While completing my doctorate degree in France , I was a representative for my team
on the Doctorand Council which was charged with facilitating the integration of doctoral candidates into the environment of the laboratory , as well as aiding them for all university administrative processes . The principal challenge for our group was that there were multiple Doctoral Schools within the same laboratory , and each school has its own registration process and general organization for the doctorate degree . Additionally , the lab welcomes students from all over the world , where the language barrier for interactions with university and doctoral school personnel as well as all the written resources for students can be difficult to overcome . During my time on the council , we decided to affront this problem and develop a
new website that would provide comprehensive information for each doctorate school process in multiple languages . Furthermore , we decided to pair each incoming foreign student with another doctoral candidate further along in their process . This became the cornerstone project for the Doctorand Council during my time . Selection
After a full year of intensive research into the experiences of different foreign
students using many design thinking techniques , such as storytelling and developing personas based on ethnography , our team had amassed a large number of common patterns of difficulty for their integration into the program , in addition to access to previous years ’ feedback from earlier councils . We also had held a meeting with the directors ( full- time personnel ) of each doctoral school within the laboratory to see what was possible within the constraints of the requirements of the schools . Given the large scale of the project to address all of the different schools ’ processes and intricacies , we decided to employ a learning launch for our website and mentorship program for one doctoral school , which was the majority school for many on the council who had personal insight into that particular process . In general , a learning launch is a small - scale experiment for a larger solution directly
in the actual marketplace , where the major interest is to learn and iterate on the idea , rather than decide to go through with it or not . This was perfectly suited to the next step in our challenge , as the immediately received feedback from the focus on this one school would help point out important changes needed for the future full version of the program . Application For our learning launch , we first developed our basic website with all general
information that can be helpful to any newly arrived students to the city and within the laboratory . We developed specific pages , such as detailing what extracurricular activities through the university were available to doctoral students , based on the original student feedback through surveys and personal interviews . We further established a fully detailed check - list like website on the registration for
students from the specific doctoral school that we chose and we paired each new doctoral candidate enrolled in that school with a more seasoned doctoral candidate who intimately
knew the inscription process . In total , we had twenty mentorship pairs , and decided to put five new students with mentors who shared the same native language to see if that could help integrate new students more . Finally , we implemented multiple feedback options to observe the learning launch including a dedicated feedback page on the website , a survey sent out to all doctoral candidates , and one meeting with each mentorship pair together , as well as one meeting with each individually paired person to ask for direct feedback on the mentorship program . This first launch was set to run for one period of “ new students ” meaning six months , so that the feedback could be understood and integrated into a better product for the next semester of new doctoral candidates . Insight Over the entire process , design thinking tools were absolutely necessary to approach
this project . The insights that we received from student feedback allowed quick , executable changes that augmented the experience for all users . Immediately , the feedback webpage provided easy , important changes ranging from spelling errors , offers from students to translate the page to help , and ideas to interactive ways for the website to help students further . The best part of considering this a learning launch meant that we could quickly implement the feedback on a regularly basis , continually improving our product . However , the biggest insights came from the mentorship program and the meetings
in person for the “ users ” to provide their own feedback by telling their own stories . First , we found that providing same native language mentors was not the best solution , as their shared biases could actually lead to problems in the same step of the integration process . This led us to decide to try the exact opposite on the next iteration , pairing foreign students with French students who could then help the new doctoral candidate to better integrate into the international community at the lab , and also . assist in the language barrier for more administrative concerns . Additionally , we recognized many important human factors that should be taken into account when looking for mentors , such as availability , languages spoken , and even trying to pull from different friend groups / teams within the lab . The design thinking principles were perfectly suited to this very human - centric problem . Approach
The design thinking principles were perfectly suited to this very human - centric
problem , which required and continues to require actual personal feedback on what each person has had trouble with . The learning launch was the perfect step at that time for the project , as we had years of ethnographic research from past years as well as current , and the council in our time had already brainstormed the website and mentorship solution . The learning launch during my time on the council was cited as a major aid to new students and has continued to be iterated and improved throughout the past four years as new ideas come to the table .

Example Reflection- Mind Map
1 . Challenge : Describe your challenge , including all relevant information .
The challenge that I face is to identify what is causing the tribal groups of a certain district to not take up the employment opportunities provided by the government . The government outreach workers had observed the impoverishment that the tribals have been living in and as this reflects the economic condition of the district , the district government had passed a policy to provide employment opportunities for the tribal men and women , a 300 days labour and salaried programme
2 . Selection : In your own words , briefly describe the tool you selected ( e.g. , what it is and why you
selected it for your challenge -- including any appropriate video lecture references ) .
The tool I ’ve selected for overcoming this challenge is mind mapping tool which is a tool that looks for patterns and insights that can help in providing a more creative solution to the design challenge one faces . This particular tool will be helpful in understanding the connection of different aspects of the life , features , lifestyle of tribal population and their perception of employment and its purpose . The application of this tool is explained in week 3 ’s 4th video .
3 . Application : Describe how you applied the tool you selected to your challenge ( e.g. , what you did
and how the tool was applied effectively or ineffectively ) .
I met with the tribal population , interacted with them on various things relating to perception of occupation and other activities they do , about the problems they face where they work right now ( those who are employed ) . Spoke to those who were part of this Tribal employment programme in order to get an understanding of reasons ( innate as well ) as to why they stopped in between . Instead of writing the points down as a list , I made a mind map for each person and identified the common factors and responses . So the project designing team , decided to brain storm ideas on how to avoid the problems / pain points the previous project had .
4 . Insight : Describe the insight you gained from applying the tool you selected to your challenge
( e.g. , how an insight affected your thinking about the challenge and about design thinking more broadly ) .
It was easy to apply this tool and was fun as well because I did n’t have to use formal language and could draw simple pictures to express the point being written . The tool made it easier for me to write the final report as everything in the mind map was sequenced and connected . This is a very effective tool to use to when conducting explorative studies .
5 . Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you selected
or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why .
Next time I ’ll use the ethnographic tool as well to identify and compare the employment perception of tribals and non - tribals so that this document can be referred in future while designing projects for tribals , so as to avoid assumptions that the needs of tribals and non - tribals are same or similar .

Challenge & Selection :
I chose Learning Launch because unconsciously during taking the course of Design Thinking of Innovation , I ’ve been putting into practice and even more during this time of pandemic that was caused by the virus COVID-19 . The Covid-19 pandemic is one of the most dangerous challenges this world has faced in our lifetime . It is above all a human crisis with severe health and socio - economic consequences .
Since the Covid-19 has made a presence in our lives , the economy has been paralyzed due to avoid spreading the virus , we had to make a distance between ourselves and the result is that , we as citizens , employees and businessmen have had to stay at home ; different types of businesses closed , primary health centers , mini markets , schools , entertainment centers , restaurants , tourism , sports , etc .
Now that the economy is gradually reactivating , for many people ( and also for me ) we thought that it would be the end of our businesses and that they would go bankrupt . I am from Lima - Peru and I have a plastic products business and I see a great opportunity now that businesses are reopening .
Application :
I think there are many examples of how to apply learning lunching in this time of covid . During this time of pandemic , the government of my country through its conferences has begun to announce that the activities of citizens as well as commerce will be gradually reactivated . But in other to go forward with this step , we must follow requirements ; one of them and the most common is that masks should be wore to avoid get infected between people during our socio - economic activities .
In the case of businesses such as restaurants , markets , etc . They have to follow standards of cleaning and sanitation for reopening .
It is an opportunity for me since my store has a line of products for cleaning maintenance , and also my store gives a delivery service . Since that moment we know and we need to create plans and ideas on how to our costumers can become our clients .
Insight & Approach :
I have already contacted the companies that I work with and I have called some of my clients to tell them that we will be reopening soon according to the date that the government indicates for the businesses . We are also doing a deep cleaning to the store , adding a cleaning kit for the clients , and for my employees Persona Protective Equipment . Some clients are already interested making inquires , and others are already buying our products so that they can also open their businesses soon .

Challenge
Storytelling is an amazing tool that I use all the time . I once got an opportunity to volunteer in a senior center . They need to be empowered and provide a listening ear . I got to spend a lot of time in having conversations with them which eventually opened them up . I found new ways to connect to them on a personal level and inspire them to improve their circumstances .
Selection
It 's important to connect with the seniors as they often find themselves lonely and though they have a lot of stories to share , they often do n’t have anyone to share it with . They have a lot of experience and wisdom which is always a pleasure to listen to . I have found the best way to master storytelling is to find what the crowd is interested to talk and listen to and provide information in the areas they lack in their life .
Application
We decided to launch a structure of storytelling that is specific to each group . It is a more client focused approach . We need to focus that every person is unique and the system should develop methods to meet their individual needs . The approach will fall into a more flexible empathetic . We had a senior citizen who was finding his retired life very disturbing as he was used to working his whole life . So , we created a storytelling technique where I could sit with him and understand what is the reason for not being able to be happy . So , we decided to come up with a solution for him to find a purpose in his life . He used to love singing and we gave him the resources to teach music to young people in a nearby local school and also other interested members in the center .
Insight
This is just an example where we employed a client focused approach to find what was lacking in his life and provided him with the necessary solutions . Through that he could find a purpose in his life and found his life more exciting again . We shared this example in more places and this led to a change in their approach from a rigid non empathetic to a more flexible and empathetic one . It was necessary for the seniors to find someone to understand them and listen to them .
Moving forward , this can be incorporated into future launch designs .
Approach
So , after going through many trials and error in creating many systems , we concluded this flexible client - oriented design of storytelling was the best in reveling better results . The same approach will develop more and evolve as the needs of the clients differ .

I am a member of an NGO working for environment protection . Our project was to raise awareness among local people to take charge of maintaining a neat and clean environment in their locality . Having experience in the field we knew that it was difficult to actually get them to work willingly . The problem was that local people took it as a burden to actually do something for the environment . They feel that they are being forced to do so . Our task was to motivate them to work for the environment and ensure that the motivation was consistent . This problem required deep understanding of human behavior . With very little relevant data in hand we were required to explore the unknown to get agreement .
Selection
We chose to use mind mapping technique as we needed to establish a criteria for the what if state to generate ideas . As we required a deep understanding of the stakeholder ’s ( in our case the local people ) behavior to extract meaningful insights the mind mapping tool appealed the most .
Application
We started by selecting a single society and organizing an event in the club house of the society with due permission of the secretary . We designed the journey of the visitor in a systematic way to motivate the visitors to work for the environment . At the starting the hall had pictures of places destroyed due to bad environment . Then there were places that felt like paradise . These were followed by a big question mark . The residents of the society spent about an hour discussing about the environment . As the experience had told us that people like to do something when they feel to have authority . So our team members were also scattered among them and were involved in conversations assuring the resident that we required their help . We had also provide them with notepads to note the ideas they had .
After an hour we arranged the hall to resemble a conference room as it gave an impression of a board meeting to the people and they felt more authority . We then presented a video that discussed how beautiful the environment is and what blunders could happing if we could not save it . We then asked them to help us to find solutions to the problem by assuring that it could be solved . We were really happy to see a positive response . We gathered the insights that we needed to and the event proved to be a great success .
Insights
We came to know that the people actually wanted to take care of the environment but thought that their lone efforts would not make any difference . Lack of time also emerged as a big problem . Some said that they thoughts if others are not doing anything then why should they do . A small proportion also said that they were held by the thought of what others will think .
Approach
With all these insight we along with the society members drafted a plan to tackle the problem . The members consented to have a meeting every Sunday to discuss plans foe the week among themselves . Those who had lack of time agreed to work every alternate evening for the cause . We proposed that they could hold competitions , related to environment protection , among themselves . The members decided to have a fund foe environment protection .
The mind mapping technique proved very helpful . We now use the same criteria in different societies and the results are always positive .

### Input: Challenge
I am a member of an NGO working for environment protection . Our project was to raise awareness among local people to take charge of maintaining a neat and clean environment in their locality . Having experience in the field we knew that it was difficult to actually get them to work willingly . The problem was that local people took it as a burden to actually do something for the environment . They feel that they are being forced to do so . Our task was to motivate them to work for the environment and ensure that the motivation was consistent . This problem required deep understanding of human behavior . With very little relevant data in hand we were required to explore the unknown to get agreement .
Selection
We chose to use mind mapping technique as we needed to establish a criteria for the what if state to generate ideas . As we required a deep understanding of the stakeholder ’s ( in our case the local people ) behavior to extract meaningful insights the mind mapping tool appealed the most .

Challenge
“ Mind mapping ” technique usually I used to clarify the concepts to my students . As a Professor , I intend to
induce creativity in the minds of the Pupil . I will analyse the concept / simulation and convert all facts into
to pictorial representation in minds . Mind mapping enable them to join related items and to arrive a
solution . In fact , mind mapping is the vital tool to explore „ Idea generation‟ phase , what is ? What if ? What
wows ? What works ? . Mind mapping through diagrammatic representation and explanation helps to clarify
what if ? and what wows ? Some of the students also feel that their creative aptitude improved a lot after
adopting mind mapping in the day to day learning activity .
Selection
The selection of mind mapping as my tool has got many basic reasons . Any task should have a fruitful
outcome . Since the video lectures in the „ Design brief ” explains about the „ step towards success‟ , napkin
pitch , is an example . Boston firm , Chris Calter elaborates the importance of social network to make a
change . Mind mapping is a team technique to achieve collective goal in a shorter time span of time .
Application
Developing mind mapping pictures easy beautiful practice for any teaching professional like me . I too
apply this tool to enlighten myself as a passionate teacher . In Design Thinking video lecture , „ Journey
mapping‟ explores how wow experience is created after reaching every milestone . Each and every bit of
experience in success motivates and pushes towards future success . Dr. Professor Marian moore
effectively used Design Tool of Mind Mapping to arrive a creative solution after distilling all possible and
available factual information . Mind mapping enable diversified ideas to create feasible solution in a lucid
way to attain success . While implementing mind mapping to learn academic lessons , students feel
comfortable in grasping basic concepts and can be able to summarise easily all the concepts learnt .
Implementing Mind Map technique to explore creativity among students itself a pleasant experience which
happens stage by stage .
The entire class of 40 students , I divided them into a group consisting of five students , totally of Eight
teams . The teams were given a sample task to represent a concept such as “ Heat transfer in air
conditioned room ” . Pupil will start thinking how the team can convert Idea into pictorial form . Likewise
each group will perform topics given to other group . Finally , we consolidate all charts prepared by students
and exhibit them . A look on the chart will bring new avenues of creativity among the young minds . The
students will think about what if ? other than my Idea available . Mind mapping will reveal the patterns of
thinking where a teacher can evaluate students capabilities . The insight of approach to a problem and
finding a simple and easy way communication is explored by the students .
The concept of learning „ unknown from known‟ is well understood by students . The four major parts such
as intuitive , visual , creative and engaging is practiced simultaneously . This practice of mind mapping
equips students to emotionally bonding in the team and to develop fast and accurate solution with in
limited span of time . This is well illustrated in the book „ Designing for growth „ ( Rere ) .Mind mapping
will organise the thinking process in systematic way and step - by - step . If there is any error in any one step
it may be corrected and further steps can be modified taking into consideration of the new changes .
Insight and Approach
There is a constructive difference between traditional style of learning and learning by group using Mind
Map . Time consumption is drastically reduced to learn even more difficult or complicated concept . Also the
retention of Ideas is very long , that is , students learnt by mind mapping were formed as the residue in their
memory . The concrete retention leads them more self - reliant and the self - confident . Students approach to
learn by me mere hearing is altered into pen and paper learning method . Mind mapping by interlinking of
ideas elevate them as „ professional learners‟. The charts prepared make them active learners in the entire
class hour . The learning experience is team based and enthusiastic .This unlocks creative thinking and
stacking of ideas systematically . Learning by doing and teamwork explodes creativity and team Spirit . The
benefits of mind mapping is really fruitful compared to other traditional methods

Our challenge was that for many of the user groups we were targeting analytics was not a priority , they were not particularly technology savvy , and they were not accustomed to the notion of data driven decision making and the benefits it could bring to the wider organisation . We were also working in an organisation that had not invested in this area previously and were a long way behind the industry leaders . We recognised that a key driver of our success would be understanding the unique challenges that each team were dealing with and how access to better data and tools for decision making could improve this situation . This applied to their actual job function but also to broader organisational matters .
The Design Thinking tool we selected to assist us with this challenge was ‘ Storytelling ’ . As was highlighted in Video 4 from Week 2 ( “ Storytelling Tool ” ) storytelling has the potential to develop an emotional connection , increase engagement and unite people around a new initiative . We needed to give each team the opportunity to explain their role in detail , highlight what was going well and what was not , and where they thought improvements could be made in their own words . We also wanted to understand their personal experiences in the context of the broader organisational changes that had been in motion for an extended period , including multiple restructures , downsizing and shifts in core business strategy . We did not want to force a costly new technology platform on them in a manner that had no perceived value for them individually and did not address any of the difficulties that they were experiencing . Our team would also tell our ‘ story ’ , expressing our vision and aspirations for both our team and the teams we were looking to partner with .
We organised an offsite at a specially designed facility and invited a representative from each team to speak and discuss the problems they were trying to resolve in their own words , without any mention of business analytics . All teams were represented including finance , sales , marketing , editorial , human resources and technology . There were a wide variety of revelations : editorial staff were resentful of the new performance management frameworks that had been implemented , sales teams were used to relying on gut instincts when making decisions , human resources staff were experiencing fatigue due to the continued restructuring , and in general everyone felt that there were far greater priorities than implementing a new IT system . As each person spoke we recorded key findings on the white boards that covered all the walls for review before the head of our team presented the next day .
Rather than focusing on technical jargon ( single source of truth , data visualization , the analytics maturity curve ) he instead was able to speak to each team on a personal level with a far greater degree of empathy , recognising their challenges and offering ways that we could work together to overcome these without mentioning the actual technology solution at all . Through storytelling he was able to generate genuine support for the program because people could see how their own working lives could be improved and that by contributing their own stories they were shaping the focus areas and priorities for our team . We had been able to understand they key problems , which ones could be addressed by technology , and what the timeframes were for achieving the desired outcomes . The other big positive was that all teams listened to each other and had a better appreciation for each group ’s responsibilities and concerns .
Overall , I felt this was a very worthwhile exercise and based on feedback the majority of participants agreed . For many it was the first time that had been part of this sort of Design Thinking exercise and it had been a very positive experience . We are already planning to have follow - up sessions with these groups and next time I believe introducing ‘ Mind Mapping ’ will help us to define common information requirements and agree on key decision - making metrics that can be used across the organisation . As a compliment to storytelling this tool will allow us to capture key dependencies and will also assist in defining the delivery roadmap for our team .

Challenge & Selection
When working on visualization of something , I try to pick up as many similar images of posters related to a style or a theme as possible . I try to understand the problems and solutions for different cases . It 's not always possible to do something worthwhile without copying someone else 's work . You have to strike a balance between these two things . If there is a customer for the work , you have to try to pick up and comply with the key ideas of the customer and at the same time to get to his desires .
Application
The first thing I do before working on anything is to get in the mood for the work itself . I turn on lo - fi music or any melancholic music that would not distract from the process , drink water and just relax . As I work , I start improvising and just make as much as I can , so I can choose something later and put it together .
Ideas usually come from the process itself and searching for pictures on Pinterest or Are.na . Personally , I only work in the Chrometype style and sometimes have to look up guides to recreate something . Working in this style is usually about typography and effects ( blending styles , working with colors , gradients and textures ) .
Working with fonts in this style is the second important part of the visual . Well - chosen fonts can solve problems with the composition and complement the graphics . These works usually use two pairs of fonts that contrast with each other .
As I wrote earlier , copying work is bad , but you can take some chips from the projects for yourself . That way you can build up a hand and combine different techniques and ideas with each other and get a really unique product for yourself or a customer . It enhances your skills as a designer and increases the breadth of your thoughts and ideas .
Insight & Approach .
If something does n't work , I usually sit and experiment with the settings until I get a satisfactory result . This can go on for hours until I just get tired . Most of the time it really works , you just have to gather your strength and thoughts and understand the subject well . Often quite non - obvious things that surround us even at home help . The texture of your carpet or a sticker from the box of your winter boots can work well into your project .

Challenge : I represent data service team and my internal customer is the manufacturing process engineer . The process engineer is the expert in the respective domain and needs additional insights based on the data generated by manufacturing process . In the absence of readily available visuals , the process engineer had to do imagine what would have happened in the process at some point of time . Due to different team members having different imagination , it was creating confusion about the real state of process .
Selection : To have such insights within short span of time , there was a requirement of a tool that visualizes the same process in Digital format . I selected the tool Visualization to serve my customer . Because this is the most powerful tool in the situation of creating something that does not exist . Visualization of the future state of process in Digital form was user ’s basic requirement . Further , I knew that the insights based on the visualization would make life of my customer much simpler .
Application : Involving the end user in visualization was most important since it was the process engineer , who was supposed used the new Digital solution . Instead of myself designing the visualization and later asking for feedback , I decided to use exactly reverse way of thinking . So we drafted the User Requirement Specification ( URS ) document together . This document captured in written format , all the requirements that user is seeking from the proposed solution . During our brainstorming session , we asked all the stakeholders to draw on whiteboard how do they visualize the process in Digital form . Different visualizations were proposed . Each and every requirement mentioned in URS documented was verified with the proposed visualization designs . Finally the team agreed on a particular visualization format . The format consisted of sketches , diagrams , shapes , symbols in different colors etc . related to manufacturing process . Next , we took some photographs from real process and stuck on the whiteboard at appropriate places . This gave sense of “ close to real ” process for all the stakeholders . The Digital solution designed was a Virtual Dashboard of the process along with the relevant data analytics at each step in manufacturing process .
Insight : There is always a sense of fulfillment when the newly created Visualization exactly depicts what is there is our mind . I had the same experience . The process engineer was now more powerful with added information from dashboard and could also use data analytics to make faster decisions . This resulted in a common visualization platform rather than each person in the manufacturing having own imagination about the process . The problem solving speed was also improved . There were lot many insights from the visuals and the patterns in the related data , which were not visible to the process engineer earlier .
Approach : The customer centric approach is the best way to design any Visualization that does not exist . Creating something totally new of course requires powerful imagination and it is important that everyone ’s thinking pattern is aligned in the same direction . There is no structured way to imagine , since imagination has no boundaries . However , by using Design thinking approach , it was important to create right visual format depicting the real process . Using Visualization as a design thinking tool gave us great learning experience .

### Input: The Digital Twin !
Challenge : I represent data service team and my internal customer is the manufacturing process engineer . The process engineer is the expert in the respective domain and needs additional insights based on the data generated by manufacturing process . In the absence of readily available visuals , the process engineer had to do imagine what would have happened in the process at some point of time . Due to different team members having different imagination , it was creating confusion about the real state of process .
Selection : To have such insights within short span of time , there was a requirement of a tool that visualizes the same process in Digital format . I selected the tool Visualization to serve my customer . Because this is the most powerful tool in the situation of creating something that does not exist . Visualization of the future state of process in Digital form was user ’s basic requirement . Further , I knew that the insights based on the visualization would make life of my customer much simpler .
Application : Involving the end user in visualization was most important since it was the process engineer , who was supposed used the new Digital solution . Instead of myself designing the visualization and later asking for feedback , I decided to use exactly reverse way of thinking . So we drafted the User Requirement Specification ( URS ) document together . This document captured in written format , all the requirements that user is seeking from the proposed solution . During our brainstorming session , we asked all the stakeholders to draw on whiteboard how do they visualize the process in Digital form . Different visualizations were proposed . Each and every requirement mentioned in URS documented was verified with the proposed visualization designs . Finally the team agreed on a particular visualization format . The format consisted of sketches , diagrams , shapes , symbols in different colors etc . related to manufacturing process . Next , we took some photographs from real process and stuck on the whiteboard at appropriate places . This gave sense of “ close to real ” process for all the stakeholders . The Digital solution designed was a Virtual Dashboard of the process along with the relevant data analytics at each step in manufacturing process .
Insight : There is always a sense of fulfillment when the newly created Visualization exactly depicts what is there is our mind . I had the same experience . The process engineer was now more powerful with added information from dashboard and could also use data analytics to make faster decisions . This resulted in a common visualization platform rather than each person in the manufacturing having own imagination about the process . The problem solving speed was also improved . There were lot many insights from the visuals and the patterns in the related data , which were not visible to the process engineer earlier .
Approach : The customer centric approach is the best way to design any Visualization that does not exist . Creating something totally new of course requires powerful imagination and it is important that everyone ’s thinking pattern is aligned in the same direction . There is no structured way to imagine , since imagination has no boundaries . However , by using Design thinking approach , it was important to create right visual format depicting the real process .

Challenge
I would like to reflect on mind mapping . Being a product development manager , I and
team came across several challenges . One of the most used tool in such situations has been
Mind Mapping . We are into the business of manufacturing and sales of spectacle frames . One
of the key challenge faced in the development process is to provide the correct size and fit of
the frames to the customers . Here customer comes with multiple variants like , gender , age ,
profession , region etc . That made it difficult for us to arrive at a proper solution with could
satisfy all the categories mentioned above . While searching for a suitable solution , we came
across design thinking and got to know about Mind Mapping , which we felt the most
appropriate tool to be used for the challenges like this .
Selection
Mind Mapping is one of the most powerful tools in the design thinker ’s toolbox , to
look for patterns and insights that lead to more creative solutions to a design challenge . It
looks in to a large data and converts it into information and insights . Here in our challenge ,
diversity in the population was the challenge we faced and we were looking at a large data to
analyses and crack the solution .
Application
In mind mapping we were looking for patterns and insights in a large quantity of data
that we had collected to know the current reality . Here the goal was to establish a criteria for
the what - if in the idea generation phase . For our challenge we have decided to do it as a
campaign in our store , where we have identified customers based on their gender , age ,
region , profession etc . We were looking for a group of 50 people in the store , but managed
to get 40 .
We have asked these team members to go through our product in the store and try it .
They have been given with sticky notes and a pen to note down their suggestions / feedback
individually , based on fit and comfort quotient of the product . After 2 hours of exercise asked
everyone to gather in the cafeteria . Team has gone through their notes and grouped them on
the clipboard . We could able to get 9 different clusters , which were insightful .
Insight
Now come the important part of this exercise to identify the insights from each
cluster . The team has made their observations and now they need to convert their
observations to insights . For this we did so what ? exercise and continued until meaningful
insights emerge . These insights include human face anatomy , spectacle frame material ,
comfort adding features in the product , pupillary distance among age group etc . At this point ,
this mind mapping is technically completed . The design thinking mind mapping process ,
however is not complete . Here , the pivot between what is and what if , is the generation of a
design criteria statement . In this exercise we have found out the solution as the human face
anatomy , especially the nose dimension plays a pivotal role to ensure fit and comfort quotient
of the spectacle frames .
Approach
As mentioned in the beginning , mind mapping could be the right tool for this
challenge . The result what we got from this exercise has proved it and given confidence to us .
One of the alternate to this approach could be the selection of participants . Here in this
exercise we have included customers only . So it would have been better if we would have
included other stakeholders also , like sales , marketing , design , manufacturing etc . That would
have given further insights to this challenge and ideation stage would have made better .

Challenge As a facilitator of Design Thinking , one of my directives is to work with groups of employees to accomplish two primary goals : 1 ) Identify any pain points the employees are experiencing . What are the obstacles they encounter in their day - to - day work ? What is hindering their ability to serve customers ? 2 ) Develop innovative solutions for those pain points . Once we identify the pain points , we then come up with ideas and solutions to resolve them . What will make the employee experience better ? What will make their work day smoother ? Recently , I worked with a group of employees who work for a large insurance company . We had successfully identified their pain points ( for example , they had to use 3 different types of software to accomplish one of their most frequent tasks ) . Next , we needed to start coming up with ideas to resolve the pain points . The challenge was to actively engage employees in co - creating their own solutions ( as opposed to having the company dictate the solutions to them ) . Selection I selected a component of Visualization , Storyboarding , as a tool to use for an ideation session . Visualization was defined in our class as ‘ Anything that takes us beyond using language alone ’ to express ideas or explain thoughts . Visualization can include anything from drawing a diagram on a piece of paper to using color or graphic elements in a presentation . Because it accesses a different part of the human brain , Visualization is often an effective technique to unlock creativity . Creativity is exactly what I was looking for , as I wanted the group to come up with new solutions to old problems . Storyboarding , just one of many Visualization tools , seemed like the right tool for my group . It involves individuals or groups drawing a cartoon - like sequence to explain their idea for a solution . The emphasis is not on displaying terrific drawing skills , but rather developing a ‘ solution story . ’ What would the solution look like ? Who would it affect ? Application
I asked the group of employees to find a partner to work with . I then provided each set of partners a sheet of drawing paper and some Sharpie pens . Next , I explained the exercise : From our list of pain points , choose one to work on . For that pain point , sketch out a potential solution . Do n’t worry about drawing well , just sketch out a basic sense of your idea . Feel free to use some words too , if that helps explain the idea ( just like in a cartoon ) . You ’ll have 10 minutes to complete the storyboard with your partner . After 10 minutes , we ’ll go around the room and share our storyboards . Each group will have 3 minutes to share their storyboard . The end result is a collection of employee driven solutions that address real needs of the group . Insight To be honest , I was n’t sure what the results would be . However , once I saw the partners in action , I realized that this exercise has its merits . One benefit is that it allows more introverted members of the group to really participate , without having to do a lot of talking in front of the group . Another is that it encourages collaboration . Lastly , the range of solutions was delightfully varied - the group came up with a great range of solutions to their identified problems . Approach One thing I made sure to do when giving instructions was to emphasize that I was NOT looking for artistic , or ‘ good ’ , drawings . I even did a quick sketch on my own so the group could see that I am no great artist . I also made sure to explain that this exercise is designed to access a part of our creative brains , and that the act of sketching can open the door to Visual Thinking . However , the group was still a bit reluctant to participate . This group of employees worked in a conservative environment , and I think they thought the exercise was a bit childish for them . The next time I use this exercise I am going to say up front , ‘ You may think this is a bit silly , drawing stick figures and cartoons here in a boardroom . You may even find it a bit uncomfortable . However , I think you will find that the results from this exercise are valuable potential solutions to your business problems . ’

I was an external partner of a stock company that would launch an updated version of its online trading platform . The challenges were to investigate the company ’s customers ’ needs and to improve the “ feels - like ” of the trading platform , so as to increase the number of members of the updated platform and moreover company ’s share in the online trading stock market .
The team of this project was composed by fifteen members . The team included financial analysts , IT design experts and employees from company ’s online marketing department . The available resources from company ’s side were limited , since its employees should at the same time serve the existing customers and participate in the development of the new platform . Fortunately , the employees of the external partner were fully dedicated to the project and thus the timeframe of six months that we had , till the launch of the new platform , was feasible .
Our main concern was to discover customers ’ needs and the most effective and appropriate ways to serve them . Also , we had to design a user friendly trading platform .
Selection
We have selected the learning launch design thinking tool , since it is a methodology for testing quick and with low cost an idea and prototyping . This tool could be described as a learning experiment that is conducted quickly and inexpensively to gather reliable data from the appropriate market place . We believed that with the selection of this tool , we would gather data from a sufficient sample of company ’s existing customers , that would lead us to the right conclusions .
Application
The first challenge that we had to face was to investigate the customers ’ needs . With the use of learning launch tool , we tested our assumption that the existing trading platform was outdated and did not cover effectively the customers ’ needs . Our team in cooperation with the company prepared a questionnaire , which was sent to the whole company ’s existing clientele . In addition , we conducted a survey to online financial newspapers and magazines and internet sites , so as to discover the needs of potential customers . Moreover , we asked the company ’s salespersons to complete this questionnaire , since they have a personal relationship with customers and know very well what the Market wants . The questionnaire included demographic questions and questions about the trading products , the variety , the commissions that customers were willing to pay and the gains/ losses that they were willing to accept from their investments . The surveys were conducted within a one - month timeframe and had as a prize ten free subscriptions in the updated platform for one year .
The second challenge that we had to face was to improve the “ feels - like ” of the trading platform , that is to design a user friendly trading platform . More specifically , we used the learning launch tool so as to test our assumption that the environment of the platform was complicated and required a good knowledge of the products and the Market . Our team members searched a lot in the Internet for similar successful trading platforms and became members to them . As we used these platforms , we
discovered what we did and did not like and what was and was not efficient in their environment . From our experience , we obtained a completed view of what we wanted to be included in the updated platform and we started prototyping . Furthermore , we conducted some meetings with the company , so as to understand how the company had thought about the environment of the new platform and if our prototype was feasible with the limited available resources . Finally , we have concluded to a prototype and we launched a demo version of the new platform . To this demo version only the company ’s employees and some “ good ” customers had access , so as to test it and submit their proposals for improvements .
Insight
With the use of learning launch tool , we ended up with our assumptions and through the learning experiments that we conducted we tested these assumptions . More specifically , with the surveys that we ran and the research that we made , we have confirmed the accuracy of our original assumptions and we managed to design an efficient prototype of the trading platform . With the use of the demo version of the platform and the improvement recommendations that we received from the test users , we ended up with the final full version of the trading platform . Through this methodology we designed an efficient platform , within the minimum timeframe and with the minimum cost , and we minimized any potential future losses .
Approach
I believe that the learning launch was the most appropriate design thinking tool , based on the challenges that we had to face . As it is already mentioned , our original assumptions were accurate and the gained insight was reflected in the demo version and in the final full version of the updated trading platform , that was launched from the company .

