1 . Challenge : Describe your challenge , including all relevant information .
My challenge is writing a short text for our website about a new workshop to gather ideas with a web based innovation tool . The difficulty is not to describe how the workshop and tool work . The difficulty is to explain it in a way that is easy to read and understand for everyone and not only people dealing with the topic “ innovation ” .
2 . Selection : In your own words , briefly describe the tool you selected ( e.g. , what it is and
why you selected it for your challenge -- including any appropriate video lecture references ) .
Storytelling explains something by using easy understandable words . The topic explained is wrapped in a story , like an example , so that the targeted audience can understand and imagine it well .
http://designresearchtechniques.com/casestudies/storytelling/
I chose storytelling , because the targeted audience should be able to understand it easy and hopefully remember it long . The addressed people do often not know much about the topic innovation and especially an idea software , therefore it is essential to avoid words which need some deeper knowledge .
3 . Application : Describe how you applied the tool you selected to your challenge ( e.g. , what
you did and how the tool was applied effectively or ineffectively ) .
When I wrote my text , I tried to use simple words and always imagined how I would explain it to my grandma . Difficult was building a story , because if you have only limited space , you ca n’t go to deep into it . Therefore , I tell the reader , what happens to him during he is going through the process and let it look like he is on a “ idea ” journey .
4 . Insight : Describe the insight you gained from applying the tool you selected to your
challenge ( e.g. , how an insight affected your thinking about the challenge and about design thinking more broadly ) .
I learned , that not going into details about something and always have in mind “ your grandma ” must understand it as well , you are able to use words which make the whole text more exciting . Going into details and explain something insightfully is not always necessary , it depends on the addressed readers .
5 . Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool
you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why .
I think next time I would think first about a story of myself or some story I heard to make it more personal . Thinking too much about the process of the topic makes it difficult to even think about an appropriate story . By the way , here is my result :
Innovative and creative with „ system “ for beginners and advanced Is the right idea for new products , services or maybe a process missing ? Would you like to improve your customer experience and strengthen customer loyalty ? We take you on an exciting idea journey with a web - based tool for many new ideas . Invite your employees , partners , customers , specialists or other interested parties to this creative journey . The invitee can put in their ideas directly via computer or mobile phone . The view from different angles makes you want to find ideas and animates the creativity , which inspires the participants to always new flashes of inspiration . The result is a multitude of innovative ideas , which are evaluated , commented and discussed . In a 2 - day innovation boot camp , the most promising and exciting ideas are deepened and recombined . At the end of the workshop , the top ideas are worked out and a clear action plan is defined .

Challenge
As an employee under the Financial Planning Control Department , the challenge is to have a ready report of the appropriation of budget in each project especially those that are completed already every time the group head ask for it . When I say project , these are the renovation / relocation and construction of new branches or corporate offices . Each project has an approved / allotted budget for all the expenses to be incurred like the general construction , data communication , professional fees and FFE and a 5 % contingency .
Selection
Our team has already gone through several design thinking activities / tools , so we are ready to try the learning launch tool . Broadly speaking , the learning launch is an experiment meant to quickly test an idea and prototype
Application
For our first learning launch , we have asked our project managers / architects on the percentage of completion of all the branches / corporate site that is subject for renovation / construction or relocation . We also asked for the list of all Purchase Orders release to various vendors in connection with these projects from our PO issuance team . We wanted to see if the percentage of completion is somewhat close to the percentage of appropriation / PO issuances . This tested our assumptions that there is no ready reference for each report . Our team went through a weekly meeting and brainstorming on how we can address and solve this challenge . We went through workshops and trainings to structure a monitoring where every Project Manager can easily generate their report in a more agile way .
For our second learning launch , we focus on gaining clarity about our task . These tested our assumptions that the absence of project monitoring as a foundation for the report to be presented to the group head is the main cause of our challenge .
Insights
The learning launch tool is what our team use to construct launches to test these assumptions . Additionally , we thought through anticipated results , expecting to find that a more agile approach would improve our workflow . Our actual result is in line with what we expected , we need to have a proper monitoring that is easy to use and should always be updated . Coordination also with the various teams involve is a must . Our team will continue to evaluate this information and implement it into a new concept in the future .
Approach
As cited , our team will continue to evaluate the information and implement it into a new concept in the future . Future launch design should reflect insights gained , the progress made to achieve its full implementation .

More specifically , I recently joined the boards of two non - profit organizations for which I have or will have a fund raising role . The first board I joined supports entrepreneurs and start - ups “ from founding through funding , ” and I am a mentor to start - up companies as part of this work . The second board I joined supports a school ; starting in September , I will be leading an effort to raise money for student travel fellowships . As I joined the board , the entrepreneur support organization had just begun a $ 1 million fund raising campaign that was essential to its sustainability . Then , the COVID-19 pandemic struck . I was asked to solicit my 30 peers in the mentoring group . I would ask them to join me in donating $ 5,000 for each of the next three years . Selection The tool I chose was storytelling , and this pre - dated my having begun this design thinking class . I chose storytelling because I would be asking people for money in a frightening economic environment , and I wanted my peers to understand the “ human ” story of my commitment to the organization . In other words , I wanted the ask to be real and relatable . Application I wrote each of my peer mentors and told the story of my having been introduced to the organization through its “ pitch day ” and then becoming a mentor , donor , and board member . Following my message , a founder / fellow board member “ piled on ” with a follow - up email . The messages also included specifics about all the great work we ’ve been doing . We received some responses right away , and while these typically included an enthusiastic message about the organization , nearly none included a commitment of money . We followed up with reminder emails . Responses that came in the next week or two were similar . In two or three cases , there was no response , even as ( a few weeks later ) we successfully wound up the campaign of which my “ mentor ask ” was a part . We raised a small amount – not the money we hoped ! We suspected that some mentors were in no position to commit , but we did not leave anyone out . We worried that the message was off , but we got no feedback to this effect . I spoke to one of the younger mentors whom I knew was between jobs ; she thought my story was effective and the overall messaging strong . Insight While the storytelling tool was used effectively , this was inserted into an existing process that had not been conceived using design thinking . Notwithstanding , our efforts were probably an
example of rapid prototyping . The fund - raising campaign would have benefitted from a design thinking process that started at the beginning . Approach Both this fund - raising campaign and the effort I will lead in September ( for the school ’s traveling fellowships ) would benefit by starting at the beginning of a design thinking process with ethnography / journey mapping . Simply , we need to understand our prospective donors ( customers ) better . As well , the “ What If ” part of the process could prove highly valuable for the school ’s campaign . For both organizations I serve , storytelling is essential and potentially persuasive to donors . In one case , there is rich material in the entrepreneurs ’ stories , and in the other , the student travelers ’ stories can potentially make the campaign more relatable .

Challenge & Selection
As a new team lead of IT Company , I have to manage a team of 12 members . I am the responsible person for their deliverables and their wellbeing as well . After taking position to lead team , I have observed that team members have limited knowledge and lack of motivation is the issue here . This affecting the deliverables as well and client are also not happy with the deliverables .
Then I decided to increase their performance at work not by forcing them to work for more time but to excel in what they are doing and to make them understand where they were lagging behind . Change in work sharing pattern also needed to fix the issue . So I thought of using the visualization tool here to make them understand about the problem of the current situation and to find solution .
Application
Initially I started this by creating the present process flow of the current working pattern with sketches and after that I encouraged them to comment on it . I have asked them to write their comments by asking a single question like " Review yourself each process step and think what we can change here to make it better " . I have not only involved the team members but the client as well to make the work process better .
I thought it really works as using visualization is better than directly asking question “ what can we do to make the things better ? ” And I have also initiated knowledge transfer sessions once per week which are not just about giving relevant information but by making the others to feel it more live by showing the images . And Of course , Power point presentations also used which are the most common visualization tools in IT Industry .
I have motivated team to use visual thinking effectively as it would make us the best in learning and remembering new technical things . I have explained them with an example to visualize transferring data as packets moving inside cable when they are travelling from peer to peer .
Insight & Approach
Here by using visualization tool , I made team members to understand about current situation of the problem . Not just understanding but their participation in solving the issue . Based on over all comments and feedback , we had come up with new changed process .
I understood that visual thinking approach not only changed their way of looking at the technology , it also helped them to excel at their work and strengthen knowledge . Definitely I and my team members are going to use visual thinking to get more insight for the future problems and for their solutions .

The challenge I would like to take up for this assignment is a personal one . I have been working on starting my own YouTube channel for quite some time now as I am interested in digital content creation . For the same reason , I pursued Bachelors in Media and communication . But as has also been stated in the Design Thinking for Innovation course we live in a world which has too much information , too much data , too many websites , too many people , too many opinions and so on . That makes up the case for “ What is ? ” In this case . Since that is the reality of the present world , I am personally trying to find my own Unique Selling Point as to what would be the selling point of my content . The challenge is to find out possibilities via “ What if ? ” and then narrowing it down to What wows and eventually what works .
Selection
From my learnings in this course the tool I feel that suits my challenge the best would be Learning Launch since I have already thought a few things along the line of What if ? And explored certain possibilities . A few of them are short films , travel vlogging , documentary filmmaking and stand - up comedy .
Application
Why I picked the design tool of learning launch is simply because it means to conduct a small experiment that tests your new idea in the real marketplace . And through reflecting on my idea I have concluded that it has been long that the idea of generating content on my YouTube channel has been stuck on paper and in blueprints for too long . And in that time , I have mastered enough skills and created content like short films , documentaries , my stand - up act and a few travel vlogs . The application of learning launch here would be to get this content off the shelf , for now , it has been on the shelf for too long and post these different kinds of content on the web and gather insights on what wows with the audience and what works .
Insight and Approach
My most profound insights from the course and above exercise are as follows :
Opportunity favours only the prepared mind . The most fundamental natural law of innovation is that the only certainty is uncertainty . The pursuit of innovation is inherently messy and inefficient . Unlike execution ,
exploration is a high variance activity .
The above insights have changed the trajectory of my approach towards my final project forever . By applying the design tool of learning launch now I am more inclined towards cheap and fast experimentation with my content . I have realised that diligently experimenting and failing fast at too many projects is better than sticking to one for too long , as it increases the rate of your success . And failing is nothing but a learning experience . Keeping the same in mind I have decided to table my contents on the web to see what gathers views and what does not . Because that ’s the only way to find out what really works . On the end note I just want to say that criticism is nothing but an opportunity to improve .

The challenge is to find out possibilities via “ What if ? ” and then narrowing it down to What wows and eventually what works .
Selection
From my learnings in this course the tool I feel that suits my challenge the best would be Learning Launch since I have already thought a few things along the line of What if ? And explored certain possibilities . A few of them are short films , travel vlogging , documentary filmmaking and stand - up comedy .
Application
Why I picked the design tool of learning launch is simply because it means to conduct a small experiment that tests your new idea in the real marketplace . And through reflecting on my idea I have concluded that it has been long that the idea of generating content on my YouTube channel has been stuck on paper and in blueprints for too long . And in that time , I have mastered enough skills and created content like short films , documentaries , my stand - up act and a few travel vlogs . The application of learning launch here would be to get this content off the shelf , for now , it has been on the shelf for too long and post these different kinds of content on the web and gather insights on what wows with the audience and what works .
Insight and Approach
My most profound insights from the course and above exercise are as follows :
Opportunity favours only the prepared mind . The most fundamental natural law of innovation is that the only certainty is uncertainty . The pursuit of innovation is inherently messy and inefficient . Unlike execution ,
exploration is a high variance activity .
The above insights have changed the trajectory of my approach towards my final project forever . By applying the design tool of learning launch now I am more inclined towards cheap and fast experimentation with my content . I have realised that diligently experimenting and failing fast at too many projects is better than sticking to one for too long , as it increases the rate of your success . And failing is nothing but a learning experience . Keeping the same in mind I have decided to table my contents on the web to see what gathers views and what does not . Because that ’s the only way to find out what really works . On the end note I just want to say that criticism is nothing but an opportunity to improve .

Challenge & Selection
I will use the mind mapping tool in problem - based questions In Math . The challenge that I am facing is how to train the students in applying this technique , and how to help the students in arranging their ideas using key concepts , graphs and connections between them to visualize their thinking . I am using this tool in my online Math classes among my students .
How you Mind Mapping works ?
to have a closer look at how this tool is working , kindly see the link below :
https://youtu.be/xCyjFipytRE
Application
Working in an online environment can be challenging to both teachers and students . This is why I am planning to apply the following techniques to train my students to use the Mind Mapping tool :
1 . Understanding the meaning of the question , students will find the core words and known
conditions and implied conditions in the title as a branch of the graph , and simplify the whole topic into a clear picture , provide a concise and clear environment . So , Construct a Review Map
2 . Creating possible solving ideas map , students will formulate a scientific and reasonable
solution plan . So , construct a problem - solving ideas map .
3 . Building a reflection map that consists of reflecting both review map and solutions ’ ideas
map . Students will sum up the necessary knowledge points and ideas and strive to be able infer the ability to solve problems .
Insight
Mind mapping tool helped students in clearing their thinking . It also helped in giving
them deeper understanding of the topic given . It promoted the way of solving question . Mind map helps in brainstorming of ideas between students ; thus , it encourages collaborative work , secure communications and passing of ideas between participants . Students who used this tool had better memory retention and became faster in taking notes . Because of brainstorming sessions , creative ideas are presented , and accordingly cognitive skills of students are promoted .
Approach more effective
Visual representation of any mind map tool affects in attracting or not attracting students . Using different colors to represent the map can help the student . To spur creative thinking , students are advised to include images and symbols in their map .
To build a mind map , we need to perform the following steps : Step 1 : Write the name of the topic ( central idea ) in the middle . Step 2 : From the central topic , draw the main branches that link the topics . On each main branch writing a word , the phrase reflects an essential content of the topic .
Step 3 : From each main branch , draw additional branches ( sub - branch 1 ) to clarify that main branch . Step 4 , 5 Continue drawing branches level 2 , 3 etc .

I work advising large energy projects , which normally take place in areas with communities with social and economic disadvantages . Many of these communities deal with many daily problems that most people take for granted , in all aspects , and therefore it is very important to generate inspiration and motivation in their lives . I spend a lot of time with people and researching for ways to understand their situations in order to find optimal and real solutions . When I work with these communities , we share stories . This allows them to share their concerns with my team and with me , and thus give us their real experiences that help us generate better ideas for possible solutions . With my energy clients , I share these stories that I have accumulated during my life to help them visualize that their contribution in a community can be greater and better than expected by any other stakeholder . I use the stories to determine their lines of action and objectives , and sometimes we use stories to better understand their interests and thought processes . This is a good way to obtain information to develop different strategies to approach communities , understand their interests and needs , and propose viable options . Application I have a story about the use of Storytelling . During 2018 , I was in charge of leading a private sector initiative , in order to identify business needs and barriers to the implementation of solutions related to energy and energy efficiency . During this work , I could observe the different corporate cultures that exist and how it is necessary for each organization to execute a diagnosis to fully understand their needs , but there was no real commitment on the part of the participants to perform the self- assessments that allow us advance with the dynamics of the workshop . I told a story about some communities in the Amazon that had the same problem , did not find the motivation necessary to generate a change in attitude that would allow them to fully understand all their problems . The difference is that the communities depended on this change so that their culture , ancestral knowledge , rites , ideology can be preserved and saved .

It 's common in the business world that when an idea arises the following thing to do is a business plan , but frankly this traditional approach it 's not the right one to do as Herbert Heinze explains . So what is the right thing to do ? As I have learned throughout this course going directly into numbers wo n't necessarily give you the outcome you ’re looking for , it will be more likely to go for a plan that includes human - centered solutions , that is possibility driven , and finally is optioned - focused .
In the Learning Launch Tool when an idea arises it should be followed by an experiment that is somewhat fast and cheap and secure that would test your hypothesis . Your experimentation process must be fast because you do n't have a lot of time and it must be cheap because you ’re trying to find different solutions and various ways to make your idea possible ; learning launches need to be performed quickly since you also need to have contact and communication with customers .
The next step for the learning launch tool is to find the specific person and your specific need , and that the idea meets the needs of the consumers . The purpose of this step is not to prove that your idea is smart , it is to prove that your idea will confirm or disconfirm your assumptions and the hypothesis you made in the first instance , but most importantly is that you feel truthful about your idea and that this idea will truly satisfy your consumers . And the last step would be to know that failure is part of the process and that it will happen , failure is learning .
I selected The Learning launch tool because to me it was so fascinating to learn about , and as the professor mentioned in the lecture that this was n’t exactly like the scientific method , but honestly , I thought it had some similarities , and also may I add I found it more helpful , innovative and smart . To me it also felt like it was “ the scientific method ” of design thinking for innovation , yes it has steps to follow but it also makes sure that it has experimenting , communication , and a new way to design ideas and solutions .
I have n't had the opportunity to use this tool in the work area or even at school , but in my day - to - day life , I ’ve had . Since the day I took the lecture it made me think differently and process information to create solutions more smartly . And I had the opportunity to implement some day - to - day really easy activities at home like moving around some boxes and organizing really small spaces .
The step of the learning launch tool that made a huge impact on myself and in how I face different challenges and situations is the experimentation step , you have to think quick and cheap . We do n't have all the time to sit down and think of a hundred solutions for a problem that may be solved with only three , and in those three maybe you will fail , and that is okay because failure is learning . For sure when I go back to school and have a lot of projects and homework to do I will have a different approach to the problems and how to think smartly to have a solution .

I am working for an international chemical company , as sales coordinator , our main task is increase sales but our bigger challenge is to improve the coordination for all activities of the stakeholders ( production , marketing , supply chain , technology , legal sales resp . customers , distributors , logistic , etc … . ) within the larger organization and departments , we are kind of interfaces and decisions approvers . Like in every large company , one of the most consuming energy and killer motivation is complexity in processes . Process are supposed to help improve efficiency but they can quickly get out of control , I am very lucky to be part of a very diversity team and I love the change to work in a very international environment but so many different cultures dealing with so many complex process and different cultural customers can lead to many intern conflicts .
I have chosen Mind Mapping tool , because I think it is a very powerful tool for a high performance culture for a long term success , we need to take advance for the very diversity environment we are working with , be open to new ideas and hungry for progress , our job requires paying attention to what customers want and need but also it requires improving operation processes . This tool is the step to stablish the criteria for generating a lots of ideas to lead to more creative solutions and transform them into something tangible . This tool supports the process of innovation .
Application
We are struggling with lot problems , as result of a couple of different factors that happened at the same time ; productions technical problems , the biggest wave of high demand of our products , a lot of new projects started and more … We have to learn how to deal with this new situation where our capacities were not enough to cover the demand . This provoked a bottle neck in almost our production lines . We focused first on putting out fires , improvising solutions to the customer needs , giving priority to bigger customers , etc … . this situation generated a lot of extra workflow , trying to fit demand , generating forecast and matching them with production capacities , backlogs on deliveries that have a snow ball effect . This situation generated also a lot of intern conflict , conflicts of interest from the different business units , market segments and also a lot of frustrations and demotivation from every stakeholder envolved .
After collecting a lot of information and quantitative dates , and also dates about people , about ther feelings , their frustrations , the task and the rolls all have within the organization . We will start to use this material to understand situation to generate solutions we need . we will go some through workshops from all the stackeholders ( 15 people ) , the purpose of this workshops is to gain clarity about the priorities and needs , focus on how to process all in a better way that able us to pro act quickly instead of post acing , they have to take notes on all process and datas and note what fits what not or what could help . I will use some question , like what you would do if you were a programmer ? How the needs of customers will help us to make decisions ? What information you think you will need to plan the productions ? How information about customer ’s needs and business strategies will help you to make decisions ? What information do you need to know to know what product should be produced first , more or reduce … . ? What you would do to provide a better service and optimize the production at the same time . ?
Insight and Approach
What I expect is that this helps to align the organitation around a commun understanding of the problem and share insights and learning from the problems other are facing . I think by applying the mind mapping our team will identify process that can be improve and what is our contribution to work together aligning interests .
This course of desing thinking will make us to rethink the way we are working and innovate how we frame problems in a way we are not only solving them but also it gives us an opportunity to adding value at what we do and offer . It would trigger our intern motivation to face new situations reforce our confidence and why not make us even better persons . What I really like is that the course invite us to a deep reflection on how to improve in any aspect of my life . I am very thankful for giving me the opportnitiy to re - invating my creativity

Being an MBA student , I deal with a huge amount of
information on a daily basis . Some are new concepts being
introduced , some are large , mandatory topics that I need to
master ; but most of the information comes in a non - organized ,
non - structured way , making it harder for me and everyone else
to absorbe and utilize it . So the way I ’d phrase the challenge
would be : how can we improve work and study by structuring
information we handle in a simple , yet meaningful way , so we
can quickly have an outline on what it ’s about and visualize the
hierarchy and relationship of its topics ?
Mind Mapping as the tool of choice
So in order to have an answer to that challenge , I have chosen to
apply the Mind Mapping tool . A mind map can be used to
represent a subject or an idea , structuring the information in a
map - like view . The topic is placed at center of the map ( its
starting point ) and then the concepts and details , are connected
in a logic , hierarchical way . For example :
The example map above quickly informs the reader about what
the topic is ( types of social networks ) , what are the categories
and sub - categories ( gaming , photography , … ) and what are some
items within those categories ( the social networks like
Facebook , Twitter , etc ) .
Application and insights
So after learning about the Mind Mapping tool , I started
creating maps at work and also for my MBA course . My insight
was that the tasks or assignments we execute are usually really
repetition of something already done in the past . However ,
although they ’re known , they are also too big or too complex for
us to rely only on our memories . Here ’s where the mind
mapping helps a lot .
The two below are some examples where I ’m applying the mind
mapping :
• Starting a new project : using a mind map to
organize the dozens of things that a project manager
has to coordinate has greatly facilitated my work . Every
project basically contains the same items : scope ( what ’s
in , what ’s out ) , timeline ( dates , milestones ) , costs ,
resources ( people , equipments ) , risks and assumptions .
• Learning a new subject : to me , the hardest part of
learning a new subject , is visualizing how big it is and
how its concepts and details are interconnected .
Creating a mind map had a vast positive impact on my
study because I can , as I read through the pages , create
the visual map representation of the subject .
Final considerations
As I reap the benefits of mind maps for both work and study , I
definitely intent to continue using the tool . I have identified
some pitfalls , though . Something I learned in these few weeks is
that the map itself can oversimplify an idea , only scratching its
surface and therefore not including important details . You have
to learn to find the right granularity for the information you ’re
mapping . And another potential problem is that , although there
are the “ roads ” connecting your central subject and its concepts
and specifics , unless you create a narrative , it will be hard to
make sense of what you ’re trying to learn / understand . Create a
story in your head that has a beginning , a development and an
ending , so it ’s all cohesively tied together and engraved in your
head .

The tool I am going to use is learning launch . A learning launch is a carefully designed experiment or prototype designed to test the key underlying value- generating assumptions of a potential new growth . I am a chemist wholesaler and an expertise in marketing techniques . My challenge is to launch a new product of my own in order to improve my income . My daily income is not as much as contributing as it should be despite of all hard work and time dedication . The project scope includes marketing research , customer need , offers and schemes to make the sales of the product . The time period of 60 days has been kept as a benchmark to determine the compatibility of the product into the market . The main motive is to make the product more long lasting and to increase sales .
Selection
I have already gone through several design thinking tools/ techniques i.e. manufacturing and packaging of product . Thus , the learning launch is an experiment meant to quickly test the prototype .
Application
First of all , I have decided to provide schemes and offers to fascinate our product . This includes as follows- A ) On purchase of one box , one blanket will be free . B ) Cancelling payments of debtors up to Fifty thousand rupees and supplying them with this product . C ) Rewarding the person who is making sales of 30 boxes per month . So , these were some of the ways in order to induce the sales of the product . The objective of increasing sales can only be increased by making the product distinguishable from that of the competitors . This can be only possible by marketing efficiently and satisfying the customer needs . So , the marketing strategy is to influence major groups i.e. retailers , medical representatives ( MRs ) , business partners , friends and some clients of reputed companies . Additionally ,
advertising was done by articles in newspapers . Hence , in this way some assumptions relating to the launch of the product was done .
For our second learning launch , a survey was conducted by touring once a week to sell the item at doorstep individually . Also , to review about the sales target customers have done in a week and to inquire about their opinions .
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool , it was identified that my product was able to stand in the market and also increased the income by 8 % which is fairly acceptable . Additionally , we thought through anticipated results , that there would be more demand of the product as it was manufactured by leading company and the target customers will appreciate the incentives offered . Our actual results were slightly different from anticipated results in a way that there was lack of communication between the target consumers and me ( the owner ) itself . Also , there was insufficient manpower to conduct the marketing process effectively . Besides , advertising was not done properly due to lack of sufficient money which created unawareness among the local people . Moving forward , I would like to conclude that the above reasons led to the some failures in this learning launch but can be rectified with small initiatives to make it an accomplished one .
Approach
As previously mentioned , there is a need to rephrase some techniques and enhance the earlier ones so as to generate more sales and create the monopoly of the product with the help of learning launch .

Challenge & Selection
The challenge consisted of successfully conducting a productivity workshop covering a process chain in supply chain operations . Invited to the workshop were the department head , several managers , a supervisor , 4 ground level staff operators and an assistant for taking notes and summarizing agreed action items . The workshop was run by a process improvement specialist .
All participants fulfill different roles and functions within the organization and therefore have very different points of view as well as assumptions and expectations on where the “ pain areas ” were located along the value chain . In order to provide a common understanding and underlying common subject matter for all stakeholders we chose to map out the existing process and value chain and therefore chose visualization as a tool during the workshop . Once the process was visualized everyone was clear about which process or sub - process in the chain we were talking about which avoided confusion or lengthy discussions and explanations .
Application
We started the process as a team by going through the process chain step by step . At first we defined the start and end point of the process we were trying to improve . In between the start and end point we mapped out each individual sub - step in detail and everything was put up on a wall for everyone to see . Once all process steps were mapped out each individual team member was asked to write down on post- it notes the individual “ pain points ” pertaining to a particular step in the chain . These were individual steps that from their point of view were not conducted in an ideal fashion and wasteful . The post - it notes were then put up on the wall as well and pinned to the appropriate step of the chain . This part of the exercise was done individually and in quiet so to avoid louder or more authoritative participants to overpower quieter participants . The goal was to have everyone ’s opinion up on the wall .
Insight & Approach
Through applying the visualization technique it was very easy to see as a result that the perceived pain areas all concentrated around a particular set of process steps . This meant that very quickly the workshop group was able to move on and focus on these specific items without much discussion or argument . It also enabled team members who were not very familiar with the pain areas to quickly learn more about the issues that the other contributors were facing in that area . As a next step mind brainstorming and mind mapping was used as a technique to identify practical solutions to the pain points defined earlier . The visualization technique definitely helped to facilitate a focused team effort and will definitely be used again for the next workshop .

As a Professional , working in a Government hospital with the regular position in accounting office a lot of works that are needed to finished .

Visualization tool is the process of imagining images . Here it is explained that this is not just drawing but visual thinking which generates other knowledge to help solve the problem . With its help it is easier to understand the meaning of the speaker says or what he / she want . I use this tool because I 'm familiar with using it and ever since it 's really what I use especially during my College day . And for me it 's easier to use because even if I do n't know how to draw , there is another way for me to use it as long as I have difficulty , I just practice ” . And that ’s Angela Myer said “ Visualization is n't really about drawing , though . It 's actually about visual thinking , and we all do it . What I 've seen is that through practice , you can actually get better and better at doing it ” .
With the visualization tool my job is easier . And because I 'm focusing on checking and preparation of the employees ' payroll , I need to visualize first and for me to finish it before the deadline . And for remittances , I sketched the flow , needed documents and timeline so that I could do it early and to avoid incurring a penalty .
I also realized that I can still use it in my other work or in brainstorming in my office to find out how to make our tasks easier and smoother . We can also think of a new process in our office and help not only us but other offices as well .
I love using Visualization tool but if I need another tool like Storytelling , Mind Mapping or Learning Launch tool I will not hesitate to use it especially if it will improve my work . And vice versa also if we in the office also need other tools I will immediately suggest it .

This happened in July- 2018 at one of the major supplier ’s facility where we were discussing on bringing down the manufacturing hours of a chamber . We had different stakeholders in the group from business development , quality , engineering & manufacturing etc . ,
After a long discussion for an hour of chamber manufacturing challenges , I started to draw a picture during the morning tea - break session . IT is the collective ideas from different group to create a model on how can we bring down the hours . Communication was little difficult , but the flexible manufacturing system ( FMS ) diagram which I draw with multiple rotations of the feature in it . It was well received by the whole team .
Even though it was well received by our team along with supplier , the investment of the capital equipment is very high . We were discussing for an economic solution which will be cost effective . We draw the layout of drawing on how FMS system works in sequence . This gave an idea of using a rotational table outside the machine as a temporary solution . This will reduce the non - value added hours in the chamber manufacturing which was our goal to achieve at the end .
I learnt that sharing valuable inputs from multiple group and putting it in a flow will give a clear glimpse for everyone to understand regardless of language & region . This enables people who are shy to speak or express their ideas in english to come out of their self - complex situations and draw their views in an appropriate place . Collective feedback gain new insights in problem solving .

Challenge and Selection
Storytelling is a great tool I use most of the time especially during my church activity every Sunday . I ’m an officer in our church who is responsible in taking care of our brethren ages 6 to 12 years old . Our main goal is to teach and guide them to be a responsible human being inside and outside of their home . As their “ kuya ’s ” and “ ate ’s ” we engage ourselves like part of their family as we want them to be more open when it comes to their emotional and spiritual needs . Storytelling is one of the tools we are using to determine their needs . At first , these young children have difficulty expressing themselves and it ’s also hard for us to understand their thoughts . Hence , a lot of efforts we are exerting before we can finally adopt the environment and the way they express their emotions . It ’s a bit challenging since these young children usually do n’t have the vocabulary to talk about how they are feeling . Instead , they communicate their feelings in other ways . Kids can express their feelings through facial expressions , through their body , their behavior and play . Sometimes they may act their feelings in physical , inappropriate or problematic ways .
Application
Before we fully use this tool in our organization , the committee where I belong discussed the possible scenario and problems we may encounter on the process . The group seems to disagree with the idea I ’m proposing since handling these young kids will take a lot of efforts and responsibilities . I told a story to the committee group about my nephew who is very joyful and loud . One time during our family reunion , you can see him at the center of the crowd giving laughter and entertainment to his cousins , uncles and aunts . However , I saw him at the corner of the party hall later that night and saw a sorrow on his face . I asked him what is his problem since earlier that day he was so energetic . At first , he is hesitant to tell me his problem but I convince him to open up by telling a story about my problem when I was in his age . He told me that night that he is currently facing depression because his parents are very demanding and strict on every action he made . He was also pressured to be the valedictorian on his class as both his parents were graduated in primary school with flying colors .
Insight and Approach
Surprisingly , I can not imagine that his jolly and energetic actions in front of everybody hides negative emotions such as hate , anger and sadness . I told my nephew to be open with his parents just like what I did on my early age . I was also pressured by my parents to be the best student . Being the eldest son , they made me understand that I will become the breadwinner of the family . At that early age , I was able to learned how to say no at times I felt pressured , not being rebellious . However , I start to understand on the process what they meant by saying those because they are preparing me to be a responsible son and “ kuya ” . After my story telling , I saw a light on my nephew ’s face and thought that he understands what I ’m trying to point out .
So , I told the story to the committee and I think I made an impact to my pitch . My proposal to use the storytelling tool has been reconsidered . I believe that storytelling is a powerful tool to turn the table on .
This course made me realized the importance and essence of this tool . I think I obtained new ideas that will help me to effectively execute this tool in front of someone or a bigger group .

