You are a PII (Personal Identity Information) Detection. Given a essays written by students, you have to identify ONLY the following:
NAME_STUDENT - The full or partial name of a student that is not necessarily the author of the essay. This excludes instructors, authors, and other person names.
EMAIL - A student’s email address.
USERNAME - A student's username on any platform.
ID_NUM - A number or sequence of characters that could be used to identify a student, such as a student ID or a social security number.
PHONE_NUM - A phone number associated with a student.
URL_PERSONAL - A URL that might be used to identify a student.
STREET_ADDRESS - A full or partial street address that is associated with the student, such as their home address. | VISUALIZATION Challenge & Selection : I am a marketing profession and work in an organization where our team members are based in different offices and different time zones ( Asia & US ) . We do a lot of conference calls to update each other about on - going project . These are all voice calls so there is no way to know if they are paying attention or understand the contents through facial expression . We usually talk either early in morning means night for the other team members who are tired from the working day . Calls are usually 60 minutes long so we need to manage the amount of information presented and discussion between the members . To ensure that the other team members that are on the conference calls have an accurate understanding of my contents quickly , I present information using visualization . Application : Following are the guidelines I apply when I prepare presentation :
• Use of images , videos , charts , infographics , tables , etc . They capture the team ’s attention and simplified complicated information .
• Slides in bullet points instead of long paragraphs so that they will listen to me , instead of reading the slides .
• Keep the number of slides to minimum .
They have been effective for me to communicate my thoughts and bring everyone onto the same level of understanding effectively . By using such tools , they also stimulate the right brain thinking and set the stage for creative thinking .
Insight & Approach The appropriate selection of images and videos is important . Since there is culture diversity within the team , an image that ’s very popular in Asia may not means the same in US . Also , I have to be mindful about the amount of information that I want in a chart or infographic . Sometimes , I put too much in one and questions that were asked are more than I could handle . I feel that I did n’t manage to go deeper into some questions and uncover those unarticulated needs . Moving forward , I would also prepare open ended question that would help to solicit comments . It is important to focus on creating new possibilities , rather than constraining the team to give feedbacks that are within the existing solutions . Time management is key as well . Where necessary , I would extend the calls to 90 minutes in order to achieve quality conversations , rather than rushing through the contents and dicussion in 60 minutes .

It helped me pass my ideas through very quickly to make it simple I was able to transfer what I saw in my head into paper so the my team can understand what I am planning to do my business better . Before I turn into visualization I use to do a lot of talking with my team to pass my ideas and that time I ca n’t afford and visualization helped to save time and make my idea ’s more clearer and understandable to my team which in return they used the same method to pass their idea ’s to me and some of their ideas were extremely good and authentic which I need it in the first place for my business to run smoothly . Application The process started when my coffee shop was criticized for it atmosphere as I heard from customers which they told me they enjoy the coffee and cold drinks I serve but they did n’t enjoy the theme of the coffee shop from the seating and the color of the walls . My place is located in city between business towers most of my customers are working class and they range from bankers to secretaries . Before I figured my coffee shop should be formal since most of customers are working - in - office class . I used the concept design from the book “ Exploration and Innovation in Design ” by Navinchandra , D. I changed the coffee shop design in and out . I changed the sign I add some color lights baby blue and dark blue colors not very strong lights so the customers can notice but not be bothered by the color when they look . Inside the coffee shop I changed the seating from the regular chairs to sofas and I added carpets to the floor instead of wooden floor . I figured what ’s more important than the taste of drinks is customers must feel they are at home . They will spend more time inside the place . I discovered that people are drawn to other people by nature meaning If the coffee shop is full of people even if they ordered one drink other people will come in to see why are so many people are sitting inside this coffee shop
Insight & Approach What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that while the graphic – especially the revised graphic that incorporates their feedback – is important for reinforcing their understanding of the problem they are working to solve , the more valuable aspect of the activity is the shared insights and shared learning that occurs while they are working to define their problem space . The graphic gives the diverse group of stakeholders a focal point for discussion that allows them to share their perspectives and develop insights into potential root causes of their problems . While they could create the graphic from a blank slate in a collaborative manner , starting with a straw man jump starts the conversation for them . They can quickly identify where they are in the graphic – or if they are missing – and can more quickly gain new insights about relationships between key entities instead of taking time to identify them . They can also identify variables in the problem space – that is , it helps them to identify what they do n’t know , in what areas they need to obtain information or data to provide the values for the variables . The most important thing that I discovered that people are drawn to other people by nature the best advertisement any business can get is word of mouth as people trust in personal experience from friends and family so my key to change was to switch from the office/ professional “ feel ” of my coffee shop to a cozy “ feel ” and started to build relationships with customers by remembering names and greeting them by it once they come in . the change process was not easy as it cost a lot of money and I had to close for week but what was easy is explaining the change to team through the visualization process and my team also , my team were able to pitch ideas of their own and the process was very fast . In fact , if it was n’t for the visualization process I would have taken a longer time implementing the change process since once everything is visualized you can see what works and what wo n’t work . My ultimate goal is grow my business and turn into a chain . I am thinking of having theme coffee shops and every branch could have its own theme that would make my place more appealing to different customers with different preferences . It ’s a long way to come but it can happen through applying correct innovation concepts and ideas .

I recently needed to communicate detailed and complex financial information about my condominium building in a way that could be quickly understood by fellow homeowners in the association . In effect , I was challenged to communicate what is ( where things stand ) and what if ( the outcome of alternative decisions ) to help the group choose the future financial direction of our condominium community . I chose visualization to inform and persuade my neighbors .
Shortly after being elected president of the homeowners association ( HOA ) at my condominium community , I came to realize that our reserve account ( funds set aside specifically to pay for capital maintenance ) was probably not sufficiently funded . I was n’t certain of the extent of the shortfall and wanted more information to help the HOA Board guide and recommend different scenarios for homeowner dues . If the HOA Board recommended an increase , we ’d need approval from 2/3 of the owners – and we did n’t expect raising dues would be an easy sell .
I suggested that the HOA hire an outside engineering company to conduct a reserve study . The purpose of this study is to give us an objective appraisal of the condition of the building systems and associated costs and timing for maintenance or replacement . The findings from the study were not unexpected : there is a lot of big - ticket maintenance work anticipated in the coming years , and some of those years are coming soon . If we did not increase dues , owners could anticipate regular individual annual “ special ” assessments of $ 15 - 20 K , in addition to the regular operating budget . In addition to providing us with a roadmap for capital maintenance plans and expenses , the report also outlined recommended funding levels to avoid special assessments to meet the anticipated financial need .
Selection & Application of Visualization Tool
The reserve study report is long ( some 65 pages ! ) with technical detail outlining the age and condition of the common elements of the building along with anticipated replacement dates and costs . It is a lot of information to take in , and I was doubted that most owners would take the time to read and absorb such a detailed technical report . Visual thinking helped me to sort through detailed and complex information and clearly communicate that to owners in a way that could be quickly and easily understood .
I synthesized the information from the report by “ bucketing ” anticipated projects for the short , medium and long - term using the format shown at the top of the next page . Since the purpose was to communicate the anticipated projects and associated monetary scope , individual project costs were not included on this summary . This summary was sent to owners along with full study report for those who wished to study the information in full detail .
Capital Maintenance Projects
Years 2020 - 2022 2023 - 2025 2026 - 2030 2031 - 2035 2036 - 2040
Estimated Cost of Projects $ 400 K $ 650 K $ 900 K $ 700 K $ 2.0 M
Anticipated
Maintenance Items
Project 1 Project 2 Project 3 Project 4
Project 5 Project 6 Project 7 Project 8 Project 9 Project 10 Project 11 Project 12
Project 2 ( b ) Project 10 ( b ) Project 13
Project 3 ( b ) Project 10 ( c ) Project 14 Project 15 Project 16 Project 17 Project 18 Project 19
Project 1 ( b ) Project 2 ( c ) Project 9 ( b ) Project 20 Project 21 Project 22 Project 23 Project 24
Insight
In the end , this problem is about money : who will pay for needed capital maintenance , and when ? Should the costs of future maintenance be borne by current residents or future residents ? Should capital maintenance be paid for through funds reserved over time or through special assessments levied at the time of need ? How the ownership chose to handle this issue would ultimately affect both the desirability and the value of the real estate .
The opportunity to get owners ’ focused attention to this issue came unexpectedly when the roof of our then 13 - year old building failed and could not be repaired – some seven years before its life expectancy . Reserve funds were insufficient to cover the cost of replacement , so the HOA assessed each individual owner for two - thirds of the cost of the new roof . Individual assessments ranged from $ 3600-$5500 .
Nearly all the owners agreed that the projected need of $ 1MM+ over the next six years was a liability that would make our real estate less desirable – who would want to buy a condo in our building if they knew there would be large variable expense every year , in addition to operating expense ? By the time we held a vote , all but one owner was persuaded that increasing monthly dues to fund our building reserves according to the recommended schedule in the reserve study was the right thing to do .
Approach
The communication of information was the starting point in this discussion with the owners , and visualization was a great way to quickly and clearly communicate the information needed for the board to make recommendations and for owners to make decisions . I incorporated another visualization tool into the budget communication : a simple stacked bar graph that showed the proportion of dues payments that would go toward funding the reserves , per the recommended plan . Residents were able to see that our community is on the path to financial stability – and were willing share the costs with future owners by paying higher monthly dues now rather than risking responsibility for a large assessment in the future – or having a hard - to- sell real estate investment .

I am a student at the Sarchí University - Ecuador . I am currently studying the
topic of product design in the Production Engineering career and one of the biggest
challenges during this semester has been being able to transmit my ideas , my story behind
the final product and obtain a good reception from my clients since This project goes
beyond this semester since it is a personal project from now on and this is my great
challenge .
Selection
I have focused my energies on understanding the client 's needs , transmitting my
experiences during this project and being able to share with them my vision of what I offer
as a designer . I have attended virtual talks , however , I have not been able to exemplify my
ideas with all the knowledge acquired , for me the storytelling tool is the best alternative to
emerge in the field of communication with the client since this tool is used by great leaders
of brands and companies that have a great history behind what they are today , a strategy
that connects with the emotions , character , values of the people who will use this product , a
great tool in the business world . and I consider this to be my best choice .
Application
The first step in applying this tool was to recognize my audience by using
interviews and open - ended questions about their design preferences about my first product
called " Multi Lamp " . In order to ask good questions , I choosed to listen , study and learn
from a brand that is a world leader today , Coca Cola its progress and difficulties , how it
became known worldwide , its scopes , its current and future purposes as a brand to create
my own story , like why a lamp ? what was my motivation ?
My story is inspired by long hours of study my parents lived in a room where a
lamp was perhaps the most modern thing they had on hand . My parents say that in their
time at university , when they were married at an early age , their only friend was a lamp .
For to study , they could not extend their study hours at home because they lived in a small
place with my grandparents , they studied long hours at night . This is the story that I want to
convey , I want people to value what modernity offers us .
For what I offer my clients that same lamp , but renovated with accessories that
perhaps they did not think they could include , all in one object with various designs ,
models , and unlike the first lamp that my parents had , I want to offer continuous
improvements , the reliability that my product expresses , all the way traveled and yet to be
traveled , the renewed vision that I want to ofert my audience . My biggest challenge is to be
able to transmit my story , because this product is so important to me and the benefits to my
clients , the scope achieved and my long - term vision , a varied production line ( bedroom
accessories ) in no time , being able to position my first product in the main supermarkets of
the city , after the country and why not internationally . my story is my best strategy to
access more groups of people , get their attention , without forgetting my group of friends
who are within this project , people with vision , friends , their advice , criticism , who are the
essence of this project .
Insight
One of the most optimistic responses I got from my interviewees was the reception
capacity I received when I told my story briefly , without bragging , acting simply , showing
my wishes with a product designer , the beginning of what could be my development in the
professional world . Not every listener reacts in the same way , but this tool has managed to
attract the attention of a larger group of people . This tool allowed me to get more attention
from the public that already knew me , everyone watches the movement of my hands , my
inspiration when telling my project without forgetting the people who support me . In other
instances , I would not have chosen to tell my story .
Approach
Product design has been a part of my university career that I have considered as a
future in the workplace , so I would like to expand my knowledge about design , but above
all , to be able to reach a certain audience regardless of what product I want to offer , I want
to feel the satisfaction of my clients , transfer my ideas as my own to my clients . I will Use
this storytelling tool today as a student , but one day I want to be the one to tell a great story
starting today .

topic of product design in the Production Engineering career and one of the biggest
challenges during this semester has been being able to transmit my ideas , my story behind
the final product and obtain a good reception from my clients since This project goes
beyond this semester since it is a personal project from now on and this is my great
challenge .
Selection
I have focused my energies on understanding the client 's needs , transmitting my
experiences during this project and being able to share with them my vision of what I offer
as a designer . I have attended virtual talks , however , I have not been able to exemplify my
ideas with all the knowledge acquired , for me the storytelling tool is the best alternative to
emerge in the field of communication with the client since this tool is used by great leaders
of brands and companies that have a great history behind what they are today , a strategy
that connects with the emotions , character , values of the people who will use this product , a
great tool in the business world . and I consider this to be my best choice .
Application
The first step in applying this tool was to recognize my audience by using
interviews and open - ended questions about their design preferences about my first product
called " Multi Lamp " . In order to ask good questions , I choosed to listen , study and learn
from a brand that is a world leader today , Coca Cola its progress and difficulties , how it
became known worldwide , its scopes , its current and future purposes as a brand to create
my own story , like why a lamp ? what was my motivation ?
My story is inspired by long hours of study my parents lived in a room where a
lamp was perhaps the most modern thing they had on hand . My parents say that in their
time at university , when they were married at an early age , their only friend was a lamp .
For to study , they could not extend their study hours at home because they lived in a small
place with my grandparents , they studied long hours at night . This is the story that I want to
convey , I want people to value what modernity offers us .
For what I offer my clients that same lamp , but renovated with accessories that
perhaps they did not think they could include , all in one object with various designs ,
models , and unlike the first lamp that my parents had , I want to offer continuous
improvements , the reliability that my product expresses , all the way traveled and yet to be
traveled , the renewed vision that I want to ofert my audience . My biggest challenge is to be
able to transmit my story , because this product is so important to me and the benefits to my
clients , the scope achieved and my long - term vision , a varied production line ( bedroom
accessories ) in no time , being able to position my first product in the main supermarkets of
the city , after the country and why not internationally . my story is my best strategy to
access more groups of people , get their attention , without forgetting my group of friends
who are within this project , people with vision , friends , their advice , criticism , who are the
essence of this project .
Insight
One of the most optimistic responses I got from my interviewees was the reception
capacity I received when I told my story briefly , without bragging , acting simply , showing
my wishes with a product designer , the beginning of what could be my development in the
professional world . Not every listener reacts in the same way , but this tool has managed to
attract the attention of a larger group of people . This tool allowed me to get more attention
from the public that already knew me , everyone watches the movement of my hands , my
inspiration when telling my project without forgetting the people who support me . In other
instances , I would not have chosen to tell my story .
Approach
Product design has been a part of my university career that I have considered as a
future in the workplace , so I would like to expand my knowledge about design , but above
all , to be able to reach a certain audience regardless of what product I want to offer , I want
to feel the satisfaction of my clients , transfer my ideas as my own to my clients . I will Use
this storytelling tool today as a student , but one day I want to be the one to tell a great story
starting today .

Challenge/ Background :
I work for developing a small household business . These businesses are typically managed by a sole proprietor who lacks the resources and who are technologically challenged . I help improving their business . Recently I was working for a home - based fashion designer by creating a platform to develop to diversify her business . The primary advertisement source was word of mouth . She was a homemaker . Being a busy homemaker , she never gave a priority to her passion for designing customized ethnic clothes for special occasions like weddings . She opened a business at a very low level to pursue her passion . She started working from home in her boutique and her reach of customers was very low . The challenge was to influence potential customers and convert them into clients using social media and digital platforms . Along with that creating an innovative platform for providing a service which can be affordable and suitable for customers .
Selection :
I decided to choose a ‘ mind - mapping ’ tool to overcome this challenge . It 's a starting point since I feel it 's a place to download all the information that you have in your head . Mapping is a guide to start the visualization process . Whereas mind mapping fills the gap between what is and what if . It basically enables a supply of ideas . It helps in reviewing the goals and collect key ideas . Mind mapping is interactive and more stimulating . Ideas can be presented with easy reference using a mind mapping tool .
Application :
As the task was to improve the current business and diversify the business . I decided to use a mind mapping tool to generate ideas . Ideas to improve current business and promote the business digitally as well . I did quick research among 50 women of 15 - 50 age group and asked them about their views on choosing a fashion designer over a retail store , renting an outfit than purchasing it for different occasions , the capacity of spending money for an
outfit and what do they expect from their experience in shopping , the approach of choosing a shop or a designer too .
Overall data suggest that many young people choose designers over the retail stores as the clothes are customized and made especially for them , unlike retail stores where there are different sizes and pieces available in the market . They are very much influenced by social media . Customers use the internet to check reviews and work of the designers . Women are willing to rent outfits and ready to spend more money on specific occasions like weddings .
After analyzing the data and brainstorming I created a map of the possibilities of different ideas that can help us create a platform . While brainstorming , I had an idea to launch a new outfit rental service for the customers who do n't want to invest in clothing or those who have already invested the money in an outfit but do n't have it in use . I drew a map and linked it with possible ideas . Ideas like customer categories , occasions , types of outfits , offers , renting deals , buy backing the outfit , customer reviews , etc .
It was easy for me to define the objectives after creating a mind map . I defined them as primary and secondary objectives . Improving social media , creating a blog and website , engaging and influencing current customers , and reaching out via marketing to even more customers were among the primary objectives . Working on designing a website where a customer can choose to purchase or rent an outfit of their choice . Trying and evaluating the business model was also included in the secondary objective .
Insight and Approach :
This tool helped me determine and review the goals . Mind mapping helped me in creating a diagram of renting an outfitting service . It helped me make the picture clear because of which the objectives and requirements were clear . This clarity helped me in completing the project . Idea creation was possible simply because of Mind mapping .
Mind mapping is essentially a method that helped me put everything in my head , every business insight in a form of a flowchart , and then using that flowchart I created a relationship that eventually helped me create a different platform . I can gain valuable knowledge ( relationship ) more easily about the customer 's journey rather than taking the time to recognize it . It also gave me an idea of space to improve where necessary .
Mind mapping is the base of visualization , I am going to use the visualization process to improve my business model .
The matter of fact next time , I would like to start designing process by storytelling as it is an effective tool which touches people 's mind and their thoughts . One can understand the emotions behind the idea and instantly feel connected . Storytelling helps us finding the core value of the business . One can stand in other 's shoes and that connection makes the business more successful .
Design thinking has given me a new perspective and a structured way to develop and design a business that is very important in my profession .

Challenge :
I am a faculty of a university and I have to deal with many types of psycho - social problems of the students . Though my job is mostly academic , still being a mentor and adviser , I need to address these issues . Students often do not open up at their first interaction . Their symptoms of disturbance are usually expressed through their attitude in the classroom and other interactions . Some students are irregular and remain unmindful in the class , others are ill mannered or rough in conduct . Some students seems stressful and tired and even suffer from psychosomatic physical sickness . The university has appointed a full time psychologist , with a separate office and facilities , who provides Psycho - Social Counseling services for the students . But the students have some stigma regarding communicating the psychologist as they think it will isolate them from others and they will be considered mentally ill . Hence they sometimes share their problems with teachers and course advisers . But the problem is teachers can listen to them with empathy and suggest some general solutions , but they are not expert person for professional counseling . So , the challenge for the teachers are to detect the students who need help and convince them to communicate the psycho social counselor .
Selection :
Just as this course resources mentioned , - through a good story , we could simply convey a message that has logic . And also that a good story creates a cause and it ignites and unites people to solve a bigger problem . Keeping the same spirit in mind , I have chosen storytelling as a tool to convince the students to open up and address their need of counselling and eventually communicate the Psycho - Social Counselor of the university for better solution of their mental anxiety .
Application :
As a part of applying storytelling techniques , I have first tried to understand and gain some insights of the audience , in my case , the students who seems disturbed . I built a good rapport by asking his / her personal and academic aspects . Then I try to discuss whether the students have gone through some kind of obstacles or any difficulties . When they share their problems that I feel should be addressed by the professional psychologist , I suggest them to visit the psychologist of the university . When the student feel shaky or uncomfortable , I start telling a story regarding how some of my other students get benefitted from her counseling . I follow a clear sequence for the purpose . I describe how one of my students could not express her willingness to her family , regarding reading in a subject of her choice . Instead she has to carry her study in a subject , she found difficult and not interesting at all just to keep her parent happy . She could not gather the courage to confront her family in this matter and eventually become depressed and even physically weak . At this point of time I try to build a suspense in the story and then ask some questions like what would this girl do to overcome her fear and get her desired life . Then I answer that to gain her confidence and fight back her trauma , she consult the counsellor working at the university .
And that , she eventually open up to her and found a way out to express her willingness to her father through a written letter . At this point of time , most of the students become curious about the outcome and this is the most powerful part of the story , where I explain how the students convinced her father to shift her from one subject to other . And conclude with how splendid she is doing now . Then I explain the disturbed student that his / her current status , where he / she is suffering from problems are the worse situation ever happened . And that if he / she could cross the stigma and take the necessary steps , this solution could be life changing and worth taking .
Insight :
In most of the cases , I found this Storytelling Techniques effective . People tend to get influenced by the story where they can connect themselves emotionally and spiritually . One good story can lead them to think that if other people have gone through the same situation and could overcome their problems why not he / she could do it . It helps them to think sequentially about what is , what if , what wow and what works . The audience could chalk out where they stand right now , where possibly they can go if they try , what benefit they will get and how they will reach there – all at once . Thus , storytelling could be a good guild towards design thinking .
Approach :
Besides the advisors , storytelling tool could be adopted by the organization as a part of their regular communication options . The organization can develop promotional content using storytelling techniques to influence the mindset and action of the students and other relevant audience .

Elements :
1 . Challenge : We have been into service industry and now launched and commercialized a few
products . About 18 months ago we hired a consultant who introduced us to agile methodologies and we purchased Jira licenses , coached someone for the Scrum Master role and started implementing the processes . However , since we have not always been a product company , our challenges are fundamental – how the management thinks the products are built using agile . While we have learned a few processes , we missed on other few .
It is in organization ’s DNA to learn with time , do more with less , and be really fast .
Now , this is a tricky situation . Teams think they are under pressure to deliver things at lightning speed . Engineering and product teams would try to pick up a lot of tasks . And because they ’re always kind of short of time , they think they do n’t have to waste time in doing meetings to unleash their creative self . Hence , they sometimes build features that can be much stronger if they do more brainstorming and customer empathy sessions . The reality is , management is not aware what are the other best practices to follow – such as Mind Mapping . If they are convinced that there are global best practices , there would n’t be a problem in buying more time for building great products .
So while I was doing the course , I started interviewing people for the new product I had launched internally to a focus group of 50 people in our 5000 people company . But that resulted in a lot of information . To find real meaning from a lot of data , I think mind mapping is the next right step for the organization to solve the overall problems of building great products .
2 . Selection :
Hence , I selected mind mapping tool as each interviewee provided a lot of information ( a proper product management user interview tool was used ) . Mind mapping helped build the right connections between various types of information from multiple users ( feels like I am the FBI agent who tracks an elusive criminal J ) . As the IDEO CEO says that if he has to do something analytics , he creates a list , but he has to do something more creative , he creates a mind - map .
3 . Application :
So I gathered my product manager ( who also had conducted interviews ) and a group of 4 people from the engineering team who are working on the product . We projected the info in excel format , gathered from the interviews on a projector , and broke it down to small features or bugs on sticky notes and later categorized them . The first meeting was n’t as great and we got back to this course for reference and the next session was better ( I think that will improve further with more such sessions ) . We also made an announcement that we ’d be doing such meetings more often .
4 . Insight :
The insights were eye - opening . It helped us understand the top 2 reasons why the users would stop using the product and what is that they currently love about it . We could see their real objections , and hear the unsaid through the key statements during the interviews . We also mapped each of these pointers with the impact they have . It ultimately helped us write thought through stories and effective prioritization .
5 . Approach :
The next time , I think we ’d need to sharpen our skills of brainstorming sessions in which we do mind - mapping together with the team . This will help us save on time ( which is a very important aspect for our organization culture ) . Also , we would go back to the management with 4 - 5 successful mind - mapping meetings that generate some result to get their buy - in that will make it a part of our agile forever .

Storytelling is a great tool that I use all the time . I worked with rural students to increase their knowledge , to give them a wider perspective of carrier opportunities and challenges ahead . They are students who does not have a proper access to internet and even do not know about modern world . They were afraid of new challenges and understand themselves weak from students who lives within the cities . Biggest problem was lack of motivation . It was more necessary to work on this issue . I have to share experience with them via storytelling in the form of stories and videos . I shared several experiences of successful people with them for them . I had a list of several stories they are applicable for challenges such as some time of physical weakness , lack of knowledge and others .
Application
I started interacting with them on daily basis . I made a list of challenges they were facing . I have discussed this with their parents and teachers . Basically the last approach was getting repeated from last few years . They were not integrating new learning specially the digital technologies that were coming into the education . We as a team tried to incorporate these learning into the syllabus . We appreciated their little efforts towards their progress . There were experiences shared with them for their efforts , their challenges . Stories of several successful leaders was shown to them and several guest speakers were invited who were their seniors working good in their carriers . Upgrading with technology has given them preference .
Insight and results :
Students are taking greater part compared to past and their grades were improving . Their competition was moved beyond to rural level . They were better prepared and aware about the challenges ; they were facing in the past .

Challenge and Selection
I am a Digital Accessibility Specialist . ‘ Digital Accessibility ’ refers to the practice of making all sorts of Digital Content accessible to a diverse set of users including people with disabilities . One important branch of Digital Accessibility is ‘ Document accessibility ’ .
These days we all create Digital Documents such as Word , PPT , InDesign and usually convert them into PDF . Just like any other Digital Content , PDF Documents should also be made accessible . For example I must ensure that this reflection paper can be read as easily by a sighted user as by a user with visual impairment . To make that happen I have to take care of several points , and one of them is ‘ reading order ’ . A blind user relies on a Screen reader ( e.g. JAWS , NVDA ) to read a document . An essay , letter etc are usually written in a linear manner ( i.e. from top to bottom , each line starting from Left to Right ) , so it ’s easy for a screen reader to read the screen in that flow . But at times we come across smart art graphics , flowcharts , workflows etc that allows a user to take a quick glance at the described content . A Screenreader is a smart technology but we still can not rely on it to read a smart art graphic correctly , the reason being its inability to determine the correct reading order . PDF editing softwares comes with an in - built functionality to fix the reading order , but this process is complex and time - consuming . Therefore I needed a tool that could simplify the cumbersome process of fixing the reading order of a PDF . I used visualisation as it was the best way to bring my entire team to the same page since the developers and some of the stakeholders did n’t know much about PDF remediation ( process of fixing PDF accessibility issues ) . Through visualisation it became much easier to convey the entire process , current output and desired output .
Application
I began by picking up a sample input file with a smart art graphic , to show the current steps that we follow for PDF remediation using a flow diagram(given below ) . I used screenshots of the actual output after every stage of the current process as the visual order of the content could be best described using a visual . Next it was important to indicate after which stage exactly we needed intervention . Our current process involves inserting a file ( image 1 in the flow diagram ) then tagging the content either manually or using the auto - tag option of the PDF editing tool ( image 2 of the flow diagram ) . Once all the content is tagged we check the reading order ( image 3 of the flow diagram ) if it ’s not correct we drag and drop those tags in the correct order in the PDF editing tool ( image 4 ) itself to fix the order ( image 6 ) . But this drag & drop method often results in disturbance in the reading order of other elements and tag structure getting messed up . On top of that it takes on average one hour to fix one medium complexity PDF page and a skilled person to do this job . Therefore after the auto - tag stage we needed a tool that would allow us to bypass the drag & drop method , providing an alternative which is simple to use and could be used by anyone ( image 5 ) . A tool where we could give a number to each tagged piece of text , and those tags could be rearranged automatically as per the given numbers .
Insight & Approach
After this exercise I learnt how easily we can simplify a problem statement . I ’m neither a designer nor a developer . I may not have the required knowledge to create the above - mentioned software or even its prototype but me and my peers are the end users , and hence it was essential for us to clearly communicate our requirements to someone who has almost zero knowledge of our work . We did n't want too much subjectivity . Visualisation helped us in clearly conveying those requirements as well to get feedback on the feasibility of the proposed solutions in an efficient manner .
My team has only 10 members , and we get plenty of PDF remediation projects . Some of the PDF documents are lengthy and can have upto 500 pages . When we have to meet strict deadlines we do n’t have any other option but to allocate more than five resources to a PDF project , which prevents us from taking up other big projects due to a lack of resources . With the help of the tool we are saving a lot of time on client projects as well as time spent on remediating internal PDFs . This is the first time I have used visualisation but I ’m pretty sure that I ’d be using it more often from now onwards ! This time I used it to simplify the problem statement and to get clarity on the feasibility of the proposed solutions . Next time I want to use it in situations where requirements are unclear . Where me and my team could brainstorm together to come up with ideas that we would depict through visualisation .
Note- The input PDF file used in the flow diagram is a substitute of the actual file used during the activity and has been taken from
the design thinking course itself to avoid any copyright issues .

Challenge
I work in an IT reseller company , representing the biggest global software and hardware vendors in the local market . Part of my role is to identify business opportunities and develop solutions where the intellectual property of the company could be the main element in a recipe of products and services to satisfy the customer needs . The intellectual property is relevant because it can generate better gross margin than usual resell transactions .
Now a Days , during the covid-19 lockdown my team has a challenge to adapt quick solutions to fix the new needs of our B2B customers . Usually my company works with traditional decisions process which get priority to the low risk choices . But now we can not work with that methodology because it is too slow to catch the actual market opportunity . The IT solutions make possible business to continue operate in the lockdown conditions and if we do not bring affordable and quick solutions other competitors will do it .
Selection & Application
In these conditions we stop and reflect about how we can be as quick as possible . Design thinking and agile methodologies are the answer . First , we must listen carefully our customers , we have to find the new needs , we ca n’t guess their pain , we have to feel it and make empathy with them . Then we start a marathon race with direct interviews with C - Levels specially with CIO ’s . We make more that seventy talks with a specific libretto , three questions to map the challenges of their business and to organize the priorities . Also , we share ideas from other CIO that could make sense for their business , in that way that conversation bring value and position our company as a partner that they actually need .
I have found in this design thinking course many tools useful for these crisis period , but one of the best instruments is to get empathy putting the customers problems in the center , rather than our company solutions . I have heard that many , many times , in administration , marketing or sales courses . But it is difficult to maintain that orientation , because always the selling team mindset want the shortest way to the success . When we have reached the first twelve interviews , we start to create a mind map with the collected information . Bring all the information and share with coworkers in the company was a new challenge because the lockdown . But Map Mapping become a good chance to improve our collaboration skills ; we use backboard applications during telepresence meetings and share ideas between the team to identify the opportunity gaps in the new market .
That was amazing to find the often coincidence in the pain areas . Of course , was evident the challenge to send people to work full from home represents for all of the companies . But we found many other opportunities for new solutions in the new normal . The mind map was enriched every day as more interviews we made . In parallel , the product and engineering teams started to generate new solution ideas based in the connections between the issues mapped in the tool . In that way ,
during the third week of interviews , we involve the proposal solutions in the conversations with customers , that was a way to test the ideas , some customer advance to make some pilots with some of our solutions , others plan to make that in next months . The mind mapping was a useful tool to integrate the ideas between different teams with the same target , quickly find IT solutions for our B2B market .
Insight & Approach
This period represents many challenges for the entire society . Specially companies that make solutions aimed at increasing the productivity of other companies must change the methodology , mindset , speed , and past structured ideas . Speed is survival , speed is to adapt to new conditions , speed is the way to take advantage of the crisis and the way to increase the footprint in the market when many other companies are afraid about their future . We have learned that in crisis the companies must be close to their customers , and the mind mapping help us to quickly identify some solutions that can become to improve the reaction of our customers in their markets .
The speed to propose , the freedom to create diverse solutions , to prototype , test it and launch , made us different in the market . We get the trustworthy of CIO ’s of the more important companies in the market , that a great opportunity to grow next months . We have only two months after lockdown rules in my country but now we are increasing revenue and we see a good panorama for the rest of the year . The customer empathy and the learning mindset will be key factors and tools like mind mapping , visualization and learning launch are now in our toolbox to bring more value to our customers .

Design Thinking has helped me develop perspectives that might have not occurred otherwise . I look forward to apply it in my everyday life - both personal and professional . My selection of tool is Learning Launch .
Learning Launch : Accomplish – While you test your ideas !
Challenge
In our organization , we are part of a new project group of 12 members formed to accomplish a data insight end - to - end module ; we have to take every stakeholder into confidence right from the financing team , to business analysts to developers while developing the module . To keep the team motivated about the value that the project would generate once accomplished and encourage everyone to feed in their ideas and experience and most importantly for the time bound project it is , we could risk less in terms of time experimenting . Our team is spread across two different regions with different time zones . We are to coordinate to get the work done and deliver the project on time . We face two challenges here , one is coordination between members spread across region and another being clear definition of the tasks and activities to complete the project . Also we have to take into account the stakeholders involved , their expectation of the team and roadmap of the project
Selection
To accomplish coordination and for effective utilization of the resources during the entire cycle of the project , we prefer to use learning launch as the tool to experiment , test our ideas and prototypes as we go ahead getting the actual work done . As we are allowed to experiment a bit , we prefer learning launch as a tool , as it allows one to make corrections ( at the early stage in case of our project ) and proceed .
Application
Our first process - in order to not keep any resource idle or less occupied we have broken down the tasks to be parallely started . The tasks are built to be time bound , tried to keep them independent with reduced dependency during the initial stage . While doing so we are also keeping an eye on unnecessary drag of the tasks , doing unintended work etc . This also helps to see that as we reach project deadlines , no one task becomes a bottleneck or impedes other tasks .
The second launch being - splitting the team into two smaller teams due to different time zones . The smaller teams are such that there is reduced dependency in the tasks between these two teams . One or two members coordinate between the teams to clarify the tasks or discuss impediments , and the entire team meets up only when required .
Insight & Approach

### Input: Design Thinking : Assignment
Design Thinking has helped me develop perspectives that might have not occurred otherwise . I look forward to apply it in my everyday life - both personal and professional . My selection of tool is Learning Launch .
Learning Launch : Accomplish – While you test your ideas !
Challenge
In our organization , we are part of a new project group of 12 members formed to accomplish a data insight end - to - end module ; we have to take every stakeholder into confidence right from the financing team , to business analysts to developers while developing the module . To keep the team motivated about the value that the project would generate once accomplished and encourage everyone to feed in their ideas and experience and most importantly for the time bound project it is , we could risk less in terms of time experimenting . Our team is spread across two different regions with different time zones . We are to coordinate to get the work done and deliver the project on time . We face two challenges here , one is coordination between members spread across region and another being clear definition of the tasks and activities to complete the project . Also we have to take into account the stakeholders involved , their expectation of the team and roadmap of the project
Selection
To accomplish coordination and for effective utilization of the resources during the entire cycle of the project , we prefer to use learning launch as the tool to experiment , test our ideas and prototypes as we go ahead getting the actual work done . As we are allowed to experiment a bit , we prefer learning launch as a tool , as it allows one to make corrections ( at the early stage in case of our project ) and proceed .
Application
Our first process - in order to not keep any resource idle or less occupied we have broken down the tasks to be parallely started . The tasks are built to be time bound , tried to keep them independent with reduced dependency during the initial stage . While doing so we are also keeping an eye on unnecessary drag of the tasks , doing unintended work etc . This also helps to see that as we reach project deadlines , no one task becomes a bottleneck or impedes other tasks .
The second launch being - splitting the team into two smaller teams due to different time zones . The smaller teams are such that there is reduced dependency in the tasks between these two teams . One or two members coordinate between the teams to clarify the tasks or discuss impediments , and the entire team meets up only when required .
Insight & Approach
We have time framed to deliver the project part by part . This will help in seeing tasks accomplished in bits and make any corrections without waiting until the end of the project . By time framing , we demo the tasks after 2 or 3 weeks of sprint to the stakeholders and collect feedback , incorporate it during the next sprint .
Our approach to split tasks and start parallel has helped us to keep all the resources engaged and productive . For some teammates , the tasks are minimal , for some it sounds irrelevant , but when we sit for an overall discussion - many do involve and is helping in clarifying things in this initial stage so that going further work would flow easily . There is enough time for corrections and redesigning certain part of the project , while few tasks can not be touched again .
Along with the main ongoing project , we have adhoc requests coming in ; handling these adhoc requests is another challenge to be considered amidst the ongoing project . As the project task is time framed , inclusion of adhoc requests is posing a challenge . We are working to have buffer times to handle adhoc requests in the middle of the sprints .
Our second launch of splitting the team and coordinating work has burdened those coordinating between teams . Sometimes it is leading to confusions for the coordinator and dragging . It is also leading to increased meetings and discussions . We will have to reconsider if this does not work as expected .

