1 . Challenge
The challenge I have decided to work on is as follows :
I have to coordinate and manage the work of a team of seven people ( including myself as I will also be providing input ) stemming from various different professional backgrounds ( consulting , academia , business ) , having different levels of experience ( 1 junior consultant , 1 junior academic researcher , 2 confirmed academic researchers , 2 experienced consultants , 1 senior professional ) and different specific professional expertise .
The project the team has to work on is a consulting assignment covering different sub - topics to be included in a general framework of global objectives .
The challenge is threefold :
1 ) I have never worked before with all the members of the present team , i.e. this is a
completely new team architecture ( I have worked closely with one of the team members for many years ; as for the rest of the team , I know their expertise and professional background but I have not worked with them yet ) .
2 ) I have to make sure that each member of the team ( including myself ) will be providing the
adequate input according to his own expertise , and let ’s say professional comfort zone .
3 ) I have to make sure that the overall objectives of the consulting assignment are achieved in
due time and accurately .
The project is about to start very soon and I am currently preparing all the working tools and project management tools . I still have some time to figure out how to dispatch the work between all the team members but I have to be ready when the project will be kicking off .
2 . Selection
In order to better figure out how to work this out , I have decided to use the visualization tool . Firstly , because I am used to do drawings for my own work , i.e. , this is a kind of routine for me , especially when I am stuck with something , or when I am looking for new ideas , or for simply organizing my ideas , I start sketching and drawing ( though I am not an artist at all , so I guess my drawings are surely not beautiful but they tend to be useful to me ) and things become clearer . Secondly , regarding my present challenge , I realized that although I have the resumes of all the team members , hence knowing what they can do and where they can provide added value , I had to link their professional expertise to the objectives of the global consulting project . Instead of making text lists , I thought that it would be easier for me to visualize the project and the team members input . The visualization tool clearly helps make things more concrete , as we have seen in module 1 of the MOOC .
3 . Application
The team had a meeting last week and I started to draw on a white board in order to show the team members how we could dispatch the work between us .
On the left - side of the white board , I listed the various objectives of the project plus the various sub- topics linked to each general objective . On the right - side of the white board , I listed the names of each team member plus specific expertise linked to each team member .
For each team member , I chose a visual icon and a specific color ( example : junior consultant = Blue circle , senior professional = Red star etc . … ) . Then , I asked each team member to draw his visual icon in front of the different subjects and sub - topics of the project he considers he would be adding value .
At the end of the drawing session , we found out that each topic and sub - topic of the global project had been covered , but what was more interesting was that for each topic we could see directly who would be most in charge , and also where each team member would be providing input or not .
4 . Insight
We found out that this drawing session was quite effective as everyone would agree on where to provide input and what his work would be focusing on .
However , I would say that the drawing session could work between us because everybody did it in a very honest way , without trying to gain more topics ( or fewer topics ) to work on , and that the general climate of the meeting was undoubtedly marked by the results we would strive to achieve for our client . In other words , we had all in mind to serve our client the best way , and we did not take into account personal objectives and potential competition issues between the various team members . Hence , I would not recommend using this approach when dealing with a competitive team spirit , which can be often the case within organizations .
5 . Approach
When thinking of an alternative approach to the visualization tool we used , I would possibly refer to the learning launch tool , i.e. conducting a small experiment .
Regarding the present challenge , we could have for example pick up a sub - topic and try to see which team member(s ) would be providing added value during a kind of brainstorming session and working simulation session . But this would have been more time consuming and I am not convinced that in this precise case it would have been as useful as the visualization tool , especially because we are in a preparation phase and not a production phase of the project .
Another option , we could have used a mind mapping tool , which is different from the visualization tool , but this would have possibly added complexity to the process . The visualization tool is very simple and in this present challenge it appeared to be enough for getting results . I believe that in other cases , the mind mapping tool would have been more adequate , especially when looking at
several issues / challenges at the same time . This time , we had solely to focus on work dispatching and the visualization tool was very useful and very adequate .

Challenge and selection :
Mind Mapping is a great tool that I use most of the times . I used to teach the students
from age 6 to 10 . Keeping the student 's attention in the classroom has its challenges . As
the present - day children live in a high speed , constantly evolving , digital world . And that
world affects what they pay attention to and how they learn , according to Psychology
today . So , I have to come with new approaches in teaching to help students absorb new
information.one of that is mind mapping .
Mind mapping is a form of organizing information visually . I start with a broad concept
that branches out into other topics and terms that are related to it . Mind maps are
effective learning tools because they ’re interactive and visual .
Application
I have created a mind map to depict how a concept breaks down into its parts , what those
parts mean and how they tie into each other . This approach helps students understand
new things in ways that make sense to them , allowing them retain new information for
much longer .
A digital mind map gets created on a computer or mobile device with an online design
tool . The traditional approach to mind mapping is essentially drawing mind maps by hand
on paper , the blackboard or a whiteboard . Traditional mind mapping is still useful
because it can be done at any time , allowing students to take notes , brainstorm on the
spot , collaborate with their peers , and more .
I choose traditional approach to mind mapping so that they can easily understand the
concepts .
Insight and Approach
Yeah , this helped my students to learn new concepts very easily and helped them to
express themselves in an unstructured way , even if they ’re working on something
straightforward . Activities that are n’t necessarily exciting for students , like creating a to-
do list or self - reflecting , are a lot more engaging when students are allowed to be creative .
This outlet for creative expression helped students connect with their work , remember
what they ’re learning , and kept them engaged . It also deviated them from the structure
built into most learning environments .
Since I discovered that mind mapping is a great tool to make concepts clear for my
students and also improves my teaching , next time I use it in a more effective way than
now which would be very helpful for my teaching .

Challenge :
The context for this problem is the product launch in my startup . We launched our first product “ Enterprise Resource Planning ( ERP ) products for midscale real estate developers and the product was an economical failure . Upon a thorough post - launch analysis of the product , it was determined that the demands and pain points of the customers were not addressed completely by the product . Determined to keep the company afloat me and my co - founder got back to the drawing board and decided to launch the customer relationship management ( CRM ) product . This launch was very crucial because we were very low on budget and the future of the startup depended on the success of this product .
Selection :
The tool selected is learning launch tool . This was the tool selected because we have already built the minimum viable product and wanted to improve the product further only based on the feedback and the inputs from the customers . We wanted to perfect the “ What wows ” aspect of the design thinking process as described in the lecture 2 .
Application :
The initial set of customers , who would use the minimum viable product , were identified and were sent the product to do a trial run . The product only had the basic functionalities and nothing better than the product they were currently using . However , after a week of them using the product we conducted two in - depth interviews with 18 people using the product . The purpose of the interview was just to find out what features they liked and what features they did not like . After completing the interview of 18 of our customers , we went back to the drawing board and dropped all the features that were voted down . To put things in perspective we had few features that worked and we were back in the “ What if ” stage . We brainstormed a couple of ideas and mapped all the ideas that would enhance the features that were voted up by the customers . The ideas finalized were developed and incorporated into the product .
The product was sent again for trial and this time again we interviewed the people using the product with the sole intention of finding which features eased their work and used more frequently than others . Our product development cycle repeats , we were brainstorming ideas only on the features that our customers loved and we were focused on making those features the best in the market . The other features which were not liked by our customers , we completely stopped the development of those features .
Third time is the charm , we enhanced the features a bit and sent them for a trial again and asked them to use the product for 2 weeks . But this time , we interviewed the managers of the people using the product to understand their perception on the productivity of their teams . The idea was to identify
which aspects of the product were driving the productivity and made an economic sense for the decision makers . The aspects they highlighted were eye - openers because nearly 40 % of the features appreciated by the daily users of the product had actually made no significant changes in the productivity but the other 60 % of the features had increased the productivity of the teams by 25 % . Incorporating the features suggested by the managers had made our product widely useful and our sales increased just based on the word of mouth .
Insights :
If there is one take away from the complete process it would be to make your customers an integral part of the product development . The insights from the customers and the managers were mind numbing because we sketched 30 features and it turned out that only 8 of them were useful . As a startup this information is very critical considering the resource and finance constraints . Eliminating the features with least utility has freed up many of our resources to invest in the features that work .
Approach :
If I had to do the complete process once again , I would further categorize my customers into segments and would try to come up with a categorization of a segment just as done by “ Daily Challenge ” . I would go ahead and test the minimum viable product on the different segments and then customize the product according to the segment . Doing this would make my product equally appealing to all the customer and would lead to faster adaptability .

Challenge and selection
After getting admission into a good b school there were a lot of people asking for advice regarding how to clear entrance exam and to provide them with tricks . I was in a dilemma on how to convey the tricks properly . Will the word hard work suffice ? Everyone throws around works like hard - work and smart work . But to what extend the does these words actually convey the meaning . And moreover to what extend does the listener understand these words . Hence the art of story telling was a great tool to explain the journey . It was essential for the people to understand the background story so that could relate to it and then take steps
or avoid steps that are n't suited to their journey . Human beings are visual creatures and an image gives us a cleared idea . The story instills an image with colors and touches and this lasts longer than just hearing words .
Application
To install the image I started narrating my story . I explain the situations that lead me to pursue the journey - My scores , my experience , my achievements . No person is same and I wanted them to imagine a story where they were the heroes and they had unique skills and they had to use these unique skills to beat their devils . I wanted them to imagine scenes of stress , hopelessness , despair and at the same time the moments to happiness and achievements . Then I wanted to them to look into the past and visualize their weakness . I wanted them to design their future . I wanted them to think without restrictions and take risks . I wanted them to analyse every component and take small risks to see if it was working in their favour . I wanted them to take step by step and reach closer to their goal .
Insight and approach
The story gave them a clear picture . It helped them visualize a path for them . The story telling made it easier for me to express the idea . I had a clear path and logic while narrating everything . Through this course I have come to understand that story telling is a technique that can be used in almost evry circumstances to convey the meaning more clearly . It
captures the attention of the audience and helps them focus and understand . The art of visualization helps us to align our thoughts with the story teller .

Selection : I feel that we needed to use most of the tools , to visualize from the perspective of student that why they join our internship programs then other offered courses . And make understand our employees why it is so important to go into a newer subjective line and to think something outside of bottle to generate the best employees for the market out there .
Application : through this innovation thinking we can convince more number of college student to attend our offered technical internships for their personal growth and more students means the collaborations for projects with other companies in market will increases , our employees get the benefit as well as we will be able to get into the run and divert the career of student to the right path as per market requirements .
Insight : from this we got the whole idea to redesign the prosses for more growth with good initiative and to make difference somehow .

Challenge
My challenge is to convince investor to invest in my fund which specializes on full spectrum algorithmic trading and asset allocation . Because a lot of the technologies , from data sources , ETL , to high performance computing grid , etc . are built in house and proprietary , we are obliged to not to reveal too much information that would impair our competitive advantage in the market .
Selection
The tool we apply is to storytelling , with appropriate abstraction and visualization to describe the general concept of generating our strategies without telling what the strategies are exactly . This storytelling approach include not only the visuals for the products we offer but also the investing philosophies we have on value as well as our employees .
Application
For each strategy , we designate a carefully chosen color to indicate its importance and category , from signal to noise , and from equities to bonds , etc . We also have an abstract roadmap that describes how an idea was born with systematic research and test . It is also very helpful to tell our investors our founding philosophies and the type of people we value highly . A story with the right cause and mission really will resonate with the right investors . Although not all visiting investors buy our stories . Most of the investors are very intrigued to know more about our investment philosophies from the demos we show as well as our fund culture and hiring procedures .
Insight
A picture is worth a thousand words . Oftentimes , people are lost in the details and forgot the overall picture . And in the case where the details are not ought to be told , an effective way to convey ideas and philosophies becomes very important . A good demo also is worth a thousand PowerPoint slides . But at the core , it ’s the comprehensive storytelling of how everything starts , how things work ( visually ) right now , and how things will work in the future . The comprehensive story is tied to the funders and their philosophies .
Approach
To achieve the above task , each step of the roadmap needs to be broken down to smaller pieces , and each piece needs a convincing yet simple visual media for the investors . Although there are options of hiring out third - party design companies to provide the entire suite of visual solutions , it is always better to do everything in house to maintain the original recipe of how things work . A high quality presentation also indicates the professionalism and culture of the fund and the pursuit of excellence should always be in our mind .

Due to projected cultural shift in our organization and push to adopt “ Agile ” methodologies for project deliveries , my challenge was to lead the transformation by choosing an “ Agile ” method e.g. Kanban , re - define the roles of individuals and tasks within the framework of Agile principles .
• Selection : In your own words , briefly describe the tool you selected ( e.g. , what it is and why you selected it for your challenge -- including any appropriate video lecture references ) .
I used Mind Mapping tool – a creative and visual method to find patterns in the data , as described in Week 3 in video lecture by Tiffany Velazquez . I particularly selected this method for my challenge to help me see the various categories of task our team needs to do in order to comply with agreed project deliverables . Having those tasks categorized , now it was easy for me to fit them into a matrix structure used in Agile methods e.g. Sub - projects with our projects were defined as Epics , tasks under those sub - projects were defines as Stories and the “ actionable ” task was then defined as Sub - task of that Story .
• Application : Describe how you applied the tool you selected to your challenge ( e.g. , what you did and how the tool was applied effectively or ineffectively ) .
I started by making a list of all the tasks we did or were planned to do for a small example project which I called as “ Backlog ” and this is how I applied mind mapping tool :
• 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 I gained from applying the tool that having this matrix structure now in place , I was able to discover patterns in terms of complexity of task , inter - dependencies and to of all the workflow of tasks . This affected my thinking about the challenge and about design thinking that if approached in a systematic , well defined steps many of the insights can be discovered in a challenge which otherwise would have been lost e.g. the Workflow and potential bottlenecks in my case . Design thinking enforces that systematic approach by default .
• Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why . Next time I will try two things . First , applying the same tool i.e. Mind mapping , I will go a step further and involve all the stakeholders and reason for that would be to have a holistic view of “ What Is ” . Secondly , I will embark on another step of Design thinking approach that is to discussion with team for the reason that we need to establish a criterion to categorize any task from Backlog to a particular level in the matrix structure .

CHALLENGE
I am currently starting my own business , and my challenge is to test our costumer ’s acceptance of a new
developed product – a Music Box . The project scope includes our department of design and development
composed of five people , as well as the marketing department . The project is limited to internal resources
( budget and employee time ) and should not exceed 2 months of duration . We will focus on trying to uncover
what our customers consider to be valuable , and if the design and features of the developed product are
important for the costumer ’s experience .
SELECTION
We ’ve decided to go for the learning launch tool for this project , since this tool is meant to quickly test an
idea , and especially prototypes .
APPLICATION
For our first learning launch , we focused in having a fully functional prototype , both in design and electronic
hardware . The product was exposed in several stores of electronic goods , where we encouraged the
costumers to interact with the music box and asked their feedback on the design , functionalities , and what
were the features that they considered to be valuable / invaluable .
After gathering the information collected on the first learning launch , we made adjustments on the product ,
and we developed and produced a small series of the music box ( 100 units ) to be sold on the electronic
stores ( 5 stores in total ) to see market acceptance .
INSIGHT
By applying the learning launch tool , our team identified what our costumers value in a music box , being the
results of their feedback slightly different from what we have thought . By making the adjustments on the
product for the second learning launch , around 85 % of the music boxes were sold on the first week , which
traduced in a good market acceptance and ready to be scaled nationwide .
APPROACH
The selected tool – learning launch – was successfully implemented and will be considered to test the launch
of the new products of the company . Although , we might take a different approach for the next time : With
the data gathered on the first learning launch , we might consider to jump to a small series production to test
the market acceptance .

Challenge :
I am a student currently doing post - graduation . So , in day to day life of a student I need to present something to the professors and others in the form of PowerPoint presentations or the assignment submission . I usually could n’t engage people to my presentations and the result is low grades and an unsatisfied myself as I am good at understanding things but could not express that easily the technicality of the things . Even in personal life this is one the biggest problems I face . Friends , cousins , relatives , etc . who all meet me say that I am not able to talk properly and does n’t make other people understand what I am talking about as it may seem too phislophical or technical which all other people might not understand .
Selection :
The tool I selected to overcoming the above - mentioned challenge is Story telling . Science has also confirmed that things are retained most when they are presented in terms of a story . People get engaged easily and take interest on what is happening and what is going to happen . Hence my selection of the story telling tool seems to be the only good option .
Application :
I started the application of the tool right from the core thing , that is my personality , so far , my personality seemed a bit confused . Then I slowly tried few new thing and one thing that worked for me is to associate my personality with someone famous . This made people thing about me more clearly . I changed my looks a bit to look similar to famous person . This is how people started showing interest in me .
Next thing for the process of presenting something I started associating people with thing that create a sense of relationship of people with that particular association . For example , when I link a lazy yet intelligent person to Elephant it makes people thing about them and automatically create a story around them as how they behave . Another example is when I start making story of technical things while presenting to the professors in my university it made a clear idea among them about what I am saying and keep them interested till the end of the project .
Another thought of application is whenever I meet my friends I try make a short fictious story around something trending this makes me to keep them engaging and entertaining . The fictious story is made just for the fun and to start the conversation with a healthy and content to throw in anything to the discussion . Discussion with friends is just for fun so anything and everything has a part in the talk .
Insight :
This tool of storytelling helped me very much not only on overcoming the problems I was facing but also broaden the prospect and my thought process . Now every time a watch commercial I try to understand the story behind they want to tell . To learn and remember things I started making story around almost everything . This transformation process has taught me a lot of the back and front end of storytelling not just in expressing things but also for the understanding things . Now every time I enter a mega store for shopping I understand the theme of the store and the story behind the theme that they want to convey with placing of the product , decoration and colour concept . This process is mentioned in module 2 of the course which helped me in understanding the meaning of storytelling .
Approach :
Next time I would try to use visualization as thinking and imagination are very crucial for any business . Visualization will allow me to think and predict about the short - term outcomes . For example , next I will try to visualise the working first to understand its working process rather than going directly to the machine or asking an expert to understand . First the visualization and then seeing the physical form makes confident about the power of visualization . The thought process becomes clear and the confusion fades away . Visualisation also helps in creative thinking for new products or modification in the existing ones . So , this will be the new approach for the new tool .

Challenge
Storytelling is something that has become a great aspect of my life . I live in a home that takes in
foster kids . Even though I may not be a foster child myself . Children of all ages come into our
home and stay for any amount of time . Many of the children I meet come from homes below the
poverty line and are less fortunate . I try to connect with all the children and make them feel safe
and at home . When a new foster child comes into our care we will try to do a family game night ,
a fire with s'mores , camp out in the back yard or any other number of family activities . My
family does this to help introduce the new child to everyone and to help make them feel
comfortable . Every childs story is different .
Application
One of the foster children that has stayed in our care for many years has become very close with

### Input: Storytelling
Challenge
Storytelling is something that has become a great aspect of my life . I live in a home that takes in
foster kids . Even though I may not be a foster child myself . Children of all ages come into our
home and stay for any amount of time . Many of the children I meet come from homes below the
poverty line and are less fortunate . I try to connect with all the children and make them feel safe
and at home . When a new foster child comes into our care we will try to do a family game night ,
a fire with s'mores , camp out in the back yard or any other number of family activities . My
family does this to help introduce the new child to everyone and to help make them feel
comfortable . Every childs story is different .

Challenge
I
never
realized
how
important
and
useful
design
thinking
tools
are
to
solve
problems .
I
had
to
participate
in
a
multidisciplinary
work
team
to
solve
the
problem
of
a
big
commercial
and
residential
complex .
They
needed
to
redesign
and
improve
their
water
treatment
plant
in
order
to
comply
with
the
local
law .
We
had
the
challenge
to
work
with
such
a
diverse
group
that
everyone
needed
to
understand
each
other 's
work
with
the
purpose
to
succeed
and
convince
the
directors
of
the
complex ,
and
ourselves ,
that
our
redesign
and
the
plans
we
had
were
the
best
proposals
to
improve
their
plant .
Selection
The
directors
of
the
complex
were
our
clients ;
we
needed
them
to
realize
that
the
redesign
of
the
water
treatment
plant
was
going
to
need
a
big
investment ,
in
order
to
improve
the
functioning .
But
first
we ,
as
a
team ,
needed
to
understand
each
other 's
responsibilities
and
tasks
to
complete
a
successful
project .
The
whole
team
came
up
with
several
and
different
ideas .
All
were
great
and
related
to
our
own
specialization ,
so
the
challenge
was
to
put
all
the
ideas
together
and
give
them
an
order
to
select
the
most
appropriate
ones ,
and
present
that
concrete
idea
to
the
directors
of
the
complex .
As
described
in
the
course ,
we
had
to
make
the
design
( and
all
it
involved )
tangible
and
concrete
before
getting
the
actual
work
done .
We
realized
we
had
to
visualize
the
final
project
so
the
directors
could
be
convinced ,
too ,
by
visualizing
the
improvement
proposal .
Application
I
am
a
chemical
engineer .
As
I
mentioned ,
we
worked
as
a
multidisciplinary
team
of
several
chemical
engineers ,
industrial
engineers ,
microbiologists ,
and
even
educators .
As
we
began
with
the
project ,
we
all
came
with
several
ideas
on
how
to
improve
this
water
treatment
plant ,
and
the
ideas
were
great .
But
there
were
too
many ,
some
ideas
were
incomplete ,
some
were
too
complex .
We
were
a
little
overwhelmed
with
all
the
ideas
and
all
the
work
it
implied ;
that
made
us
realized
we
had
to
come
up
with
an
organization
plan .
After
a
while
of
trying
to
figure
everything
out
and
going
through
some
ups
and
downs ,
what
we
finally
did
was
to
put
the
ideas
on
a
board ,
made
the
sketches
we
were
proposing ,
and
relate
all
the
proposed
ideas
and
sketches .
As
we
all
sat
down
and
visualized
in
a
board
all
the
ideas ,
we
began
to
find
an
order
and
logic .
We
also
discarded
the
ideas
that
were
repeated ,
or
the
ones
that
were
way
too
expensive .
Visualizing
the
ideas
in
a
mind
map ,
through
sketches ,
graphics
and
pictures
was
helpful
to
find
the
relationship
with
each
other ’s
work
and
provide
a
proposal
of
a
more
functional
and
efficient
water
treatment
plant .
Besides ,
it
also
helped
us
to
understand
each
other 's
functions
and
duties
that
would
be
the
key
to
convince
the
directors
that
our
proposal
was
the
best .
We
found
out
that
the
microbiologist
could
do
the
analysis
of
how
contaminated
the
water
was
and
it
definitely
needed
improvement ,
so
that
data
would
help
us
as
chemical
engineers
to
design
the
adequate
process
and
equipment .
Even
the
educators
could
use
that
data
to
elaborate
programs
and
plan
trainings
for
the
users
of
the
complex ,
so
they
could
understand
the
good
disposal
of
waste .
The
industrial
engineers
focused
on
the
finances
and
needed
our
final
design
in
order
to
estimate
the
final
costs .
We
concluded
a
really
successful
proposal ,
our
design
was
efficient
and ,
relatively ,
with
a
low
cost ,
and
the
program
of
education
for
the
people
of
the
complex
was
great .
We
even
found
a
way
to
generate
profits ,
by
using
the
well-‐treated
sludge
as
organic
fertilizer
and
they
could
even
sell
it
to
the
people
of
the
residential
or
commercial
complex .
Insight
and
Approach
It
felt
terrible
at
the
beginning ,
like
we
were
never
going
to
get
to
an
agreement
and
we
could
never
understand
what
the
others
wanted
to
propose .
We
needed
not
only
to
find
a
great
improvement
but
also
we
needed
to
convince
the
directors
of
the
complex
that
our
proposal
for
the
improvement
was
the
most
convenient .
I
realized
that
visualization
is
a
great
tool
to
relate
all
the
ideas ,
especially
when
working
with
a
multidisciplinary
group .
The
sketches
and
the
mind
maps
gave
us
a
broad
understanding
of
the
improvements
that
needed
to
be
done .
As
learned
in
the
course ,
the
sketches
and
the
pictures
of
the
water
treatment
plant
that
were
presented
were
really
helpful
for
everyone
to
find
the
most
adequate
solutions
because
it
is
easier
to
understand
through
simple
drawings
rather
than
an
explanation
with
words
and
theory .
This
tool
was
helpful
because
not
everyone
in
the
group
understood
the
theory
behind
each
other 's
specialization ,
so
it
was
easier
to
understand
through
mind
maps ,
graphics
and
pictures .
Literally ,
everyone
could
" picture "
the
design
and
the
tasks
to
complete
the
right
design
proposal .
At
the
end
of
the
day ,
the
visualization
tool
helped
us
to
convince
the
directors
as
well .
Our
proposal
would
generate
profits ,
more
clean
water
and
lower
maintenance
costs .
We
presented
them
a
more
graphic
design
and
plan
because
we
realized
it
is
better
for
the
mind
to
comprehend
through
a
more
concrete
idea .
As
I
mentioned
at
the
beginning ,
I
never
realized
how
helpful
the
visualization
tool
is
to
concrete
the
ideas
we
have
on
our
minds .
Maybe
this
was
not
the
typical
design
or
innovation
project ,
but
I
think
it
was
appropriate
for
this
reflection
because
it
was
a
multidisciplinary
work
group
that
needed
to
create
the
best
design
proposal .
This
course
made
me
realize
that
it
is
easier
to
understand
concepts ,
definitions ,
or
ideas
through
drawings
or
anything
more
concise
that
the
mind
can
process .
It
gives
you
the
chance
to
work
in
a
more
efficient
way
with
excellent
results .
I
think
that
it
would
have
been
more
efficient
to
put
into
practice
this
tool
since
the
beginning .
We
lost
some
time
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
find
a
functional
design
and
listening
to
all
the
extended
ideas
and
explanations .
Next
time ,
I
know
that
putting
all
our
ideas
in
a
board ,
relating
them
through
a
mind
map ,
and
drawing
sketches
can
make
it
a
lot
easier .
What
I
would
add
next
time
with
what
I
now
have
learned
is
applying
the
storytelling
tool .
I
think
hearing
interesting
stories
on
how
the
good
design
and
functioning
of
other
companies
would
have
helped
us
even
more
when
presenting
our
proposal
to
the
directors .

it
was
appropriate
for
this
reflection
because
it
was
a
multidisciplinary
work
group
that
needed
to
create
the
best
design
proposal .
This
course
made
me
realize
that
it
is
easier
to
understand
concepts ,
definitions ,
or
ideas
through
drawings
or
anything
more
concise
that
the
mind
can
process .
It
gives
you
the
chance
to
work
in
a
more
efficient
way
with
excellent
results .
I
think
that
it
would
have
been
more
efficient
to
put
into
practice
this
tool
since
the
beginning .
We
lost
some
time
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
find
a
functional
design
and
listening
to
all
the
extended
ideas
and
explanations .
Next
time ,
I
know
that
putting
all
our
ideas
in
a
board ,
relating
them
through
a
mind
map ,
and
drawing
sketches
can
make
it
a
lot
easier .
What
I
would
add
next
time
with
what
I
now
have
learned
is
applying
the
storytelling
tool .
I
think
hearing
interesting
stories
on
how
the
good
design
and
functioning
of
other
companies
would
have
helped
us
even
more
when
presenting
our
proposal
to
the
directors .

1 . Challenge & Selection .
In order to understand de context and all variables indeed in this problem I selected the tool of visualization . We have had the challenge of mapping correctly our value stream for the number one product in our company , this task needs to involve all our internal costumers of the different areas , who are production , sales , delivery . Every single area had one manager in this project in order to share ideas , situations , internal problems and every single variable that helps the mapping being successful .
2 . Application
As a first step , all those involved were invited to a meeting , we explained the context of the problem and proceeded to go through the entire value chain for the selected product . In posters we began by drawing a flow of the process that had been previously raised , which will serve as a basis for making any necessary modifications . On paper and with the help of the always useful post its we start with the first intervener of the process . First , the material must be melted , in this case the raw material used is plastic . The vital information we must obtain is what type of machinery is used , as used , processing times , machine preparation times , and the volumetry of the raw material to be used . While we were commissioned to carry out this activity continued to tell us how the activity was carried out questions were arising , these questions are completely necessary in order to be able to question the current activity and to look for options for improvement both for the process in general and in that specific activity . While the information was being lifted , any relevant information was written down in a post it and pasted into the corresponding box for that activity as a brainstorm . The most critical point to know is how the individual processes are connected to form the whole process . This connection between activities was also established in our poster to map the process , continuing to the next activity was the turn to carry out the extrusion of the molten material and thus form the finished product . At the end of the information survey activity , we built , together with a multidisciplinary team , the entire value chain of our star product and in that way , we were able to reach important conclusions about what was being done correctly in the process and specifically identify where improvement actions could be carried out and how to map projects to on this specific product .
3 . Insight & Approach
Performing these kinds of exercises are excellent in order to understand the context of the whole problem , not only for those who are directing it but also for everyone involved in the exercise . In this way , the participation and knowledge of other actors and the questioning of certain activities , information or procedures are promoted to , among all , seek a solution that meets the needs of the organization . Using visual tools is especially effective when you need to understand and describe a situation in a very specific way . Most of the time we think that just counting the situation and if other people have clear functioning , but this almost always disagrees with reality because each person has his or her point of view and way of understanding a situation . The use of visual tools help put " a face " to what is being explained and have a better understanding of the situation . As part of my job is to understand even the smallest detail of the activity , process that is mapping and apply this type of methodology and tools help to make simple what at first seems complicated .

1 . Challenge
My job at the organization that I work with is all about CX , where I have to be able to understand customers and convey their messages and feeling to leaders . Essentially I do a lot of Storytelling .
In this case , my challenge was to convey a specific customer journey to the organization through the means of storytelling . For the purpose of communicating opportunities that could be taken for all the organization ’s departments to improve customer experience .
Therefore , the customer ’s journey for this company had to effectively be conveyed to move managers and make them aware of the customer ’s pains and needs . Highlighting the pain areas .
Customer journey is the experience an organization ’s client has by buying its products or receiving its service . For example , buying some fruit from Walmart or getting a credit card at HSBC bank . This begins from the very first moment a client has contact with the company may it be through the internet , a friend , etc ; and up to when a client experiences the result of the product or the service itself . This process then just iterates . In this analysis mostly qualitative data is gathered and the results are guided by insight , which are composed of opinions and feelings . Then it is important to choose the most impactful opinions and emotions to present in the best way .
2 . Selection
For this challenge , I ’ve selected the tool of : Storytelling .
Storytelling essentially is a tool that helps tell a story just as it ’s writing in its name , it conveys a message with emotional connection and a larger purpose . It is now used by organizations to transmit their brand ’s essence and story because “ connects to the emotions , the characters , the values of the people that live that product [ or service ] everyday ” . Then , if I wanted to achieve a powerful moving impact to transmit the customer ’s journey , storytelling is a good tool to achieve this .
The Journey that is also composed of the customer ’s opinions and feelings plays along nicely with the storytelling tool , since it is supported by an emotional connection but also by a larger purpose which is the achieve CX improvement throughout the organization . Therefore , through this tool I would be able to “ take the listener along on their journey ” , inspire and make them want to take action .
3 . Application
Discussing on how to portray the customer ’s journey we came up with an idea . In order to achieve storytelling effectively we first noted all the relevant pain points throughout the analysis . Since we did interviews we were able to note down the exact words said by the customers but also their facial expressions . In turn , we extracted the video parts where relevant quotes on their pain points were mentioned . These extracts were then categorized into pain points . These would be useful to portray the customer ’s feelings and expressions during their journey .
After showing the videos relevant insights were needed , therefore for every customer journey phase , the pain points were noted down with qualitative data that would finish sustaining the pain point .
Design Thinking- Final Assignment : Storytelling
Lastly the opportunities were noted after the data for each phase beside several quotes to obtain again an emotional connection . This was all presented to the organization ’s leaders , mentioning first the challenge and that they could be part of the action plan , followed by the videos displaying the profile of each interviewee and the insights gathered for each phase . Lastly the opportunities and suggestions we gathered that could be taken for them to improve all of the interviewees and their client ’s journey .
In result , I believe the tool was applied effectively however there could have been missing some lingering questions for the audience .
4 . Insight
The presentation giving with the help of storytelling was a success . The emotional connection we were able to convey specially through the videos was amazing , and the story follow up of the interviewees with the insights and opportunities was at its point . Leaders were able to closely feel their clients and get moved by their opinions . One of the most important aspects is not just showing the information but really engaging the audience on the story of each customer and letting them know their opinions . Therefore , the speaking part is very important and has to be a prepared person that know the context and the data . However , the data was also important since the audience were leaders they were specially looking for number and relevance .
5 . Approach
Next time we would include more “ lingering ” questions to better engage the audience , maybe use more visual context for the opportunities to create an emotional connection as well . Like , “ how do you think Maria felt after this issue ? ” . On the other hand , mind mapping could have been another tool to display to leaders their customer ’s journey and get them maybe more emotionally engaged and inspired into taking action . By showing them scattered pieces of quotes and emotions but also data , that they could see and determine then by themselves opportunity areas needed to get rid of the customer ’s pain points .

Challenge and selection I am a student in the bachelor of graphic design and the tool I used was the tool of visualisation , to communicate a message by visual among my classmate and my lecturer before attempting to identify and define possible solutions to the problem . Most design thinkers call visualisation as the “ the mother of all design tools ” because they are used in every stage of the design thinking process . I use this approach often with my classmate , who is generating many fantasy idea from their brain . I have used the technique of using sketching through visual imagery their abstract and concrete ideas for further discussion to allow the final project exhibition to proceed effectively .
Application For our first meeting , most of us suffer from whiteboard addiction . 30 minutes into the meeting and I break the formally and started to draw on a piece of paper . It is not the art that mattered , but the surfacing of the problem , conceptualising ideas and gaining the engagement to shape it better .
Visualisation is a core component of the way that we communicate , we find it easy to articulate problems and concept with circles , boxes , lines and keywords . When we are dealing with very complex problems , we are enacting a different kind of problem - solving that has to bring in more than just logic . Visualisation is really important for the process of design thinking because it is a way of unlocking a different part of our brain . It allows us to think in a very non - verbal way and access parts of our brain , our creativity .
Insight Visualisation features a role to play throughout the design thinking . It ’s a fantastic tool , therein sense , in that we are using those tools which a part of our brain at each introduce the design process , it ’s not just something that has an application in one a part of the design thinking . it 's some ways of being useful in several parts of the design thinking process .
Approach Since I discovered that the foremost valuable aspect is that the shared insights and learning . Next time I would use the visualisation tool as the starting point for a series of design thinking . Then the revised graphic that incorporates their combined feedback can serve as a references tool throughout the remainder of their work .