1 . Challenge :
I am a professor at University and I was assigned a special project with a nearby
small community . People were suffering with the arrival of minor drug dealers that were affecting the youth in the community in different ways . They were trying to distribute their products outside the school and to recruit people to widen their distribution network . Some of the public spaces were taken by this recently arrived individuals to carry out their trade , and families were scared of going out because they did n’t want any trouble ; so little by little the public spaces were taken by the “ bad ” and all the “ good citizens ” were forced to stay at home . The public spaces started to look abandoned and dirty
The assignment was to recover one of those public spaces , so families felt safe
spend their free time there . This would force bad people go away .
2 . Selection :
The tool we selected to start this project was : Mind Maping . We believed we
needed a tool that was hepful to represent everyone ’s opinions around the main problem . This way we were able to visualize which were the pain points of the community about the problems , how was the community before the arrival of these people , what was the most visited public space , and what where they willing to do about it . This tool was helpful because it gave all the participants an opportunity to give an opinion , and all opinions were considered .
3 . Application :
For the mind mapping we invited 30 different memembers of the community . The
community leaders , teachers , families ( father , mother and children ) leaders form important community groups : artist , dancers , etc . Also the students participated in the activity . We divided the group in 3 teams and made sure that each team had all kinds of members . Each team was lead by a trained student and was given the same instructions on what to include in the mind map : Pain points , how was the community before , and what they were willing to do to solve this problem . The 3 models expresed similar ideas . After each mind map was done , the whole group combined the mind maps to build one .
4 . Insight :
The applied tool gave us the opportunity to pick up everyone ’s opinion . It was not
a vote , it was a consensus . In an organized and visual way we were able to “ draw a picture ” of the situation and how the community felt about it . We all understood exactly what was the situation and how to proceed . We undestood each other and mainly , we printed all the details about reality , we did n’t invent anything . Having all the details , together we decided on the action plan and we all felt commited to it because it was everyone ideas
5 . Approach :
I really liked the tool but I must say that analyzing the information took longer
than expected . Next time , I would prepare deeply on this phase of the tool , or maybe with more practice we can do it in a more agile way . We are very pleased with the results , I ca n’t wait to try all the different tools that design thinking has to offer .

Challenge
I ’m a professional photographer , based in Brazil , and weddings are my
main niche . Through this course I ’ve learned some tools and methods , and now
I ’m able to put in practice some ideas that lived in my mind for the last year .
As I talk to my clients , I hear some frequent problems that brides go
through , when planning their weddings – things that go from finding the right
professionals to the way that a ceremony must happen .
Selection / Application / Insight / Approach
Based on that , my idea was to develop a course , so that the brides can be
more prepared to the problems that appear during a wedding plan .
And here enters the design thinking : I ’ve interviewed some brides , being
or not my clients , to have a deeper understand of the issues that they go and
gone by .
Focusing on the problems of them , I ’ve learned about the core pain they
face , and confirmed my assumption , that the course will solve some serious
problems . I will now proceed and test ways to do . If it becomes necessary ,
pivoting and looking for alternative paths to solve the problems I hear about so
often .
I ’m already using the knowledge acquired in the course classes .

So I use Story Telling to communicate to my Frontline Team as they have less patience . So a structured Story Telling becomes a effective Tool for Communication . It helps to make a strategy - simple , colorful , visible and achievable . Application I have a story for the purpose of storytelling . My ZHQ market , BCYF was not doing well in 4 g Bundle Net Adds . To understand the reason I went to all populated / area location / cluster of the Town . While interacting with retailers and Team it came out very clearly that Retailers are not promoting our network despite of better / improved speed and voice quality . While doing a compassion it was even better than competition . The consumers are not aware of our improved network . We did not do any communication to Retail about our Improved Network , neither any Frontline Team is showing the speed and talking about it .

Insight & Approach It was a good learning for me and was keen to correct the same in improved Network Location . I then took all data points and divided BCYF Town in 21 Cluster and checked which area / location has a improved Network and a poor improvement in 4 g Bundle Net Adds . I told the story to my Sales Head and reason of Low 4 g Bundle Net Adds - that is Communication and GTM . Also told the story to all Frontline Team and corrected the GTM , Input parameters , put banners communicating the Improved Network , Put Local Maps of new sites in Retailers point in Improved Network Cluster , put Okhla Speed Test Results in Retailers Point in Improved Network Cluster , pushed Retailers to experience personally with some Free Data Sampling and maximize the 4 g Bundle Net Adds . The Story Telling to Frontline has helped to understand the situation better . The Course has helped me to have a structured thinking and helped me to tell the story in a structured way .

I was part of a volunteering team in an NGO . The team had as a project , to work and try to improve any field or system in Lebanon . As agriculture is a very big sector in our country , but still neglected , we thought about a way to improve this sector . Most farmers if not all still live in poverty , mainly because of the low revenues and prices compared to prices in the market . This is mostly due from the farmers ’ ignorance and the long distribution chain to get the products to the markets . We decided to tackle this issue and try to create a technology to link farmers to direct buyers in order to increase their revenues .
Selection
We have decided as a team to use the learning launch tool . We believe it ’s the best tool when it comes to creating a mobile application . Since we discovered that most farmers do not own a smartphone and are not “ tech savvy ” , this tool will help us improve our project , working with a prototype and experiment it with farmers to get feedback .
Application
Our launch was focused on providing a simple mobile application with incredible features like chat and sharing location . Then our next step was to observe the farmers ’ interaction with the platform . And it was following this step that we found out that most of the farmers did n’t own a smartphone , despite that they liked the idea proposed . Even if this process had “ negative ” outcome , it helped us understand more the market , and farmers ’ lifestyle .
So what we decided to do was to hold this idea for a while , and meanwhile collecting old smartphones donations . After gathering enough phones , our team had to make sure to teach those farmers how to use the devices and especially the application .
Insight
By implementing the learning tool , my team and I had the opportunity to test our project . It was through the learning process that we found out about the farmers ’ lifestyle , which enabled us to improve our project , which was n’t going to succeed without this learning launch . Moving forward through the process , we learned that our project should have been more a human centered design instead of product centered one . Finally leading to satisfied farmers .
Approach
I believe that the learning launch tool was the appropriate tool for our project . As it was very effective for us , I think that it might not always be the case for any project or idea . There are always other ways of approaching an idea in order to get the ideal solution . That ’s why these design thinking tools are very effective and can be used all together in a project .

Due to the quarantine , supermarkets only accept
a limited number of customers to shop inside their
buildings to promote social distancing . Some
supermarkets are forced to close , accepting no
customers at all . People who do shop tend to buy a
month ’s worth of groceries in fear that if they shop
weekly , the chance of them catching the virus
increases . The large amount of items purchased leads
to other people getting robbed of the chance to
shop , and for the ones who do shop , they bring home
a heavier load that requires another person to carry
which violates social distancing .
The design thinking tool I will be using is mind
mapping . For me , mind mapping is a representation of
your mind and it is used to look for patterns and
insights .
I used to use mind mapping as a substitute for
lecture notes since I am still a high school
student , so using it in design thinking was very new
to me . It is a creative way to organize information
in clusters . I used it to answer the question “ What
is ? ” . My mind map included branches of who the
customers are and their problems are . Based on
empathy and observation , I noticed my mom would be
very tired when she comes home from shopping . She
makes sure to spray everything with alcohol after
throwing away a disposable face mask . After that she
takes a bath to make sure she ’s clean when she
breastfeeds my brother . Everything my mom does is
for the family ’s sake . She wanted to shop for us ,
but she ’s tired of carrying heavy bags by herself .
She is also scared of our safety . Mind mapping was
very effective in defining the problem .
In applying mind mapping to the challenge , I was
able to think beyond myself . It was as if my mind
and the consumer ’s hearts were merged together to
become one thinking machine . Emphasis on the needs
of the consumer was put in on the design thinking
process . I was introduced to mind mapping as an
alternative to linear notes ; a way to study easier .
Now that I know mind mapping can be used in
business , I am able to be creative , intuitive and
logical .
Next time I do this , I think I will use the
storytelling tool since I could ’ve told the story of
my mom ’s hardships to provide food on the table . I
could ’ve possibly reached a higher level of empathy
and a more concrete definition of the problem . Maybe
I could have used my friend ’s parents and what their
hardships were to create multiple personas so that
the solution I come up with will benefit more
people .

Challenge : In my consulting work , I frequently present to peers and colleagues about best practices in technology management and most recently , the workshops and conferences center around the broad and varied topic of Cybersecurity . Engaging participants in complex topics , who may have a wide range of experiences and knowledge is a challenge . The concepts and tactics used throughout the design thinking process work well in delivering these sometimes two day conferences because design thinking offers a varied approach to solving organizational problems associated with mitigating cybersecurity risks at small , sometimes under resourced organizations , and works well in maintaining a collaborative and interactive environment for the participants and myself .
Selection : I have employed a variety of design thinking tools to organize activities during the cybersecurity conferences , for this reflection , I will discuss how using the tool of storytelling is impactful in delivering a conference to a varied group of individuals . I selected storytelling because it offers a compelling way to connect the participants emotionally to the work of managing cybersecurity while also offering meaningful and relevant connections to their own work and experiences . Storytelling creates an environment that prepares the group for a “ learning mindset ” as described in week 1 of the Design Thinking course . Additionally , it puts the human beings and their experiences front and center . Week 2 of the design thinking course was particularly resonate for me , specifically , the Storytelling video featuring Hassan Munoz , Chief Learning Officer , at Mars , he says “ It has emotional connection , and it also has larger purpose . Storytelling is the difference between solving a problem and creating a cause . Right ? Let ’s solve a problem . Here 's an issue we face , let 's create a pro and con list about how to solve it , pick the best option from there . A cause is something that ignites people , and unites people . And I think that 's what a good story does , is it creates a cause . ” Creating the emotional connection to the subject matter I believe is essential to learning among the participants and is why I feel that storytelling is a solid choice for this exercise and as part of the cybersecurity conferences .
Application : In preparation for the cybersecurity conferences , I review case studies , recent incidents , and articles that I have been involved with either personally or peripherally through my ongoing work in the field of educational technology management and cybersecurity . At the conference , I engage the participants in an activity that enables them to get up and move around to various poster paper set up around the room . The poster paper has key questions on them ( i.e. What are you most worried about when it comes to cybersecurity ? Or Have you yourself been the victim of and/or been involved with a cybersecurity incident ? ) The participants write answers on these for about 10 - 15 minutes . At the end of that exercise I ask them to observe and make connections to what others have written down . This activity
serves as an ice breaker and allows me to see what the participants have in mind or have experienced , allowing me to select appropriate stories that will resonate with the group . If there looks to be a concentration of interest around the subject of Phishing , Ransomware or Multi - factor authentication , then I ’ll tell stories about incidents related to those areas in order to create the emotional connection and also to ignite a feeling of connection among the conference attendees . I do this by taking the participants along on a journey through several cybersecurity incidents . This approach has been effective , especially when the stories resonate with the participants areas of interest and/or exposure in their day - to - day work .
Insight : The insights I have gained from applything the storytelling tool are varied and have impacted my thinking about the challenge in interesting ways . Prior to taking the design thinking course , I did not previously give much thought to how meaningful the storytelling aspect of session and/or workshop design is to the overall success of the participant ’s experience . Now that I am more enlightened to the reasons why storytelling is an integral piece of the design thinking process , I will be even more mindful of it as I iterate and improve the overall workshop / conference experience . Additionally , I have also gained an increased insight into the role of empathy in the complex work that I do in advising other professionals working in cybersecurity and educational technology management . Individuals tasked with solving complex problems around technical issues , may be disconnected with the impact of the work they do and design thinking provides a variety of tools and approaches that encourage empathy , among other benefits , which would ultimately serve the individuals well in the work that they do . Understanding their key stakeholders and how they can best serve their organizations with limited resources is critical to their understanding , but ultimately they get caught in the “ let ’s fix this ” mindset and design thinking provides a effective framework to overcome the challenges of the “ let ’s fix this ” mentality .
Approach : The approach of storytelling has been effective overall , however , I can see opportunities to improve and expand the approach by incorporating other design thinking tools throughout the cybersecurity conferences and workshops . I am particularly interested in testing whether mind mapping could be an effective exercise in assisting with the mapping of the ways that small organizations may be storing personally identifiable data and/or other important aspects of cybersecurity . I have most recently been using a tool called Coggle to design mind maps and am observing whether they would be useful in collaborating with others to establish the facts about how small organizations store data so that decisions about how to effectively secure critical data can be made .

### Input: Design Thinking Reflection Assignment January 24 , 2019
Challenge : In my consulting work , I frequently present to peers and colleagues about best practices in technology management and most recently , the workshops and conferences center around the broad and varied topic of Cybersecurity . Engaging participants in complex topics , who may have a wide range of experiences and knowledge is a challenge . The concepts and tactics used throughout the design thinking process work well in delivering these sometimes two day conferences because design thinking offers a varied approach to solving organizational problems associated with mitigating cybersecurity risks at small , sometimes under resourced organizations , and works well in maintaining a collaborative and interactive environment for the participants and myself .
Selection : I have employed a variety of design thinking tools to organize activities during the cybersecurity conferences , for this reflection , I will discuss how using the tool of storytelling is impactful in delivering a conference to a varied group of individuals . I selected storytelling because it offers a compelling way to connect the participants emotionally to the work of managing cybersecurity while also offering meaningful and relevant connections to their own work and experiences . Storytelling creates an environment that prepares the group for a “ learning mindset ” as described in week 1 of the Design Thinking course . Additionally , it puts the human beings and their experiences front and center . Week 2 of the design thinking course was particularly resonate for me , specifically , the Storytelling video featuring Hassan Munoz , Chief Learning Officer , at Mars , he says “ It has emotional connection , and it also has larger purpose . Storytelling is the difference between solving a problem and creating a cause . Right ? Let ’s solve a problem . Here 's an issue we face , let 's create a pro and con list about how to solve it , pick the best option from there . A cause is something that ignites people , and unites people . And I think that 's what a good story does , is it creates a cause . ” Creating the emotional connection to the subject matter I believe is essential to learning among the participants and is why I feel that storytelling is a solid choice for this exercise and as part of the cybersecurity conferences .
Application : In preparation for the cybersecurity conferences , I review case studies , recent incidents , and articles that I have been involved with either personally or peripherally through my ongoing work in the field of educational technology management and cybersecurity .

Challenge
I am purchasing and logistics specialist in an international gold mining company who is in charge of procurement of goods such as mechanical equipment or diverse work - site requirements to to mine site in Africa . Recently the amount of the order of the goods we received from the mine site reached to an uncontrollable number along with their urgencies as the operations need to be expanded . Thus , delays and following that complaints from the mine site started to arise . Our supply chain management team was asked to create a project to find out reasons of limitations with procurement to explain other departments current capabilities . Because mine site applies a vast pressure on supply chain department to receive all the orders always on time . Conflicts between supply chain management team and mine - site causes processes to be even longer than usual . To determine existing problems , and to explain these to other departments with the simplest way , a workshop of two weeks was started .
Selection
Visualization is the fundamental tool selected to determine flowchart of supply chain in the company . The reason of the visualization slection is that mapping of activities along with the stakeholders of supply chain can be comprehended easily with a summarizing flowchart . As explained by Angela Myer in the first week of the course : “ pictures and images help us better narrate how system works . Idea is to prepare a general overarching flowchart which illustrates key activities , stakeholders , problem causes in delivery . The purpose of the workshop was to establish a concrete base for a further performance improvement practice .
Application
Initially supply chain team was asked to prepare a workflow for procurements that they are responsible for . Four specialist in the team , drew sketches of the recent procurements they managed in last two months . Thus a pool of stakeholders being involved to the supply chain were determined recently . Then the importances of suppliers are identified as a result of discussion and they are written in bubbles . Bubble sizes indicate the importance of each supplier . The bigger size refers to the more importance of that supplier for the company . Later on general activities are drawn as a result of brainstorming to summarize overall supply chain with the members of the department . Finally , with key stakeholders and activities defined , determination of problems arising on steps of supply chain flowchart are discussed . Problems that were dealth with by each specialist according to the experiences are drawn inside red squares with keywords , either inside or outside the company . Eventually , overall map of supply chain was prepared to present responsibles from the departments being involved to procurement .
The map is intended to serve as a bridge between mine site and supply chain department to solve conflict , and find solutions to existing problems . In a meeting , the map was presented and detailed for other departments . At the end of the meeting , other departments agreed on the fact that majority of the problems causing delays in
procurement stems from insufficient communication between departments . Thus , the flow of knowledge is blocked and some processes must be repeated over and over again . Workflow provided an abstract yet explanatory overview on suppl chain activities for other departments , and raised more awareness on the actual facts .
Insight
Outcomes of the visualization based workshop were found significantly effective by managers of each department . More efficient sommunication and collaboration started to be observed between mine - site and office departments , mostly with procurement . What I found mostly effective was identification of the importance of suppliers for the company . This helped us evaluate the replaceability of many suppliers we are working with . Visual explanation of activities made it much easier for us to describe some major issues to others by providing them a wider perspective to look at .
Approach
As I had to use the visualization tool in a hands - on experience , I became more aware of how effective and simple it could be to deliver ideas and persuade others . However , for the following steps of the supply chain performance improvement study in my company , I would prefer using learning launch to focus more on problems and their solutions in a timely manner . Because solving the problems requires more idea generation than depiction of activities with visualization tools .

Challenge and Selection
I could say I use storytelling most of the time , almost in every situation . I work as a Project Manager for a major bank in my country . Surrounded by a highly professional environment , I deal with a lot of stressed members in my work team , which can lead to negative impacto ver the projects ’ goals , and stress might as well be originated from different sources .
I tend to approach my co - workers in order to understand by first hand what ’s going on in their lives and if I can somehow provide guidance to the problems they may have , find if there are technical or behavioural solutions and choose the best way to cope with it .
Application
My story is about working for the mentioned bank we work for . We ’ve been assigned a Project about agile practices implementation and we all have different roles there . I myself had two junior Project Managers under my wing , both of them really different people to deal with , but one in particular displayed some kind of agressive attitude towards the rest of the team . I played my good listener skills so I could colsely understand his satisfaction levels and perception of the work environment ; I digged deeper into his background to find out the propper way to approach him . I sensed he had been struggling with big finacial issues for several months , which were deteriorating his marriage .
Insight and Approach
This was one multi - disciplinary task to do . In situations like this one you have to act like a priest , a psycholoyst , career coach , couselor , etc . The guy had personal issues influencing his professional performance , mood , motivation and creating a lack of willness to do things . I told him about the ways lots of situations may harm your work environment , how you should deal with them , separate them from any other environment and to keep away from negative thoughts so he could easily see problems go away .
Storytelling is a skill to be triggered as much as possible ; It brings nearness to the team and lets you believe you work there for more tan just your technical skills .

Being working as a training manager with a U.S Healthcare company communication support center here in Pakistan . Our company got a new project which includes multiple stakeholders with which our company employees have to connect with on daily basis . Though instructions and operating procedures to execute that project were received and were transmitted to 25 employees via typical knowledge transfer training exercise but it was the 3rd month and employees were not able to understand completely the about the work process they were supposed to follow . It was like , few people were aware about certain part of their daily work and few people were aware about the different part of the work so no one was on the same page despite of the daily efforts of updating employees about their mistakes & refresher exercises to update their knowledge so it was all in vain . As a result the service quality of the work produced was very low and overall performance was very unsatisfactory which was leading towards discontinuing the project as we were the project executing partner as a vendor .
Selection :
I selected visualization tool to train employees about the work process but to teach people first I had to master the work process & the knowledge required to perform that job so I started by choosing journey mapping tool first to record the journey of complete process .
Application :
I recorded the complete knowledge of the work process from 1st step to last for that I communicated with a POC in U.S to receive the knowledge , I made a process book than I made the breakdown of process into steps . And with that I designed the visual representation of each step . So not just I did standardized & compiled the complete knowledge in one book but also converted a 50 pages process book into 5 pages of visual representation of each step using visual images of every step . And then decided to conduct a learning session by dividing the overall learning activity into 3 days . Each day training plan was consisted of 3 parts .
Employee Knowledge assessment before training | By taking Quiz Learning Session | Visual representation of the process Post learning Session Quiz | To know the improvement in employee knowledge
Insight :
The pre learning session knowledge percentage of employees was 40 % and post learning session score was above 85 % . Resultantly , employees started producing error free work which results into drastic increase in the overall quality of overall services and so our company meets the client satisfaction and got another project after continuous delivery of services with that service quality in next 1 month .
Approach :
I will use the same approach but I see the usage of other tools like Mind mapping in some projects like I believe this could be useful in our software development team working way as this exhibits a different approach which unveils multiple sides of innovation as comparative to our traditional way of working .

The challenge
I am working on marketing agency , and we start new Facebook page to promote our product , and we tried so hard to increase the engagement in our posts , in order to increase sales , the challenge is to Increase the engagement by editing the posts style and content in a way that attract people and drive them to engage with our products , as the problem is human - centered , because we need to understand our market behavior , attitude , culture and traditions . we need more data to understand our product value to the new market , as we have some data , we need to start doing research
The selection
I chose to use mind mapping tool , so I can look for pattern and themes I have in my data , furthermore , I will collect data from different competitors , so I need to know what is the common thing they are using and how they enter that market and how they acquire new customers
The application
After collecting a large quantity of data I will use the mind mapping tool to establish criteria for what if idea generation phase , and to capture and represents the minds of our customers ,
First , I will do my research then identify my criteria then establishing a design criteria
I will start researching my competitors , to see what kind of price strategy they are using , how they attract people to their website , what is their competitive advantage … .etc . , then I will develop my criteria and what I have found and last I will establish my criteria for the next phase .

Challenge
I work for pharmaceutical company and in a marketing department focusing on medication for patients
with schizophrenia . As you know , schizophrenia is kind of brain related illness which sometimes causes
disability socially and individually that they need a medical support and social support . One of issue is
declining of cognition level that doctors need to have an endurance and technique to communicate with
them by using simple and clear words . On top of that , they do n’t think they are disease , they think
themselves as a normal human being that their situation make compliance for medication difficult and
tend to relapse because of stopping medication . Physicians usually use mini - booklet or illustrated
explanatory guide to explain all about what a disease of schizophrenia is and what is importance to
prevent recurrence of disease and etc . It is ordinally way to let patients understand an importance of
keeping taking medicine regularly based on obeying doctor ’s order however , their disease related
problem make it difficult to motivate them to continue having drug .
Selection
I used learning launch for my project in advance to actually launch our new service to the market .
Investment for this project was really huge that I needed a pilot study for making it success .
Application
In order to solve this issue as mentioned above , I came up with new idea to utilize movie leaflet which
equipped with 7 inch of digital screen in a booklet and which automatically explain all about an
importance of taking medicine regularly by running enjoyable music while the explanation is held .
However , it was totally new approach that I needed to prove if this way would work well or not . I choose
around five sites which were willing to do pilot experiment using prototype of “ Movie leaf ” to see if
patients with schizophrenia would react positively as well as doctor would feel it easy to use for
explaining to their patients .
Insight
Through above experiments , I could find out some needed modifications to effectively adopt “ Movie leaf ”
to real medical field . These modifications could not be found on the table in my office and from original
hypothesis however , I could receive meaningful great feedback from doctors and patients who joined the
experiments . I recalled this experience when I learned “ What wow and What works ” phase in the course .
Eventually , I succeeded in launching new approach of “ Movie leaf ” by modifying several points such as
volume of instruction and length of the video and could contribute to schizophrenia treatment . I received
a lot of pleasant message from medical representatives and doctors that it is really helpful to get patients
to understand entire treatment for schizophrenia and motivate them to continue the medication . If I
did n’t apply learning launch , I would be failing and causing of huge loss to the company . I understood
the importance of pre - launch action . I hope my developed device support them for long .
approach
At the same time , I ’m a Part - time MBA student that I want to horn my capabilities utilizing design
thinking approach not only through learning from my business school as well as my workplace of
pharmaceutical marketing department . In particular , I want to use mind mapping , and visualization
for the next assignment or real tasks .

Challenge
I work in a bank organization as a resilience team member . Our team mainly provide solutions for recurring problems and the personnel who affected by those problems . Our challenge is increase the efficiency and effort management for the branch personnel of the bank by identifying their problems and create quick / automatic solutions for them . In our scope there are 900 branches and 1800 personnel exist . All the problems encountered in branches need to be solved by these personnel at most within one week . There are two personnel responsible in each branch . One works for the customers of the bank and the other one works with the ATM devices in the branch building . There are 30 million customers and 5 thousand ATM devices within branch buildings . We need to quickly figure out what kind of problems we might see , which are related to branch customers and/or which are related to the ATM devices . When we determine the problems we will focus on possible solutions and precautions for the problems before they cause bigger ones .
Selection
Since there are many customers and devices per branch personnel , being quick has has a crucial role in this job . We must face and solve the problems when they first emerge and less customers effected . Thus , we will use learning launch method , this ensure our problem detection and create solution ideas will be easily implemented and experimented quickly . Also this tool will provide us fast and cheap test environment .
Application
In the first learning launch we asked these questions . Who is our customer ? As internal , branch personnel , as external , customers of the bank . What are their main problems ? For personnel , ATM device problems that are ATM balance difference , ATM money loss . For customers , ATM money jam while performing transaction . How we can detect these problems ? The best option for our assumption is would be automatically problem detection mechanism . The faster we detect the problem the faster we solve it . So , the customers would not have always need to report problems to us . We would have been informed about the problem even the solving progress could have started . After all , we have learned that from Chapter-4 , “ The purpose of a learning launch is to get the truth and then the truth either confirms or dis - confirms your assumptions . ” Our assumption seemed more likely be true , so we could go on second phase of the learning launch . Hereby , we could test our assumption by measuring problem detection and solving times , also effort and time effiency of the personnel , and problem numbers reported by customers . For our second learning launch , we determined an experiment group consists of ten different branches to make this progress fast and cheap as possible . For balance difference and money loss problems , we defined and implemented error keywords to ten specified ATM devices to have it indicated a possible problem . When the specific error keyword detected , an automatic message generated to the personnel that contained " There is a problem that can cause balance difference or money loss problem . Check the related transaction . " Also , for the money jam problem of the customers , we defined and implemented different error keywords with auto test feature to the ten specifed ATM devices . When the specific error keyword detected , this time ATM device started auto test and count all the money that customer deposited . After the jammed money counted and specified , automatic money refund process to the customer account started . Also out team has conducted a two surveys for ten personnel from different branches and one hundred customers who had interaction with these branches and related ATM devices . The surveys were conducted within one week and included questions about benefits of our new auto error detection method , time efficiency of
personnel , and feelings about the change . Also for customers , additional questions about customer satisfaction were added .
Insight
The learning launch tool , helped our team to make assumptions and test them in a fast , cheap and easy way . Our expectation from results to see increased efficiency of branch personnel and increased customer satisfaction . When we evaluated the actuals results by comparing problem numbers reported by per branch personnel and solution time of problems between the experiment branches and the branches that learning launch assumption have not applied , we realized that auto error detection has helped branch personnel to solve problems faster . Also , the personnel in these ten branch reported less number of problems to our team than the personnel in other branches . However , by the customer side , survey results show that some of the customers have refunded lesser the exact amount of the money they intend to deposit . In future launches this insight will be reviewed . Changing or improving the idea would seem to be useful .
Approach
We can say with the peace of the mind the learning launch tool is suitable and easily applicable for improvement of our work processes , especially by enabling to test and see the results immediately . We have obtained important insight from learning launches , and with this information we will get one step closer to desired truth in our reviews . In future launches insight will be improved , we will made better progress and be more ready for full rollout .

Challenge
I work in the Intellectual Property ( IP ) Department of a multinational pharmaceutical company . One of the key challenges for my team is to generate and maintain patents ( a type of intellectual property ) that cover inventions on drug technology in multiple countries . My company has been filing and maintaining patents applications in different geographies of the world for around 15 years , but the data related to those filings was maintained in an Excel file . Presently , the process is not efficient as the data is scattered . There is a lag time to get timely information that can enable a business decision , as my team has to reach out to several stakeholders in different countries to get the information . Further , the patent review meetings occur every quarter adding to the delay . Currently , there is no online tool for accessing company ’s latest patent information to plan business strategy .
Selection
I selected the Mind Mapping tool to set up a central online repository of the latest patent information that will help to know global patent portfolio on a particular drug product at any given time to timely enable business decisions . Once the data has been centralized in an online platform , with the mind- mapping tool it will be easy to review and analyse the large data set to identify the patent filing patterns in each country . After that it would be easy to define the patenting gaps in a particular field of technology in that country to offer insights into opportunities to generate further patents for our company that will block competitors in the market , ultimately increasing our company ’s market share and revenue .
Application
I started the process by interacting with various cross - functional teams like research and development , business development , marketing and regulatory to understand their specific needs and the impact patent portfolio would create on augmenting the business case and licensing opportunities in each of the countries . I went to the whiteboard and listed the departments , then added sticky notes for each feedback that I received . After that , I could see some common requirements among the teams and the team - specific requirements .
Patent law and rules for each country are different yet they have some similarities . So next , I reached out to different patent teams within my company based in America , Europe and Asia to gather information on region specific patent requirements . I also reached out to external sources such as law firms specializing in patent prosecution and management , and various in - house counsels in patent departments of other leading pharmaceutical companies to get information on the tools widely used in the industry to maintain patent information .
Gathering the information , I proposed the idea of this online tool and the associated benefits to my teams in America , Europe and Asia . Once I got them on - board with the idea , I involved them in the process . Based on the information that I had received earlier from cross - functional teams and external law firms and corporations , I shortlisted five online tools for further evaluation . I arranged for a demo of these tools with six team members based in each of the three geographies . I asked each team to provide feedback on the tools in terms of functionality , user friendliness , and cost . With this data , I again returned to the whiteboard and created a matrix with the five online tools and three regions ( America , Europe , Asia ) . Next , I placed the feedback received from each of the three teams in sticky notes in one of the quadrant of the matrix on the whiteboard . At the end of this process , I had pros and cons of each tool for each region . Now it was easy to identify the pattern in the data . I narrowed down on a tool based on most number of sticky notes on pros and least number of sticky notes on cons . The tool was subscribed by my team . Initially , a small set of data for the last five years was integrated into the system to check its accuracy and verify data . After that over a duration of three months the entire data was migrated into the new online tool . Once the data was centrally organized with online accessibility , it was easy to identify the technology gaps in a particular field of drug development in a country , and then file new patent applications in those countries , thereby increasing company ’s revenue .
Insights and Approach
Applying the mind mapping tool made it easy to analyse large set of data at different levels to identify the key criteria and then categorize the individual data points into those categories , so that a pattern emerges from which meaningful insights can be drawn to meet the goal .
Next time , I would use the visualization tool or visual thinking to get an understanding of the common and differentiating aspects from a diverse set of data points to identify the trends leading to an effective solution keeping the end goal in mind .

