As Government of India decided to launch a campaign that will benefit the most backward districts of the society and make a significant attempt to improve their socio - economic welfare , our client , NITI Aayog , which is the Government ’s apex think tank , was mandated to envision a robust strategy which will not only ensure gradual progress in the selected districts but also make them hub for development . Our challenge , as a communications agency was to ensure right messaging and gradually , showcasing the development story and best practices being followed in these districts , for the world to stand up and take notice . 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 ) . We believe that before achieving success , it is important to visualize its journey . Possible roadblocks and pain points can be identified to ensure there is a backup course of action , just in case . We had to imagine possibilities that we had never encountered . Situations like , how will the citizens react to their hometown being labelled as backward ? Will Civil servants be willing to take postings in these districts ? Can we convince the private sector to invest here ? 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 ) . To kick start the campaign , we made sure that communicating the right messaging was of the utmost importance . So , the first task was to make sure the word ‘ Backward ’ gets replaced by the word ‘ Aspirational . ’ . The name of the campaign thus was – Transformation of Aspirational Districts Programme . By choosing an alternate , yet progressive name for the campaign , a deliberate attempt was made to ensure citizens view this a key step in their development . PM of India , Shri Narendra Modi launched this campaign and used simple yet though evoking words to give a clarion call to the nation . As India continues to re - write its success story , it is imperative to ensure the rural parts of the country progress as well . The Districts Collectors and administration were thus labeled as Champions of Change . The first success story of the campaign was when the administration & citizen were excited and eager to be a part of their district ’s growth story . The wheels were set in motion ! 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 ) . Understanding the psyche was indeed helpful & the power of communication further strengthened our belief that words can indeed create magic . The use of the word – ‘ backward ’ slowly started to diminish & got replaced by ‘ aspirational ’ in people ’s vocabulary . Social Media proved to be an effective medium for communicating . Through the social media platforms of our client – NITI Aayog , we launched different hashtags to highlight how these districts are bringing
about a paradigm shift in critical social sectors like health and education . # VoicesOfChange & # EducationForChange highlighted several best practices from across India . From a child that goes to school to an elderly citizen that has witnessed decades of hardship , these citizens now proudly own the success of their Aspirational District ! These districts are now not just making steady progress but also emerging as role models for their country . For Instance , as India grapples with the coronavirus , Aspirational Districts are setting the standard for rest of the country .

I have always relied upon visualization when defining the problem statement or challenge .
it has helped me to get everyone aligned on the problem that needs to be solved .
Challenge
For example , recently I was asked to lead a project where we had to solve the challenges around content life cycle , starting from creating content and assembling it into various formats for eventual distribution to the end consumers for consumption .
Part of the challenge was to understand what problem we were trying to solve .
While everyone knew that the content creation and consumption was an issue , it was not clear exactly what needs to be addressed to make this content process easier to implement . Stakeholders did not know when the process of content creation starts , who or how many marketers create the content , where is the content stored , and so on . In general , the content lifecycle starting from creation , assembly of content , and delivering it to different end - users who are spread across multiple geographies , using different mobile devices was a complex problem to solve . We needed a tool that can help with all the challenges mentioned above .
Selection
So I decided to adopt visualization technique such as a process flow chart . I chose the process flow chart visualization technique because it can help to capture the start of the process and the end of the process , along with the various tasks involved in between . The process flowchart can also capture the different task owners who carried out the steps . Once we capture the process flow , it could become easier for us to understand the bottlenecks in the content creation process flow and identify the problems to be solved .
The visualization technique can help us to simplify the complex process by breaking it into smaller phases , and could help us align on the process flow , individual steps , issues in each step , process owners and gaps / issues .
Application
To apply the process flow technique , I first started by drawing the straw man based on what I have learned based on my interviews with some of the key stakeholders . I then brought about 10 to 15 other stakeholders who were involved with the content process to add their points of view . As they share their feedback , I updated the process flow in real time on the whiteboard . As changes were made , everyone got enlightened as they learned something more about the process that they did nt know of earlier . This was an iterative process and needed a couple of iterations till we were able draw a final flow diagram where everyone agreed .
A couple of important points to note when drawing the process flow .
• Try to create swim lanes so that you can assign process owners or systems to the lanes .
• It is important to capture when the process starts and ends .
• Capture the inputs and outputs for each of the process steps .
• It helps to get as much details as possible so as to make it more accurate .
Insight
Having the visualization graphic drawn out helps everyone to have a common understanding of the process flow . It is a team building exercise and helps everyone to understand each other 's perspectives . It builds trust and also gets everyone aligned on the nature of the problem that we are trying to solve .
It helps to draw out the boundaries of what we are trying to solve .
While there may be many issues involved , it helps the team to agree upon what issue is the most important .
It helps everyone to understand the various phases in the process flow , as well as the roles and underlying systems that are needed to complete the process .
There is greater clarity in terms of the inputs , outputs , and issues involved at various stages of the process flow .
It helps to identify areas of opportunity in the process flow by identifying non - value add steps , redundant steps . Eventually it helps the team to identify what steps can be automated , removed , added , modified to improve the end - user experience .
Approach
In conclusion , I plan to use the visualization technique , in particular the process flow technique for my design thinking projects , and also master other toolkits in the design thinking domain to help solve problems and find ways to improve the end user experience using empathy , ethnographic techniques , and user experience skills . I plan to keep learning more about the visualization techniques because I believe this is a very useful technique that can help us solve many issues in our job and maybe even our own personal lives .

1 . Challenge :
I use mind mapping very often , in different areas of my life , whenever I have a problem to attack . I started using this tool to help me organize my own life in the beginning of each year , as a way to help me visualize my new year ’s resolutions . I start by setting up goals I want to achieve , action plans I would need to put in practice in order to achieve those goals , stakeholders that would participate and contribute for those goals to happen , and material and intellectual resources required to implement the actions .
When one of my goals is too complex or big , I usually dedicate a mind map exclusively to tackle that specific matter . A good and successful example of a mind map that helped me to achieve a goal was couple of years ago , when I decided to pursue a master ’s degree in the United States . The mind map I drew at that occasion gave me a clear and detailed overview on everything I needed to do in order to accomplish that goal .
2 . Selection :
The mind mapping is a graphical tool that allows the user to mix words , images , color and other elements , that at the end of the day , will make it easier for the user to memorize , organize his thoughts , generate new ideas and explore different and creative paths to solve a problem . The exercise can be done alone , but also can be used by a group , making it possible for the participants to have a clear perspective of what other members are thinking and creating an effective flow of ideas .
3 . Application :
I start the mind mapping exercise by putting the problem in the center of a blank paper . There are software and digital tools for mind mapping , but I am old school and usually , when the ideas start to flow I do not have the computer or other digital devices with me .
Thus , using the example of the Master ’s Degree mapping I produced a couple of years ago , I started by drawing a graduation cap and the USA flag in the center of the paper . Then , the first arrow I pulled referred to all the universities I would consider sending application to , with small second level branches describing pros and cons of each program . The second main arrow referred to the application requirements I needed to fulfill , including obtaining translated transcripts and reference letters , sitting for the

TOEFL test , drafting resume , cover letters and letters of motivations . Then , the next branch contained the stakeholders I would need to reach out to and the contribution I needed from each of them ( e.g. John C. – reference letter ; Mary D. – translation ) . The next branch was dedicated for expenses estimation and the financial resources that I already had and what I needed to acquire until the start of the program . Finally , I drew a branch dedicated for some important dates .
After I concluded the map , I felt as if I had accomplished half of the way already . After that , I started putting the actions in practice and I returned to the map every once in a while to make sure I was in the right track .
4 . Insight :
By using mind mapping to tackle issues in different areas of my life , I became more productive and can solve problems or execute projects significantly faster and in a more creative manner .
5 . Approach :
I have been using mind mapping for a few years and I think I developed some good skills in doing better connections of ideas . In the beginning I was also afraid of using images and colors because I am not a good designer . But after some practice I realized that it did not matter if I was drawing straw - man - like images . What matters is the power of memorization that the images provide , as well as the feeling that the ideas are more concrete .

The tool I 'm going to use is storytelling . The challenge I plan to address is how to keep declining oil assets globally from experiencing a catastrophic abandonment process , as seen in many unconventional fields in the United States , in the year 2020 . In the coronavirus crisis , hundreds to thousands of wells are poorly abandoned and are releasing hundreds of thousands of tons of methane into the atmosphere , worsening greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere . Design thinking is needed to address such problems as it involves not only big and small operating companies , but environmental authorities perform control tools , where abandonment and decommunication operations are done even in a scenario where oil and natural gas exploitation is no longer feasible .
The history of oil exploitation is more than 150 years old with conventional exploitation and 180 years with unconventional exploitation with gas wells already drilled from shale gas and oil since 1821 in Pennsylvania . The use of natural gas has since enabled the heating and night lighting of hundreds of households with another appliances with a huge expansion of gas use has continued to grow until December 2018 , where solar panel and offshore wind technology are already cheaper than the cheaper fossil alternative , understood as coal thermal , in European Countries . This turning point points to a breaking point with global energy management where it is understood that business - based renewable energy can already replace fossil energies . The lack or absence of abandonment activities can be a potential environmental disaster with more warming effect at the atmosphere in the decades to come .
The other breaking point in process is the use of cheap or nanotechnological materials for the construction of batteries for storage and/or electric automotive . The Massachusetts Institute of technology MIT in August 2020 publishes that it has been successful with the experimental design of sodium batteries in replacement of lithium batteries , which are expensive and their use is very limited by the material scarcity of this element on earth . When advances in renewable energy costs in conjunction with advances in the manufacture of batteries with low - cost materials are a commercial reality , the oil industry as such would experience rapid or slow decline , which as a result would leave an environmental liability of methane emissions , a greenhouse gas 32 times more potent than carbon dioxide .
Once the oil industry faces a crisis where oil use is much lower than today , the management of oil and gas assets should be aimed at leaving the least amount of oxide , waste and wells flowing uncontrolled in rivers , lakes or soils . That 's why this problem is what requires design thinking the most where everyone involved is part of this solution .
Application of the solution .
The use of natural gas in abandoned wells has been a very strong habit in communities near the oil fields for more than 80 years . Under this reality , the story to tell about poorly abandoned wells is that many communities can benefit for much longer than conventional gas exploitation in abandoned oil fields . The story to be told is that communities must be trained in the use of low- potential wells under safety schemes and oil and gas well abandonments must be carried out by
the same oil and gas companies , or in any case fields must be ceded to companies purely engaged in field dismantling and using soft technologies ( untrained wells , portable drainage of oil wells . )
Communities can organize the way in activities whose low - pressure gas input can be used as raw materials such as brick manufacturing , and building materials , an activity that will still require the use of fossil fuels in many more decades to come , as soon as there are no low - energy alternatives to conventional building materials .
The use of story telling is to educate communities on the safe use of gas in wells about to be abandoned , but whose gas flow can be for decades to come .
On the other hand , non - productive but explosive wells must be effectively abandoned and monitored by the environmental liability of oil spills caused by poorly abandoned wells .
There must also be an education for governments and local authorities to have technologically capable equipment to replenish us for decades or hundreds of years because the problem of abandoned wells will persist for hundreds to thousands of years .
The use of patents ( low cost abandonment practices ) to make an economic abandonment should be an effort in design thinking derived from a widespread storytelling effort and within the framework of the oil industry as a whole , because very few people know in depth the environmental problem arising from frequent ruptures of abandoned wells .
Vision and Focus .
The use of TED or RSA presentations for the dissemination of such problems is a moral imperative for environmental authorities in any oil and gas - producing country . Also , it is necessary to speak with magazines and website about giving adequate dissemination of data , to warning people , government and communities to avoid contamination from wasted oil and gas fields .
The communities in my own country are rural villages and has an extremely low level of formal education and must be used comic based material to explain a very complex technical problem .
The future history of the environmental liability of abandoned wells should be told to companies to governments and to communities in such a way that there are :
1.A massive abandonment of wells well done at the end of their productive life .
2 . Prevent a very hasty decline in the use and price of oil from implying catastrophic environmental liability for future generations .
3 . The low - cost use of a declining asset for the use of low - cost industries , such as brick manufacturing or its use as local energy for high - dispersion industries such as farms .
4 . Reuse of wells such as water - supplying wells or for water pouring into confined aquifers currently used under environmentally safe conditions .
5 . Use of low cost technology for safe and cheap abandonments .
6 . The formulation of new low - cost abandonment technologies that are more permanence than current low durability steel coating sealing technologies .
The history of bad abandonment has been told several times by the Colombian and world media , with completely degraded areas , such as Lake Maracaibo ( a lake with continuous spills from abandoned producing areas ) and areas of soils with high salinities such as the Middle Magdalena Valley in Colombia . This approach has caused abandonment activities to accelerate , but they have the implication that the public image of oil companies has been greatly damaged .
A company with a very bad image in the long run represents that the political cost of a bailout is unlikely and all outstanding environmental recovery activities are compromised in a 20- to 30 - year scenario where oil and gas have no economic value .
That 's why the abandonment process is not a long - term problem , but a problem that there are only resources to solve in the small window of opportunity where oil companies are still profitable and have technological support and equipment to do the right thing with wasted oil and gas fields .
What needs to be done differently is that abandonment activities are not solely the responsibility of operating companies but that there is fiscal control of all the actors of the problem , as mourners and responsible for the action in the abandonment of oil and gas fields in the world .

### Input: Description of the challenge .
The tool I 'm going to use is storytelling . The challenge I plan to address is how to keep declining oil assets globally from experiencing a catastrophic abandonment process , as seen in many unconventional fields in the United States , in the year 2020 . In the coronavirus crisis , hundreds to thousands of wells are poorly abandoned and are releasing hundreds of thousands of tons of methane into the atmosphere , worsening greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere . Design thinking is needed to address such problems as it involves not only big and small operating companies , but environmental authorities perform control tools , where abandonment and decommunication operations are done even in a scenario where oil and natural gas exploitation is no longer feasible .
The history of oil exploitation is more than 150 years old with conventional exploitation and 180 years with unconventional exploitation with gas wells already drilled from shale gas and oil since 1821 in Pennsylvania . The use of natural gas has since enabled the heating and night lighting of hundreds of households with another appliances with a huge expansion of gas use has continued to grow until December 2018 , where solar panel and offshore wind technology are already cheaper than the cheaper fossil alternative , understood as coal thermal , in European Countries . This turning point points to a breaking point with global energy management where it is understood that business - based renewable energy can already replace fossil energies . The lack or absence of abandonment activities can be a potential environmental disaster with more warming effect at the atmosphere in the decades to come .
The other breaking point in process is the use of cheap or nanotechnological materials for the construction of batteries for storage and/or electric automotive . The Massachusetts Institute of technology MIT in August 2020 publishes that it has been successful with the experimental design of sodium batteries in replacement of lithium batteries , which are expensive and their use is very limited by the material scarcity of this element on earth . When advances in renewable energy costs in conjunction with advances in the manufacture of batteries with low - cost materials are a commercial reality , the oil industry as such would experience rapid or slow decline , which as a result would leave an environmental liability of methane emissions , a greenhouse gas 32 times more potent than carbon dioxide .
Once the oil industry faces a crisis where oil use is much lower than today , the management of oil and gas assets should be aimed at leaving the least amount of oxide , waste and wells flowing uncontrolled in rivers , lakes or soils . That 's why this problem is what requires design thinking the most where everyone involved is part of this solution .
Application of the solution .
The use of natural gas in abandoned wells has been a very strong habit in communities near the oil fields for more than 80 years . Under this reality , the story to tell about poorly abandoned wells is that many communities can benefit for much longer than conventional gas exploitation in abandoned oil fields . The story to be told is that communities must be trained in the use of low- potential wells under safety schemes and oil and gas well abandonments must be carried out by
the same oil and gas companies , or in any case fields must be ceded to companies purely engaged in field dismantling and using soft technologies ( untrained wells , portable drainage of oil wells . )
Communities can organize the way in activities whose low - pressure gas input can be used as raw materials such as brick manufacturing , and building materials , an activity that will still require the use of fossil fuels in many more decades to come , as soon as there are no low - energy alternatives to conventional building materials .
The use of story telling is to educate communities on the safe use of gas in wells about to be abandoned , but whose gas flow can be for decades to come .
On the other hand , non - productive but explosive wells must be effectively abandoned and monitored by the environmental liability of oil spills caused by poorly abandoned wells .
There must also be an education for governments and local authorities to have technologically capable equipment to replenish us for decades or hundreds of years because the problem of abandoned wells will persist for hundreds to thousands of years .
The use of patents ( low cost abandonment practices ) to make an economic abandonment should be an effort in design thinking derived from a widespread storytelling effort and within the framework of the oil industry as a whole , because very few people know in depth the environmental problem arising from frequent ruptures of abandoned wells .
Vision and Focus .
The use of TED or RSA presentations for the dissemination of such problems is a moral imperative for environmental authorities in any oil and gas - producing country . Also , it is necessary to speak with magazines and website about giving adequate dissemination of data , to warning people , government and communities to avoid contamination from wasted oil and gas fields .
The communities in my own country are rural villages and has an extremely low level of formal education and must be used comic based material to explain a very complex technical problem .
The future history of the environmental liability of abandoned wells should be told to companies to governments and to communities in such a way that there are :
1.A massive abandonment of wells well done at the end of their productive life .
2 . Prevent a very hasty decline in the use and price of oil from implying catastrophic environmental liability for future generations .
3 . The low - cost use of a declining asset for the use of low - cost industries , such as brick manufacturing or its use as local energy for high - dispersion industries such as farms .
4 . Reuse of wells such as water - supplying wells or for water pouring into confined aquifers currently used under environmentally safe conditions .
5 . Use of low cost technology for safe and cheap abandonments .
6 . The formulation of new low - cost abandonment technologies that are more permanence than current low durability steel coating sealing technologies .
The history of bad abandonment has been told several times by the Colombian and world media , with completely degraded areas , such as Lake Maracaibo ( a lake with continuous spills from abandoned producing areas ) and areas of soils with high salinities such as the Middle Magdalena Valley in Colombia . This approach has caused abandonment activities to accelerate , but they have the implication that the public image of oil companies has been greatly damaged .
A company with a very bad image in the long run represents that the political cost of a bailout is unlikely and all outstanding environmental recovery activities are compromised in a 20- to 30 - year scenario where oil and gas have no economic value .
That 's why the abandonment process is not a long - term problem , but a problem that there are only resources to solve in the small window of opportunity where oil companies are still profitable and have technological support and equipment to do the right thing with wasted oil and gas fields .

I am managing an extensive , organisational transformation program for an international sporting organisation in India . The program portfolio includes over 15 internal projects , and one of the critical projects for this year is working under a stringent timeline .
After an initial but short phase of well - intentioned discovery and data gathering , the project team jumped into developing a new process , training a pilot population , and implementing a new system to support it . According to their delivery plan , the team is making good progress while the significant amount of data initially gathered has been left unanalyzed and unused .
However , early feedback and reporting emerging from pilot populations and senior management have been very mixed , and the team is growing frustrated . Also , the project team 's laser focus on delivery means that collaboration and alignment with colleagues and peers outside have suffered .
Finally , a program steering committee meeting is upcoming in the next two weeks , and we are now at pains to agree between the program and project teams on what to share with the senior management .
Selection
To help the project team take a step back , I decided to prepare the mind - mapping exercise . I initially selected the activity as a means of getting the team to take the time to immerse themselves in all the available employee data they had amassed – but mostly left aside – since the beginning of the project . I was tipped off to the idea from the Mind Mapping tool video in Week 3 with Joanna Mejia as a way we could " distill all that data into information and insights that can be easily communicated . "
I also recognized the opportunity for the workshop to establish a " common mind , " i.e. , create alignment between the project team , the program management , and some functional colleagues . I proposed that we could use the workshop to produce learnings and insights that we could share with the Steering Committee .
Application
Together with the project management officer , we gathered elements from interviews , working group summaries , surveys , governance minutes , training feedback forms , etc . , cleared a wall in our project office , and posted all of the data we felt might be relevant . I invited the project team , functional team members , and the members of the program office to join the Gallery Walk , and all invited parties showed up . Everyone went through the gallery silently , collecting ideas and notes on post - its , etc . Afterward , we worked in a group session to share each of our elements and observations , identify themes , and " map " them . Using the " So What ? " prompt , we were able to locate several key insights .
Insights
Many insights emerged that were relevant to the project . One of the most important was that there was a high level of agreement and alignment across the group on a limited number of important themes . A pure , clearer mind was emerging .
This led to a very open discussion on how these insights could be shared with the Steering Committee and integrated into the project scope , approach , and delivery . Numerous new ideas were born out of the session , and all of us left energized by the shared clarity , which immediately resulted in re - prioritization discussions , shared action plans , and renewed overall commitment of the entire group to the project .
Approach
Next time I would leave even more time for the discussion and formalization of collective insights . I would be more vigilant about keeping the team from jumping into solution - seeking and brainstorming , which I found to be a strong temptation when confronted with such fruitful conclusions .
Finally , I probably did n't feel comfortable enough to trust the exercise as entirely as I could have . Having now seen the power of the activity , I will feel more confident about the process and would n't hesitate to include even more people and break out into smaller discussion groups .

Challenge & Selection
Storytelling is a useful tool that I use often . I work or it ’s better to say that I use to work
as President in a University Association : this association is a Junior Enterprise , an organization where the students assume the role of consultants and use the theoretical
information studied in University applying them in consultancy projects for real clients . As President , even if I work as Auditor for some projects , my role is to be the guide , the
leader of the group and build the Junior long - term strategy , monitoring it .
I also speak and talk often with my associates to encouraging them and motivating them to increase their level in projects and in the simple daily operations , during these
speeches , I use Storytelling to be more effective and engage their attention .
Application
The first time I used this tool , is when , about a year ago , I was elected as President in an
horrible moment for the association , for two mandate there were board that not follow
their associates and broke the empathy of the daily life in what they did .
The results in that period were terrible , the associates left the association and the motivation of all of us were so low , I decided , despite all , to take this challenge and try to
catch up my organization .
In front of my new associates , during the first reunion , I used storytelling to tell them
what we passed before them and focusing on all the errors that were made from previous
boards , encouraging them to use feedbacks to perform our daily routine , so that all we
were doing to do would be increasable in terms of results and quality .
Insight & Approach
The results were impressive , all the associates bring the idea of reconstructing our reality
with them and starts to live the daily operations with a better view , despite we need to
build all from zero , after one year , I can proudly say that :
• The revenue increases threefold
• The number of associates is increased of 300 %
• Before there were two operative areas : Sales and Communication , now the areas
are five : Sales , Marketing & Communication , Legal , IT and Human Resources
• The number of projects is increased of 600 %
Despite all these excellent results , this course made me see this as a tool in a new way . When I 've done it before it was personal , I interpreted the tools ad something so
subjective and I thought I could use it only for something that touched me in a heavy
way .
Now I can prepare the speeches and think about stories that will assist me in presenting
my ideas and illuminate them .

I ’m a part of the Sales Enablement team at a reputed organization . The role involves onboarding new individuals , training them on the product and the process as well as upskilling existing workforce from time to time . My job also involves solving any problems they face and ensuring sales effectiveness . Some time ago , we faced a major challenge which was the lack of a streamlined process to ensure communication between the Sales Operations team and the Sales team . From time to time the sales reps have questions around data points such as quota , accounts , numbers etc which are communicated in person or via email and hence most remain unanswered or unattended . This led to acute demotivation in the team and a sense of dissatisfaction because of lack of support being provided to them to do their job effectively .
2 . Selection :
In the What Is stage , we started with assessing the behavior , needs , wants and expectations of our audience ( both the sales reps and the sales operations team members ) to understand the current situation from all aspects . The more we studied the subjects and talked to them , the more we realized the absence of a Solution to bridge the communication gap . Hence we employed VISUALIZATION as a design tool to consider different possibilities to find the solution . In this course we learnt that , Visualization is n't really about drawing , It 's actually about visual thinking , and we all do 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 . This resonates with me because VISUALIZATION is employed in our business on frequent basis to help deal with uncertain business problems .
3 . Application :
In order to apply the tool , we divided the entire team into several groups and conducted multiple brainstorming sessions . In these sessions , each of the individual was asked to share their insight on the situation and a solution from their perspective on a white board . They could draw or write bullet points which ever was convenient for them as long as their creative minds were open . Different individuals made several drawings of a solution concept from their view point and some even backed it up with examples such as success stories in other organizations witnessed by them .
4 . Insight :
Once everyone shared their insights , the leadership met to look at the findings . It was discovered that most people felt the Use of Technology could bridge the gap . The concepts they shared were literally coming out of their imagination . They were picturing solutions in their heads and
by drawing them on the board , making it possible for everyone to visualize the same and be on the same page as them . It was realized eventually that a Technical Form or a Case Management solution could be of some help where every step is being recorded . This would have ensured better co - ordination , less TAT in responding to the sales rep queries and a more automated process making lives easier for everyone . We knew what was needed and so we started creating different prototypes using different kinds of tools and CRMs existing in the system which were tested in batches and that led us to develop a Case Management Portal after successful trials . We even tested the success based on criterias established again by the learners themselves and the tool proved to be a success . .
5 . Approach :
VISUALIZATION is a multifaceted and versatile tool which can be clubbed with many other techniques . In the future , I would also employ Personas to understand my audience more and help accordingly . Categorizing the audience type will help us to develop custom solutions better suited to each profile and this will ensure employee satisfaction throughout the team .

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 .
Visualization Tools
Data visualization tools provide data visualization designers with an easier
way to create visual representations of large data sets . These data visualizations
can then be used for a variety of purposes : dashboards , annual reports , sales and
marketing materials , investor slide decks , and virtually anywhere else information
needs to be interpreted immediately .
Some Types of Data Visualization Made Simpleas follows :
2 | P a g e
Types :
Column Chart
Bar Graph
Stacked Bar Graph
Stacked Column Chart
Area Chart
Dual Axis Chart
Line Graph
Mekko Chart
Pie Chart
Waterfall Chart
Bubble Chart
Scatter Plot Chart
Bullet Graph
Funnel Chart
Heat Map
SELECTION
I selected the pie chart tool

INSIGHT :
A pie chart represents one static number , divided into categories that constitute its individual portions . When i use one , i ’ll represent numerical amounts in percentages . When i sum up all of the separate portions , they should add up to 100 % .
CHALENGES :
They physically took practice needed Some times the target audience not understood exactly what i visualise Communicating problem Lake of data source Time consuming process Sometimes need higher end hardware and software need when i visualise big
data
Conclusion :
Pie chart is one of the best Visualisation tool . And it explain simple and easy
to under stand . The pie chart used in various place like share market , banking , financial analysis and more.finaly I conclude that pie chart is one of the best visualization ever .

Impact of leadership styles on employee experience with the moderating role of Design thinking .
The tool I selected is visualization . Since it is the most powerful key to success . One of most powerful tools we use on a regular basis is visualization , which endeavours to get ideas out of peoples ’ heads and into the world . Visualization is not just about drawing ; rather , it is a wide- ranging ability to externalize the thinking . Regardless of the form it takes , visualization has some distinct benefits for the value - creation journey :
1 . It Clarifies the thinking 2 . It opens the possibilities 3 . It helps to share our ideas with others
Visualization is a multisensory thinking process in which someone mentally visualizes the future by focusing on an overarching target goal . While doing so , the person looks at where they ’ve been , where they ’re at , and where they want to go . If a leader possesses this quality , then he can easily empathise with his employees . For leaders , these thoughts then translate into an effectively communicated message that others can easily understand and get behind . Visualization also affects strategy , business objectives , and goals .
Today behavioural observation and a team - based management process are very critical these days . The observation process is an educational process that encourages employees to work more safely on the job . The team - based management process ensures the maintenance of the observation process and ensures that the process is adaptive to a changing workplace . In the whole process the leader plays a significant role . Leader is the one who can guide the team and direct them towards their main objectives .
This also helps to generate high level of employee ownership .
Supervisors who find it challenging to evaluate their employees ’ job performance may find that by observing their direct reports can help assess the quality and quantity of the work done by their employee . Observation of performance in the work environment gives an opportunity to the leader to understand how their employee goes about performing assigned tasks and responsibility .
Visualization helped to understand the interaction between supervisors , managers and their employees , especially if an employee complains about
disparate treatment or unfair employee practices . Moreover , visualization also helps to improve the behaviour of the leader towards their employees too .
Visualization also helps leaders to take the vital decisions regarding the formation of organizational policies which helps employees to get better organizational experience .

The Use of Visualization to Understand the Library Studying Experience
Challenge
I ’ve studied in class , on busses , in coffee shops , in bed . I ’ve studied at the gym on the treadmill . I ’ve even studied at a bar during happy . I ’ve studied in a lot of place , but I can never get myself to study at the university library . When friends and colleagues ask why I never study at the library , I could n't really articulate a persuasive answer . All I ’d say is that I did n’t like to go there much . Truth is , I did n’t know why . After taking this Design Thinking course , I decided to further investigate this personal challenge . I felt I was missing out on a seminal graduate school experience and wanted to better understand why . To do so , I decided to use two approaches : the visualization design thinking tool and creating emotional maps of the experience .
Selection
The process of visualization “ allows us to think in a nonverbal way ” ( Lesson 1 , Visualization Tool video ) . It helps us communicate complex ideas by activating the , “ [ right side ] of our brain , parts of our creativity , that we might not normally be using in the course of conversation ” ( Lesson 1 , Visualization Tool video ) . I decided to recall a time I went to the library to study and to visualize on post - it notes the different parts of the experience . I wanted to create a storyboard of the experience . I also decided to create an emotional map of my experience of going to the library . An emotional map is a representational tool that would allow me to recognize the different emotions at different parts of an experience . I wanted to immerse myself in the experience and surface the pain points that were inhibiting me from normally going to the library to study .
Application & Insights
So , on a Saturday morning I decided to tackle this challenge . I first started by recalling a time I went to the university library ; and on post - it notes , I drew a representation of each of the steps : getting dressed , hoping on the bus , getting to the library , finding a spot to study , studying , getting back on the bus , and heading home . While this process helped me consider the experience in it ’s entirety ( what happens before I get to the library and what happens afterwards ) , I felt that major parts of the experience were missing . Afterall , the
visualization and storyboarding exercise did not help me identify the parts of the experience that were inhibiting me from going to the library to study . For that reason , I decided to go to the library and track my entire experience . I grabbed a pen and journal and began noting down everything I was doing as I was preparing to go to the library . I was noted down the nature of the experience : from very unfavorable to very favorable . I made sure to capture how I felt about each part of the experience . I wanted to be as exhaustive as possible . Some of the steps I wrote down included : deciding what to wear , deciding what to pack , figuring out the bus schedule , finding a quiet place in the library , moving to find a place with a electric plug , getting hungry , etc … On the bus ride back home , I flipped through my journal . I must have had 50 + annotated entries ! As soon I got back home , I started working on my emotional experience map . I divided the experience into 5 stages :
1 . Anticipating ( i.e. , getting ready to go to the library ) 2 . Entering ( i.e. , getting to the library ) 3 . Engaging ( i.e. , studying ) 4 . Exiting ( i.e. , leaving to go back home ) 5 . Reflecting ( i.e. , looking back at the experience )
For each of the stages , I mapped the different parts of the experience and how I felt at those moments . I ended up with a chart : the y - axis represented the intensity of the emotion and the x - axis represented the flow of the experience from anticipating to reflecting . Annotated points on the chart represented different aspects of the experience . This emotional experience mapping exercise helped me identify the culprit : At the library , I could not engage in productive procrastination . When I got bored studying at the library , I did not have any welcomed and productive distractions . As I thought about other places I studied , there was always something meaningful and fulfilling I could do as a quick study break . At the library I felt stuck . While I felt I effective in using the experience mapping tool to identify the problem , I resorted to creating an annotated chart of my experience . I think that storyboarding my entire experience would have added another layer of welcomed complexity . For instance , I feel I would have represented extreme pain points of my experience in a really emotionally exaggerated hand - drawn cartoon - y figure . Who knows ? Maybe I would have uncovered additional culprits .
All in all , this experience mapping activity helped me identify the problem and provided me with insight to help me design and test a solution : Next time I go to the library to study , I could try bringing a fun book to read as a productive distraction . Both the storyboarding and experience mapping exercises helped me understand that my experiences are composed of many micro - interactions with the context . This became
evident when I compared my original , retrospective recollection of the library experience with the final emotional map . While this course proved how powerful Design Thinking can be for solving real - world , wicked problems , using these tools on myself helped me see the value of the Design Thinking approach in helping me better understand my behaviors and tackling some of my own challenges .
Approach
Overall , I felt this exercise was successful . However ( if this course taught me anything ) there ’s always room for improvement . One thing I realized when I was studying at the library , is that I was forgetting at times to journal what was happening . At some points I became so immerses in the experience that I forgot to track it ! While I ’m sure that this state of flow has its positives , I can see that sometimes it could be detrimental to the experience mapping process ( i.e. , forgetting to capture key parts of the experience ) . One thing I could do to improve this process is to prompt myself to do a self - check every 2 minutes . For instance , I could set my phone to go off every 2 minutes . Another improvement to this process would be to map my most favorable studying experience and compare that to the library experience . I often favor to study at a coffee shop . Maybe comparing the coffee shop studying experience to that of the library would help me uncover additional insights .

Challenge :
Late In 2006 , I was invited to a US exchange program , in which I was introduced to the global ambassador of Technovation , the biggest entrepreneurship program for young ladies aged between 10 - 18 . Through Technovation girls work with women mentors , find a problem in their community , develop a mobile app , and launch a startup .
We had a talk about starting this program in Palestine . I got very excited about the idea and about the idea of giving back to the community by teaching these young ladies soft skills as well as technical ones .
I got back and thought it would be an easy step to start it , what I found out is that there are so many challenges that I have to face ;
1- Back then , Palestine was the first country to participate in the MENA region 2- The official curriculum is in English and some other languages ( we are an Arabic speaking country ) 3- People here tend to be conservative and some of the mentors will be guys . 4- The political situation of Palestine made it hard for the groups to travel back and forth to their
main cities/ villages to attend the sessions
5- We have to go through a too complicated process to be able to access all the schools in Palestine
and the season on 2005 was about to start .
Selection :
Due to all the other main challenges we expected to face , I did some meetings with some experts who have gone through the same experience in other projects in Palestine , and came up with an idea of getting started with 3 private schools ( in which we can access and the English language is really good ) in the main city in Palestine , because at that time we were more concerned account getting started and see how the things go so we can learn for the next seasons , in which we will be having more time to get everything sorted out in a more proper way .
Application :
We reached out to the schools and they got really excited about the whole idea . They even helped us in selection process for the groups ( from 3 - 5 girls ) and so we ended up having 7 groups with a total of 32 ladies . That was not bad for a start .
For the mentors ’ selection , we reached out to some friends whom we know they might be interested in this voluntary work . And we managed to convince 7 mentors to join the teams we have . ( Technical and business backgrounds )
After that , we invited everybody to kick - off meeting , in which we explained in details the idea behind the project , deliverables and the main deadlines , then we went through the ideation process , in which each team finally managed to get an idea to start working on with its mentor .
Each team was introduced to its mentor , and they with their mentor put a schedule of the meetings each week ( twice a week for 2 - hours meeting each ) to work on the curriculum and the coding tool .
They had to work on the curriculum and the helping materials we equipped them with ( ready from global Technovation ) and to deliver a mobile application prototype and a business plan of their project .
Insight :
By applying the learning launch tool without even knowing it ’s called like this , we got a very helpful feedback from the participants about things that we should adjust to make the most out of the program , as well as the our observation through the application phase . The girls did very well and they were very excited about the idea , but more preparations were needed and we had to start ahead of time to make sure everybody is well prepared . We decided to start 2 month earlier the next year ( 2014 ) and try to approach the ministry of education so we can reach as many schools , especially public ones , as possible . We wanted to give those people as well the right to learn new technologies and gain new and very useful skills for their future .
And that ’s what happened in 2014 , we managed to convince the ministry of education why this project is really important for the future of those kids , and an official letter were sent to all the Palestinian schools to encourage them to participate with us . More teams from all over Palestine joined and we started the preparations and early workshops for both mentors and the teams .
After finishing the 2014 season , it hit us that most of the girls faced an issue while going through the curriculum because it was in English , so we convinced young people from the university to help us translate the chapter in Arabic and upload them so they can refer to it .
Approach :
Learning launch was the best tool to be selected and worked with for our own story , as it helped us year after year to improve the outcome , number of participating teams , number of teams to deliver all the deliverables at the end and the quality of work to compete with global teams .
In 2012 , we had around 260 participating teams , 98 fully submitted their deliverables . And out of 2500 + mobile applications , one of our teams , out of the 6 finalist teams , was invited to the Silicon Valley to attend the global pitch event , and they got the second place worldwide !