Select one of the four design thinking tools presented in the course ( listed below ) that you are
interested in applying to a challenge of your choice .
Tools :
1 . Visualization ( Module 1 )
2 . Storytelling ( Module 2 )
3 . Mind Mapping ( Module 3 )
4 . Learning Launch ( Module 4 )
Reflection
Challenge
I work in a training team where we often get requests for ‘ training ’ through a portal that includes an intake form . These requests are often for us to ‘ tell ’ people about something and usually in the form of a powerpoint deck that is n’t always about the audience learning anything . This is usually because the requester is a manager of sorts that goes to a lot of meetings where decks are shared and thinks that this is the only course of action . They usually do n’t know what we can offer and what the best form of communicating their message out would be . This means we need to articulate why what they want is n’t always training and if it is , why powerpoint is n’t always the best way to communicate their message for the best outcome . We then need to work with them to make sure they understand and agree on other methods .
Selection
For this problem , I could have picked either visualisation or storytelling . Visualisation would have been able to convey whether training was the best solution for their needs in the form of a process map , but I felt like it would n’t have conveyed why powerpoint was n’t always best . By looking at the powerpoint issue , requesters would see us more as experts in what we do and then hopefully would take our judgement on whether training was required . Therefore , I chose to implement storytelling . I do n’t want to tell my stakeholders that what they want is wrong because that will only annoy them . Plus , they may be inclined to dig their heels in and demand that we provide this ‘ training ’ . However , I do want to convey the idea that powerpoint is n’t always the best option . Plus , I want to do this in a logical way and that ’s what storytelling is all about . If I can create a cause that ignites the idea that powerpoint is n’t the right option early on , it will be easier for me to sell the right solution later .
Application
To implement my storytelling idea , we created a video with background uplifting music to help convey our positive message . It links text and smaller videos of people doing those activities so people can put themselves in those shoes . This video starts off by setting the scene . We introduce the idea of how we learn to walk , learn to talk and learn to ride a bike . And then I make my point that all of which are definitely without powerpoint . And yet we still learn . This provides a great ‘ A - Ha ! ’ moment that people can get on board with so when we continue and say that this is why we do n’t always train our call centre agents this way , people are already
onboard with the idea .

Insight
By doing this we saw fewer people requesting powerpoint decks because they knew we could offer more and often they would advise that they ’d leave the delivery option up to us to decide as the experts .

Approach
If I was to look at this problem again , I think I would look more broadly at the problem . There is a risk that our storytelling tool misses some people who do n’t have time or who do n’t see the value in watching the video first . Therefore , I would book meetings with our senior leadership team and main stakeholders to deliver the video message in a ‘ Ted Talk ’ style that had more moments of reflection for the audience . This way I could expand even more into the benefits in a way that culturally , people are now used to . This would in effect work as my ‘ big bang ’ and then people would still have the smaller video to refer back to when they came to making requests . This may also mean that more people referred back to the video which would reduce the risk of our message being missed by some people . In my ‘ Ted Talk ’ I could still link into how they learnt to talk , walk and ride a bike but I could go further . I could start this by looking at powerpoint presentations in schools and when they felt like they worked . For example , copying diagrams from the presentation or memorising times tables and history dates . I could then expand into when people feel like they hate powerpoint style learning in theory tests and work compliance CBTs and then look at how we can change things . This could be with more bitesize microlearning , using online learning options , utilizing independent study time , flipping classroom time to mean they condense learning after independent study or they have access to recorded sessions that they can view in their own
time . The options are more than having a classroom full of people viewing a powerpoint deck and by linking examples to things that they commonly know and have done before , the message is easier to understand . Plus , the wider audience means that more people are also aware .

Reflection
Challenge
I work in a training team where we often get requests for ‘ training ’ through a portal that includes an intake form . These requests are often for us to ‘ tell ’ people about something and usually in the form of a powerpoint deck that is n’t always about the audience learning anything . This is usually because the requester is a manager of sorts that goes to a lot of meetings where decks are shared and thinks that this is the only course of action . They usually do n’t know what we can offer and what the best form of communicating their message out would be . This means we need to articulate why what they want is n’t always training and if it is , why powerpoint is n’t always the best way to communicate their message for the best outcome . We then need to work with them to make sure they understand and agree on other methods .
Selection
For this problem , I could have picked either visualisation or storytelling . Visualisation would have been able to convey whether training was the best solution for their needs in the form of a process map , but I felt like it would n’t have conveyed why powerpoint was n’t always best . By looking at the powerpoint issue , requesters would see us more as experts in what we do and then hopefully would take our judgement on whether training was required . Therefore , I chose to implement storytelling . I do n’t want to tell my stakeholders that what they want is wrong because that will only annoy them . Plus , they may be inclined to dig their heels in and demand that we provide this ‘ training ’ . However , I do want to convey the idea that powerpoint is n’t always the best option . Plus , I want to do this in a logical way and that ’s what storytelling is all about . If I can create a cause that ignites the idea that powerpoint is n’t the right option early on , it will be easier for me to sell the right solution later .
Application
To implement my storytelling idea , we created a video with background uplifting music to help convey our positive message . It links text and smaller videos of people doing those activities so people can put themselves in those shoes . This video starts off by setting the scene . We introduce the idea of how we learn to walk , learn to talk and learn to ride a bike . And then I make my point that all of which are definitely without powerpoint . And yet we still learn . This provides a great ‘ A - Ha ! ’ moment that people can get on board with so when we continue and say that this is why we do n’t always train our call centre agents this way , people are already
onboard with the idea . I could include an interactive element where I get the audience to take part in compiling an internet based mind map about the best training that they ’ve ever been part of before we then explore all the different options we have for training . I ’d then conclude with a call to action that we can work with stakeholders to find the best option so make sure that they start the discussion . We attached this to the portal where our training intake form was so that requesters would be able to see this first before making the request in the hope that they would n't specify how they wanted the training to be delivered so that we could have that detailed conversation with them instead .

Challenge & Selection :
Sketching is important for me as I am an architecture student , I have to find ideas and do many things for my project , so the first tool I used was a Mind mapping , it helps me a lot to order my thinking and what I am going to do and what I must do . Eash Project I had , I used to make a mind mapping for it to know what I need to do and organize my time so I would not be missing the time .
This is one of my mind mappings to organize time and my works to pass the final successfully .
ps : my native language is Arabic and this mind map was in Arabic and the other is in English .
Application :
First I wrote everything I should do , such as site analysis , concept , 3D modeling , and plans then I put each one on a different side and writing more details about them and identify the most important things I have to do first and put them in the form of points I do schedule for each part to finish at the right time .
This tool ( Mind mapping ) save me a lot of time and effort because everything was organized . In addition , I used to use a mind map for plans of my project such I have to make a plan for a house so I write all spaces I should put in specific space then I sketching this plan with spaces depending on the relationship between those spaces . In Architecture , we called them Bubble diagram , Zoning , and sketching , etc .
Insight :
What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that while the graphic and sketching I knew new things and understand fastly to every part of my map as there is no enough time , Mind mapping save time for me , I could do the searching , find ideas , and developed the best idea , and at the end of the project , I see I have achieved a great achievement . putting the tasks in a schedule was the best tool for time management , at last but not least , mind mappings not the only tool I used to use in Architecture , there are Visualization and Learning Launch . Because I have to imagine the idea and concept of this idea which in the end it should be a building .
Also , I need to know that my idea can work in real life so I did a small model and see how it works Design thinking helps me every time and gives perfect new thoughts with methods .

Challenge and selection : A typical type of issue which I have faced in my career were when we were supposed to attend seminars on how to solve issues or more appropriately il say problems on ages and cross relation between blood relations . It was one of the most challenging tasks to have been faced since in that we were supposed to find blood relations between Dad ’s Dad which we well of course know it is Grandfather . Hence it became more and more a challenge when we were supposed to find more and deeper inside going in chains endlessly . Seeing to this I thought of developing a mind map for the same which would in turn help me in creating easy solutions for blood relations which will help me further in Aptitude as well as on a personal note .
Application : Reading is an important way to grow as a professional , but with busy schedules , it can be hard to digest a book or resource enough to apply it to your work . Mind maps can help you truly absorb what you read . For example , Grubb used a Mind Map to summarize the book Made to Stick by Chip and Dan Heath . First , he read the book and highlighted words and phrases that caught his attention . When he was done reading , he went back and made a mind map from the highlighted sections and was able to use that mind map to successfully guide his next project . I used the same approach for the blood relation problem and prepared a mind map for the same . It visually showed the whole process in one concreate diagram which led to easy visualization of blood relation in a summary
Insight and Approach : To further provide insight to mind map I used numerous techniques which were presented in the course . Overall I selected one and started creating mind maps for the same which helped in due course of time . Television personality Mr. Buzan used the following mind map guidelines
o Start in the center with an image of the topic , using at least 3 colors . o Use images , symbols , codes , and dimensions throughout your mind map . o Select key words and print using upper or lower case letters . o Each word / image is best alone and sitting on its own line . o The lines should be connected , starting from the central image . The lines become
thinner as they radiate out from the center .
o Make the lines the same length as the word / image they support . o Use multiple colors throughout the mind map , for visual stimulation and also for
encoding or grouping .
o Develop your own personal style of mind mapping . o Use emphasis and show associations in your mind map . o Keep the mind map clear by using radial hierarchy or outlines to embrace your branches
I used the same approach over the problems and got wonderful results which helped me in my day to day professional life as well as in Aptitude which was one of my major challenges in life .

Storytelling is a tool that I use all the time . I work with active citizens of the country who are vocal about different social and political issues . Many of these people deal with various psychological issues in every aspect of their lives but strive to make other ’s ’ lives better , they need to empower and inspiration is a path to empowerment . I spend a lot of time “ opening people up ” and finding ways to let them inspire others to improve their circumstances . When I work with teenagers , we share stories for different reasons . Often they 're full of energy and are so happy to share stories of their lives with me to connect and they find meaning in sharing these experiences , in a sense . With my mature clients I share stories of my life in order to help them visualize a state of struggle or growth , 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 provide them with opportunities to empower others .
Application
I have a story about using storytelling . In discussing policy changes with as user , I was trying to explain to them the benefits of taking a more user focused approach , among other things , and in particular , of recognizing each person as a unique being , and addressing their individual needs first and foremost . I was also explaining how sometimes addressing the needs of one individual can impact everyone for the better , even if it seems extreme or out of the ordinary . I told a story about 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 user , and I think it had a big impact on them . The policies are being looked through new lens and their group is 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 was assigned to a working group that represented a three main functions within the Company . The company was struggling with how to address the issues created by new technologies that spanned those functions . Representatives were subject matter experts in their functions , but collectively the working group could not move forward because there was no consensus on the problems that had to be solved . Working group meetings devolved into unguided discussions , and there was not any progress . The prompt for my work came from one of the senior executives who chartered the working group by asking how all of the functions worked together . Since I represented the senior executive in the working group , the task came to me .
Selection
The challenges that I had were many . First , I was only an expert in one of the functions and knew far less about the other fields . To be successful , it was important to work with the other experts to gain their inputs and create consensus . Second , I could not ask the senior executive to read a lengthy report , or even an executive summary of one , due to restrictions on his time .
I selected the tool of visualization , similar to the idea of journey mapping presented in the video , “ Good Kitchen Story . ” To be a success , the visualization would have to be generalized ( i.e. , no specific examples ) but detailed enough across the functions to create understanding .
Application
Using the representatives ’ statements gained from one - on - one and group conversations , I created a visualization that showed the functions and the challenges at the boundaries between functions and inside of the functions . The first several drafts were wrong , of course , but I continued to iterate until there was general agreement that the overall system was correctly depicted . Overall , the visualization was an effective technique in meeting my executive ’s information requirements , but it turned out to also be an effective technique generating consensus within the working group .
Insights
I learned several things by using this approach . The first was that changing the overall system required some level of empathy and trust with the subject matter experts . Rather than relying on my go - to technique of examining documentation , I had to create an overall picture of the system using the subject matter experts ’ verbal and written descriptions .
Second , this approach itself also posed a problem ; while these individuals were doubtlessly experts in their own fields , they also did n’t hesitate to attribute problems to other functions which I could not accept unconditionally . Rather than dismiss these statements , I attempted to confirm or deny them with the functional experts . In cases where the statements were denied , I highlighted the dissonance for the group so that the experts could discuss the issue and gain consensus . In almost all of the cases , the problems that were attributed by others were caused by simple misunderstandings of each other .
Third , this approach actually helped achieve working group consensus on the problems that we were facing , which was not my original goal . My executive appreciated the visualization and it created the understanding that he needed . However , the process of creating the visualization and presenting the final product to the working group created consensus and mutual understanding !
Instead of politely listening to each other before asserting our own problems , we could now see each other ’s problems and how those problems were interrelated .
Approach
The visualization approach worked well in this situation by helping to form a mutual understanding of a very ambiguous problem . While the main purpose was to demonstrate how the three functions were interrelated , visualization also helped us draw boundaries around the overall system which helped keep the group focused . Additionally , the level of abstraction was effective in identifying the major problems without getting bogged down in the details of each individual function .
I have continued to use these types of visualizations , mostly in situations where there is some ambiguity about system definitions or processes . In my current job as a data scientist , I occasionally have to work with customers whose processes are not well - defined . In order to work with them effectively , visualizations are critical to achieving mutual understanding .
This approach could be less effective in other situations . In systems or processes that are already well understood by all stakeholders , there ’s no need to use resources to create a visualization . The level of abstraction used in this case may also be ineffective elsewhere . A rule of thumb that I try to use ( from the system modeling world ) is to use a level of abstraction that can describe the phenomenon of interest and not lower .

### Input: Challenge
I was assigned to a working group that represented a three main functions within the Company . The company was struggling with how to address the issues created by new technologies that spanned those functions . Representatives were subject matter experts in their functions , but collectively the working group could not move forward because there was no consensus on the problems that had to be solved . Working group meetings devolved into unguided discussions , and there was not any progress . The prompt for my work came from one of the senior executives who chartered the working group by asking how all of the functions worked together . Since I represented the senior executive in the working group , the task came to me .
Selection
The challenges that I had were many . First , I was only an expert in one of the functions and knew far less about the other fields . To be successful , it was important to work with the other experts to gain their inputs and create consensus . Second , I could not ask the senior executive to read a lengthy report , or even an executive summary of one , due to restrictions on his time .
I selected the tool of visualization , similar to the idea of journey mapping presented in the video , “ Good Kitchen Story . ” To be a success , the visualization would have to be generalized ( i.e. , no specific examples ) but detailed enough across the functions to create understanding .
Application
Using the representatives ’ statements gained from one - on - one and group conversations , I created a visualization that showed the functions and the challenges at the boundaries between functions and inside of the functions . The first several drafts were wrong , of course , but I continued to iterate until there was general agreement that the overall system was correctly depicted . Overall , the visualization was an effective technique in meeting my executive ’s information requirements , but it turned out to also be an effective technique generating consensus within the working group .
Insights

Challenge
The Sun & Beach online swimsuits , swimwear and bathing suits store is just selling small and medium sizes of their products , all the plus sizes are stock in inventory . Although they offer a lot of options and styles , specially designed for young and adult females .
My challenge is to find the reason why the plus sized public does n’t want to buy their products anymore and create a viable solution to the problem .
Selection
To solve this problem I choose the visualization tool , which means thinking in a whole new level and achieve a common understanding of the problem , idea or solution using graphical and optical resources . This instrument put everybody in the same place and helps to communicate in a more visual and clear way with stakeholders . In other words , it ’s to make a complex idea easier to comprehend and tangible using visual thinking .
I selected this tool for my challenge because it helped me to define possible solutions to the Sun & Beach store and to present them to potential and actual clients , members of the team work and another important stakeholders .
Application & Insights
In the first place , I create a multidisciplinary team composed by a web designer , a graphic designer , a physiologist and a marketer and publicist . Then we plan the steps of our investigation , we started getting to know the sales history , web page design evolution , products , brand corporate identity and the way they communicate with their potential and actual costumers ( speech , brand voice ) .
After we talked with the store CEO and all the crew members to really know how the company worked and their perception and opinion of the problem , we interviewed 10 loyal clients and 10 potential customers , especially plus sized . The questions we ask ( supported by images , photos and graphics ) were about web page design and comfortability , product offer , fitting issues , package , promotions , payment options , sizes , the models they used to show their products and all the essential elements that convince them to buy there . Also we put the interviewed to shop online while we were secretly observing their behavior , preferences and decisions . Through these tools were gained some insights :
- The women are n’t satisfied with their bodies ( low self - esteem ) .
- They look for something that highlight their best attributes or exactly to hide the worst .
- No one feels identified with the models because “ they are so perfect and thin ” .
- The plus sized women felt the brand was not for them , just for skinny girls .
Getting to know insights affected the way we solved the problem , if we would n’t listened the costumers feelings and seined their expressions we would not have been able to create such a successful solution to the problem .
After the investigation we decided to change a few things about the web page design and the store advertising campaign . We gave the brand a new spirit , by replacing the perfect not - real models with normal and natural women . We change the superficial voice and image of the brand for an empowering and empathic one , were the costumers could be represented and feel identified with the model dressing their possible next swimsuit or swimwear . The idea was to give a positive message making them feel great about their bodies . We also made an adjustment in the web page , making the model change depending the size you choose . And in the home page , we showed all sizes models , with that simple change everyone will feel included .
When we showed the results to the 20 women previously interviewed , all of them said that they loved the idea and that being able to see it functioning in a mock up in the computer has helped them to understand it better and do more feedback .
In conclusion , the visualization tool was applied in four stages of the problem solving process . First of all , to order and investigate the problem , studying all the visuals and written resources . Second , to ask visual questions in the interviews , giving the women examples and photos . Third , to visualize and understand the purchase decision process . And four , to show a design resolution to the problem to the interviewed and to define the solution . In all the steps was really effective because of its power to make everyone see the same picture .
Approach
In this specific case , I would like to have asked the women in the research to teach me the kind of women they wanted to see in the store web page , instead of having made the proposal myself . Even it worked , I think that it would be nice to know their opinion without any influence . Maybe knowing their visualization of strong and confident women could help us to create more impacting and life changing messages .

Assignment : Reflection – Storytelling
Design Thinking Innovation ( University of Virginia )
Javier Vega 6/14/2020
Reflection - StoryTelling
Challenge & Selection I work for an Insurance company based out of India . My respective department is Innovation & Digital Transformation . I work with the Analytics , IT and Business Teams closely to discover better ideas and solutions to increase business efficiency and profitability . Our team comprises of 6 employees , each from a different background and having multiple skill sets . In Insurance Industry , we are the risk takers for any consumer and in exchange of Premium ( Amount paid by the consumer to protect an asset in case of any uncertainty ) , we assure them a promise . For the consumer , the only value that he / she has from an Insurance document is the service . For us , customer satisfaction matters the most and is an important component for us to renew that customer for her/ his future needs as well . The basic motto of our department is to develop certain tools and methods to provide customer a seamless service in purchase of policy and a efficient experience in claim settlement . A customer can have various claims in his lifetime , like health , motor or any general Insurance Claim . Its our duty to be the best on the ground and help the customer in all sort of ways . We give our best as an organization , but its always important for us to keep our customer ’s demand and expectations in mind too . It might be that we would be thinking from an organizational point of view keeping profit / loss in mind , but its always important to hear the customer too . During the Coronavirus Pandemic , we decided to have a conversation with our golden customers and listen to them . Surprisingly , we came across a unilateral view that we were still being a Traditional Insurance Company and we had great opportunities in the Digital Field . For us the focus was now , not to be only an Insurance Provider but also a Tech savy company with digital solutions on the go . We had to deliver digital solutions to the customer , where he could instantly claim for settlement in case of any loss , i.e. , the customer need not follow up with the helpline / customer care executives or go to the Insurance Office with a lot of policy documents , but instantly receive a claim settlement at the comfort of his location .
Selection The reason for selecting the Story telling tool was intimating all the teams the consumer experiences . We have a duty of covering their losses in case of any uncertainty and we wanted to view the digital solutions that could be provided by the organization for digital claim settlement , efficiently and paperless .
Application We had a word with around 40 - 50 customers and all of them had a unilateral view of digital claim settlement . No one wanted to get out of their home for any claim issues and wanted to solve it from his / her place itself . We had a word with the IT Team and they said we would require a streamlined data structure aligned with the company ’s website with real time tracking of the claim . I remember giving them an example of a lady who was in her mid 70s , she had to claim for her husband ’s health expenses
and she was in a complete mess with respect to understanding the Claims Procedure and the steps to be take for claim settlement . The TAT for any settlement is 7 days but it took 20 days for her to complete this process . We had to design a structure which could instantly allow the user to upload all the necessary documents on the portal and ask for a claim settlement on the go . It was difficult to start with all the verticals together so we planned to take Motor Claims as a priority and started working on it . There are various documents which are required from the Customer ’s side for a motor claim and he / she also has to travel to the Service Station for the Claims Process . We came on a conclusion to automate the entire claim process . With the help of Business Teams , IT Team & our Customer Support Team , we hosted a helpline , anyone who had a claim could just call on the given contact details and start the procedure . The following steps were to be followed :
Call the Helpline .
Register the Claim , Mention Policy Details and the Insuree name .
Provide the details of the Car ’s location and if any assistance was required ( car to be taken to the service station/ picked up from home )
Upload the necessary documents on the web portal
Track the claim
Car drop to Customer after the claim being settled and the car being repaired
Insight After this process being launched for our Motor Claim Vertical , we went on ground and had a feedback session with all our Motor Claim customers . They all were very much satisfied and they also encouraged us to start this process for all our verticals . We took it as a challenge and started thinking on various modules on how we can provide value to the customer . We recently are building a customer ’s app which could help the customer raise a claim without calling the helpline and just uploading the video/ image of the car . The process would become more efficient and could help company save on various expenses as well . It could make our company the first mover on Claim Surveyance , first in the industry with Instant Claim Settlement Quotations . Though it needs a lot of data modeling and IT Support , we are building are infrastructure for the same as this is the defined future .
Approach For us as an organization , the StoryTelling Tool , really worked well . For any organization , its necessary to listen to its customers and the services that they might be expecting for better brand building and increasing sales as well . I think these customer experiences , mattered the most for all the teams and they were working to achieve a common target , i.e. , Customer Satisfaction .
Over the months , our customer base has increased rapidly . The customer is fully satisfied with the services and we also have achieved an increment % in retaining our valuable customers . We are nomore a traditional insurance company but a tech savy Insurance Providers .

They all were very much satisfied and they also encouraged us to start this process for all our verticals . We took it as a challenge and started thinking on various modules on how we can provide value to the customer . We recently are building a customer ’s app which could help the customer raise a claim without calling the helpline and just uploading the video/ image of the car . The process would become more efficient and could help company save on various expenses as well . It could make our company the first mover on Claim Surveyance , first in the industry with Instant Claim Settlement Quotations . Though it needs a lot of data modeling and IT Support , we are building are infrastructure for the same as this is the defined future .
Approach For us as an organization , the StoryTelling Tool , really worked well . For any organization , its necessary to listen to its customers and the services that they might be expecting for better brand building and increasing sales as well . I think these customer experiences , mattered the most for all the teams and they were working to achieve a common target , i.e. , Customer Satisfaction .
Over the months , our customer base has increased rapidly . The customer is fully satisfied with the services and we also have achieved an increment % in retaining our valuable customers . We are nomore a traditional insurance company but a tech savy Insurance Providers .

Some years ago , when I was still a university student studying Electronics , a problem was
identified with blind people , who needed a portable machine to detect currency in bills .
In my country there is an institution for blind people known as the Hellen Keller Institute ,
in which care is given to this population .
The Storytelling tool was used to gain a better understanding of what this group of people
really needed .
A visit was made to the Hellen Keller Institute to propose a meeting with some blind
people so that through some stories told by them of a certain problem they were
experiencing in terms of being vulnerable to fraud , they would discuss the need for these
people in terms of detecting counterfeit bills and thus avoiding robberies and deception of
this population when they charge for the jobs and services they perform for their daily
sustenance . Something that would also lead them to feel a state of independence in terms
of asking for help from other people with good visual health to detect counterfeits and
would give them more confidence and autonomy in themselves .
To gain the trust of the participants , I told them a story about a friend who had been
scammed and had a very expensive radio recorder stolen from him . How he felt bad for
having fallen into a trap which had also generated a loss of self - confidence and how this
that happened to my friend motivated me to think about doing something for people
vulnerable to scams and so on . The idea of a ticket detection machine for blind people
was born .
The meeting was held with seven blind people , who had had problems when unscrupulous
people had paid them with false bills , causing a significant financial loss for them .
These people commented that although they had checked the banknotes , the copies were
so good that they passed the touch test as if they were real banknotes . Also , the smell test
since the banknotes have a certain aroma , things that a person with normal eyesight does
not have in mind .
On the other hand , information was sought from banknote detection machines , which led
to the knowledge that banknote detection machines at that time were only capable of
detecting a single type of banknote and , furthermore , they were made to be used only by
people they have no visual problems .
One of the main underlying problems is that there are several denominations of
banknotes , which must be correctly identified so that blind people can recognize whether
it is a real banknote or a counterfeit .
The questions revealed missing elements for the creation of a device which would help
with the solution of the problem . Listening to the stories told by these people helped
them to be able to think like a blind person , that is , to put themselves in the place of the
blind person and see their world from their same perspective in order to solve the
problem .
With the needs presented by this group of blind people , it was possible to understand
more about the problems they face every day , and it was possible to think about the
design of a prototype to try at least to cover all the needs exposed as a group , making the
necessary adjustments that allowed it to function and could help blind people to be less
prone to scams .

Challenge :
I founded a watch company in the Philippines a few years back with the aim of becoming the first Filipino- owned watch company that assembled its timepieces locally . Being a physicist and a technical watch enthusiast , I wanted to plant the seeds on developing watchmaking in the Philippines . So , without having any business background , I decided to conduct a Learning Launch to test my idea through an experiment . With the gap in my business acumen , I was fortunate enough to come across a book called The Physics of Business Growth which happened to be written by Tom Garza and Rosa Cortes . By coming up with an analogy of putting up a business or an idea through the scientific method , I was able to grasp the process . The analogy was very helpful .
At the very beginning , the main task was to decide on the kind timepiece that will be launched as a test . The test would be to test the brand ’s name recall and retention , targeted market acceptance , and , of course , sales .
Selection :
I gathered three of my friends who were from different industries to join me in developing the initial model and asked them for their insights . Apart from this , I also held a separate brainstorming session with my lead technician . I believed that through the product ideation , we had a good product to test .
Application :
During our learning launch , we focused on the creation of the brand and in properly sending out the message about us and the product that we launched . Given the limited financial resources we had then , we decided to launch a high - quality basic dress timepiece as it aligns with the brand ’s image . We launched the timepiece in a boutique hotel ’s restaurant and invited friends from the press and some showbiz personalities . We wanted to get feedback through different streams so that we can properly address possible points for improvement , and as well as build on the things we were doing correctly . The brand and the timepiece were accepted well as we had good sales and we were even invited to enter major online retail channels already .
However , although the launch was a success , we did encounter important constructive feedback afterwards .
Insight :
Through the application of the tool , we learned what did work and to whom did it work . Apparently , the brand was accepted better than the product . The product that we had initially launched , with its technical specifications and price point , was not able to hit out intended market . Rather it hit a different segment of the market . However , when word had gone out that there is a Filipino - owned watch company assembling its watches locally , there was a significant number of requests from the brand ’s followers for

a mechanical watch release . Although this was already in the plans down the line , the company decided to respond to the requests to launch a mechanical watch less than a year later .
The learning launch was able to jumpstart the company at the start and it would not have gone far without it . We have constantly been doing learning launches succeeding it . And today may be another good opportunity to use it as the industry had been hit hard by the global health crisis and the market ’s retail behavior have changed drastically .
Approach :
This tool had been very helpful to the company as it allowed us to learn more about ourselves and our market . We had learned so much doing learning launches . But as the company grows , we will need to modify the scale of our learning launches before we go all out into the public . Entering targeted communities or clubs , or organizing private events , can be one way to improve learning launches in the future .

REFLECTION
STUDENT : Selene Rodriguez
DESIGN TOOL APPLIED – LEARNING LAUNCH
Challenge
As a university student in the business creation and development degree , I constantly see the need to generate alternative solutions to existing problems , or market opportunities detected as part of trends in the environment . Generally , in work teams , we use different approaches , such as social , environmental and , of course , economic . The objective pursued in the design subjects that I have had the opportunity to take is the generation of innovative solutions through the design thinking methodology , seeking to connect the true needs and deep motivations of users with the ideas and solutions proposed , guaranteeing that Through the use of various tools that we are following the right path and that the generated solution , which will be transformed into a tangible product or service , really adds value and is functional for our end users ( we use a user - centered approach ) .
During an immersion block , the challenge presented by the academy consisted of detecting a large- scale problem and generating a high - impact solution for said situation . Through a 6 - month process , we had the opportunity to generate a viable , scalable , and high - impact business model , having as its guiding principle the problem analyzed .
Although the process carried out was long and we had the opportunity to apply various design tools , including those presented in this course ; I consider that one of the most relevant was the one referring to the validation process , presented as Launching Learning . In this sense , it is important to mention that the problem detected refers to the situation of unemployment and remote work driven by the COVID-19 pandemic ; Market trends showed the increase and permanence of the remote work modality , in addition to the potential growth of users interested in working at their own pace as freelancers .
Selection
After a process of discovery and deep analysis of the market needs ( of the client and potential user , defined as two profiles with totally different motivations ) and once we obtained relevant and quality information that served as a basis for generating ideas for solution to the problem , my team and I decided that the most appropriate thing would be to carry out a dynamic of idea validation through the generation of low - fidelity prototypes , with the aim of presenting them to the potential user ( described in detail through the use of ethnographic tools and achieving segmenting our two main users , since the project was about a mobile application for the provision of technical and professional services through a “ shared economy ” business model ) .
The objective of implementing the strategy , as mentioned in the videos of this course , lies in the need to test the efficiency and acceptance of the platform proposed as a solution to the problem ,
in addition to obtaining in - depth feedback on user interaction . with the elements presented in the application , but above all , to obtain information that disapproves of the use of it and will give us a more realistic approach about what the client wants and needs , providing us with a clearer guide for the modification of the proposed solution . In general , this tool worked as a fast and cheap means to validate the efficiency of the solution , as well as the level of user involvement with it .
Application
As part of the application process , the team and I designed a series of pretotypes and a working low- fidelity prototype with the resources at our fingertips . Through this design we were able to provide potential users and clients with a close perspective of what the proposed application would offer to satisfy the problem of hiring and obtaining professional jobs ( according to the objective of each user ) . Through the resources and elements available , we had the opportunity to create a demo of the application quickly and visually with the most relevant basic functions and we provided access to various users ( considered within our target market ) to interact with it and provide feedback based on your experience and expectations of use .
Insight
In this step of the process , we try to discover in an objective and punctual way what wows and what Works for our users . Through the interaction with the presented prototype , we obtained relevant and common information that provided us with elements to pivot the original idea .
The most important insight we obtained is about the importance for the user of having a system of references and opinions of other clients who have already received a service from a certain professional , registered on the platform . The prototype presented presents a range of evaluation of the experience in a general range of five stars , however for the users ( potential clients ) it was important to add specific criteria that could be visible to determine which professional profile would be more suitable to their needs ; for example , certain relevant factors were added such as : cost , time , quality of service , friendliness of the freelancer , communication , among others that are highly relevant when making a decision . Thus , the visualization of the qualifications in each element separately provides the user with a better knowledge of the professional to be hired , providing the opportunity to " judge and select " according to their priorities or specific needs .
Approach
The design thinking process used to generate solutions in this challenge was really complete and very useful in order to fully satisfy the needs of the end user , also guaranteeing the viability of the project in terms of the business model and the financial model required as part of the projections and growth potential of the same .
The tool used allowed us to reflect and rethink about the first idea generated to solve the problem . The construction of a low - fidelity prototype allowed us to obtain quality information quickly and
cheaply and allowed us to generate appropriate modifications that allowed us to satisfy the wishes of the user without having to invest too much time and money in an idea whose feasibility was practically unknown . The use of design thinking tools ( in general ) analyzed during the course , as well as their presentation through specific cases allowed me to obtain a broader and more precise perspective of the importance of carrying out user - centered thinking and design processes to guarantee the generation of solutions that truly meet the wishes and needs of a specific client or group of clients . Something that I will definitely do differently in future idea generation processes is the application of the 4 questions analyzed : What is , What if , What Wows and What Works , in order to use a specific methodology that allows guiding the generation of solutions of a An adequate and functional way , which will definitely be useful for the development of new projects and work with multidisciplinary teams that contribute different points of view and enrich the final result of the process .

After a process of discovery and deep analysis of the market needs ( of the client and potential user , defined as two profiles with totally different motivations ) and once we obtained relevant and quality information that served as a basis for generating ideas for solution to the problem , my team and I decided that the most appropriate thing would be to carry out a dynamic of idea validation through the generation of low - fidelity prototypes , with the aim of presenting them to the potential user ( described in detail through the use of ethnographic tools and achieving segmenting our two main users , since the project was about a mobile application for the provision of technical and professional services through a “ shared economy ” business model ) .
The objective of implementing the strategy , as mentioned in the videos of this course , lies in the need to test the efficiency and acceptance of the platform proposed as a solution to the problem ,
in addition to obtaining in - depth feedback on user interaction . with the elements presented in the application , but above all , to obtain information that disapproves of the use of it and will give us a more realistic approach about what the client wants and needs , providing us with a clearer guide for the modification of the proposed solution . In general , this tool worked as a fast and cheap means to validate the efficiency of the solution , as well as the level of user involvement with it .
Application
As part of the application process , the team and I designed a series of pretotypes and a working low- fidelity prototype with the resources at our fingertips . Through this design we were able to provide potential users and clients with a close perspective of what the proposed application would offer to satisfy the problem of hiring and obtaining professional jobs ( according to the objective of each user ) . Through the resources and elements available , we had the opportunity to create a demo of the application quickly and visually with the most relevant basic functions and we provided access to various users ( considered within our target market ) to interact with it and provide feedback based on your experience and expectations of use .
Insight
In this step of the process , we try to discover in an objective and punctual way what wows and what Works for our users . Through the interaction with the presented prototype , we obtained relevant and common information that provided us with elements to pivot the original idea .
The most important insight we obtained is about the importance for the user of having a system of references and opinions of other clients who have already received a service from a certain professional , registered on the platform . The prototype presented presents a range of evaluation of the experience in a general range of five stars , however for the users ( potential clients ) it was important to add specific criteria that could be visible to determine which professional profile would be more suitable to their needs ; for example , certain relevant factors were added such as : cost , time , quality of service , friendliness of the freelancer , communication , among others that are highly relevant when making a decision . Thus , the visualization of the qualifications in each element separately provides the user with a better knowledge of the professional to be hired , providing the opportunity to " judge and select " according to their priorities or specific needs .
Approach
The design thinking process used to generate solutions in this challenge was really complete and very useful in order to fully satisfy the needs of the end user , also guaranteeing the viability of the project in terms of the business model and the financial model required as part of the projections and growth potential of the same .
The tool used allowed us to reflect and rethink about the first idea generated to solve the problem . The construction of a low - fidelity prototype allowed us to obtain quality information quickly and
cheaply and allowed us to generate appropriate modifications that allowed us to satisfy the wishes of the user without having to invest too much time and money in an idea whose feasibility was practically unknown . The use of design thinking tools ( in general ) analyzed during the course , as well as their presentation through specific cases allowed me to obtain a broader and more precise perspective of the importance of carrying out user - centered thinking and design processes to guarantee the generation of solutions that truly meet the wishes and needs of a specific client or group of clients . Something that I will definitely do differently in future idea generation processes is the application of the 4 questions analyzed : What is , What if , What Wows and What Works , in order to use a specific methodology that allows guiding the generation of solutions of a An adequate and functional way , which will definitely be useful for the development of new projects and work with multidisciplinary teams that contribute different points of view and enrich the final result of the process .