Challenge I am a researcher in a chemical manufacture company that works in a digital transformation initiative group of my organizations . We are working closely under the collaboration with other research and developments ( R&D ) groups to implement the advance technologies in order to improve the performance of the R&D processes . Selection Under the smaller thematic groups , at some point , we had done some analysis by some parts of the Design Thinking processes . We started to described the conditions of the other research group , list up of the ideas , brainstorming about the difficulties and the importance of the tasks and then we started to implementing and experimenting about some ideas . Application For the first learning launch , we focused on the development of small prototypes of visualization tools . Here , we assumed that our developed tools could help the communications between us and our client group and also between the member of the internal groups . We tried to delivered it quickly and reported the development regularly . We also analyzed the logs of the access to the tools to map the interest to our tools . Here , we found out that the access was higher than we expected , although it was quickly going down . However , interestingly , we found out that the tools are still used even for 3 months after the first launch . Furthermore , we took the anonymous survey on the users . The survey was included the questions that mainly focused on the which tools are mainly used , the impact of the tools , and what kind of improvements that they are expected . Some personal interviews were also conducted , in order to get better insights of user ’s need . We are starting the second learning launch to improve the performance of our tools and implemented the user ’s feedbacks into our system . Insight By applying the design thinking process and followed by the learning launch , our team was able to identify the real conditions and problems , build up some hypothesis , coming up with ideas , and designed a concreate launches to test our hypothesis . In this case , we found out that our approaches meet with our client expectations . Although some improvements are necessary , in the near future , our group will review this insight , try to build other launches for different clients , and incorporated the new insights to enrich the design . Approach Our team are gradually using the design thinking processes / tools in practice to deliver our products to the other groups . Personally , I think that learning launch is a very strong tool to be implemented in every design and development processes . It helps in order to more actively adapts on the different type of clients , manage user ’s expectation , continues improvement of the designs , and to open for new opportunity for completely new designs .

### Input: Example reflection – Learning Launch
Challenge I am a researcher in a chemical manufacture company that works in a digital transformation initiative group of my organizations . We are working closely under the collaboration with other research and developments ( R&D ) groups to implement the advance technologies in order to improve the performance of the R&D processes . Selection Under the smaller thematic groups , at some point , we had done some analysis by some parts of the Design Thinking processes . We started to described the conditions of the other research group , list up of the ideas , brainstorming about the difficulties and the importance of the tasks and then we started to implementing and experimenting about some ideas . Application For the first learning launch , we focused on the development of small prototypes of visualization tools . Here , we assumed that our developed tools could help the communications between us and our client group and also between the member of the internal groups . We tried to delivered it quickly and reported the development regularly . We also analyzed the logs of the access to the tools to map the interest to our tools . Here , we found out that the access was higher than we expected , although it was quickly going down . However , interestingly , we found out that the tools are still used even for 3 months after the first launch . Furthermore , we took the anonymous survey on the users . The survey was included the questions that mainly focused on the which tools are mainly used , the impact of the tools , and what kind of improvements that they are expected . Some personal interviews were also conducted , in order to get better insights of user ’s need . We are starting the second learning launch to improve the performance of our tools and implemented the user ’s feedbacks into our system . Insight By applying the design thinking process and followed by the learning launch , our team was able to identify the real conditions and problems , build up some hypothesis , coming up with ideas , and designed a concreate launches to test our hypothesis . In this case , we found out that our approaches meet with our client expectations . Although some improvements are necessary , in the near future , our group will review this insight , try to build other launches for different clients , and incorporated the new insights to enrich the design . Approach Our team are gradually using the design thinking processes / tools in practice to deliver our products to the other groups . Personally , I think that learning launch is a very strong tool to be implemented in every design and development processes .

Challenge
As a part of our marketing consulting division , we were tasked to test multiple campaigns and approaches to boost sales and brand recognition with Mother ’s Day . The scope included a combined team of 10 people from the Strategy and Market Research divisions . The project was completed by utilizing a new digital platform that specialized on testing products through a digital community of potential buyers on a one month period .
Selection
Our selection was outsourced but we verified each participant through online activities . We selected a target of women between 21 to 50 years old of a medium to high - income households from three different cities that consumed our alcoholic beverage on occasions .
Application
We launched several activities on our online community platform so our users could grade , give feedback , learn about our product and express their intention to buy it on Mother ’s Day due to our different campaigns . There were tv commercials , unboxing sessions , image analysis , emotional and top of mind reactions , etc .
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool , our team identified our assumptions and could clearly state the changes that needed to be made and the adjustments to the communication strategy for our clients . Additionally , we thought through anticipated results , and proposed to create additional publicity campaigns , as well as design product activation events on the specific day to further increase the campaign ’s reach with interactive marketing .
Approach
The learning launch was the appropriate tool , because our team needed to find out if our potential customers were really into the brand , if they consumed it on that day , if they would be willing to buy and gift it on that day due to special promotions or product designs before an actual launch on national scale . We gained a lot of insights and could review the most problematic aspects and correct them to better the whole promotion campaign .

launch is an experiment meant to quickly test an idea and prototype .
Application
For our first learning launch , we focused on designing and establishing our website and run
several tests to make sure the website fit to launch . Our team run a demo to a group of
stakeholders and took their feedback on the website to know what needs to change before the
launch . This tested our assumption that the structure and execution were the main causes of
our workflow challenge .
For our second learning launch , we focused on training our staff on the changes and include
them to be part of the process . Also , we focused on gaining clarity about our tasks and
priorities . This tested our assumption that our prioritization of tasks was the main cause of our
workflow challenge .
Insight
The learning launch tool helps the team to identify our assumptions and designed launches to
test these assumptions . This tool clearly helps both of our team and the stakeholders would be
fairly open to the new prioritization of tasks and processes . Testing our assumptions offers as
an opportunity to improve our project before the final launch .
Approach
Our team has gone through several design thinking tools , and looking through the result we

Challenge
Right now , I am a postgraduate student of the program ‘ Governance of Science , Technology and Innovation ’ in Moscow , Russia . Earlier I worked as business consultant in my home country Eritrea . Before three years , while working in consulting firm in Asmara , an customer ( Eritrean returnee from abroad ) came to our office for consultancy . His plan was to open new business that engages in provision of slaughter services of sheep and goat for households . The role of our team was to find out whether there was an actual need for such services and willingness of residents to shift for such service . Traditionally , most of the residents of the city have the habit of eating meat of sheep or goat on every religious holidays and slaughter by themselves at home . Rarely , others buy cattle and share among themselves and very few with less income go for buying one or two kilograms of meat from grocery . Meat consumption goes much beyond its nutritious value , and is considered a good tradition where family members who have been apart for different reasons come together and celebrate their holidays together . The celebration begins from slaughter of the sheep or goat till lunch accompanied by traditional coffee ceremony . families used to do the slaughter by themselves or hire people who engage in such activities and pay them . To carry out the slaughter process at home , one needs much water .
Selection
The most appropriate tool that we found helpful in finding out the opportunity of new business was ‘ Mind Mapping ’ . This tool is very important in collecting data while answering the first step of idea generation ‘ What is ’ . As professor Marian Moore explained in her video “ Mind mapping is one of the most powerful tools in the design thinker ’s toolbox . It is used to look for patterns and insights that lead to more creative solutions to your design challenge . It provides a Segway from ‘ what is ’ to ‘ what if ’ ” .
Application
Using the ‘ Mind mapping ’ tool is important in collecting data from the ground that are helpful to answer first question of the idea generation process ‘ what is ’ . To understand the real situation in depth as well as the mindset of the society , our team ( comprises eight people with different profession ) decided to arrange group discussion with residents ( 40 representative ) followed by ethnographic interview . Our selection for that method was to find out quickly and economically the real situation on ground and the unarticulated problems of residents as it helps the team to interact with them in their real - life environment .
Since our objective had only two themes , that is , to know their readiness to give up their traditional slaughter at home and shift to the new slaughter services or not , they had no difficulty in expressing their opinion . In our discussion , first we put ‘ New Business ’ at the center as beginning point . Next , we figured out the opportunities and constraints available in opening the business . The main opportunities were found to be the availability of resources ( capital , human ,
technical , etc ) and absence of other businesses in similar activity . On the other hand , the barriers that could hinder the business were the traditional attachment of residents and temporal consumption pattern . To check out our hypothesis , the ethnographic survey was very helpful . We selected one neighborhood , called ‘ Enda Korya ’ , with relatively high income and adequate services except an occasional water shortage . The interview was carried out to know the traditional attachment and the effect of water shortage in embracing the slaughter service , thereby to verify our assumption .
Insight
Mind mapping , as a design thinking tool is helpful to capture patterns and insights from the real situation . The tool helped us primarily to find out the correctness of our assumption . It proved that our assumption on traditional attachment of the society was right . Even the water shortage was a real concern for them . However , to our surprise , after the ethnography survey and group discussion , it was found that residents valued their time much more than to their traditional attachment . Therefore , the tool was really helpful leading to an important insight that we never had considered . Though residents had the problem , they could n’t articulate it clearly until we held the discussion . The mind mapping shows that the patterns and insights captured are crucial steps . As long as the primarily objective of design thinking is to solve customers ’ problem not to show off one ’s brilliance , customer empathy is key to look at a problem from different perspective . That ’s why , their responses indicated how desperately they were looking for better alternative and they had a different valuation of time than our hypothesis . The tool helped us not only to open one slaughter house in one neighborhood , but also to open other branches in the city .
Approach
Since our consulting team was composed of multidisciplinary staff , we were able to look onto the business from all perspectives . Everyone ’s idea was highly valued and using mind mapping it was clearly stated and gave fruitful results . Since dealing with such issue of opening a new business requires huge initial investment , a thoroughly design thinking explanation could be done through mind mapping . Engaging customers at early stage through ethnographic survey is helpful to discover wrong assumptions and access primarily data from consumers ( final users ) themselves . Next time , in doing similar job I would like to employ visualization design tool . Because this tool develops your imaginative ability and presents your next move vividly especially to stakeholders who find it difficult to understand technical terms . Other tools such as learning launch are not appropriate for such cases . This is due to the high initial investment to prototype or make a small experimental test . Once , capital investment is made , failure of the business could be excruciating disaster .

Challenge
I am a member of an online EdTech department and our challenge is to improve the educational experience and conceptual understanding of overall syllabus given to students . Hence improvisation of workflow within the department in order to solve issues of specific customers and validating with increment in sales to all kinds of service offered in the online channel and to spend marketing budgets on the right campaigns . Among project scopes , it includes the marketing department , as well as the larger mentoring department along with finance and logistics department also the backend content team with IT department , around whom we work closely . The renewals team to be inculcated in this distribution of experimental project under management guidelines . The project should not exceed 30 business days and the solution should include an even distribution of job roles and smooth transition of mentoring services along working hours amongst the team members . New team ’s purpose for extra services are to be monitored in order to proceed with introduction of other special service to customers .
Selection
Our firm has already gone through several design thinking tools in order to reciprocate the new services , so we will enhance services once experiencing the learning launch tool . Considering this , the learning launch is an experiment meant to quickly test an idea and prototype .
Application
For the company ’s goal first learning launch , we focused on the execution of our online mentoring and marketing tasks . In particular , to see if we could structure our leads , projects , and processes to adapt the methods of scrum project management for all our departments including all procedural work related headings to each and every stakeholder of the organization to become more agile . This tested our assumption that the structure and execution were the main causes of our workflow challenge . Our team went through a training which lasted for a fortnight with a many Scrum project management coaches . Later , we went through various workshops to structure our tasks and processes as to which activities to be added in a way to understand for the next department to take over the previous work and pushing the company ’s motto towards renewals of our valued customers in a more agile way . These two sessions occurred within in a one week timeframe over few demo conversations with customers and interactions held to handling various case scenarios . All the above mentioned were put forth in a manual for the team to access and implement the guidelines as experienced by previous mentors and notes or tasks to be added in the same for further reference .
For our second learning launch , we focused on gaining clarity about our priorities to sort the evasive customers over easy prospects for our organization . This tested our assumption that our prioritization of tasks was the main cause of our workflow challenge . Our team completed a detailed survey of two types of customers interested due to no issues or not interested as not been given high preference to resolve as soon as possible possibly a cause of not smooth transitions happening in the inter departments . Additionally , few other stakeholders from the business development department and mentoring associates also completed an anonymous survey . The surveys included questions about the new , proposed process , understanding the process and the prioritization of tasks , and acceptance of the change , and were conducted within a two week timeframe .
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool , our team identified our assumptions and behavioural pattern of customers on which to prioritize more and urgent need of mentoring or monitoring required by departments to convert them into other prospects of our business perhaps designed launches to test these assumptions . Furthermore , we went through anticipated survey and test results , expecting to find that a more agile approach would be fit for our workflow , and that both our team and the key stakeholders involved in all departments and direct point of contact to customers would be following the new prioritization of tasks and process . Our actual results were slightly different from what we anticipated . While our team was looking forward to few changes as to distribute the workload and pressure of finding out the cause of trouble and resolving the issue to the prioritization of tasks and process , the key stakeholders in the larger marketing department and IT department expressed some concerns . Moving forward , our team will approve the approach towards the case scenario taught and experienced by the review of this insight and inculcate it into future launch designs by collating with past mentoring and transition of providing mutually benefitting services .
Approach
Given that our several departments and new renewals team has already gone through various design thinking tools and at this stage of launching or experimenting new phase of department in order to articulate the problems of customer and define to the committed promises of best mentoring services of students in our EdTech , the learning launch is the appropriate tool . As earlier taught , our team needs to review the new changes and efficient bridging of all departments by launching this new one has been achieved by our first two launches and implement this into future launch designs . Upcoming business needs to be overlooked by our past launch designs and ways of experimenting of innovation towards our better revenue and potential customers for renewal prospects .

Our firm has already gone through several design thinking tools in order to reciprocate the new services , so we will enhance services once experiencing the learning launch tool . Considering this , the learning launch is an experiment meant to quickly test an idea and prototype .
Application
For the company ’s goal first learning launch , we focused on the execution of our online mentoring and marketing tasks . In particular , to see if we could structure our leads , projects , and processes to adapt the methods of scrum project management for all our departments including all procedural work related headings to each and every stakeholder of the organization to become more agile . This tested our assumption that the structure and execution were the main causes of our workflow challenge . Our team went through a training which lasted for a fortnight with a many Scrum project management coaches . Later , we went through various workshops to structure our tasks and processes as to which activities to be added in a way to understand for the next department to take over the previous work and pushing the company ’s motto towards renewals of our valued customers in a more agile way . These two sessions occurred within in a one week timeframe over few demo conversations with customers and interactions held to handling various case scenarios . All the above mentioned were put forth in a manual for the team to access and implement the guidelines as experienced by previous mentors and notes or tasks to be added in the same for further reference .
For our second learning launch , we focused on gaining clarity about our priorities to sort the evasive customers over easy prospects for our organization . This tested our assumption that our prioritization of tasks was the main cause of our workflow challenge . Our team completed a detailed survey of two types of customers interested due to no issues or not interested as not been given high preference to resolve as soon as possible possibly a cause of not smooth transitions happening in the inter departments . Additionally , few other stakeholders from the business development department and mentoring associates also completed an anonymous survey . The surveys included questions about the new , proposed process , understanding the process and the prioritization of tasks , and acceptance of the change , and were conducted within a two week timeframe .
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool , our team identified our assumptions and behavioural pattern of customers on which to prioritize more and urgent need of mentoring or monitoring required by departments to convert them into other prospects of our business perhaps designed launches to test these assumptions . Furthermore , we went through anticipated survey and test results , expecting to find that a more agile approach would be fit for our workflow , and that both our team and the key stakeholders involved in all departments and direct point of contact to customers would be following the new prioritization of tasks and process . Our actual results were slightly different from what we anticipated . While our team was looking forward to few changes as to distribute the workload and pressure of finding out the cause of trouble and resolving the issue to the prioritization of tasks and process , the key stakeholders in the larger marketing department and IT department expressed some concerns . Moving forward , our team will approve the approach towards the case scenario taught and experienced by the review of this insight and inculcate it into future launch designs by collating with past mentoring and transition of providing mutually benefitting services .
Approach
Given that our several departments and new renewals team has already gone through various design thinking tools and at this stage of launching or experimenting new phase of department in order to articulate the problems of customer and define to the committed promises of best mentoring services of students in our EdTech , the learning launch is the appropriate tool . As earlier taught , our team needs to review the new changes and efficient bridging of all departments by launching this new one has been achieved by our first two launches and implement this into future launch designs . Upcoming business needs to be overlooked by our past launch designs and ways of experimenting of innovation towards our better revenue and potential customers for renewal prospects .

Challenge & Selection
I used visualization all of the time . I 'm a Product Designer in Mexico and usually all
the projects require work with people that have many different problems .
Mexico has specific circumstances where we need work very near to the people ,
many companies from other countries come to Mexico to do business . There 's a
good opportunity for them but sometimes these projects were developed for their
country 's circumstances , where all of the context was different than Mexico .
The visualization can be used to see the people doing all the things that they do
on all days , and how they try to adapt the thing for their job .
Application
Usually I start with informal interviews with the people , talking about all of the
problems , how they feel , how the companies from other countries try to adapt the
business that was developed for other circumstances .
After that I 'm going to make notes in “ post - it notes ” and I 'm going to make small
groups on a canvas , trying to group and see where we have the same problems . If
it ’s possible , I 'm going to try to do these card sorting with the people .
When we have the problems in small groups we can see where the principal
concentration is and we can do a prioritization of these to see where the
problems are .
Another way to do that is watching the people doing their work to see how they
are trying to sort and take notes about that .
Insight & Approach
When we can see the problems in the usual way that they were developed , we
can open our eyes for the details , because all the people all the time are trying to
fix them , and sometimes they can do or they can think they can do , but when you
see in your own eyes probably you can see opportunities of do the things
different .
When you can see how the problems were accumulated in groups , you can see
where you have more opportunities to attack and where you have to spend more
time thinking .
For the next time when I need to get an approach to a project I will try to do it ,
thinking in the design thinking process .

Challenge
During these difficult times where COVID-19 pandemic has upturned lives making working from office a health risk , my team and I like millions of others were forced to work from home . It has been a year since we started working remotely and the team has been facing ongoing as well as new challenges . For example , how can we maintain morale and high communication efficiency with fully remote teams ? Working remotely for over a year now , the team members feel disconnected with each other . Added to this was the complexity of having different backgrounds , unique cultural requirements , and different time zones . The team , being spread across three continents , was tasked with addressing these challenges and come up with solutions that enable them to seamlessly work from the safety of their homes .
Selection
Since this is a human centric problem , I chose to use visualization as a design thinking tool to help us address these challenges . It allows participants to view the challenges from inside out rather than from the outside viewpoint . The design thinking workshop , being a virtually conducted one , choosing visualization was the tool of choice for the design thinking workshop . The tool is also a great way to focus , capture ideas and see the connections that would later enable us to be more creative . Almost immediately , the team saw the benefits of visualization . Moreover , during the exploration phase finding the right questions to the answers is critical and visualization helped us do just that .
With the help of visualization or simply visual thinking , team members extrapolated possibilities that might not have been easy to think of otherwise . In the video lecture , Angela Myer rightly mentions that when we draw , we activate a different part of the brain than when we speak . Thus , we enhance creativity in ways we ca n’t use while having a discussion . This leads into more generative ideas .
Application
Once the tool was selected , the team was divided into groups of 5 members each . Each group was given a virtual dashboard . The team members were to visually describe their idea of an ideal workstation , how they wish to do certain activities given the realistic challenges such as , the use of different processes and tools , unique cultural requirements , and addressing different time zones . with an image of a regular workstation to get started . Each member could then edit or append objects or draw their thoughts into the dashboard . Additionally , we implemented photo images as a part of visualization in the dashboard . These photo images of different team members and their profile information provided a rich overview of the challenge each individual team member faces and thus helped others empathize with them .
The Visualization tool helped the team create a deeper understanding of the underlying issues and challenges while working remotely and explore member specific challenges and requirements . It also gave team members a clear picture of the need for information , what value it creates and how it effects the next phase . There was high level of engagement from team members to design a
better employee experience . The team members were designing solutions which they might be using in the future . It created a sense of co - creation and confidence that when it will be eventually implemented , there is already a certain level of employee buy - in on the initiatives that the team has had a hand in designing . Keeping employees at the center of solving challenges with the goal of building better workplace cultures paid off .
Insight
The understanding that comes with visualization of user information , such as user circumstances and user specific needs , helps improve the overall performance of the design process and conveys information to the entire group . To make this happen , the team members must understand each other´s information needs . With the visualization tool , each individual creates maps of how a team member will use a particular resource , connect with another team member and address a host of challenges that appear in day to day tasks . The tool helped team members align other ’s thoughts with themselves . It was widely believed that the tool enabled synthesizing new solutions and create pictures of something that does n’t exist .
Approach
Visualization is a very responsive and compelling tool . It was instantly appreciated by team members participating in the workshop for its efficiency and ease of use .
A key take - away for the team was to focus on identifying and understanding the problem to be solved and keep an open mindset for future iterations . You ’ll never be able to solve every problem and overcome every data use barrier in one workshop . We need to work continuously as we progress with the remote work culture to develop specific solutions for unique problems . It is critical to thoroughly understand barriers and challenges from team member perspectives so that the solutions can be tweaked , and the most pressing issues addressed .
Another important aspect that we learnt was the need to engage the right group of stakeholders . We had representation from different parts of the team . However , as the workshop progressed , we soon realized that some solutions might be incomplete without the involvement of certain SMEs . The step of identifying the ideal set of stakeholders is as critical as the problem statement itself and needs to be addressed early in the process .

Challenge
I ’m part of my organization ’s technical department in Oil Company and my / our challenge is to developed the workflow ( activity / project ) between the department in order to accelerate production of new oil well with electrical submersible pump while permanent electrical power not available yet . The project scope includes project department , electrical department as well as operation support department , with whom we work closely . The project is limited to internal resource ( budget and time ) . The project should not exceed 60 business days and the solution must include clear breakdown activity with timing among involve departments . We will focus on trying to uncover what was the blocking factor from each department , consider to be ineffective or problematic with regards to the workflow
Selection
Based on the existing challenge our team has already gone through several design thinking activity / tools and study the existing problematic from each department , so we are ready to implemented learning launch tool . Frankly speaking , the learning launch is an experiment meant to quick test an idea and prototype
Application
For our first learning launch , we focus on the original workflow and activity time frame . In particular , we want to analyze if we could simplified , eliminate and substitute project , scope of work and process to adapt the method of scrum technical project for our work ( e.g. technical review , time boxed , location acceptance , daily , specific meeting , etc . ) in an effort to become slim and time frame achievable . This tested our assumption that the technical substitution and way of execution were the main cause of our project workflow challenge . Our team attending several technical meeting with project , electrical and operation support expert . Next we went to well site to plan the layout in order to arrange in such a way new method could be implemented . These to session occurred within a three - week timeframe . We continue the process to produce a document with a clear technical step , required material and clear time frame of our new , more efficient project execution method .
For our second learning launch , we focus on gaining clarity about our task step and priority check list . This tested our assumption that our prioritization of task was the main cause of our workflow challenge . Our team completed all supported technical document , technical review , complete identification and specified of require material , agreed on well site layout and streamline timeframe for each activity . Including procuring required material and man power planning .
Insight
By implementing the learning launch control , our team able to identify our blocking factor to achieve the goal in detail . Is important to have understanding of the problem that going to solve . Succeed to understanding problem and expected goal , impacting on easier to solve the issue , listing all possible solution , define priority of the task , and set clear process step with timeframe . Finally the task execution could be proceed effectively and efficient , in result on goal achieve as per expectation and timeframe
Approach
In fact that our team has already gone through several design thinking activity / tool and are at this stage in the timeline , the learning launch is the suitable tool . It been mentioned that out team required to review the insight gained from our first two launches and incorporate this insight to the future launch design . Future launch design will be preferable solution ready to implemented

Challenge and Selection :
We are coming up with an application called “ Peace ” which would ease out the difficulties faced by the people in general . Since , people are really busy with their work and household chores and do not have time for self - help and reduce mental stress and anxiety . On the other hand , those who have time are depressed doing nothing . So , we used Visualization or visual thinking tool to achieve to a shared understanding of the problem as we have people belonging to diverse cultural background with different opinions . The reason why we are coming up with this application is because of pandemic many are baffled , shocked and have freaked out as some have lost their loved ones and some have become unemployed and are having tough time dealing with this harsh reality . The media house is also brimming with negatively which is inevitably spreading and affecting lives of millions . By using Visualization we are trying to come up with a solution which would be beneficial for everyone irrespective of any sort of cultural background and would be designed in a way to provide and offer them mental peace and this is done abiding by the legalities of doctor and patient confidentialities so that everyone can speak their heart out in order to feel light and by the help of our professionals they start feeling empowered with a blissful state of mind .
Application :
I start out by having a psychologist treating my co - workers in order to make them feel what ’s it like to speak our heart out and how relieved and relaxing experience it is and to make them understand the importance of it during the pandemic . After a few days when they are done with their treatment , their feedback will be recorded and analyzed . The use of Visualization in this is that people still feel embarrassed to visit a psychologist for help as they think it is something on which people will make fun of them . The idea is to eliminate the preconceived notions of the societies that reaching out to a psychologist is shameful and worth making fun of . The things which are very important are perception , perceive and perspective . The idea of these things are not correctly portrayed to people or the general meaning of it is not yet understood by people . Perception means the reality of life as it is without any sort of distortion , perceive means how you perceive the reality , that is , in a negative and miserable way or in a positive and a joyful way and lastly perspective means the mentality people have created by perceiving the reality and this affect their attitude and behavior accordingly .
Through Visualization why are trying to make our team understand these three things in a detailed manner and intend to come up with a solution by shared ideas and finding the commonalities in them . Visual Thinking makes it easy for us to note down all the points everyone had and brainstorm thoroughly in order to analyze the points which was given by everyone . By this , we are answering the four important questions which was taught to us in the beginning of our course of Design Thinking which are as follows ; what is , what if , what wows and what works . We discussed with our team of medical professional who have done masters and PhD in Psychology , Psychiatry and we have reached out to famous spiritual foundations to offer their expertise in order to help people . After that we had a group meeting where the idea was discussed thoroughly with everyone and we tried to check whether everyone is agreeing with the plan without any second thought .
The thing we had to ensure all the time was maintaining a common goal of designing and building an application which would help people reduce their stress and anxiety and offer them mental peace . This is the reason why everything will work smoothly because through visualization we will work on keeping the common shared goal in mind and offer whatever we can to fulfill it . Then we talked to our engineers and discussed our plan with them so that they are also aware of it and design the application
in a way that a layman could use which means it would be a very simple to use app which would not cause any difficulty to the users . It would be a totally free app as we do n’t want them to stress out and not use this app just because they have to pay more . After the app was developed by the engineers and was ready for final use , we used a random sampling of 50 people and analyzed their results after using the app so that we are sure that it would really benefit everyone . It turned out to be effectively fulfilling its duties and was affecting their lives in a positive way . This was our sign that we had developed a useful app and that we reached our common goal through teamwork and the burning desire everyone had .
Insights and Approach :
What I have learned from conducting this experiment with our team members was that no matter how different our cultural background is and that we are different and unique in every way but the general mentality of people is same everywhere . The need of peace and getting rid of anxiety is same with every people and the way it is achieve is also similar . Secondly , how important teamwork is and how it helps in brainstorming various ideas which helps us in sorting out the best ones . Though we had our differences also in between that we were not coming to mutual understanding of the idea mentioned . However , in the end everything was completed for good and everyone was satisfied . There was one more thing I learned which is that no matter how small or stupid your idea is we should never think that people will make fun of us . We should speak up and be confident because some of these stupid ideas are what turns out to be brilliant for the company . The final meeting we had with all our team members was the time where everyone ’s feedback was mentioned and critical analysis of it was done in order to ensure how we could use it for our benefit and all these helped us all along and enhanced and developed our skills .
All these insights and learning were very useful and taught me a lot of things and I will make sure that I will never pass on a judgment quickly and consider everyone ’s point for once . Then how important shared ideas are for a company and how important it is to work as a team with people belonging to different cultural groups where no one is different and everyone is considered to be the same . The importance of all these with addition of common goal and burning desire can make us build and do whatever we visualized .

### Input: Visualization
Challenge and Selection :
We are coming up with an application called “ Peace ” which would ease out the difficulties faced by the people in general . Since , people are really busy with their work and household chores and do not have time for self - help and reduce mental stress and anxiety . On the other hand , those who have time are depressed doing nothing . So , we used Visualization or visual thinking tool to achieve to a shared understanding of the problem as we have people belonging to diverse cultural background with different opinions . The reason why we are coming up with this application is because of pandemic many are baffled , shocked and have freaked out as some have lost their loved ones and some have become unemployed and are having tough time dealing with this harsh reality . The media house is also brimming with negatively which is inevitably spreading and affecting lives of millions . By using Visualization we are trying to come up with a solution which would be beneficial for everyone irrespective of any sort of cultural background and would be designed in a way to provide and offer them mental peace and this is done abiding by the legalities of doctor and patient confidentialities so that everyone can speak their heart out in order to feel light and by the help of our professionals they start feeling empowered with a blissful state of mind .
Application :
I start out by having a psychologist treating my co - workers in order to make them feel what ’s it like to speak our heart out and how relieved and relaxing experience it is and to make them understand the importance of it during the pandemic . After a few days when they are done with their treatment , their feedback will be recorded and analyzed . The use of Visualization in this is that people still feel embarrassed to visit a psychologist for help as they think it is something on which people will make fun of them . The idea is to eliminate the preconceived notions of the societies that reaching out to a psychologist is shameful and worth making fun of . The things which are very important are perception , perceive and perspective . The idea of these things are not correctly portrayed to people or the general meaning of it is not yet understood by people . Perception means the reality of life as it is without any sort of distortion , perceive means how you perceive the reality , that is , in a negative and miserable way or in a positive and a joyful way and lastly perspective means the mentality people have created by perceiving the reality and this affect their attitude and behavior accordingly .
Through Visualization why are trying to make our team understand these three things in a detailed manner and intend to come up with a solution by shared ideas and finding the commonalities in them . Visual Thinking makes it easy for us to note down all the points everyone had and brainstorm thoroughly in order to analyze the points which was given by everyone . By this , we are answering the four important questions which was taught to us in the beginning of our course of Design Thinking which are as follows ; what is , what if , what wows and what works . We discussed with our team of medical professional who have done masters and PhD in Psychology , Psychiatry and we have reached out to famous spiritual foundations to offer their expertise in order to help people . After that we had a group meeting where the idea was discussed thoroughly with everyone and we tried to check whether everyone is agreeing with the plan without any second thought .
The thing we had to ensure all the time was maintaining a common goal of designing and building an application which would help people reduce their stress and anxiety and offer them mental peace . This is the reason why everything will work smoothly because through visualization we will work on keeping the common shared goal in mind and offer whatever we can to fulfill it . Then we talked to our engineers and discussed our plan with them so that they are also aware of it and design the application
in a way that a layman could use which means it would be a very simple to use app which would not cause any difficulty to the users . It would be a totally free app as we do n’t want them to stress out and not use this app just because they have to pay more . After the app was developed by the engineers and was ready for final use , we used a random sampling of 50 people and analyzed their results after using the app so that we are sure that it would really benefit everyone . It turned out to be effectively fulfilling its duties and was affecting their lives in a positive way . This was our sign that we had developed a useful app and that we reached our common goal through teamwork and the burning desire everyone had .
Insights and Approach :
What I have learned from conducting this experiment with our team members was that no matter how different our cultural background is and that we are different and unique in every way but the general mentality of people is same everywhere . The need of peace and getting rid of anxiety is same with every people and the way it is achieve is also similar . Secondly , how important teamwork is and how it helps in brainstorming various ideas which helps us in sorting out the best ones . Though we had our differences also in between that we were not coming to mutual understanding of the idea mentioned . However , in the end everything was completed for good and everyone was satisfied . There was one more thing I learned which is that no matter how small or stupid your idea is we should never think that people will make fun of us . We should speak up and be confident because some of these stupid ideas are what turns out to be brilliant for the company . The final meeting we had with all our team members was the time where everyone ’s feedback was mentioned and critical analysis of it was done in order to ensure how we could use it for our benefit and all these helped us all along and enhanced and developed our skills .
All these insights and learning were very useful and taught me a lot of things and I will make sure that I will never pass on a judgment quickly and consider everyone ’s point for once . Then how important shared ideas are for a company and how important it is to work as a team with people belonging to different cultural groups where no one is different and everyone is considered to be the same . The importance of all these with addition of common goal and burning desire can make us build and do whatever we visualized . From next time , I will make sure to keep all these learnings in mind and do something extraordinary using visualization .