The girls did very well and they were very excited about the idea , but more preparations were needed and we had to start ahead of time to make sure everybody is well prepared . We decided to start 2 month earlier the next year ( 2014 ) and try to approach the ministry of education so we can reach as many schools , especially public ones , as possible . We wanted to give those people as well the right to learn new technologies and gain new and very useful skills for their future .
And that ’s what happened in 2014 , we managed to convince the ministry of education why this project is really important for the future of those kids , and an official letter were sent to all the Palestinian schools to encourage them to participate with us . More teams from all over Palestine joined and we started the preparations and early workshops for both mentors and the teams .
After finishing the 2014 season , it hit us that most of the girls faced an issue while going through the curriculum because it was in English , so we convinced young people from the university to help us translate the chapter in Arabic and upload them so they can refer to it .
Approach :
Learning launch was the best tool to be selected and worked with for our own story , as it helped us year after year to improve the outcome , number of participating teams , number of teams to deliver all the deliverables at the end and the quality of work to compete with global teams .
In 2012 , we had around 260 participating teams , 98 fully submitted their deliverables . And out of 2500 + mobile applications , one of our teams , out of the 6 finalist teams , was invited to the Silicon Valley to attend the global pitch event , and they got the second place worldwide !

Take into account the first point of the course because if we are based on a deductive thinking , that is to say from the general to the particular , this was the most applicable , it helps us mainly to have a better idea of what we want to transmit . In addition , as the name says , it gives us a much more visual idea , that is to say , the projection of our mind applied to a form of greater human understanding , the drawings .
In my personal case I use this tool as what it is , a tool that helps me and my students to better understand the subject of economics . We know that economics is a branch of social sciences and that it is even difficult to imagine or project it visually but thanks to visualization , my students understand better what I want to project .
Visualization is a little known and applied tool especially in the field of economics education , we have graphs that help us visually to quantify , identify and analyze data . Thanks to the topics and thought process seen in this course , is that I can turn to see new horizons , leave aside the conventional 2 - dimensional graphs to something more elaborate and visual as the development of complex systems , biodata that are not static , to help me and my students to a better professional and academic training .
The course has endless applications , the creative process is as its name says , they should give more diffusion to this topic that until now I did not know . All the topics were important to me , from visualization , mind maps or learning launching , concepts that seem to be far away but come together for the creation of a creative process that has an end .
I will certainly apply the whole process in my daily and professional life , before I had another concept of how to give my classes but thanks to this change of thinking I can see beyond , the scope and positive impact that my students can have , especially in ways of learning that can lead to their personal and professional lives .

Challenge & Selection The stigma on mental health resonates throughout our society . It usually leads to avoidant behaviors from people with these illnesses and thus leads to feeling more isolated than others . However , I believe that storytelling is a very helpful tool to aid in eradicating the stigma . I ’ve dealt with anxiety and depression all my life . Throughout my treatment , I met many others that were dealing with mental illnesses as well , from depression to an eating disorder to bipolar disorder , etc . Once a day , we would gather together and we would go around the room discussing what happened the day before and the thoughts and feelings he / she was having at the time . For some people , it was difficult to open up , they felt embarrassed and that no one would understand them . But over time , people would start to talk more and feel comfortable confiding in others , and we were able to gain knowledge and realize that none of us were alone in this fight . We would bounce ideas off each other to come up with some possible strategies to help treatment . All in all , being able to talk about what you ’re going through and having others willing to listen and provide advice is essential when overcoming mental illnesses and can help those feel less isolated and more supported . Application While the stigma on mental health usually pertains to those that are ill , it has an effect on those who are n’t as well . I was trying to explain to my friends that isolation is a symptom of anxiety and depression . I said to them that helping out those with mental health disorders requires patience and a willingness to listen so that he / she can open up about his / her struggles . I told them a story about one of my friends ( let ’s call her Susan ) who was going through anxiety and depression herself . She had been sick for months and I had barely seen her before we decided to meet at a Starbucks to talk . She said that before she had mental health issues , she was incredibly social . She was very kind to others , never excluded people , and was always seen as the one who would organize gatherings / events . Susan was right , she truly was a delight to be around . She continued and said that she started to have horrible thoughts everyday . All of her worries stemmed around a fear of dying too quickly and that at any moment it would happen . The thoughts paralyzed her , she was too afraid to go outside her apartment , let alone get out of bed . Her friends asked to hang out multiple times , but every time it would be the same answer . “ I ca n’t . I ’m not feeling well , I ’m sorry . ” Her friends were hurt and felt neglected , so eventually they stopped texting her . She said she never felt so lonely than at that moment and she did n’t know what to do . Insight and Approach This was exactly what I was dealing with ! I quickly realized that other people were dealing with very similar struggles to what I dealt with and still do today . I was not alone in this , and I felt obligated to help out Susan . So I opened up about my mental health . I told her that there was a time where I felt extremely lonely too . I began to believe that people did n’t like me and my friends were just putting up a façade to make me feel better . I knew I needed help , but at the same time , believed that I was a burden and did n’t deserve it . With a lot of treatment , I began to feel better over time , and the healthier I became ; the more I came to realize how irrational it was to think I was alone . There was so much support for me and there was a light at the end of the tunnel . Susan needed to hear that . I told her to be patient and to keep fighting . There was a ton of support for her and there would be a day where she would feel much better and be as social as she
was before . She left Starbucks feeling extremely hopeful and since then continues to get better each and every day . When I told this story to my friends , they seemed to have a much better understanding of the mental health stigma . I ’m hopeful that if they know anyone that is struggling that they will support him / her , be patient and allow him / her to talk through their issues . At first , I thought storytelling was just my way of feeling better when I was feeling down , but now I know that it can be an extremely useful tool to help end the stigma . If I ever run into someone who ’s struggling with a mental illness or even someone who wants to get a better understanding of the stigma and how we can eliminate it , I know I have the storytelling tool at my disposal and can use it at any time .

Visualization is a technique for creating images and pictures , diagrams , or animations to communicate a message . Visualization through imagery has been an efficient way to communicate both abstract and concrete ideology since the dawn of humanity . Examples from history include cave paintings , Greek geometry , and Leonardo da Vinci 's revolutionary methods of technical drawing for engineering .
Visualization today has ever increasing applications in science , education , engineering interactive multimedia , medicine , etc . Typical of a visualization application is the field of computer graphics . The invention of computer graphics may be the most important development in visualization since the invention of central perspective in the Renaissance period . The development of animation also helped advance visualization .
APPLICATION
Scientific visualization As a subject in computer science , scientific visualization is the use of interactive , sensory representations , typically visual , of abstract data to reinforce cognition , hypothesis building , and reasoning . Scientific visualization is the transformation , selection , or representation of data from simulations or experiments , with an implicit or explicit geometric structure , to allow the exploration , analysis , and understanding of the data . Scientific visualization focuses and emphasizes the representation of higher order data using primarily graphics and animation techniques . Traditional areas of scientific visualization are flow visualization , medical visualization , astrophysical visualization , and chemical visualization . There are several different techniques to visualize scientific data , with is surface reconstruction and direct volume rendering being the more common .
Information visualization Information visualization concentrates on the use of computer - supported tools to explore large amount of abstract data . The term " information visualization " was originally coined by the User Interface Research Group at Xerox PARC and included Jock Mackinlay .Practical application of information visualization in computer programs involves selecting , transforming , and representing abstract data in a form that facilitates human interaction for exploration and understanding . Important aspects of information visualization are dynamics of visual representation and the interactivity . Strong techniques enable the user to modify the visualization in real - time , thus affording unparalleled perception of patterns and structural relations in the abstract data in question .
Educational visualization
Educational visualization is using a simulation to create an image of something so it can be taught about . This is very useful when teaching about a topic that is difficult to otherwise see , for example , atomic structure , because atoms are far too small to be studied easily without expensive and difficult to use scientific equipment .
Knowledge visualization
The use of visual representations to transfer knowledge between at least two persons aims to improve the transfer of knowledge by using computer and non - computer - based visualization methods complementarily . Knowledge transfer may be significantly improved using hybrid designs as it enhances information density but may decrease clarity as well . For example , visualization of a 3D scalar field may be implemented using iso - surfaces for field distribution and textures for the gradient of the field . Examples of such visual formats are sketches , diagrams , images , objects , interactive visualizations , information visualization applications , and imaginary visualizations as in stories . While information visualization concentrates on the use of computer - supported tools to derive new insights , knowledge visualization focuses on transferring insights and creating new knowledge in groups . Beyond the mere transfer of facts , knowledge visualization aims to further transfer insights , experiences , attitudes , values , expectations etc .
Product visualization
Product visualization involves visualization software technology for the viewing and manipulation of 3D models , technical drawing and other related documentation of manufactured components and large assemblies of products . It is a key part of product lifecycle management . Product visualization software typically provides high levels of photorealism so that a product can be viewed before it is actually manufactured . This supports functions ranging from design and styling to sales and marketing . Technical visualization is an important aspect of product development . CAD - drawings and models have several advantages over hand - made drawings such as the possibility of 3 - D modeling , rapid prototyping , and simulation . 3D product visualization promises more interactive experiences for online shoppers , but also challenges retailers to overcome hurdles in the production of 3D content , as large - scale 3D content production can be extremely costly and time - consuming .
Visual communication
Visual communication is the communication of ideas through the visual display of information . Primarily associated with two dimensional images , it includes : alphanumerics , art , signs , and electronic resources . Recent research in the field has focused on web design and graphically - oriented usability .
Visual analytics
Visual analytics focuses on human interaction with visualization systems as part of a larger process of data analysis . Visual analytics has been defined as " the science of analytical reasoning supported by the interactive visual interface
Its focus is on human information discourse ( interaction ) within massive , dynamically changing information spaces . Visual analytics research concentrates on support for perceptual and cognitive operations that enable users to detect the expected and discover the unexpected in complex information spaces .
Technologies resulting from visual analytics find their application in almost all fields , but are being driven by critical needs ( and funding ) in biology and national security .
INSIGHT
visualization is critical to data analysis . It provides a front line of attack , revealing intricate structure in data that can not be absorbed in any other way . We discover unimagined effects , and we challenge imagined ones . Data by itself , consisting of bits and bytes stored in a file on a computer hard drive , is invisible . In order to be able to see and make any sense of data , we need to visualize it . In this chapter I ’m going to use a broader understanding of the term visualizing , that includes even pure textual representations of data . For instance , just loading a dataset into a spreadsheet software can be considered as data visualization . The invisible data suddenly turns into a visible ‘ picture ’ on our screen . Thus , the questions should not be whether journalists need to visualize data or not , but which kind of visualization may be the most useful in which situation . In other words : when does it makes sense to go beyond the table visualization ? The short answer is : almost always . Tables alone are definitely not sufficient to give us an overview of a dataset . And tables alone do n’t allow us to immediately identify patterns within the data . The most common example here are geographical patterns which can only be observed after visualizing data on a map . But there are also other kinds of patterns which we will see later in this chapter .
Using visualization to Discover Insights It is unrealistic to expect that data visualization tools and techniques will unleash a barrage of ready - made stories from datasets . There are no rules , no ‘ protocol ’ that will guarantee us a story . Instead , I think it makes more sense to look for ‘ insights ’ , which can be artfully woven into stories in the hands of a good journalist . Every new visualization is likely to give us some insights into our data . Some of those insights might be already known ( but perhaps not yet proven ) while other insights might be completely new or even surprising to us . Some new insights might mean the beginning of a story , while others could just be the result of errors in the data , which are most likely to be found by visualizing the data .
APPROACH- Two Approaches to Data Visualization — Understanding and Persuasion . This type of visualization is often a collection of basic charts and graphs . The goal is to present the data in an in - depth and unbiased way . The second type is visualization for persuasion .

Challenge As a member of the School District Administrative Leadership Team , I was tasked with facilitating an activity with Campus and District Administrators to think about and improve our teacher walkthrough system . In the educational environment , a phenomenon known as Walkthroughs has become the approach to capturing a snapshot of how teachers and students perform in each classroom . The administrator , campus specialist , or district specialist step into a classroom for 5 - 7 minutes , observe what is going on , and then leave scripted or preselected comments regarding the practices happening in the class . The feedback from the walkthrough form may be utilized as a part of the teacher ’s formal evaluation program and as an assessment of the campus ’ professional development needs . Rather than an opportunity for teacher recognition , teacher growth , or formative assessment of the campus practices , our walkthrough process had taken a turn toward being an act of compliance or viewed as a punitive action struggling teachers . Administrators had begun to use the forms for little than documentation and rarely connected walkthrough feedback to teacher growth or professional development needs . The challenge was to revise the walkthrough system to a process that was positive , informative and promoted professional growth .

### Input: Mind Mapping
Challenge As a member of the School District Administrative Leadership Team , I was tasked with facilitating an activity with Campus and District Administrators to think about and improve our teacher walkthrough system . In the educational environment , a phenomenon known as Walkthroughs has become the approach to capturing a snapshot of how teachers and students perform in each classroom . The administrator , campus specialist , or district specialist step into a classroom for 5 - 7 minutes , observe what is going on , and then leave scripted or preselected comments regarding the practices happening in the class . The feedback from the walkthrough form may be utilized as a part of the teacher ’s formal evaluation program and as an assessment of the campus ’ professional development needs .

Challenge and selection .
The first tool I used was the visualization of other team members , because it was
necessary to understand the needs of the people and have a common idea , and then I
was able to start planning possible solutions to the problems that could arise in the
development of the event .
The scope and limitations are other aspects that we want to develop , what kind of people
we will attract and how many people we can improve , so that people feel more
comfortable than when they compete .
Application .
Initially , the brainstorming process began , and then the information and information
gathered by customers ' employees was used to create charts and sketches of the
company 's new organization . This is very useful because customers are part of the
change , they allow us to improve and they warn us of the reasons for the failure of our
company .
We chose to add a template to this method to divide the customer 's suppliers in order to
incorporate detailed company information so that we can work more efficiently .
Insight and Approach
What I have learned from this knowledge is to broaden my horizons and to be able to
see more clearly . Many tools that I think are temporarily not essential , but , on the
contrary , are essential for the correct development of thought . Sharing ideas is a good
way to create a unified environment , as other team members have the confidence to
participate and can analyze the data together to reach an agreement and specify the
most appropriate conditions for the company .
Ever since I discovered the visualization tool , I have realized that it can not open its eyes ,
but concentrates on daily work . Visualization allows us to open our minds to understand
the needs of those around us , so that we can use it to provide services that can benefit
them .
In another project , I will choose to use visualization tools , including storytelling tools ,
because it is a good motivation for those who have not participated before to achieve the
results that can be obtained through all of these .

Coming from a family who were Joseph Campbell gurus , members of AA and writers , Storytelling is a revealing tool of connection , information , and shared insight .
After 40 years in management in Finance and Accounting for Vessel owning and operating companies , I joined a small Maritime Asset investment company . This was the first time I was on the other side of the deal . Instead of asking for investments for operating Vessels , I was now on the financer investor side . The president had called for an off site conference to work on our deal closing process and ask all of us to contribute new ideas that could improve closing portfolio deals . He asked for each employee to contribute 3 ideas no matter how crazy the ideas were .
Application
As a new employee , I decided that for me to contribute anything of value , I needed to have more information about the company ’s deal procedures . Like any small busy office , free time to explore is rare , except lunchtime . Most days we have a choice to eat at our desk , go out or eat in the conference room . The off- site conference was 3 weeks away , and I needed to get as much background information as possible , so I started asking anyone to come have lunch with me in the conference room , that I did n’t want to mess up the paperwork on my desk . Slowly within the first week , most of the 15 employees were having lunch together from 30 minutes to an hour in the conference room . I put together several prompt questions in my head to encourage employees to tell their experiences on past deals . Whenever there was a lull in the conversation , I would use one of my prompts , i.e. “ What was the best or worst deal you ever had , and followed up with what made it so great or horrible ? ” . Eventually the funny , euphoric , and disaster stories came pouring out . My favorite one was an 11th hour hold on wire transfers because an Owner purchasing a vessel did not want to pay for 50 pounds of ghee butter in the stores onboard the ship . One lunch lasted 2 hours as we heard the stories of 3 past costly deals . The natural sharing of experiences became a midday stress relief . After lunch I would quickly write on post - it notes the highlights of each
story . Days before the conference , I put together common themes of the story telling including my perspective from my past history of being on the other side of the deal table . I combined the paraphrased story quotes to present to the conference , highlighting the common areas where the specific procedures were key to the success or common roadblocks that kept repeating themselves .
As a new employee I was essentially an outsider , and I was n’t able to provide answers , but I was able to contribute a non threatening spot light on common key components from both sides of the deal process .
Insight and Approach
The story sharing was a wealth of information , that revealed several times international funds were delayed during investment closings , late information that rendered a deal dead with much expense to tales of Ship owner ’s disagreements on last minute inventories while partaking in several shots of vodka . Even though I was a new employee I was able to fully participate by building a library of my colleague ’s own stories that exposed both great strategies and bottlenecks . Another team member commented , “ we have been doing these deals for so long , the same way , we never noticed we could simply modify a step to avoid self imposed struggles or that it was possible to find problem information earlier ” .
As a result of the conference discussion on the focused areas the team came up with ideas to supplement deals with emergency financing if foreign funding got delayed : pre - closing check lists to prevent last minute missing term information , avoid disagreements before asset transfers and change accounting reporting to provide timely information and documentation to identify dead deals earlier .
I do not come from a design thinking background , but have realized that design thinking tools can be used even for the smallest projects . Anyone regardless of position or experience can apply design thinking tools to find improvement . I found people love to share their own history , with humor and to this day most of us still have lunch together in the conference room . I plan to continue to incorporate and explore the tools I have learned as I pursue my midlife career , and volunteer work .

# Challenge # I work as a data analyst in a company . My job is , mainly , to find insight from data .
One of my previous task was to distinguish who might be an online merchant from our existing customers .
Due to my company policy , I can not walk through details of how I did the job .
But I would explain roughly that it required considering several factors and complex calculation in the process .
Eventually , I needed to present the methodology used in this job in one of the conference my company holds .
To explain the methodology to management team or person who has no experience in this field seemed to be challenging .
That was how of my challenge came from .
# Selection # It was virtually impossible for me to explain everything by words .
As described in the ' Visualization Tool ' lecture video , things might be different if we try to explain them using a visualization .
To make the presentation simpler , I thought that some kinds of images or illustration might do the job .
Therefore , I decided to illustrate the methodology by creating a visualization in my presentation .
# Application # After I decided to use an illustration to explain the methodology , I tried to imagine what kind of image would help me .
I needed to explain how people interact when they are having online purchasing .
I tried several ideas but the idea that seemed to be the best one was putting a map of my country and adding man / woman icons to illustrate online purchasing activities .
I tested it with my colleagues and the result was satisfactory . Then I used it in my presentation and everything went smoothly in the presentation . The audiences paid attention and asked a lot of questions because they were interested in my presentation .

I have used story telling tool to solve the problem .I preferred this tool because it adds more effectiveness . First let me tell you the story about a boy named Stephen , who is very poor and orphan . He used to work in a tooth paste manufacturing company to feed himself . He is well skilled and with in short time he was given a promotion as a supervisor for physical department .
All was going well for few years . The M.D has decided to increase the production . So , all of the board members have decided to attain a meeting for the analysis of how to increase the company income . All the team managers and supervisors had attended the meeting . The objective of the meeting is “ How to increase the company annual income ” . All the people have referred to the past census to figure why the income has decreased .
Stephen has gone through his survey and his reports were telling that the product has still maintained its demand in the market . Users also like that taste . He noticed their product and its dimensions of the mouth of the paste . He increased the gap of the tooth mouth by few millimeters . All the team members were agreed to this plan and had done a dramatic change in production . After that the sales have increased for the product . Finally the company had succeeded in increasing their production .

### Input: A systematic approach for problem solving
I have used story telling tool to solve the problem .I preferred this tool because it adds more effectiveness . First let me tell you the story about a boy named Stephen , who is very poor and orphan . He used to work in a tooth paste manufacturing company to feed himself . He is well skilled and with in short time he was given a promotion as a supervisor for physical department .
All was going well for few years . The M.D has decided to increase the production . So , all of the board members have decided to attain a meeting for the analysis of how to increase the company income . All the team managers and supervisors had attended the meeting . The objective of the meeting is “ How to increase the company annual income ” . All the people have referred to the past census to figure why the income has decreased .
Stephen has gone through his survey and his reports were telling that the product has still maintained its demand in the market . Users also like that taste . He noticed their product and its dimensions of the mouth of the paste . He increased the gap of the tooth mouth by few millimeters . All the team members were agreed to this plan and had done a dramatic change in production . After that the sales have increased for the product . Finally the company had succeeded in increasing their production .

Challenge and Selection I am responsible for the marketing of a startup that works with the development of solutions for agricultural management . The startup is small , has 15 members and today , our biggest challenge is to talk to the agro market , which is very closed and resistant technologies in the field . As we work at home office , it is very difficult to establish communication between the team , there are always noises in the information , which ends up slowing down the processes , because we often need to redo something that was not very well understood and executed the first time . Application It will be very important to apply Design Thinking to startup because the innovation industry changes very fast and aligned with the thoughts of the team , the market and the customers is a great opportunity to leverage our tools , accelerate processes , co - create , and think in groups . Vision and approach Our team is small but very diverse , we have different profiles , which I believe design thinking will greatly contribute , since we will have to observe the whole process with different looks . Many times we think that something would work well in a way , but when we put in the group , we see that not always what is valid for me , is what the other seeks . The world is very diverse , understanding the stages of the process , understanding the customer and being assertive , really is something complex , but I believe very strongly in the strength of this approach , which is Design Thinking , and I want to transport your tools to the startup routines , and so you have more security to drive people and processes .

A relevant part of my work as a business developer consisted in analyzing data regarding production processes , costs , margins , as well as customer satisfaction rates . In doing this , I was accountable to the managing director of my division . The main problem in this division was that , despite our intensive analyses , things were kept always the same and they were difficult to change due to past legacies and traditions . The founders and higher - level managers of the company would still think that the traditional approach they had been using for years was the best , even if data was proving the opposite . At the same time , I was strongly convinced that keepings things like that was a big waste of time , resources , and money . The real case we were working on at that time was the following : the company portfolio consisted of about 20 different products , 5 of which had been sold since the very early days of the company . Understandably , the founders were particularly emotionally attached to those 5 as compared to newer and more modern products . All of our analysis proved that 2 of those 5 were not profitable anymore and we were selling them at almost zero margin . Moreover , they were old - fashioned products with no prospects of future growth . With the same resources they required , we would have been able to push an expansion abroad of newer and more profitable products with tremendous growth - opportunities .
Selection
Obviously , me and my colleagues had reported the situation to founders and senior managers several times . Nonetheless , given that the company was in a good economic situation overall and given the emotional attachment to those products by the founders , we had never been able to make them understand the importance and the potential to dismiss old - fashioned lines of products . In particular , they seemed not to be responsive to our claims because they lacked the ability to visualize and imagine a different company as the one they ’ve been running for years in the same static and traditional way . Therefore , I decided to change my approach to presenting the opportunity . Instead of concentrating of financial graphs , statistical tools and opportunity costs analyses on excel spreadsheets , I decided to tell a story based on a powerpoint presentation of what the company was like at that time , and what it could become if our suggestions would have been taken into consideration .
Application
First things first , I tried to put myself in their shoes . Of course , in a sense , it was much easier for me to dismiss the old products because I did n’t have any past legacy regarding the early days of the company . But the founders , they had ; they remembered the old days with joy and proudness and they were nostalgic about their young entrepreneurial times . If I wanted to be successful in my presentation , I should take their perspectives into great consideration . I started my presentation telling the story of the birth of the company that I was told by older employees , I even put some old black and white photos that were usually hanging on the walls . I did this because I wanted them to remember the feelings they felt during those days , the enthusiasm , the excitement and the happiness when the company was growing and success was coming . After this , I suggested that success came because they had the great ability to focus on what the market demanded at that time and what was more profitable for the company . I then focused on the present days and the future prospects of the firm , and I showed them that the company they had previously build would n’t have been the same if it would n’t be able to adapt to changing times . As usual , in a few years the ownership and the management of the company would have gone to their sons . As the management was changing and adapting to the modern world , so should the company do if it wants to remain competitive . The same feelings that I made them recall at the beginning of the presentation could have been felt also by the next generation , if only they were able to abandon the old legacies of past times . At the same time , changing the company ’s
offer would n’t mean to lose the company ’s traditions and culture , instead it would mean being able to transform and adapt to the changing business landscape . But the core principles and values of the founders would have survived in the second generation of entrepreneurs . I finished my presentation with a statement that invited them to adopt change and innovation for their sons , if they wanted them to feel the same enthusiasm and excitement of their fathers .
Insight
Before starting the presentation , I could easily understand that all the invited managers and my colleagues thought it would have been the same unsuccessful presentation we had run a number of times . Everyone had the same feeling that it would have been just another waste of time . However , as soon as I started with the new approach , I could see the surprise in their eyes . I immediately recognized I caught their attention . Everyone was now willing to listen to what I was going to say next and everyone , especially older people , was emotionally involved in the storytelling when I projected the series of old photos on the screen . I felt everyone was paying attention because I was n’t there pretending they would follow my advice to dismiss 2 old products and redirect financial investments , but I was there just to tell everyone the great story of our company and recall in the minds of everyone the great work the founders had done years before . And I changed their perspectives about the way they thought about more modern products . I found out they were just afraid to lose traditions and values , which they felt were embedded in the old products . I ensured them those values and traditions would n’t die with new products but just adapt to the new world ; in other words I gave them an alternative way of thinking of the same objective . And I made them think first of the next generation of owners and the importance to make them feel the same passion of the early days .
I immediately understood what were the limits of our previous approach and that financial prospects of the firm did n’t mean anything to the founders when confronted to their fear of losing traditions and values . I understood that what seems more logical to everyone ( probably even to them ) might be stopped if emotional factors come into play and that these can even become dominant and prevent people to make rational decisions . In this situation , I just had to start from a different starting point and approach the same topic from a different perspective . Most importantly , I understood that if I wanted to be successful first I had to provide a solution to the emotional issue and only then to the logical one , instead of the other way around .
Approach
If me and my colleagues had found out this solution earlier , we would n’t have wasted weeks of time , hard work , and mental energies . If , instead of complaining about how it was possible that such smart people did n’t get such an easy suggestion and were not willing to collaborate , we had first concentrated on the reasons that were preventing them from seeing the situation more clearly , we would have been able to save a lot of the company ’s money and create a more collaborative way of working between us and the founders / high- level managers . Also , I realized that sometimes images can be more powerful than graphs and tables , even for financial issues .
Next time , when I will have to propose a solution to decision - makers , I wo n’t be lazy anymore . I wo n’t just convince myself that the logical reasoning behind my solution would be enough also to convince other people . As I said , I think it ’s also a matter of laziness . I ’ll take the time it needs to do the necessary research about past stories of my audience , their attitudes towards the issue , their experiences , and the possible reasons and biases they have not to accept my solution . In this way , I am sure I will have higher chances to convince my audience and , even if I wo n’t be able to do so , I will have gained a lot crucial information about how people think , behave , and decide .
Just as a final note , the founders in the end ( not without pain ) allowed us to dismiss those 2 products and redirect resources to what we thought were more profitable products and to open up new businesses . They said that we all now shared a more similar view of the world and the future , and that they were looking forward to hearing from us new proposals and suggestions next time .
I enjoyed the process of storytelling a great deal !

Challenge
In Perú we have a rural population almost entirely disconnected of the world . Almost 90 % of rural population does not have access to Wi - Fi : this due to the plains , mountains and difficult access accompanied by the neglection of the government . During the pandemic , all schools closed and the only alternative to continue all children´s education was through TV or online classes .
Peruvian public education is low quality , so the scarce quantity of families in poor areas who had smartphones or TV received 3 - 4 hours of class in only two subjects : math and communication . This classes were not personalized , and children ended up with many questions and were unable to understand nor learn at all .
A group of young university students , including me , had the idea to create a program to give tutoring sessions to kids in really poor areas through our smartphones . “ Por un Perú Mejor”- ( For a better Peru , in English ) At first , we thought the whole organization would be easy , but after a few weeks we created a page in Facebook and Instagram hundreds of parents contacted us for free tutoring lessons on many subjects . We needed to create a new way to manage all this information of children entering to the program and , we needed to include more tutor volunteers and manage them correctly , like a real NGO .
Selection
As we learned at Unit 3 of this course , Mind Mapping is a useful tool to find patterns among wide amounts of data . Having many inputs on the educative problems many Peruvian children were having during online classes , making mind maps within the organizational leaders of our organization , we were able to group ideas and solutions to manage better the children and volunteers to better help children learn adequately .
Application
Analyzing our databases , we saw that Math , English and Communication ( Spanish grammar , reading and writing ) were subjects highly requested for tutoring sessions . So , after viewing this problem , we made a mind mapping workshops where we exposed the actual challenges of the organization . We all visualized the problems and concluded that we needed to prioritize the organization of the volunteers .
After this , we made another mind mapping activity were each member proposed a solution . The most common solution was to separate the volunteers in groups and supervise them constantly , give them feedback , give them workshops and help them make their tutoring sessions better . After a discussion we separated our organization into subjects , making teams of volunteers , assigning heads or leaders for each subject to supervise tutors while prioritizing .
Insight
I think that having knowledge on how to correctly mind map to organize ideas in a group of people has make our journey easier going . We are a lot of people trying to help as best as we can in our children education . We all come from different backgrounds , careers , universities and we have different ideas that we need to first visualize and organize to start working upon a well - thought solution . I studied Industrial Engineering and found this tool very useful when following a Design Thinking process not even in a group but alone . One single mind can draw a lot of solutions to a problem , we can be very enthusiastic taking into consideration we as engineers think we can have a solution to everything . The key on mind mapping is to prioritize and visualize which solutions are the best for that moment .
Approach
Mind mapping has also helped along when trying to decide what we were going to do with the money many Peruvian organizations gave us to better our tutoring system . First , we thought on giving free internet to some rural areas but that was expensive and not all children in the program will have access to it . We have many ideas on what to do with the money just because we had it . But after a mind mapping session we realized that just now we do n’t need to use that money . We were just starting and maybe we should try save it and first organize our internal processes . Mind mapping gives you many solutions but sometimes you need to question every solution by understanding if it is a short- or long - term solution what you need right now .
This course and this tool opened my analytic ability to approach data , problems and solutions . From now on I am not looking data as before . Data speaks by itself and is extremely valuable to every organization . Even more for an NGO that tries to help people with this information .

Challenge
I am a postgraduate student in management studies perusing my master ’s in Consumer behavior . During my research project , I was finding out the most common problem w.r.t conversation of water which everyone faces in mega cities like India . We have selected the problem to find a way about the conversation of water in a mega apartment and motivates residents to consume less and save water . After empathizing with the problem and doing brainstorming we came to a hypothesis solution that a digital application developed with using IOT technology which will give the daily meter reading to the residents and also with attractive campaigns with the help of local business and government will motivate them to track the usage of water and also at the same time can win coupons or award which will motivate them . We also have an alternative idea to create mass awareness drive and not use any money on technology or application which we went forward as another hypothesis and went ahead with testing both the ideas .
Selection
We were a team of 8 and was sure to apply design thinking approach to complete the project . We have gone through the design thinking workshop held at our college and found it very useful . To reduce the confirmation bias , we have divided ourselves in a team of 3 to get the appropriate data and then test both the hypothesis . We were sure that adaption leaning launch method to know the truth will help us in knowing which alternative can be easily adapted by the audience so that we can amend the idea according to the response by the residents in time and save our client 's money .
Application
We went ahead with the learning launch concept and started observing and asking residents of mega cities apartment that why will not choose either of the approach and made a list of all the rejection reasons , disconfirming facts , in an organized format . We knew that observation is a key way to learn and we have to replace ourselves in the shoe of the target audience to empathize with them . After the collation of all the data by the teams , the team members sat together and had a discussion on which is a feasible and acceptable idea for the target audience . We have two member for validating that we do not have confirmation bias .We have asked other domain colleague like operation , finance to come and validate our result as they will bring their own expertise level and we all can Share and collaborate . We have decided to suggest our client with the idea of providing a digital application with all the featured which will be useful to motivate the audience to use the application and help the client to get their revenue by a partnership with big mnc ’s to offer a discount by organizing a competition on the application as if a house is saving 20 % of water than last month then they will get 20 % off dining in this restaurant . Our client loved the presentation and happy with the results .
Insight & Approach
Well , learning curve concepts have really helped us in getting a useful suggestion for the client with a lower failure rate and helped us to save money as well . All the member of the team was really amused by the level of quality work that came out after all the hard work as earlier many were skeptical about whether we should go with the learning curve approach or not . The validity of the idea has helped me the team to be confident and present the suggestion to the client in an organized way backing all the suggestions with the facts . I am grateful to the prof for giving me and new insight into the learning curve . Thanks to the team from the researching team .