Challenge
I´m a founding member of an startup that works toward creating solutions for carbon capture , based in the application of biotechnology reactors to flue gas exhaust . At the beginning of our pathway , when we only had an idea , we won a schollarship in an starup incubator . We initially tought that making a solution for industries will be a huge starting point , that factories were very interested in installing our sistem and reduce his CO2 emissions .
We focus mainly in the engineering behind the product , making it more efficient , cheaper and smaller . Thinking that the more efficient and cheap we did it , the more costumers would want it .
Selection
As our idea already had been through an incubation process we thought that it would be a great idea to test it in a real environment . So we decided to run a pilot test , which later we realized it took us more to a learning launch .
The main reason I prefer to say that it was a learning launch , was that it allow us gathering data directly from the costumers and not from the prototype behavior , and allowed us to learn an improve our bussiness model .
Application
We installed our prototype in a carton factory , where it operated ( in data ) just like we had thought and planeed . The real discovery was when we started talking to employees of the factory and they told us what they tought about about the prototype . Then we started to see and find some recurrent ideas and aproaches that we did nt had tought before .
We started making interviews with all the people involved in the hypothetical decision of buying our product , they gave us their opinion about the product and more important , the reason why they would nt buy it .
Insight
What we found was that the companies would n't spend money on a solution that they do n't " need " , basically what they say was that , while the government do nt do a law to force them to reduce CO2 emissions they would not spend money on that
matter . Also they do nt see a clearly profit in money terms to adopt the technology . At the same time that the corporative dindt show interest in the technology a lot of people and employes told us that they find the technology very useful and importat to improve the life quality .
A lot of people tought that it would be great to have something similar in squares or parks in the city , offices , schools and other places with a high concentration of people . So we realized that it was time to change and improve our technology .
Approach
By applying the learning launch tool we discover that the assumptions that we had made ( Factories would want to cut down CO2 emission ) was not true , at least not for now . They dind´t care about efficiency at lest while there is no monetary stimuli .
But we learned that the people is very interested in a healthy enviroment , and that they think that the these technology should be common in public places . So we change our approach , instead of made a solution focus on factories , we started to develop a solution made for public enviroments . We approach to the local goverment of our city and showed them what we had devolp . We find that they tought the same as the people and they want to implement the technology in the city . So now we are starting a plan with the city to do a learning launch of our technology in one of the cities most traffic avenue .
It will include an etnographicly aproach to understant the relation of the people wih the technology , diferent strategies in social media to make it a tourist hot spot and strategies to make the people interact with it , at the same time that they contribute to the enviroment conservation with a tree planting campaing .

Our Managing Director needs us to evaluate our accomplishments and failures . After that , we have to define new goals and aspirations for the year ahead . Since we do not always succeed in the goals we set out to do , or the concepts and goals are not always understood in the same way by everyone . Therefore , I have introduced “ LEGO Serious Play ” methodology ( LSP ) to visualize what we were going to discuss and agree . I have formed a workshop with one goal in mind : What is our shared vision on the 2021 strategy program roadmap . By building LEGO bricks and using LSP methodology , we can share our thoughts and visualize our shared vision . Application
The workshop was mainly divided into 4 sections :
1 . Build models for a clear and shared understanding of the current state of our
strategy department , including the challenges we faced .
2 . Build models for a clear and shared understanding of the aspirational state of our
strategy department .
3 . Define possible strategy led initiatives to get us from the current state to the
aspirational state
4 . Define a prioritized plan of action and roadmap for these initiatives
During the workshop , I facilitated our teammates . There were 4 core steps with the use of LEGO bricks and LSP methodology . Core step 1 : Posing a question : the facilitator poses a question or challenge . Core step 2 : Building a personal model : everyone builds a model to answer the question using LEGO bricks . The available bricks are designed to inspire the use of metaphors and story making . Core step 3 : Sharing the model : everyone is invited to share their model with other participants . This ensures 100 % participation and 100 % distribution and understanding of the knowledge . Core step 4 : Reflecting on the model : try to distil some insights , point of attention , clarifications in relation to the model .
Everyone has the opportunity to think about themselves and share their own answers . Lego bricks breaks habitual thinking and makes dialogue more " safe " , thus adding a new dimension . Just as " doodle " can help you concentrate , physically processing tangible 3D objects can also visualise your thought , stimulate your thinking and guide you to unknown answers and knowledge . As a facilitator , we will also guide each conversation
in a way that is related to the construction of the model and the concepts or metaphors behind it , not to the person who built the model .
Insight & Approach By building models with LEGO , everyone were engaged due to all the ideas , concepts were visualized and meaningful to all the participants . Taking any of those models in the workshop , colleagues would all be able to tell which of these initiatives we would tackle ( prioritisation ) and what the strategic initiative consists of . They would be able to do this even for those models they did not create themselves , and long after the workshop took place . That 's one of the real benefits of facilitating a meeting or workshop with LSP , which LSP helps visualization . Design thinking involves lots of idea creation . Visualization is very useful to help stakeholders to have the same understanding and picture for further evaluation and discussion . By building models with LEGO bricks , it is fun and helps people who does not like to draw visualise their idea . I will apply visualization with LSP methodology next time as well . Because LSP allows us to handle very diverse issues which can cover from personal or team development all the way to enterprise development . It can deal with challenging constraints , and it can also deal with situations where it is necessary to define a real - time strategy initiated in a complex system in which the impact on the system will continue to change . The key of LSP is to let everyone visualize the issues and the solution , even the linkage of each constrains . Similar to design thinking , LSP can define the “ what is ” and “ what if ” by building different models to represent each stage of the design thinking process .

Challenge :
In my role as Head of Business Excellence , I am responsible for improving the employee capability on Quality tools and techniques . Within our company we follow TMW – The Mahindra Way , which outlines the philosophy , that every employee has to follow , to maximise efficiency and effectiveness in achieving the result .
One of the challenges that we face is that we have limited resources and hence it is not practically possible to conduct classroom training for all employees . Also , there is lot of planning and co - ordination needed , when it comes to scheduling a training program , based on the availability of employees . Only 20 % of the employees were trained and there was issue of availability of trainer as well as the participants as their time will not match .
So we decided that we have to design an eLearning program for our TMW , which will be of 30 minute duration and employees can undergo this training program at their ease , when they are free .
Selection :
Since this is the first time we were designing such program for the employees , we decided to use the Learning launch tool , which will help us to understanding the complexities of developing the program and involve the stakeholders in designing and implementing the solution .
Application :
First and fore defined the objective of the experiment that we were doing and identified the customers ( employees ) , for whom we were designing the program .
Then we did meeting with various department champions , on whether it will be useful we design an eLearning program , which employees can complete at their ease , based on their availability .
Then we formed a cross - functional team involving the IT team , who was responsible for designing the program . We had brainstorming session on different storylines that can be used to present the program in the eLearning module . Finally we agreed upon the Storylines and the IT team prepared storyline and developed the training program .
Then we shared with few stakeholders and got their feedback on whether they find it useful and based on their feedback we further fine - tuned it , so as to meet the expectation of the employees .
Insight :
One important insight is that instead of I giving the ideas I asked the team to provide their perspective on what they think , how we should go about developing the storyline . Initially the team was apprehensive but later on they opened up and shared their ideas and point of view on the same .
Approach :
There was some delay that happened because of lack of clarity and communication gap when one of the team members was on leave due to personal exigency . One of the learning that came was that there should be backup resource that should be made available in case of any team member not available . This will ensure better risk management .

Challenge :
I would like to consider myself as an employee in an multinational IT company located in Australia . We have links with many top most companies . One day we have got an project from an top most company stating that they are selling their tabs which are used by top most faculty successfully in both Australia and America . And now they want to launch their tabs in India and get successful . And now our challenge is how can we enhance our sales and optimize the sales cycle of tabs for a niche target group : That is who are Faculty of top engineering colleges in India . Now our main aim is to sell these tabs successfully in India and to explain them that this tab which gives faculty not just an understanding of global changes and upcoming trends in education but also the first hand experience and how this tab help them to address and adapt to these changes . And we should complete this project within 4 months .
Selection :
We have tried many designing tools like visualization , journey mapping , Mind mapping , Prototype testing and by using all this then we decided to use learning launching tool because they are designed to test the key underlying value - generating assumptions of a potential new- growth initiative in the marketplace . In contrast to a full new - product rollout , a learning launch is a learning experiment conducted quickly and inexpensively to gather market - driven data . And our approach to the project is immerse in life and context of end users and to test , validate and finalize so that ’s why we selected this tool .
Application of the tool :
For the first learning launch we just focused on spending few weeks and understanding about the setup of top engineering colleges in India . For doing that we have attended classes of faculty members and spoke to them and conducted discussions with both the faculty and research scholars about using of technology in engineering education . And learned many interesting facts that the faculty are using a strategy called flipped classroom . For using this technology the faculty needed many equipments like computers , video recorders , and web cams and now we gave them an solution that our tab consists of all these features . And now our mail challenge has appeared our aim is communicate these features to all the faculty members .
Then we started conducting various awareness sessions and workshops by mentioning all the features of our product and launched our product and we observed sales in India .
Insight :
By using this tool we have sold many tabs to the faculty of top most institutions . Although the results are somewhat lesser than what we have assumed . But we have gathered feedback from many of the faculty and research scholar . So that we can improve ourselves and sell
more products so that we can reach our target . By considering all these concerns we are improving ourselves .
Approach :
As I told in the selection process that we have tested many design thinking tools they are not at all suitable for our challenge . So that ’s why we selected this launching tool and this is the appropriate one for our challenge . Even though we have not reached our expected results but we will take feedback from the people and we will try to reach our target by using this tool .

### Input: Learning launch Tool
Challenge :
I would like to consider myself as an employee in an multinational IT company located in Australia . We have links with many top most companies . One day we have got an project from an top most company stating that they are selling their tabs which are used by top most faculty successfully in both Australia and America . And now they want to launch their tabs in India and get successful . And now our challenge is how can we enhance our sales and optimize the sales cycle of tabs for a niche target group : That is who are Faculty of top engineering colleges in India . Now our main aim is to sell these tabs successfully in India and to explain them that this tab which gives faculty not just an understanding of global changes and upcoming trends in education but also the first hand experience and how this tab help them to address and adapt to these changes . And we should complete this project within 4 months .
Selection :
We have tried many designing tools like visualization , journey mapping , Mind mapping , Prototype testing and by using all this then we decided to use learning launching tool because they are designed to test the key underlying value - generating assumptions of a potential new- growth initiative in the marketplace . In contrast to a full new - product rollout , a learning launch is a learning experiment conducted quickly and inexpensively to gather market - driven data . And our approach to the project is immerse in life and context of end users and to test , validate and finalize so that ’s why we selected this tool .
Application of the tool :
For the first learning launch we just focused on spending few weeks and understanding about the setup of top engineering colleges in India . For doing that we have attended classes of faculty members and spoke to them and conducted discussions with both the faculty and research scholars about using of technology in engineering education . And learned many interesting facts that the faculty are using a strategy called flipped classroom . For using this technology the faculty needed many equipments like computers , video recorders , and web cams and now we gave them an solution that our tab consists of all these features . And now our mail challenge has appeared our aim is communicate these features to all the faculty members .
Then we started conducting various awareness sessions and workshops by mentioning all the features of our product and launched our product and we observed sales in India .
Insight :
By using this tool we have sold many tabs to the faculty of top most institutions . Although the results are somewhat lesser than what we have assumed . But we have gathered feedback from many of the faculty and research scholar . So that we can improve ourselves and sell
more products so that we can reach our target . By considering all these concerns we are improving ourselves .
Approach :
As I told in the selection process that we have tested many design thinking tools they are not at all suitable for our challenge . So that ’s why we selected this launching tool and this is the appropriate one for our challenge . Even though we have not reached our expected results but we will take feedback from the people and we will try to reach our target by using this tool .

Challenge :
My challenge was one that fit perfectly within the criteria for one of the tools . I work for an organization that is building a new software for our industry . It is a very complex and in - depth tool , which looks to streamline the profession while providing an overall more effective product . This project has around 40 different people working on it , all in different capacities . My role is designing much of the methodology around the specific items which will make this tool “ cutting - edge ” . As such , the elements that my team and I design do not exist in any other tool today , therefore we must solve problems that no other tool has been able to do . One module in particular has plagued the industry for years , and has effectively been set aside for the past year because of the complexity . It was my job to figure it out .
Selection :
The tool that I selected was the Mind Map . The reason I chose this tool was because there were so many different elements that had to fit together . Essentially , my module has to take inputs from several other groups , package it in a way that made sense , and deliver something tangible to our users . Since there were so many different elements , I chose the Mind Map as a way to gather all of my thoughts and used it to identify patterns and themes .
Application :
I began the process by focusing on my main objective . While there are going to be several subsequent versions of this product , we needed to start somewhere . What was the ultimate mission ? I decided that there were two goals , 1 ) to address why it was needed in the first place ( to fit the regulations of the industry ) ; and , 2 ) to lay the groundwork for a better approach using evolving technologies . This was tricky , as we needed to think about what we can and should do today and where we ultimately want to go .
I began designing the Mind Map by branching out into the concepts that we knew we wanted to include . This first layer was at a high level what needed to be accomplished . This included 6 high level concepts that my team and I believed would encapsulate all of the individual elements that would be necessary . From there , I branched out into more specific functionality , including both elements that existed today and elements we wanted to include next . These included small , simplistic visualizations which helped set the stage and guide conversation . My final layer included the system requirements , showing what we could do today vs. what system requirements were necessary first .
Once the Mind Map was designed , it was easy to start grouping different concepts together based on patterns in the data . This made it easier to see 1 ) what elements fit together from a design standpoint , and ; 2 ) what elements had similar dependencies . From here , we were able to start prioritizing where to start .
Insight & Approach :
What I have learned from this activity is that without the Mind Map it would have been extremely difficult to capture all of the necessary elements and effectively prioritize where we should focus our
efforts . As I built out the Mind Map , I had started from an initial list that I created prior to taking this course . As I built it out , I was able to identify more elements , and develop a clearer picture of how they all fit together . Additionally , it was much easier to determine which elements fit together and how to prioritize based on ‘ what wows ’ and what we were able to do today . Because this project had so many different elements and there were so many different directions we could have gone , the Mind Map was extremely effective in gathering all of my errant thoughts and putting them together in a way that made sense .

Challenge
I just joined as a Product Manager in a government agency with an engagement and product management portfolio . I have been tasked by my supervisor to work with other government agencies to understand their problem spaces and identify pain points and opportunities amongst diverse groups of stakeholders within each government agency . Typically , how this is done is usually through face - to - face discussion or skype calls , with the occasional screen - sharing of an email correspondence . With that being said , there are hardly any visualization or visual thinking cues used during discussions and this translates to me trying to imagine most of the stuff which the agencies have been describing in the conversation , or that I ’d have to spend time writing to them after the meeting to re - clarify on the points discussed .
Selection
The tool selected was the tool of visualization which honestly was a tool which was underutilized in my course of work . I chose the visualization approach as it was a tool that could help the stakeholders and myself think in a non - verbal way , which was lacking in our usual mode of discussions . It has a role to play in all phases and it basically emphasizes the use of diagrams and pictures to help with extrapolation of a certain topic that we are concerned with . I began to use the visualization approach on a couple of occasions starting with my discussions generally also because I wanted to hone the ability to use the visualization tool , which made it possible with the daily discussions with multiple stakeholders to understand their pain points .
Application
With the work - from - home situation and now that discussions are conducted via skype / zoom calls by default , I started to share my screen to the stakeholders on every discussion , making sure there was existing material or diagrams or drawing available on - screen for me to annotate or draw on . If I required multiple stakeholders to provide their opinions , I ’d make sure that I give them the access to the annotation tool so that they are able to also draw on the existing material . If materials are not available , then a white canvas ( like powerpoint / paint etc ) would suffice and the annotation tool will be utilized in this case to draw on the white canvas . The process of visualization is simple as it only requires the drawing of circles , squares , arrow - heads , stick - man , emotions on the stick - man . This usually gives rise to very dependable conversations where stakeholders see the need to clarify each single drawing that comes across ambiguous or non - defining . This gives rise to longer but deeper conversations that can be further divided into sub - topics ( with pictures ) if need be . These sub - topics pictures would then be further prioritized based on a needs - prioritization matrix – and this is via the visualization tool again as each stakeholder has a list of sub - topics pictures to consider . During the discussion , there will be interviews with all stakeholders to make sure that we address items that are missing from the sub - topics , redefining the problem space if needed , and most importantly the sorting of the various sub - topics into the needs - prioritization matrix . This will be digitized with insights and sharings from the stakeholders to seek a common agreement on the proposed projects that they agreed upon .
Insight & Approach
I have learnt that visualization gives rise to longer conversations that have more depth rather than breadth , which is helpful in the case of getting the government agency ’s stakeholder to identify the operational pain points and their aspirations of the project . I believe this is possible because the
motivation and the lengths at which the stakeholders would define and redefine a visual that ’s representing the problem statement appears to be rather intrinsic and there is immeasurable value in that . Discussion with visual cues also tended to be more focused and intense as compared to verbal conversations without any visual cues . For newcomers like me , visualization actually helps to slow the conversation down to a speed where everyone is on the same velocity , and that helps me to build a conversation around small sub - topics more easily than I could if I were to just rely on verbal discussions . Since the conversations are also now guided by visualization , discussions tend to be more thorough with a very clear agenda , and where there are lapses in ideas , it is easier to spot and identify them . I ’ve since fully appreciate the effect and value that visualization brings about , and this would shape my future discussions at any phase .

Challenge
Because of COVID-19 the bakery had a major fall in sales , around 50 % in the first month . They were looking for cutting costs without compromising the quality of their products or their reputation . The bakery , that produces French groceries , is well known in the city , with a stablished brand and trademark , serving tasty treats in a high - end neighborhood . Every detail matters , from the display of the products , going to packing , service , and now the hygiene practices and safety procedures demanded by the pandemic .
Selection
The Learning Launch tool was selected to test one of the key hypotheses they came up after going through a week of debate . This tool is ideal to test ideas using fast and cheap experiments , instead of creating time - consuming and costly business plan , as showed in Frank Martin lecture . But in this case the bakery has the problem and the clients may help to soften part of it .
Application
The hypothesis was that packing could be less fancy whether the buyer would be the final consumer and provided that the products inside had the same quality . Most sales consist of three items , usually each item goes inside a plastic box , the boxes go inside a personalized paper sack and the sack goes inside a personalized paper bag with handle . It was decided to talk to customers in order to get to know how important was packing when themselves would be the consumers , explaining the test ongoing , and offering only the personalized paper sack . If the purchase had another purpose , the fancy packing would be used as usual .
During a week talking to customers the hypothesis was confirmed . Clients not even ask about price accommodation . In the first month the change generated a 65 % savings in packing costs . The test was successful .
Insight
What was a surprise is that high - end customers care about the survival of places they like . They showed empathy with the concern of the bakery and , in many cases , it seemed they were part of the bakery ’s “ board of directors ” , helping to solve the issue . The bottom line may be to share your concerns with all your stakeholders if you are in a high - end local market .
Design Thinking helped arising hypotheses and testing some of them , so you can use it for different kind and size of issues , client ’s and company ’s . The design thinking approach was interesting and successful , for the bakery and for me , because it worked . Not only because the hypothesis was proven , but also because it took one week of experiment .
Approach
I think for testing a hypothesis , that one needs a fast and cheap answer , Learning Launch fits the bill . The experiment not only reached the goal to test the hypothesis , but also created empathy from clients . Next time I face an issue that can affect clients , I would give it another try and be open to receive feedback from whom maintain the business .

Challenge & Selection
Mind mapping is a design tool that I often use . As a student , there are many projects that need the proper tool in order to consider the various ideas and stakeholders , and mind mapping is an efficient way to get others to make a link between the ‘ what is ’ and ‘ what if ’ . Specifically , in my club where we organise events including various cultural clubs in my school , mind mapping is essential in order to arrange activities that are both meaningful and fun . When working with my club , there are many reasons why we make use of mind mapping in order to come up with activities for our various events . When sharing with those in my team and committee , I use mind maps in order to organise information that we already have and data that we had collected . When sharing with managers in charge , I use mind maps in order for them to get a better understanding of how we would like to proceed with brainstorming and coming up with ideas , bringing in the various clubs involved and laying down the basics in my mind map . As mind maps take note of insights and possible patterns that we might have previously missed during our meetings , it is effective so as to bring out important and meaningful observations . The information collected can be used to brainstorm for ideas for the activities that can be held and the overall plans of the events , to develop different ideas and finding the best activities for students to be able to enjoy .
Application
One instance where I made use of mind mapping was during the initial stages of planning a festival for our fellow schoolmates . The festival was to involve all 13 cultural clubs in the school and the name was ‘ Global Town ’ , and I had to plan it such that it showcased each of the clubs identity and the cultures they represent , as well as make it engaging for the participants of the event . Based on the data collected by the various clubs previously on the activities they held last year and some feedback from their participants , the club representative shared the many activities and games they had previously done . They were then briefed on the theme and direction we wanted our ‘ Global Town ’ to work towards . Afterwards , they were told to note down some insights they had for their own clubs individually on their laptops and the reasons behind their suggestions . The clubs then joined hands and wrote their ideas on the board that they thought could be successful and bring more excitement and participants to the festival . After that , we tried to link up the insights so that we could create connections that would involve all the clubs before we could move on to coming up with ideas for our festival to fit our theme of wanting it to be a step - by - step event where participants have to go through one club before they can proceed to another club ’s activities .
Insight
By making use of the mind mapping tool , it helped me gain a deeper understanding of how mind mapping works , not just jumping into idea generation as there may be loopholes that we missed out and important information or feedback that should be taken into consideration . Mind mapping also helped us activate our thinking brains based on their previous experiences and what can be learnt from it , so that we could move towards a more successful event . Although there were feedback and insights the members had thrown out previously , there was never a session to properly sort them out , and this mind mapping session helped to get the insights be useful . Moving forward , our committee managed to generate ideas based on our insights gathered and connections made from those insights , and held a successful festival .
This course has helped me see this mind mapping tool in a new way , as I always mind mapping would work best at the idea generation stage instead of before it , as a Segway to idea generation .
Approach
Our committee would use mind mapping again when it comes to evaluating and gaining insights , as it has been very useful and effective . However , we should take note that the insights we put on the board should be more elaborate as not every idea put there was addressed properly due to time restraints . Some insights were thus overlooked until we went back to review them again when we had some clashing arguments about ideas being put out . Future mind mapping sessions should include post - its as they will be able to save some time in writing out the insights on the board and the original concept of what was written individually would be projected accurately and as a whole instead of it being shortened , to provide a better flow of the session .

### Input: Reflection – Mind Mapping Tool
Challenge & Selection
Mind mapping is a design tool that I often use . As a student , there are many projects that need the proper tool in order to consider the various ideas and stakeholders , and mind mapping is an efficient way to get others to make a link between the ‘ what is ’ and ‘ what if ’ . Specifically , in my club where we organise events including various cultural clubs in my school , mind mapping is essential in order to arrange activities that are both meaningful and fun . When working with my club , there are many reasons why we make use of mind mapping in order to come up with activities for our various events . When sharing with those in my team and committee , I use mind maps in order to organise information that we already have and data that we had collected . When sharing with managers in charge , I use mind maps in order for them to get a better understanding of how we would like to proceed with brainstorming and coming up with ideas , bringing in the various clubs involved and laying down the basics in my mind map . As mind maps take note of insights and possible patterns that we might have previously missed during our meetings , it is effective so as to bring out important and meaningful observations . The information collected can be used to brainstorm for ideas for the activities that can be held and the overall plans of the events , to develop different ideas and finding the best activities for students to be able to enjoy .
Application
One instance where I made use of mind mapping was during the initial stages of planning a festival for our fellow schoolmates . The festival was to involve all 13 cultural clubs in the school and the name was ‘ Global Town ’ , and I had to plan it such that it showcased each of the clubs identity and the cultures they represent , as well as make it engaging for the participants of the event . Based on the data collected by the various clubs previously on the activities they held last year and some feedback from their participants , the club representative shared the many activities and games they had previously done . They were then briefed on the theme and direction we wanted our ‘ Global Town ’ to work towards . Afterwards , they were told to note down some insights they had for their own clubs individually on their laptops and the reasons behind their suggestions . The clubs then joined hands and wrote their ideas on the board that they thought could be successful and bring more excitement and participants to the festival . After that , we tried to link up the insights so that we could create connections that would involve all the clubs before we could move on to coming up with ideas for our festival to fit our theme of wanting it to be a step - by - step event where participants have to go through one club before they can proceed to another club ’s activities .
Insight
By making use of the mind mapping tool , it helped me gain a deeper understanding of how mind mapping works , not just jumping into idea generation as there may be loopholes that we missed out and important information or feedback that should be taken into consideration . Mind mapping also helped us activate our thinking brains based on their previous experiences and what can be learnt from it , so that we could move towards a more successful event . Although there were feedback and insights the members had thrown out previously , there was never a session to properly sort them out , and this mind mapping session helped to get the insights be useful . Moving forward , our committee managed to generate ideas based on our insights gathered and connections made from those insights , and held a successful festival .
This course has helped me see this mind mapping tool in a new way , as I always mind mapping would work best at the idea generation stage instead of before it , as a Segway to idea generation .
Approach
Our committee would use mind mapping again when it comes to evaluating and gaining insights , as it has been very useful and effective . However , we should take note that the insights we put on the board should be more elaborate as not every idea put there was addressed properly due to time restraints . Some insights were thus overlooked until we went back to review them again when we had some clashing arguments about ideas being put out . Future mind mapping sessions should include post - its as they will be able to save some time in writing out the insights on the board and the original concept of what was written individually would be projected accurately and as a whole instead of it being shortened , to provide a better flow of the session .

In today ’s highly competitive work environment , the organization that trains in the most effective
and efficient manner possible will always gain the cutting edge . The toughest part of being a training
professional is to ensure learner engagement . It refers to the degree of attention , curiosity , interest ,
optimism , and passion that leaners exhibit when they are learning which extends to the level of
motivation they have to learn and progress in their education . The passive approaches employed for
the past generation of learners are now obsolete . Classrooms and lectures are now slowly becoming
a thing of the past .
Selection
It was the need of the hour for me to come up with active learning methods to ensure learner
engagement . So , I decided to adopt storytelling . Stories have been around for millennia . Ancient
cultures used them to pass on traditions and wisdom to subsequent generations . In corporate
training , storytelling is a medium that can be used in new hire training ( introducing new employees
to the company ’s history , goals and visions ) , product training ( the story behind the creation of a
certain product and its uses , including testimonials ) , application training ( the steps involved to move
from point A to point B ) and soft skills training ( e.g. , the consequences of poor time management
and how to rectify it ) . I decided to employ story telling in all these four types of training programs
carried out in my organization . According to the video lecture on storytelling , it is about the
connection that we give to people about a piece of information that we 're trying to share . A good
story at it ’s essence , is simply conveying a message that has logic .
Application
The foundation of a great story starts with knowing the audience . Sometimes we make a lot of
assumptions about who our audience is . Mostly , we assume that they are like us and that is not
always the case . I also often see organizations too broadly define their audience , which is also not
helpful . So , before starting any training program , I decided to go for a thorough discovery process to
get to know the real audience including their demographics and previous experiences . The second
part of a good story is a clear sequence of events . A great story is characterized by a clear sequence
of events that moves it from the beginning to an end and has its moments of reflection . So , I took
extra care is arranging the story in proper order to ensure that the audience will be able to capture
the essence of it . The third part is about selecting the most appropriate story which suits the
context . There 's a variety of stories that a trainer can tell during the training program . So , I do a lot
of research to narrow down the story that best fits the situation and suits the audience .
Insights
Including story telling as an integral tool in the training process was a fruitful exercise for me . In the
process of getting to know my audience better , I was able to uncover their soft , mushy emotional
side . As much as forming an emotional connection is important , I was able to help the audience see
parts of themselves ( or their lives ) in the story . The biggest insight I got was the fact that ultimately ,
the audience is n’t concerned about you , your process or your expertise . They are concerned about
how the message you are there to deliver is going to impact the business , from whatever
perspective they see it . In understanding this , I see the importance of customising my message .
Customisation involves knowing who you are speaking with , what drives them and then determining
the best way to connect with that audience .
Approach
So , next time , I will ensure that all my training programs will be learner centred rather than being
content centred or trainer centred . First , I will think before I speak . Before I speak , I will construct
the story . And to construct the story , I will think about my audience and consider the world from
their perspective . It ’s not about me , the trainer – it ’s about them and the business . To communicate
my story effectively , trainer must be heard . To be heard , I must connect with my audience with a
message that is relevant to them , and delivered in a way they can understand .

Challenge
I am a communications specialist working for an engineering consultancy and the editor for one of the markets ’ internal newsletter . It is my goal to make the newsletter the single vital source of information all things related to the industry . We have about 260 recipients on our email list .
Despite having previously conducted informal interviews with several readers on what they would like to read in an internal market newsletter , it was disappointing to see that since launch , open rates and click through rates have been hovering below the 50 % mark . This is on the lower end of the scale when compared to open rates for other internal newsletters - historical data indicates that a 70 % open rate is considered a success .
The newsletter has been identified as a key channel in which management can engage directly with employees , therefore it is crucial that the open rates and click through rates are improved .
Selection and application
I have chosen to apply mind mapping for the “ What is ” phase . It is a group exercise tool which helps me identify key themes and clusters from a set of data . It is an effective tool for communicating large quantity of data in a format that is meaningful and can be easily understood . It will also help me transition from “ What is ” to “ What if ” by drawing out the design criteria for my revamped newsletter based on the patterns and themes identified .
My data is based on 20 in - depth phone interviews I had conducted with current readers using a set of questions I had formulated . I had an interview quota of 50 - 50 for regular readers and actively disengaged readers .
Application
In the consulting industry , working hours are based on utilisation rate , i.e. most employees have a set target of hours to be charged to project work – some as high as 90 % . Given the current challenging economic environment , I was unable to gather a cohort to undertake the mind mapping exercise together as a team due to management ’s heavy focus on immediate revenue generating activities .
I improvised by first doing the ground work of identifying patterns and themes . I would pore over the interviews and extracted comments that gave key insights and write them on a Post - It note and then stuck it to a giant A3 Post - it note and slowly watched the themes emerge .
To meet the “ group think ” criteria , I invited three colleagues to review the mind map to ensure key themes have been identified and nothing has been overlooked .
While my colleagues all agreed on the themes and patterns identified , the real challenge however was moving from a “ label ” to an insight statement . For example , one of the themes identified was “ I want more case studies ” . As I dug further the insight statement emerged as “ what are new ways I can share opportunities and demonstrate my thought leadership and expertise in that field ” . In order to reveal the real insight behind a statement , I had to keep asking why . It was also interesting to see the relationship between clusters emerge , and there were many !
Translating the insight statements into design criteria was easier than expected and it was this part of the exercise that I could see how mind mapping is a natural segway to “ What if ” .
Insights
The “ aha ! ” moments came when I had to dig deep to search for the insight statements . When I did find the ‘ meaning ’ behind these statements , it became very apparent what my design criteria would be . Mind mapping also forced me to confront previously held perceptions I had of what readers wanted .
I also now understand why it was pertinent to do the exercise as a team . Not only does this prevent confirmation bias when looking for emerging patterns and themes , diversity of thought and perspective were needed in order to identify different , and less subtle , themes and to understand different perspective of truth behind statements from interviewees .
Approach
Mind mapping was the perfect introductory tool to Design Thinking for my learning and project . It helped identify unconscious assumptions I had about the root cause .
If I were to use mind mapping as a tool for another project , I feel it would be helpful to undertake a scoping exercise before jumping into the “ What is ” . A scoping exercise would help clarify what the focal question really should be . For example in this case study , the focal question should be “ How can I inspire problem solving and innovation ” , rather than , “ How can this newsletter inspire problem solving and innovation . ” The latter focal question assumes that the newsletter is the correct tool to inspire change . Fortunately in this case , a newsletter is the right tool , but it is not the only tool .
This exercise helped me understand the value design thinking brings to the innovation process . There is no right or wrong answers , you need to just keep testing your assumptions . It ’s about incremental changes until you get cut through .