### Input: Storytelling : Tool for Understanding Young Children Nowadays
Challenge and Selection
Storytelling is a great tool I use most of the time especially during my church activity every Sunday . I ’m an officer in our church who is responsible in taking care of our brethren ages 6 to 12 years old . Our main goal is to teach and guide them to be a responsible human being inside and outside of their home . As their “ kuya ’s ” and “ ate ’s ” we engage ourselves like part of their family as we want them to be more open when it comes to their emotional and spiritual needs . Storytelling is one of the tools we are using to determine their needs . At first , these young children have difficulty expressing themselves and it ’s also hard for us to understand their thoughts . Hence , a lot of efforts we are exerting before we can finally adopt the environment and the way they express their emotions . It ’s a bit challenging since these young children usually do n’t have the vocabulary to talk about how they are feeling . Instead , they communicate their feelings in other ways . Kids can express their feelings through facial expressions , through their body , their behavior and play . Sometimes they may act their feelings in physical , inappropriate or problematic ways .

Storytelling to Show Gaps in Our Customer Application Journey .
Challenge I am a Process Improvement Manager in a company that provides fuel credit cards . Our team 's mission is to digitally transform our customers ' journey ; specifically , the current online path that our prospects experience to apply for our cards . ( Challenge ) The problem that our leader presented was : “ 30 % of our customers apply for a fuel card online , but they are not making any transactions after they receive the card ” . Our leader asked us to improve the customer ’s usage , to increase the number of transactions by 10 % , and consequently , revenue . Also , our leader gave us 2 weeks to present a problem statement with solutions and recommendations . Selection ( Why ) Our team has already gone through several different tools to try to explain to our leaders our complex customer journey . We tried PowerPoint presentations , data analysis slides and even meetings for deep discussions . None of these techniques applied so far has been able to make our leaders understand the problem . ( What is it ) So , since Storytelling is a tool that takes the listener along on the human being journey and creates empathy , we decided to implement this tool in this project so we can create a vivid experience . Application We spent the first week doing the first steps of the Design Thinking process , at the what is phase . After doing our own research , analyzing the data , reaching out to the customers who do n’t use the cards and asking their feedback ; we found out that these customers were very frustrated with the entire customer application process . After hearing all their stories , we could synthesize every single journey into a single fictional one , recreating this experience using one of the personas we have identified . So , we scheduled a meeting with all leaders , and we started this meeting introducing them to our persona , and this persona ’s fictional business and fictional intention . Then , we opened our
projector , sharing one of our laptop screens , and we started simulating the persona ’s feelings at each step of our process . First , we did a simple research on Google “ fuel cards ” , then the persona landed into our company ’s website , then the persona followed the instructions on our website to apply for a fuel card . At each step , we shared with our leaders the feelings and thoughts of this persona , the expectations and how we failed or succeed to complete these expectations . Insight After our presentation , at the end of the simulated application process , we knew how effective this storytelling had been . Using the storytelling empathy , we could make our leaders finally understand the customer ’s perspective at each step , and possible questions that our customers can have during our process . More importantly , how we failed overall to meet our persona ’s expectations . Because of this tool and this meeting , our company now improved our vision , mission and goals for 2022 . Approach Next time , we will spend more time with our customers , listening carefully to their feedback and broaden our scope . We will do a project not only for those 30 % of our customer , but for 100 % of our customer , and how to better serve them . Using storytelling I am sure we now have a better tool to use with our leaders and share our recommendations .

Challenge : I am a rising sophomore in high school in India . Currently , I am working on a project to reduce stress and anxiety among teenage students . This project consists of technological intervention and social awareness . The social awareness is a key aspect as through explicit surveys conducted pan - India , I have found out that over a third of the population disagrees that such a thing as a mental illness occurs . It is potentially considered a taboo issue . Right now , I and my group of 4 more peers , work with a group of students educating them and allowing them to educate others about this serious issue . Further , We are building a device for proper tracking and curbing of day - to - day anxiety . Further , we also have a forum for others to anonymously talk about their problems and address them with the masses . The main goal is to make society accept that mental illnesses are experienced by many and it is normal . Then to effectively reduce this and until then help others the best way we can . Selection : Considering how widespread this issue is & how many different strands are there in the project it is easy to confuse many small details which could later prove to be important . Hence , to organize our thoughts and keep a smooth flowing of our project we have adopted the Mind - Mapping Module allowing us to be concise and to the point . Application : With the constant mapping of all possible ideas , what has been done , and what needs to be done we have been able to expand this movement of sorts . We have been partly successful in addressing this issue from all possible perceivable angles . We have had a smoother and more effective discussion . We have been able to attend more training sessions and research has had more concentrated in an in - depth way to move forward . There has been a more clear direction forward and more conscious steps have been taken to move forward . There is less wasting of time and more productivity has been observed in the group . A wider yet more concentrated approach is possible . There are clearer roles and much more activity as everyone has understood what they need to do . By mapping it out , students have been able to gain an even deeper understanding of the topic making room for more enthusiasm and innovative ideas . Insight : By applying the mind mapping tool , we have been able to reject unproductive ideas , analyze the consequences of each possible step , and keep track of all strands of the project in an easy and concise way . There has been a rather different than expected outcome though . It was identified that many possessed a shallow understanding of the project which was cleared and more enthusiasm was noticed . There was a sharp increase in the amount of productivity and all pending tasks were starting to get completed in time . Moving forward the visual representation
will most likely be incorporated in many possible projects to ensure that work is done with enthusiasm . Approach : In the coming times , this would probably be one of the first steps which would be adopted . This method would also be used to keep track of many other things including but not limited to future ideas , current projects , possible steps , current impact , and overall goal . This could also be used to judge the person ’s understanding of the topic to focus on the weak points and allowing proper comprehension of all the steps .

Challenge I work for a management consulting firm serving a universal bank . Over the past decade , our client has fought aggressively for market share , but has failed to make substantial gains . We were presented with the challenge of developing a new product to engage the underbanked population ( not server by any of its direct competitors ) . In addition to our own team , we set up a dedicated core team , and requested support from a multidisciplinary group of experts ( technology , marketing , legal , operations , etc . ) . During initial discussions with the participants we were excited to find that everyone had ideas on what product could serve the segment , but quickly realized that most of those were either copy - cats of products existing in other markets , or otherwise too centered on the technology , vs. the end - user ’s need . We needed to step back and ideate from ‘ what is ’ for our target . Selection Mind mapping , as tool involves the development of a visual representation , akin to an art gallery , were heterogeneous types of data are displayed so that participants can make connections between them and distill valuable insights . We selected mind mapping as a tool because it would an effective turn all our background research and distill i ) a common understanding of customer pain - points , ii ) identify themes and iii ) facilitate the generation of product concepts we could later test . Application Prior to the mind mapping exercise , we conducted traditional research and gathered demographic data and other statistics . With the core team , we also conducted interviews with people in the segment and a few surveys ( around the use of money and challenges people faced during the last 30 days ) . For the exercise , we printed the charts /statistics in large posters , and set them on a board as a fact base . On a different board , we selected 4 of our in - depth interviewees and printed their large photos along with their month - long journey ( money in , money out ) . On a third board we had interesting quotes from the interview /surveys printed in large font . The exercise consisted of having everyone circle this 3 pane gallery and focus on identifying pain points these segment had . They were to write down ideas as they came on post - its and place them in a fourth panel . If they saw any other similar to theirs , they were asked to place it next to it . One member of our team , stood by this wall and helped cluster post - its and keep the process running smooth . By the end of the exercise we had over 140 notes , clustered around 20 “ themes ” . Insight The mind mapping exercise was instrumental in uncovering pain - points and themes that would never come in traditional research ( e.g. people like finding money they had forgot about ) . In particular , I thought this tool was great in condensing different data types ; people clustered hard
data – like how much people spent - , with softer concepts like ‘ I am afraid of running into too much debt ’ . It also helped people see beyond their preconceptions , all the element created the mood of our target customer . Going through this process together as a team , helped make everyone feel ownership of the diagnosis , thus making the idea /concept generation phase simpler ( e.g. everyone could back their suggestions making reference to pain - points that the group , not the individual had identified ) . We continue going back again and again to this board ( which we turned into a digital file ) for inspiration and for validation of new ideas . Lastly , an interesting note to add would be that this post - it exercise helped bring out ideas from the more introverted participants . Approach As outlined above , this tool /approach provided a substantial improvement over traditional research techniques ; e.g. evaluating a laundry list of ideas vs. a set of pre - established criteria and then validating with the participants . In terms of improvements , we wished we had had the time to incorporate more of the non- traditional data type ( e.g. video from the interviews ) into the gallery . We also think we ’ll get better at the clustering part of the exercise over time .

Challenge I am a member of my organization ’s operating model transformation department and my team ’s challenge is to improve how the organization prioritizes work – to become more efficient as the corporation changes its business strategy . The entire project scope includes about 15,000 people . However , the project is limited in budget and the initial rollout will be pitched to approximately , 1,000 leaders across the organization ( and the globe ) . The rollout will not exceed 60 business days and the solution should include feedback from over 50 % of the initial population of the 1,000 participants . Our focus will be to understand which strategies the initial population consider to be the most effective with regard to our proposed prioritization workflows . Selection Our Transformation team has already gone through some design thinking activities / scoping , so we are ready to try to launch the learning activity . This launch will be the experiment that will quickly test our key prioritization concepts and help us high - grade the main prioritization initiatives . This will inform the path toward full implementation across the larger population . Application For our first learning launch , we produced several video modules . Each video delved into the various aspects of our proposed prioritization techniques , focusing on the structure , process , governance , and behaviors inherent in our proposed models . The participants had several days to watch the collection of videos at their own pace . An interactive survey section at the end of each video allowed the participants to provide feedback or submit new ideas , based on the video content and their own experience . This tested our assumption that we had not missed important aspects within our proposed prioritization models . While the survey population was not as high as we would have liked , we were able to use the feedback to improve on some of the prioritization models and were able to create a list of the most preferred prioritization techniques . For our second learning launch our team took our updated information ( from the first launch ) to conduct multiple live question and answer ( Q&A ) feedback sessions over the course of three - days . Overall , these Q&A sessions reached over 80 % of the participants . In this second session , we focused more on methodology details and discussed prioritization challenges that individual leaders were having in their teams ; challenges that had arisen since the corporate strategy change . While his learning opportunity allowed us access to a larger population , it also helped us further refine our workflows and scope of each of the high - graded prioritization techniques . Again , at the end of these Q&A sessions we had the participants take a survey , focusing on what their ‘ go - to ’ best practices were , and asked for specific examples . This allowed us to further clarify our assumptions about prioritization and helped identify some possible unforeseen challenges that could arise during the larger rollout . Insight By conducting these launches , our Transformation team were able to define our assumptions and designed multiple learning pathways to test hypotheses . Additionally , we were able to gain a broader insight into the prioritization mindset across the organization , which helped us refine our models , identify missing components , and discover some challenges that lay ahead . By pursuing this type of faceted learning approach , our Transformation team and the key stakeholders ( participants ) were open
to sharing experience and insight . Based on all the feedback , we were able to high - grade and recommend multiple prioritization models . Each model would have a specific use and would be an important prioritization process for different sets of business activities . However , the team also learned that , depending on the business function , the prioritization methodologies would need to be rolled - out according to specific guidelines – unique to certain functions . This insight will need to be incorporated into future launch designs . The next step will be to test the prioritization models within the larger population . Approach At this stage in the timeline , the learning launch appears to have been the appropriate tool . The first two learning launches have brought much insight into our prioritization design . The upcoming , larger launch design will reflect all the insight gained , will have stakeholder support , and will provide a range of prioritization processes to a much larger part of the business . Through a well - developed prioritization system , the corporation will be able to adopt its new strategy more efficiently .

1 . Challenge :
My problem starts with an ambiguous customer request . The customer would like to have a new product with better performance and lower cost . The ambiguity lies in how the customer use our product . We know , over the years , our product has been used by this customer in over 10 sites for different purposes , but the customer is unwilling to disclose the details on how they use our product and they are also unwilling to define performance specs .
Within our company , business team would not accept lower price on existing product as this will hurt our margin . The business team would also like to have a differentiating solution .
2 . Selection & Application :
I start with mind mapping tool because I wanted to understand the pain points of customer and potential innovative solutions to the pain points . I organized a meeting with our product design team , engineering team , business team and customer advocate team . We each propose potential pain points we heard about this product . We also propose ideas that address pain points . Then we grouped the pain points and ideas together , each with gaps and differentiations . We created visualized charts / cartoons to map our ideas to address the pain points and hosted an interview session with our customer . We presented our ideas to the customer and welcomed their feedback . Through several round of interviews , we were able to map out key gaps of current product and agreed on the key innovations need to be made .
The second tool I used is learning launch . Knowing it ’s very costly ( over multiple millions ) and time consuming ( over six months ) to test an idea to full scale , we aligned with customer that we would pick several applications of theirs and run pilot test . We started with internal pilot test and when results are positive , we moved to customer application site and run a larger pilot test there . If the results were negative , we analyze the pilot test and find the solutions to neutralize the negative results . We operative in Agile model and considered each learning launch ( pilot test ) as a scrum . We group with customer every two weeks to mark progress and identify gaps .
3 . Insight :
The mind mapping tool made me think more boarding on customer pain point and helped me addressed the issue with cost down . Through mind mapping , we realized the real pain point is not the cost of existing product but the shelf - life of the product being short , so the customer had to discard 20 % of the product . We addressed the matter by reformulate existing product and that really improve customer relationship .
The learning launch tool is already adopted in our industry . The major benefit I gained from the learning launch is to combine it with Agile model . By reducing the product design to small learning launches , we were able to gather data / feedback more efficiently as the stakeholder could see the improvement / gaps in shorter amount of time and focused on features changed over each scrum .
4 . Approach :
If I had to run this project a different way , I would start the mind mapping tool earlier in the process . We had identified some innovative ideas through mind mapping but had to drop them because we did not have enough time to implement .

Challenge & Selection :
Storytelling 's a fundamental part of every great brand . Every great product , every great service , every great brand has a story and that story i use to connects to the need of a person especialy if they want a natural or alternative remedies to a person do nt want to take medicine or tablets . Storytelling 's always been a part of a business . It has emotional connection , and it also has larger purpose .
Application :
I have a story about storytelling . In discussing the quality of my products starts in the farm or fields and it 's proven in their labs . And the products undergo strigent testing to ensure they always measure up to seed to seal standards and by the three pillars of their quality commitment - Sourcing , Science and Standards . I was also explaining how sometimes addressing the needs of one individual can impact everyone for the better and addressing their needs first and foremost . For example painful sore areas of the body , apply diluted essential oils with a gentle touch . Continued gentle massage for a few minutes increases the ability of the oil to be absorbed , and it penetrates deeper into the underlying tissues and then absorbs into the circulation , also through inhalation gives immediate relaxation to a person . And it turned out the whole family love the products and also they share it to others .
Insight & Approach
This is an eye - opener to them and by storytelling to others people . Now I can prepare ahead and think of stories that will assist me in presenting my ideas and best illuminate them . I have a design background it help in other area , but I ended up as an entrepreneur in business . I had no idea this would ever be considered an asset , but I am so very grateful that it is . Storytelling says it 's not about the list of things we have to do , its about connection that we give to people about a piece of information that we 're trying to share . A good story at its essence , is simply coveying a message that has logic .

Challenge & Selection
Our team consists of management , student workers , and mid - level supervisors . This dynamic team operates on a University campus , across three buildings . Not only do we face the challenge of communicating between locations , but across generations as well . With different generations all working together , the problem of communicating so everyone receives and understands the information , has become problematic with the increased usage of digital communication .
Visualization is a process that does n’t just use words or lecture but incorporates images that can allow multi- generations to see the bigger picture . It creates opportunity to use creativity that may not otherwise get tapped into . I chose visualization for the ability to reach each generation in a more natural way , that everyone can understand . Visualization also helps remove emotion , or the lack thereof , that text , email or data can not provide .
Application
During a recent staff meeting , I conducted a visual exercise that I learned during my Disney Approach to Leadership seminar , in which I asked the team to draw a picture of Mickey Mouse . I set the timer for 60 seconds and they began . At the end of the time , each team member held up their drawings . The variations of the drawings ranged from whole body , stick figure , full face , and other interpretations . We then watched a Disney tutorial on how to draw Mickey Mouse which we all followed together .
Insight & Approach
The results of this visual exercise were similar among the team . I then asked my team what they needed from me in order to have drawn Mickey correctly the first time . This opened dialog where it was determined that I did not give them enough information . In turn , I asked the team why none of them asked for clarification . The result of this discussion provided insight to both sides of the team . I found that by engaging my team in a visual exercise , it was far more effective that sending and email or printing out an instruction sheet . My team was more engaged , felt involved , and was n’t bored by the same type of lecture - style meeting . Several members of the team indicate that this was one of the best meetings they have been to and felt like the simple exercise gave them a better understanding of how to communicate more effectively .
Using this type of visualization breaks all the communication barriers by putting everyone on a level playing field . Your skill level , experience , or education does not matter in this sort of exercise . I want to incorporate visualization exercises whenever facing a challenge as it is extremely engaging and gives each team member the same opportunity to help resolve the issue at hand . Alternatively , putting the visualization exercise to the team and letting them conduct the exercise , will also provide a different approach and point of view , rather than only mine . This will also give the team a sense of empowerment while creating resolutions .

As a part of the discovery process , my team and I are required to interview employees in groups , through Focus Group Discussions . While the questions used in the process are elaborate and help uncover both breadth and depth of information , I realized that the visualization technique could help us uncover some of the unstated needs of our target audience . So our team decided to also include a visualization tool as a part of the Focus Group Discussion process .
Selection : Visualization is not so much about drawing but about ‘ visual thinking ’ . It gets better with practice and one can incorporate a variety of artfacts including colour , symbols , logos etc . in the process . It involves imagining people , places , situations and actions or movements to communicate a thought or an idea .
As taught in Video 6 of Week 1 of the Design Thinking for Business Innovation class , my team and I decided to incorporate the visualization tool as it would help us in the pattern finding process and also help evolve concepts that might not immediately seem apparent .
Application : Towards the end of the Focus Group Discussion , we split the participants into groups of 4 - 5 each and each group was given one large chart paper and multi - colored sketch pens . Using projective techniques , we then asked each group to ‘ visualize ’ their organization as a vehicle . We prompted people with questions such as – if your organization were a car , what car would it be ? What features would it have ? What would the passengers look like ? What kind of road is this car on ? Where is it coming from and where is it going to ?
The participants , in their respective groups , then drew their versions of this vehicle on the large piece of paper that was given to them and included vivid descriptions of how they visualized each of the above components . Some sample images have been reproduced below :
Insights : Through the course of the discovery phase , our objective was to gauge the ‘ as - is ’ current state of the organizational culture , and gain a deeper understanding of the strengths and weaknesses , in terms of how the employees perceived the culture of their firm .
The projective technique gave us additional firepower to validate some of our assumptions that we had about what the employees were telling us . We could identify patterns in the visuals – upward sloping roads showcasing tough times ahead , robust vehicles that signified the fact that the organization was financially stable , cues with respect to the passengers that helps us identify the kind of people who succeeded in the organization , and so on .
From the perspective of design thinking , it also helped me personally get a better hold of some of the concepts that were explained through this tool , particularly pattern recognition . When we put together about 15 such drawings across a cross - section of the employee population , clear trends were visible in terms of what employees were trying to communicate . The leadership was blown away when some of these findings were presented back to them .
Approach : If I were to use another tool in my next such exercise , I would likely pick the journey mapping technique . This is because , as explained in the ‘ MeYouHealth ’ story and ‘ The Good Kitchen ’ case study , it would help me and my team gain a better understanding of the ‘ what is ’ stage , thereby helping firm up both the problem statement and design criteria better .

Founded in 1900 , it has a well - established history and a solid reputation within the community . The organization has five locations throughout the city and has recently added an urgent care center . The doctors , dentists and nurses have the same , or similar , quality and level of education , as well as comparable experience . In fact , some of the doctors are currently on staff at major hospitals in the area . Knowing that the impending Affordable Care Act would bring changes , as well as opportunities , Rustic mango needed assistance . Responding to this change effectively would allow for a larger pool of potential “ patients ” and the ability to bring in more income . The ask was to rename and repackage the ability youth initiative as a reputable and competitive health care provider without losing the trust of core existing patients . Utilizing Design Thinking , specifically the Mind Mapping Tool , we investigated the opportunities to transform the ability youth initiative ’s brand from a non - profit agency into a high - quality healthcare system . Application the ability youth initiative 's main clients used the low end of the sliding scale for payment of services . This resulted in low margins and not much money for growth . The Center realized being perceived as a non - profit health provider placed limits on enticing clients with insurance and those who are able to pay the top of the scale . That meant a change of perception around their services , though what existed was already top- notch . So , we queried those who would be most impacted by the change . The landscape of health care providers in St. Louis is competitive , and urgent care centers have opened all throughout the region . However , there 's only one in St. Louis City which provided an opening for the organization to transform . Bringing together patients , staff and community stakeholders in three separate sessions , we administered a short questionnaire and discussed the responses once during the meetings . Using Post - it notes , we asked , “ What would the ‘ imagined ’ the ability youth initiative Health Center look like in the future ? ” This process resulted in overlapping thoughts and ideas resulting in a consensus that a name change would re - position the Center as a top - notch provider . An innovative name that both patients with and without insurance would respond to positively . Through collective brainstorms , lots of Post - it notes , and hundreds of options , the name WIU was selected . The name brought with it the ability to step from under the shadows of the 1900 health facilities into a state - of - the - art health care system . The logo was developed using Visualization , and messaging followed along with a campaign to activate the new brand .
Storytelling provided the information needed to understand where the messaging should be placed throughout the city . It also helped create “ personas ” of those who have exposure to the center as it existed . A majority of the current patients utilize public transportation , so bus and metro advertising was heavily enlisted . Radio , which is readily available and popular , was also used as a method to reach patients . To be more innovative and reach potential “ insured ” patients , social media and web interfaces were developed . Insight Once WIU launched , feedback was mostly positive . The only concern that persisted was that existing patients may think WIU was a new company and the ability youth initiative had closed its ’ doors . This concern has been addressed through consistent messaging and the perception has continued to decrease . What I learned from this experience is to recognize diverse perceptions and ideas that are developed when bringing groups of people together . Presuming to know what the stakeholders think and feel is a mistake , and will lead to the wrong solutions . Presumption leads to “ what I want or would do ” . Life experiences are different and can not be assumed in this process . If I worked on this project again , I would include a pool of potential patients to get their insight on what they 'd want and need for them to use WIU . Their input would have been invaluable , and though the final product was a success , that piece was lacking . Using the tools described in the course is not a new concept to me . However , through this series and this project I have a better understanding of how to present the benefits to a new client . Approach Using Mind Mapping , Storytelling , and in some ways developing personas , all allowed my creative team to really grasp the process . We were able to start with “ What Is ” and move from “ What If ” to “ What Wows ” and finally to “ What Works ” . Similar to the “ Good Kitchen ” story , understanding the key stakeholders and discovering the real challenge is key . Once the challenge is clear , it 's truly a candidate for the design thinking process .

The multinational tire brands verticalized their company and launch their own stores also amplified their portfolio beyond tire services ( offering complete solution ) . The national car service was reducing gradually your market share and profitability due to the fierce competition and price war . In additional their stores layouts were seen as old and the price perceived by customers was higher than others in the market . Due to the profitability lost they had n’t enough budget to invest in their stores or do some marketing investments . So the challenge was to recover national car service market with a sustainable growth and profitability in seven months maximum . Selection : Learning Launch Design Tool Learning Launch is a process that address a quickly , cheap and small tests in the real marketplace allowing companies evaluate with data and facts a new idea , hypothesis , key customers or an assumption . The learning launch process consist in test some hypothesis that can solve or address a customer need or pains in a complex and uncertainty environment . The learning process should have a multifunctional team plus a skeptic with a diversity views for better hypothesis value creation , execution , dependability analysis and scalability evaluation . The team shoud prioritize some key assumptions to develop a design test plan determining who will be impact ( personas ) , how will be the test , test timeframe and test costs for key assumptions and finally do the tests in a real marketplace . The learning launch will evaluate if the idea or assumption are true or false , disconfirming or confirming facts . If the data gathering shows a true or confirming facts the team can continue the
development . If the data shows false or disconfirming facts the team can pivot the idea or throw in the trash can . Application : We built a multifunctional team with eight different departments also two key opinion leaders and five clients . We applied some design thinking tools before such as ethnographic research ( using our stores and competitors stores to observe some different client behaviors ) mapping 05 personas and their tangible and intangible needs and pains . Also we applied design thinking brainstorming with visualization tools clustering and combining the ideas . We developed more than 30 great and viable ideas that wo n’t need big amount of investments ! For the learning launch we prioritized 01 persona : Uber and others app car drivers , 01 region : Small city in São Paulo interior and 01 idea : Driver Club ( free courses | Driver store week ) and establish the learning launch plan with USD 500 cost . We entered in their community of drivers and communicated the drive car club and benefits also we established some partnership with suppliers to address drivers courses inside stores and developed a story telling for all contact points inside company ( front and back office including company regional social medias ) . The small test was very successful . We grew in one month 135 % versus the same month of previous year and 68 % versus previous month . After 03 month test the results continues growing ( 35 % more ) . Insight : The Learning launch should be well structured focused to answer questions that leverage the customer expectation . We can have some distraction during the learning launches because some people wants to test other tasks together in the same test and could generate some noise in our experiment . So as our Design Thinking course explain – Stay in the question !
Other important insight was to measure and monitor all the quantitative test results also customer and people involved satisfaction and emotional gains with a baseline with the same profile . Approach : Some companies wants their results in a short time , with a minimum cost and do n’t wait until we have all data from the tests . As an alternative , we could run tests of some ideas that our team generated in parallel at different regions , testing the ideas for different personas comparing the results of each other and versus the baseline in the same time but in different samples . With all tests in a quickly time frame running in parallel we could speed the scale of the best contributors and achieve sooner the company goals .

Challenge & selection : As I was working for a large FMCG company , I was asked to establish our main brand as a leading player in the digital world , in my country . The mission looked challenging and I was just starting with the new role . I had to find a way to define the strategy together with some key company leader . Therefore , I used the Mind Mapping method to start shaping the strategy and the action plan . I choose the mind mapping tool , because I wanted to connect participant ideas to a central challenge we had . I wanted to favour creativity , find a method that allow people to work together et get the best of the participant experience and mix all sort of enterprise background .
Application : First of all I have displayed on the wall in front of all managers the central question / challenge we had to solve and I have phrased it the following way : How can we make our brand the most accessible and profitable online luxury brand for everyday enjoyment and indulgence , within 5 years ? I gathered about 12 of the best managers in a room and I have asked them to write on sticky notes , all possible answers to the question in a very concrete manner , when possible with a verb , action and very solution oriented . Then , we have reviewed all proposed notes together to make sure we understood them correctly , sometimes we have rephrased them to make them clear .
Then we started the mind mapping exercise . Silently every participant was connecting all sticky notes within each other starting from the central question , and we were grouping ideas based on affinity and logic . At the end of the exercise we had a couple of grouped solutions emerging from the mind map . Finally , we asked each participant to vote for their preferred grouped solution and suggest who was the most appropriate person to lead the task . After adding up all marks , we had our solutions prioritized in front of us .
Insights & Approach : At that moment I realized the method was immensely powerful , but It was also depending on the quality of each participant ’s contributions . Regarding the participants , I realized how important this was to select a variety of different job function , roles , hierarchy level in order to get the richest combination of action - oriented solutions . This also was important not to let the most influent participant take the lead or try to influence others . I believe working in silence is a particularly good idea and I recommend it .
The main insight for me was the power of working in group . Since the beginning of the exercise , we were discussing , reviewing , correcting each sticky note , so we had a common base until we started working in silence . This has massively helped to create a common understanding of the solution with a sense of solidarity . The end , the solution was the result of a group rather than of an individual . Following up the exercise we had a clear view of the most important actions , priorities , perfect understanding of each sub - action and who was the most relevant person to lead it .
I also found that the displayed central questions ( or challenge ) presented at the beginning of the mind mapping exercise was essential . To work well , it must be ambitious , clear and cover a real challenge . The central question must be interesting to get the best possible ideas and to motivate participants to think hard . This is important to prepare the people to work hard for 2 - 3 hours without long interruptions and keep disciplined , this is not always easy , because participant tend to start arguing or discussing what is right or wrong . Therefore , I recommend working in silence . I found the method particularly useful to make people coming from different teams with different perspective working together .

Regarding the participants , I realized how important this was to select a variety of different job function , roles , hierarchy level in order to get the richest combination of action - oriented solutions . This also was important not to let the most influent participant take the lead or try to influence others . I believe working in silence is a particularly good idea and I recommend it .
The main insight for me was the power of working in group . Since the beginning of the exercise , we were discussing , reviewing , correcting each sticky note , so we had a common base until we started working in silence . This has massively helped to create a common understanding of the solution with a sense of solidarity . The end , the solution was the result of a group rather than of an individual . Following up the exercise we had a clear view of the most important actions , priorities , perfect understanding of each sub - action and who was the most relevant person to lead it .
I also found that the displayed central questions ( or challenge ) presented at the beginning of the mind mapping exercise was essential . To work well , it must be ambitious , clear and cover a real challenge . The central question must be interesting to get the best possible ideas and to motivate participants to think hard . This is important to prepare the people to work hard for 2 - 3 hours without long interruptions and keep disciplined , this is not always easy , because participant tend to start arguing or discussing what is right or wrong . Therefore , I recommend working in silence . I found the method particularly useful to make people coming from different teams with different perspective working together .

Challenge I am a Business Analyst of my organization ’s IT department . We were approached by the Sales team to enhance an application that they use for updating sales activities after visit to clients , create hardware configurations according to client ’s requirements , submits the configuration for approval and processing , and send sales proposals to clients for confirmation . This application on tablet ( e.g. iPad ) was developed by external vendor and is to provide a one - stop tool for the Sales team to improve engagement with clients . Over the years , with ad - hoc enhancements added to the application , it is not as user - friendly , long response time to navigate between tabs and every application update would affect its reliability . The objective of this project is to overhaul the application with better navigation experience , faster response time and robust reliability . Selection The team ’s priority is to first focus on the processes when the Sales person interacts with their clients . We will go over the engagement process , and observe how the application can help the sales process ( for the Sales person and the client ) and the information that they input into the application can help the Sales Operation and Finance department process the orders and invoice the clients respectively . This will address the users experience issue . With this in mind , we decided to use the Visualization tool to break down the problems and opportunities into different sections . We hope this will uncover areas that we can add to improve the application , understand which portion of the current application that are giving the Sales team inconveniences , and how other teams ( Sales Operation and Finance ) utilize the data from the application , i.e. process and bill the orders . Application In Visualization chapter of the Designing for Growth book by Wan Duncan and Alexander Grace , we will begin with “ What is ” . We organized a workshop for the Sales team to provide feedback . During the workshop , they wrote their feedback on post - it pads and pasted it on whiteboard . One feedback per piece . We group their feedback by processes , for example , find information of products to create or edit configurations , create record of new customers , edit sales activities , retrieve existing customers ’ data . We also have Sales Operation and Finance departments to participate as they requested for additional and accurate information to process and bill orders . After the workshop , we used the feedback to next stage of “ What if ” where we sketch out on large flip charts how to organize the navigation tabs according to the sales process , how to display information for selection during input , sequence the data fields for easy input during configuration and create record of new customers and edit sales activities .
Besides fixing the present inadequacies of the application , we also added enhancements , for example , changing the fonts and background colors , new display of products with search and left - right navigation features to give the application a more updated layout . Using the sketch from “ What if ” , we handed to a team member to create wireframes and design application prototype . This will mimic the navigation experience for “ What wows ” to make the concept tangible . The next stage is “ What works ” where we arranged another workshop with the Sales , Sales Operation and Finance team to present the prototype . We had role - play to test out the new design and change the wireframe and prototype onsite from their feedback . This iterative approach saves time instead of changing design during development and everyone can visualize what to expect in the new application . Insights Applying the Visualization tool approach is putting the users first in revamping the application . The process to gather information , get feedback , design prototype etc . could take longer than usual approach but was helping us with uncovering more areas to improve the application . For example , the sequence and process to input information to create a new customer ’s record could save the Sales team tremendous amount of time if we can pre - populate some fields . The Sales team finds using this new approach took up a lot of their time as most of the time they are out visiting clients . They appreciates the effort we made to gather their feedback and recommended for future discussions on application re - design , we could utilize a few of their team members at the initial stage to gather feedback and have all come together when the mockup is ready for them to review . We also need to be mindful of bringing too many people to a workshop as different teams could have needs that another team may find it not applicable to them . We could have divide to sub - groups for “ targeted ” approach . Approach This is our first attempt in using Design Thinking activities / tools . We can improve in managing the workshop for smaller groups to better manage the feedback from multiple teams . We need to thoroughly review the insights gained and take it into account when we use other approaches of Design Thinking for other projects .