During this course , the visualization tool inspired me more than other tools . It reminds me of how I solved one of the tasks of my company . I used to work as a manager in a fashion school . Our boss decided to open the second department of school which was going to focus on sewing and couture technics . As a manager , it was challenging for me -I had to attract new customers and increase sales of a new department to the same level as the old department in a month . The visualization tool helped me out in this challenge .
Selection
In my case time issue gave me an opportunity to find out the shortest and effective way to share - and to communicate- our school 's goal with the team , to brainstorm possibilities , and to find a logical resolution . As Angela Meyer said this tool is the way of communication
Application
As a manager and artistic person as well I gathered my team and explain our goals on the inboard . I brought documents and mood boards and even found out an inspirational short film about other fashion schools ' progress story and during our meetings . after 3 hours we already had a draft of a business plan . we set a goal to do market research and research our customers - student . At the end of the week , every team member came up with a presentation that included charts , graphics , and research results . We brainstormed again and set a final meeting with our boss . As she was busy as usual the shortest and logical way to represent our team 's work and concluded result was the presentation . The plan was approved
Insight
The amazing part of our hard week was our feedbacks and results . At the beginning of the second week , we welcomed our first 15 students to the new department . Chosen design thinking tool by me worked out well . Our results for the team , for me , and our boss was blissful .
Approach
The visualization tool actually was a common tool for this school . But we used it without knowing technics and appropriate schematics . The launching of the second department gave me more aware of this tool . And this course taught how it is important and even lifesaving in management of problems and save time .
Thank you !

While a proud camera brand , the company had seen better days and I was part of a team that was tasked with providing potential ideas to invest in that could change things around . Selection : I along with a few collogues spent 3 months deep diving trying to understand the company , the market , and the customer and we put together a case . The day was appointed when we would pitch to the executive team and the approach we all landed on was a power point presentation ( ca n’t escape that ) but inspired by the tool of “ Story telling ” . Why did we land on this approach ? Because it was n’t about the numbers . It never is . We realized that if we ’ve been given an opportunity to present , it must be done right and deliver the appropriate emotion . Otherwise you might as well just e - mail a report over to the CEO . Application : We structured the story appropriately with a lot of video content - > Interviews and concept description . We started with the “ What is ” state of affairs of the company backed with data that showed the decline . We had interview with a top sales person who delivered the message that the products were n’t innovative / didn’t deliver what the customers wanted . So everything was pretty dreary at this point . Then we showed how the market had developed and focused on a few of our competitors , smaller guys who seemed to have increased market share . It was important to focus on these little fellows because they were similar to us as also rans but they seem to be doing something of late that ’s giving them a boost . Then we double clicked on what ’s been working for these companies . The seeds of what we would present as the solution was laid here . We then jumped into understanding the customer . We ran a 3 min video on the persona , what his use cases were ( detailed workflow ) and what he valued . This also contained information on how the changing market influenced this buyers buying decisions . This then set the scene for our Product proposal . This was delivered as another 3 min video of the concept ( finished end product and how it fit in beautifully in the life of the protagonist ) . Insight : It went down much better than a 50 page deck . All the supporting research was obviously part of the deck . And what it did was kept the audience engaged and built a common understanding of the proposed solution . That they decided not to go down the path was a different matter . Approach : Would I do things differently another time . I really do n’t think so . I just hope I will have the resources , like I did this time , to work with a creative to build the visual ( video ) assets to tell the story .

Storytelling design thinking strategy for gifted challenge
Challenge & Selection
My name is Rosli and I am the Leader of youth in an evangelic church . As leader , I have always
occasion to advice and help persons as counselor at church . Consequently , I am solicited by lot of
believers each week needing to be listened and empowered . Currently , my challenge is to help
two gifted having some difficulties often to get friends and feel integrated in this world . Indeed ,
gifted are very specials individuals having hyper empathy , great cleverness and passion to do
everything perfect in the church and daily life . I my case , they are very interesting persons able to
enrich my own skills and learn from others to feel normal .
Consequently , I have to listen all these persons and my best tool is the storytelling . What is it ?
According to Jeanne Liedtka and Tim Ogilvie “ Storytelling is the difference between solving a
problem and creating a cause . It allows to get people to pay attention for just a little bit longer ,
with a little bit more diligence and energy to raise the level of engagement ! ” In our context the
storytelling is the appropriate tool to help others finding themselves the way to well organize their
ideas and innovate . It mean that I used to show them the way to be more creative and design their
own strategy to feel well integrated in daily life .
How did I apply this tool of design thinking to help these gifted designing their thinking and
innovate ?
Application
As I said my application of design thinking concerns various persons . But , I prefer share the case
of two gifted in my current work . It is not a scientific analysis , but it can help you to understand
more these persons .
Firstly , I met a student who likes long life learning and did not have friends because he is an
introvert person . Generally , this kind of persons has problems to communicate theirs feelings
easily with others . In spite of he was a very clever and active person at church , his great cleverness
and geek lifestyle were an obstacle to socialize often . He is full of knowledge ’s and felt very alone
to have nobody to share with . Yet , he told me later that he felt in confident when we discussed
together . How ? Personally , I started by a time of listening during our conversation to get his
attention . After the step of listening , I always found a story to tell about the richest of his
personality and close by saying “ you are not alone , but a wonderful person like Daniel or Joseph
in the bible ” . The storytelling is a metaphoric way to help him finding his personal identity
wellbeing .
Secondly , I am the mentor of another student in Business sciences . This one is extravert and had
difficulties to accept the failures in his own life . I remember that he is always busy and study hard
to never fail . But , he felt alone to never find someone else to share all is new discoveries also .
Currently , I am his councilor because I learnt how to help gifted after my previous experience . I
can assure that the storytelling applied in this case produced good results with this business
sciences student having lot of friends and does not feel again alone .
In brief , all these experiences attest that story telling is a good support to help people to find
personal strategy of wellbeing by design thinking way to innovate . In spite of design thinking can
be apply in business , the story telling is a useful tool to change mindset and empower gifted in
their permanent seeking of social integration .
Insight & Approach
Personally , in the past years , I never knew that my practice at church was based in a very useful
tool of design thinking . Consequently , this course improves my own understanding of the
strategies to innovate and change individual ’s behaviors positively .
During my practice with the gifted , I understood that success does not depend on IQ only . They
are not as strong as we imagine , because they need affection and friends to recognize the
usefulness of their great abilities . So the story telling allows them to identify heroes sharing their
experiences and less suffer before the imperfect situation of daily life .
By applying storytelling , we can motivate , solve conflict , increase creativity , grow productivity
and promote social integration of everyone . As Advisor at church , this experience testifies that
everyone needs to have friends and psychological support . In business , social changing process
and innovation , the story telling shows that it is possible to orient the energy of our mind positively
whatever our social condition to impact positively human being on this earth . Indeed , the wish of
God is to see all of us in happiness .
Another alternative approach to apply design thinking with gifted can be “ learning launch ” as in
my case because I take course with them to reduce their feeling of loneness . But , I believe that the
different tools underlined in this course can be tested with gifted regarding their profile although
you will need to get their confident before in order to have great impact in your challenge to help
them .
Thanks for this course and I hope that my sharing can help you to see the gifted differently and
manage their great potentials easily in your business and life because they are source of high
innovation .

Storytelling , as one of the most powerful tools in business strategy , has
been used by me for a long time , approximately since the first time I
thought about blogging .
I have a blog on Instagram , where I share with everyone my skills in the
field of fast processing of a large amount of information .
I write reviews on books , analyze what I have read and tell people about
it . That alone does not translate into my blogging goal of selling my
speed reading course .
But sales skyrocket as soon as I start telling stories . Where I am the
protagonist .
People love to listen to stories . People love people and buy from people .
Therefore , with the help of stories I satisfy their need for high - quality
human communication , and they reciprocate me by buying my speed
reading course .

### Input: Storytelling .
Storytelling , as one of the most powerful tools in business strategy , has
been used by me for a long time , approximately since the first time I
thought about blogging .
I have a blog on Instagram , where I share with everyone my skills in the
field of fast processing of a large amount of information .
I write reviews on books , analyze what I have read and tell people about
it . That alone does not translate into my blogging goal of selling my
speed reading course .
But sales skyrocket as soon as I start telling stories . Where I am the
protagonist .
People love to listen to stories . People love people and buy from people .
Therefore , with the help of stories I satisfy their need for high - quality
human communication , and they reciprocate me by buying my speed
reading course .

Challenge
I am a student at the ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY . I am currently studying a degree in industrial engineering , in which teamwork is used too much , in addition to that many jobs are to devise new things , to find new ways of doing something ; In addition , the university career has as one of its objectives , to improve the efficiency and production of any company or organization , in which we go to work or contribute ; obviously to improve or get better products , you have to innovate .
So I chose mind mapping , as a tool for my challenge , since it is very useful when it comes to innovating ; For me the most useful , since we are not going to be alone with our idea to solve or improve certain things or to get a new product , but we are going to have many more ideas and a variety of interpretations about a certain problem and thus be able to try different , solutions or ideas , to do the best for the company we work for or the project that we must carry out throughout our university career .
Selection and application
This tool , will help me or will help me a lot to my study partners , since in order to do many of the jobs or projects that we face throughout the career , since it will give us different perspectives and solutions to a certain problem or fact . For this reason , I selected the mind mapping tool .
On how to apply this tool , it has application for my life as a university student , because as I have previously said , throughout my undergraduate , I am going to find many projects and works , which will be the vast majority in groups , so With this tool we will be able to gather different ideas and approaches to carry out our projects .
It also has application in my professional life , since the labor field of my university career , the majority is focused on constantly improving what a company or organization offers or does , then , as in the company or the job in which I work , There will be many other people working with me , because if we need to solve a problem , improve a product or simply innovate , we will first collect data , look for patterns and different perspectives , and we can have many ideas and hypotheses to arrive at the most optimal solution and the one that we need .
Insight
I have not yet applied this tool , but I know that , being a tool that requires collecting a lot of data , searching for patterns and from different perspectives , you can learn a lot about the ideas and ways of seeing of the other people who work with us .
Approach
Well , with this tool you would do many different things in terms of solving problems and the reason is that this tool is about gathering a lot of data , considering different perspectives on something and as a result of this you can come up with many ideas and hypotheses to solve a problem , improve a product or service , or try something new to improve the lives of a company 's customers or people .

My company is facing a decline in sales and patronage due to the emergence of new startup companies , that have disrupted the market we operate in . Now as the product designers we conducted surveys , product insights , and some data analytics to find out whether to develop new , modify the existing , or maintain the existing products .
I choose the Mind mapping technique in order to identify the patterns and insights in the data I collected during the research . This is done to find which is the best idea .
APPLICATION .
Firstly , I together with my team created a gallery of the ideas and data we gathered during our research , these ideas were divided into clusters and each is displayed on screens in various sides of the meeting room .
The stakeholders were then invited into the meeting room and each after briefing them about our design criteria , each was given a clipboard , sticky notes and a pen . They were then asked to move around the room to have a look at this ideas and data , also to come up with their own perception and insights about what they see . This lasted for 30 minutes .
Next , we asked each of them to go through their notes and to filter and group these notes in terms of similarities in the theme and context . We gave out 10 categories on which to they can classify their notes . This activity carried on for 10 minutes .
After arranging their ideas , to our greatest dismay all their notes centered around 4 categories out of the 10 we provided . So , under each category , we converged the idea from each of the stakeholders\participants and then discussed on each category one after the other to find out the connection and relationships between them .
Finally , we developed and agreed on 7 different products that the company will adopt in its business strategy as a result of the mind mapping process .
INSIGHT & APPROACH
At the end of this activity we understood that the best approach to finding the what if in a design thinking process is to display the set of findings and invite stakeholders to have their share of opinion on the information gathered , through this we were able to arrive a t a solution that suits all stakeholders and will hopefully have impact on our sales .
With the effect and end result of this mind mapping , I will like to involve more participants and even external parties and customers next time I am conducting a mind mapping in order to achieve a more inclusive and customer centric product .

Challenge I have been working in Consultive sales . One aspect I truly value is bringing value to Customers and finding excellent solutions to help Customers tackle problems and establish long positive partnership relationships . To be able to do my work , with positive impact , is extremely important to understand customer context : - his difficulties , - objectives , - thoughts , - emotions and - be empathetic with customer .
Sometimes Customers do not want to share their problems because they can be seen as weaknesses , or the customer is not able to articulate problems and objectives in a straightforward way . Other times there are customers who understand Sales People as just another seller , without any anything new to add . In this context , customer is not open to share any ideas .
Selection When I have difficult customers whom do not want to share information , or that are not able to articulate want they need , I use storytelling . Storytelling is an excellent tool to use while interacting with customers , since : - Puts customer , as a human being and its experience in the center from our relation . - And helps us to take the customer as listener along on the journey .
Using stories and vivid examples , with a beginning , a development and a conclusion which relate to our listener , helps establishing connection and building empathy .
Application Before speaking with a customer , I plan and collect new stories which I believe are related to his Company context and the subject we are working on . When in front of the customer presenting a new solution , I plan and present the business idea like a story line , it has to be a coherent and compelling story to grab attention , with examples from other customer ’s references which relate to the listener . The listener has to connect to the needs and advantages I am communicating . I start with the challenges and difficulties from similar customers , afterwards I present the solution features and how they address the pain points , with vivid examples on how they tackle customer difficulties and improve business . I have experience in using this “ Sales ” storytelling , to gather customer additional pain points , empathy and help customer have the best solution for their context . It is a win - win approach for both and a very rewarding approach , since I can add value to customer with ideas to tackle their problems .
Insight I have learned storytelling is an excellent way to relate to others emotions , objectives and ideas which are not articulated . Telling a story about other Companies tackling the same challenges or objectives , make customers connect and start applying the experience to their context , and also gives a common ground to have honest discussions on how to do help the customer evolving .
Storytelling applied in this way is an excellent tool to help get customer feedback about :
• what is – what are the customer pain points .
• what if – what happened if the Use Cases were applied to customer reality ?
• what wows – what customer values in the solution ?
• what works – what could work in customer context .
Approach Complementary to storytelling , I would use visualization . If we can present a mockup or a demo from a similar problem customer has , which was tackled , the possibility to gather additional information from customer context and objectives , increases . And with it , the possibility to gain competitive advantage in answering with a correct solution .

Challenge Currently , education in the universities of Mexico have been designed to design academic programs according to guidelines provided by the Ministry of Education . These programs are periodically subject to evaluation criteria based on studies carried out in the business sector , in which the requirements that are being requested of young professionals and especially business , engineering , medicine and technology are being assessed . . These concerns are reflected in the programmatic contents of the courses and their duration . The universities registered in the Ministry of Education evaluated through a test when students finish their academic training through the CENEVAL test in which the level of knowledge acquired by students during their university stay is measured . Many of these students graduate with very low scores ( below 850 points ) which demonstrates the low level of performance with which they graduate from universities . In this regard , graduated students generally fail to place themselves in relevant positions as they lack experience and in many cases knowledge that has not been acquired in universities since they lack an adequate update of the skills demanded by the Mexican labor market . In this regard as an academic with more than 35 years of experience in private universities and the government I see a huge area of opportunity that should be capitalized by offering continuing education courses to many of these graduates of these universities .
2 . Selection The “ What is ” aspect is to offer updated training to these university graduates to be able to be captured by companies that demand young professionals being the insight “ knowledge , skills and use of technological tools ” that allow them to work as professionals with a good professional profile . In this regard , the creation of a continuing education center is valued to capitalize on the training and updating of knowledge that must be acquired to be competitive in the labor market . The Monterrey Executive Development Center company was created in August 2019 , with the
objective of training the young graduates of universities and executive professionals with the skills demanded by the Mexican labor market . The first thing that was done was to invite 50 chief recruiters of human resources from the main companies of the state of Nuevo León and request what are the requirements and job skills that are being demanded in their
companies . The design criteria are by area of valuation by sectors , the same engineering being : processes , industrial , electronics , systems , electromechanics ; Business : marketing , international business , communication , graphic design , finance . For practical purposes in this first stage the requirements of these professional profiles would be covered . For this purpose , the Mind Mapping tool was chosen and video lecture “ the idea Generation Process ” was taken as a reference since it is adequate to cover the education challenge . Mind Mapping allows us to investigate the different scenarios that could be covered through Mindset of options that can be discovered in this design thinking tool . 3 . Application Already chosen the Mind Mapping Tool as a scheme to generate innovation in value and based on the design criteria by knowledge sectors Brainstorm Ideas of the professional competences that should be developed in each of the cluster of professional careers was carried out . The mural.co app was used and the collaboration scheme was used in which from their mobile device or tablets they made their contributions by group . Each group presented their results in
a Mind Mapping that reflected the professional competences that should be generated by each of the professional careers studied . The results obtained from these insights were transferred to the design criteria to exemplify the actions to be carried out in the development of the courses or workshop to be offered to the professional and executive community in Nuevo León . 4 . Insight The results of Brainstorm ideas were grouped and consolidated according to the methodology of Carol Dweck of Stanford University . In this regard , the insights were grouped into the main “ growth mindset ” and from it the main 10 insights were obtained that have an important inherent nature in the current business market . Through this procedure we are covering the “ What if ” of the Thinking design .
These 10 Growth Mindset Insight are the relevant ones to be taken into consideration in design criteria when designing the professional Workshop to develop the job skills that are required by the companies consulted . Gaining Empaty is very relevant for the job and especially in the areas of customer experience ; Creativity is to develop the skills and knowledge to develop innovation in value ; Engage Technology is to be aware of new technologies and make them their own in the development of their day - to - day work ; Analytic Thinking is forging critical and analytical thinking to solve problems ; Group Facilitator is knowing how to interact with people and knowing how to work in collaborative environments to meet the challenges of companies ; Staying Up to date is to be monitoring all current and especially future trends that are presented internationally and take advantage of that knowledge for the development of products or services offered ; Curating Information is the efficient management of information for the development of business intelligence ; Foresight is related to the recognition of patterns or trends in a certain business sector or as David Bornstein said a social entrepreneurial asset is " Intelligence is the
ability to predict the future " ; Multilingual Facilities we are referring to the knowledge and mastery of several languages in order to have direct communication when interacting and / or negotiating with executives of global companies ; Writing Facilities is the knowledge and ease of writing documents in different languages while maintaining the appropriate grammatical structure and corresponding accentuations . 5 . Approach Within the approach , the conducting the environmental scanning , setting the objectives of the organization the change of Insight of the companies will be taken into account . At this circumstance we apply the “ Why ” to describe the action to be make to adapt to demand the market . Simulation could be the right tools to see the most appropriate model in different scenarios that could be presented taking into account the trends that the market marks . Another option is Make prototypes workshop according to the behavior of the business market . 6 . Organization The Design the on - Ramps will be very easy . There is going to be a director who gets feedback from stakeholders and the hiring of experienced trainers , administrative assistant who is in charge of customer acquisition , a social media assistant who is in charge of advertising campaigns on social networks and externally an accountant who will keep track of the cash inflows and outflows of the organization .

I am managing a small team of consultants , technical architects and developers at a Cyber Security firm . My team is responsible for incubating high - tech products which could improve cyber risk posture of enterprises .
In recent years , cybercrime has grown at an unprecedented rate . Attackers are not only motivated with monetary objectives but are often seeking to achieve Corporate Espionage and geo - political goals . Since there exists no silver - bullet , organizations are forced to adhere to a multi - tier security approach , and for that enterprises are required to build multiple competencies , such as :
• Vulnerability Management • Risk analysis and Mitigation plan • Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems ( IDS and IPS ) • Security Information and Event Management ( SIEM ) • Security Operations Centre ( SOC ) equipped with Cyber Threat Intelligence Capabilities • Firewalls and Anti - virus solutions
We are constantly in look - out for new ideas to be developed , prototyped and hopefully commercialized . But stakeholder buy - in is a must before any substantial resources could be committed .
Challenge
In our organization , every novel idea on the shelf first needs to be internally approved and then vetted by the steering committee . Stakeholder buy - in is required at multiple stages and biggest challenge faced by my team is to sell the idea to the senior leadership , who often have limited time and technical expertise / inclination .
Recently we came up with an idea of developing a Blockchain enabled Access Management System , but the challenge was to sell this to the senior leadership , in a meeting timeboxed for 20 mins . Blockchain still being an emerging technology , we expected to face confusion and misconceptions in the ballroom . Having learnt the Design Thinking Process , we knew that we were in the second phase – trying to tackle “ what - if ” , exploring the possibilities our new idea presented . Now was the time to communicate the idea to win stakeholder patronage .
Selection
Storytelling , as explained in Week 2 courseware , is a powerful tool to communicate an idea to the stakeholders . It is an excellent tool to share experience , explain values and interconnections between actors in a given scenario . More than helping solve a problem , a great story helps look for a cause . A compelling story has following fundamental attributes :
1 . It is created for a specific audience 2 . It has a clear sequence of events 3 . It has some carefully designed moments of reflections , which build suspense and intrigue the audience
Nehemiah Thomas , Leadership Development Director at Mars Inc. , explains in the 2nd Week class that a story of transformation begins with a challenge that the organization currently faces and then gradually introduces the actors impacted by the current situation and tensions that they have because of the problem , and finally towards the end it provides the solution to the problem .
We selected storytelling tool , since in our situation , where we needed to convey our idea and win confidence of the leadership , it appeared to be the best solution . Without getting deeper into the technical details of the proposed solution , we wanted to convey its value and real - world problems it could potentially solve . Storytelling seemed to be the best possible way of engaging our audience .
Application
We introduced fictitious actors – Mr. Unknown ( a cybercriminal ) , The Alpha Retail ( an online retail store ) , Sam ( an online customer ) and David ( information security officer ) . Via visuals and storyboarding we explained the current challenge -
1 . Sam needs to provide his email ID , password , credit card details and address details ( collectively referred to as Personally Identifiable Information - PII ) for any transaction at Alpha Retail . Sam is worried about any possible misuse or leakage of personal data 2 . David needs to take every possible security measure to safeguard Sam ’s PII stored by Alpha Retail . It costs money but never promises infallible security . 3 . One miss and Mr. Unknown steals away treasured PII – uses it for fraud , extorts Alpha Retail .
After establishing the real - world problem and its strong implications , we explained our proposed solution where Alpha Retail will not require to store Sam ’s PII anymore . Information once captured will be hashed ( strong encryption using SHA-256 ) and written on an immutable distributed ledger ( Blockchain ) . At login , Sam ’s credentials will only be hashed and matched with the hashed record available at the ledger , and access will be granted on successful match . Non - storage of PII , will simply mean no risk of it getting stolen – thus reduced cost in security for Alpha Retail and better efficiency at David ’s end . Sam is happy too , as he knowns that his PII is not stored by Alpha Retail .
Insight
During the process of creating story , the internal team was able to reflect better on the solution . We got to come at a better understanding and clear consensus about how different actors were impacted and how our solution promised to solve their individual problems . It enabled us to present a better case in front of the steering committee . Leaders , to which this story was presented , engaged with the Idea and were able to appreciate the magnitude of the problem and the impact it has every year on the retail industry . Storytelling enabled us to explain a complex business problem and even more complex technological solution to a wide audience quickly and effortlessly .
Approach
In a similar situation , I think we will repeat the same tool , as it meets the constraint of limited time and executive meeting scenario . However , if we will be allowed to extend the meeting for a longer time , we would like to engage the audience also in the storyboarding exercise . We would like to invite the leadership to pick up each actor and associate them with a set of challenges / tensions . This would not only ascertain a much higher level of engagement , but also help the incubation team learn from the plethora of industry experience that the leadership team possesses .

Challenge and Selection :
Technology is changing rapidly , businesses need to adapt in order to survive and serve clients efficiently .
Visualization tool helped our team in one of our biggest projects , the Onboarding process digitalization .
When we started conceptualizing , ideas are everywhere and it seems like we ca n’t proceed and agree on things . Our team thought of using the whiteboard to visualize our reality or current processes and ways to reach our end goal . Through this , all ideas were presented which resulted to continuous flow of ideas and fruitful discussion .
Application
We started by laying out the flow charts of our current processes , current challenges and the picturing our end goal . It helped us understand our current process and gain consensus with the team . It allowed the team the discuss freely and check if there are any disagreements .
All ideas were presented to see relations , order and connections of the processes . Using Visualization simplified the discussions . It helped us convey and interact more .
In addition , after discussing the current processes and challenges , we also used Visual thinking in designing our new digitalized process . We draw shapes , figures to picture what the new system would looked like . Having a clear picture of our goal really helped us to successfully carry out the project .
Insight and Approach
Looking back , I realized that we should have also used other Visualization tools such as graphs , charts , infographics to properly present data and numbers .
When challenged again to accomplish a project , we will still use Visualization because it really helped us present and gather ideas , retain more information and see the big picture .

Challenge & Selection
Working under the Ministry of Education and Science once I was visiting a country - wide event held by the Republican Alliance of Students . This alliance consists of students from all the universities of our country and its mission is to create conditions for the effective implementation of the intellectual , creative , spiritual and innovative potential of the student youth in the country . The main goal of this movement is the solution of legal , socio - economic and everyday problems of students and active participation in the formation of an independent state . I was invited as a representative of the Ministry and was supposed to make a speech on current trends in the area of higher education as well as address some relevant questions and motivate participants . Is the presentation about the condition of the higher education system was not problematic for me , so the part of my presentation where I had to motivate , inspire and praise students caused me a lot of confusion and worries .
Since school years when I was a learner , I have understood that visualization is a super powerful tool for catching the attention of listeners and making the whole presentation more alive and interesting . It is used when words are not enough to express your vision and opinion . Thus , I decided to make my speech alive and to show what exactly I felt .
Application
This event lasted two days and , fortunately , I was presenting on the second day . It is worth mentioning that I am a big fan of photography and video - making and that is why there is always a video camera with me on all the trips . So , during the first day of this conference where the President of this movement , as well as some key actors and stakeholders , presented , I took a lot of videos . I captured the most enthusiastic and inspiring moments – among which there were some when students asked interesting questions , debated , expressed their feelings , etc . In the evening of that day , I made a several - minutes video clip with the most expressive footage .
Then , the nest day when I was presenting , I first asked to show this video just before my speech . To say that students were surprised and happy to see themselves is probably to say nothing . They loved it !
I started my presentation about current trends in the education system in our country with the followings words : “ Look at this video , at these enthusiastic people on it . These are you . You are our future and you should be proud of yourselves . Stay fair and honest , open to new perspectives and respect academic integrity … ” After my presentation , many students came to me and said that this was the first time when a person from the Ministry could understand and motivate them . I was super happy .
Insight
The most important insight I have gained is that it is crucial to adapt to current realities – time , place and people . I felt that the audience I was talking to was different – and that is why decided to take a different approach to them . Another lesson is that visual support is essential . Always and everywhere . It may look different and change per different conditions . However , it is necessary to make people listen to you and not just listen but also understand and feel the interest in what you are speaking about . Even a formal PowerPoint presentation at the Ministry can be interesting and have some visual effects .
Approach
I am sure that all the tools of design thinking can be used in the different situations of our life . It is up to you which one to choose and how to adapt it . For example , in my routine life , I often use Mind Mapping at work if I need to understand something . I have asked for a marker board in my office and draw there the tasks&deadlines of our department . Also , it is an interesting way to make your speech powerful if to start it with a real and touching story – this is how storytelling works . To sum up , once you have started using design thinking in your life – it is impossible to stop . Moreover , the more professional and interesting its manifestation becomes .

Visualization Reflection
Ramy Ana
As a vegan and living in Brazil I always struggle to find the appropriate products in the supermarket . In our reality we do not have so much options like in USA or Europe , so we always need to read all the ingredients at any product and check if they are vegan . There is no such thing as vegan sticker in the package or something similar .
With this kind of situation by default I tend to use the tool , called Visualization in this course to find a solution . With this tool we are able to see in a holistic way the problem , from the producer to the consumer and how to made the two side work actively and together .
This tool allowed me to think in a different perspective than I was used to . Using a mind map to figure out the actor involved gave me the opportunity to think in some different solutions . Also , by listening to my friends who are vegans finally made me figure out a possible solution .
Actually , the state of art of my idea , is to develop a new app where people will be able to add new products . And , me and some volunteer friends on the other side could check with the manufacturers if the products are really vegan in case of some disagreement or missing information . As consequence , in a reasonable amount of time we will have a good database , making the life of vegan people in Brazil easier when going to the market .
After , this course , I would like to try to analyze the situation using the four tools mentioned . With this I will be able to develop my ideas with a strong and analytical ways than before . I think that is still too much work do , and before the development of this tool I will use the insights presented in this course to improve it .

Challenge
I am working as a research scholar dealing with various real life situations related to environmental conditions that need to be approach for more reliable and accessible solutions . As a researcher my job is to address the problem happening in the daily life related to environment like pollution in water , wastewater , air and soil . I undertake various projects related to variety of the unanswered questions which need to deal in far more practical ways that requires extensive experimentation and data collection . Also , I have certain obligations to finish the undertaken projects within required timeframe usually varies between 3 to 4 months . Here , at this point of inference I would like to focus what type of problems usually we deal while performing various task at hand and how do we manage those using various design thinking strategies that I learn so far in this course .
Selection
Right now , I am working in a project which is required to evaluate the performance of the reactor that we developed in our lab dealing with treatment of the landfill leachate , using learning launch tools , like conducting experimentation twice in week for about 6 months continuously on the selected parameters is a huge task at hand .
Application
Here , I focused on the developing the methodology , structuring various design stages , assigning task that need to be completed within the time limit . More specifically , I wanted to see the results of the reactor that we installed in the lab on the regular basis . We have specified certain hypothesis , generally developed by reading various research articles , finds the gaps that need to be address dealing with performance evaluation of the reactor . Here , as the task in hand requires more volunteers that is required to run the project smoothly , I had undertaken various interested graduates who want to explore the possibility of research in their coming future . I conducted series of the session in order to give them the required set of knowledge for conducting various experimental lab analysis . Prioritization of task that need to be take care must be checked in each stage as the project proceeds further . More surveys are completed to gather the samples that need to be treated acquired for various nearby places .
Insight
By applying various design learning tools such as learning launch , I have made certain hypothesis , make sure to launch the tests these hypothesis . Moreover , the results which we acquired , gives us more insights that employs far better methodology formation with greater impact towards the development of the prototype that would be quite more economical and reliable . As the project proceeds , using various design thinking skills implementations , certain new insights will be generated which can be incorporated in the future launch designs . As a result , we would be getting more fast work that is completed with the time period using design thinking timeline .
Approach
Stating that I have successfully implemented various design thinking analogies and applying those tools I am certain that techniques like learning launch is very useful mechanism dealing with these kind of situations . Also , in coming future , more reflect insights will be formed , development will be made .

1 . Challenge
Our company decided to invest in an online education platform on financial education issues with the intention of marketing these courses in the cooperative sector , in higher education colleges and the general public in Colombia .
The technology on which the platform was assembled was revised and modernized and additionally a pedagogical and instructional review was made to allow meeting the pedagogical requirements of the schools .
Additionally , a digital marketing process was started , generating paid campaigns on Google and Facebook in order to attract attention to the courses to potential customers and users . Contacts were also made with some public and private schools and officials from the Bogotá and Chía mayors .
However , after a year of starting the project , the commercialization had not generated the expected results in either of the two selected market segments despite having a very good quality product , faced with the decision to continue with the project or not .
2 . Selection
As Stephan Naumann indicated in his lesson on Test Launches in Module 4 of the Design Thinking Course at the University of Darden , we in the company made a business plan and analyzed it theoretically and with the knowledge available on our part ( limited because the line was new ) and the business partner ( whose main strength was to be the pedagogical expert ) and we launched ourselves to execute it without previous tests .
However , given that the results were not occurring after more than a year of having started and taking into account that the company was not in a position to make major investments in the project , it was decided before aborting the project to seek a less traditional approach to refine the business model and we found in the test launch methodology an interesting and appropriate alternative to “ learn quickly and cheaply ” .
3 . Application
Before deciding to use the chosen model , we had been operating the Financial Education Courses for free in four public schools in the Municipality of Chía ( Colombia ) with a view to publicizing the product and achieving that in 2020 it could be switched to a paid
modality achieving that an item was included in the budget of these schools to be able to pay for the service .
Additionally , the aim was to generate referrals to other schools , thus seeking to link a greater number of schools . However , seeing that the inclusion in the budget of this item was not easy because the subject of financial entrepreneurship in which this course was being included was not part of the formal curriculum and that investment decisions were not the exclusive power of the rectors the aforementioned revision stop was made to rethink the continuity of the model .
Following the methodology defined by the model , the following elements were established :
• Hypothesis : There is a significant number of people and entities that need training in
financial education and are willing to pay for an excellent product and we have such a product which surpasses the products available in the market to meet this need .
• People : Among the potential clients , the following types of people were identified :
Individuals interested in acquiring financial education to achieve proper and
responsible management of their finances and to be able to generate financial stability and / or successfully advance in their ventures .
Cooperatives that within their social mission and support their associates want to
offer them training in financial education .
Higher Education Colleges that as part of their training programs must include
Financial Education topics to comply with the national government guidelines aimed at increasing financial inclusion ( which in Colombia is well below developed countries ) and improving PISA - type exam results that include such content .
• The need : To have a high quality financial education program which is not geared
towards selling you a financial product as is the case with most available programs .
• The idea that meets the need : The financial education program which consists of
three courses that cover the basic concepts required to make efficient use of financial resources and products : Finance from home Finances for entrepreneurs Technical analysis
• Better than current alternatives : In our review of the products offered , most are
shallow courses developed by financial institutions to meet a Financial Education requirement of the Financial Superintendence and to promote the consumption of their products . On the other hand , there is an offer of seminars that promise to change the mentality regarding money and remain on motivational aspects and few practical recommendations .
Therefore , it was decided to set up a pilot course with students from various schools , including public and private , some cooperatives and a representative sample of individual users with which to test our hypothesis and the basic assumptions of the business model described above .
4 . Insight
As a result of applying the Learning Release Tool , our team identified our hypotheses and assumptions and designed releases to test these assumptions . In addition , we thought about the possible results and how they would confirm or distort our assumptions through sprints similar to those we use in the company for software development .
To date , we have not yet finished redefining the product 's business model , nor are we fully certain that we will achieve that the business idea is the successful undertaking we want with a presence not only nationally but also internationally , but we are sure that the
path we are traveling is the best approach to achieve it and that if we are wrong in our assumptions along this way we will know it as quickly and cheaply as possible .
5 . Approach
What we have learned as a team from carrying out this exercise is that the design of new products , especially technology , requires a less traditional approach and that Design Thinking tools such as Launch Design allow us to mature the business idea and gaining knowledge iteratively without incurring large capital investments that ultimately do not generate any results after a considerable time .
We have decided to implement this methodology for the development of new products in the line of innovative solutions and we are seeking to apply it also for other types of internal change initiatives in which the level of certainty and available information is not the most adequate to handle it with traditional tools .