Further , those who may want to follow are often not given a sense of what their work can contribute to , or opportunities for experience that broadens their ability to apply their academic learning with real application . Experience working on a Regional Transboundary UNDP - GEF International Waters Project , in their own countries gives them exposure to a professional environment , and experts working in their field from their own country , the region , and internationally . Selection : I chose the learning launch approach to this problem by testing a low cost , short term trial , as outlined by Jose Flores in his video lecture on Learning Launches . As a Regional Project Coordinator and Chief Technical Advisor , I have authority to make hiring decisions , and I am encouraged to be creative in my work . The learning launch is a way to test an idea that has low costs and could have high returns in a relatively short period of time . It also allows me to assess if the idea is good , or to tweak where there may be unexpected challenges before investing more resources in it . Application : This trial is to give 3 - 4 low cost contracts to “ junior experts ” in each country drawn from local graduate programs working in environmental and water management . These students needed to have a working knowledge of English , and national languages , experience and commitment to water or environmental management as a profession , and a completed Bachelor ’s degree in a relevant field . The selection of Junior Experts was based on a competitive selection process in line with UNDP HR rules . These junior experts were given an opportunity to work with the UNDP - GEF Kura II Project in a wide range of functions , from administering surveys , to video - taping and transcribing international expert lectures given during the first year of the project , to formatting documents . They worked in each of the country offices of the project , and be supervised by the national teams , under the guidance of the Chief Technical Advisor / Regional Project Coordinator – me ! I met with them regularly and oversaw the assignments given to them by the national staff in both countries . The “ junior experts ” met regularly with the team , and were asked to develop creative ideas and to use their time on the project to explore the areas of their own professional interest . They were also able to meet with the more senior experts and start to develop relationships with them that will be useful in their future careers . Insights : Jose Flores speaks of the danger of confirmation bias , and refers to the importance of “ tweaking ” a design in the learning launch phase . I have realized that this is critical to recognize and very helpful to do , throughout the learning launch . The first challenge that I encountered is that not all Junior Experts had sufficient language skills needed to work with the team . This resulted in unequal balance between the two countries . Of four Junior
Experts in Azerbaijan two were not comfortable speaking English and therefore needed additional support , that was difficult to give them . They were also shy about contributing and were not able to share with their Georgian counterparts . In comparison the other two in Azerbaijan and all three in Georgia were much more proficient in English and therefore were much more energized by the potential opportunities they had , and were able to make more active contributions . This issue was exacerbated by the difference in the national staff supervising them . In Georgia the national staff is an experienced team , and they were able to provide great guidance and insights to the Juniors in their work , and the Juniors felt very empowered by this . The Georgian Juniors took on creative roles , and increasing responsibilities , as well as contributed to the overall work of the project . They were able to increase the image of the project both with Senior Experts , who were thrilled to have younger people involved , and with other stakeholders in Georgia . The Georgian team supervising them had spent 4 years working with me in the past , and I could easily see that they took great pride in leading these younger professionals . In comparison , in Azerbaijan , the national team members were new to the Project Team , and were very slow to include the Juniors in their work . They were reluctant to provide guidance or to delegate work , and as a result the Juniors often felt lost or unmotivated . The work that was assigned to the Juniors was not particularly interesting to them , and the team member charged with overseeing them was not well organized or motivated himself . On the other hand , the one Junior in Azerbaijan working under the CTA flourished and felt very connected to her work . I fully recognize and accept my failure to supervise the Junior ’s leader in Azerbaijan – and will not allow this to happen again . I am glad that I realized that this during the “ learning launch ” and for the next round of Junior experts I will definitely be sure that whoever is supervising them has the ability to do so in a positive and productive way . The benefit of the learning launch approach has helped determine what makes a create and positive sum scenario for both the Juniors and the Project and most importantly , for the countries and the regions . Approach : In the next , wider round of Junior Expert selection , the selection will ensure that all Juniors can communicate in English ( the language of the project , and shared language of younger people in both countries ) . This will help build regional relationships and strengthen professional ties among these emerging experts in to the future . In the next , wider round , the supervision of Junior Experts will be more closely watched , with the Georgian team providing guidance to the Azerbaijan team . Additional support will also be brought in to work with and guide the Juniors in Azerbaijan , including the Azerbaijani Junior who worked directly under the CTA . ( She is now being hired as the assistant to the CTA ! ) We have been asked by higher management to share this experience with Junior Experts with the larger GEF International Waters Community .
With regards to Design Thinking , I will continue to apply the “ learning launch ” approach with other aspects of the project , and I am planning on working with the Junior Experts in the next round to apply story telling as a way to reach a wide range of water users , and suppliers in the Kura Basin . This will involve supplying the Junior Experts with an iPad and a set of questions to ask water users how they think about water resources and climate change in their communities . I want us to create a set of short ethnographic interviews in national languages ( with subtitles into English and the other national language ) that can be shared across the basin . I want these to feature real people and not only the challenges they face , but solutions they have developed too , to be shared as part of our stakeholder education , awareness raising , and empowerment campaign . And the Juniors , doing these interviews with local people can ask the questions in a way Senior Experts or internationals may not be able to since these people are younger , and not viewed as authorities themselves . Plus they have great young energy ! This will be another example of applied design thinking , based on the great experiences of “ the Good Kitchen ” so stay tuned ! !

Challenge & Selection
I use Visualization 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 . 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
Sometimes I use to draw a reverse engineering diagram to solve the problem , connecting all the dots to the entire solution , so that the proposed solution is unique and complete . 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
My Three Key Learnings from Design Thinking : Do n’t be afraid to fail . Failure makes you think about your ideas in a different way . It helps you to go on other paths of exploring . Empathy . I got a real understanding about how using empathy can aid in solving problems . Using empathy when interviewing someone made me focus in on the small aspects of solving things by talking to people and listening to what they had to say . Ideate . I learned how to brainstorm in a better and more fruitful way . 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 .

Then the revised graphic that incorporates their combined feedback can serve as a reference tool throughout the remainder of their work .

Challenge & Selection
I like draw simple pictures in my casual time , but never found it was so effective in projection for my personal long - term career goal planning . When I quit my job for children nurturing 2 years already and I want to pursuit my career now . But I totally lost my directions . It was hard to just use a check list or mind mapping to reach my real goal when I already stop my career for some while . Using visualization to project my goal seems work for me .
Application After learned visualization in module 1 and “ MeYouHealth Story ” case as well , I decided to image what ’s my dreaming work and life status in 10 years later and then use a draw pen to draw the detail of my life detail . When I held the draw pen , I found my hand seems know what I want and quickly draw out a house landscape and what ’s my daily work and life in my study room . I am quite happy to know I want to be a senior consultant with more personal life time to balance in the future .
Insight & Approach I feel peaceful and have more ideas to plan for the future from now on . Because this clear picture , I have more motivation to do for action right now rather than hesitating to do anything .
Visualization is a good tool to bring our subconscious out , especially when we feel lost directions . Subconscious is not easily to use word to speak out but visual can build this bridge and translate it into very detail picture .
After I learned this course for visualization in module I and “ MeYouHealth Story ” they used projection to lead the interviewee to project the 5years health goal with picture . I think I grasp a very good tool in this Design Thinking Course .
I want to develop more on visualization as well . So I extend my study in visualization to read the book《Business Canvas》after this course . I think I will apply more “ business Canvas ” ways in my future work . Thanks for this course teaching me a lot in Design thinking area !

Challenge : I was chosen to be part of the VDC program to develop
a safety device for women . I was concerned about my ideas and did
not feel confident to share the ideas with my fellow mates . I was
worried about meeting people who are professionally experienced in
this field . Anyways I was up for the challenge .
Selection : I have decided to use the storytelling method to deal
with the presentation . Firstly , I thought about connecting with the
audience . To begin with it , I have started the session with my own
experiences , which would make the audience connect with me . I got
to know about their point of views and ideas .
Application : Because it was my first session , I thought by using
the storytelling method , I would connect with my audience
effectively . So as I started with my personal experiences to grasp
the audience and conveying about my ups and downs .
Insight : The storytelling was so compelling . People began to open
up and became collaborative very fast . I am thankful that they
shared their views and ideas and , of course , for participating
actively across the whole session . They made the event a grand
success . I have gained a lot of knowledge from their experiences .
Approach : For the next session , I will try to keep the points in my
mind and interact more with my audience and learn from them . I will
also use the storytelling method in the next session about this
session ’s decisions or ideas . I am excited to finish my next session
while keeping Design Thinking concepts in my mind .

Challenge
I face the challenge of properly communicating our key messages and promoting our products , as well as our corporate social responsibility initiatives to a wide variety of stakeholders , using different communications channels ranging from social media ( Twitter , Youtube , Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn ) and our corporate website to press releases and presentations among others . Everyday I ’m presented with new content and requests to share information about award wins , new innovations , new contracts , products , CSR initiatives and more with the public . As you can imagine , it is a huge challenge to figure out the best way to communicate very different messages and content to diverse target groups . I often ask myself what makes this target group tick and jump into action . Clearly , a good understanding of our stakeholders , their needs , values and desires is key when it comes to communicating with them and trying to get them engaged .
Selection
The tool I decided to use was the Storytelling tool , which is essentially getting across a message to an audience in a compelling way and that inspires them to engage or take action . The Storytelling tool is the perfect one since my challenge is to communicate our leaders ’ messages and promote the company brand and products in such a way that makes our employees , customers and the world take action , see us in a positive light and as reputable in the industry . Storytelling plays a huge role in this and massively can impact how a company is perceived externally and internally by its employees , and how successful a company is financially . It ’s through storytelling that we can motivate and inspire our employees to do their best work and decide to become brand ambassadors themselves . Tone , words selected , messages conveyed , and visuals used to accompany the text are all essential in conveying the story , which has emotional connection , logic and a larger purpose . Often business leaders come to us with a list and as a communicator , I have to turn it into a cause , so it inspires people to act or read further .
Application
First I tried to get a solid understanding of our key audiences by watching customer interviews to get a better sense of their main needs and complaints so we can improve and better meet their expectations in our services , products and communications . This is a vital step in the Storytelling process because it ’s only once we ’ve discovered what our customers and other main stakeholders want / need and think about the company and products that we can create stories that speak to them and show that we ’re focusing on areas of importance to them or whatever else they voiced . Since we are a global company , it was also essential to know what country are target audience comes from or live in and who they are as people ( beliefs , values , goals ) .
When I received a new content request , I made sure I knew who the message was intended for , decided on what the best channel(s ) would be to communicate this message to whether it be Twitter , LinkedIn , an article on our corporate website , an event webpage , a video , an infographic and more . Once the audience and channel was determined , I focused on the written copy , the words , emotions they elicit , made sure I hit home on the target audiences desires and interests , at the same time as getting across the leaders intended message .
For example , I recently received a request to communicate on one of our company Foundation projects and its success to date . In this case , I took the key information and statistics about the project and update , transformed it into an inspiring and compelling new article for the Foundation
website which still included facts and data . I also created a photo gallery with impactful photo captions to give it an emotional connection , drafted social media posts with the key news and enticing language that portrays us as a company that supports sustainability efforts and is socially responsible , with a clear call to action for the viewer to click the link to our Foundation website to read the full article . These were posted globally not targeted to a particular country so we kept it very neutral to ensure it would work for our audiences across the globe . I created suspense in the article by asking questions and answering them . That way the audience does n’t leave confused or unsure of what to do next .
Overall , I believe I applied the tool effectively because I made sure I had a good understanding of our target audience , took the main data and points and developed it into a colourful , inspiring story that ignites passion and respect for the company ’s CSR initiatives . I also used visuals to tell the story along with powerful language that everyone can understand and relate to .
Insight
By applying this tool , I learned how important storytelling truly is to company leadership when it comes to sharing their messages with their employees , customers and the public . It ’s also crucial to business performance and reputation management , because it ’s the best way for us to get in front our key audiences and entice them into our world . In addition , I learned how essential storytelling is in really getting your audience to pay attention and in eliciting passion and excitement around new products , events , sustainability , CSR and learning efforts . It re - emphasized how essential it is to understand your audience before you draft a story for them or any type of communication since if you do n’t know their wants / desires or who they are , it will be difficult to engage them . If it was n’t for storytelling , business strategies would most likely be left to a few top leaders , but this tool makes it simple , understandable and more engaging for all . It really is a captivating way to share knowledge and information with particular groups or the masses . And lastly , it reminded me of the power of language and how it can really shape people ’s reactions and beliefs .
Approach
What I would do differently next time is I would start off using the Visualization Tool first because visuals are also a key component in communicating messages and can help elicit desired responses from your target audiences . Although the Storytelling Tool is powerful , it should be coupled with visualization for maximum impact . It ’s true that we can create pictures and emotions through words but when we combine the visual component , we ’ve really got it made . This could include adding in infographics , photos in a presentation , logos and videos .

Challenge :
In my current Enterprise Architect life , I got an opportunity to build telco service platform . During the platform development , I have used TMForum ’s reference architecture called eTOM . Through the reference architecture I got the abstract view of end to end business process to be developed . But while drafting the functionalities of each business process , do n’t get the clear information or flow about what to be developed .
Selection :
I preferred “ Mind map ” as a tool to capture the requirements for each business processes . It helps to collect the requirements in 360 - degree view and details of requirements collected in a more granular level .
Application :
I have conducted the collaborative virtual workshop with business users to collect the requirements for each business process . During the workshop , the mind map tool has been shared with the business users . While facilitating the requirements discussion , myself and business users started providing the inputs on the mind map requirements diagram . Within few hours we got the detailed requirements which required for the development . Please find the following sample requirement mind map for one of the business process .
Insight :
What I have learned from conducting this exercise with business users that ,
• Collected granular level of detailed requirements
• Got the complete picture of how the business process end to end working
• Easily adapt new changes without affecting the existing flow .
• Business users felt that they were much more engaged
Approach :
• This time I used this tool to collect the requirements alone . Next time , I am going to make the output from this tool as test reference to validate the functionalities once the development done . So , the business users will get their validation done through the same output and they will gain the confident that they will get the platform in what way they want .

Challenge & Selection 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 .

### Input: Visualization
Challenge & Selection 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 .

Challenge and selection
Storytelling is one of the tools that I have used several times . Working in places like restaurants make you get close to different people especially immigrants and some low income people who urgently need their income to satisfy their daily needs . And this situation makes them a bit fragile when their income is threatened . For many reasons going from low season for business to economic recession , different solutions are considered by managers . They start from reducing associates work hours to laying them off .
I usually refer to storytelling to motivate my team . The reasons why I often run to this tool is that : it has a direct effect on people , you can instantly read it on their faces and their behavior . While telling it you can observe if it is going to work or not . And when the story is told to a group of people , it creates a kind of connection between them . It breaks cultural boundaries . It also gives them a common reason to fight for .
Application
I have been working in food industry for quite a long time . I heard people saying that it is an industry that is not affected by recession because no matter what , people have to eat . But my experience in different countries shows that it is one of the most affected industries by many crisis .
A year ago , I was working for a restaurant that was about to fill for bankruptcy . It was a very stressful experience , especially for my team members because most of us just took loans from our respective banks and more than half of the team were single parents . The rumors were going around . People were affected and consequently it was impacting their mood , their work and our profit . No more motivation as many questions were crossing people minds . Something needed to be done to save the boat . Even if it was true that our turnover was far below the previsions . What I saw coming up was closing our doors more because of poor quality input in term of work than bankruptcy . It was becoming very bad when the absenteeism was increasing and even worst when people were falling sick repetitively . I felt that it was great time to find a solution to save the company from our hands before saving it from bankruptcy . I just recalled my experience during some crisis and decided to tell a life story to our team .
Insight and Approach
I looked for a day in the middle of the week when most people were in the office and were ready to listen to me I just started telling a story about my past experience when I was working for a restaurant located in a metropolitan area . I particularly recalled one crisis due to the recession the country was facing in 2009 . We were not able to make half of the previsions for the year , the management at the headquarter has decided to close most of the company ’s branches . Our competition ( fast food restaurants ) surrounding us were driving our customers away . They made their menu heathier and added meal options . Given the fact that we were doing a lot of work on our meals , our prices were not really competitive . It was a bit complicated for us to be laid off out of job . Our manager and I as supervisor decided to write a letter to the head quarter requesting from them to give us some time to improve our profit
and an authorization to make some changes in the menus . The company menu was standard for the country it was not taking regional cultures into account . We luckily got the approval . What we first did is to include a seasonal meal , reduce the meals portioning ’s . Because our survey from the customers show that the servings were too big . And this helped us reduce the prices accordingly . We retrained the associates to have a better understanding about the reason why we are at work and who is paying our bills . It was relatively easy to do given the fact that we have seen the consequences on our pay checks due to reduced working hours . This brought back our regular customers , helped us increase our profit and most importantly save our branch .
When I was concluding the story , I saw the light of hope and motivation in the eyes of my colleagues and I understood that the story has done its job .
This course made me understand how better I can tell a story in a more structured way to make it more effective . This experience helped me understand how powerful a storytelling can be especially when it is well use
The other tool I could have used in this situation and which I will definitely use in the future for similar situation is visualization . The reason is that it makes all the stakeholders see by themselves what the problem is and consequently makes the problem easier to solve because everyone knows his individual role to solve the problem .

Challenge & Selection
The tool that I used is Visualization . At first I thought it was about drawing . But the truth is ,
it 's all about visual thinking and we all do it . My challenge was when I was working with my
team members , things were never clear , they did n't understand my ideas so my grades were
not that high . That ’s why I choose this tool . According to the video , the words we write on a
blackboard on a blackboard are both examples of visualization . The pictures we make in a
PowerPoint display , photography , and video are all examples of this . Basically , it 's something
that brings us beyond the use of vocabulary or phrases .
Application
I started using this instrument in a very basic way , imagining very simplistic objects like
geometric figures . As the author mentions that the more you use images , the more you will
start to make diagrams when you speak to give people a graphic representation of what you
are saying . The more inclined you are to initiate a dialogue with others , the more likely you
are to arrive at a sense of understanding and consensus . I think all of these strategies
helped me to be much more efficient .
Insight & Approach
What I have learned from doing this exercise especially with my teammates is that what we
struggle most with is being able to understand the ideas of others , which is why it is
important that everyone has the same knowledge . It is important to me that everyone on my
team will practice this tool so that we can communicate in a better way .
The more you start using pictures , the more you start diagramming as you speak and create
a visual image for people of how you are thinking . The more likely you are to achieve a
sense of agreement and consensus with people , the more likely you are to strike up a
conversation .
I used the visualization activity as a first and from there to use that side of my brain more
and see things differently . Next time you could start with simpler exercises and depsue by
raising the level .

To do so , we have a huge database of information concerning the targeted Youth . The challenge I face when applying the Mind Mapping tool was the unstructured outdated Data . However , I worked hard to try and identify patterns in the Data to find a group of Youth with a specific set of skills to be part of a voluntary opportunity .
Application : I chose the Mind Mapping Tool to address my challenge because it allowed me to brainstorm and find ways to restructure my data . I started by quickly scanning and identifying the exact skills I need my volunteers to have to comply for the volunteering opportunity , and then Mapped out the Database , filtering data accordingly to shrink down the sample of possible Youth to be selected .
Once I had a reasonable sample number , I created a simple Map of skills and simple questions to ask to categorize data and reach a final list of candidates .
I shared the process with a couple of colleagues to create a small team and work on this task together , we sat down and had a quick brainstorming / Discussion session to make sure the Mapped out criteria were addressing all points and skills needed and then moved into application .
Insight and Approach : What I ’ve learned using this tool was that having a clear set map or plan makes analyzing data much easier which in its roles help in achieving my accurate desired results . It also helps working in a team and exchanging thoughts and ideas , it opens up your mind to new ideas and encourages creativity in tools and methods chosen to address certain challenges .
We ended up choosing a number of volunteers real quick with the needed skills to be part of this volunteering opportunity in no time , from a database that has old Data and is completely unstructured and also helped in creating a structure for the same Database .
I have found this tool very useful , and will definitely be utilizing the other tools for future challenges .

Everyday my friend and I always dreamt about training our body , sweating coming from a gym . But it is sad because in our area there is no fitness gym , so we have to travel miles to access a gym . I was thinking it will be a good business because there will be no competition in our place . so I shared a plan with my friend to have a FITNESS GYM .
Selection .
WE decided to do the learning launch toll so that we can have insights of gym owners for their advice and to know my costumers needs and wants .
Application
First , our target clients are everyone(teenagers / adults ) because as we observed many in our town are loafers and lollygag , we want to know if they would want to know if they will spend time in a gym instead of doing nothing .
Second is to know the most basic and affordable starting equips . So we visited some gym owners NEAR town to have their experience in the business .
Insight
By applying launch toll , we learned that people want a place to be comfortable and exercise
We also learn that some equips can be made cheaper so we do n't need to buy them and place where to purchase affordable equipment
Approach
Given that this will be our first business , Learning launch toll is helpful for us to understand more what our customers need / want and what we can provide .
It also helps us to have the experience of some owners to broaden our mind to not make the same mistakes and do some good advice .

Challenge and Selection
I am a member of WEMA BANK , a global Non Profit Organisation which aims to make the world a better place using Entrepreneurial action . We target the forgotten and underprivileged parts of the society . In undertaking such projects the most utilitarian approach is an empathetic one . Thus , the design tool of Storytelling often comes handy and opens up more human centred and probability driven avenues . When something as crucial and intimate as mean of livelihood is concerned we need to put the people and their experiences front and center . Storytelling makes it evident that we are familiar with their problems by taking the listener along on their journey . It creates a psychological bond and assists us in reading between the lines . The insights and intricacies provided by this further helps us in building the right strategy for dealing with the problems these people face .

One of the projects that we undertook in the organisation , Premera Blue Cross , focused on the women dwelling in a nearby slum area . We realised that the people residing their lacked even the basic necessities such as books , clothes , etc . Owing to a dynamic intercollegiate collaboration we were able to accumulate a good amount of resources for a distribution drive in that area . But , during the early stage of the drive we realised that the participation by the people in the drive was n’t as active as we expected . Despite the fact that they evidently required those things and everything we offered to them was in good shape something deterred them from accepting it . I decided to take on a more personal approach to understand the reason behind their demeanour and along with some team members went from house to house to talk to the residents . I sat with them and shared a personal account about how my father too had a humble beginning but worked his way to the goal after some help from his teachers . Now that the gap was bridged they shared their side of the story and what bothered them .
Insight
They realised that I was acquainted with their position they opened up about how they too wished to work sustainably for a living rather than hoarding items for free through donation drives . It was clear from the multiple conversations that their principles did not allow them to take those things for free and they longed for an alternative approach that would mentally put them at ease . I deduced that if and only if they give us something in return for the goods would they achieve a sense of accomplishment , a belief that they have earned what they received . Since money was definitely not the option due to their financial condition we decided to harness the creativity and spirit of the unemployed women of these households . We offered to teach them how to stitch bags from discarded pieces of cloth . We set - up a small business for them in which they could stitch those cloth bags and provided them with a supply chain for selling them at a good rate and gain profit . Thereby giving them what they needed , a sustainable means of livelihood .
Approach
This episode greatly impacted us in how we handled projects and challenges fro them on . Rather than a typically analytical and safe approach we decided to keep the needs of the stakeholders at the highest priority and built our idea around it . We surfaced our assumptions based on the comprehensive customer data available through Storytelling instead of what we felt was right for them . The insights gained and the knowledge shared by the people being affected the most by the project is one of the most important tool for innovation .

### Input: Reflection - Storytelling
Challenge and Selection
I am a member of WEMA BANK , a global Non Profit Organisation which aims to make the world a better place using Entrepreneurial action . We target the forgotten and underprivileged parts of the society . In undertaking such projects the most utilitarian approach is an empathetic one . Thus , the design tool of Storytelling often comes handy and opens up more human centred and probability driven avenues . When something as crucial and intimate as mean of livelihood is concerned we need to put the people and their experiences front and center . Storytelling makes it evident that we are familiar with their problems by taking the listener along on their journey . It creates a psychological bond and assists us in reading between the lines . The insights and intricacies provided by this further helps us in building the right strategy for dealing with the problems these people face .

Challenge
I work for organization which works on product development . We have internal customer who request for design and development task for different product . Our core responsibility is to complete the task on time with best quality . This work is continuing from long time and now the stage has reached where first time quality and on time delivery became an unsaid need of the customer . To satisfy the customer each team needs to provide extra information for the task ( e.g. additional concepts , additional change , and product manufacturing analysis ) then what is asked . So , we all figured that there is requirement to change the culture from value addition to value creation .
Tool Selection
Our department formed a team to figure out the ways to change the teammate ’s mindset . So , we decided to study different design thinking tools / activities to achieve the goal and mind mapping tool was finalized . Basically the intent was to shift the orbit from usual way of working to value creation , where the stakeholder will understand the technical capabilities of this department . To change the culture , first we need to understand the current situation and why this shift is not happening easily . Also to figure how much effort will be required to reach the desired stage .
Application
Before changing the mindset assigned team wants to understand the reason and different area where department is supporting . Potential areas where the changes and shift is must .
To start we call for one representative from each team in our department and he / she to collect the data related to current work element and domain being handled by their team . In an auditorium we displayed all work elements for our department and invited leadership / stakeholder to visit and suggest the expectation for these topics . Certainly after that we created the pictorial description for all points , considering the expectation from stakeholder .
Later we invited all team members to come and visit the auditorium with sticky notes and paste it over work stream which has scope for improvement with the reasons as per their thoughts . Sequentially we separated the improvement areas and invited all the participants for further discussion . Participants made some observations and discussing over their point provided the hidden insight and intent behind the idea . Finally connecting all the points , we came across the actual requirement from teams which required modification to shift their mindset .
Insight
By using the mind mapping tool , our function identified it not always employee who needs to change but organization needs to change their process to motivate team mates to accept the culture . Our derived solution for cultural was different from what was expected . Also this mind- mapping changed the conventional mindset of stakeholders . Achieving goal is important aspect for any project but
deciding the path for achieving that is critical . This tool clarified the changes required from process and peoples both .
Approach
The scenario in my department was at what is stage and needed to deep dive into data available with different team . Also everyone consent needs to be known for keeping everyone onboard for shift . Instead of making the change top - down approach , we wanted to engage everyone to co - create the shift and give everyone the feeling of ownership . Therefore , mind mapping tool completely justified the purpose and in not more than three month people started suggesting alternate best solution rather than delivery the output needed .

Before the regulation , the speed of the internet was limited after you reached to some amount of specific quota . As an example , let ’s say I have a tariff 50 GB with 24 Mbps speed internet . Although I ’ve spent the 50 GB internet , I was still able to use internet ( because I have an unlimited tariff ) . However , my speed would be decreased . After that regulation , the speed wo n’t decrease anymore . The challenge was ; launching this big news with an impressive way to catch consumer ’s attention in order to higher our brand awareness and gain new customers . However , we were always high - speed internet concept on our communication . We needed a different approach . We made a small research . We talked to people and start thinking why we need high - speed internet . If our internet speed slows down , what happens ? What do we do mostly online ? The result was we mostly watch videos , use social media , watch movies and listen music . In brief , we consume contents . At that time , what the mostly content consumed was funny cat videos . We also learned that because of the economic problems people started to spend more time at home watching movies on Netflix etc . The news was big and we wanted to share this news in a positive and effective way . Thus , we wanted to use storytelling tool by putting us in our consumers ’ shoes and show what the high - speed internet will cause . Application Technology is developing and internet is getting faster . So , consumer wants faster internet in order to consume more content and also faster internet leads to more content consumption . There is a dual relationship between content consumption and high - speed internet . So we used storytelling tool and tell our story on the consumers ’ point of view about freely content consumption with a high - speed internet . There were two neighbors . One neighbor living upstairs owns our fiber internet product . The other one living down stairs suddenly realizes that cats were dropping from the ceiling . The couple was shocked and confused . He climbs stairs in order to find out what is going on . Once the upstairs neighbor opens the door , downstairs neighbor sees lots of internet contents like social media influencers , social media signs , movie characters , game characters and etc . The upstairs neighbor says “ I do n’t turn off my internet because my fiber internet is high - speed and limitless . ” Our slogan was “ To make your home full of internet content , our fiber internet is limitless from now on ” . We also made some short ads too saying that ; “ watch and watch and watch , your internet is limitless ” “ listen and listen your music … Your internet wo n’t come to an end ” etc .
Insight & Approach Our insight was people started to spend most of their time at home consuming content like watching movies online , watching videos on Youtube , listening music online etc . They needed high - speed internet to consume content . However , their speed was lower after consuming a limited quota . So they was used to it , but with the new regulation this problem will be over . It was a regulation , so all the company ’s services will be better . However , if we launch our campaign first , add a value and tell this news with a story , we ’ll be more effective than the competitors . We used insights of the consumers to shape our story and tell them our fiber internet service lets you free . You are limitless on high - speed internet . We also offer them free usage of some social media product meaning even if you use internet with quota , using these specific products wo n’t affect / lower your quota . It was our added value . Consumers liked our new approach and ad very much . Our internet product sales , brand awareness increased .

Challenge & Selection
The tools I used were Brainstorming and Concept Development ; the business in which they were implemented is a Shoe Store located in a rural town with a population of 5000 people . The economy of the town is mostly based on agriculture activities . The Shoe Store main focuse was to cover the local needs that are not in syncrony with the fashion in other parts of the country . Currently we are selling only work shoes but after applying the tools we will offer a larger variety of models and also , we will offer a credit system to allow people to have the product quickly and with affordable payments .
The challenges we face are that the population is very conservative , they are not interested in fashion products so we must be very careful when introducing new shoes models . The average income is very low and that was another factor to consider : the shoes that we can sell should be not very expensive and yet high quality . Another challenge is the fact that there is a city 20 miles away with a considerable number of shoe stores where the people can go and find what they need if they do not get it locally .
Brainstorming tool helped us to generate real ideas to choose and introduce new models in order to cover other needs not only work related . The Concept Development tool helped us to evaluate and structure the ideas coherently with the aim of generating steady sales through the year and get closer to our customers and cover their needs without them having to travel to the city .
Application
We started the brainstorming with the help of customers , whom I questioned them what type of shoes was of their interest during the year . Also , we made a question about satisfaction of our service including the credit system . We organized the ideas by dates with specific shoe demand , for example starting school year , raining season , winter , Christmas , etc . Different ways to generate publicity were also identify , for example mouth to mouth marketing , among others .
Finally we generated , analyzed and identified the ideas that really help us to achieve our goal . We are currently in the next stage Testing Assumption where we have seen a positive response from our customers .
Insight & Approach
I have learned that we must be in constant communication with our customers to know their needs , but we need to constantly learn about new trends to offer to our customers . Many times the lack of such tools or the fear of failure prevents us innovate in our business . It is also important to hear the voice of the customer .
The Brainstorming and Concept Development tools helped us generate several hypotheses to impulse our business without affecting our core of customers and increasing our sales . Surely we still have ideas to work in long term . But for now we have to keep going with the ideas that we are currently testing to know the wows for our customers .