Example reflection : Storytelling
Challenge and selection :
We find so many street dogs which get nothing to eat in the lockdown and many are died out of hunger . So as I 'm a part of a group who really wants to help the street dogs , we thought to feed them in daily basis . But we are in a small group even if we want , we can not help all the dogs in our town .
Application :
We thought to start an NGO who will take care of the street dogs and feed them and take them to vets at the time of need and treat them well . For that , we registered us under Societies Registration Act . We got touched with the existing society of our college which gave support to us . And we also got donations around the city which helps us to treat stray dogs in greater number .
Insight and approach :
Design thinking really helped us to think and structure our volunteer work . It gives us an immense pleasure to help those street dogs in this crucial time of pandemic .

The tool I decided to use was the mind map tool , in order to understand a specific topic , analyze it , see possible alternatives and finally , improve processes thanks to design thinking .
I have been using this tool on several occasions with different projects in which I have been able to participate . I have generally used it in the implementation of new systems that seek to improve process times in different areas of my work . For long hours , we have used a blackboard and markers of various colors , while we contribute ideas , everything is recorded on the blackboard so that nothing is overlooked . We do this mainly so that we are all aligned and follow the same project path .
Mind maps provide many more ideas than what one expects , and through mind maps we can define the functionality of each of the processes that we seek to understand or improve .
Mental maps start from a What is it ? , identifying in detail each step of our subject to be treated , that is , what does an action do within the process , or what is said action for , or what is the purpose To do it that way ? Only once the functionality of the processes has been clearly understood and reflected on a mental map , can we start with the classification of ideas according to the topics to be treated .
I know that the mind mapping tool will help me a lot when I want to establish an activity that takes me more quickly and easily to my goal without affecting the rest of my processes .
Application
Together with my work colleagues , we met for several weeks in a room with a blackboard , a projector , and many colored markers . Mainly , we began by explaining in a very brief way the process that we sought to improve , it is important to emphasize that the first explanation was brief , however , on the blackboard a map was drawn with the different steps that integrated the process of paying teachers , this with the purpose that we all understand and be aligned .
During the first sessions , doubts were cleared about the project that was going to be improved , however , once we all understood the process , we began to detail each step of it .
From each step of the teacher payment process , a new mind map was drawn , taking into account the two most important questions on the mind map , What is ? And What if ? For a better explanation , real cases were presented of how our system was currently working or how we carried out our activities manually . Several databases were presented for a better understanding of the teacher payment process , until finally on a blackboard full of details , a new mental map began to be drawn with new ideas that sought to improve each step of the process .
After the various proposals for ideas about improvements , a consolidated of all viable ideas was prepared and reflected in a final mental map which had to be very clear since it would be presented to the corresponding authorities for approval .
At the time of the presentation of the different mind maps that were made throughout the sessions , the authorities had several observations , which served as feedback for our project . Finally , once all our maps were approved , they were presented to the systems department , so that they could translate these maps into a new system that promised to improve the teacher payment process .
Insight & Approach
During the execution of this very important tool that is the mind map , I managed to obtain a lot of professional and personal information , I was able to realize that seeing a process from another point of view can contribute in a great way , I was also able to realize that by Using a mind map , it is easier to explain a specific topic , in addition to providing clear information to all participants in a project . Thanks to mind maps I was able to identify various problems that were slowing down my processes and in the same way I was able to solve those problems . In addition , together with my colleagues we were able to find several variables that could help us carry out our activities in a more effective and efficient way , and obviously the benefit that was obtained with the application of mind maps was for all my colleagues .
In my next project in which I participate and in which I apply mind maps again , I will try to take into account more the details since these were the ones that the authorities made observations . In addition , I will be able to apply a new tool that is Storytelling with the new people I work with , explaining what my experience was like and how the mind maps contributed to my work

The visualization tool is essential and adds more benefits to build a direct connect with the customer & their core problems and issues . I am a business consultant and have worked for many Telecom projects . My customers ’ faces critical issues like faster time to market , technology upgrades and customer churn due to steep competition . Constant and consistent performance to achieve higher growth with better cost control wears them down . The only way to sustain in the competitive Telecom market is to identify growth wheels , new approach to achieve higher growth with cost optimization . The visualization tool helps me and my customers in introspecting about how things are moving and at which direction , where do they want to go and how we should approach . I personally like this tool because it opens the creative side of me and helps me think beyond the problem areas to identify possible ideas . This tool gives me the much needed power to empathize towards customer issues and helps me in ethnography mapping . Application I have used visualization tool in various ways . With telecom industry best practices and available customer information , I first draw the organization chart and also the customer journey maps . Although these journey maps are only for reference yet those are pure play drawings which have very basic information about every customer stakeholder , its role and process to achieve desired output or outcome . During discussions , workshops and meetings I use these maps as ice breakers . Neither these are final journey maps nor do those maps have all the information . Hence these maps are used only for discussion to gather more information . I also use drawing board to start mapping departments involved in the process . This helps me identify which departments are involved in customer facing activities . This defines the Moment of Truth for the process . I use a lot of post - its / sticky - notes and ask the participants to put their challenges and paste it on the board . Most of the time , I create four to five vertical blocks on the board dedicated for each department and then start pasting all the post - its received from the participants . This helps all the participants to see what information we have got and what can be the real problem the organization is facing . Sometimes , more participants provide same / similar problem or artifact in different words . Even though participants may represent different departments , yet their inputs for the problem can be same . This helps me understand how deep this problem is impacting the organization and helps me in prioritizing it for further investigation . In my meetings , I expect at least 5 to 8 participants representing mostly the impacted departments . This helps me get a better view of the journey that I mapped and also helps me understand the problem statement better . I circulate post - its , color pens and papers to my participants . I take 3 ft by 3 ft size print - outs of the journeys and put those on the meeting room walls . I also define customer touch points in my journey and ensure those are clearly visible to the participants . I ask every participant to validate the process and identify the possible issues with the journey . The participant has to put his point on the post - it and paste it on the process where he / she thinks a problem area . I ask the participants following questions –
1 . Is the journey map having all the relevant information ? 2 . Is the flow of the journey map correct for your organization ? 3 . According to you , what are the problem areas in this journey map ? 4 . What needs to improve in this journey ?
Above points / questions are mainly to help them think what is the current situation of the organization and how they think it can be solved . For me , it gives great insight into the organization and its people . Roughly after 15 - 20 mins of group discussion and small talk , each participant comes up with their own inputs and start pasting them on the journey maps . First , I ask them to post only the relevant information inputs so that I can update the journey . Secondly , I ask them to post only the issues / problems using key or power words and paste on the journey . I group common inputs / suggestions and prioritize after discussing with the participants . After meeting with participants , I recreate journey map with updated information based on the inputs received from the participants . I again share the information with the same participant group and again try to get the inputs to improve the journey map till it is
accepted by the participant group . This data gathering helps both participants and me in understanding problem areas , journey map and also defining the goal for the transformation . Insight & Approach The power of the visualization tool is immense . The diverse group can come together and start drawing their thoughts either in the form of process maps , journey maps or even simple plane boxes that helps being every participant on the common ground . As I mentioned earlier , I personally like this tool as it opens up creative thinking side of human brain . It pushes the participant think beyond what he is seeing and it brings the best out of him / her . The visualization tool enables participants and users to identify what are the various ways to look at problem and solution . The use of this tool is diverse . It allows the third party consultants to empathize by visualizing customer pain areas . It allows the diverse participant groups to empathize by visualizing beyond their own problem areas . It creates the common ground for all the participants and also acts as an ice breaker most of the time . Most of the time visualization tool allows the less speaking or shy participants a mean to communicate with others and helps achieve desire result , if possible . This tool I have used in my personal life also . Whenever my daughter wants to tell problem which she can not explain , I have taught her to draw & highlight the problem areas . Most of the time , I get what she wants to explain . She uses this tool to help understand me and my wife about her problem so that we can help her better .

During discussions , workshops and meetings I use these maps as ice breakers . Neither these are final journey maps nor do those maps have all the information . Hence these maps are used only for discussion to gather more information . I also use drawing board to start mapping departments involved in the process . This helps me identify which departments are involved in customer facing activities . This defines the Moment of Truth for the process . I use a lot of post - its / sticky - notes and ask the participants to put their challenges and paste it on the board . Most of the time , I create four to five vertical blocks on the board dedicated for each department and then start pasting all the post - its received from the participants . This helps all the participants to see what information we have got and what can be the real problem the organization is facing . Sometimes , more participants provide same / similar problem or artifact in different words . Even though participants may represent different departments , yet their inputs for the problem can be same . This helps me understand how deep this problem is impacting the organization and helps me in prioritizing it for further investigation . In my meetings , I expect at least 5 to 8 participants representing mostly the impacted departments . This helps me get a better view of the journey that I mapped and also helps me understand the problem statement better . I circulate post - its , color pens and papers to my participants . I take 3 ft by 3 ft size print - outs of the journeys and put those on the meeting room walls . I also define customer touch points in my journey and ensure those are clearly visible to the participants . I ask every participant to validate the process and identify the possible issues with the journey . The participant has to put his point on the post - it and paste it on the process where he / she thinks a problem area . I ask the participants following questions –
1 . Is the journey map having all the relevant information ? 2 . Is the flow of the journey map correct for your organization ? 3 . According to you , what are the problem areas in this journey map ? 4 . What needs to improve in this journey ?
Above points / questions are mainly to help them think what is the current situation of the organization and how they think it can be solved . For me , it gives great insight into the organization and its people . Roughly after 15 - 20 mins of group discussion and small talk , each participant comes up with their own inputs and start pasting them on the journey maps . First , I ask them to post only the relevant information inputs so that I can update the journey . Secondly , I ask them to post only the issues / problems using key or power words and paste on the journey . I group common inputs / suggestions and prioritize after discussing with the participants . After meeting with participants , I recreate journey map with updated information based on the inputs received from the participants . I again share the information with the same participant group and again try to get the inputs to improve the journey map till it is
accepted by the participant group . This data gathering helps both participants and me in understanding problem areas , journey map and also defining the goal for the transformation . Insight & Approach The power of the visualization tool is immense . The diverse group can come together and start drawing their thoughts either in the form of process maps , journey maps or even simple plane boxes that helps being every participant on the common ground . As I mentioned earlier , I personally like this tool as it opens up creative thinking side of human brain . It pushes the participant think beyond what he is seeing and it brings the best out of him / her . The visualization tool enables participants and users to identify what are the various ways to look at problem and solution . The use of this tool is diverse . It allows the third party consultants to empathize by visualizing customer pain areas . It allows the diverse participant groups to empathize by visualizing beyond their own problem areas . It creates the common ground for all the participants and also acts as an ice breaker most of the time . Most of the time visualization tool allows the less speaking or shy participants a mean to communicate with others and helps achieve desire result , if possible . This tool I have used in my personal life also . Whenever my daughter wants to tell problem which she can not explain , I have taught her to draw & highlight the problem areas . Most of the time , I get what she wants to explain . She uses this tool to help understand me and my wife about her problem so that we can help her better .

For this exercise I researched " 2 . Journey Mapping " in combination with " 1 . Visualization " .
Challenge
I am a member of the Digital Team and the challenge we have is to optimize the process of tax returns . This process consists of 4 stages : Planning , Preparation , Review , and Approval . The goal is to reduce your management time by at least 30 % , as well as reducing the cost of the service .
This process has an economic impact in two aspects :
1 . Penalty for extemporaneous equivalent to 10 % of the tax to be paid . 2 . 5 % penalty in case a correction is required in the declared values .
The areas of interest are the Corporate Tax Advisory and Planning Department and the Financial Operations Department , which are the main actors in the process .
Selection
For the “ What is ” stage , as seen in the “ The Good Kitchen ” case , the “ Journey Mapping ” tool was selected to review the process and determine not only the functional but also the emotional aspects that could impact it .
Given that different organizational areas are involved in the process , “ Journey Mapping ” will allow us to identify whether the improvement aspects are exclusively functional or if there are emotional Trust issues , among others , that prevent the process from being optimal .
“ Journey Mapping ” will also allow us to clarify and identify the needs of the actors in the process ( clients for us ) , to really know what they want and thus generate the expected value impact .
Application
The steps that we will follow to apply the “ Journey Mapping ” will be :
1 . Select the key officials who execute the process of tax returns and we investigate how they
fulfill their functions in the process , their experience during the execution of the activities to ensure the task . If the activities are manual or automated , if they manage to carry them out during working hours , if there is pressure or fear given the impact of sanctions , which motivates or discourages them from their work , among others .
Willian Sanches V – Page 2
2 . Present our hypothetical vision of the process and its step by step . The process follows four
main phases ( Planning , Preparation , Review , and Approval ) . With this format , we hope to obtain information about the process in five main aspects : Objectives ( Reason for the Phase ) , Steps ( the activities that are followed in the phase ) , Emotions ( to determine the feelings of people in the fulfillment of the activities and that may generate delays ) , Time ( to determine the time required for each activity ) and Cost ( to establish the cost of the activities of the phase ) .

3 . Select a representative group of participants in the process , to carry out the pilot interviews
on the step - by - step process .
4 . Conduct the interview pilot to get the information that was presented in step 2 . It is
important to deepen the experience in each step to get the information of what the interviewees thinks and feels , what they should do , and the time they take to achieve it . To be able to identify your actions , motivations , and obstacles that come your way . According to the methodology presented in the book " Designing for Growth " , it is recommended that the interview be conducted by two people so that the interviewer gives her full attention to the interviewee while the second researcher takes notes . This step is surely the most important and profound , since the greatest amount of information must be gathered about the moments of truth , the detailed steps that are followed and for what , and the emotional ups and downs .
5 . Once the interviews are finished , we can put all of them on the wall and as a team finds the
most important patterns and ideas that will be useful for the “ What if ” stage . Something like :

To build this section I based myself on the book “ Designing for Growth ” .
Insight&Approach
The “ Journey Mapping ” tool gives me more elements to develop people - centered innovation , put myself in my client 's shoes , and thus proposes process improvements overcoming challenges and meeting needs , covering more aspects than traditional methodologies were not considered , for example , weak points and their emotions . It will allow us to identify silos , crafts , rework , times , costs , motivations , among others . With this information , we can assess where the opportunities are that allow us to fulfill the value promise of reducing management time by at least 30 % , as well as reducing the cost of the service .
Additionally , with this tool , a visual representation ( Visualization ) is made that facilitates the understanding of the process , the better knowledge of the clients and their needs , the global vision of the experience and thus identify possible opportunities for improvement of the end - to - end process .
Likewise , I consider that as the “ As is ” shows , it will also be useful once the improvements are implemented to go through the process again and validate that the promised value was fulfilled .
I am a new person in this Design Thinking technique and its tools and with the course and this task of reflection I have been able to know at least the De Journey Mapping in more detail , but I am motivated to delve into the rest .

Challenge When I was in High school I was a member of a non - profit organization working with a team of 10 members . At that time , we had the job / task of organizing something to raise funds for the organization . Because the team was implemented in the school we had few resources to do that project . We had the idea of doing a marathon of solidarity concerts , where we asked the artists to perform for free and charged the people who came to watch the concert . Fortunately , the director of our school got us a list of many artists that maybe interest in helping and performing for free . The problem was that we wanted to do a marathon of concerts ( not just one ) to raise money and the majority of the artists only performed classical musical , and this type of music could not interest high school students ( teenagers ) . Selection The team really thought our idea was good , but because of the constraints and risks , we needed to test our hypotheses before we move forward with the marathon of concerts . With this , the design thinking tool we decided to use was the “ Learning Launch Tool ” . With this , we would do one experimental concert , not so elaborate as the ones we were planning for the marathon , as a prototype to test the idea of the marathon of concerts . Application For our first learning launch , we focused mainly on the marketing side . For the concert itself , we did n’t need that much . We contacted 3 artists for the concert and the 3 accepted and seemed really excited about the idea . We also had a proper auditorium for concerts with a really good sound system and school officials that offered to help with the sound system . As I was saying , for the concert itself we had practically everything done without much effort or resources spent . The only thing we need now was people to attend the concert . Our main targets were the students and their closest family . With this , we designed a publicity poster and pasted in every wall we could ( and had permission ) in school . We also shared the posters on our social media and talked with the students in the breaks between classes . Insight & Approach Many people attended and we raised a good amount of money . After the concert , we explained our idea of doing a marathon and asked if people would come to other concerts . Unfortunately , the majority of people , despite loving the concert , said that would n’t come to the other concerts . Between various reasons , the main one was that students saw concerts like a thing to go from time to time and not regularly . After this learning launch , and despite the concert being a success , we understood that a marathon was n’t viable and perceived that we maybe should have done a “ study ” about
doing the marathon by first asking the students about it and then using the learning launch concert to test it . At that time some colleagues and I already knew about the “ Learning Launch Tool ” , the problem was that we only knew about it theoretically and did n’t know enough to correctly put it into practice . With this course , I understand that before we were using the tool in an “ ad hoc ” way . But as said in this course everything is a learning tool , and with this experiment and course , I take this project as a learning experience and see myself better prepared for future similar situations ( hopefully it will be different situations so I can be out of my comfort zone and increase my repertoire ) .

The challenge is the sale of locally produced goods in Africa . This is a challenge because goods produced locally need to be sold internationally and since it is not easy to do so , producers find it difficult selling their products on the local market to make maximum profit .
2 . Selection : In your own words , briefly describe the tool you selected ( e.g. , what it is
and why you selected it for your challenge -- including any appropriate video lecture references ) .
I selected Mind Mapping tool to help in finding a solution to this situation . Mind mapping helps to think , collect knowledge , remember and create ideas . A mind map is a graphical way to represent ideas and concepts . It is a visual thinking tool that helps structuring information , helping you to better analyze , comprehend , synthesize , recall and generate new ideas . Mind maps can be created in many different ways , but they share the same basics . Mind mapping is very critical to the design thinking process .
3 . Application : Describe how you applied the tool you selected to your challenge ( e.g. ,
what you did and how the tool was applied effectively or ineffectively ) .
I collected information to understand the challenge to understand “ what is ” and to identify “ what if ” . I collected information from several players that are involved in producing goods locally and marketing and distribution agencies . I then identified all the insights in the information gathered and uncovered what its implied . This helped me to understand the challenge and arrived at a solution .
4 . Insight : Describe the insight you gained from applying the tool you selected to your
challenge ( e.g. , how an insight affected your thinking about the challenge and about design thinking more broadly ) .
It has helped me to understand the mind mapping tool and how to use it . In my view , mind mapping is the best to use in design thinking . It should therefore be used to find solutions to any problem .
5 . Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same
tool you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why .
When using this tool again , I would gather most of the stakeholders together to gather information and find solutions to any challenge being faced . This will help find solution in time .

Challenge & Selection : Visualization
I Manage a large Transformation Program with one of the Investment firms with the mandate to drive efficiencies using new age digital levers Like Automaton , Process Excellence , Analytics and Machine Learning , we adopt the method of Eliminate , optimize and Automate which means before we onboard our journey with Transformation we assess the process understand the current challenges , limitations and then design the future state and post which we work with development team for Implementing it .
We encountered a series of challenges during our transformation journey mainly related to People , Process and Technology and I want to share one such specific challenge with regards to business process and How we used Visualization to streamline the process which will enable us to drive better business outcomes
The Process that we were responsible for had many Manual steps , fragmented and were not standardized and because of which team on the ground were working at 120 % of their capacity , resulted in many errors and thereby Impacting the P & L and also firm ’s reputation .
During our assessments we had interviewed and shadow mapped with the operations team and assessed their current way of working , one thing came out very evidently that they do not have a front to back view of their processes and they rely heavily on their SOP ’s which was mostly text with no visual representation of the flow hence we picked up Visualization as a tool to implement and visually represent the process and find out bottlenecks , delays , and reasons for errors .
AS - IS : Team of 4 were processing ~ 2000 transactions per day and with Average of 20 errors per day and with low morale in the team
Application & Insight :
Now that we had the insights from what - is phase we wanted to plot the process steps to visually represent the process flow , Workshop was conducted with Subject Matter Experts , process owners and team responsible for managing the transactions , we provided them a template to Capture some basic details of the process and then started mapping the process steps from start to end and this continued until we captured all the activities that were in Scope . Along with Process excellence team , we have created a front to back visual process flow which represents how the current flow of data / work is handled .
We were surprised to see the output and flow of work because some of the steps were not logically connected and similar set of activities were carried on by multiple people which can be clubbed together , now it was time for design workshop with the similar set of people but this time we had an advantage of visual representation of the processes . We had a series of brainstorming sessions to redesign the process to run it in the most efficient way with less number of handovers , less waiting time and better output with increased processing time .
Instead of just explaining the TO - BE state /Future State we have visually represented the process flow and also highlighting them the areas of improvement , bottlenecks , and scope for efficiency . While there was a bit of resistance initially to adapt to this new design but they were confident later when best practices were shared from other departments and benefits that they are reaping with new redesign process .
Sensitivity : Internal & Restricted
It took us four weeks to implement this solution completely and results were startling and there was a renewed energy and positivity in the team as there were fewer errors and team was processing more transactions with fewer backlogs .
Post Implementation : Team of 4 were processing ~ 3000 transactions per day and with Average of 5 errors per day and zero backlogs and 100 % boosted the morale of the team
Approach :
We had a lot of learnings redesigning the above - mentioned processes and we realized it is not one tool in isolation should be used to drive better benefits rather two more tools can be used in tandems like visualization and storytelling so when we went on with another processing we explained them about our Journey with this team , benefits along with visualization and with greater participation .
We have Standardized this approach and taken with the larger organization where ever we had challenges regarding capacity management , Manual errors , process backlogs and bottlenecks which resulted with over client and employee satisfaction

### Input: Sensitivity : Internal & Restricted
Challenge & Selection : Visualization
I Manage a large Transformation Program with one of the Investment firms with the mandate to drive efficiencies using new age digital levers Like Automaton , Process Excellence , Analytics and Machine Learning , we adopt the method of Eliminate , optimize and Automate which means before we onboard our journey with Transformation we assess the process understand the current challenges , limitations and then design the future state and post which we work with development team for Implementing it .
We encountered a series of challenges during our transformation journey mainly related to People , Process and Technology and I want to share one such specific challenge with regards to business process and How we used Visualization to streamline the process which will enable us to drive better business outcomes
The Process that we were responsible for had many Manual steps , fragmented and were not standardized and because of which team on the ground were working at 120 % of their capacity , resulted in many errors and thereby Impacting the P & L and also firm ’s reputation .
During our assessments we had interviewed and shadow mapped with the operations team and assessed their current way of working , one thing came out very evidently that they do not have a front to back view of their processes and they rely heavily on their SOP ’s which was mostly text with no visual representation of the flow hence we picked up Visualization as a tool to implement and visually represent the process and find out bottlenecks , delays , and reasons for errors .
AS - IS : Team of 4 were processing ~ 2000 transactions per day and with Average of 20 errors per day and with low morale in the team
Application & Insight :
Now that we had the insights from what - is phase we wanted to plot the process steps to visually represent the process flow , Workshop was conducted with Subject Matter Experts , process owners and team responsible for managing the transactions , we provided them a template to Capture some basic details of the process and then started mapping the process steps from start to end and this continued until we captured all the activities that were in Scope . Along with Process excellence team , we have created a front to back visual process flow which represents how the current flow of data / work is handled .
We were surprised to see the output and flow of work because some of the steps were not logically connected and similar set of activities were carried on by multiple people which can be clubbed together , now it was time for design workshop with the similar set of people but this time we had an advantage of visual representation of the processes . We had a series of brainstorming sessions to redesign the process to run it in the most efficient way with less number of handovers , less waiting time and better output with increased processing time .
Instead of just explaining the TO - BE state /Future State we have visually represented the process flow and also highlighting them the areas of improvement , bottlenecks , and scope for efficiency . While there was a bit of resistance initially to adapt to this new design but they were confident later when best practices were shared from other departments and benefits that they are reaping with new redesign process .

Challenge : In my final year of graduation , I had to pitch my project idea to my mentors and convince them to continue forward with my idea .
Selection : For this challenge , I chose visualisation as I believe a problem statement can be understood better if one could simply visualise it and also once the problem statement is understood , one can come up with different approaches to solve the problem and select the most efficient one .
Application : To make sure that my professors understand my project idea , I created a powerpoint presentation , in which I had explained my problem using pie charts to depict the statistics . Later , I had included the image of the prototype of the device which made it clear what all elements will be included in my device . Also , I had used a flow chart to explain the functioning of my project which made it clear how my device would solve the problem
Insight : I realised that visualisation helps in breaking down the complex idea with multiple dimensions into basic elements . Using images helps people retain information . Most people only remember 10 % of what they heard three days ago . Add an image to the message , and this figure jumps to 65 % . So , if we are going to the trouble of interrupting people from their work , we owe it to everyone to make it worth their time . Better to spend the extra time and create a visual than disrupt them six times with the same message to achieve similar retention
Approach : I feel that was the most appropriate approach and it did help me pitch my project to my stakeholders successfully , not only this , they were also able input their ideas into the solution which was very useful in completing the project .

The recently released quarterly GDP growth numbers for the first quarter of FY2020 - 21 should alarm us all . The 23.9 percent contraction in India ( and the numbers will probably be worse when we get estimates of the damage in the informal sector ) compares with a drop of 12.4 percent in Italy and 9.5 percent in the United States , two of the most Covid - affected advanced countries .
Yet India is even worse off than these comparisons suggest . The pandemic is still raging in India , so discretionary spending , especially on high - contact services like restaurants , and the associated employment , will stay low until the virus is contained . Government - provided relief becomes all the more important . This has been meager ; primarily free food grains to poor households ; and credit guarantees to banks for lending to small and medium ( SMEs ) firms , where the take down has been patchy . The government ’s reluctance to do more today seems partly because it wants to conserve resources for a possible future stimulus . This strategy is self - defeating .
If you think of the economy as a patient , relief is the sustenance the patient needs while on the sickbed and fighting the disease . Without relief , households skip meals , pull their children out of school and send them to work or beg , pledge their gold to borrow , let EMIs and rent arrears pile up … Similarly , without relief , small and medium firms – think of a small restaurant -- stop paying workers , let debt pile up , or close permanently . Essentially , the patient atrophies , so by the time the disease is contained , the patient has become a shell of herself .
Now think of economic stimulus as a tonic . When the disease is vanquished , it can help the patient get out of her sickbed faster . But if the patient has atrophied , stimulus will have little effect . Even if they start earning , indebted households will not consume freely , especially if they believe they have to manage further periods without livelihoods or government help . Similarly , even small and medium firms that have stayed open but have huge unpaid bills and interest will not be able to function well . Without relief measures , the growth potential of the economy will be seriously damaged . Brazil , which has spent tremendously on relief , is seeing a much lower downgrade to medium term growth than India .
So government officials who hold out the possibility of a stimulus when India finally contains the virus are underestimating the damage from a more shrunken and scarred economy at that point . Instead of claiming there is a V - shaped recovery round the corner , they should wonder why the United States , despite spending over 20 percent of GDP in fiscal and credit relief measures , is still worried the economy will not return to pre - pandemic GDP levels by the end of 2021 .
Obviously , because of the pre - pandemic growth slowdown and the government ’s strained fiscal condition , officials believe it can not spend on both relief and stimulus . This mindset is too pessimistic , but the government will have to expand the resource envelope in every way possible , and spend as cleverly as possible . It also has to take every action that can move the economy forward without additional spending . All this requires a more thoughtful and active government . Unfortunately , after an initial burst of activity , it seems to have retreated into a shell .
On the resource front , India could borrow more without scaring the bond markets if it committed to return to fiscal viability over the medium term – for example , by setting future debt reduction targets through legislation , and committing to honest and transparent fiscal numbers with a watchdog 1 By Ahmed Yaseen
independent fiscal council . In addition to borrowing , it should prepare public sector firm shares for on- tap sale , to take advantage of every period of market buoyancy . The current period of buoyancy already looks like a missed opportunity . Many government and public sector entities have surplus land in prime urban areas , and those too should be readied for sale . Even if sales do not take place immediately , preparations for sale , as well as an announced time table , will give bond markets greater conviction the government is serious about restoring fiscal stability .
Turning to government spending , the key will be to prioritize . MNREGA is a tried and tested means of providing rural relief and should be replenished as needed . Given the length of the pandemic , more direct cash transfers to the poorest households , especially in urban areas that do not have access to MNREGA , is warranted . The government and public sector firms should clear their payables quickly ( something that has been talked about for years ) so that liquidity moves to corporations . In addition , small firms below a certain size could be rebated the corporate income and GST tax they paid last year ( or some portion thereof ) , with the rebate tapering off with firm size . This would be an objective way of helping small viable firms based on a hard - to - manipulate metric , even while rewarding them for their honesty . Finally , the government will likely have to set aside resources to recapitalize public sector banks as the extent of losses are recognized .
The private sector should also be urged to give a helping hand . Cash - rich platforms like Amazon , Reliance , and Walmart could help smaller suppliers get back on their feet , even funding some of them . All large firms should be incentivized to clear their receivables quickly .
As the various payment moratoria come to an end , a number of entities will be unable to repay . Instead of reacting in a piece - meal way , the government should have a well - thought - out plan to deal with the coming financial distress . A variety of structures should be in place to help debtors and claimants such as landlords and banks reach agreements to restructure obligations , including having unpayable amounts written off . A number of arbitration forums should be set up to renegotiate claims of various sizes . Civil courts , debt recovery tribunals , and the NCLT should be beefed up to provide rapid back - up judgments .
Given the depth of the contraction , stimulus will also be needed , especially investment in infrastructure construction which creates jobs and increases demand for all manner of inputs like cement and steel . The center should replenish the coffers of the state governments , which typically spend more on infrastructure . This can be accounted for as part of the GST dues the center owes the states . In addition , the center should notify shelf - ready projects that are in the National Infrastructure Pipeline for implementation . Given the lead time for such spending , all this should happen now .
Reforms can be a form of stimulus , and even if not carried out immediately , a timeline to undertake them can boost current investor sentiment . The world will recover earlier than India , so exports can be a way for India to grow . For that to happen , the government has to reverse its recent raising of tariffs so that inputs can be imported at low cost . Once it resets tariffs , the government should make it harder to change them at whim , else firms will not have the confidence to invest in export production , given how competitive the world is . To improve our competitiveness , long debated reforms to land acquisition , labor , power , and the financial sector should be implemented , as should recently announced reforms in agriculture . Temporary half - baked “ reforms ” , such as the recent suspension of labor protections in a number of states , will do little to enthuse industry or workers , and give reforms a bad name .
India needs strong growth , not just to satisfy the aspirations of our youth but to keep our unfriendly neighbors at bay . The recent pick - up in sectors like autos is not evidence of the much awaited V - shaped recovery . It reflects pent - up demand , which will fade as we go down to the true level of demand in the damaged , partially - functioning , economy . No doubt , the government and its bureaucrats are working hard as always , but they need to be frightened out of their complacency and into meaningful activity . If there is a silver lining in the awful GDP numbers , hopefully it is that .