Challenge and Selection :
Storytelling is one of the most effective ways to promote an idea that can be understood by the
masses . It helps the person who one is communicating with to learn from a real life scenario that
you talk about through your storytelling .
Storytelling has played a central role in the process of human communication for a very long
period of time . Be it in the form of small anecdotes or lengthy stories , they have all been
extremely helpful in making people better understand situations . Storytelling helps people
connect with the story on another level as they can truly visualise what happened in the story
themselves and learn at the same time .
The challenge faced by me was one where I had to make use of storytelling to explain to the
stakeholders the consequences of taking certain actions . Thus I explained our situation in the
form of a story .
Application :
I was a senior partner in my firm and we were looking for ways to be able to expand our market
presence . The best solution that we reached was to acquire another company that was present in
the market and to take over its market presence as well . The valuation they assigned to their
business was almost 9 times the value that we had assigned to them but we were desperate and
the CEO was willing to make the acquisition of the company nonetheless .
That was when I had to step in and explain to them about how that was not the right decision to
be made at that moment . I explained how we had reached that level of valuation for the business
after closely taking a look at their financial books and based on our findings we saw that the
profits of the business were now stagnant . That is , they were neither increasing from the previous
year , nor decreasing . Then I went ahead to make more of a point by narrating a similar story .
I went on to explain our situation by means of storytelling . The story of Nortel , who had its value
increase ten - fold from its beginning to its peak in the year 2000 . As a result of this , they went on
to make several acquisitions . Most of them at valuations higher than their actual stock price .
They bought dozens of small technological companies and the most notable of them was Bay
Networks for $ 9.1 billion . The market cap of Nortel also went on to increase over time to around
$ 283 billion , however , their stock price began to plunge and it fell all the way to $ 5 billion by
2002 . People considered the reason behind this downfall to be the acquisition of Bay Networks at
a grossly high valuation .
Insight and Approach :
I made use of this story of Nortel to explain to the CEO of the business and the other partners
how the acquisition of another business at a higher valuation was not the right approach for it
may come back to haunt us in the future , especially considering the fact that the same happened
to a company that was in a position that was very similar to ours . Thus , I was able to make use of
storytelling as a tool and applied it to one of the biggest challenges that my firm and I faced . I
used the means of storytelling to overcome this challenge .

Example Reflection – Mind Mapping
Challenge :
All through out my career I have always been passionate about Information Technology IT and how it can improve our social life particularly in our disadvantage communities in our country , South Africa . So in September 2008 I started a Computer Literacy Academy in a township next to one of Johannesburg ’s big suburb , Midrand . My mission was to bridge the digital divide in that township by opening up a school to teach Basic Computer Literacy for all the people in that area to come and enrol for the course , attend classes , write exams and receive a Basic Computer Literacy qualification . My biggest challenge that subsequently led to the closure of my business was the fact that no one was interested in learning Computer Literacy and therefore I had very little response and no business coming in . I had to close my business in 2013 after many attempts to revive the business in many different ways . And also note that at the time I decided to close the business , because there was no interest , was also an assumption that I had .
Selection :
Because I have not used Design Thinking before and looking back to “ what could have been ” for the purpose of this exercise I chose Mind Mapping as I believe it was the biggest missing approach that could have helped me answer the real “ what is ” challenges before I even start the marketing part of my business and use the discovered insights and that deep understanding to structure my marketing efforts that will have resulted in good turnout and better revenue growth for my business . Mind Mapping will help me to do a thorough research , Brainstorm Ideas , Establish the right marketing approach and develop the right go - to - market strategies .
Application 1 :
With my passion for IT and Training and Development I assumed that all people in our disadvantaged communities will react positively to the kind of concept that I had in mind and how I am going to roll it out . I went through all the What is / What if / What Wows / What works process on my own . I believe my idea was not too far
off , there is definitely a Computer Literacy need , however the challenge was how to come up with good marketing for my business . Thinking back , using the Mind Mapping methodology , this is the approach and application process I should have implemented ;
Stakeholder engagement - in our township there are different stakeholders for example Counsellors , business owners including doctors owning private surgeries in the township , Retail shop owners , Government service employees like school teachers , Librarians etc whom I should have invited as the first part of my mind mapping process . Perhaps invite one person from each of these multi - layered structures in one room , give them stationery eg sticky notes , and request them to write down the ;
1 . type of skills they look for when they employ people in their businesses
2 . where do they find their new hires
3 . What other skills do they believe their employees should have that will enhance their business
4 . Post these ideas on the board the see the urgent needs , common needs and perhaps other needs that I did not think off.
Insight :
This 1st Mind Mapping process would have given my business an opportunity to ;
1 . discover if there is a computer literacy need in the businesses around my
target area ;
2 . if there was no known need , use marketing approach that can educate
people especially business leaders on how computer literacy as a resource
can enhance their business and increase their revenue
3 . get a buy - in from political , business and other influential stakeholders from
my target area
Application 2 :
My 2nd approach , would have been to target , schools learners in the schools around my business , school teachers and parents . This process would have gone well and achieved my desired results if I have engaged the school learners to find
our what their desired career aspirations are , which institutions / careers their parents , as funders , are willing to invest in . I would use a similar approach as the 1st Mind Mapping engagement and request everyone to be in the same room , have sticky notes to and write down
1 . what their career aspiration ,
2 . where they wish to study them and why .
3 . and draw up a journey - map on a board using the information given , then
work out different personas and their different educational needs and how my business can add value in their educational aspirations .
Insights :
I believe this approach would have helped my business discover the real truth about the people ’s needs and not my assumptions about what I believe was the need ;
1 . first I believe this would have help me to discover that the learners , even
though they see the need for technological advancement in their lives , they
do not want to attend their tertiary schooling in the same area that they
studied for their high school . That is is important for them to go to suburbs/
big cities for further education .
2 . This would have help me realise that parents also feel proud when their kids
leave their area in pursuit for better opportunities and education and
therefore that is what they will be willing to fund
3 . this would have help me to perhaps look at my target market as learners
who are still in high school and offer my services in the afternoon , after
school , and weekends and not have after - high - school - leavers as my primary
target .
Approach
I believe this Mind Mapping approach would have help me to do the following and this is the approach I would employ in the future ;
1 . Choose the right target market for my business by using Mind Mapping to
do a thorough research
2 . Use the right marketing tools and channels to develop the right marketing
concepts that will make my target market see the value of my offering ie
informative marketing forums to educate my target market on my offerings ,
3 . Involve the government and relevant business stakeholders to influence the
community to work on their computer literacy skills perhaps by using
Sweet - Spot Marketing programs as my design established marketing
programs
3 . Play an influential role in the government and relevant business
stakeholders ’ corporate programs by constantly addressing the need for
improving IT penetration in our disadvantage communities and educate on
the benefits thereof .

### Input: Design Thinking for Innovation - Final Assignment
Example Reflection – Mind Mapping
Challenge :
All through out my career I have always been passionate about Information Technology IT and how it can improve our social life particularly in our disadvantage communities in our country , South Africa . So in September 2008 I started a Computer Literacy Academy in a township next to one of Johannesburg ’s big suburb , Midrand . My mission was to bridge the digital divide in that township by opening up a school to teach Basic Computer Literacy for all the people in that area to come and enrol for the course , attend classes , write exams and receive a Basic Computer Literacy qualification . My biggest challenge that subsequently led to the closure of my business was the fact that no one was interested in learning Computer Literacy and therefore I had very little response and no business coming in . I had to close my business in 2013 after many attempts to revive the business in many different ways . And also note that at the time I decided to close the business , because there was no interest , was also an assumption that I had .
Selection :
Because I have not used Design Thinking before and looking back to “ what could have been ” for the purpose of this exercise I chose Mind Mapping as I believe it was the biggest missing approach that could have helped me answer the real “ what is ” challenges before I even start the marketing part of my business and use the discovered insights and that deep understanding to structure my marketing efforts that will have resulted in good turnout and better revenue growth for my business . Mind Mapping will help me to do a thorough research , Brainstorm Ideas , Establish the right marketing approach and develop the right go - to - market strategies .

Challenge I am a member of my company ’s process development team for one of our core products . Our customers gave us the challenge to aggressively improve the performance of a widely adopted product in the field . This heavily used product has been used in the field for over a decade and has reached the limits of its performance as customer specifications have tightened . Our challenge is to develop a hardware improvement package that could retrofit the existing product to improve the performance of the tool . Our customers have given us 6 months deadline to develop , test , and validate improved performance of the new hardware in order for them to consider adoption of the new part . The hardware improvement package has constraints due to the existing product framework in the field , so we are limited in the manners that we may modify the existing tool . Selection Because the process , hardware , and modeling team had already done thorough characterization of the existing product , we already had ideas on how we might want to improve the hardware . We decided to use the learning launch tool because of the time constraint placed on us by the customer . As mentioned in the video , “ the key here is to do experiments that are fast and cheap ” . So , we used the learning launch tool to test multiple hypotheses and paths to improve the hardware . Due to time delays of acquiring hardware , we knew that we had to model , order , and test competing hypotheses of hardware modifications in parallel to find the best path to achieve our performance benefit and meet the time constraint by the customer . Application In order to apply the learning launch tool to our hardware improvement project , we gathered all the relevant stakeholders in a meeting . During this meeting , each stakeholder proposed their individual hypothesis on how to improve the hardware and a rough sketch of the proposed hardware design . This resulted in a list of 8 - 10 disparate modifications of the existing hardware with reasons on why each potential modification would deliver the desired outcome . None of the proposed modifications were meant to be a final product solution ; they were only meant to aggressively test each hypothesis to help us determine which path would lead us in the right direction for process improvement . After the initial discussion , we had our modeling group run coarse ( cheap and fast ) simulations which would give us a better understanding of which hardware modification plan showed a potential for performance improvement . After 2 weeks of running simulations on all of the different hardware modifications , we met again to review the simulation data and refine our ideas . This meeting resulted in narrowing our potential hardware modifications to four separate ideas . We then had the mechanical engineers working on the project design the hardware part needed to test each hypothesis . After all of the designs were complete , the team met one last time to align on the final details of the designs . After a few slight modifications , we sent the designs out for manufacturing . We chose to use the learning launch tool to test multiple ideas in parallel in order to find our pathway as quick as possible rather than simulating , designing , and testing ideas in a serial manner .
Upon receiving all the parts , we tested them as quickly as possible over a wide process window to determine which pathways would give us the most improvement and which pathway lead us in the wrong direction . As the video mentions , this was our method of generating data as quickly as possible to help guide our development of the final hardware improvement package that we would eventually deliver to the customer . Insight : By using the learning launch tool , we were able to quickly determine which hypotheses were correct and delivered performance improvement and which hypotheses were invalid . The learning launch tool helped us drop our bias on which method of hardware modification was best and enabled us to rapidly generate data to test multiple hardware modifications . In testing our hardware modifications , we were able to narrow down our initial 8 - 10 ideas into two potential paths that would both deliver performance improvement . Also , in generating data using all the disparate hardware modifications designs , we were able to gain a better understanding of the overall process and hardware . The final solution we ended up providing to the customer was a combination of the two paths that showed improvement and met the aggressive specifications established by the customer in the 6 - month deadline . Approach Overall , I was quite pleased with the success of the implementation of the learning launch tool . However , if I were to use this tool again , I would invite people outside of the stakeholders for hypothesis generation . Because we were all surprised by some of the findings and data generated , I think we would have benefited by getting some out - of - the - box ideas from people who were less familiar , and therefore biased , by our existing knowledge . This would have enabled us to do some inexpensive and rapid simulations of concepts that may have not been obvious or expected .

For this , the tools , components and creative aspects inherent to the design profession and to the person who carries out the action of designing are used .
Design Thinking is a way of offering a solution to a problem .

Challenge :
Last year I was working for an wheat beverage entrepreneurship
while I was doing an market study in the university . So , What was the challenge ? They were trying to identify and segment theirs customers to . How do they drink the product ? At what time of the day ? Did they eat something at the same time ? what flavors did they like ? and which ones did they imagine in their product ? .
In short , they wanted to know their customers to identify which flavor
they might like the most for the next launch .
Selection : Learning Launch
On that occasion , we used the classic marketing strategies to
segment the market as required by the entrepreneur . But now , I recognize that use the “ Learning Launch ” tool it would be more cheaper , fast and easy to change course through the results of " little experiments ” , testing the new possible flavors in the real world .
Application :
The entrepreneur had three new flavors in mind . So , in this case ,
each new product could be tested on the market , knowing the reception of the people . If it is well valued , it can be scaled . If not , archived in case it works in the future . So if you fail , you can go ahead and try new ideas without having a multi - sector negative impact from scaling a bad idea .
Insight :
In general , " Learning Launch " allows you to create value through
hypotheses and their confirmation or rejection by testing multiple ideas quickly and cheaply . Finally , I learned to think more agilely , not to discard ideas , but to test them . This is how you can test flavors and at the same time identify new possibilities based on people 's opinions . Plus , you eliminate confirmation bias as well . The most attractive flavor may be one that was not initially considered .
Approach :
Definitely I ’ll continue using Learning Launch due to its dynamism . It
changed my mind as a business administrator . This is much better than the classic models because it allows you to achieve a better idea than you might think originally , by encouraging you to try different ideas . And the most important , it gives you the opportunity to fail without big consequences , because at the end , this is part of the innovation .

The first tool I used was the tool of Visualization , or Visual Thinking , to achieve a
shared understanding of a problem space among a diverse group of stakeholders
before attempting to identify and define possible solutions to the problem . Due to the
‘ ‘ rush ’’ of daily life , accountants have been living - more and more - as a result of their
professional duties . As a result , these professionals are exponentially more prone to
Burnout Syndrome . The search for excellence , high positions and honorable mentions
in the companies that work make accounting professionals increasingly closer to
burnout , the Burnout Syndrome . With this in mind , it is important that leaders and
bosses are aware of the limits of their subordinates so that they can enjoy excellent
work and significant positive results for the organization .
Application
Due to the current global capitalist context , it appears that people , relationships and
professional limits are not being taken into account because the search for maximum
profit has become the focus of the world . In the state of Pernambuco , the reality is no
different . The companies , which are growing more and more and becoming
transnational companies due to the progress in technology , have been looking for a
complete professional who will attend to all tasks in the established deadline .
However , to what extent has this context , in which accounting professionals are
inserted in Pernambuco , been an ‘ ‘ good deal ’’ for these individuals ? !
Insight & Approach
Do a broad research among accounting professionals using co - working to develop
something to supply this syndrome that affects these professionals so much . That way ,
he will have active participation and the feedback will be interesting .

Challenge
Last year I was in a camp , where I needed to do a film that had no dialogue and could n’t have any scenes that included violence , alcohol or drugs . That was a great challenge because almost all movies have dialogues and if you make a mute movie it is really difficult to transmit a message . When I finally had the idea for the movie , we needed to transmit the idea to the team so that we could all record together . For transmitting that idea we needed to use the visualization tool and we needed to make a storyboard . It was very important to use visualization because it is a way to show the other people how you are seeing things and how you want something to be . It is a process that helps you see relationships and helps you to explain better the idea to other people . For the storyboard , we needed to draw every scene for the movie and with that , we could follow it and record everything much faster .
Selection
Visualization help us to show others what you are thinking in a more graphic way . It is very important because it unlocks parts of the brain and it is a new way to see every problem or case . It is using mages while you are talking so that everyone understands better the idea . Visualization is used in every part of the design thinking process because every time we want to communicate something , it is better to make diagrams . Finally , it helps you to see new relationships between things and it helps you to explain everything better .
Application
We applied the tool by making a storyboard . A storyboard is a document in which all the scenes of a movie are drawn so that you can explain better to others what it will happen . After thinking of the story and making a scrips , we started drawing every scene that we needed to record . We drew where the characters would step , their clothes and even the setting for the scene . Also , we wrote the type of plane that we were going to use and what would happen between the actors . I think that i needed to approach the tool because some drawings were missing clarity and at the end I did n’t have time to draw the final scenes . I think that I applied that tool ineffectively because it missed some clarity and not everyone could understand it .
Insight
This project changed my mind completely and let me see the importance of the visualization tool . At the end , the film was recorded very ineffectively because the tool was not used correctly . I now understand why this tool is very important and how it helps a lot to explain the others what will happen . Visualization tool is crucial for any design thinking project because it helps to involve everyone in the project and they will understand what you want and contribute to it finding relations between data .
Approach
Now that I know the importance of this tool , I will never underestimate it . In the next projects I make , I will draw everything really clear to make sure that everyone understands what will happen . I need to use this tool more often because it helps everyone to understand better anything .

Challenge
I am currently a student of business administration and for the course of projects we
were asked to develop a business model that we could test in the market . At the
university we were unfortunately taught the classic methodology of previously
elaborating a business plan , however , I was determined to apply the concepts of
design thinking to achieve our goal , which was to develop an online educational
platform to sell courses . We had a two - month deadline , so I had to act quickly , and
the difficulty increased because our resources were very limited because of the
pandemic
Selection
After talking with my team , analyzing different tools , we decided to use the learning
launch tool . As we know from the course , it is an experiment designed to quickly test
an idea and prototype .
Application
Thanks to the technology and information we can find on the Internet , we developed
a pilot course quickly focused on digital marketing , which we sent to our
acquaintances who were in the age of our target audience and interviewed later .
Insight
As we talked with people , we discovered that part of our hypothesis was true , that is ,
the course content is an important factor , however , so was the aesthetic aspect , so
to speak , which is why we had to contact some friends who were studying
communication to improve the lighting of our videos .
Approach
After making adjustments , we launched the online platform with only one course ,
which was surprisingly successful that the university decided to support us to
implement improvements and work together to reach more people , of course , with
what we learned , I know that this is only the beginning of the road , and that we will
certainly perform more tests in the short term

Challenge
We live in a world where restaurants and food outlets are plenty . Cuisines of all kinds have proliferated in recent years due to access to world - class ingredients and training . This reduces brand differentiation between several restaurants and makes it difficult for customers to choose between them . While conceiving our Business Plan for a new sandwich - joint , this is the challenge we faced . After multiple interactions with stakeholders to uncover our customers ’ unarticulated needs , we realized that we had to come up with a way of guaranteeing customer satisfaction in order to really stand out as an eatery . We narrowed down on one major challenge that needed solving- Customers were overwhelmed by the choices they have to make while ordering food . With a plethora of options available , picking a restaurant and then picking a food item off the menu card seemed to be a major cause of concern . Customers would never be sure if they would like the food until they tasted it . More often than not , their co - diners ’ food ended up looking more appetizing than their own , resulting in regrets about one ’s own choices .
Selection
The Learning Launch tool was selected to solve the problem . At this stage of thinking , our team had already collaborated with stakeholders , used various design thinking tools and had come up with ideas to test . The immediate next step was to test out these ideas to see which of them were most likely to solve the problem at hand . We selected the Learning Launch tool because it enables experimentation and does so in a fast and cost effective manner . As a business in its early stages of existence , resources like time and money available to us were of utmost value and their spending needed to be minimized . The Learning Launch tool would be a good fit with these conditions and would help us discover which of the ideas were good .
Application
In order to apply the Learning Launch tool , we came up with hypotheses for each of our two ideas to be tested . Because our business was not yet launched , we set up pop - up stores at Food Festivals to test out the two ideas . At our first Learning Launch , we wanted to test out if better interactions with the waiters could help ease the process of ordering and customer satisfaction . To do so , we trained our waiters at the pop- shop about the menu . They were taken through the process by which each item on the menu was prepared and made to taste each item on the menu . Then , they were trained to describe each item in an effective way . When customers were deciding on orders , the waiters would communicate with them to give them a better idea of what they can expect from each food item . Pictures were also added on the menu beside each item . For our second Learning Launch , we wanted to test if technology could be used as a fool - proof way to help customers make better choices consistently . A technological supplement was added to the process of ordering food in the form of a short quiz . This quiz would narrow down on what item on
the menu the customer would be likely to enjoy for the day . This would ease the food - ordering process and would hopefully increase the satisfaction they get from the food they receive .
Insight
The Learning Launches helped us test out our ideas quickly and in a cost effective manner . We understood that real - time experimentation had given us proof in a way that no focus - group discussion could ever have . We learnt that both the hypothesis had enhanced customer satisfaction when compared to data from before implementing the two ideas . Our second Learning Launch was found to be most effective . Not only did it enhance customer satisfaction but it also helped our brand stand out amongst competitors because of the technological innovation . We plan to implement this idea in our business soon .
Approach
If we were to go through the process again , we would choose to apply Learning Launches again . This is because it fits well with the kind of ideas we had to test and allowed us to accurately test our hypotheses despite our resource - scarcity .
What we would do differently : We would add one more stage of experimentation with the Learning Launch tool . After learning that using technology ( a quiz ) would enhance our customer satisfaction , we would choose to design a few prototypes of the quiz after coming up with hypothesis for each . This would help us further improve our customers ’ experience and ease their process of ordering .

Last year , in early 2014 my team and I were participating in a Design Sprint for health tech startups to develop solutions for a local public hospital in Chile . We were paired up with other team members from other startups , which was a challenge in itself since as a team you kind of get used to how you work with your own team members . Every solution had to have a technological component , meaning that we had to present something in order to be developed further in the near future . My new team and I got assigned a challenge that involved remote rehabilitation of patients with hand injuries this because of the pandemic many patients were referred to other hospitals or had to delay their treatments due to covid patients taking over most of the hospital space . We got to work , using mainly the app Miró and started to mind map our users and their needs by talking to the medical staff , the administrative staff and so on . We went deep into prototyping something that could deliver the feedback needed from the patient ’s movements to doctors and could easily work offline or on areas with poor internet connection . We felt we were well on our way until we spoke to our user . Little did we know our objective users were over 70 with a medium to low socioeconomic status , with little to no technological knowledge or even concerns about his own rehabilitation even their wives were more interested in him rehabilitating than the user himself . We hit a wall , all the solutions we were proposing were based on using zoom or other specific apps . So we went back to the brainstorming table . Thankfully we dove into our mind mapping , this technique allowed us to redirect our brainstorming with this newly added information we could make new connections of old and new information , this way we were able to provide a solution that met the user needs , knowledge and available technology without hindering the precision of the rehabilitation and data collection process . Mind mapping truly helped us pivot and redirect our proposed prototypes in little to no time .

Challenge and Selection The common tool I generally used is the tool of Visualization , or Visual Thinking , to achieve a shared understanding of a problem space among a diverse group of stakeholders before attempting to identify and define possible solutions to the problem . I use this approach often with our customers , who are manufacturing and utilities client working to apply technology innovations delivering services to their customers which are persons like you and me . I have used the technique of using a straw man visualization / low fidelity wireframes of a problem domain with a set of questions or prompts for discussion to allow a diverse group of stakeholders to learn from each other in the process of defining the scope , boundaries , key elements , and relationships between elements to consider when identifying pain points and opportunities for improvements or solutions . Application I start the process by creating a straw man graphic or use an existing low fidelity wireframes from similar problem domain . To develop the straw man graphic , I will draw from any existing material available to understand the environment . The existing material may be operational or procedural documents , standard operating procedures manual or industry standards . If materials are not available , then I conduct informal interviews with five - seven stakeholders who serve as my main points of contact on the initiative . If appropriate to the situation , I will borrow the concept to “ front - stage / back - stage ” from previous research . The front - stage / back- stage approach helps to reinforce the notion that every service – even an internal service – has customers with whom the service provider interacts and internal processes that enable the organization to provide the service . The template I often start with also has a column on the left to identify Partners and Value Chain Providers and a column on the right to identify Functions , such as Supply Chain , Procurement , Delivery , Design , Assembly , and other entities that may add constraints to how the organization operates . The straw man graphic is simple , using simple shapes and icons available in Visio or Aris tool or sometimes even in PowerPoint presentation . If the front - stage / back - stage view does n’t work , then I will create a different type of visual , either based on a high - level process flow with swim lanes for different stakeholders , or another format . For the activity , I will divide the stakeholders into groups of 5 - 6 participants each representing a different functions or area of interest . Each group receives a poster - size copy of the straw man graphic that they can write on directly , or use sticky notes to make comments . I give them two - three questions to answer , such as : 1 ) What key elements are missing from the graphic ? 2 ) What would you change about the graphic to make it more accurately reflect your problem space ? 3 ) What key insights do you have about the relationships between the entities in your problem space ?
Fig . 1 Some key snippets from Design Thinking Workshops
I give them approximately 20 minutes to discuss the questions and mark up the graphic . Then I have each group report out on their answers to those three questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their poster . As each group reports out , I record commonalities in the insights of each group , and then additional insights that come from the group discussion on an additional copy of the graphic . After the session , I digitize each group ’s poster as an artifact , create a view that combines the shared and new insights from the group discussion , and then create a revised graphic that incorporates their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group . Insight & Approach What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that while the graphic – especially the revised graphic that incorporates their feedback – is important for reinforcing their understanding of the problem they are working to solve , the more valuable aspect of the activity is the shared insights and shared learning that occurs while they are working to define their problem space .
Fig 2 . Problem Definition & Issues with Data Availability & Quality
The graphic gives the diverse group of stakeholders a focal point for discussion that allows them to share their perspectives and develop insights into potential root causes of their problems . While they could create the graphic from a blank slate in a collaborative manner , starting with a straw man jump starts the conversation for them . They can quickly identify where they are in the graphic – or if they are missing – and can more quickly gain new insights about relationships between key entities instead of taking time to identify them . They can also identify variables in the problem space – that is , it helps them to identify what they do n’t know , in what areas they need to obtain information or data to provide the values for the variables . Since I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning , next time I would use the visualization activity as a starting point for a series of design thinking activities . Then the revised graphic that incorporates their combined feedback can serve as a reference tool throughout the remainder of their work .

### Input: Visualization
Challenge and Selection The common tool I generally used is the tool of Visualization , or Visual Thinking , to achieve a shared understanding of a problem space among a diverse group of stakeholders before attempting to identify and define possible solutions to the problem . I use this approach often with our customers , who are manufacturing and utilities client working to apply technology innovations delivering services to their customers which are persons like you and me . I have used the technique of using a straw man visualization / low fidelity wireframes of a problem domain with a set of questions or prompts for discussion to allow a diverse group of stakeholders to learn from each other in the process of defining the scope , boundaries , key elements , and relationships between elements to consider when identifying pain points and opportunities for improvements or solutions . Application I start the process by creating a straw man graphic or use an existing low fidelity wireframes from similar problem domain . To develop the straw man graphic , I will draw from any existing material available to understand the environment .

Challenge & Selection
I am the cofounder and CEO of a new social entrepreneurship called USCG hair care and extensions . USCG is a hair company that not only sells hair extensions , but also uses products as a platform to promote breast health awareness to the population of African American women . After finding out that African American woman face a 40 % higher mortality rate due to breast cancer than any other racial or ethnic group , even though they are not the highest diagnosed group , my cofounder and I wanted to do something to help lower the rate . We learned that factors like late detection , improper follow up care , and general access to health resources were a few reasons for the high mortality rate . We decided to create USCG and use it to spread breast health information to other black women . This is how USCG was born , we use hair products to serve as an unconventional avenue of exposure to inform women about breast cancer and breast health information . For every order that is purchased from USCG , a portion of the proceeds goes to creating better access to breast health services for African American women . As a new startup , our challenge is spreading the importance of our message and the value of our mission not only to our consumers , but also to investors . The hair extension industry is a billion - dollar industry , but it is also a saturated industry with many hair extension companies already in existence . Our challenge is communicating to investors that our product is profitable and that our unique business concept will make USCG stand out from our competitors .
The tool we employed to help us with this challenge was storytelling . Storytelling is a great tool that allows a business to convey a message by allowing your audience to emotionally connect to your topic . When presenting statistics , especially health statistics , it is easy for people to just see a number , rather than what the number really represents and how many people are impacted . Our business is founded on the statistic that African American women have a 40 % higher mortality rate from breast cancer than any other racial or ethnic group . We chose storytelling because we knew that with our audience of mostly male investors who may not identify with the racial and ethnic group we were targeting , storytelling would be the best way to humanize this statistic and cause our audience to feel deeper empathy for the issue we were presenting .
Application
When pitching our business concept to investors we were often hounded with medical questions about breast cancer , the connection of hair and breast cancer , or about the hair industry in general , rather than questions about our main goal of decreasing the mortality rate for African American women through awareness . We realized we were not connecting our audience to our main point and how our product could solve it .
We went on the search for a story that would engage our audience of investors and paint our company to be a cause that they should invest in . While executing pop up shops for our company at several historically black colleges , we asked our customers for stories about how breast cancer has impacted their families that we could share . We spoke to a girl , who I will refer to as Michelle for the purposes of
this assignment . Michelle is a biracial , mixed with black and white , 20 something year old in college . Michelle knew that breast health was so important since breast cancer is a disease that has plagued her family . Michelle ’s white grandmother on one side of her family and African American grandmother on the other side of her family were both diagnosed with breast cancer when she was a little girl . Unfortunately , only one of her grandmothers who was diagnosed survived , and that was her white grandmother . Her African American grandmother lost her battle with breast cancer because of late detection .
After hearing this story and getting permission form Michelle to share it , whenever we had the opportunity to present our business concept we lead with this story instead of statistics . When audiences heard about how Michelle , one woman with family members from two different races was so greatly affected by the disparity in breast cancer mortality rates , audiences immediately payed attention and were able to connect with the issue much quicker than when we lead conversations with statistics . Follow up questions from our audience were geared more towards what could be done to fix this issue so that less African American women would die from breast cancer , which set us up to continue pitching our product that creates breast cancer awareness .
Insight & Approach
We realized that story telling was the best way to get our audience to pay attention to the most important aspect of our business concept . We saw that story telling can be so powerful in connecting audiences to the larger purpose . This was a grounding reminder to us about the core of our company ’s mission . It also showed us it is important to really consider design tools in all aspects of our company even when it comes to how to pitch it to investors .
Although the storytelling tool was a very successful tool for the challenge we faced , another tool that we could utilize in conjunction with story telling is visualization . This tool could further enhance our story by making our it even more tangible for audiences to understand . We could use pictures of Michelle ’s grandmothers to show our audience when telling the story . Another mode of visualization we could use would be video , utilizing Michelle ’s voice to tell her own families story . Visualization is a wonderful way to make our story more concrete for our audience and create a lasting visual impression on them .

Challenge : In our startup organization , we build compelling IOT and mobile apps and generate revenue through a subscription model . Every new idea translates to a new IOT / Mobile app product and bears a significant cost for development . In our business model , we build an idea and project it for Venture Funding . The challenge is to gather as many requirement inputs for the problem definition such that the target solution idea along with the stated problem that it solves creates a compelling proposal for venture funding . Based on initial market research we found that there is a problem with smooth operations of app - based private cab services such as UBER in the developing countries . The complete experience right from booking the cab to being dropped at the destination is compromised and seldom promises repeat business except for regular compulsive users who do not have any other better choice . There is a lack of customer delight and design thinking was required to understand and resolve the problem at hand .
Selection : Based on the background of the problem we decided to use story telling as a tool to unearth greater details about the problem . Our primary target to understand the situation were the cab drivers who were the main actors in the complete end - to - end operation loop .
Application : To apply storytelling to discover greater details our team started taking regular cab rides 2 to 3 times per day to experience the ride themselves and converse with the driver to discover the real issues that cause problems in smooth operations . We initiated story telling with drivers by stating the problems end - customers are facing by using surprise , shock and other human emotions to put our point across . In return , the drivers responded with their stories and problems and pain areas .
Insight : An example story which we used to initiate a discussion would go something like this – “ XYZ is my friend who was a regular customer and has stopped taking rides with the cab service now because of regular delays in cab arrivals at the pickup point . XYZ had taken more than 500 rides last year but has now resorted to using her personal car instead ” With initial pointers like these , surprising stories and details started emerging from the drivers and we listed down the main problems that they are facing : 1 . Incorrect input location .
2 . Incorrect destination .
3 . Long , narrow and confusing path .
4 . Lack of map and direction understanding on the map app .
5 . Lack of clarity of vision to read the road names and arrows(one - way etc . ) on the tiny mobile screen .
6 . Lack of understanding of the language for directions on the mobile app .
7 . Finding the overall experience of navigation via maps on mobile apps confusing .
These insights were extremely energizing and led us to narrow down to a solution that would solve most of the stated problems . Based on the above insights we developed the following solution that addresses the stated problems .
We build an IOT device called DriverBuddy(please see diagram ) for the Cab drivers , that they can stick on their dashboard for clear navigation and direction . The device would be a simple led arrow direction indicator for right , left , stright ahead and right or left u - turn . The device would be voice enabled with language localization for voice directions . The biggest USP of the product would be that the driver can blindly rely on the device for visual and voice directions to reach the destination .
Product Features :
1 . Clear and big visual divice that makes driving easy .
2 . Voice enabled directions .
3 . Reliable and accurate .
4 . Do not need to know map reading to reach destination .
5 . Localalization enabled – voice and directions in local language .
Alternative Approach : Give an opportunity , next time we would apply the Learning Launch tool for an initial soft launch based on our understanding of the problem and then go on improving the solution in iterations based on driver ’s feedback . This would be a very practical approach that allows us to work with a handful of customers(drivers ) and improve on the solution before market release .

Challenge :
One of my challenges is to convey to my sales team that the motivation for meeting objectives is personal and each one sets its minimum goal independent of what we can demand as a goal . If there is no commitment no results are achieved and these results must always be based on integral actions , no matter what the rest do everyone must do things right no matter who is watching . I believe that the basis for each individual to achieve goals is to have a personal motivation and act with integrity .
Motivation is based on a personal need .
Selection :
I selected the StoryTelling tool because I find them to be more impactful and entertaining to capture the attention of a target audience . It can be inspired by telling stories of achievement and improvement based on a theme and also promote the search for ideas to change the course or outcome of a story , you can convey a message , maintain interaction with the audience and capture the message using emotions .
It is a tool that allows to transmit a logical message with emotional connection and a purpose .
Application :
In each meeting with the team I promote self - discipline by practicing business policies and values , cultivating the care of work and seeking that each advisor identifies a very personal goal that promotes all their actions in favor of that fulfillment . I can set a standard goal for the group , but there are advisors who achieve more while others do n't reach the minimum because they do n't have a self - motivation , regardless of the leadership style they need . I convey that I am I support as long as things are done well , using the StoryTelling tool I give you real cases for example and guidance .
Insight :
I think I have managed to capture more attention from the team members and more interest and interaction in each meeting held with the team , the feedback also brings when listening to their ideas .
Approach :
I would improve the time and number of topics allocated to each meeting in order to fulfill the main objective and focus on being able to identify that personal need to attack in each one .

I selected the StoryTelling tool because I find them to be more impactful and entertaining to capture the attention of a target audience . It can be inspired by telling stories of achievement and improvement based on a theme and also promote the search for ideas to change the course or outcome of a story , you can convey a message , maintain interaction with the audience and capture the message using emotions .
It is a tool that allows to transmit a logical message with emotional connection and a purpose .
Application :
In each meeting with the team I promote self - discipline by practicing business policies and values , cultivating the care of work and seeking that each advisor identifies a very personal goal that promotes all their actions in favor of that fulfillment . I can set a standard goal for the group , but there are advisors who achieve more while others do n't reach the minimum because they do n't have a self - motivation , regardless of the leadership style they need . I convey that I am I support as long as things are done well , using the StoryTelling tool I give you real cases for example and guidance .
Insight :
I think I have managed to capture more attention from the team members and more interest and interaction in each meeting held with the team , the feedback also brings when listening to their ideas .
Approach :
I would improve the time and number of topics allocated to each meeting in order to fulfill the main objective and focus on being able to identify that personal need to attack in each one .