Challenge : Ideation and experimentation of hypothesis was quite an interesting experience for me , whilst leading and working on a digital transformation program for a marquee client within the Telco sector .
To remain competitive in the rapid - paced digital world and prevent erosion of their existing customer base due to tariff wars , our client partnered with us on their journey towards digital transformation .
Through a rapid solutions environment and running a series of hackathons by mapping the customer journeys and applied innovation , we generated disruptive and bold ideas on building multiple variations of a self - serve digital platform to provide their customers with a frictionless and enhanced experience .
Since our ideas were based on an inside - out approach , it was imperative for us to test our hypothesis through experimentation and ensure that we neutralized our confirmation bias through a pragmatic approach .
As a logical starting point , we put together a multi - function crack team with a diverse range of skills comprising of sales manager , digital marketeer , management consultant , solution architect , sector domain consultant , full - stack digital engineer and an alliance partner who would help us with our cognitive biases .
Selection : We followed a tradition approach of building a set of minimal viable protypes MVPs with different variations and simulations that would help the client envision their future business model
Our experimental learning launch of the MVP was intended to search if our hypothesis of a self - serve digital platform would help the client to that could allow the client to surmount the challenge of silent churn and build in customer loyalty .
Application : As part of our experimentation , we launched the platform at one of their subsidiaries that had a smaller base of their overall customer set ; but was fast emerging as a hotspot of a tariff war with a lot of new entrants offering lucrative plans for data and voice .
This tested our assumption of offering the flexibility to customers to choose their plans based on their needs as well as consume them as per their choices , as opposed to providing fixed rental plans that was leading to our client ’s competitors stealing away their business .
The MVP was soft launched in the market as promotional platform and targeting existing and new sets of clients through a digital format of self - service mode . This mode of launch was intended to test the digital appetite of the customer base and their ability to change from the traditional mode of visiting retail outlets – and in turn provide our customer with a competitive advantage . We also captured feedback from clients on their experience , aspirations , needs and requirements in order to tailor plans in the future .
Insights : Through experimentation of our MVP in the soft - launch mode , our team identified a series of useful insights that we had built into the MVP as well as from the data captured from the clients through the forms . Our actual results were a mixed bag comprising of a boost in sales from the student population
and office going younger generation who were digitally more - savvy as opposed to older generation who were accustomed to the traditional format of recharging or buying new plans from the retail outlets . The other interesting insight was our client was able to attract new customers through a faster go - to - market approach and had reduced rate of silent churn during the soft - launch phase . There were a series of new learnings , approaches , tweaks and design changes that we derived from the soft - launch phase and would need to be suitably incorporated into the design phase using the “ So What ” approach to eliminate further confirming biases from this experiment .
Approach : The learning soft launch proved to be extremely insightful and impactful for us to derive key learnings and make the necessary tweaks in our build plans . Results could have been encouraging and we could have made a bigger impact through experimentation if we had adopted a logical phased approach and further including options from the skeptic such as digital kiosks , e - sims - as opposed to going with a ‘ one size fits ’ digital approach .
Deriving learnings from here , we could have worked through strongly with our alliance partner as a key skeptic within the group on building these product features as well as on disconfirming facts with our client stakeholders on the next hypothesis before commissioning the full roll out of the platform .

Miriam ’s Field Operations organization needs to reduce the number of technicians in trucks that it sends out into the field to assist customers with troubleshooting their television and broadband issues . Customers call into customer care call centers and chat online about their service issues . Those calls are handled but representatives who follow detailed troubleshooting process flows that ultimately generate trouble tickets that in turn dispatch technicians out to a customer ’s home to help troubleshoot and solve a customer ’s problem .
There is ample cost in operating the call centers and ample cost to roll a truck and a highly skilled technician out to a customer ’s home . If Miriam could reduce the number of technician / truck rolls by giving customer options to solve the problem themselves or proactively solve a customer ’s problem before ( s)he must call in for assistance could save Miriam millions of dollars in operating costs . It could also give customers a much better experience that does not involve the customer having to wait at home during a four - hour appointment window for a technician ’s visit .
SELECTION
Using a mind map could help identify better ways for Miriam to solve its customers ’ problems before having to roll a technician / truck . As Marion Moore mentioned in Module 3 of this course ( https://www.coursera.org/learn/uva-darden-design-thinking-innovation/lecture/lsFRa/mind- mapping - tool , looking at the situation through a “ what is ” lens by using a mind map can be very helpful to understanding existing challenges and roadblocks that create customer problems in the first place . Having this knowledge will be critical for the next step , the “ what if ” phase of the design thinking process that helps to identify how to modify the current situation for the better . Given the process nature of Miriam customers calling into a center , workflows being used , then trouble tickets being recorded , and finally dispatching technicians to troubleshoot , the mind map seems like a good approach to help solve its technician / truck roll challenge .
APPLICATION
When applying the mind map to Miriam ’s processes , I found the challenge to be overwhelming and decided that it might be best to focus on a specific type of reason for a technician / truck roll . I opted for a scenario about a broadband customer self - install kit . This kit is sent out to customers who order internet service , who want to install the equipment themselves . Quite often , something in the process breaks down and the customer is unable to complete the self- install . When that happens , the customer must call into a call center for help and this frequently requires a technician / truck roll to solve the problem .
In looking at the volume of calls into a call center , related to the customer self - install kit , I used a mind map to draw out the various process steps a customer goes through during the self - install . While there are instructions in the self - install kit , it became clear that many technician / truck rolls are related to issues outside of the equipment in the kit ( e.g. , modem / router , cables ) . I mapped out the entire customer process from call in to the call customer to place the order for a self- install kit , to receipt of it , opening the contents , reviewing the instructions through to install . I
noted potential pain points for the customer along the way , such as potential areas of confusion or instructions that relied heavily on technical “ jargon ” that were intended for a non - technical audience .
INSIGHT
The insight I had from mapping out all the steps a customer must go through to do the self- install , was that the information about which port to plug which cable into could be misconstrued . If a non - tech savvy customer was unable to determine an input vs. an output port on their own , the instructions provided would be of no help . My mind map showed a clear gap in the installation process . There were just too many options for a customer to use the cables to connect the router . This insight was likely the source of customer confusion and a failed self- install which would lead to a call to the call center and a potential technician / truck roll . This exercise also helped me to see why the “ what is ” phase of design thinking is crucial . It now seems obvious to me that this step demonstrates the problem in a clearer light so potential solutions in the “ what if ” phase that comes next can be addressed .
APPROACH
If I were to do this mind mapping exercise differently next time , I think I ’d look more closely at the workflows used by customer care representatives . My mind map showed gaps in the clarity of the instructions . I think a care representative should be able to walk a customer through connecting a modem / router with the right cables and ports such that a technician / truck would not have to be dispatched . There may be more value ( e.g. , greater cost savings opportunities ) in using mind mapping on the customer care representative workflows as opposed to the customer instructions .

Challenge :
As a first - year college student ( studying architecture ) , when the coronavirus pandemic hit , we were
all forced to relocate and shift back home mid - semester . As a part of one of the courses I was
enrolled in , we were trying to study the built environment of our workspaces- both in the college
studio , as well as the space we were utilising back at home . The challenge was to identify the
tangible factors of our surroundings , which determined our experiences of it .
Selection :
The tool I used for this exercise was the mind mapping tool , which we had explored in Module 3
of the course ‘ Design Thinking for Innovation . ’ The reason I chose to use this particular tool is
because of the flexibility it provides , when it comes to the direction , I wish to take my thought
process in . And along with flexibility , it also allows for structure . This allows any reader , including
myself , who refers to the map in the future to trace how I arrived at one conclusion or answer ,
from the previous one .
Application :
I started off with a central question , one of how I worked , and branched into further questions ,
all related to the materials and objects I was surrounded by . I linked each node to another using
questions . The broader questions I asked had two separate answers , one for the college setting and
one for the house . I do believe that the questions act as a nice intermediary between two nodes to
allow for a seamless transition from one point to another . However , I realise that from just looking
at the map , a reader will not be able to determine which point is for which of the 2 settings .
Insight :
Initially , I was convinced it was only the immediate spaces that I was in contact with which
determined my workflow . But through this exercise , I realised the effects that the built
environment we are surrounded by has on our everyday routines .
I also realise that mind mapping , as a design tool , will always prove to be difficult for someone to
read once the process is over . The reason for this is no matter how logical the processes and flows
seem to be when one is making them , by them end , the amount of data on the page is simply so
large that it becomes difficult to know where to start from .
Approach :
For similar exercises , in which one is required to study their surroundings with some level of detail ,
I think I will apply the mind mapping tool again . However , I will try to make it a little cleaner than
the current version . I will also try to highlight the points which would be the most important
finding , keeping in mind the brief for the exercise . These 2 strategies will help make the reading of
the map after the process is over much simpler and will bring to the fore the key findings of the
process .

Pietro Gabrielli
Challenge & Selection
In this course of Design Thinking I learned the basics about several design tools . One of those is storytelling . Storytelling is my favorite because it is so simple and easy to apply . It involves presenting your product or business in a story format that truly intrigues the potential customer or investor ; while also creating a cause for a problem and making a list about different ways to solve it .
Application
Most likely , each and everyone of those reading this have gone for some shopping in some kind of clothing store and used a fitting room at least once in their lives . If you have used a fitting room several times , you must have felt that stress of not knowing when the employee might come knock on your door and open it because he could n't hear you reply " taken " for some reason or another . Maybe the music inside the store was too loud , maybe you just panic and do n't know what to do or say , or perhaps you happen to be deaf and/or mute . So , what happens next ? The employee opens the door and there you are with barely any clothes on and some other customers catch a glimpse of you almost naked . If you go shopping regularly , then you must know the fear that I 'm talking about .
While I was shopping myself I wondered : what if I were to design a device ( either automatic or manual ) that lets the employee know whether someone is currently using the fitting room or not ?
Insight & Approach
My audience in this case , would be the customers that go shopping in clothing stores regularly , as well as investors and stores ’ owners .
To apply this tool properly , it ’s important to tell the story in the most intriguing way to the people that truly care about such things . After building a team for this presentation , we would need to be constantly asking relevant questions to our audience and then providing the answers to those questions . One of those questions could be : “ How could this affect the overall customer ’s experience apart from just using the fitting room ? ” . In that case , we can assure that the customer ’s experience will be better , even if they do n’t need to use the fitting room . Why ? Because the employees ’ workload will become less than usual , and that means they ’ll be able to attend other tasks that are just as necessary , such as looking for a certain size for a customer , attending the cash register , welcoming customers into the store , and so on .

This remains indded one of the greatest challenges that I accomplished during my inital struggling days . This was also problematc since it was a complex problem � ie it was a blend of multple simpler problms . ttll problem is a problem � so in order to solve this � I used this approach of solving .
I ofen used this techniuue with all my stakeholders � all I did was dividing my task into several smaller units � and assigning each of my stakeholder group a task to perform . This way I had planned the executon of my work . Now the next hurdle that comes to my way is selecton od uuite efcient team to execute my vision . . I have used thetechniuue of using a project mnegement and negotaton of a problem domain with a set of uuestons or discussion to allow a diverse group of stakeholders to learn from each other in the process of defning the scope � boundaries � key elements � and relatonships between elements to consider when identfying pain points and opportunites for improvements or solutons
Applieactio
The applicaton of the skills For the actvity � I will divide the stakeholders into groups of some partcipants ranging from 5 to 10 partcipants each representng a different organizaton or area of interest . Each group receives a poster - size copy of the car design using various platorms like CAD / CAM / fusion 360 / solidworks . That they can write on directly � or use stcky notes to make comments . I give them two - three uuestons to answer � such as : 1 ) What key elements are missing from the graphic ? 2 ) What would you change about the graphic to make it more accurately refect your problem space ? 3 ) What key insights do you have about the relatonships between the enttes in your problem space ? I give them
approximately 60 minutes to discuss the uuestons and mark up the graphic . Then I have each group report out on their answers to those three uuestons while pointng to the mark - ups on their poster . As each group reports out � I record commonalites in the insights of each group � and then additonal insights that come from the group discussion on an additonal copy of the graphic . Afer the session � I digitze each group ’s poster as an artfact � create a view that combines the shared and new insights from the group discussion � and then create a revised graphic that incorporates their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group . tpace . The graphic gives the diverse group of stakeholders a focal point for discussion that allows them to share their perspectves and develop insights into potental root causes of their problems . While they could create the graphic from a blank slate in a collaboratve manner � startng with a CAD device / modelling devics starts the conversaton for them . They can uuickly identfy where they are in the graphic – or if they are missing – and can more uuickly gain new insights about relatonships between key enttes instead of taking tme to identfy them . They can also identfy variables in the problem space – that is � it helps them to identfy what they do n’t know � in what areas they need to obtain informaton or data to provide the values for the variables . Hence with this approach we can fgure out various applicatons / implementatons
Insight and approach :
Debt is a viable option . Debt is scary to take on , especially when your idea is n't a sure bet , but almost everyone on this list got a loan at some point to establish early momentum . As long as you have a plan to pay it back , debt can be a valuable tool .
Invest in yourself . You need to invest in yourself before you invest in anything else , by focusing on improving your skills , education and experience . Without self - investment , you wo n't be able to build a business , let alone sustain one .
Look to the future . These savvy entrepreneurs did n't enter a market that already existed ; they created new ones , or made bets on how current markets would evolve . Future - focused strategies always win out over present - focused ones .Entrepreneurs can come from humble beginnings , so long as they 're willing to work hard , commit to their ideas and take the risks necessary to see those ideas become reality . Take inspirations , and do n't let a lack of money or experience dissuade you from following your dreams .

Invest in yourself . You need to invest in yourself before you invest in anything else , by focusing on improving your skills , education and experience . Without self - investment , you wo n't be able to build a business , let alone sustain one .
Look to the future . These savvy entrepreneurs did n't enter a market that already existed ; they created new ones , or made bets on how current markets would evolve . Future - focused strategies always win out over present - focused ones .Entrepreneurs can come from humble beginnings , so long as they 're willing to work hard , commit to their ideas and take the risks necessary to see those ideas become reality . Take inspirations , and do n't let a lack of money or experience dissuade you from following your dreams .

Challenge :
I am a member of a social service group that want to solve the increasing challenges faced by students in their 12th class just before entering professional courses . Students are made to undergo tremendous pressure both by parents and tuitions to enter the best colleges . Due to this pressure , the students lose self- confidence , become more introvert , and in the worst case commit suicide . Many such cases were revealed when our research cell conducted their survey . The numbers have not gone down rather they are increasing due to increase in competition . This hurts all the stakeholders who were related to the student . We hope of motivating students , help them build confidence on themselves and help them develop team- spirit .
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 :
Our team organized a voluntary discussion forum for students through text chains . From this , our team discovered that , in both the colleges and coaching centers subjective learning was given top priority over objective type of learning . This was our problem center and we were supposed to find the solution to this .
For our learning launch tool , we created text chains with some college students who were introverts . In these text chains , the students could talk to our team . We try to inspire them , motivate them , and make sure that they feel that they are an asset rather than a liability . We partnered with 2 colleges and a tech company , to organize an hour on an online platform for students ( once in 2 weeks ) to come and participate in the co - curricular activities , we had planned for them . This involved activities that will remove their mind from studies for at least an hour . This app also allowed us to show them alternate paths that they could travel on to reach the same destination of success . The online platform was for us to reach out to parents to tell them to support their children in a positive manner . We tried to convey that frequent criticism results in demotivation of students . Students could send their feedbacks . Even the parents could send anonymous feedback , about the activities on the online platform which could be discussed in the next session .
Insight :
Looking at the student ’s participation in the text - chain , was an eye - opener for us . Many students actively talked to us about their concern in low grades in the mock test in coaching classes , their concern regarding distractions from studies ( Instagram , Facebook , etc . ) and many more , we were able to solve most of their problems . But we saw that the participation of students on the online platform was not very satisfactory . Parents were also not very affectively participating in these platforms . This was a particularly important note for us because these programs were meant for parents . The platform ’s attendance was a set back our team . Moving forward , our team will review this insight and incorporate it into future launch designs . The ongoing incorporation of insight is particularly important at this stage , as launches come before a full rollout in the design thinking timeline .
Approach :
My team has gone through several design thinking initiatives and we see that the important part we must concentrate on is the active participation of parents in the online platform . We are now working on which alternative ways we can involve parents into these platforms . Currently , we have put the online platforms on hold , but the app has now been introduced in 3 more colleges and they are working well . Using the feedback , we are working on improving the app further .

There are a huge number of brands in the world , and new companies are created and opened every day . However , not all brands become successful . The success and longevity of a brand depends directly on the people who use it . Is the consumer sufficiently tied to the product ? Can a particular product be replaced by a similar product from a competitor ? What emotion does the product evoke in a person ? One of the main ways to make a consumer feel an emotion is to tell him a story that resonates in his personality and life values . When there are millions of similar brands on the market the only way to become visible is not only to create a good product but also to find your audience , to create a strong emotional connection with them . The emotion we get from a thing is much stronger than the thing itself . For example , why do people drink Coca - Cola at Christmas and not Pepsi or Sprite ? Because Coca - Cola made consumers desire to buy their soda through an emotional story : every Christmas , Santa drives a huge red truckload of bottles of Coke to give families a sense of intimacy and a real Christmas spirit , to give people a chance to gather around the holiday table and have a glass of soda . When we buy a drink from this particular brand , we are not really focused on the quality of the product , but on the emotion we feel from its story . So , the story does n't offer a solution to the consumer 's problem , but it does create a reason to use a particular brand .
Application
While studying at the HSE Art and design school , I needed to design an app to support a long- distance love affair . It was important to me to not only create an attractive , user - friendly design , but also to make people download my app specifically . Studying similar products from competitors , I realized that none of them told a real story , but only used cliched phrases and techniques to attract the user . Then I realized what I needed to do to succeed .
Before writing the story , I decided to research my audience . I set up an Instagram survey where I asked people a few questions about long - distance relationships , and then interviewed people who had experienced such relationships . In the course of the conversation , I realized , first , what emotions my audience was experiencing from the problem , second , what pains they were going through , and third , what needs they were really experiencing . It turns out that the main need that people in long - distance relationships have is to share emotions , which gives a sense of the reality of the person on the other side of the screen . People miss feeling the presence of a loved one close by . I thought this could be the basis of the story I would tell the user .
Finally , I wrote the story of two young people who became the collective image of my audience . They are a guy and a girl who are going through the real experience of a long - distance relationship and are experiencing the same emotions and pains as potential users of my app . Once the emotional contact with the audience is established , I offer a solution : the characters in my story have downloaded my app and a new phase has begun in their life together . I described the positive emotions they felt and how happy they were to be able to feel each other 's real presence .
Insight&Approach
I realized that a story does n't have to be complicated or unique , the main thing it has to carry is emotion . It should resonate in the consumer 's soul , point to their pains and needs , which will eventually lead the user to a reason to use my brand specifically .
So storytelling is an important tool that can help a brand become truly great . Storytelling is what makes a consumer prefer a brand , despite the advantages of competitors . It is what gives a person an emotion that is sometimes stronger than reason . It is not enough to have a quality product , good service , but it is important to give the consumer unique warm emotions .

Working in the banking industry , I ’ve come to learn that human connection is important
with my line of work . We communicate with people every day on various transactions and have come to develop a relationship with them . The biggest local banks in the Philippines are almost similar in terms of product offerings . Noticeably with bank employees , most of the population seem to work with just a robotic type of service . The key selling point with our team is how we serve our clients better . Application
The key to customer retention is developing a trusted brand for yourself ( and the bank ) ,
to go above and beyond of the products that we sell to our customers . Our clients greatly appreciate how we handle situations and communicate these with them . I greet my clients on their birthday . We ask how their business is doing . I also take the time to explain products , documents , and processes to them so that they understand how slow or fast the transaction will be to manage their expectations . I repeatedly remind them that if they have any questions , they can call me again and again . I appreciate the clients who keep calling since processes and policies change as well . As a result , our clients have developed a mindset to call our bank first for anything they need be it a personal or company request . I ’ve had experiences wherein clients would call me to explain what type of product they ’re availing of even if it ’s for a different bank as well . By being the first in mind of our clients , we create opportunities to further grow the client ’s business and in turn grow the bank ’s business as well . Insight and Approach Our bank has been promoting the behavior of client eccentricity . We ’ve learned to help
our clients and cater to their needs . In the long - term scale , it has resulted in a continuous increase of business transactions with our bank . It might seem like a small aspect of our work , but this small step creates leaps of opportunities to grow for both the client and our bank .

Hypothesis
Our company was in a plan to create new packaging material that would act as an alternative to
the normal polythene paper packaging bags . Studies show that large populaces of Kenyans are shoppers , and therefore , need cheap and an alternatively effective solution for their goods and services . In this case , our company targets mostly small scale shoppers who buy goods for domestic purposes
Assumption
Our assumption was that biodegradable bags are cheap and durable when compared to polythene
bags . They are also easy to dispose , since they can easily decompose . Moreover , biodegradable bags can be used for other purposes such as storage of items such as food staffs .
The other assumption was that biodegradable bags are the best when dealing with environmental
pollution , in fact the government of Kenya has already put into implementation the ban on polythene bags because of their environmental pollution .
Testing Key Assumption
We therefore , assembled three people from each department who would assist in fact finding
from various stakeholders to ascertain whether our ideas are viable or not . For instance , the production department has been tasked with production of a few bags that would be distributed to the various distribution channels such as shopping malls and centers , to get their views act as agents of awareness creation .
The sales people have a task to collect customer response to the product , whether it is acceptable
to the customers , and if not , litigation measures to be taken .
The finance team was to make a quick test on the actual economic impact of the bags to the
company . They had to ascertain production cost in comparison to the returns , and whether the company was able to finance the project . They also had to liaise with company suppliers to get their views on the best material for making the bags .
The technical team had been tasked with finding out the aesthetic viability of the bags . They had
to test the production cycle to ensure that the bags produced met the set standards by the country ’s environmental regulatory body .
Confirming Data
After testing , our product received positive quality response from the various stakeholders and
customers . This subsequently , brought us to our most important step of production and distribution of our bags in large quantities to our target customers .

REFLECTION ON STORYTELLING TOOL
Challenge & Selection Storytelling is a fundamental aspect of every great brand . Every great brand has a story to tell and each story connects to the emotions and the values of the people that live that product every day . Storytelling is the difference between solving a problem and creating a cause . Why did I choose this tool ? For me , I work as a healthcare marketer overseeing products that serves the adult population with medical conditions . My main role includes build the visibility of our products among the healthcare professionals to drive recommendations and build awareness of the role of supplementary nutrition to the adult population . In the healthcare channels , competitor ’s brand presence is very strong , and we have minimal product superiority , we are just a “ me - too ” product . To add on the challenge level , the loyalty level of doctors toward competitors is strong . Competitors have been very aggressive and consistent in their brand communications and visibility to healthcare professionals and population .
As for the population , it is rather a sensitive topic to communicate about “ being sick ” and one needed some form of supplementation of nutritional support . The link between the benefits and need is rather lacking . People usually wo nt proactively search for ways to prevent that , they will only take a proactive approach when they notice changes in their health or being advised by a healthcare professional . Another aspect that makes my role challenging is that there is always misalignment , for instance , the head of department will instruct us to focus only on Product Y but at the business update session , the management will want us to focus on everything . We have been changing our key messaging and value proposition . There is no focus and we are under - staffed with limited resources . The management has been pressuring us to de - average , be more innovative and deliver higher sales each year with constant decreasing allocated marketing budget . This course and exercise might help me discover new ways to improve our communications to build drive our business .
Application This tool might be helpful in helping me build a better brand plan for second half of the year . As mentioned in the lecture itself , there is a few things that I will need to take note to create a good story . Firstly , I need to know my audience well , for this , I might need to initiate a brainstorming session to gather the necessary information to map out what my audience wants and needs . It can also help to determine the preferred mode of communication .
Secondly , I will need to have a clear sequence of events that help me move the story from the beginning to an end . Based on the insights , I might be able to draft out the story for my product , it could be raising the awareness of poor nutrition first followed by the outcome and how they can prevent or manage it . It ’s like a sequence of events and thoughts . Lastly , I will include some moments of reflections to evaluate if there are still questions unanswered that could potentially build suspense and intrigue . It is pivotal for me to create a compelling story that tells the benefits and needs of my product . I wo n’t be able to evaluate if it is effective now but as we kickstart this , we will be able to measure the impact it has on the business .
Insight As I have not implemented this tool into work . But I would anticipate that this will be a good exercise . Currently , we do not gather insights of our audience and we just communicate the way we feel it ’s right ; we been experimenting the best way . And , to be very honest , it is tiring as the idea that works for now might not work the next round . We been tweaking things as we go . It is like “ test - and - learn ” approach . I would anticipate that this will make us more focused , wise spending and the outcome will be desired .
Approach After this exercise , I might want to do another version with visualization tool just to find out which tool works better as there is no one size fits all . Visualization can make the idea more concrete and visible , clear and understandable . I could even incorporate both storytelling and visualization together in my communication materials to the population as the content must be easy to understand , easy to follow through yet impactful .

REFLECTION ON STORYTELLING TOOL
Challenge & Selection Storytelling is a fundamental aspect of every great brand . Every great brand has a story to tell and each story connects to the emotions and the values of the people that live that product every day . Storytelling is the difference between solving a problem and creating a cause . Why did I choose this tool ? For me , I work as a healthcare marketer overseeing products that serves the adult population with medical conditions . My main role includes build the visibility of our products among the healthcare professionals to drive recommendations and build awareness of the role of supplementary nutrition to the adult population . In the healthcare channels , competitor ’s brand presence is very strong , and we have minimal product superiority , we are just a “ me - too ” product . To add on the challenge level , the loyalty level of doctors toward competitors is strong . Competitors have been very aggressive and consistent in their brand communications and visibility to healthcare professionals and population .
As for the population , it is rather a sensitive topic to communicate about “ being sick ” and one needed some form of supplementation of nutritional support . The link between the benefits and need is rather lacking . People usually wo nt proactively search for ways to prevent that , they will only take a proactive approach when they notice changes in their health or being advised by a healthcare professional . Another aspect that makes my role challenging is that there is always misalignment , for instance , the head of department will instruct us to focus only on Product Y but at the business update session , the management will want us to focus on everything . We have been changing our key messaging and value proposition . There is no focus and we are under - staffed with limited resources . The management has been pressuring us to de - average , be more innovative and deliver higher sales each year with constant decreasing allocated marketing budget .

In one of my jobs , I was tasked to revitalize a non - performing safety services business unit in the Oil & Gas industry . There were 2 challenges . The first challenge was that competitors are doing very well but we are not . The second was that the management refused to compromise on price . That means most of our competition would be offering lower prices than us .
Selection
I always love a good story . So do peoples in my industry . Whenever there was a gathering , there will be lots of stories to be told . We love stories . Hence , I adopted storytelling to revitalize the business unit . But I needed an impactful story that will convince my clients to pay us more .
Application
The industry is shaped by many accidents and disaster , namely Piper Alpha , “ Charlie ’s story ” , Deepwater Horizon and many others . The story of Charlie is well known and impactful to many . It tells of the transformation of a man who does not believe in workplace safety . He almost lost his life in an accident . This accident transformed him into a firm believer of safety . This was just the perfect story to tell .
But no . I did not use it . Why ? ( I will reveal later . )
Instead , I choose to paint a picture of a hardworking man called “ John ” in my presentation . John worked in a hazardous environment . He would have died many times but he did n’t . He was in safe hands with a certain company at site . I went on to explain how our services and equipment keep people safe at worksites and why we do better than others .
John was able to go home safely . His manager was glad John could have a good job which pays well and be able to be home safely . More importantly , his manager was satisfied with productivity a safe work culture brings about . This is when I pulled up statistics and calculations of how much cost - savings and time savings we bring . I went on to show how much extra revenue the time save could bring to my clients .
Then I made the comparison of how much we charge versus how much extra margin and revenue they would be getting . And I made the invitation of asking them to share how much of the cost savings and productivity they could achieve . From there , we began our proposal pitch .
Insight & Approach
This story telling way of presentation is a departure from the usual corporate presentations our competition and we used to do . The old style was more technical based and open up to a lot of questions , and sometimes really tough questions . It begins with introduction of what we do and what we provide , followed by our differentiation and the dreaded Q&A. It was aimed at pleasing the technical experts and getting them to please the decision makers who were often more interested in dollars and cents . Our sales team often ended up in awkward situation where they are left stumbled by the more senior technical experts . This is n’t a good situation to be in .
My style of storytelling presentation targeted the decision makers right from beginning . It was aimed at the management levels that could decide the level of spending we are charging our clients . In the past , we were trying to win over people who can only decide to a $ 100 budget to engage a $ 500 service . With this new presentation style , we are winning over people with decision power over a US$ 10,000 budget to engage a $ 500 service .
After the first round of meetings with our existing clients , we were able to increase our revenue by 300 % . This was just the existing clientele that we have . We had further successes with new clients . In 4 years , we grew by 5 times the annual revenue when I took over .
The technical experts were glad that we obtained the buy - in from the higher management first . They were not comfortable in explaining the dollars and cents to their bosses . We solve that issue for them . The management were glad that they have a service provider that understands them well , in dollars and cents .
This was why I did not opt for Charlie ’s story . I was not trying to convince the same group of people as my competitors did – the technical experts . We had been doing that and failed . We targeted a new group – the management .
Every manager wants to be John ’s manager . Storytelling is about projecting the audience into the story and having them visualize their desired outcome . We projected the management ’s desire in the story and have them visualized the outcome together with us .
This tool is powerful when used correctly . Through this tool , we were always able to size up the best deal and proposal for our clients as they shared about their desired outcome , struggles and realistic situation .

CHALLENGE AND SELECTION
I decided to use the narration so that I can empathize with all people and thus share their needs and points of view with me , since at the time we are going to work it is very important to be aware of the unmet needs of the human being , I think it is important they like me learn and share a nice experience . Taking into account all your problems , you will be able to develop various strategies which will help you to set new challenges to overcome . I work more with communities that live off coffee , these people sell their coffee to various companies , sharing the origin of how you get to consume a cup of coffee would be very interesting for them to recognize these people and their effort
Application
Visualize and propose different uses and contexts of the user with the product / service . How can this help you ? Landing the ideas of the business model you are working on . For these cases , we will use a Business Model Canvas template to apply it . Transmit all the effort that these people make to know their history so that consumers who choose this product and are aware of it and have confidence in all producers , that their product is reliable and of quality
We are already clear about the setting and the thread of our story . The next step : Make it interesting . And the thing is that stories can be told in very different ways , and their format will vary depending on the audience and the context .
Videoclip : it will tell the story of a protagonist and her environment through a video that blurs the line that separates reality from fiction . It is usually used when the public is large or for internal use of the company .
Comic strip or collage : in this case a comic strip is used to tell a story in a tangible way . The result is a collection of images to reflect or reproduce the story before a large audience .
PERSPECTIVE AND APPROACH :
We want to insist so much that the link that is generated with the brand thanks to storytelling is very powerful since it is original and very curious
for our viewers , that they are faithful to the product , being their first choice .
Also to be able to share a new experience of how to consume coffee in different ways that differentiates us from others and will make us unique to give a concrete and striking message .
This tool is called a lot : Storytelling is very interesting for all people , it attracts their attention , it is a more creative way that they will be able to visualize it and listen to the story , I am applying this in my small business , I am very grateful to have acquired this knowledge .

Challenge & Selection
My challenge is a real case which I had a several months ago . It is about an insurance company , which wanted to know how customers are experiencing their service during the different service stages . Their problem was that selling insurances is going quite difficult these days , as competition is high and people are tending to contract insurances relying more on the price rather than their service . The insurance company wanted to understand how they can make customers believe in their service rather than in their price , but they did not know how to tackle the topic and all intentions to find it out by themselves were n’t fructiferous . They perceived that customers are quite satisfied with their service in general , but realized that in case of claims , customers are dissatisfied and that they ca n’t handle expectations We have selected storytelling , because we needed a way to make the company aware of a reality which was not seen that way before . The company was used to analyse data and they were working in silos without understanding a bigger context . To use the customer story would have helped them to gain different insights and solutions . Story telling allows us to visualize the service experienced from a customer point of view to create more empathy from company side . Empathy which most of the times is not easy to have if you never change your perspective . Application To understand the situation of the company and how customers are experiencing their service , we decided to interview both sides to have : stakeholder view on company side and customer view from outside . We wanted to know in detail the way the insurance is working with their clients , the processes from the early beginning until the end of the contract or their service when there is a claim . The same thing we have asked the customers to have their point of view .
Putting this information together we designed a case story , were both parties point of view were mapped together in a kind of customer journey about their experience before , at the beginning , during and after the service . We were mapping all together with the different service stages , the customer mood and company touchpoints , to visualize it and to tell them a story of an example customer with al context . The story we have created was presented to the company for discussing together , identifying issues , solutions and finding new opportunities .
Insight The insides we have gathered in this exercise were quite interesting and had a big impact on the way the insurance company is visualizing their service behavior towards the customers . It was really helpful to review a story with the insights from stakeholders and customers combined , to understand where are the issues in the communication between both parties . We found out that there are several gaps were customers , especially when they had claims , felt kind of lost and the companies service proposition was not fulfilled from customer point of view . Customers were unhappy to have a lot of paperwork and about the time needed to conclude the claim . The overall experience was that the engagement of the customers was big at the beginning of the contract and decreasing during the time . When they just had to renew the contract they were n’t aware of the service . On the other hand , if they had had a claim during the contracted period , the experience was negative and they were n’t satisfied at all with the service .
Approach
Storytelling is a great tool to make people aware of things they wo n’t see just by reviewing data . In my case , the insurance company was aware of complaints from customers during the claim process , but they did not know the great picture and were not seeing the gap between there service proposition and reality . We could have combined our story with visualization , which would had made it even clearer to the company .

Our challenge is to improve welcome experience of users and ensure to make them use our product after downloading . Since the problem has been addressed that some of new users do not sign - up after downloading the app . In order to generate the best design solution , we give importance to crowd sourcing in our project . So , the project team consists of 10 team members who are working at different departments of the company , from technical and non - technical sides . Selection As most of the team members have not been involved in this kind of project carried out through design thinking methodology before ; I prefer to use tools of visualization in order to build a good understanding of problem that we are trying to solve . I created a research wall to display insights and all relevant research outputs in one place . The visual aspect of the wall triggered idea generation and enabled project members to better understand research insights . I usually use mind mapping tool in order to generate an idea and represent concepts . It helps us to better analyze , comprehend , synthesize , recall and generate new ideas . Application I started the process with determining the main purpose of our mind map and wrote it down . In order to address main purpose ; we focused on 4 questions . ( What is ? What if ? What wows ? What works ? ) Our main concept was creating simple and easy sign - up / sign - in process which is our main problem that we have been trying to work through . Secondly , we added branches that will outline the most basic subtopics including a lot of details , keywords and short phrases . While we were drawing our mind map , we used images , shapes , different colored markers and steaky notes instead of the traditional box shape . For the activity , I gave the participants 10 min . free time in order to write the keywords and their short phrases on their steaky notes on their own . Then we grouped all items on the wall together with discussing . After that we repeated the same process for generating lower- level subtopics as well . And connected each of those to the corresponding subtopic . In our first mind maps , the team members ’ temptation was to write a complete phrase . But after practicing and discussing about each phrase during categorization stage , we shortened
it to a single word / figure . So that our mind map became much more effective with brain storming as well . Insight & Approach Visualization tools helped us better understanding the problem and create better - designed solutions in our project . In order to design the solution , first we have to build a good understanding of the problem that we are trying to solve . This approach helped us build connections between different findings and understand the bigger picture . At the beginning stage _ understanding the problem ; we also used other visualization tools such as personas and customer journey maps not only mind map indeed . Mind mapping avoided dull , linear thinking , jogging our creativity and making note taking fun . Mind mapping enabled our team members to learn faster , communicate more efficiently and brainstorm more effectively . With a mind map , project members also could see easily if their ideas were being recorded accurately by the facilitator and how their ideas relate to previous comments shared by their peers . As a result , participants could see the plan evolve thorough their input and share additional thoughts that also get added into the evolving plan . I will continue to use design thinking tools in our project for the upcoming stages as well . We plan to get benefit from storytelling tool during design sprint and final presentation of project . We can use our insights to tell a story about who our users are , what they need and how we will provide that . This story would make it easy for everyone involved in the project to empathize with the users and ensure that their work matches the story . To sum up ; having a story throughout our project means marketing the design at the end of the design process is also straightforward , as we already know exactly which story to tell to show how our final design solution provides value .