Challenge As internal IT supplier of an education holding with several affiliated ( higher ) education companies ( particularly private universities and vocational schools ) , I recently got involved with the relaunch of the website for one of our largest subsidiaries . The existing website was developed within only two months by a team leaving the organization within days after the launch six months ago . Once online , the website turned out not to have undergone proper testing , lacked important content , had a horrible translation and was built on a very poor technical infrastructure . The website also particularly lacked a clear customer focus and efficient conversion paths . Instead , it reflected a complicated internal organizational structure with multiple sub - brands , external sub - sites and no clear communication channels . As a result , the website became a disaster in terms of ranking / visibility , user experience , content quality and – above all – conversion .
A relaunch seemed the only way to fix all this and the board asked a new group of marketing employees from the different sub - brands to develop a concept for a website relaunch which should be completed within three months . The board asked me to support this project with my technical expertise ( and my marketing experience from earlier positions ) .
It quickly became apparent , that the project not only lacked a clear setup and structure but that the mindset of the people involved would result in a website similar to the last one … with sub - brands fighting over user attention , no integrated communication approach and a lack of clear and straightforward conversion paths . My challenge was ( and is ) to avoid this and support the team in creating a “ better ” website by rethinking their existing marketing approaches .
Selection I decided that the mind mapping tool ( https://www.coursera.org/learn/uva-darden-design-thinking- innovation / lecture / lsFRa / mind - mapping - tool ) might be a good option to visualize common interests of the units and behaviors of different user groups ( e.g. prospective students , parents , students , alumni , teachers , teaching staff , job seekers , etc . ) and thus foster the project groups attention to developing a joint approach for the website . As we already had substantial data on the user behaviors and preferences ( e.g. from website analytics , evaluations , interviews and anecdotical evidence ) , clustering information from these sources and connecting relevant data points seemed a logical next step .
Application In a first step , I asked all projects team members to prepare the kick - off meeting by collecting and reviewing relevant information like user behavior on the website ( incl . online analytics , adword campaign results ) , surveys , competition analysis and interviews with key stakeholders . Each member was also asked to present his / her analysis at the beginning of the meeting and highlighted important insights .
During the presentations , every member was asked to note relevant aspects on post - its and collected them . We then discussed and identified overarching aspects for the design of successful websites ( e.g. focus groups , user behavior , devices , interests , aims of the website , etc . ) and wrote them on a
white board . Afterwards , each member presented their post - its , we discussed the aspects and clustered them around the focal points on the white board .
Insight & Approach It soon became apparent that some of the project members had a pretty fixed mindset and strong organizational focus ( partly because they had been involved in earlier website projects for the group and had a long affiliation with the sub - brands ) . Although some of the products ( education programs ) were rather similar and thus relevant for identical user groups , these group members tried to establish a structure that would only bring theirs brands products to the customer ’s attention .
Only when I highlighted the strong interest of our board for cross - brand collaboration and a unified approach did these members open and started applying a “ what if there were no organizational structures ” approach . Once the Gordian Knot was cut , however , the team started adopting a new perspective and developed a very promising first concept for the website relaunch .
Other than expected from the board , however , key findings from the meeting were that the development of the new website would require several organizational adjustments and a more detailed analysis of interfaces and possibilities for joint product initiatives . Also , the group identified the lack of a coherent brand strategy to be a major hurdle for the development of a new website and that an imminent rebranding ( Corporate Design ) will make developing the new website within the expected timespan impossible .
Instead , the group developed a project proposal which describes the new communication approaches , key fields of action , technical , organizational and resource requirements and decisions for the board which will make the relaunch feasible .
This result was , from my perspective , the best we could achieve : Instead of making the same mistakes again , we will now have the option to develop a coherent website optimized for conversion and test new and overdue organizational restructures .
For the next steps in this project I will consider using visualization techniques within the team ( and sub - brand organizations ) and the learning launch approach with potential customers and students via A / B testing and rapid user tests to gain additional information on customer groups , conversion paths and overall acceptance of the new website compared to the current version .

### Input: Mind Mapping in a website relaunch project
Challenge As internal IT supplier of an education holding with several affiliated ( higher ) education companies ( particularly private universities and vocational schools ) , I recently got involved with the relaunch of the website for one of our largest subsidiaries . The existing website was developed within only two months by a team leaving the organization within days after the launch six months ago . Once online , the website turned out not to have undergone proper testing , lacked important content , had a horrible translation and was built on a very poor technical infrastructure . The website also particularly lacked a clear customer focus and efficient conversion paths . Instead , it reflected a complicated internal organizational structure with multiple sub - brands , external sub - sites and no clear communication channels . As a result , the website became a disaster in terms of ranking / visibility , user experience , content quality and – above all – conversion .
A relaunch seemed the only way to fix all this and the board asked a new group of marketing employees from the different sub - brands to develop a concept for a website relaunch which should be completed within three months . The board asked me to support this project with my technical expertise ( and my marketing experience from earlier positions ) .
It quickly became apparent , that the project not only lacked a clear setup and structure but that the mindset of the people involved would result in a website similar to the last one … with sub - brands fighting over user attention , no integrated communication approach and a lack of clear and straightforward conversion paths . My challenge was ( and is ) to avoid this and support the team in creating a “ better ” website by rethinking their existing marketing approaches .
Selection I decided that the mind mapping tool ( https://www.coursera.org/learn/uva-darden-design-thinking- innovation / lecture / lsFRa / mind - mapping - tool ) might be a good option to visualize common interests of the units and behaviors of different user groups ( e.g. prospective students , parents , students , alumni , teachers , teaching staff , job seekers , etc . ) and thus foster the project groups attention to developing a joint approach for the website . As we already had substantial data on the user behaviors and preferences ( e.g. from website analytics , evaluations , interviews and anecdotical evidence ) , clustering information from these sources and connecting relevant data points seemed a logical next step .
Application In a first step , I asked all projects team members to prepare the kick - off meeting by collecting and reviewing relevant information like user behavior on the website ( incl . online analytics , adword campaign results ) , surveys , competition analysis and interviews with key stakeholders . Each member was also asked to present his / her analysis at the beginning of the meeting and highlighted important insights .
During the presentations , every member was asked to note relevant aspects on post - its and collected them . We then discussed and identified overarching aspects for the design of successful websites ( e.g. focus groups , user behavior , devices , interests , aims of the website , etc . ) and wrote them on a
white board . Afterwards , each member presented their post - its , we discussed the aspects and clustered them around the focal points on the white board .
Insight & Approach It soon became apparent that some of the project members had a pretty fixed mindset and strong organizational focus ( partly because they had been involved in earlier website projects for the group and had a long affiliation with the sub - brands ) . Although some of the products ( education programs ) were rather similar and thus relevant for identical user groups , these group members tried to establish a structure that would only bring theirs brands products to the customer ’s attention .
Only when I highlighted the strong interest of our board for cross - brand collaboration and a unified approach did these members open and started applying a “ what if there were no organizational structures ” approach . Once the Gordian Knot was cut , however , the team started adopting a new perspective and developed a very promising first concept for the website relaunch .
Other than expected from the board , however , key findings from the meeting were that the development of the new website would require several organizational adjustments and a more detailed analysis of interfaces and possibilities for joint product initiatives . Also , the group identified the lack of a coherent brand strategy to be a major hurdle for the development of a new website and that an imminent rebranding ( Corporate Design ) will make developing the new website within the expected timespan impossible .
Instead , the group developed a project proposal which describes the new communication approaches , key fields of action , technical , organizational and resource requirements and decisions for the board which will make the relaunch feasible .
This result was , from my perspective , the best we could achieve : Instead of making the same mistakes again , we will now have the option to develop a coherent website optimized for conversion and test new and overdue organizational restructures .
For the next steps in this project I will consider using visualization techniques within the team ( and sub - brand organizations ) and the learning launch approach with potential customers and students via A / B testing and rapid user tests to gain additional information on customer groups , conversion paths and overall acceptance of the new website compared to the current version .

STREET_ADDRESS - A full or partial street address that is associated with the student, such as their home address. | Students valued experiential learning through hands - on activities and exercises to use concepts learned in class . For example , to practice needs assessment and the rich qualitative methods of observation and interviews , an early course exercise focused on handwashing with soap or Hand sanitizer , an important challenge both in the U.S. and in the developing world . Students observed local handwashing practices . They noticed changes in behavior once the observer was recognized , documented the associated facilities and interviewed users . Students learned not only how to collect qualitative and quantitative data but also how to understand the users ’ most important challenges and needs and communicate these insights . They also learned to gain insights from the contradictions between what people say ( e.g. , they say they wash their hands for 20 seconds with soap ) and what they do ( e.g. , they are observed to wash hands with no soap for only 10 seconds ) . Students also enjoyed the cookstove case study , in which teams tested several stove designs to cook a large pot of rice . Cookstoves make a good case study for development technology design and deployment as half of the world ’s population cooks on dirty and inefficient stoves [ 40 ] . On each team , students acted as participant observers ( that is , cooks ) , focusing on the user experience ; as design researchers , gathering observational data ; or as data analysts , collecting temperature information using thermocouple sensors .
“ What seemed like a very simple task ( lighting a fire and boiling rice ) turned out to be much more challenging than anticipated . Our success could be attributed to resources which the typical user would not have . The experience was enjoyable , in part because it was for class and not for our family ’s livelihood . ”

Challenge and Selection
I am a part of motorcycle safety study and engineering team of my organisation . Having used a number of design thinking activities / tools we obtained a lot of data relating to motorcycle rider safety and some reasons as to why there involved high stakes in a motorcycle crash . We set out to study and record data at the point of crash to analyse and come up with an idea / concept to reduce motorcycle crashes . It was required that the solution be conceptualized within a span of 6 months and cater to all types of motorcycle riders .
We were required to carry out fast and cheap experiments in a controlled environment to understand and test assumptions made in the study . We used the learning launch tool for the same and considered inputs from all stakeholders to remove any confirmation bias .
Application
In a number of iterations of learning launch , we performed cheap experiments in lab / controlled environment to assess and remove any disconfirming facts in the idea / concept that the team came up with . We included members from different teams of our organisation to provide inputs from their perspective towards the idea , some of whom acted as sceptics providing crucial insights that otherwise would have went unnoticed .
Insight and Approach
The learning launch tool helped to test assumptions and prove some wrong in the process . Using the learning launch tool helped to look at the problem at hand in a very different angle . Actual results led to conclude that a majority of crashes happened due to distracted riders and the fast and cheap experiments helped to narrow down on what to focus on as we proceed with our idea / concept .
Given the large amount of data obtained at the start of the project , learning launch tool proved to be an eye - opener and helped to add new data points into the scope of project . Our team can review the data obtained in different iterations of learning launch and incorporate them into future motorcycle designs . Future designs can learn from insights gained , progress made and take us one step closer to a crash free environment .

Challenge
I am member of a commercial team for a Telecom operator . One of our subsidiaries in an Asian market faced the following challenge about their tariff portfolio : they already had S- , M- and L - versions of a specific tariff with a good number of customers sitting on the L - version of the product . However , within customers of that top product there was a significant share using even much more data and voice calls than what the package included , making them pay more than the original tariff promised . Facing this situation , teams were undecided how to proceed , one group wanted to maintain the status quo , another to introduce an XL - version of the tariff which would offer ( much ) more value for ( moderately ) more money .
Selection
We needed to trial and chose the Learning Launch tool to tackle the issue for various reasons : we felt we had an idea how to solve the dilemma but there was a lot of money involved and we needed to make sure we got this right . What ’s more , we had sceptics within our own group that needed to be convinced , they also provided a good shield against confirmation bias , and we knew the Learning Launch Tool profited from having sceptics in the project group .
Application
Our hypothesis was that the overpaying L - version customers would migrate to an XL - version of the tariff if we designed it right . Our key assumption was they were looking out for a bigger package anyway , and that would increase loyalty and tenure with us , which would overcompensate the short - term revenue dip . We knew this was a “ must be true ” assumption . We designed a paper version of the XL tariff with much more data and call allowances for a moderately higher price . We selected app . 100 overpaying L- customers that we picked randomly , conducted interviews , and asked them about preferences and choices between the L and the XL versions . We made sure to include the sceptics prominently in the testing process to uncover potential disconfirming facts .
Insight and approach
In general , our key hypothesis was confirmed . The majority of that particular customer group favored the XL version ; some were suggesting this should have been done way back . They would happily pay more for receiving more value . They also rated their satisfaction with the potential XL version higher indicating a higher tenure and reduced churn .
We also found some disconfirming facts that helped us to apply the solution in a smarter way for the rollout . Overpaying customers who still liked the L - version better than the XL - version had a certain social
profile where they preferred flexibility to affordability and we were able so learn that subtle pattern and were able to exclude those customers from active communication .
As a result , the XL version was launched successfully and a large share of the formerly overpaying L- customers migrated to it plus it attracted also high end customers from the competition that we were not able to attract before at all .
The beauty of the Learning Launch tool was that it eventually combined the inputs and beliefs of the proponents and the sceptics into a best - case solution . The main hypothesis of the proponents was confirmed and created lots of value for us and the customers , and there was also truth in the sceptics view which was instrumental to come up with a differentiated communication strategy for that product .

Challenge :
I am an entrepreneur and together with my partner we want to start a new venture . The challenge is to implement payment points with cryptocurrencies . Due to high inflation , the purchase of cryptocurrencies and the payment of goods and services through them is necessary . The objective is to have these services implemented in a short time .
Selection :
Our team will use the learning launch tool , since this way we will have a prototype , we will test it and analyze the results in a short time . With this tool we will have a hypothesis and we will demonstrate it . The objective is that , if we fail , it is cheap .
A Learning Launch is a guided way of " launching into the unknown " , in order to discover if the customer 's need may be so strong that it leads them to buy your product before the competition .
Application :
First , we had to create a prototype and install it in several stores , to test if people would use it correctly , if it is easy to use and if people have cryptocurrencies to pay .
We create the prototype and install it in 5 stores . We created surveys for store owners and for users who will use the payment system . The survey contained questions about ease of use and whether you liked the new service . Understanding the payment process and feelings about the change , and they were carried out within two weeks .
Insight :
By applying the learning launch tool , our team identified our assumptions and designed launches to test
these assumptions .
The survey results were bad . Users had a hard time understanding how to make payments , and very few people used cryptocurrencies . We also found the problem that people were bothered to wait too long for the payment to be executed correctly .
Our actual results were slightly different than what we anticipated . In my country , people are not yet prepared to make payments with cryptocurrencies .
What we will do is improve the prototypes and improve marketing activities so that users know what cryptocurrencies are and how to make payments through them . Thanks to this method , we fail quickly and cheaply .
Approach
Since our team has already been through various design thinking activities / tools and they are at this stage on the timeline , the learning launch is the right tool .
Our team needs to review the information obtained from our first release and incorporate this information into future prototypes . Future release designs should reflect the knowledge gained , progress made , and come close to a compelling solution ready for implementation

The Challenge : Currently , I work as a Release Manager for my organization . We have a collaboration software that helps drive work forward . In my organization we believe in quick iteration , fast feedback loops , and responsiveness to customer feedback . To add to this we also have a number of Engineers who were suffering given that our deploys were not reliable causing frustrations and a decline in productivity . . With these values and issues in mind I was given the challenge of refining our deployment system towards continuous integration and deployment so that we can release more frequently but focussing on reliability and safety . The project team includes the Developer Productivity / Internal Tools teams . The scope of work is estimated to take about two sprints ( 4 weeks ) to complete . With our approach being very manual we are very dependent on humans deploying the latest version of our software which makes our deploys error prone and slow . To add to this issue , we have Deploy Commanders in the East Coast that are burdened by these manual deploys as well . As part of this launch we will focus on understanding our key stakeholder ’s ( deploy commanders and engineers ) needs and how we can make deploys more safe , reliable and fast . Selection : After carefully looking at our problem the team has decided to use Learning Launch tool to introduce an experiment with our deploy commanders to quickly test our idea / proposal of “ follow the sun deploys ” Application : As part of our first learning launch , we focused on introducing a regular deploy cadence starting Monday through Friday . We introduced a rotation where we would do about 12 scheduled deploys . During each deploy , an engineer is designated as the deploy commander in charge of rolling out the new build to production . Having this regular cadence would introduce the reliability the engineers found productive and it also gave us the safety we required . As part of this experiment we included Deploy Commander training as part of our new Engineer Onboarding . Secondly , after we saw the success of the deploy rotation as part of the second experiment we started introducing these shifts in other timezones such as Pune , Melbourne and Dublin . As we rolled these experiments out we regularly sent out engineering effectiveness surveys to get quick feedback on the new deploy process .
Insight : By applying this tool and conducting these experiments we gained insight into the thought that even though these deploy shifts relieved the concerns of a few engineers , most of them expressed their desire for complete automation of the deploy process . As anticipated introducing these shifts across various timezones proved to be extremely beneficial by providing complete coverage through the 24 hour period and hence we ended up calling this our “ follow the sun experiment ” . Having these additional shift also eased the burden on our East Coast Engineers . We are continuing to include various mechanisms to take . us to our final goal of completely eliminating Deploy Commanders and having the entire release process automated . Approach : Our team is continuing to use this approach to introduce tiny experiments across the various deploy processes to see where we can eliminate manual intervention . This has allowed us to fail fast , pivot and gain the quick feedback / insight we require from our stakeholders / customers .

### Input: Learning Launch - Follow the Sun Deploys
The Challenge : Currently , I work as a Release Manager for my organization . We have a collaboration software that helps drive work forward . In my organization we believe in quick iteration , fast feedback loops , and responsiveness to customer feedback . To add to this we also have a number of Engineers who were suffering given that our deploys were not reliable causing frustrations and a decline in productivity . . With these values and issues in mind I was given the challenge of refining our deployment system towards continuous integration and deployment so that we can release more frequently but focussing on reliability and safety . The project team includes the Developer Productivity / Internal Tools teams . The scope of work is estimated to take about two sprints ( 4 weeks ) to complete . With our approach being very manual we are very dependent on humans deploying the latest version of our software which makes our deploys error prone and slow . To add to this issue , we have Deploy Commanders in the East Coast that are burdened by these manual deploys as well . As part of this launch we will focus on understanding our key stakeholder ’s ( deploy commanders and engineers ) needs and how we can make deploys more safe , reliable and fast .

Challenge I 've been working as a Project Manager in the last 10 years mainly in the aerospace sector with a gap in the Insurance sector . I have a background in mechanical engineering , management and traditional waterfall project management . Since my role is mainly understanding needs and unite people to generate ideas and concepts to deliver working solutions , all tools that can potentiate effectiveness and collaboration are much appreciated ! I have been noticing in the last years that lack of alignment and/or synchronism can be a hurdle whilst working and managing projects . If highly skilled people are not delivering excellent results , new tools shall be pursued . Selection The course video animations that show a person thinking / saying a " triangle " and the audience understanding " squares " and " circles " fully represent the obstacle that I often face . Visualisation tools , when well used , help in enhancing the odds of effective communication on one hand , and on the other to create engagement and connection between people . This is key for the projects I manage . Application Words and mathematical formulas are communication tools with “ proven record ” . Making use of visualization tools helped me raise the bar in the way I communicate and foster communication . I discovered visualisation aids through a “ kaisen ” change programme . The goal behind it was improving transparency and having a shared vision . This goal was accomplished through whiteboards with drawings and data , stickers on the floor , Red Amber Green flags , and other artifacts . After taking this course I tried to make more use of visualisation tools and in a more conscient fashion . I used them in different project phases , from initiation phases I invited my colleagues to use drawings to represent their concepts ; during planning I added more diagrams and powerpoints with photographs to what usually are verbal communications ; and in closing one project I used mindmapping to collect lessons learned by grouping them with colours . Insight I experience that using visualization tools have an effect that I can express as accessing more brain layers , more capacity . Ideas flow faster and most important of all , collective intelligence is better accessed . Although the tests were reduced , I feel the added value was significant , especially on the human side . Approach After taking this course I feel that I just discovered a whole new toolbox , being visualisation one of the tools . Before trying other tools , I would appreciate to continue exploring this one , for I feel that results may get better consolidated after gaining some more experience .

Challenge & Selection
The firs tool in my practical application was actually Visualization tool ( also called Visual Thinking ) just because of my “ type of thinking ” it was the most understandable for me – I am a kind of visual learner , it ’s easier for me to get the information through schemes , graphs , charts or different drawings like a picture of a straw man , so the Visualization tool , which contains the mostly detailed graphic ( drawn ) information is the most appropriate for my case .
I usually use it in my academic life in various projects with my groupmates to understand not only the basic ideas of our future connection and work but for getting the full disclosure of their view of the intended result . Such actions give me the ability to restructure the plan of work or the project at all to achieve better results and to learn more about the process , the people I work with and to obtain useful knowledge for the future .
Application
I start the process with making my own view in the format of charts , graphs . Usually it consists of the central part , containing the main problem or question of the project , for example , the definition and elements of corporate finance . For the better detailing the full scheme I will dwell upon available information : it may be articles , monographs , student books , the “ basic ” literature about the necessary theme , etc . – so the every material I can get to make my visualization comprehensive .
If the situation allows to use the Venn diagram , I ’ll do it . The Venn diagram is the chart of some combined sets of the current object , usually of three . The options that meet all three requirements will be in the center , at the intersection of all sets . These are the most successful and stable solutions . I can draw the Venn diagram on a flipchart or on a piece of paper to get the sense of connection between the question I have and to make the solution . Also , everyone from my team can add and restructure the diagram – that will lead us to the most appropriate and correct result .
The final stage of the whole process of the Visualization contains the opinion not only from my team but also from the stakeholders or from the expert group , which I ask to give the feedback about the result of our work . Usually I ask to give answers to the such question :
1 ) What is your opinion about the diagram / chart ? Have you got any comments or additions ? 2 ) Do you think the diagram clear and accomplished ? 3 ) What answers / insights can you give to the questions of the diagram / chars ?
After getting a report I record all the additions and comments , try to conclude the basic insights and ideas . After all this actions my team and I can restructure the chart and fell this part of work completed .
Insight & Approach
As for me , besides achieving the whole information about the project , it ’s aspects and basically general ideas about the structure of it , my team and I get a lot of information about or respondents ( stakeholders ) – such information helps to understand the key needs and interests of people , who you potentially may work with in the future . Also you can understand what had you done wrong , what you can modify to make the disclosure of your own ideas fully completed . I got the point that for stakeholders is important to feel themselves as a part of the project making process , just because they can get the idea of helping , making something important and interesting – it helps everyone to get some happiness . Visualization tool is the graphically illustrated parts , including the stakeholders too – this gives them the understanding of their importance , because they see it on the graph ( their part , their commentaries , etc . ) and , moreover , open them the view of the new positions , which the did n’t know previously . And these points make your auditory loyal to you and improves your authority , expertise for them .
As I understood the Visualization tool as a “ starting point ” of searching the information and presenting it in the normal way , I am sure , for the better effect , for getting more knowledge from the stakeholders and making the process of learning cooperative , I will use the Mind - Mapping tool in my future projects .

Mind mapping makes full use of the functions of the left and right brain , and uses the laws of memory to help people develop in a balanced way between science and art , logic and imagination . How to draw mind mapping ? Let 's take a look at it next ! The steps of drawing mind map 1 . Take out a piece of white paper and draw from the center , leaving a blank space around it . Starting from the center , you can make your thinking spread freely in all directions and express yourself more freely and naturally . 2 . Draw a picture to express your central content . The advantage of drawing a picture is that it can help you use your imagination and express your thoughts more . 3 . Connect the central image with the main branch , then the main branch and the secondary branch , then the tertiary branch and the secondary branch , and so on . Branch is what you always associate with . It can create the basic structure of thinking . 4 . Use a keyword on each line Single words make it more powerful and flexible . Every word and figure is like a mother . It breeds a series of related and interrelated " offspring " . When you use a single keyword , each word is freer and therefore more conducive to new ideas . But phrases and sentences are easy to kill this spark . Then repeat the action to draw what you want to express , always associate , always extend . The application of mind map Mind map , also known as mind map , is a kind of graphic tool to express the launching thinking invented by Tony Bozan . The mind map has clear trunk and vivid image . It is a kind of interesting note taking method , which can let your mind stretch freely . By using mind map , we can record and summarize our own listening notes and reading notes . At the same time , it can also help us sort out our own ideas , systematize the knowledge we have learned , and transform it into our own knowledge system . In the process of drawing mind map , you will be inspired by many ideas that have not been found before . The key to drawing mind map I personally think that the focus of mind mapping is not the tool itself , but the active , divergent and all sensory thinking process in use . The role of mind mapping is more to record the important nodes of the thinking process , and on this basis continue to extend , as much as possible to wake up memories when reviewing . Therefore , I think the key points of drawing mind map are as follows : ( 1 ) Draw by yourself This is the most important thing . The essence of mind map is not that map , but the thinking when drawing . This determines that the map drawn by others is useless . For you , the mind map of others is just some gorgeous notes . In addition , although the book has made a detailed introduction to the drawing method of standard mind map , such as color , line thickness , image application , etc . , I do n't think it is important . As a microcosm of my own thinking , the key is to be able to use the mind map conveniently , rather than to make the picture more standard . ( 2 ) Think actively and call on more senses
Use divergent thinking , think actively , and put in as many skills as possible in the cerebral cortex , including color , shape , line , dimension , texture , vision , imagination , etc . , to make the brain active , think actively , and make the thinking more vivid and vivid , with a sense of picture . As a record point , the mind map keeps deepening around the theme . ( 3 ) Arrangement and supplement Thinking is constantly divergent and jumping when it is active , so the mind map you follow will not be shaped at one time . It needs to be modified and integrated with the deepening of thinking . This means that thinking on a subject requires drawing several mind maps to work out the final structure . At the end of thinking , the mind map is not a final conclusion , it should be allowed to adjust and supplement at any time , and keep the openness of thinking at all times . ( 4 ) Review often Always remember your thinking process with a picture to deepen your impression . After all , mind mapping is not a miracle . You can always remember when you draw it .

### Input: Mind Mapping
Mind mapping makes full use of the functions of the left and right brain , and uses the laws of memory to help people develop in a balanced way between science and art , logic and imagination . How to draw mind mapping ? Let 's take a look at it next ! The steps of drawing mind map 1 . Take out a piece of white paper and draw from the center , leaving a blank space around it . Starting from the center , you can make your thinking spread freely in all directions and express yourself more freely and naturally . 2 . Draw a picture to express your central content . The advantage of drawing a picture is that it can help you use your imagination and express your thoughts more . 3 . Connect the central image with the main branch , then the main branch and the secondary branch , then the tertiary branch and the secondary branch , and so on . Branch is what you always associate with . It can create the basic structure of thinking . 4 . Use a keyword on each line Single words make it more powerful and flexible . Every word and figure is like a mother . It breeds a series of related and interrelated " offspring " . When you use a single keyword , each word is freer and therefore more conducive to new ideas . But phrases and sentences are easy to kill this spark . Then repeat the action to draw what you want to express , always associate , always extend . The application of mind map Mind map , also known as mind map , is a kind of graphic tool to express the launching thinking invented by Tony Bozan . The mind map has clear trunk and vivid image . It is a kind of interesting note taking method , which can let your mind stretch freely . By using mind map , we can record and summarize our own listening notes and reading notes . At the same time , it can also help us sort out our own ideas , systematize the knowledge we have learned , and transform it into our own knowledge system . In the process of drawing mind map , you will be inspired by many ideas that have not been found before . The key to drawing mind map I personally think that the focus of mind mapping is not the tool itself , but the active , divergent and all sensory thinking process in use . The role of mind mapping is more to record the important nodes of the thinking process , and on this basis continue to extend , as much as possible to wake up memories when reviewing . Therefore , I think the key points of drawing mind map are as follows : ( 1 ) Draw by yourself This is the most important thing . The essence of mind map is not that map , but the thinking when drawing . This determines that the map drawn by others is useless . For you , the mind map of others is just some gorgeous notes . In addition , although the book has made a detailed introduction to the drawing method of standard mind map , such as color , line thickness , image application , etc . , I do n't think it is important . As a microcosm of my own thinking , the key is to be able to use the mind map conveniently , rather than to make the picture more standard . ( 2 ) Think actively and call on more senses
Use divergent thinking , think actively , and put in as many skills as possible in the cerebral cortex , including color , shape , line , dimension , texture , vision , imagination , etc . , to make the brain active , think actively , and make the thinking more vivid and vivid , with a sense of picture . As a record point , the mind map keeps deepening around the theme . ( 3 ) Arrangement and supplement Thinking is constantly divergent and jumping when it is active , so the mind map you follow will not be shaped at one time . It needs to be modified and integrated with the deepening of thinking . This means that thinking on a subject requires drawing several mind maps to work out the final structure . At the end of thinking , the mind map is not a final conclusion , it should be allowed to adjust and supplement at any time , and keep the openness of thinking at all times . ( 4 ) Review often Always remember your thinking process with a picture to deepen your impression . After all , mind mapping is not a miracle . You can always remember when you draw it .

Visualization tool .
Challenge and selection : I work with young people , teenagers and children . The goal of working with them is to enhance their social skills . I use play to develop your interaction with others . Many of them have problems with shyness and lack of communication . Playful games are the tool I use for them to relate in an acertive and expontaneous way . In the midst of games an atmosphere of friendship and healthy competition is created that allows them to feel free to express their ideas . Through games they share their learnings and help others to overcome themselves without realizing it . Application : The implementation of play games arises from the loss of early care of young people and children before a chair that will help their lives . Observing the lack of motivation I gradually introduced activities that will involve movements . At first it was difficult to adapt to change , then they became more and more involved and losing the means of interacting with others . At the end of each day I saw that they were motivated and that the number of participants increased . Insight : The implementation always brought with it new ideas that involved more and more actors ( young children and adolescents ) . In meetings with people working with the same need , we share perspectives and develop mechanisms to keep actor interaction to the fullest . As we feed back the different teachings and receive testimonies from the " actors " we understand the importance of our work . The development of the actors is growing because they are the ones who generate new ideas that are then adopted to move forward . The same people we work with propose games and teachings , which makes the work done more enjoyable because you see the commitment of each participant in each sesión . Approach : I have no design experience , but sometimes I unknowingly implement tools that I then take into part in a course like this I discover that I can boost skills I did n't know I possessed . By discovering that I can transmit to others through images and synthesize information in such a way that I can express my idea clearly and simply and that others capture it , I intend to develop this skill not only for personal development but to help others

On 2017 I want to make my wish of making a trip around the world true , but my challenge is to convert it from a dream to something plausible and real . So when I started thinking how to prepare it a lot of questions overflooded me and I did n’t know where to start . ( Problem : how to prepare it , where to start , too many areas in the preparation … )
Selection
I decided to use visualization because the huge amount of questions and information that I was finding on the internet make me feel really lost . Also I was trying to explain what I needed to my family and they thought that I was crazy cause they did n’t understand anything . So I started to draw a quick diagram of my needs and the possible solutions .
Application
I draw in a sheet all the areas that concerned the preparation of the trip , then I listed the possible solutions and the correlation between them to simplify the future process of information search .
I took a map to decide the rute and used internet to estimate my budget . As I was going through the process everything became clearer and the correlation between the areas started to saw up . I attach the scheme to this description .
Insight & Approach
What I have learnt from this activity is that when you draw an idea everything starts to clarify , you can prioritize and choose between the information collected . In my particular case it helped me not only identifying gaps in the preparation and finding the correlations between the themes of my trip to simplify the future process of information search , but also to explain my trip and my needs to my family .
As author , data journalist and information designer David McCandless said in his TED talk : " By visualizing information , we turn it into a landscape that you can explore with your eyes , a sort of information map . And when you 're lost in information , an information map is kind of useful . "

Eliminating Gap between Components – Visualization
Challenges & Selection :
I have utilized visualization for eliminating the gap between components in existing design of machine . Gap between the component created perception in mind of customer that either the part is missing or this gap weakens the design structure . With structure being in current production over years and no problems identified , utilization of straw man diagram seemed more feasible . Considering the aspects with no problem identified with current design , straw man diagram helped to put forth the need of change , possible solutions , scope , possible challenges ahead , cost and more .
Application :
Intent was to have solution to problem through cost effective way without change to existing part functionality . I started creating the straw man diagram through problem statement , current design , possible solutions , challenges , cost , scope of changes .
Within group of people working on same components , presented this diagram and had discussion on pro ’s and con ’s of possible solution . Defined the scope of changes and selected the best possible solution and cost .
Insights & Approach :
With approach of straw man diagram , this enabled to provide insight of possible solutions and also understand the change impact and identify scope as well . This provided direction and alignment with management .
Disclaimer : I have provided the above example in general terms without including part component names , part location or any of images for references due to concerns of confidentiality . Request you to understand confidentiality concerns of not sharing while reviewing .

Challenge :
“ AJ ” is a family business dedicated to the production of artisanal “ chorizo ” , which is a kind of sausage traditional in Colombia , in this particular case made with pork . The product is characterized by its excellent quality and delicious flavor , fundamental factors for customers . The company wants to start producing and selling other products in order to expand its portfolio and be able to cover other markets .
Selection :
For this purpose , the design tool select is the Learning Launch , which consist in make small experiments that test the new idea or ideas in the real marketplace . I selected this tool because I think is the perfect one to analyze the impact that a product could have on the market and get different opinions of costumers . All this data will provide a lot of useful information to improve the products and reach alternatives that are preferred by customers .
Application :
In the search of ideas of new products , it was evaluated the idea of a “ chorizo ” made from chicken , that is very common and could be easy because we already had the equipment and knowledge to produce this kind of sausage . So , we started to search different recipes to have an idea and started to create our recipe with the different ingredients , trying not to be such a greasy product . Then , the chicken sausages were prepared .
The Learning Launch was used when we had the product , because we gave some test of this to different people , mainly relatives , in order to have some first opinions for improvements and in a near future , we can do another Learning Launch with some of the costumers of the product .
In this occasion , the tool was applied effectively and since the product is food , it was easy to make the tests and get some useful information for the next steps of the plan , where the tool will be more effective because will be use in the real marketplace .
Insight :
At the end of the experiment , we detect that the chicken “ chorizo ” was a little bit dry and spicy , also , some people thought it tasted a lot of spices . In this order of ideas , we are redesigning the product recipe adding parts of the chicken that has more grease and adjusting the quantities of spices .
Approach :
Finally , as I wrote it before , we are preparing another Learning Launch with the improve recipe of the product with the real costumers , to get a more real feedback . Probably , before this , we will use the tool again with family and relatives to a have a first impression and get their approval , so the test product for the costumers will be of a good quality .