Challenge
I am currently developing a project for the benefit of the agricultural sector in my country , the challenge for me and my team is to minimize the influence of intermediaries in the agricultural field , i.e. those who resell products more expensively to consumers and pay low prices to farmers for their products .
In addition to what was mentioned in the previous paragraph , we seek to provide different tools that adapt to different profiles , that is , as a team we classify the stakeholders of the project into three groups . On the one hand , consumers , who will have access to a virtual store and a chat that will allow them to interact with the farmer , the chat is intended to answer questions that often the consumer is made when buying a product but can not solve because the information is very limited , such as for obtaining this product many pesticides were used ? what fertilizers were used to harvest the product ? The second stakeholder is the farmer , who will have access to publish their products and sell them at the price he considers relevant , also to learning tools , which serve and are a bridge to improve and get support to produce better crops . Finally , the trainers , which are responsible for providing learning to the farmer . This last - mentioned stakeholder is the component that gives a different value to our project , since in the market there are similar ideas , but do not go beyond , we as a team want to transform and support the agricultural sector in more ways , innovating and providing them as we mentioned accompaniment .
To synthesize the above mentioned , it seeks to connect the rural sector with the urban sector , in order to economic development and more flexible for consumers and farmers , in turn using new tools and models , such as teaching to grant the accompaniment to the farmer , on the other hand , for the consumer to establish direct relationships with the producer to access information of interest . Selection
As a team and listening to the target audience of our project , we established and realized that the most conducive tool and that best suited the need , was the use of mind mapping , this because it allows us to deploy central and important ideas to consider for the development of the project . Mind maps can be defined as creative solutions and it was just that what made us choose this tool , because we wanted to find solutions that had an impact , that adapted to the need , but above all to the profiles of stakeholders and especially looking from different perceptions of how the world was working with respect to the agricultural sector .
On the other hand and taking as reference the video conference called Mind Mapping Tool , from minute 8:00 in week 3 , they mention something very important , this is the exposure of new perceptions and observation , as a team we took this into account , because the agricultural sector in our country faces great challenges and what better to learn from them and know them through the people who face them daily , all that made in turn that as a team our attention was focused on the mind mapping tool , because we wanted to see from a diverse and new perception as is the structure and role of stakeholders in the field . Application
The first thing was to establish the sector , which is the agricultural sector , then to establish the stakeholders and the role they had in the sector , and then to break down the effects and the history of agriculture in our country . In order to get key ideas we tried to engage as much as possible with the stakeholders , we listened to their experiences , the problems they faced , what they were looking for and what they wanted , all with the intention of providing solutions that would impact and give opportunities to the stakeholders .
As the agricultural sector covers too many points , in order to synthesize all the ideas in a more accurate way , we observed those that are more concise , all this thinking at the time of implementing possible solutions , which of these ideas can lead us to provide real solutions and above all that represent and reflect stakeholders . By synthesizing the ideas we obtained a great result and are more specific data that helped us to finish establishing links with the object that drives the project .
Finally , thanks to the use of mind maps , to provide us with ideas in a timelier manner , we could emerge to other techniques to raise ideas for solutions , such as methods such as SCAMPER , PNI , Use Cases , among the most prominent . The mentioned techniques went hand in hand with the mental maps because they were derived from the use of these and these techniques in turn allowed us to define the model by which we wanted to solve the problem , this model is the use of technologies and through a web page to provide solutions for the field . Insight
The insight I gained led me to reflect on more factors that influence a real solution to the problem and to understand that agriculture is a huge sector , with diverse problems . The mind map detailed elementary ideas , but also brought up some questions , such as how will the distribution of the product work , what are the possible means of payment for the purchase and sale of the product , such dilemmas are essential for a positive and beneficial outcome for the stakeholders . On the other hand , regarding how the vision affected the design thinking , it was really necessary , because during the process we were only thinking and as it was not mentioned in week 1 , the design thinking goes beyond thinking , it is about innovating and realizing this through the tool was essential for a good development of the
idea , because precisely as a team we wanted to differentiate ourselves by offering something new and for the benefit of stakeholders . Approach
In the future the tool could be used individually for each topic and problem of the agricultural sector , this in order to get a concise idea and then relate it to other ideas , that is , look at each idea and study it from the eyes of stakeholders , and then break down key elements that this idea can share with others and thus finally have a result that fits more easily and more accurately to the need . The use of mind maps is a very viable option , because it reflects interaction between various parties , but if the maps do not know how to handle and if you do not make a good breakdown of ideas can not give a solution to the problem posed . In conclusion the aspect to improve is more about the organization when breaking down ideas , for a simple reason and that is that if the breakdown is not punctual , the solution to the problem will not be real and according to the need .

Described in the following topics
Challenge
The level of understanding and knowledge varies among different individuals based on their age , sex and education . The common challenge in the teaching Concepts in History , Languages like English is inability to create the visual effect by telling stories to the students of age groups 5 to 12 years in JKKN institutions . They are considered as School students and their learning ability can not be compared to the adults . The theoretical explanation in terms of stories with more clarity and visualization is great challenge to the teachers and learning population
Selection
The selected tool for this challenge is the modification of story telling with audio visual aids . The audio with different voices of different characters in the stories of History can be recorded and displayed to create the realistic effect . The visual aids like toys , models , casts and paintings mixed with the stories will avoid misunderstanding and misconception due to the blind explanation with stories in the conventional story telling process .
Application
The tool was applied in three ways one Story telling with only audio aids , second with only visual aids , third method combined audio and visual aids . The increase in understanding level was evaluated by asking questions and written tests and the bias is eliminated by giving appropriate scores . The students of age groups 7 to 12 years were participated in primary level . The recorded response is for first method(audio only ) -40 % of marks , Second method -60%,third method was considered better than other two methods which produce 75 % marks indicating its better performance and subject learning improvement .
Insight
This tool of Modified Story telling with audio visual aids created the visual impact , positive learning , increased enthusiasm among the students . The teaching staffs also changed their method of story telling with audio visual aids . The audio recorded along with the power point or other recorded presentation in clear voice and proper pronunciation clearly explains the concept and characters with expression denoted in different level of sounds . The video combined with the audio shows the images , characters , objects and the nature scenario without any deviation and realistic . The approach was working well in our school of JKKN matriculation for boys and girls . It was made updated and equipped with Google tools to use for the Professional , Arts and Engineering college students .
Approach
The basic approach of Story telling has been modified with the incorporation of audio visual aids . It can be updated with more clarity and good resolution videos , photos . The Google Education tools like Hangout meet , Google slides , Google Earth , Google Calender can be used to improve the quality of education and presentation for higher secondary , College students of adult population . The combined manual teaching , Story telling approach with audio visual aids can be used for public advertisement , health care awareness programmes and public welfare services also .

Challenge & Selection The first tool that I used was a analytics tool , to achieve a shared understanding of projects in our team to stakeholders and others in our company , attempting to identify and define possible solutions to some problems that the project and the assignees might be going through . I have used the technique of using a straw man visualization of a problem domain with a set of questions or prompts for discussion to allow a diverse group of stakeholders to learn from each other in the process of defining the scope , boundaries , key elements , and relationships between elements to consider when identifying pain points and opportunities for improvements or solutions . Application I start the process by creating a POWER BI Dashboard , with PBI desktop , connecting a google sheets file as a source of data , like a data base . To develop the straw man graphic , I will draw from any existing material available in there to understand the environment . The existing material may be operational or procedural documents , training materials , marketing materials , GAO or other auditing reports . If materials are not available , then I conduct informal interviews with one - three of the stakeholders who serve as my main points of contact on the initiative . For the activity , I will divide the stakeholders into groups of 5 - 6 participants each representing a different organization or area of interest . Each group receives a poster - size copy of the straw man graphic that they can write on directly , or use sticky notes to make comments . I give them two- three questions to answer , such as : 1 ) What key elements are missing from the graphic ? 2 ) What would you change about the graphic to make it more accurately reflect your problem space ? 3 ) What key insights do you have about the relationships between the entities in your problem space ? I give them approximately 20 minutes to discuss the questions and mark up the graphic . Then I have each group report out on their answers to those three questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their poster . As each group reports out , I record commonalities in the insights of each group , and then additional insights that come from the group discussion on an additional copy of the graphic . After the session , I digitize each group ’s poster as an artifact , create a view that combines the shared and new insights from the group discussion , and then create a revised graphic that incorporates their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group .
Insight & Approach What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that while the graphic – especially the revised graphic that incorporates their feedback – is important for reinforcing their understanding of the problem they are working to solve , the more valuable aspect of the activity is the shared insights and shared learning that occurs while they are working to define their problem space . The graphic gives the diverse group of stakeholders a focal point for discussion that allows them to share their perspectives and develop insights into potential root causes of their problems . While they could create the graphic from a blank slate in a collaborative manner , starting with a straw man jump starts the conversation for them . They can quickly identify where they are in the graphic – or if they are missing – and can more quickly gain new insights about relationships between key entities instead of taking time to identify them . They can also identify variables in the problem space – that is , it helps them to identify what they do n’t know , in what areas they need to obtain information or data to provide the values for the variables . Since I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning , next time I would use the visualization activity as a starting point for a series of design thinking activities . Then the revised graphic that incorporates their combined feedback can serve as a reference tool throughout the remainder of their work .

Challenge
I´m currently studying a bachelor ’s in economics in which , very often , I have issues getting ideas to solve a specific kind of project or exam and , also , solving them in a creative and tidy way . For example , last summer I was left with a project in which I had to make a presentation about the world´s economic situation due the Covid-19 pandemic . In this project I had the challenge of working as efficient as I could with the time given , being as creative as possible to maintain the audience entertained .
While the example mentioned has already happened , I will use it as a reference for further opportunities .
Selection
As I already tried to apply a lot of techniques to solve this kind of projects or exams , now I realize that a very useful tool that I´m sure will work for next opportunities is the mind mapping technique , which consists in making a drawing of some kind of “ spider web ” about the relevant information of the main topic .
Application
First , I should focus on the main topic to solve , identifying opportunities and making plans to approach it ( in this case , mind mapping ) . With that taken in count , I should start getting the what is information ( data about the topic , the way I must expose it , tools I can use , etc . ) . In the previous example ( in which the main topic was the world´s economic situation ) , all the economic info had to be taken from official webpages . Then , using the mind mapping technique , the next thing to do is categorize the steps to follow , taking in count the main areas of study ( in the example mentioned above , already having the data , the steps to follow could be analyze the company ’s , countries , individuals behavior , etc . ) .
After collecting all the information , the next step is solving the what if ? part . With the mind mapping already done , it should be much easier brainstorming about the best way to get the job done . For example , since in the project about the world´s economic situation I had to be creative , maybe the form of making it ( power point , video , etc . ) wasn´t as important as its content . For that , it´s necessary to go ahead with the what wows and what works steps . Here , the main task is to maintain the students and the teacher entertained , so the presentation had to be funny and easy to assimilate ( that´s what everyone wants ) . Also , I´m not an expert in editing , so I had to use a easy - to - use program .
Finally , to ensure the work done actually works , it´s good to make several prototypes and get feedbacks from family and friends .
Insight
Andy Lewis
The use of this technique will be , in further opportunities , useful to identify all the areas to explore , as it will change the way I approach the issue , making it in a more efficient , complete and tidy mode .
Approach
Of course , this course helped me get an example of how to structure in the best way possible my ideas with this technique , so , if something in my structure fails , I should try to fix what´s missing about the previous mind map made to improve it ( because I´m sure there will not be any need of using any other tool ) . However , it may be a good idea to complement it with the other tools ( visualization , storytelling or learning launch ) to improve the mind map I´ve already done ( without substituting it ) .

### Input: Andy Lewis
Challenge
I´m currently studying a bachelor ’s in economics in which , very often , I have issues getting ideas to solve a specific kind of project or exam and , also , solving them in a creative and tidy way . For example , last summer I was left with a project in which I had to make a presentation about the world´s economic situation due the Covid-19 pandemic . In this project I had the challenge of working as efficient as I could with the time given , being as creative as possible to maintain the audience entertained .
While the example mentioned has already happened , I will use it as a reference for further opportunities .
Selection
As I already tried to apply a lot of techniques to solve this kind of projects or exams , now I realize that a very useful tool that I´m sure will work for next opportunities is the mind mapping technique , which consists in making a drawing of some kind of “ spider web ” about the relevant information of the main topic .
Application
First , I should focus on the main topic to solve , identifying opportunities and making plans to approach it ( in this case , mind mapping ) . With that taken in count , I should start getting the what is information ( data about the topic , the way I must expose it , tools I can use , etc . ) . In the previous example ( in which the main topic was the world´s economic situation ) , all the economic info had to be taken from official webpages . Then , using the mind mapping technique , the next thing to do is categorize the steps to follow , taking in count the main areas of study ( in the example mentioned above , already having the data , the steps to follow could be analyze the company ’s , countries , individuals behavior , etc . ) .
After collecting all the information , the next step is solving the what if ? part . With the mind mapping already done , it should be much easier brainstorming about the best way to get the job done . For example , since in the project about the world´s economic situation I had to be creative , maybe the form of making it ( power point , video , etc . ) wasn´t as important as its content . For that , it´s necessary to go ahead with the what wows and what works steps . Here , the main task is to maintain the students and the teacher entertained , so the presentation had to be funny and easy to assimilate ( that´s what everyone wants ) . Also , I´m not an expert in editing , so I had to use a easy - to - use program .
Finally , to ensure the work done actually works , it´s good to make several prototypes and get feedbacks from family and friends .
Insight
Andy Lewis
The use of this technique will be , in further opportunities , useful to identify all the areas to explore , as it will change the way I approach the issue , making it in a more efficient , complete and tidy mode .
Approach
Of course , this course helped me get an example of how to structure in the best way possible my ideas with this technique , so , if something in my structure fails , I should try to fix what´s missing about the previous mind map made to improve it ( because I´m sure there will not be any need of using any other tool ) . However , it may be a good idea to complement it with the other tools ( visualization , storytelling or learning launch ) to improve the mind map I´ve already done ( without substituting it ) .

Challenge :
COVID 19 pandemic has forced us to bring some substantial changes in our life and one such change is in the way we teach and learn in schools . Normal classes were suspended in most of the educational institutes across India from March 2020 . Since we started the new academic session in April 2020 , classes are held on online platforms due to lockdown and social distancing norms . As everyone was caught unawares by this pandemic , no school was prepared with an e - learning pedagogy . The result is , everyone is in the race to transform and convert a conventional pedagogy designed for an on - campus physical classroom to the virtual mode using various online platforms . This poses a major challenge in imparting effective learning keeping in mind the holistic development of the child . This is also aggravated by the digital divide that exists in our society .
As an educator , in addition to teaching my subject , I have to keep in mind the co - scholastic and other learning outcomes which are imparted to the students through co- curricular and extra- curricular activities in the campus in pre - COVID 19 era . Both scholastic as well as co - scholastic development of a learner in online mode of teaching and learning process requires not only a pedagogy suitable for the e - learning ecosystem , but also a paradigm shift in our approach to learn virtually . This would take time for all the stakeholders . Students and teachers alike are making an earnest effort and it is pertinent at this point of time not to ignore the holistic development of the child . Time will only unfold whether our efforts have been well directed towards overcoming these hurdles to the desired extent . Could Learning Launch be the panacea ? Let us find out .
Selection :
Being a student friendly tool learning launch initiates the learner to 3 L ’s i.e. look , listen and learn and thus creating ‘ awareness ’ - awareness in every aspect , whether it is an awareness of a problem ( social , political , environmental , et al ) , sense of empathy , sense of wonderment , sense of values etc . Awareness sparks curiosity and a curious learner starts questioning . Once the learner starts asking lots of questions it reflects that the leaner is undergoing the process of understanding the problem through research and experimentation / trial and error . The process of understanding may involve reading articles , watching videos , interviewing , surveying or analyzing data . This leads in acquiring new knowledge and applying this newly acquired knowledge to find solutions of the problem . In the process of finding potential solutions , the learners not only share ideas , but brainstorm by analyzing and combining ideas to generate a concept . Thus an artefact emerges , which provides the basic framework for a prototype .
At this stage the learner is excited to experiment with their creation ( prototype ) and take a note of things / points that work out well or otherwise . If there is something that needs attention the learners revise the steps of experimentation again and again , making it error free and thus leading closer to success . When it is done , it is ready to launch . In this phase , the learner / s are ready to share their work with others .
Application :
In order to facilitate the scholastic as well as non - scholastic learning outcomes in this new and virtual ecosystem , I first re - established my teaching goals and also clearly defined what my learners will achieve during the course . Keeping these goals in mind the entire module was divided into smaller topics with subtopics . Empathy is required while deciding on the elements of the pedagogy to be delivered . Hence my endeavour was to take into consideration the learning needs of the students . Apart from the subject knowledge , students need to acquire skills to collaborate and work in teams , take initiative for self - learning and peer learning , develop interpersonal communication skills , presentation skills , and familiarity with digital platforms . So keeping myself in place of the learners and taking into consideration the flow of the course content , I tried to embed the design thinking tool of learning launch in my online teaching and learning sessions .
As e - learning coach Connie Malamad says , “ One of the most important areas we can develop as professionals is competence in accessing and sharing knowledge . ” Inspired by the quote , “ The key to a successful learning environment is structure ” , I decided to develop a structure in my virtual classrooms and thus Peer Assisted Learning groups ( PAL groups ) were created with the following objectives and modus operandi .
Objectives :
1 . Facilitating peer learning through active knowledge creation and continuous feedback .
2 . Developing social learning skills through interpersonal approach which includes empathy , self - awareness and self - regulation .
3 . Enhancing online learning competences and team - work .
Modus operandi :
1 . Each PAL group will consist of not more than 8 students .
2 . Each PAL group will have a Peer Co - ordinator ( PC ) on rotation basis for a tenure of approximately 4 weeks duration .
3 . The role of the PC will be to co - ordinate PAL activities as below :
- facilitate smooth functioning of the group and monitor the learning outcomes
by resolving doubts / problems related to mathematics , through interacting amongst the group members and/or , organizing online group study sessions .
- motivate and encourage group members to frequently interact with the group
members to clarify their doubts in order to complete various activities , tasks , assignments , projects assigned by the teacher .
- be the point of contact for the teacher to assess group members ’ learning and
overall understanding of the subject .
- bridge the learning gaps of the group , by clarifying with the teacher ( during the
online classes ) , any doubts on the topics that have already been discussed .
Insight :
The idea of creating PAL groups is equally exciting and challenging . The main challenge lies in forming groups keeping in mind the learners ’ diverse aptitude , attitude and skills . It is observed that though the learners have acquired the new IT skills but initially few students interacted during the teaching – learning process . Most of the students were passive learners . Gradually students became aware of their problems , and became curious to learn , started interacting share their knowledge , gave regular feedback . It came as a pleasant surprise to find that some of the learners who mostly remained passive during the on - campus classes , started to actively participate in these online classes . Giving feedback is a skill . Frequent and effective feedback is an integral component for effective learning . It increases productivity and team harmony and it became evident among the members of the PAL Groups . The learners developed empathy , collaborative approach , mentoring and leadership skills . With collective intelligence , improved communication skill , good understanding and team spirit the learners of PAL groups distributed the content among the groups . Each PAL Group designed their learning modules made presentations , created videos , questionnaires , quizzes , etc . and presented it in their own class . The modules designed and created by various PAL groups of different classes were uploaded in school ERP for wider viewing . In this process the learners ( PAL groups ) received constructive feedback and they again worked on the presentations , thus bringing in lots of improvement in the final product . My observation is that , the framework has triggered the enthusiasm and to a certain extent shifting the balance of learning to the learners .
Approach :
I intend to incorporate the following as we go ahead with the academic session .
i. Role clarity for each member of the PAL group . This could be done by designing the activities for the group in a manner that every member becomes responsible and accountable for developing a collaborative learning artifact .
ii . Create a peer evaluated feedback mechanism that facilitates learning through collective intelligence through inputs and feedback coming in from the entire class .
iii . Establish a rubric to capture initiative , coordination , inter - personal communication and subject knowledge .

The client has empanelled partners to assist them in this process . The project was scheduled for 30 days . Our team , comprising of 4 members , were tasked to improve the efficiency of the assessment process by developing a prototype of an alerting system that would help in real time status tracking of applications to track the status of their partners work and also reduce time delays in the overall process of accreditation . My design team had prior experience in working on process improvement projects , henceforth , the task of gathering information / requirements from the client became quicker . Selection Our design team was known for its agility and came up with a quick design prototype of the tracking system using software tools . Now it was time for the team to use learning launch tool to test the developed prototype of the alerting system . This learning launch tool will help in validating the assumptions made during the development of the prototype . Learning launch tool assists in figuring out what customer needs are in a quick way . Most learning launches involves reaching out to the customers to gather their feedback . My team was well aware of the use of learning launch tool which is an experiment meant to quickly test an idea and prototype them . The Alerting System prototype had to be tested with the clients sooner to get their feedback . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2D2mFcZzeW https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnVUhYZvCFr Application During the learning launch phase 1 , our design team followed agile methods to develop a prototype of the alerting system . Agile methods are popular for small incremental work . The agile method that my team followed included phases such as scoping , diagrams for initial sprint , development and testing . During the learning launch phase 2 , the developed alerting system was released in production . A set of Information and Communication Technology ( ICT ) experts on the client team were asked to use the newly deployed alerting system to track their applications in real time . Our design team sent out a questionnaire to this ICT team and tasked the experts to fill it up . ICT team was given a day to fill out their feedback on the alerting system . This questionnaire focused on the usage of the alerting system and any other features that needed to be incorporated . The project was completed within 28 days as per the scope set in the initial discussion .
Insight Using learning launch tool really helped our design team as the assumptions that were made during the requirements gathering phase were validated . There were couple of changes that were suggested by the ICT team from the Client side and those were documented in their feedback . The challenge that team faced was that , if the changes needed to be incorporated in the newly developed alerting system , then the scope of the project would expand and also the time line would get extended . So , the design team decided to hold a project extension meeting with the client and presented a Phase 2 project proposal . This proposal is still under approval status . Approach Learning Launch proved to be a very effective tool in order to know whether the assumptions of our design team were accurate . At times , the design team had missed few requirements that were identified and incorporated as the team followed agile iterative process . Combining the usage of learning launch tool and agile methodology made our team successful in keeping up with the project timelines that eventually made our client happy .

The
company
I
work
for
is
one
of
the
largest
worldwide
assessment
providers .
Since
about
20
years
the
organisation
has
an
office
in
my
country ,
The
Netherlands ,
and
we
work
with
a
small
team
of
about
10
people .
Every
now
and
then
we
produce
a
newsletter ,
containing
recent
business
related
articles ,
news
or
changes
worth
mentioning
and
our
agenda .
The
opening
rates
are
fairly
low .
The
newsletter
is
not
our
only
way
of
communicating
to
our
clients
about
our
product
range
and
recent
developments .
We
also
organize
meetings ,
write
blogs ,
whitepapers
and
of
course
our
consultants
visit
them
regularly .
The
2014
challenge
is
how
we
can
produce
an
information
source
that
has
optimum
value
for
our
clients .
We
have
full
insight
in
What
is ,
seen
from
our
clients ’
perspective .
A
few
months
ago
we
have
run
an
online
survey
and
got
lots
of
information
through
this .
Instead
of
purely
analysing
this
information ,
I
would
like
to
dig
deeper
by
talking
to
a
small
selection
of
clients .
So
I
interviewed
12
clients
about
how
they
perceive
our
communication .
The
design
criteria
based
on
the
above :
Communication
should
be
contemporary ,
colourful
and
presented
at
set
times .
Selection
We
want
to
be
open
to
all
possibilities ,
not
excluding
any
which
way
of
communicating
to
our
clients .
Sticking
to
the
way
we
operated
so
far ,
will
never
produce
something
new .
Our
company
is
ready
for
a
new
way
of
connecting .
In
my
opinion
the
Visualization
tool
is
very
well
suited
to
produce
out-‐of-‐the-‐box
ideas ,
because
it
appeals
to
imagination
and
supports
invention .
It
will
help
to
create
a
picture
of
an
ideal ,
without
racing
towards
a
result .
It
brings
a
creative
pause
full
of
limitless
thinking
into
the
process .
Application
12
clients
will
be
invited
to
a
1-‐hour
visualization
session .
The
starting

For
some
people
this
way
of
‘ working ’
is
new .
Before
starting
we
have
to
remove
barriers .
That
is ,
unfortunately ,
a

Not
all

people
are
used
to
this
fairly
new
and
creative
approach .
Still
we
got
some
wonderful
insights .
Our
clients
seem
to
be
fed
up
with
newsletter-‐ spamming .
They
want
something
totally
different ,
something
more
appealing .
They
are
definitely
ready
to
see / hear
something
new .
Approach
Although
for
some
clients
this
was n’t
the
most
comfortable
way
to

us ,
the
outcome
is
very
satisfying
for
our

Now
we
know
we
have
to
aim
for
more
original

of

can
let

### Input: Challenge
The
company
I
work
for
is
one
of
the
largest
worldwide
assessment
providers .
Since
about
20
years
the
organisation
has
an
office
in
my
country ,
The
Netherlands ,
and
we
work
with
a
small
team
of
about
10
people .
Every
now
and
then
we
produce
a
newsletter ,
containing
recent
business
related
articles ,
news
or
changes
worth
mentioning
and
our
agenda .
The
opening
rates
are
fairly
low .
The
newsletter
is
not
our
only
way
of
communicating
to
our
clients
about
our
product
range
and
recent
developments .
We
also
organize
meetings ,
write
blogs ,
whitepapers
and
of
course
our
consultants
visit
them
regularly .
The
2014
challenge
is
how
we
can
produce
an
information
source
that
has
optimum
value
for
our
clients .
We
have
full
insight
in
What
is ,
seen
from
our
clients ’
perspective .
A
few
months
ago
we
have
run
an
online
survey
and
got
lots
of
information
through
this .
Instead
of
purely
analysing
this
information ,
I
would
like
to
dig
deeper
by
talking
to
a
small
selection
of
clients .
So
I
interviewed
12
clients
about
how
they
perceive
our
communication .
The
design
criteria
based
on
the
above :
Communication
should
be
contemporary ,
colourful
and
presented
at
set
times .
Selection
We
want
to
be
open
to
all
possibilities ,
not
excluding
any
which
way
of
communicating
to
our
clients .
Sticking
to
the
way
we
operated
so
far ,
will
never
produce
something
new .
Our
company
is
ready
for
a
new
way
of
connecting .
In
my
opinion
the
Visualization
tool
is
very
well
suited
to
produce
out-‐of-‐the-‐box
ideas ,
because
it
appeals
to
imagination
and
supports
invention .
It
will
help
to
create
a
picture
of
an
ideal ,
without
racing
towards
a
result .
It
brings
a
creative
pause
full
of
limitless
thinking
into
the
process .
Application
12
clients
will
be
invited
to
a
1-‐hour
visualization
session .
The
starting
point
will
be
the
design
criteria
mentioned
above .
Furthermore
there
are
no
limits .
Anything
is

Challenge & Selection I have worked in shared services for most of my professional career within the same organization . Regardless of what objectives management come up with it always come down to how can we bring the cost of a transaction down .
Our shared service organization covers close to 2000 team players spread across 4 regional service - centers as well a multitude of in - country teams covering several areas such as payroll Our objective was to reduce payroll processing costs by several million dollars over 5 years .
The challenge is linked to the selection of a single payroll provider to cover close to 50000 active and retired personnel in 30 countries . Building the request for proposal taking into account the legal , branch and local payroll needs required the use of a tool to collectively gather and prioritize needs as well as to reduce the time it took to collect requirements .
Application Logistically is was not practical to get to 30 different countries within a few weeks while we created our RFP . The provider was going to be tasked with each countries legal compliance but we needed to ensure any local , branch rules , specificities , etc … were collected . The objective was not to create the blueprints rather ensure we put into the RFP everything we would need so the providers could cost the implementation and running costs upfront and avoid a complex and costly change control process as much as possible .
At the beginning , European workshops were carried out in - person starting with the good old fashioned white board and post - it notes . Once the workshop was done we would collate the information in a mind - mapping package and have the teams review . Following workshops started with a review of the previous workshops mind - map . After a couple of workshops we were getting more and more efficient because countries were expressing similar requirements or by seeing what was already on the map provided their prioritization of the requirement . At that point we moved to only using online tools for mind mapping and realtime collaboration tools and carried out virtually all remaining workshops and pre - workshop work using the different software packages but keeping a single mind - map which served as the basis for writing our RFP ..
We created our RFP in record time and implemented the system over 18 months .
Insight & Approach Activities such as collecting requirements and not just important to ensure a good costing exercise but are also one of the building blocks in the project ’s change management strategy . If we had needed to go to each country it would have both cost a fortune and taken several more months to get to a similar level of requirement description . By starting out face to face we were able to onboard local payroll teams into the project but as the exercise continued what we managed to create was an internal network of payroll practitioners across the countries working together towards a single goal .
Using mind - mapping software allowed us to define common terminology which in turn led us to review processes and reduce complexity once it came to implementing the new solution brining about the expected savings .
Next time I have the need for such a tool I would probably • not keep a single map rather split it up in some way . By the end of the payroll exercise
navigating the map was too cumbersome
• Define some kind of reference system to reference the different mind map nodes and entries
in the RFP document .

Challenge & Selection
My company is an industrial services provider in the oil and gas and energy sector . Providing solutions that resonate with the customer needs is in the core of our business and to do so we always visit our customers when we get a business inquiry from them to hear about their specific needs , the problem they are facing and based on this feedback , we can decide which of our services is most suitable to satisfy his needs . All throughout our project cycle , we work closely with the customer so we get live feedback on our performance while providing stories of our successes with previous customers to ensure the customer of our ability to fulfil his business needs and to build positive relations with him which connects to future opportunities .
Application
We had a business inquiry from a client who owns a petrochemical plant and had a scheduled shut down for a critical part of the plant for maintenance activities . After visiting the part of the plant that was to be shut down to better understand the scope , we sat down with the client for a meeting to get more details about the difficulties they are facing to see how best we can support them .
The client was a little hesitant about hiring us so we shared a recent success story in a sister company of theirs . We explained the scope our job and how we maintained constant contact with that client which made us execute the job to the client ’s satisfaction . We also shared data about our equipment and invited them to visit our company to inspect our readiness .
Insight & Approach
The client really appreciated our dedication to his cause and how relatable the story was to him . Our transparency also helped tip the scales in our favor . Throughout the project we made sure we were communicating with the client on a daily basis to tackle setbacks and challenges and their feedback at the end of the project was very positive .
This course made me put storytelling into perspective . It made me think back on those times our communication with the customer was rushed and not thorough and as a result our job performance was poor because we were not clear on the customer ’s needs .

Challenge : I work as a Supply Chain Specialist in an E - commerce firm . Our company is focused in the public sector . One of your biggest challenges we feel is to keep a project moving forward and keep innovating new methods to achieve our goals . In India , there is the public opinion that the public sector is lazy , overpaid , and gets nothing done . A hindrance is often a small group or a single individual who is blocking innovation in the whole organisation . The ulterior motive why this person is blocking the innovation can be many . But they have almost always one thing in common , they do n’t benefit directly from the project and do n’t seem to understand the improvements this project will bring . Selection & Application : I am using storytelling right at the beginning of this project , to create a productive environment . I start by asking questions about previous projects , bad and good ones . This way I can identify , who might be sceptical about the new development . And also get a feel for what they fear the most . As we learned , a great story always has 3 elements an emotional connection , logic , and a higher course . For me , the higher course is always the benefit for the consumers who will be using the product . The emotional connections are people who will be working on the project and some personal experience to let the receiver in terms of promotions . The Logic part is the hardest to generalize and has to be tailored for each project . Usually , the plot of my story revolves around , how in the future could the customer use a product and what kind of improvements could be possible in the future time . Insight : 5 - 10 mins is more than enough to get everybody on board , or at least to start opening up . I observed that this is very critical as afterward we can have a more productive atmosphere during the discussion . But we have
to be very particular to not promise features that can not be realized , it should not be a science fiction movie , we still have to be realistic . Approach : In the future , I will continue to use storytelling to create a common ground for my all my projects . I also endeavour to continue to improve my storytelling skills by reading more or taking a dedicated course for it . For bigger and more creative projects we should try the Mind - Map technique . As good as the tool already is , we can imagine that they will increase chances of success even better together .

I was tasked with planning a Big Data Summit ( essentially a morning of presentations to customers on the subject of Big Data ) . Not only was I to deliver the keynote I also needed to pull together a range of content to be delivered by my colleagues .
In my current role I present technology solutions to customers . These are often fairly dry and can be difficult to relate too . Early in my career a colleague told me to ‘ always start with a story ’ and this is advice that I have often followed with great success . Technology is not interesting for its own sake , it is interesting for the results that it produces , whether it be improving health outcomes , catching fraud , or enabling more informed decision making . I decided to utilize the skills learnt in the Design Thinking to the development of a keynote presentation for a customer event .
Selection –
For the purpose of this assignment I have taken the Story Telling tool and applied to a presentation for about 90 customers . Not only was I delivering the keynote , which needed to be topical and interesting but I also had responsibility for ensuring that the 5 speakers after me delivered content that flowed and make sense . My area of expertise is Big Data , which can be a complex technical area and there is often a great deal of confusion about what Big Data means and how it applies and how to get started .
Application
In planning my own presentation I focused on using industry and personal stories to relay the topic . Examples I used included Uber who have been very successful at applying data and algorithms to enable dynamic pricing in an industry that has remained untouched for almost a century . I also talked about my recent experience at Future of Transport Conference and the impact that Big Data Analytics and Machine Learning is having in transport .
In terms of the overall flow of the event I used the Story Telling approach to plan the agenda and ensure that all presenters understood the “ journey ’ that we were taking customers on , and what “ their piece of the story ” needed to convey . In hindsight this sounds easy , but it actually took many hours to create a flow / journey that made sense and could act as a guide for all presentations on the day .
Insight
Overall the entire morning was very successful ; I had a great deal of very positive feedback on my presentation and the very ‘ personal ’ approach that I utilised .
Probably the most important takeaway was using the Story Telling approach to plan the entire event . Although it took a great deal of upfront planning it ensured that all of the customers left with a very clear view of the topic but it also gave the presenters a very clear understanding of what was required from them . This is something that I would take forward to future events .
In terms of Design Thinking , I believe that this course has given me a number of tools and approaches that will be useful in my current role . It would be very useful to apply some of these techniques – Visualisation , Journey Mapping , BrainStorming to current problems .
Approach
The technique was great for this particular type of problem and I would definitely use it again . The only difference being that I would involve the entire team in a “ Story Development ” session up front to map out the journey , rather than creating the entire vision by myself .

### Input: Challenge
I was tasked with planning a Big Data Summit ( essentially a morning of presentations to customers on the subject of Big Data ) . Not only was I to deliver the keynote I also needed to pull together a range of content to be delivered by my colleagues .
In my current role I present technology solutions to customers . These are often fairly dry and can be difficult to relate too . Early in my career a colleague told me to ‘ always start with a story ’ and this is advice that I have often followed with great success . Technology is not interesting for its own sake , it is interesting for the results that it produces , whether it be improving health outcomes , catching fraud , or enabling more informed decision making . I decided to utilize the skills learnt in the Design Thinking to the development of a keynote presentation for a customer event .
Selection –
For the purpose of this assignment I have taken the Story Telling tool and applied to a presentation for about 90 customers . Not only was I delivering the keynote , which needed to be topical and interesting but I also had responsibility for ensuring that the 5 speakers after me delivered content that flowed and make sense . My area of expertise is Big Data , which can be a complex technical area and there is often a great deal of confusion about what Big Data means and how it applies and how to get started .
Application
In planning my own presentation I focused on using industry and personal stories to relay the topic . Examples I used included Uber who have been very successful at applying data and algorithms to enable dynamic pricing in an industry that has remained untouched for almost a century . I also talked about my recent experience at Future of Transport Conference and the impact that Big Data Analytics and Machine Learning is having in transport .
In terms of the overall flow of the event I used the Story Telling approach to plan the agenda and ensure that all presenters understood the “ journey ’ that we were taking customers on , and what “ their piece of the story ” needed to convey .