Challenge and Selection
I am a high school student and I work on a lot of group projects . Recently , I took part in a group project whose goal was to finalise a strategy for investing . Obviously , investing is a very complicated sector and requires thorough analysis and everyone ’s investing style differs . As the group lead , the first tool I used to solve this problem of differing opinions was visualisation . A visual representation of each of our methods and knowledge is the best way to identify the common elements , unique elements and damaging elements . Everybody represented their strategies through Venn Diagrams .
Application
I asked each of my team members to make a Venn Diagram for each element of their strategies . Elements of strategies can be represented by words and most strategies have a variety of common words meaning common elements . The strategies can be developed entirely from scratch or be taken from existing strategies .
For the activity , I gave my team members each a piece of paper and colour pencils . This way they could highlight different parts of their strategies . I asked them simple questions that their strategies should follow . 1 ) Is the strategy for the long term or short term ? 2 ) Does this strategy involve a lot of risk , if so how do we mitigate it or compensate for it ? 3)Why should this strategy be chosen , as in , how much profit do you expect from this strategy ? With these basic questions my teammates started drawing their venn diagrams for their respective strategies showing different aspects of their strategy with different colours .
The Venn Diagrams are powerful tools to understand and portray information . In his 1977 book , Exploratory Data Analysis , John W. Tukey writes “ the greatest value of a picture is when it forces us to notice what we never expected to see ” . These diagrams helped us see the flaws in our strategies and the advantages of others . It also helped us see how other aspects of a strategy can be used to develop our own . Our final goal was to make one final strategy .
Insight and Approach After aligning all our strategies and looking at the intersection of the venn diagrams we made a list of common elements . Then we analysed a company based on our strategy to check how accurately it could analyse the company ’s losses or profits . Using deviation graphs we analysed how our predictions matched that of the real company ’s graph . As expected , since we combined all our strategies and took the best parts of them , our strategy was more accurate than each of ours could ever be .
It is amazing how visual representation can explain the most complicated things easily . I have used visual tools before and they have never failed to deliver . It can help bridge many gaps in communication or just in general visual representation is the best way to depict information . It has also helped me understand team coordination .

The problem I am looking to tackle is to do with parenting children in this modern age . I am seeking to uncover insights into what problems / challenges modern parents are facing and uncover truths about what today ’s parents believe about childhood , parenting , and what success looks like . The reason I am scratching at this area is because I have been contemplating opening a daycare / preschool , but am unconvinced that this is the best action . I would like to use design thinking to gather deep insight into some problems modern parents like myself are facing .
As an undergraduate student earning my degree in psychology , and from a background of working in various children ’s programs , I found the research around early childhood , notably the importance of play in early childhood , particularly compelling . Ten years later , as I was fully round with the expectation of my first daughter and feverishly reading parenting books covering topics that ranged from attachment parenting , sleep and sleep training , music for brain development , singing to the baby in the womb , stress levels and the developing baby , sexual abuse and predators , the effects of marital stress on children , language exposure and the brain , vaccinations , childhood disease , illness , SIDS , breastfeeding , bottle feeding and on and on ... and feeling utterly inundated with so much information but having access to very little real life support . The postpartum depression and isolation that I felt following the birth of my little girl casts a dark shadow on what should have been a wonderful time in my life ( sans the utter lack of sleep of the first six months ) . All of the good ideas , and theoretical intentions of what my parenting was going to be went out the window as every day , in the early days , we were just trying to survive the day and keep the little creature alive ! As the years have rolled on and I have been a participant ( parent ) an observer ( navigating the world as a person shepherding small human beings ) and a listener ( interactions with other parents in contact with ) . I have developed my own opinions of what I think some of the problems and needs are , what I would have wanted for myself .
2 . Design Tool : Visualization
The visualization tool from week one , Angela Meyer discusses using pictures and words to diagram and connect ideas . I started with the topic “ healthy child development ” . I first wrote out all the things that I believe create a healthy childhood . Things like : secure attachment , love , nutrition , sleep , music , play , reading stories , connection to nature , stable family life , and connection to a larger community , spiritual practice , movement and running , building , and climbing . I then wrote down things that I think are challenges that parents are facing . Things like : working mothers have limited affordable and flexible childcare options , stay at home mothers are isolated and need community and play groups , high risk children have a lack of access to healthy developmental opportunities which perpetuates a negative cycle of : school to prison pipeline , high school dropout rates and teen pregnancy . Private preschools have to charge high tuition to cover expenses or not keep teachers full time and therefore not providing health insurance and benefits for working Americans , lower job satisfaction , lowers quality of work . Schools and programs are under pressure to introduce academics despite a mountain of research finding that play based programs are the most beneficial to healthy development . I also added a couple of ideas that came to mind as I was writing out all of these things . Ideas like : need for a family community center – what would meet needs in the best way ? What about the elderly , retired , disabled … can they be part of the childcare solution ?
From here I realized that my assumptions about what I believed was important for the development of a healthy child , was just that : MY assumptions based on MY experience and education . I then tried to drill down further and develop open ended questions to use when surveying both parents .
3 . Application
To begin , I decided to use the visualization tool to think more broadly about childhood and differing childhood experiences . I arranged pictures and words in groups . From this activity I began to generate bigger questions with the hopes that these are the questions used in a Survey would get me closer to the data needed to test if my assumptions :
The following questions were generated from the visualization tool :
1 . Children are 2 . The purpose of childhood is 3 . What things make childhood great ? 4 . What things make childhood less than ideal ? 5 . The 3 most important things I want to teach my children are
a. b. c.
6 . A successful adult has what qualities ? 7 . What is the best way to instill these qualities in young people 8 . One of the things that I am good at as a parent is 9 . One thing my parents were good at is : 10 . In a perfect world , I would want _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ for my child 11 . In a perfect world , I would have access to this type of support _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 . In a perfect world I would _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 . My fondest childhood memory is 14 . A memory or situation from childhood that impacted you negatively 15 . If I could start over with my children , what would I do differently
Rate these items on a scale of 1 - 5 on your view of their importance to healthy development . 1 being not important and 5 being very important .
Socialization Sports / team play ( organized ) Play ( unstructured )
Daily rhythm Good nutrition Structure classes
Outdoor play Climbing/ running Religion
Connected to community Pretend play with others Television
Stability Marital / parental happiness Singing / dancing
Nap time Reading Exposure to languages
4 . Insight
The first questions I generated were more narrowly defined , and trying to drive at a point that I thought was important , like play and sleep . However , I realized that that approach to the questions may just get me to answers I am looking for , which could just be confirmation bias . What answers would I get if I were to give a broad question “ what is a child ” for example and leave space for parents to tell me anything that comes to mind .
5 . Approach
I just sent the survey to different parenting groups , play groups , neighborhood groups that I belong to . Depending on the response from that , I may change are add questions . I am very excited to being to see what people respond and what I uncover from there . I am gathering more research and am hoping to curate that information and organize an upcoming brainstorming session .

Challenge & Selection
My work in the organization is to lead Learning and Development and Employee Engagement and Storytelling turns out to be a rather useful and solid tool for me to accomplish my objectives . Storytelling compels others to take notice of what I am training them for and it is a strong tool for generating curiosity and thus facilitating Engagement . An engaged employee is one who understands the purpose of the organization and connects his work objectives with the goals of the company . To instill this understanding in employees , storytelling becomes a very useful tool as it helps them understand things in a better , engaging manner and reinforces the learning that we try to impart . I spend a lot of time interacting with people and training them in various skillsets such as soft skills , functional skills , etc . and more often than not , it becomes absolutely necessary for me to hook the person ’s mind into what I am training them . By converting my messages into compelling stories , my message is delivered in a way that is easy for them to absorb and understand and that makes it all the more effective for people to implement the learning in a practical work context . It also helps them ascertain their goals and deeply understand the whole system wherein training becomes just a bridge for them to cross over to a more knowledgeable state of mind which is aware of the decisions they make and the problems they solve .
Application
I had applied storytelling in various contexts but would share one such instance where I did that recently . There was a workshop which I had taken on instilling our Organizational Core Values in the employees and one of the topics was ‘ Humility and Respect ’ . I knew that if I explain this entire subject with a powerpoint presentation it would sound too preachy and would not deliver the message as effectively as I would ’ve wanted to . Hence , I decided to explain this from the context of a story that I had read once as a teenager . This was the story of Charlie Chaplin and how on his 50th birthday , they had kept competitions across all the counties in England to do an impression of Charlie Chaplin and the best impressionist who appears exactly like Chaplin would win the contest . Mr. Chaplin himself contested from one of the counties , just to play a prank and there were many more who entered the contest . In the end there were 3 people shortlisted for the final round among which one was the real Chaplin . But when they announced the winner , it was no Mr. Chaplin himself but another person and it was shocking to Mr. Chaplin that somebody can do my impression better than myself . This story was told in a more engaging format to all and the moral of this story was to drive the fact that we can not ever think we are the best and there is always someone who could be better than us and we must remain humble and grounded at all times . The tool was applied effectively to facilitate employees ’ understanding of the subject at hand and facilitated their learning .
Insight & Approach
The story was received really well by employees and it was clearly impactful as they mentioned how they understood things more clearly in their feedback post the training . It was quite insightful for me as well as I understood that storytelling can actually create such a huge impact in help employees learn values in a more engaging manner and the engagement aspect was at its peak during this exercise .
This course made me look at design thinking with a whole new perspective and although I had used it before , it was randomized and not structured . The entire approach of What is , What if , What wows and What works gives a clear structure to the entire thinking approach thus leading us to do things in a more concrete manner and not in a random way .
This knowledge has really helped me in my Learning and Development career and would continue to open up different possibilities in the future .

This course made me look at design thinking with a whole new perspective and although I had used it before , it was randomized and not structured . The entire approach of What is , What if , What wows and What works gives a clear structure to the entire thinking approach thus leading us to do things in a more concrete manner and not in a random way .
This knowledge has really helped me in my Learning and Development career and would continue to open up different possibilities in the future .

As well , in our conversations , we discussed how we could continuously improve on our design for future teams , allowing them to be flexible enough to address their unique situations , level of intensity and immediacy . What I had to address was the following : The team would be small . Having them located in the same building as the rest of the staff at Headquarters was very distracting . The key decision- makers on the team had to be ‘ present ’ , well - rested and well - supported . In past task force teams , we realized the 15 % of the team did 85 % of the critical work ; the rest of the team being support systems and fact and information finders to support that core group . If any of the team burned out , it would leave a gap in the information flow and seriously affect the work and short time lines to move people on the field . We had to look at where they were physically located , whether we have one team or multiple , smaller teams , keep in mind how resilient the team members were ( test for that ) and how the information and decisions were disseminated . Where the troops were located had a direct bearing on how quickly the decision had to be made and implicated people ’s lives . We had a very short time frame to get this team up and running and make sure it was the best team design possible . Even though we had limited time , did n’t mean we could n’t constantly tweak how we did things and test approaches as the team did their jobs . Selection The tool I decided to use was Mind Mapping ( Video Week 3 ) . I thought this would not only be the best tool to capture all moving parts so to speak , but to create a common understanding of the current reality , and address what was true in the moment as well as the multiple moving parts that would change situationally . The Mind Mapping approach allowed for constant tweaking and exploration . The basis of this tool that I used , also invited us to continuously live in the questions . Embedded within this selection was a Visualization diagram ( Video Week 1 ) ; a tool I created ( attached ) to form a picture in their minds , one of movement and fluidity . We wanted this to be an ongoing process . I call this the Dance of Change ™ illustration .
Application We identified a long hallway outside the team ’s offices to create the map and covered it with white board sheets . At intervals down the long hallway were white board markers where people could stop , reflect on what was in front of them and add their insights and input . We wanted the area to be a free flow area that was n’t booked up with meetings and would be available for addition and reflection . There was no right or wrong addition . Everyone ’s input ( from the team , and their advisors ) was invited . What was critically important for us was to get everything possible out on that white board wall , so we could see how complex this was and to have the ability to address certain situations quickly and responsively . A great part of this was realizing we had to constantly ask the same questions to tweak and strengthen the entire ‘ system ’ . We started off with a map I created to get the conversation and mapping started . We decided to meet a minimum of two to three times a week for two weeks to discuss how the mapping process revealed priorities that had to be addressed as well as ongoing team design that would benefit future task forces . By the end of that period , the wall was covered with many moving parts to flush out the critical criteria of what would make a strong , healthy and resilient team as well as their support systems . At that point we convened to decide what priorities we would address to get moving and chose three to test . Insight What occurred for me was that a linear approach would never work in this critical , fast - paced environment . Using the Visualization illustration ensured that the What ’s True piece ( similar to the What is ) revealed what everyone knew to be true at that time . It was the status quo .
Looking at What ’s Needed identified gaps and what we were n’t aware of or paying attention to . The What ’s Available determined what resources i.e. time , people , resources etc . were available so we could act sooner than later which , in turn , changed the What ’s True piece and so on . Living in those questions and bouncing back and forth between them , allowed us all to do more of the “ ’ What If ’ we approached things in ‘ this way ’ or ‘ first ? ” conversation ” . Keeping us in the questions allowed for expansive conversation and be able to test various approaches to find the best solution for this design criteria . It also eliminated the , “ We ca n’t do this ” response and kept the conversation generative . Approach An alternate approach would be to condense the process into one day ; booking a large space to map out all moving parts , cluster the ones that were similar and look at what emerged in the process . Once we would do this , identify the themes , look at what we could test in a team design within a certain period . This would address immediacy and the short timeline we had available to us . As it was n’t a priority , we would address ongoing , future task forces separately . With this option we would use Mind Mapping exclusively to shorten the process , the consultation and reduce options so we could test earlier . Insight 2 Using Design Thinking is a brilliant way to give everyone a voice . It also elevated levels of engagement and accountability . In my opinion , one of the best parts of this approach is shifting a solution - based conversation to one of curiosity and learning . Testing ideas helped other emerge and so on .

Paola Romano
Challenge & Selection I
I work as leader of an information technology team , training adults . I have a team of young instructors who are very technologically skilled . On many occasions , I have used storytelling as a way of bringing technology to be used during the day - to - day life of our students , who must use it in their daily professional work .
Many of our students are employees in large companies with middle and senior management positions , who are dealing with the way they work through new technological platforms .
When it is working with young teachers and students are sometimes twice their ages , students feel fear of learning new technologies , the use of storytelling facilitates the creation of bonds of trust and empathy .
Application
With groups of older students , small groups , usually they do not want to participate or ask questions about the use of Google Workspace applications , for example , I tell the story of a manager of a company in which we carry out a training plan for the use of these technological tools .
The manager was an older man from middle management who in the class on using Workspace showed a negative position regarding the use of these office applications , did not perform the exercises and was always on the defensive .
After the group training , he approached the trainers ' room and he asked for help to explain the basic concepts of using Workspace . I spoke to him and noticed that his fear was being vulnerable to other managers if he asked questions . In his words , being the oldest in the company , he was a benchmark for others and because he was the oldest , technology was not his strong point .
In order to achieve empathy and the adults decrease his fears about learning , the use of a new technology , I told him my own story : A person with whom for 20 years I had handled different office automation applications and 4 years ago when he entered the start up where he worked They gave me a couple of hours of training and told me " well for tomorrow we need you to build a presentation but it ca n't be in powerpoint , you must use Google slides , if you have any questions look for the answers on the internet or ask your colleagues " . At first I had a lot of fears about whether I would be able to learn as fast as the rest of the people in the office ( largely millennials ) . Over time I have discovered that it is worth making a
mistake at the beginning , asking others and using self - learning resources to adapt to the use of new technologies .
Being open minded to learn keeps us encouraged in organizations and a leader who is capable of learning and accompanying the learning of the people in his charge is highly appreciated by his work team .
With this story I managed to calm down this manager and agree that one of the young coaches will explain the basics of using Workspace to answer his questions .
As time went by , this manager became enthusiastic about collaborative work with Workspace and even took his colleagues to the teachers ' lounge and encouraged them to seek the answers to their questions about the technology platform .
Insight & Approach
With the use of stories like these , my team 's coaches and I have made several advances in training on the utilization of information technology in organizations , including :
● Breaking down the resistance to change produced by the use of
technology among old people .
● Establish a climate of openness and empathy for the questions of those attending the training sessions .
● Show with examples how we can all work on our self - learning .
● Change the perspective of error in learning as an opportunity to advance knowledge .
In summary , the use of a tool such as Storytelling has facilitated the work of trainers and has allowed an easier approach to technology by our students .

Challenge
A new store of electronic devices has recently opened in a tourist area in El Valle de Anton , Panama . The owner has named it : Novedades y Electronica Jerusalen as he is a believer in Christ , he wants to combine those two themes , electronics and novelties in a " peaceful " environment as the area where he is located a mountain area .
By some insights compiled by the owner , have been determined that as they 're just opening , they need to get into “ the locals " market as the response to multimedia devices need for the online classes , and courses and remote job happening at home due to the pandemic situation . They are an audience from University students to professionals until 40 years old . Another second target to catch the attention is the touristic target which represents from 10 to 15 % of the clients , by using some foreign language words , so they get interested by this variation , something no so often seen in this area .
Selection
Before a beginner meeting to unveil some other important questions to the owner about the direction that he wants to apply to the business , I ’ve reviewed the information captured in previous secondary research and choose the option of making a learning launch because is a kind of experiments meant to quickly and easily test an idea .
Application
For the making of the learning launch , we have begun with the procedure of designing the experiments applying some visualization tool in order to make the stakeholders understand where we are , what our reality as an individual business is , and how I see it in order to be more connected to each other .
To begin with the first learning launch , we drive the experiment by the hypothesis of the persona . Our “ persona in pain ” is a Mother , professional , could be a teacher , that does n’t have a place to shop high - end multimedia dispositive in her town for her teaching and learning classes and who also sometimes lends those devices to her two children for them to receive its online classes . So the business come to offer that equipment easy to get , with high quality and getable in small payments . Compared to the competition that offers low end and just in cash .
With these points of interest in mind , we proceed to go to the place , act like a concierge with the goal to assess the actual mindset of the current clients , add cellphones numbers in order to add them to our testing social media group . We have described the actual store location and what 's surrounding it , have made some observation , asked questions to the locals by speaking about the economic and social reality just to have an idea of the population mindset . Having that information we make a mini mind - mapping session to show it to the vendor , the owner , and the social media manager in order to get an understanding of what was found in the secondary research and the little experiments ; all of these , in small scale due to the size of the business .
In a second learning launch , we were looking for knowing how local people will react to our advertising , so we design some graphic material , launch some advertising on social media , send it to a few contacts , asked for questions and revisit the information . Then we make research on non - local people but Panamanians to see their perspective . Before that , we sent the chosen advertising to local groups of the target audience and track how they react .
In the third session , we were looking for the interrelation of the store with its surrounding area so we went to the store again to see more forgotten details , ask for data of sells from the concierge and apply the concept of IBM fairs : Entering , Physical space , and the Interaction in order to surface some assumptions and conclusions .
Insight
By getting the most of our observation , questions , and interaction with the clients and looking for some non- conscious behavior we get to know that it is important to them to also have a place for interaction The way that they are received by the advisor in the store represents an important point to pay attention not just personally but by social media .
The company can afford in the company of other owners fixings in the structure of the building to get a more intuitive walking path and change the building more to a “ shopping center look ” that allows families to get ice cream , eat dinner , test some devices , listen to some music and look for interesting souvenirs with the goal of creating planned spontaneity and comfort to buy there .
Approach
By some information received , there is a necessity of investment in the touristic area . Other business in the plaza needs to be more visible and interconnected to its environment as the Afterscool itself . As it is an ongoing process to be working with the environment where the business is , it looks interesting to recommend more relation with community bureaus , looking forward to scaling all the data gathered .
We also could create new experiments in the future by testing advertising material and introducing new products to be tested .

Insight : When I started this course , all I knew was that the word entrepreneur means a business person who takes responsibility for the company . I did n’t even know that a subject like this even exists . I was bored at the beginning but slowly started liking it because of the engaging examples . One day , Sushant was teaching how people start their start - ups . To back that , he explained how two students invented coffee bars as a solution to have coffee wherever they want . I was astonished to learn how a simple idea could cause an innovation . My interest in this course has never dulled down after that . The other day we had a breakout session during the lecture . In that session , we were asked to give a two - minute talk about an Indian company . In the beginning , I had stage fear but have gotten rid of it with the help of the presentations we had to give weekly . It also made me confident and mentally stable . I was more invested in the course because of these sessions . The activities are not only fun but also encourage to think out of the box . Day by day , I learned new things . This knowledge is beneficial in the future if I want to become an entrepreneur and start a business properly . Challenge : There is a detailed steps breakup of how to discover one 's self through entrepreneurship . In step one , it helped me to know about my originality , unique strengths , and abilities . In step two to four , it helped me to understand how to manage a team . Through the team project , I learned how to manage people . It also helped me to assess people and their abilities . By this , I can utilize my resources to get maximum productivity . I got a proper idea of how a group of people or an individual can solve a problem and how this solution can grow into a successful company . When I did n’t know much about entrepreneurship , I thought that starting a company is an easy task and we just need investors . But I learned that starting a business needs much more than financial support . It requires an immense amount of dedication and vision towards the goal . Adding to that , it involves a lot of risks . Because it can be a Go or No - Go situation . So , I realized that an entrepreneur has to be brave enough to face the hurdles that come along his way to achieve success . Approach :
I have perceived my ethics and core values . This course broadened my thinking and inspired me to be a better self . If it were n't for this course , I would n't have discovered myself in this way ever .

CHALLENGE Design thinking is a well - defined approach to generate and experiment with ideas in an Innovation driven organization . Working in such organization with a user centric design approach , requires continuous innovation for new business exploration as well as to improve existing products designs . I ’m a design and innovation lead from such organization focusing on consumer electronics . I ’m a member of new business exploration and my / our challenge is to improve the functionality of a certain product segment by conducting ideation workshops across cross - functional teams .
The scope of the workshop is to generate ideas on a specific product segment based on themes such as ( i)Multi - functional usage ; ( ii ) Performance improvement ; ( iii)Weight and Size reduction ; respectively . Then select the top 2 ideas from each themes for detailed conceptual designing and pitch the concepts to top management team of our organization .
SELECTION Since the idea generation process involves various insights from various stake holders , the design thinking tools such as Visualization , Brainstorming and Mind mapping were applied . These tools were thought to help our stake holders to convey their imagination in a pictorial / graphical form and guide them to find patterns and insights from their ideas . As we know , Visualization is a tool where a pictorial or graphical form helps us clearly understand the idea / insight rather in a verbal / written form . Whereas , Brainstorming allows the person to map his experience and learning to generate ideas for a certain use case . And mind mapping allows to identify patterns & insights in available data .
APPLICATION For this ideation workshop , a total of 18 people from cross - functions were teamed into 3 consisting of various age groups and work experience . All the 18 people were familiar with the product segment chosen . Then , each team is allocated a theme as mentioned earlier and they were requested to brainstorm their ideas based on allocated theme . Each person of the team were requested to provide at least 5 ideas , Write / Picture them on sticky notes and stick them on respective walls provided . 20 minutes were given for brainstorming their ideas and post them on the wall .
As a next activity , with a pool of ideas on the wall , each group were requested to find for any insights / patterns between their ideas and group them based on certain aspects . Each team members of the group discussed their ideas within themselves and came up with a conclusive classification . Then we went through a sharing session of all the ideas from each team with a question / answer session . The entire session went about 30 minutes explaining their insights and their idea classification approach .
For the next activity , each team were requested to select top 2 ideas and create a graphic picture / representation of the concept in a poster size along with a justification of ‘ Why / How it works ? ’ ; ‘ What problem it solves ? ’ ; Challenges ? ; This activity went through about 15 minutes followed by a presentation session by each team . As the teams presented their concepts with visual designs and justification , I / we began recording the insights from each group .
Once the session is completed , we digitized the top 2 ideas from of each team and compiled the shared insights to a concept proposals for pitching it to our management team .
INSIGHT & APPROACH The outcome of this ideation workshop was obtaining a refined Concept with a shared insights from various stake holders of various functions . The team members had a collaborative approach to identify a problem and generate a valuable idea . The Visualization of ideas presented by each team helped everyone to picturize the concept in the same perspective of the presenter . The team members were sportive in their brainstorming sessions , sharing their individual insights by uncovering the pattern and connections between other ideas . This clearly demonstrates their mind mapping approach . Thus , the design thinking tools that we used for this ideation workshop had a positive outcome with a valuable concept being generated .
Overall , it is essential for any innovation workshop to have a design thinking process and utilize the respective tools in a valuable way . We also decided to include Story telling tool from our next workshop to pitch the concepts in an attractive way !

Challenge & Selection
The tool I selected is Visualization . I use this approach often with our students , who are still in the initial learning stage . I have used many times the subcategory of visualization which are known as charts , graphs , various tree diagrams to convert the textual form or the various geographical or demographic and statistical aspects in visualized form . Sometimes there is hurry of conducting meetings or the listener or the speaker has a less time to communicate or … the speaker or the presenter sometimes gets short on his vocabulary … here the visuals a play a major role . Visualization is there in work since the stone age man existed , rather I would say Visualization was the primary language because visualization was primarily observed as the paintings carved in the caves of stone age man , the stone age people used to communicate through those drawn paintings . They conveyed their feelings ; they conveyed the happened incidents etc and if you see in this 21st century we are using pie charts , graphs , tree diagram , not only in education industry but also everywhere else .
The conditions we faced during covid pandemic situation … teachers , company meetings used this visualization component on a large scale , we can say power point presentation is one of the tiny components of visualization through those presentations the employees , students were able to grasp the information and memorize it very quickly as well as the teachers and project managers were quickly able to display or convey the thought process behind the lecture or sessions or meetings .
Application
Charts- The main functions of a chart are to display data and invite further exploration of a topic . Charts are used in situations where a simple table wo n't adequately demonstrate important relationships or patterns between data points .
Graphs - Graphs are a common method to visually illustrate relationships in the data . The purpose of a graph is to present data that are too numerous or complicated to be described adequately in the text and in less space .
Tree Diagram - A tree diagram is a tool in the fields of general mathematics , probability , and statistics that helps calculate the number of possible outcomes of an event or problem , and to cite those potential outcomes in an organized way .
GIFs - GIFs lighten the tone of your presentation and are a useful tool for quickly engaging ( or re- engaging ) your viewers . They ’re a great way to add humour in an otherwise mundane piece of content , give instructions in a product or process , and so much more .
Animation - Animated videos , images , or words grab your viewer ’s attention much more effectively than a still or text - only image . Another power of animation is its capability to make complex ideas simple and relatable to any viewer who comes across it .
Images - You’ve heard that a picture is worth a thousand words . If you can use one to visualize your point , do it .
Infographics - Infographics offer complex information or statistics in an easy - to - digest , impactful way . Charts and graphs help the viewer comprehend data quickly , in a way that ’s much simpler than explaining with words .
Insight & Approach
The lessons learned from this “ Designed thinking for innovation “ I would like to discuss here –
A visualization approach increase communication , increase critical thinking , and provides analytical approach to various problems . ... The results also shows that the visualization motivates students to learn , making them more cooperative and developing their skills for critical approach . Though the approach is broad in nature , and it not only include education sector as well as it helps a lot in other sectors also which are industries , pharma , politics , business strategies , it also simply helps to get understood the upcoming financial policies . Visualization is a tool which makes things easy for the less educated as well as educated people to understand the matter in a gist . And if we recollect the facts or reviews from the people “ The Visuals are remembered for long time … than a reading comprehension ” .

By Fofa Bravo
I have selected visualization design tool for the submission of my assignment .
CHALLENGE
The challenge is to come up with an idea to conduct a market research survey for a newly launched product . The product , being a flagship product of one of the world ’s leading corporation , is to be launched an year later . The market research is to be done on how to launch the product in the market .
SELECTION
For this challenge , I select VISUALIZATION design tool .
The visualization is a really 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 actually enacting a different kind of problem solving that has to bring in more than just logic . We 're actually doing extrapolation . We 're doing inductive reasoning . We 're thinking about possibilities that we have n't yet seen . So that kind of imaginative work really has to be brought out by exercising and understanding that right side of our brain . So getting in the habit of doing visualization is actually a way of cultivating that side of our brain work . Visualization is really important . For the process of design because it 's actually a way of unlocking a different part of brain .
APPLICATION
The visualization tool is a powerful tool . It is the perfect tool to be used in such situation .
New ideas for products and services are conceived every day — yet many of them fail because they were n’t properly introduced to the market . Market research helps ensure both that the product launch will hit the ‘ right buttons ’ in the consumer , and ensures that the product idea itself addresses the ( often unspoken ) desires of the customer .
Market research often reveals counter intuitive facts about your market , even if you think you are already well acquainted with it . For example , research has shown that ‘ snacks ’ are often used as a meal substitute , and that therefore successful confectionery - type snack products tend to be more ‘ foody ’ than one might expect : ingredients like cereal , peanuts , biscuits , and fruit which help break up the overall chocolate are very well received by customers .
Similarly , the tool visualization helped me know how to effectively launch this xyz flagship product of this giant corporation .
INSIGHT
Using design visualization tool allowed me to think in a nonverbal way . It allowed me to access parts of brain , parts of creativity , that I might not normally be using in the course of conversation . Most people will tell you , especially in the business world , that they are not artistic and they can not draw . Visualization is n't really about drawing , though . It 's actually about visual thinking , and we all do it . What I 've seen is that through practice , you can actually get better and better at doing it . Visualization is anything from the things we write on a chalkboard or a whiteboard . To the images that we create in a PowerPoint presentation , to photography , video . It 's basically anything that takes us beyond just
using words or language alone . Things like color . Things like symbols for example . If you 're looking at logos and the way that companies represent the , represent themselves as a brand . Those are all ways to enact a more visual understanding . When we 're talking and we 're verbalizing things we see things internally , but we may all be understanding the words in a slightly different way . The beauty of using visualization is that we can tap into a single picture . 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 . The , the more likely you are to achieve a sense of agreement and consensus with people , the more you are likely to draw out conversation . In an environment where your , your ability to , to get things done and to solve problems is dependent on other people being able to understand you and align their ideas with yours .
APPROACH
Storytelling would be the approach if I had the chance to solve this challenge differently . I think what storytelling does for leaders in terms of strategy , is it makes it simple . It makes it relate - able , It gives strategy color , and life In character and plot . And it , allows the line worker , working your manufacturing unit to vice president running marketing to have the same understanding of what we 're trying to do . And so for me , those are two reasons , and there 's a number more about why storytelling is an essential tool for leaders to become competent in and experts in as they move forward .
So , going with the storytelling way , it would have made a different and simpler solution .

The Paraguay Dilemma
Challenge : the submission provides a detailed description of the authors challenge including all
relevant information The challenge I selected is offering the low income population of Paraguay some insurance
products for them to buy using digital means so they can obtain a safety net to protect
themselves and avoid falling into extreme poverty in case they suffer a calamity that can
affect their already struggling finances .
The hypothesis we developed is that the low income population of Paraguay most of whom do
not have any type of insurance would buy it if it was easy for them to understand and to buy ,
if presented to them thru the use of technology .
Paraguay has a total population of about 7 million inhabitants , out of which 3,5 million are in
the 18 – 65 age range and are subject of coverage to insurance companies ; the financial
market has issued about 1.8 million credit cards , there are about 7 million mobile phones ,
and 2.5 million electronic wallets supported by mobile technology .
The health care system consists of prepaid medicine ( insurance ) , a social security system that
provides health care if you are registered and eligible , and a free public system that has poor
service and low quality .
The insurance market offers only traditional health insurance , most of its customers receive
insurance as a benefit from their employers ( public and private sector ) , and the general
public perception is that insurance is good only for rich people and it is something very
expensive .
In other words this is an insuretech startup that wants to learn with its customers what is it
that they are interested in , how they would buy and how and how much would they pay .
Selection : the submission provides a detailed description of the selected tool including relevant
information , what it is and why the author selected it for this challenge including any video
lecture references )
The learning launch is the tool that enabled us to learn while engaging with our potential
customers in real interactions ; we were able to perform several experiments where we
presented the products in different ways in order to learn about the interest of the Paraguayan
population to buy insurance products online . Even though we were able to land sales , of
upmost importance was the findings and lessons learned with the information gathered from
the customer interaction with the product online ; the importance of the learning lessons
coming out of these experiments are relevant to proving our hypothesis as told by Jeanne
Liedtka in Designing for Growth . Application The submission provides a detailed description of applying the selected tool
including all relevant information , what the author did and how the tool was applied The first experiment we performed was focused in the introduction of two new insurance
products into the market . In particular the products offered were a cancer indemnity product
and a hospital cash indemnity product ; the customers were prompted to visit the domain that
hosted the products to navigate in it , and if interested to buy the product . A TV advertising
campaign was launched and the public immediately started to visit the website ; traffic was
correlated to the adds coming up in their TV ’s , people were using their mobile phones – not
computers and very few used tablets - to visit the website and learn about the products and its
benefits . In this version of the website the customer had to make the selection of sum insured
to buy or the product mix . A second learning launch presented a new website version where the product was already
selected for the customer and they only had to make the decision of how much they were
willing to pay for it . In this new version of the website the bounce rate was much lower and
many more potential customers navigated thru the complete acquisition process . Insight the submission provides a detailed description of the insight gained by including some
information how an insight affected the authors thinking about his challenge and design
thinking more broadly First of all the implementation of the learning launch tool validated our hypothesis , the low
income population of Paraguay is interested in buying insurance products and is willing to use
technology to buy it ; it also helped the team behind the project better understand the
technology which is in the hands of our potential customers , the way they behave and what
they are most interested in . It also made us understand that they look after their disposable
income and prefer short term coverage to annual policies so they do n’t have to make large cash
disbursements due to the fact that they live they by day and their income is very limited . Approach Our business model , an insuretech , which is bringing insurance products to the low income
population is now frequently using Design Thinking tools as part of its regular business
process ; insuretech is new in Latin America and insurance penetration is low so there is not
enough data for the model to rely on and as a consequence we need to take a different
approach to gain insights and learn from our customers in the fastest possible way at the
lowest possible cost . This approach should enable us to successfully roll out more products in
the near future .