Challenge & Selection
Storytelling is a very useful tool to motivate people to keep going and not give up . Now a days , all the people around the world have several problems for the pandemic and they see their dreams as impossible but knowing stories from others can help them not give up .
I used to sell desserts especially bread but when the pandemic started , I stopped doing it because I did n't know how to do it from home . So , I was looking for new ideas on the internet and I found that a lot of people decided to start their own business from home and all those stories of how they overcame obstacles helped me to sell my desserts online . Now I am that person who tells stories to other people , so they do n't give up .
Application
My online dessert business was a success and many people asked me how I did it in a pandemic . So , I realized that a lot of people have questions about it and also , they were very afraid that it would not work . So , I decides to open a new Instagram account where I post a lot of useful information of how a lot of people saw an opportunity in these difficult days . I contacted all the people I met who created their online business and I asked them to tell me their story .
When I have their stories , I asked them for permission to post them on my Instagram account to help more people . Also , I give advice and tips so that they can get out of their comfort zone and a lot of people follow my advice and when they decided to start a new online business , they send me their stories so I can continue posting it .
Insight & Approach
At the beginning I was n't sure if my idea would work for me or others . But it is proven that listening to other people 's testimonies helps many more to take the initiative , so I think that I really did a good job .
I am sure that I will continue with this tool because it is giving me a really good results and not only me but many people too .
Perhaps , in the future I will implement the visualization tool to be able to give another focus to my work .

Challenge As a Business Consultant in the IT industry it is my constant challenge to engage with clients in the most productive and expedient way possible . Also , there is no ‘ typical ’ challenge as customers , their stories , industries , and topics often change . But I would say it is quite common that clients think they know what they want and jump into conclusion although , they actually do not know what they really need . It is just their first , or most obvious , guess . Often this is realized to late in the engagement when time and money has already been wasted . So , the challenge is how to overcome this and figure out what really matters to the client beforehand .
Selection A key takeaway for me from this course is that Design Thinking puts emphasis on the ‘ What is ? ’ . And this is exactly what I often see as being neglected in business . In the lesson on the Mind Mapping tool from week three , Angelica Martinez showed what Mind Mapping is all about . And I learned that it ’s a great tool take all the information available and collaboratively shape an understanding of the current reality and , as a team , deep dive into what the essence of the problem is . I believe that Mind Mapping could help in specifying the current state at the beginning of an engagement and would therefore solve my challenge .
Application In the consulting business workshops are commonly used and sometimes you stick to methods that you have applied before and that have proven successful . But none of these tools I have come across and applied provides such a good methodology for narrowing down a current situation and even already think about potential solutions by design criteria . The tools I have used so far , such as brainstorming , create a pool of insights , but the evaluation and interpretation of the results was up to an individual or two who organized the workshop . In this way I believe it ’s impossible to find clusters and dependencies as good as you can when doing it collaboratively .
As often , preparation is key . So before conducting workshops I made sure to thoroughly collect the information , make sure that its well readable and understandable . Also , the workshop location matters , and it might even be worth it to book an event room depending on how many participants there are to have enough space . It is a good experience for participants to first take a tour and have a look at the information provided . In this way they can dive into the situation for themselves before collaborating in their teams . So , make sure to account for enough time for that .
Insight The difficulty I would say is that you as a consultant in a way disagree with the client or show that you do not really believe in what the client tells you his problems are . As you want to focus on the current situation again . But when the client stands behind the idea of again defining the problem in a collaborative manner it works out great . Overall the Design Thinking process provides good guidance on which steps to take and where to put emphasis on . I think it is much more expedient to first really drill down on the problem , opposed to just jumping to possible solutions and maybe rate them and move on based on that , which is often done .
Approach It is crucial and not trivial to positively formulate and make the client understand that problem definition is essential and that it might be better to again do it properly . Also , it depends on the problem statement the client approaches you beforehand . Some want to be guided through the whole process anyway , some might only want consultants to be involved in one step of their own process .
Going forward I will definitively more often apply Mind Mapping as it is a great tool to create a common understanding of the situation first and I believe better solutions will result based on that . The alternative addition I would recommend is to make sure to really get client buy - in before the workshop . This can be achieved by showing case studies where the initial problem the client approached us drastically shifted but at the end delivered more customer value . But it is crucial to get the customer behind and make him understand your thinking .

### Input: Reflection on Mind Mapping
Challenge As a Business Consultant in the IT industry it is my constant challenge to engage with clients in the most productive and expedient way possible . Also , there is no ‘ typical ’ challenge as customers , their stories , industries , and topics often change . But I would say it is quite common that clients think they know what they want and jump into conclusion although , they actually do not know what they really need . It is just their first , or most obvious , guess . Often this is realized to late in the engagement when time and money has already been wasted . So , the challenge is how to overcome this and figure out what really matters to the client beforehand .

I am managing maintenance team in technical department of mobile operator . We have sales
issue in certain geographical area because of network degradation . So we kicked - off a project to enhance this area ’s KPIs to be able to acquire new customers and obtain 10 % revenue increase . That should be achieved of network availability enhanced by 20 % within the current resources restrictions . Management set 3 months due date to achieve this target . Area nature has two main obstacles ; 1st is the electricity repeated problems and that controlled by the government , 2nd is internal factors ( budget , resources competencies , process delay , spare parts management … etc . )
2- Selection
Mind mapping is the most tool close to engineering thinking , so we decided to use this useful
tool .
3- Application
First , we defined our challenge and previously noticed inefficient solutions . Analysis was
previously prepared from network and market point of view . Second , we generated lots of ideas to overcome the current degradation . We did not judge any of them . Plenty of ideas came up after about 2 hours of discussion start . Third , we proceeded with assumption testing and tried to test these ideas by applying to historical data and/or technical tools . Finally , we applied the wow ideas and noticeable enhancement showed in the first 1 week .
4- Insight
Design thinking tools has a very structured techniques that helped me reach outcomes
quickly and efficiently . The concept of testing new ideas is totally new for me . I used to protect my idea and apply it either it is tested or not .
5- Approach
Next time I would pass through the same tool steps but more quickly . We learnt now how to
generate , select , and test ideas efficiently .

Challenge : A large team was established from every departments to challenge the processes of PET ( positron emission tomography ) products such as PDG , FLT etc . We produce and sell FDG for a long time . And there are 3 Rival Firms . The half life of the isotope is 1,83 hours and this so limited for delivering and usage . The efficiency of the productions are not stable . And the most difficulties on the logistic operations . We need to create a new FDG that is different from others . We asked to this team “ How will new FDG be in future?”The teammates are chosen from different departments to get a different insights .
Selection : In order to tackle the issue , The team visit every step on the processes to see how FDG is produced and delivered . Team saw the dificulties of ths production , and delievering operations . Sales orders are getting in all time includes midnight and holidays . Export operations and airway operations are done in a short time . And these operations should be in legacy . The effect of the radioactivity on these operations are seen . All team joined to all of these operations .
Insight : this team ; It was a very serious and innovative work that he pondered to produce and sell in a different way under all these difficult conditions and long - term habitual habits . Team members developed themselves by having to leave their comfort areas .
Approach :
If I wanted to try this exercise again , I would make the workers go deeper . To change this approach , I 'll start with personal story - building and then transform them into real - world situations to show how they interact within career boundaries . For example , businessmen and engineers have completely different paths to their professional positions , but they often interact in the business world . This will help to apply the concepts that careers are not separated by difficult limits , but are all part of a large community .

1 . Challenge & Selection
The tool I like the most , is visualization . I think it gives the people around the challenge a deep understanding of the problem itself , and brings up other factors that could be useful to achieve a solution . I am a college student , I do n’t work yet , but that does n’t mean this tool is only for big enterprises or the government . Along this course , I was able to identify many situations in daily life that can be worked based on visualization , or visual thinking . In this reflection , I would like to talk about sports , in particular , football . I know you might say that sports are a subject completely different in relation to what we saw in this course , but learning all the concepts and the way of thinking in order to make solutions efficient , the idea that came to my mind , was the similarities of being a leader and applying this method in the team . I have been playing football for 15 years , and not only I love playing , but I have been raised by the lessons and values obtained on this beautiful sport . The main problem I identify in this idea ; is the way we can make that a large group of people works in unison in order to become a great team . I am the QB , so my purpose is to make this type of things not only possible , but the modus operandi every single day . The way we work till the 2018 season was good , but not good enough . We affront different types of problems , like gathering people of distinct social and economics levels in one group , avoid selfishness above everything , responsibility in every single action we make , discipline in order to grow as players and persons , and take away the pride for achieving a larger goal .
2 . Application
I started the process in the 2009 offseason by creating a space of reflection and visualization for all the members of the team , including coaches , medical department , and even the general staff . More specifically , an hour a week where the group can put its mind together to create new ideas or to solve any setbacks to achieving the main goal , championship . My idea was to gather all the people that surrounds the players in order to work in the same channel , not only on the field making big plays , but in the entire organization . First , I divided this session in 5 groups along the week , the team ’s captains were distributed in each group , as well as the coaches . Second , the team was divided randomly , taking apart the so common rivalries offense vs defense , also the different economic and social standards . The medical and general staff was part of the same procedure . The 5 groups that worked in week 1 , never repeated , each week the people around the group was assigned to a different one . Having this said , now the work starts . Each session , I asked every member to draw a picture or tell a story , as they prefer , based on two questions ¿ How you feel right now ? and ¿ How you visualize at the end of the season ? With these answers we can do a deep analysis of the relation of the people´s work with the attitude and visualization about the future . I think the visualization is fundamental when you gather a group that might not know each other as well as your best friend , but have a goal in common . When everyone in the session has shared his thoughts about the questions above , then we get to question ourselves ¿ What would you change in order to make the visualization possible ? I did n’t ask to share these answer , I preferred to make more an impact on reflection in each one of them . Then , finally I asked ¿ Where do you see yourself in the next week , what things you think you might have accomplished , do you see yourself closer to the goal ? The purpose of this final questions is to make things real . I know everyone has goals , and we can say whatever we want , but what are the things that you really do in order to achieve goals ,
are you willing to change your attitude to accomplish the purposes of each week , getting a step closer each week to the main objective . These sessions not only helped to identify feelings and attitudes surrounding the team , but also to help each other as the season takes part . The drawings and stories told in each week were saved in a locker , and each week I gave them the visualization of the last session to create an impact of reflection of the thoughts shared by them . The results came along each and every single week , the team gathered together as one , not only being empathic and sharing the same attitude , but creating a mindset that gave us excellent results . Unfortunately , we were only one step away for achieving the goal , as we lost the final game in OT . But comparing results with other years , we were a much better team . In 2014 , we had a record of 2 - 6 , in 2011 we had a 3 - 5 , in 2012 4 - 5 . This year we won 8 games , lost 1 in regular season , stats proved we were the number one offense and number two defense . So , yeah , I think the visualization helped us grow as a team .
3 . Insight
What I have learned from conducting this new exercise in the organization is that the understanding of problems is the first step to visualizing the solutions . The sessions helped to create a mindset around the team , but to gather a group of people and make them understand that a problem of one single member of the team , is the problem of each one of us , is priceless . Identifying problems is so difficult for many people , that can mislead a whole team to a different attitude each day . Visualizing and reflecting one hour a week can bring huge results , I ca n’t imagine doing this two or three times a week , we could be unstoppable . Unfortunately , we do not live from playing sports , we play for love . Anyway , in my opinion design thinking is not only for enterprises or governments , my case is the true example that can be applied to almost anything in our lives if we give the right approach .
4 . Approach
I discovered that the most valuable asset in the growing of a group of people , in my case , a football team , is learning how you approach a problem and learning from it . As I said before , we only have the tools and time to do the session once a week , but if I had the chance to make this progressive , definitely two or three sessions would be ideal . Sometimes we do not realize that visualizing and having a deep reflexion of what is in my hands to solve a problem and where do I see myself doing in order to accomplish it , is the first and huge step to achieve goals in our daily lives .

Challenge
With this COVID-19 pandemic problem , in which many companies have decided to continue their activities from each employee ’s home , it ’s been kind of difficult to explain some procedures and ways of doing the job correctly . Right now I ’ve been taking some capacitation in the area I work to improve my knowledge and be able to help in more activities , so I have to find a way in which , although we are far from each other , I can learn my duties correctly and , in the future , be able to teach them to whoever needs to , too .
Selection
The visualization is a method in which you try to show graphically what you are explaining , so when you are demonstrating what you have to say , there is no space for ambiguity or misunderstanding , which turns into a better way of being in the same page with your listeners / readers .

Searching the best way to learn and memorize quickly and efficient my new tasks , I had to find a helpful tool or way to keep growing as an employee fast , so I decided to put in practice something my boss taught when I was just hired , which was to take screen shots and underline the important things on my notes so it may be more visual and easy to understand , view , apply and learn .
So now that I ’m taking this “ course ” , I ’ve decided to ask my colleague to show
me his screen to take screen shots on each new window so I may have notes which I may be able to look after whenever I do n’t remember the next step and there may be no space for a mistake .
Insight
I remember that when I started working , I entered the area with a lot of job to do , so I had to be fast finishing my tasks to help my colleagues with whatever may come up , so my boss taught me this technique and I have my files saved so , when I had a doubt , instead of running to a colleague or my boss , I just looked after the next step and continued with my work .
Later , a new colleague was hired and I sent him these files to help him adapt
fast to our pace of working , so it became helpful for him to understand the processes .
Approach
Next time , maybe I will add some few notes because , even though the screen shots are very helpful , it may be subjective the way of reasoning the process , but with the notes explaining each step , it may be a little more logical to whoever may use it after me .

### Input: Reflection – Visualization
Challenge
With this COVID-19 pandemic problem , in which many companies have decided to continue their activities from each employee ’s home , it ’s been kind of difficult to explain some procedures and ways of doing the job correctly . Right now I ’ve been taking some capacitation in the area I work to improve my knowledge and be able to help in more activities , so I have to find a way in which , although we are far from each other , I can learn my duties correctly and , in the future , be able to teach them to whoever needs to , too .

PP : Marketing is less about money and more about connecting to humans on the receiving end . Successful marketing campaigns touch the hearts and souls of the audience . Instead of purely going by quantitative market research numbers , imagine if you get qualitative data from design research that lets you empathize with potential customers . Imagine if you can understand not only how much they would pay for something , but why they buy something .
Another big component of design thinking is storytelling . Being able to craft your message around human needs on top of product features allows you to connect to your audiences at a more personal level . Ads that make the audience laugh or cry are much more powerful compared to ones that only talk about product features and cost savings .
How Marketers Can Apply Design Thinking To Their Work
TT : How can marketers , especially CMOs , apply design thinking to their work ?
PP : Here are a few strategies you can employ in your work . Again , these are more like mindsets to be in , rather than prescriptive steps to follow :
1 . Human First : Think of your customers beyond just numbers .
Be curious about their feelings , hopes , fears , and the unique stories they have to share with you . Once you get to know and empathize with them , you may think of your product and how you market it in a completely different light . Combine qualitative design research with quantitative market research , and your intuition for marketing decisions will be much better informed .
2 . Flare - Before - Focus : In design thinking , we use divergent
thinking , or “ flaring , ” methods to discover opportunities and explore ideas . This includes gathering a wide range of user stories to better understand the opportunity space , as well as going for quantity and deferring judgement when brainstorming . Once you have a myriad of themes or concepts in front of you , use convergent thinking or “ focusing , ” methods to narrow down choices and make informed decisions . Knowing when to flare and focus will certainly get your creative juices flowing while getting the project done within time and resource constraints .
3 . Make - To - Think : Imagine investing in a big campaign push ,
only to discover that it did n’t resonate with your customers after having spent so much time and resources on it . In product
design , we have a similar problem , where the cost of failure significantly increases further along the process . One of the ways to lower these risks is by constantly testing our hypotheses , by making our concepts tangible and testable with users from the early stages until the very end . Knowing how to give and receive feedback , using “ I like … ” and “ I wish … ” statements together , leads to a culture of openness and constant improvement .
How Coca - Cola and Volkswagen Incorporated Design Thinking Into Their Storytelling
TT : Can you name a few brands that have successfully incorporated design thinking into their creative and marketing efforts ?
PP : One campaign that sticks out in my mind is Coca - Cola ’s Happiness Machine campaign . There ’s something very human and authentic about it . The Coke machine is something very familiar to most people , and to use it in a candid , unexpected , yet scrappy way is quite ingenious . The candid camera angles capture the joy and happiness of those in the video , which in turn , connect to my emotions as an audience watching the video .
YouTube : Coco - Cola Happiness Machine Campaign
Another campaign that resonates with me is Volkswagen 's Fun Theory , specifically their Piano Stairs one . Again , it feels very human and candid . But I particularly like the question they pose in the beginning : “ Can we get more people to choose the stairs by making it fun to do ? ” The piano staircase is a very tangible prototype , and throughout the video , you can see how the passers - by prefer it over the escalator . And while the campaign itself has little to do with VW ’s cars , the “ Fun Theory ” does give the brand a boost for human - ness and wit

VISUALIZATION TOOL
1 . Challenge : Describe your challenge , including all relevant information .
The challenge I set myself was related to a job I had to do at the university , therefore , it helped me a lot to get the information I needed . My work group and I had to design a food product that could solve one of the main problems that students went through , which was that they did not eat properly when they were in university due to various irregularities that existed in the university cafeterias , and this consequently affected their studies since they felt tired and without energy . To do this , as a group we established a schedule in which each of us would go on a certain day and time to observe what was really happening in the cafeterias that affected the students ' feeding .
2 . Selection : In your own words , briefly describe the tool you selected ( e.g. ,
what it is and why you selected it for your challenge -- including any appropriate video lecture references ) . The tool I used was the visualization tool , since thanks to it I could observe and intuit , from images and scenes that I observed in the cafeteria , what was the origin of the problem we wanted to solve with our product . From that point on , and after each member of the group compiled graphic and written information , we were going to be able to identify what aspects and characteristics would be necessary to include in our product and obtain their acceptance .
3 . Application : Describe how you applied the tool you selected to your
challenge ( e.g. , what you did and how the tool was applied effectively or ineffectively ) . What I initially did with my work group was to establish a schedule in which each of us would go to observe the situation of each cafeteria on campus . Each one would keep a notebook in which we would write down relevant aspects that we observed at the time and that were important to consider demonstrating the existence of our identified problem and consequently the acceptance and viability of our product based on that problem . At the same time , we used cameras to graph and support the problem that we identified , we also conducted interviews with some students to validate what each one visualized and conclude if our intuitions were consistent with the true situation .
4 . Insight : Describe the insight you gained from applying the tool you selected
to your challenge ( e.g. , how an insight affected your thinking about the challenge and about design thinking more broadly ) . What we achieved with the exercise carried out was to validate the existence of the problem , that is , the causes that we had proposed in the first instance were affirmed by the agents involved . I believe that we were certain in this case since we are also part of the group that was observed for this challenge . We were also able to identify that although most of those interviewed and observed in the cafeteria confirmed our suspicions , there were many who totally contradicted our
point of view . This made us reflect and at the same time accept that there are different points of view that nurture the ideas that one already has and contrary to any negative aspect , it can significantly help in the development of any activity , in our case , in the development of our product . Closely visualizing our target audience helped us understand the situation and identify aspects that we were overlooking . The visualization also helped us to sustain our discussions on the subject , to identify the best plan to execute that can combine both the information we extracted from the observation and other tools used together with our ideas already proposed for the development of our product .
5 . Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the
same tool you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why . Based on the challenge that I set myself , what I could do next time is expand my viewing range to determine if the problem occurs throughout the day or if it only occurs at breakfast , lunch or dinner time , since This will allow us to collect more data for a better understanding of the problem .

Cost - o - vation in the Administration activities :
Innovation that gives your Customers exactly what they want and nothing more . Laptop instead of Desk top .
Example Reflection – Learning Launch
Challenge
I am a member of my organization ’s Procurement team and our Innovation team has challenged each member of the Organization for Cost - o - vation in the Administrative activities .
Cost - o - vation is the Innovation that gives our internal customers exactly what they want and noth- ing more .
Our Administration currently provides a Desk Top Computers to each employee . The current challenges of the Pandemic have made it imperative for employees to work from home .
The challenge is to introduce Lap Top use by employees in place the current Desk Top to increase the efficiency .
Will focus on trying to uncover what the internal customer considers exactly what they want .
Selection
Having gone through several design thinking , I am ready to try learning launch tool . The learn- ing Launch is a tool to quickly test an idea .
Application
In the first phase of design thinking process , I took a look at the current reality ie “ What is ” . In doing so , I amassed data on the current situation . I wanted to see if I could influence an idea which could give our internal customers exactly what they want and nothing more .
The first thing I needed was a hypothesis . I had got an idea , to relate to our internal customers that had this specific problem . They got a pain , a customer pain that I am going to try and solve . That 's what I think . So , the hypothesis is , offering Lap Tops to Employees . My idea meets that need better than the current alternatives because , Desk Tops are not suitable for Work from Home
For this I contacted some employees and got their view of the alternates that they considered as the best solution , with a short survey .
For the second learning launch I focused on gaining clarity about their view as to what amount they considered appropriate as compensation should the Organization decide that a onetime payment be made for the employees to buy their own Laptops , that they could use for Official work , with a short survey .
The process involved coming up with , what are my key customer execution and defensibility assump- tions . Learning launches involve figuring out what customer need is so burning that someone is going to buy your answer to that need . Most learning launches involve getting out there and talking to cus- tomers , very , very quickly . The purpose of a learning launch is to get the truth and then the truth either confirms or dis - confirms the assumptions . The truth is so important because in most cases the truth saves money or creates value for money . It must be true for me to have this urgent need to solve this problem . Why will the idea , under what circumstances will the idea be a bad idea ? Why will someone not buy this solution ? And I make a list of this , of disconfirming facts . I search for them either in conversation . I walk in the shoes of the potential customer ie . , the employees of the Organization . People with different mindsets bring different knowledge to the process .
If few of us are a team , and we go out , and we see and observe something , we will see something different . My cognitive processes will prevent me from seeing things which I do n't believe or know and so is applicable for others . A small , diverse is adequate So we 'll all see different things , and therefore , we 've got to share and collaborate .
My favorite person on the team is a skeptic . Skeptic is important to protect from confirmation bias . There was this situation as how many customers , potential customers do we need to talk to ? For the activity it was decided to divide the stakeholders into group of 5 - 6 participants each representing a different area of interest . Each group receives a poster - size copy that they can write on directly or use sticky notes to make comments . I give them two - three questions to answer . The learning launch is a success when they get several persons to say what the assumption were true . The ques- tions were open ended such as : 1 ) What key elements are missing in the current scheme of things ? 2 ) What change is required to improve the situation ? 3 ) What key insights do you have of the solu- tion . I give 20 minutes to each to discuss the questions . We thus begin a conversation
Insight As each group report out , I record the commonalities in the insights of each group I create a view that combines the shared and new insights . The more valuable aspect of the activity is the shared insights and shared learning that occurs while working to define the problem .
Approach If the assumptions we go out and gather facts , they 're more likely to be true or more likely to be true . If my idea is not suitable , which means I change my idea , amend it and keep going . Or put the idea in a trash can , while it 's not a real trash can , it 's a make believe because I put it on the shelf , because later it may be valuable .
A learning launch is not a failure so long as we learn something . Ideas are like sand on the beach : plentiful . There will always be more ideas . If a learning launch does n't work , so long as we are learn- ing , it 's not a failure , it 's not a mistake . I put my idea into hypothesis , figuring out our key assumptions . Customer , execution , design the test , do the test , confirming data we continue development . Discon- firming , I would pivot or put it on the shelf . How long 's it going to take and what it 's going to cost ? Learn- ing launches can be quickly and cheaply implemented .
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 .

The ques- tions were open ended such as : 1 ) What key elements are missing in the current scheme of things ? 2 ) What change is required to improve the situation ? 3 ) What key insights do you have of the solu- tion . I give 20 minutes to each to discuss the questions . We thus begin a conversation
Insight As each group report out , I record the commonalities in the insights of each group I create a view that combines the shared and new insights . The more valuable aspect of the activity is the shared insights and shared learning that occurs while working to define the problem .
Approach If the assumptions we go out and gather facts , they 're more likely to be true or more likely to be true . If my idea is not suitable , which means I change my idea , amend it and keep going . Or put the idea in a trash can , while it 's not a real trash can , it 's a make believe because I put it on the shelf , because later it may be valuable .
A learning launch is not a failure so long as we learn something . Ideas are like sand on the beach : plentiful . There will always be more ideas . If a learning launch does n't work , so long as we are learn- ing , it 's not a failure , it 's not a mistake . I put my idea into hypothesis , figuring out our key assumptions . Customer , execution , design the test , do the test , confirming data we continue development . Discon- firming , I would pivot or put it on the shelf . How long 's it going to take and what it 's going to cost ? Learn- ing launches can be quickly and cheaply implemented .
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 .

I run an online ecommerce fashion start - up . One of our most lucrative and economical ways of acquiring customers is Social Media . Over the past few months I have noticed our Social Media growth has slowed down and we are not getting as much engagement as some of our competing brands . I have decided to use design thinking and innovation to uncover what should we be posting on our channels to boost engagement .
Selection
The tool I have selected is visualization and to answer the “ what is ” part of the problem . Since the task at hand involves creativity and success of the activity will be by creatively coming to a solution by all stake holders . As Ms. Angela Myer mentioned in the lecture from week 1 “ Visualization allows us to think and access pasts our brain , part of our creativity we might not be using in conversation ” which is exactly what we needed .
Application
The first step to solve the challenge at hand was to gather all of the stake holders involved in the social media posting process and create a visual flow chart of how information flows to the customer from the organization . In addition to our in - house team we also asked one of our customers to join the conversation to provide their perspective . We began to create a flow chart by creating stick figures of our employees and putting the different information and content buckets in shapes and colours . The result of the exercise was as follows- The marketing manager provides the social media manager with the information of new launches and trending designs , the social media manager builds on it to provide an idea to the copy writer and the graphic designer who create the discussed idea and submit for approval to the social media manager who passes the creative along to the marketing manager . After the entire approval process the social media manager posts the content on to the different platforms that were represented in the shape of clouds . Finally , the content reaches the customer who chooses to engage or not engage .
Insight
Upon creating this visual , the problem was clear and the entire team started to discuss possible solutions . Unanimously the entire team agreed that the problem was n’t just what we should be communicating to the customer but more importantly how we should be communicating . The visual representation forced the team to see that the entire flow of information was complicated and inefficient . The team uncovered four major problems- First , the internal team felt the feedback loop was too long hence they were demotivated to provide feedback which would lead to substandard quality of graphics and content . Second , the information loop should be starting with the customer . We needed to listen and empathize to what the customer is saying so we can create content that customers can engage and relate to . Third , the social media manager did not feel empowered and felt the marketing manager needed to trust her to approve and post final graphics and fourth , we were posting
the same content on all platforms where the customers were completely different . We needed to tailor the content based on the audience .
Approach
The activity was highly beneficial for the team to see where we were going wrong and to improve the internal process . We plan to use the mind mapping tool to interview and segregate our customer profiles and personas so we can tailor our content and products accordingly .

Challenge My challenge was determining the reason for significant changes in demand in the first two
weeks of planning . I work in Supply Chain for a very large company . We recently implemented an Advanced Planning and Optimization ( APO ) tool for planning inventory levels in the field ( 300 locations ) and at our Distribution Centers ( 3 locations ) . At its core , the APO system helps us plan the right inventory , at the right place , at the right time , and in the right quantity . It does this by determining the target inventory levels based upon pre - defined settings ( parameters ) . These settings define how much inventory we want to store as safety stock ( inventory above exactly what is needed in case of fluctuations in demand ) .
The field orders inventory each week . For the first time , we were letting a system make these
order quantity recommendations for us . Since correct inventory levels are critical , we built in a two - day window where the field could review the system generated plans and adjust as needed . However , these adjustments were happening significantly and in multiple directions . During the review process some items were being increased while other were being decreased . To compound the issue , each of the three different departments ( Demand , Supply , Distribution ) were making changes to try and correct . These last - minute changes were causing us to send incorrect order quantities to the Manufacturers that have long lead times . This means significant changes happening each week would take months to correct .
Selection
The cause of the issue was not clear due to system complexity and multiple groups trying to
correct it so I ended up using most of the tools . Learning Launch was my last chance to find a solution . I started with Data Analysis but could not pinpoint the issue . I then went to the customer ( the field making the changes ) using Storytelling to understand what they were doing and why they felt like that was the right decision . This resulted in a handful of possible causes . The only way to know for sure was by making adjustments , understanding the impact , then iterating until something worked . Learning Launch let me fail fast to get to the correct solution by testing my hypothesis ’s .
Application I selected 10 locations to use Learning Launch with . This left the other 290 locations as a
baseline to compare against . The 10 locations were chosen based upon how they were making their adjustments . Some were making only a few changes while others were making the most . I initially met
with them as a group to introduce what I wanted to try . I reviewed what I was seeing , what the system was trying to do for them , and walked them through why the system was making the recommendations it was .
I then met with each location weekly during their adjustment window . Instead of them adjusting
their orders to what they wanted , I adjusted the settings to them . This accomplished two things . First it confirmed that the settings were not correct for what the field wanted . Second , it built trust in the system for the field . After several iterations , the system reached a steady - state of un - adjusted , system generated orders . Absolute quantity adjustments went from over 70 % each week to under 5 % resulting in fewer expedited orders and smoother signals to the Manufacturers . After a few weeks I convinced the field that inventory levels could be reduced to normal levels without the risk of running out . This led to a multi - million - dollar reduction of inventory levels in the field , especially important during times of constraint .
Insight Without Learning Launch I would not have been able to definitively settle on what was causing
the issue and implement the correct solution . By making the changes , reviewing the results , then making additional changes each week I determined not only that the settings ( not demand or other factors ) were causing the issue but which ones and how to resolve them long term .
Approach
I was using most of these tools before knowing about Design Thinking so some of my
approaches were not technically sound . In a similar situation I would use the full suite of tools to better document the journey of discovery for future use . The use of Learning Launch in itself would not have solved this issue but was absolutely key in its final resolution .