I am a member of the Art Direction of an advertising agency and at one point we had a challenge ( which looked more like an iceberg to be broken / stoned ) . This challenge arose through one of our Textile customers , who questioned us about the insignificant impact on their sales even though they increased their investment in various impact media .
Selection
Even with a plethora of data and “ supposed ” knowledge from the target audience , we have come up with shorter and cheaper test methods . The challenge then was to take an entire team ( which involved art , service , planning , etc ) out of their comfort zone and leave tangible and satisfying results sought to keep such an important customer with us .
Application
Through the studies I managed to put into question an ethnographic research to know who our true audience was what he was looking for , what were his fears and his objections , among other doubts . With the total opening of the client and together of my team , we selected 10 clients to whom they were visiting the textile store and we interviewed them . The entire team knew the challenges and openness of just listening to what the respondents had to say , without influencing their arguments .
Insight & Approach
Well , that was just incredible . Synchronization and the search for a solution was something I had never experienced before . With the cross - referencing of ethnographic data , we identified the major objections to the product , myths and even the dreams of these clients in possessing an ever beautiful and elegant bed as seen in movies and soap operas .
I then produced a Canvas from the whole series of interviews , thus generating a hug surprise on the part of those involved , since the data that we had previously in hand , no longer represented who we thought . The result could not be otherwise . Through new media using educational videos , our client had an expressive organic increase in search for purchases and the exponential increase in the engagement of his audience with his brand .
Now the whole team has reviewed their work , abandoning everything they thought they knew about that particular client . This new tool has enabled the team to be more accurate and test ideas more quickly and efficiently . This course opened my mindset , making me a determined person to test and learn , to go on the field even if it fails . Everyone involved is happy so I will be forever grateful for learning .

After sixty or so years of procrastinating on an idea revolving around uplifting the pillow division , the company decided to purchase some land and build a factory that manufactures pillows . The CEO had a dream some years back that one day pillows will generate as much business as the bedsheets themselves . After reviewing the data on how over the years , pillows had indeed started to gain popularity with the local consumers he decided to activate this dream and presented the challenge to me . Already , we had a business model that functioned organically and showed profit by targeting the mass market . Since the existing platform had garnered enough interest by the general public the next step was , to truly understand what the product could do and how best peel its layers and create more product diversity through the filling , inner shell and outer shell . The occasion of the pandemic provided an opportunity because , firstly everyone was stuck at home with their existing bed items and secondly , they realized they needed a change . Probably the most beneficial aspect of calling attention to the idea that pillows needed replacing was the fact that the consumers did not understand the kind pillows they were buying and what type of sleepers they were . This was a fantastic moment to bring about a transformation for the local consumer market . SELECTION : I decided to use storytelling as my chosen tool with the simple goal of making the consumer understand that they needed our product , despite many other varieties of pillows in the market . I was going to create a story that would be empathetic . I used the video of Luke Navarro ( Global leadership development director ) because he was very strategic when he stated that “ Every great brand has a story to connect to the emotions , the character and the value of the people that live the product everyday . ” Our brand is great , our brand is trusted because of its more than 60 years of service to the local public , and our brand cares for the people . Since the brand connects with the people , we have its ear , all we need to do is provide them a logical explanation by giving them the facts , data , and recommendations . APPLICATION : The first step is to design my story for my audience ( references were social media , websites and physical store visits ): I prepared a series of slides using power point to convey my story with texts and images that would connect to my target audience and when I was done I called in the Managing director who then invited 3 of his sales executives , and five regular customers ( a designer , a bank executive , a retail buyer , two accounting staff ) . The next step is creating a sequence of events/ build suspense : A good story for me starts with a scene that introduces the main character immediately . In this case the main character was a pillow . Beneath the image was a question : What position do I sleep in ? This immediately brought several smiles around the table . After a round of discussion on positions of sleep , my sequence of slides depicted cartoon images of the possible sleep positions by people , either on the side , on your back , or stomach or multi positions . After capturing the emotions of the audience in this way . I proceeded to point out the things that consumers should look for when they choose a pillow such as loft , size , weight and most important filling material as well shell material . This raised a lot of questions and what impacted on me the most was even the managing director was unaware of some of the facts I presented such as we were using PET filling which is sustainable , shells varied therefore if you
use a microfiber shell the filling became tougher and when using 100 % cotton shell , the filling was softer because it could breathe through the fabric . Insulation was a key factor in ensuring that there was no heat build up and other important facts that we needed to understand about our sleep . After showing different possibilities illustrations shapes of pillows and benefits to sleep , I noticed the audience was silent for a moment before the question began to volley forward . The story tool was the first step in attracting attention to the possibilities of what our company could do with it ’s pillow factory and the way the brand could position the product in the market against all odds . After the presentation was delivered , I received the approval to proceed with developments and improvements . INSIGHT : When I started in this company over 15 years ago , I was dependent on graphs , charts , numbers , extremely tedious data analysis that took me weeks to condense before presenting a possibility of direction . It was always very bland and basic . However , when I took the approach of story telling , my energy seemed to be impacted . It created an excitement within me that fueled the conversation and made it quite exciting . I am no expert or doctor of sleep but suddenly my presentation created a shift in the very organization I worked in where I would find people approaching me to recommend pillows . Suddenly I became the pillow expert in the company . That is a funny result but fulfilling . APPROACH : In making presentations I have always relied on presenting , charts , graphs , pie charts , excel sheets , to show numbers and I believe it is important , but it can be improved . Storytelling as a tool provided an exciting creative approach to presenting facts by building suspense . It was different , innovative and fun to create . Perhaps on another level I could use The VISUALIZATION TOOL because it can also tell a story but using images more creatively . I ’m a fine art artist and I like to paint so I can relate to visual images and cleverly manipulate them into my challenge because just like a movie I could present the images in a manner that would create an energetic vibe but conveying the same message .

Challenge & Selection
I used the concept of Visualization in my regular work , I am currently working with a client [ a product- based company manufacturing machines that manufacture Integrated Chips , my job is to build IT for the stakeholders of my client which has major modules . I used the first tool of Visualization , to achieve a shared understanding of a problem space among a diverse group of stakeholders before attempting to identify and define possible solutions to the problem . I have used the technique of using a straw man visualization of a problem domain with a set of questions or prompts for discussion to allow a diverse group of stakeholders to learn from each other in the process of defining the scope , boundaries , key elements , and relationships between elements to consider when identifying pain points and opportunities for improvements or solutions .
Application
Initially I ’ll start the process by creating a straw man graphic of the problem domain . To develop the straw man graphic , I will draw from any existing material available to understand the environment . If the materials are n’t available then I ’ll conduct informal interviews with few of the stakeholders who serve as initial initiative to the for the main points .
If apt to the situations , ill borrow the concept to ‘ front - stage / back - stage ” from previous research . The front - stage / back - stage approach helps to reinforce the notion that every service- even an internal service has customers with whom the service providers interact and the internal processes that enable the organization to provide the service . The presentation template I often start with has a column to identify the key partners and value stake holders , directors and other entities that may add constraints to show how the organization operates . The straw man graphic is simple , using simple shapes and icons available in Visio or on the net . If the front - stage / back - stage view does n’t work , then I will create a different type of visual , either based on high - level process flow with lanes from different stakeholders , or any other format that set .
For the activity , I will divide the stakeholders into groups of 3 - 4 participants each representing a different organization or area of interest . Each group receives a poster - size copy of the straw man graphic that they can write on directly , or use sticky notes to make comments . I give them two - three questions to answer , such as : 1 ) What key elements are missing from the graphic ? 2 ) What would you change about the graphic to make it more accurately reflect your problem space ? 3 ) What key insights do you have about the relationships between the entities in your problem space ? I give them approximately 20 minutes to discuss the questions and mark up the graphic . Then I have each group report out on their answers to those three questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their poster . As each group reports out , I record commonalities in the insights of each group , and then additional insights that come from the group discussion on an additional copy of the graphic . After the session , I digitize each group ’s poster as an artifact , create a view that combines the shared and new insights from the group discussion , and then create a revised graphic that incorporates their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group .
Insight & Approach
What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that while the graphic – especially the revised graphic that incorporates their feedback – is important for reinforcing their understanding of the problem they are working to solve , the more valuable aspect of the activity is the shared insights and shared learning that occurs while they are working to define their problem space . The graphic gives the diverse group of stakeholders a focal point for discussion that allows them to share their perspectives and develop insights into potential root causes of their problems . While they could create the graphic from a blank slate in a collaborative manner , starting with a straw man jump starts the conversation for them . They can quickly identify where they are in the graphic – or if they are missing – and can more quickly gain new insights about relationships between key entities instead of taking time to identify them . They can also identify variables in the problem space – that is , it helps them to identify what they do n’t know , in what areas they need to obtain information or data to provide the values for the variables . Since I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning , next time I would use the visualization activity as a starting point for a series of design thinking activities . Then the revised graphic that incorporates their combined feedback can serve as a reference tool throughout the remainder of their project .

The presentation template I often start with has a column to identify the key partners and value stake holders , directors and other entities that may add constraints to show how the organization operates . The straw man graphic is simple , using simple shapes and icons available in Visio or on the net . If the front - stage / back - stage view does n’t work , then I will create a different type of visual , either based on high - level process flow with lanes from different stakeholders , or any other format that set .
For the activity , I will divide the stakeholders into groups of 3 - 4 participants each representing a different organization or area of interest . Each group receives a poster - size copy of the straw man graphic that they can write on directly , or use sticky notes to make comments . I give them two - three questions to answer , such as : 1 ) What key elements are missing from the graphic ? 2 ) What would you change about the graphic to make it more accurately reflect your problem space ? 3 ) What key insights do you have about the relationships between the entities in your problem space ? I give them approximately 20 minutes to discuss the questions and mark up the graphic . Then I have each group report out on their answers to those three questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their poster . As each group reports out , I record commonalities in the insights of each group , and then additional insights that come from the group discussion on an additional copy of the graphic . After the session , I digitize each group ’s poster as an artifact , create a view that combines the shared and new insights from the group discussion , and then create a revised graphic that incorporates their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group .
Insight & Approach
What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that while the graphic – especially the revised graphic that incorporates their feedback – is important for reinforcing their understanding of the problem they are working to solve , the more valuable aspect of the activity is the shared insights and shared learning that occurs while they are working to define their problem space . The graphic gives the diverse group of stakeholders a focal point for discussion that allows them to share their perspectives and develop insights into potential root causes of their problems . While they could create the graphic from a blank slate in a collaborative manner , starting with a straw man jump starts the conversation for them . They can quickly identify where they are in the graphic – or if they are missing – and can more quickly gain new insights about relationships between key entities instead of taking time to identify them . They can also identify variables in the problem space – that is , it helps them to identify what they do n’t know , in what areas they need to obtain information or data to provide the values for the variables . Since I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning , next time I would use the visualization activity as a starting point for a series of design thinking activities . Then the revised graphic that incorporates their combined feedback can serve as a reference tool throughout the remainder of their project .

It was obvious that there is a room for improvement in currently available services and new technology could change the „ X ” therapy . Corporate Strategy Department has identified a niche on the market that none of the competitors was interested in that time . The project team has came - up with the list of key features of new product , has determined the key elements of the medical procedure for therapy „ X ” , has identified all legislation requirements applicable to this category of medical products , and identified patients , healthcare professionals and insurers ( providing a healthcare insurance to the patients ) as a key stakeholders including their plausible needs . Based on above information the R&D department has prepared a product prototype for clinical tests , and afterwards preproduction model that could be used for real case tests on patients . Since no one before has offered a product for this market segment it was very difficult to establish a detailed business model ( BM ) for this product . Main elements of BM were obvious but there was a list of details which were critical for new product to succeed . The key challenge of the final stage of the project was to gather missing information required to finalise the business model . The company had already relation with more than 100 clinics across country , and with all major insurers providing financing for healthcare services offered to the patients .
Selection It was not clear what is the optimum business model for such a cutting - edge technology . However for the team it was clear that missing information can be gathered in the field . During clinical tests the team has confirmed the effectiveness of the new technology . But now they were looking for answer to the question : What will work from the business point of view ? They decided to use Learning Launch to find the answers . Learning launch is the best tool to obtain an answers for the questions which require the field research or the experiment representing real life scenarios . It was presented in module 4 of the Design Thinking course and it is tool number 10 of all tools proposed by the Design Thinking methodology .
Application The team had three questions they wanted to find answers for : - What is the impression of the healthcare professionals about new product ? - What are the details of the business model for the service that will use the new technology ? - What is the optimum financing model for the service that insurer should use ?
The first learning launch was designed to obtain answers to question one and two . 5 clinics were chosen with the longest cooperation history with the company . The system was introduced to healthcare professionals in the clinics and they were asked to us the product for patients monitoring for two months . During that period once a week company ’s sales person was contacting with the clinic and collecting feedback to questions from the specially designed survey and collected also all process participants impressions . During the first launch sales team was also collecting information required to workout with insurers an optimum financing model . After the first launch was completed the sales team started negotiations of new insurance with the insurers , which will provide financing for the new „ X ” therapy monitoring service . Also BM was finalised based on gathered in surveys information . In order to get a final confirmation of the business model the second learning launch was designed and launched in 10 clinics across the country . It also lasted for two months and once a week company ’s sales person was contacting with the each clinic participating in the pilot project , and collecting feedback to questions from the specially designed survey and collected also all process participants impressions . During this period new product was used for the patients ’ monitoring as it was intended by the company . Two learning launches allowed to the project team to gather all missing information and close all opens items related with BM and financing model .
Insights Two learning launches were a perfect tool to test assumptions defined on the previous project phases . This tool is very useful before roll - out of all kind of the products or services that are novelty on the market and in cases when it is very difficult to predict customers reaction on the new product . It is also perfect tool to test a concepts that require field tests , with involvement of the end users , tests that are required before product will be officially rolled - out to the broad market . Especially in medical devices industry it s a very helpful tool that helps to avoid costly mistakes during new cutting - edge product introductions . Thanks to the insights from two conducted learning launches it was possible for the project team to adjust business model , and prepare financing model for the service before product was officially announced to the market . As a result the company could offer new product during roll - out with the optimum financing and business model at that time .
Approach According to the team the learning launch is the single most effective tool that can solve the challenge the team was facing within design thinking methodology . In case described above the experiments conducted in real life environment , involving end users and key stakeholders are always the most effective way to test end product business model . The insights and experience collected during project is valuable lesson for the team , and will be used by the project participants for continuous improvement of the tolls used within company .

Challenge
At the Institute of Cardiology at my University Hospital we are challenge to provide the best care for patients that undergone Percutaneous Coronary Interventions ( e.g. , stent implementation ) . To accomplish our task we need to have a deep understanding of patients ’ lifestyle choices , biochemistry processes , genetic profiles , and other determinants of disease - free survival . Much is already known on the factors influencing survival however to establish better treatment schemes further hypotheses must be generated and tested in clinical research . The process of generating hypotheses on relation between survival and other seemingly uncorrelated actors from different research fields ( e.g. , behavioural studies , work activity ) is particularly challenging .
Selection
A Mind Mapping technique was chosen as a tool to organise the knowledge across various science disciplines and to show existing relationships between different aspects of patients ’ wellbeing and health . A Mind Mapping tool was chosen because it is one of the most effective way of organising knowledge that inspires creativity . It is constructed as a diagram of relationships leading from one main concept to another – potentially providing indirect connections between seemingly unrelated ideas . The concepts in our applications are the health aspects with the potential of being analysed as factors indirectly influencing survival . The Mind Mapping technique was discussed in Week 3 of the class . it is important to recognize , that the “ mind ” is associated with the patient who can be interpreted as a customer in traditional design thinking approach .
Application
A highly interdisciplinary team of scientists , researchers and clinicians was put together to provide insights from different disciplines . During on - site meeting , those experts discussed different aspects of patient health and wellbeing in the context of treatment after Percutaneous Coronary Interventions . The Mind Maps were created by the meeting moderator . Big white board with markers was used as well as pieces of paper and magnets with construct mind maps during the meeting .
Insight
This process continued over several meetings produced number of mind maps of different ideas connected by few other concepts . We have discovered few factors that could have hypothetical influence on survival that have not been studied before . Those insights are planned to be tested during clinical research .
We have learned that quality of sleep can affect blood coagulation and levels of inflammation . Also both coagulation and inflammation can affect patients ’ outcome after Percutaneous Coronary Interventions . However direct influence of quality of sleep on survival of patients after the intervention and the potential mechanism of such an influence have not yet been studies and have a potential for development of further treatment and guidelines .
Approach
The use of Ming Mapping to our challenge was very successful , however using a white board with markers was difficult due to huge number of concepts and great level of details . Documentation of created Mind Maps was done using photos which made difficult to work with them in the future .
Next time we will implement software to create Mind Maps which will eliminate need for other documentation methods . Good solution could be to use online applications like www.mindmup.com to enhance collaboration .

Challenge . I work in a company of a phone application dedicated to selling items via internet , specifically by videocalls . The main objective is that potential buyers can communicate in a permanent and instantaneous way with the sellers . Every question buyers want to ask , can be answered by the seller during a videocall , which is the best way to communicate online , to avoid misunderstandings and be clear and precise about the product ’s characteristics . Although it is an interesting service , there were few shops using this method . Videocall shop consumers ’ needed to pay fifty ( 50 ) dollars per month in order to sell their products . My idea was to change this method of payment into a method based on commissions per sell . Selection . I decided to go for the Learning Launch Tool . This tool consists on testing a prototype in several small and cheap experiments . In this way , it is possible to test which aspects of an idea are correct , and which ones are not but can be modified . In addition , it is possible to collect information from different places so as to reach a conclusion . Application . Firstly , I decided to contact some of the shops that were once users of the app , but were not anymore . One of their principal causes for them to stop using it was its cost . They explained that paying 50 dollars per month was no longer a reasonable cost . Most app users are dedicated to selling small and cheap products . They did not want to pay a cost they were not sure it would be profitable . So they decided not to take that risk . When I proposed to them to pay a fee only for each product they sold , many changed their minds about Videocall Shop . Paying a commission per sale allowed them to have some flexibility , as they were not forced to cover the cost . They could prioritize other commercial areas , and use our app only when they found it convenient . Secondly , I contacted new shops , that have never used Videocall Shop . I presented and explained the app , and exposed the two different ways of payment . To a group of shops , I told them the application costed 50 dollars per month . To the other group , I explained the commission per sale method . In the first group , none of the shops were interested in using our service . In the second one , many of them were interested in trying it , and started using the app . Their main thought was that paying a price in order to begin to use the app felt like a barrier . Companies were not interested in paying a cost before they even knew they would have profit . But paying a commission for each sale presented a different view . Insight . By applying the Learning Launch Tool , we discovered that the problem of not having many customers was not the service provided , but the method of payment . The results
of this investigation showed majority of shops found more preferable paying a commission for each sale , instead of paying an amount of money every month . The application of this tool show opinions from different people , and from different points of view . However , it resulted in a successful result . Videocall Shop ’ downloads increased in a 200 % in one month . Approach . This is the first time our company used a design thinking tool and it was a success . It allowed us to understand better an aspect of the customers ’ needs . If we had applied it earlier , we would definitely have not lost so much money and customers . We are looking forward to using other design thinking tools in the future , as this one was a success .

Once analyzed the paterns and relatable content in my mind mappin i discovered what the
family business have operations and that operation have to be in a good compliance , to
measuare tax compliance , taking the element like what kind of business is and where is it
and what are they wanna go .
In the bennefits of the discovered i could visualizing reputation , ethics , confidence ,
resilience , optimization
INSIGHT
The data could provide us a design tinking guide to have a manual - code of ethics liabilities
of the tax authorities , dilligence with the cliente and communication . In the long of the tax
year , the communication could be by fiscal quarter .
APPROACH
In other alternative the mind mapping help me to identify the aplication of the dilligence and
communication when the clients apply for it , spontaneous in the tax year in accordance with
the operation holds by the parties .

Challenge and Selection .
The tool I used in my experiment is Mind Mapping . As described in the Module , “ it is looking for patterns and insights in large quantity of data one has collected during the exploration of ‘ What Is ’ . ” In my line of work on Supply Chain Logistics , for several years our ways of doing have remained traditional . A big chunk of our operations model remained the same . But the company reviewed the essential concerns in our decision processes that may have direct impact to either cost or customer satisfaction . I have gathered enough data and see the interlaying concerns both the company and the customer may have and identified this as the project ’s common goal . With Mind Mapping tool , the team I worked with , hope to establish a criteria as we proceed with the ‘ What If ’ idea generation phase as we continue to explore the possibility of tweaking the way we do things in Logistics .
Application .
We begin by identifying the ‘ What is ’ phase . Really laying out all the information we have currently . The team had to understand the present indicators we have , that affect our department ’s performance including Lead Time , Cost , and Delivery Compliance . During this part , as the module may call as “ Journey Mapping ” , every detail available in all the information fields must be understood thoroughly to help pin point the factors the causes the problem and the effect of each to the entire scope .
Soon as we have obtained commonalities , we have to continue being creative and step out of our usual planning state of mind . This brought us to realizing a new business platform driving growth and attraction for the new set of customers – E - Commerce . This platform suggests the availability of goods anywhere and anytime which only means in a Supply Chain – Logistics stand point , operations must be agile and quick to respond . And this is not impossible , as new transport models are available i.e. Motorcycles , Motorbikes , or even customized delivery boxes attached to smaller vehicles are made , increasing their agility to deliver . Clearly , this new Operations Model in the rise may be catering to a B2C or Supplier to Household Model , but the creative process of Mind Mapping may suggest that such , may also be worth considering to the way we cater now to our customers which is a B2B , Supplier to Customer business model .
Insight and Approach .
The practice of Mind Mapping allowed me to gain a new perspective to innovate the way I have always looked at data and perhaps challenge current infrastructures .
The experiment conducted here , have been tested to prove its theoretical assumptions and ultimately prove its concept to an ever changing business land - scape . This was done with several test and learn approaches while backed up with data to identify where to begin the testing . Furthermore , the experiment continues to seek new findings to present at a ‘ Brainstorming ’ session where collective insights from the team and experiential learning were carefully considered

1 - 2 challenge and selection
In recent years it has been noticed that compared with younger workers the productivity of the ones in their last ten years of work before retirement is generally lower , especially for the ones in non - managerial positions . To solve this problem : the first step put in place was to gather as much information as possible . All the data regarding the worker 's productivity was collected and arranged into graphs that showed declining curves starting as far as the fifteen years before retirement . We interviewed many people in different positions and made profiles of the worker types . To better understand the problem and come out with innovative insights and points of view , we decided to use the mind mapping tool involving different people of the firm subject of the study . We called both managerial and non - managerial workers . The mind mapping tool was thought to be an efficient way to start a conversation between workers and to create a common view of the problem while solving any conflict that might arise .
3 application
All the previously collected information was organized and placed in a common workspace . Around 30 people were invited to participate in the exchange . They were asked to go around the room and look at the information and then discuss it in groups . After the discussion , the ideas of the different groups were talked amongst everyone and placed on a blackboard . This created a visual representation of the insight putting together the similar points that were made and identifying connections between them . Sometimes it was hard to get participants to dig deep and go beyond superficial observations or to find the common denominators between ideas from the managers and other workers . Continuously asking questions guided them to insightful answers .
4 . insight
It turned out that the biggest reasons why the productivity of older workers declined were a lack of motivation derived by the feeling of not being valued and not seeing a possibility for growth and advancement in their careers . The design thinking process helped uncover deep - seated problems that were not immediately represented by traditional data . It also encouraged a productive conversation between members of the firm that led to a less divisive solution .
5 approach
Although the tool used turned out to be efficient , the storytelling tool would also be a great asset to present the problem in a more humane way going beyond numbers and towards an empathic , people sensitive approach .

Challenge
I am heading one of the Product Lines in the Packaging Materials company and lead a team of Product Managers . We work a lot with the new product development , but very often base ideas on how new products shall look and perform based on our own assumptions and technical capabilities , rather than on customer insights and needs . In this assignment , I would like to reflect how we utilized learning launch on one of the new products . Specific of our business is that it is very capital heavy and launching new product requires many investments into development work , some production asset adjustments , promotion , etc . Therefore , if the product does not fly – risk of losing substantial money is high .
Selection
Learning Launch is a great tool to test if idea or product can meet customers ’ needs and create value for them before decisions with big financial impact are done . It can be used to test the entire concept or specific assumption and from my perspective represents the quintessence of the agile approach . The aim of using this instrument is not to prove that idea is right , but to test if it fails or not – so failure is similarly welcomed result as success , important that it happens quick and cheap .
Application
Starting with the product development – something that has been already done in the past . We had a need to fill production capacity and decided to develop a product that would fit to the “ sweet spot ” ( optimal production parameters that gives the highest efficiency ) of production . Our assumption was that this product could be used for customer segment that is new for us and our assumptions for the product concept were based on the subjective judgment of that business and product requirements . Since we were targeting a production sweet spot , it was not difficult to create recipe and produce material , but we decided to first test that our assumptions were correct before launching new product . So , we got to the Learning Launch . We produced limited lots of materials and identified customers who would be potential interested in the product . We approached some of those customers with presentation of our product and samples . Already after the first round of discussions we realized that our assumptions about the market were not correct – due to some technical limitations in the basis weight of the material , that machine can produce , we could address only niche segment – that helped us to get realistic expectations of needed production capacity . Second step was to present the material and test our assumption that we have the best visual appearance then competitors . And we have got this confirmation , however also learned that visual appearance plays 20 % in the choice of material , while 80 % depends on specific physical properties that we do n’t even measure ( remember , it ’s a new business segment for us ) . Back home we made measurements to understand that we are far behind the competition . Good that we produced very limited volumes of this prototype . We scrapped it and develop new concept that was fundamentally different from the first one – increased the physical properties , sacrificing visual appearance . We have selected the size
that seamed to be popular , again produced prototype in limited volumes , but more than first time . We sent new prototype to wider range of customers to test if our material delivers on the physical properties but is lighter in weight ( competitive advantage ) . And we have got positive feedbacks with some improvement wishes ! But also learned that selected size does n’t suit all customers and we need to extend the line with at least two more sizes . Again , we developed 3rd prototype , considering customers feedback and created it in few extra sizes . This final approach to the customers has shown that we got to the point ! Only after this we adjusted machinery for the scale production , defined that name and prepared the proper product launch campaign .
Insights
Here I would like to share a paradox . I have written earlier that learning launch is a good tool for a quick test . In fact , using this tool took 6 months longer time vs initial plan . But if we have n’t used it , we ’ll spent a lot of money , adjusted production , produced stock and launched new product just to learn that it does n’t answer the needs of customers and they will not buy it . We have failed relatively quick and cheap with 3 prototypes to develop good product . This case also helped us to learn that our assumption are very often biased by our past experience and instead of trying understand real needs of customers we are looking for confirmations of our assumptions .
Approach
Learning Launch is definitely good alternative to the conventional approach , when product development is based only on the desktop study , assumptions and existing technical capabilities . We have seen the value of involving customers early in the process , testing and iterating . Moreover , we will apply this approach to other product development projects , as well as to design of the service offerings . We also would like to use more agile methods in the process , for instance try SCRUM process .

By Asia Lemus , 4/2/19
Challenge
I am a project manager in field operations and recently inherited a project to change behavior of our field technicians . The “ ask ” is for our field technician ’s to start leaving descriptive notes as to what they did to resolve a customer ’s issue . The importance and value of this effort is tremendous . The intention is to leverage the data we collect from the notes and other relevant data ( such as call reason and technician resolution ) to influence how our call center team is trained and to improve their tools to eliminate sending technicians for issues that can be fixed by us remotely or by guiding the customer through the fix . It is extremely important for the technicians to embrace and adopt this new procedure by not only entering these notes , but entering the right information to support data analysis to uncover the root cause .
Selection
While myself and many other identified subject matter experts could have easily pulled together several solid solutions and approaches to this project , I opted to leverage the Learning Launch to ensure we identified and deployed the best solution to not only be successful but to ensure we sustain our success . Due to the fact that I am very much aware that changing behavior is no easy feat and by already having a keen sense of who my customers are and what is important to them , I did anticipate they would feel uneasy about the request as it will add time to their job and they may even be fearful to enter honest and accurate information in the note the learning launch felt like the right tool to ensure we were creating a simple and intuitive solution to help create their buy in and adoption . The learning launch process allowed me to focus more time on generating out of the box ideas and surfacing even more assumptions than we have today . But most importantly , the process of conducting a small test with those that actually have to use it , adopt to it and embrace it is where the most value came from .
Application
I gathered subject matter experts , those that had previously been field technicians and others that did not , as well as , included a few with technical solutions expertise . We reviewed past training and messaging published to get a sense of what the current ask was . We reviewed data around how many technicians leave notes , on what type of jobs , what type of information does the note include , are there some technicians that do this every time , some that never do it and what is the difference between those technicians ? We evaluated how the system presented the note field today , where it was in the workflow , what was the verbiage and graphics around it , etc . We then generated ideas to get technicians to be committed to leave a note every time that included the specifics of what was done to solve the problem they were sent there to solve . However , we did limit ourselves to ensuring we focused on making this simple and not adding time to the technicians job .
We came up with several good ideas and then picked the one we knew we could n’t do without . We tested our solution with a small group of technicians and found our assumptions were correct . Our technicians embraced the new flow and tools and it was very apparent that giving them options of how they will enter the note was very important ( ie , voice to text , text entry , picking from a defined list or a combination of all options ) . However , we discovered we did n’t spend enough time ensuring our testers understood why the change was so important . This was a huge discovery that we should have prepared for as we readied the team for the test and is now something we are incorporating into the launch package , but will be testing that through a Learning Launch first to confirm we have it just right .
Insight
The benefits to being able to perform a quick hands on experiment or test is a win for all involved . Not only were we able to confirm our assumption of what was needed , we also found that our oversight around explaining the Why was a big miss . In addition , the test allowed us to get our technicians involved early and they quickly felt a sense of ownership and pride in helping to make this the best solution it could be . The learning lesson concept is truly a quick way to confirm if ideas make sense in application not just on paper or in theory and if they will ultimately support the goal .
Approach
We are incorporating a bit of a different approach to our next learning launch for this same challenge by incorporating Story Telling into the launch . We will focus more on benefits for the technician ( what ’s in it for them ) and to tell that story in many different ways to support different learning types such as visual , aural and verbal . While we can easily modify our systems to support technicians entering notes in many different ways and can make the note a mandatory field the bottom line is we still need the technician to feel compelled to leave a note that accurately describes what was done to fix an issue . In order to drive this behavior we will tell a story to reach people emotionally in a way that ensures genuine commitment to the cause , engaging their hearts as well as their minds in our call to action , making them feel as if they are part of a game changing program .

### Input: Design Thinking Challenge - Learning Launch
By Asia Lemus , 4/2/19
Challenge
I am a project manager in field operations and recently inherited a project to change behavior of our field technicians . The “ ask ” is for our field technician ’s to start leaving descriptive notes as to what they did to resolve a customer ’s issue . The importance and value of this effort is tremendous . The intention is to leverage the data we collect from the notes and other relevant data ( such as call reason and technician resolution ) to influence how our call center team is trained and to improve their tools to eliminate sending technicians for issues that can be fixed by us remotely or by guiding the customer through the fix . It is extremely important for the technicians to embrace and adopt this new procedure by not only entering these notes , but entering the right information to support data analysis to uncover the root cause .
Selection
While myself and many other identified subject matter experts could have easily pulled together several solid solutions and approaches to this project , I opted to leverage the Learning Launch to ensure we identified and deployed the best solution to not only be successful but to ensure we sustain our success . Due to the fact that I am very much aware that changing behavior is no easy feat and by already having a keen sense of who my customers are and what is important to them , I did anticipate they would feel uneasy about the request as it will add time to their job and they may even be fearful to enter honest and accurate information in the note the learning launch felt like the right tool to ensure we were creating a simple and intuitive solution to help create their buy in and adoption . The learning launch process allowed me to focus more time on generating out of the box ideas and surfacing even more assumptions than we have today . But most importantly , the process of conducting a small test with those that actually have to use it , adopt to it and embrace it is where the most value came from .

Challenge & Selection
Storytelling is something that I use to express myself . I ’m a college student and along with my studies I also work for a private day care centre near my residence . A lot of kids coming their having either both their parents working or are brought up by single parents . Children can sometimes be fussy , adamant and difficult to handle . I share stories of my life with a dash of fantasy or humor sometimes in order to pacify them and help them grow their imagination or entertain them sometimes .
Application
So I started using storytelling in my work life when I was asked to handle a bunch of 10 kids around 10 to 13 years of age as an interview process . They were special kids and need altogether different kind of attention and environment . Since I never had any experience handling kids before it was quite a task for me . But that ’s when the idea of telling a story hit me . I started with the story of a king and his four wives that stood for beauty , knowledge , popularity and love . I was glad that the kids loved the story since they were hooked up till the end and my day was saved . I was elated to know that my interviewers liked my unique way of storytelling and thought what I did was not only entertaining but educating as well and that landed me the job . As I continue working there I found that my stories do have a lot of impact on these kids . One of the kids there who has learning disability has picked up writing his own short stories and sharing it with his friends .
Insight and Approach
The mother of the kid told me that her son had started showing signs of learning disability from a very young age and that hampered him a lot in adjusting into new environments , meet new people or make new friends . She used to be tensed regarding the happiness and growth of her child as a social animal and how he will adjust with people growing up . But she says stories have sparked a new ray of hope in her life . She has observed how her son has started imagining things and try making his own short stories and sharing it with his day care friends . All I can say is my fondness for storytelling that saved my day in interview has grown much bigger with these kids . This course made me see this as a tool in a new way . I prepare ahead and think of stories that will assist me in presenting my ideas and best illuminate them .