I like to tell story which I selected from the given options . I work as a LIC agent . I come
in contact with various peoples . i tell them about the advantages of having a LIC policy I also help them to insure their life with a policy so if in case something happens their family members can have some backup to assist them financially . With my clients I share stories of my life in order to help them visualize about the policy , 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 with which if he / she can start paying premiums they can get a huge sum in certain year when they can no longer work as energetic as before . By taking their feedback I can give awareness to the current generation or youth . Application
In discussing about a policy with a client , I was trying to explain to them the benefits of
taking a policy , policy is not a waste or more late investment . some banks may offer interest more than LIC offer . Also investing money og market offers a greater profit but the LIC policy is like even if you do n’t pay the last premium it will offer or sanction the amount it is told or matured making it reliable on peoples which can yield more profitonly if the person dies . Do n’t think it in that way it is just a financial backup for your family that you will be giving to your family after you die .
Insight & Approach
Well , wow , that was an eye - opener . Some peoples would n’t want to makes policies so
after I tell them about the future and what s the pros and cons of having or not having one by story telling about themselves imagining a future them without a policy they ( means clients ) understand the necessatiy of the having a policy and starts doing the policy . So I told this story to the client , and I think it had a big impact on people there . The policies are being made by each individual that I narrated the story to . So I felt the same “ Sometimes a little story can do a lot of good ” .

The first tool I used was the tool of Storytelling .
I used the tool to get insight into users , build empathy , and reach users emotionally . Create personas
to represent target users and add conflict to stories that reflect their user journeys and problems .
Crafting stories help better understand what solution for users is more suitable .
Application
I started by creating user personas defining their main challenges . As a plot , I used the journey of
how user persona experience product and challenges user - facing and how they hope that your
product is the solution .
Story setting complements two main elements — time and location . During the process , I needed to
understand when and where users need the product to create good user - story .
Insight & Approach
What I learned by conducting this exercise , with several scenarios , is that it is important to write
good storytelling to communicate with the team and grow empathy for the users .
Storytelling has lots of benefits for a business — it enhances engagement , improves user experience ,
helps you speak to users , and create something that makes your users ’ life easier and delightful . The
true beauty of a great design is not on the outside , it lies within the solution that the product
provides .

Our team is responsible for coordinating the sustainability activities for the bank . This includes a monthly assessment of energy and other resource utilization across all branches . In the past we have used worksheets sheets to conduct the assessment bankwide and we found out that it was time consuming as worksheets were sent back and forth between the branches and our team . We tried to eliminate this by using online worksheets which helped to improve collaboration and also eliminated having to exchange emails with the worksheets attached . Despite this effort , we still found out that the process was not as effective as such we tried to find another way of carrying out these assessments and explored the use of other available tools as we did not have a budget to acquire a software .
Having gone through the various design thinking tools , the team chose to use the learning launch tool to approach the resource efficiency challenge . With this tool we were able to try out available applications to see how we can use them for this assessment by trying it out on a a sample of branches to see how it works and also find out required improvements through feedback from the selected branches to try out the new approach .
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 ) .
The team researched on available forms - creation and data - gathering tool that can help to streamline the resource efficiency processes . We eventually choose a tool that was well - suited for almost anyone who needs to design and deploy form solutions . The solution is simple enough to use as sophisticated forms that can quickly and accurately gather information that meets our resource efficiency measurement needs . With the help of our IT team we were able to integrate it to a platform already in use and this opened up a new world of possibilities for our electronic form requirements .
1 . 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 ) .
2 . Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you
selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why .

Mind Mapping Tool
Challenge & Selection
I work in a large technology company . We ’re looking for a new Training Management tool instead of the existing tool which currently does not meet the organization ’s needs . The tool involves many stakeholders from different groups and functions .
Over the past year , many complaints have been made regarding the current tools issues ( bugs ) , and mainly lack of compliance to today ’s training requirements . People are not happy with the current solution , and hope for a better one as soon as possible . We need to address the needs of the trainees , their managers , content managers and information system personnel . Another business requirement is business intelligence , or analysis of the data .
I think a mind mapping exercise would bring together the different requirements , expectations , experiences , pains and needs of the various populations which use the tool . We need to address both the frontend and backend business processes . Leading such a journey where all participants define their needs , and share with others , would help improve the design of the new system and provide a more wholesome business solution .
Application
I will create a list of people of each stakeholder group :
Employees ( Trainees )
Managers of trainees
Content managers ( connect experts who define the courses / tasks )
Executives ( managers who pull the data and need to get insights about progress , problem areas etc . )
Information system professionals ( developers , project managers , quality assurance , integrators )
I will conduct a session to explain all stakeholders , what is required from them in the mapping ( analysis ) process . I would show an example of a mapping of another process / system , so the mapping concept and exercise is clear , but people are not “ fixed ” ( limited to ) on the exact items in the sample .
Then , I will schedule a session ( ~3 hours ) , where each group meets and internally goes over each participant ’s mappings . For example : all the content managers meet , and go over each mapping . The deliverable of this session is to create 1 map of all the agreed items all the content managers think may be relevant ( they do n’t have to agree on everything . Items would be discussed later with the other teams ) . The IT professionals meet as a separate group , and provide a map of their own .
The next step would be to create mixed groups , where each participant “ advocates ” for the needs and views of his base group . The final step is when all groups meet in one room and conduct a discussion
Page 2 of 2
about all the inputs and insights which were revealed in the prior meetings . The deliverable is a set of high - level requirements which encompasses and supports all major needs of all stakeholder groups .
Insight & Approach
The process which brings all stakeholders together to a discussion , where issues and new ideas surface , is crucial to the success of any large scale project ( software or not ) . Sharing information , understanding others ’ point of views and needs are a must . Sharing information visually is a powerful tool and is intuitive and easy to grasp . Marking clearly the different entities , different flows of information , different needs of showing / collecting / analyzing the data is very helpful for every stakeholder to understand his / her own needs , and their relationships to the needs of other stakeholders , which them may not even be aware of . ( For example , the way the data is defined in the database would make it easy or difficult to pull later for analysis purposes ) .
In terms of improvement in the future , a possible variation of the process would be to shorten it , by skipping the 2nd step where all stakeholders of the same domain meet . The main step would now only be mixed groups ( one person from each stakeholder group ) . This method might result in more openness to ideas and concepts of others , instead of arriving ready with strong positions after completing the meeting of each stakeholder group separately .

I would show an example of a mapping of another process / system , so the mapping concept and exercise is clear , but people are not “ fixed ” ( limited to ) on the exact items in the sample .
Then , I will schedule a session ( ~3 hours ) , where each group meets and internally goes over each participant ’s mappings . For example : all the content managers meet , and go over each mapping . The deliverable of this session is to create 1 map of all the agreed items all the content managers think may be relevant ( they do n’t have to agree on everything . Items would be discussed later with the other teams ) . The IT professionals meet as a separate group , and provide a map of their own .
The next step would be to create mixed groups , where each participant “ advocates ” for the needs and views of his base group . The final step is when all groups meet in one room and conduct a discussion

about all the inputs and insights which were revealed in the prior meetings . The deliverable is a set of high - level requirements which encompasses and supports all major needs of all stakeholder groups .
Insight & Approach
The process which brings all stakeholders together to a discussion , where issues and new ideas surface , is crucial to the success of any large scale project ( software or not ) . Sharing information , understanding others ’ point of views and needs are a must . Sharing information visually is a powerful tool and is intuitive and easy to grasp . Marking clearly the different entities , different flows of information , different needs of showing / collecting / analyzing the data is very helpful for every stakeholder to understand his / her own needs , and their relationships to the needs of other stakeholders , which them may not even be aware of . ( For example , the way the data is defined in the database would make it easy or difficult to pull later for analysis purposes ) .
In terms of improvement in the future , a possible variation of the process would be to shorten it , by skipping the 2nd step where all stakeholders of the same domain meet . The main step would now only be mixed groups ( one person from each stakeholder group ) . This method might result in more openness to ideas and concepts of others , instead of arriving ready with strong positions after completing the meeting of each stakeholder group separately .

Background :
During this COVID-19 lockdown , it is obvious to avoid touch things by bare hands and maintaining hygiene of washing hands frequently . With the help of Design thinking , during this lockdown , I came out with an innovative solution for my office and home , to open the doors by a foot .
Challenge & Selection :
The first tool I used was the tool of Visualization , or Visual Thinking , to achieve a common understanding of a problem among the group of users at home and my office before attempting to identify and define possible solutions to the problem . I use this approach often to find solutions to various problems in day to day activities . Starting with innovations to modernize and invent new product quality improvements and new products for business requirements .
I have used the technique of foot operated door opening using visualization of a problem with a set of questions or prompts for discussion to allow my family members to learn from each other in the process of defining the scope , boundaries , key elements , and relationships between elements to consider when identifying pain points and opportunities for improvements or solutions .
Application :
In a scenario where a person walks in home from outside , he or she uses hands to open the door . Assuming his / her hands are not safe to easily open the door handle . What to do ? Perhaps , if the door is already unlocked , they could press foot pedal under the door to open the door . This is a spectacularly simple idea that for a number of people could be helpful . And no interface required !
If appropriate to the situation , the concept can be integrated with the mobile device through an appropriate mobile app , currently , the idea is working manually and it is a simple idea and can be replicated across . The template I often start with a white board and post - it or sticky notes & posters to put down various ideas and solution and also has a column on the left of the board to identify users . The post it is simple , and templates using simple shapes and icons available on the Internet .
For the activity , I will divide the stakeholders into groups of 2 - 3 participants each representing a different area of interest . Each group receives a poster - size copy of the straw man graphic that they can write on directly , or use sticky notes to make comments . I give them two - three questions to answer , such as :
1 ) What is the current method of operation and the key elements that are missing from the new idea ?
2 ) What would you change about the idea to make it more effective for the problem ?
3 ) What key insights do you have about the relationships between the objects the problem ?
I give them approximately 30 minutes to discuss the questions and mark up the graphic . Then I will ask each group to report their answers to those three questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their poster . As each group reports out , I record similarities of each team member of the group , and then additional insights that come from the group discussion .
After the session , I started mapping down each group ’s ideas to create a view that combines the shared and new insights from the group discussion , and then created a revised graphic that incorporates their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group .
Insight & Approach :
What I have learned from conducting this exercise with group of people is that while the graphic – especially the revised graphic that incorporates everyone ’s feedback – is important for reinforcing their understanding of the problem they are working to solve , the more valuable aspect of the activity is the shared insights and shared learning that occurs while they are working to define their problem scope . The graphic gives the diverse group of stakeholders a focal point for discussion that allows them to share their perspectives and develop insights into potential root causes of their problems . While they could create the graphic from a blank slate in a collaborative manner , starting with a straw man jump starts the conversation for them . They can quickly identify where they are in the graphic – or if they are missing – and can more quickly gain new insights . They can also identify variables in the problem space – that is , it helps them to identify what they do n’t know , in what areas they need to obtain information or data to provide the values for the variables .
Since I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning , next time I would use the visualization activity as a starting point for a series of design thinking activities . Then the revised graphic that incorporates their combined feedback can serve as a reference tool throughout the remainder of their work .

Challenge : I work in a training company that offers quality products to produce a transformational effect in the lives of customers . One of the keys to this success is personalized and continuous attention , which enhances the intellectual and functional habits of those who choose our products . In recent years , however , we were seeing a fall of requests and difficulties for personalized and continuous attention , the axis of which we put on the demand for face - to - face activities . For a few months now I have been trying to get into the lives of our customers to understand their difficulties and propose a solution that would provide digital training modules , in addition to the traditional in- person activities . When discussing my idea with the other members of the management board , however , I could not easily make them see the importance of applying new solutions and doing so as soon as possible .
The decisive opportunity came to me when the COVID-19 pandemic forced us to improve our digital platforms and diversify our training products . The result was spectacular : visits to our website soared from tens of thousands to 6 million . Growth from February to May was exponential : 2,739,000 in March , 3,292,000 in April , 6,630,000 in May .
Selection and Application : Now I had the appropriate context to return to my colleagues and boldly present the need for our company to get onboard the digital revolution bandwagon . I needed them to visualize three important factors : the tension between customer needs and the products we currently offer ; the opportunity for new business ventures that digital modalities would open up , and complete fidelity to the core mission and values of our company . which seeks a transformational training of the individual person . This will not be lost but rather maintained and enhanced through telematic or virtual modalities that complement the in - person training .
Lucas Saldivar 's interview on Storytelling gave me the key to choosing the right tool : storytelling can be strategic . Starting from relevant data or concepts , you can , give life , color and narrative drama to the strategy . I could argue for the need to develop a new strategy using data from the website and user feedback . In addition , however , I had to do something else : as A. Martin says , I had to get the board " to a state of mind in which they want to participate and turn this challenge into a cause in which to invest . "
Reviewing the core values of the company , I realized that what motivates us all is the passion for training , for improving individual lives through up - to - date content . We want to address the women and men of today , with a contemporary mindset . In applying storytelling to this value , I visualized the need to use all the channels that technology offers nowadays , in order to better serve our clients . Rather than excluding certain channels a priori , we should test which ones fit with the aspirations and circumstances of our customers , all the while maintaining our company´s trademark plus : one - on one - personalized treatment .
Insight : With numerical data , customer responses and the explanation of our values , I prepared a presentation in storytelling format that proved very effective : in addition to visualizing tensions and opportunities , our own commitment as managers to the company was reinforced : we decided to go for the digital revolution and develop innovative products to satisfy our numerous new customers . I was reaffirmed in the overwhelming force that the storytelling tool can have .
Approach : The magnitude of the numerical data of web hits gave enough strength to the story to quickly visualize the change we need . The pandemic imposed a rapid transition , to telework and
forced us to turn to digital platforms for services that we used to do in person , allowed storytelling to function as an effective tool in and of itself .
From now on , however in order to create appropriate products , we will have to reconstruct the stories , using journey mapping , to discover the new reality of our customers and tell it . As well , we will employ brainstroming , to think about new possibilities and customer - cocreation to reach truly transformative products , adjusted to different customer profiles . In the following phases , I will use different visualization techniques to address leaders and employees , and customers of our company , in order to unite us all in a common cause : to be present where the future emerges and to shape it with our own hands . As Larry Page , founder of Google says , " the main cause that has led companies to fail is that they have lost the future . Visualization in the “ What If ” phase of design thinking is precisely the opposite : to look forward and facing the future , head on .

Challenge
I work in a market research agency . We recently developed a new approach to analyse consumer behavior and opinions from web sources . After testing the approach in a small scale , we find the results very promising as they provide rich and valuable insights . However , at this point our approach requires a lot of manual work and thus is rather inefficient – especially on a larger scale . We would like to develop a fully automated process of our approach that provides the same valuable insights as found in our tests – but much more efficient . This means , however , that our company has to make an investment in our approach . This again , means we will have to convince a number of stakeholders of our approach , make them believe in us and eventually release a budget for the investment .
Selection
I think the key to success , to convince the budget managers of our idea , is to wrap it into an inspiring , emotionally involving story . Preet Luna ’s contribution about the storytelling tool in week 2 of this fantastic course really was an eye opener here . After watching the rather short video it became very clear to me that in order to make this idea successful we would have to go beyond presenting a solid plan . We would have to share our excitement about the idea , make the stakeholders see our vision . Even though until now I have never been a great storyteller – I decided to make a start with this challenge .
Application
To create a stage for our story , we initiated a meeting with budget managers and other stakeholders of the company . As usual , we created a PowerPoint presentation as a means for sharing our ideas . This time , however , we made sure the presentation was n’t just about projecting figures on the wall . This time we wanted to give the figures a personal touch , something that the audience could identify with . We did this by conveying the perspective of the users we seek to analyse in the course of our approach . So our story was about a fictional 32 year old man who is interested in buying a specific kind of product . We showed real pictures to give an impression of his personality , his family , his home – to facilitate an ethnographic glimpse into the living environment of this specific persona . Even more important , we told the audience how he informed himself and talked to other like - minded people about the product and where to buy it ( which we knew about from testing our approach ) .
Insight
Our presentation had a very positive impact on the participants and lead to an exciting discussion about the chances , the possible insights and findings our approach helps to reveal . It was great to see how the participants immersed into the world of our fictional character , identified themselves with him , and even added pieces from their own personal experience to
the story . Of course , we also evoked criticism towards our new approach which we openly addressed instead of trying to dismiss it . Quite the contrary , we showed appreciation for constructive feedback as it is helpful for us to anticipate obstacles and find better solutions .
Approach
Overall , choosing the storytelling tool was a great decision . It turned out that embedding all information in an inspiring and emotionally involving story was the best thing we could do . It helped to pitch our approach to the rest of our company in a matter that everyone else could see its value as we see it hence it is vital to get them on our side so that we can move forward now and collaboratively create a great new service for our customers .

Challenge & Selection As a cyclist myself , sometimes the open road can be dangerous and accidents may occur . That is why some insurance companies started to target cyclists as consumers , but the consumer experience is still far from ideal , so I wanted to understand , and ultimately create a better insurance experience for road cyclists . For that , I chose the mind mapping tool during the exploration phase , in order to look for insights based on what insurances are in the market , as well as what kind of cyclists are purchasing it . Application I started the process by creating profiles ( Personas ) from the different kinds of cyclists , as they may vary within the sport , and add them to the map . Road cyclists , mountain cyclists , and commuters all have different goals , gear , and risk - levels . For instance , commuters use the bike for brief moments of the day , generally have cheaper gear , and do n’t have performance in mind . On the other hand , mountain and road cyclists have quite expensive bikes and equipment , can be out for many hours a week and because of the nature of the sport , are exposed to more injuries and accidents . I also added to my mind map the insurance companies that are offering cyclist coverage , dividing it by price , and coverage and general user experience . Having mapped the types of insurance and the client ’s personas , I started working on a series of questions to interview people inside my target group , reaching them out on social media , and managing to get feedback on why they chose to get insurance ( or not ) and how it makes them feel ( safe , unnecessary , expensive , etc ) . Insight & Approach What I have learned from conducting this exercise is that the mind map is a fantastic tool to organize ideas and next time I will try to integrate it with other visual tools ( like Visualization ) to get a clear picture of “ What Is ” the current situation . In my case , many cyclists do n’t feel the need for insurance as most accidents are minor , and the insurance services are expensive , and in their opinion , not totally reliable .

### Input: Mind Mapping - Insurance innovation
Challenge & Selection As a cyclist myself , sometimes the open road can be dangerous and accidents may occur . That is why some insurance companies started to target cyclists as consumers , but the consumer experience is still far from ideal , so I wanted to understand , and ultimately create a better insurance experience for road cyclists . For that , I chose the mind mapping tool during the exploration phase , in order to look for insights based on what insurances are in the market , as well as what kind of cyclists are purchasing it . Application I started the process by creating profiles ( Personas ) from the different kinds of cyclists , as they may vary within the sport , and add them to the map . Road cyclists , mountain cyclists , and commuters all have different goals , gear , and risk - levels . For instance , commuters use the bike for brief moments of the day , generally have cheaper gear , and do n’t have performance in mind . On the other hand , mountain and road cyclists have quite expensive bikes and equipment , can be out for many hours a week and because of the nature of the sport , are exposed to more injuries and accidents . I also added to my mind map the insurance companies that are offering cyclist coverage , dividing it by price , and coverage and general user experience . Having mapped the types of insurance and the client ’s personas , I started working on a series of questions to interview people inside my target group , reaching them out on social media , and managing to get feedback on why they chose to get insurance ( or not ) and how it makes them feel ( safe , unnecessary , expensive , etc ) . Insight & Approach What I have learned from conducting this exercise is that the mind map is a fantastic tool to organize ideas and next time I will try to integrate it with other visual tools ( like Visualization ) to get a clear picture of “ What Is ” the current situation . In my case , many cyclists do n’t feel the need for insurance as most accidents are minor , and the insurance services are expensive , and in their opinion , not totally reliable .

CHALLENGE
I am a design student and I learn about visualization as a solution for problem solving in college in a more professional way .The challenge was to create a better and fun , yet professional environment in the college . As my college recently opened the design branch there was n’t much to work with but I had my target audience set .
SELECTION
The process of selecting a design tool was as easy as it came . I believe that in seeing the future of a place , visualization plays a very important role . another approach taken to solve the problem above was ethnographic research , observation and interviews .
APPLICATION
My approach to understand the problem from a different point of view was to observe people in their natural environment so as to understand how they behave in their space without behaving in a socially acceptable way . After noticing a few things and taking note of them ( the classes being too dull , desks small and over crowding ) , just to be sure I started to interview teachers and students in an informal setting to increase the comfort level of the interviewee . after asking a couple of questions we asked them to visualize what the department will be like in the future and to show it through drawings , mood boards , sketches , stick figures or even line drawing in simple shapes . they answered by giving suggestions and ideas that actually helped finding solution . For Eg : show case the creativity . more interaction between teachers and students , and having fest and more collaborative projects with streams other than design school .
Their idea of what their space should feel like is the priority but looking at what s possible is also important . seeing that it was fairly new college compared to the rest and long system of getting funds which is tiring , we had to think to solve both problems
INSIGHTS
With the data I got through observation and interviews , I came to know that the faculty wanted the same things as the students , better space , more interaction and a more creative yet professional environment .
APPROACH
Coming to the solution of this problem needed a lot of work from the senior students of the college .
The students and teachers came together to form a system of mentors and mentees , where each faculty member gets a number of students from each yeah and stream . These groups we not
necessarily work related but to get to know everyone better and learn about the teachers and professors as well .
The second solution was organising cultural fests , organised by the design school , inviting all other streams like engineering and health science students to participate . this way the design school was putting itself on the map in the university .
thirdly , in order to cultivate creativity and make the building look like a design school , where in students were open to come in groups or individually to create installations for the college .
To promote this , teachers and professors were encouraged to give assignments with in the curriculum that could be displayed and installed around the building .
To promote and motivate students , on a per semester basis , the design school has work displays for each year and stream , which is open for the entire university to enjoy
INSPIRATION
For me , my inspiration to take up this project was , when I had joined the design school I had a certain vision of what I wanted it to feel like and look like to work everyday in my class as a design student . I was sure the students did too . this project was n’t very major and it look time to get all this into place . took up a lot of man power and working hours . its all dedicated to the students and teachers of the design school .

My company has long had challenges with our “ Quote to Cash ” process that we use to sell products to customers and then invoice and collect payment . The process is large and complex , and although we know it is not an efficient , streamlined process , the root causes have always been complex and often tangled , making it difficult to identify which actions would be most effective in solving the problem . Selection After digging into the challenges using the “ What is ” assessment of current state , I decided to use the storytelling tool in order to ensure that I was able to succinctly convey the findings in a compelling way that would provide color and a visualization for the strategy we were recommending , and would create a shared understanding of the problem and recommended approach to the solution . As the video lecture described , I wanted to create a cause that our audience would understand and respond to . Application I approached my storytelling by using the rules outlined in the storytelling section :
1 . Know your audience : My main audience was our CIO , who is responsible for delivering a solution to this problem . She wants to understand the case for change , but also quick and to the point , and supported by data . She wants to know that any proposed solution will make a big impact on the issue , and show results quickly .
2 . Clear sequence of events : I summarized how our “ what is ” current state assessment led me to this recommendation . We identified the most impactful pain points , and we grouped them into 3 themes . I then showed my recommended roadmap of projects to address the pain points , and the roadmap was color - coded to match the 3 pain point themes , so that we could easily show the direct relationship between the problem and how we expected to solve the problem . We had identified that there was one major action needed - “ defining ownership and roles & responsibilities ” - that was an overarching action that was a necessary first step for all other actions that would follow .
3 . Moments of reflection , or asking questions : I also used the “ asking questions ” and “ build suspense ” techniques to lay out the challenge and then explore the path to the solution . I felt that the story was laid out in a way that the conclusion was natural and felt clear , even though this has historically been a murky and complicated issue .
Insight I chose storytelling because I felt it would make this presentation clear and compelling for the listener , and likely lead us to the outcome we wanted . But additionally , what I realized as I began using this tool is that it forced me to really organize my thoughts , to think through what the key point of the story was , to make a sales pitch for my recommendation . So I actually felt it was most useful in giving me additional insight and perspective on my subject matter , in addition to providing a useful structure for communicating . Approach
I would absolutely use this tool again , because I found it to be incredibly effective . In future use of this tool , I would like begin to think through my story , and begin laying it out , earlier in the process , so that I could make sure that I was focusing on gathering data points that relate to the story I ’m trying to tell .

[ 00:00:02 ] In the last module , we were discussing why audio 's really having a renaissance these days . Basically , it 's a flexible storytelling form that can be really cheap to create , but it 's incredibly powerful at transporting people into a story . And the two most recent revolutions in computing technology have created new space for audio stories . That being smartphones with podcasts and voice assistance that have opened the door to interactive storytelling . This week we dive into what makes a good audio story and how to write for the ear . We have two conversations with people who work with audio storytelling that I hope you listen to .
[ 00:00:37 ] First , Hannah Allam is a reporter at NPR who covers extremism . But before NPR , she was at BuzzFeed News . She 's going to talk with us about how to make the switch from writing for the eye to writing for the ear . There 's also a great reading this week about moving from print to audio , which I highly encourage you to spend some time with .
[ 00:00:56 ] We 'll also talk with Ramtin Arablouei about sound design and soundscaping . Audio stories can be really simple , but he 'll share the more advanced techniques for using , scoring and production magic to really make a story sound gorgeous . And we 'll talk about some of the ethical considerations to think about when adding production to a piece of journalism .
[ 00:01:16 ] All right . Onto the focus of this week , the fundamentals of great audio storytelling . Now , you might think it 's about great sound or having a really good voice . Or maybe the right recording equipment . But it 's really not about any of those three things .
[ 00:01:32 ] For years , I 've been looking at moment by moment data on what people do when they listen to stories and podcasts , measures of listening and measures of engagement or what we sometimes call love . We 've been looking at when people decide to stop listening , when they mark a story is something they 're finding interesting and when they decide to share it with a friend . We 've learned a lot about what makes stories hold someone 's attention and what causes people to decide to give up and listen to something else . What we 've learned is that much of the time it really comes down to whether the storyteller is thinking about the person listening when we 're telling the story . It 's not so much about the audio equipment or the voice . It 's really about are we connecting with them ? Are we helping them understand why they should care about the story we 're telling ? Are we connecting the story with experiences they understand of the world ? Are we being respectful of how much time they have to listen or how much time the story is actually worth ? And are we being clear with them about what we want the story to really communicate to them ?
[ 00:02:31 ] So the number one lesson that we 've learned when we 've been studying data about listening is that you really have to think about your audience . I 'll share some more of what we 've learned from studying NPR when data in the next lecture . But really , the first question to ask yourself , when you sit down to tell a story for the ear using audio is what is my focus statement ? What is it that I want the person listening to this story to understand and to get it to take away and knowing that answer is the most important way to ensure that you serve your listener and that they have a great experience listening to your story .
[ 00:03:05 ] David Candow was an amazing storytelling coach who worked at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation . He 'd have journalists create a focus in the following form when somebody was sitting down to do an audio story . The form was , " someone doing something for a reason . " See he believed that all good stories were about people . Stories are n't really about things , but they 're about a person engaged in an action that has purpose , someone doing something for a reason .
[ 00:03:33 ] And once you have that , you have a really big jumpstart on the next thing you need to figure out to have a great audio story . And that 's what voices need to appear in this audio story . That person who 's doing something for a reason , it 's almost always your main character . It might be you going about the process of investigating a story and getting answers that change our understanding of an issue . It might be the doctor developing a better way of screening essential workers for Covid 19 so that fewer workers get sick . Or maybe it 's a teenager protesting against the environmental racism in her community . All of these are examples of people doing something
for a reason . And there are people whose voices are all important to the story you 're planning to tell . You may have other voices you need to hear from as well , but it 's important to spend time figuring out who a listener needs to literally hear from in your story . Because one of the things audio storytelling does so well is show emotion . In print we have to describe emotion , but in audio you can hear emotion in somebodies voice . Once you 've done an interview with the person doing something for a reason or any of the people that need to figure in your story , you really should be listening for those emotional moments when you go through their tape . If there 's tape that makes you laugh or cry or have any sort of emotional reaction , that 's tape to think about using . We can always write a narration to explain a fact or describe an action . But the emotional reaction is something you need to hear in the person 's own voice . You can hear how two people feel about each other when they interact during an interview . You can hear somebodies frustration with the question you just asked . And that tells us something . And you can even hear excitement about what somebody just discovered when they 're telling the story of their discovery to you .
[ 00:05:18 ] These moments provide a richness of information that can really only be transmitted through the human voice . That richness is one of the things that makes audio storytelling so powerful . As we discussed in the first part of the course .
[ 00:05:31 ] Next , we 'll dive into some of the elements of writing that are different when you write for the ear , not the eye .

### Input: Module 2 : The fundamentals of audio storytelling
[ 00:00:02 ] In the last module , we were discussing why audio 's really having a renaissance these days . Basically , it 's a flexible storytelling form that can be really cheap to create , but it 's incredibly powerful at transporting people into a story . And the two most recent revolutions in computing technology have created new space for audio stories . That being smartphones with podcasts and voice assistance that have opened the door to interactive storytelling . This week we dive into what makes a good audio story and how to write for the ear . We have two conversations with people who work with audio storytelling that I hope you listen to .
[ 00:00:37 ] First , Hannah Allam is a reporter at NPR who covers extremism . But before NPR , she was at BuzzFeed News . She 's going to talk with us about how to make the switch from writing for the eye to writing for the ear . There 's also a great reading this week about moving from print to audio , which I highly encourage you to spend some time with .
[ 00:00:56 ] We 'll also talk with Ramtin Arablouei about sound design and soundscaping . Audio stories can be really simple , but he 'll share the more advanced techniques for using , scoring and production magic to really make a story sound gorgeous . And we 'll talk about some of the ethical considerations to think about when adding production to a piece of journalism .
[ 00:01:16 ] All right . Onto the focus of this week , the fundamentals of great audio storytelling . Now , you might think it 's about great sound or having a really good voice . Or maybe the right recording equipment . But it 's really not about any of those three things .
[ 00:01:32 ] For years , I 've been looking at moment by moment data on what people do when they listen to stories and podcasts , measures of listening and measures of engagement or what we sometimes call love . We 've been looking at when people decide to stop listening , when they mark a story is something they 're finding interesting and when they decide to share it with a friend . We 've learned a lot about what makes stories hold someone 's attention and what causes people to decide to give up and listen to something else . What we 've learned is that much of the time it really comes down to whether the storyteller is thinking about the person listening when we 're telling the story . It 's not so much about the audio equipment or the voice . It 's really about are we connecting with them ? Are we helping them understand why they should care about the story we 're telling ? Are we connecting the story with experiences they understand of the world ? Are we being respectful of how much time they have to listen or how much time the story is actually worth ? And are we being clear with them about what we want the story to really communicate to them ?
[ 00:02:31 ] So the number one lesson that we 've learned when we 've been studying data about listening is that you really have to think about your audience . I 'll share some more of what we 've learned from studying NPR when data in the next lecture . But really , the first question to ask yourself , when you sit down to tell a story for the ear using audio is what is my focus statement ? What is it that I want the person listening to this story to understand and to get it to take away and knowing that answer is the most important way to ensure that you serve your listener and that they have a great experience listening to your story .
[ 00:03:05 ] David Candow was an amazing storytelling coach who worked at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation . He 'd have journalists create a focus in the following form when somebody was sitting down to do an audio story . The form was , " someone doing something for a reason . " See he believed that all good stories were about people . Stories are n't really about things , but they 're about a person engaged in an action that has purpose , someone doing something for a reason .
[ 00:03:33 ] And once you have that , you have a really big jumpstart on the next thing you need to figure out to have a great audio story . And that 's what voices need to appear in this audio story . That person who 's doing something for a reason , it 's almost always your main character . It might be you going about the process of investigating a story and getting answers that change our understanding of an issue . It might be the doctor developing a better way of screening essential workers for Covid 19 so that fewer workers get sick . Or maybe it 's a teenager protesting against the environmental racism in her community . All of these are examples of people doing something
for a reason . And there are people whose voices are all important to the story you 're planning to tell . You may have other voices you need to hear from as well , but it 's important to spend time figuring out who a listener needs to literally hear from in your story . Because one of the things audio storytelling does so well is show emotion . In print we have to describe emotion , but in audio you can hear emotion in somebodies voice . Once you 've done an interview with the person doing something for a reason or any of the people that need to figure in your story , you really should be listening for those emotional moments when you go through their tape . If there 's tape that makes you laugh or cry or have any sort of emotional reaction , that 's tape to think about using . We can always write a narration to explain a fact or describe an action . But the emotional reaction is something you need to hear in the person 's own voice . You can hear how two people feel about each other when they interact during an interview . You can hear somebodies frustration with the question you just asked . And that tells us something . And you can even hear excitement about what somebody just discovered when they 're telling the story of their discovery to you .
[ 00:05:18 ] These moments provide a richness of information that can really only be transmitted through the human voice . That richness is one of the things that makes audio storytelling so powerful . As we discussed in the first part of the course .
[ 00:05:31 ] Next , we 'll dive into some of the elements of writing that are different when you write for the ear , not the eye .

Change & Selection
I used the Mind Mapping tool . I often use this approach for my exams . I used the Mind Mapping technique with a set of questions or prompts to be able to look at the problem at a broad level .
Application
I begin the process by creating a graphic of the problem . Existing material can be training materials , materials from other tests , ideas from other students . The graphics are simple and contain simple shapes . I will print a graphic on which I can write directly , or use sticky notes to make comments . I have questions to answer such as : 1 ) What is the exam about ? 2 ) Main points 3 ) What was the emphasis on during the course ? Later , I check the graphics , write down in points what I have found . New ideas , issues , a different perspective .
Insight & Approach
Graphics give me a reference point that allows it to see a different point of view . I can quickly identify what is missing , what needs to be learned , what I can prepare for . I can create such graphics together with other people , because then we can share our observations .