Challenges and Selection
Storytelling helped me in the previous work where I worked as a LifeStar ! Facilitator and Employment coach . My tasks were to empower young women who have dropped out from schools ; some were victims of sexual harassment , rape , family abuse and HIV orphans . As you can understand empowering this group of people was not easy because their lives were in vain . I used storytelling , dividing them into small groups and conduct a storytelling session helped them to identify their potential and discovered their ability to use their strength to start a small business or secure a new job . My story opened up their thoughts and they find that they also have stories to share . Each member of the group was supposed to tell us a story and other member could help her in identifying her strength and weakness , they also provide constructive feedback on how each participant can work on her weaknesses , as well as use her strength . My participants were so happy and they liked storytelling a lot . Currently I use storytelling in problem identification in research project with my students . I use this to help them identify problem that need to be worked on . I also use storytelling in my professional development , sharing stories with my elder in my career , it helps me a lot in to visualize the best way to go in a certain circumstance .
Application
I have testimonies about using storytelling , even Jesus himself used the same approach in teaching His disciples . I used this method when I wanted to help one of my colleagues who wanted to start a business of smart agriculture , I told him of a story of one friend who started a business of agriculture in the eastern province of my country , she wanted to grow pepper , then due to her limited time she invested a lot of many in irrigation . After six months she harvested 1 ton of pepper , but the revenue she got from her investment was small . As I was narrating this story the friend sked me a lot of question about irrigation . I told him that irrigation can be automatized . It turned out that He decided to invest In irrigation instead of agriculture because he later found that he can gain pretty much money from irrigation than In agriculture
Insight & Approach
It is wonderful , because the story opened up his eyes , and through the talk we had we found out that he can get sponsorship from development fund . I told him how my brother got a fund in development fund because he has been able to identify a problem that farmers are facing and developed a business plan which he submitted applying for fund . The Development fund gave him 4 million and 30 % of the fund was a supporting fund whereas the remaining 70 % was a loan to be paid back in 4 years at low interest . As I speak now the story we share open up the mind of my colleague who wanted to invest in irrigation . Since then I have developed a culture of storytelling with my friend and from there we discuss what we learned from the story . This is a useful tool to use in design thinking when you are still defining the problem , or designing the solution as a product or a service , or developing the suitable solution before you deploy it to the market

An area that is quite dangerous as well as hazardous due to the prevailing armed conflict among impatient and unreasonable belligerents . The conflict has also created a significant space for opportunistic violent crimes affecting all employees both from the local community as well as expatriates . More concerning however , is the fact that the locals are more exposed in their various communities / residences to the violence than the expatriates who resided and worked in secure and protected facilities . The effect of the violence is further felt – due to the breakdown of law and order and more importantly due to the fact that there was very poor security / police response to support locals screaming for help / support to a pre – established Call Centre with a response force especially during criminal attacks targeting them . Unfortunately , the effectiveness and efficiency of the response force was very low due to limitations in manpower , weapons , police response force had no zeal to support calls for help simply due to the little wages they received , residences of locals were widespread and even in non – accessible areas , amongst a host of other issues . Selection : Due to the complexities involved , this problem was classified as a unique “ wicked ” problem as against the “ tame ” linear and easily resolved problems . As such it required a broader and more human ( or user ) centric approach . With a view to gathering data , the ethnography process was used – we dug deep into understanding the needs , wishes and behaviors of the users as well as other stakeholders ; that is the locals , police , drivers , weapon suppliers , Government civil contractors etc . This revealed the utmost need to expand the problem and innovate the entire business model . The journey mapping was used to specifically address issues by digging deep into the problem . Journals were handed over to interviewees for a period of a week . Subsequently , in an effort to develop the data collected into insights – the mind mapping tool was used . This was clearly because – we required the involvement of a broad spectrum of stakeholders in a process that distills the data into insights . It was intuitive and as visual as possible to ensure ideas and some criteria are generated into the “ what if ” . Application / Insight :
In my application phase , I made sure I gathered all data , identified a large spacious area and more so scheduled date and time for all stakeholders to be present . An incentive was given to all 25 stakeholders – to ensure buy in from their very busy schedules . The data included valid concerns of the emergency response and huge expectations by the locals . Much of the data ( on quick examination ) may have been quickly thrown in the trash – due to its probable non – feasibility . We immersed ourselves in the problem and selected the good and the “ currently un - usable ” stuff . Stakeholders were able to connect themes into clusters while also not trashing “ outliers ” . Thereafter , we had to ask ourselves – so what ? For example – one of the data gathered revealed that there were ethnic divisions that limited response by certain police deployments to certain areas . An interviewee had wished that this division ceased . In another , a local had a strong opinion that the police response force were the actual criminals . We asked – so what ? And we used such questions to develop insights . For example – if there were actual criminals – then we needed to ensure actions were taken to rid the response force of perpetrators if confirmed and more so ensure an in - depth training is conducted . More so , the provision of incentives and increment of wages were clear insights . A set of basic design criteria was thereafter developed . Approach : I realized that there could have been much more data that I could have gained from paying more attention to the “ what is ” step – especially by considering more time for such ethnographic surveys . Consideration could have been given to a competent company with experience in collecting such data for in - depth results . As such data collected forms the foundation for the mind mapping tool . More so , clear guidance was not properly given to the stakeholders on the development of the conditions the solutions must meet or satisfy in order to resolve the problem . It was a great learning time as I decided to stay in the question and dig deeper – rather than proceeding to the next stage of the “ what ifs ” .

It was intuitive and as visual as possible to ensure ideas and some criteria are generated into the “ what if ” . Application / Insight :
In my application phase , I made sure I gathered all data , identified a large spacious area and more so scheduled date and time for all stakeholders to be present . An incentive was given to all 25 stakeholders – to ensure buy in from their very busy schedules . The data included valid concerns of the emergency response and huge expectations by the locals . Much of the data ( on quick examination ) may have been quickly thrown in the trash – due to its probable non – feasibility . We immersed ourselves in the problem and selected the good and the “ currently un - usable ” stuff . Stakeholders were able to connect themes into clusters while also not trashing “ outliers ” . Thereafter , we had to ask ourselves – so what ? For example – one of the data gathered revealed that there were ethnic divisions that limited response by certain police deployments to certain areas . An interviewee had wished that this division ceased . In another , a local had a strong opinion that the police response force were the actual criminals . We asked – so what ? And we used such questions to develop insights . For example – if there were actual criminals – then we needed to ensure actions were taken to rid the response force of perpetrators if confirmed and more so ensure an in - depth training is conducted . More so , the provision of incentives and increment of wages were clear insights . A set of basic design criteria was thereafter developed . Approach : I realized that there could have been much more data that I could have gained from paying more attention to the “ what is ” step – especially by considering more time for such ethnographic surveys . Consideration could have been given to a competent company with experience in collecting such data for in - depth results . As such data collected forms the foundation for the mind mapping tool . More so , clear guidance was not properly given to the stakeholders on the development of the conditions the solutions must meet or satisfy in order to resolve the problem . It was a great learning time as I decided to stay in the question and dig deeper – rather than proceeding to the next stage of the “ what ifs ” .

Challenge Once , I was talking to a group of friends ( between the ages of 17 - 21 ) and they came up with the following topic : Mental Health . We were talking via FaceTime because we are on lockdown due to COVID-19 . The thing is that we could n’t figure out what were we all missing , what was the actual problem behind the way we were feeling : sad , unmotivated and anxious . I saw an opportunity . But first I needed to know that we were n’t the only ones feeling this way . Selection & Application
I decided to ask my close friends on Instagram ( a small group of people in the age of 17 - 21 ) if they were feeling unmotivated , without energy and sad . Most of them say yes ( 94 % ) . We realized that something was happening . So , decided to continue . I posted the following story with the sentence : “ Can you describe how you were feeling before the Pandemic and now ? Express yourself as you want to ( pictures , collages , drawings , writing , etc ) ” . I selected this tool ( Visualization ) so they could express themselves in whatever way they felt the need to . It was going to be more useful to fully understand them and the way they were actually feeling ( we could even analyze the colors used ) than if they were trying to say it only with words . They answered immediately . Again , on FaceTime with my team ( the group that started the discussion ) , we started to figure out what they were trying to say . We discovered not one but several patterns . I started mind - mapping to understand the ideas better . Because we are still on lockdown , we ca n’t just go outside and exercise or hang out with friends . They were all unmotivated because as they could n’t even go outside , their brains could n’t find anything to do besides going on the different social media apps to kill the hours . Insight & Approach Finally , my team could figure out what were all the things that these young adults were missing thanks to these tools . Thanks to the visualization tool they could express themselves in the way they needed to ; and by mindmapping we could get all the data together and find the patterns that lead us to possible solutions . We worked together ( the team and the group that we selected ) all the time to keep the feedback . Also , we showed them what we came up to so they could actually see what they were trying to express . A percentage of them replied that they felt identified with some feelings that someone has expressed , but they have n’t realized until then . The team agreed on the creation of an Instagram account ( we needed something social media based due to how and where they spend most of their time and to interact more with them ) that gives young adults advices on how to focus and study , fun activities , some exercises , tips and DIYs , and more ( of course , everything at home ) . We all agree that the visualization tool is a great tool to truly understand a person , so I do n’t think we will be changing that any time soon . We will keep this tool as the starter
point because it actually works when you need to understand something that people ca n’t even express through words .

As a curriculum developer and teacher I use design thinking techniques to create engaging courses for my students . In my history class , I chose “ Storytelling ” technique which align well with the subject matter and design thinking as this subject needs high level of empathy hence storytelling as an “ essential human activity ” for sharing experiences , explaining values , and deciding on solutions through vivid verbal and visual accounts was the best fit for the class . Storytelling technique helped to explain the interconnections among situations and settings and the people in different epoch of history . It facilitated my class by teaching broad lessons that engaged students . And as empathy was a key factor of understanding history hence storytelling by improving the power of listening was an essential and fundamental component in the process .
Application
I used the storytelling process by creating different Role Playing Games for specific events in the history book and created stories for that to be read and apply in the game . This way not only the students had fun playing game , engaged in deep learning and flow but meantime , the power of storytelling through game helped the students to understand the events and situations better and be able to visualize the condition of people in specific settings . As an example :
For the World War 2 event I created the WWII role playing game by the help of the students ( characters and map ) and all together we created a story of the whole event in order to be able to play . It began by identifying the problem , in the case of narrative : what is the idea or the meaning we were trying to convey ? In narrative terms this is known as the Controlling Idea was the hardest part of the process . We refined the complex event into an essence that is simple and yet loaded with meaning . During the gameplay which lasted whole term ( 3 months ) we developed the story based on ideas and events we later learned about WWII event . As the first draft designed the way to have the space to grow , through stories questions generated by the students that expanded the breadth and depth of story , leading to lots of innovative thoughts and ideas . It became an important tool for feedback , which was the basis of the iterative process of problem solving that lead to solutions . The story explained and repositioned experiences through a multitude of potential interpretations , which allowed students to test new solutions before committing exclusively to a particular move or decision in the game .
Insight and Approach :
On the other hand , storytelling helped me to understand my students better by listening to and empathizing with their difficulty to understand and empathize . I gained enormous insights that helped me to navigate the academic challenges they faced from the time they started the game till the end . My goal as a teacher was to bring my students to their profound understanding in the most interesting way possible . What I realized was that in the process of designing the story , they often reached a moment at the climax and this excitement often
distract them from the main purpose of the class which was understanding the event through gameplay and storytelling . Hence the gameplay through story mostly lead to subjectively analyze the event based on interpretation without really understanding the purpose . Due to this issue for the next class I plan to objectify the narrative to make it easier to create stories with intention , and easier to apply specific narrative devices in careful ways and keep the ideas organized .

I work for a communication company and my / our challenge is to improve and increase the portfolio product in order to increase worldwide sales and to spend marketing budgets on the right campaigns .
The project scope consists in a new product launch and includes the R&D department , engineering department , marketing department , and other company departments that has to work closely for many days and months to reach the assigned target . R&D and marketing departments start from ideas and hypothesis to improve the company product but not all of these will be considered .
Selection
Our teams , after already gone through several design thinking activities / tools like customer interview , market research , production / sale feasibility , realized a couple of samples and are ready to try the new product .
Application
For our first launch , we focused on the execution of in factory test to verify if the new product works and is comply with the design thinking activities . After passed all the in factory test we are ready to present the new product in the market , at that point , our team went through fairs and workshops , use newspaper and press to present the new product to our historical customers and to potential new customers .
For our second launch , we gave some samples to our historical customers with the focus on test all the functionality of the new product . The result of this stress test allowed our team to better understand if the new product is a valid product and if it was necessary change something or implement new functionality before the mass production .
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool , our team identified assumptions and designed launches to test these assumptions . Additionally , we thought through anticipated results , expecting to find that these approaches would improve our workflow , and that both our team and the key stakeholders would be fairly open to the new prioritization of tasks and process . Our actual results were slightly different from what we anticipated : while our team was open to the prioritization of tasks and process , the key stakeholders in the larger marketing department expressed some concerns . Moving forward , our team reviewed these insights and incorporate it into the mass production launch designs .
Approach
As our team has already done several design thinking activities / tools , launching learning is the appropriate tool . As previously mentioned , our team needs to review the information gained from our first two launches and incorporate it prior to mass production . Future launch plans should reflect the information gained and the progress made .

Challenge
Through school and college , being part of various teams under various projects . I had always been taught to achieve the next best thing . The focus had always been to look at the problem and solve it by the set methods . This always hindered my creativity and did not allow me to participate enough in the activities . It seemed as if there was a disconnect among the team members and even the stakeholders . So , when I started working on a project with my peers as part of my masters ’ degree curriculum . I decided to use storytelling as a tool to help us interact with each other and most importantly the stakeholders involved in the project .
Selection
Our team too had realised that not being involved enough led to lower morale in their previous experiences . So , we collectively decided to use storytelling as a tool to be more inclusive of ideas , building relationships , and interests .
Application
Before we started looking for any ideas , we decided to focus on who we are as a team . It allowed us to open up to each other and connect on a deeper level . This process was enriching in ways we could not imagine . Understanding what our needs were , made us feel seen , the disconnect and the low morale were not there anymore . It did not end there , we decided that to have a conversation , engagement of our stakeholders was important . We dug deep to be what made our stakeholders feel seen and even part of a bigger conversation . From start to finish , like every good story , we conveyed through our project what was important to our stakeholders . This tool allowed us to be more creative , tap into those strengths and weaknesses to create a new way of interacting with those around us rather than sticking to textbook methods and solutions .
Our project involved interviewing people from different income groups , sexual orientations , and ethnicities . As the group to be interviewed was very diverse , we focused on knowing them by listening to their stories and identifying their needs . We came up with a successful marketing plan that solved these problems as it solved not only took care of what us above the surface but below it as well .
Insight & Approach
My biggest takeaway from using this tool is that everyone , it does n’t matter it ’s a school- going boy or a CEO infirm , they all want to be part of the bigger conversation . Storytelling as a tool allows us to do just that . Storytelling is the tool that forms the foundation of every set of actions we take .

### Input: Storytelling
Challenge
Through school and college , being part of various teams under various projects . I had always been taught to achieve the next best thing . The focus had always been to look at the problem and solve it by the set methods . This always hindered my creativity and did not allow me to participate enough in the activities . It seemed as if there was a disconnect among the team members and even the stakeholders . So , when I started working on a project with my peers as part of my masters ’ degree curriculum . I decided to use storytelling as a tool to help us interact with each other and most importantly the stakeholders involved in the project .
Selection
Our team too had realised that not being involved enough led to lower morale in their previous experiences . So , we collectively decided to use storytelling as a tool to be more inclusive of ideas , building relationships , and interests .
Application
Before we started looking for any ideas , we decided to focus on who we are as a team . It allowed us to open up to each other and connect on a deeper level . This process was enriching in ways we could not imagine . Understanding what our needs were , made us feel seen , the disconnect and the low morale were not there anymore . It did not end there , we decided that to have a conversation , engagement of our stakeholders was important . We dug deep to be what made our stakeholders feel seen and even part of a bigger conversation . From start to finish , like every good story , we conveyed through our project what was important to our stakeholders . This tool allowed us to be more creative , tap into those strengths and weaknesses to create a new way of interacting with those around us rather than sticking to textbook methods and solutions .
Our project involved interviewing people from different income groups , sexual orientations , and ethnicities . As the group to be interviewed was very diverse , we focused on knowing them by listening to their stories and identifying their needs . We came up with a successful marketing plan that solved these problems as it solved not only took care of what us above the surface but below it as well .
Insight & Approach
My biggest takeaway from using this tool is that everyone , it does n’t matter it ’s a school- going boy or a CEO infirm , they all want to be part of the bigger conversation . Storytelling as a tool allows us to do just that . Storytelling is the tool that forms the foundation of every set of actions we take . It is highly insightful , interactive , and impactful as it allows us to involve those around us . Instead of bombarding the stakeholders with information , Storytelling as a tool for design thinking allows us to engage them with us more intimately while keeping in check their personal goals , ambitions , and needs .
This tool allowed me to unlearn concepts that were ingrained into me while growing up . I ’m grateful to have learned to have a different outlook on the problem at hand .

Challenge & Selection :
The primary instrument I utilized was the apparatus of Visualization , or Visual Considering , to realize a shared understanding of a issue space among a differing gather of partners some time recently endeavoring to recognize and characterize conceivable arrangements to the issue . I utilize this approach frequently with our clients , who are government offices working to
apply innovation advancements to modernize their mission or the conveyance of their administrations to their client , which may be U.S. citizens , businesses , and non - citizens . I
have utilized the method of employing a straw man visualization of a issue space with a set of questions or prompts for discussion to permit a different gather of partners to memorize from each other within the handle of characterizing the scope , boundaries , key components ,
and connections between components to consider
when distinguishing torment focuses and openings for advancements or solutions .
Application
I begin the method by making a straw man realistic of the issue space . To create the straw man realistic , I will draw from any existing fabric accessible to get it the environment . The existing fabric may be operational or procedural archives , preparing materials , showcasing materials , GAO or
other examining reports . On the off chance that materials are not accessible , at that point I conduct casual interviews with one - three of the partners who serve as my fundamental focuses of contact on the activity .
In the event that suitable to the circumstance , I will borrow the concept to “ front - stage / back - stage ” from past investigate , and examined in David Gray ’s book , “ The Associated Company ” . The front- stage / back - stage approachmakes a difference to fortify the idea that each benefit – indeed an inside benefit – has clients with whom the benefit supplier interatomic and inside forms that empower the organization to supply the benefit . The format I often start with moreover contains a column on the left to distinguish Accomplices and Esteem Chain Suppliers and a column on the
correct to distinguish Oversight Organizations , such as Congress , GAO , labor unions , backing bunches , and other substances which will include limitations to how the organization works . The straw man realistic is basic , utilizing basic shapes and symbols accessible in Visio or on the Web . In case the front - stage / back - stage see does n’t work , at that point I will make a diverse sort of visual , either based on a high - level prepare stream with swim paths for diverse stakehold
For the action , I will partition the partners into bunches of 5 - 6 members each speaking to a diverse organization or range of intrigued . Each gather gets a poster - size duplicate of the straw man realistic that they can compose on straightforwardly , or utilize sticky notes to create comments . I give them two - three questions to reply , such as : 1 ) What key components are lost from the graphic ? 2 ) What would you alter approximately the realistic to form it more precisely reflect your issue space ? 3 ) What key experiences do you 've got around the connections between the substances in your issue space ? I provide them around 20 minutes to examine the questions and check up the realistic . At that point I have each bunch report out on their answers to those three questions whereas indicating to the mark - ups on their blurb . As each bunch reports out , I record commonalities within the bits of knowledge of each bunch , and after that extra bits of
knowledge that come from the bunch dialog on an extra duplicate of the realistic . After the session , I did Understanding & Approach What I have learned from conducting this work out with a few bunches is
that whereas the realistic – particularly the reexamined realistic that consolidates their input – is imperative for strengthening their understanding of the issue they are working to fathom , the more profitable perspective of the movement is the shared bits of knowledge and shared learning that happens whereas they are working to characterize their issue space . The realistic gives the different gather of partners a central point for discourse that permits them to share their viewpoints and create experiences into potential root causes of
their issues . Whereas they seem make the realistic from a clear slate in a collaborative way , beginning with a straw man bounce begins the discussion for them . They can rapidly recognize where they are within the realistic – or in case they are lost – and can more rapidly pick up modern experiences approximately relationships between
key substances rather than taking time to distinguish them . They
can moreover recognize factorsSince I found that the foremost important perspective is the shared bits of knowledge and learning , following time I would utilize the visualization action as a beginning point for a arrangement of plan considering exercises . At that
point the reexamined realistic that joins their combined input can serve as a reference device all through the leftover portion of their work .

Challenge
As a final project of my design career , we had to group search for a problem to be solved and carried it out . We decided to work with the same educational institution where we studied , where there was a clear problem : the students used the cell phone excessively at school , making it a distracting device . The authorities were extremely concerned about this issue , which was reflected in the decline in student academic performance and social relationships . Therefore , we were funded and tasked with finding a solution to reduce cell phone use and improve attention , performance , and students ’ relationships .
Selection
After an arduous investigation , where we had interviews with various specialists and where we were able to look for existing information on the subject in question , getting fully involved in it , we decided that it was time to try the learning launch . This tool helps to quickly and cheaply check ideas and prototypes , being able to see if the hypotheses are true .
Application
For our first learning launch , we wanted to check if the way we had approached the solution was the right one to make students reduce their phone use . Inspired by the flight mode that is used when we travel , we developed the " school mode " . This was activated instantly once the students connected to the school 's Wi - Fi network , and through it , social networks were blocked and only calls and messages could be received from essential contacts . We were able to verify what we believed : the constant notifications were those that encouraged students to be distracted by this device , so if they did not receive them , they were not tempted to use it . However , we could see that there was a problem : since searches were not allowed in the browser when they had to look for information during the class , one had to activate their mobile data . This not only disabled the “ school mode ” , but also made students lose focus with the notifications that reappear .
That is why we intended to modify this and it occurred to us to do so by changing the browser settings . We add the possibility that Internet searches can be made only in Google academic mode . Next , we did another learning launch to see if this change worked out well and prevented students from connecting to mobile data . Luckily , we were right and we could see perfectly how effective this modification was . Students were able to access internet searches without having to deactivate school mode and the results were much more appropriate and useful . We could perfectly verify that this was an efficient solution , which allowed young people not to isolate themselves using the cell phone and to be able to relate to each other , strengthening friendships .
Insight & Approach
By applying the learning launch tool , our team was able to verify our assumptions and improve the prototypes to find the most effective solution possible . Although we were pretty sure that the school mode was successful from the first moment , the learning launch made us realize
that we were not totally right and allowed us to see where we had failed . Not only was it extremely accessible to us to check our hypotheses and learn from our mistakes , but it allowed the team to realize what we had to modify . Despite being highly involved in the problem in question , the learning launch allowed us to see failures that we had not taken into account before launching the proposal officially . We saved money and improved the school mode exponentially and because of that , I would choose the learning launch tool again .

The tool that I used is Mind Mapping . I and my teammates work with underprivileged population who have financial problems to get nutritional foods . We had to identify why are they financially unstable . Is it because they are wasting their earned money or they do not have a job and etc . We used mind mapping because we need to identify the patterns in our data which is to identify their unmet needs and pain points .
Application
We spent our time looking for secondary data , since we were under lockdown due to COVID-19 , about the impacted stakeholder group . Once we have gathered all the related information , we will conduct meeting to find solutions based on the data we collected . Each of us must find two pain points . Then , we will share those pain points and cluster them if they are related as stated in Mind Mapping video in this course . We make use of the clusters that have been developed and come up with various strategies to try and find a way for it to function .
Insight & Approach
By applying the mind mapping tool , our team identified their pain points and made sure we can develop a strategy that will be pain reliever . The tool provides us with a focal point for discussion that enables us to share and develop insights into possible root causes of the pain points . What we found out was that most of them are unable to provide nutritional food to their families because the money they earned are used up for medical check - ups or education of their children .
I will use the mind mapping activity as a starting point for a series of design thinking activities in the future . The revised graphic which integrates the pattern of data and how each point are interconnected will then serve as a reference tool .

I joined my first workplace straight after completing my post graduation . I really enjoyed my work and the work culture there . It was a small organization where number of employees were under 3 figures and thus we were well known to each other . We knew our colleagues really well even outside our work life and we often used to hang out with each other over weekends . After 6 months , I switched my job to a reputed big private company which was supposed to be a huge step up for my career . I still remember my first day , I was so excited to meet new people , to learn new processes and to be part of such a reputed organization .
But after my first week , I got such a big cultural shock as my new workplace was not at all how I expected it to be . My colleagues here were more focused on their respective tasks and had barely any time apart to know the lives of other employees . It is quite common here that people do n’t even know the names of employees outside their departmen
Coming from a different culture , adaptation was a big problem for me and I knew that I have to address this if I want to continue my career here .
Selection
I discussed the problems I was facing with two colleagues of mine who were also finding it hard to adapt to this new culture . By going through different design thinking tools , we were able to notice that management had taken many steps earlier for team bonding of employees . Also looking at secondary data available , we noticed that having a lunch / dinner together event was most employee ’s favourite way to interact with other employees . After completing different tools we decide to test an idea as a learning launch .
Application .
We began our learning launch by organizing an informal getting together . Looking at the earlier events we realized that even though having food together was favourite way of team bonding for majority of employees , it was not a huge success because of heterogeneity of vast number of employees . Different people had different preference for food item , types , timings and availability . Also for management to rate their event as a success , they need maximum participation . We tested our idea with a small number which were already well known to us . We chose to have this event on Friday evening as most of office are done with their weekly tasks and thus more acceptable towards interacting with other employees . Instead of sticking to one type of food choice , we asked every person joining the event to bring a snack of their own choice . Thus . each Person joining was enjoying his / her own food preference and also sharing it with other joiners as well . Our main motive there was to make them feel that their choices matter and also experience the happiness of sharing their choices with fellow colleagues . We decided to continue testing with another event the next week . In that time , many employees heard good word of mouth about our approach and got interested . Our Second attempt was much more successful as the number of employees who joined was almost double . . They all brought their favourite food and spend enough time to interact with each other before leaving for their homes . As more people approached us for the event , we decided to have this event on a regular basis and with each week , number of poeple kept increasing .
Insight & Approach
Due to our testing , our colleagues became more open to each other . Employees reported that they felt much more productive and satisfied as they have something to look forward to after completing their work . Because employees now know each other on a personal level , integrity of different departments became more unified . Each department was now understanding personally and the impact other departments have on customers . People were also making sure that customer queries and problems meets the right person , even if he / she is outside their department . I learned through process that anyone can take steps to solve the problem in an organization even if you are not part of management . We took secondary data of management'searlier events and tried to resolve it . Our focus was not to have huge numbers to join for team bonding but to make sure those who did join , have a great time .
After successfully trying learning launch , we are now focusing on people who still do n’t attend our events . Most of employees in that category are of older generations from us , and we would use future launch designs keeping them as priority , So that soon we can make everyone come up for such employee engagement initiatives in our office ,

The vision of our project was to create an efficient employee management system whereby we could translate it to any organization witnessing low - levels of employees ’ satisfaction . My team and I , a group of 5 young experts in the field , truly believed that customer approval of any company can only be achieved through high employee satisfaction and fulfillment . Selection : We decided to use design thinking in order to achieve our aim , and we chose to use the learning launch tool . By definition , the learning launch tool is about making small , quick and smart experiences in order to test our hypothesis . Our testing ground was an 8 - year old well - established real estate development company , facing several customer issues as well as various employee problems . The project was limited to internal resources ( Financial and HR ) . As we had multiple ideas generated from different brain storming sessions , we decided that the learning launch tool was a good outfit to the situation . Application : On one hand , we preceded every learning launch by various interviews with employees and surveys ranking different aspects of the work nature and environment present in the company . And on the other hand , we tracked the progress by noting the differences between answers given by employees to numerous objective and subjective questions , before and after the learn launch . We divided employee satisfaction levels into three different sectors ( Personal , Social and Financial ) , and worked on improving each sector at a time , in order to finalize a model whereby all sectors were optimized , according to employees . For our first learning launch , after we evaluated the Personal Sector as being the most important , we focused on the work space of each employee – how it was decorated , where it was located , degrees of privacy / transparency , amenities in the office ( for breaks ) , cubicle / desk settings ( confortable seating , low visual pollution ) , etc … We devised a plan whereby we introduced or changed each item at a time , in order to track the impact and keep the motion and anticipation levels high . These smart changes as we like to call them , had a tremendous impact on employee satisfaction which brought us to our second sector , socializing . Our second learning launch focused on social needs of employees in the workplace and how it affected their behavior and efficiency . Thus , we introduced free online collaborative softwares , whereby all employees working on a similar project , could keep track , update and get further involvement in the project itself . This created more efficiency in the work and supplemented employees with social interactions . In addition we introduced a social plan of monthly outdoor activities , whereby we praised and practiced team work , in order to strengthen the bond and create long - term relationships .
Our third and final learning launch focused on the financial aspect of the work , a process which was poorly respected and managed by senior - level managers and directors . We introduced a new award system of project - related micro - bonuses and micro - raises on a monthly basis rather than yearly basis . The fast pace of this system was the reason of increase in efficiency during work - hours . Employees were more serious and respectful of the new award system and the workflow as it is . Insight : The learning launch tool helped us test various assumptions we had about improving employee satisfaction and helped us test our hypothesis in a quick effective method . The flow of data we gathered was paramount in our evaluation of each designed learning launch . Furthermore , we kept using these designs for months , testing the correlation between employee and customer satisfactions , assuming high association between both . Our results were not completely as expected , as little connection was accurately proved . However , we did see increases in customer satisfaction from the professional , yet relaxing and positive environment that is now existing and emanating from employees . Innovative ideas using design thinking was very helpful in helping and developing efficiency in employees , on a personal and professional level . Approach : Our team used this design thinking tool in a very keen way , resourcing and developing our insight further , applying it to different industries . Moving forward we might apply these designs on a broader basis ( designing learn launches uniquely to the various departments ) , testing several methods and systems into finally creating a unique long - term solution : fashioning the relationship between employees and customers on one hand , and employees , customers and organization on the other . Future launch designs should come closer to a full solution on this matter .

Background
DiaperXL is a Operation Management Software focus on Field Management . This software count with an online app ( a web page ) , two mobile apps , Androido and iOS a database and a full Report BI .
On this platform , the clients create their own forms and share them to their peers , this forms can be capture online or through their mobile apps . Once the information is capture , all the collected data can be worked on the online app or analyzed through reports .
The Challenge The product was design 4 - 5 year ago with one mine set , now that the product has find it ’s way through the market , the owners feel that the product concept needs to be rethink and renew .
Tool Selection I ’m going to use mainly the Visualization tool , because one of the main concerns is the UI / UX ( user interface and user experience ) , and I feel that this tool will help me realize some of the areas of opportunity on the UI / UX
What Is ? After talking to the CEO and CTO and hearing their concerns , my first step of my approach was to find out how clients were actually using the product .
For this I examine data of the uses that the clients were giving to the platform . We gather more than 15,000 forms , we arrange them into groups and we got our first Insight . The platform was been used on 6 different categories :
• Checklist / Inspections
• Service Orders
• Audits
• Task / To Do List
• Evidence / Record Tracking
• Catalogs
We also arrange the forms depending on how many records have been capture , in this way we could see what was the primary use of the platform .
Then we interview several client on their own context , as the platform is used in all the levels of the companies and in many industries we had to hand pick each interviewee to warranty diversity . We went to the interviewee context and saw how the use the tool , we learn what were the main pains and concerns . We use the Visualization tool on the client interviews , we took videos , screen shots and sketches of how the client use the platform
Insights & Approche We learn the main uses of the platform and categorized them 6 main categories : Checklist , Service Order , Audits , Task , Evidence and Catalogs . With this we are going to make a brainstorm of idea and find out What if ? We are going to place 6 different withe boards , each of them with the category name . We are going to hang them were all the company can see them and ask the emploeeys to use the We use Visualization on the client interviews , we took videos , screen shots and sketches of how the client use the Visualization tool write down , what they expect the of a software that resolve each of thoes categories . For example , we expect to see on the Task withe board something like this , I expect a task to have a due date , responsible or assignee , etc .
With the interviews , we learn that clients want or need :
• An easier way to search for records
• Can have a catalog for several uses like locations , assets , people
• Have a more complete permissions configuration .
• In line edit feature
• Bulk edit feature
• Once a record is capture or edit , don ’ t lose the previews search .
This insights will be use on the What if stage and then combine all the knowledge gather to pass at the What wow ’s . With all this info , we are going to have a better understanding of the client needs and make a new re- desing elements with a client empathic view .
I think that using a mind map could be very use full to organize the ideas and see the hole platform as a hole .