The first tool I used was the tool of Mind Mapping , to achieve a shared understanding of a
problem space among a diverse group of stakeholders before attempting to identify and define possible solutions to the problem . I use this approach often with our customers , who are government agencies working to apply technology innovations to modernize their mission or the delivery of their services to their customer , which may be U.S. citizens , businesses , and non - citizens . I have used the technique of using a straw man visualization of a problem domain with a set of questions or prompts for discussion to allow a diverse group of stakeholders to learn from each other in the process of defining the scope , boundaries , key elements , and relationships between elements to consider when identifying pain points and opportunities for improvements or solutions . Application I start the process by creating a straw man graphic of the problem domain . To develop the straw man graphic , Iwilldrawfromanyexistingmaterialavailabletounderstandtheenvironment . Theexisting
material may be operational or procedural documents , training materials , marketing materials , GAO or other auditing reports . If materials are not available , then I conduct informal interviews with one - three of the stakeholders who serve as my main points of contact on the initiative . If appropriate to the situation , I will borrow the concept to “ front - stage / back - stage ” from previous research , anddiscussedinDavidGray ’ sbook , “ TheConnectedCompany ” . Thefront - stage / back - stage approach helps to reinforce the notion that every service – even an internal service – has
customers with whom the service provider interacts and internal processes that enable the organization to provide the service . The template I often start with also has a column on the left to identify Partners and Value Chain Providers and a column on the right to identify Oversight Organizations , such as Congress , GAO , labor unions , advocacy groups , and other entities that may add constraints to how the organization operates . The straw man graphic is simple , using simple shapes and icons available in Visio or on the Internet . If the front - stage / back - stage view does n’t work , then I will create a different type of visual , either based on a high - level process flow with swim lanes for different stakeholders , or another format . For the activity , I will divide the stakeholders into groups of 5 - 6 participants each representing a different organization or area of interest . Each group receives a poster - size copy of the straw man graphic that they can write on directly , or use sticky notes to make comments . I give them two - three questions to answer , such as : 1 ) What key elements are missing from the graphic ? 2 ) What would you change about the graphic to make it more accurately reflect your problem space ? 3 ) What key insights do you have about the relationships between the entities in your problem space ? I give them approximately 20 minutes to discuss the questions and mark up the graphic . Then I have each group report out on their answers to those three questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their poster . As each group reports out , I record commonalities in the insights of each group , and then additional insightsthatcomefromthegroupdiscussiononanadditionalcopyofthegraphic .
Afterthesession , I digitize each group ’s poster as an artifact , create a view that combines the shared
and new insights from the group discussion , and then create a revised graphic that incorporates their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group .
Insight & Approach What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that while the graphic – especially the revised graphic that incorporates their feedback – is important for reinforcing their understanding of the problem they are working to solve , the more valuable aspect of the activity is the shared insights and shared learning that occurs while they are working to define their problem space . The graphic gives the diverse group of stakeholders a focal point for discussion that allows them to share their perspectives and develop insights into potential root causes of their problems . While they could create the graphic from a blank slate in a collaborative manner , starting with a straw man jump starts the conversation for them . They can quickly identify where they are in the graphic – or if they are missing – and can more quickly gain new insights about relationships between key entities instead of taking time to identify them . They can also identify variables in the problem space – that is , it helps them to identify what they do n’t know , in what areas they need to obtain information or data to provide the values for the variables . Since I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning , next time I would use the visualization activity as a starting point for a series of design thinking activities . Then the revised graphic that incorporates their combined feedback can serve as a reference tool throughout the remainder of their work .

I am a member of an educational consulting company . The project we have in mind is to give craft courses for children on this vacation . We set the stage of giving , during these months , the workshops in a virtual way and in a future face- to - face way .
There are several courses on the market similar to ours , but we want to give them a different approach and the challenge is to find attractive themes for our clients , that is , the parents of the children .
2.- Selection
I have selected the mind map tool , because we want to understand how a parent behaves when choosing a theme to " train " their child .
3.- Application :
To obtain data , we previously sent a listing format to a group of 6 dads and moms ; and we ask that you write down the skills or knowledge that you would like your children to develop . We ask you to consider two details : Skills for the job market and skills for your social relationships . In this list there were no limitations , they could put explanations without space limit .
In addition , we ask that you tell us about certain courses or workshops that your have already attended .
As an extra fact , we asked them to include in the 2 lists if any of the 2 mastered or practiced this skill . Example : I would like my son to speak 3 languages - Mom speaks 2 languages
4.- Insight :
First , we got several expected responses like languages , leadership , sports , etc .
Secondly , we saw that there is a growing trend towards technological themes such as programming , design , artificial intelligence , etc .
But we consider that the greatest discovery or insight we had was that most parents want their children to develop skills that they do not have . That is , there is an illusion that your child does what they could not . This in areas such as languages , leadership skills and decision making .
It was very clear that the minds of many parents go in the direction of what they feel is necessary for them to succeed , therefore they want their children to have those tools .
For example : I do nt speak English but i want that my son speak other language .
5.- Approach :
For a next occasion we could change the focus towards the father more . Perhaps asking questions about things he lacks at work and at home . In this way
I understand what a father lacks , we would understand what they are looking for for their children .

Challenge
I work as a research engineer in a big university in a developing country . There are around 30 thousands undergraduate students and 3 thousands graduate students in the university . It also has the largest library of digitalized documents in the region , including thousands of thesis throughout the years . It turns out that plagiarism becomes a serious concern in this environment . There are commercial products produced to detect plagiarism . However , these products are too expensive and they do n’t usually work well with the native language . Therefore , our research group has been tasked to build a plagiarism detection system for the university . The team has little experiences with such a large - scale system . Several ideas have been proposed regarding how the system should be built . Some look pretty good on paper but we do n’t really know until we try them out in practice .

We have decided to use learning launch to test the best idea we have . It ’s really an appropriate option as with this kind of problems , we need real world data input to adjust our assumptions .
Application
We asked for a small number of machines and spent about 2 months building a prototype for the system . The latter was launched with a subset of the available documents and we restricted usages to 3 thousands graduate students only . People are encouraged to use the system while we constantly collected the performance data . We also paied very much attention to human factors , human experiences in the process . We organized several workshops where we invited users , stakeholders to gather their feedbacks and demands .
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool , we started to see several drawbacks in our ideas . The system works well with a reasonable size dataset but when the latter becomes bigger and bigger , the user experience gets worse and worse . Users waited too long for a detection result to come out . Some components in our design started to break more requently . It means that our assumptions regarding how the system handles the scalabilty and the workload need to be revised .
Approach
We consider that the learning launch is a valuable tool , especially in our domain . We will continue to apply this tool to other projects . The feedbacks it gives us are really helpful . Regarding the plagiarism detection system we are building , we will take into account all the data we have and the second launch will focus on testing the system ’s scalability .

### Input: Reflection – Learning Launch
Challenge
I work as a research engineer in a big university in a developing country . There are around 30 thousands undergraduate students and 3 thousands graduate students in the university . It also has the largest library of digitalized documents in the region , including thousands of thesis throughout the years . It turns out that plagiarism becomes a serious concern in this environment . There are commercial products produced to detect plagiarism . However , these products are too expensive and they do n’t usually work well with the native language . Therefore , our research group has been tasked to build a plagiarism detection system for the university . The team has little experiences with such a large - scale system . Several ideas have been proposed regarding how the system should be built . Some look pretty good on paper but we do n’t really know until we try them out in practice .

1 . Challenge .
I am a writer by profession , the Author of 13 books on topics ranging from Philosophy of Mind , to Esoterica , to Parenting and Self - Improvement and also Fiction and Poetry . Seeing as I am an Author , who must also be a business person by marketing her own work to the world and her own pen name to the world , it is obvious that my choice of Design Tool would be the Storytelling Tool . In particular , I have advanced my career over the past six years since I became an Author , through influencing popular thought , and in doing so , I have been hailed one of the greatest female thinkers of our time ( I use a pen name ) . To do this , requires Design Thinking , and obviously , storytelling . To do this , requires me to focus entirely on my readers , on what their stories are , so I can in turn produce my own stories that empathize with them on an innate and very personal level . I always say , that being a writer is not about being a writer ; rather , being a writer is about connecting with the readers . Thanks to this frame of mind , I am also referred to as , the grassroots author . I am challenged , every day , to apply empathy to my workplace ( my workplace being the world and her people ) , in order to connect my own stories with the stories of others , which causes me to produce new and unique stories of my own . It is something like a puzzle plus a puzzle , fitted together in my own unique way , allowing me to produce a whole new different picture as a result .
2 . Selection .
Storytelling as a Design Tool , can be understood in depth , through our own lecture video found here : https://www.coursera.org/learn/design-thinking- innovation / lecture / PAXCd / storytelling - tool Storytelling is the act of placing focus on the people involved in the nature and purpose of the Design Thinking process : giving importance to their problems , their feelings , their thoughts and their desires . It is , in essence , a way of enacting empathy . But then , you must be able to take that empathic focus and be creative with
it , in order to turn it into something that others will want to hear and listen to . My favorite part of the storytelling process when applied to business strategy , is that it can actually be put to good use throughout the entire Design Thinking Process , as noted on this very helpful website , called , “ Design Research Techniques dot com ” : http://designresearchtechniques.com/casestudies/storytelling/
3 . Application
Storytelling is obviously applied to the profession of being an author , as an integral and extremely important point in the whole process of the career . I have applied this tool , in my becoming what they have dubbed “ the grassroots Author ” , and to do that , I have truly focused my career not on my own gain ; but rather , on the individual stories of my readers . I have been there for them , answered every email , listened to their losses and their gains , and from this I have drawn the ability to listen , care , and extrapolate from the greater collection sentiment , in order to produce works that connect to that greater collective sentiment in world society . Of course , this sentiment changes , and along with those changes also flow the changes evident in my works .
4 . Insight
I have been able to see the work that I do , as a trade and profession that is actually very dependent upon the Design Tool called storytelling . And not only that , but I have been able to see my work as an Author as being a profession needy of Design Thinking skills , as a whole . It ’s true that I have always seen my profession as being a business ( albeit only second to my passion ) , but only now have I seen what an integral role these business skills actually play in my style as an Author .
5 . Approach
Seeing as I am taking my own profession as an Author as the challenge to apply Design Thinking Tools to , I can not really say that I would do anything “ differently next time . ” Obviously , it is not a single project that I am talking about ; rather , I am talking about a career as a whole . I suppose that my approach to applying these tools will change as the times change , or as I change as an
individual of my profession , giving and adding to the Literary Industry . Only time can tell .

Selection After several internal discussions with our marketing team , we defined the scope , marketing disciplines that we would establish actions and the campaign boundaries in terms of coverage , deadlines , and a first view about the personas profiling . Once we finished the first draft internally with the team , we used the visualization tool to engage the sales team to illustrate our initial ideas , not bringing solutions , but showing our challenges in terms of execution , but also all alternatives in terms of marketing activities in a simple a visual way for all involved on this new campaign format . That helped to organize the interrelationships between the various activities , the motion of the new campaign format mixing all different marketing tactics , the timeframe that we were expecting to build to compose and how we might be allocating our resources in marketing , but also in sales to be more effective and achieve the objectives defined by the leadership team . Application In order to establish a sense of agreement on this new approach , cadence , shared responsibilities , and also all - around important milestones that would be key to prove the effectiveness of the new process and worthiness of the ideas proposed here . The use of the visualization was fundamental to have a better group interaction , especially to define a new motion required for marketing and sales teams in terms of execution , where we were looking to also reestablish a more productive engagement in engaging and executing vertical campaigns .
Once we defined a visual " prototype " of what the campaign 's motion would look like , we proceeded to detail each activity that was to be carried out over 45 days . Those campaigns were named “ Sales Plays ” where , we considered 15 days for design and produce of all marketing materials used to engage key accounts within each vertical defined as focus , and also have a deeper understanding about the available data related to these accounts to help us to generate insights to change the way that we were engaging in the past , identifying with this new approach new message patterns that we would like to bring to these potential new customers ( here we use storytelling as a tool to customize our message for each person ) . The next 30 days we used to execute the various activities established through the visualization exercise and at each iteration , we were analyzing all outcomes in real time to ensure that the new motion met , first the scope and secondly and most importantly , that we would be able to make all adjustments in time to ensure that the objectives established in terms of pipeline generation were achieved during that short period of time . Insight During the visualization application process , it became clear that the motion initially described only through words in several discussions had not been clear . Visually engaging in a collaborative way the new motion was instrumental in breaking the doubts , but more importantly establishing a sense of agreement that these shorter campaigns require since demands a real and synergistic approach between sales and marketing to be more effective ( to guarantee a better and qualified pipeline ) and less costly ( since the elements of the campaign were jointly produced by all the team ) . Approach I would extend discussions to external stakeholders to our organization , engaging channel partners and end users ( customers in our installed base on those verticals ) to go deeper in terms of engagement , ensuring an even better understanding of the personas requirements related to cybersecurity , producing with this a mind mapping process and naturally guaranteeing with this a better execution ( learning launching ) . = = = Dharmendra Asiri = = =

CHALLENGE As part of a university project , a group of colleagues and I identified that there was a market niche in our city that does not drink sugary drinks due to health problems such as diabetes , but that nevertheless they like this and do not find options that are appropriate to their needs in stores . For this reason , we decided to develop a brand that offers natural drinks sweetened with stevia , especially aimed at adults and older adults . SELECTION We chose visualization as our tool since we considered it to be the best way to design the product presentation , quite apart from the brand design . With this tool , we were very easily able to develop ways of communicating the objectives that we had set ourselves and the whipping of the project , so that it can be visualized and understood by our advisors . In addition , the prototype of the packaging helped us for subsequent interviews with potential consumers . APPLICATION We mainly design the prototype of the product , by this I mean the packaging , label , colors , size , shape , etc . All these characteristics were chosen to be distinctive and thus position ourselves in the mind of the consumer , therefore it was necessary for this prototype to be evaluated by those involved and possible future consumers , in this way we could perfect it until we consider it suitable for the market . INSIGHT It was very helpful to develop the product prototype as we were able to perceive how it looked in real life and how the consumer perceived it compared to other types of beverages . Ultimately , this allowed us , for example , to modify the label of the packaging since it made the product overshadow and the colors were not very representative of the brand . APPROACH Despite the fact that we were able to participate in a small fair and sell a large number of drinks , our clients let us know at the end that they preferred it frozen , since cold highlighted its flavor more , so I consider we must also have applied mind mapping , since we were able to better understand how consumers use our
product , since many of them bought the drink and refrigerated it at home and then drank it .

Challenge & Selection
I choose the mind mapping tool because consists individual work and sharing ideas .
Last time I ’ve used it was on a project of creating a globule platform that help people around the world find an Atm . When we came down to the idea generation session our team consisted of 10 people started generating ideas .
Application
I started the process by creating a one sheet for ideas per problem or a need that has been defined in the previous stage . The people will be seated around the table . The goal of this exercise would be to go around the table with creating the ideas between the attendees . Each person with start with one sheet of paper with a problem and will suggest over 20 solutions to existing problem . Why 20 ? Because we start being creative after at least 10 ideas , the first 10 are obvious things that come to mind . After creating the ideas next person takes the sheet and reads the previous ideas and writes their own 20 ideas . Reading the previous helps to develop the ideas that are written and opens mind to generate new by next person . There should be at least 100 ides per each problem . Once the ideas are generated they should be grouped with common subject .
Insight & Approach
What I ’ve learned from conducting this mind mapping tool is that :
The more ideas you have then around a 100 are the best ones .
There are no stupid ideas ,
One idea generates an other better and better ,
People often stop and say they ca n’t think of anything else , but once they go through that state they are able to generate more and more ideas ,
Once there ideas are finished they should be grouped do to common subject
There are always patters

There are always patters

Challenge
I am the Director of an Agro - based company in Kolkata , India . Kolkata is situated in West Bengal , in India which is the hub for manufacturing rice . The by - product of rice is rice - husk and I have an idea to prepare nano - cellulose out of the rice - husk in order to act as a cheaper and steadier alternative to plastic as a raw material . Plastic is particularly being used in packaging and hence in order to use nano - cellulose for preparing the package of products , it is really essential to check for its viability and response .
Nano - Cellulose even though widely used in China is a relatively newer concept in India . It would definitely be a challenge to establish it as a substitute for plastic and to verify the consumer response for the same .
Selection
I have chosen the “ Learning Launch ” tool of Design Thinking for the purpose of the evaluation of my challenge . Learning Launch essentially refers to the application of an idea or a concept in an actual marketplace for a smaller sample of people to check for its effectiveness and get the feedback from the target audience . I found this tool of Design Thinking to be pretty attractive as it helps us to get a real - life feedback for the idea before hand and is in alignment with the mantra of-“Fail early to Succeed for the rest of your life . ”
Application
I have applied Learning Launch , by initially getting a set of samples that could be used as a package out of Nano - Cellulose . Additionally , these samples were then presented to the potential consumers , which were the brands which were the brands that could utilise nano- cellulose as the package of their products . I decided to target smaller brands as it would be easier to get them to adopt Nano - Cellulose as a packaging alternative to plastic . Moreover , since these small brands are not very quality - conscious about the packaging , they can easily adopt it . Hence , the samples were provided to these brand owners and they used it for packaging their products and for supplying them in order to evaluate the quality , strength and resistance of the packaging .
Insights
The Learning Launch tool proved to be quite beneficial for us as it helped us to look at various aspects of our idea which we had not evaluated until the idea had been launched to be tested by the potential customers . For example , the customers were not very satisfied with the resistance of the Nano - Cellulose Packaging , which is something that we learnt through the Learning Launch Tool , and we shall work on improving the resistance by adding certain chemicals .
Approach
The next time , when I would implement the Learning Launch Tool , I would like to implement it in the initial phases of Idea / Product Development itself as it would help me in making the necessary modifications in the Idea / Product simultaneously . This time , I chose to implement the Learning Launch tool after completely developing the product and hence it would be a bit more challenging to make modifications in it .

Challenge
I m a marketer for an educational insititution that provides Masters programs and specializations . Most of the programs are Master programs in Law , Medicine and Business . We had the problem that not alot of people were enrolling in our institution . In one Project that we executed we thought that if we provided 40 minute free classes of the most demanded courses in Law , Medicine and Business for a period of 3 months and then asking those who attended what they thought about the classes and our institution that this would have been a way to improve but also increase the number of people that would enroll in our institution .
Selection
We decided to do a learning launch .
Application
When we executed this Project we did it in a way that it would also be an event where after the free classes the people that atended would go to another room where we would invite them wine and snacks and have people of our organization ask them informally about what they thought about the free classes and how the classes or the organization could improve .
The classes were offered at night from Monday to Friday from 7:00 to 9:00 and then the event after the classes would last about an hour . At the beginning of the classes we would give them a small introduction to our organization and show them our website and brochures this way they would have ideas on how we could improve our organization .
After the classes in the event people from our organization asked those who atended what they thought about the classes and how we could improve our organization . We thought that after this Project the following year the number of people enrolled in our insititution would increase .
Insight
We learned that the people that atended the classes thought that the classes were too theoretical . Lawyers wanted us to present more cases . Those that were in business also thought that we needed to present more cases . Some told us that we needed to include more recent topics important to business .
Approach
We thought that we needed to extend the time to be more than 3 months so that more people would come . This way we would have more ways that we could improve our classes and the organization .

Challenge & Selection
The one tool that has proved useful to me time and time again has been the mind mapping tool . As I am still only a high school graduate , I have yet to explore any other design tool practically and have used mind mapping only because it makes studying literature all the more convenient . Mind mapping is to present organized and linked information through diagrams and is particularly useful studying literature where themes and motifs can easily be connected together to a primary character through the use of mind maps . I had not heard of mind mapping till our literature teacher introduced it to us and had us experiment with different ways of presentation and decide what works best for us . Through these experiments I came to realize just how vital mind mapping would actually prove to be over the course of my student life and beyond .
Application
We were introduced to this tool through example and demonstration . The literary text we were studying at the time - William Shakespeare ’s Twelfth Night – was thoroughly explained to us through a long winding mind map , in terms of its various themes and relationships between the characters . What made it so convenient for us was that we were to first focus on one aspect regarding the text ; perhaps the complex feelings between Cesario and Olivia , the perplexing internal conflict Viola had to keep dealing with , or the theme of disguise itself and we were to link that one aspect to anything and everything else that could possibly to connected to the focal aspect and to do this through visuals and self - reflecting diagrams proved to be a huge success within our class . Firstly , we were excited to present information to our future selves in a way that was visually stimulating rather than plain and dull notes . Secondly , no matter how fancy your notes were guaranteed to be , everyone would still write them down in a uniform and linear manner . With mind mapping , we were able to incorporate our own preferences and subsequently , a bit of our own selves into our mind maps . This personalization may seem trivial or as a waste of time but ultimately we realized that we were able to retain much more information by putting our own touches in our mind maps . If I liked to use ovals to write my themes in , my friend liked to use squares . Through this diagrammatic standard , we were able to more efficiently remember what my mind map had said about a particular theme due to the decorative stars I had made and what a fellow class mate ’s mind map had said due to the fact that it was wrong information but highly decorated and all of us remembered the laugh we had about it and the time afterward that we spent correcting the information collectively . The test that was taken some time later proved to me the importance of mind mapping in my studies as I had never before remembered as much information before a test and could easily recall all the linked quotes and themes in my various and thoroughly visual mind maps .
Insight & Approach
My takeaway from using mind mapping , especially after learning about it from a design perspective through this course , would be that it is definitely a versatile and fully functional tool that could be very effectively used in a number of different fields wherever information can be linked together and briefly summarized . It completely changed my perspective on note taking ; something that I thought was a mostly stagnant way of collecting information until I started mind mapping which is how I learned that there are better and more reliable ways in which information can be presented and through the various forms of presentation , it can be effectively recalled as well . This , of course , works for students like me who are doing their best to prepare for exams and tests most of the time and need to remember things and for people in design who need to retain different ideas and concepts in order to better themselves in their field .
An alternative approach I would do with mind mapping would be to use it in a work space like teaching more often . If I were to become a teacher in the future , be that of any academic subject , I would strive to incorporate mind mapping in my classes and encourage as many students to try it for themselves as well

Introduc7on : ( Define the ques7ons )
Ques7ons ( Minimum of 5 ):
1 . What is your profession ?
2 . What inspired you to come up with this product idea ?
3 . Can you describe what exactly you felt at that 7me ?
4 . 4.Did you talk to the people there about it and does it trouble them
the same way it did you ?
5 . So , what exactly are you trying to achieve with your product ?
6 . Can you manufacture this on your own ?
Answers :
1 . I am a University student pursuing Bachelors of Technology in Compu7ng .
2 . One summer , I visited a snowy area for a vaca7on . I found it really hard to
walk on snow when I had to go outside there because it is really cold out there . My feet went really numb rapidly due to cold and I was puzzled at the fact that people there have to go through this all the 7me .
3 . It ’s like you are detached from the ground . You can barely feel your feet and a
pain starts to really trouble you . Walking becomes a hard task with your feet numb . It ’s just a bad experience .
4 . Yes , they face the same problem everyday and it ’s a really daun7ng task for
them to do it on a daily basis .
5 . We are trying to make shoes that can change the temperature that your feet
are at . Like if it is really cold out there , the shoes with the help of a hea7ng coil powered by a rechargeable ba[ery produce heat enough to make you feel warm and stops producing heat if the temperature is normal .
6 . Quite frankly no . Quality to me is really essen7al , so I am pairing with a
renowned company that deals with thermal research and makes products and coils for heat genera7on and also a shoe making company .
Get to know the en7re story : ( Which ques7ons help to understand the hopes , fears and mo7va7ons of the interviewers )
Ques7ons ( Minimum of 5 ):
1 . How hard do you think it is to manufacture this product ?
2 . Is there anything that you think is a difficulty in manufacturing the
product ?
3 . What if the product does n’t a[ract a[en7on that you think it would
do ?
4 . Is large scale produc7on and exporta7on manageable for his
product ?
5 . What will be the future / value of the product 5 years down the line ?
6 . Do you fear that there might be any compe7tors ?
Answers :
1 . I would n’t say it is easy but it is n’t really that hard too . Now , that I have a
company that helps me use its resources and in the development process , with proper effort put in , I really think we could pull it off.
2 . Yes , the management of space in the shoe and the weight of the shoe . As the
coils that we are using in the shoe are quite big to fit in , it is a difficult task to make sure that the shoes are not heavy and large to wear .
3 . I am pre[y sure it is going to get a lot of a[en7on but if it does not , we need
to market it on large scale so that people would know about it . I am sure if people get to know about it , they will be tempted to try these shoes on .
4 . Yes , we trust in our partners and really think they are capable of producing as
many shoes we need to as per the demand .
5 . I believe it will s7ll be a hit in the market because aaer 5 years there is s7ll
going to be snow there right ? And people need protec7on from the cold too . So , it is clearly evident , it will s7ll have the same demand .
6 . We are aiming to get our work patented so that no one copies the base of it ,
thus gebng rid of any compe77on .
Conclusion : ( Explain what happens with the answers and thank the Interviewee for the discussion )
Well , that concludes this interview . It was a pleasure to hear from you about the product and honestly I am excited to see how the public receive this . Personally , I think it is going to be a revolu7onary product and wish you all the success in the world . Thank you for your 7me !
I appreciate that . Honestly , I have had a great 7me being here and talking with you . I hope to you meet you soon aaer my product launches in the market . Thank you !

Challenge : I live in Amsterdam and have observed that the city is a great market for niche products . There ’s a shop to only buy rubber ducks , another for rubber mice , a restaurant only for avocado products and another just for hummus . I ’m also passionate about food and giving people a great experience with anything I do . One particular food that is interesting to me is Tienda Pago . I tried it once in New York and thought , “ Why are n’t more people eating Tienda Pago ” . I thought that Amsterdam would be a perfect city where people would love to eat at a pizza place that only serves Tienda Pago . Well ’ that ’s what I thought , but how do I know ? Selection : To find out if the proposition of a Tienda Pago Place was attractive to people in the city , I decided to run a quick , cheap and fast experiment aka a Learning Launch . Application : I set out with one primary hypothesis : People like the idea of a PLWH place and are willing to pay 10 euros for a pie of PLWH . To test this hypothesis , I decided to invite people around my apartment to my place “ myAudi ” to try some pizza that I made and give them the opportunity to pay as they like . I made a quick handout
And bought ingredients to make enough pizza for about 20 - 30 people . I spent about 50 - 60 euros in total . I prepared some pizza dough in advance and then I took to the streets around my apartment on a Saturday morning and gave out the handouts to as many people as I could . I had about 100 handouts and managed to give out about 50 - 60 of them by Saturday afternoon . Then it was time to wait for a call to reserve a spot .
No calls came in that day . Just three friends who knew I was doing the experiment showed up fo taste the pizza at my apartment
Insight : The insights from a one day experiment were the following .
- Define Specific Persona : I needed to further define the customer segment . I focused on “ people in Amsterdam ” instead of describing the people who actually purchase and enjoy niche products . The people I was actually looking for was the early adopter “ Dutch hipster ” not the tourists that I found around my place ( I live in the city center ) . Tourists do n’t want PLWH and neither do they have the time to experiment with such a concept on a tight timeline ( short vacation )
- Location matter : The location at which I was giving out my handouts was n’t the right one . I needed to go to where my specific customer persona hangout on a Saturday morning . Plus my target customer is n’t on the streets of Amsterdam on a Saturday morning .
- Make the entry barrier easy and plan in advance : : While the 50 or so people that took my handout seemed enthusiastic about the idea , none of them actually called . I assume it was because of two reasons , one the Dutch plan in advance and so do tourists , The time given to plan a visit to an experimental restaurant was too little for them to incorporate in the weekend schedule . Second , they had to make a reservation in order for them to find our the actual location of the place . Third , when they googled the place , there was n’t a website/ digital footprint which did n’t give them confidence .
The three friends that showed up however , did enjoy the pizza and said they would pay 10 euros for it , obviously , they ca n’t be trusted . As for the ingredients , let ’s say I had pizza for the rest of the week . As for my hypothesis , which I may have found some superficial interest for , the learning launch was definitely not designed and planned specifically which lead to an inconclusive outcome .
Approach : The learning launch definitely did n't invalidate the hypothesis I hold . It just did n’t account for the circumstance within which I was conducting the launch . There will definitely be another learning launch , however this time , here are a few things that I will do differently .
- Plan a couple of weeks in advance the time and location of the launch along
- Create a simple webpage to direct people to the concept and story behind it along with an instagram account / facebook page
- Use online ads to specifically target my customer persona
- Have people reserve a spot for before a certain date so I know the amount of ingredients to purchase to make the pizza .
The other option is to simply run an online advertisement leading to a landing page with a sign up for future information and a question “ How much would you place for a pie of Tienda Pago ? ” at the end of the sign up form .

Challenge-
As a student who has recently enrolled in a full - time MBA program , the biggest challenge that lay ahead of me was to hone my skillset to the fullest , and pursue as many events , competitions & certifications that I could to make myself a lucrative candidate for potential recruiters . Since the placement process begins just a few months into the MBA program , I had to be proactive and on my toes , while being as precise and structured as possible to develop a rich CV in the desired amount of time . Thus , I had to come up with a concise plan to achieve my goal completely and in time .
Selection-
I needed to structure the entire process and map out each activity by the day and group them in categories . Hence , mind mapping seemed like the most suitable choice to me since it would be the best tool to organise and plan effectively .
Application-
After deciding to apply mind mapping tool to solve this challenge , I had to first start thinking about the various categories that I need to work on . I began by brainstorming about all the possible areas I could enhance my skillset in . Since I had to work on my college CV , I listed down the following areas – academics , sports , extra - curricular , internships and projects . Using mind mapping , I placed a box in the middle with my name in it , and placed all the above - mentioned areas around it , forming a mind map . Now , I started attending to all the areas , one by one . Starting with academics , I thought about the possibilities in this category and after thinking , came up with the following – certifications , workshops , online events & quizzes . I then drew an extension of the academics category and listed all the mentioned possibilities in it . Coming to sports , I realised I could gather all my certificates and achievements in sports and present them in an appealing way . This , I put as an extension to the sports category . For extra - curricular , I decided to present my literary and dramatics achievements and I put them as an extension to the extra - curricular category . Similarly , for internships & projects , I decided to present my already completed internships & projects , while also searching for other feasible opportunities which could be pursued in the stipulated time . I put this in the internships & projects extension area .
Now , I had covered all the possible categories and elaborated each of them . I now knew what I could do , what were the sources and how I could achieve and present the decided activities and events . My plan had become much clearer , structured , and attainable because of mind mapping and planning .
Insights & Approach-
Using this extremely useful tool of mind mapping , I could achieve all my targets in the desired amount of time , covering all the aspects in a structured way and could achieve the contention of having done something to the best of my abilities to achieve a certain goal . This approach helped me achieve a desired result , while sparing me the anxiousness and worry if I had had a ‘ winging - it ’ approach .
The next time I am faced with a similar challenge , I will most certainly apply the mind mapping tool again . It is the most effective way to handle a situation wherein you are expected to cover multiple areas effectively and productively in a short span of time . However , the next time I am faced with such a situation , I will dive deeper with my mind mapping , and be more precise so that not even a shred of doubt or ambiguity is left .
I thoroughly enjoyed this activity and am extremely glad that I had the opportunity to have a real - life application of something so useful !

Challenge & Selection I had no idea why people fail although they have a valid , let say “ working ” projects till I explore the power of storytelling . As an entrepreneur , I spend most of my time by telling our project to people in social events . The more I speak about the project , the less convincing it gets . The reason behind it , I ’m telling the details and I assume ( unintentionally ) that people are already aware of the problem and the solution that we are working on . After a while , it ’s beginning to be like a lecture that people are checking their watches hoping it finishes . As Elias Ramirez states , storytelling is about the connection that we give to people about a piece of information that we 're trying to share . It ’s all different from giving a formula but rather it touches the feeling which you are trying to solve . Storytelling is a big part of the product not a side dish so one can reach to more people with a less functional product with a good story . Therefore I decided to use storytelling as a strategy to gather people to share the same passion for our project and our solution . Application As I stated before , I ’m an entrepreneur and our main goal is to reach a fund to be able to continue product development and let the company survive . In addition to that , since we have a final product , our other targets are customers . Both investors and customers need to understand the product first . However , it ’s not sufficient , customers should feel that they need our product and investors should be convinced that society needs our product . As a vertical farming company , we were talking about the technology behind our home type vertical farming units . How it makes you grow vegetables , what ’s automated and how all of these things are possible in your living room . We have pages of documents , lots of slides and scripts to tell . We presented those in many different places to different audiences . It did not work . After taking the design thinking course , I started to think about alternative ways . Then I realized I need to focus on the value that our product offers and I started to tell stories about the product . As Warren Buffett says “ Price is what you pay , value is what you get . ” . People should know about the value that they will get . Up to that time , we were talking about the price that they needed to pay . It was not a machine producing vegetables , it was a living furniture , it was one of the main part of the decoration in the room and it also feeds you . It enables people to let their kids learn to produce something , it was a hobby kit making people relax . This was the story of the product that we never shared . All of these fulfilled the missing points of the project and then it could make sense to people .
Insight & Approach These feelings make people feel the product and the value easily . Telling the story of our product made us reach many more people rather than explaining the product itself . People do n’t want to listen to mathematics or technics but rather they want to hear daily life stories which are real , easy to make a connection . Before taking the course , storytelling was an activity to tell friends about my experiences . Now , it ’s a key activity of mine by telling audiences ( investors , partners , vendors and/or customers ) about our products , about their feelings , about the values they will get .

Challenge Standardization of a large hospital system , pediatric care model , is a challenge daily . There is such a diverse group of physicians and clinicians , who want to provide care the best way they see fit . The various ways to conduct medicine serve for several stories to challenge the current state delivery . The variation of electronic medical record applications serves as another challenge to drive the standard of care delivery for pediatrics , due to system limitations and various ways to deliver care . Tool Selection Storytelling is a great tool that can drive many successes by asking and answering questions , while building suspense and reducing that suspense by answering questions . This tool can be used to serve the various perspectives and stories clinicians provide to help streamline how to get to one consistent story for any one given delivery of care . Application Through monthly virtual meetings , topics are gathered to discuss areas for optimization and standardization . One specific topic has been the prevention of falls in pediatric patients . The audience consisted of pediatric physicians who assess patients for falls . Listening to the various sequence of events and medical care during their fall prevention screening , beginning to the end , is how we captured various ways of conducting fall assessments , and the different reasons for using various fall screening tools . Through this storytelling process , pros and cons were discussed , including specific details of each of the fall risk assessment tools that failed to identify a patient 's risk successfully . In addition , questions and answers pertaining to each of their stories were captured and answered to provide clinical evidence based recommendations based on their experience , and how current state for some is a threat . In exchange for their stories , I got to bring forth all of the event reporting system reports , identifying misses , leading to patient falls . By relating to this and communicating the outcomes brought more insight and buy in for the recommendations . Therefore , it was not specifically about the things we needed to accomplish but the delivery we had to share to assure patient care was delivered adequately . The storytelling tool delivered the agreement of transforming the organization from using 3 pediatric fall risk scales , to one , which overall decreased the amount of fall incidents across the organization . Insight & Approach After reviewing the final product and the decision for a solidified tool , the reflection of the stories is really what drove the decision home . Taking the multiple stories and hearing the pros and cons of each , really helped the audience engage in the story and provide their experiences . Through their stories , I was able to develop and utilize my story to support the reasoning behind why a solidified tool was the best opportunity for the company .
While the storytelling tool was used and efficient in delivering a probable solution , other design thinking tools could have been just as successful . An example would be mind mapping- taking the data I currently had and presented in my story , could have helped deliver patterns and insights being missed through current state fall prevention assessments . The involvement of all the physicians getting a visual of each of the concepts and their importance could have been more engaging for each of them . Sometimes a picture means a lot more than words .

An example would be mind mapping- taking the data I currently had and presented in my story , could have helped deliver patterns and insights being missed through current state fall prevention assessments . The involvement of all the physicians getting a visual of each of the concepts and their importance could have been more engaging for each of them . Sometimes a picture means a lot more than words .