Challenge
My client is an international trading company that sells warehouse equipment , in the B2B market ,
that operates across 3 regions markets and has a supply chain consisting of the central warehouse
and secondary regional warehouses . My challenge was to develop a strategy to increase sales , using
the potential of big data and advanced analytics .
Selection
To develop a strategy , I used a mindmap , because it allowed me to work out solutions in different
directions / areas and on a different scale . I also used the MECE pricnice to make sure there are no
missing spots and/or overlaps .
Application
I started working in several directions , eg , you can increase sales by increasing the number of clients
or the number of sales per client , then the number of sales per client - by increasing the number of
items in the invoice or increasing the number of lines in the invoice ( cross sales ) . Further , for each
option , I developed a solution , eg , for the last option I offered a recommendation sales system for a
commercial retail site .
Insight
After developing the map , I realized that some of mine solutions may solve several problems
simultaneously and may work cross - functional . This allowed me to identify the most effective
solutions and assigned them higher priority , all of which was a base for the strategic road map .
What did I learn here - before the course , I used a decision tree structure and it was difficult for me
to perceive it visually . If a solution is structured like a mind map , I can work faster and more
efficiently . In addition , it allowed me to collect information in 2 categories - primary and secondary .
Approach
I designed the mind map using drawings app in Google Docs , that took a huge amount of time . Next
time I would use a specialized software or applications , for example , Google diagrams.net , that
makes it faster and easier to design , as well it has pre - developed notations .

Challenge
I was a manager working in a consulting firm within the accounting advisory department . Mostly because the digital transformation , the senior partners requested for all manager to hold a meeting to discuss market needs and new products to be develop and to present a proposition in the following days . It required a lot of knowledge about the clients and prospects needs ( previously obtained in multiple projects and discussions ) . The main challenge was to present all the information and different ideas provided by each manager ( 8 people ) in a concise and clear way and demonstrate the link between our client needs and proposed products / services .
Selection
The tool selected for this exercise was the mind mapping . We used Miro ( miro.com ) as the platform to create the mind map because it enables multiple users to co - create simultaneously . We aimed to identify patterns in the information ( a lot ! ) brought regarding our clients and prospects needs . The tool was helpful because you can clearly visualize a huge amount of data ( client ’s needs ) and was possible to conclude what products should be developed .
Application We included in the mind map our prospects and client tasks and challenges and brainstormed what would be the products more suitable , considering our expertise and tools . We started with our client current needs and them we projected what would be their needs after a digital transformation . We listed all regulations that they must comply and what will their key stakeholders require today and in the following years . After we completed our client ( almost a persona ) obligation , we started to design products that would reduce or address their challenges . We aimed to identify products and services that are recurring and scalable . After mapping all products , we assigned each product for a manager . Ultimately , we had a full picture what we think that our client will need and a list of specific products to be offered .
Insight
Using the tool in the context of our challenge that was presenting a proposition to the senior partners of new products was extremely helpful . They were pleased that we also included a kind of persona of our clients , which was not our initial goal . We also realized that we could have engaged some of our clients in this discussion . This would probably result in more reliable information regarding theirs needs ( less biased ) .
Approach
The use of a mind mapping tool is strongly recommended when you need to formalize different thoughts of multiply users to make connections . I used the same strategy in other situations and every time the result is the same : everyone is extremely satisfied of how easy is to put different thoughts in a piece of paper and to identify patterns and insights that have always been there , but we never realized it . This is the main value added by this tool .

Challenge
I work in my organization ’s automobile insurance department where we handle thousands of claims on a daily basis . We have a specific time frame during which we need to arrive at a decision on the claims and send it back to our clients . Our workload has increased significantly over the past few weeks and we anticipate this to continue till the end of this year . We have been tasked with finding ways to tackle the incoming claims with record speed so that our clients do not lose faith in us and we continue to deliver back our responses during the set time period .
Selection
Our management had informed us that recruiting new personnel or hiring from other departments was not an option . So , we had to come up with solutions using our existing team members which was approximately 20- 25 in number . We decided to use the Visualization method in order to come up with a solution to tackle this challenge in front of us . We described our workflow processes in detail by using flowcharts , right from when we received the claims till they were dispatched back from our unit . The job profile of each of our team members were clearly labelled out next to the workflows with added points of who was best suited to fit into each role .
Application
We divided our team members into morning , mid shift as well as night shifts so that those who preferred to work faster in the early mornings could arrive and start with the workflow . This would continue across the shifts so that at any point in time during the entire day our resources would be in motion . Seeing our names and job description next to the work processes or stages helped us to get a clear idea of what was expected from us . Our roles were made more concise and we could focus on what was at hand rather than worrying about the bigger picture . We worked steadily through each of the shifts and soon we began to pick up pace sorting through all the material .
Insight
What inspired us to use visualization model was that it was easier to channel and breakdown daily tasks and assign them to each individual . It was also important to bring together the whole unit as a whole so that they can easily understand their roles at each stage and work accordingly without any delay . Having everyone on board was important to achieve the end result of finishing our claims and delivering our reply to the clients at the determined time frame . We had to make sure that customers were satisfied with our efforts and team members were appreciated for their efforts .
Approach
As an alternative approach , we can use the same model , that is , visualization , to change the assigned duties on a monthly or biweekly basis so that each member gets to work under different circumstances and deals with different set of clients or customers . This way , it would broaden the scope of learning and working at the same time delivering quality results to our customers .

### Input: ASSIGNMENT - VISUALIZATION
Challenge
I work in my organization ’s automobile insurance department where we handle thousands of claims on a daily basis . We have a specific time frame during which we need to arrive at a decision on the claims and send it back to our clients . Our workload has increased significantly over the past few weeks and we anticipate this to continue till the end of this year . We have been tasked with finding ways to tackle the incoming claims with record speed so that our clients do not lose faith in us and we continue to deliver back our responses during the set time period .
Selection
Our management had informed us that recruiting new personnel or hiring from other departments was not an option . So , we had to come up with solutions using our existing team members which was approximately 20- 25 in number . We decided to use the Visualization method in order to come up with a solution to tackle this challenge in front of us . We described our workflow processes in detail by using flowcharts , right from when we received the claims till they were dispatched back from our unit . The job profile of each of our team members were clearly labelled out next to the workflows with added points of who was best suited to fit into each role .

Challenge & Selection
In my current position as a project manager at a semi - government entity , I lead several projects aiming to increase the energy efficiency of the transportation sector in my country . One of the opportunities is to reduce the fuel consumption of heavy - duty vehicles by using aerodynamic devices which has not been regulated in the country yet . These devices have low demand due to the lack of a verification system to demonstrates their benefits .
My team and I were responsible of developing and designing a system to verify the effectiveness of aerodynamic devices on reducing fuel consumption for heavy - duty vehicles . Our main stakeholder is the end - user which are aerodynamic device manufacturers . And one of the main challenges we faced is the eligibility of the devices manufactured globally for the local market . And some manufacturers are not familiar with the local safety requirements . Therefore , there was a need to raise the awareness of the manufacturers about these requirements .
After applying the design thinking and creativity process , we end up with an idea of presenting the device requirements in an audio - visual way instead of wordy description while filling the application . So , the user will learn about the requirements in a less boring way before applying for verification . We used a number of design thinking and creativity tools to come up with ideas and used learning launch to test them using prototypes that are quickly built and cheap to test our assumptions and resolve uncertainties .
Application
We had a several uncertainties and assumptions which the learning launch are designed to answer . Such as what are the duration of the video that balances informative content but prevent it from being boring , and how effective will it be in delivering the information .
Before producing the video , we developed storyboards which are sketched pictures containing the device requirements and it describes the idea behind each scene . This was to determine the optimum duration of the videos that fulfil its purpose and make sure it ’s not boring .
The storyboards were presented to experts in the awareness field in my organization , after that it was presented to some device manufacturers and asked the following questions :
o “ What is this about ? ”
o “ Who is this for ? Who are the target audience ? ”
o “ Do you need to watch it again ? ”
o “ If it transformed to a video , what do you think the suitable duration of it ? ”
o “ Do you think it will be fun to watch ? ”
o “ What are the requirements mentioned in the video ? ”
o “ How could it be improved ? ”
Insight & Approach
The most valuable feedback we received was : Why only one video describing all the requirements of all device types ? Why not a separate video for each device type depends on the application ? This will shorten the video duration for the applicant and make it more focused . As the feedback suggested , the Solution was modified and the decision were made to produce multiple videos for each device type , and it will be played once the applicant inputs the device type in the application .
Learning Launch is very useful tool which help in refining the ideas and ensure that ideas can be eliminated early to avoid costly wrong decisions . Engaging the stakeholders and receiving their feedbacks helps reaching the best possible solution .

Challenges and selection
What does happen when asking consumers about using a product ? They usually start to tell about their experience in the form of a story . They describe the events they went through and the lessons that they faced at each stage . As a designer , I used to find this method an interesting one to learn about the consumer experience and then reflect it into an outcome solution of the design process . There is nothing better than hearing about the product from the mouth of the consumers or see then use in real life . During the design process , storytelling is used to understand the underlying problems that consumers face when using a product or a service , and then use this knowledge in reflective practice to formulate the solution which is tested by the consumers . Hence , storytelling contributes to the different stages in the design process for different purposes in each step .
Application
I have read somewhere about the application of storytelling in education system . The high school history class was still , for the most part . Pencils scratched here and there against the paper as some of the student ’s half -heartedly copied notes from the board . At the front of the classroom , the teacher droned on , periodically pausing to add information to the growing list of facts we would be responsible for knowing . Were there slides or any type of visual aid ?
Honestly , I do n’t remember . I was one of the pencil scratchers with one key difference : I was intensely focused on reaching my goal of becoming ambidextrous . It was the perfect class in which to practice this skill — since I ’d read the assigned chapter of interest the night before , I was already familiar with the material . And as the teacher was n’t presenting anything that was n’t in the reading , the notes were simply a review .
As I said , it was the perfect time to practice writing with my left hand — perhaps not the best use of my time , but who could blame me ? I was bored out of my mind .
Now , the sad part is that I actually love history ( and I even loved it while I was in that class ) . I love the stories and the characters that show up throughout time . I enjoy reading and learning from biographies , autobiographies , and historical fiction novels . But I did not enjoy that history class .
On the other hand , I do not enjoy grammar . Yet there was one particularly memorable class in middle school in which grammar suddenly became more interesting . Yes , we were learning about the parts of speech was boring . But the teacher , who was also our drama instructor , had us do something creative with each part of speech . After presenting the material , Mrs. Taboo would
divide us into groups with the assignment of writing and presenting some kind of story that included a certain number of nouns , adjectives , etc . In short order , the class covering this odious subject became much more fun because it introduced an element of creativity . Two classes . Two subjects . One subject I liked , but I did not like the class ; the other subject I did not like , but I liked the class . The difference was Storytelling .
Insight and Approach
From the above mentioned I have learned a lot . Aside from being a great way to grab the attention of your students and engage them in the lesson , stories also :
Give students a way to understand their world . Even fantasy stories , which on the surface appear to have nothing to do with reality , are able to present truths that apply to students ’ lives .
Better enable students to remember facts . Stories connect the emotional with the logical . This utilization of multiple areas of the brain strengthens the ability to recall the facts embedded within a story .
Have the ability to calm and focus the minds of our students . And in this state , a student ’s mind is much more receptive to new information .

CHALLENGE
From my childhood and even lately , everyday whenever I wo nt to study mathematics , history , chemistry , biology , physics or any other subject or a bit of text I had an excellent difficulty in recollecting the relations of the most one with the specified things and contacts , for instance in chemistry in the organic part there 's tons stuff to remembering just like the properties of the element , general reactions , complex reactions and physical and chemical properties , so what have I done is took the most element as the common one and had written down all the reactions , properties and related data regarding it and put certain colour code for a group to form it look attractive , grouped them very neatly for better grasping .
SELECTION
I introduced mind mapping technique to my fellow mates and that they started utilizing it to make mind mapping tree for even alittle piece of data to an outsized data where they will classify the knowledge and make it more understandable to them and therefore the most I recall in history to recollect events within the same year we utilized this mapping to show the events therein specific year .
APPLICATION
Application of this mind mapping technique features a wide selection from alittle kid 's collecting data to , an enormous company debating it 's new product 's demands and for all the cops to stay a track for the criminals , vulnerabilities then on . We utilized it for main causes like solving a difficult story puzzle , recalling my relations , recalling properties of elements , it can perform more but i did n't have a way scope to utilize it .
INSIGHT
On putting in the mind mapping tool , it 's becomes very easy for our group , to finish the given task , not only easily , but even a fast thanks to acknowledge deep enough to execute the task given to finish and doing in a proper manner and accomplish the task before the schedule and succeeding it and helped in manipulate other problems regarding the task .
APPROACH
My friends tried other ways to represent the infomation but the opposite methods were n't that logical as this is often , it helped me and my friends to unravel a problem easily and represented the data collected when attended workshops and describing to people , this is often the simplest method .

CHALLENGE & SELECTION
One of the most important tool and the relevant tool I learnt is the visualization tool ( i.e. the visual thinking ) to manage my stakeholders to understand the extend and depth of the pain points we are trying to eliminate in our project . The use of diagrams like SIPOC diagram , ishikawa diagram and other sketches to display customers pain points during the onboarding process which was manually done before we started the project .
Visualization is really important for the process of design thinking because its actually a way of unblocking a different part of our brain . It allows us to think in a non – verbal way and access parts of the brain , our creativity . Most design thinkers call visualization as “ mother of all design tools ” , because they are used in every stage of the design thinking process . Visualization is equal part listening , thinking and drawing . Listening is the input , thinking is the processing and drawing is the output . These three skills work together equally in understanding complexity , visualization outcomes to create new possibilities
APPLICATION
I start the process by creating a spaghetti mapping of our customer onboarding process via in - branch and also linked all the pain point using the ishikawa diagram and a pictorial description of the stress level of different categories of the customer during the onboarding process . The previous process was fraught with high turn around time , decreased customer satisfaction .
The team was grouped into different group to visualize the different customer segmentation and come up with ways of increasing the customer satisfaction rate whilst increasing revenue and customer acquisition . They use of the visualization tool helped to answer they 5 why s questions used in the agile methodology and the outcome was the build and use of an online onboarding process and also the removal of pain points which are not relevant steps and the reduction of the 14 - steps process flow to 6 - steps processes . This input really impacted positively in the organization leading to increase in customer acquisition of about 30 %
BAD
INSIGHT AND APPROACH
What I learnt from using this tool as a solution package to resolve customers complaint issues around the onboarding process – is that visualization takes us beyond just words or language alone . The beauty of using visualization is that we can ta into a single picture . The more you begin to use picture , the more you begin to diagram while you talk and create a visual image for people of how you are thinking . The team was able to easily connect to the diagrams and visual displays and easily wore the shoe of both the customer and an innovative thinker to help resolve and optimize the onboarding process .

Challenge
As Payment system project manager , I manage on our organization many innovative projects using AGILE Frameworks that involves using several design thinking activities / tools with all stakeholders as Business team , Development team , testing team , so in other to explain the customers ’ needs efficiently , we need to visualize so that the whole team have the same comprehension ,
Our team is working on a Mobile payment project using methods of Scrum framework , one of customer needs ( Our customer is a bank ) is to edit a contract for the Mobile payment holders that should be printed and signed when opening their Mobile Wallet account at the agency .
Selection
Our scrum team has decided to use visualization as design thinking activities because we can tap into a single picture and by the more we begin using pictures , the more that we begin to diagram while we talk , and create a visual image for all the team . Application
As member of scrum team ( scrum master ) , first I started by drawing on a whiteboard , the contract canvas using existing contract model that we used for others Payment Products as reference .
After that the team start discussion about the information the we need to populate the contract , so each member team started drawing on the whiteboard that it seems important to him ( Mobile wallet holder First Name , Mobile wallet holder last Name , Mobile wallet holder birthdate , Mobile wallet account type , Mobile wallet account number , … ) , after that I start regrouping those information onto contract canvas by creating complex model of how the scrum team think the customer experience ideally is going to work by focusing on those main information .
Then , I started asking 3 questions to the scrum team and invite them to use sticky note to respond , the first question
1 . What key elements are missing from the canvas ?
the second question
2 . What would we change about the canvas to make it simple with the involvement of all the
legal article ?
the third question
3 . On which moment on the process , the contract should be printed ?
I give them 10 minutes to discuss the three questions
The team report their answers to those three questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their sticky note . I record commonalities in the insights of each team member , and then additional insights that come from the discussion on the white board . After this session , the product owner as team member creates a view that combines the shared and new insights from the discussion , and then create a
revised canvas that incorporates their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a scrum team .
Insight
By using Visualization , our scrum team had the ability to create good user story that involved the insight of all scrum team ( product owner , scrum master , and development team ) with detailed acceptance criteria , while responding of 3C concept used in AGILE approaches to create user story that should be developed and be de part of sprint backlog .
Approach
Next time , I would use the mind mapping activity as a starting point for a series of design thinking activities to launch the testing activity of that user story by looking for patterns and insights in a large quantity of data collected during the step above , which can serve as a reference tool throughout the remainder of our work .

Visualization or visual thinking tool , I use with my clients – C - level executives in almost in all of the situation . Visualization helps me to understand AS IS and TO BE conditions of an organization after the Agile transformation . As an Agile Transformation Coach , I interact C - level executives of organizations who wish to explore the Agile transformation of their respective organization . Visualization helps all stakeholders to reach a common understanding .
Application
To start with I simply ask few questions like what is the motive of proposed transformation on a white board and encourage everyone to express it on it . This exercise starts with a lot of notion but continual visual discussion leads to two to three agreed upon objective . Once very one agrees on common objectives , a combination of process flow diagram with the rich usage of roles , the current state of organization is drawn . This exercise again leads to a lot of different pictures but with continuous effort an agreed upon picture emerges . Now it is the time of the third exercise . Let ’s draw a TO BE picture . It is time for final visualization . I coach participants to devise a path to reach TO BE state from AS IS . Initially , this visualization is pretty vague but with little effort , the team able to visualize the first part of Agile transformation journey . As the team starts the journey of transformation , the subsequent parts of visualization become clear .
Insight & Approach
Application of visualization makes my work simple – in terms of conveying the consistent message across the organization . As more audience becomes part of the Agile transformation , it becomes simpler to incorporate feedback and corrective actions in the process .
Visualization helps to develop a shared insight and incorporation across the organization . It also encourages engagement across the organization irrespective of position in the organizational hierarchy .

Challenge , selection and why
Storytelling and stories is what I use most of my time at work at the University . I work with young people who want to specialize in leadership , so that they can impact both the university community and in the near future , in society and in public service . Some of these young people need encouragement , a word of encouragement and a guide , with the narration a much more winning mentality can be transferred , arm them with a repertoire and the importance of empathy with the environment . I spend a lot of time telling stories , especially those that help motivation , as long as they open their minds that a better future is possible . These young people , for the most part , are very far from their parents for work reasons , they are very capable university students , but sometimes , very insecure , their history are based on stories of various reflections on the search for the Self .
It is because of the above , that with my students I develop stories where I try to show them that the important thing is in the mind , that they are capable , and I tell them a little about my family beginnings from poverty , with a very vulnerable environment , but where the formation of my parents , but above all , the conviction in my mind of being able to emerge led me to achieve many achievements , as well as failures , but from all of them I was able to draw many lessons , that is , try to empathize and deliver a repertoire to them , that is possible .
Application and experience .
Within the stories and narratives that I can tell , it happened in a paradigm shift of understanding leadership training in my workplace at the University . Before it was a very structured modality , where the class was given by the teacher and the student only listened , so we proposed a change where the student was the protagonist , not only the receiver but also the protagonist of the experience , something that cost too much given the basal structures historical events in classrooms , which is why I used an example from a student from my previous work .
I told the story of a student who was part of an experience as the protagonist of training , where as well as receiving classes and workshops , he later had the opportunity to tell his peers about his learnings and experiences . But why this student ? One day in the leadership training program , this student was very discouraged , as his personality was outgoing and always stood out , but not that day . After class I opted to have a coffee with a pizza with him , and it happened that he was like that due to an accident of the younger brother , my only thing was to listen to his narration , where he finally said that he is helping his sister to return every day to walk .
At the end of his story , I told him that I admired him and that he had great potential , that he did not decline , and I asked him if he wanted to tell his story at the end of the course , after the classes he wanted to do it and it was a success , encouragement to him . Rest to tell their own stories and motivate each other .
Perspective and focus
All the previous story was a great teaching for me , I understood that narratives can impact beyond theory many times , in conversation with this student I also opened up to tell my story , especially about my parents and their fight against poverty , which was tremendous for both of us . The mindset , repertoire and empathy in a narrative and story is powerful , and I understood that leadership can go hand in hand with it and be another tool . Finally , I shared this methodology and training ideas in my current job , and we have been able to undertake an
unprecedented adventure , involving the entire community with their stories and even alumni . That is why stories and narratives manage to empathize and generate great changes .
This course is wonderful , it helps open your mind and better understand empathy and innovation mainly , and how you can design and create ideas from humility , listen actively and always be focused on the main question , seek high solutions , solve the essentials and eliminate barriers so that others can contribute , and thus learn and innovate

Challenge / Selection
Visual thinking is one of the significant tools that fit my scenario as I was working with
stakeholders from the marketing , customer service , management , and human resource
department . Visualization was chosen because it communicates concepts and allows timely
analysis of the various elements in the presentation . Closely related parameters in the technical
presentation will get identified , eliminating conflicts that arise due to misunderstandings . I use
this approach when new technological innovations such as cloud computing are a new trend .
Still , the business stakeholders do not understand the role of the technology in achieving the
goals set . I decided to apply a pie chart in the visualization to generate discussions on each
stakeholder 's ratio in the implementation process .
Application
I would start the process by drawing an empty pie chart with no partitions to help the
participants understand that the process begins on a clean slate with no element of bias . I will use
the available organizational materials or carry out an informal interview with one participant to
understand how the new technology fits the business . I will then divide the participants into 3 - 4
groups and provide them with the process necessary for cloud migration and ask them to provide
their roles in the process . The final chart will reveal the percentage that each stakeholder has in
the process . One group member will present the last charts from each group , and a final pie chart
created incorporates expert advice .
Insight
I have learned from the activity that the brainstorming sessions involved create a
teamwork spirit and cohesiveness that is difficult to replicate without the visualization technique .
The shared interests and insight throughout the process will establish a collaborative mood that
will implement new technology faster . The visualization technique allows members to check for
accuracy quickly , and it 's simple to implement .
Approach
My approach in the rest of the presentation has changed as I understand the areas in the
technology implementation that the stakeholders hold close or prioritize . The revised final
presentation will represent all the participants ' views ; therefore , any idea generation activities
will be subsequently successful due to the combined feedback it will apply .

Am choosing the mind mapping to share the design thinking and innovations I have done with my team in our unit which provides procurement services to the Extreme Commerce ( Teetly ) at HQ serving 1000 clients with only 8 team members .
Challenge : As I have explained earlier , our unit , Central Procurement Unit or known as CPU , have been aligned as a result of reform / structural change exercise to provide huge procurement services to HQ units supporting nearly 1000 clients and estimated $ 80 million / annually of procurement services with only 8 team members . This is a challenge for two main reasons : 1 . The existing culture and procedures of the organization in providing procurement services and accountability which all rest with the Procurement team and not jointly mapped and managed ; 2 . The high expected demands and procurement volume , large client based which is not exponentially linked with the number of CPU team to carry out those services to the expectations and without risking the organization ’s rules , visibility , and best interest .
Selection : with the two challenges above and due to the time pressure , the team and I decided to step out of office and have a mini - retreat ( half day ) to dive deeper into the design thinking process , looking at how we can use it to generate better ideas and thus select what can we adjust in our approach and reposition CPU to immediately respond to the organization and Clients expectations and as such we have decided that we will work on the following areas that will have a direct impact on our capacity , two way communications with clients , compliance , and delivery . Those areas were directly linked with the two challenges highlighted above and we all agreed that addressing those require us to involve the clients as well and for that we have identified a number of active / proactive clients to help us which we have invited with us to the mini - retreat to jointly share our approach , listened to their existing problems and challenges and what is it that they need to solve and deliver , we then used them as our sounding board and to pitch our ideas , proposals and solutions and finally to pilot and test the later solutions proposed before the final launch .
Application : after intensive brain storming and assessing " what is ? The team and testing client that we invited , we came up with a number of new initiatives and modifications to our business model that covers the majority of the challenges and can be implemented soon and tested to allow us to show immediate solutions and we all agreed that those will help us cover 80 % of the issues and we all agreed that it is almost impossible to achieve 100 % coverage and do everything is such a short period , that is why we have agreed that we can always correct , adjust , and amend the 20 % along the way and as we go . This was very inspiring to the team and testing clients as it allowed them to see their own contributions to the overall picture and helped motivate them to work with me to introduce the interventions .
Insight : The team and I have then designed and implemented a number of internal systems , agreed on internal cultures and client - oriented approach and productivity enhancement areas and needed new
products and started working on translating those into visible actions , processes , conducted trainings , and regular communications and norms that we started implementing over the next 6 weeks . I must say that involving the whole team and some from the client side allowed me to fully engage the majority of the team as it helped them to learn new approaches into managing large and complex challenge into smaller actions while working hand in hand to design and implement those actions and stay motivated while working extra to keep work going while implementing those new agreed initiatives and testing them on the selected clients during the pilot phase and adjusting and practicing the listening mode with clients to better modify and adjust the systems , forms , procedures we have been working on .
Approach : The collaborative and engaging approach I have used with my team and clients directly supported the design thinking and allowed us to generate innovative and out of the box ideas as we have consistently answered the " what is ? " and " what if ? " questions and adjusted our approach to better fit , this was very much complemented by the testing clients who were onboard with us as they made us look at the approach from completely different angle and saved so much time , resources and efforts that the typical approach where we only look at the approach from one angle ( the service provider angle ) . Long story short , and few months later , we have used the mind mapping tool and to create a business unit ( CPU ) that is client and business oriented which the Client survey feedback captured Clients saying “ CPU is a client - business oriented unit unlike any other Operation units we have seen and we feel so comfortable working with the team , learn from them and work collaboratively together to get better results ” . Many modifications were made based on the ongoing / constant feedback we receive , mistakes we made , audit and oversight comments and recommendations we were receiving which allowed us to work and adjust the 20 % areas that were not covered in original approach and all those helped us as a team working closely and jointly with the client to go above and beyond our original design while making us resilient to address challenges as they come .

Am choosing the mind mapping to share the design thinking and innovations I have done with my team in our unit which provides procurement services to the Extreme Commerce ( Teetly ) at HQ serving 1000 clients with only 8 team members .
Challenge : As I have explained earlier , our unit , Central Procurement Unit or known as CPU , have been aligned as a result of reform / structural change exercise to provide huge procurement services to HQ units supporting nearly 1000 clients and estimated $ 80 million / annually of procurement services with only 8 team members . This is a challenge for two main reasons : 1 . The existing culture and procedures of the organization in providing procurement services and accountability which all rest with the Procurement team and not jointly mapped and managed ; 2 . The high expected demands and procurement volume , large client based which is not exponentially linked with the number of CPU team to carry out those services to the expectations and without risking the organization ’s rules , visibility , and best interest .
Selection : with the two challenges above and due to the time pressure , the team and I decided to step out of office and have a mini - retreat ( half day ) to dive deeper into the design thinking process , looking at how we can use it to generate better ideas and thus select what can we adjust in our approach and reposition CPU to immediately respond to the organization and Clients expectations and as such we have decided that we will work on the following areas that will have a direct impact on our capacity , two way communications with clients , compliance , and delivery . Those areas were directly linked with the two challenges highlighted above and we all agreed that addressing those require us to involve the clients as well and for that we have identified a number of active / proactive clients to help us which we have invited with us to the mini - retreat to jointly share our approach , listened to their existing problems and challenges and what is it that they need to solve and deliver , we then used them as our sounding board and to pitch our ideas , proposals and solutions and finally to pilot and test the later solutions proposed before the final launch .
Application : after intensive brain storming and assessing " what is ? The team and testing client that we invited , we came up with a number of new initiatives and modifications to our business model that covers the majority of the challenges and can be implemented soon and tested to allow us to show immediate solutions and we all agreed that those will help us cover 80 % of the issues and we all agreed that it is almost impossible to achieve 100 % coverage and do everything is such a short period , that is why we have agreed that we can always correct , adjust , and amend the 20 % along the way and as we go . This was very inspiring to the team and testing clients as it allowed them to see their own contributions to the overall picture and helped motivate them to work with me to introduce the interventions .
Insight : The team and I have then designed and implemented a number of internal systems , agreed on internal cultures and client - oriented approach and productivity enhancement areas and needed new
products and started working on translating those into visible actions , processes , conducted trainings , and regular communications and norms that we started implementing over the next 6 weeks . I must say that involving the whole team and some from the client side allowed me to fully engage the majority of the team as it helped them to learn new approaches into managing large and complex challenge into smaller actions while working hand in hand to design and implement those actions and stay motivated while working extra to keep work going while implementing those new agreed initiatives and testing them on the selected clients during the pilot phase and adjusting and practicing the listening mode with clients to better modify and adjust the systems , forms , procedures we have been working on .
Approach : The collaborative and engaging approach I have used with my team and clients directly supported the design thinking and allowed us to generate innovative and out of the box ideas as we have consistently answered the " what is ? " and " what if ? " questions and adjusted our approach to better fit , this was very much complemented by the testing clients who were onboard with us as they made us look at the approach from completely different angle and saved so much time , resources and efforts that the typical approach where we only look at the approach from one angle ( the service provider angle ) . Long story short , and few months later , we have used the mind mapping tool and to create a business unit ( CPU ) that is client and business oriented which the Client survey feedback captured Clients saying “ CPU is a client - business oriented unit unlike any other Operation units we have seen and we feel so comfortable working with the team , learn from them and work collaboratively together to get better results ” . Many modifications were made based on the ongoing / constant feedback we receive , mistakes we made , audit and oversight comments and recommendations we were receiving which allowed us to work and adjust the 20 % areas that were not covered in original approach and all those helped us as a team working closely and jointly with the client to go above and beyond our original design while making us resilient to address challenges as they come .

Challenge & Selection
During my second - to - last year of high - school ( 2013 ) , I decided to team up with two friends of mine and explore a market which at the time was still uncharted : create a fashion brand aimed towards the street culture and based on Milan , our hometown . If the former - the street - culture - oriented fashion - was an upcoming trend back then which was just starting to take off , the latter was yet to be covered and provided an interesting ground to experiment some entrepreneurship ideas off some friends ’ impressions and insights . We thus set up all of the necessary contacts , the business model , and got ourselves an identity ( 1861 . Milano - 743 Erika Bypass Apt . 419
Andreahaven , IL 54207 ) looking forward to our first launch , which would simply be composed of a t - shirt and a hoodie . However , even though we already decided on the main aspects of the product line , being at our first experience in the field we deemed useful resorting to gather some of our potential clients ’ feedback ( mostly teenagers , just like us ) . For this , we made use of some contacts of ours to talk to one of the main party organizations in Milan , and found out about a date of a party which would suit perfectly our time - constraint needs with respect to the products ’ actual launch . The organization of the party , who appeared interested in the project , granted us the possibility of organizing stands at the event to promote an actual pre - launch event , in which we could show and discuss samples directly with our potential clientbase : a technique which just later - when attending this course - I realized being called “ learning launch ” .
Application
We then began to think how to organize the learning launch event , in order to understand what we would need to bring on the day of the party and how to present it to the people to get the most useful information out of it . We were aware that the participants would know in advance of the pre - launch event - the organizers , in fact , made sure to advertise it accordingly in the invites - , so we knew that it was an opportunity which we needed to capitalize . For such , we opted to focus on the fit and comfort of our first products , since we had not had yet the possibility to receive feedback on it ( whilst with the designs and prints , on the other hand , we had already managed to gather useful information via surveys and brief interviews ) . We brought to the party 1861 - themed roll - ups and posters to create cozy and recognizable stands , in which we had potential customers try different kinds of fits and garment models of the products - the t - shirt and the hoodie - that we had decided to launch . We had skinnier / more loose fits , a couple of different material combinations and big smiles on our faces , so the party finally began as we waited impatiently the first people to come by ( we decided not to go and chase them out in the wild , as it was not the most effective approach to adopt in that environment ) .
Insight & Approach
The learning launch event was a success , and really helped us also in gaining valuable traction among friends of the potential clients by word - of - mouth , a nice side - effect to add along ! Naturally , though , our main goal was a different one as previously specified , which we
managed to cover with a concrete deal of useful gathered information . For instance , we realized that a skinnier fit for the t - shirts was welcomed , and that the 100 % cotton samples that we brought with us were preferred ; for what concerns the hoodies , we realized that some samples had too - small hoods ( thus a larger , less tight on the scalp one was preferred ) , fits which were looser on the trunk and tighter on the arms were more liked and finally a mixture which was - unlike the t - shirts - not 100 % cotton , rather 80 % cotton and 20 % polyester gave the best combination of on - skin comfort and wearability feel . At the end of the night we had some people approaching us to buy some of the samples , too ! One extra perk that made us even more enthusiast of the experience .
After that , we proceeded with our launch campaign and sold the two models which we got feedback on at the event . We had planned a second , four - garment launch for later that year and were looking forward to choosing amongst the designs that we were coming up with , when eventually other commitments entered each one of our lives and we could not properly follow up the brand . However , the experience enriched us on the ways in which such a tool could become useful when approaching a problem to solve ( in our case , the best possible products that we could enter the market with ) , and the reality is that - albeit on different scales - , it could really be useful in a very wide variety of scenarios ! If we were , though , to proceed with the second launch as we had planned , we would have used the same learning - launch approach for what concerns the garments to use for our products . However , we may have wanted to extend it to different designs on which giving our potential customers the possibility to choose from , although the visualization approach ( that we resorted to for the same task during our first launch ) revealed to be effective : having visualizations of what our products would look like via mock - ups allows to reach a wider crowd with a less demanding organization , and to gather important feedback on the designs based on a reliable representation of what the finished product would look like . It is also easy to change the mock - ups on the go during interviews in accordance to suggestions and proposals of the interviewees , so that an agile and interactive learning process with potential customers can be instituted .