Final Assignment
Federico Ragni Italy , 07/29/2016
The Challenge to Be Tackled My daily work as project manager within an innovation centre is developing and implementing
projects aiming at devising innovative solutions for a wide range of technoeconomic ,
organizational and institutional issues , which involve various stakeholders with different ( often
divergent ) interests . Usually , in order to raise the financial resources necessary to realize the
interventions , we apply for financings to European public funding programmes . When I started to attend this course on Design Thinking , I was finalizing a project proposal
dedicated to build a transnational incubator that should help to launch social innovation
initiatives answering both local and transnational territorial challenges . After having submitted
the application form to the funding programme , my colleagues and I were called to present the
devised solution to some of the stakeholders that should be involved in the project
implementation in the case we are granted the financings . In particular , we had to present the
project to a group of mayors administering some territories on which the incubator should have
some branches . In doing so , the tricky issue to be tackled was to translate a complex
international project written according to the bureaucratic rules of the funding programme in
something understandable for people not directly involved in defining it and looking for concrete
solutions to very contingent local problems . For this reason , our coordinator asked us to prepare
a presentation using a simple , clear and concrete language . The Selected Tool On the basis of what was presented during the Module 2 of this course ( see the ‘ Storytelling
Tool ’ video ) , I decided to propose my colleagues to use the ‘ storytelling tool ’ in order to draft our
presentation . I thought about such a tool as it puts stakeholders and their priorities at the centre
stage of a product / service / initiative , it makes abstract concepts and models concrete , and
involve the audience through entertaining and emotional techniques . I was therefore convinced
that storytelling could have helped us to simplify the explanation of the project ’s intervention
logic avoiding too technical details , to tune the incubator ’s activities and contributions to the
contingent and concrete needs of the mayors , and to gain their attention through a fresh and
smart communication approach . The Application of the Tool
My colleagues approved my proposal and we started to think how to draft the project
presentation through storytelling . That meant , first of all , to decide on two key aspects of our
presentation : a ) the narrative to be implemented that is , the story to be told and its structure; b )
the technical means to be used to tell the story . On the one hand , we decided to put at the
centre stage of our story the challenges these mayors and their local stakeholders had
highlighted as territorial priorities in a recent programmatic document ( e.g. sustainable urban
development , labour market , healthcare ) , highlighting that all these problems shared a common
element that could be activated to solve them (= the people ) and presenting the incubator as the
instrument to be used to activate such a factor . On the other , we were convinced that we should
have avoided to use Power Point ( too analytical and too static ) and then we opted for Prezi ,
which enables to draft powerful presentation based on a canvas graphically representing a topic
and which can be navigated through . In our case , we decided to cartoonized the towns and the
surrounding territories administered by the mayors with whom we had to talk and to use the
graphic visualizations of the territories as a means to explain the meaning of the challenges . We
worked hard for some days on the presentation , more than usually as finalizing the graphic part
was timeconsuming . And finally the DDay came . We launched our Prezi presentation in a meeting with all the
mayors sit around the same table and we started to tell the story prepared . And we failed . Our
audience was firstly captured and amused by the graphics implemented and followed with
attention and agreement our evocative presentation of their territorial problems . But when we
passed to talk about our solution to help them , they started to be confused up to get completely
lost during the presentation of the transnational partnership ( although the organizations involved
are main players in the field of social innovation at European level ) . The boss and all the work
team were really disappointed and disheartened . The Learnt Insights and the Approach To Be Adopted Next Time In the following days , we started to think about what went wrong . Did that remain the first and
last time in which we used storytelling to present a project ? At all ! In fact , it was immediately
clear to all of us that such a tool allows us to translate the technical language we use in devising
the innovation solutions and in submitting them to the institutional financiers into a discourse
more accessible to all the other stakeholders . After all , our presentation of the mayors ’ territorial
problems was well understood and enjoyed , and enabled us to connect a project taking into
account the prerogatives of very different actors to the specific needs of a specific stakeholder .
Yet , it was also clear that the presentation ’s section dedicated to the more abstract aspects of
our innovation solution was the real problem : in this case , we failed to make our language
concrete and to present an intangible innovation ( a service ) as a tangible instrument to use in
the daytoday work . In this regard , the use of examples of concrete social initiatives that can be
launched through the incubator could have helped to clarify how the incubator actually works
and which benefits can provide . Such considerations convinced us that the logic behind the storytelling tool that is , the very
logic of design thinking which suggests to start from real needs expressed by real people to
arrive to devise simple and concrete solutions easily understandable and usable by them is to
be implemented not only for presenting the innovations but also and foremost for developing
them . Consequently , my work team decided to deepen the design thinking approach and to try
to adopt it , updating our work tools and models .

My new job was to develop new patient booking module in one month ( old booking module does not supported new server software ) . The new tasks was not only new software supporting , but also it was a functionality optimisation and user interface development . Selection My partner departments were a clinicians and hospital quality department - people who a far away from software developing . I decided to choose visualisation tool to explain old booking system problems and show advantages of a new system . I used diagram.net software because hospital IT department recommendation . All hospital users had an access to this software and could operationally do changes to diagrams . Application I draw a simple diagram of an old booking system so that clinicians could understand how the data flows between components . I knew the problem components but I also wanted that clinicians and quality department also understand the same problems . So I asked them to analyse the flow . I made two different appointments – one with clinicians and another with quality department . I decided to do so because clinicians feels more comfortable and are more brave when only doctors and nurses are around table . So I discussed same diagram in two groups . Both groups find same problems . Next step was to discuss a new diagram . I made some new diagrams with alternative flows . Before showing those diagrams to groups , we made a brainstorm session for 30 min to hear all ideas that non - IT people could generate . This activity aroused interest to my new diagrams – do we find those ideas or not . Most of non - utopian ideas was already on diagrams . Visualisation helped clinicians an quality department employees to understand the technical meaning of their ideas . Each group chooses one new diagram that satisfies them more . Groups chooses two different diagrams . I also asked to find two main persons from each group who are going to take a part in future discussions in corporate group .
Because of choosing different flow diagrams , I decided to visualise both diagrams on one sheet . So we saw combined and different flows . After we made a discussion only on different flows .
Insight
In this discussion we reached to another problem ( that helps me to understand why the difference is in ) – clinicians want to put the most of responsibility on booking module end users . However , quality department thinks that clinician could be more involved in booking process ( they must communicate more details that booking process was easy and intuitive for end users ) . Trough discussion we draw different process flows to reach the goal , that satisfies both – clinician and non - clinician personal . Visualisation accelerated decision - making process .
Approach
This course helped me in hospital discussions . I used all the questions – what is ; what if ; what wow ; what works . These simple questions helped to stay in focus . I am more convinced that visualisation help to accelerate decision making process ; one draw is much clearer than 1000 words . In future I still using a different methods of visualisation .

CHALLENGE AND SELECTION
Storytelling is a useful tool that I try to use everytime I want to transmit an idea because it helps the audience to capture a message that has logic . For me , storytelling is a connection that we give to people about a piece of information that we 're trying to share .
As a student of business administration , being able to work with my team through a story that creates emotional connection , has been really challenging but also essential because we can raise the level of commitment and with that , we could create a better performance at any work or project .

When I first used the storytelling tool , was for a project assignment that my team and I had at the university . This assignment was about creating a brand that people would easily recognize . We learned in our marketing classes that when it comes to stories , brands that tell more , sell more . Therefore , my team and I discussed the importance of storytelling , we realized that we must apply it since it is important to create a message for the brand that make consumers feel something .
It seems to me an excellent strategy to connect with people , because it is not just selling a product , but a story . Working with my team on how we will create an impact , in such a way that our consumers have the need to share it with more people and that they can satisfy their needs and wishes , was exhausting but worthy .
INSIGHT
The learning that we had as team is that storytelling has always been a part of business and it gives an enormous advantage over other companies . In my point of view , mastering the storytelling tool will enrich me professionally because in business administration career you need to understand the needs of consumers and create a work team that develops a deeper empathy .
Furthermore , the importance of client focused approach is essential when it comes to understand and convince consumers of your brand messaging , this can impact everyone for the better because many consumer purchases are not about logic or reason , but emotion .
APPROACH
With the university brand project assignment that I had and the course of design thinking for innovation , my team and I discovered a different perspective on how we can see and understand one another through the power of stories and with that being able to create value . Clearly , storytelling is a powerful learning technique , however , it is also important to consider other tools like the power of visualization and learning
launch because in this way we will be able to completely understand our consumer in a unique way and it helps us to present new and innovative ideas for future projects , as well as in a professional environment .

### Input: STORYTELLING
CHALLENGE AND SELECTION
Storytelling is a useful tool that I try to use everytime I want to transmit an idea because it helps the audience to capture a message that has logic . For me , storytelling is a connection that we give to people about a piece of information that we 're trying to share .

This approach can be used with a negotiation team in human resources area when negotiating with the labor union . Storytelling was chosen because it gives humans , which , at the end of the story are the main actors in the problems to solve , the ability to develop a deeper empathy , in this case needed to understand both , the labor union ’s petitions and requests and the negotiating team ’s needs and responsibilities during the process . The negotiation process begins with the labor union sending their petitions fold and the negotiating team , reading them and analyzing what can be modified , what ca n’t and what can be debatable with the union . The advantage of using the storytelling tool is that it serves not just as an analysis tool , because in this situation analysis is needed but ca n’t be the main focus , the negotiating team needs to prepare their minds for having a close observation of the situation to be able to solve the negotiation in the shortest time and best terms possible . Application The storytelling tool starts being used during all times of the process of the negotiation : before the petitions fold is sent to the negotiating team , the members begin to prepare by trying to tell different stories understanding the reality in which they are negotiating , and , at the same time , analyzing previous experiences they had when negotiating by establishing predictions , rules and analysis that seem to work previously and could work in the present situation . As the goal of the negotiation process is to succeed fast and find the better good for both parts , ideas and steps during the process need to be taken slowly and one by one , you can not conclude the negotiation by having fights and difficult communication with the unions . By using storytelling , the corporate culture of the organization is presented by the negotiating team for both parts to understand the objectives of their meetings and have a way to see and understand in very simple yet effective ways how the organization operates and how decisions should be taken understanding this , not all organizations are the same , so creativity and a well understanding of how the organization works is essential to the resolution of the problem . When the petition from the labor union is sent to the negotiating team the next step is for the negotiating team to use storytelling in all sorts of ways . First of all something that needs to be understood is that this is an unstable environment where the steps towards the solution of the problem are n’t written in any books , there are recommendations but every negotiation is different where uncertainty ca n’t be limited or fear because it is going to be present in every decision both parts will take and the role of storytelling here is to understand the labor union not only as a number of workers trying to defend their labor rights but as objective employees
whose needs have to be understood and try to provide the best job environment the organization is able to . The negotiating team understands by storytelling that they need to have a growth mindset that helps them develop empathy , empathy is a main actor in this process as it is needed for both parts to understand what their “ opponent ” is doing , empathy helps the negotiating process to be more effective and respectful of other ’s point of view . For the use of the storytelling tool , what will happen is that the negotiating team will divide into groups and each of them will come up with stories that help obtain emotional connection and understand the purpose of everything the labor union fights for . Next , the teams will understand that what they ’re doing is not only solving a problem , or doing a negotiation , but the main focus and larger purpose is creating a cause , in this case trying to find the ways of creating a better work environment , a better balance between life and work , and the wellbeing of employees . By doing this stories , the negotiating team needs to first know well their union , here the importance of empathy , understanding other ’s needs and ways of acting . Also , to be able to use the storytelling tool efficiently there must be moments to reflect what they ’re doing , understanding why the negotiation is going on , what is it that employees need , what is it that the organization needs , what is the better good for both parts . Finally , by using storytelling during the negotiation process everything gets concluded properly , nothing gets left behind or forgotten and every aspect both parts are negotiating gets debated and finally a decision is made . Insight and approach The storytelling tool was a good way of understanding the context and develop the necessary empathy for the negotiating team to understand and comprehend the necessities of the labor union , but , something I learned is that both the labor union and the negotiating team need to understand the outside cause and bigger objective of what they ’re doing , it ca n’t be just an emotional process , other aspects get involved from outside of the two parts from the approach I made , news , social pression , people that do n’t want the negotiation to go well , politics , and external situations that can have a negative effect on the negotiation process , so these need to be analyzed and taken care of as well , maybe storytelling ca n’t always be the main focus , it can be used as a way of preparing the negotiating team but ca n’t be the only approach made . A final reflection I can make from conducting this experiment is that it can be helpful mainly on the preparation process and the beginning of the negotiation process as it helps to understand the needs of the employees and gives a clearer understanding of the reasons people ask what they do , emphasizing in having empathy between leaders and employees .

Challenge & Selection
As a manager of a GRC ( Governance , Risks and Compliance ) company , we had a challenge to change and re - design our brand , due to the following points : to move away from an outdated image , separate us from the supplier company of our software ( Nasdaq ) and further humanize the GRC for the clients , transforming our company as a reference of implementation and support of GRC in Latin America .
The project team defined for this activity was composed of 5 people , including third parties ( a large re - branding company ) , with whom we worked side by side . The deadline for this change was about three months , starting from the company 's mission , through manifest and finally the logo . The stakeholders we dealt with during this challenge were our internal team , clients who had already contracted our services and potential clients , on a small scale . This was all done with a limited budget .
The selected tool for this challenge was the Visualization tool , due to the need of getting different views and opinions regarding this re - branding , in understanding where we were positioned and where we would like to go , with a very graphical view , using shapes , straw man , sticky notes and a mural of collages .
Application
With the tool set to start the work of Design Thinking , we all gathered in a great room to brainstorm with questions relevant to the theme of brand change . For this , each of the five involved in the process , developed in their notebooks some illustrated figures , responding in the understanding they had about our company in the market . After fifteen minutes , we projected these photographs onto a large television so that everyone could get an idea of what someone else 's cognitive drawn , understanding what our current situation is . In this way , we complement each other to arrive in our state " What is " . The initial part of the process we could say it was the easiest , since against facts there are not much of arguments , so we just had to do a little calibration to get common understanding . The next step was to get the sticky notes and start drawing what we imagined the customer would like to receive from our system 's benefits in their day to day and how it would feel good to know that your company was in compliance with all the standards imposed by the government and other regulatory bodies , and have its risks controlled by an intuitive system , in an easy way . This was made using flowcharts and figures , to be easily visualized by everyone in the group . After that , the output was a big set of ideas that we selected a few of them , by get the minimal agreement from everyone from the participants and the rest of the ideas was sent to the shelf .
Insight & Approach
The group has learned that with this approach , we were able to elaborate in a much simpler way , through drawings , what was inside the mind of each individual in the group . Every human being has their own cognition and their way of understanding the world , beyond their values , so things that did not seem so relevant to one , became more important to another . In the end , we all come to a common understanding , accepting the least feasible for all , that is , we approve as a group . What I have learned individually is that the importance of listening to various people is that they feel part of the transformation and resolution of a challenge . What I understand that could be done differently for the next few times is perhaps to diversify the group a little more , because although we have different areas involved within this scope , we still lacked a bit more diversity , to see beyond our day the day . But the whole process proved to be profitable and being released three months ago , the brand proved to be disruptive in the market , with a good perception of the market with the slogan " GRC New Era " !

Challenge & Selection
The primary instrument I utilized was the device of Visualization , or Visual Thinking , to accomplish a common comprehension of an issue space among a various gathering of partners before endeavouring to distinguish and characterize potential answers for the issue . I utilize this methodology regularly with our clients , who are government organizations attempting to apply innovation advancements to modernize their crucial the conveyance of their administrations to their client , which might be U.S. residents , organizations , and non - residents . I have utilized the strategy of utilizing a misrepresentation visualization of an issue space with a lot of inquiries or prompts for conversation to permit a different gathering of partners to gain from one another during the time spent characterizing the extension , limits , key components , and connections between components to consider whenever distinguishing torment focuses and open doors for upgrades or arrangements .
Application
I start the procedure 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 earth . The current material might be operational or procedural archives , preparing materials , showcasing materials , GAO or other reviewing 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 central matters of contact on the activity .
On the off chance that proper 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 strengthening the thought that each help – even an inside help – has clients with whom the specialist organization communicates and inner procedures that empower the association to offer the support . The format I regularly start with additionally has a section on the left to distinguish Partners and Value Chain Providers and a segment on the option to recognize Oversight Organizations , for example , Congress , GAO , worker 's guilds , backing gatherings , and different elements that may add requirements to how the association works . The misrepresentation realistic is basic , utilizing basic shapes and symbols accessible in Visio or on the Internet . On the off chance that the front - stage / back - stage see does n't work , at that point I will make an alternate kind of visual , either dependent on a significant level procedure stream with swim paths for various partners , or another arrangement .
For the action , I will partition the partners into gatherings of 5 - 6 members each speaking to an alternate association or zone of intrigue . Each gathering gets a banner size duplicate of the misrepresentation realistic that they can compose on legitimately , or utilize clingy notes to offer remarks . I offer them two - three inquiries to response , 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 difficult space ? 3 ) What key bits of knowledge do you have about the connections between the elements in your difficult space ? I give them around 20 minutes to talk about 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 eachgathering reports out , I record shared characteristics in the experiences of each gathering , and afterward extra bits of knowledge that originate from the gathering conversation on an extra duplicate of the realistic . After the meeting , I digitize each gathering 's banner as a curio , make a view
that joins the common and new experiences from the gathering conversation , and afterward make an overhauled realistic that fuses their input and proposed changes that they consented to as a gathering .
Insight & Approach
What I have gained from leading this activity with a few gatherings is that while the realistic – particularly the overhauled realistic that joins their input – is significant for fortifying their comprehension of the difficult they are attempting to unravel , the more important part of the action is the common bits of knowledge and shared discovering that happens while they are attempting to characterize their difficult space . The realistic gives the assorted gathering of partners a point of convergence for conversation that permits them to share their viewpoints and form bits of knowledge into potential main drivers of their issues . While they could make the realistic from a clear record in a shared way , beginning with a misrepresentation kicks off 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 increase new bits of knowledge about connections between key elements as opposed to setting aside some effort to distinguish them . They can likewise distinguish factors in the difficult space – that is , it causes them to recognize what they do n't have a clue , in what zones they have to get data or information to give the qualities to the factors .

On the off chance that the front - stage / back - stage see does n't work , at that point I will make an alternate kind of visual , either dependent on a significant level procedure stream with swim paths for various partners , or another arrangement .
For the action , I will partition the partners into gatherings of 5 - 6 members each speaking to an alternate association or zone of intrigue . Each gathering gets a banner size duplicate of the misrepresentation realistic that they can compose on legitimately , or utilize clingy notes to offer remarks . I offer them two - three inquiries to response , 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 difficult space ? 3 ) What key bits of knowledge do you have about the connections between the elements in your difficult space ? I give them around 20 minutes to talk about 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 eachgathering reports out , I record shared characteristics in the experiences of each gathering , and afterward extra bits of knowledge that originate from the gathering conversation on an extra duplicate of the realistic . After the meeting , I digitize each gathering 's banner as a curio , make a view
that joins the common and new experiences from the gathering conversation , and afterward make an overhauled realistic that fuses their input and proposed changes that they consented to as a gathering .
Insight & Approach
What I have gained from leading this activity with a few gatherings is that while the realistic – particularly the overhauled realistic that joins their input – is significant for fortifying their comprehension of the difficult they are attempting to unravel , the more important part of the action is the common bits of knowledge and shared discovering that happens while they are attempting to characterize their difficult space . The realistic gives the assorted gathering of partners a point of convergence for conversation that permits them to share their viewpoints and form bits of knowledge into potential main drivers of their issues . While they could make the realistic from a clear record in a shared way , beginning with a misrepresentation kicks off 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 increase new bits of knowledge about connections between key elements as opposed to setting aside some effort to distinguish them . They can likewise distinguish factors in the difficult space – that is , it causes them to recognize what they do n't have a clue , in what zones they have to get data or information to give the qualities to the factors .

Challenge
I am a coordinator at x organization which support and against the violence subject to the women and children in X refugee camp so that they can live in life with no violence and with peace . In addition , we collaborate with families to help them to solve the challenges they face and solve some conflicts raised . The challenge is that the women who has a job experience many conflicts in their families because they do n’t prepare food to their children on time , cleaning and washing cloths and other domestic activities they are responsible . Also , they struggle to meet deadline of the work related responsibilities and those cause issue in their families and at their workplace . We tried to solve the issue in their families and we have thought about the sustainable solution that can eradicate those issue at home and job .
Selection
My team and I went through design thinking process to solve that problem . We have used leaning launch tool and mapping tool as a way of solving this issue . Mapping tool helped us to gather the data from the women who have a job and families using chart and spreadsheet . This helped us to define well the real problem . Also , we used launch tool as a way of experimenting and prototyping the selected solution to gather the feedback from the end users and test to see if it works or not .
Application
First of all , we collected the data using the in person interview , and group discussion to see what is the real problem and it causes for better solving it . We can up with the problem which is that the women are struggling with managing home and job responsibilities because of many responsibilities with little time they have .
After understanding the problem , we brainstormed possible solutions to the problem such as preparing a workshop about time management , preparing a workshop about stress management , and workshop about gender balance .
We analyzed each and every solution which can be fit with problem , ability and resources we have . We selected the workshop about time management to solve the conflicts within the families . We went to the community and gather the targeted women who have job and families and discuss about how they currently use to manage their home and job responsibilities . Then , we help them to know different tool of managing time including prioritization matrix , google calendar , and schedule .
Insight
The end users appreciated the workshop and suggested to invite their husband to learn more about the importance of gender balance . We actually applied their feedback . The men have been invited and attend the workshop about gender balance . This workshop was helpful because men learnt different way of helping the wife and work collaboratively to achieve family goal and organization ’s goal . Three month later , the conflicts were no longer appeared in their families . This was a great impact to our community .
Approach
My team and I went thought different designing process to solve the issue happened in our community . Mapping tool and learning launch helped me much on this process of solving the conflicts raised in the families that women have jobs . In the future , I want to prepare a workshop about time management both genders because the men also need to know how to manage their time . This is because , the woman may have a schedule of what she will do in a day , but the man brings other things do which she did n’t play . In that time , man prevent the woman to manage the time . Reason why , both need to be trained that they can know what to do first , delegate , plan , and reject by prioritization matrix .

Challenge & Selection
The Supply Chain Management is a task that demands to take into account different elements , inputs and variables for optimizing resources and finding solutions that meet the expected customer service . Logistics is a key activity for the SCM , the main growth and savings of the whole business normally come from designing an efficient logistics network , but ¿ what happens when an actual network needs to be improved due to external and unexpected factors that are affecting the industry in which the business operates ? Sketching the network with the visualization tool has been the best choice to stay in the question of “ how to keep efficiency in a landscape of uncertainty imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic ? ” The logistics team of a chemical company I actually work for used this approach of the visualization tool to draw and sketch the different elements , scopes and opportunities our actual logistics network has , with the purpose of improving it and , therefore , achieve the expected savings .
Application
The process started by drawing on a map the regions where each of the warehouses and distribution terminals operate in order to recognize the top clients of each region , this top was defined not only by the revenues these clients mean but by the amount of material they consumed in the last year ; this is a much relevant indicator while selling a lot of profitable products is not the same as moving big quantities in terms of logistics costs and expenses .
Once the team was able to visualize the top clients and the respective distribution centers they are supplied from , the routes were clear for everyone in the team ; as long as they had the notion of the lead times and location of the different DCs and customer ’s plants , this map helped them to sensitize about the problems they face in the diary planning of their deliveries and operations . But , certainly , the solution had not been found until the team took the task of finding every possible and accurate indicator that could helped to increase the efficiency of the logistics operations , whether the data was available or not .
So , by means of sticky notes around the map containing the different insights of internal and external stakeholders , the KPI ’s were not the only solution , but many ideas about relocating operations , reducing the transport fleet and changing current routes were born and ready to get tested in the next stage as small and cheap projects .
Insight & approach
This example may not demonstrate a perfect use of the visualization tool in terms of Design Thinking , but as an actual intern , I could relate the importance of graphic elements with a real situation and how these tools managed to solve not - seen problems with future small projects which , surely , will be implemented in a small scale but with iterative trials .
It also gave me an approach to the mindset needed in DT , which demands engagement , questioning and testing ideas , accepting uncertainty and experiencing customer ’s needs .

Challenge
I am professional member a big and leading organisation in sustainable development responsible for
governance , rule of law , climate change , justice poverty solutions for keeping people out of poverty . I am
working in a conflict country and one of the responsibility and challenge of my program is establishing
accessible legal aid and legal information system for the vulnerable population - women , SGBV cases , the
poor , IDPs , refugees , land disputes and disabled . When I joined the program , there was complete vacuum
and total lack of human resources , legal and institutional framework in access to justice services . The
government had no capacity and infrastructure at all .
I started providing legal aid services through contracted NGOs , through legal clinics and through mobile
courts - all ad hoc . I also developed various concept notes , guidance on processes and data from all justice
institutions - police , courts , lawyers , prisons , ministry of justice and hospitals and NGOs . The
suppliers / donors intend to make effective use of resources and make available legal aid and information
for the beneficiaries throughout the justice chain . The challenge is to develop an integrated data of users ,
nature of their legal problems , and provide appropriate services to the vulnerable , the poor , the SGBV
victims and disabled . My team had done several brains storming exercises , visualising the challenges ,
processes and solutions . My team has developed number of tools including data collection template ,
communication between police , lawyers , legal aid service providers , prosecutors , judges and prisons . We
have designed TORs , coordination mechanism among all the stakeholders and even launch specialised
courts for SGBV cases and land cases .
Our assumption is that coordination amongst all stakeholders , one stop services , specialised courts
services would enhance access of the users and make effective and efficient use of funds to the
satisfaction of donors
Selection :
The team has already collected broad data from the users and beneficiaries , has develop template , has
discussions with the service providers to assess needs of the beneficiaries , levels of the beneficiaries . We
want to test new ideas in pilot jurisdiction to ensure and deepen real time coordination between all actors
in the justice chain to the benefit of users of the services that is cost effective , sustained and accessible .
Also test the idea of establishing specialised courts for SGBV and land cases , enhance coordination within
and between investigators , prosecutors and medical services providers . This is search for truth , prove
the assumptions and we could adapt and amend the idea and it would result in saving money and
resources . The tool will enable the team to create a prototype for the users , improve our business process
and model in conflict countries . It will have bigger impact on the users .
Application :
In the first learning launch we would establish as a pilot a robust coordination system between various
justice actors , develop deep understanding amongst them , we would develop and establish
communication and easy access of the users of the services and provide them all necessary services-
psych - social , medical , legal - at one place .
In the second learning launch design , the team would identify specialised courts for SGBV and land cases .
We would test the ideas , develop new processes , understand needs of users , understand nature of data ,
thus improve systems , processes , capacity of the services providers and develop a system that is effective
and accessible to the users , people friendly . The learning launch will develop simple , low cost prototype
to be rolled out to other regions .
Insight :
Wow ! Well , the learning launch designs would allow our team to test the assumptions that specialised
courts for SGBV and land cases , one stop coordination for legal aid and legal information would enhance
access to SGBV and legal aid services and it would enhance users ’ confidence and trust and effective use
of resources with greater results . We are expecting to dig deep into users ’ types , users ’ needs , and more
acceptable services to the people . The learning launch design will help identify actors ’ and activities ,
user ’s needs , service providers behaviour , insights into relations between service providers and users ,
leading to clearer and certainty in the nature of services , the process that is accessible to users and is
satisfying for them . Moving forward , the team will review these insights and incorporate it into future
launch designs to other areas . The ongoing incorporation of insights is particularly important at this stage ,
as launches come before a full rollout in the design thinking timeline .
Approach :
what you will do differently next time - applying the same tool or different tool . Mind mapping of the users ,
and of the customers / donors .
My team has accomplished several brains storming and thinking activities , and has also develop template
for data collection , terminologies and processes that are easy for service providers and service users . I
think the learning launch is the appropriate tool . It would provide opportunity for mind mapping of the
users of the legal aid services . The team would incorporate the Lessons learned , and data generated from
learning launch design , into the future launch designs to be expanded to other areas . Our future launch
designs would reflect insight gained , progress made , and come closer to a more effective , users friendly
solution ready for full rollout to all regions .

Challenge & Selection : -
I use storytelling as a tool to communicate with my clients . Storytelling is a process of
using facts & narrative to communication sometimes to your audience . so this tool is very helpful which easily convey message to target audience . I am working as a junior counsellor in well known psychotheraputic organization . I conduct councelling sessions for parents who have autistic child . Such parents have to deal with a lot of stress , depression , anxiety and emotional imbalance . They are always worried about their child . They loses hopes as they think that their child will never have normal life and will have to struggle for rest of their life . Such parents need a proper guidance regarding how to deal with autistic child and understand their world . so that they will not face any problem handling their child . Such parents also need guidance regarding how to deal with their mental imbalance so that they can stay away from stress , depression and anxiety . I am help them to know that how to be motivated and empathetic about their children . I have studied some cases of autistic children and read many motivational stories of parents who helped their autistic child to live happy and motivated life with the help of proper councelling . But every parent has different story and struggle and those different stories helped me to understand different problems faced by them and according to that I can help them with a appropriate solutions to resolve their problems .
Application : -
Now I am telling you the story of parents who have autistic child which I read on internet
few months back . This is the story of 10 years old James who is suffering from autism . When his parents got aware about illness they got worried and they could not understand how to deal with this . Like raising hand and running here and there , he used to shout , laugh and cry without any reason if someone asks his name then he used to repeat the question instead of telling his name . Many times he become violent and uncontrollable After facing such problems on daily basis games parents decided to take a help of councellor at councelling sessions James 's parents understand the behaviour of autistic person and the fact that if we restrict them from doing a particular activity they become more violent and uncontrollable . They understand how to control and behave with a autistic child . They started applying little tricks of engaging James in different activities like painting , crafting which helped James to divert his mind and focus on particular activity . They started spending more time with him which helped james to recover from the illness .
One day couple came in the organisation , they have a 10 years old boy whose name is
Bob . Bob is also suffering from autism and had a habit of throwing anything and everything what comes in front of him . One day he threw a knife and his Father got injured . Bob 's parents stared getting scared of him and decided to send him to the asylum . I understand their problem and while councelling sessions I told them the story of James who recovered from same illness .
And tell them about autistic children and their behaviour .
Insight & Approach : -
After listening to James 's story Bob 's parents felt motivated and they decided not to send
Bob to any asylum instead of that they started spending more time with him and making him engaged in various activities like playing indoor games which helped Bob to recover slowly and gradually from his illness .
This tool of storytelling is very helpful in communicating various thoughts and facts with
a clients . Every counseling organisation must adopt this tool to improve their productivity .

### Input: Reflection - Storytelling
Challenge & Selection : -
I use storytelling as a tool to communicate with my clients . Storytelling is a process of
using facts & narrative to communication sometimes to your audience . so this tool is very helpful which easily convey message to target audience . I am working as a junior counsellor in well known psychotheraputic organization . I conduct councelling sessions for parents who have autistic child . Such parents have to deal with a lot of stress , depression , anxiety and emotional imbalance . They are always worried about their child . They loses hopes as they think that their child will never have normal life and will have to struggle for rest of their life . Such parents need a proper guidance regarding how to deal with autistic child and understand their world . so that they will not face any problem handling their child . Such parents also need guidance regarding how to deal with their mental imbalance so that they can stay away from stress , depression and anxiety . I am help them to know that how to be motivated and empathetic about their children . I have studied some cases of autistic children and read many motivational stories of parents who helped their autistic child to live happy and motivated life with the help of proper councelling . But every parent has different story and struggle and those different stories helped me to understand different problems faced by them and according to that I can help them with a appropriate solutions to resolve their problems .
Application : -
Now I am telling you the story of parents who have autistic child which I read on internet
few months back . This is the story of 10 years old James who is suffering from autism . When his parents got aware about illness they got worried and they could not understand how to deal with this . Like raising hand and running here and there , he used to shout , laugh and cry without any reason if someone asks his name then he used to repeat the question instead of telling his name . Many times he become violent and uncontrollable After facing such problems on daily basis games parents decided to take a help of councellor at councelling sessions James 's parents understand the behaviour of autistic person and the fact that if we restrict them from doing a particular activity they become more violent and uncontrollable . They understand how to control and behave with a autistic child . They started applying little tricks of engaging James in different activities like painting , crafting which helped James to divert his mind and focus on particular activity . They started spending more time with him which helped james to recover from the illness .
One day couple came in the organisation , they have a 10 years old boy whose name is
Bob . Bob is also suffering from autism and had a habit of throwing anything and everything what comes in front of him . One day he threw a knife and his Father got injured . Bob 's parents stared getting scared of him and decided to send him to the asylum . I understand their problem and while councelling sessions I told them the story of James who recovered from same illness .
And tell them about autistic children and their behaviour .
Insight & Approach : -
After listening to James 's story Bob 's parents felt motivated and they decided not to send
Bob to any asylum instead of that they started spending more time with him and making him engaged in various activities like playing indoor games which helped Bob to recover slowly and gradually from his illness .
This tool of storytelling is very helpful in communicating various thoughts and facts with
a clients . Every counseling organisation must adopt this tool to improve their productivity .

Challenge & selection
As an industrial engineering student , I know that there will be many challenges in my work life , so the industrial engineer develops skills that allow the application of necessary tools for the prevention and solution of quality problems , production , logistics and human relations , in this case we can find that among the work personnel there may be difficulty of understanding , poor communication and thus carry out a bad performance , therefore I choose the storytelling tool because with it we can take the background of the problems that we face in a community as well as in the video of the week one the good kitchen story where we found the problem of the elderly and cooks , who did not have a good diet and were not giving quality food but all these challenges that they entailed were about not having good communication and why the elders were n't eating properly , but with the help of the narrative ion managed to reach a solution of it and thus improve in both parts .
Application & insight
The way to apply this way would be to create a health , mental health program where it helps and comforts workers physically and mentally , thus giving an advance and effectiveness in the workplace . By obtaining this type of space in a company , it can be ensured that the emotional and physical burden of the workers would improve , thus giving good results both in their work areas and at home , the fact of living loaded with worries and others make These do not have a good quality , but with the help of training in health , mental health they will have new possibilities of opening up to each other and giving the method of communication which leads us to the narrative .
Approach
.For the next time , what could be done is to use methods of arrival and approach with the worker in his workspace , taking into account the different perceptions of each one , it could be handled with surveys to know what his
field of work is like as a family member . To carry out a prevention of problems that would arise later , avoiding the inefficiency of the worker achieving a good work performance

Challenge
In my organization , which is a company of technological services , we mainly work in software development for companies in the financial sector , where a big part of the work consists in documenting the solutions that we implement for our clients .
We work according to the CMMI norm and we are certified in level 3 , which means that our processes are mostly aligned under said norm . However , we currently have difficulties with our team documenting their work according to the definition in the norm , we have tried to improve this process , but our efforts have been unfruitful , maybe because we have not targeted the source of the problem .
Because of this , we have decided to use the Mind Map tool to understand from the consumer point of view ( our workers ) the difficulties and strengths that our documenting process has and to be able to take measures according to the analysis made and not to our personal appreciation .
Selection
We decided to use the Mind Map tool to describe the experience of our teams during the documentation process of a Project , because we believe that it is the best tool to describe the current situation and would help us to determine the points to improve in the user experience .
However , we made a revision of the rest of the tools , but in our particular case we urgently needed to determine the real source of our problem .
Application
The first thing we did was to request authorization to our superiors to make the Mind Map , we had to explain that it was a technic that belongs to the Design Thinking and that it was focused to determine the current situation of our consumers , in this case , the software development teams . At the beginning there was a bit of resistance since they did not know the concepts , but when the methodology was explained , our chiefs thought it was interested and gave us their authorization .
After obtaining the authorization , we created the Mind Map of the documentation process under CMMI with the help of some members of the chiefs ’ board . On this phase something interesting happened , while describing the actual process , not even us were agreeing with the phases of the process , to each one of us there were different phases and even some of us did not know the mentioned phases . But after an enriching meeting we were all aligned with the definition of the process .
We finally chose 15 members of the software development team of different charges to complete the Mind Map . Position from position we were interviewing people obtaining very interesting results .
Insight
While applying the Mind Map we were able to determine the points with more discontent and probably the main sources of the problems of our documenting process . It is worth noting that we did not expect the type of response we got , moreover , we did not even have the slightest idea that there were such weak points in our process and that there were phases that we thought to be well addressed by our people , turned out to have the most negative experience .
On the other hand , the comments of our interviewees were unexpected , none of the documenting process responsible were aware of the problems reported , because of this the Mind Map was more than enriching , it was cathartic .
Approach
Applying the Mind Map was impactful ; we have tried to improve the experience of our people with the process before , but never focused to the weak points discovered with the use of the tool , which could be the reason why our efforts yielded no results .
With the entry obtained with the Mind Map , we have sufficient material to work in the next improvement phases , focusing on the weak points and in the real need of our consumers ( the software development team ) .
Knowing the Mind Map and the rest of the techniques of Design Thinking was a change of paradigm in terms of problem solving , our approach from now on will certainly be different , and we will continue using these techniques on every opportunity we get .