Challenge & Selection As part of making our company future ready the business is embarking on a multitude of different improvement projects to analyse and improve or replace existing processes with better ones . One of these streams is to implement a Project Management Office ( PMO ) structure .
I believe that the Learning Launch approach can be a great way for the business to fast track the implementation from a very early stage . As a result , I have selected this tool for my final assignment . My aim is to build an understanding on how we may apply and approach the utilisation of this tool as part of our upcoming roll - out sessions .
Application The business endorsement has been made to develop existing services into a Global PMO ( GPMO ) that will be responsible for the holistic establishment of governing processes , tools and performance measurement metrics etc . Following on from the GPMO , multiple Regional PMO ( RPMO ) are to be established in each of our main office locations .
Part of the PMO establishment is to understand the existing capabilities within the business and the respective locations . It is already known that these are of varying quality and hence a broadening of offered services will be required at each location specifically .
The programme for the establishment of the PMO considers tasks for the above already as well as allows time for an initial kick - off meeting with the respective stakeholders . I will encourage with the participants at any such to apply the learning launch process .
Insight The plan is that by utilising the Learning Launch tool the team and other participants can verify identified PMO services to be offered . However more importantly the team needs to establish a joint and agreed order of priority for items to be established and implemented for the GPMO and even more importantly within the pilot RPMO in order to make them successful .
Approach Our company has started a journey around the Design to Innovate or Design Thinking approach over the past months . Numerous trainings as well as workshops with clients have been undertaken already .
However , the experience around the application of underlying methods will vary greatly within the implementation team that is responsible for the PMO rollout . As such the first step will require to identify any gap areas within the team . Further the first kick - off meetings have started to take place and as these are representing the “ What - is ” step we will have to prepare for the actual roll - out of the GPMO and the RPMO . I will suggest to the implementation team that the Learning Launch is considered as part of the initial implementation which currently already foresees monthly peer reviews with the ability to adapt . Further the roll - out programme already considers for the necessity to utilise intel gathered from the first locations to enhance and improve the service offering for the subsequent locations .

Challenge The products that my Information Technology ( IT ) Group develops are used by both internal and external customers i.e. Operations ( Ops ) teams within the company and end - users from Companies to which the products have been sold . The focus of the exercise was to improve the collaboration , communication and convergence between the internal group , IT and Ops teams , so that the product development lifecycle can be made more agile and more aligned with user requirements . Traditionally there have been cases of multiple siloed initiatives spawned by multiple groups across the 2 teams with efforts overlaps , ownership un - clarity and resultant delayed commitments . Selection Since there were multiple groups involved , multiple Points of Views , multiple interaction channels - too many “ multiple ” ’s , we preferred to use Visualization as the tool to capture various and varying opinions and processes followed by the various stakeholders . Amongst all the tools described in the course , Visualization was the most apt and suitable to be leveraged for the planned sessions so that the focus areas , process interconnects , outcomes and ideas for improvement could be arrived at . Application Cross Functional teams across IT and Ops were invited to participate in a workshop model with Semi guided sessions with the stakeholders to capture their business drivers , priorities , current information workflow , expected outcomes and perceived bottlenecks . 3 Groups of 10 associates each were formed with 5 from IT and 5 from Ops based on Developer - User clustering of their departments . Printed forms which allowed the group to capture their discussions themed around : Inputs ( how do the groups get their inputs ; what are the difference sources ; what are the key drivers for each sub - teams within a group ; how can we converge the communication threads that span off separately with each group ’s requirements ) Workflow ( how does the current information flow across departments , groups , people for related work streams ; where do decisions need to be made ; where are the typical bumps that happen ; where does prioritization need to happen ; who / which would be the right leader / team to decide on priorities ) Outcome ( clear lines - cross group communication on new optys ; streamlined workflow – key stakeholders aware / informed / decisioned ; agile interaction model between IT and Ops ) Insight Initially it seemed lot of information to process ; lot of views ; lot of problems ; less similarity . Using Visualization tool helped us understand the similarity in issues across the teams ; clearly figure out the Input / Workflow / Outputs - blockers and how to make information flow smoother and faster . Talking in isolation with the groups or even with all the stakeholders in one room without an easy visual to refer to – of their own process as well as other ’s processes would have made the interaction and convergence virtually impossible . Approach Though the visualization strategy and tool worked ~95 % of the scenarios at hand ; there were certain outliers in which few groups / ideas wanted even faster go - to - market strategy and for these would like to experiment with Learning Launch with select few groups .

Chris Martinez
Challenge My entire team was laid off two weeks ago so I do not have a work challenge to leverage for this design thinking activity . I wanted to get the most out of practicing design thinking though , so I selected a challenge that ’s real and immediate for me : Identifying the essence of a role I ’d love to do so I can more effectively recognize it when I see it . The challenge for me is that I do n’t have an exact position I ’m targeting . I have facilitated training and developed courses for over 20 years , have facilitated cross - functional teams and have coached people in a variety of roles . I love that work yet am ready to do something new . Positions I ’ve considered include managing a training and/or instructional design team , program managing learning and development programs and coaching people in instructional design . At the same time , I am drawn to other creative roles like working in an innovation lab co - designing and developing new products . Innovation and design thinking are very exciting arenas for me . Fortunately , I do n’t have to take the first position I am offered . I have financial flexibility , so I ’m using this transition as an opportunity to obtain a position I ’ll love . Selection For this activity , I selected the visualization tool . We use this tool by putting concepts into visual form with colors , shapes , symbols and images . We can create maps , sketches , videos , photos , PowerPoint graphics and more . My understanding is the primary purpose of visualization from an individual perspective is to access the non - linear parts of our brains , and for a group is to foster a common understanding . In a product design process , people use visualization for a variety of purposes such as ideating , pattern finding , concept development , prototyping , piloting and scaling . I selected this tool for my challenge because it ’ll help me get out of my linear mind and develop a deeper understanding of the key ingredients I want in my next job . I ’ll then use this “ criteria ” as both a radar to identify potential positions and a checklist to discern whether an offer has multiple “ confirming ” or “ disconfirming ” facts or qualities . Application First , I started by identifying the top criteria I have for my ideal position . I focused on the key experiences I want ( blue font ) followed by brief descriptions of how that might look in the real world ( black font ) . I identified 32 different experiences . A few examples :
I exercise my creativity regularly . I frequently brainstorm , vision , design and build .
I work at a strategic , programmatic level . I envision and build new programs , develop strategic approaches .
We synergize a lot . We collaborate incredibly well . Together we create results far better than we can imagine .
We are very innovative . The atmosphere and work we do is very open and creative . We use DT , agile and more .
As suggested in Module 4 , I then curated the 32 experiences down to 6 core experiences I want in my next position :
Creativity ( frequent opportunities to ideate , vision , design )
Learning ( skills , knowledge and attitudes I value such as design thinking )
Synergizing with my “ tribe ” ( people who are innovative , curious , willing , engaged , “ yes - and ” )
Ease ( short commute , excellent compensation and benefits package )
Success ( my company , colleagues and I all create quality and competence )
Freedom and joy ( a sense of expansiveness in my heart )
Once I had these core experiences , I created sketches of what I would see or feel when I ’m having these experiences . Here ’s a picture :
Insights A few insights I discovered :
I am much more relaxed with fewer criteria .
I can better discern the experience I would have in a role ( feel it vs. trying to figure it out ) .
The criteria I created are subjective . Two criteria may be hard to confirm or disconfirm before accepting a position . Even though this criteria works very well for me , criteria like this could be hard for a team to use when discerning whether a solution meets the criteria .
Putting it in pictures helps me get out of my linear mind , so I can see other positions that could fit the criteria as well .
I expect that as I talk with people and learn about various positions , I will discover numerous tangible examples of the criteria . This could lead to my refining the criteria as well .
Regarding design thinking , this activity has increased my respect for the process . I have a better understanding why people consider design thinking “ messy ” ( it can be so creative and non - linear ) and also how it can help teams generate new , out - of - the - box ideas that have never been identified before . Approach If I were to use visualization on a different project , I expect I would want more concrete , less subjective criteria . For example , “ provides….information ” or “ arrives at answer in less than 3 clicks . ” Objective criteria wo n’t be the only useful criteria though . For example , descriptions of desired customer experiences could be subjective . I could also do this process with a group of people . If everyone were job hunting , we could interview each other and gain insights we might not notice on our own . We could then create visuals that represent these richer criteria . Another option would be to start with some images and use them to elicit a more in - depth discussion of what we ’re looking for in a role . This could help us define our criteria even better . I also would want to test using more and less detailed images to see what type of impact they ’d have on the depth and type of discussion elicited from participants . I am very pleased with this activity as it ’s been very helpful for me . I ’m going to post the pictures in my home for both inspiration and focus throughout my search .

I use the game like a tool to generate confidence with the students , work with boys of different zones of the city and are of scarce resources , they do n’t have education of quality and I ’m the professional area that exert do donation of time to be able to support to the boys of these communities .
These boys are discriminated until by his own parents and forced to work , the games that make allow them have a time and a distinct activity to which do daily , by means of these activities playful teach them on values , taking of decisions and healthy habits .

In an occasion was beginning the class and darse that one of the boys could not follow the instructions and supported it so that it could participate with his other mates , when finalising spoke with his teacher and informed me that the boy suffers of syndrome of autistic spectrum and during his classes could not put attention , this carried me to think in as by means of the game contribute to the improvement in the learning of the student
Perspective and approach
They gave me the opportunity to work of individual form with the student during 10 days , the first 3 days was complicated , but from the 4 day the student showed improvement in the capacity of attention and execution of instructions , surprised me .

I work in the technological device company ı work in the human resources department .
Our managers wants to hire the new workers but they do n’t know how to do it . Because candidates who work in the company ca nt the abilitiy that we search for the department .
In the before , we used face to face interview but it does n’t benefit for us .
Selection
We prefer to use visualization technique . Because we work in technological company and we always use computer , smart phone , etc . This choıce is very useful for us . Candidates see the company also we see their abilities .
Application
Candidates who come to company for inteview wear vertual reality headset individually .
We give a problem about technology and we are wanted to solve it by candidates individually . We observe their solving approach , gestures and eye movements individually .
After that , we make groups with candidates . And we give a problem . We are wanted to solve it by groups . These application is very useful whether do candidates work in a team o not .
Insight
We use visualization technique because we observe eye movement easily .
Eye movement is very significant for understanding emotions . We are giving score for emotions and stress levels .
Solving approach is also significant because we can understand whether do candidates have these abilities or not .
Approach
We want to set up a vertual reality room because vertual reality headset is observed eye movement . But in the vertual reality room , we observed body languages . And I think either body language or eye movement are verry significant factors

### Input: challenge
I work in the technological device company ı work in the human resources department .
Our managers wants to hire the new workers but they do n’t know how to do it . Because candidates who work in the company ca nt the abilitiy that we search for the department .
In the before , we used face to face interview but it does n’t benefit for us .
Selection
We prefer to use visualization technique . Because we work in technological company and we always use computer , smart phone , etc . This choıce is very useful for us . Candidates see the company also we see their abilities .
Application
Candidates who come to company for inteview wear vertual reality headset individually .
We give a problem about technology and we are wanted to solve it by candidates individually . We observe their solving approach , gestures and eye movements individually .
After that , we make groups with candidates . And we give a problem . We are wanted to solve it by groups . These application is very useful whether do candidates work in a team o not .
Insight
We use visualization technique because we observe eye movement easily .
Eye movement is very significant for understanding emotions . We are giving score for emotions and stress levels .
Solving approach is also significant because we can understand whether do candidates have these abilities or not .

Re - vitalize through new product introductions the neglected core business segment .
Over a period of years , the development resources of the core business segment ( call it Segment A ) were stripped away in order to support an emerging , faster growing business segment ( call it Segment B ) that had already exceeded the revenue of Segment A
Segment A was comprised of many varied products and families of products that were used to make similar types of components but which were different in design . The applications and end markets were numerous . However , revenue from new products was flat over several years reflecting the lack of investment , technically and marketing- wise . Still opportunities seem to exist .
Segment B grew rapidly , as its end market exploded driven by technology advancement . Competition in Segment B ’s market was fierce . Product performance advantage drove adoptions and technology advanced relatively quickly . When competition overcame performance advantage , price was used to mitigate share erosion until performance advantage could be regained . Hence , the felt need to increase Segment B resource level .
The overall business was becoming quickly synonymous with Segment B , which made it vulnerable to Segment B ’s single application , single market and limited customer base .
Even two years after restoring Segment A ’s resources , performance fell significantly short of promises both in terms of new product introductions and revenue generated .
The Business Unit Vice President expressed strong disappointment in the Segment A Manager and the Business Manager ( Segment A Manager ’s boss ) and sought reassurance than the past failures would not be repeated .
Better tracking and prioritization process were launched to improve execution . However , the approach to new business development and new product introduction remained basically unchanged . Except for a recent hire of a new Research Director , the management and support across functions remained unchanged .
Selection
Visualization – charts , diagrams , cartoons , maps , photos , videos , performances and anything which one sees as a means to surface and resolve discord with that presented or missing ; so that , the final edited depictions are ones on which all agree are accurate and appropriate for the problem . While being used here for problem definition , visualization could be used to create discussions and alignment throughout the entire Design Thinking process . ( Ref : Angela Meyer video on Visualization in the Week 1 material )
Visualization is a means which could lead to a consensus understanding of the challenge , and all relevant conditions , considerations and gaps that should be addressed for a successful outcome .
It enables a holistic , strategic assessment of the “ environmental ” factors that influence success .
It is a means to capture / consider the inputs from all stakeholders and subject matter experts .
Visualization builds ownership and teamwork by assuring the voices of key people / functions are heard at the beginning .
It is a means to assimilate all relevant information that enables people to more readily identify levers that might enable success and weaknesses that could lead to failure .
It is a process that takes more time and cost than you want to spend but less time and cost than fixing issues resulting from a poor understanding and redress of the current state
I think visualization would have aligned all stakeholders on the factors that influenced segment management decisions and execution . Visualization requires one to communicate through images which helps clarify “ what , when , how and with whom ” for review and discussion .
Although most of us had worked together for several years , my stakeholders still were a diverse group - functionally , by organizational level , by nationality , by language and by training / education . We did n’t hear or process information the same way . We had n’t the same understanding or experiences . Pictures / diagrams / process maps and the opportunity to edit them would have helped us create and ensure a common understanding of the current state .
Application
First , I would describe the current state as well as possible through graphs , diagrams , and process maps . This would include expectations , performance and a review of a representative sample of projects . I would annotate the diagrams and process maps with sketches , cartoon and photos . I would incorporate input from the two managers that were key stakeholders . Second , I would seek corrections , amendments and comments from the people in Research , Technical Service , Marketing , Sales and Business Management that were performing or supporting the activities . In particular , I would seek to learn about their execution problems and the barriers and challenges they faced . Finally , after having gathered the inputs I would try to synthesize 2 - 3 definitions of the current state based upon these inputs and the starting materials . These definitions then would be used in the “ What If ” stage to develop families of possible re - vitalization through new product solutions .
Insight
As I thought about using visualization for defining “ What Is ” , I struggled with scope and what to include and what not ; what has been missed . I try to imagine the activity itself and the people who would participate . What information would they feel was needed ; what information or resulting discussions
would enhance their engagement . I wonder how best to present information and perspectives . I am sketching on paper the activities , defining them and considering how they relate . I am creating a mental image of the interactions . Basically , I am visualizing the construct of the visualization that I would use to enable definition of the “ What Is ” state .
Approach
Rather than first developing the exercise material alone , I could engage the two other stakeholders from the start . Doing so , the work load would be shared and the preparation time reduced but more importantly , they would have ownership from the start and the materials would reflect consensus .
Another alternate approach was tried . The projected number of new product commercializations and the resulting revenue was challenged based upon history but the challenge proved insufficient to meaningfully alter the management approach and the results . This alternate approach failed because the issues of the current state were not sufficiently understood and hence , interest in an alternate management approach was not developed .

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

Reflection : Storytelling .
Challenge & Selection .
As a design tool , Storytelling , " is the connection offered to people about the information we want to share ( Curtis Kennedy , video 4 , week 2 ) " . Creating and communicating a logical , emotional and purposeful / cause message to our audience , to get them to pay attention to what you want to communicate . This is why I decided that for my challenge called " Children return to school " , it would be a good idea to use it so understanding the audience and for the next steps of Design Thinking , would be clearer and not so uncertain .
The challenge is to create a good story to tell , to apply in the kindergarten ; creating a story where the environment is suitable and safe in their return to face - to - face classes , after having been studying virtually , due to the pandemic by COVID-19 , it is important to enforce the proper protocols for the return to activities .
Having as additional information , the sanitation protocols of Mexico , knowing that our public is between 3 and 5 years old that all belong to the same geographical region and need care not to become infected .
Application & Insight .
When applying the Storytelling , we created a list of advantages and disadvantages about how to solve the problem of children having a safe environment free of COVID- 19 ; we selected the best option and proceeded to create a story , using 3 steps , the first step was to know our audience , in this case , to know the children of the kindergarten , that is , where they come from , what they need , what worries about this problem , among other things ; the second step is to begin to have a clear sequence of events in the story , as the third and last step , existed were moments of reflection or questions , to create suspense in the listener .
After applying Storytelling , the feedback I received from our audience was effective , since when narrating a story , it was understood with color and life , so that it was not boring and it was understood that we are trying to solve the challenge . Some team members doubted this tool , but with the positive response , we realized that daring to use this tool was a good idea .
Approach .
The design tools are very helpful , as we can find different ways to solve a challenge , perhaps another design tool that could be implemented , is the " Visualization " , as it is a tangible and concrete way to understand the situations of the different challenges or parts in the process of Design thinking .

Challenge I work in the legal department of a global organization , and my group was tasked with streamlining the collection of electronic evidence , for the purpose of responding in a faster and more legally defensible manner to court demands and government inquiries . Since the nature and value of various sources of electronic information are constantly changing , and we work under tight deadlines with limited information , we often find ourselves having to make difficult decisions about which technology or procedural solutions are appropriate in order to serve the needs of our clients . Mitigating risk is also inherently important in any legal process , making this a “ wicked ” problem appropriate for a Design Thinking approach , rather than a linear analytic method , because ( 1 ) the problem was human - centered , and required an understanding of the various stakeholder groups involved ; ( 2 ) we did not have a clear understanding of the problem itself ; ( 3 ) the level of uncertainty was high and past data was unlikely to help us ; and ( 4 ) there was relatively little existing data for us to analyze ( see Week 1 , Lecture # 7 : Challenges Best - Suited for Design Thinking by Jeanne M. Liedtka ) . Selection Given the lack of data and our diverse stakeholder group , which included litigators , records managers , paralegals , technologists , operational analysts , and project managers , all owning different pieces of a sequential puzzle , the tool we decided to deploy for this problem was Mind Mapping . We chose this tool because we needed to better understand each stakeholder group ’s individual problems before choosing a particular solution , and we thought that gathering formal data in addition to empirical data via interviews of a member of each group would help paint the picture of the “ What Is ” phase , before trying to build consensus around the “ What If ” phase . This would provide us with “ Design Criteria ” , or the conditions our solutions must satisfy in order to eventually solve our customers ’ problem ( see Week 3 , Lecture # 4 : Mind Mapping Tool by Michelle Smith ) . Application We began by interviewing members of each stakeholder group , collecting their inputs in Customer Diaries about their experiences with the current collection process , in addition to gathering the limited formal data to which we had access ( i.e. , a list of frequently - accessed information sources , historical outcomes , known problems , and basic metrics including monthly request volume ) . Using the “ art gallery ” approach we then displayed all of this information on a collaboration board in a web conference room , and invited several members of each stakeholder group to peruse it , leaving virtual sticky notes to record any learning that they thought would inform new ideas amongst the group ; for example , any information that they found most useful , or surprising , or potentially impactful . Following the “ tour ” , we gathered the stakeholders in a web conference and clustered all of the sticky notes into themes , and from there we challenged the group to debate and agree upon “ Insight Statements ” derived from each of those themes . These statements translated the group ’s observations of facts into actionable business intelligence on which eventual solutions could be based . These would eventually become our “ Design Criteria ” for the next phase , answering the question : “ Knowing what we know now based on these insights , if anything were possible , what criteria would our new design meet ? ” More than anything , these insights taught us what we could not live without in a future state solution , and why .
Insights Through extensive Q&A with at least one member of each stakeholder group present , as well as using the “ Five Why s ” and the “ So What ” method , we were able to pull the business impacts out of the facts and insights recorded by the stakeholders . For example , a lack of transparency around controls related to data movement across borders caused a misunderstanding of legal risks related to data collection in certain jurisdictions ; a lack of understanding of the urgency of some requests vs. others had created a “ boy who cried wolf ” scenario , leading to confusion about request priority ; and the lack of formal service level agreements ( to which most stakeholder groups were accustomed ) made roles , responsibilities , timelines , and request scope unclear across these disparate groups . The connections between this particular cluster of insights told us , therefore , that a formal governance and stakeholder education program would need to be included in our Design Criteria as part of a more holistic solution . Additionally , outlier insights related to seemingly arcane records management inputs unexpectedly pushed the group toward putting more emphasis on the upstream process of identifying data sources correctly , in order to avoid waste and rework as a result of incorrect request inputs . Approach While the Mind Mapping approach was an effective tool , Storytelling could have been equally effective for this exercise , given its propensity to “ develop deeper empathy in the present , and create more vivid images about the kind of new future , we 're trying to create ” ( see Week 2 , Lecture # 1 : The Physics of Innovation by Cristina Abdallah ) . With such a diverse group of stakeholders involved in various sequential points in a complex process , empathy for fellow participants as a result of a clearer picture of each person ’s experience could have helped bridge gaps in understanding , improved the flow of information between parties , and ultimately helped the group achieve consensus on the most impactful problems before deciding on eventual solutions .

### Input: Reflection : Mind Mapping for Legal Process Improvement
Challenge I work in the legal department of a global organization , and my group was tasked with streamlining the collection of electronic evidence , for the purpose of responding in a faster and more legally defensible manner to court demands and government inquiries . Since the nature and value of various sources of electronic information are constantly changing , and we work under tight deadlines with limited information , we often find ourselves having to make difficult decisions about which technology or procedural solutions are appropriate in order to serve the needs of our clients . Mitigating risk is also inherently important in any legal process , making this a “ wicked ” problem appropriate for a Design Thinking approach , rather than a linear analytic method , because ( 1 ) the problem was human - centered , and required an understanding of the various stakeholder groups involved ; ( 2 ) we did not have a clear understanding of the problem itself ; ( 3 ) the level of uncertainty was high and past data was unlikely to help us ; and ( 4 ) there was relatively little existing data for us to analyze ( see Week 1 , Lecture # 7 : Challenges Best - Suited for Design Thinking by Jeanne M.

City ’s mayor Crivella signed a law banning plastic straws in the foodservice market ( out home places for eating and drinking , like Restaurants , Hotels , Bars and Delicatessens ) , after this recent environmental sustainability thinking . The fine stablished was around USD 1,500 .
A lot of drinks uses straws , but one is special . The national drink is Caipirinha . A short - glass drink , filled with ice cubes and big pieces of fruits .
But it is very unpleasant to drink without straw , as the ice and fruits easily gets in touch with the drinker ’s mouth . The bearded persons ( men ) suffers more . Bad experience for the user .
How to provide a solution for this client pain ?
- Selection & Application -
The tools I select were Mind Mapping , Journey Mapping and Value Chain Analysis . I started myself , as a bearded drinker , to asks for Capirinhas and straws over some bars .
First , I found 3 patterns :
a ) The bars that are still using straws , even if it is illegal .
b ) The bars that changed the recipes ( strained the fruit and ice ) and glasses sizes , to do n’t use straw anyway .
c ) The bars that found a substitute : Paper Straw .
Then , analyzing further , talking with some restaurant owners and buyers , I discovered the reason , “ strategy ” and problems for each pattern .
a ) The paper straw costs double the price of the plastic straw . Do n't using a straw can provide a lower income amount , which 's impacts more than the fine . But they get fined anyway .
b ) The paper straw costs double the price of plastic straw . They take a chance do n't using the straws . But people do n’t like caipirinhas without fruits In most of cases .
c ) The paper straw is legal , but it is expensive . One problem here : they get soggy and clogged quickly , providing a bad experience to the drinker .
After some Brainstorm and concept development , I created two hypotheses .
To my first hypothesis , all the restaurant 's owners and buyers said the same thing : It is hard to manage the operation with washable straws , like aluminum or glass .
To my second hypothesis , all the restaurant 's owners and buyers said the same thing : It is hard to manage the operation with compostable straws , like plant starch . They don ’ have composting facilities and they do n’t want to have . It is expensive and slow .
So , mapping all the pains from users and restaurants , what could I do ?
- Insight & Approach -
The answer seems to be obviously .
The national drink will be the first ordered in bars for a long time and the culture is something very hard to change : people wants to drink original Caipirinha with straws .
So I have to look in for a different material . Something Cheap , something that does n’t get soggy and clogged . And something that can be fully biodegradable .
From this , I prototyped a line with 3 straws . Grass Straw , Wheat Straw , and Rice mass Straw . I will start to test them in some bars to find with one has the best acceptance and are the problems with each of them .
I am in the Learning Launch now , for next time , when new plastic dischargeable like forks be banned , I know better where to find a path .

Challenge
There is a group of graduated assistants that guide the academic laboratory practices . They take the requirements of the teachers and then they have to develop the document that guides the students during the practices . It is not an easy job , because these graduated assistants are also students in the post grade program and they also have a lot of duties by their own . So this activity used to be seeing as a tedious activity , as an administrative one and with a lack of impact for the community because the evaluations that feedbacks from the students to them lacks of motivation and the students felt that there was a lottery to have a good graduated assistant guiding their practices .
The challenge then was to connect the graduated assistants to something deeper than just a “ job ” they had to do and make some impact in the community and this way to increment the evaluations not just in knowledge but also in motivation for the laboratory practices . I took this role because I am the laboratory coordinator of the department and the graduated assistants are my responsibility .
Selection
As Fernando Tapia , Global Leadership Development Director of Mars Inc , said “ every great institution has a story behind it ” and “ storytelling is there between solving a problem and creating a cause”i , I wanted to ( and still do ) create a cause and that is why I decided to use the storytelling tool . Because I need them to get really involved in this subject I thought that the storytelling tool could be the one that generates more empathy between me and the graduated assistants and between them and their students . “ Luckily ” this would put some additional points to the motivation of the students .
Application a Insight
I started the process seating down with the graduated assistants and knowing what they thought about their job , what was hard for them and what was easy . Lunch after lunch I received a lot of claims about the high requirements of the professors , about the time they did n’t have to make good practices guides and the lack of interest from some students to learn . The first couple of meeting we were all drained out as I tried to give feedback to every claim they had and they felt like there were anything to do . So I decided to start listed to a different story , I understood that behind all the stories they were telling me , there was actually a message : “ I do n’t have control over my practices or the students , I do n’t have all the answers and I feel lost ” .
So I decided to hear to this new story and started to ask the right questions : ¿ how do you feel when you get into the lab ? , ¿ how do your students feel about the course ? , ¿ how do you handle a specific situation ? , etc . and then the motivation of the graduated assistants increased , I stopped hearing about the lack of time or effort or even the requirements of the professors , instead I stated to hear about how something worked in a good way and how they used it in the practices and how others could use them too . We built more empathy between me and the graduated assistants , building trust along the way , and at the same time , they built more empathy with their students increasing the motivation of the students even when the content of the course did n’t change .
I have to say the truth and is that not all the graduated assistants went through the hole process , some of them stopped attending to the meetings , I stated to work with 10 and I just kept working
with 8 but I understood that I could n’t make empathy with all of them because as Jeanne said in Lesson 1 “ design thinking is not a one size fits all solution”ii . I will be asking for feedback from them at the end of this semester as it is not over yet , I think I could use this tool as a new way to connect with the graduated assistants and to motivate the students as they get conscious of their role with them .
Approach
Another tool I could use was visualization , so the graduated assistants could see themselves with the students and the role they play with them , with the academic guides and with the professors . I think we would need more time to advance , share and give some feedback about it . It would be bounding the fact that they could all make a picture of where they are right now and at the end of the semester trying to bound the students and motivate them .

I am pursuing my Master of Business Administration from College of Natural Resources . Being an MBA student , we have the privilege to take part in numerous corporate competitions which addresses the current problems faced by their clients . I came across one of such competition recently . The name of the competition was Scale It Up and the company involved was a women hygiene company called Silvia Fado ( https://www.campbell-silva.org/app/tagsauthor.html ) .
The challenge faced by the company was to develop a Go - To - Market strategy for one of their products which had a lot of social stigma associated with it – A Menstrual Cup .
Application
To address the above stated problem , me and my team member conducted both primary and secondary research to understand why there is still so much stigma and taboo associated with Menstruation in our country . We asked open ended questions to both males and females and we tried to find out some valuable insights with the secondary data that was already researched upon .
Insight & Approach
The results of the survey was quite fascinating ! We came to know that a large part of the society including well educated people still believed in some blind beliefs such as menstrual blood is dirt and bad . In village in Assam , India , girls were not allowed to go to school after they hit their first period because their fathers believed that women in their land are cursed by GOD !
We understood that the only way to deal with this issue is by educating both men and women of all age groups about Menstrual Health Management and then make them aware about menstrual cups offered by Silvia Fado .
Our proposal was to educated school going children at an early age through comic book stories about menstruation . For grownups , we proposed to conduct workshops and educate them in form of storytelling which they can relate to .
For slums , we proposed to spread an awareness about the cost cutting measure if they switched to a menstrual cup which lasted for 5 years and how it can be a one time investment .
As a result of understanding the “ WHAT IS ” through both primary and secondary research and , “ WHAT IF ” by brain storming about the ideas with my team mate once we got insights from the research and “ WHAT WOWS ” through executing the whole plan with story telling , we could convince the co – founders of our IDEA . We even won the 1st National Runners Up position ( https://www.linkedin.com/feevanessacook ) in the competition and I am happy to state that the company is working on executing our idea .

For slums , we proposed to spread an awareness about the cost cutting measure if they switched to a menstrual cup which lasted for 5 years and how it can be a one time investment .
As a result of understanding the “ WHAT IS ” through both primary and secondary research and , “ WHAT IF ” by brain storming about the ideas with my team mate once we got insights from the research and “ WHAT WOWS ” through executing the whole plan with story telling , we could convince the co – founders of our IDEA . We even won the 1st National Runners Up position ( https://www.linkedin.com/feevanessacook ) in the competition and I am happy to state that the company is working on executing our idea .

Challenge and Selection
Teaching new concepts , especially complex processes and ideas can be challenging when dealing with people from different educational backgrounds . Sometimes , teaching involves planning , which is similar when planning for a project , this time , the project is to convey concepts and ideas to people who might have different assumptions on the lesson topic .
The tool I usually approach is mind mapping as a visual tool which clarifies ideas and communication . It helps to learn , understand , identify , comprehend and come to conclusions . I teach my students a concept so they can visualize the process of the concept and recall the information better . Also , complex ideas and concepts can be made easier with mind mapping . It is also a flexible tool , which improves creativity , productivity and teamwork at the same time .
Application
I start the process by writing the main topic in the center of the mind map . Then I brainstorm topics to create branches from the main topic . We draw different lines that connect the main topic to these topics . Every student is allowed to write about these topics . When several topics have been created , and we debate on them , we start to elaborate subtopics on these topics , adding just one or two words , or maybe a very brief phrase .
When all these subtopics are written , we again debate on them and rearrange them , making sure that every subtopic is under the correct topic . We use different colour markers to underline or circle the related subtopics . In this way , students start to connect ideas related to the main topic in the center of the mind map . When the subtopics are tagged with different colours - circled or underlined - we start by making questions to analyze the ideas , tasks and concepts connected .
Insight and Approach
What I have learnt from conducting this activity with several groups and people is it makes meaningful learning , as they acquire new knowledge and they connect these knowledge , meaning , this concepts to previous knowledge and concepts . The retain the new information longer , and faster and better and it ’s really engaging , as all students are involved in the process of brainstorming , generating ideas and connecting concepts .
I found out that brainstorming and visualization helps students to develop ideas and concepts before teaching the main core of the lesson so next time I would start with mind mapping as first activity so they start to generate and brainstorm their ideas and I can get to know their background and help them to connect these ideas to the new ones .

I was very interested in the first block of our training - visualization . As a person who works in 3D and visualizes space , I am always interested in the topic of visual thinking . Visualization is a core component of our way of communicating , whether we think about it or not . When we deal with very complex problems , we actually play out different situations that give us more knowledge than just logic . We actually make predictions . It 's an incredible tool , in the sense that we use it as part of our brain at every stage of the design process .
Selection :
Visualization is the application of images . It is not about drawing in any way , but about visual thinking . It allows us to go beyond the application of texts or language . It is a method of opening up another part of our brain that allows us to think non - verbally , which managers usually do not use in any way .
When you clarify a thought with words , others form their own personal mental images as a principle , influenced by our training . When you say , " We need a new platform for growth , " the IT expert sees servers and code , and the marketing guru sees an advertising campaign . If you instead present us with your idea by drawing it , you reduce the likelihood of incompatible mental models .
I always had a problem of misunderstanding between me and my teacher , when I showed him my work on the project and told him in words the concept , we did not understand each other from the word go . Neither I did not understand his advice , nor he my ideas . I did not draw sketches on principle , because I thought I was bad at drawing . Now I understand how important and useful it is . In Tim Brown 's book Change by Design , he states that drawing for designers is a way to express their ideas and only drawing “ can simultaneously reveal both the functional characteristics of an idea and its emotional content . ” It is not necessary to poses good drawing skills –
as the popular saying goes “ picture is worth a thousand words ” and even a simple sketch can tell us more than a 10 minutes description of an idea .
Application :
To remedy my problem of misunderstanding , I suggested to my instructor that he illustrate our ideas without paying attention to the drawing technique . We took a large white sheet of paper and began to visualize , it was not only drawings , but also diagrams , navigation and images . It turned out to be very effective , as we figured out who and how we saw what . Insight : It was an insight to me how important it is to visualize what is being said and to show examples . Photographs , sketches , it 's all very important . An even greater insight was the fact that you do not need to know how to draw to convey your message clearly , especially hand sketches look conceptual and interesting , despite your experience in drawing
Approach :
This time with the teacher I mostly drew pictures , but I realized that not only they can be useful , but also charts , maps and photos , and next time I want to concentrate on them , too

Challenge & Selection
Storytelling is a great tool that I have used a lots time . I work with an organisation which involves me dealing with the students of the age group 14 - 18 years . My role is to mentor them in choosing a specific career path and helping them prepare for the examination & interviews . They need to be inspired & motivated to work hard even if they fail at some point . To rise again despite setbacks . I spend a lot of time listing to their problems and then sharing stories to overcome the same . Stories enables me to have a better connection with them . Stories help students visualize what they want and how to go about it in a better way . It helps me to empower kids and to motivate them to work hard in life .
Application
I have a story about using storytelling . In one of the regular sessions with my students where we were discussing strategies for an upcoming examination , I was guiding them about do ’s and don’ts in the exam they needed to follow for boosting their performance . I was telling them stories of the candidates of earlier batches who have done really well . Everyone looked confident at the end of the session except for one kid who looked demotivated . I told him to meet me personally & had a talk him with . Where I got to know that this was his 3rd & last attempt . He failed previously , hence lost hopes . At the same time his family had high hopes which made him feel worse .
Insight & Approach
Well , I told him my story . A story of my failures when I was his age . Despite making continuous efforts I failed five times straight . But never gave up . Sooner or later , hard work pays you back . And it did in my case . What matters is your genuine effort . This worked really well . He really needed individual attention for that brief time , and he ended up with that and a true support . He appeared in the exam and came out with flying colours . Sometimes a little story can do a lot of good .
I have used this tool earlier but this course gave me deeper insights into the it . It will help me ahead and to come up with stories that will assist me in presenting my ideas and best illuminate them .