Challenge
I ’m creating a digital graphic novels , creating digital arts , making posts on social network pages . To organize my project tasks and plans it is important to see a general picture . Sometimes it is very hard keep in my all little tasks .
Selection
I saw how one famous IT tutor used in his lessons Mind Mapping tool . Mind Mapping is a tool which helps to see a whole and general picture . Through this software person can organize his work and tasks . Person can organize his mind tasks and can see big map of his current and future planned works . Mind mapping easy to use tool which help to person with his plans and projects .
Application
Mind Mapping is great tool , and it was very helped me with my project . I ’m still working on my project by using this tool . In my projects each tasks has multiple of subtasks . Like for example Promo arts works under this task there subtasks , promo art 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 … Under Promo art 1 there are another sub tasks like Text , Idea , Art . By this Mind Mapping tool can see all paths and tasks can control them .
Insight
After I add all little tasks into Mind mapping , I felt like now I can see everything and I can control and not forget about tasks . Plus it is very easy to highlight and add special symbols to the completed tasks . I can all tasks plus , what I liked it is easy to create tasks which are belong to some tasks , like subtasks . Like , after completing some subtasks you can work on tasks itself .
Approach
Definitely in a future I would use , more cloud Mind mapping sites , it more comfortable . You have access to open , add , edit and develop from different computers and places . But concept of Mind Mapping tool is great . It helps to easily see a whole picture . However , I believe the future is for Online Mind Mapping and I will use more bright colors because they give me positive future and present feelings .

Benefits of Mind Mapping
In the course we learned that mind mapping is an effective creative thinking tool
In its simplest form , a mind map is a collection of ideas that have been put into the format of a visual diagram . Starting with a central idea or topic in the middle of the map , branches radiate from the center containing further themes and concepts to be explored – typically in the form of words , short phrases , and images . This gives mind maps a natural organizational structure .
In a mind map , information is structured in a way that mirrors exactly how the brain functions – in a radiant rather than linear manner . It literally ‘ maps ’ out your thoughts , using associations , connections , and triggers to stimulate further ideas . They make it easier to extract your ideas from your head into something visible and structured .
Research shows that the brain likes to work on the basis of association , and it will connect every idea , memory or piece of information to tens , hundreds and even thousands of other ideas and concepts . This is why mind maps are beneficial for countless tasks .
Below , we will critically discuss how you can use mind maps to aid in various processes , such as memorizing information , conducting presentations and solving problems .
Mind maps involve a unique combination of imagery , color and visual- spatial arrangement which is proven to significantly improve recall when compared to conventional methods of note - taking and learning by rote . Ayoa ’s mind mapping tool is faithful to these beneficial
features , giving you the option to create quick box - style or highly creative maps with adjustable curvilinear branches , as well as add images and emojis , and change the color of your branches and text .
Mind maps really come into their own when it comes to encouraging creativity and enabling you to generate new ideas in brainstorming sessions . This is because the spatial layout of a mind map helps you gain a better overview , making new connections more visible so you can create an infinite number of thoughts , ideas , links , and associations on any topic . Adding images to a map can also aid in this process by acting as visual stimuli . Images are processed instantly by the brain , enabling us to quickly make associations and recall information
Mind maps are a great aid in learning for countless reasons . Because they encourage the brain to make associations between different keywords , phrases and images , they can be used by students to brainstorm ideas for creative projects ( either alone or within a group ) , as well as help them to plan and structure work such as essays , reports and presentations . Mind maps are also a great revision aid due to the fact that they can be used to break down complex information and improve memorization and recall .
Evidence shows that mind mapping can be used to help you plan and organize your thinking before you start writing or get stuck into a project . This is because you can use the technique to develop all your ideas and see where they relate to each other before deciding the best way to go about the task at hand .

Challenge and Selection
Market success sparks a clear engaging story . Storytelling creates authenticity . Authenticity connects to the behavioral design principle . It is the art of communicating eloquently and creating emotional connections with people . My dad is a talented artist and struggles to create a market for his paintings . I was inspired by the storytelling tool . My first question is ; How will I use storytelling to successfully connect my dad ’s paintings with potential customers ? According to the video reference ; ‘ Storytelling says it 's not about the list of things we have to do , it 's about the connection that we give to people about a piece of information that we 're trying to share .
The first consideration I have is the paintings themselves -- if they are abstract or otherwise interpretative , it would be prudent not to impose too much of a narrative upon them . If they are more representational , then it also depends upon the potential customers one is trying to seek ( for example , domestic or international ) I say this because appealing content will differ between cultural bases .
Another consideration is story content in relation to the artist -- whether abstract or representational , a narrative created by the artist becomes something altogether different and does n't necessarily compromise the work in any manner -- instead , it can augment the appeal of the work when the customer is provided with an understanding of the artist 's thought processes , daily travails , experiences , and so forth .
Application
I organized a small exhibition at home and used storytelling as a tool to build empathy and take the customers through a very real and personal journey of the artist . The painting titled “ Paradise ” is a vivid visual about the movement of waves against the rock ; an image of struggle , peace and happiness . I shared the story of the artist ’s childhood memory of skipping school and sitting atop a Danish Fort . He would smell the salty air and watch the movement of the waves feeling the initial volatility and immense peace and tranquility . The visuals created an element of mystery and intrigue . I played melodious music in the background . I endeavored to bring alive the feeling of initial struggle and then peace and happiness to the customers . The customers were encouraged to slow down , linger over the art and immerse in the stories and experience the artist ’s intriguing journey . The storytelling approach created an absorbing and immersive environment for customers to experience .
Insight and Approach
I thought about a different approach of engaging the customers in the storytelling process . How about getting customers to see what experiences or memories viewing the paintings triggered ? The visitors experienced nostalgia and a gamut of emotions that really helped them relate to the art . The customers were motivated to tell their own stories about what the vivid visuals evoked .
The whole exhibition became an interactive story telling of shared experiences . The customers felt that shared empathy of connection with the paintings . Most of the paintings depicted strong visuals of the sea . I talked to the visitors about how living near the sea inspired my dad to become an artist . He went through very real struggles to make his dream a reality . The strong movement of the ocean are a vivid description of that struggle . His parents refused to pay for his art education . He worked in many different jobs and completed six years of art school . The customers talked about how the ocean waves brought memories of their own struggle and how the waves of their lives eventually became tranquility and happiness . This created a feeling of shared understanding and strong connection with the paintings . The customers built a real personal connection with the paintings .
My dad is now inspired to make more paintings depicting stories . This course and the storytelling tool has helped me create a new dimension to his art . A totally immersive experience adding an interactive , empathetic element for future exhibitions .
This tool really helped me visualize and practically apply the powerful tool of storytelling to create a whole new perspective .
I ’m a learning and development professional and this course has motivated me to add design thinking innovation as a career goal worth pursuing .

CHALLENGE
I work as a designer of mobile applications . The primary goal of designing and developing mobile applications is ease of use with which the user can perform complex real - world tasks .
Recently , we had a client who had come to us requesting for re - designing of their existing application which was already present on the AppStore . They had received poor ratings for the application ’s user experience and were losing their client base to their competition .
As a preliminary step , we collected the following information from our stakeholders .
• Feature list - We made a list of the features that the client is interested in providing to their client base through the application .
• Feedback collection – We then collected all the user comments and ratings that the client had received since the launch of their existing application and categorized them .
• Market competition – We also checked the user experiences provided by similar applications in the market in order to determine what - wows .
On rigorous study of data available , we could narrow down the issues to the following :
• Usage of animations were time killers and made the job of the user difficult .
• Use of icons to perform tasks were not intuitive to the users .
• There were too many complex workflows spanning across multiple screens .
SELECTION
With the required features list and the problem points identified , we had a fair bit of understanding of solution . While designing the solution , we heard from the stakeholders about the onboarding meeting they had scheduled with their new clients . We identified that as a great opportunity to get first - hand user feedback .
APPLICATION
We designed an interactive solution where the design software would respond to user interactions just as in the mobile application . This was way before the mobile application was developed . We wanted to test the application and get feedback from the user as early as possible .
Few of the solutions we had incorporated in the proposed solution were :
• Simplified workflows – We had minimized the clicks count to as low as three per task i.e we ensured that an user task would be completed with a maximum of three clicks
• Animations – As the userbase used the application to get things done , we realized that they would very likely be interested in animations . We also had user reviews to support this theory . So we got rid of them all .
• Intuitive UI – Our new designs mostly used text instructions and commonly used icons to depict functionalities . This was to ensure that even a new user should be able to traverse and use the application effectively .
INSIGHT
After the new clients onboarding meeting , we had a fair amount of understanding of which problems we were able to successfully resolve and what parts of design required modifications .
With learning launch , we were able to solve a problem by just prototyping the solution saving heavily in terms of cost , resources and time of both the user and the stakeholders involved .
APPROACH
We , use learning launch as an organizational tool on most of our projects . The prototypes designed , sometimes even enables us to showcase our efforts and win new opportunities .

Challenge
Due to the COVID-19 situation in my city , we decided to create a group of volunteers to assist the elderly people with their food and medicine purchases . There are many grandparents who live alone or does n’t have family nearby to help them . Our challenge was to create a simple online platform that can be easily accessed by elderly people to ask for help to buy something from our collaborators teams .
This project includes IT personnel , collaborators and a social worker . The project is a start - up therefore run by volunteer time . The time line for this project should run for at most 30 days to give our software development team creates a prototype .
Selection
We have decided to use the learning launch tool because we can quickly test our idea and prototype . This tool will help us go through an iterating process that will improve on our solution . Working with a prototype will help us experiment the idea with a small group of elderly people and be able to analyze what they need and expect .
Application
Our first launch we focused on providing a simple web site with a form to fill in fields with the data of the person and the products that wants to buy . In particular we wanted to see how the grandparents interacts with the platform . This process helped us understand if the website was user - friendly and useful to them . After an observation on the elderly people we realized we should have focused on add a chat service with the collaborator assigned . They needed to talk and to explain what really needed ( brands , flavors ) .
The second learning launch , we focused to release a new platform with the new add ( chat ) and a GPS where the person could see where was his collaborator . After testing the second platform we conducted telephone interviews with the group of selected people to understand their experiences and to find out if this second prototype was easy to navigate . Our priority was to know that the grandparents coulduse the platform with ease and it was efficient with their need .
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool , our team were able to learn what the real need of our users was . We identified ideas , proposals and designed releases to test these assumptions . With this learning process got to improve our web site to meet user ’s expectation . In addition , we were able to learn and realize that users felt more comfortable talking with the collaborator and knowing how long they were arriving at their home . With the second launch we were able to improve and learn better about our users .
Reflection- Learning Launch
Approach
According to what we have been able to observe , the learning launch is the appropriate tool for our entrepreneurship . It is important that our team reviews our users ' feedbacks of each past release for improvements that need to be made to our website in future launch design . As a team , we think it 's most effective and ideal way of approaching and implementing solutions efficiently .
Future launch designs shouldreflect insight gained , progress made , real needs of elderly people and come closer to a compelling solution ready for full roll out .

Reflection- Learning Launch
Challenge
Due to the COVID-19 situation in my city , we decided to create a group of volunteers to assist the elderly people with their food and medicine purchases . There are many grandparents who live alone or does n’t have family nearby to help them . Our challenge was to create a simple online platform that can be easily accessed by elderly people to ask for help to buy something from our collaborators teams .
This project includes IT personnel , collaborators and a social worker . The project is a start - up therefore run by volunteer time . The time line for this project should run for at most 30 days to give our software development team creates a prototype .
Selection
We have decided to use the learning launch tool because we can quickly test our idea and prototype . This tool will help us go through an iterating process that will improve on our solution . Working with a prototype will help us experiment the idea with a small group of elderly people and be able to analyze what they need and expect .
Application
Our first launch we focused on providing a simple web site with a form to fill in fields with the data of the person and the products that wants to buy . In particular we wanted to see how the grandparents interacts with the platform . This process helped us understand if the website was user - friendly and useful to them . After an observation on the elderly people we realized we should have focused on add a chat service with the collaborator assigned . They needed to talk and to explain what really needed ( brands , flavors ) .
The second learning launch , we focused to release a new platform with the new add ( chat ) and a GPS where the person could see where was his collaborator . After testing the second platform we conducted telephone interviews with the group of selected people to understand their experiences and to find out if this second prototype was easy to navigate . Our priority was to know that the grandparents coulduse the platform with ease and it was efficient with their need .
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool , our team were able to learn what the real need of our users was . We identified ideas , proposals and designed releases to test these assumptions . With this learning process got to improve our web site to meet user ’s expectation .

Challenge :
In my role as an HR Business partner , one of the projects recently undertaken was to work directly with my client groups on a People Strategy exercise with the intent of ensuring that we have the right organizational structure manned with the right talent and capabilities , to achieve the company goals . This approach required intensive scrutiny of the current organizational structure and a detailed thought analysis of the workflow and activities being executed within the functional area . Some of the other imperatives we needed to address were :
• How to prioritize the functional imperatives that face each leaders ’ functional organization . • Identifying critical roles within the team • Highlighting talent that currently exists • Highlighting gaps in capabilities which are needed to support the business and determine how to build talent in these areas to address these gaps • Identifying and selecting digitization opportunities within the function
Selection :
For this exercise I chose to use the mind mapping tool . For me , this is the best way to break down a complex situation . There was a large amount of data that we needed to review and synthesize , and as a result we needed to break down the project into distinct areas to enable us to focus on each piece of the strategy . We needed to outline each of the above - mentioned areas and establish the framework for the strategy ; and then work to generate the ideas to formulate the structure . This method is a creative and visual way to capture the thoughts of the client and ensure we identify the appropriate information in order to retrofit the data into the overall strategy . The example provided of the yard sale resonated with me as you are going from a large and messy problem and categorizing the items into distinct areas so they can be easily understood – or in the yard sales analogy – purchased .
Application :
From looking at the current reality of the situation , I chose to schedule an initial meeting of 30 minutes with my clients to socialize the exercise . This was to merely get them thinking about their organization and what to expect when we delved into the actual exercise . After that , I scheduled a 2 - hour block of time with the Sr . Leadership team member and asked him to invite others to the meeting that would be able to provide insight and add value to the process . During this meeting there was a great deal of brainstorming that occurred and the questions ‘ why ’ and ‘ why not ’ were frequently used to force the team to think out of the box and visualize utopia . What would the department look like ? We asked them to visualize a clean slate and inquired , “ if you could restructure your department anyway you like , what would it look like ? If anything was possible , what would that look like ? ” This gave the team the opportunity to unleash their creativity and intuition and come up with ideas that were perhaps a little out there , but none the less , potentially brilliant . Lastly , we conducted a work - flow analysis and listed all the activities executed and placed them into a 4 - bucket prioritization matrix asking the questions , “ What are the must have / value added resources necessary ? What are the must have / nonvalue added resources necessary ? Can these be automated or outsourced ? ”
There were many more sessions that occurred after that , and all in all the time spent with each client group totaled approximately 10 - 12 hours . This was an effective exercise and ultimately was presented to the Sr . Leaders who were pleased with the outcome .
Insight :
Having to do this for 4 different client groups was a very burdensome task , but one that I am very glad I undertook . It was difficult at first for the leaders to look at a blank slate and fill it with ideas . Equally difficult was to constantly be asked the questions ‘ why ’ and ‘ why not ’ . Eventually the difficulty subsided and once they got the hang of it , the creatively juices started flowing .
Approach :
I do n’t know if I would do this differently net time – the mind mapping worked very well for this situation . Visualization may also work well and it ’s possible I will combine 2 of the tools the next time I have a project of this magnitude . I really enjoyed the challenge of implementing this process in design thinking and it helped to position me as a strategic business partner , but also one that was able to allow the group to really become embedded in this design challenge .

My company sources for and distributes niche and other lesser - known brands of alcoholic . We are a B2B business and our customers are restaurants , bars , and retail shops at shopping malls .
Although our customers are businesses , I understand the importance of fully meeting the needs of our customers ’ customers – end - consumers of alcoholic drinks – who are people like you and me who visit restaurants and bars .
The challenge I face is correctly identifying what products to source for that customers would like . As our suppliers require a large minimum order quantity for each new order ( as the order will have to be shipped from overseas and a large order is required to cover the high fixed shipping costs ) , we take on the risk of ending up with a large quantity of unsold drinks if they turn out to be unpopular with customers .
Thus , I need a lower - cost method of gauging customer responses without the need to place a large order .
Selection
I was inspired by the IBM Story in Week 4 of the course , and wanted to conduct a learning launch using the same concept – conducting an experimental experience to find out what was the best way to engage customers and get their feedback .
Application - Learning Launch 1
The first learning launch was my company organizing a tasting event at the supplier ’s manufacturing premises . The supplier was located overseas so we had to fly in for the event . As we wanted to keep the cost as low as feasible , we flew only our biggest customers ( the owners of restaurants and bars ) to the event . We also allowed them to bring 3 of their customers , who were long - time regulars of their restaurants and bars . This event also served as a reward for their most loyal customers .
At the tasting event , my business customers and their customers were able to try out a wide range of alcoholic drinks , and served as an excellent platform for all parties to exchange views about consumer preferences .
Insight
The key learning point was that our customers preferred to try out a wide range of products at the same time , and although they may not place an order immediately , the will keep in mind those products they liked an place an order later . This was because consumer tastes change rapidly , and the popularity of certain types of products comes in waves . So even if our
customers thought that a product was good , it may not be the right time to launch the product locally yet , thus the delayed orders .
Application and Insight - Learning launch 2
After the first learning launch , we implemented a second learning launch . Due to the success of the first learning launch , our suppliers were convinced of the value of having such tasting events . This time , our suppliers agreed to supply us with small quantities of a wide range of alcoholic drinks , and the tasting event would be held locally , so that more of our customers could attend .
This was not standard industry practice , as the shipping charges were still fixed and they would incur an initial loss , but with our first learning launch , our suppliers were fully convinced of the longer - term benefits of having tasting events . The tasting event was a hit among our customers , and we intend to continue with such tasting events in the future .
Approach
With the success of the two learning launches , we are currently thinking of ways to add more value to our business customers , particularly restaurants . Restaurants also have new product launches ( eg . new dishes or desserts ) and we are tying up with them to do a joint tasting event featuring their new dishes and our range of alcoholic drinks that we are considering bringing into the local market .
This approach could better engage the restaurants ’ patrons , as they not only have new food to try , but also an exclusive range of alcoholic drinks not currently available in the local market . We are very excited to conducting our third learning launch in the near future !

Challenge
Lately I did an online course about User Experience Design . Part of the course was this assignment : design an airline website with focus on the booking process , an online experience that is fast , easy and intuiAve based on a deep understanding of their target users . This was my first hands on experience with design thinking . First , I did a lot of user / customer research to get an understanding of the problems customers experience during the process of booking a flight . I learned about the user goals and idenAfied issues that users regularly come across in airline websites . It was a mix of quanAtaAve and qualitaAve research , it was good research , it was a lot , but it looked like a mess ! I had to find a soluAon for this , something that could organise this mess .
Selec%on
Through analysing the data gathered during the research stage , I could beJer understand and arAculate the problems to solve for the customer . I chose mind mapping as tool for organising the type of unstructured data I got from my research . It is fast , easy , cheap and as a bonus it harnesses the power of collaboraAon to organise the data quickly and build consensus . When you have a lot of unstructured data , mind mapping is perfect to idenAfy paJers and themes ( the same findings ) in different research methods .
“ A perfect formula / on of a problem is already half its solu / on . ” David Hilbert - MathemaAcian
Applica%on
In the video lecture of week 3 ‘ Mind Mapping Tool ’ , Mia Castillo gives the example of the yard sale where you invite some shoppers or gallery - goers to aJend the sale or view the gallery . How she describes this process is similar to how I did my mind mapping session .
To do the mind mapping session , I invited two helpers . Before we came together I shared all the research I had done in the previous step . The helpers got enough Ame to ( acAvely ) read / watch / look at all the research and to take notes on their own . Then we got together and I gave each helper post - it notes and a pen . They had to write one observaAon per post - it . This was done in silence and took about 30 minutes . We placed all the post - it notes on the wall and started to make groups . We discussed , the groups were vague in the beginning , but we improved them and finally gave them names . The whole session took about one hour .
Insight
Thanks to the mind mapping session I had clear groups that corresponded to ( mostly ) negaAve experiences that needed to be addresses during the design of the airline website . My raw research data had gone from highly unstructured to relaAvely structured and acAonable insights emerged . I had 11 areas I could make improvements to the success of my website . As a bonus , I had collaborated . I had a shared understanding with my helpers , everybody could speak .
Approach
I would select the same tool , but I would definitely invite more people to do it with . This was only an exercise from a course , but I ca n’t wait to apply this tool on a real project with colleagues or stakeholders involved in the process . It gives not only insights in the approach to the design , but also it gets people off
their seats and everybody is involved and has a voice . Not only designers understand this , stakeholders o[en prefer to see the bigger picture .

Challenge & Selection
I work in a Marketing Agency and a Business Group that was already 9 years old in Peru contacted us , to help them in the process they were in . They were going through moments of decline here and the head office that had been considered in Mexico , restructuring the entire company , from managers , brands , stores , collaborators and more . The main problem that the company found was its “ collaborators ” were not comfortable with the job , for different reasons and the first decision they made was to focus on them , add value to the collaborators and the restructuring of the brand , this is where the job . ¿ what way did we publicize the new values ? ¿ How to make the collaborator fall in love with the company where he works ? And how were we going to achieve it ?
Joshua Edwards said , Mars " Storytelling is based on the emotional connection , that is offered to people , that is going to be offered to people , on the information that is required to be shared " . that was wanted to share was the new values of the company through an exclusively product for collaborators , and make them , through this product , develop and communicate the new image to the public . And ¿ how to do it ? , through Storytelling based on experiences
Application :
Through brainstorming we decided to throw a tv show style , but for the digital channel and exclusively for the collaborators of this company . We did small surveys and we realized that most of them like dancing . ¿ How were we going to adjust it to the objective ? So we decided to focus on the main value of the company that was " Inclusive Prosperity " , which tried to say that if the company is doing well , the worker has to do well and therefore the environment where the worker develops has to be okay " , We decided to call the program " Valientes " , where 10 representatives of the business group would fight for a social dream ( help a family , a person , community , asylum , shelter , etc . ) . The winner would fulfill the dream and would become the image of the brand during the one - year period , so that through this experience the winner would personally reveal the change that this company was having . The 10 representatives of this first season were chosen , in 2 casting of more than 500 people , based on development , experience in the company , behavior , background and the dream for which they wanted to fight . They competed accompanied by a professional dancer .
There were 6 galas , Programs launched live through a website . Each gala had a main theme " a different value " and was worked on it . The experience of each person who worked there , who participated in the contest and lived the dreams skin to skin was enriching in many aspects , since in each program the dreams that each contestant had were counted , so that the company 's employees could vote for the dream and the dreamer they loved the most .
Insight :
There are different ways of making a known message , but giving the message through an emotional connection , lived experiences and telling it through storytelling , and that they can hear it from a friend or colleague who has lived it , is reaching the cause .
It is a case of endomarketing , this business group decided to invest in its workers , they were its target audience , because if they do n’t feel comfortable , they wo n’t work well and therefore the company wo n’t well . Many times , companies do n’t take into account that the collaborator is a key to success , and they forget to reinforce that point . And many of them do n’t know how to communicate the changes they are making ; it is required to investigate the best way to do it and storytelling in this case was the ideal-
Approach
Next time , we will cover more audiences since we launched this program in only one city in the country , we will focus more on knowing the participants , perhaps the first season we realized that each person also has a story behind and that it must be counted also so we would improve how we focus storytelling tool and I would use the visualization tool too because i think we should have used it at the beginning to focus more on the future .

### Input: Example Reflection – Storytelling
By : Linda Edwards
Challenge & Selection
I work in a Marketing Agency and a Business Group that was already 9 years old in Peru contacted us , to help them in the process they were in . They were going through moments of decline here and the head office that had been considered in Mexico , restructuring the entire company , from managers , brands , stores , collaborators and more . The main problem that the company found was its “ collaborators ” were not comfortable with the job , for different reasons and the first decision they made was to focus on them , add value to the collaborators and the restructuring of the brand , this is where the job . ¿ what way did we publicize the new values ? ¿ How to make the collaborator fall in love with the company where he works ? And how were we going to achieve it ?
Joshua Edwards said , Mars " Storytelling is based on the emotional connection , that is offered to people , that is going to be offered to people , on the information that is required to be shared " . that was wanted to share was the new values of the company through an exclusively product for collaborators , and make them , through this product , develop and communicate the new image to the public . And ¿ how to do it ? , through Storytelling based on experiences

Challenge & selection
I am a member of my organization ’s technology management and research administration team in the research and development department . Our scope is to create focus for researchers and value proposition out of the research outcome , and my challenge is to help them communicate both verbally and nonverbally . At the research and development department , we are looking at very complex problems in the renewable energy field , and we are expected to explore and solve problems innovatively . However , having diverse teams in “ an organization ” with different backgrounds makes it difficult to conduct ideation sessions that can go beyond verbal communication and trigger innovation as everyone feels limited due to the fact that in organizations some ideas are to remain fixed .
For example , my team and I conducted an ideation session one month ago for the research team by writing their ideas on the smartboard . Everyone got engaged individually with brilliant ideas that at some point were left without having another member build on ; at this point , I sensed a limitation in how the team reflects the things they imagine internally to create a single picture that connects all the points mentioned without disregarding any ideas . Also , I sensed that the team feels that there is a limited room for innovation when it comes to out of the box ideas since we operate under an organization that has a fixed process and is more towards execution . Therefore , I chose the visualization tool to understand and help both my team and the researchers achieve our goals . This tool is to be used in order to create a free and vibrant environment for innovation . As stated in the lecture notes , visualization , “ allows us to think in a nonverbal way . It allows us to access parts of our brain , parts of our creativity , that we might not normally be using in the course of conversation ” .
Application
Understanding that the primary tool for visualization is imagining things , actions , others , and movements not only drawing and connecting simple diagrams , helped me in developing a process that encourages exploration and pattern finding by dividing the ideation session into different activities , such as exploration , pattern finding , concept development and ideation , mind mapping , and then prototyping to evaluate whether there is room for scaling up . By exploration , we gave the researchers a chance to study the topic beforehand not only in terms of technicality , but also the market and business . When we are planning for value proposition , we need to have an idea of what our customers need ; they come to the ideation session with these ideas generated for us to help them think visually ; this process helps in activating visual thinking , where some context and figures can be generated and connected through pattern finding . Once we get to the concept development and ideation stage , their imagination is already triggered , and pictures are flowing . They would easily share their ideas and build on other ’s ideas by verbal and nonverbal communication . They are expected to freely sketch and draw detailed diagrams that then can be transformed into complex diagrams and maps .
Another ideation session was conducted earlier this week to assess whether this application is the best approach while utilizing the visualization tool . The feedback from the teams was amazing because they felt more confident and freer with their ideas . Also , they were doing a decent job when building and connecting to other ’s ideas . Engagement was well
demonstrated through - out the session and the tool seemed to work effectively . Seniors were impressed by the prototype they received , and are encouraging the project .
Insight & Approach
By conducting this exercise , I realized that the new approach fits better in terms of conducting ideation sessions . It helped me think broadly about how design thinking is not just some ideas connected by arrows , but a set of tools that can be connected to serve the physics of innovation . I am glad that the seniors are impressed with the outcome , but the engagement of the researchers themselves encourages me to try other tools in future . I understood that they like to stay in their comfort zone as they are in an organization that sometimes limits their creativity , but they like to be challenged and guided to think visually . Using the visualization tool , I would like to include pilot and scaling stage in the session , making it a very interactive session that can be distributed on two to three days ; the reason why I am interested in the pilot and scaling stage is that it encourages the researchers to give more in terms of research and it increases their interest in creating value out of their research papers via patenting rather than merely publications .

Challenge
I am a development professional and work with 200,000 the most vulnerable , marginalised and
very low income group of people . My purpose of engagement is to enhance their income by
building their capacity , supporting and handholding in livelihood selection , livelihood
generation , and overall holistic development including education to their children , health &
sanitation , nutrition , and continuous saving for the rainy days . Working with ultra - poor people ,
I realised that capacity building not only to the ultra - poor households , but also to cadres
involved in their handholds and staff ensuring field level implementation is the key to success .
And designing uniform and easy to understand capacity building material was a huge
challenge before us . It was quite necessary to build empathy among cadres and staff and reach
to the beneficiaries emotionally .
Selection and Approach
After completing design research to understand the aspirations , needs and desires of the
targeted beneficiaries , we used your insights to tell a story about who the users are , what they
need and how the staff and cadres provide those services and solutions . This storytelling made
it easy for everyone involved in the project to empathize with the users and ensure that their
work matches the story . Having a story throughout your project means marketing the design at
the end of the design process is also straightforward , as you already know exactly which story
to tell to show how your product provides value . We use the following formula:-
1 . Pilot - What are user goals and problems which they are trying to overcome or achieve ?
2 . Character - Using the Insights , clear understanding on what the users characteristics are ?
3 . Theme - Establishing trustworthy presence
4 . Dialogue and melody- What will the design say to users and how ? Does a
formal / informal tone match their expectations ? How much text is appropriate ? How will
the overall design pa � ern appear pleasant and predictable to users , moving them
emotionally ?
5 . Decor – How will we present everything so the graphics match the se � ing the users can
sense ? Would a classic design or stylized , niche layout meet their expectations ?
6 . Spectacle – How can we make your design outstanding so users will remember it ?
Application
Stories take on a variety of forms : digital storytelling , visual storytelling , storyboards , scenario
generation , storytelling through videos , skits or plays , animation , talk and image , text or image .
These forms open up possibilities for many analytical approaches including , thematic , content ,
discourse ( use of language ) , and structural . The trends and pa � erns derived from these
analyses , in turn , form the bases of additional qualitative and quantitative data collection that
value human needs as the authentic foundation of research - based challenges , opportunities and
solutions .
Insights
Listening to and empathizing with their needs , I gained enormous insights into the types of
support services and mentoring first gens feel will help them navigate the economic and social
challenges they face . Hunger , social isolation , Anxiety and bewilderment are pa � erns of
behavior I found among low - income families . The social isolation , low self - confidence , low
skills of employment , no trust to the government services and agencies .
In sum , storytelling is a powerful communication tool that enables us as human beings to
understand more about our emotional experiences . This makes it an effective method to use
during the design process . It can be used during the design thinking process phases with a
different goal in each stage . Storytelling can help us to gather personalised emotional data about
our targeted users ’ experience which can be hard to collect using other research methods such
as the survey and consumer journey mapping .

understand more about our emotional experiences . This makes it an effective method to use
during the design process . It can be used during the design thinking process phases with a
different goal in each stage . Storytelling can help us to gather personalised emotional data about
our targeted users ’ experience which can be hard to collect using other research methods such
as the survey and consumer journey mapping .