This is especially true at large organizations with even bigger , global clients . A large alcohol client of my advertising agency traditionally bought a lot of TV , out - of - home , and print media . However , with the changing consumer landscape ( read : digital - first , phone attached to the hip ) , they recognized the need to develop a campaign that was more interactive , engaging , and inclusive . With a lot of stakeholders on the client side and internally at the agency I had to help everyone understand the user journey and mechanics of a multi - channel digital idea through visualization . Selection : I chose the visualization tool as a way to simplify a complex idea , to engage stakeholders in the process by drawing in real - time , and to help achieve a consensus on the plan . Application : In previous presentations , the creative team would simply read a script or somewhat enact what viewers will see on screen . For this idea , we needed to briefly explain what it was , but more importantly we needed to show how it would work to get stakeholder buy - in . Rather than simply speaking about how it works , I used visualization to take stakeholders on a journey . I first started out by visually showing a “ day in the life ” of a consumer to justify why we were recommending the platforms and experience . I showed a visual of our target persona surrounded by icons of the media they consume all day . This includes waking up and checking email , messages , Facebook and Instagram . Later they may stream audio , or visit Youtube to watch videos . Then , I visually showed what the campaign user journey would look like . I explained to the group that doing this exercise will help illuminate gaps and opportunities in the journey . I drew the entire user experience from awareness of the campaign , through to participating and sharing with their friends to drive earned media reach for the brand . Using thought bubbles , I showed what the user ’s mindset was in each phase . I used emojis to illustrate ‘ pains ’ and ‘ gains ’ , and I colour coded existing assets and new assets required to make for a great user experience . Once going through each phase in detail , I put the full journey up on one large screen so everyone involved could see it from start to finish . We discussed possibilities , requirements , and
accountabilities . During this , I wrote down the list for each phase on screen so everyone could see what needed to be accomplished . Insight : Visualization is immensely helpful in illustrating ideas that could otherwise be considered complex , and as a result , fail to see the light of day . Oftentimes consumer journeys are presented in a linear , text - heavy way . By using visuals , icons , and even emojis , it helped to engage and maintain interest . It also provided a more natural way of highlighting everyone ’s role in the process - and in some cases- elevating others , who may have been ignored in the past . Approach : Next time I will provide a document to read prior to the meeting , inclusive of key data points and insights about the consumer . That way , while going through the journey , everyone involved will already be aware of key channels , consumer insights , and other considerations . This will make the interaction flow easier versus fielding data questions on the go .

Challenge & Selection After I joined a new company , I was tasked with the further development of a new product that was released on a rather new market . In my role , I was responsible for a team of developers in the research and development department . Starting the project , it quickly became apparent , that there was a very incoherent picture about what further steps should be taken in the future development of this product . In order to answer this question , I conducted interviews with a diverse group of people as part of the “ What is?”-phase . One of the key insights , that was revealed during this phase was that the majority of past and present discussions strongly focused on technical problems that the product would have to solve going forward . However , what was missing at the time , was the insight of where these problems came from and why they were important to consider for future development . Essentially , there was no common understanding about who the customers of this product actually are , what challenges they are trying to solve with our product and which applications they are having . “ Storytelling is the difference between solving a problem and creating a cause ” , says Lee Palomino , Global Leadership Development Director at Mars Inc.1 Thus , storytelling seemed to be the ideal tool to create empathy for our customers , their pains and challenges . My goal was to create and use detailed stories about our customers in order to clarify the cause as the basis on which to decide for new features and development steps to take for this particular product .
Application In order to learn and to create real - world stories about our customers , their particular pains and applications and how they use or wish to use our product , I approached and interviewed a large variety of potential diverse customers . In addition , I conducted interviews with several sales employees , who shared their insights with me . Next , I had to consider who my audience would be . It turned out , that a consistent picture about the customers for this product was missing across departments and levels . Thus , the stories needed to generate value for developers , superiors , marketing and sales employees alike . They needed to be tangible , short , easy to understand , with a good balance between a high - level overview about the customers ’ application and technical details . I decided to simplify and abstract the actual customers into “ personas ” , who could be taken as an example for a larger group of customers . The personas I created were described with a name , age and occupation , even certain character traits , all based on real encounters with our customers . I described their motivation and what they are trying to do , what their application and particular problem is , how they are trying to solve it and how our product helps or could help in this endeavor . I told the stories about our customers in several separate meetings in smaller groups as well as larger diverse groups , consisting of colleagues from different departments .
1 From Design Thinking for Innovation , University of Virgina , Week 2 , „ Video : Storytelling Tool “ , https://www.coursera.org/learn/uva-darden-design-thinking-innovation/lecture/PAXCd/storytelling-tool
Insight As it turned out , this approach was not only beneficial for us in the development department . Here , the stories helped me and my team greatly to identify the next steps for the future development of this product , which was my initial goal . It gave everyone tangible examples on which to base technical discussions and solution ideas on . The team started talking about how they could solve the problem of particular personas , even calling them by their names and actively changing perspective from a technical point of view to the customer ’s point of view . In marketing , the stories sparked new ideas on how to market the product , which customer groups could be targeted with which topics . The most unexpected outcome for me was generated in the sales department . Hearing the stories and being able to relate to the customers and their problems , some sales employees felt a lot more confident in approaching potential customers . As they now knew more about many of the more common customer problems , they felt better prepared to enter this still rather unknown market segment . It had a positive effect on their motivation and even led to people challenging each other about who would probably make more sales this year . This overwhelmingly positive and unexpected effect generated by the storytelling tool strengthened my confidence in applying design thinking methods even further .
Approach Having witnessed the strength of the storytelling tool and the value it generated across departments , I would choose a similar approach for future development projects . In hindsight , I would probably combine it more with the visualization tool , in order to bring the personas and their stories more alive and even more relatable and easy to understand . I will also continue to spread design thinking methods the best I can amongst colleagues in order to positively influence our mutual way of solving complex problems in the future .

1 From Design Thinking for Innovation , University of Virgina , Week 2 , „ Video : Storytelling Tool “ , https://www.coursera.org/learn/uva-darden-design-thinking-innovation/lecture/PAXCd/storytelling-tool
Insight As it turned out , this approach was not only beneficial for us in the development department . Here , the stories helped me and my team greatly to identify the next steps for the future development of this product , which was my initial goal . It gave everyone tangible examples on which to base technical discussions and solution ideas on . The team started talking about how they could solve the problem of particular personas , even calling them by their names and actively changing perspective from a technical point of view to the customer ’s point of view . In marketing , the stories sparked new ideas on how to market the product , which customer groups could be targeted with which topics . The most unexpected outcome for me was generated in the sales department . Hearing the stories and being able to relate to the customers and their problems , some sales employees felt a lot more confident in approaching potential customers . As they now knew more about many of the more common customer problems , they felt better prepared to enter this still rather unknown market segment . It had a positive effect on their motivation and even led to people challenging each other about who would probably make more sales this year . This overwhelmingly positive and unexpected effect generated by the storytelling tool strengthened my confidence in applying design thinking methods even further .
Approach Having witnessed the strength of the storytelling tool and the value it generated across departments , I would choose a similar approach for future development projects . In hindsight , I would probably combine it more with the visualization tool , in order to bring the personas and their stories more alive and even more relatable and easy to understand . I will also continue to spread design thinking methods the best I can amongst colleagues in order to positively influence our mutual way of solving complex problems in the future .

I am a member of my organization ’s online marketing department and our challenge is to improve the workflow or a product within the company in order to increase sales in the online channel and to spend marketing budgets on the right campaigns .
The project/ product scope online application and interactive website for the insurance company includes the online marketing department composed of 4 employees , hat needs to deal with larger department and IT department , with whom we work closely . The project is limited to internal resources ( i.e. , budget and employee time ) . The project should not exceed 15 days and the solution should include an even distribution of working hours amongst the team members . We will focus on trying to uncover what our team members , as well as key stakeholders within the larger marketing department and IT department , consider to be ineffective or problematic about the workflow .
Selection
Our team has already gone through several design thinking activities and sessions , so we are ready to try the launch of the website and application . the application launch is an experiment meant to test an idea and service of a new feature integration .
Application
For our first application launch , we focused on the execution of our online marketing tasks . we wanted to see if we could structure our tasks , projects , and processes to adapt the methods of other project management for our work ( time , daily , other projects and requests )
to become more flexible . the structure and execution were the main causes of our workflow challenge .
Our team went through a training program with a project management and time management solution for projects .
Next , we went through workshops to structure our duties and processes in a more managed way . These two sessions occurred within in a a short timeslot
. We expected to produce a document with a clear description of our new , application and website processes / workflow .
For our second website launch , we focused on clarity about our tasks and priorities and what features should we start with . prioritization of tasks was the main cause of our workflow challenge .
Our team completed several meetings and survey . Additionally , stakeholders from the larger department and IT department also did workshops . The surveys included questions about our new , features , understanding the process and the prioritization of tasks , and feelings about the change , and were conducted within the timeframe .
Insight
By applying the launch , our department identified our process and designed launches to test these features . also , we thought through anticipated results , expecting to find that a more acceptable approach would improve our workflow and to add more features , and that both our team and the key stakeholders would be open to the new prioritization of tasks and process .
Our actual results were slightly different from what we anticipated : while our team was open to the prioritization of tasks and process , the key stakeholders in the larger marketing department and IT department expressed some concerns . then , our team review this insight and incorporate it into future feature designs . The ongoing incorporation of insight is particularly important at this stage , as launches come before a full rollout in the design thinking timeframe .
Approach
Given that our team has already gone through several design thinking activities / tools and at this stage in the timeframe , the learning launch is the appropriate tool . As previously mentioned , our team needs to review the insight gained from previous launches and incorporate this insight into future launch designs . Future launch designs should include insight gained , progress made , and come closer to a compelling solution and features ready for the public .

Name : Arnaldo Campos
Forgive me in advance if you , fellow student , get stuck while reading my paragraphs . I ’m a Spanish native speaker , but I ’ll do my best to get understood in the assignment .
Challenge :
I have n’t worked in any organization yet , I ’m an industrial engineering student from Peru , in South America . But I found a way to utilize the Visualization Tool . Due to the quarantine imposed in my country , I ’m currently taking virtual classes at my university , which did n’t have enough experience imparting online courses before . So , I ’ve struggled while learning , and also while trying to do group work with my classmates . We were used to study together in the study lounges of the campus . There was some kind of cubicles with tables and whiteboards that help us study together and sketch any idea that we may have . But dealing with online education is so different and the communication between peers has been reduced to virtual meetings via Zoom or Google Meets . Hence , the challenge for me is to implement a kind of visualization using our laptops or another way to communicate graphical ideas to understand situations .
Selection :
I figured out an application for this Visualization Tool while I was using Microsoft WhiteBoard to simulate , forgive the redundancy , a whiteboard to solve some math problems for an assignment . As it was said in the screencast related to this tool , visualization is about visual thinking , and that ’s an ability that my partners and I , as engineering students , were used to putting in practice in presential classes . One of the main reasons why I chose this tool is that it lets us portray ideas that do n’t even exist yet actually . Similar to what the lecturer said , university students usually generate new ideas and possibilities for improvement ( while doing some academic research , for instance ) that have n’t been seen before . And sometimes is easier to get a common understanding of an idea using visualization rather than verbalizing that notion . Based on those ideas , I realized the importance of a virtual whiteboard ( or slides , a Prezi presentation , etc . ) to enhance online education for engineers . Ideas are commonly misunderstood if a peer or a professor just talks in a videoconference since is difficult to understand even what is the topic they ’re trying to communicate . So , I decided to implement the Visualization Tool .
Application :
The first time I implemented the Visualization Tool was while my classmates and I were trying to figure out how to design an improvement plan for a company in an Introduction to Management course that we ’re taking . I realized that we were exposing our ideas at the Zoom meeting , but none of us could fully understand other ideas . It was difficult to fully imagine a situation just by verbalizing it . At that point , I suggested that we could use Microsoft Whiteboard and the share screen function of Zoom to simulate the whiteboards that we used to have at the campus and portray there our ideas .
So , all of us started to diagram and capture our thoughts on our screens . I have a multi- touch notebook , so it was easy for me . However , I realized some of my friends struggled while sketching with the mouse , but their sketches were still understandable . At the moment we started sharing our screens via Zoom , we were able to better understand the
ideas of the others . For instance , a friend of mine sketched a situation in which a company is reintroducing itself to the market after the quarantine , with the safety protocols required , and I think that ’s something each person can imagine differently without having a base drawing . I think the Visualization Tool was applied satisfactorily overall , as it helps us to use our visual thinking related to the right part of our brain , but I think that the inability to draw at the same time , as in a physical whiteboard , was a constraint .
Insight :
What I discovered is that , indeed , is much better to understand others ’ ideas if they draw something or use a picture to describe their thoughts . I gained the insight that is important to completely understand the “ what is ” part of the problem , that is to say , the complete scope of the problem and prevent to make it too narrow . Talking about online education , many students claim that there ’s a problem that involves the teaching quality , but some of them do n’t broaden the issue to the absence of a whiteboard or a plenty life interaction between peers .
Another insight I gained is the relevance of acquiring a uniform understanding of the issue / problem / situation between your peers of you . What I mean is that everyone in the group has to have the same concept of the problem and manage the same design criteria to reach an innovative solution . That idea of Design Thinking applied to my described case , I think , it ’s represented in the fact that my peers and I had to “ speak in the same terms ” in order to come to a solution for the business case of our assignment . If we couldn´t plenty comprehend the situation , we ’d have problems while developing a solution . That ’s the situation in which Visualization Tool helped us a lot .
Approach :
Finally , the next time I utilize the Visualization Tool , I ’ll tell my peers that if they do n’t have to use the screen to draw , they can diagram a picture in a paper and then take a photo and present it during the virtual conference . Also , I think the application of this tool could be improved a lot if there ’s software that lets people draw simultaneously on their screens .
As I wrote in the start of my assignment , I have n’t worked at any place yet , but I become amazed by the possibilities and tools that Design Thinking offers us , it even helped me adopt a more growth mindset , and I hope I could use its tools in my future working life .

I am a consultant for a Dutch company . The company is publicly orientated and focusses on social housing , social real - estate , local government , schools and healthcare . I work for the business unit social housing . Our focus areas for the next two years are the Dutch energy transition and data . My job will be to consult companies on how to make better business decisions threw mining and analyzing data . Since this is a non - existing area within our company we have to make our clients aware of wat we are doing . For this we are using a platform build by the business unit focusing on local government . The platform is build to visualize for instance key performance indicators and . My management want me to sell this to as much as possible . We do not even know if our sector wants what we build and pay what we are asking . For this reason I selected the Learning Launch .
According to Ed Hesse , in the video the Learning Launch , the learning launch is a method to swiftly and cheaply test your ideas by doing small experiments .
Application
For the learning launch we decided to test our ideas rather than starting to sell the product at hand . even though we had a proof of concept in a other market segment , we started to test our product by talking to CEO ’s and managers and validate our assumptions . After we had a good understanding of the needs we looked for a company willing to let us build it with them and both learn from the process . So we started with a pilot . The pilot contained producing a full BI platform working according to the specifications and needs of this customer . After completing we talked to more different CEO ’s and managers to show and check if the platform build in the pilot would also fill their needs .
Insight
The insight we gained was that , we made a assumption that our BI platform could exactly be copied to this market segment . But the companies needs where actually different . Instead of focusing only on budgets and policies the social housing needed more insight in in key performance / result indicators . This was a different approach of reviewing the results .
Design thinking made me look in a different way to approach our problem at hand . I realize that I do not have mastered all the skills yet to use design thinking and it is a learning process which will take me some time to master . But by using the methods at hand and reflection and evaluating the processes that have to be taken finally it will become a way of thinking and solving solutions
Approach
Next time I will start with the same tool . The way of learning and collecting a lot of data in a short period of time is very valuable for me and our company . I also noticed that the company where we did the pilot really appreciated it . It also gave them a lot of insights in what BI could do for their company .

Promotion & Staying at the top , gracefully .
Challenge & Selection
Storytelling is the tool I always use when I need to provide context , perspective , motivation , and gain support from my team for an important project . Over my career I had several bosses who were very astute in connecting a real - business life challenge we were facing at a moment - i.e. , a competitive process to expand our businesses internationally or a bid to sell energy to a high - profile customer in Brazil - to a successful ( most of the time ) story they had already lived , sometimes even in their personal lives . “ The talk ” used to happen at the beginning of projects , usually in our kick - off meetings , was part of the initial presentation and was led by the CDO ( Chief Development Officer ) or event the CEO depending on the scope of the project . We used to refer to them as anecdotes . The fact that these stories were real , conveyed a concrete sense of resilience by the people who were in them and were lived by our leaders in each case helped us a lot down the road to reconfigure during several setbacks , preserve our motivation and moral and restore our desire to win .
Application
The most challenging period of my career started in January 2014 with a promotion and took me almost 4 years . And the example I would like to briefly describe is how storytelling ( regarding my career and personal challenges ) helped me accept this promotion and start this new role with the support of the existing team . In January 2014 there was a major restructuring in my firm and almost all the executive directors were replaced . The new CEO asked me to leave Business Development - as the agenda would be less on the growth side and more on managing JVs – to become the Superintendent of power trading ( free market ) and commercialization ( regulated market ) , a bigger team which would give me the first P&L responsibility . My first challenge : the former superintendent , a very charismatic executive , was asked to step down as they wanted someone more focused on finance and processes . My second challenge : I had no formal experience in trading although my master ’s in finance and business development experience gave me the confidence to accept the promotion . My third challenge : lead senior managers , people who had been working for 15 - 20 years with the same subjects . So , the question was really about the three elements of trust and how I could first assemble them in a storytelling I delivered to the team during my first week :
1 . Would I be able to maintain / foster an atmosphere of positive relationships ( or camaraderie , a
“ trademark ” of my predecessor ? ) The implicit concern here was : “ am I going to be fired as well ” or “ is there a mandate to restructure the team ” ? What I could tell them in first place was that I was given autonomy to lead the team and the business , and this was the only way it could work for me : full responsibility for results and lack of results as well as always . Having said this meant that I had the green light for changes if believed they were necessary , but I was not given any script beforehand . I believed that I could foster an incredibly positive , constructive atmosphere and progress even further on fronts like team development ( technical and behavioural ) , business fluency and better relationship between the team based In Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro . I told them I had taught children math and computer science in different occasions in my life so as a non- trained professor I liked very much to transfer my business knowledge to the team as well . In addition to this , I encouraged them to speak with my previous teams to learn their perspective as well .
2 . Would I be able to quickly transfer my previous knowledge / expertise to trading and
commercialization ? I believed this was the smoothest point to address . I was not a specialist at all in any sector – my focus was on business and its fundamentals and my career at that time was developed in 4 blocks - chemical and petrochemical , metals and mining , management consulting and power - with different companies and corporate cultures . From telling them how I could transition from all these spaces , the belief I had that by holding on to fundamental business concepts and practices one can apply those in different sectors , and the benefits to me as an
individual from transitioning from time to time , I attracted their curiosity for subsequent individual meetings to address their development goals or even more conceptual career questions – it was an interesting journey specially with the younger team members .
3 . Did I walk my talk ? Was I consistent , did I honour commitments and keep promises ? Although
they could also obtain elements to judge this aspect from other colleagues , this one was more personal in my opinion and would be constructed day - by - day , by their observation . I mentioned to them that back in 2007 when I joined the firm , I told my first team that whenever they were offered a better career opportunity even within our firm , I would support them to pursue their objective . I shared with them something that happened to me and made me thing this way : when I was working for a mining company in 2010 , I was also studying for my master´s in finance . I was part of the business development team when an opportunity with the treasury team appeared . My boss did not support me because he believed it would have sound bad for him to lose someone for a neighbour department . It was difficult for me at that time and I never would have liked to provide the same negative experience to someone in my team .
Insight & Approach
On my first week I addressed the three points above in three different occasions : first meeting with the whole team , second meeting with managers only and third meeting with the whole team again and more structured in which I presented to them the initial findings , areas of concern and how we could cooperate during the first 3 months when we would reconvene and evaluate our progress .
I believe the stories I told them to illustrate our areas of concern stayed with them on the background over the years we worked together . Everyday I sensed that we have an opportunity to build this fabric called trust . The stories were on their minds and they kept checking whether the persona on that anecdote corresponds to the one in front of them , today . Although my example was not an objective one to reach a physical , concrete product ( a system , a car , or an app ) , it led us as to the fantastic product that is a team to function in harmony and in a transparent way .

### Input: Storytelling
Promotion & Staying at the top , gracefully .
Challenge & Selection
Storytelling is the tool I always use when I need to provide context , perspective , motivation , and gain support from my team for an important project . Over my career I had several bosses who were very astute in connecting a real - business life challenge we were facing at a moment - i.e. , a competitive process to expand our businesses internationally or a bid to sell energy to a high - profile customer in Brazil - to a successful ( most of the time ) story they had already lived , sometimes even in their personal lives . “ The talk ” used to happen at the beginning of projects , usually in our kick - off meetings , was part of the initial presentation and was led by the CDO ( Chief Development Officer ) or event the CEO depending on the scope of the project . We used to refer to them as anecdotes . The fact that these stories were real , conveyed a concrete sense of resilience by the people who were in them and were lived by our leaders in each case helped us a lot down the road to reconfigure during several setbacks , preserve our motivation and moral and restore our desire to win .
Application
The most challenging period of my career started in January 2014 with a promotion and took me almost 4 years . And the example I would like to briefly describe is how storytelling ( regarding my career and personal challenges ) helped me accept this promotion and start this new role with the support of the existing team . In January 2014 there was a major restructuring in my firm and almost all the executive directors were replaced . The new CEO asked me to leave Business Development - as the agenda would be less on the growth side and more on managing JVs – to become the Superintendent of power trading ( free market ) and commercialization ( regulated market ) , a bigger team which would give me the first P&L responsibility . My first challenge : the former superintendent , a very charismatic executive , was asked to step down as they wanted someone more focused on finance and processes . My second challenge : I had no formal experience in trading although my master ’s in finance and business development experience gave me the confidence to accept the promotion . My third challenge : lead senior managers , people who had been working for 15 - 20 years with the same subjects . So , the question was really about the three elements of trust and how I could first assemble them in a storytelling I delivered to the team during my first week :
1 . Would I be able to maintain / foster an atmosphere of positive relationships ( or camaraderie , a
“ trademark ” of my predecessor ? ) The implicit concern here was : “ am I going to be fired as well ” or “ is there a mandate to restructure the team ” ? What I could tell them in first place was that I was given autonomy to lead the team and the business , and this was the only way it could work for me : full responsibility for results and lack of results as well as always . Having said this meant that I had the green light for changes if believed they were necessary , but I was not given any script beforehand . I believed that I could foster an incredibly positive , constructive atmosphere and progress even further on fronts like team development ( technical and behavioural ) , business fluency and better relationship between the team based In Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro . I told them I had taught children math and computer science in different occasions in my life so as a non- trained professor I liked very much to transfer my business knowledge to the team as well . In addition to this , I encouraged them to speak with my previous teams to learn their perspective as well .
2 . Would I be able to quickly transfer my previous knowledge / expertise to trading and
commercialization ? I believed this was the smoothest point to address . I was not a specialist at all in any sector – my focus was on business and its fundamentals and my career at that time was developed in 4 blocks - chemical and petrochemical , metals and mining , management consulting and power - with different companies and corporate cultures . From telling them how I could transition from all these spaces , the belief I had that by holding on to fundamental business concepts and practices one can apply those in different sectors , and the benefits to me as an
individual from transitioning from time to time , I attracted their curiosity for subsequent individual meetings to address their development goals or even more conceptual career questions – it was an interesting journey specially with the younger team members .
3 . Did I walk my talk ? Was I consistent , did I honour commitments and keep promises ? Although
they could also obtain elements to judge this aspect from other colleagues , this one was more personal in my opinion and would be constructed day - by - day , by their observation .

My company sells subscriptions of specialized medical content to health institutions globally . Many of the buyers / administrators at the institutions complained that their users were not always aware of the content they were subscribing to , so it often went unused . This made it difficult to justify renewal of the subscription . The problem was also reflected in our analytics which showed heavy usage by a very small percentage of an institution ’s members and very little usage with the broader population .
We knew one option was to make the content discoverable on search engines like Google or other platforms medical searchers used such as PubMed . However , the technology of our current platform prevented us from opening our site to Google ’s crawlers to enable indexing of the content . Initial estimates indicated it would be too costly to build an entirely new platform to meet this need .
Selection
We chose to use a learning launch to test . Given the known popularity of Google amongst our customers , we wanted to test for a solution that was within our capabilities and budget . Since we were uncertain Google would crawl us , and more importantly rank us well , we designed a simple , iterative way to test our concepts while gathering data from real world users . This would enable us to determine our assumptions were correct ( or not ) and build a business case to secure additional investment for the project .
Application
We decided to start as small as possible for our test . Our hypothesis was : If we make a small set of our content available on a platform that google could crawl and index , we could get one or more users to click on it in search results . The first iteration of this test was mostly manual with a very simple interface . We were n’t worrying about engagement or scale yet . We just wanted to know if we could get that one click . The first iteration succeeded . The next step was to make more content available with a slightly more engaging interface . We incrementally added more content and features to the site as each step was successful .
As we began to see the success of the project , we devised a plan to scale the amount of content and user load that would be put on the system . We were able to make a case for this investment since our ongoing learning had shown positive results .
Insight
The most important insight gained from this Build - Measure - Lean cycle was the cultural shift it brought to the organization . There was a realization that we need not make big , risky decisions , but instead could step into a question methodically and scientifically . The organization also realized the importance of ensuring proper measurement tools were in place through initial launches . In the past , we had deferred tracking or analytics tools to subsequent releases , thinking it was more important to get features in the market . We realized it was more important to define the RIGHT features rather then quickly release suboptimal features .
Approach
While the initiative was generally successful , there are a few things I would change next time . Primarily , I would involve more people in the process , across different functions and including executives . As we sought to scale out as we learned , we found some in the organization challenged our approach and findings . They felt like they were being blindsided . Another thing I would do
differently is to ensure that the organization knew that our initial launches were not inherently scalable . There was a misconception amongst some executives that we could simply “ flip a switch ” to scale this out once we saw positive results from our initial tests . This made our business case for more investment more challenge , but not insurmountable .

Overview : My experience in using Storytelling tool as part of Design Thinking method , for defining a framework for gathering business requirements , for a complex multi - vendor multi - country IT transformation project
Reflection – Storytelling
Challenge I am a project manager for a world - leading IT Services company . My company has recently won a systems integration contract from a major telecom services provider in Europe . The contract is for an IT systems transformation project for multiple operating units in different countries . It is a digital transformation project , wherein the telecom operator wants to transform their businesses in the chosen countries and replace old IT systems with new state - of - the - art IT systems . Key objectives of the program are to improve end - customer experience in these countries , reduce time - to - market of new products & services , harmonize business processes across these different countries , bring in latest technology , reduce maintenance cost of IT systems in the long run and being able to provide new - age digital products & services to end - customers . This is a very ambitious program . Such a program has never been tried in the Europe region in the telecom market . There are no existing case studies for such an engagement in terms of size , scope and complexity . Therefore , it a good opportunity to use some concepts of Design Thinking . Moreover , we were not the only vendor . The primary vendor for this program was the product vendor itself ( which is unusual ) . Typically , it ’s the other way round , as in systems integration ( SI ) vendor generally plays the role of primary vendor in such IT programs and the product vendors ’ work under the SI . The specific challenge came about 1 month after the kick - off of the project . The main vendor had started the business requirements gathering workshops and after 4 weeks of workshops , the project came to a grinding halt . Client was very unhappy with the way primary vendor was running the workshops and were completely unsatisfied with the outcome workshops achieved after 4 weeks . Selection I and my team took this standstill in workshops as an opportunity . Even though we were the secondary vendor , but coming from a systems integration ( SI ) background , we could grasp ( or understand ) the underlying fundamental issue . Issue was that the ‘ Big Picture ’ was missing . And the client was expecting that the primary vendor will show them the way , will paint the big picture , will help their business users understand why their senior management has decided to launch a transformation project . But the primary vendor failed to fulfil this ( unwritten ) client expectation . After identifying the issue , we proactively reached out to key stakeholders from client side . It was not a regular meeting . This was too complex an issue to be handled by just creating simple MS powerpoint slide deck . We took a holistic approach and created a compelling story that would resonate with all levels of stakeholders , using tools like videos , client testimonials , cardboard cut - outs , board drawings etc .
Page 2 of 2
Application The most innovative thing we did was that we created cardboard cut - out of a man and a woman . We placed these cut - outs in the meeting room . These cut - outs represented the end - customers of our clients . We also printed out an entire customer journey , from beginning when a new customer starts as a prospect , till the end when a customer decides to leave . We pasted this long customer journey chart on one side of the meeting room . Lastly , we brought - in people from our organization who had successfully similar projects in other geographies to talk about their experiences . The cardboard customer cut - out made the biggest impact in our meeting . Our side always kept end- customer in the centre of our story . We used to physically point to ( cardboard ) customers . This helped drive home the point , that biggest beneficiary of our transformation project has to be the end - customer . At the end , we were able to successfully convince the client that the new methodology suggested by us should be adopted to run the business requirements workshops . If we would have gone - in with a standard presentation with bullet points , graphs , charts etc , then it would not have made any real impact . The fact that we focussed on creating a story around the client ’s end - customer , really made a significant impact , and affected meaningful change . Insight The biggest insight that I gained was that storytelling really works . It helps simplifying complex messages . It helps breaking silos within teams , and it increases people ’s excitement and motivation . It is a natural tendency of people to be sceptical to new ideas and be generally against drastic change . A well drafted story helps people to get engaged . And , once people are engaged , it becomes easier for a message to get transferred . Another very significant personal insight that I gained was the importance of listening in storytelling . A story has to be very contextual and the story teller has to be open to customizing his or her story based on the feedback from people . Hence , having good listening skills is essential to be a good storyteller . Last insight gained was the difference between an overarching story and small sub - stories . An overarching story is like an epic . And one epic can have multiple stories . Having a grand epic helps a lot . Approach As you can expect , there were multiple follow - up meetings with client after the first meeting . We took the concept of keeping our storytelling , with end - customer at the centre , even further . We involved our sub - vendors in the storytelling sessions . We even invited the primary vendor on the same platform and they also appreciated our effort and liked the new methodology . Because of the common and easily understandable message , everyone was able to rally behind the same storyline .

Challenge & Selection
The first tool I used was the tool of Mind Mapping , to achieve a shared understanding of a problem space with the college student run grocery store . Before defining any solution to the problem that why the store is not able to meet the need of the customer , I first trying to understand the different user for the store . Understanding the different users , I tried to address the need of those users .
We also the different pain for different users .
Application
So , I started applying the tool of mind mapping by using the graphical representation of the problem the best alternative solution available at present .
Here we address one of the pain point of the main user of the store i.e. students . We address the pain the student has to go through to satisfy its evening after class hunger . We also used the journey mapping to come to real problem the students are facing then we took the survey about the requirement of the students and used that database to come to the solution .
For each category of users like teachers , non - teaching staff , students etc we took 5 - 6 participants in each category and took the survey regarding their expectation for the grocery story and what changes they want to see in the future .
Insight & Approach
The mind mapping tool users helped us to understand the different user and their expectation . It helps to identify different user that we were not identified by the traditional method . The graphical problem - solving method is much useful than the traditional one . The shared learning in this is much higher than any other traditional method . This method has helped to see the problem from different angle which usually get hidden by the traditional method .
The method is a very useful in solving a problem it held to align the thought that were we should start with and we should move forward to solve the problem . It gives direction how we should treat the problem and solve it .

Tool applied : Storytelling
Challenge :
Storytelling tool are applicable in our day to day life . As a marketer of a toothpaste company , I always faced the challenges of how to attract customers , how to make our new product more attractive . Besides , I also faced challenges of how to ensure the phenomena of decreasing brand loyalty towards our products being happened as there are variety of choices for customers to choose in the markets nowadays .
Selection :
I choose to apply storytelling as it is able to get insight into users , build empathy . One of the reason is , we can better understand what users want from a solution . In a marketing company , if marketers use storytelling throughout the marketing process to ensure that all work focuses on the users needs and the value that company want to give those users . After completing marketing research to understand your customer ’s needs , you use your research to tell a story about who your customers are , what they want and how you will provide that . This makes easier for everyone involved in the project to empathize with the customers .
Application :
Storytelling involves emotional branding . Emotional branding is the practice of building brands that directly appeals to customers emotional state , needs and aspirations . Emotional branding helps to establish a connection between customer and products . People want to meet demand and advertisers need to implement these needs in a permanent cycle . Our company launched a campaign where our customers can share their product experiences through videos and blog . In a campaign , various food bloggers , artists and others share their experiences with us . We provided links to purchase our products online with different emotional videos that helps us to build a strong and loyal customer
base . This types of storytelling enables new customers more willingness to share their experiences on our products .
Insight :
Through the learning process we got to improve our products features , designs to meet customers expectations . We realized that people got attracted more by normal customers review than the celebrities and artists . This helps us in making our campaign more successful .
Approach :
Through applying the storytelling tools , another tools like visualization and mind- mapping directly applied . In order to perform better results , learning launch is another tool that I would be considered in the next steps . We need as a team to review the insights gained from our first two launches and incorporate the insights into future launch products as this is the most effective way of approaching solutions .

Challenge & Selection
The first tool I used was the tool of Visualization , to know a shared understanding of a problem space among a diverse group of customers before attempting to identify and define possible solutions to the problem . I use this approach often with our customers , who are the actual customer of our products and how they react to apply technology innovations to modernize their mission or the delivery of their services to their customer , in terms of business . The technique of using a " Zoozo " a cartoon based visualization of a problem and easy to understand how it works with a set of questions or prompts for discussion to allow a diverse group of customers 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 and for better result .
Application
I started the process by creating a " Zoozo " graphic similar to a straw man character of the problem domain . To develop the " Zoozo " graphic , I will draw from any existing material available to understand the environment . The existing material may be operational or procedural documents , training materials , marketing materials , I took the reviews from few of the people like how I could improve it with a set of questioneries .
Like The Zoozo graphic is simple , using simple shapes and icons available in Visio or on the Internet . If the front - stage / back - stage view does n’t work , then I will create a different type of visual , either based on reviews . The visualization showed the problems with which the customer could understand the add and how convincing it was to everyone . For the activity , I will divide the customers into groups of 2 - 3 participants each representing a different location or area of interest . Each group receives a poster - size copy of the Zoozo how it represents and what they have understood from that . The Zoozo graphic that they can write on directly , or use sticky notes to make comments . I give them two - three questions to answer , such as : 1 ) What key elements are missing from the graphic ? 2 ) What would you change about the graphic to make it more accurately reflect your problem space ? 3 ) What key insights do you have about the relationships between the entities in your problem space ? I give them approximately 40 minutes to discuss the questions and mark up the graphic . Then I have each group report out on their answers to those three questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their poster . As each group reports out , I record commonalities in the insights of each group , and then additional insights that come from the group discussion on an additional copy of the graphic . After the session , I digitize each group ’s poster as an artifact , create a view that combines the shared and new insights from the group discussion , and then create a revised graphic that incorporates their feedback and proposed the method they understand .
changes that they agreed to as a group .
What I made was the zoozo cartoon or graphic which made everyone what it enacts how it represents a problem and why is that Issue created it makes easy to understand through visualization like a zoozo facing a network issue for example a Voda phone a telecom network and how they enact and make them understand that is series 4 g network issue in the country they act as a character of real life and help in solving a problem .
The visualization has made me understand the customers in a better way and the feedbacks I got from them and how it can be handled and the next time to review the customer and make a opinion I feel better to use the same visualization method .
Thank you .