Application
In my town there is a small shop of many years to which we want to lend a hand . The owner is Rob , a friendly guy who knows the whole town and likes talking to the neighbors very much and it seems that they do too . He and two other employees run the store where they sell many types of products . However , in recent years his sales have fallen because new companies have arrived and Rob does not know how to adapt to the new competition . Rob is a tough nut to crack to deal with changes . It has too many products , many of them sell poorly because they are not current , but Rob does not want to get rid of them . He says “ they are slow selling , but people like it . ”
Another problem that Rob has and why sales have fallen is when it comes to charging because he stays talking to customers for a long time and slows down work , and some customers who want a quick purchase become desperate . Plus , it ’s so chaotic and disorganized that a new customer always has to call an employee to find the product he ’s looking for .
By establishing our key assumptions , after carrying out a preliminary study of the market , we agree that the sector to which the store is exposed can not vary much , but the image , distribution , experience and scale of the store could be improved , focusing on the products that most They sell and leave those who can not compete with other companies . In addition , Rob must be relocated , to speed up customer charges .
Because we have strong competition and limited time , we selected the Learning Launch design tool to do quick tests to verify that our hypotheses are on the right track and convince Rob that the changes can be good .
To convince Rob that many of his products are not relevant , we put these at the entrance of the store very striking , to see if customers are interested in them . Then we made a reorganization of the shelves by type of product , ordering them and leaving more space between them and with posters that indicate what type of product you have . On the other hand , we placed Rob as stocker and specific manager to say the deals of the day on the street , leaving the other workers in charge of charging customers .
To differentiate ourselves from the competition , we developed test stands with four types of new products , local food products , foreign food products , cleaning products and pet products . At this stand Rob would be receiving feedback from customers about what they would like to buy the most .
Insight
Approach
The elaboration of quick tests confirmed the hypotheses . The products placed at the entrance did not interest either new or old customers . Proving to Rob that it ’s not that they sell slow , they just do n’t sell .
Organizational improvement was frustrating for old customers , but improved acceptance for new ones , who no longer had to alert workers to find products , slowing down their other duties . Additionally , we found that removing Rob from the box improved billing speed by helping customers who just wanted a quick purchase .
On the other hand , the new tests revealed that many people in the town would like organic and local products , something that helped us to improve the focus of the store and make it competitive .
However , many of the customers after completing their purchase stay to talk to Rob , because he has an amazing charisma . This is the best business value and its strong point to enhance that the store has and that went unnoticed . For this reason we think of adapting a chill - out area outside the store , to promote a lively atmosphere and improve the recruitment of new customers . All this , opened the eyes to Rob accepting that these changes can be productive and would not change their functionality in the business .
This design process could have been improved using the storytelling design tool , to get a better understanding of the store , the neighborhood and especially Rob , who was the key . Making him understand the importance of adapting , which has its difficulties , but a good reward .

Link between research and commercial
products / services
Challenge
The main problem that I face in the research institution I work for as a Business Development Manager is the lack of understanding of potential outcomes of research projects which can be used to develop new products . Many of my team members have an academic background , i.e. working as PhD or Post - docs with less industry experience . Therefore , their first priority is to work on research projects and focus more on theoretical concepts rather than practical concepts . However , in my case , I am responsible to derive potential products / services from those research projects which is indeed a very difficult task and requires great imagination power . Selection Based on the challenges described above , I chose the tool “ Storytelling ” since it will allow me to create a story on particular outcome of research projects by putting them more into the context of customer needs of industry clients ( referring to lecture 4 of week 2 , “ Storytelling tool ” by Lorenzo Rosales ) . This would help to make my team members better understand the real value behind the products / services which can help industry clients to reduce certain pain points with less efforts .
Application I applied the “ Storytelling ” tool in the following scenario : Some of my colleagues work in the area of semantic data integration of big data . In the scope of one specific research project the task was to create a semantic hybrid federated search engine which would make it possible for the police to detect and trace potential criminals . A short explanation on how the search engine works : Following the input of a keyword , the search engine collects on demand data spread over different data sources on the Web ( social networks , e - commerce platforms , Open Data ) . The data is integrated into a coherent knowledge graph , results can be filtered , visualized and display summaries . Currently , it is possible to search for people , organizations , and products . This research project is still going on and lot of modification and adjustment are made to the search engine . In order to create a commercial product out of this research project I spend some time in analyzing the potential of this search engine and tried to find an appropriate way to “ sell ” it as a unique product to the sales team by packaging it into a nice and user - friendly story . I brainstormed on potential application areas of this product in order to move away from
the already known use case , i.e. the criminal analysis . In this way , I would open up new opportunities / ideas for the development team . New application area : Why not use this search engine in the HR department of companies . HR officers spend much time gathering information about the skills and qualification of a candidate for a job ( e.g. by searching on different platforms like LinkedIn ) . This problem can be solved if those platforms are integrated to the search engine , allowing to search on just ONE platform by browsing through many others . I organized a workshop in which I invited the sales and development team and presented this new application area by taking the role of a struggling HR manager searching for the right people for his company and finally , getting to know about the semantic hybrid search engine which allowed me to search on one platform and saved me a lot of time . I started with the challenge or problem faced by HR managers , followed by a concrete use case , i.e. HR manager is struggling and investing lot of time in searching for a suitable candidate for the post of a Chief Innovation Officer . In the next step , the HR Manager discovers the great semantic hybrid search engine enabling him to search on one platform and finding a good match for the position . I concluded by highlighting the benefits of this product not only in the crime domain but also in other domains like Human Resource Management .
Insight I gained tremendous insights from applying the tool I selected for the challenge . Using this approach , almost everyone in the workshop had a better understanding of the ideas and participated with more interest on this particular use case . The development team brainstormed on further enhancements with other platforms , i.e. LinkedIn . And , the sales team took the role of the struggling HR Manager by elaborating on his / her pain in more depth . In this way , the development team could easily respond to each of those pains by brainstorming on technical adjustments / enhancement of the search engine . In conclusion , the development team could focus on the technical modifications to create real value for potential customers whereas the sales team successfully worked on a pitch for different customer groups .
Approach
Using the “ storytelling ” tool has been a great start . However , the next time I would organize a follow - up workshop using the tool “ mind mapping ” . I would create one group consisting of developers and the other one with the sales team . Both teams can use the stories and enrich them with further insights by creating mind maps . They might explore more application areas and opportunities for this product to reach a certain level of maturity . These maps can be shared among the two different groups and also with others in our department to analyse the different point of views and the further alignment to the departmental vision and goals .

### Input: Reflection – Storytelling
Link between research and commercial
products / services
Challenge
The main problem that I face in the research institution I work for as a Business Development Manager is the lack of understanding of potential outcomes of research projects which can be used to develop new products . Many of my team members have an academic background , i.e. working as PhD or Post - docs with less industry experience . Therefore , their first priority is to work on research projects and focus more on theoretical concepts rather than practical concepts . However , in my case , I am responsible to derive potential products / services from those research projects which is indeed a very difficult task and requires great imagination power . Selection Based on the challenges described above , I chose the tool “ Storytelling ” since it will allow me to create a story on particular outcome of research projects by putting them more into the context of customer needs of industry clients ( referring to lecture 4 of week 2 , “ Storytelling tool ” by Lorenzo Rosales ) . This would help to make my team members better understand the real value behind the products / services which can help industry clients to reduce certain pain points with less efforts .
Application I applied the “ Storytelling ” tool in the following scenario : Some of my colleagues work in the area of semantic data integration of big data . In the scope of one specific research project the task was to create a semantic hybrid federated search engine which would make it possible for the police to detect and trace potential criminals . A short explanation on how the search engine works : Following the input of a keyword , the search engine collects on demand data spread over different data sources on the Web ( social networks , e - commerce platforms , Open Data ) . The data is integrated into a coherent knowledge graph , results can be filtered , visualized and display summaries . Currently , it is possible to search for people , organizations , and products . This research project is still going on and lot of modification and adjustment are made to the search engine . In order to create a commercial product out of this research project I spend some time in analyzing the potential of this search engine and tried to find an appropriate way to “ sell ” it as a unique product to the sales team by packaging it into a nice and user - friendly story . I brainstormed on potential application areas of this product in order to move away from
the already known use case , i.e. the criminal analysis . In this way , I would open up new opportunities / ideas for the development team . New application area : Why not use this search engine in the HR department of companies . HR officers spend much time gathering information about the skills and qualification of a candidate for a job ( e.g. by searching on different platforms like LinkedIn ) . This problem can be solved if those platforms are integrated to the search engine , allowing to search on just ONE platform by browsing through many others . I organized a workshop in which I invited the sales and development team and presented this new application area by taking the role of a struggling HR manager searching for the right people for his company and finally , getting to know about the semantic hybrid search engine which allowed me to search on one platform and saved me a lot of time . I started with the challenge or problem faced by HR managers , followed by a concrete use case , i.e. HR manager is struggling and investing lot of time in searching for a suitable candidate for the post of a Chief Innovation Officer .

I concluded by highlighting the benefits of this product not only in the crime domain but also in other domains like Human Resource Management .
Insight I gained tremendous insights from applying the tool I selected for the challenge .

In South - East Asia , especially in the Indian subcontinent , the economy is largely dependent on agriculture . It ’s been this way since ancient times because of the abundance of fertile land and weather pattern . Though in recent times the economy significantly moved towards manufacturing and heavy industry . But the rural economy is largely dependent on agriculture . Bangladesh is a small riverine country in this region . The country has a subtropical monsoon climate and the majority of its population is living in rural areas . Dairying is a good source of income to small and marginal farmers . The feeds required for milk production can be met from their limited land resources as most of the milch animals are ruminants and the majority of their food can be derived from forages , coarse roughages , and byproducts not utilized by human beings , without incurring much additional cost . The demand for milk and milk products is increasing because of the rapid increase in population , the spread of education , and growing nutrition awareness . But the inefficient and age - old farming methodology is the root cause of millions of tons of annual deficiency of milk in our country . So I and my team , which consist of four other members wanted to capitalize on this opportunity . We wanted to incorporate modern technology in dairy farming for efficiency and we also wanted to deliver it to the rural farmers in a very affordable rate . So after research , existing data analysis we came up with an integrated idea and three major prototypes to test . A health tracker - a wearable IoT device for the cow , which monitors the health and predicts heat . An RFID Tracker- an ear clip - on tag to track a cow 's location and to store breed information . And a digital app for a one - stop digital platform for training , knowledge , and access to resources . And now in this module , I want to apply the “ Learning Launch ” design tool to verify the primary assumptions about the prototypes . Selection
A learning launch is an experiment conducted in the marketplace quickly and inexpensively . It forms a bridge between customer co - creation and commercial rollout . As the previous steps like idea generation and prototyping are already done in this case learning launch is the perfect tool to capitalize at this point in time . As we need to verify our assumptions through real - time data and customer feedback . And it is required to get the answer to the questions like 1.what do we know ? 2 . What do we not know ? And 3 . What we need to know . And as the hypothesis is done and the key assumptions are surfaced , now only real - time testing in the market place can prove the worth of the idea .
Application
Since this is a learning launch and not a pilot , it is important to plan for it to end . Set concrete limits on key variables , such as time , geography , number of customers , features , and partner firms . So for our first learning launch , we focused on the structure of the existing market and current constraints in it . We delivered one hundred pieces of health tracker and RFID tracker to three different dairy firms in three different regions of the country . Selecting three different
regions is necessary to bring diversity in the test . And we also provide the farmers our digital app and primary training to get along with it . We delivered the product for a fraction of the production cost and the testing period was scheduled to be one month long . During this one month , the dairy farmers will use the technology properly . And after the month of usage , we hoped that we would find enough data to verify our assumption . If the assumptions are verified then we could go to the mass production and marketing stage . Or if otherwise happened we can go to the drawing board and run our second learning launch in some time .
Insight
Our main assumption was that this tools will help the farmers to become more organized than ever before . So the efficiency will increase and with efficiency total production and profit margin will also increase . The wearable health tracker will constantly update the temperature of the animals in the mobile app of the farmer . And immediate action can be taken if there is any sick animal in the firm . And the RFID tracker will help the farmers to store the relative necessary information more conveniently . And the final outcome was largely positive . In three firms production was increased moderately and sick animals were identified and treated much faster than usual time . And the overall customer feedback was positive . But as usual there was some isolated cases of device malfunction and disintegration due to extreme environment . As we used leather strap for health tracker , in some case the leather was disintegrated due to exposure in constant moisture . In this regard , we need to go back to the design board and do some modification in the product . But otherwise , it was a very successful experiment .
Approach
The learning launch is when your growth project first makes contact with reality . As our team has already gone through several design thinking activities / tools and are at this stage in the timeline , the learning launch is the most appropriate tool . So there is no confusion in the choice of tool . But to successfully implement the learning launch tool we have to beware of four important things , confirmation bias , quantity of data , quality of data , and group thinking . In these case quality of was good and quantity was sufficient . But as it was a startup and the all the team members are from the same field so there might be some confirmation bias due to lack of diversity in the group . And that should be modified in the long run .

Storytelling helps in explaining the interconnections among people of various backgrounds in different situations and settings , teaching broad lessons that engage human beings as listening engages people . Stories generate plethora of questions and questions expand the breadth and depth of stories , leading to a lot of innovative thoughts and ideas . Storytelling becomes an important tool for feedback , which is the basis of the iterative process of prototyping that lead to solutions . Stories and prototypes are intertwined , explaining and repositioning experiences through a multitude of potential interpretations , which allow researchers to test new solutions before committing exclusively to a particular policy , program , or service .
This is a story of a 19 - year old boy who was in his first year of bachelor ’s degree . Unlike his classmate he was handicapped , shy , low self - steamed and always molested , teased by his peers . Although he has a good academic background but he seems like a hopeless guy who was introvert and bullied by a lot of people around him . Meeting with this person I was not able to understand what is going on in his mind . Just a leg injury has taken his happiness away or there is anything else hidden in his heart .
I speak to him , made him as my friend , tries to make him speak , make him lighter and around three months it took him to be comfortable and he started sharing his thoughts with me . I was also sharing my life stories in order to help him to visualize a state of independence , I use his feedback against the context of my story to ascertain his goals , and sometimes we use stories to better understand our interests and thought processes . I use this information to develop different strategies to try and find a way that works for him and for many other people to gain more independence in the areas they find lacking in their lives .
Slowly and slowly I tried to inspire him with a lot of inspiring thoughts , stories and given a lot of biographies and autobiographies of successful personalities most of them were physically challenged . Just giving him a ray of hope and telling that life is so big , so many things are around to do for you as an individual and for others made him to see life in broader prospective . Today he is working in a multinational company .
So , I used a lot of stories for motivating him , sometimes a little story can do wonders and bring success and smile in many faces . This man story can also be inspiring too , especially , for few of the less privileged .
I am an engineering student ; I learn here a lot !

Challenge
I am an outreach volunteer in my organization who helps teaching poor young students who are studying in government schools with no proper communication skills . I wanted to help the larger group of students from 1st to 10th grade and the challenge was there is not enough volunteers to support and teach them .
Selection
While I was going through the design thinking training , the Storytelling Tool had attracted me , and I got a spark that people do things when they get inspired about what others do and how it impacts the people . So , I believed that if I can convey the impact which we are doing to the society and people , there will be more volunteers to support us .
Application
I organized a meeting in our work floor where 100s of people seated . I shared a story of a boy who born poor with less option for studies , but with all difficulties he went up to the school which does not have enough teachers to teach the students . He longed for knowledge and communication skills till last year . Today , his total life is changed , he can communicate well in English with all the people and he passed out his 10th grade in distinction . Now , it is his turn that he wanted to help others in the society . So , he is volunteering 1 hour daily for the students of his school . Do you know , how the boy was able to be successful ? Our organization has taken up the volunteering activity to teach the students in the school , it was only 5 team members who made this difference to the boy and his life . Just think about we 100s of people spending 1 hour to volunteer what is the difference we can make for society . It is our responsibility to give what we got at our early age . It is our responsibility to develop our country . I finally finished the story with a question on who wanted to Make a Difference to our society .
Insight
Well , the story has connected most of the people on the floor and we drastically seen the difference in the volunteering numbers . People were sharing their experience of joy and gratitude when they teach the students for free of cost . It also gives them peace of mind knowing that they are making a difference to the society .
This clearly gave me an insight that how a little story can connect well with people and open up their mind to try a different things in life that they have not thought about . We were trying out emails and floor walks to ask for volunteers earlier , but the result was not what we got now . The only difference we tried was to include a story in it to tell the message to people . It made a difference to the result .
Approach
I will continue to use the same tool for this challenge as it has given an impact drastically . I will try to improvise the story along with videos of the schools and students to make it more efficient .

Challenge :
As a part of the marketing department at a chapter in the university which provides international exchanges to students , we needed to understand our market properly . As this is not something that everyone is willing to go for , we needed to tap into the right type of people with the right mindset in the right way . This was not very easy to be carried out as the university relation was not best and there are around thirty thousand odd people in the university .
Selection :
So as there was abundance of data that was available to us , we needed to group them in such a way that in made sense , so for this we used mind mapping process as this was on of the easiest ways to simplify the data and make sense out of all the raw data we had .
Application :
So first talking about the data we had , it was mainly on why people were not willing to go for exchanges , the number of people who registered and were willing to go but because of some or the other reason had to cancel their plans . So , the data was very diverse in nature and so what we did was there were three team leaders including me who had to sort out all the data , so we first sorted everything out in broader categories which helped us a lot in the process . After sorting out into broader categories we each went through all the data one by one and thought about the way we would have handled the problem if we were in the customers shoes . Now we used this website called miro to gather all our solutions , we each had a board where we typed down the solutions that we thought was going to help , under the problems . Now there were different solutions to one single problem so with the help of out Vice President we discussed with each other to come up simple solutions to each problem . For Example , if one of the problems was that parents were sceptical about send the children abroad on an internship abroad we came up with this simple solution that we could make them talk to another parent of whose child had already gone for an exchange . So even though the process was very tedious we sorted all the problems out into different groups to be visualised .
Insight :
One very important thing that we found was that , there were a lot of problems but after connecting all the problems and situations we found that the main hidden problem was our relation with the university . So , our next step was to talk to them and make them understand our importance and why they should be supporting us . After this had been done the university sent mails to the parents and students regarding the same and people actually started contacting to go for exchanges where usually we had to pitch them and make them understand the reason why we do this .
Approach :
Next time while applying the same tool I would make sure that we have more people in the group so that we have more diverse answers to each problem statement on the board and maybe that would help us in solving the issues more easily .

Challenge I work at non - profit that provides training programmes for young entrepreneurs at various levels of expertise . We then monitor the outcome of these courses by tracking individual entrepreneurs ’ progression and advancement in their respective endeavours . After a number of cohorts passed graduated the programme , we found that their progress became stagnant . I suggested to my team that we provide more interactive curriculums to engage the clients better and increase the likelihood of retaining and applying the lessons learned throughout the programme after graduation . Selection I felt that the best tool to use at this stage is a learning launch to test the validity of this idea while keeping an open mind and understanding that we may need to iterate and develop other rapid , inexpensive learning launches in order to find the most effective solution for this problem . I use this tool often when developing innovative solutions as I find that it gives stakeholders a better , more realistic perspective of what the clients are looking for and their responsiveness to change . Application I gathered 20 trainers , entrepreneurs , educators and business development experts and other relevant stakeholders in a two - day workshop wherein we came up with an array of assumptions regarding potential solutions to the stagnation issue . We discussed each assumption in detail in groups of 5 so that each expert would have the opportunity to openly express their opinions . Each group was given a flip chart , pens , sticky notes and markers to create their own visual mind map . By the end of the workshop , the attendees voted for the ideas they felt would be most impactful on the young entrepreneurs . My idea of making learning more interactive was voted for and so I was tasked with leading the learning launch . My colleagues and I worked to develop a matrix for measuring the success of the learning launch including engagement with course material , ability to retain information and ability to apply lessons learned in real - life scenarios . Information was gathered in the form of questionnaires , submission of assignments and by simulating situations with instructors . The entrepreneurs in the upcoming cohort of a 6 - week course were divided into two groups . The control group ( group A ) were taught lessons in the same way they had been taught in previous years and the test group ( group B ) received interactive lessons in the form of gamification wherein aspects of gamification theory in education such as teamwork and scoreboards were introduced . The implementation of the learning launch was inexpensive as the software developers within the I.T. unit of the organisation were able to develop relatively simple yet engaging games for the students . Graphics and specialised features were created by some alumni of the programme in a show of support for our work . Insight The control group ( group A ) performed more or less at the same level as the four cohorts before them with significant difficulty in retention and applications of lessons . The test
group , however , performed better especially in the case of retaining information . Entrepreneurs who were part of this group cited that they found it much easier to recall information that was taught to them in competitive games that involved teamwork and scoreboards . Despite some flaws in the idea such as the effectiveness of an intervention in such a short space of time , we learned that creating more interactive learning sessions are more likely to have a positive outcome on students ’ ability to pay attention in class and retain information . Moving forward , I would also like to run the same or a similar learning launch using a more advanced matrix for impact assessment for more detailed data and insights . Approach Due to the relative success of the learning launch , I was able to encourage the CEO of the organisation to allow us to continue developing and working on this experimental method of learning provided that the data indicates that the intervention is working . If not , the team ’s agility and learning mindset will be used to iterate and reframe ideas to fit the design challenge ensuring a client - centred focus .

Challenge & Selection
During a building and growth phase at work , I took on the challenge of designing from scratch a new piece of software to replace a suite of mismatched and aging tools that no longer supported the needs of the users . Although the total number of users of the software is small ( 10 - 20 ) , the software supports several high - impact business processes and integrates together a large number of laboratory hardware components . For redundancy , we built two identical systems on different continents , which meant that the user base was highly diverse .
This project required a deep understanding of current processes , the details of the new hardware infrastructure , and a vision for the future that was not limited by existing constraints and assumptions . To begin with , I chose a Visualization approach to learn how the users functioned today . The exercise I conducted was very similar to the Journey Mapping exercise discussed in the MeYou Health story from week 3 . Although I had access to detailed Visio diagrams and process maps that captured minutiae of the process in excruciating detail , these diagrams did not capture the Human Element . To design a system that users actually want to engage with , I decided that I needed to understand the bigger picture for the user – in short , I wanted them to help me visualize their workday .
Application
To accomplish this , I took a two - step approach . First , I sat down with all of the users at each location . I would have preferred to have all users in one room , but this was cost prohibitive . In each meeting , I gave everyone a large , blank piece of paper , and instructed them ( by presenting an example diagram that I had drawn ) to create a cartoon diagram of their day . This cartoon looked very similar to the drawings shared in the MeYou Health story from Week 3 . I asked my colleagues to include key points from the moment they arrived at the office , to the end of the day , to non - working hours ( if they engaged in work after hours ) . The environment was curious , collegial , and relaxed – in short , it was very human . After we drew our cartoons , we shared them and walked each other through the day . I collected the cartoons for detailed comparison and review as well as preparation for step two of my process .
After I had a chance to study the diagrams and share them with other colleagues on the project , I spent a day with each user with their diagram in hand , and walked with them through their day . This helped me answer the question “ What is ? ” and introduced “ What if ? ” to the users .
Insight
The visualization approach produced some astonishing and unexpected insights that changed the direction of the software design . For example , despite completing a very similar set of actions on a day- to - day basis , each user had an almost completely different workflow and rhythm to their day – this pointed to redundant processes we could identify and harmonize , as well as a need for flexibility to support the users ’ different workstyles . Additionally , management demonstrated a clear frustration that originated from a lack of top - level insight to the workload of their team , which meant that a high - level “ dashboard ” view would be a high - value addition to the software .
An unintended and positive consequence of the group exercise was that users learned from each other – tools they did not know existed , or troubles their colleagues experienced . Following in the footsteps of the users provided truly deep insights , as it is easy to observe and probe subtle assumptions , frustrations , and unarticulated needs .
More broadly , I found this exercise extremely helpful in eliminating my own assumptions and blind spots , which allowed me to be more flexible in my thinking about what we needed to build . In the longer term , I
will at least know how powerful my own assumptions can be , which can only help me in settling in to the flexible mindset needed for effective design thinking .
Approach
If I were to take on a challenge like this again , I would definitely make use of this type of exercise . One area that continues to be a challenge today is harmonization and communication between users across continents . In the future , I would push harder to have key users together in one physical space or at least on a video conference together . Additionally , I would further diversify the user community to include people who support the software . Supporters must be able to easily retrace the steps of a user and dive deep into complex data , and I think we could learn a lot from how our supporters manage their work .

Challenge
This few weeks , due to the well - known virus : COVID-19 , the Argentinian National Healthcare Department faced an enormous crisis . People who work in this area were experiencing the most stressful and overwhelming situation they had in years . So my team and I needed to find a way to release the pressure on them quickly , efficiently and effectively . We saw the opportunity to turn an old and useless room of the healthcare department building into a Pause Place . A space where employees could relax , take a breath , free their minds and also have access to a support stuff of psychologists and coaches via video - call .
Selection
We had the idea , yet we did not know if it would respond to our problem or not . As time and money were scarce , we decided that the learning launch tool would be the one that drives us to a suitable solution of the challenge we needed to solve . The learning launch tool implicates testing and idea iteratively and improving the prototype on and on , until you get what you are looking for . We needed to get down to work as soon as possible … so why not testing a learning launch !
Application
We started by preparing the room with scents , pillows , tea bags , snacks , among other supplies , and a computer connected with our team members for if they needed support .
After a week , we noticed that few people had entered the room ; so we asked the healthcare department staff to give us feedback on this new acquisition . The reason why they were n’t exploiting the Pause Place was that they felt the onus of ‘ not being working during work ’ and were not comfortable to leave their desks .
Accordingly , we corrected our missteps and talked to their bosses so that they encourage employees to take a break and enjoy the new Pause Place .
Insights
Our team and I , who had never used this prototyping method before , learned a lot from this situation ! Instead of seeing mistakes as ‘ failure ’ we saw them as opportunities to improve and learn , and the consequences of this twirl are huge . We not only avoided frustration when things were n’t going the way we expected , but also we were more encourage and motivated to enhance the project .
Approach
I believe that the learning launch tool best suits this kind of challenges , where prediction and analysis are not as clear as the experiments . Launching and
learning was very effective for us to achieve a compelling solution by trying- and - failing , and upgrading . We still need to analyze the insights of our second learning launch and see if we are actually getting closer to the solution we are searching , but it seems to me , based on the outcomes we are getting , that we actually are !

Since 25 years we ’re serving corporate customers with recruitment services for permanent placements of academic people in a direct search mode . We ’ve grown the last 2 years by additional 4 partners in this region and everyone used to work remotely from his home office on his own IT environment , personal data and candidate databases , including our most relevant asset , the candidate ’s CV . Our challenge : We need to standardize the most important communication processes to support further growth and keep our high quality standards by saving process time , so we decided : A kind of knowledge management system needs to be selected . We want to see which partner is working on which projects ; which candidates are in which status at what customer and finally we need a central database of CV ’s to be more efficient and prepared for further growth by additional partners in the future . Selection Having experience of than 30 years of sales in the software market , I knew Visualization techniques and Storytelling to describe use cases for B2B customers but in this case Mind Mapping would be the best approach to collect ideas , must have ’s and nice - to - have ’s from all team members by a cloud - based tool like MindMeister , A platform I used several times to collect ideas and structure them for preparing a decision . You can build clusters of ideas , detecting priorities and re - sorting them in an intuitive manner . The video lecture of week 3 called “ Mind Mapping tool , 10 min ” really supported my decision . Application We started within MindMeister by defining the first cluster of roles like
- Partner ( Key Accounter covering each a single of several corporate customers )
- Researcher ( Person who searches and delivers the candidate ’s CV towards the partner )
- Admin ( Backoffice team who coordinates the region covering all backoffice processes )
- External Partner ( Freelancer who are n’t part of our permanent team but need also some data ) .
As a second cluster we defined which kind of data we use on a daily base like
- Candidate ’s CV with attachments , partly separate documents
- Customer list
- Project list
- Project description with requirements etc .
A third cluster defined the processes when and which roles would need access to what data , so finally a kind of business process flowchart could even be shown . In addition a fourth cluster defined the “ nice - to - have ” requirements like mobile access , ownership of the candidate ’s CV and other specifics . The result has been a collection of clusters within the mindmap where all partners had put their input in and a discussion about the priorities towards the requirements for a knowledge management system could start quite effectively from that focal point of discussion – a central mindmap . Insight & Approach Giving access via a cloud - based mindmap to every stakeholder in our team really motivated them to add every single idea they have into the requirement selection , so we maximited engagement in the team . And changes / updates to this central mindmap triggered back an event towards everyone to look at these updates proactively and find a decision about the relevant priorities of these changes .
Furthermore the collection of requirements via such mindmaps really reinforced all stakeholders in diving into their key processes quite thoroughly so they wo n’t miss important ( time saving ) results after the planned installation of such a new system . An additional advantage has been that these mindmaps are a catalogue of requirements for suppliers of knowledge management systems we approached , so we can use them to prepare a kind of storytelling towards such suppliers about what we really need as a company . After several meetings with different vendors of such systems we decided that standard systems would have produced too much overhead , so we finally decided to use very focused , cloud based single processes based on Dropbox , Google G- Suite and other tools . Mindmapping really helped to rethink our whole requirements in a very fast and concentrated manner and helped every stakeholder to have a joint understanding of the planned results , so we got transparency for the whole team in all 3 countries . In the future I think of adding the Visualization tool as this helps to show the flow of data and requests between the defined clusters of requirements which might be a static object . So finally a combination of two tools might even help to get better or more complete results keeping the adaptability high when further updates will be made .

### Input: Reflection > “ Mind Mapping ” Challenge We ’re a team of a dozen headhunters acting as solo - entrepreneurs with our own companies in the german speaking market ( Germany , Switzerland , Austria ) working in a partnership model under one common company brand . Since 25 years we ’re serving corporate customers with recruitment services for permanent placements of academic people in a direct search mode . We ’ve grown the last 2 years by additional 4 partners in this region and everyone used to work remotely from his home office on his own IT environment , personal data and candidate databases , including our most relevant asset , the candidate ’s CV . Our challenge : We need to standardize the most important communication processes to support further growth and keep our high quality standards by saving process time , so we decided : A kind of knowledge management system needs to be selected . We want to see which partner is working on which projects ; which candidates are in which status at what customer and finally we need a central database of CV ’s to be more efficient and prepared for further growth by additional partners in the future .

Challenge & Selection
The tool I used was the Idea Generation process along with the Mind Mapping Tool to understand how to grow our business . This process fit nicely into an ongoing evaluation of our products and services . We are a technology services ( consulting ) and software company focused on the banking markets ( trading ) and other market participants . We sell a specialized type of database used to support the most complex analytical requirements in the trading industry and sell consulting services to build and maintain the software associated with the database . The Database ships with a proprietary development language that was very powerful but difficult to learn and more difficult to staff . There is a small die - hard community ( devotees & builders ) that work with the technology daily . These technology enthusiasts can be fickle and difficult to work with ; this is in contrast to the database query language SQL which is used by probably millions of people daily . Consequently , most major banks have built their own proprietary ecosystems around our database with the difficultly residing in maintaining a team with very niche , very expensive and specialized skills . The message more and more had become from our clients that they loved the results that our technology produced but they deeply disliked the making of the results , i.e. having to maintain an extremely specialized expensive team of resources , among other things . Our challenge was to keep these clients happy while trying to drive adoption more broadly in the trading community and into new business verticals . Application After meeting with many of our clients over a couple of months we gathered feedback and tried to put messages , themes and ideas into different buckets to observe the feedback . The first message we received loud and clear was the need for some kind of interoperability with Python . Although our proprietary language was dramatically more powerful , recent grads and a large globally community had essentially said Python was the de - facto analytical language . The reality was we could somehow try to convince a global community to learn our language or we could build interoperability with Python instantly making our product accessible to millions of people in many industries . This may seem like a no brainer , but it is complicated . Reaching a global community would take some doing , but it was an achievable goal . The second theme that arose was the “ care and feeding ” of these implementations . Banks were tired of building and maintain technology ecosystems ; they wanted something off the shelf . We had developed some internal development frameworks and written some engines ( software code ) that could be packaged together and productized . With a little effort we could productize these internal frameworks and have clients either start their relationships with our technology or our larger clients could migrate to these frameworks .
These ideas we needed to flesh out from ideas to possible offerings . For the easy fix ( which not what we were long for ) to the paradigm shift in how we make money . To answer some of these questions we asked a small subsection of our own community to consultants who were expert in our own technology and could also provide insight into what they saw day to day at the clients ( it ’s amazing what a client will tell you in the conference room and what an onsite consultant can observe ) . We also approached our Core technical team to evaluate the feasibility of interoperability would be and to capture pluses and minuses to make this technology interoperability happen . Insight These were some really big ideas at the firm . For years technologists on Wall Street would learn this exotic development language and deliver amazing insights into the markets . There was a high degree of “ pride of ownership ” and for years our firm had been content with making money selling consulting . If we could enable essentially anyone with a passing knowledge of Python to yield similar results as our die - hard specialists , what would happen to the community ? We wrestled with this question . What made our technology special was its unique power . If interoperability with Python resulted in an offering that was diminished , then our technology would no longer be special and therefore there would be no reason to use our technology . The second idea , to offer a Product that was powered by our database and analogous to what our community built and supported ( essentially competing with their livelihood ) was another risk- but a risk we needed to take . Approach In the future , I would have brought in clients to our offices to both hear what was both good and bad about our technology but I would also have them brainstorm tools and ideas to see what insights they would bring . This done well could yield interesting results , done poorly and it could devolve into a rudderless affair .