Challenge & Selection
The tool that I have used most so far , is the tool of “ visualization ” . At work , I have the role of the business manager / developer and as such I need to make sure that everyone involved ( stakeholders ) in the process understands what we are talking about . By that I mean : IT , Compliance , Front Office colleagues , senior management , etc . The previously mentioned stakeholders come from different backgrounds , fly at different altitude and use different vocabulary , and that ’s the beauty of visualization : you can usually get by without words and images / drawings usually resonate on a almost meta - level , allowing you to achieve a common understanding much faster than with written texts .
Application
Most recently I used the tool of “ visualization ” in the process of drafting a concept for a “ prospecting engine ” for a company . The company already had several tools in place for that purpose , but none of them was widely used , and the reasons for that were plentiful : not user - friendly , redundant data entry , stand - alone tools , etc . Besides aiming to fix all those painpoints , I wanted to get to a solution that would also allow us to leverage part of the value chain that can be sourced from third party providers , such as “ data of potentially interesting prospects ” .
As mentioned above , when looking at such a venture in our company , one quickly ends up talking to the majority of the divisions : Legal & Compliance , Sourcing , IT , Front Office but also Marketing , and in order to pitch the idea one usually gets one shot . At this point the great strength of visualization comes into play , and the statement we ’ve heard in the online course is absolutely correct : you do not have to be a talented graphic designer ! My sketches are usually rather clumsy , but the effect is absolutely astonishing . Images are so much easier to understand than words and leave much less room for interpretation . A quick drawing with a few arrows almost magically shows the intended flow of data , something that even a full page of text would n’t accomplish .
I usually use the sticky version of a whitepaper because you can pretty much stick them to any wall and draw on them with lots of different pens and thus you can get started right away . Once the initial sketch is done , the discussions start right away , and people can add to the drawing by making amendments with pens in different color , or add sticky notes . By doing so you can very quickly engage the different stakeholders into an active ( drawing ) dialogue and one ends up with a nice first draft of the idea which automatically underwent several iterations .
Insight & Approach
Further along in the process , we obviously did come up with written specifications . There is no way around that , but even in those papers , parts of our initial drawing were re - used ! It was really great to see that ! Whilst I have been using this tool for quite some time , I am very happy to have completed this online course and have received more professional and scientific background about it from Angela Myer . It was very inspiring to learn that the tool of visualization unlocks different parts of our brains and that it allows us to think in a nonverbal way . Thanks to those insights , I will use this tool even more often going forward . I am very hopeful that it will unlock the potential of our company – the full range of ideas of my colleagues !

By doing so you can very quickly engage the different stakeholders into an active ( drawing ) dialogue and one ends up with a nice first draft of the idea which automatically underwent several iterations .
Insight & Approach
Further along in the process , we obviously did come up with written specifications . There is no way around that , but even in those papers , parts of our initial drawing were re - used ! It was really great to see that ! Whilst I have been using this tool for quite some time , I am very happy to have completed this online course and have received more professional and scientific background about it from Angela Myer . It was very inspiring to learn that the tool of visualization unlocks different parts of our brains and that it allows us to think in a nonverbal way . Thanks to those insights , I will use this tool even more often going forward . I am very hopeful that it will unlock the potential of our company – the full range of ideas of my colleagues !

We have many very different funding schemes , and one of them had recently finalized its first phase . About 14 smaller projects had received support for a 3 year period . I had no previous knowledge of these projects , and I was suddenly given the task to look into what adjustments should be made if we were to fund a second phase . I read the final project reports to get an impression of what they had achieved , and for the most part they had been successful despite a lot of practical challenges . However , I was unsure if the report format ensured that all relevant information was communicated . I also wondered if the project coordinators were affected by the fact that they were reporting to a funding agency , and had to report a sufficient amount of activities to get their financial report approved . I was short on time , and expected to give policy advice on the basis of these few reports .
Selection and application I decided to apply a more open approach calling each project coordinator to give me their story . This was a kind of flipped use of the storytelling tool ( referred to in week 2)- not for me to sell a product or a service in the first hand , but for the users to be able to sell me theirs . Given the limited time , I had to base my data gathering on telephone interviews . I asked very open general questions about how they came about to start their project and where they are now . The result was 10 stories from the researchers who had coordinated the international projects , how the project came about , what was they cause , and how did they perceived the future .
Insight What unfolded was a much more personal story , like a black and white picture filled with colour . From these stories I could gather many useful insights that had not been available through the formal reports . I could also use their stories to more personally explain the mission of our agency , and to inspire other researchers to get into more international collaboration . The stories even served as useful input to the design of financial support programmes . For example , what became evident was that the most successful projects were based on a personal connection , a common research interest , a vision to improve education , and some form of connection to the world outside ( industry or innovation activities ) . The projects that had a little bit of all these elements from the very start were the ones who manage to successfully upscale their collaboration , and truly make an impact . It was easier for them to get funding from more prestigious research and education
programs after the first project had finalised . This means that our financial support scheme should support this from the very beginning , not necessarily perceive it as a stepping stone ( first research , then education , then som connection to industry / innovation ) . Approach For the next time , I would love to do this as a part of an ethnographic approach much earlier in the innovation process , using interviews combined with visualization tools , and I would involve different kind of stakeholders . Through this course I have realized that in government administration we are mostly concerned with implementing something that have been decided at policy level , but skip the exploration phase on how this could be done . We just do it like we have done it before , perhaps with some smaller adjustments . The course also made me realize that it is not just what kind of data you have that matters , but how you gather your data . If we had users and stakeholders involved in a different manner , using a design thinking approach , we could possibly achieve our mission in a better way and ensure more efficient use of taxpayers money . We would also be better at providing policy advice , based on what really works . Coming from public sector , I particularly liked the Good Kitchen story . I was very inspired by the fact that true innovation could happen in any organisation , also smaller public ones , if we truly put our « customers » at the centre .

Challenge and Selection
Visualization will help in the better understanding of the problem and it 'll be easier to put forth your idea . The challenge I ’ve chosen is waste management . There is always an issue when it comes to the segregation of wastes into dry and wet waste .
Hence to come up with a solution to this problem I used visualization to portray the problem along with the effects it causes . For example , if wastes are n’t segregated a piece of plastic mixed with biodegradable wastes will take ages to degenerate . Hence segregation of waste is extremely important .
Application
I started by creating a sketch which showed the consequences of not segregating wastes . It was more like a flow chart which showed the consequences of waste segregation and the consequences of not following waste segregation . This helped me to convey the problem . Using the same tool I put forth the ideas I could come up with to make segregation of waste easier . After the selection of any appropriate idea , I was able to put forth the prototype as a simple diagram too which I came up with while using this tool .
Insight and Approach
I ’ve learnt that visualization helps people to get your point of view . It ’ll help them understand your approach towards the problem and it is easier to lay down your idea . People understand it better when information is in the form of visuals be it stick diagrams or random doodles . Thus I 've understood the importance and efficiency of visualization .

1 .
Challenge
and
Selection
I
worked
with
Design
Thinking
in
a
Project
that
was
about
Soccer
Coaches .
The
Goal
of
the
Project
was
to
set
up
a
Website
where
Soccer
Coaches
could
find
all
soccer
related
content
they
needed
for
exercises
or
matches
–
for
example
Schedules
for
Trainingsessions ,
Information
about
the
newest
soccer
tactics ,
etc ..
The
biggest
Challenge
within
this
Project
was ,
that
my
Organization
already
had
a
website
for
Coaches
but
within
the
last
three
years
the
click-‐rate
had
halved .
We
concluded
that
we
had
lost
our
users
because
our
website
did
not
met
the
needs
of
soccer
coaches .
To
find
out
what
our
Coaches
needed
I
used
Learning
Launch .
Learning
Launch
is
a
Tool
that
helps
you
to
learn
fast
and
cheap
what
your
customers
want
or
do
not
want .
And
as
we
had
already
collected
tons
of
data
about
our
customers
it
was
essential
to
ask
our
selves
four
central
question ,
which
are
mentioned
in
the
video
about
Learning
Launch :
1 .
What
do
we
know ?
2 .
What
do
we
not
know ?
3 .
What
do
we
need
to
know ?
4 .
How
do
we
learn
what
we
need
to
know ?
The
reason
why
these
question
were
decisive
to
us
was
the
critical
view
they
set
on
our
existing
website
and
work
in
the
last
yers .
I
have
to
say
that
in
our
country ,
Germany ,
we
still
were
market
leader
at
that
time ,
that
is
why
a
critical
view
was
necessary
but
also
unusual
for
our
organization .
2 .
Application
Before
we
started
using
the
„ Learning-‐Launch-‐Approach “
we
usually
made
a
business
Plan ,
very
detailed
concept ,
set
up
a
structure
for
the
organization
etc .
My
first
step
in
the
Learning-‐Launch-‐Process
was
to
set
up
a
team .
Our
team
consisted
of
seven
members ,
three
of
them
were
in
charge
for
the
existing
website ,
one
was
working
in
our
coaching-‐department ,
one
was
our
digital
expert ,
one
was
me
and
the
last
one
was
a
former
national-‐coach
who
was
always
skeptical
about
new
ideas
especially
if
it
was
about
digital
products .
The
second
step
was
to
develop
an
idea
for
a
new ,
better
website ,
which
could
meet
the
needs
of
our
coaches .
Therefore
we
made
several
workshops
with
our
group
where
we
stated
key
assumptions
and
prioritize
them
regarding
their
effect ,
value ,
dependability
and
salability .
At
the
end
we
selected
one
idea ,
which
was
for
one
specific
group
of
soccer
coaches .
That
made
it
easier
for
us
to
confirm
or
disconfirm
the
idea .
The
plan
was
to
set
up
an
App
instead
of
a
website ,
as
we
could
tell
from
our
existing
data ,
that
our
target
group
was
between
25
an
40 ,
male
and
used
their
mobile
for
most
of
the
time
to
get
information
about
soccertraining
and
– tactics .
In
a
third
step
we
tested
our
idea
with
a
small
number
of
coaches .
We
set
up
an
App
with
only
the
very
basic
features .
This
test
was
cheap
as
we
gave
up
the
idea
of
implementing
aspects
like
a
contentmanagementsystem
or
a
customerrelationshipmanagement .
At
the
End
of
the
test
phase
we
asked
the
coaches
to
give
us
a
feedback
about
our
product .
This
feedback
was
important
for
the
further
development .
The
last
step
was
to
face
our
selves
with
the
four
questions
mentioned
at
the
beginning .
We
concluded
that
we
our
App
for
soccer
coaches
would
meet
the
needs
of
our
users .
So
we
continued
the
development
of
the
app .
3 .
Insights
and
Approach
Applying
Learning
Launch
was
a
very
important
to
our
organization
and
our
project .
We
saved
a
lot
of
time
and
resources ,
because
we
did
not
set
up
a
big
plan
including
all
“ what
ifs ” .
Instead
we
started
right
away
with
an
experiment ,
which
made
it
easier
to
learn
about
our
customers
and
us .
What
the
most
important
thing
about
implementing
Learning
Launch
in
our
organization
was
to
set
the
tone
future
projects .
We
all
realized
that
the
most
important
thing
is
to
learn
–
as
quickly
as
possible .
With
Learning
Launch
we
were
able
to
develop
an
idea ,
a
hypothesis
that
was
easy
to
test .
Next
Time
I
will
use
Learning
Launch
I
will
set
up
a
Team
consisting
with
more
critical
members .
The
process
of
stating
our
hypothesis
and
doing
the
test
was
very
long ,
that
is
why
next
time
I
would
push
my
staff
more
and
maybe
get
a
deeper
understanding
of
how
you
can
structure
and
develop
a
test .

time
and
resources ,
because
we
did
not
set
up
a
big
plan
including
all
“ what
ifs ” .
Instead
we
started
right
away
with
an
experiment ,
which
made
it
easier
to
learn
about
our
customers
and
us .
What
the
most
important
thing
about
implementing
Learning
Launch
in
our
organization
was
to
set
the
tone
future
projects .
We
all
realized
that
the
most
important
thing
is
to
learn
–
as
quickly
as
possible .
With
Learning
Launch
we
were
able
to
develop
an
idea ,
a
hypothesis
that
was
easy
to
test .
Next
Time
I
will
use
Learning
Launch
I
will
set
up
a
Team
consisting
with
more
critical
members .
The
process
of
stating
our
hypothesis
and
doing
the
test
was
very
long ,
that
is
why
next
time
I
would
push
my
staff
more
and
maybe
get
a
deeper
understanding
of
how
you
can
structure
and
develop
a
test .

Before completing the course , I had a completely fixed mindset . Now I have changed my mindset because there is more unwanted challenge in fixed mindset which I came to know from this course . There are those types of challenge in fixed mindset . If you guys have fixed mindset then once think about it . Now I am challenging myself to change my mindset from fixed to growth mindset . Selection : So , I select my mindset to be a growth mindset and knowledgeable mindset . I select growth mind set because our professor taught about fixed mindset and growth mindset and I am impressed by growth mindset and I select growth mind set . According to me , growth mindset is like hungry mind which is always ready to gain knowledge and stay quite like it knows nothing . Everyone wants success and best life . To achieve success , you have to do something special today and that ’s why I select growth mindset . Application : The general application of growth mindset is to increase knowledge , experience , and always ready to gain knowledge . To gain this and make something new on you , you have to challenge yourself to be great and achieve your goal . I have not applied this tool yet . Currently I am studying whenever I will start thinking about my business and innovation this idea will be applied for it . Insight and Approach : I do n’t have experience about business yes , I will make a group and start my own later . For this I have to gain knowledge and experience about that first . By completing this course now i can challenge myself at different situation and all and i will approach my destination . I will apply all my knowledge and experience which I gain from studying , seniors , documentary , others experience , market visit and all so that I can
make something different . I will apply some different and modern tools to develop and help others . Our society is not well developed on every position and situation , to develop properly in every place we have to use different ideas and proper knowledge . In the end , take every risk as opportunity and challenge yourself to do something new and to learn something new .

Challenge & Selection
Story telling is a tool wherein you can communicate complex things in much simpler way so
that it ’s well understood by the audience . Challenge here is picking up the correct example to narrate so that people connect and relate to it . So it ’s important in everyday life that we take pause and keep notes of these as it ’s a so called “ Learning treasure ”
Application
Day today we come across many challenge and manage to handle them with all kinds of
solutions . It ’s important to reflect back on each challenge as they bring in enormous learning . In life there are variety of situation and mainly those tough situation wherein we need to communicate some tough decision or to give message or convince on change management initiatives or to be customer delight in all these scenario communication is important tool . Few days back I came across and individual who was making mistakes while writing documents . I told him a reals story of my colleague , how by doing meditation he was able to improve his focus during work and was able to overcome documents errors .
Insight & Approach
Learning is continual journey and more we enjoy learning the journey becomes more
interesting and compelling . We should have patience before rejecting most of things in life as it can be insightfully and meaningful once we start understanding it deeply . Positive approach is an important assets to own .
One of friend made a successful customer deal only by staying positive and understanding
the needs of the customers .

CHALLENGE
I am a software engineer at Spanish Red Cross and we wish to design a new Operating system for the new ePhone . The main challenged faced by us is that Yusudi. is already a huge success so how to make the new operating system unique . So , we started with analysing what was it that made Yusudi. such an operating software was . This was the “ What is ” stage . Then , we started brainstorming that what new features could make the latest Yusudi. unique as well as successful . We then worked on the above given situation by proceeding with this brief .
SELECTION
For the development of this new operating system , we thought mind mapping would be the best suited tool as helps us get an insight to various ideas and theories , creating a pattern , when put together . Secondly , Mind Mapping helps us identify insights which bring out more innovative solutions . The Mind Mapping tool process starts with taking input from qualitative data , customer stories / diaries , ethnographic interview results or even output from projective techniques .
APPLICATION
We conducted a small meeting followed by a presentation in which we discussed our design tool ; mind mapping . The meeting commenced by discussing what a mind map was and how would we create one in a scenario like ours . As input to our Mind Map , we used qualitative data and customer stories .
We started by meeting in a small office with a whiteboard . We first talked about the design challenge and I briefly discussed how we would create the Mind Map . Then we moved on to analysing what the situation was and everyone put their thoughts on a board . We then moved on to the “ what if ” stage which was a brainstorming session . We listed down all the possible ideas and thoughts we could use for designing the latest operating system . Then , we grouped all this information in the form of a mind map . Now , what we had was a rough idea as to what OS would look like .
INSIGHT
By using mind mapping , we identified opportunity areas and designed learning launches to test our assumptions . We thought that our ideas are great and it will be liked by our users . We then conducted a survey asking our customers about the features which they ’d love to have in the new OS . The results were quite surprising as about 95 % of the people were happy with the new concept .
APPROACH
As we already completed understanding the users and their needs , creating insights from those and identify opportunity areas , mind mapping is a great and effective tool . Also , according to the lectures ( The Idea Generation Process ) , Mind Mapping is essential in experimenting with ideas and innovating .

There are many variants of the Design Thinking process in use today , and they have from three to seven phases , stages , or modes . However , all variants of Design Thinking are very similar . All variants of Design Thinking embody the same principles , which were first described by Nobel Prize laureate Herbert Simon in The Sciences of the Artificial in 1969 . Here , we will focus on the five - phase model proposed by the Hisham Institute of Design at Finolex Academy of Management and Technology , which is also known as d.school . We ’ve chosen d.school ’s approach because they ’re at the forefront of applying and teaching Design Thinking . The five phases of Design Thinking , according to d.school , are as follows :
• Empathise – with your users
• Define – your users ’ needs , their problem , and your insights
• Ideate – by challenging assumptions and creating ideas for innovative solutions
• Prototype – to start creating solutions
• Test – solutions
Visualization
Visualization is about using images . It ’s not about drawing ; it ’s about visual thinking . It pushes us beyond using words or language alone . It is a way of unlocking a different part of our brains that allows us to think nonverbally and that managers might not normally use .
Importance of visualisation in design thinking
Most of us suffer from whiteboard addiction . We find it easy to articulate problems and concepts with boxes , circles , arrows and key words . Recently I happened to be at a ‘ formal ’ meeting seated around a table trying to verbalize a problem and develop a concept . 30 minutes into the meeting someone had the courage to break the formality and started to draw on a piece of paper . What happened next did n’t surprise me . It ’s not the art that mattered , but the surfacing of the problem , conceptualising ideas and gaining the engagement to shape it better .
Visualisation is a core component of the way that we communicate , whether we 're aware of it or not . When we 're dealing with very complex problems , we 're enacting a different kind of problem solving that has to bring in more than just logic . Visualisation is really important for the process of Design Thinking because it 's actually a way of unlocking a different part of our brain . It allows us to think in a non - verbal way and access parts of our brain , our creativity . Most design thinkers call visualisation as “ the mother of all design tools ” , because they are used in every stage of the design thinking process .
Visualisation is equal parts listening , thinking and drawing . Listening is the input , thinking is the processing and drawing is the output . These three skills work together equally in understanding complexity , visualising outcomes to create new possibilities .
Visualisation has a role to play throughout the Design Thinking . It 's an incredible tool , in that sense , in that we 're using those tools and that part of our brain at each phase in the design process . It 's not just something that has an application in one part of the Design Thinking . It has many ways of being useful at different parts of the Design Thinking process .
When you get to concept development , Visualisation becomes incredibly useful . Your brain is creating pictures of something that does n't yet exist . It 's creating pictures of something that will soon be . As we move forward into prototyping , we get much more detailed in the way that we start to visualise . Then we create very complex diagrams or maps of how we think the customer experience is going to work ideally . Pictures and images enable us to not only help people understand what it is we 're trying to do but to help persuade them in the worthiness of that particular idea or the strength of that concept .

2 . 3 . CHALLENGE
People with severe cerebral palsy can not communicate their needs , feels & emotions
their carers . This situation creates a stressful situation for people with special needs and their families or carers .
4 . SELECTION
I selected this challenge because it is a need for society in general , even if people with special needs are not a majority or are not usually present in public spaces , they have needs that we have not solved and that we can start approaching . Also , I take this as an innovation opportunity , for big tech industries , medical services , governments and entrepreneurship . The sector has not been explored yet and it needs to be understood and researched in order to work on it .
5 . APPLICATION
I used storytelling for this challenge . In order to convince people that this is a real need and problem that affects most of our societies around the world . They needed to understand what is happening with people that have disabilities . I found storytelling the most appropriate tool to explain and describe to them what happens in a day - to - day from a person with severe cerebral palsy . For that , I contacted people that have taken care of a SCP patient , family members that had an experience with SCP people and doctors related to the field .
During the application of this , as the video explained ; First we need to do a research about the situation we are trying to solve , then we can mix other tools , such as visualization and ethnographic research and then we can start telling the story in a creative and familiar way to the people we are trying to convince . So , I started by doing field researches in schools , hospitals and visiting a family member with this condition . Here , I do not ask or interfere in their activities ( for them to act normal , not faking a situation for the project ) and then I heard and recorded the places , to analyze them later .
Later , I interviewed a mother , a patient , a doctor and a nurse , with few simple questions that could allow me to complete the information that I have recovered before in the previous exercises . With their interviews I was able to completely understand how their days pass and what needs are more present along the day . With all these , even if I can understand the whole information , I need to present it in a way that people who did not saw what I saw or heard what I did , can understand and feel the need to do something here .
I created a special canvas for storytelling , where I explained with simple phrases and 3 different moods how the patient feels doing certain activities during the day , I included hour and place to make it more clear .
6 . INSIGHT
Using storytelling helped me explain the problem clearly and without missing any detail , the tools helps you to organize and simplify a lot of information and be organized when explaining it . The most important part is the pre - making , when you need to obtain a lot of information and then the part of making it becomes fun and interesting , also , after doing it , you have a clear view and idea of where the problem really is and how can you start ideating to solve it .
7 . APPROACH
I learned from this tool how to organize the information you have . With storytelling you can communicate better with people interested in the company , school , business meeting or even with your friends or family interested . It is a tool that can help anyone understand from easy to complex situations and that even if it takes time to make , can be used to innovate and solve diverse conflicts presented when trying to do something new . That , because the information is precise and concise , it helps find different ups and downs in the situation .
The tool is very useful but next time I do a challenge similar I would use more graphics . There are a lot of graphics for tools like this one , as the video mentioned and showed , just for my challenge I decided to make quotes and moods , in order to simplify all the situation . But next time I could draw or take pictures for a similar challenge .

The sector has not been explored yet and it needs to be understood and researched in order to work on it .
5 . APPLICATION
I used storytelling for this challenge . In order to convince people that this is a real need and problem that affects most of our societies around the world . They needed to understand what is happening with people that have disabilities . I found storytelling the most appropriate tool to explain and describe to them what happens in a day - to - day from a person with severe cerebral palsy . For that , I contacted people that have taken care of a SCP patient , family members that had an experience with SCP people and doctors related to the field .
During the application of this , as the video explained ; First we need to do a research about the situation we are trying to solve , then we can mix other tools , such as visualization and ethnographic research and then we can start telling the story in a creative and familiar way to the people we are trying to convince . So , I started by doing field researches in schools , hospitals and visiting a family member with this condition . Here , I do not ask or interfere in their activities ( for them to act normal , not faking a situation for the project ) and then I heard and recorded the places , to analyze them later .
Later , I interviewed a mother , a patient , a doctor and a nurse , with few simple questions that could allow me to complete the information that I have recovered before in the previous exercises . With their interviews I was able to completely understand how their days pass and what needs are more present along the day . With all these , even if I can understand the whole information , I need to present it in a way that people who did not saw what I saw or heard what I did , can understand and feel the need to do something here .
I created a special canvas for storytelling , where I explained with simple phrases and 3 different moods how the patient feels doing certain activities during the day , I included hour and place to make it more clear .
6 . INSIGHT
Using storytelling helped me explain the problem clearly and without missing any detail , the tools helps you to organize and simplify a lot of information and be organized when explaining it . The most important part is the pre - making , when you need to obtain a lot of information and then the part of making it becomes fun and interesting , also , after doing it , you have a clear view and idea of where the problem really is and how can you start ideating to solve it .
7 . APPROACH
I learned from this tool how to organize the information you have . With storytelling you can communicate better with people interested in the company , school , business meeting or even with your friends or family interested . It is a tool that can help anyone understand from easy to complex situations and that even if it takes time to make , can be used to innovate and solve diverse conflicts presented when trying to do something new . That , because the information is precise and concise , it helps find different ups and downs in the situation .
The tool is very useful but next time I do a challenge similar I would use more graphics . There are a lot of graphics for tools like this one , as the video mentioned and showed , just for my challenge I decided to make quotes and moods , in order to simplify all the situation . But next time I could draw or take pictures for a similar challenge .

Challenge
I work in a renowned Law Firm known nationally and internationally for 15 years , I work as a senior billing and collection analyst , my challenge is to improve the delivery of requested jobs internally and externally within the department , in order to increase the result in billing goals . In addition , I also have the function to inspire professionals who are below my leadership , I can say that this is the biggest challenge to be overcome , because reconciling financial goals to be delivered in record time and leading a group of 7 people is not an easy job , considering a scenario with a lot of psychological pressure and speed of reasoning to deliver all tasks with innovative and effective solutions . My goal is to empower all those who are led to be ready to meet any type of problem from simpler situations to greater complexity in a short period of time and with innovative solutions . The scope of our project based on the 9 members of the team , considering part of the team : I , my coordinator and the 7 led , is to serve the largest number of internal and external clients , issue invoices for attorneys ' fees to customers and at the same time collect outstanding payment invoices reaching the weekly goals set by management . We will try to find out what are the flaws considered by each team member with regard to the solution and agility of problems .
Selection
Our team has never gone through design thinking activities / tools , so we 'll have to adapt to try the learning tool . It can be concluded that this tool is a quick test design of an idea and an approach model .
Application
For the first learning release , our focus was on structuring and performing all daily tasks in order to reconcile with all intermittent requests . With this , we would be able to see the volume of daily work demand added to the services also interspersed daily as urgent . Through the data , we could structure each task more effectively taking into account the time that each activity demands . The team was assembled so that it could expose its main pains and also of customers during the journey . From this information , we were able to understand and apply some specific training to train professionals more agile and ready for all kinds of challenges whether complex or not .
For the second learning launch , our focus was to put into practice and learn how to manage time according to daily tasks , in order to complete daily all activities mitigating any type of error and lack of service on the part of the operational team .
Insight
Considering the application of the learning tool , the team was able to identify that many tasks developed by analysts , for example , could be delegated to the assistants and billing assistants in order to gain more time for more complex activities , follow with the flow of billing and daily billing and daily visits with new problems to be solved . This made the work agile and opening spaces so that people could better understand their individual activities , as well as giving opportunities for them to expose innovative ideas and forms with respect to tools to be used in everyday life that facilitated the work .
Approach
Although our team never went through a design thinking approach , the learning technique was an appropriate tool , as it was a way in which everyone had the opportunity to stop and reflect on their daily tasks , be able to identify what takes more or less time and thus offer innovative ideas for problem solving , either through the delegation of tasks , or through new software that can help to agility at work . This served as an idea for future and challenging projects for our IT team that will be responsible for developing software or bringing market practices to make work faster , with an effective and complete delivery to our internal and external client , highlighting the achievement of financial goals .

CHALLENGE & SELECTION I am currently a graduate in business administration , a couple of years ago I was recruited along with 7 people from different countries in Latin America by a published agency that conducts a marketing study in Medellín , Colombia . The agency ’s challenge was hired to identify clear patterns about Spanish - speaking amateur athletes . The performance for that was awful , our boss explained about dynamic work to us , it was important to have a team made up of people from different careers and cultures so that their ideas converge at a point acceptable to all . The selected tool was “ Visualization ” due to the facility it provides when grouping the data obtained , in principle unrelated to each other , in the research , in this way associations can be established so that without visual support it would be hard to find .
APPLICATION The process started when we were divided the involved parties into a 4 pairs in order move faster and try to reduce the discrepancy that would occur if everyone worked together . First , we entered our social networks and looked at the profiles of “ amateur athletes ” . Then , if we discovered something peculiar , we write it in post - it all characteristics that we found . After that we looked at amateur athletes ’ photos and identify if they practiced sport alone or with more people and read their profile descriptions , the type of sport they practiced and their interaction on social networks . Finally , we observed the type of publications they shared and the pages that followed , everyone gathered their own database and then we pasted our notes on 4 blackboards that covered the entire room , the order didn´t matter , nor did all the information be relevant , after a whole day of jointly reviewing dozens of profiles we had a lot of notes throughout the room .
On the second day my parents and I did the next step , we were grouping agree with search for patterns within our notes and place them in places distant from each other , after several hours we managed to find patterns that were repeated over and over again , the main idea was relate information . When we finished we had a minority of data that did not fit within any profile and apparently they were not relevant but we leave them aside because they could take on importance later in the process . After , we talked about and establish five groups of “ amateur athletes ” with something in common .
So another way , we were to try put together a “ straw man ” for each one , and write down around them possible things that would define their needs more exhaustively , for them we resorted to a group brainstorming limited by the characteristics of our characters . At the end of the day we had a more or less clear idea , but subject to possible changes , about our characters and their needs .
INSIGHT At the beginning of the workshop , the cultural differences of each one were appreciated , but by finishing unconsciously , we had managed to unify the perceptions in such a way that the process of identifying qualities and characteristics was increasingly agile and effective , we didn´t seek to coincide , but each one took his notes independently since in the end the important thing was the variety of the data . However , by sharing our experiences , the cultural gap was reduced and , in a
certain way the data that was affected by our prejudice was reduced . At that time it was a totally new methodology for everyone , we learned that having visual support was much easier to generate ideas and maintain fluid communication in the group , the process was no tedious since it didn´t feel like we were working , it was like being in a room playing writing down our ideas .
APPROACH In order to improve the implementation of this tool , it would be better to set objectives and limitations such as a certain amount of time for each task , since in another course called “ Be more creative ” taught by the University of Ljubjana ( Universidad Nacional de Colombia ) , I learned that by having a defined time the parties involved improve their creative process and focus on ideas of greater relevance . Otherwise , the number of members of the group would increase to have greater variety in the information and not to leave without collecting the data that we surely left unaddressed . It would be good to have a person from the group to act as an interlocutor maintain a little more order since although it is entertaining to have the felling of playing , to have a more organized process .

1 . Challenge : I work in an educational institute . As part of the institute I deal with students ,
teaching and non - teaching staff . There are a number of activities that require streamlining and innovative way of implementing to get desired results . It could be activities like improving bonding of alumni with the students , improving scores of students in certain government exams , poor participation of faculty or students for certain activities , improve relation between the teaching and non - teaching staff and so on . One such challenge we faced was when the Institute offered two courses which are mandatory for students of Second year and Third year to attend
i. Intended to improve creative thinking which stretches over 3 semesters
ii . Intended to improve research skills which stretches over 1 semester
Both these courses are an initiative by the institute to improve student ’s skills . These courses are not part of the university curriculum and hence the grades of these courses are not mentioned in the university grade sheet . There are observations made of students attending and submitting course work of courses that are part of university curriculum but not for the above mentioned two courses . There is a growing trend of students not attending the sessions conducted and disinterest in completing the course work . It was a matter of concern because investments were made for conducting these courses in terms of resource , time and money and the outcome expected for the courses were not observed in the projects done by the student in the following year . So the challenge was how to improve the participations of students in these courses .
2 . Selection : Based on the problem data was collected in terms of qualitative data as well as
quantitative data . The collected data gave rise to many assumptions about the cause of the situation and there was a need to understand if these assumptions were the real the cause of the problem . Since we have 20 batches with 20 students in each batch for each of the semester we selected the learning launch tool to test the assumptions on each batch to understand the real truth of the problem . Learning launch help to try and test the assumptions made in short time . In the institute it very easy to implement the learning launch tool to get through the core of the problem . It helped in understanding what the truth behind the guesses made is , and go ahead with confirmed assumptions quickly .
3 . Application : So there were 40 batches in total and spread over session of 2hrs over a week
in 3 different space or classroom allocated for the same . Each batch was used to test two of the hypothesis . Some of the assumptions tested was :
i. If students were n’t aware of the time , these sessions would be conducted with greater no . of students at any time . – Planned session which did n’t reflect in the timetable were conducted which definitely improved the no . of students but with disinterest .
ii . Looks and feel of the room would bring a positive change – It brought no change
iii . Orientation of the program was conducted with detail discussion of the plan as it was thought students were not made well aware about it . – No change was observed .
iv . Final year projects were allocated earlier to the students so that the students felt a need to do the course for their project . – Quite a positive change was observed in some patterns of combination of particular batch and teachers .
And many such assumptions were tested .
4 . Insight : These test that were conducted showed that it was not alone a result of student ’s
ownership that would bring improvement in participation for the course but also about the faculty ownership . And better performance was observed from faculty and students when the mentor of the batch was taking the session . Although the team members who were working on this problem were from different domains there was one thing common and that was all were teaching staff and this had led to a biased assumption that the main problem was only the attitude of the students which was proved wrong by the Learning Launch tool . Mentoring , Project Allocation and These courses were always considered as separate entities but this process of applying design thinking highlighted how different process are interlinked . They had to be combined to improve the student skill especially when the course is a non - graded one . The teaching staff other than the mentors showed a reservation in giving input to projects other than theirs which was not the same in case of the student mentor . Also the student required to thinking and give their opinions because it required to be a very interactive sessions and they were at ease with their mentor . And students were self - motivated to attend the course to get insight on how to best do their projects for the final year . They felt they were solving their problems .
5 . Approach : I would like to use the Mind mapping tool . It looks very promising of being
able to give good insights and to observe patterns and behaviour of the observation collected . Also it would be a better way to present the observations to the management for their easier understanding .