Challenge :
The experience management industry is competitive ( as are all industries ) with “ innovation ” being a key differentiator in the space . Requests for proposal and sales prospects frequently decide on vendors based on innovations . Two years ago , our executive team set a corporate goal around innovation and in support of that our marketing / branding focused on innovation with a key differentiator being the ability to combine data from disparate business tools in a unified platform . This generated a lot of interest . The decision to focus on unified reporting capability assumed that this would add value to our offering .
Selection :
Visualization . As a component of innovation , visualization provides constituents with a physical presentation of what the future will look like . I chose visualization because when done poorly it can have a significantly negative impact on a business .
Application :
Rather than enhance our existing reporting platform the decision was made to innovate a brand - new reporting platform . Visualizations were white - boarded , based on assumptions for what would be the best reporting functionality for our clients . Visualizations were also created by our marketing graphics designer using input from our head of sales , head of technology , and CEO and produced to look cool . PowerPoint slides were incorporated into our pitch deck ; the designs were engaging and looked impressive .
However , existing clients were not interviewed to gain insight into how their teams used the reporting platform , what problems they were trying to solve for or were encountering with the existing technology . Further , the development team responsible for programming the tool based on the visualizations were not familiar with our customer profiles or with the use cases of the reporting platform .
The development plan focused on one large rollout , with coordinated marketing and press announcements to create a lot of buzz in the media . After many months delay , the new product was delivered to the first three clients with almost immediate issues for the clients and our internal teams .
To say the new reporting platform did not provide value is an understatement . It did not solve client problems , i.e. it did n’t add value . It was disruptive to our clients ’ operations , and to our relationships with them . Employee morale was negatively impacted , and several employees left the business over the course of several months .
Approach :
The next design innovation visualizations will :
• Include an understanding current state of reporting , including mapping out the client journey of all client constituents .
• Consider customer needs ; putting customers at the center of the initiative and asking them open - ended questions about their needs and what would add value we would have been better aligned for success .
• Including client constituents in development planning to understand what would add value .
• Plan for piloting small development rollouts that could be quickly and easily deployed for quick wins , or quick recoveries .
Visualizations that focused on novelty and were visually appealing , rather than creating value , resulted in damaging our reputation with clients and employees .

Reflection – Visualization
Warning : This is a very specific case of study , not a generalized problem in all the universities in this unmentioned Latin - American country . Challenge : I am a Math teacher for students in their first year of studies at university level . Our challenge is to obtain an improvement in the student ’s attitude towards mathematic courses , that maximizes the learning and minimizes some corrupt practices plaguing the area . The social context of the university is suffering from several maladies including persistent corruption at several levels ; wanting basic and intermediate education systems , with students growing a bad attitude towards mathematics and other sciences ; the viveza criolla ( the natives cunning ) pervading the whole society . There is not an easy answer as for why the corruption exists and what the solution should be , there is quite a corpus dealing with this topic from different perspectives , ranging from the moral point of view to the Utilitarian point of view , and several in between [ 1 ] . Students enter in the superior education system taking the vices and virtues from the environment and personal previous experience . Selection : Visualization tool is selected in order to obtain better understanding of what is expected from students , from the stakeholders ; who are stakeholders in the students view , and why the student choices may differ from what is expected . The goal is to make sense from the variety of observations that are expected [ 2 ] . Application : Several talks and interviews with students were conducted in three of the most important math courses , namely Calculus I , Linear Algebra ( LA ) and Ordinary Differential Equations ( ODE ) , during the first semester of 2020 ( May to August in the local scholar time ) . The approach was designed using a strategy similar to the “ bad cop , good cop ” technique , since it was expected that the principal professors would behave the same way as always , i.e. , giving exhortative speeches against corruption and dishonesty . On the other hand , three assistant professors behave in a sympathetic way , offering extra time for counseling and to help students out of hard homework and assignments . The student paying some advanced student to make the assignment for him / her was par for the course , hence the free help from the assistant teacher was essential to establish a connection with the students . At the end of the partials , the confidence built made students open to talk about why they cheat and look for shortcuts even in courses other than C , LA and ODE .
Figure 1 : Trying to figure all the stakeholders from the student point of view
Insight : It turns out that , while many students really wanted to learn from their lessons , they did n’t see a direct practical application of what they were studying to their future jobs . Therefore , courses like
LA were seen mostly as an obstacle hindering their careers instead of a set of techniques they could benefit from in future . The view of the students can be summarized in the following figure , where a shortcut , any shortcut , is better than following the regular process :
Figure 2 : The current students view of the homework
Students feel pressure from their families , teachers , significant others , and peers to progress . However , a new stakeholder made appearance , it will be called External Agent ( EA ; Figure 1 ) . EA consists of people related to students with no other purpose than to cheat , help cheat offering to make the homeworks , and providing alternative ways of education ; all for a pay . EA is the main agent of the shortcut . There is a raging business sector developed around the idea of helping students through the formal education system . EAs compete offering parallel lessons and showing the higher approval rates between their clients , as opposed to the approval rates in the formal education system . Why a student would pay for these services in a public education setting supposed to be free ? The answer is that the formal education is not providing students with a vision and a mission , neither guidance or mentoring ; they are seen as providers of just obstacles . Teachers demand highly difficult tasks in a short time . There are reports of requirements of readings 90 + pages just to be evaluated in three days via an online quiz . Why should a student spend 10 hours to understand the matter , when an EA can explain it to you in a short 2 hours lesson , to many students simultaneously and even make the quiz for you ? Economically , this is a lost battle for the formal education system . All things together , there is a too high cost of being legal [ 3 ] . Approach : The knowledge gained allow us to propose some guidelines for an alternative approach in the formal education in mathematics , not being exclusive from other areas of sciences . Teachers need a reminder to reassess the structure of the lessons by following the instructional moments in class [ 4 ] , so that more emphasis be given to the motivational component .
Figure 3 : The view of a better future by following the regular process .
For the students to see the regular path as taking them to the next level of knowledge ( Figure 3 ) , the homeworks and assignments are to be redesigned to be less in quantity , but more quality
oriented . Meaning : exercises designed to potentiate the abilities needed in the career , starting from the easy level , up to the advanced one . Hence , a sense of purpose and achievement can be attained .
Figure 4 : Assignments categorized as easy , intermediate and advanced level
Small groups should be organized in order to make collaborative the development and the problem solving . There are several tools provided by the information technologies , so that mentoring and guidance can be provided online . There should be reasonable deadlines ( “ plazos ” ) .
Figures 5 & 6 : Collaborative work with reasonable deadlines
It is expected that some peer pressure would build up , but also escalating the collaborative problem solving . When the students see they can actually get help from their peers and better mentoring from their teachers , they would see the cost of staying in the regular path as favorable . The visualization tool will become essential to share the insight gained with the rest of the faculty , and will be key in the next stages of the project .

### Input: INTRODUCTION TO DESIGN THINKING
Reflection – Visualization
Warning : This is a very specific case of study , not a generalized problem in all the universities in this unmentioned Latin - American country . Challenge : I am a Math teacher for students in their first year of studies at university level . Our challenge is to obtain an improvement in the student ’s attitude towards mathematic courses , that maximizes the learning and minimizes some corrupt practices plaguing the area . The social context of the university is suffering from several maladies including persistent corruption at several levels ; wanting basic and intermediate education systems , with students growing a bad attitude towards mathematics and other sciences ; the viveza criolla ( the natives cunning ) pervading the whole society . There is not an easy answer as for why the corruption exists and what the solution should be , there is quite a corpus dealing with this topic from different perspectives , ranging from the moral point of view to the Utilitarian point of view , and several in between [ 1 ] . Students enter in the superior education system taking the vices and virtues from the environment and personal previous experience . Selection : Visualization tool is selected in order to obtain better understanding of what is expected from students , from the stakeholders ; who are stakeholders in the students view , and why the student choices may differ from what is expected . The goal is to make sense from the variety of observations that are expected [ 2 ] . Application : Several talks and interviews with students were conducted in three of the most important math courses , namely Calculus I , Linear Algebra ( LA ) and Ordinary Differential Equations ( ODE ) , during the first semester of 2020 ( May to August in the local scholar time ) . The approach was designed using a strategy similar to the “ bad cop , good cop ” technique , since it was expected that the principal professors would behave the same way as always , i.e. , giving exhortative speeches against corruption and dishonesty . On the other hand , three assistant professors behave in a sympathetic way , offering extra time for counseling and to help students out of hard homework and assignments . The student paying some advanced student to make the assignment for him / her was par for the course , hence the free help from the assistant teacher was essential to establish a connection with the students . At the end of the partials , the confidence built made students open to talk about why they cheat and look for shortcuts even in courses other than C , LA and ODE .
Figure 1 : Trying to figure all the stakeholders from the student point of view
Insight : It turns out that , while many students really wanted to learn from their lessons , they did n’t see a direct practical application of what they were studying to their future jobs . Therefore , courses like
LA were seen mostly as an obstacle hindering their careers instead of a set of techniques they could benefit from in future . The view of the students can be summarized in the following figure , where a shortcut , any shortcut , is better than following the regular process :
Figure 2 : The current students view of the homework
Students feel pressure from their families , teachers , significant others , and peers to progress . However , a new stakeholder made appearance , it will be called External Agent ( EA ; Figure 1 ) . EA consists of people related to students with no other purpose than to cheat , help cheat offering to make the homeworks , and providing alternative ways of education ; all for a pay . EA is the main agent of the shortcut . There is a raging business sector developed around the idea of helping students through the formal education system . EAs compete offering parallel lessons and showing the higher approval rates between their clients , as opposed to the approval rates in the formal education system . Why a student would pay for these services in a public education setting supposed to be free ? The answer is that the formal education is not providing students with a vision and a mission , neither guidance or mentoring ; they are seen as providers of just obstacles . Teachers demand highly difficult tasks in a short time . There are reports of requirements of readings 90 + pages just to be evaluated in three days via an online quiz . Why should a student spend 10 hours to understand the matter , when an EA can explain it to you in a short 2 hours lesson , to many students simultaneously and even make the quiz for you ? Economically , this is a lost battle for the formal education system . All things together , there is a too high cost of being legal [ 3 ] . Approach : The knowledge gained allow us to propose some guidelines for an alternative approach in the formal education in mathematics , not being exclusive from other areas of sciences . Teachers need a reminder to reassess the structure of the lessons by following the instructional moments in class [ 4 ] , so that more emphasis be given to the motivational component .
Figure 3 : The view of a better future by following the regular process .
For the students to see the regular path as taking them to the next level of knowledge ( Figure 3 ) , the homeworks and assignments are to be redesigned to be less in quantity , but more quality
oriented . Meaning : exercises designed to potentiate the abilities needed in the career , starting from the easy level , up to the advanced one . Hence , a sense of purpose and achievement can be attained .
Figure 4 : Assignments categorized as easy , intermediate and advanced level
Small groups should be organized in order to make collaborative the development and the problem solving . There are several tools provided by the information technologies , so that mentoring and guidance can be provided online . There should be reasonable deadlines ( “ plazos ” ) .
Figures 5 & 6 : Collaborative work with reasonable deadlines
It is expected that some peer pressure would build up , but also escalating the collaborative problem solving . When the students see they can actually get help from their peers and better mentoring from their teachers , they would see the cost of staying in the regular path as favorable . The visualization tool will become essential to share the insight gained with the rest of the faculty , and will be key in the next stages of the project .

Challenge and Selection
First tool I used was Mind Mapping . I started the process by assessing what is — who the customers are , what they think of the product or service prototypes , and what resources there are for further development . This exploratory stage helps me identify data that needs to be translated into useful insights to help progress of project . Mind mapping is a tool that helps me to filter a huge amount of data into information and insights to be easily communicated . It ’s a great alternative to PowerPoints , spreadsheets and charts . This tool captures and represents the minds of the customer . This means you need to enlist your customers help to truly gain deep insights . I had involved all stakeholders in the mind mapping process — this also includes colleagues ( you need them on the same page about the challenge the company is facing ) . Consequently , it gives me meaningful data and allows patterns to emerge that might otherwise be missed .
I often use this tool for most of my Telecom projects where I need to shift technology to digitally advance and at the same time ready customers and colleagues to adapt change as all these ideas discussed with them .
Application and Approach
I have started with Single Idea that was represented with Text , Color or Image . Further , I have encourage all stakeholders and started populating the space with More - subsidiary ideas around the main idea and connect with lines that link it with Central idea . For making this activity workable , I have took below steps:-
Create a place for interaction Invite customers and stakeholders to interact with product or service and give feedback . Invited at least 10 - 15 stakeholders — this will ensure that there is enough useable data .
Encourage ideation Equip each participant with paper , pens and sticky notes . As they interact with the product and service ask them to highlight what they think is good about it , what could be improved and any new ideas they might have . Remind them that no idea is a bad idea — sometimes the best ideas are initially the least obvious .
Organize the data Once the note taking is completed , it ’s time to workshop . Split the group up into 3 - 4 participants per table . Before inviting them to share , have them group their ideas into clustered themes . Then have one participant present the theme , for example “ Robotics ” . After that , have another participant add any sticky notes that fit under the theme . It ’s crucial not to ignore additional outlying ideas at this stage , simply group them together .
Turning ideas into insights Challenge participants to come up with an insight statement — a few words that turn what is implied by their thematic observations into a genuine insight . A good way to get started is to start asking “ So what ? ” . Participants might need to be asked this several times until an insight is uncovered . Once it is revealed , write the insight statement down on a stick note and put it at the top of the theme .
Once aforementioned activities completed my Mind - Mapping is ready for prototyping and workable future model . Now my next step is “ What if “ – which are the conditions that design solutions must satisfy to solve customer problems .
Insight
I have learn that visual thinking can sometimes be better than words when brainstorming , asking questions and connecting ideas previously thought to be connectable . And mind mapping makes visual thinking come alive . The old saying , “ a photo is worth a thousand words ” is certainly true as a mind map with photos , sketches , and data visualizations provide an alternative way to express and share complex ideas . Mind mapping is visual pathway of overall vision that can be used by anyone for any project irrespective of domain .

Challenge & Selection
I am an intern in my organization ( an IT services company ) in the consulting area . I am a member of a Design Thinking team created to improve our ways of working and create value to our clients . We are not Design Thinking experts , so we are taking courses and trying to learn more about this interesting subject .
This is a big company , therefore there are a lot of employees and we do n’t know each other in many times , so what If I need something related to another department ? or the opposite side , what if a salesman , for example , needs a consultant to ask them something ? I think this is the main problem of these huge companies . Therefore , I started to think a solution for this problem and asked myself how I could fix it . After days of research and benchmarking other companies I found a solution . WHAT IF I create an online platform , divided by departments , where I ’m able to find each of my colleagues , to post anything in forums . We would only have to put our credentials to enter the platform .
I introduced this idea to my boss , and he was delighted ! We thought that the best option was to launch a prototype and see how it worked .
Application
For our first Learning Launch , my team and I created a web application but in beta version . We thought in our needs as employees , If I had this application what would I add ? We made a list of everything we need : employees chat , members of each departments , people hired , holidays calendar , forums …
After a month of hard working and with the help of the coding team , we made the beta version and we launched it . It was completely a success ! Our colleagues were delighted too , we knew each other more , we found things about our colleagues that we did n’t know , for example , one member of the marketing department had his own business of heating jackets . Everybody was very happy with this platform , so the board accepted to make the final version with some added details .
Insight and Approach
By applying this Learning Launch , our team has learnt a lot about Design Thinking . I made all the research , but we identified all the employees needs . We learnt how to create prototypes , we thought that this was the best MVP and the best way to prove that this could work . I do n’t know what would have happened if we had made surveys or interviews , what I know is that everybody was in love with our proposal including the Board . This has been a good experiment for the Design Thinking team and for the Board , because now they will be able to see their employees needs , hobbies , requests , etc . We made it with one Launch , but there would had not been any problem if we would have to make two or three . In this case , we ’ve been very lucky .
I think this case have opened the eyes of my team and the Board , because we have another perspective of how to do this kind of projects in future cases . Design Thinking tools are very useful if you know how to use them , and I hope to be an expert very soon !

Reflection : storytelling
Challenge
I am a university degree in administration , in the afternoons I work in a cafeteria called " University ESAN " in which I have multiple functions such as customer service , food preparation and charging ; I have a colleague who has been working in the company with which I distribute the tips for a longer time and in recent weeks I have noticed that they have dropped and more on the days than on which I rest .
Selection
I chose the storytelling tool that is that connection between people and the information that we share , use this tool since narration allows us to interact and tell stories with which the two parties identify , that unite us and that lead us to a common solution because as mentioned in video 2 called the storytelling tool “ storytelling allows you to create energy , passion and emotion about something “ and I think the most important thing is to find the way in which a story helps us to give it strength the other .
Application and Insight
One day at work I dedicated myself to observing my colleague and noticed that when she attended to clients she did it in a rude way so I took some time with her and we started talking , she told me that she was very strained first because she was under pressure . through school and secondly because she did not have the support of her parents , with that I could understand her and I told her that I also studied and like she was very stressed by all the homework they left me , but that I went to a psychologist who He allowed me to realize that this was the cause of my bad mood with others because it expressed my frustration , but with his help I managed to organize my work and student life and with it my frustration diminished .
Later she told me that she is going to a psychologist who is helping her a lot and for my part I try to talk to her , but more importantly to listen to her , be empathetic and find support and identification with me in order to see that everything has a solution .
Approach
This tool allowed me to see the cause of the problem and I can even say that it made me more empathetic by being able to understand what was happening . I can affirm that the implementation of the tool benefited us because in the following weeks we have seen an increase in our tips and my partner looks happier , but what could change is that this was not only between the two but also expanded it with my boss as one motivation towards everyone , where the entire work circle comes together and we flow together .

Challenge The challenge I would like to deal with is “ nullify electricity cost ” for residential customers by means of disruptive business model innovation .
Today the classic business model of utilities is producing electricity by means of power plant and sell it to final customers , with an average cost of 0,21c€/kWh in EU-281 and 12,75c$ in US2 , that became an average bill of 78,75€/month / household in EU-28 and 114,03$/month / household in US .
Today , thanks to renewable energies technologies and innovative business model , “ consumers ” are becoming more and more “ prosumer ” , so a consumer that consume and produce electricity at the same time : this change of paradigm is leading to a new era of distributed generation . In order to complete this shift from centralized from distributed generation , it has to faces numerous challenges , both technical ( smart grid , security , safety … ) and legislative ( the sector is very regulated ): at that point , also thanks the decreasing cost of technologies , the cost for electricity will decrease a lot but will never be “ 0 ” : there will always be someone paid for producing it and someone paying for using it .
The idea is possible , let ’s see for example what happened in television sector in 90 ’s : some TV were “ free ” ( but they charged you of a lot of advertisement ) while other have a subscription fee but they were totally advertising - free . And this simple business model apply today to many other sector ( apps , newspaper , blog , games … . ) .
How we can apply different business model to the electricity sector in order to nullify the cost for house owner customers , taking advantage from modern trends and technologies ( AI , big data , social network ?
Selection I decided to select visualization tools because it allows to do inductive reasoning and to enlarge boundaries of our thinking . Actually , visualization is a good tool for dealing with complex problem , where solution are not univocal and where creativity is necessary . This approach can range from simple sketching to using photography but the idea is always the same : visualization activate visual thinking and unlock a different part of our brain ( the left one ) , allowing it to create ideas that still not exist yet . Finally , visualization allow to better communicate an idea and to have a common understanding of the problem .
Application Among the visualization tool , I preferred the sketching techniques associated to pictures : I find it very useful in order to create a common understanding and a starting common ground for thinking . In this case I started sketching different type of “ house owner customers ” ( family , single , elderly people … ) coupling them with a photography . Then , I submit my initial sketch to teammates and I asked them to draw the place in which they live ( their house ) and make then a “ circle ” around every place / customers . Then I asked them to draw around the circle which external subjects they are in relation with ( or could be in relation ) because of thatplace ( companies providing services , company where they bought goods ,
1 http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Energy_price_statistics 2 https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.cfm?t=epmt_5_6_a
administration ) and to connect them with arrows , indicating the monetary flow for the service / tool / data they could buy or sell ( or the possible one if the relationship is not yet present ) .
Insight The result of the experiment were exceptional because allow to generate new ideas about possible relationship between house owner and external subjects . The map generated allowed first of all to clustering different type of customers and their consumption ( single , family , student , elderly people ) and then to see , for each of them , which relationship could be create value for finding the new business model and move the cost of electricity from house owner to another subject ( interested in selling a service or to buy some data , time … )

### Input: Example Reflection - Visualization
Challenge The challenge I would like to deal with is “ nullify electricity cost ” for residential customers by means of disruptive business model innovation .
Today the classic business model of utilities is producing electricity by means of power plant and sell it to final customers , with an average cost of 0,21c€/kWh in EU-281 and 12,75c$ in US2 , that became an average bill of 78,75€/month / household in EU-28 and 114,03$/month / household in US .
Today , thanks to renewable energies technologies and innovative business model , “ consumers ” are becoming more and more “ prosumer ” , so a consumer that consume and produce electricity at the same time : this change of paradigm is leading to a new era of distributed generation . In order to complete this shift from centralized from distributed generation , it has to faces numerous challenges , both technical ( smart grid , security , safety … ) and legislative ( the sector is very regulated ): at that point , also thanks the decreasing cost of technologies , the cost for electricity will decrease a lot but will never be “ 0 ” : there will always be someone paid for producing it and someone paying for using it .
The idea is possible , let ’s see for example what happened in television sector in 90 ’s : some TV were “ free ” ( but they charged you of a lot of advertisement ) while other have a subscription fee but they were totally advertising - free . And this simple business model apply today to many other sector ( apps , newspaper , blog , games … . ) .
How we can apply different business model to the electricity sector in order to nullify the cost for house owner customers , taking advantage from modern trends and technologies ( AI , big data , social network ?
Selection I decided to select visualization tools because it allows to do inductive reasoning and to enlarge boundaries of our thinking . Actually , visualization is a good tool for dealing with complex problem , where solution are not univocal and where creativity is necessary . This approach can range from simple sketching to using photography but the idea is always the same : visualization activate visual thinking and unlock a different part of our brain ( the left one ) , allowing it to create ideas that still not exist yet . Finally , visualization allow to better communicate an idea and to have a common understanding of the problem .
Application Among the visualization tool , I preferred the sketching techniques associated to pictures : I find it very useful in order to create a common understanding and a starting common ground for thinking . In this case I started sketching different type of “ house owner customers ” ( family , single , elderly people … ) coupling them with a photography . Then , I submit my initial sketch to teammates and I asked them to draw the place in which they live ( their house ) and make then a “ circle ” around every place / customers . Then I asked them to draw around the circle which external subjects they are in relation with ( or could be in relation ) because of thatplace ( companies providing services , company where they bought goods ,

administration ) and to connect them with arrows , indicating the monetary flow for the service / tool / data they could buy or sell ( or the possible one if the relationship is not yet present ) .
Insight The result of the experiment were exceptional because allow to generate new ideas about possible relationship between house owner and external subjects . The map generated allowed first of all to clustering different type of customers and their consumption ( single , family , student , elderly people ) and then to see , for each of them , which relationship could be create value for finding the new business model and move the cost of electricity from house owner to another subject ( interested in selling a service or to buy some data , time … )
Approach An alternative approach for reaching the same results would have been “ the journey mapping ” . Journey mapping would have allowed to assess the existing experience through the customer ’s eyes . If the previous experiment was spatially focused ( on what happens in “ house ” , the place where electricity is consumed ) , journey mapping could have explored customers ’ relationship along the day and in different times : actually , there is no reason for thinking that value has to be connected only to the house but could be found in another moment and used for reach the same objective .

As part of buying health insurance , the small businesses have to upload documents which verify the company and the employees . We were seeing a large number of 1 ) incorrect documents there were uploaded ( ex . instead of state certified payroll proof they were uploading an excel sheet ) 2 ) wrong quarter or year for the documents 3 ) not all employees and owners were in the documents . This led to back - and - forth between us and the customer , which overall delayed the process and made it a bad customer experience . This also led to higher operations cost for us .
Selection : Given that we had over 87 different types of documents , we wanted to experiment with a few different solutions before implementing a larger solution . I decided to use Learning Launch to experiment with a few different solutions the cross - functional team identified as part of the “ what if ” state of the design thinking process . The goal was to find the best self - service solution which would enable the customer to upload the correct document with all the information required . This would decrease the time to get the health insurance and decrease our operations cost .
Application : Our hypothesis was that if we were to give a sample document , the timeframe of the document and a confirmation modal to ensure all employees are listed , users will upload the correct document .
I decided to experiment with just 2 different documents ( instead of 87 types ) to learn quickly . The design team quickly put together a mini - document - upload flow . This had a sample document type , instead of saying last 2 years or last quarter , we clearly displayed the years . Example : we displayed April - June 2017 . We also had a confirmation box that prompted the user to confirm all employees are listed .
This was all developed in less than 2 weeks and launched as an A / B test . This was the quickest way to ensure our hypothesis was tested . I also identified that if this hypothesis would work , we would work on building the mini flow for all the different types of documents .
After running the experiment for a week , we saw a 93 % decrease in incorrect documents that were uploaded . It was evident that our hypothesis was validated . We then expanded the solution to the remaining document types .
Insight : The insight here was that the Learning Launch is a power tool to quickly experiment with different hypothesis without investing a lot in design and engineering . A clear hypothesis really helps guide
the experiment . It is also important to identify the next steps in case the hypothesis fails or is confirmed to align the teams .
Approach : Overall Learning Launch was a powerful tool for us to test hypothesis . As a retrospective , I would have broken the test further and tested sample document , displaying the dates and the employee confirmation modal separately . This would have clearly signaled which solution had the biggest impact .

Challenge
When I was at the university , I participated in an entrepreneurial fair with a team of other 3 students , and the challenge was to create a new , innovative product or service that satisfy an existing need in the society . This was a very big challenge for me and my teammates due to the importance of the fair , because if we won that fair , we get funded by the university to implement the idea . Additionally , it was a challenge because we got a very restricted timeframe to do this ( approximately 2 - 3 months ) and we had to have a finished product / service almost ready to scale it . Also , part of the challenge was that we were industrial engineering students and we were taught about doing a business case and using a lot of data to develop new ideas and to decide if an idea was good , so thinking differently ( with a Design Thinking approach ) was a big challenge for me .
Selection
After doing a proper research of different groups of people in our university and city , and understanding what was their true needs and desires , we come out with an innovative hygiene product that we thought it would satisfy the needs of an specific group of the population that has a specific need . This specific group of the population was suffering all their lives about a problem ( excessive sweating ) , but there was no product in the market that helped them in a proper way against this issue . So , instead of doing financial projections and trying to meet a return rate , we decided we need to test the idea doing experiments .
We decided to do a learning launch to learn about our idea and to see how the customers react to it . Also , we selected a learning launch because it was a fast and cheap way of testing our idea in the field , and the best way we can truly learn how the potential customers interact with the product . At the same time , we select doing a learning launch to truly accomplish the challenge and create a product that truly satisfy a real need and not a fake need . It is like what it was explained in “ the IBM story ” were their team experiment their new way of doing a trade show in “ Sibos ” in Amsterdam . In this case , we experiment the prototype of our product in supermarkets to learn from it and to see if our assumptions were correct .
Application
After deciding that we wanted to do a learning launch we contacted 4 big supermarkets in our city , and we tell them our idea and explained them what kind of experiment we were planning to do . They were excited about our new product and accept the idea of doing the learning launch in their facilities . The learning launch consisted on showing the prototypes of the new product in the hygiene aisle of the healthcare / hygiene sector of the supermarkets , with us promoting it and talking with the potential customers , explaining the benefits and the way of using the product , and showing an example of how the product works . We conduct this experiment during the peak hours on weekends to try to learn the most about it .
The learning launch was implemented effectively because we could hear what customers thought about our product and we could prove the assumptions we had ( that there was an unsatisfied need in people with excessive sweating problem ) . At the same time , we could learn about the experiment on how customers feel about their excessive sweating problem , and how excited they feel in knowing there were a product like the one of us .
Insight
The learning launch give me an insight about the true problem of the people suffering with excessive sweating . It makes me understand the true reason why people were suffering about that issue and the true need they had in nowadays world . The learning launch also makes me understand that the best way to see if an idea is good is to test it through real experiments were customers participate , not just doing financial projections and analyzing historical data . In addition , this insight makes me think different about the challenge , by understanding that the most important thing was not winning the contest but helping the people who suffer of excessive sweating and do not know how to solve it .
Finally , Design thinking , in general , help me to think about innovation in a new completely different way . In away that I was not taught , with customer empathy . I understand that observing and listening the customer is the best way to accomplish a good innovation that really make an impact on people , instead of just imagine a profitable product without thinking about the customer .
Approach
Next time I would use the same tool ( Learning launch ) because I think it is a “ must ” when testing if an idea is good and to understand the true need of the customers . But I would do something different related to the places in which we made the learning launch . In my case , I selected 4 big supermarkets to perform the experiments , and I did not take into account that those kind of products also get sold in small corner stores /grocery stores / convenience stores and not just in big supermarkets in the city . So , through restricting the experiment to just the big supermarkets , I could miss any important insight about the customer´s problem and needs . That is why , the next time I use a Learning Launch I will stop and think with my team in which places I have to do the experiments so I can learn the most of them , instead of rushing into the first places I think are the best to make the experiments .

My class wanted to identify some of the problems faced by teenagers in the Northern parts of Kenya who are in need of completing their secondary school education but they do not have school fees . The design thinking tool that I took in place was visualization , this enabled me to get a clear understanding of the problem among the members of the community before deciding to come up with possible measures and solutions to the problem . I have frequently used this approach within our school in visualizing some of the problems teenagers face within our society today and how best the problems can be tackled when the right measures are put in place . The technique that I applied in visualization was that one of straw man , this was achieved by asking questions and observing some of the challenges teenagers were being subjected to . The main intention of this was to allow teenagers to interact freely with one another so as to identify key elements they were facing . And in so doing , straw man visualization created room in coming up with possible solutions to help teenagers from this part of Northern Kenya continue with their education .
Application
I started handling the problem by developing a straw man graphic design . This is mainly achieved by extracting information from available secondary sources such as magazines , journals and reports so as to understand the society of the Northern part of Kenya . The straw man graphic can also be achieved by ob- taining first hand information from the affected teenagers . All the teenagers are given equal opportunity of giving genuine responses on the types of challenges they are facing . This is achieved mainly by using straw man template icons and shapes found on the internet .
In carrying out this exercise , I used 50 teenagers by grouping them into 2 - 5 members . The teenagers were then issued with copies of framed straw man graphic , where I needed them to write their responses . I designed four ques- tions about the problem space : What are some of the alterations that can be made on the straw man graphic ; what components are not found on the straw man graphic ; How can the graphic be designed to cater for the problem of these teenagers , and lastly what ought to be excluded from the straw man graphic to handle the problem space . The groups were supposed to discuss the questions within 45 minutes , and come out with concrete points affecting them . After discussing they have to share their findings in posters by explaining each and every problem . Immediately after the exercise , I noted common features or in- sights within the problem space and classified them basing on their strengths and weakness . The common points identified in this problem space enabled me to come up with a new straw man graphic that included all the problems af- fecting these teenagers and try to l for a possible solution .
Approach and Insight
The most important part is the application of revision in graphic design that helps the respondents to understand what they need to tackle . This gives them a rough idea on the task that need to be done which reduces high chances of
confusion and boredom . In so doing , the information obtained from teenagers when handling the problem space is precise and accurate hence saving on time and resources that could be used to train them . The revision graphic also plays a major role in helping to identify some of the key elements that are missing in the problem space , and clearly outlines the variables which need to be added so as to tackle all the challenges within a problem space .
One of the interesting think I learned is that design thinking plays a vital role in sharing of the information needed to tackle challenges within a problem space . In my coming activities am going to apply visualization as my reference point when solving the problems faced by teenagers in our society today . The results obtained from this revision graphic will play a vital role in the upcoming study .

Challenge
I am a member of a leading MNC IT services organization ’s regional sales leadership team & my regional team`s challenge is to understand which solution to cross sell into our named farming account by a new structured and result oriented client engagement exercise in the new COVID business scenario .The project scope includes the four account managers , 12 named clients and their key stake holders ( which is usually 3 per account ) . The project is limited to cross selling 2 service lines – namely cloud based e- commerce application solution and cyber threat monitoring solution which is designed specifically to help clients in the COVID- 19 challenges . The project is targeted to be completed in one quarter ( 90 days ) within which each account manager should be able to close 4 deals . Our main drive & attention will be to get into details of technical feasibility of the solution and each of sales cycle stage with individual account manager and identify & improve his / her skills on technical sales side .
Selection
Our team has carefully evaluated the available options of design thinking activities / tools for this challenge & have concluded to attempt with the learning launch tool so as to quicken the go to market sales cycle time & sales closure timeline .
Application
To begin with we identified and picked one target account per account manager for the pilot sales closure . We chose the banking account / client which was most vulnerable to cyber threats & the retail account / client for the e commerce application solution as they would be in dire need to initiate the e- commerce platform due to restricted opening of shops due to the COVID pandemic . We started the engagement with engaging the chosen target clients on scheduled video meetings & highlighting the benefits of the solution and the clear risks they might encounter in their current business if they would not adapt to the new changing business trends . In the second engagement phase we decided to run proof of concept ( POC ) for the client ( s ) . For the first two clients we showcased them the proof of concept solution ran into technical issues which identified we were not well prepared with running successful proof of concept . We decided to run mock proof of concepts internally within the team to master the art of successful proof of concept which would compel the client to decide quickly . These mock POC sessions proved quite helpful to the account manager . In the next following POC sessions each of the account manager successfully completed the POC which helped to quicken the sales decision cycle pace by a week overall . Post the first four sales closure - one each per the four account manager engaged in the project , we invited the client stakeholder for a 15 minutes objective survey on what induced them to choose our tailored made COVID centric solution vis a vis the general solutions available in the market . We ran this survey exercise through a third party independent entity to ensure we get unbiased feedback on what we did right and also to clearly highlight the areas of improvements in the solution & also the client engagement cycle .
Insight
With opting the learning launch tool , we clearly identified our assumptions both in the solution and the engagement approach and pilot test it from all both the technical feasibility and the evolving account engagement model of seeing in the COVID scenario . The team realized which solution worked and why & associated with that the account engagement with the target key clients needed a more robust and seamless remote technical presentation . The identification of the changed client engagement norms which relied mastering the art of structured remote interactive engagement with the client to mitigate the loss of personal engagement with the client stakeholder was given in account selling . With the first four deals being closed in with the learnings well documented post discussions with the account sales managers & taking into account the independent client survey undertaken , the regional team is now quite clear in the mind on both the solution to be sold & the new engagement model in the COVID era . The ongoing incorporation of insight is particularly important at this stage , as we now plan a full rollout of the chosen solutions & the changed engagement model within the design thinking timeline .
Approach
As the regional sales team is now experienced several design thinking activities / tools and are at this stage in the timeline , the learning launch is the selected tool . The team is now completely aware which solution worked and the improvements required based on the independent client survey & the changed engagement model our account managers should inoculate in the new COVID era and its associated challenges . We plan to further improvise on the solutions offered to the clients & evolving client engagement model which will be based on learning launch tool / alternate design tool depending upon the case scenario best suited for the given challenge / time