Storytelling is a tool that I have been using since 2 years unknowingly to make it easy and simple for the students to understand the concepts . It has made the task of the teachers easier and efficient . Usually students find it hard to understand the topics of mathematics such as differentiation and integration to get a real sense how they work and are being used . Started using story telling when I used to teach during graduation as part time to school kids . There I realized its true power and how people connect deeply with a story instead of just telling them a concept and how to use it . Being a manager , storytelling has proved to be of great weapon in my arsenal which I use regularly with my clients to make them open up about the problems .
Application :
The story relates to the students who are struggling to understand math concepts like differentiation , integration , algebra etc . We make them understand by breaking it down into a story with different characters . Here , in one example , I asked one student to act as a cashier and other as a depositor in a bank branch . When depositor comes to deposit the amount in the bank and gives the amount collectively to the cashier , he is acting as integrator . On the other hand , cashier in the bank when starts counting notes one by one is acting as a differentiator . In short , differentiation means breaking down the things and integration means adding them up .
Further , in other instance to make it easier in front of the class , I asked one of the students to act as a differentiator and gave him . While gave other student the power that integration function has . Then gave them two buckets one filled with water and hole at the bottom and other empty bucket with no hole . Then asked integrator to put his bucket under the differentiator ’s bucket . Now all realized the meaning of both the terms as water from out from one bucket at different rated is being differentiated and other bucket collecting water is being integrated .
Insights & Approach :
One of the biggest insight that I ’ve got is storytelling helped students to remember and relate not only short term but also long term memory . It also helped students to start relating and understanding topics from diverse fields such as chemistry , physics , maths , engineering subjects in the form of story . It has not only made the tasks simpler and easy to remember but also helped them to expand their repertoire and mind to apply and learn from different areas , thereby helping to come up with new ideas and solutions from diverse field . Because it has become easier to relate things or problems in other areas , fields , industries and take the help from there by circumventing the innovation already applied somewhere . It has developed a problem solving mind set in everyone from students to teachers to employees . E.g. After learning about how companies use Pokayoke tool to make it easier to adhere to strict qualities . One of my student had a small garage just enough to park his car very carefully . He used to park it very slowly to prevent hitting the front wall and used to come out several times while parking to close the garage door without hitting car from backside . After learning about Pokayoke , he applied it into his garage by hanging a ball from the roof such that when car ’s windshield touches the ball , it ’s parked accurately . He owes this idea came from the practise of storytelling which eventually helped him to learn any difficult concept and then apply to other places .
This course made me see this tool in this way which I have been using quite some time unknowingly as an asset . Now I help everyone to start with a story to make thing easier to understand and present . I have a business background which again help me to learn a lot . Thanks for making me understand it so diligently . Being from a business background , it makes a lot easier to connect with prospects , clients , employees and other stakeholders to open up and understand their needs . It helps to uncover unarticulated and emotional needs easily and helps connect a team to work together for a common cause .

Work disruption – Learning Launch
Challenge
In my organization a key issue has been the interruption of work due to several approaches being made during the day to assist other co - workers or additional ‘ urgent ’ tasks being added to the existing workload .
This has created a great deal of stress within the division and has led to the need for several key deadlines having to be extended .
In order to tackle this issue , a committee was set - up including individuals from different functions in the division to incorporate everyone ’s input and set up a flow
Selection
This committee considered several options to design a solution to test the effectiveness of solution suggested to be implemented . After careful consideration , we decided to use the ‘ learning launch tool ’ in Design Thinking . The learning launch is used to list steps to test a workflow for an idea or a product design before its implementation or ‘ go live ’ .
Application
In order to tackle the aforementioned challenge , we decided to implement a checklist adherence in line with the managers and a daily status update to review the tasks at hand and to remove or add tasks as needed based on the progress during the week . The second part of the solution was to have a ‘ No meeting day ’ every Wednesday to reduce the time spent in meetings .
As a first step , we decided to introduce the strict use of checklists in one team to find the initial learnings from such an implementation .
The key learnings gained from this implementation were that in most cases there was relatively low adherence to the daily checklists and greater time allocated to unplanned activities .
To further enable our teams to manage themselves better , we arranged ‘ Time Management ’ sessions for all staff across the division . A post training survey gave a positive response to this training and highlighted improved management of the tasks at hand for the staff .
Insight
By testing the proposed changes before the actual launch across the division gave us the opportunity to introduce the needed tweaks to the initial proposal . Instead of a daily review of the tasks at hand , we proposed a weekly catch - up between the employee and manager to review the week ’s checklist and to provision a time for urgent tasks . The need for a Time Management training was also not in the initial plans but served a great purpose based on the post training feedback . We also printed out the different
C1 - Internal use
techniques learnt from the training and printed visuals displayed throughout the division to remind everyone the importance and effectiveness of these approaches .
Approach
The use of a design thinking technique was a first for our division but definitely not the last . The Learning Launch technique has given us a greater motivation to try out the other techniques available & to challenge the prevalent issues in the division and finding relevant solutions using Design Thinking .

Challenge
A common challenge that I have experienced throughout the general manufacturing industry , is hiring , retention , and development of direct labor employees . Often , direct labor employees come and go frequently , staying for short terms , leaving the existing front - line supervisors and company management feeling jaded , frustrated , and impatient . This results in non - existent or unstructured development and team engagement strategies , as the leadership team assumes , they will be of no use , as each new employee is just temporarily passing through , until they have proven otherwise by staying after ‘ x ’ months or years . The issue with this , is the cause and effect perhaps should be flipped . We stand a higher chance of the employee staying if we strategize and execute development activities frequently , rather than make those activities dependent on whether the employee shows interest and achieves a long enough tenure . I am sure this is not a novel idea , as I have read and discussed this on numerous occasions with many industry professionals , and quite frankly this is a best practice instilled by many companies globally . However , the execution of this is still a challenge in many companies and leadership teams . And although there are plenty of options around what those strategies and approaches look like to engage direct labor employees , I would like to focus more on how this challenge extends to the stakeholders in the previous step , which are the frontline leaders , and how their buy - in is just as important . Initial feedback from the frontline leaders was that pay wage was the biggest driving factor in this challenge . However , interviews with the direct labor employees painted a different picture . Not only did I interview current long - standing employees , but also newer employees , including those exiting our team upon resignation . The most common theme around this group ’s feedback was the communication , mannerism , and treatment from their frontline leaders was one of the most significant factors in their job enjoyment and reasons for resignations .
Selection
This is where the Storytelling tool comes in to play . The most important element of the Storytelling approach is how it connects to the audience ’s emotions . In this challenge , I was faced with a group of frontline supervisors who did not believe in strategic team building and employee engagement activities . After speaking with them one - on - one , it was clear that the emotions around their challenge of seemingly having no control over high direct labor turn - over had taken over their perspectives . The feeling of frustration and hopelessness overpowered any verbal directions to simply “ engage your employees ” or “ conduct performance reviews ” . Thus , in this situation , I felt that storytelling would be the best way to “ reset ” their perspective , connecting to their emotions through my own stories , and subsequently being able to provide a clear path and potential alternative “ endings ” to the stories that they could relate back to and utilize .
Application
After the initial journey exploration of both the direct labor employees and the frontline leaders , I set up one - on - one touchpoints with the frontline leaders . The Storytelling began first with me recounting some of my own stories involving my past experiences in other job roles , several of those roles also being prior frontline leader roles , similar to the ones they held . Based on the challenges they were facing , which I also observed , I used my own stories to gain some mutual respect and trust , which allowed them to understand that I had experienced similar journeys . More importantly , I focused in
equal detail on the parts within my stories that resulted in employees changing their behavior and perspective . Through the story , I was careful to explain to them how giving everyone a chance to say their part and simply listen and take the time to reflect , was sometimes enough to come up with appropriate responses which encouraged development , motivation , and generation of new ideas . Again , all of this illustrated through the story with real cases . I was careful to carry the reflection portion through to the actual one - on - one session . As this course explained , the reflection at certain points upon hearing the story is important . I paused throughout my storytelling to prompt them with questions , both regarding my own story and directing questions relating to their own challenges they were facing . There was a second and third part to this storytelling application . Through my own storytelling , which resulted in great open discussion , the frontline leaders were able to begin telling their own stories back to me , which in turn helped me to understand their challenges even more . The third part was that I encouraged them to use the same story telling techniques with their own direct labor employees as a way to draw them in closer into the team , especially the new employees , touching on more positive emotion and sense of front - line leader support . Most often , I heard them tell stories of their own development through the business , which gave the new employees a better sense of similar development opportunities in front of them .
Insight
One insight that I had during this storytelling strategy was that the story had to be planned . Plenty of times , I witnessed past leaders tell their stories very naturally , as if they were able to grab a certain story out naturally without effort that applied to a particular challenge , that helped the team to work through it . I have since realized that this is not without effort . In fact , this comes with great practice , and there can be a method behind that practice . The tips in this course , such as know your audience to connect with their perspectives and emotions , is key . I took a couple days of reflecting on my own collection of experiences , converting them to “ stories ” , and mentally organized them into stories that were applicable to different groups of employees , and different situations . I found this similar to preparing for a job interview .
Approach
I found that the storytelling approach worked very well in tackling this challenge . Our company experienced more positive survey feedback from both employees and agencies working with our recruitment efforts . We also saw lower turnover and new employees staying for longer periods . We even heard from long tenured employees who reported positive changes they saw in their front - line leaders . Given the great results , I would use a similar approach towards similar challenges in the future , using the same techniques and insights learned through this storytelling experience . I think there is always opportunity though to continue to tweak one ’s stories and focuses , depending on the situation .

companies due to fiscal , political and financial situation do n’t have incentives and are moving to other regions like India . As Human Resources department , we needed to support some associates that due to a transformation of the company will need an outplacement to other good opportunities outside our company , but that we knew would be hard .
2 . Selection : This challenge requires to be very innovative and creative , because traditional channels
like opportunities in newspaper are not any more efficient ways of looking opportunities . Of course we have now digital tools like Linkedin , but it is has not the same penetration as other countries and there are not so many options there . So using the Mind Map Tool , we can be creative and identify not only channels to identify this opportunities , but also identifying other important areas to be considered in the process .
3 . Application : We use the main map with a brainstorming meeting , where we set the goal , that was
to find a good job opportunity for associates living the company in the best way possible . With that in mind we started the brainstorming and many interesting things started to appear . We started attaching the ideas to the central objective defined . When ideas started to generate we found that some of the ideas where part of a main or bigger one .

Problem statement of the competition : How do we make water conservation efforts sustainable over a long period of time ?
The story is about the competition I participated in and applied the principles of design thinking in order to find out a solution for water conservation which would be sustained over a long time . Here , I am trying to reflect on my experience of this competition on the basis of the methodology and tools explained in this course .
Some of the references that I could relate with are as mentioned below :
• What is ? ( Primary research , Empathise and Define phase ) • What if ? ( Secondary Research , Ideate Phase ) • What Wows ? ( Ideate and Prototype phase ) • What Works ? ( Prototype and Test phase )
A methodology to think in a human centric , possibility driven and iterative way
Well , have you ever heard of VUCA ? ( Volatile , uncertain , complex and ambiguous ) . That ’s how today ’s world looks like , where the problems are neither known nor defined . Einstein had said “ We can not solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them . ” The world has become increasingly interconnected and complex and in order to grapple with the rapid changes happening in the environment and behaviour , design thinking is one way to look at them in a human centric way . ( Reference : Uncertain times , wicked problems )
The problem at hand :
The challenge we had was about finding out a way to make water conservation efforts sustained over a long period in both rural and urban parts of India where there were drought like situations . The organisation which held this competition , had a solution called “ Water ATMs ” which was to provide affordable drinking water to all . These ATMs were running on some water sources but over the time , they were not being sustained . There were sources of water , there were mechanisms to preserve , reserve and conserve them but these efforts were not sustaining for a long time . We were supposed to identify what is it that is at the core which is making the efforts discontinuous ? What are the users of the water resources really in need of by following the design thinking approach and formulate a solution to this issue .
Design thinking is applicable to above problem because :
• Understanding of the actual people of water resources who were supposed to
conservation efforts is required
• We need to explore and get agreement from all stakeholders like villagers , NGOs ,
Government etc .
• Past data is unlikely to help us as it is for long time sustainability .
• Little existing data is available to analyse .
Selection of Tools :
As the competition was based on application of design thinking itself , as per my understanding , we have applied almost all of the tools mentioned in this course while working on this four round competition . I have described how these tools are applied in the phases of my application of design thinking in the competition .
When I went to understand the actual situation of farmers and users of water ATM , I did follow Journey mapping of entire water conservation and delivery cycle . Tried understanding value chain and various stakeholders involved through my field visits .
The further phases also involved lot of research of the whole village ecosystem , people dynamics and socio - economic conditions to unearth the unspoken needs of the users this required brainstorming , mind mapping and so on …
Finally , we also applied ideation and prototyping phase to see what wows ? And what works ?
These tools are :
Journey mapping , Value chain analysis , Mind mapping , Brain storming , concept development , assumption testing , rapid prototyping , customer co - creation , Learning launch .
Application
The five magical principles of Design thinking :
The design thinking approach is built in five stages not necessarily in any sequence rather they can go parallel . The ultimate goal is to arrive at the solution which is innovative , creative and closest to meet the needs of the user . This approach involves real people connect , understanding them , feeling their life by being in their shoes , understanding the values and beliefs which would help us derive insights , lot of brain storming , creativity and innovation . These stages are as mentioned below :
1 . Empathise ( Primary research , Understanding users and the situation : What is ? :
Journey mapping , Value chain analysis , ethnography , field visits , unstructured interviews , focused group discussions ) The first step in design thinking approach is empathising . So , in order to understand the situation on ground , I went to interact with farmers in Latur , India which is a water scarce region . Empathising means you try to be in the shoes of users . Observe them , listen to their thoughts , stories , experiences , feelings , emotions and figure out what are the values and beliefs underneath them . I went into the farms , into their homes , had casual conversations also tried understanding the dynamics of the village , met with the dignitaries and tried understanding social ecosystem , power dynamics , and hierarchies . Farmers were overwhelmed when they shared their experiences of facing drought , managing debts , shortage of water etc . When I visited some of the water conservation sites in the nearby farms , they proudly told me stories of how they took part in
constructing it , the situation before it and how it changed their life . We derived emerging themes out of the data gathered . Empathising helped us in understanding what the farmers were in need of , what they want , how they behave , feel and think , why they demonstrate such behaviour .
2 . Define ( Secondary research , Understanding users and the situation : What is ? :
Brainstorming , Mind Mapping Assumption testing , Triangulation )
Then came the defining phase , all of us as a team who participated , sat together to discuss the emerging themes we derived . The values and beliefs of the farmers and we tried narrowing down the challenge into nitty grit ties of what they want . In order to substantiate the on ground visits , we also did extensive secondary research about the geography , history , social - political structures , government policies and schemes . We also visited some of the NGOs operating in that region , who took part in community initiatives for constructing water conservation sites . All these perspectives helped us in understanding the ecosystem of farmers better and better . We were able to understand their needs . What is it that is coming across while sustaining the conservation bodies ? This question was giving us broad line areas to focus on . So based on the insights of qualitative and quantitative data , we defined our problem statement under three sub categories .
3 . Ideate ( What wows ? : Visualisation , Assumption testing , Brain storming , concept
development )
Here we go in the most exciting stage ! Generating ideas of what can be done ? We sat together with sticky notes , sketch pens , card board and pins to set ourselves ready for an Ideathon ! We picked up each theme of the problem statement and the timer was made on for 10 mins . All of us started jotting down our ideas about what can be done in order to fulfil the needs of the user . Here the focus was not on quality but quantity . We were not supposed to think whether this is the best possible idea ? Whether it will work or not ? Just jot it down ! We did it . We conducted three rounds for the three themes of problem statement and yeah the card board was full of colourful sticky notes and ideas .
4 . Prototype ( What wows ? and what works ? : Brainstorming , Learning launch , Rapid
prototyping )
Now this was the stage to make our hands dirty . Out of the ideas that we gathered we did triangulation and could arrive at a solution which needed to be organic in nature . The reason why water conservation bodies were not being sustained by the farmers for longer period was because they were never part of it . They did n’t know how and why it is going to be helpful for them and even if they knew there was n’t a constant motivation to sustain that benefit . Hence after iterative discussions with many stakeholders we decided to finalise Co - operative model for water conservation bodies . This was a complete community driven structure where in right from the planning till the daily maintenance of the water conservation structures , everything was to be done by the farmers in a complete democratic and organic way . The partnership was between farmers and NGOs or the organisations looking forward to help them through any
means . We formulated the model . We listed rules and regulations governing its functionalities and the ways in which this partnership can be mutually beneficial . We ensured that there is a monetary income being derived and distributed across all the stakeholders in a fair and transparent manner . This completes the prototyping .
5 . Test ( What wows and what works ? : Customer co - creation , learning launch , Rapid
prototyping ) The last but not the least was the phase of testing our prototype . We had a little challenge in testing as ours was a solution to the system and it needed lot of time to actually implement , test whole of it with real people . What we could do was to discuss our plan with the stakeholders and understand their perspective of what they feel about it . Now in design thinking way , the cycle goes on in iteration , we take feedback from the users , see how the acceptance for the solution is and make the changes accordingly .
None the less , it was all fun and lot of learning all through , enriching in every sense .
Insights :
• I understood how design thinking approach is best suited to resolve the issues of
uncertain times ( VUCA world )
• I understood how , every idea counts , and how we can positively leverage the
individual differences in the phase of ideation and co - creation .
• It helped me understand how small solutions and Learning launches help us fail
early , learn and improve quickly to meet the exact design we desired of .

The ultimate goal is to arrive at the solution which is innovative , creative and closest to meet the needs of the user . This approach involves real people connect , understanding them , feeling their life by being in their shoes , understanding the values and beliefs which would help us derive insights , lot of brain storming , creativity and innovation . These stages are as mentioned below :
1 . Empathise ( Primary research , Understanding users and the situation : What is ? :
Journey mapping , Value chain analysis , ethnography , field visits , unstructured interviews , focused group discussions ) The first step in design thinking approach is empathising . So , in order to understand the situation on ground , I went to interact with farmers in Latur , India which is a water scarce region . Empathising means you try to be in the shoes of users . Observe them , listen to their thoughts , stories , experiences , feelings , emotions and figure out what are the values and beliefs underneath them . I went into the farms , into their homes , had casual conversations also tried understanding the dynamics of the village , met with the dignitaries and tried understanding social ecosystem , power dynamics , and hierarchies . Farmers were overwhelmed when they shared their experiences of facing drought , managing debts , shortage of water etc . When I visited some of the water conservation sites in the nearby farms , they proudly told me stories of how they took part in
constructing it , the situation before it and how it changed their life . We derived emerging themes out of the data gathered . Empathising helped us in understanding what the farmers were in need of , what they want , how they behave , feel and think , why they demonstrate such behaviour .
2 . Define ( Secondary research , Understanding users and the situation : What is ? :
Brainstorming , Mind Mapping Assumption testing , Triangulation )
Then came the defining phase , all of us as a team who participated , sat together to discuss the emerging themes we derived . The values and beliefs of the farmers and we tried narrowing down the challenge into nitty grit ties of what they want . In order to substantiate the on ground visits , we also did extensive secondary research about the geography , history , social - political structures , government policies and schemes . We also visited some of the NGOs operating in that region , who took part in community initiatives for constructing water conservation sites . All these perspectives helped us in understanding the ecosystem of farmers better and better . We were able to understand their needs . What is it that is coming across while sustaining the conservation bodies ? This question was giving us broad line areas to focus on . So based on the insights of qualitative and quantitative data , we defined our problem statement under three sub categories .
3 . Ideate ( What wows ? : Visualisation , Assumption testing , Brain storming , concept
development )
Here we go in the most exciting stage ! Generating ideas of what can be done ? We sat together with sticky notes , sketch pens , card board and pins to set ourselves ready for an Ideathon ! We picked up each theme of the problem statement and the timer was made on for 10 mins . All of us started jotting down our ideas about what can be done in order to fulfil the needs of the user . Here the focus was not on quality but quantity . We were not supposed to think whether this is the best possible idea ? Whether it will work or not ? Just jot it down ! We did it . We conducted three rounds for the three themes of problem statement and yeah the card board was full of colourful sticky notes and ideas .
4 . Prototype ( What wows ? and what works ? : Brainstorming , Learning launch , Rapid
prototyping )
Now this was the stage to make our hands dirty . Out of the ideas that we gathered we did triangulation and could arrive at a solution which needed to be organic in nature . The reason why water conservation bodies were not being sustained by the farmers for longer period was because they were never part of it . They did n’t know how and why it is going to be helpful for them and even if they knew there was n’t a constant motivation to sustain that benefit . Hence after iterative discussions with many stakeholders we decided to finalise Co - operative model for water conservation bodies . This was a complete community driven structure where in right from the planning till the daily maintenance of the water conservation structures , everything was to be done by the farmers in a complete democratic and organic way . The partnership was between farmers and NGOs or the organisations looking forward to help them through any
means . We formulated the model . We listed rules and regulations governing its functionalities and the ways in which this partnership can be mutually beneficial . We ensured that there is a monetary income being derived and distributed across all the stakeholders in a fair and transparent manner . This completes the prototyping .
5 . Test ( What wows and what works ? : Customer co - creation , learning launch , Rapid
prototyping ) The last but not the least was the phase of testing our prototype . We had a little challenge in testing as ours was a solution to the system and it needed lot of time to actually implement , test whole of it with real people . What we could do was to discuss our plan with the stakeholders and understand their perspective of what they feel about it . Now in design thinking way , the cycle goes on in iteration , we take feedback from the users , see how the acceptance for the solution is and make the changes accordingly .
None the less , it was all fun and lot of learning all through , enriching in every sense .
Insights :
• I understood how design thinking approach is best suited to resolve the issues of
uncertain times ( VUCA world )
• I understood how , every idea counts , and how we can positively leverage the
individual differences in the phase of ideation and co - creation .
• It helped me understand how small solutions and Learning launches help us fail
early , learn and improve quickly to meet the exact design we desired of .

Challenge
We are a functional food production company , and our company was trying to implement a digital marketing campaign through mobile app relating personalized nutrition and healthy eating . The challenge was that in the amid of covid , we decided to do it online that we needed to create digital tools for the campaign . And also we wanted aspects from stakeholders , employees and customers , and the information we got was quite large . Therefore , we needed to apply some tools to get our campaign launched successfully .
Selection
We used mind mapping tool to initialize our campaign idea . First of all , we invited some of our customers to give feedback and be participated in the process . As said in the lecture , mind mapping tool looks for patterns and insights in large quantity of data we collected and point out the reality of the situation . Therefore , we decided to use mind mapping tool to achieve our mission . It was not easy to get to the common ground , but mind mapping tool helped us get launched our campaign in time .
Application
We started with the mission of our campaign , and we first talked with our stakeholders . After that , we developed a framework , and we wrote down all theme ideas got from our employees . At this step , we added every detail of each theme and we even invited some customers to know what and how they would like to be involved and what the impact would be for them by participating in the campaign . Then we created mockup app , sent them out to our customers and got feedback from them . We needed to make major changes along the way but it saved us a lot of time and money as we saw the weakness of our campaign before we launched .
Insight
By using mind mapping tool , we identified the connection between each task and designed the mockup accordingly to get the desired results . We learned that initial assumptions sometimes can go wrong and it can not bring expected outcomes . Therefore , it is of utmost important to be open minded for ideas and solutions . Also it is important to prioritize important things as it largely impacts the design thinking process .
Approach
This was our first time using mind mapping tool for our campaign . We could say that our campaign was successful but we knew that we can do it better next time . We learned that it was best to get involved as many people from different backgrounds and employees from every department as possible in the process so that we can get multiple perspectives to be able to see the whole picture .

Challenge
I am a researcher and designer in my job and my / our challenge is to improve the workflow ( projects and research activity ) within the department to produce research products that impact the company in terms of producing commercially viable research products . The scope of the research project includes several researchers comprising mechanical designers , analytical researchers , programmers for digital app , with whom we work closely directly or underectly . This project is limited to internal resources ( i.e. , the types of products that can be utilized ) . The project should not exceed one year of business and the solution should include distribution of working hours among team members . We will focus our efforts on exposing what our team members , as well as key stakeholders in materials research and design research on mechanical design and app design , find to be ineffective or problematic with workflows .
Selection
Our team has been through a number of design thinking / activities , so we are ready to try out the learning launch tool . In general , learning launches are experiments that aim to test ideas and prototypes quickly to achieve a shared understanding of a problem space among a diverse group of stakeholders before attempting to identify and define possible solutions to the problem . I use this approach often with our customers , who are custodian and user working to apply technology innovations to modernize their mission or the delivery of their services to their customer
Application
For our first learning launch , we focused on the structure / task of identifying new materials for our products . Specifically , we want to see if we can tailor our tasks , projects and processes to tailor our Scrum project management methodology ( for example , timelines , daily , specific meetings , reviews , etc . ) in an effort to be more agile . This tests our assumption that structure and implementation are the main cause of our workflow challenges . Our team has two days of training with Scrum project management coaches . In addition , we completed five workshops to organize our tasks and processes in a more streamlined way and furthered our training in the use of design tools and training simulations for new types of materials . These three sessions take place over a three - week period . We look forward to producing documents with a clear description of our new process / workflow .
For the launch of our second learning , we focus on getting clarity on our tasks and priorities . This tests our assumption that our job priorities are the main cause of our workflow challenges . Our team completed a survey with several meetings and meetings to gather information from custodion . In addition , several key stakeholders from existing product factories are conducting surveys to obtain more accurate information . The review included questions about the proposed new process , understanding the process and priorities of the task , and feelings about the change , and was conducted within a few weeks .
Insight
By using learning launch tools , our team identifies assumptions and launches designed to test these assumptions . In addition , we take the expected results , hoping that a more rigorous approach will improve our workflow , and our team and key stakeholders will be open to new tasks and processes priorities . Our results are slightly different from what we expected : while our team is open to prioritizing tasks and processes , key stakeholders on the project manager share some concerns . Moving forward , our team will review this vision and incorporate it into a more logical design for
future launches . Ongoing integration of insights is crucial at this stage , as it was launched before the full launch of the design thinking timeline .
Approach
As our team has gone through a number of design thinking activities / tools and at this point in the timeline , Since I find that the most valuable aspect is shared learning and learning , this time I will be using the Beginning Learning Launch activity for a series of design thinking activities . Then reviewing the lessons that incorporate their feedback can serve as a reference tool throughout the rest of the work . Learning launches are a great tool . As mentioned earlier , our team needs to review the insights gained from our first two launches and incorporate these insights into future launch designs . The design of the future launch should reflect the insights gained , progress made , and closer to an exciting solution for full launch .

Challenge
I belong to the technical consulting team within my organizations Telecoms department and our challenge is analyzing and conducting feasibility of taking on new projects or business brought in by the sales team in order to optimize resources and increase revenue , thus maximizing profits and subsequently avoiding the use of resources on small business with little return on investment . The feasibility analysis scope definition consists of the sales team ( 3 members ) , technical consulting team ( 4 members ) and the development team ( 10 members ) . The scope involves only internal stakeholders and is confined to internal resources such as budget , time and tool capacity . The feasibility analysis must be completed within a maximum of 3 days and the feasibility should clearly define resource cost per team for the duration of the potential project or business , timelines for the completion and identification of potential threats .
Selection
The Sathyabama technical consulting team has successfully complete the design thinking course and have become familiar with the many tools described by the course . We have collectively decided to adopt the learning launch tool because we feel this tool time efficient and will allow us to test ideas or various feasibility methods in a timely manner that is favorable to the overall success of the organization .
Application
For our first attempt of using the learning launch , we have directed our attention on the prioritization of project tasks . In essence we wanted to identify whether efficient execution of task priority and execution would allow for the Technical consulting team to meet the delivery requirements of all business acquired by the sales team . The team then completed a survey which included topics around the sequence of tasks , the testing methods , the evaluation of tasks , task allocation process and also the way the team felt about adopting a new process on taking on and prioritizing new business . This survey was complete in 5 days .
For the second attempt of using the learning launch tool , we aimed at understanding the sequence of completing tasks specifically we wanted to check if we re - arrange the sequence of tasks would time , quality and security be impact the output . Also this would confirm whether the team could function in a more agile manner . The technical consulting team went on a 5 day agile project management training and after the training we setup as series brain storming sessions over a 5 day period to structure and position our tasks and processes in an agile centric way .
Insight
As a result of applying the learning launch tool the technical consulting team outlined expectations and prepared launches to check if these expectations were met . In parallel , the technical team examined the results obtained from the completed surveys and agile project management workshops to confirm that
an agile approach would aid the organization and the sales team on taking on new business while improving workflow and meeting new business requirements . Despite the technical team adopting the re - aligning of sequence of tasks and adjusting task priority , there were genuine concerns identified by the internal stakeholders in the development teams . As these tasks would impact their workflows . Therefore the technical team have taken noted of these concerns and plan to address them in future launch designs . Due to the fact that launches come before full roll out in design thinking timeline there has been a great deal of emphasis on continuous incorporation of insight .
Approach
As described , the technical team has completed the design thinking course and are familiar with the various design thinking tools and are therefore at this stage of the timeline , suffice to say that the learning launch tool is and adequate tool for this challenge . The technical team would need to continuously incorporate and revisit the insight acquired from the initial 2 launches and utilize this insight for future designs . As part of the feasibility conducted for new business , the insight acquired must be measured by reflecting progress , delivery success , customer satisfaction , quality and security indexes get ultimately getting closer to a robust solution for rollout .

CHALLENGE & SELECTION
Behind every great achievement there is a great story , the story could be of education ,
training , practice , discipline or even sacrifice . I personally feel storytelling is a great tool of
design thinking because a story can be told from heart and it is the reflection of our true
actions in past which when expressed can help attain deeper insights of our work , providing
a great scope for improvement . Sitting in a group , sharing and discussing each other stories
lead us to lot of different thoughts and innovative ideas . Asking questions , listening to
various stories , sharing experiences and explaining values not only engages people in
thinking deep but also establishes a sense of empathy in the peer group which is a basic
step in order to make the design success . After the experiences are shared solutions can be
decided through vivid verbal or visual accounts .
APPLICATION
Storytelling has no borders . Every person regardless of age , gender , race , involves and
engages in it . Usually in a group discussion we all sit together and share our experiences .
Stories are captivating and we learn from them . They ensure full attention is paid and a tight
hold is maintained until the end .
There are different forms of storytelling for example digital , visual , skits or plays , images ,
animations , videos , text , etc . These forms open up opportunities for many approaches
including content , thematic , structural , etc . As a student I have applied design thinking to
understand the elements of success during my phase of choosing the right stream after
intermediate . And storytelling is what I chose to do out of all odds and it helped me gain
knowledge about the phase .
INSIGHT AND APPROACH
What I can infer from storytelling is that it ’s a great tool to think innovatively and creatively .
Being creative is thinking of something that no one has ever thought of . So , storytelling
teaches us to think out of box by learning from different stories ( experiences of your peer
group ) . There are several other outcomes of this . For example storytelling increases self-
confidence , on regular practice one can overcome fear of expression and be a good
speaker . It answered lot of my questions like , “ is studying abroad a good decision ? ” , “ Is
Computer Science Engineering my thing to do ? ” and many more . Listening in empathy is
something I strongly believe in and realised that its one approach to success .

actions in past which when expressed can help attain deeper insights of our work , providing
a great scope for improvement . Sitting in a group , sharing and discussing each other stories
lead us to lot of different thoughts and innovative ideas . Asking questions , listening to
various stories , sharing experiences and explaining values not only engages people in
thinking deep but also establishes a sense of empathy in the peer group which is a basic
step in order to make the design success . After the experiences are shared solutions can be
decided through vivid verbal or visual accounts .
APPLICATION
Storytelling has no borders . Every person regardless of age , gender , race , involves and
engages in it . Usually in a group discussion we all sit together and share our experiences .
Stories are captivating and we learn from them . They ensure full attention is paid and a tight
hold is maintained until the end .
There are different forms of storytelling for example digital , visual , skits or plays , images ,
animations , videos , text , etc . These forms open up opportunities for many approaches
including content , thematic , structural , etc . As a student I have applied design thinking to
understand the elements of success during my phase of choosing the right stream after
intermediate . And storytelling is what I chose to do out of all odds and it helped me gain
knowledge about the phase .
INSIGHT AND APPROACH
What I can infer from storytelling is that it ’s a great tool to think innovatively and creatively .
Being creative is thinking of something that no one has ever thought of . So , storytelling
teaches us to think out of box by learning from different stories ( experiences of your peer
group ) . There are several other outcomes of this . For example storytelling increases self-
confidence , on regular practice one can overcome fear of expression and be a good
speaker . It answered lot of my questions like , “ is studying abroad a good decision ? ” , “ Is
Computer Science Engineering my thing to do ? ” and many more . Listening in empathy is
something I strongly believe in and realised that its one approach to success .

You are a PII (Personal Identity Information) Detection. Given a essays written by students, you have to identify ONLY the following:
NAME_STUDENT - The full or partial name of a student that is not necessarily the author of the essay. This excludes instructors, authors, and other person names.
EMAIL - A student’s email address.
USERNAME - A student's username on any platform.
ID_NUM - A number or sequence of characters that could be used to identify a student, such as a student ID or a social security number.
PHONE_NUM - A phone number associated with a student.
URL_PERSONAL - A URL that might be used to identify a student.
STREET_ADDRESS - A full or partial street address that is associated with the student, such as their home address. | Challenge
Describe your challenge , including all relevant information .
I am a cofounder at https://jones.com/tags/wp-contentpost.html , a agtech Startup specializing in setting up and operating farms and also consulting other farms to be efficient . Hydroponics is a practice of growing greens and veggies on a water and is one of the solutions to feed more with lower resources and carbon footprint . In one of our projects , we were called up to solve a failed crop cycle in one of the farms in India . The farm had been commissioned on schedule and all plants failed to grow after a 40 day cycle leading to a wipeout of all produce . We went in to rescue the farm .
Selection In your own words , briefly describe the tool you selected ( e.g. , what it is and why you selected it for your challenge -- including any appropriate video lecture references ) .
We selected Mind Mapping as the tool of choice . The hydroponics is an evolving technique and lots of unknowns in the field . It was very important to leverage the combined ideas from all and brainstorm to solve the problem and identify the cause of the error .
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 is : We sat down with the farm team and documented all the process they follow and asked crucial questions of “ why ” they did a particular activity in a way and what were the determining factors in those choices . Without prejudice , we all sat in a circle time every day twice to speak the mind . The agronomist , farm electrician , water supply in - charge , organic pest controller shared their actions over the past 60 days in the farm , and also offered their views on what may have gone wrong . The key findings from the studies were these –
a ) The plant roots were affected and unable to pick up nutrients from the water b ) Algae growth on the pipes led to nutrients being unavailable to crops c ) Organic pesticides were in effective against some strange flies affecting vine plants d ) Humidity levels fluctuating through the day in unplanned way e ) Grow lights ( Special purpose LED lights used to simulate Sunlight ) ineffective .
What If : We worked with the teams and analyzed the patterns and anti - patterns to create heuristics from the data to identify the black spaces and white spaces . The problem causes was a simple set –
a ) Lack of correct water usage ( Reverse osmosis water not used to save costs ) .
Normal well water causes algae in pipes
b ) Algae in pipes causing pests c ) Improper fan / pad system design causing air flow gaps affecting humidity d ) Grow lights mistakenly replaced with normal LEDs .
What Wows :
a ) We cleared up one grow area , decoupled from rest of the farm and experimented
with simple RO water ( 5 gallon bottles ) to see the algae growth process .
b ) Replaced grow lights in same sector . c ) Fan pad systems reprogrammed to avoid air drag .
What Works
a ) We are in post seedling stage and results are very encouraging – the algae growth
is zero and no need for any pesticides in the last 3 weeks
b ) No humidity issues faced in the test sector . c ) Grow lights still under testing , effects being measured and visible after 35 days .
Insight : Describe the insight you gained from applying the tool you selected to your challenge ( e.g. , how an insight affected your thinking about the challenge and about design thinking more broadly ) .
The tool from Mind mapping exercise was very useful – rather than take a random approach or keep doing the same things again and again , we found the approach very useful in being able to nail the problem and avoid a massive loss in having to redevelop the farm from scratch .
Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why .
In retrospect , if the owners had employed a visualization approach upfront- the farm would not have gone into this stage . In more layman terms we found a lack of strong documented and visual directions for the farm operators .