Ahmad Kumar
ABSTRACT The five essential entrepreneurial skills for success : Concentration , Discrimination , Organization ,
Innovation and Communication .
Ahmad Ahmad
VIVID PRESENTATION – BY ADAPTING “ STORY TELLING ”
Challenge : The story is about me and my name is Jose Kumar . A short brief about Jose is required as it carries relevance to challenge . He is working as “ Data Scientist ” in a reputed ACPS and carrying three years of experience in Analytics . Analytics as a subject requires in depth knowledge in Mathematics and Statistics . Very recently , he has been given a new responsibility of teaching or grooming associates / employees in same subject “ Analytics ” . Hence he was supposed to teach core Mathematics and Statistics as part of his subject and also part of training curriculum . Participants in his class were more business people and they showed more interest in business implication and not in core mathematics / statistics .This caused him to lac in gaining interest of people in his subject and definitely impacted as he always failed getting minimum satisfactory score .
So , it ’s known to him the main challenge was in his presentation / communication which failed to mitigate the gap between training curriculum , which carried core mathematics and statistics as it ’s subject and participant ’s need or requirement which was more on business implication .
Selection : Jose had taken help of tool called “ Story Telling ” from Design Thinking to address his challenge .From his perspective “ Story Telling ” is a unique tool to convey message by being in other man shoes .The stories are meant for audience / participants , so the process can grab attention of audience and also orator has control on the stories . Hence , using “ Story Telling ” tool orator can share moral or message he wanted to convey in controlled manner but in way audience wants to hear . So , the process of conveying lesson to participants become very interesting by grapping all attention participants .The process of story telling seems cream of crop . He was inspired by fact how Grand Mother feed their grand kids . Usually Grand Mother are seen to gather attention of kid towards her by telling stories which usually carries Moral and at same time she also completes her job of feeding the kid happily . So , this activity of story telling carried two good things as follows
i. Grand Mother could complete her job peacefully even not letting other person ( here the person is kid ) know the fact that they are in job ( here job is getting feed ) .
ii . Grand Mother shares Moral .
The above strategy of story telling came as big Idea for Jose and he felt in similar way job can be resumed by not letting other person know fact that they are learning core Mathematics and Statistics and as part of moral with all facts showing how Mathematics and Statistics theorems helped in earning Business revenue . He also believed Indian Sage Vishnu Sharma ( approx . in 3rd century BCE ) had adapted this theory while teaching his students and that birth to “ Panchatantra ” . Apart from Coursera course he also followed few links as follows which also motivated him
i. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Zuq92PUr5E
ii . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=al3-Kl4BDUQ
Application : “ Story Telling ” skill is not tough as it does n’t required c system brain to work much and x system of brain works much in the process . Jose , could convert all theorems and algorithms of mathematics and statistics in the form stories which can be part of any bodies life . Usually he used to take examples of his family , his son , his spouse . Taking an example on high level how he made business people understand “ Hypothesis testing ” in Statistics as follows .
Earlier he used to describe what is Alpha and how it is getting derived from confusion matrix , he also used to discuss on “ p ” value and other related subject on Hypothesis Testing . Traditional way of teaching used to make business people ( who used to be his participants ) defocused .Now he shared the same in different way taking instances of his family , where he had challenged his son if brings 95 above out of 100 in Mathematics in present monthly exam he will present him bicycle else he will give nothing . Saying this what it means Jose has given his son liberty to commit 5 or less mistakes . This threshold of 5 is called Significance figure . Audience by this time was enough interested , what next going happen to Jose ’s son . Jose continued , saying his son scored 96 out of 100 which means he committed 4 mistakes which
VIVID PRESENTATION – BY ADAPTING “ STORY TELLING ”
is less than significance figure hence he wins bet . This part in statistics is called “ Alternate Hypothesis ” as a change has occurred and what is change … .it ’s bi - cycle . If his son would have scored 93 out of 100 , it means he would have committed 7 mistakes which more than decided threshold which is also called Significance value . Hence no change occurs , which means Jose ’s son will not get bi - cycle . This process is called “ Null Hypothesis ” in statistics . Audience not only learnt these concepts very easily and also tried simulating the same with their life and also with business problems .
Insight : It is when Jose used to think “ minimum satisfactory score ” is big and main concern , he never could come up with new or creative idea . It ’s only when he got to know root cause for getting low score is “ Participant ’s Satisfaction ” he could come up with Innovation and could help himself and also participants by doing justice of sharing lessons in acceptable way . He learnt the fact , that it ’s only when he tried to understand the crisis based on Human centric / human need and not based on self need , it gave birth to INNOVATION / CREATIVITY .
Below picture depicts how Innovation is created . In Jose ’s scenario , “ Participant ’s Expectation ” was part of Desirability , “ Satisfaction Score ” was part of Viability and “ Story Telling ” is the technology adapted .
Reference : https://www.ideo.com/about/
Approach : Jose has plan of taking the same tool in client ’s negotiation . This is unique and effective tool for communication which buys client / observer / audience confidence by being in their shoes . It helps to develop deeper empathy in the present , and create more vivid images about the kind of new future . Clients / Audience feels confidence when they see Orator or Host is speaking something addressing their need . It wins trust of audience .
Hence , Jose “ Story telling ” is unique and perfect tool to propagate the potential and capability of Host Organization to client .
Conclusion : The “ story telling ” tool is flexible to be used in various challenges and one instance was taken and described in “ Application ” session and the other future application plan is described in “ Approach ” session . There is a very right saying by Dale Carnegie , “ The royal road to a man 's heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most ” , .

Apart from Coursera course he also followed few links as follows which also motivated him

ii . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=al3-Kl4BDUQ
Application : “ Story Telling ” skill is not tough as it does n’t required c system brain to work much and x system of brain works much in the process . Jose , could convert all theorems and algorithms of mathematics and statistics in the form stories which can be part of any bodies life . Usually he used to take examples of his family , his son , his spouse . Taking an example on high level how he made business people understand “ Hypothesis testing ” in Statistics as follows .
Earlier he used to describe what is Alpha and how it is getting derived from confusion matrix , he also used to discuss on “ p ” value and other related subject on Hypothesis Testing . Traditional way of teaching used to make business people ( who used to be his participants ) defocused .Now he shared the same in different way taking instances of his family , where he had challenged his son if brings 95 above out of 100 in Mathematics in present monthly exam he will present him bicycle else he will give nothing . Saying this what it means Jose has given his son liberty to commit 5 or less mistakes . This threshold of 5 is called Significance figure . Audience by this time was enough interested , what next going happen to Jose ’s son . Jose continued , saying his son scored 96 out of 100 which means he committed 4 mistakes which
VIVID PRESENTATION – BY ADAPTING “ STORY TELLING ”
is less than significance figure hence he wins bet . This part in statistics is called “ Alternate Hypothesis ” as a change has occurred and what is change … .it ’s bi - cycle . If his son would have scored 93 out of 100 , it means he would have committed 7 mistakes which more than decided threshold which is also called Significance value . Hence no change occurs , which means Jose ’s son will not get bi - cycle . This process is called “ Null Hypothesis ” in statistics . Audience not only learnt these concepts very easily and also tried simulating the same with their life and also with business problems .
Insight : It is when Jose used to think “ minimum satisfactory score ” is big and main concern , he never could come up with new or creative idea . It ’s only when he got to know root cause for getting low score is “ Participant ’s Satisfaction ” he could come up with Innovation and could help himself and also participants by doing justice of sharing lessons in acceptable way . He learnt the fact , that it ’s only when he tried to understand the crisis based on Human centric / human need and not based on self need , it gave birth to INNOVATION / CREATIVITY .
Below picture depicts how Innovation is created . In Jose ’s scenario , “ Participant ’s Expectation ” was part of Desirability , “ Satisfaction Score ” was part of Viability and “ Story Telling ” is the technology adapted .

Approach : Jose has plan of taking the same tool in client ’s negotiation . This is unique and effective tool for communication which buys client / observer / audience confidence by being in their shoes . It helps to develop deeper empathy in the present , and create more vivid images about the kind of new future . Clients / Audience feels confidence when they see Orator or Host is speaking something addressing their need . It wins trust of audience .
Hence , Jose “ Story telling ” is unique and perfect tool to propagate the potential and capability of Host Organization to client .
Conclusion : The “ story telling ” tool is flexible to be used in various challenges and one instance was taken and described in “ Application ” session and the other future application plan is described in “ Approach ” session . There is a very right saying by Dale Carnegie , “ The royal road to a man 's heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most ” , .

Challenge
I am working for a big IT Consulting company . I ’m part of a team which is responsible for dealing with Enterprise Resource Planning ( ERP ) systems . Recently , I joined a project where our customer ( a fortune 500 corporation ) migrated their ERP operations from a rather old software version to a very newer software version . This planned migration took about one and a half years to complete , which is the normal time frame for complex and large - scale IT transformations . Now , during all this time , enhancement requests * from different business units of the client were naturally kept on hold . So , the number of such requests went on increasing . After the successful go - live , few new members including myself joined the team and our task was to effectively and efficiently deal with the pending enhancement requests . * An enhancement request is meant to improve some specific process from the systems perspective , which eventually helps a business in saving time and money .
Selection
We decided to use the Learning Launch tool . The plan was to pick only a handful of requests from the pool and drive those requests from their design to completion . The less number of requests would ensure a short time frame . The idea behind it was to observe the process / stages to find out what ’s working and what ’s causing issues . It would also let us know the challenges so that we can possibly modify our approach while scaling out . Initially , there were some concerns from client side but after holding a detailed discussion , we were able to convince them with our plan . We reckoned that it was our best bet to learn from one short execution cycle , later do full scale implementation(s ) and keep the whole business with us . On this project , I was working in the capacity of IT Business Analyst cum Functional Consultant .
Lecture Reference : https://www.coursera.org/learn/uva-darden-design-thinking innovation / lecture / F04r6 / learning - launch - tool
Application
We requested business champions of different business units ( spanning across EU , APAC , LATAM , MEA and Americas ) to cherry - pick some requests which they wanted us to work on a priority basis . We reviewed these requests and found that few of the requests were very complex in nature . Then , we had a meeting with business champions and were able to convince them that deferring some of these requests would be in everyone ’s interest . Total pool of requests was 250 + . The pool of requests was not static but growing because client ’s users across geographies were using the new ERP system and discovering some new gaps or coming up with “ should have ” features or “ Wish - Lists ” . These requests were vetted and then finally added to the pool by a separate team ( client ’s customer care ) .
We initially got about 22 requests to work upon but we mutually agreed to pick 16 requests for the initial learning launch . Then , some quick follow - up discussions were held where we finalized the design . After that , a team of four developers and a technical lead had two weeks to finish the work . I was closely coordinating with the team and also testing the requirements as soon as the technical lead was done with his review . This helped the team with timely inputs and initial feedback . With this strategy , we entered the CRP ( Conference Room Pilot ) phase within three weeks of the kick - off date . Then , much of the activities followed as they usually do in a SDLC i.e. User testing , issue
reporting and resolution and then full - fledged SIT . In SIT , apart from the requesters , other key users were also invited to test the new functionalities . Some new issues were also logged and development worked to resolve those issues as quickly as possible . Then , we reached the FAT phase and it was mostly smooth . We migrated the new functionalities to client ’s new production system in a little over two months . It was well received by business champions and the work was greatly appreciated .
Now , to some of us , two months may sound like a lot of time but in ERP space , it is not . It ’s because the deliverables have to meet the established quality standards and they also have an impact on how clients do their business . But from this ‘ Learning Launch ’ , we learnt a lot of things . We actually ended up making a SharePoint page for recording ‘ Lessons Learnt ’ and it was open to every team member . This exercise equipped us with the right tools and provided us an opportunity to fine - tune our strategy . It provided us with the confidence boost to deal with the remaining pool of requests . It did n’t surprise us when we found out that some new requests have also been logged during this intermediate time . This was going to be a constant stream of business for us and value - add for the client ’s operations . Based on the feedback from the concerned stakeholders , client was more than convinced that it would be a worthy idea to make this a long term iterative project .
Insight
As mentioned above , we created a ‘ Lessons Learnt ’ page . There were several insights , a few of those are listed below :
Most of the requests were marked as ‘ Global ’ ( impacting all business units ) by client ’s customer care and hence they were developed as such . While in reality , some of these were raised by a particular business unit and had no value - add for other business units . In fact , there were two requests which caused issues for multiple business units . Subsequently , we came up with a mechanism to control the applicability . So , learning was to ensure that the requests were truly global .
An associated learning was to conduct a detailed cost - benefit analysis , especially for the requests which were applicable for a particular business unit only . This action was on client ’s customer care team .
We realized that some of the third party system which were needed for testing the developed requests were down or behaving erratically in the demo environments . We had to do a lot of coordination with other vendors and client ’s team to make it work . So , going forward , we added a prerequisite related to the functioning of all third party system .
There was a three - year - old request in the backlog and it made it to our Learning Launch list . During CRP , business realized that they no longer want it since the associated operation has changed since then . So , it was decided to have an additional review process in case the request is more than one - year - old . Only after the review , requests would get picked up by the development team .
Without the Learning launch , a full - scale project would have been so difficult for us to execute and most likely marred with several problems !
Approach
In future , I would also like to deploy the Mind Mapping tool . In my line of work , Mind Mapping could be useful during several stages of a project . While dealing with complex projects of a large scale , it would be good to identify all the concerned stakeholders and bring them to a table ( could be virtual / video conferences for team placed in different geographies ) . For instance , Representatives from business side could talk about different functional and technical aspects and the results they are expecting from the project . Delivery team could talk about the challenges and risks that they think could become a roadblock . In this manner , very interesting insights could be derived . These insights could be categorized into several parts . It would allow creation of Action Lists , Mitigation Plans , List of checkpoints et cetera . All the moving pieces would be visible to everyone and how are they connected to each other and then how everything is related to one central vision of the project . Use of whiteboards in these meetings would really aid in describing the flows , diagrams and ideas .
Many of the ‘ Lessons learnt ’ which I have described in the previous section could have been discovered quite early , if we were to use the Mind Mapping approach . Going forward , my strategy would be to use a combination of Mind Mapping and Learning Launch . I would also strive to shorten the time frame of Learning Launch and appeal for increased participation from the stakeholders to have additional inputs for innovation and optimum solution design .

Challenge and Selection :
The tool that I have chosen to address my case was the Learning Launch . As explained in the course by Shovon Hossain 's colleague , Fritzsche , the Learning Launch is a more appropriate way of dealing with the pilot program . This why a pilot program already interacts directly with the target audience and this is not the goal . The goal is that we can test ideas and may withdraw them if they need adjustments , corrections , or are simply non - functional and should be removed . The Learning Launch allows ideas to be tested quickly and at low cost manner , thus enabling a wide range of tests and corrections .
The case that I will address is that of a restaurant of one of my main clients . This is a bar with traditional Brazilian food offering everything from snacks to meals for 2 - 3 people . They work only at night , Monday to Monday , in the city of Fortaleza , Brazil . A few weeks ago , the numbers began to point out that sales were declining . Some of the usual customers did not attend more to the restaurant and it was bothering the owner . After doing a survey with the help of our database we found that customers who already were there for more than five years were upset by the fact that the restaurant had ever new dishes and one of the main dishes of the restaurant , the fries they were getting cold on the table , because the restaurant has no roof . Application : After we meet with the manager of the kitchen and the other partner , we decided to deploy a product that was not only fries . It was decided that we would create a variety of flavors of fries - based cheeses , but we did not know what would be the best . So , the restaurant invited 40 major customers for a tasting at no cost . served were 12 small portions of different combinations of fries with cheese , including : mozzarella , gorgonzola , parmesan , cheddar , provolone and dish . However , customers did not know what were the cheeses in those portions . The dishes were just numbered . Customers were then given cards to vote in numbers , with scores of 0 - 5 in the categories of : temperature , taste , flavor , dish presentation and value for money . The two fries with higher grades and entered the menu every two months there is a relay between the combinations to prevent customers from getting bored again . One of the highlights was the cheese has to keep the temperature of fries . Insight and Approach : With this tool , we can observe to do small tests instead of pilots dramatically reduce costs and stress that can be caused by the release of a wrong product . First , if we had not made a private event tasting for special customers , they would never have experienced these dishes . They would have been released and we would not know which of the 12 combinations should start . It would be a shot in the dark , with only the luck to hit . How do we identify that 2 of the dishes were worshiped by most guests ( 46 approvals for 50 guests ) , we did not have unnecessary expenses with marketing and production of a product that does not work . Moreover , we can empathize and narrowed further the relationship with customers who felt apart , but now have an even greater affection for the restaurant .
Next time , maybe we invite some of the most assiduous and faithful customers to participate in our brainstorming . The restaurant has a family atmosphere and is open for 17 years . Many of the guests who attend , do since its opening and have great affection for the place . Their participation in the brainstorming and I sit with some clients during their visits to the restaurant facilitate immersion and we predict this kind of problem before it occurs .

My team was presented with the challenge to design a common online platform that would address the various needs of 3 different customers in our value chain , 1 ) The Distributor – to whom we sell our roofing materials , 2 ) The Contractor – the company that buys roofing materials from the Distributor and installs for the Property Owner , 3 ) The Property Owner – the individual who is making the purchase for the new roof and warranty . The challenge lies in being able to develop a robust technical architecture in the backend , while supporting the front end needs of 3 different user personas .
Selection In order to understand the customer experiences of multiple personas , I selected the Visualization Tool to solve for this complex problem . Referring to the video lecture of Angela Myer , an experienced designer , I understand that a Visualization Tool is akin to Visual Thinking and offers a way to see things using pictures and diagramming . It would offer the ideal method for unlocking different parts of our brains to think of new imaginative ideas and to communicate with a very large group of stakeholders in non - verbal ways . In particular , I want to explore the experiences of 3 types of customers using Journey Mapping
Application I set up multiple brainstorming sessions to map the Customer ’s Journey . Separate meetings were set up with each group of stakeholders for the 3 different user personas . In other words , there were a set of meetings exclusively for the Distributor stakeholders , and then another set of meetings exclusively for the Contractor stakeholders and then finally a 3rd set of meetings exclusively for the Property Owner stakeholders . Within these groups of stakeholders , we had a diverse group of people , ranging from IT to sales to marketing to customer support . By holding 3 different sets of exclusive brainstorming sessions , we were able to focus on the journey of 1 persona at a time , without being distracted or having biases towards the other personas . The outputs of these meetings were large visual diagrams of the Customer Journey . At the conclusion of these exclusive sessions , we brought the stakeholders together for a large collaboration session , at which time we were able to overlay the 3 journeys to find common ground and differences . The combination of the exclusive sessions followed by the collaborative session was highly effective because we were able to focus at first and then take in a view of the entire picture .
Insight One of the major insights gained from the brainstorming sessions is that each persona desired high visibility into certain parts of the roof buying and installation process , but there were other parts that were not of interest to them . We would have guessed as much , but using the visualization tool allowed us to see where the common touchpoints were across the 3 user personas . This insight will enable our data and solution architects to consider how best to structure and serve up the data . Finding these patterns may not have been possible using a more analytical tool .
Approach The Journey Mapping tool was extremely effective . We were able to visualize the path that each of the user personas in our ecosystem takes when they are drawing value from our company . This also
provides us insight into the problems that they face , giving us an opportunity to solve the problems . We could have utilized Story Telling in addition to the Visualization tool . Each persona has a story and it might have been very interesting to listen to first hand accounts of each of our user personas ( what is a typical day for them ) , and perhaps we could have gained further insight from hearing the reactions from other personas , because while their paths are different , there are some overlapping touchpoints . These unique interactions between our 3 personas might provide us with a new opportunity for customer collaboration , resulting in faster value delivered .

### Input: Challenge I am an IT Business Analyst at a Roofing Manufacturing company . My team was presented with the challenge to design a common online platform that would address the various needs of 3 different customers in our value chain , 1 ) The Distributor – to whom we sell our roofing materials , 2 ) The Contractor – the company that buys roofing materials from the Distributor and installs for the Property Owner , 3 ) The Property Owner – the individual who is making the purchase for the new roof and warranty . The challenge lies in being able to develop a robust technical architecture in the backend , while supporting the front end needs of 3 different user personas .
Selection In order to understand the customer experiences of multiple personas , I selected the Visualization Tool to solve for this complex problem . Referring to the video lecture of Angela Myer , an experienced designer , I understand that a Visualization Tool is akin to Visual Thinking and offers a way to see things using pictures and diagramming . It would offer the ideal method for unlocking different parts of our brains to think of new imaginative ideas and to communicate with a very large group of stakeholders in non - verbal ways . In particular , I want to explore the experiences of 3 types of customers using Journey Mapping
Application I set up multiple brainstorming sessions to map the Customer ’s Journey . Separate meetings were set up with each group of stakeholders for the 3 different user personas . In other words , there were a set of meetings exclusively for the Distributor stakeholders , and then another set of meetings exclusively for the Contractor stakeholders and then finally a 3rd set of meetings exclusively for the Property Owner stakeholders . Within these groups of stakeholders , we had a diverse group of people , ranging from IT to sales to marketing to customer support . By holding 3 different sets of exclusive brainstorming sessions , we were able to focus on the journey of 1 persona at a time , without being distracted or having biases towards the other personas . The outputs of these meetings were large visual diagrams of the Customer Journey . At the conclusion of these exclusive sessions , we brought the stakeholders together for a large collaboration session , at which time we were able to overlay the 3 journeys to find common ground and differences . The combination of the exclusive sessions followed by the collaborative session was highly effective because we were able to focus at first and then take in a view of the entire picture .
Insight One of the major insights gained from the brainstorming sessions is that each persona desired high visibility into certain parts of the roof buying and installation process , but there were other parts that were not of interest to them . We would have guessed as much , but using the visualization tool allowed us to see where the common touchpoints were across the 3 user personas . This insight will enable our data and solution architects to consider how best to structure and serve up the data . Finding these patterns may not have been possible using a more analytical tool .
Approach The Journey Mapping tool was extremely effective . We were able to visualize the path that each of the user personas in our ecosystem takes when they are drawing value from our company . This also
provides us insight into the problems that they face , giving us an opportunity to solve the problems . We could have utilized Story Telling in addition to the Visualization tool . Each persona has a story and it might have been very interesting to listen to first hand accounts of each of our user personas ( what is a typical day for them ) , and perhaps we could have gained further insight from hearing the reactions from other personas , because while their paths are different , there are some overlapping touchpoints . These unique interactions between our 3 personas might provide us with a new opportunity for customer collaboration , resulting in faster value delivered .

Our learning programs are designed with a heavy faculty model . This structure ensures senior individuals / leaders of the Firm are present for our learning programs and allows for a faculty member to facilitate the small breakout group sessions . The breakout group sessions have 5 participants each thereby creating a requirement for faculty to be present for each group of 5 participants . This creates a requirement of 6 faculty to be present for a group of 30 participants – our typical class size . As you can imagine , scheduling this number of faculty for large numbers of programs throughout the year is very challenging . Given this challenge , we developed a list of ideas to test reducing the faculty number . These ideas included 1 ) increasing the size of the breakout groups , 2 ) giving participants the responsibility to lead their own breakout groups and 3 ) rotating faculty across multiple breakout groups .
Selection and Application
We selected the learning launch tool to test our ideas . We selected 20 % of our programs and tested the 3 ideas across the programs . We did not let the participants know there was any change – hoping that they would not go into the program with any biases . We implemented the guidance provided by Ed Hess in the Week 4 content . We thought about
- What we needed to confirm and disconfirm the idea and - The quantity and quality of the data .
We structured survey questions to understand the value and impact of the session in the new format as compared to the old format . We tested for the impact on the participants ’ ability to practice and develop the new skill at the end of the program . We also tested the longer - term impact by surveying the group 100 days after the program . We compared the results from the programs with the new faculty models with the results from programs in the old format . The team implementing and evaluating the change consisted of learning team members and experienced program faculty . It was important to test the ideas and collect data and facts . The ‘ old ’ faculty format had been used for years and we needed enough high - quality data to feel confident that a change could be made without negatively effecting the experience and impact of the learning program .
Insight
By testing the different approaches , we were able to uncover what worked well and what did not . Some key takeaways are as follows :
- Slightly larger groups had no significant negative effect on experience or impact at the end of program or 100 days out - The conversation during the participant led sessions was rich and felt more risk- free - Participants needed the most guidance at the start of a session as sometimes the groups did not start off on strong footing - Once participants began a participant led session , it was hard for a faculty member to enter the room – it did not feel natural
These insights helped us think about other new ideas and we questioned whether we were being bold enough in our thinking . We asked ourselves
- How large could the groups get before there was a real negative impact ? - What are the key roles that the faculty need to play vs. remain in the room for the entire time ? For example , at kick - off to explain the activity . - Are their different models for how the sessions are scheduled ( stagger sessions ) to maximize the time of the faculty ?
The debriefs of the data included the learning team and faculty . We did not include the learners except for collecting the feedback results . More engagement from the learners would help to better understand and develop a learner driven solution .
Approach
The learning launch tool worked well to test our ideas . We were careful about the quantity and quality of the data . We were focused on building data driven insights . All these aspects of the learning launch approach worked well . Where I believe we could improve on our implementation of design thinking is in the up - front stages and team structure . Jasim ’s comment about initial data collection can be small – not to confirm an idea but to inspire idea generation – resonated with me . This idea generation area is an area where I feel we could improve the next time . Additionally , I also believe we could structure the team with a more diverse set of individuals . Our team was largely staffed with learning team members . We should include the learners more in the idea generation process and in understanding the impact of the results .

The app named ‘ Wollega ’ supplies highly accurate and free medical advice to in need patients through accessing and interrogating open source medical information . The product is in the format of a ChatBot which plugs into open source government data supplied by the UK National Health Service and provides patients with accurate diagnosis and treatment recommendations for mild conditions . The main challenge was to launch and validate the product with a select group of people which will enable the product to :
- Gain credibility within the medical community
- Gain funding for future iterations
- Uncover new medical data with private institutions who are impressed with the product
- Gain trust and references with users who may use this product in the future
- Provide quantitative feedback on the product which can be used for future iterations
- Gather as much information as possible which can be stored and used for the products accuracy .
Selection : To successfully validate the prototype , we conducted a live ‘ Learning Launch ’ at the Automation & Robotics medical conference in San Diego . The conference was an specialised event to showcase new tech within the medical and pharmaceutical industry which is the marketplace our product Wollega sits . The audience included members of the public , medical practitioners , insurance companies and financial institutions . A combination of support , buy in , trust and testimonials were needed from all four attendee types in order to deem the product validated and viable for market entry . I selected a Learning Launch at this conference as it provided a platform for interacting with the key audiences that are needed to validate and scrutinise the prototype . As conferences are high in traffic and fast in pace it provides an opportunity to speak to a high number of relevant persons which will give me high quality and a good quantity of data .
I previously have used a learning launch with an event management platform at a Tech Conference , what I have already learnt from using Learning Launches is the need to run the product with over 30 people , for this reason we had 8 people running conference site store , with an expectation that each person would engage 20 people throughout the day ensuring the day provides extensive feedback and statistically significant data for any interactions needed for launch . The reference material provided in week 3 of the Design Thinking Course , ‘ The IBM Story ’ provided me with knowledge on the environment and space needed to better interact with participants vs other stalls at the conference ( https://www.coursera.org/learn/uva-darden-design-thinking- innovation / lecture / iq0kE / the - ibm - story )
Application : The Learning Launch consisted of a stall in the middle of the conference where users came through and interacted with a product demonstrator . Key features of the stall included :
- No walls , meaning many people can see through and feel invited to pass through
- Soft flooring , meaning people felt comfortable and rested within the store
- Light music , creating a relaxing environment
- Positive imagery , helping people realise this is a human based product
- Medical professionals have been hired ( but wo n’t be openly advertising they are this role until after simulations ) to manage the product demonstrations .
- 8 demonstrators to maximise data collection
The participant who entered into the stall at the conference will run through the following experience :
- Demonstrators will ask persons to sit and talk about the last time they were ill .
- The demonstrator will take down key information and enter it into the chatbot Wollega
- The Chabot Wollega will then run these criteria and make a diagnosis
- The participant will confirm if accurate
- The Chabot Wollega will then recommend a treatment
- The participant will confirm if the treatment is the same or differs from the course taken .
- Post the simulation the demonstrator will reveal they are a medical practitioner and will speak with the participant to either confirm or challenge the diagnosis provided and insight into how the product works .
- A testimonial will then be provided along with feedback and a request for us to store their test information .
The learning launch provided a scenario where people hopefully have their Wollega diagnosis confirmed by two sources , providing trust and credibility with the product . The learning launch and it ’s part was implemented successfully however some elements could be improved for future learning launches as will be described in the Insight section . Insight : The biggest takeout / insight from the Learning Launch was the need to reduce noise and traffic within the conference stall . The high noise volume from the conference meant that people would have to speak loudly to compete with the background noise , this created a secondary problem where people felt uncomfortable to speak about their previous medical history , as they felt they were communicating to a wider audience and not just the practitioner . While the amount of data collected was sufficient the trust element from a relationship perspective was hard to establish . I am satisfied with the buy in from stakeholders but additional PR will need to be completed in order to prove it ’s success and market entry . I think this challenged my perception on environments in which is use Learning Launches in the design thinking process as the environment can be just as significant as the audience being tested , it also helped me rethink the timing of a learning launch vs the audience m trying to engage . For a future Learning Launch I would focus on one industry group / audience type at a time . Approach : For an alternate approach , I would still maintain the use of a learning launch as it did provide a successful scenario for engaging key industry professionals , however the key difference would be in its application in order to engage members of the public and build trust and word of mouth amplification of the product . I feel if post the learning launch public trust was my biggest barrier so I would need to apply the learning launch in two scenarios , a private ( one already conducted at the conference ) , in addition to a public one where I can engage and wow members of the public . In this public scenario , I would include walls on three of the four activation stall sides to reduce noise , I would select a lower foot traffic area so time spent with participants could be extended and more personalised and provide seating . This would help build comfort and security when discussing personal matters , it would also allow for more time to collect qualitative data on each patient and in turn provide a higher success rate of patients allowing us to store and use their data for future product improvement ( as the product accuracy is reliant on vast collection ) .

Design Thinking Tool : Storytelling ( Module 2 )
Challenge
I am technical manager with organization and sales responsibilities for a new line of products within the
company . The new line of products requires highly technical information and the sales process lies
heavily on the partnership between the technical manager and the sales manager . There are several
sales managers located in specific territories within the country , and they interact with their customers
on a weekly or monthly basis . Even though application and contacts are most of the time the same , the
sales group has experience and training on a different line of products than the one I am responsible for .
Therefore , sales managers feel “ forced ” to get out of their comfort zone to explore new sales
opportunities and interact with different stakeholders . This task had created a discomfort in the group .
As sales managers are not comfortable with the new products and concepts , the interaction with the
technical team gets compromised and ultimately compromises the business . The main challenge when
the new products came in the portfolio was to motivate sales team by giving proper training ,
demystifying the barriers with new products , and building trust with technical team members .
Selection
Storytelling was the tool of my choice because the goal was to address the “ difference between solving
a problem and creating a cause ” described in the “ Storytelling Tool ” video by Manu Do . The idea
was to use storytelling to avoid the classic meeting set up of PowerPoint and problems listing and
discussion between the technical and sales group . Meetings had been usually interesting and ideas were
generated ; nevertheless , past the meetings , the ideas discussed did not go into action . Following the
description that “ a cause is something that ignites people and unites people ” , storytelling could
potentially help solving the challenge of creating a team work between technical and sales to shape
knowledge and access customers . Inspiring and motivating the sales group was the main step towards
reaching the sales opportunities .
Application
Within the sales group , one of the sales managers , before retiring , had a different approach and broke
out of his comfort zone with the new product , by using his knowledge and contacts in combination with
the technical team skills . This generated a good story of a successful partnership between technical
members and a sales person that led into sales and further product usage expansion . The story was
reinforced with trial data and sales figures and used to get the attention of the rest of the sales group .
The idea was not to “ sell ” it as a formula , but to be an inspiration and serve as an example where
someone with the same “ limitations ” trusted a technical counterpart and worked together to achieve a
goal . However , sales team convinced themselves that such story was only true because their
counterpart had more time than they actually had and the accounts were smaller with easier changes of
success . Even though some facts were relatively true , sales group convinced themselves that this
scenario would not work for them and went back to status quo .
Insight
Even though the successful story could catch their attention , it was clearly not enough to create
motivation . As described in the video of George & Geoff , “ we approach things that are pleasurable and
avoid things that are painful ” . For several reasons , this topic was still “ painful ” and unachievable by the
sales team . The technical team had to transform their view of the challenges into a view of
opportunities , something rather “ pleasurable ” to be able to achieve successful sales .
Approach
Next approach is to present new possibilities and show that there is a way to get this solved . By
“ transforming ” their mind into thinking they do n’t need to have all accounts at first , but rather focus on
small wins . Small wins could be very similar to the wins from their counterpart story and would lead us
for bigger wins in the upcoming years . Also , to raise the level of engagement when the comes to
technical , one next approach is to change the presentation of trials results into a more visual image , to
get the concepts easily “ digested ” by sales team to help them increase their confidence on the new
products .