This course on Design Thinking has equipped me with very useful knowledge of various techniques I can apply at my workplace . One of these techniques is the Visualization tool , which I had the opportunity to test just a week ago for one of the projects I am working on . My supervisor and I were given the task to lead a website redevelopment project – making the town ’s website more appealing and modern - looking . This in itself is a very interesting , yet at the same time a very challenging endeavour . The challenge comes from having to create a product to cater to the tastes of multiple and very diverse audiences , while at the same time keeping it withing budget and scope . We had to make sure it was easy to navigate , that it contained the necessary information that both external and internal users ( local residents and visitors , investors , entrepreneurs ) , and was overall a vital promotional tool for the town .
The challenge came mainly from the lack of agreement as to what the new look should be – we had accumulated quite a feedback , yet it was more of a criticism of the current look of the website rather than constructive suggestions on what the new vision should be . Since we were aiming to please a diverse demographic group ( baby boomers , millennials , etc . ) with different views on what information should be included and how it should be presented , we had to come out with an out - of - the - box solution . It was then that I thought the visualization tool can help us produce the results we were looking for . After all , it aims at helping people arrive at a common understanding of an issue by eliminating the constraints of using just words .
It was of utmost importance for us to establish a common agreement on what the new website should serve and what we wanted it to incorporate – in other words to create its skeleton and then slowly try to dress it up in accordance with people ’s comments . In order to do that we decided to form focus groups . Each focus group included representatives from different age groups and different professions . Also , each focus group was given a board where they could visualize the structure , they believed the new website should take . The groups were given one week to meet , discuss and come up with ideas and at the end of that week , they were to deliver their boards to us . We would then gather all the boards , analyze them and invite all the groups to discuss the findings .
I believe this was one of the best decisions we made as to selecting how to approach the situation . We were not only actively engaging our stakeholders ( thus assuring them that their input is valuable and appreciated ) , but by forcing them to actually put the ideas they have in their minds onto paper we had a clearer understanding on what they found problematic with the website , what was important for them to see and how they imagined it to look like . It also helped them ( and ultimately us of course ) to see other people ’s perspective and create a shared vision , respecting each others ’ positions . Since the website redevelopment project was a major undertaking for the town , consuming a large portion of its budget , we wanted to guarantee that it will be a product people would be supportive of in the long - run and thus getting them on board in the initial stage was very important .
As for me , this exercise really showed me the power of the visualization tool in create common understanding and avoiding misperceptions . Having an idea or a vision in your mind is awesome and you might think you are explaining it well , but when you work in a group , it is important to make sure that everyone is on the same page and if that means using images , charts , drawings or other means of conveying your vision or ideas , by all means do so . I will certainly utilize the visualization tool in further projects as well .

Challenge :
The main challenge presented to me was that of a client of my company . As a client in the finance industry , they wanted to learn how to reach new clients who would opt for his small and medium business services program . The challenge is how to publicize the service , sell its good results and the advantages that people or projects who decide to be part of this program can obtain . This challenge becomes more complicated since the people who can opt for these services are not necessarily found through the internet or Social Media , but they attend to carry out their procedures at offices .
Selection :
I selected Storytelling as it is a tool that offers versatility and possible creative outlets above a challenge . In this case , I consider that the way to address success stories and cases is to make them known to our potential consumers . According to Adan Stone ( Global Leadership Development Director of Mars , Inc. ) more than solving a problem is about creating a cause . A cause that can unite and excite people . An important aspect is that the most relevant thing is to know your audience . In this way , a good story can be designed for that specific audience .
Application :
According to what Adan Stone ( Global Leadership Development Director of Mars , Inc. ) mentions , first of all , when it comes to working with people , the ideal is to bring them to a state of mind where they want to participate and make this challenge a cause in which to invest . In this way , my team created a series of personalized invitations according to the characteristics . From this , a group of people was selected to work in focus groups in which our different hypotheses were worked on . On the one hand , a first group received information about services , channels and programs in a series of slides with related text and images . On the other hand , a second group had access to testimonies from people who made use of the support programs , recounting their personal experience with their small or medium - sized business .
As a result of these group sessions , a separation is built in which the most positively evaluated services and channels are selected , as well as those that are below expectations . The last stage consists of developing these testimonies and telling the story from an interactive perspective ( with interactive screens ) and with availability for predefined consultations , which at the same time is designed to take to the different branches and offices where this audience is located and continues to attend constantly . This solves part of the first challenge , providing the information through the channels used by this group . It is in this way that a seedbed of projects is born from this program for companies .
Insight :
Insight is usually difficult to identify , however in this case we worked on it little by little . The fact that people can tell their own stories builds trust and hope . Telling stories as mentioned in the chapter of this tool , allows you to create energy , passion and excitement about what is being presented . The creation of
a space that responds to a human truth such as empathy , is what allows us to reach this insight in which people identify with their peers , with other people with similar characteristics to each other .
Approach :
Regarding the differences that would apply differently , it would be the application of interviews in the initial stage , which allow to know more about the audience or , to know more about who is selected for the focus group sessions . In this way , it is possible to know more in depth and take advantage of the experience and testimony of each person and see the potential it has in attracting new interested audiences . Being more specific and personalized , empathy can be built hand in hand with these testimonials , in which people , rather than seeing a service , can feel support , support and an impulse that allows them to meet new stories .

Waliur Aslam – Initiating Data Helpdesk desk group
Reflection – Storytelling
Challenge & Selection
Storytelling is a great tool that I use it in my work . I work with Educatools , Exploration Data Management division , Data Manager , and Group leader of Data Helpdesk . Many of them have a challenge to control on the requests that we receive it from Exploration Organizations which has multiple divisions and departments . I spend a lot of time to see how I can serve and support the team to handle the remedy tickets . When I work with other groups , we share fact stories for different reasons . Often they 're interested to share stories to see how we can improve our life to improve the business . I have a story about using storytelling . In working with different entities , the group tried to meet and explain about the situations that we are face it in the daily bases . The upper management assigned the SME ’s from each departments and division to measure the situation and report the minutes to improve the business .
Insight & Approach
We listed all the comments and the feedback and we came back to our division to discover how we can resolve the situation .
We worked with the Computer Center which is the focal contact and the focal point to serve all the exploration organizations , we initiate an alias email that can the employees send their requests and the data Helpdesk group will handle it and record it to be dispatch to the members in the division and resolve the remedy ticket in proper way and reduce the resolution time to resolve it . After we implement this role and deployed it in a simple we tool to be reported the daily outstanding remedy tickets .
The assignee can consider and following up to their remedy tickets and they can be able to change the status for each single ticket from assigned to in - progress and the requester will be notified that his / her request is under process .
This course made me see this as a tool in a new way . When I 've done it before it was really " ad hoc , " but
now I can prepare ahead and think of stories that will assist me in presenting my ideas and best
illuminate them .
I have a design background , but I ended up as an entrepreneur in business . I had no idea this would ever
be considered an asset , but I am so very grateful that it is !

Example of Learning Launch :
the ‘ game ’ of plastics recycling

1 . Challenge
In recent years , doing something for our planet has become an essential condition for each of us . Everyone can help the safeguard the natural environment , changing small gestures and incorrect habits .
In the city where I live , in Italy , there are many green initiatives that are put into practice , but they are never enough .
My challenge is to put into practice a method for making the younger age groups learn and practice virtuous and correct behaviors , in a fun and stimulating way . Doing so , they can contribute to protect and preserve the well - being of the planet and have a better future .
The project will initially have these features :
limited to a maximum of 10 kindergartens , where it is possible to place a corner
dedicated to plastic collection ;
supply of small plastic - eating machines made from recycled material , with an
appearance that recalls colored cartoon characters : this is possible thanks to the collaboration with AMIU , the local authority that manages the collection and recycling of waste ;
duration of the experiment : two months .
2 . Selection
In design thinking , there is no secret recipe to achieve innovation , but there is an iteration of design processes that enable innovation to happen .
The learning launch principle is one of the most important tools of design thinking for innovation . This principle consists in doing small experiments to test a prototype in the real world . It is a relatively fast , and represent a low - cost way to validate the innovator ’s ideas .
Using the learning launch principle for this challenge ensures to verify that solution is oriented toward the target people . This process does not necessarily prove that the initial idea is the best , but it enables an innovator to identify how the idea can be improved or if it should be discarded .
3 . Application
For every child , everything can become a game , even plastics recycling .
The herein proposed learning launch consists in teaching kindergarten children , supported by the teachers , to collect plastic material in the plastic - eating machine .
This practice can be interpreted as :
a behavior that helps children become more responsible ; a challenge that allows to earn rewards : a plastic coin will be issued every time a
suitable object is introduced into the machine .
Every child , with parents help , can convert the coins collected into tangible good at affiliate businesses for example :
toy store ; ice cream shop ; amusement park ; etc .
4 . Insight
This idea is born to involve both children and adults in the goal of plastics recycling :
plastic waste collection thought to children , makes it to become a spontaneous
gesture when they will be adults ;
adults , helping children , will lead by example .
Monitoring children 's progress for a period of one or two months will allow to appreciate this kind of initiative .
If children will consider this activity enough stimulating , will try to earn as many coins as possible , maybe even bringing some empty plastic bottles from home .
5 . Approach
The idea herein exposed can lead to several other practical implementation :
the plastic eating machines can also be installed in public areas , for example near
playgrounds ;
in addition to plastic materials , the machines can be designed to collect other
types of waste , for example paper : doing so , children have the opportunity to develop their own material perception ;
the project could be extended to adults : by means of a smartphone app , it is possible to track waste collection in order to obtain coupons or some discounts .

Challenge & Selection
For my internship , me and a classmate undertook the project of developing a new line of longboards ( skateboards ) for a local company . These products would aim for a complete new market for both us and the company even though some collective experience could be found . The challenge was to understand our potential users of the products and to see if there were any undiscovered potential users from which the market could grow . Besides doing a large research on present products , brands , new technologies and skateboarding culture etc . we decided to develop a set of personas and to give them a visual representaion . We chose this tool both to learn about skateboarders and skateboarding culture and to widen the scope of ideas later generated in brainstorming .
Application
Creating personas is a great way for both understanding the customer and putting the user in focus when creating ideas . It can diverse the ideas created in later stages and it provides insights for evaluating those ideas . We started off doing observations in the skateboarding community and combined that with a brainstorming for potential undiscovered users . This resulted in 6 personas : The fall - back skateboarder , the trend - setter , the business snob , the sports fanatic , the park skater and the environmental nerd . We then conducted a range of interviews both with representatives for each persona and with subjects that understood the type of person typical to a persona . This resulted in a presentation of each persona including a cartoon drawing , quotes from the interviews , a list of psychographic characteristics and a matrix showing how sensible they were to price , sustainability , design , etc . These personas were then used as a starting point in the brainstorm session where we first interpret each persona before creating ideas .

Insight & Approach
In the beginning our idea was to use personas only during the first phases but we ended up using them throughout the project . From research , insights to idea generation and later benchmarking prototypes and building product identity and brand . The method helped us in some specific ways that I would n’t have thought of beforehand .
During brainstorming sessions , I liked how we could use the personas to expand our ideas and think of new concepts aimed at our stakeholder ’s behavior and interests . This effect was planned but I later realized how important our personas were to center the creative process around our users .
To have a visual representation of the stakeholders led to efficient group communication and helped us keep track of who we were designing for . We kept them close and let them guide us , constantly asking questions : would this appeal to say “ the trend - setter ” ?
It served beautifully as a guide of reference when evaluating ideas , concepts and making decisions for our stakeholders . It helped us not to be overprotective of our own ideas and it lowered the risk of making biased decisions .
If I would have done the project again I would also have tried a creative workshop before presenting the personas . The output of that might have resulted in yet another undiscovered target group that we did n’t specify in the research .

Challenge I was invited to facilitate a half - day workshop on disaster management . The workshop aimed to highlight some of the critical challenges in disaster response and come up with some ideas to deal with these challenges . The 12 workshop participants included people from various emergency service agencies and elected officials from different local government organizations . Selection I used a visual thinking tool called “ making rich pictures ” to surface different worldviews around disaster management . This tool is part of an approach called soft - systems methodology ( SSM ) used to tackle messy real - life situations . SSM is an action - oriented approach to inquiry used by researchers and practitioners to explore alternative solutions to wicked problematical situations . It is used to organize thinking about perceived problematical ( social ) situations so that action to bring about improvement can be taken ( Checkland and Poulter 2006 ) . Application The problematical situation was poor coordination between different disaster response agencies . I used rich pictures to draw attention to how participants from various agencies perceived the problematical situation . Workshop participants were randomly split into three groups of four people . Each group had 30 minutes in which to draw a rich picture describing their worldview of the problematical situation in terms of social dynamics and resource flows . Group members could work individually or together to produce their rich picture . Nobody was allowed to write any words on their rich picture . After the 30 minutes were up , each group was given 10 minutes to reflect on their collective effort . One member was nominated to explain their drawing to the other workshop participants . From the ensuing discussion , one could identify different human activity systems and see how these related to the problematical situation . This information was captured as notes onto a flip chart . After each group had described their picture , we worked together to pick out common themes and prioritized these . Untimely and poorly targeted communication was highlighted as a major issue in effective coordination of disaster response . Each group was then asked to draw a second picture that depicted an ideal future scenario . Again , the groups were given 10 minutes to reflect on their image . From the ensuing discussion , one could see how different human activity systems could work together optimally . We compared and contrasted the information provided by the problematical and idealized situations and identified possible changes / improvements .
Workshop participants took photographs of both the rich pictures and flip chart notes to take back to their respective agencies for further discussion .
Insight Participants were initially uncomfortable with the idea of drawing rich pictures . They doubted their drawing ability . I asked the participants to trust the process and said the aim was not to produce a work of art but to gain insights into a wicked problematical situation . Once people started to draw , the focus of attention shifted from themselves to the piece of paper , and soon everyone was having fun . I find egos tend to get in the way when discussing complex situations . People often talk over one another or fail to listen to what others are saying . Egos seem to disappear when people work together on their drawing . The need for active listening becomes less critical when drawing rich pictures . Making rich pictures lets the facilitator stand back and allow ideas to emerge in a more spontaneous and meaningful way . People drawing rich pictures control the process , which is very empowering . They own what they draw and are more invested in addressing the problematical situation . Some of the workshop participants indicated they would use rich pictures to tackle other problematical situations in their agencies , which was deeply satisfying for me . Although SSM predates design thinking , design thinkers would be well advised to learn how SSM can help their thinking processes . Approach I would have loved to take what we learnt from making rich pictures to the next level by applying all the other elements of the SSM approach . Unfortunately , one can only achieve so much in a half - day workshop . What I would do differently next time is explain the SSM approach more fully so that participants can see how making rich pictures contributes to the problem - solving process . This would include providing a brief handout on the SSM approach and how it relates to design thinking more generally . References Checkland , P. , & Poulter , J. ( 2006 ) .

Challenge :
I live in a state whose economy thrives on agriculture mostly . Small scale agro - based industries are being set up every year . Economy of my state today represents a unique juxtaposition of backwardness amidst plenty . The main occupations of the people belonging to the rural regions are farming and fishery . Even though the soil is fertile and favorable for various crops , yet the farmers residing in those regions have to bear the loss of crops due to the floods that surface every year between the months of May and August . The natives are yet to cross paths with the new technologies related to farming . The per capita income of the people residing in the rural regions is very low . There are hardly big time investors to play a significant role . Evaluating the whole scenario , I have designed two simple machines which- might increase the per capita income of the people and make them realize the potential of technology over traditional methods of farming / cultivation . So the key elements that I have to keep in mind in making the right choices are- my designs need to be user - friendly , availability of the materials ( used for the machine ) should be high , the model must be cost efficient and carries out the requisite processes in a much more effective way .
Selection :
I opted for the Learning Launch tool to incorporate my idea for the rural development and to seek validation by at least a handful of investors . I have taken into account the confirming and disconfirming facts which led me to a well prepared and confident pros - and - cons situation ( if arises ) while preparing for the presentation .
Application :
For me the most crucial part of applying the Learning Launch tool is the confirming and disconfirming facts that are directly or indirectly involved in my hypothesis . It will help me in putting a benchmark to my targeted customer(s ) need as well as the investors . As an engineer , I have put my technical knowledge in designing two simple machines that can bring about a change in the per capita income of the families in the rural regions , might provide a source of income to the unemployed and offer a greater perspective in the development of a region . Now as for my designs to play the necessary role in the above mentioned scenario , I have to overpower the prevailing market ( the small and medium scale industries ) to establish cottage industries and the fixed mindset of the natives to welcome the necessary changes . People residing in rural areas are orthodox in nature , believer of a fixed system , have minimal education and literacy rate , have low annual family income , etc . While presenting my idea to the investors , the quantity of data i.e. , the past and the prevailing scenario play a vital role . The disconfirming data or facts help to establish a skeptical tomorrow but pave the way
for an optimized solution which in turn helps in bringing up the essence of technological methods into the natives ‘ fixed mindset ’ . With the confirming data , there is the the possibility for enhancing the quality of the product .
Insights and Approach :
In putting my idea into implementation , I conducted a small scale experiment with a few families of a rural suburb . This testing gave me an upper hand in realizing the dos ’ and don’ts ’ . The insight was helpful as it made me realize that involving at least 2 - 3 inhabitants makes them feel important which in turn helps to put my idea into execution more swiftly and steadily . The learning launch tool will benefit me greatly as I have approached other projects in a similar manner . The step by step process is a great way to approach to change the landscape of an existing market . It is easy to reconsider ideas and possibilities as the “ confirming and disconfirming facts ’ gives a great insight to prevailing scenarios .

As a HR recruiter , we track many different metrics to ensure the efficiency of our recruiting process . One of these metrics is called Time to Fill and it calculates how long it takes a recruiter to fill or close an open position within the company . The challenge with this is sometimes we will put a hold on the job , and this affects the accuracy of the Time to Fill . There are several other reasons why the accuracy can be affected however , if our Applicant Tracking System is used correctly , the probability of the metric is more accurate . The best way to ensure this is to make sure the job is selected and put “ on hold ” or removed from “ on hold ” .
2 . Selection
The tool that I have selected is Mind Mapping . I am the recruiter and I track the metric using our system and by using my own excel sheet to compare , I can see if the timing is accurate for the filled jobs . This will be inaccurate for an individual who does not manage the metrics or tracks the jobs . Mind mapping allows me to plot the information that is in the system .
3 . Application
I applied the tool of Mind Mapping to my scenario because of the inaccuracy of the metrics . Since the reason of this occurring is essentially incorrect data , I can use mind mapping to solve the inaccuracy of the reports . I can do this by understanding where the discrepancy is and comparing it to the report and my personal excel sheet .
4 . Insight
By using mind mapping , it allows me to create an illustration the inaccuracies of the data . This helps with creating a better or more efficient way to track the metric .
5 . Approach
I think that mind mapping is the most effective approach however , next time I may want to use Learning Launch because it is a detailed way to show discrepancies and a need for improvements .

Challenge I have led a branding project for a company not used to think in terms of brand building and what it takes to create a strong brand at all . The client , working in the elderly care sector , had an idea of what they want to tell about their company – but the need to adjust this message to customer needs , competitor positions and employees is something they had n’t thought about . The starting point for the project was complex – many different customers , stakeholders , competitors and other factors in the own organization or in the society that all had an influence of how we best could express the brand and the company . The client had some ideas of how to serve and communicate to each and every part ; most important customers , employees , and how they differ from main competitors , but to bring everything together to get an overview and create an overall brand message was a tough task . The client was completely lost in their own inside perspective and too many details . Selection To simplify the overall picture of the business environment in which the company and brand worked , I choose to work with visualization . As Stefanie Bauer mentions in the video Visualization Tool , the beauty of using visualization is that we can tap into a single picture that makes it possible to achieve a sense of agreement and consensus with people – and this really proved to be true . Using visualization made it possible to get a common starting point for the discussion of the overall picture and understanding the outer perspective . Application In order to visualize the environment in which we wanted the brand to work , I actually used suitable Smart Art designs in the Office 365 suite to simplify the description and relations of customers , other stakeholders , competitors and other factors influencing the client ’s business activities and brand building . In order to make a simplification that was relevant and still containing the most important aspects , I had to do a lot of reading and desktop analysis of the business sector and the clients company before creating the visualization . As this was a totally new way for the client to look at things , there were initial discussions if the visualization was a possible and correct way of describing the situation . After the client had decided that this actually was a new and interesting of describing the starting point of the branding project , we could continue our discussions and after a while find a common understanding of the role of the brand and implications for how to find a message that suited customers , employees , the competitor situation and the society . Insight & Approach Using the visualization tool made it possible for the client to gain a quicker understanding of the bigger picture and outer perspective - that branding is not only about what we want to say about ourselves , you have to take into account what is interesting for the target groups , what others are saying and what is possible to communication and still be true . One of the most interesting insight the visualization made clear was the importance of the employees in the brand building process , and the need of aligning the brand message in a way that was attractive both internally and externally .
I think design thinking and especially visualization is a very powerful tool - to present circumstances in a simplified , visual way , that differ from the way you are used to look at things opens up for many interesting discussions and makes it possible to see new relations and solutions . I will use the visualization tool again , as I found it very successful , but bearing in mind that you sometimes have to take into account the clients own experience of visualization . I once got the comment from a client , used to long , written descriptions of basically everything , that he did n’t like visualizations at all , as it could be interpreted in so many ways . Then it is important to stress the fact that visualization is a fantastic tool to see the bigger picture , nurturing new thoughts and solutions that then later on can be specified in written descriptions when needed .

### Input: Using visualization as a tool to gain an understanding of the bigger picture in a brand building project . Challenge I have led a branding project for a company not used to think in terms of brand building and what it takes to create a strong brand at all . The client , working in the elderly care sector , had an idea of what they want to tell about their company – but the need to adjust this message to customer needs , competitor positions and employees is something they had n’t thought about . The starting point for the project was complex – many different customers , stakeholders , competitors and other factors in the own organization or in the society that all had an influence of how we best could express the brand and the company . The client had some ideas of how to serve and communicate to each and every part ; most important customers , employees , and how they differ from main competitors , but to bring everything together to get an overview and create an overall brand message was a tough task . The client was completely lost in their own inside perspective and too many details . Selection To simplify the overall picture of the business environment in which the company and brand worked , I choose to work with visualization . As Stefanie Bauer mentions in the video Visualization Tool , the beauty of using visualization is that we can tap into a single picture that makes it possible to achieve a sense of agreement and consensus with people – and this really proved to be true . Using visualization made it possible to get a common starting point for the discussion of the overall picture and understanding the outer perspective . Application In order to visualize the environment in which we wanted the brand to work , I actually used suitable Smart Art designs in the Office 365 suite to simplify the description and relations of customers , other stakeholders , competitors and other factors influencing the client ’s business activities and brand building . In order to make a simplification that was relevant and still containing the most important aspects , I had to do a lot of reading and desktop analysis of the business sector and the clients company before creating the visualization . As this was a totally new way for the client to look at things , there were initial discussions if the visualization was a possible and correct way of describing the situation . After the client had decided that this actually was a new and interesting of describing the starting point of the branding project , we could continue our discussions and after a while find a common understanding of the role of the brand and implications for how to find a message that suited customers , employees , the competitor situation and the society . Insight & Approach Using the visualization tool made it possible for the client to gain a quicker understanding of the bigger picture and outer perspective - that branding is not only about what we want to say about ourselves , you have to take into account what is interesting for the target groups , what others are saying and what is possible to communication and still be true . One of the most interesting insight the visualization made clear was the importance of the employees in the brand building process , and the need of aligning the brand message in a way that was attractive both internally and externally .
I think design thinking and especially visualization is a very powerful tool - to present circumstances in a simplified , visual way , that differ from the way you are used to look at things opens up for many interesting discussions and makes it possible to see new relations and solutions . I will use the visualization tool again , as I found it very successful , but bearing in mind that you sometimes have to take into account the clients own experience of visualization .

One of the friends posted about an unfortunate case of a young boy ( studying in our school ) , who had leukemia and needed urgent funds for treatment . The amount had to be remitted in the shortest possible time to save his life . The challenges were as follows
- We needed to reach out to as many donors as possible in a short time
- We had to be able to communicate with the target audience in a language that they would find interesting and appealing
- The people who would contribute were busy folks and I had only a few seconds to grab their attention
- Because it was a medical emergency , there were medical terms associated with the illness and the remedial processes – they were not understood by the audience .
- There are many skeptics around crowd - funding appeals of this nature . So our appeal had to stand out in terms of authenticity .
- The process of remittance also had to be very simple and convenient
Selection We decided to use the tool of Storytelling to make my case . We wanted to create an impression in the shortest possible time to allow the donor to make up his mind and contribute to my cause . I remembered the lecture by Ricky George from Mars and how a human being needed to be at the centre of the conversation and used a real story in my appeal . Application My story centred around the young boy ’s love for cricket – a game that is very popular in my country . To gently nudge the memories of our own school days we used the tag line ‘ help him go back to playing cricket again . ’ By bringing in an everyday real - life slice of life , the audience immediately connected with the story and donated for the cause . This is how the appeal went - Two months back , 10 year old Vincenzo Mondal was only worried about how many runs he would score at the next cricket match . His parents , though of meagre means , dreamed of giving their only child an education they had n’t enjoyed - and had enrolled him in Indian School of Business in Kolkata . Vincenzo wants to be an astronaut when he grows up .
In July this year , a regular visit to the doctor revealed Vincenzo is suffering from B Cell Precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia ( commonly referred to as blood cancer ) , and his parents ’ world came crashing down . He is currently undergoing treatment at Tata Memorial Hospital , Kolkata . The chemotherapy treatment plan is for one year . Vincenzo ’s parents have run out of their savings , and according to current estimates they need Rs XXX to beat the disease . Insight I am happy to say raised significant funds and a few days back , heard that the boy has started going to school and playing cricket ! The application of the tool told me that it was important to resonate with the audience in a language and through a process they understand and find convenient . Approach With the success of this one idea , I was convinced that I could use story telling in a variety of examples in my professional and personal life .

Challenge I am associated with an electricity distribution and management firm in Delhi , India . The main challenge in this business is the power distribution and management in the slums and informal settlements which is nearly a sixth part of the total 16 million population of Delhi . The electricity losses from these areas is nearly 68 percent . This is apparently due to illegal connections in the network . Our challenge is to reduce the losses from these areas and include them as legal connections in the network by changing their attitude towards the company . The project scope includes consumer indexing of all the connections , spreading consumer awareness on the benefits of legal connections and repercussions of electricity theft and ultimately increase the revenue . The project shall require involvement of internal resources and as well as stakeholders i.e. residents of these areas , operation department and commercial department of our firm . Selection My team has already gone through several design thinking activities . We have performed the ethnographic interview of residents and studied their past behaviors on bill payment , their visits to the customer care department , operational performance of their area , etc . Now we had worked out some strategies which are ready to try the learning launch tool . We want to understand the results of our test strategies using Learning launch . Application First and foremost , we launched a separate department “ Special Consumer group ( SCG ) ” to take care of all affairs related to these area . The group focused more time and effort to execute the designed strategies . We wanted to know how they will respond to this structural change . The SCG team identified certain leaders among the residents and called them “ Coordinators ” . They trained the Coordinators on the importance of electricity , how it works and how the electricity sector operates . They also informed them how our firm is trying to help them with proper connections and other benefits . The SCG team guided the Coordinators to spread this message among their people . As a result of our previous design tools , we understood that the people are mostly daily wagers and due to low or no income base , people residing in these clusters were unable to pay the electricity bills . To resolve this issue , we decide to bring in a new innovative model of “ Social Innovation ” . AS part of our strategy , we started many vocational training centers imparting many skills to these people . The idea was to empower them and change their attitude towards the company . The anticipated result was that they will agree for getting a legal connection and will be able to pay the bills regularly with their incomes from the learned skills . A third part of our learning launch is inclusion of CSR to help them develop a better relationship with our company . Since these clusters were deprived of many social privileges such as clean water , medical support , etc . so we provided them with clean drinking water and regular mobile dispensary . The SCG team worked closely with the corporate social responsibility team . The SCG team was mainly engaged in the planning of various initiatives that needed to be undertaken . The CSR group simultaneously , implemented various initiatives . The CSR initiatives were designed with objective that the philanthropic initiatives will help in building a relationship between the people and the firm .
Insight Learning launch tool has given me and my team great insights on the way the people of the clusters think and their way of life is . With learning launch , I now know that it ’s not always business decisions that give results but sometimes social initiatives really impact the business . By applying the learning launch tool , we learned a great deal about the way it needs to deal with these areas . We successfully brought over 70 % residents into the legal connection net by designing a three pronged strategy of business linked initiatives , philanthropic initiatives and compensatory initiatives . The revenue from these areas improved significantly . People started visiting more customer touch points and were discussing troubles regarding power supply . We were able to change the attitude of the people with the help of four major areas in these clusters , namely , Healthcare , Employability , Education and Entrepreneurship promotion . Although , The Coordinators learning launch concept did not produce the anticipated results . The Coordinators had either difficulty in understanding the concept in the right way . Many of them did not attend . Some did not spread the message ahead . Moving forward the SCG team is currently reviewing this insight and will incorporate a future launch design . Approach With learning launch tool and our previous design thinking activities / tools , we understood their behavioral attributes . For the success of our Coordinator Concept , we will be using the visualization and storytelling tools for effective dissemination of the information . Also the team shall be looking into deeper insights of the previous learning launch activities to reflect in future designs .

Because of the changing reading habits through digitalization my company seeks for different ways of interaction with readers . Therefore , it offered an innovation - competition . Together with four colleagues from different fields ( marketing , research , technical support ) my team and I applied . Selection By using different techniques such as mind mapping and brainstorming ( we also tried to visualize readers ) we asked ourselves the design - thinking questions : what is ? and what if ? Then we came up with an idea : What if people could not only read stories ( passive ) but could become active ? We wanted to create a club for readers . But every club needs a purpose for its members . Someone had the idea to set up a club for readers willing to engage in social projects . Immediately we came up with a great name for our idea – the “ helpers club ” . We were all enthusiastic but did not know if readers would like to become members of this new kind of club . Therefore , we started a learning launch to test it . Application At first , we did research and selected data to come up with a hypothesis . According to analysis from our department for reader research a lot of our readers are willing to spend money if they read stories about hardship , bad fate , or catastrophes in our magazines . Other social studies show that in general even more people are willing to help personally than to give money . We thereby confirmed our hypothesis that our readers might be willing to help others . We then decided to start an ethnographic approach , we wanted to look for potential club members , and ask them about their pains and needs . Therefore we started a call on the homepage of one of our magazines . We asked readers if they would be willing to talk with us about social engagement . We did about 25 interviews with people from various age groups . We asked them what social engagement means to them . If they have been engaged in social work before . What they had expected . How their experience was , what was good and what was not so good . And if they had stopped to be a social volunteer , why . Searching for candidates , talking to them , and then clustering the answers took our team about a week . Then we made up three personas . Insight By listening to our readers and potential members of the “ helpers club ” , we realized their pains – and what gains we might offer . First of all a huge majority said , that they would really like to help others . One man said : ” This is better than just giving money for a social project . ” Another woman hoped that she might get something back like thankfulness . And a third person said that it would be great if the magazine could identify social organizations and write stories about them . But we also realized that most of the people did not want to spend too much time ( 2 - 3 hours per week at last ) , that the offerings had to be near their neighborhood and many of them did not want a commitment on a regular basis . Most of the people only want to help when they can afford to spent time , e.g. on weekends .
We clustered the outcome of the interviews by drawing 3 personas – potential members of our new club : a young woman ( around 25 years old ) , a mid - aged man ( 50 to 55 years old , kids have moved out ) and an elderly woman ( 65 + years old , retired , yet still very fit and interested ) . We learned : Men and women in their thirties and forties can not afford spending much extra time , they are busy with family and job . Approach By doing ethnographic research we got a very good idea for the interests and needs of our readers and potential club - members . While clustering and curating the outcomes , our team appreciated the different approach of every team member . And we also realized that we are just at the beginning of having an idea . We want to start a second learning launch and identify organizations which might look for social volunteers . We want to speak to experts ( leaders of NGO´s ) and then to professional helpers to learn about their needs . We must look for competitors : Is there a market for social engagement ? What do social organizations offer already ? What else could the “ helpers club ” offer to make it attractive for readers ? The tools of design - thinking did not only help us to develop our idea so far – we also learned a lot about ourselves by discussing what we think about helping others and social entrepreneurship .