I worked as a summer job employee of a private accounting firm during my undergrad and it
is the big necessity for the company to check the procurement especially on the purchasing of the office supplies , since my course is accountancy it is in line with audit . I was assigned in the financial department . So basically I was not alone it was team we were 5 members each team . So the challenge is the team of the administrative department needs to procure supplies that are priced low and its quality would be equal to the ones that are expensive . As a member of the financial department or the accounting department we are tasked to audit or to check whether that challenged necessity were being met in order for the company would be effective and efficient as to the procurement system and possibly save for its end of the month threshold of expenses allocated .
Selection
The said responsible team had the brainstorming as to what were the possible ways to detect
anomalies and possible connivance of employees in the same team . We experimented ways on how to do it as a group for all ideas are n’t good that ’s why it ’s needed to consider confirmation bias . Application
Following the steps of learning launch , ideas were gathered especially on how to possibly
detect problems on the said challenge . By letting the procurement team work as to the budgeting and choosing companies whom are our prospect creditors and giving them 1 week to submit it and not telling them that we are auditing in a surprise manner meaning to say we were there time to time checking the outputs with the span of 1 week . And it was every single day we supervised , to follow up the required papers and reports .
Insights
If we have n’t used the learning launch and waited for the span of 1 week without supervising
the reports every single day in time there would be a big possibility of anomalies and connivance of employees of the said team or department . And whenever we were there to follow up the results they seemed to be stiff and they acting like there ’s something fishy we can draw a conclusion to it that challenges the level of our skepticism that there was something wrong in that department . And by that they were being effective and efficient because of the said monitoring especially in internal control system of the company .
Approach
We can conclude that our team has a good team leader who communicates well , knows how
to negotiate and knows how to solve problems in internal control system . We did a lot of brainstorming and drawn possible alternatives following the learning launch strategy .

### Input: Challenge
I worked as a summer job employee of a private accounting firm during my undergrad and it
is the big necessity for the company to check the procurement especially on the purchasing of the office supplies , since my course is accountancy it is in line with audit . I was assigned in the financial department . So basically I was not alone it was team we were 5 members each team . So the challenge is the team of the administrative department needs to procure supplies that are priced low and its quality would be equal to the ones that are expensive . As a member of the financial department or the accounting department we are tasked to audit or to check whether that challenged necessity were being met in order for the company would be effective and efficient as to the procurement system and possibly save for its end of the month threshold of expenses allocated .
Selection
The said responsible team had the brainstorming as to what were the possible ways to detect
anomalies and possible connivance of employees in the same team . We experimented ways on how to do it as a group for all ideas are n’t good that ’s why it ’s needed to consider confirmation bias . Application
Following the steps of learning launch , ideas were gathered especially on how to possibly
detect problems on the said challenge . By letting the procurement team work as to the budgeting and choosing companies whom are our prospect creditors and giving them 1 week to submit it and not telling them that we are auditing in a surprise manner meaning to say we were there time to time checking the outputs with the span of 1 week .

Challenge : Describe your challenge , including all relevant information .
I work as a consultant in management and organization . One of my clients asked me to analyze its activity to design a new system of information . After some workshops with the European teams ( and a lot of mind mapping ) , I had a clear view of what was needed except one single central thing : I had to define what was a service and what was its lifecycle trough the operations in order to change the operating model .
Selection : In your own words , briefly describe the tool you selected ( e.g. , what it is and why you selected it for your challenge -- including any appropriate video lecture references ) .
I started by asking different departments to get some insights about what they considered as a service . I collected many definitions , each incompatibles one with the others . So , a couple of weeks ago , I assembled a team for a meeting and proposed something new . I stood in front of the whiteboard and drew a rectangle .
“ This is a service . Now let ’s describe what happens to it . ”
Visualization is a very useful tool in my field to summarize complex concepts on a very concise manner . Here I wanted the people around the table to forget about their preconceived ideas from their experience and just focus on that blank rectangle . It did n’t matter whether this rectangle was a B2B or B2C. It did n’t matter either if it was packaged , priced or delivered . This was just a rectangle and it was a good , neutral , start .
Application : Describe how you applied the tool you selected to your challenge ( e.g. , what you did and how the tool was applied effectively or ineffectively ) .
The first participants started to tell me how the service was provided to the client . I drew some kind of pipe to reflect the workflow . Then the commercial team stated that a service can contain several items . As someone replied that those items should be the services packaged into something bigger , I drew smaller rectangles into the first one . Then the financial department explained us how those services were billed , partly to the customer and partly to its insurer . I continued drawing .
Two hours later and after a lot of back and forth to refine the initial picture , we reached an agreement and were able to formulate a common definition . As a result , we had a brand new definition that led later to a major change in the business model and a potential 40 % growth in revenue ( which make this picture as valuable as a Chagall ) .
( Sorry , I am not allowed to publish neither the picture nor the definition . )
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 ) .
This method proved very well suited to the challenge I was facing . Not only we defined what we were talking about on a very efficient way but we also came to a lot of new valuable ideas . Actually I expected that result but the client expressed his surprise : in his mind its employees were not able to innovate , thus my presence ; I proved that , using the right methods , they were .
Another benefit I noticed was haw helpful was a drawing to reach an agreement at an international level : it would have been much harder to come to a common verbal definition with English , German , Polish , Belgian , Spanish , and French people around the table .
Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why .
Considering the results , I will definitely apply the same tool for similar challenges .
As an alternative usage for the same tool , I wanted to talk about the use of a good visualisation so summarize an “ sell ” such a complex and rather theoretical concept . However , I spent the last days trying to explain those results to other collaborators ( mostly executives ) and I ’ve had some hard times to reflect the evolution in the participant ’s thinking as I only had a static drawing . Next time I will record the whiteboard to keep track of the changes we make on the picture .

Challenge : I study at high school . To be admitted to the main exam in my country , you need to prepare a project on any topic . I had a choice to be negligent about the project ( like most students ) or to approach it with pleasure and profit . Because I have an idea in my head for a long time I chose second option and started do it . My task was to make the platform for teenagers and make it the most user - friendly . In order to achieve the expected result , I needed to focus on needs and interests of different age groups of students and explore possible solutions . The project is limited to time . So I decided to launch as earlier as possible .
Selection : The choice of tool for this project is obvious . Learning Launch is the tool that allows you quickly get relevant and reliable information . Learning Launch it is feedback that allows you to find weaknesses and fix them .
Application : It would be wrong if said that I had used only this tool because everything works well when we combine . I 'm suppose that design thinking is about combination . So visualisation helped me a lot in the process of creation my platform . But the biggest emphasis in my project was experiment . Before generation new ideas I interviewed students of my school .

Challenge & Selection
“ When we know the facts about people , we know what they are . When we know their stories , we know who they are . ” - John Quincy Adams . I have worked with active young people to develop SDGs awareness , entrepreneurial mindsets and 21st - century skills by conducting localized training workshops at a grassroots level . However , it is very difficult to retain participants ’ enthusiasm in our workshops , especially for those in marginalized groups who are in challenges to connect with new friends and open yourself for sharing their ideas when being in the crowds with more outstanding and confident youth . We were getting further and further apart , and the number of people attending the programme was getting smaller and smaller while our high target is that “ Leave no one behind ” . Until we have a Storytelling workshop , we know that it is the great tool we need to engage and get our explorers back . Instead of starting the workshop with the boring theory of topics , now we always begin with a check - in question “ At the end of this workshop , you will be happy if … . ” to know our audiences ’ interest and thoughts . I also know that Storytelling helps to bring us into the same page where we can listen , give feedback , share our stories , and get to know each other meaningfully . With my personal development path , I share my story to help them visualize a state of failure , sharing our experience and the way of improving my leadership skills . They deeply understand that our success has the great story behind it which covers both happiness and failures . I collect their stories to help them connect with others and find the ways to improve their leadership skills .
Application
When coordinating the workshop , I met a young person with a disability and congenital heart disease . He also could not express his opinion fluently , so he was very inferior to himself and was afraid to share his ideas in the workshops . of the program . At that time , I proposed to be his mentor and arranged weekly online sharing sessions with him . I tell the story of how my journey came to my current job , how I struggled when I was out of school , did n't have a network to take actions in social works , and how I overcame it . He shared with me about his concerns when participating in the programme , motivation , and stories of young people with disabilities , young people with heart disease and their desire to participate in social activities . After 2 weeks , he is ready to take part in the workshop and I hope I do the rehearsal with him . I see him more and more confident in expressing his opinions in the next workshops , sharing his story with others , and he realizes his great concern with Climate change and Gender equality matters .
Insight & Approach
“ Stories are how we think . They are how we make meaning of life . Stories are how we explain how things work , how we make decisions , how we persuade others , how we understand our place in the world , create identities , and define and teach social values . ” ( Dr. Pamela Rutledge , Exploring Positive Psychology )
Storytelling helps us to tell who we are by sharing moments that made us today or that clarified our values . We teach a lesson to each other - how we learned something through failure or success , mastered an organizational capability , or overcame resistance to change . We are motivated to change by creating dissatisfaction with the present , sharing dangerous mistakes in business , establishing the case for change , and creating a vision for the future state . Everyone has their own story , however storytelling helps us to be
on the same page , to change the frame such as allowing the audience to see a problem through a different lens , and changing the emotional climate .
Most stories have a beginning , middle , and end , and our personal stories are no different . Whenever I want to tell my story , I always remember the SOAR model which helps me to go in the right way and express my feelings clearly .
S - Set the scene ( Who ? What ? and Where ? )
O - Obstacles were encountered
A - Action was taken
R - Resolution . How did it turn out ?
Based on the SOAR model , I can practice my Life Map further which helps me understand where I am by thinking about where I ’ve been , and where I might want to go next . This could be geographic , cultural , social , academic , professional , emotional , etc . I can look at my timeline and find out the next steps in my study and career path .

Challenge -
I am currently studying and also I am a part of an NGO ( Non - governmental organisation ) which focuses on providing menstrual hygiene products to slums in India . Poverty refers to a situation in which a person remain underprivileged from the basic necessities of life . In addition , the person does not have an inadequate supply of food , shelter , and clothes . In India , most of the people who are suffering from poverty can not afford to pay for a single meal a day . Also , they sleep on the roadside ; wear dirty old clothes . In addition , they do not get proper healthy and nutritious food , neither medicine nor any other necessary thing .
India as a country believes that women can not be touched or even use the same utensils people at home use for cooking while she is on her period . Modern times have surely brought a huge change in my society but there are still many places in which wearing a pad is not accepted and women who are in their period have to use cloth which can cause infection and rashes . People think that pads are n’t affordable and even if they are they are unsafe for women . Convincing women to actually buy pads or make their own biodegradable pads i d the challenge we were facing .
Selection -
The most appropriate tool we could use for this challenge was storytelling , we could share our own stories and bring experts to share their stories to convince women on why they should shift to wearing pads instead of cloth . People tend to listen to stories and involve themselves rather then just people telling them what to do . Storytelling gives people a holistic approach .
Application -
Before a week I enrolled to this course called design thinking for innovation , as soon as I enrolled for this course there was a major problem going around in the NGO and I thought about how storytelling could be used as a tool to emotionally connect with out audience ( villagers ) and convince them to use pads over rugged clothes .
Insight and approach -
We as a team of 5 applied storytelling to tackle our situation by actually taking expert doctors to unprivileged areas and share their own experiences . We firstly had a group meeting in which we all gathered and shared our ideas on how we can tackle this issue , after studying this particular course I thought that storytelling was the best approach we can use and I gave them specifics on how people will connect more to stories rather then presentations . After an hour long debate we were all convinced that this was the best approach .
Within the next 2 days we talked to different doctors on how they could help us in this cause and it was astonishing that more than 12 doctors actually agreed to come with us and talk to people on why they should be wearing pads . Shockingly we also found a
doctor who was convinced that she could show people on how to make their own washable pads at home which were safe to use and cost effective .
Next day we planned a visit to a particular village and gathered all the females and told them to share their stories and then our experts told their own stories . People were really excited and then we had a full day planned on how they could make their own pads .
My eyes were wide open on the power of storytelling , convincing the women to use pads was a mammoth task but listening to them and then sharing our own experiences made them sympathise with us which finally led to them accepting to wear pads .

### Input: Storytelling
Challenge -
I am currently studying and also I am a part of an NGO ( Non - governmental organisation ) which focuses on providing menstrual hygiene products to slums in India . Poverty refers to a situation in which a person remain underprivileged from the basic necessities of life . In addition , the person does not have an inadequate supply of food , shelter , and clothes . In India , most of the people who are suffering from poverty can not afford to pay for a single meal a day . Also , they sleep on the roadside ; wear dirty old clothes . In addition , they do not get proper healthy and nutritious food , neither medicine nor any other necessary thing .
India as a country believes that women can not be touched or even use the same utensils people at home use for cooking while she is on her period . Modern times have surely brought a huge change in my society but there are still many places in which wearing a pad is not accepted and women who are in their period have to use cloth which can cause infection and rashes . People think that pads are n’t affordable and even if they are they are unsafe for women . Convincing women to actually buy pads or make their own biodegradable pads i d the challenge we were facing .
Selection -
The most appropriate tool we could use for this challenge was storytelling , we could share our own stories and bring experts to share their stories to convince women on why they should shift to wearing pads instead of cloth . People tend to listen to stories and involve themselves rather then just people telling them what to do . Storytelling gives people a holistic approach .
Application -
Before a week I enrolled to this course called design thinking for innovation , as soon as I enrolled for this course there was a major problem going around in the NGO and I thought about how storytelling could be used as a tool to emotionally connect with out audience ( villagers ) and convince them to use pads over rugged clothes .
Insight and approach -
We as a team of 5 applied storytelling to tackle our situation by actually taking expert doctors to unprivileged areas and share their own experiences . We firstly had a group meeting in which we all gathered and shared our ideas on how we can tackle this issue , after studying this particular course I thought that storytelling was the best approach we can use and I gave them specifics on how people will connect more to stories rather then presentations . After an hour long debate we were all convinced that this was the best approach .
Within the next 2 days we talked to different doctors on how they could help us in this cause and it was astonishing that more than 12 doctors actually agreed to come with us and talk to people on why they should be wearing pads . Shockingly we also found a
doctor who was convinced that she could show people on how to make their own washable pads at home which were safe to use and cost effective .
Next day we planned a visit to a particular village and gathered all the females and told them to share their stories and then our experts told their own stories . People were really excited and then we had a full day planned on how they could make their own pads .
My eyes were wide open on the power of storytelling , convincing the women to use pads was a mammoth task but listening to them and then sharing our own experiences made them sympathise with us which finally led to them accepting to wear pads .

providing Auto Loans . Few years back after Structural Changes I have been given the responsibility of Receivable Management of Soft Bucket Collection which consist of 0 to 1 ageing Bucket
Customers . Few new geography ’s were assign to me along with total portfolio of around 2.20 lacs Customers Base & Monthly Billing of Rs . 275crs , 16 Divisional Offices , 95 Area Offices ( Reporting to Divisions ) & 650 Field Force . Expectation from me is to improve Collection Efficiency from 82 % to
85+% to first year , 90 % to second year & 95 % to Third Year . Considering the current average , geographies in which we operate , diverse customer profile , multiple product range i.e Two Wheeler
to Commercial Vehicle & Agriculture product like Tractors & Implements to was tough takes & big challenge to scale up to such high efficiency levels .
Selection : Based on Nature of Business , Role & Audience which I am dealing with Storytelling tool perfectly suits to me which I use all the time . In my role one need to continuously connect with people for various too & fro communication related to local geographical information , agriculture
condition of the market , etc . Being very hard core efforts job one need to keep team motivated , engage , involved & energetic by frequently connecting with them , understanding their problems & providing relevant timely support / solutions . Considering the requirement & Challenges Storytelling
is a great tool which helps you to communicate your plan , Strategy , thoughts to team in a simple way , by involving & engaging them in the discussion . Moreover its helps to maintain common

Challenge and Selection :
I was working on a project and needed to communicate the magnitude of the discrepancy between men and women in consulting . I needed to show how gender representation numbers change over time as you progress into the higher levels of consulting . This was going to do into a powerpoint deck that later made the case for offering unique networking opportunities for women . I knew that , in order for the Ask later to be strongest , the audience really needed to feel the disparity that exists at the highest levels of consulting .
I was deciding between using visualization and story - telling as a means of really connecting with the audience and making this part of the presentation impactful . Ultimately , I decided to focus on the Visualization tool . I chose this for a couple reasons : firstly , I thought of the saying “ a picture speaks a thousand words . ” I knew that if people saw not just the numbers but the numbers reflected in visual form , that would be more impactful . Secondly , I this tools is one I am less comfortable with , so this also felt like a prime opportunity or practice .
Application and Approach
I ended up taking the data in Microsoft excel and spent time thinking about different ways to visualize the data . I ended up deciding to start with showing a pie that starts out showing 50 % men and 50 % women at entry level roles . I then removed respective parts of the pie as we moved up the ranks to finally leave just 17 % of the Partners were women . At the same time , the portion of the pie that represented men keeps growing at each level up the ranks . So we start out with parity and end up showing how the disparity looks by the end .
Insights and Future Application / Approach
I learned that the more I am able to communicate with visuals , the better the message lands with an audience . This might sound like a really obvious point to many , but my default has always been to use words to convey points . This exercise pushed me to invest my time in trying something different and it was really powerful . I also realized , while I was playing around with different visualizations , that it matters a lot HOW I choose to visualize something . I think the most effective visualization will also be the most elegant in that the “ takeaway ” is clear . There should not be confusion about what an audience member should take away .
I think I want to keep practicing and I want to collaborate with a partner in the future so that there are different perspectives in the design phase . It also helps to think of the end goal , the thing I want to communicate .

Challenge : In the launch of 4.5 G in Turkey , all mobile operators communicate their fast network infrastructure and their broad coverage . All the marketing communication effort was similar in the market . Operators were trying to differentiate themself but on the hand , telling the customers the same reasons to believe . As a marketing communication expert , I was looking for creative ways of positioning and communicating Energy Clinic Pakistan 4.5 G services . Selection : I choose storytelling tool for my challenge to make Energy Clinic Pakistan 4.5 G marketing communication efforts more interesting , powerful and make our 4.5 G strategy more accessible . Application : First of all , I realized an opportunity and room for improvement in 4.5 G launch communication . In a market , customers see and heard the same product & services promises from the network operators , Energy Clinic Pakistan has to differentiate itself from the crowd . According to Nielsen ’s latest Global Trust in Advertising report , which surveyed more than 28,000 Internet respondents in 56 countries , 92 percent of consumers around the world say they trust earned media , such as recommendations from friends and family , above all other forms of advertising . So , we decide to communicate Energy Clinic Pakistan 4.5 G by using what our customers experienced about it rather than making classic approach advertisements . We make interviews with our customers and asked their Energy Clinic Pakistan 4.5 G experience and published on youtube . We also worked with popular , influential Youtubers . We select the influencers according to our customer ’s interests such as music , food , fashion , etc . We shoot 8 different videos with influencers it creates a great buzz around Energy Clinic Pakistan 4.5 G speed and coverage . Insight : We gained great customer engagement and emotional connection by applying storytelling tools to our Energy Clinic Pakistan 4.5 G marketing communications efforts . Customer interviews and influencer videos create interest and trust around our 4.5 G products and services . Storytelling tools also helped us to know , understand our customers , and deliver them what they need . Approach : Next time I would definitely take consideration in to apply other design thinking tools such as visualization , mind mapping as it helps to analyze the market and boost the idea generation process . I would also follow steps to designing for growth ( what is , what if , what wows and what works ) .

Challenge
I´m an innovation and design thinking consultant working with a Government State in México , one of my objectives was to implement an Innovation Award to recognize all those brilliant ideas from citizens about how to innovate government processes and services . A great challenge because you need to make people think and understand what are those social problems , government programs o services that could be redesign , innovated or changed but with a deep focus on proposing innovative solutions and not only finger pointing what is wrong , a cultural change required . In Mexico when you talk about main social problems people tend to talk about their perception with no facts or clarity about what the real problem is .
Selection
When you are designing a workshop and need to select the right tools to develop new ideas to solve government challenges , you will require to think about the different types or citizens that will be participating on these events , you have students , non - government association , professionals on different fields and universities , just to name some of them . You need to find an easy tool that anyone can understand quickly and easy to use with pencil , paper sheets .
For the Innovation Award that I mentioned , I selected a tool that can help the participants to explore real problems beyond the symptoms they see , most of the time what the citizens see as a problem is the result of another problem not seen . There´s a need for a deep dive into what exactly you are identifying as problem to propose the right solution .
The Design Thinking tool I selected to identify what are the potential sub problems is the mind mapping tool , because it makes people think broader about what other problems can be seen related to that . Mind Mapping helps people and organization to be clear about a topic , any related topics , called subtopic and ideas around subtopics as we see in the below picture
Application
For a workshop I present the main areas current government is focusing on , something called “ State Development Plan ” that define the government priorities to align all the ideas around government objectives and also to have budget assigned if a great idea comes from those workshops that could be implemented
I organize the citizens by group of minimum three , maximum five , looking for diversity on age , education , gender , etc . , to have different perceptions and great discussions among the groups . People take a flipchart sheet and stick it in the wall , start discussing what could be a problem that needs faster and innovative solutions using the State Development Plan , write the problem selected at the center of the flipchart sheet , the next step requires to identify from that selected problem any other types of problems that could fall under this description , ask them to think and write in post - it note all those problems related to the main one , one post - it note per idea , no limits on number of ideas , usually the activity takes 20 minutes .
After that , you ask someone from each team to start reading all the post - it notes and start grouping them if are related , looking for affinity groups among all or any connections , in this step you have created different arms and secondary arms to the main problem , once you complete to group them you can give a name of to each group with the most representative description , connect with lines the main problem and the sub - problems . When this activity is completed you have now defined multiple sub - problems , in most of the cases those are the ones that citizens see as the ones to solve , problems specific to address .
Insight
Mind Mapping is a great starter when you need that everybody has the same understanding about a concept ; We at the government office expect that citizens can have a better understanding of social problems and all the variation of those problems . We , as humans , tend to generalize our perception about many things . Mind Mapping helps us to have clear picture of what´s behind or above the topic to analyze , and also helped citizens to think that social problems can´t be named generically , they need to be clearly identified and the sum of all those problems solved will result in a better perception of their reality . Design Thinking is a great problem - solving tool where anyone can innovate
Approach
As an Innovation and Design Thinking Consultant I always make use of this type of tools that allows teams to have a discussion , analysis , and agreements . I would applied the same tool but now with engineering groups , mind mapping areas to do a research or trying to find different ways to solve a problem , also with Human Resources teams I would use it identify employee needs listening to their problems .

Challenge
I´m an innovation and design thinking consultant working with a Government State in México , one of my objectives was to implement an Innovation Award to recognize all those brilliant ideas from citizens about how to innovate government processes and services . A great challenge because you need to make people think and understand what are those social problems , government programs o services that could be redesign , innovated or changed but with a deep focus on proposing innovative solutions and not only finger pointing what is wrong , a cultural change required . In Mexico when you talk about main social problems people tend to talk about their perception with no facts or clarity about what the real problem is .
Selection
When you are designing a workshop and need to select the right tools to develop new ideas to solve government challenges , you will require to think about the different types or citizens that will be participating on these events , you have students , non - government association , professionals on different fields and universities , just to name some of them . You need to find an easy tool that anyone can understand quickly and easy to use with pencil , paper sheets .
For the Innovation Award that I mentioned , I selected a tool that can help the participants to explore real problems beyond the symptoms they see , most of the time what the citizens see as a problem is the result of another problem not seen . There´s a need for a deep dive into what exactly you are identifying as problem to propose the right solution .
The Design Thinking tool I selected to identify what are the potential sub problems is the mind mapping tool , because it makes people think broader about what other problems can be seen related to that . Mind Mapping helps people and organization to be clear about a topic , any related topics , called subtopic and ideas around subtopics as we see in the below picture
Application
For a workshop I present the main areas current government is focusing on , something called “ State Development Plan ” that define the government priorities to align all the ideas around government objectives and also to have budget assigned if a great idea comes from those workshops that could be implemented
I organize the citizens by group of minimum three , maximum five , looking for diversity on age , education , gender , etc . , to have different perceptions and great discussions among the groups . People take a flipchart sheet and stick it in the wall , start discussing what could be a problem that needs faster and innovative solutions using the State Development Plan , write the problem selected at the center of the flipchart sheet , the next step requires to identify from that selected problem any other types of problems that could fall under this description , ask them to think and write in post - it note all those problems related to the main one , one post - it note per idea , no limits on number of ideas , usually the activity takes 20 minutes .
After that , you ask someone from each team to start reading all the post - it notes and start grouping them if are related , looking for affinity groups among all or any connections , in this step you have created different arms and secondary arms to the main problem , once you complete to group them you can give a name of to each group with the most representative description , connect with lines the main problem and the sub - problems . When this activity is completed you have now defined multiple sub - problems , in most of the cases those are the ones that citizens see as the ones to solve , problems specific to address .

Challenge & Selection
Working in the space of Organisational Development for a client in the Telecom Surveillance and Integrated Systems business , the Leadership team was facing some resistance from the Senior Management Team in the need for remodelling the Performance Management framework within the organisation . Their belief was that since the old framework has worked for more than 2 decades , why change it at all !
I used Storytelling to build a case for change and more importantly inspire the Senior Management team by re - kindling their emotions and help them visualise the Organisational goals and challenges that they might face en - route .
Application
In one of the launch meetings for a Proposed Roadmap for Leadership Development and Performance Conversations , I happened to tell them the story of Dave and Jim from Zig Ziglar ’s book “ Secrets of Closing the Sale ” . The audience could identify with the characters , place themselves into their shoes and the suspense that the story built till the end made them glued on to anticipating what comes next !
The least they expected was an insight or a reflection at the end of the story ! But – that ’s exactly what they were required to do . Reflect upon whose mind - set are they embodying - Dave or Jim and what does it take away from their Goal - focus and commitment from bringing value to the table .
It made them realise the criticality of a Growth Mindset and looking at change as the only constant in an ever - changing and dynamic business world .
Insight & Approach
Every manager in the group committed to a Personal Leadership vision , aligned the same with the Organisation vision and pledged to inspire their teams with the vision and purpose .
“ Be the change you wish to see in the world ” , as popularly coined and embodied by Mahatma Gandhi became the mantra for the whole team .
The organisation made tremendous progress on understanding Performance and development driven conversations and within a week from the Launch meeting , 30 % of the managers successfully conducted atleast one Continuous Performance Conversation with their reports . This simple action had a cascading positive impact across the organisation .
“ Culture eats strategy for breakfast ” dawned upon the leaders as they realised the futility of driving an effective strategy without positively driving an enabling culture .
Had it not been for Storytelling , this profound impact could not have been created within such a short period of time .

Challenge & Selection The tool I understand and used was the tool of Visualization , or Visual Thinking , to accomplish a mutual comprehension of an issue space among a different gathering of partners before endeavoring to recognize and characterize potential answers for the issue . I use this approach depends on the case of most educational institutions use online learning environments to support their courses . This evolution enables easy distribution of course material , remote participation and collaboration and increased interactivity between geographically dispersed teachers and students . I have used the technique of using a figures , images and videos visualization of a problem domain with a set of questions or prompts for discussion to allow a diverse group of gathering partners 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 cycle by creating a graphic interface of the problem area . To build up the graphic interface , I will draw from any current material accessible to comprehend the climate . The existing material might be operational or procedural archives , preparing materials , advertising materials or other examining reports . On the off chance that materials are not accessible , at that point I lead casual meetings with a portion of the accomplices who fill in as my central matters of contact on the activity . Referring to some global articles I read , I borrow a few concepts from them such as the concept “ Visualization literacy ” which was mentioned in “ Observations and Reflections on Visualization Literacy in Elementary School ” article written by F. Chevalier , N. Henry Riche , B. Alper , C. Plaisant , J. Boy , and N. Elmqvist . Who generally defined the visualization literacy as the ability and skill to read and interpret visually represented data and to extract information from data visualizations . The graphic interface I used was mainly the figures or in other side it could also be a game which has a simple graphics , using simple shapes and icons available in Visio or on the Internet . For the activity , I will divide the partners into groups of 5 - 6 participants each representing a different class or area of interest . Each group receives a poster - size copy of the figure graphic that they can write on directly or use sticky notes to make comments . I give them some questions to answer related to the class material , such as : 1 ) What they can see and what is missing from the graphic ? 2 ) What would you change about the figure graphic to make it easier and more creative ? I give them roughly 15 - 20 minutes to talk about the inquiries and increase the figure graphic . At that point I have each gathering report out on their responses to those suggested questions while highlighting the imprint ups on their banner . As each gathering reports out , I record shared characteristics in the experiences of each gathering , and afterward extra bits of knowledge that originate from the gathering conversation on an extra duplicate of the graphic . After the class meeting , I make a view that joins the mutual and new bits of knowledge from the gathering conversation , and afterward make a reexamined graphic that consolidates their criticism and proposed changes that they consented to as a gathering .
Insight & Approach What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that while the graphic is important for reinforcing their understanding of the class material or 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 group of classmates a way to discuss and allows them to share their perspectives and develop insights into potential root causes of their problems or points of view . They can quickly identify where they are in the graphic or I they are missing something and can more quickly gain new insights about relationships between key entities instead of taking time to identify them .