### Input: Peer - graded Assignment : Reflection August 25 , 2019
Design Thinking Tool : Storytelling ( Module 2 )
Challenge
I am technical manager with organization and sales responsibilities for a new line of products within the
company . The new line of products requires highly technical information and the sales process lies
heavily on the partnership between the technical manager and the sales manager . There are several
sales managers located in specific territories within the country , and they interact with their customers
on a weekly or monthly basis . Even though application and contacts are most of the time the same , the
sales group has experience and training on a different line of products than the one I am responsible for .
Therefore , sales managers feel “ forced ” to get out of their comfort zone to explore new sales
opportunities and interact with different stakeholders . This task had created a discomfort in the group .
As sales managers are not comfortable with the new products and concepts , the interaction with the
technical team gets compromised and ultimately compromises the business . The main challenge when
the new products came in the portfolio was to motivate sales team by giving proper training ,
demystifying the barriers with new products , and building trust with technical team members .
Selection
Storytelling was the tool of my choice because the goal was to address the “ difference between solving
a problem and creating a cause ” described in the “ Storytelling Tool ” video by Manu Do . The idea
was to use storytelling to avoid the classic meeting set up of PowerPoint and problems listing and
discussion between the technical and sales group . Meetings had been usually interesting and ideas were
generated ; nevertheless , past the meetings , the ideas discussed did not go into action . Following the
description that “ a cause is something that ignites people and unites people ” , storytelling could
potentially help solving the challenge of creating a team work between technical and sales to shape
knowledge and access customers . Inspiring and motivating the sales group was the main step towards
reaching the sales opportunities .
Application

Challenge
I am working in a Learning and development firm , from quite sometime and my major work is to design programs for Behavioural trainings . My target is to create as many training contents for our Business clients in order to increase revenue and to spend business budgets on the right campaigns of our programs . We need to develop more vILT ( Virtual instructor led training ) programs as compared to ILT ( Instructor led training ) courses due to more promising features and results of vILT programs .
The project scope included the business development department , social media as well as content development team , with whom we work closely . The project was restricted to internal resources in terms of , budget and employee time . The project had a strict deadline of 40 business days and the solution should include a successful delivery of atleast one vILT course . We focussed on trying to uncover what our team members , as well as key stakeholders considered to be ineffective or challenging with respect to selling of content for our business .
Selection
We explored various design thinking activities / tools , so we were prepared to try the learning launch tool . Precisely , the learning launch is an experiment meant to quickly assess an idea and sample / prototype .
Application
In our initial learning launch , we focused on the structure / execution of our training content and social media tasks to market our programs . Particularly , we wanted to see if we could structure our tasks , projects , and processes to adapt to the need of our clients in an effort to become more agile . This tested our assumption that the structure and execution were the main causes of our business challenge . Our team went through a four - day training with a leading vILT course provider platform .
Then , we went through a series of meetings and discussions with various providers of elearning portals to structure our tasks and delivery in a more streamlined manner . These meetings or discussions occurred within a five - week timeframe . We expected to produce a document of our process map with a clear description of our new , more streamlined processes of content development .
In our phase two- learning launch , we focused on achieving precision about our process and priorities . This tested our hypothesis of prioritization of tasks and designing content to make it more attractive and insightful virtually , and this was the main cause of our business challenge to shift from an ILT provider to vILT provider . Our team launched a dummy vILT course via one of the service provider ’s portal using their LMS ( Learning management system ) , with five key stakeholders from our company and five stakeholders from the portal provider ’s side as participants , to test the effectiveness of our behavioural training program .
The training program was followed by a participant feedback form which included questions about our new , proposed process of delivering training , understanding the concepts covered in the
program , and feelings about the program , and feedback was collected within few hours after the training ended .
Insight
By utilizing the learning launch tool , we discovered the assumptions and designed launches to assess these assumptions . We were quite clear that a more agile approach would improve our business in Learning and development vertical , and that both our team and the key stakeholders would agree to the new prioritization or development of tasks and process .
The real outputs were slightly different from what we anticipated but we were open to the development of tasks and processes and also the key stakeholders in our organisation and elearning portal provider expressed some concerns . Our team will analyse this insight and feedback and integrate it into future launch designs .
Approach
Understanding that our team has gone through certain design thinking activities / tools and at this stage in the timeline , the learning launch is the most apt tool . We need to review the insight gained from our initial launches and integrate this insight into future launch designs . Future launch designs has to reflect insight gained , improvement made , and a fascinating solution ready for full implementation .

Challenge
As the global economy is becoming more and more connected , the aviation industry is one of the fastest transportation sectors . Aviation industries handling enormous amount of customer data way from check - in to exit . However , airlines lack in the provision of personalized offers to their esteemed customers on board . Having expertise in airline domain , we had identified that less utilization of customer data will be crucial to future airline growth . Our loyalty programme client approached us to identify the potential customers from airline generated data which enables them to send personalized offers /benefits to attract to the loyalty programme . We found an opportunity over here and decided to use design thinking to extract insights .
Selection
As per my experience , perceptions of each person may vary for same problem statement . More perceptions , more ideas will be born . After careful analyze , I decided to use mind mapping tool to define various solution strategies for the above stated problem . I felt mind map tool was the perfect choice for this situation which will bring both client and me on the same page to understand the exact requirement . Mind map tools are more visual and easier to understand , In addition I feel mind mapping is a powerful tool that allows to be more structured , in position to find great solutions and able to gather data in easier way .
Application
I did a research over internet for the best suitable mind mapping tool in market which suits with the challenge . Finally , I selected MindGenius mind mapping tool which structure your ideas in a visually appealing way with an assortment of colors and photos from their built - in image library .
We had captured various aspects of requirements from the brainstorming sessions with domain experts . With the help of mindGenius , I aligned and mapped various components and resources to illustrate the process flow . This helped us to validate our solution matched with client requirement .
Insights
By using mind map tools our team identified several sub goals and milestones . We learnt that it was easier to align the requirements in a visual format than in writing notes . Clients provided immediate feedbacks to the maps as they could relate to the visual representation easily . Mind map tool really help to understand the problem and then to convert it into a precise solution .
Approach
In future , I would be more proactive to use these tools to their capacity . An internal brainstorming session will be useful in scenarios where the client may not have full understanding of their requirements .

Challenge & Selection
I ’m a learning and development specialist in our customer service organisation . Recently five client facing departments have been merged and my mission was to create a new uniform training landscape for all the five units . It sounded quite simple at the beginning but as soon as we started to interview the respective trainers , leaders and employees , we discovered that there was a complexity we did n’t expect . The existing trainings were conducted differently in each area . Training documents were partly electronic , digitised or not available at all , in some areas training was very structured and on schedule and in other areas there were no documents and no schedules in place . It was a huge challenge since there are more than 500 employees in total and the departments differed in size , offering , goals and particularly in corporate culture . One representative from each area was assigned as support for the project . They were not very keen to contribute solutions since the overall vision was not very clear and they already had more than enough to do with their respective daily business . The general attitude was , everything works , why should we change anything ? Why should we standardize something ? The resistance was unexpectedly high before we even started our workshops . I decided to proceed slowly and deliberately and tried to consider the resistance as a gift . I knew that if we did not have the project members on board , we would not be successful in the long run . I clearly communicated to my superiors that we were encountering resistance that was in my opinion only marginally related to the training amendments we wanted to make . I was looking for a new approach to our task since the main challenge was human - centered . So we needed a deep understanding of the actual people involved and decided to use visualization and storytelling in our workshops to understand better what really mattered to the people .
Application
We started the first workshop with building a common understanding on how we would like to work together in our project group . I brought different coaching cards ( A4 photo cards with people , situations , nature etc . ) and everyone could choose one or more images , which represented a mosaic piece of the desired culture for them . They were also invited to draw what came to their minds . It was so interesting to see that we found our first common ground . People were suddenly more relaxed , some were even laughing and opening up . This creative visualization approach was only the start . We found a working and learning culture that everyone could identify with . A next task was to create a proposal for a high level training landscape without paying attention to all the details and differences in each area . We all came up with standard Power Point presentations with the common boxes and arrows . The whole creativity approach was stifled , we all did what we can do best – creating slides that correspond with the expectations of the management and the corporate identity . We were under a lot of time pressure , we had to finally deliver . We definitely needed more time if we wanted to come up with a better solution . Right from the start we wanted to pack our training landscape into a story . Something that appeals to the emotions and everyone can connect something with it . In a workshop we collected , drew and wrote ideas together and then we prioritized the ideas with points . It was so interesting how many ideas we came up with . There was even space for crazy ideas something we were n’t used to in a business context . Then we started to draw the main ideas on big posters and showed them to other stakeholders . The feedbacks were very open and some ideas had to be amended , to others we had to say goodbye and very few were popular . In the end we decided to present our training landscape as a globe , the individual areas as countries , everything interconnected and yet individual .
Insight
We have n't been able to identify many synergies yet ( training wise ) but we have been able to define a common culture as a starting point and we found a common image that we also can relate to . We have realized that we can come up with great ideas as individuals but also as a team . We can tell our employees a story and back it up with a meaningful image . The whole process made us strong as a team and everyone that was involved saw how the idea was created , everyone knows how much work it took and we are all more than happy with the result . It took much longer than usual – but the extra time invested was absolutely worth it . During the process the resistance has become smaller as the members felt that the management and the project leader took their inputs and ideas very seriously . They were really part of the process and realized that nothing was simply decided without consideration for the people who are ultimately allowed to implement it .

Juan Romero
Challenge
Many tools of the design thinking process are used to understand human behavior in UX ( User Experience ) environments . The most used tool to communicate fast and with effectiveness is the Mind Mapping Tool , because it can be the perfect communication bridge between the users , designers and engineers . I use this approach often with the co - working groups to achieve a channel where everyone can understand the what , where , how , when and why of any project . In all stages of the project we bring users to understand the procedures , by making a broad board which can represent the user from any part of the mind mapping in all of its stages . By applying this methodology , we can assure that customers are more likely to understand the communication process between the company and the final user , were upgrades and future tools can be implemented progressively to endure the learning curve of the users with the interfaces we design and develop .
Application
We start the mind mapping by bringing concepts based on ethnographic and documentary research , in which we seek for functionality and the needs and wishes from all stakeholders . Then , by applying a hierarchic tree of concepts , we can prioritize the sequences from “ most needed ” to “ less needed ” . This is a crucial process for the project , because from all of the users , we can establish who of them are more likely to use the product , and what constraints can we apply to ensure the maximum efficiency on the usability process .
To begin with the Mind Mapping , we gather all the team in a debate to talk about the project . By dividing all the stake holders ( users , clients and team work ) in aleatory groups of 3 to 4 participants with a main moderator , we apply times of 10 minutes for each debate process with a total of 4 hours of the activity itself . Every 10 minutes , each group will have to rotate randomly based on a card hanging at his neck , which will supply all the 24 random stations to ensure that no participant will repeat with the same group of people . Each 10 minutes will have a questionnaire in which every person in the group have to fill up .
At the end of the session , each participant may have a total of 24 questionnaires were all the information will be digitize and organized . With the co - working teams , we will make the mind mapping of the UX project based on the answers ( needs , wishes , suggestions and assumptions ) of each participant and the correlations of those with the company needs of the project .
After the whole process , the final result will be a full mind mapping tool , between lines , photos , sticky notes and texts , were both users and team work can fully understand to achieve the maximum approach to start developing ideas for the UX product .
Insight & Approach
What we always learn of this exercise of the mind mapping – hierarchy tool is that in a pre- design stage of a project we can bring all stake holders into one only environment to squeeze all the problems , needs , wishes , assumptions , considerations and suggestions to gain all the information we can get for understanding better the user needs before making any both design and engineering decision .
We have to understand that not every users mind is the same , and we need as much both empathy and emotional information to achieve projects that can be obtained from real users , instead of fictional stories .
At the end , the gap closes a bit more between companies and users , and we can react towards a better product , achieving not only economic incomes , but also happiness for those who purchase our products .

### Input: Reflection – Mind Mapping and the process of UX environments
Juan Romero
Challenge
Many tools of the design thinking process are used to understand human behavior in UX ( User Experience ) environments . The most used tool to communicate fast and with effectiveness is the Mind Mapping Tool , because it can be the perfect communication bridge between the users , designers and engineers . I use this approach often with the co - working groups to achieve a channel where everyone can understand the what , where , how , when and why of any project . In all stages of the project we bring users to understand the procedures , by making a broad board which can represent the user from any part of the mind mapping in all of its stages . By applying this methodology , we can assure that customers are more likely to understand the communication process between the company and the final user , were upgrades and future tools can be implemented progressively to endure the learning curve of the users with the interfaces we design and develop .

Challenge :
This story takes place in a small country ( Uruguay ) where the awareness and collaboration of its inhabitants has been essential ( until now ) to face the COVID context with encouraging indicators . As Alumni Manager of an important University in this country , I believe that one of our most valuable resources is our students and graduates community , therefore one of our greatest challenges is to keep that community cohesive and aligned with different purposes . A year ago , and prior to the appearance of COVID , we had planned different actions aimed at strengthening our students and graduate ’s community . One of them included a collaborative purpose and was related to involving part of this community generating projects and offering solutions to different problems . We offer a series of challenges , a workshop cycle where we take advantage of the soft and hard skills , experience , and power of our community to develop projects that offer solutions to different problems . Selection : Although the COVID context did not enter our plans at that time , its arrival did not substantially modify the process , I would say rather that it accelerated it , prompting us to quickly adapt to the new scenario . At that time ( September / 2012 ) it was necessary to establish a series of stages to test the impact and degree of commitment to the project by our community . We wanted to have the necessary feedback to plan or not the different challenges . The learning launch tool therefore allowed us this degree of iteration . Application : The first stage of the learning launch tool was to generate a first challenge with a current problem . The chosen problem was the challenges of immigration as a global phenomenon and solutions that could be generated at local level for a better insertion of immigrants . For this , a joint work was carried out with several universities from different parts of the world , discussing views about the repercussions of the same problem in those different places . Although activity was not successful as we expected , the participants evaluation , as well as the results , were truly positive . Our failures had been in the communication process , the awareness and the necessary approach had not been generated , so the problem did not generate interest as we expected . By the time we had planned the execution of the second challenge , the COVID context has already installed in our country . Once we got adapt to the new normal , we were able to resume and adjust the project to the new scenario . For our second learning launch experience , we recognize our previous failures , designing a different communication strategy . Our objective had been slightly broadened . Instead of focusing on a specific topic , we wanted to generate a challenge where students and graduates from all disciplines ( IT , Communication , Design , Business and Architecture ) could exchange ideas , knowledge , skills and professional careers processes to generate open collaborative projects resulting from the new context ( COVID ) . The impact was better than in our first experience by far , exceeding the call , as well as the results and evaluation of the participants , which were good in themselves . For this , the alliance that we had been working with United Nations was very important . For us , it was important to align future projects with the Sustainable Development Goals ( SDG ) , while for them we represented an important sector where we could put into action the UN75 initiative for global dialogue . Insight : As I said before , we needed to fix the mistakes made in the first call , for which we necessarily had to generate a different approach to the problem . We knew that some University graduates had been leading
collaborative projects to solve different problems , many of which were related to the COVID context , for that reason we had to identify these projects . Once identified them , we began a strategy of content development ( interviews , notes , stories ) and communication through networks , e - mailings and the web , encouraging our community to join and collaborate of those initiatives . Repercussion was very good since many graduates and students began to be interested in those projects , asking how they could participate . Approach : This story had a concrete and satisfactory result where the learning launch tool has resulted in an iterative process , enabling the necessary feedback to fix mistakes , and enhancing successes . However , I consider that future strategy for next editions can not be developed based on a single tool . I believe in our case that generation of awareness linked to the storytelling tool generates a high degree of empathy , which it leads to a greater degree of commitment regarding participation in the activity .

Visualization 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 .
Many people are n't aware of how powerful visualizing can be in their lives . In fact many of us are doing plenty of visualizations every day . The problem is that most of us are doing visualizations to create the life we do n’t want ; we are often using it to imagine the worst outcomes of things or worrying about the future . If you can remember the time when you worried so much about something that it actually happened , is probably a good example of using visualization to create the life you do n’t want .
Visualization is n’t something fluffy used by people who are n’t living in reality . It 's quite the opposite ; it 's used by a whole array of people who know how to use it to bring about positive outcomes in their life . Many athletes including Olympians use it to excel in their sports . The benefits of visualizing is also there for children ; research from Beijing Institute of Physical Education and University of Ottawa found that child table tennis players between the ages of 7 to 10 performed better when they used visualizations ( mental imagery ) .
Interestingly , research has also found that people who imagine themselves performing a task , improve their performance in that task without physically doing anything .
In order to visualize and manifest the kind of life you want , it 's very important to have a clear idea of what you want and why . This can be achieved by understanding what you value and what brings you the most joy in life . Have you ever had that moment when you were doing something and felt joyful doing it ? If yes , then that is a good sign of something you might want to have in your life .
This is one of the most important steps . When you want to manifest the life you want , you have to create a clear vision of what it should look like . You can write this down in detail or you could create a vision board . This will help you to create a clear and full picture of what your life would look like .
Once you are ready , you can take a moment to start envisioning the actual outcome . Start to imagine the sights , the sounds , the smells and even the taste of achieving what you want . As you go along , do n't forget to feel the emotions you would feel , as if this " life " was your reality now . There 's a saying that “ Rome was not built in a day . ” Similarly , the life you want to create wo n’t happen in one day but will eventuate in a series of days and actions of working towards your goal . Do n’t get too caught up with how far you are , instead focus on the present and set yourself daily or weekly actions to get to where you want .
When creating the life you want there , you will be faced with challenges . In fact one important tip when you are doing your visualizations is to imagine yourself facing these challenges and most importantly overcoming them .
As you visualize the life you want and utilize the five steps above , you will start to find your life reflecting your visualizations . Remember many people including celebrities , who started without much in their lives .
The more details you have in a visualization the more real it will seem , and the more it will increase performance as the brain starts to develop neural connections that result from the repeated visual image along with enhancing motivation that increases the likelihood of taking an action toward your goal . For example , if you think about wanting a piece of chocolate cake but immediately dismiss the thought , you quickly forget about it . However , if you think about a piece of chocolate cake , close your eyes and spend a few minutes really imagining the details , the creamy frosting , the warm moist cake , how wonderful it would taste , savoring the image until your mouth starts to water , your drive to get a piece of cake would increase dramatically .
At this point , your brain 's natural problem - solving process will go to work helping you develop a plan for how to obtain what you want . You might start to think about stopping at your favorite bakery on the way home from work . The best way to create detail and enhance the quality of your simulation is to picture and describe it using all of your senses . Keep adding in more detail until the process starts to feel as real as if you were actually experiencing it .

CHALLENGE-
The tool I used was the Visualization , or also known as Visual Thinking , to achieve a similar thought process among a group of my college - mates . I use this approach often with my college staffs and friends to make them understand my vision and to help me for creating something extraordinary . I was appointed as the department head for the editorial team for the department magazine . The challenge I was given was to deliver a magazine in 13 days with a team consisting of 8 members . With the given short period of time , I had to make each and every one of them to understand the problem and start working towards our common vision .
SELECTION-
Visualization is any technique for creating images , diagrams , or animations to communicate a message or to describe a vision . Visualization through visual imagery has been an effective way to communicate between a group of individuals . It can be a drawing created by hand or digitally showing what something will look like when created . They are used to plan for still images or products and can be a rough sketch or a detailed final design .
APPLICATION-
I decided to gather the group around and made them sit in pair of two . To each pair I gave them a sheet of paper with the problem and the thing that needed to be done . They responded by adding their points . After getting their feedbacks and suggestions , I presented them few pictures , videos and diagrams on board to make them understand the plan to finish the work in such short duration .
INSIGHT-
The use of verbal communication or posting texts would have made it almost impossible for my team to completely understand my vision and plan and finish the work in such short span of time . By using the Visualization technique I was able to make them clearly understand the situation and start working towards the plan , and within the short span of time , we completed the magazine and were able to present it . Design thinking was effective for the team to think out of the box and work smartly .
APPROACH-
This tool was very efficient in making other people understand and analyze what your common vision and idea would look like . I started using this approach in day to day life to make others
share my idea and thinking . Design thinking method provides wide range of opportunities to people to bring out different and innovative ideas and incorporate them to daily lives . This tool helps me to give better and quick presentations to group of individuals and make them understand each and every bit of it , to start working towards and finishing the work on time .

The name of his shop is called biggest famous worldwide bottling company and he started with an idea to share his hobby of making a UNESCO and spreading the happiness and smiles through the delicious taste with different flavors and appealing topping that can provide a reason for gathering with family & friends or only take time out for yourself , to enjoy the moment and taste the joy ! And since Mr. UNESCO has a true believe in what the pure creativity and imagination can do , he decided to make his UNESCO unique by using the Mint as a decoration . Thus , he puts all all his effort in every piece of UNESCO to offer an incomparable sense of fulfilment . As stated by the client “ I have been baking tarts for my family and friends for as long as I could remember and I want the logo to be something creative and memorable yet simple ” . Me as designer then started the project with selecting to use the tool mind mapping and Visual brain dumbing to get a better view of what would be suitable for him . Application : Based on what I understood from the client that he is looking for something friendly and inviting yet fancy for his customers . From my point of view , the user wanted the scheme to be more modern than classic , more youthful than mature , more playful than sophisticated , and in between luxurious and economical . To start with the design process I added visual brain dumping in to the mind mapping activity to generate a larger number of ideas , that will potentially help inspire newer and better ideas . Below is a draft of the mind mapping and the visual brain dumping process ( see figure 1 ) . I decided to add a mustache and chef ’s hat to indicate the “ Mr ” in the name of the company . After roughly drawing some sketches of the mustache , the
chef ’s hat and the tart we reached a decision to combine them all together . I ended up with three designs . For colors , I chosed pastel over primary colors because pastel colors are less saturated and are more soothing and calming to look at . As for the color combination , I used yellow , different shades of pink such as peach , a bit of orange and brown . The color yellow resembles cheer and happiness , most restaurants use it , as it is known as the delicious color . The color pink resembles on the emotional side , it communicates love and romance it also gives the logo a modern look with a touch of youthfulness . Finally , the colors orange and brown are used because they resemble warmth , taste and aroma that stimulates the appetite , it also represents steadfastness and simplicity . For typefaces , I used Bradlay Demo and Lao MN . These fonts are ideal for logos especially Bradlay Demo which is also the primary font , the font has a balanced , harmonious look and lends correspondence a personal touch .
Insight & Approach : With the help of the mind mapping tool that I made I was able to visually imagine and create the design ideas in a really better way . Below are the three prototypes I designed . Prototype 1 ( see figure 2 ) was the first one I designed but , as we wanted to present the client with more options to pick out from , I proceeded with prototype 2 ( see figure 3 ) . To improve , I then reached a decision to make an additional design and came up with prototype 3 ( see figure 4 ) . After we presented our prototypes to our client . He gave his feedback on all three prototypes , he responded with “ I like all three , but prototype 3 is well suited for my shop and precisely what I am looking for ” .

1 . Challenge :
In my work , we support young and old people to start their ventures , usually they come to the training workshops with only one thing in mind , I want to start a business or I need to start a business to be able to provide food , shelter and food to my family . This means that many times they have not thought about aspects that are related to starting a small business ; in addition to meeting people with a strong desire to improve their economic situation , but who present situations of low self - esteem and risky family situations .
2 . Selection :
Visualization has been a very valuable tool in the process of generating these business initiatives , since it allows the person to show a visual image of what they think , making the process easier for everyone involved .
3 . Application :
The visualization process is something that we can all do and that we can easily understand , that is why it has been used at different times during the entrepreneur workshop , the first moment is during the self - motivation stage , since it allows people to show their feelings through the visualizations of their present and future , finding that inner passion that will allow them to start their business and maintain it over time , then it has been used in the stage of generating business ideas , when we ask them to give know the focus they will take to your business initiative , so that other people can understand the concept , target population and other details of that business that you are going to start .
4 . Insight :
In general , the results obtained have been very interesting , since the people participating in the entrepreneurship workshops can express themselves freely in their visualization , using drawings made by them , illustrations taken from newspapers or magazines , text fragments and keywords that allow explain in an easier way what they want to do in the business they want to start .
5 . Approach :
Next time , it will be necessary to allocate a greater amount of time to the activity so that people can carry out this visualization process without pressure of any kind , since that freedom to think and express themselves freely is sometimes affected by pressure . time to finish this action . Visualizing is not something that has a switch to turn it on or off , it is something that happens at different times , it is cooking in our mind .
I will definitely keep using this tool .

Challenge
I am a member of one of very good and reputed organization famous as ‘ Deloitte Haskins & Sells ’ . From many days people from this organization was doing “ Narayan Seva”[serving food and clothes to needy people ] in their own capacity , many members from our organization were unaware about this or they were not having time to do or contribute to this activity .
One day , few like minded people decided to expand this activity where we shall serve maximum people also can involve other members from organization directly or indirectly .
During our meeting we identified below challenges - 1 . What to be served in breakfast and where to be served
2 . From where will get food , how will cook
3 . Fund
4 . Man power
5 . Continuity
6 . What will be the reaction of the Sr . members of the organization as we did not involved them initially .
So from design thinking point of view “ What IS ” part is very much clear .
Selection
During our meeting we discussed on several options and approaches . We thought to visit to trusts and identify their problem area and provide best possible solution .
We thought to go to old age homes .
We thought to go to village and identify the needy people .
Same time we thought about food and cloths items , to be served .
Discussed about money and required man power for smooth execution .
Please note when we were planning and discussing “ What is ” and “ What if ” , there were only 5 people and in our mind first thing was continuity and reaction of senior peoples .
So we decided to try the learning launch tool . As we know , the learning launch is an experiment meant to quickly test an idea and prototype .
Application
After doing lots of brainstorming sessions we come to the conclusion i.e. we got our “ WHAT WOW ” . For our first learning launch , we focused on the good , healthy and affordable food item . As a place we selected an area where daily wages workers come in
search of job . So we were ready for experiment and fast fail .
Initially we decided to do this activity only once in a month as we were not having any clue about cash flow , man power , no of people will turn out to avail our services etc .
After each event we used to gather to get the feedback on tea session which is very much famous now a days as ‘ Chai pe charcha ’ and lots of brainstorming was done to stream line the things . Below were the outcomes which change everything - 1 . We identified caterer , not someone from outside but someone within the organization . We identified needy people who can be benefited and same time we ensured he or she must be regular in term of service .
2 . After serving breakfast for 2 - 3 Sundays we shared about this new service / Seva within organization where we got unexpected support in turn it solved our man power and cash flow issue both .
Since then we never looked back , it ’s more than 1year we are serving breakfast every Sunday . Today we have started this service in two different places and things are moving very smoothly . In future we may expect such more services .
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool , our team identified our assumptions and designed launches to test these assumptions . Additionally , we thought through anticipated results , expecting to find that a more agile approach would improve our workflow , and that both our team and the key stakeholders would be fairly open to the new process . Here our stakeholders were - 1 . Our team of 5 - 6 peoples
2 . Organization
3 . Narayan ’s
Once we got support from others our cash flow and man power issue got resolved , we spread our wings and now we have started our breakfast services to other places as well . Even today we do have feedback session which helps us to improve our breakfast Seva . There are members with in the team who look after the ancillary services .
After each event we learn from our mistakes and improve the same in next event . So this is learning for each of us which is making our services stronger and stronger and better .
The ongoing incorporation of insight is particularly important at this stage , as launches come before a full rollout in the design thinking timeline .
Approach
We succeed using learning launch but this is not like same approach will work for each project or other design tool would have not worked . So need to put complete thought through before you finalize any design tool .
There were other options / approaches / design tools as well but based on available resources we chooses this approach and succeed .
We would have discussed about our project with others organizations who have done similar activity in past and have experience or we would have discussed the same within our organization to have feedback and support .
Today due to this service our organization is well known and famous . Other existing , well established NGO ’s are now learning from our experience .
Feedback :
During course we learned lots of design tools , some good and relevant examples but this will be helpful only when it will be used , experienced otherwise it ’s just theory which will remain in books .

Challenge In the air conditioning technical service reports , it has been detected that one of the most frequent failures in the installation of the equipment by our customers is the required refrigerant charge . There is a deficiency in the way in which the technical staff of our customers carries out the loading of the machines , often being an incomplete load or an inadequate procedure . On the other hand , the correct refrigerant charge is affected by a wrong piping and accessories installation . Inquiring more about the origin of this situation , it has been found that sometimes the system design is not suitable or the design considerations are incomplete . Within the design , an adequate calculation of the losses in the pipes and fittings is not made , the pipes distances and diameters that intervene in the system ’s losses are not taken into account . Sometimes the problem occurs when selecting equipment . The equipment is not correctly selected according to the established design and this result in an inadequate refrigerant charge for the system . There is misinformation or mishandling of the technical specifications of the equipment we offer , making mistakes when deciding which equipment is most suitable for the project . Another situation that influences the amount of refrigerant required in the system is the chosen position of the condensers , either above or below the evaporators . This is a design decision , although many times during the installation there are physical problems that imply a change of positions , affecting the design and its initial considerations .
Selection To get a better description of “ what is ” the current reality , we have selected the Mind Mapping design tool to easily communicate all this data concerning the refrigerant load challenge . With the mind mapping tool , we`ll look for themes and patterns to synthesize data ; we can state the most important concepts that summarize the problem and find the connections between them . Mind Mapping will also help us to detect systematic differences between the knowledge and skills of the people involved in the air conditioning project .
Application To apply the Mind Mapping design tool , we have broken down the information by presenting the most important issues that concern the problem of refrigerant loading in the systems . We found that the two major themes that impact in this problem are the DESIGN and INSTALLATION of the systems . Within the Design , we find issues of loss calculations , equipment selection and equipment positioning . In the Installation , we found wrong piping route or piping diameters , poor piping and accessories fittings ,
incomplete refrigerant load or inadequate procedure for loading the system . Our Mind Map will look like this :
Insight The most important insight gained by applying the Mind Mapping tool was finding the issues behind the refrigerant loading problem , in which the logical or apparent failures are around the installation process , but , when digging deep into the matter , we found design mistakes that affected directly the refrigerant charge . This leads us to the fact that there are deficiencies in the knowledge and skills of the design staff and technical installers of our clients . With these thoughts in mind , the possible design criteria must involve people from the beginning ( design ) to the final ( installation ) system process .
Approach For a next time , I would take a different approach by using a different tool , like the Storytelling design tool , to create a more vivid impact by putting in the center the true experiences of the designers and technical installers to generate bigger empathy and a larger purpose of action within our customers .

tech solutions to clients is more important than ever .
There are two parts in technical support services provisions that hold technologies true no
matter which industry the client runs business . The Software and Hardware exists regardless of
the business environment . The software problems are completely different according to what
every client uses to do business due to the services they render , the hardware across for all of
them is almost same only the specifications differ .
The most challenging difference of technical support in Kenya is the technology hardware
aspect where the prices of different devices are extremely high due to importation charges with
completely different concepts of customer requirements . And with the experience i found that
very difficult for customers to get used to hardware problems is one of the many aspects of
Technology that is different in this industry but it is by far the key items .
Although there are many technical services in this technology industry , I chose it in the face of
technology applications in every business industry category because of my personal experience
with it and hope to have many more in my lifetime . It is important that i have learned and
understood how to diagnose different technology issues in both software and hardware
industries for my future career and I am excited about future opportunities to do so .
Application
Technical support services I provide a range to users both for Software and computer systems
used and to the continued operation of daily work . Another I represent in user assistance in
solving problems and answer questions , through remote or virtual assistance . The help desk also
I provide the demands of users , computers and give a solution to problem as they occur by
converting the problems to experiences which have specialized on , ill - related to systems of the
computer , the software used , the network or the problem of solid parts inside the computer .
A major problem management in tech support describes tools that combine both software and
hardware diagnosis in to a service which I use to give solutions . This process makes it possible
to deal with user technical problems across the entire technology setting . The more efficient as
a support specialist ’s I am to help users about software and hardware configuration on upgrades
and prior problems the more references I get from them hence enhance the growth of
consultations from new customers .
Technical problem management include ; customer request , problem identification , evaluation
status and problem diagnosis . One particularly useful feature to me is the ability to
simultaneously track issues handled by myself as well as issues escalated to external third party
support partners . With these features I can provide single point of contact to ensure that I am
meeting my customer ’s expectations and my support skills living up to their agreements with
me . What ’s most important is how all the functions work together and how I present in a logical
way to the user .
Insight & Approach
Technical support Services is important for it allows users work on their tasks accurately without
interference of Systems being fault , update information on their working environment effectively .
Secondly it serves as a management about an organization ’s asset technology base . With good
management of technology assets pays for itself simply by putting a real value on a company ’s
current inventory of Computer Hardware , Software and network possessions . A good Technical
support feature helps organizations ;
Collect asset information with minimal effort .
Minimize number of unnecessary software
Enforce equipment policies regarding agreements , configurations , software upgrades and
consumable supplies .
Scheduled Maintenance and upgrades of equipment which allows organizations make vital
decisions .
Example , how many PCs are there in the organization and their specifications including the serial
numbers and what applications or systems run in each ? The users connected to the server . All this
information has an immediate , dramatic influence or your organization and can easily become an
invaluable resource for future asset planning .

TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICES
Challenge & Selection
Learning launch in Tech industry is undoubtedly one of the most important tool and skills to
have . Being able to identify and sort out Technical Support problems in any organization , I
myself apply the same to my customers who apply Technology in their daily tasks to do
business . This is to enable their working environments comfortable which are always a
challenge enough which come in different categories in the technology they use . Technology is
unavoidable in this day and age and therefore with my technical expertise and being able to give
tech solutions to clients is more important than ever .

A Human Centric Approach by Visualization
Visualization is adopting visual thinking and designing a path to deal with challenges
and provide best outcome using once intellectual and imaginative capabilities with sound
scientific insights . Visualizations offers endless possibilities to design new products and
pushes us beyond using words or language alone . It is a way of unlocking different part
of our brains that allows us to think nonverbally and that many executives might not
normally use .
Challenge
Developing drug products understanding unmet patient needs particularly for paediatric
and geriatric population is huge challenge across the pharmaceutical industry . We have
adopted a human centric approach to design new products to cater unmet needs and serve
patients with best and affordable products .
Selection
The tool I have deployed is the , tool of Visualization , or Visual Thinking , to achieve a
shared understanding on human centric drug product development , among a diverse
group of stakeholders . I used this approach to gather information , then empathize , define ,
ideate , prototype , and test and implement it . I have used the a relationship matrix smart
art to move from one step to the other with a set of questions or stimuli for discussion to
allow a diverse group of participants to learn from each other in the process of defining
the scope , boundaries , key elements , and interrelationships to identify opportunities for
improvements or solutions .
Application
I started the process by creating a relationship matrix graphic of the problem domain . To
had gathered literature and materials available to understand the unmet needs . Then I
conducted informal interviews with key opinion leaders , patients , received market
feedback etc . For the activity , I have divide the stakeholders into groups of 5 - 6
participants each representing a different business units or areas of interest . Each group
receives a poster - size copy of the graphic and ad - boards that they can write on directly ,
or use sticky notes to make comments . I give them two - three questions to answer , such
as : 1 ) What are the unmet needs in the domain 2 ) What key elements are to consider for
incremental innovation ? 2 ) What additional aspects can be considered to more accurately
reflect the problem space ? 3 ) What key insights do we have about relationships between
the entities in the problem space ? I give them approximately 30 minutes to discuss the
questions and share their view points . Then I have each group report out on their answers
to those three questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their poster . I had recorded
the cohesions in the insights from each group . After the session , I digitized all view
points as an artefact , created a view that combines the shared and new insights from the
group discussion , and then I created a revised graphic that incorporates their feedback
and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group .
Figure 1 Overview of Human Centric Approach for new product design
Insight
What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that while the overall
graphic incorporates their feedback – it was important for reinforcing their understanding of
the problem they are working to solve , the more valuable aspect of the activity is the shared
insights and shared learning that occurs while they are working to define their problem space .
The graphic gives the diverse group of stakeholders a focal point for discussion that allows
them to share their perspectives and develop insights into potential root causes of their

problems . Stakeholders could identify variables in the problem space – that is , it helps them to
identify what they do n’t know , in what areas they need to obtain information or data to provide
the values for the variables . Since I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the shared
insights and learning , next time I would use the visualization activity as a starting point for a
series of design thinking activities . Then the revised graphic that incorporates their combined
feedback can serve as a reference tool throughout the remainder of their work .
The exercise not only helped understand the unmet , but it has helped us in developing new
modalities treatment options by human centric approach for designing safer and better
medicines for paediatric and geriatric patients .
Approach
The approach helped us in understanding multiple viewpoints and was an insightful journey .
The collaborative working , starting with a simple graphic started the meaningful conversation
for all the stakeholders . They could quickly related to the problem and identify where they are
problems and can more quickly gain new insights about relationships between key entities
instead of taking time to identify them .
This approach has helped us in identifying multiple unmet needs in the domain and helped us
shape various business opportunities at the same providing safer and affordable healthcare to
patients .

