prize . This meant that I learnt that a prize is not the way to achieve the business outcome that I was looking for . More ideas need to be tested before I roll out an incentive at scale .
Insight : The insight I gained from using the tool was that I may have been be more successful with the concepts that I was testing if they were based on suggestions from customers , rather than ideas generated from business research . I think that if I get in front of customers and find out what
they are trying to overcome then an incentive to solve those issues might have more cut through .
More broadly , the outcome of using a Learning launch allowed me to “ fail small ” and learn from the approach I took . This has given me a very positive outcome when it comes to applying Design Thinking and I will not hesitate to use design thinking in future .
Approach : Next time a session with customers to understand the current motivations for them is necessary before generating ideas to test with the Learning Launch .
With greater understanding of customer motivations , next time I will be able to use the Learning Launch to test an option that customers will be more interested in . meaning I will be able to make sure I have the right approach to the challenge before I roll it out at scale .

Challenge & Selection
My background and experience for the last 15 + years has been in market research . The structured kind
of market research where the work is linear and analytical . We may do qualitative research , but that ’s primarily to inform our quantitative survey . And , to our customers , whatever the quantitative survey reveals is truth . After all , the client is always crystal clear on the problem they are trying to solve and they just need to run a survey to validate their position to management .
This course has inspired me to think about market research differently . To challenge my colleagues and
clients about the “ problem ” at hand . To ask – what is and what if . It really is about putting the customer of the center of everything we do – rather than putting ourselves and the center and expecting the customer to love what we produce . Historically , leaders in my organization are convinced they know what the customer wants and data is merely a validation tool . Part of my ambition with this course is to start to change that thinking and to encourage a customer - first approach and culture .
To accomplish this , I have selected Mind Mapping as my tool . In my past career , my team was the
producer of the lengthy , market research reports that nobody read . The reports where the client would either cherry pick the data points that validated their beliefs or ignored if the data did n’t support their plans . Mind maps are a creative , visual way to present an abundance of data . By applying the mind mapping tool , I hope to identify patterns and insights in ways that are compelling , and impossible for my colleagues to ignore .
Application & Insight
We have a new product under development . There has been lots of traditional market research
conducted over the past couple of years to support the development and launch of the new product . To ensure we ’re on the right path and developing features that serve the unmet needs of our customers , I am planning to develop a mind map with the exist data and market research reports . The information has been siloed and we have not effectively engaged stakeholders across the organization to synthesize and generate insights from all of the reports . This approach will bring colleagues together and encourage new , creative perspectives to generate fresh thinking , patterns and insights . Given COVID and our work from home situation , we will attempt to do this using remote videoconferencing tools .
I have only planned the exercise and have not had time to actually run the mind mapping session .
While I hope we can gain new insights about our customers and what they want from this product ( or a different product , that we have n’t thought of ) , what I really want to gain is increased awareness from my colleagues about the powerful opportunities of mind mapping and design thinking at large .
Approach
One challenge may be running this mind mapping exercise virtually . When our organization has done
these sessions in the past , we get everyone into a room with sticky notes and markers . We can
create a virtual environment , but , if given the opportunity , we might do it differently next time around .
I think the visual depiction of the mind map is extremely compelling and I think I would use it in other
situations as well . We have so many unread market research reports and leaders have so little time to read those reports . By getting our customers , colleagues and other stakeholders involved to inform the creation of a visual depiction of what the customers need , that will be extremely helpful in ensuring a customer - focused mindset for the next stage of the process - idea generation .

The tool used in my project was Storytelling , which helped me make my team understand the problems of users , this technique favored activating the motivation of each member of my project team , since it favors the understanding of the needs of the user . In this case , the clients are the workers of a retail company , who in a previous data collection phase , through empathy , was able to obtain detailed information for the creation of the Storytelling content .
SELECTION & APPLICATION
Considering that the storytelling technique consists in telling a story in which the objective is to mention the problem and the situation including the actors . In this case , the objective was to directly and massively reach workers at various levels , from operators to managers , and explain what we wanted to do .
After obtaining the necessary information through an immersion , immersing ourselves in the day - to - day of the workers , that is , our internal client . As an area of human resources we wanted to make changes in our processes , to improve the well- being of the worker , for which we needed to communicate to the entire organization and understand it .
The story began with a question , getting the attention of the contributors . The question was related to the importance of the emotional salary towards the workers , to then continue with the story based on the life of a worker , how the level of stress had decreased and their satisfaction with the job had improved .
To then explain the new management strategy that the human resources area has for workers and request their support .
The story was carried out by groups in the auditoriums of the company as well as the different means of communication of the company such as videos in the workplace and virtual murals , to then request their comments and feedback .
INSIGHT & APPROACH
The importance of this technique is based on capturing their attention , penetrating the feelings of the workers , reaching a reflection and achieving the empathy of all . We realized that it was a powerful strategy to carry out the Storytelling , because we obtained favorable results from the workers , who showed us their constant support in our proposal for change , and many wanted to volunteer to be part of the testing of our projects .
For this reason , in the future it would be interesting to increase the use of Storytelling as a strategy to publicize the problem , as well as the solution proposals .

The question was related to the importance of the emotional salary towards the workers , to then continue with the story based on the life of a worker , how the level of stress had decreased and their satisfaction with the job had improved .
To then explain the new management strategy that the human resources area has for workers and request their support .
The story was carried out by groups in the auditoriums of the company as well as the different means of communication of the company such as videos in the workplace and virtual murals , to then request their comments and feedback .
INSIGHT & APPROACH
The importance of this technique is based on capturing their attention , penetrating the feelings of the workers , reaching a reflection and achieving the empathy of all . We realized that it was a powerful strategy to carry out the Storytelling , because we obtained favorable results from the workers , who showed us their constant support in our proposal for change , and many wanted to volunteer to be part of the testing of our projects .
For this reason , in the future it would be interesting to increase the use of Storytelling as a strategy to publicize the problem , as well as the solution proposals .