I am an Engineer and developing something new every day . I have so many new ideas in my brain but it sometimes difficult to let somebody recognize it is innovative and possibly make money .
2 . Selection
I selected “ Visualization ” as a thinking tool , because it is very important to show the new idea to somebody who may recognize the value of new idea . I saw many people who just talk about new idea lacking “ Visualization ” which ends up just a talk , not an innovation .
3 . Application
The best way to visualize an idea is to put it on the paper , presentation and cartoon which somebody can see . Sometimes , put in in a technical paper or in patent application is useful .
4 . Insight
A new idea is usually a combination of simple physics phenomena . Each phenomenon is very simple event even elementary school student understand . However , if several phenomena are mixed together , it looks complicated but it is simple .
5 . Approach
My approach is to break down complicated new idea into simple physics phenomena which elementary school student understand . In other words , if you can explain the new idea by combination of simple physics phenomenon , most likely , the new idea works well . Good test is to talk to kids or your wife , and if they buy that idea , “ Visualization ” is 80 % done .

Challenge
I am a college student and was a member of my college organization ’s research and
development team , me and my other members were working to make a mentoring event , which
was a bonding event for the new members of the organization with their mentors . This event
includes games , and lots of moving from one place to another ( classroom ) . We had to create
events with lots of games , lots of thinking , and lots of group activity . We only had 2 months to
prepare each event .
Selection
Me and my team were doing a visualization tool , but it was n’t that effective to create game
designs , so we change it into launch tool . So , with launching tool we made an experiment to
test our game ideas .
Application
First , we find what are the goals for this event , then we brainstormed and gather all of our ideas
into writings , then we selected the ones that suits out theme the most . We chose 5 games . After
we chose our games , we tested it within our team . We played it and see if it ’s fun and bonding
enough for the mentor and mentees , if we think there ’s something lacking out , we change the
game little bit to adjust our needs . We went through a whole day only to brainstormed and
tested out the games .
The second learning launch , we thought about how we would mobilize the mentor and mentees .
We made a building map , and then we chose which classrooms should we use for the games .
After that we made directions from the main classroom to each classroom , and the directions
to mobilize from classroom 1 to classroom 2 or from classroom 2 to classroom 4 , et cetera .
Also , we need to consider the time between the mobilization . We only had 3 hours for the event
so we need to make the most of our time and not waste our time on mobilization . After all of
that , we tested it with time . We spent a whole day just to maximize the mobilization .
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool , our team could design games that meet our needs , and it
was carried out pretty well . We made several plans , in case the main plan wo n’t work out . But
turns out it went smoothly . If we did n’t use the learning launch tool , I do n’t think the result
would be that smooth . Learning launch helped us to anticipate bad things that could happen at
the event .
Approach
Our team had gone through several design thinking tools and figured out that it was n’t effective
enough to prepare for the event , and finally we tried the learning launch and that went well . As
previously mentioned , our team needs to review the goals for our event , and after that we could
brainstorm ideas for the games . Will definitely use the learning launch tool for our next project .

smaller assemblies is built in its own area and some are more complex than others . Often the manufacturing process will be delayed waiting for the completion of a complex assembly . The challenge that we have is how can we reduce the time needed to build the more complex assemblies . All workstations are similar containing parts racks , tool boxes and work benches .
For this problem we will apply mind mapping to help us find and solve the largest and
most glaring problems first . What is happening now ? We assembled a team with diverse talents from all across the business to observe the build process .
Parts for the assembly are delivered in bins randomly , the assembler must search the bins
for parts needed in sequence . Sometimes there are variations in the assemblies requiring that the assembler leave the area to get hardware . The assembler spends a lot of time bending over to work on the assembly which is uncomfortable and causes fatigue . During brainstorming and observing the assembler , we asked what if ?
What if we changed the way parts are presented ? What if we assembled all hardware in
one place ? What if we made assembler comfort a priority ? We asked assemblers what they would like to make their job more efficient and they agreed that our findings were a great place to start .
All of these seem like good places to start and all seem feasible . So we will prototype our
new process . First we will present all the parts in their build sequence eliminating rummaging through bins . Next we will gather and organize all hardware that may be needed into bins on a rack in the workstation to eliminate the assembler having to walk all over to find it . Then we will raise the work surface so that the assembler is n’t bending and can easily see and reach his work reducing fatigue .
Indeed the prototype reduced the time taken to build an assembly considerably . We were
able to reduce unnecessary movement , We reduced ergonomic stress , The assembler was happy to have a more organized work area and took pride in the improvement in his productivity . While observing the new process it was decided to repeat the mind mapping process again to uncover even more opportunities for improvement .

Visual thinking is a powerful tool for anticipating the future our organization is building and achieving it more quickly . it ’s a set of tools and skills that work seamlessly with other philosophies and methodologies to support a more human - centered way of working ; because the marketing of a product requires these skills to ensure effective communication with customers and better meet their needs , so we must shed light on the role of visual thinking tools within the process of designing our business , it sparks the imagination , actively engages people , and gets them thinking about the big picture , and helps support group memory and productivity .
the objective was to produce footwear in a region in south Africa where most of them are not used to wearing it , it means that we are bringing a new product to this community
Application :
In order to market our new product and establish ourselves in a new market , the first step was to go out on the ground and visualize the lifestyle of the population , then we start collecting the information that we need to meet the need of the markets by doing some interviews with the future costumers by following those steps :
1 . Focus what you want to communicate and set your vision down on paper using a simple
drawing .
2 . Collect all the information and organize it into categories , defining a hierarchy and a reading
order .
3 . Assign a leading role to certain words and images . Remember that words describe , whereas
images represent .
4 . Convey emotion , capture attention with the basic rules of graphic design , photography and
cinema . Trust your insight , allow yourself to be driven by creativity .
5 . Make sure everyone can understand your representation and that it does not require further
explanation . It has to speak for itself !
; I proposed a survey on existing shoe models and we ask people to offer their opinion based on the information we have given for each model ; when l was writing this survey , I tried to respect the criteria already mentioned ( 4 and 5 ) , then I ask them to propose improvements to the design , the quality .. , and to better involve people in participating in this survey ; a price has been proposed for the best proposal ; by taking advantage of a weekly assembly they organize to attend a football match where most of the people are present ; thus to show them the importance of wearing sports shoes during the match
Insight & Approach What I have learned from conducting this exercise is that as an entrepreneur , you can consider how you can integrate visual thinking into your work and create visualizations around your vision , mission , value proposition , or workflow processes with your team to increase clarity and engagement . You can also create visualizations to engage your external stakeholders . If your business is relationship based , you can consider how you can develop visualizations to educate your clients around the solution that is right for them and the process you follow . If you consider the varying learning styles of your clients , including visualizations in your communications could not only educate them better , but also engage them in a unique way .

One of the challenges that I have taken into consideration is the process that we have in HR for transmission of payroll changes in terms of terminations , new hires , changes in salary etc … and how this is communicated to payroll for them to take the appropriate action . The process for many years has been paper action forms for each action which I had to manually create for each change that payroll needed to complete and send it to them . This seemed too cumbersome to complete for each payroll- i.e every two weeks . Selection : The tool I selected in the exercise was Visualization tool . This would enable the team and myself to clearly help in showing the process of what the problem is and how it can bring out ideas on how to use a better process for the problem stated . It would create a platform to generate , visualize and classify ideas to see different patterns and insights that are received .
Application : I started by using a whiteboard and different colors . The next step was to meet with the HR and payroll team and who are the key stakeholders in the process and get everyone together . The problem was written out in the center of the whiteboard , and everyone on the team discussed the intent of action forms , the process that was being followed , what the pros and cons were , how and why this process which was being implemented has been followed for so many years , have times changed , what are the other processed that can be followed using current trends which would be better aligned to the solution . All these were written out on the whiteboard using different colors . After the session , I used the whiteboard to create a view that combined the new insights from the group discussion , and then create a revised graphic that incorporated their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group .
Insight & Approach : Insight that I gained by using the mind mapping tool was that it is a great way to create a shared understanding between multiple teams/ stakeholders in different roles . Creating visual depiction of the problem gets everyone to understand the problem in the same way and helps getting everyone at the same page quicker . Another great use that I found for visualization in this whole process is clearly defined , and everyone is able to see the problem , and what the solutions can be taken in a very visual way that makes sense . This enabled the group to see that this process of completing action forms was quite outdated , and easier version which still captures the whole process and keeps the integrity intact would work with using an excel sheet . This process was very I plan to use visualization tool more often in my future projects which need to solve such complex problems in a diverse group of people .

Although my challenge may seem a bit different and not so much business - oriented , I personally believe that design thinking can be applied in all aspects of our lives which is why I have the chosen the following prompt . Throughout my first months at university , I rarely had an enjoyable night out , whether it be in a pub , a student night - club or organised events . I was frustrated and disappointed that I was not going to enjoy my social experiences as much as I initially thought which left me wanting to create my own event . Since then , I have partnered up with my course - mate to create our project : Youphoria , which is still very new and has a long way to go before our first event . The biggest challenge we have encountered in planning our event is the way in which we will convey that our event will be different to present events . We want to deliver a service which adheres to customer wants that they currently can not experience in London nightlife and capitalize on what makes it special . Selection of Design Thinking Tool Due to the nature of my challenge , I found that the visualization tool learned in Week 1 will especially help in overcoming our obstacle in trying to find creative ways in order to differentiate the service we will be offering as opposed to ones offered by current competitors . I believe that the visualization tool will help us think in a non - verbal way and help us realise that limiting ourselves to language for communication will not bring us very far in trying to understand each other ’s vision and end - goal for the project , therefore removing the obstacle of miss - communication and miss - interpretation as well as fuelling our projects full of creative and eccentric ideas . Application In the beginning , we organised a workshop which sought to capture the general feeling our fellow - university students seek when going on a night - out in London . In order to get the above data , we decided to organise a workshop by inviting 6 of our friends and asked them to list out the top 3 emotions they were looking to experience on a night out as well as the top 3 emotions they generally have felt in the past . This resulted in finding some general patterns of students feeling claustrophobic , disappointed and not meeting initial expectations during an everyday night out , as well as wanting to look for a euphoric , ambient and comfortable experience in their ideal night out . Although we did get some good results in finding a general trend that students were disappointed with current night outs and seek similar feelings that they are not currently experiencing , we were still lost in finding ways to differentiate our event from current ones alongside responding to the wants and expectations of students on a night out in London . This is where I decided to apply the visualization tool in a second workshop , where I believed that getting students to draw out their ideal night - out , with colours , words , emotions , and then describe each drawing , we would be able to better comprehend what these students are specifically looking for in an exceptional social event . We therefore organised such workshop relatively soon after the first one where we asked 6 students to draw out their ideal night - out for as long as they wanted to and then have a sit- down meeting where students would present their visions individually to the group with their drawing as the main focal point of their presentation . Following the workshop , we had a better understanding of what they were looking for in an ideal night - out . Through the presentations , my partner and I were able to identify four main factors which we will be building on to organise our events , the first being genre of music , followed by location , decoration and finally , ambiance / atmosphere of the event . Insight Through the use of the visualization tool , my partner and I were able to better understand not only what students felt was lacking in the events they attended throughout the year , but also understood which angles to capitalize on during the development of our project . Without this tool , we would not have been able to identify clearly what students were feeling during current night - outs as we understood that words can not convey feeling as much as we thought it would . The drawings created by the 6 students not only gave us ideas about how we
understood which angles to capitalize on during the development of our project . Without this tool , we would not have been able to identify clearly what students were feeling during current night - outs as we understood that words can not convey feeling as much as we thought it would . The drawings created by the 6 students not only gave us ideas about how we personally visualized the project , but the description of each of their drawings seriously helped us identify what these students felt needed to be improved which we concluded were the quality and genres of songs ; the way in which DJs made transitions between songs and genres and at which point during the night ; the type of decorations and how they should only be there to improve the general atmosphere of the area instead of confusing the crowd ; the type of location that is ideal for such an event : one with a terrace and two different rooms ; and finally the price of the event , which needs to be affordable for university students living on tight budgets . Without this course , I would not have thought outside the box creatively to seek and understand what my customer ’s wants are and what why these wants are not currently met . Now that we understand the above , we are able to advance with the development of our project . Approach Now that I have implemented one of the 4 design thinking tools learned throughout this course and have experienced the benefits which come from using such techniques and general thought - process , I am sure to continuously make use of these techniques . Another aspect of my life in which I believe visualization will help me is that of my job as an event planner in an economics society at my university . Our goals are to find out what connections , experiences , information , talks students are looking for before they begin their professional lives and believe that getting students to draw out what their ideal vocational paths look like in order for us to then analyse their descriptions of their drawings and then support them in any way we can , but in a better way , as it will permit us to strongly grasp what students are looking for in our society , and how they want us to help them set them up on their path to success as opposed to filling out general surveys for us to then make blind decisions about what is best for the students through only using personal experiences and aspirations of team- members .

### Input: Challenge : I am a first year university student in London looking to make the most out of my higher- education experience . Although my challenge may seem a bit different and not so much business - oriented , I personally believe that design thinking can be applied in all aspects of our lives which is why I have the chosen the following prompt . Throughout my first months at university , I rarely had an enjoyable night out , whether it be in a pub , a student night - club or organised events . I was frustrated and disappointed that I was not going to enjoy my social experiences as much as I initially thought which left me wanting to create my own event . Since then , I have partnered up with my course - mate to create our project : Youphoria , which is still very new and has a long way to go before our first event . The biggest challenge we have encountered in planning our event is the way in which we will convey that our event will be different to present events . We want to deliver a service which adheres to customer wants that they currently can not experience in London nightlife and capitalize on what makes it special . Selection of Design Thinking Tool Due to the nature of my challenge , I found that the visualization tool learned in Week 1 will especially help in overcoming our obstacle in trying to find creative ways in order to differentiate the service we will be offering as opposed to ones offered by current competitors . I believe that the visualization tool will help us think in a non - verbal way and help us realise that limiting ourselves to language for communication will not bring us very far in trying to understand each other ’s vision and end - goal for the project , therefore removing the obstacle of miss - communication and miss - interpretation as well as fuelling our projects full of creative and eccentric ideas . Application In the beginning , we organised a workshop which sought to capture the general feeling our fellow - university students seek when going on a night - out in London . In order to get the above data , we decided to organise a workshop by inviting 6 of our friends and asked them to list out the top 3 emotions they were looking to experience on a night out as well as the top 3 emotions they generally have felt in the past . This resulted in finding some general patterns of students feeling claustrophobic , disappointed and not meeting initial expectations during an everyday night out , as well as wanting to look for a euphoric , ambient and comfortable experience in their ideal night out . Although we did get some good results in finding a general trend that students were disappointed with current night outs and seek similar feelings that they are not currently experiencing , we were still lost in finding ways to differentiate our event from current ones alongside responding to the wants and expectations of students on a night out in London . This is where I decided to apply the visualization tool in a second workshop , where I believed that getting students to draw out their ideal night - out , with colours , words , emotions , and then describe each drawing , we would be able to better comprehend what these students are specifically looking for in an exceptional social event .

Challenge :
My challenge is linked to the concept of “ what is the nature tourism ? ” I would like to develop an innovative and added value tourism project linked to nature but , I do not have any specific background or job experience linked to tourism . So , I have been searching and reading a lot of information about what is nature tourism , trying to read online forums about this subject to get some inputs from real nature tourists .
Selection :
To address main challenge I selected the Mind Mapping tool . This tool allows me to map all the topics linked to the subject and to have a more clear view on their interactions and connections . In this specific case , as I do not have any experience in this business , I need to map all the information and data collected this tool helped me to organize the information and the data gathered from this business and from online forums from nature tourists . Using it permits me not only to have the information but to have a visual form of all the topics and how they connect to each other . This tool is used during the “ what is ? ” phase of design thinking , so I realized that this should be the better tool for me to use while I want to better understand what is nature tourism .
Application :
As I was reading the information and collecting the data , I was writing , what for me were the most important topics , in post - it . After every reading I grouped the post - it by specific topics and gave a name to each group of post - its . In the meantime , in a large piece of paper I wrote the subject I wanted to better understand , “ nature tourism ” , at the center of this paper . Then I fixed all the post - it in the paper , building up the Mind Map .
Insight :
From not knowing nothing about the nature tourism to have a good view of what are the main topics that it is necessary to take care before entering this type of business . I got three main insights while building and analyzing the Mind Map : different type of customers and their requests , especially in terms of services ; location is a key topic to enter and develop this type of business and sustainability is a very important and trendy topic that needs to be addressed in a very careful way . Having all these topics in a visual form gave me a more detailed vision on what this business is about in a faster way .
Approach :
This time I did this exercise by myself and only based on the read information and data gathered . I did it like this because I wanted to better investigate , starting from zero information , about this type of business . Next time I will do it , trying to involve a group of friends that usually do some nature tourism trips .

Challenge
Working as part of a consulting team for a client looking to digitize their processes to better serve their customers , we were facing a challenge to align different stakeholders ( eg . product , strategy , IT teams etc . ) to arrive at a common understanding of the problem statement . Due to the lack of a shared vision , there were hurdles in progressing with the project further and needed to be resolved soon .
Selection
Visualization as a tool , we realized , would allow these teams to see the problem statement from each other ’s lens making them more understanding of the scope , the customers ’ needs and the challenges each functional team was facing in execution .
Application
On our end , we conducted a journey mapping exercise for different stakeholders ( customers , middlemen etc . ) to identify the current process ( we called it “ as - is ” ) , their pain points , our proposed solutions to address these pain points leading to a creation of a desired digital process ( we named it “ to- be ” ) . These “ to - be ” processes needed support from multiple teams like product development , IT support etc .
For our workshop with the client , in a conference room , we invited all the teams and placed the posters of the stakeholders ’ journeys on the walls . We arranged them as per the story we wanted to tell the teams . We gave them a guided tour of the journeys and pain points , requested feedback , and encouraged cross - team discussions for arriving at a common ground .
Insight
We had earlier interacted with these teams individually but there were always some reservations , from their side , on the need for a solution or the resources available for developing them . Also , the teams were focused on their part of problem statement and thus , were unable to approach it holistically .
This exercise of alignment through visualization and storytelling led to the resolution of some differences amongst these teams and , laid bare the constraints they were facing . In addition , there were some unique solutions and approaches that came to the fore which were better than what we were suggesting as they were able to view the customers ’ needs from a the viewpoint of a cross - functional team .
Approach
This exercise was a breakthrough for our team to progress further with the project , but I felt that we could have done such an exercise of visualization earlier and more frequently . During the process of developing the journeys for stakeholders , we could have conducted workshops at intermittent stages to build alignment earlier and the output would have been much better with the expertise of these cross- functional teams .

Challenge :
Designing a new product line always been a challenge for designers . Any design process go through various stages , like observing and analysing the present situation , what are the problem creating areas or the areas which can be yet redefined and finding relevant solution for it . Any design solution can be an added feature in the currently available product or it can be a complete new product .
I happened to design a cloth organizer for common house targeting mid salary range users . It was observed mostly rooms get cluttered because of unorganised cloths . The small size of room in such houses makes it look more messy and untidy . Currently available wardrobe does n’t serve it much competently . It can be understood , present wardrobe are designed only for storage of fresh washed cloths .
Though there is a provision in storage pattern as cloths can be stacked or hanged accordingly but there is no provision of keeping soiled cloths ( probably after one / two wear ) and dirty cloths piled for laundry ( and even where to keep laundry bins ) .
So the challenge is to design a complete cloth organiser .
Selection & application :
A team of three people was created and targeted to get more insights on real time problem and real situation of a wardrobe user on everyday basis .
To get this situation clearer , I used the tool of visualization . To create a cycle of cloths from washed and stacked form till it goes to laundry bin . The simple graphical presentations of the situation made the scenario very clear to each team member , and there was active participation and inputs from different team member and better understanding of the problem area . Visualization tool helped to understand the clear scenario of a common household . Inputs through simple sketches / or images made it easier to realise how current situation needs to be improved and what all needs to be included in the targeted design solution .
The final graphical input came in the form of relevant image collections and putting it in the sequence . This simple technique encouraged more participation and hence increased number of varied inputs .
The technique of visualization can be realized in better way ref . lecture : 1st week
visualization tool of Coursera ; Design Thinking and Visualization by Design Ideation.wmv ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usX9vkxK5xA ) .
Insight & approach :
Describing a common household situation and its understanding in the simpler way team understood the problem of common people and everyday scenario . Once wore cloths are kept on the doors or chairs ( as it ’s sweated and don feel like mixing with washed clean cloths ) . Currently designed wardrobes are closed entity so no provision for airing of sweated or soiled cloths . Two three days soiled cloths are either hanged ( not to ruin the creases ) or piled somewhere . The complete dirty cloths ready to go to bin are kept in laundry bin , but the bin itself kept somewhere inside table or behind the door .
The learning came in the way that through this method of using graphical presentation and discussion each thought was getting circulated in the team more clearly in less time .
Simple use of stick figure or through geometrical shapes encouraged more active participation and thus varieties of approach towards a common goal . And I believe visualization is the only language of imagination .
Given now we have various inputs on the current scenario , work will flow through various stages towards prototyping , as the desired product needs to cater the various requirements and needs to be more effective and better organiser as compared to the present available solution .

Challenge
Being a management student at a premier B School in India , I have to go through intense rigour of completing pre - class assignments , readings , submissions , quizzes , assignments , projects , mid - term and end - term exams , let alone non - academic events and activities . At times , for the sake of meeting deadlines , submissions are done without a comprehensive grasp and understanding of the issue or the subject at hand . Regardless of the grades received , there is always an uneasiness about the control on the subject , and it perturbed me a lot . Expecting that all the students have gone through the pre- read assignments and readings , the professors did not start from the basics , thus further compounding the issue and uneasiness . We used to get lost in the trees , not knowing the extent of the woods .
I felt that there was a need to re - design and re - orient the course curriculum in a way that the students receive a visual representation of the same , making it not only more effective but also time - efficient . I , along with my friends , too a test - subject , an existing course , and realigned the same as per the principles of Design Thinking .
The Tool
Take for instance the subject of Corporate Finance or Financial Management . An organization faces a numerous issues when it comes of Financial Management , but , during the course , we were not able to fit all the understanding of those issues into bigger scheme of things . This is where the Visualization tool came to our rescue . It helped us to re - orient the course curriculum of Financial Management in a way that we had a better grasp of the issue and how to navigate through those “ trees ’ , while still keeping the extent of “ woods ” , at the back of our head .
Application
We created various categories , or , as we used to call them , baskets , for each and every topic in the course of Financial Management . Then we not only identified the common threads , linking those baskets , but also the sequence of those threads in that network .
For instance , take the issues of “ stock buyback ” and “ dividend pay - out ” faced by any publicly listed organization . We were taught there two issues separately in the Financial Management class , without knowing that they come under the broad umbrella of “ problem of excess cash reserve ” , which further came under the umbrella of “ distribution of funds ” . Through a network of “ common threads ” ( paying money back , in this case ) , we were able to eliminate or merge these fragmented baskets and were able to conceptualize the entire Corporate Finance as Raising of Funds , Investing of Funds and Paying Back of funds . This simple visualization helped many a student , fresh off the undergraduate college to understand the elusive corporate finance as nothing but the aforementioned three simple decisions , with sub - categories in them .
Insight and Approach
I think Design Thinking helped me “ restructure ” the problem at hand in a way that the issue is addressed from the most fundamental level ; it made me think from the most elemental aspects and employ a bottom - up approach to the problem , something which I was missing earlier . As far the challenge , is concerned , it is no longer a challenge anymore .
The applicability of Design Thinking cuts wide areas , and I could not have thought that it could be applied even to re - design or re - orient an academic course curriculum . I am looking forward to use this experience and apply the same to other courses as well , even recommending the faculty members about it positive reception among the students , thus bridging the learning gap we all were facing .

### Input: Design Thinking in Designing Academic Curriculum – Visualization
Challenge
Being a management student at a premier B School in India , I have to go through intense rigour of completing pre - class assignments , readings , submissions , quizzes , assignments , projects , mid - term and end - term exams , let alone non - academic events and activities . At times , for the sake of meeting deadlines , submissions are done without a comprehensive grasp and understanding of the issue or the subject at hand . Regardless of the grades received , there is always an uneasiness about the control on the subject , and it perturbed me a lot . Expecting that all the students have gone through the pre- read assignments and readings , the professors did not start from the basics , thus further compounding the issue and uneasiness . We used to get lost in the trees , not knowing the extent of the woods .
I felt that there was a need to re - design and re - orient the course curriculum in a way that the students receive a visual representation of the same , making it not only more effective but also time - efficient . I , along with my friends , too a test - subject , an existing course , and realigned the same as per the principles of Design Thinking .
The Tool
Take for instance the subject of Corporate Finance or Financial Management . An organization faces a numerous issues when it comes of Financial Management , but , during the course , we were not able to fit all the understanding of those issues into bigger scheme of things . This is where the Visualization tool came to our rescue . It helped us to re - orient the course curriculum of Financial Management in a way that we had a better grasp of the issue and how to navigate through those “ trees ’ , while still keeping the extent of “ woods ” , at the back of our head .
Application

Challenge & Selection
The first tool I used was the visualization tool . To make the stake holders to
understand the current problem of the situation . In the past six months ago I meet with the knee surgery and I was bed ridden for around 1month . When I was in the hospital after the post - surgery I was observed that some people are paralyzed and unable to convey their basic needs to their attendees when they are not available near to them . So this situation impacts me a lot so that this situation makes me to take a challenge and discover robustly something to fulfil their basic need .
Application
After considering the situation , I made a survey that what are the various diseases
which are related to my considered situation . I found some list of the diseases like bell palsy , brochasaphasia , partially paralysed , facial paralysis , etc . This are the major diseases which was found the in my research .
After sorting the diseases , I researched depth in this diseases like what the key issues
they are facing , which country has the most patients , what type of the climate is favourable to it , which is the increment percentage of this diseases from the past five years , etc . After my research I conclude that if we can make one device which communicates with the patient ’s attendees for the basic needs and keep track of their health record for the future analysis .
I made a device by named patients gesture tracking and pulse monitoring through
IOT . What this device do means is will measure the gesture angles of the patients like if we setup this device to the hand it will measure the hand gesture or if it is fixed to the foot it will measure the foot gestures . Before we fix this device we will fix certain values for the particular gesture depending upon their requirement . Whenever the patient make this gesture this device will capture the movements and gives the certain type of the alarm sound for the different gesture so that the attendee can know that what are they require so that they can attend to them quickly .
In this device we also placing the pulse monitoring sensor and heart rate monitoring
sensor so that it will capture the each and data of the patient . We are connecting to the iot severs so that it will store the data of the patient dynamically as time goes on . So by uploading this data to the cloud we access this data whenever we want and it helps the doctor to treat the patient as better as possible . And I started experimenting this device for the various persons who are effected with this disease at the various locations and made a notes of every person track record and found what are the pros and cons of this by selecting the various persons of the different age groups .
Insight & Approach
What I learnt by conducting this experiment by the different groups is that this was
inconvenient to the person who are highly paralysed and bed ridden from many days they are feeling some discomfort by wearing continuous this device . So I will make corrections in constructing the design of the body which is more convenient for continuous wearing .
Since I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning , by
using the visualization tool as a starting point for a series of design thinking activities . By using this design tool , I rectified my major mistakes which I was stuck before .

Challenge & Selection
Storytelling is the tool I use daily with my customers . I work as a furniture designer , so all the time I tried to create a connection with them so I can get what they need and then make a clear proposal to them . For me is really important to have an emotional connection with my clients , I think is the key of my business because that causes confidence . With this my clients appreciate my work , my team and our effort for creating something that they just imagine and sometimes think it ’s impossible .
Application
My first contact with them is really digital , so I really tried to be or write them clearly and very familiar . I always ask them personal things to bond with them . Most of the clients have an idea , but they do n’t know too much about materials or details , so at this point , we make recommendations , show them some other works , tell them our experience in other projects and it ’s where we just earned their trust . We made a drawing to the client , so they can visualize the project and feel comfortable with our proposal . Our goal is to solve their problem with space , order and we give them a plus with design and functionality . For example , I´m in a Facebook group of enterprising mothers . We all support each other by recommending our businesses . One of my clients from this group want a renovation for her kitchen , so I contact her by the phone and talked to her , asking many things regarding her needs . When finally , I understood what she needs , I asked her for have an appointment and I went with my partner so we can show the client materials , explained her the difference between them , we showed her other kitchens that we made and we designed something especial for her space . I feel that when you share your experience with other clients , you build trust , everything becomes clearer and a personal bond is created with people . And for a business that is run 100 % online , trust is very important .
Insight & Approach
The communication part is always a challenge , if the client does not know how to express what he thinks , it is difficult to come up with an idea that he likes . We always make a visit with the client and we work on several ideas with him so he can be clear about what he is looking for . We work together the time is necessary until the client approved the project . And sometimes we have to share our mistakes so they can have understood why we are not going to do it that way , and why is better the solution we are proposing .
This course made me identify areas of opportunity . Because I assume that the people who work with me know that they must share their history , their experience , connect with the client , but I think it is extremely important to exploit this storytelling tool .
It seems to me that I should exploit with my team selling a story , that connects with more people , that leaves its mark and that solves a problem visually to make it easier to understand . I understood that by telling a story you build lasting relationships with your true clients .
I know I have work to do , identify the story I want to share so that it can be transmitted from person to person and my brand becomes human and remains engraved in the memory of many . Thanks for open my mind .

It involves the usage of PMMA , a volatile substance that evaporates and on prolonged exposure causes respiratory diseases such as Asthma and bronchial irritation . This adds as an occupational hazard for dentists . Since there is no other chemical to replace the substance , our team tried to think of an innovative way to deal with the challenge . Our challenge was trying to convey the solution to the 40 people involved since not everyone saw the solution similarly in their heads . Tool Selection – Visualization “ Visualization is really important . For the process of design because it 's actually a way of unlocking a different part of brain . It allows us to think in a nonverbal way . Visualization is n't really about drawing , though . 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 . ” Video – Visualization Tool Module 1 . We specifically used this tool of visualization because it helped us convey the message to each other in the team and even to our senior staff in an easier way to make sure we were all in the same thought process . When working with large teams , ideas conveyed by words get lost in conversation . A detailed visualization chart helped us to get rid of the barrier . Tool Application – We used this technique to try and visualize an easier way to dispense the material without the interaction of it ’s fumes with the respiratory passage by using an empty card board box attached with a paper made exhaust fan , wondering what it would be like to use the material in a closed space with the fumes being directed elsewhere and thereby decreasing exposure .
We drew diagrams and tried explaining the tool to our supervisors . It was an effective way to explain the process to our seniors . Insights – The insight gained here was that visualization can help ensure our thoughts are all drawing a similar picture . It also helped us see the limitations that could come by restricted use of space that would be brought forth and helped us all find solutions for it . It helped us manage the problem effectively as everyone was seeing a similar picture and identifying the same set - up which saved our time trying to convey the idea across to everyone . Approach – Using any other tool would n’t have been helpful as our problem was trying to get the message across to a large group of people . Story telling or Mind Mapping would be inefficient as no one would be seeing the solution placed in front of them as we did with visualizing the process .