Challenge
As part of an emerging event management start - up , each project provided us with a new learning experience . As part of the first project , we were to organize friendship day event for children in a reputed apartment space . With this project , we realised numerous mistakes we had committed during the planning phase of the project . Our choice of colours , layout of the organized event , games selected were not feasible as per the layout of the apartment , which in turn led to onsite change of plan and ultimately ended up being an unpleasant experience for the guests .
Selection
Mind mapping method was opted to optimise our planning phase of our events . Considering that each event is different and could involve numerous constraints , we wanted to develop categories and prepare a standard checklist to ensure the client needs are well captured while optimizing our efforts for organizing the event .
Application
A primary research was conducted to identify the basic needs for each category of events , such as , weddings , birthday celebrations , etc . , These inputs were then gathered and displayed on a board . The idea was to identify any linkages and patterns in specific clusters of clients so we could achieve certain degree of optimization on our efforts for certain events . The sticky notes gathered were grouped in clusters such as , pink decoration were preferred for girls birthday celebrations , bachelorette parties and baby showers . Hence , all these events were put into the cluster of pink decorations . This way we could identify common linkages to the common resources that may be required .
Insight
One of the major advantage of using mind mapping was the optimum utilization of our resources thereby cutting down cost drastically . The clusters also provided insights on common characteristics shared with specific events that in turn helped us in providing standard set of options for certain events and the customer could choose add - on services over and above the standard service . This way we optimized man - hours required for a specific job by standardizing the cluster with common characteristics and by having specialized human resources .
Approach
Having understood other design thinking tools , I look forward to apply learning launch for specific corporate events that come from specific industries .

Challenges
The main challenge I faced was that my team mates were not able understand what I am saying . They were finding it difficult because the way I understood the problem and the way they did were different . I think this is the challenge which everyone faces , as all the five fingers are not the same , all the team mates in a team do not think in the same way . So the way I thought and they way the looked at the problem were different .
Selection
I used storytelling to explain my topic better to my team mates . I spent some time thinking about the topic and then decided to create a story in a way which would be both entertaining and knowledgeable to my team mates . I created a story which included the problem and an apt solution for it .
Application
I used examples of many great people who first faced the same issue that I faced while encountering a problem and how they found an apt solution for it by the use of storytelling technique . So I used many stories and a bit of images in between to make my team mates understand what I am trying to say .
Insights
This storytelling technique helped my team mates to think in a different way . We suddenly found a new way to approach a problem . This helped my team mates to understand what I was trying to say and if I had to summarize how storytelling helped us then I would just say that before adapting storytelling method we all were thinking about the solution in different ways which helped us approach the problem differently and found a very effective way of solving the problem .
Approach
This storytelling technique helped me and team mates in understanding the problem and thinking differently so I would definitely like to use this in future because it gave me results in a way I never expected . So I am quite happy with the technique and would definitely use it in my coming presentations .

Challenge When creating new software we often have to offer solutions to varying users . Each group of users may work with a subset of the functionality that shall be offered and often does not see the complete value chain . It is usual that different user groups make use of some part of the data offered and input some new data or actions that will affect other user groups . If we design a system with to few users involved the risk is that the system will solve to small part of the problem at hand . And it may feel unfamiliar to the users that was not involved in the process from the start . Mind mapping involving enough variety of users help us get a good overview of the problem domain .
Selection I have selected to use mind mapping to create a set of insights that is shared in the group before taking on the what if part to create common ground in the group . We do this to ensure that we have deep enough knowledge in the domain and all share a common mind model of the system to be before starting on the what if phase . In this way we reduce the risk of creating a system that is not aligned with all user groups . We see this a as good tool to unleash creativity and intuition(as described in the video week 3 - Mind Mapping ) . So we get new good ideas on the table to go forward with .
Application To start with we get hold of persons know the domain or that may be future users of the software and make sure that we have some from all the departments involved . Through interviews with each of them we get hold of statements , maps , charts and process descriptions . This forms the basis for several posters . We spread the posters on the walls of a conference room to form a gallery . We then get a group of people , around 10 - 15 to participate in a workshop . We group them in small groups and give them green and yellow post - it notes . They are then allowed to move around individually studying the gallery that we made . As they gain insight or new ideas they make a note of it on a green sticker and keep it on their clipboard . If there is some information that is missing they make a yellow sticker with some additional information . Then all go back to their group and spend some minutes sorting through the stickers . Then the group make a common overview where the familiar notes are clustered . Then the insight related to each cluster of notes is noted on new notes placed on top of the cluster . The clusters have some relationships between them that the participants identify . In the summary the insights on the clusters and the relationships between the clusters form the design criteria we bring with us into the what if phase .

### Input: Mind mapping
Challenge When creating new software we often have to offer solutions to varying users . Each group of users may work with a subset of the functionality that shall be offered and often does not see the complete value chain . It is usual that different user groups make use of some part of the data offered and input some new data or actions that will affect other user groups . If we design a system with to few users involved the risk is that the system will solve to small part of the problem at hand . And it may feel unfamiliar to the users that was not involved in the process from the start . Mind mapping involving enough variety of users help us get a good overview of the problem domain .
Selection I have selected to use mind mapping to create a set of insights that is shared in the group before taking on the what if part to create common ground in the group . We do this to ensure that we have deep enough knowledge in the domain and all share a common mind model of the system to be before starting on the what if phase . In this way we reduce the risk of creating a system that is not aligned with all user groups . We see this a as good tool to unleash creativity and intuition(as described in the video week 3 - Mind Mapping ) . So we get new good ideas on the table to go forward with .
Application To start with we get hold of persons know the domain or that may be future users of the software and make sure that we have some from all the departments involved . Through interviews with each of them we get hold of statements , maps , charts and process descriptions . This forms the basis for several posters . We spread the posters on the walls of a conference room to form a gallery . We then get a group of people , around 10 - 15 to participate in a workshop . We group them in small groups and give them green and yellow post - it notes . They are then allowed to move around individually studying the gallery that we made . As they gain insight or new ideas they make a note of it on a green sticker and keep it on their clipboard . If there is some information that is missing they make a yellow sticker with some additional information . Then all go back to their group and spend some minutes sorting through the stickers . Then the group make a common overview where the familiar notes are clustered . Then the insight related to each cluster of notes is noted on new notes placed on top of the cluster . The clusters have some relationships between them that the participants identify . In the summary the insights on the clusters and the relationships between the clusters form the design criteria we bring with us into the what if phase .
Insight Often we see that the user groups use different names for the same concepts and some times have differing mental models of how it is supposed to behave . Bringing user groups together to form some aligned model before further design steps is essential to be able to present solutions that will fulfill all needs . This is also neccessary to avoid rejecting some users view - that will be a detriment to the implementation of the system .

I work in the IT industry where presentations are generally boring . People usually tend to clog the slides with too much information and tend to read from the slides whatever is written . One of my role in the organization is of a trainer and one of my challenge was to train senior leaders to improve presentation skills , to be able to sell better – whether to the clients or to the employees within the organization . This was becoming important as internally as well as externally we were receiving feedbacks of how the presentations by leaders were becoming ineffective .
Selection
To overcome the challenge I thought of choosing Storytelling as a tool to improve the presentation skills . The reason why I chose this was due to the fact that presentation is nothing but how effectively you are able to convey your message to the audience , and what better way to do it than through stories . Since early age we have been fascinated by stories , whether in books or movies . We have also seen and read some great leaders present the most difficult messages via effective story telling ( examples would be Nehru ’s speech on the eve of India ’s independence ) . The best presentations we remember for long time are those which weave a story ( e.g. the stories we have used in this course )
Application
To apply Storytelling , I read a lot of articles and books and also attended few trainings myself ( like the Nancy Duarte ’s training ) . Once I understood this better myself , I started first with looking at presentations I had created ( and realized how bad those were ) . I redid my own presentations to format them like stories – to start with a big statement , to alternative talk about what is and what could be , and to end with a promise of better things . Once I was through with this , I shared these with the same audience I had given the presentations to earlier ( although not to clients but mostly internal employees ) . I took their feedback and further improved on it .
Post this I started working on a training around Storytelling catered towards senior leaders . This needed to change the process for them , so the entire training required to have lot of examples and videos on what has not worked and why . It also needed to have counter examples and videos on how storytelling could change things and how it has worked over many years ( like Martin Luther King ’s speech , like Steve Job ’s presentation on iPhone launch ) .
Once I had the initial training done , I took it to my boss and walked him through it . I incorporated the feedback he gave and then did a sessions with a small group of leaders . Once this was done , I again modified based on feedback and the launched it wider .
Insight
The main insight I gained about this challenge was the importance of what method / tool to use to solve a problem . Another insight was about the audience and creating the training keeping them in mind .
During applying the concept with self , I learnt the requirement to make gradual changes – not to turn around the presentation upside down . The initial sessions with the leaders helped me understand their challenges ( e.g. why it was required to clog or overcrowd the slide in some cases )
I also learnt about design thinking concepts ( which I realized now after attending this course ) on how smaller , incremental progress helps , on prototyping and on the use of Storytelling as a tool .
Approach
What I would like to do next time is revisit the new insights I have gained in this course . I would maybe like to use Visualization as well to help improve presentation skills . I will also like to do incorporate feedback process – so I will start with talking to the leaders first and understand their problems and POV , understand what they know about storytelling , etc .
From this course , I will remember all the stories whether is it about Geoff and George , MeYouHealth or the Good Kitchen . Those concepts will remain with me for a long time because of these stories . And hence I will apply new ways of training folks on story telling by incorporating more visuals and videos .

I 'm a co - founder of an e - learning solution for the developers ' environment . Currently , we
have a multifunctional team working together , but the communication and the engagement
of our group were low .
The team was n't put the customer 's shoes and were without empathy to build our project .
The ideas about the business had different views and the business strategy was lost .
I chose to use the Storytelling tool to solve this question with my team .
Because with that tool I can show them our challenge and also at the same time the
feeling of brotherhood
The possibility to involve them in the problem was another reason to choose the
Storytelling tool .
Application
I scheduled a team meeting , using as an Invite subject an Align meeting . Then I prepared
good storytelling before to meet my team . I used all Storytelling ingredients as possible ,
expectations , drama , challenges , possibilities , customers ' centred vision , empathy and
more .
I began my storytelling developing the expectations from the customer and gave us some
drama trying to show what 's our customer was expecting from us and answer these
questions through the narrative .
The idea to give them these expectations was to make them use the customer shoes and
understand how better could to be our products .
The narrative answer the question : how could we be more engaged with the project ?
Why our customers need us , and what could happen with we do n't give them a better
solution ?
What 're the challenges to delivery this customized solution .
Conclusion
At the end of the day , the Storytelling tool was the perfect instrument to begin our Design
thinking process and our mindset changes .
We will use now the Storytelling to engage our employees in our onboarding program .
I believe that could be the perfect path to give the new employees a real picture of our

I have been using this tool much time before , but I only learned that it is called the Learning Launch . I have been a product developer for many years , but unfortunately , my products did n't yet reach the big market . Well , I am from a humble country that does not have many open innovation avenues , I think . Though I love to enter my products to local and national contests at least and to some like - minded people with whom I share my humble technologies . As I have mentioned , despite not getting my products into the market , I get to leverage on it because I am working in academe . As a faculty member , I get promotional points for the technology products that I make , creating more of them .
Challenges
When conceptualizing my product , I usually start with observing people . Whenever I observe some discomforts in what people do , I get to think of innovation for simple technology . I use to watch children writing , older people eating , artisans do their work , and so on . I get to observe what tools or technology if there is any that they are using to have things done . For one specific example . I have observed how my wife holds a pen when she writes . She had been adopting a particular posture in writing that is so stressful that she even developed a hard lump at a portion of one of her fingers because of the pressure of the pen on it every time she writes . My curiosity was furthered when I saw my young son as he started school and started learning to hold the pencil to write . I am a drawing teacher and the first skill I teach the student is the proper holding of the pencil which is comfortable and allow ease of movement in creating all lines and shape using it . It came to my mind that maybe I can provide a technology that will teach young people to learn to handle a writing implement earlier . And for older people to correct their holding of the pencil when used to using the incorrect posture .
Selection
I thought this is where the learning launch tool in product development became useful to me in my product development endeavors . Whenever I recognize some discomforts , paint points , etcetera , I do sketches of possible embodiments of a product on people . That 's where my state of saying , " I got an Idea " that Heiko Kaiser referred to in his video on Learning Launch . The Learning Launch tool is the right tool for innovators to validate their idea without falling entrapped to what he calls the " confirmation bias , " which I believe from my observation is familiar to many inventors . Most often , inventors fall into the thinking that what they have created or conceived technology is the answer to the problem . Fortunately for me , I do n't fall into this trap . As a practicing patent drafter , I learned ways to validate my idea , which falls in the Learning Launch tool 's coverage .
Application
When I get into an idea , it became my regular part of the procedure to validate an innovative idea to do a prior art search or commonly coined as a patent search . In doing the prior art search , I look for existing products , procedures , or processes which address the issues that my proposed product attempts to answer . Doing so , I can avoid what Kaiser said about our " own judgment " of our idea . Searching for related technology to my product serves some purposes . First , I get to know whether my product is novel or not ; if it is novel , it can have the freedom to do business , especially if patented . Otherwise , I may dismiss the idea of continuing the development of the product . Second , it allows me to improve if I find a very close product to my product . I can add more features that can add value to my product . Third , it gives me an idea of a good market for the product , mostly if the related technology is selling . If the competing product performs well in the market , adding up or improving my design criteria to produce more features would probably perform to the competing product level if not better . As a result of the validation , I go back to my drawings . I use a 3D modeling application in my designing works . That , for me , is a cheaper way of creating preliminary prototypes in graphic forms . Like most designers , I do different configurations of the product until I reach the optimal one that " wows " me . Fortunately , 3D printing is now cheap . I can do several prototypes of my products now than before using the 3D printer . It allows me to produce test pieces that I can show people to test . My work is a consumer product , so that anybody can relate . For instance , the one I mentioned , which is for improving the pen or pencil holding posture , can be 3D printed for 15 minutes . For that particular product , I was able to produce many samples . Next , I asked people who may find the product useful to try using it . That further validates the product 's effectiveness in addressing the issue that the product intends to do . I gave the samples to them after testing as a token . I consider the user 's feedback for further enhancement of my work . Fortunately , that product won first place in our local Invention contest sponsored by our Department of Science and Technology . This course in Design Thinking validates the procedure I have been using , which gives me a good result . I have been using this procedure for all my product development activities . This course emphasized to me to consider more the intended users ' insights about the product we want to develop .

I have learned from the tools that I used , which I have a name for it now because it helps me create a user - centered product . A product that the user becomes your co- creator , as Mona Martinez has said . Instead of relying on or claiming to have a bright idea , it is best that the idea will be validated by the people who were the intended users of the product . I must admit that I have also been in that state of having a " confirmation bias " before , but the Learning Launch approach had changed the results of my design activities when I used it .
Approach
Learning from the lecture of Heiko Kaiser , I think I will give the Learning Launch tool more consideration in the flow , as presented in this lecture . I think I will provide more concerns about selecting people that will be validating my product or products . That said that these people should represent the end - users of the product I am creating . This way , the result will be more reliable , primarily if I can engage in business . Also , learning the other tools poses a challenge on my part , which I would be happy to do so if an appropriate situation requires their application .

### Input: MY REFLECTION - LEARNING LAUNCH
I have been using this tool much time before , but I only learned that it is called the Learning Launch . I have been a product developer for many years , but unfortunately , my products did n't yet reach the big market . Well , I am from a humble country that does not have many open innovation avenues , I think . Though I love to enter my products to local and national contests at least and to some like - minded people with whom I share my humble technologies . As I have mentioned , despite not getting my products into the market , I get to leverage on it because I am working in academe . As a faculty member , I get promotional points for the technology products that I make , creating more of them .
Challenges
When conceptualizing my product , I usually start with observing people . Whenever I observe some discomforts in what people do , I get to think of innovation for simple technology . I use to watch children writing , older people eating , artisans do their work , and so on . I get to observe what tools or technology if there is any that they are using to have things done . For one specific example . I have observed how my wife holds a pen when she writes . She had been adopting a particular posture in writing that is so stressful that she even developed a hard lump at a portion of one of her fingers because of the pressure of the pen on it every time she writes . My curiosity was furthered when I saw my young son as he started school and started learning to hold the pencil to write . I am a drawing teacher and the first skill I teach the student is the proper holding of the pencil which is comfortable and allow ease of movement in creating all lines and shape using it . It came to my mind that maybe I can provide a technology that will teach young people to learn to handle a writing implement earlier . And for older people to correct their holding of the pencil when used to using the incorrect posture .
Selection
I thought this is where the learning launch tool in product development became useful to me in my product development endeavors . Whenever I recognize some discomforts , paint points , etcetera , I do sketches of possible embodiments of a product on people . That 's where my state of saying , " I got an Idea " that Heiko Kaiser referred to in his video on Learning Launch . The Learning Launch tool is the right tool for innovators to validate their idea without falling entrapped to what he calls the " confirmation bias , " which I believe from my observation is familiar to many inventors . Most often , inventors fall into the thinking that what they have created or conceived technology is the answer to the problem . Fortunately for me , I do n't fall into this trap . As a practicing patent drafter , I learned ways to validate my idea , which falls in the Learning Launch tool 's coverage .
Application
When I get into an idea , it became my regular part of the procedure to validate an innovative idea to do a prior art search or commonly coined as a patent search . In doing the prior art search , I look for existing products , procedures , or processes which address the issues that my proposed product attempts to answer . Doing so , I can avoid what Kaiser said about our " own judgment " of our idea . Searching for related technology to my product serves some purposes . First , I get to know whether my product is novel or not ; if it is novel , it can have the freedom to do business , especially if patented . Otherwise , I may dismiss the idea of continuing the development of the product . Second , it allows me to improve if I find a very close product to my product . I can add more features that can add value to my product . Third , it gives me an idea of a good market for the product , mostly if the related technology is selling . If the competing product performs well in the market , adding up or improving my design criteria to produce more features would probably perform to the competing product level if not better . As a result of the validation , I go back to my drawings . I use a 3D modeling application in my designing works . That , for me , is a cheaper way of creating preliminary prototypes in graphic forms . Like most designers , I do different configurations of the product until I reach the optimal one that " wows " me . Fortunately , 3D printing is now cheap . I can do several prototypes of my products now than before using the 3D printer . It allows me to produce test pieces that I can show people to test . My work is a consumer product , so that anybody can relate . For instance , the one I mentioned , which is for improving the pen or pencil holding posture , can be 3D printed for 15 minutes . For that particular product , I was able to produce many samples . Next , I asked people who may find the product useful to try using it . That further validates the product 's effectiveness in addressing the issue that the product intends to do . I gave the samples to them after testing as a token . I consider the user 's feedback for further enhancement of my work . Fortunately , that product won first place in our local Invention contest sponsored by our Department of Science and Technology . This course in Design Thinking validates the procedure I have been using , which gives me a good result . I have been using this procedure for all my product development activities . This course emphasized to me to consider more the intended users ' insights about the product we want to develop .

Challenge and Selection :
Story telling is a great to analyze different problems in our surroundings . I also encountered something that I was already experiencing myself . In our society I can see that there are many people out there who are HSP ’s ( Highly sensitive personalities ) . It ’s a problem /a social issue many people are facing but a very little population is aware of such . These personalities are extreme at every kind of emotion to show or express . They are friendly in nature and confident enough to gather more people around them . They are attractive yet sensitive ones , try to explain even a small issue and give justifications even if not needed . They have complexities and compare themselves with others , letting themselves down and useless . These personalities feel little issues as well and do a great deal of overthinking on sarcasms and jokes as well . People ’s behavior towards them is non empathetic . They do n’t think before they speak , they do n’t analyze the selection of their words for them . Knowing about their emotionality they do n’t treat them specially or change their behaviors . People deal them normally and that ’s not the requirement to make them feel better or normal citizens of the society . Such people are wanting separate attention and condolence that everything is alright and you are beautiful the way you are . I used the above data to help out such unprivileged people who are not being heard making them more independent and confident about themselves .
Application :
I work with an organization for orphan children where the CEO is really friendly and wanting to meet all the demands and wishes of the orphans in any case . What I could see in him are the symptoms of HSP ’s . He is extremely friendly as well as sensitive about things , comparing his work and outstanding efforts with others but still not satisfied what he does . He still is not trusting his capabilities and efforts as best . That complex of not being like others is making him do comparison . He is calling himself useless or trash although its not like that . His organization is the most renowned and preferred . I saw him and figured out that he needs condolence from a trustee friend . I jumped into the field finding it a great opportunity to help him out . Talked to him as frankly as I could irrespective of any barriers . I started gaining his trust day by day .
Insight and Approach :
And what happened was an ultimate miracle for both of us , this exercise was not just an action but had a reaction too . He started to trust me the most and felt a lot better in all this I tried to tell him his real worth and opened his eyes for what he is doing is amazing .
As I am also an HSP I got a friend to talk to and helped a victim come out of his shell . He not knowing that I was the same as him changed me too as I trusted him and talked to him the same way as he did . We both worked out for each other as bicycle wheels , both worked together .
This course made me realize that I could reach out to more people and just using a small tool of storytelling can make a lot of people feel much better . Not just feeling better but helping to emerge the bright shinning stars come out of their shells and inspire others .

Challenge & Selection
The first tool I used was the tool of Mind Mapping . I use this tool in my work and also my study . Mind mapping can help me by concluding the complex things into 1 page and it easier to remember the picture than text .
Application
To work as an auditor , I have to understand the client processes in very short time and mind mapping can solve that problem . The best way for me to create mind mapping is writing down the significant things I ’ve heard and arrange into mind mapping . For example , after interview clients in the accounting department and take a short note at every process , I write the mind mapping by separate into Costing unit , Account payable unit , Account receivable unit and Financial reporting unit . Then put in every function of each unit and the user ’s name who responsible for each function .
Furthermore , I also use mind mapping to record the research paper I ’ve read . Start with the topic , then define the objective , methodology , dependent variable , independent variable , mediating variable and the result .
Insight & Approach
Using mind mapping in work and study , It ’s not only helps me understand easier but also explain or present my work to colleagues in the more simple way .
This course made me better in learning and communicating . I can understand more clearly and last longer in my memory .

Challenge
I am a member of an organization called Juabar our challenge is to satisfy all our current and potential clients with the services we offer in other to increase our sales and build a strong brand name . The project scope includes , building an E - commerce platform , websites , web development , application development and design . We are made up of six employees with IT and Business experience competent enough to forge the company ahead . Our IT department equally carries out projects that requires the use of A.I(Artificial Intelligence ) , we are currently working on smart bins as many African countries are n’t aware of it to help manage domestic waste . We have a large market size online and our physical locality which is strategic for growth . We are constantly being praised for our quality services which reflects our slogan “ Your Smile Our Pride ” .
Selection
Our team , we have gone through several design thinking activities which has enabled us to go this far and we are ready to try the launching tool especially A.I tool . The launching is an experiment of our tools and to test the idea and see how customers respond to it before modifications are made .
Application
First of all , it is important to note that my community suffers a lot when it comes to how our domestic and industrial waste products are being handled . Burning waste creates more problems to man and his environment . So my team came together and we decided to try a Smart Waste Management System and Turning Waste into Green Charcoal .
Our concept is to put in place a real time monitoring system with trash bins equipped with sensors that will signal when the bins are filled up and send a message to the controller , who sees and allocate drivers to those quarters and neighborhoods .
Secondly , drivers are to use a smart phone with driver app to help them locate the bins that are full and to be emptied .
Lastly , waste will not be burnt , we want to reduce the rate of pollution in the atmosphere and deforestation , a technology has been brought up to convert the waste into Green charcoal .
This laughing is to gain clarity about our task and for modification .
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool , we were able to identify realistic assumptions that helped us to test our work . Our anticipated results were encouraging which pushed us into more research to better and strengthen any loop hole . Design thinking has impacted greatly in our lives as a team and as individuals .
Approach
given that our team is made of experienced members , and several have already gone through design thinking , it made it easier . Designs should reflect insights gained and compelling enough for any gazer to notice .

Challenge
The challenge in front of me was as personal as it was crucial . Resolving the life ’s many dilemmas is never a cakewalk . Case in point is the dilemma concerning the right way forward in which one should take his career in . The decision gets even complex if someone is standing at that delicate age point where the stakes are way higher than when someone is starting out . The decision - making process in this case has many variables such as Interests , Skills & Capabilities required , work - life balance , future outlook of the concerned sector / organisation , is work culture in tune with one ’s values & whether that path will help in achieving one ’s purpose of life . On the face of it , it is apparently an overwhelming proposition to find your way at the end of this maze . And using conventional means such as making a list , then a sub - list might get quite overwhelming and clarity may still be elusive However , one of the design thinking tools , Mind mapping , comes to the rescue . Mind mapping not only brings in clarity & reduce the problem - solving time , but also helps one in showing linkages and connections which were hidden before . And oft these connections act as a guiding light towards the desired end goal .
Selection
Mind - mapping tool was selected because of its sheer power of acting as a conduit from abstraction to clarity . The tool starts with the mapping out the core issue , and as one brainstorms and draws down the varied branches , one can gradually see critical insights getting generated .
Application
The mind - mapping process began by the starting with the central issue at hand i.e. the best way forward from here . Once it was mapped out on the white board , the different paths were then mapped out . Then all my expectations , my skills & capabilities as well my ultimate purpose of life was jotted down . Similarly , all the impressions that were there in the mind regarding the core problem at hand were laid down .
Once all the maps could be seen in one frame , I could see some connections emerging , some insights emerging from the data dump , which gradually helped me in eliminating many of the paths which were not in sync with my critical expectations & goals . As I continued forming links and connecting the points , I could eventually narrow down to that one path that is a right fit for me .
Insight
By applying the mind - mapping tool , the factors which I did not consider initially emerged as I worked on the preparing the mind maps . For instance : The possible path of starting on your own and the likelihood of getting what I intended , were the two factors which I incorporated into the mind mapping process subsequently . Secondly , the process involved in mind - mapping helped me realise that every action , no matter how small , has its consequences which we often do n’t realise . This insight not only helped me in solving the problem at hand , but also in doing some course corrections at a rather personal level .
Approach
Given the crossroad that I found myself standing at , I think Mind mapping was the best suited tool . It does a very good job in bringing order in an environment overflowing with ambiguity . Though , come to think of it , visualisation can be a good complementary tool as well , for keeping up the internal drive in an individual to remain steady on the path towards the end objective .

For instance : The possible path of starting on your own and the likelihood of getting what I intended , were the two factors which I incorporated into the mind mapping process subsequently . Secondly , the process involved in mind - mapping helped me realise that every action , no matter how small , has its consequences which we often do n’t realise . This insight not only helped me in solving the problem at hand , but also in doing some course corrections at a rather personal level .
Approach
Given the crossroad that I found myself standing at , I think Mind mapping was the best suited tool . It does a very good job in bringing order in an environment overflowing with ambiguity . Though , come to think of it , visualisation can be a good complementary tool as well , for keeping up the internal drive in an individual to remain steady on the path towards the end objective .

I work in the telecommunications industry in the area of systems and business process design .
This time we have to design the external and internal infrastructure provisioning process .
For this , several areas participate , among the most representative are budgets , engineering , purchasing and logistics , and obviously the area of systems and processes .
The challenge is to have budget control and ensure that this does not impact the supply chain , that is , to coordinate budget events with purchasing and logistics processes .
2 . Selection :
I have selected the mind mapping tool , since it will allow me to clarify the need of the areas involved and to be able to map the way in which both the activities and the requirements are taking shape and if necessary , this tool offers the possibility of moving each element , idea or requirement in the same map to be able to shape it .
I take this idea from the video of week 2 ( Mind mapping tool )
3 . Application :
The first thing I did was to clarify the objective that needed to be reached , in this case it is that senior management wants to :
• Control the budget
• Do not impact the purchasing and logistics processes
I asked each area of the business to do an analysis of the current activities that they carry out on a day - to - day basis and that should be integrated into the new process . Additionally , they must list restrictions and requirements that must be met in each of them .
Coordinate a work session so that each area presented the information prepared to the rest of the team , in this way , each area would have knowledge of the steps that are executed by the rest of the teams and already having a general context of all the elements , We were ordering them taking into account :
• Prerequisites
• Dependencies
• Interleaved steps to be taken between areas
• Identification of possible impacts
• Essential activities
We did the first exercise and at the end we reviewed it together , going through the entire flow of activities step by step and we realized that adjustments had to be made to what we had originally defined .
Once the adjustments have been made and in consensus with the different areas , we define the final version that would be presented to senior management .
This proposal was presented to the management and although there were comments and minimal adjustments , the presented proposal complied with the requirements in 90 % , therefore I consider that the exercise was of great value .
4 . Perspective :
When working on the definition of workflows , one of the main mistakes made is that we collect the information , analyze it and present the proposals made by ourselves , without considering the opinion , points of view and experience of the main involved in the execution of tasks or activities .
By working with a mind map , I understood how to involve the main stakeholders of the process , I could have a greater and clearer idea of the needs and activities of each of them and by making them aware of the activities in which the rest of the activities are involved . areas broadens the knowledge of flow in general and it is much easier to map the step - by - step of a complex process .
5 . Focus :
Next time , I would like to add STORY NARRATION to practice , since I consider that users can present the narration of the activities they develop on a day - to - day basis , with these narrations , we should take the most relevant comments so that in the end Let 's use the mind map tool .

The tool that I used is the tool of Learning Launch , as it describes how the product will be perceived in the market and what are the demands which are actually satisfied with the same service that is being visualized within the organization . 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 . the key to success is an entrepreneurial mindset of action and not analysis ; speed and not long study times ; engaging potential customers in the creation , design and testing of new ideas as soon as possible ; and learning as you go , iterating constantly for improvement . The product being a success depends mostly on how customer is taking the product and the demand of it . It is the most important of the tools as it is the basic criteria for the allocation of resources .
Application
A learning launch is a business - world application of the scientific method ; it is a way of thinking that relies on generating and testing hypotheses . It starts with hypothesis - generating by asking a what - if question , which allows us to identify a new possibility to act on . This hypothesis- driven approach is based on the idea of learning , rather than knowing . As a result , it is particularly useful under conditions of uncertainty in which we do n’t know as much as we ’d like to .
Start the process by looking at what we already know , based on observing customers , analyzing the industry value chain , and assessing internal capabilities and resources .
We now generate a hypothesis in the form of a new business idea with a particular focus on specifying the value proposition to a particular customer , the execution strategy , and likely competitor reaction .
Having identified the new hypothetical business idea , turn to dealing with the uncertainty piece . Because our new business is an idea about the future and ca n’t be tested directly , we ’ll need to articulate the critical underlying assumptions that it rests on relative to customers , capabilities and competitors
Getting a prototype in the market with prospective customers as quickly as possible .
Based on the outcome of our test , we will either continue to pursue the new initiative , refining and improving it as you go , or kill it if results suggest that , contrary to your initial projections , it is unlikely to succeed .
After we have completed enough research through the learning launch to assure yourself of the sound fundamentals of the new idea , we will move to staging a roll - out of the idea .
Insight
The Learning Launch is mainly about learning about the product and the relationship it can potentially build with the customer base . The insights that mainly we got out of this experiment is that we have to include more and more customer base getting their opinions and then driving our strategy otherwise the allocation of resources be it materials or the Human resource can result into nothing if it does n't bode well with the consumers . The learning curve if applied at the right time and in an effective way can actually make the product to be improvising at the different feedbacks and surveys .
Approach
The main thing to be considered or to be done differently is to make more and more people involved and getting enough time for the learning curve to make the best out of it and not just relying on the Research and development for the success rather getting on to the ground level and exploring things from their perspective .

Objective of my team was to design and introduce new Test Data Management capabilities for a big financial services organisation . This project was a part of a large transformation programme to replace set of legacy IT systems with new ones that are serving one of the organization ’s business line . To design test data management and provisioning capabilities ( IT solution and processes ) in the most efficient and usable for testers way was critical for the overall programme success .
Selection :
We used visualisation tool to design functions and processes for the new service with a focus on customer experience . Diagrams for customer journeys and sketched of user ’s interface portal helped to design and present things in a more consumable way for diverse groups of stakeholders .
Application :
Our team conducted 22 interviews , sketched out personas and user journeys based on the interviews – looking closely at drop - out points . During the idealization workshops participants from different testing streams used flipcharts to sketch how ideal user experience should look like . Straw man and structure of the process elements were outlines prior the workshops , that helped to gather ideas and synthesise ideas in the same framework . Visualization tools for new service design helps to align ideas from differed into one solution and build empathy .
Once the design of the new service has been created , the team tested and iterated the journeys with stakeholders . Through this approach the team co - created user - centric processes that included future tester journeys and helped customer to move away from their previously process - driven approach .
Insight :
The key insight – is to be as visual as possible
▪ To be as visual as possible – so when writing , you also include accompanying images
▪ Draw on the board with marker pens to illustrate the need to be visual – such as writing in a stylised text , smiley faces , logos etc .
▪ We can bring together different stakeholders from different disciplines under a common language that can be understood by all
▪ Visualisation works for visual and audio type of person creating universal a language of explanation
Overall Design thinking insights :
▪ Defer Judgement – no idea is a bad idea , think out of the box and unconstrained as possible ( do not think yet of whether it is technically feasible or there is business viability )
▪ Build on ideas – think how you can extend some of the ideas of your team - mates
▪ Focus – focus on the persona and opportunity you are building on
▪ Quantity – at this point you are diverging with as many thoughts as possible to get them out ( volume ) , we will later refine them
Approach :
Our team also used Crazy 8s tool to boost ideas generation . It is quite rare when ideas are born overnight . And for an idea to become a great idea , it takes considerable work and effort to develop . Part of the reason we end up with under - developed ideas is that we stick with the first good idea we
have — rather than taking the time to explore complementary approaches . Crazy 8s is designed to combat this pattern by forcing us to generate lots of ideas in a short period of time .
Outcome : Several sets of iterations on a theme , this is more focused on trying different resolutions to the problem statement in question rather than generating myriad features . In the second or third round of Crazy 8s it can get tough to come up with new ideas , but often this is where the most interesting and original ideas come from .
Everybody folds a blank sheet of paper in half four times , then unfolds it , so they get eight panels . Then you have five minutes total to draw eight sketches , one in each panel .
Crazy Eights will also help loosen up your creative muscles and make you more productive in subsequent sketching exercises . If you get stuck , try repeating an earlier sketch with a small variation – this type of exploration is useful and it keeps us moving forward .