Challenge
I am a member of my organizations in IT department , and my challenge is to help my distributor of my organization for monitoring their sales transactions using software application in online ways , easier , can be access anytime and can be performed with the newest technology
Currently , our distributor have employee as administrator to setup master data that used in sales transaction , example : salesman data , customer data , product data , route plan for sales ( example for route plan : customer A will be visited by salesman 1A on Monday every week ) . The administrator use application on computer ( not online ) , the have limitation in time and tools .
Our distributor also have salesman that used mobile application using Handheld ( like PDA on the picture below ) , the technology of the tool already obsolete and the tool size is too big
This project have some members include IT department , sales department and our distributor as the end customer . This project limited to internal resource ( budget and employee time ) and will occur in 3 months . We will focus on trying to help our distributor have simple and newest software application with the newest technology so it can be maintain easier
Selection
We use learning launch tool , because we can collect current problem , got new ideas and also make prototype to testing
Application
For the first learning launch , we focused on what technology that can be applied to help our distributor . Our IT programmer discuss with sales department and we decide to use website to replace computer application for administrator , so the administrator team can setup master data easier example using mobile phone to open the website . For salesman , we decide to make android application that can run on android mobile phone , we decide it because android mobile phone is use by many people and the application can be download easier via google play store
For second learning launch , we focused on select feature on current application that already run well and what feature that need to improve or fix ( if there is any error on current application ) . We developed the feature with website and android technology . After we developed the prototype , we test it with our distributor so they can try the new prototype and get their insight
Insight
By applying learning launch tool , our team identified what current problem and the best technology to solve the problem . Additionally , we also got new insight from our distributor to add some new feature in example : reporting application to help our distributor got newest information like sales trend datas on 6 months
Approach
Our team already select learning launch as design thinking tool , because with this method our team can tested our application by giving it to the distributor , distributor can try the prototype and we can get new insight . From two step learning launch , we combined the insight from our distributor and develop new mobile application that fulfill their need

Challenge
A need arose within our Global Billing Operations organization for a front - door tool dedicated to the take - in , tracking and reporting of the Organization ’s manual billing requests . This task had previously been with multiple billing tools , of which the two important for our region were soon to be sunset . The new tool had to combine the formerly used tools ’ functions , serving as a “ vessel ” for a manual billing request throughout its lifecycle – from submission , review , through approval , to its completion upon invoicing . In addition to that , it was supposed to establish a standardized audit trail , reduce the overall complexity for the various billing organizations , and reduce the overall complexity and variations of manual billing process handling across the different teams . Though the new tool had to accommodate some existing diversity , the goal was to have a level of uniformity and consistency in data collection and processing across the board .
Selection and Application
For this challenge , VISUALIZATION was one of the key components in approaching this task . We needed to have a visual representation of the tool ’s complex space and how the submitted manual billing requests would flow through the various “ gates ” per the process . Although this development stage was preceded by a meticulous collection of the business and functional requirements from the numerous stakeholders , it was important to really see how the functions of the previously used tools were incorporated , what the new relationships were , and where did the various stakeholders step in during the request ’s journey .
Diagrams and mock - ups were utilized for the representation of the tool ’s space . As the tool needed to house multiple manual billing request templates used by various organizations , the different teams sat down and discussed the various aspects in the visualization separately . This was an effective application as each team could concentrate on their own little eco - system in which their manual billing requests would exist , and they could talk about the specific challenges or improvements to their area of the tool .
Insight
The visualization presented a quick and valuable insight into the possible scenarios where a certain condition within the process was / could not be met and open up a discussion and generate ideas where a manual billing request ’s flow should be reversed to in order to adhere to the process , or for any functional improvements . Visualization was really the most effective tool to use in this case as the complexity of the process and the tool ’s functions were simply too difficult to be told as a story . Hearing instead of seeing in this case could leave too great of a room for error , or misunderstandings – we simply may be understanding the words slightly differently and the saying “ A picture is worth a
thousand words ” rings very true here . Having the tool ’s environment at glance through this clear visual representation established what ’s what from the start and allowed the group to test their assumptions and to focus on the true challenges .
Looking at design thinking in broader terms , I realized there are various types of challenges out there and they may require or be most effectively solved by applying one or the other of the tools that design thinking offers . While for challenge X , the best approach may be storytelling , for challenge Y , it may be visualization or mind mapping , while challenge Z will be best solved through the learning launch .
Approach
If I faced this kind of challenge again , I would choose visualization again . The above challenge was a case where many of the what is had been already established and known , there was a certain process in place , the stakeholders were organizations within our corporation – and what we needed to do was to create a tool which would be an incorporation and an improved version of the functions in the already used tools . Not much of a mystery here .
On the other hand , I can definitely imagine using storytelling in the creation of a tool or a mobile application , given a different context . What if we were creating the product for our customers , the public , without any idea of what their needs were . And though visualization would most certainly be part of the later development process , the number 1 focus would be on storytelling , number 2 would be the learning launch to test , learn and iterate as quickly as possible .

Although this development stage was preceded by a meticulous collection of the business and functional requirements from the numerous stakeholders , it was important to really see how the functions of the previously used tools were incorporated , what the new relationships were , and where did the various stakeholders step in during the request ’s journey .
Diagrams and mock - ups were utilized for the representation of the tool ’s space . As the tool needed to house multiple manual billing request templates used by various organizations , the different teams sat down and discussed the various aspects in the visualization separately . This was an effective application as each team could concentrate on their own little eco - system in which their manual billing requests would exist , and they could talk about the specific challenges or improvements to their area of the tool .
Insight
The visualization presented a quick and valuable insight into the possible scenarios where a certain condition within the process was / could not be met and open up a discussion and generate ideas where a manual billing request ’s flow should be reversed to in order to adhere to the process , or for any functional improvements . Visualization was really the most effective tool to use in this case as the complexity of the process and the tool ’s functions were simply too difficult to be told as a story . Hearing instead of seeing in this case could leave too great of a room for error , or misunderstandings – we simply may be understanding the words slightly differently and the saying “ A picture is worth a
thousand words ” rings very true here . Having the tool ’s environment at glance through this clear visual representation established what ’s what from the start and allowed the group to test their assumptions and to focus on the true challenges .
Looking at design thinking in broader terms , I realized there are various types of challenges out there and they may require or be most effectively solved by applying one or the other of the tools that design thinking offers . While for challenge X , the best approach may be storytelling , for challenge Y , it may be visualization or mind mapping , while challenge Z will be best solved through the learning launch .
Approach
If I faced this kind of challenge again , I would choose visualization again . The above challenge was a case where many of the what is had been already established and known , there was a certain process in place , the stakeholders were organizations within our corporation – and what we needed to do was to create a tool which would be an incorporation and an improved version of the functions in the already used tools . Not much of a mystery here .
On the other hand , I can definitely imagine using storytelling in the creation of a tool or a mobile application , given a different context . What if we were creating the product for our customers , the public , without any idea of what their needs were . And though visualization would most certainly be part of the later development process , the number 1 focus would be on storytelling , number 2 would be the learning launch to test , learn and iterate as quickly as possible .

Even though a lot of features in the App can work without login ( sign - in ) but we still wanted to get users logged in into our App . My challenge was to get maximum number of users signed in into the App but without impacting the App ’s play store ratings . After getting users signed in , there ’s a lot product management can do by tracking the users behaviors and interests . We had about a period of 3 months to come up with the best optimal of way of driving sign - ins . The intent was to present user with the Sign in screen on App launch itself but which design and which behavior would work the best was still unknown . Selection Since we were doing sign in on launch for the first time and also we had to keep the App ratings also intact , learning launch via experiments became an obvious choice for us . The learning launch is an experiment meant to quickly test and prototype . Application We came up with different variants of the Sign in screen – mandatory sign - in , optional sign- in , optional sign - in with a more subtle cancel option and variants of all these with and without social sign in options . Over a period of 3 months , we rolled out each experiment for about a week to funnel the path users are taking till they eventually sign in and to see how many sign in success and failures are there . Also , which type of sign in options users are using the most – corporate login , Google login or Facebook login . Each of these experiments were run in exclusion to get clear idea about which variant results in maximum success . App rating was another factor . We had to make sure that when that experiment variant was live , then there was no negative impact on the App ratings . Insight The above exercise help us quickly launch one variant into the market , track how its progressing and on getting those results , iterating over the next variant . Each variant helped us learn something different about users behaviours . Social sign in options were a win but the most interesting result that came out of the experiment was that enforcing mandatory sign in to the users was quite annoying for them , whereas optional sign in worked and that too the optional sign in with more subtle option was the winner . Approach Given that our team has already built this set up of running experiments quickly and analyzing the results achieved by the same and quickly iterating over the next one , the learning launch tool is appropriate for us for coming with best possible solution for a given problem . We are now thinking of applying the same approach to solve the challenge of
driving subscription of services via our mobile application and which App entry points or triggers can help us with getting maximum subscriptions .

Challenge & Selection
I am a process development engineer . I have many years of experience in developing new semiconductor processes . One of the great things about this job is the fact that you have to invent the answer , you can not look it up in a book or read a journal article . What you need to have is an understanding of materials , chemistry , physics and data analysis . Along with those skills , you need to have a belief that it is OK to fail occasionally , because that too is a learning experience .
Part of my responsibilities these days is to lead others and mentor younger engineers and scientists so they can help develop new processes for future devices .
I use storytelling to convey the idea that the answer to a problem can come from the most unlikely sources and all you need to do is have an open mind and listen .
Application
The biggest challenge in a process / product development environment is to actually get people to begin a project . After a project is defined people like to have the tasks all laid out and so they can go from point A to point B to … .point Z. Many times , the path is not clear and it is uncertain how to get there even with thoughtfully designed experiments planned , so it leads to execution paralysis and an inability to start a project . I use a story about a project early in my career about developing a process for a new memory chip to illustrate the point that you do n’t need to have all the answers to the problems because you will learn along the way .
We were working on a new lithography process that worked with a new chemical reaction sequence , with a new process step that had never been done before . It also required the coupling of two pieces of equipment together that had never been done before . As we were working on this we started to get good results , but they were highly variable . We systematically tracked down each component in the equipment that we thought was contributing to the variability and replaced it or tightened the specification . In the end we inserted a time delay to get the process running and product produced . The time delay was a stop gap measure that worked .
We were talking over lunch about our process problem and our stop - gap fix , when someone else overheard our conversation and suggested that the source of variability was chemical contamination from the normal room air . A fix was proposed , an experiment was designed to filter the contamination out of the air and we then ran the experiment . The experiment was a success as the filtered air allowed us to get reproduceable results , remove our time delay and eventually identify and remove the contaminant from the air .
Insight
The act of sharing this story over a lunch table and the fact that someone from a completely different area was able to listen and suggest a possible cause and a solution proved the power of storytelling .
Had this not taken place it probably would have taken a few more years to identify and solve the source of the process variations .
I use this story to coach and inspire a younger generation to move forward and implement new processes even if they are not optimized in order to learn more along the way and to share their data , problems and difficulties in the hopes of getting insight from someone else .
I have used this technique many times and I am convinced that it is one of the contributing factors to my professional success .

A story about the power of storytelling would I like to tell you . When we discussed policy changes , I was trying to show a social provider , among other things , the benefits of using a more customer - focused approach .
It is particularly important for every person to understand as a single person and prioritize individual needs . Customers struggled in this non - empathic , rigid system because of the agency 's ' compliance culture . ' I also discussed how satisfying the needs of one person can benefit everyone , even if it seems dramatic or out of the ordinary . After a natural disaster , I told a story about running an emergency shelter . All did fantastically well except for a lady whose stress made her extremely emotional . So I decided to treat her like a " An hour 's princess . " I might say she needed my attention . I sat with her and made her a cup of coffee while she was speaking . Her mother who was with her had survived an aneurysm in the brain and was frightened to collapse or to suffer another disaster tragedy while in the shelter .
This was the opening of the eye . Her mother seemed healthy and had a relaxed attitude . It was clear that my story had to be told . I told her how awful it was that my father was suffering from an aneurysm in my brain and how difficult and awful it was to take him to the clinic . I told her how well he got back and then said we both had parents who had brain aneurysm survived . That was a wonderful idea . For that short time she needed only one - on- one attention , and she was supported genuinely . Her mother , who was interested in her , calmed down like everybody in the room .

Challenge :
I work for a public sector agency responsible for issuing and managing licenses for over a million active license holders . There are at any point in time with over 100 K applicants applying
for new licenses annually across 250 different license categories .
One of the strategic goals identified was to improve time it takes to issues new professional
licenses in the State . Before we could improve , we needed to understand what it took issue licenses today . Based on initial analysis it took anywhere between 3 days – 60 days to issues
licenses based on the type and circumstance the licensee were involved .
The end - to - end process of a licensing was not documented or understood among all stakeholders ; There was some data available that was not accurate or unlikely to help us determine the time needed for licensing . A myriad of systems and paper forms was used to capture data throughout the life cycle of a licensing process .
Selection :
It was clear that the problem we have to first solve is to understand and define the customer journey through the process of getting a license from the State before we could agree on how to calculate the length of time it takes to acquire a license . Stakeholders included customer , testing entities , law enforcement , reviewers , inspectors , lawyers , IT , and associations representing each license groups . The tool we selected was journey mapping to detail the
customer interactions with various stakeholders and systems .
One of the benefits of customer journey mapping is that it will help us to pick out where we may be falling short , and where silos exist within our process . We believed that viewing the journey from the lens of the customers gives us the ability to pinpoint any areas where we may be missing interaction point .
Application :
We brought together a team representing the various stakeholders involved in the process .
Created a baseline flow of customer experience as a large poster and displayed it the conference room for team to consume . We also provided post - it notes to users so they can add their comments and notes about the process . Scheduled sessions where teams would get to gather and place their notes on the workflow . The next several sessions each note was discussed and either added to workflow , discarded , or combined with similar comments
from others .
Using a simple tool like post - it notes help us move notes around as discussions proceeded and allowed users to create new notes as the discussion happened . There were few times when we discovered a key piece of information that changed the process , we had to retrace our path through the process .
Insight :
The tool highlighted the collective lack of understanding of customer ’s experience . It was
clear the number of assumptions made by various stakeholders on how and what the customer did during each phase . Going through this has given us information and ideas that would take us using other design thinking tools like brainstorming , concept development , customer co - creation and learning launch .
Approach :
Based on the experience that makes sense to use the same tool next time with some changes to it . By organizing meeting in smaller groups and it makes it efficient to incorporate feedback and frequently into the model . Organizing feedback better – Use of color
coordinated post - it notes to organize suggestions , ideas , and process steps . Better customer engagement of external customer in the process from the start should help us capture their perspective .

coordinated post - it notes to organize suggestions , ideas , and process steps . Better customer engagement of external customer in the process from the start should help us capture their perspective .

Challenge
I am a normal blogger who writes about daily activities , opinions , and hobbies related to my passion & what I do like & love to do in my life . Recently I visited to ST , MARTIN Island , I wanted to write about that but I was having a problem how to start it . I was thinking about how can I make my introduction about the place so that people feel interesting to read the detail , I was searching for some interesting words & sentences . I decided to use one of the Design Thinking tools to help my brain storming about new ideas related to this perfectly .
Tool selection :
Through several Design Thinking tools that I learned about on this course I decided to use the Mind Mapping tool which helps me a lot to create more ideas about solutions I want . From what I understand of this course , the mind mapping tool is a way to visualize , organize , collection of data or information that is use for creating new ideas and this can bring ideas related to each other to help complete the challenge I was facing .
Application :
I used mind mapping all the time from the first to the last of my article . I searched for many interesting literature sentences , words . And I read so many articles of many writers , blogs about that place . Firstly I took a paper , pencil to stat a demo about the article , I selected so many beautiful thought about the place one by one , not only that but also I asked one of my friend to read the demo first & tell me how was that .
Insight :
The result was amazing because I felt so fast & comfotable to write the article then . Mind mapping helped me so much about gathering new ideas , organizing information etc .. In fact I loved my own article much .
Approach :
This is an amazing design . I would love to use it again when will write about another blog . One of the best reasons I wanted to choose this deisgn because it gives me the freedom to choose my best thoughts , through writing a demo , choosing perfect colours , fornt , searching for new sentences , read other blogs etc .

Challenge
I ’m working in The Corporate Credit Product Management at Commercial bank . Last year , I was assigned to develop and implement an e - Channel for the customers to perform self - services instead of walk in to the branch . We want to get better quality & high speed of services and reduce the operation costs that were current pain points .
Selection
I applied many tools along each stage . To deeply understand the customer ’s pain points , we created customer journey to simulate what were their expected services . During design phase , we always lead to the assumption “ What if no paper based and transform to electronic channel ” . The development concept was applied for the process of electronic application to replace paper application . However , we did not jump to develop system . We activated several checkpoints by creating prototype and we conduct customers ’ interview for feedback . And , we engage our IT team to create the pilot system together .
Application
When we consolidated all requirements and started development , we split project into many releases . However , every release combines with basic features and Wow features . We need a new thing to place in the market . Several sessions were arranged to brainstorm among related parties to propose WOW idea . Further , some parts of customer feedback told about poor post production services . To close this gap , I asked my team to create our operational staff journey . So , from this task , we can see the end to end process in our organization and we can solve the problem to align with our new design . We engaged one partner customer group who needed to go the digital way to closely co - create and launch the first pilot . With cooperatively work together , all issues can resolved quickly and got satisfaction from group of pilot customers .
However , we still had difficulties when we rolled out to bank - wide customers . Changing customer from traditional way to digital way is always not easy . At first launch , we found that the targeted customer was not significantly increasing as plan . Team had brainstormed and set up the assumptions and find the way to prove . There were many factors that we did not foresee , e.g. expired user name /password , scared for using system and back to walk in to the branch , seasonal base and so on . After we studied and aware of those issues , we had created many recovery tasks . One of them , we set up special team to directly call to customer to seek information and immediately resolve as much as possible .
Insight & Approach
Now e - channel has successfully launched to the market . I have lesson learnt many things from this project . Changing team mindset is first thing need to do . The management must understand and fully support . Learn fast , fail fast , cheap , and open mind to get feedback are the key success . The design thinking tools are very supportive to guide them for a systematic framework . When team has inspired and passion to get new better things and management are fully understanding and support , the greatest outcome can be achievable .
By the way , we still have next releases launch to the market . It is the time that learning cycle will start again .

Challenge
I am an animation student and I am working on different projects and illustrations . My challenge for now is to improve my workflow and concentration spawn in order to increase the quality of my projects and decrease time spent on work . I will focus on trying to uncover what I consider to be effective or problematic with regard to my workflow . I have used the technique of using a visualization of my schedule and projects descriptions , domain with a set of questions to allow a diverse group of my friends to help defining the scope , boundaries , key elements , and relationships between elements to consider when identifying pain points and opportunities for improvements or solutions .
Selection
The tool I used was the tool of Visualization , or Visual Thinking , to achieve clear understanding of my problem space among a diverse group of people and me before attempting to identify and define possible solutions to the problem . I use this approach often with myself , working on my animations and commissions . I has already gone through several design thinking activities / tools , so I think I am ready to try the Visualization tool for this task .
Application
I start the process by creating an approximate image of the problem domain . To develop this , I will draw graphic from any existing material available to understand my environment . The existing material may be my grades during different approaches and environment , training materials and my observations on my mental and physical health .
The template I often start with also has a column on the left to identify Time and Value and a column on the right to identify Quality , such university grades , my expectations , feelings , my friends ’ opinion , and other entities that may add constraints to how I work . 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 make a group of 5 - 6 participants each representing a different area of interest . Each participant 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 problem space ? 3 ) What key insights do you have about the relationships between the entities in your problem space ? I give them approximately 10 minutes to discuss the questions together with me and mark up the graphic . Then I have each their report out on their answers to those three questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their poster . As they report out , I record commonalities in the insights , and then additional insights that come from me . After the session , I digitize combined poster as an artifact , create a view that combines the shared and new insights from the group discussion , and then create a renewed graphic that incorporates their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group .
Insight & Approach
What I have learned from carrying this exercise with several participants is that while the graphic – especially the renewed graphic that incorporates their feedback – is important for reinforcing my understanding of the problem I am working to solve , the more valuable aspect of the activity is the shared insights and shared learning that occurs while I am working to define my problem space . The graphic gives the diverse group of participants a valid point for discussion that allows them to share their perspectives and develop insights into potential root causes of my problems . While I could create the graphic from a
blank slate in a collaborative manner , starting with a image jump starts the conversation for them . They can quickly identify where they are in the graphic and can more quickly gain new insights about relationships between key entities instead of taking time to identify them . I can also identify variables in the problem space , it helps me to identify what I do n’t know , in what areas I need to obtain information or skill 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 .

1 . CHALLENGE : The module which I have chosen is story telling . Designers use
storytelling to get insight into users , build empathy and reach them emotionally . Designers create personas to represent target users and add conflict to stories that reflect their user journeys and problems . Crafting stories , designers can better understand what users want from a solution .
2 . SELECTION : I have chosen the topic Story Telling in Design Thinking . Design
Thinking is a methodology for solving problems that focuses on asking questions and listening , with empathy to the needs of individuals and groups . Storytelling is an “ essential human activity ” for sharing experiences , explaining values , and deciding on solutions through vivid verbal and visual accounts . Storytelling helps explain the interconnections among people in situations and settings , teaching broad lessons that engage real human beings . Listening engages people ; and empathy is an essential and fundamental component in the process . Stories generate questions and questions expand the breadth and depth of stories , leading to lots 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 . Stories take on a variety of forms such as digital storytelling , visual storytelling , storyboards , scenario generation , storytelling through videos , skits or plays , animation , talk and image , text or image . These forms open up possibilities for many analytical approaches including , thematic , content , discourse ( use of language ) , and structural . The trends and patterns derived from these analyses , in turn , form the bases of additional qualitative and quantitative data collection that value human needs as the authentic foundation of research - based challenges , opportunities and solutions . have already applied design thinking methodology to understand elements that lead to success in higher education among first generation and low- income students . Listening to and empathizing with their needs , I gained enormous insights into the types of services and mentoring first gens feel will help them navigate the academic and social challenges they face from the time they complete high school throughout college . Anxiety and bewilderment are patterns of behavior I found among first generation low - income students when they share stories about their first encounter with campus culture . Many feel like outsiders , confused by the academy ’s social and academic expectations . The social isolation , low self- confidence , and academic paralysis generated by these feelings seem to melt away among first generation / low - income students who study abroad . Why ? What happens when they and their middle- and upper - middle class peers travel to countries and experience unfamiliar cultures and languages ? document changes in behaviour among first generation / low - income students : an increase in confidence , self - efficacy , openness , perceptual acuity , resilience — general effectiveness in cross - cultural situations . Are these trends anecdotal or are we really on to
something ? Does study abroad add value to the college experience of first generation / low - income students in ways that are fundamentally different from their middle- and upper - middle class peers ? I will interview first generation / low - income students who have studied abroad and capture their stories . I believe that listening with empathy is the first step toward explaining these unexplained transformations .
3 . APPLICATION : I have selected the module of story telling as I feel a good story
can change the mind of people and help them in becoming better person . Good stories always captivate audiences . In user experience ( UX ) design , you use storytelling throughout the design process to ensure that all work focuses on the users ’ needs and the value you want to give those users . After completing design research to understand your users ’ needs and desires , you use your insights to tell a story about who your users are , what they need and how you ’ll provide that . This story makes it easy for everyone involved in the project to empathize with the users and ensure that their work matches the story . Having a story throughout your project means marketing the design at the end of the design process is also straightforward , as you already know exactly which story to tell to show how your product provides value . You can use storytelling in your design process to present your user research results in an engaging way and create empathy with your target users . This will help you steer the design process and keep it user - centric . This tool of story telling has affect everyone effectively .
4 . INSIGHT : The story telling module of Design Thinking play an important role in
everyone ’s lives . The insight of an story plays a very important role in everyone ’s life . A good story which is narrated in a right way touches the heart of the audiences and wins their heart . The social isolation , low self - confidence , and academic paralysis generated by these feelings seem to melt away among first generation / low - income students who study abroad . Why ? What happens when they and their middle- and upper - middle class peers travel to countries and experience unfamiliar cultures and languages ? Reports document changes in behaviour among first generation / low - income students : an increase in confidence , self- efficacy , openness , perceptual acuity , resilience — general effectiveness in cross- cultural situations . Are these trends anecdotal or are we really on to something ? Does study abroad add value to the college experience of first generation / low- income students in ways that are fundamentally different from their middle- and upper - middle class peers ? I will interview first generation / low - income students who have studied abroad and capture their stories . I believe that listening with empathy is the first step toward explaining these unexplained transformations . Insight has played a very important role in everyone ’s story and will always continue to do the same .
5 . APPROACH : I would like to choose another module as trying different things will
always help us in upgrading our skills . I would like to choose the mind map module which is also very interesting in Design thinking . As mentioned above , mind mapping is identified as one of the efficient tools to think and analyse ideas and their related topics Applying mind maps flow from a number of steps that drive the
mind thinking from simple core idea and radiate into a more complex structure . Therefore , the mind maps can be used in various situations – especially during the ideation and brainstorming stage . Taking note during individual or group meetings . It can be used to summarize discussions or create a to do list . Brainstorming ideas and find innovative solution during meetings . Break down complex problems and idea into simpler and easy to follow fractals . Analyses and process information collected during the research process . Present information in a creative and easy to follow format . I would love to use mind map module in the ext project .

I believe that listening with empathy is the first step toward explaining these unexplained transformations .
3 . APPLICATION : I have selected the module of story telling as I feel a good story
can change the mind of people and help them in becoming better person . Good stories always captivate audiences . In user experience ( UX ) design , you use storytelling throughout the design process to ensure that all work focuses on the users ’ needs and the value you want to give those users . After completing design research to understand your users ’ needs and desires , you use your insights to tell a story about who your users are , what they need and how you ’ll provide that . This story makes it easy for everyone involved in the project to empathize with the users and ensure that their work matches the story . Having a story throughout your project means marketing the design at the end of the design process is also straightforward , as you already know exactly which story to tell to show how your product provides value . You can use storytelling in your design process to present your user research results in an engaging way and create empathy with your target users . This will help you steer the design process and keep it user - centric . This tool of story telling has affect everyone effectively .
4 . INSIGHT : The story telling module of Design Thinking play an important role in
everyone ’s lives . The insight of an story plays a very important role in everyone ’s life . A good story which is narrated in a right way touches the heart of the audiences and wins their heart . The social isolation , low self - confidence , and academic paralysis generated by these feelings seem to melt away among first generation / low - income students who study abroad . Why ? What happens when they and their middle- and upper - middle class peers travel to countries and experience unfamiliar cultures and languages ? Reports document changes in behaviour among first generation / low - income students : an increase in confidence , self- efficacy , openness , perceptual acuity , resilience — general effectiveness in cross- cultural situations . Are these trends anecdotal or are we really on to something ? Does study abroad add value to the college experience of first generation / low- income students in ways that are fundamentally different from their middle- and upper - middle class peers ? I will interview first generation / low - income students who have studied abroad and capture their stories . I believe that listening with empathy is the first step toward explaining these unexplained transformations . Insight has played a very important role in everyone ’s story and will always continue to do the same .
5 . APPROACH : I would like to choose another module as trying different things will
always help us in upgrading our skills . I would like to choose the mind map module which is also very interesting in Design thinking . As mentioned above , mind mapping is identified as one of the efficient tools to think and analyse ideas and their related topics Applying mind maps flow from a number of steps that drive the
mind thinking from simple core idea and radiate into a more complex structure . Therefore , the mind maps can be used in various situations – especially during the ideation and brainstorming stage . Taking note during individual or group meetings . It can be used to summarize discussions or create a to do list . Brainstorming ideas and find innovative solution during meetings . Break down complex problems and idea into simpler and easy to follow fractals . Analyses and process information collected during the research process . Present information in a creative and easy to follow format . I would love to use mind map module in the ext project .

Tool : Story Telling
Challenge and Selection
This pandemic is challenging for all of us , but especially for business whose main focus is to educate and train both internal and external customers . It might be tempting to cut corners at a time like this to save your business money . But one area where you should not skimp is on employee training . Over the years conducting training to employees , partners , customers have been a way of life to me , however since this pandemic started the routine for trainings have turned upside down for the reasons that first , training use to be a face to face interaction . Second , training involves hands on experiences with the product . Lastly , our culture is not yet familiar with other tools for training . But then again as a leader I must adopt to the changing world but not sacrificing the learning opportunities for my team . And without a second thought I decided to proceed with our regular training on a different perspective .
Application
At first , I understand that conducting online training is much more expensive than the regular one , each members of your team must have strong internet connection which a bit challenging especially for people who belong to developing countries like ours , strong internet connection means you should be connected to a WiFi or LTE type data plan that is more expensive since you are paying for every data usage , another point to consider is those team member who are in a remote location with poor internet signal . But above all this what I want to clearly stress that while keeping costs in line is extremely important , there is one critical area where we should not stop and that is in our employee training . During this especially stressful time when there are political issues , safety issues and people are experiencing COVID fatigue , there is a reasonable chance that our team and even I myself may encounter a workplace situation that calls for knowing how to properly handle and diffuse the situation .
Insight & Approach
So ! The big wow is ? How did we start ? How did I come up with a strategic training plan . This pandemic has sharpened the need for a well - defined , strategic employee training plan ” and so planning begins first on the list is I have to establish our goals and objectives . What we want to achieve at the end of this training program , how will it contribute for our growth as a team and How will it help us to do better once we resume our normal work schedule . Second is thinking on the effective online platform t use . We tried using Google Meet , Messenger Teams , Microsoft Team and Zoom which we find the easy to use platform so once we finalized the zoom is the most effective tool for us . 40 minutes of free subscription would n’t be enough and so we upgraded our plan for us to maximize and make sure that every training topic will be finished without interruption . Next is creation of our training plan . One key to effective training is correct training plan , a systematic process that applies research- based principles to educational practice . If the training plan is effective , instruction will also be effective . And then goes the execution .
Considering that this is a new platform for us I took the liberty to look and find ways in conducting online training effectively while reading articles , watching webinars , I bumped into this article posted by Bates ( in Foley , 2003 ) proposed twelve golden rules for the use of technology in education . These rules offer guidance in the broader areas of designing and developing distance education :
1 . Good teaching matters . Quality design of learning activities is important for all delivery methods .
2 . Each medium has its own aesthetic . Therefore professional design is important .
3 . Education technologies are flexible . They have their own unique characteristics , but successful teaching can
be achieved with any technology .
4 . There is no “ super - technology . ” Each has its strengths and weaknesses ; therefore they need to be
combined ( an integrated mix ) .
5 . Make multiple media available to teachers and learners . Print , audio , video , and computers should all be
available .
6 . Balance variety with economy . Using many technologies makes design more complex and expensive ; there-
fore , limit the range of technologies in a given circumstance .
7 . Interaction is essential .
8 . Student numbers are critical . The choice of a medium will depend greatly on the number of learners
reached over the life of a course .
9 . New technologies are not necessarily better than old ones .
10 . Teachers need training to use technology effectively .
11 . Teamwork is essential . No one person has all the skills to develop and deliver a distance learning course ;
therefore , subject - matter experts , instructional designers , and media specialists are essential on every team .
And then the last part is the Execution , with all the information and studies we gathered , we are now more confident that we as a team can make it as the saying goes : “ Teamwork makes the Dream Works ” .

My team and I are regularly tasked to lead cross functional programs . Most of the times , these pose a challenge in terms of the problem definition since each of the involved functions or the functional stake holders define the problem with reference to their own departments and most of the times miss out the broader perspective of a customer . To add to the complexity , most of the folks are geographically dispersed and a dialog alone does n’t really mean everyone is on same page . To overcome such challenges , we most of the times employ visualization tools . These could be power point presentations used for virtual collaboration or a simple white boarding exercise . Visualization as the explained in the visualization tools video in the course by Angela Myer , allow us to think visually in a nonverbal manner . It could be a visual aid like slides , pictures , videos , white boards or could be swim lane diagrams , cross functional diagrams etc .
Application :
For one such cross functional project , we deployed cross functional diagrams , to layout the overall process and define ‘ what is ’ state . This exercise started with the individual functional teams to map out the existing process . These teams comprised of subject matter experts , operators who normally follow the process / procedure and produce the outcomes and one of the team managers . We used various techniques , to complete this like interviewing teams , observing the process on the shop floor and using the existing documents like procedures , training material etc . Team started with the identifying the boundaries , where does the process begin and end . What were the handoffs beyond those boundaries ? We reviewed the steps of the process , observed the sequencing and any other interdependencies . Based on these team came up with a flow chart which was reviewed with the functional designees to ensure they are complete and represent the current state of the process . Through such exercises with each of the functions , team documented processes and clearly identified the inputs , outputs and handoff points for each of the functions .
Once all the inputs were brought together to layout the wing to wing process maps which the customer actually experiences . It allowed each of the functions to have a better understanding of how their upstream processes impact their input and how do they in turn have an impact on their downstream processes . These common understanding , allowed the team to think from a customer value perspective and break out of their individual silos . This allowed the team to review each activity and determine if it adds value for the customer or not .
Insight and Approach
We have been using visual aids more so power points extensively to drive discussions due to the geographic diversity of the teams and to ensure every one understand the context of the discussion or problems and the ideas being discussed . We started using the cross functional diagrams and value stream mappings for all our cross functional programs to drive a common understanding of the value creation for the customers . Post the sessions , I realized these are formal tools which are used as part of the design thinking process and invokes different thoughts and forces us to use more of right brain thinking rather than falling back on the logic . Design thinking allows us to find innovative new solutions for problems and visualization allows us to see the current state , define the problem more holistically rather than our functional view . This allows to build buy in and better appreciation of the other functions pain points and allows us to question why we have been doing things in a particular manner and what it means to try out new approaches can we quickly prototype and have some learning launches .

Challenge & Selection
Brainstorming was the tool that I and my team used on designing my first entrepreneurship project , which is to create a small - scale fitness center located in a residential area in East Jakarta . We used this approach together with our potential employees ( ex - mega gym which suspended its operation due to the pandemic ) with the scope to identify the required equipment , location layout , programs , and gym rules where the customers can comfortably exercise at our location despite of being in the pandemic . We already collected the data beforehand from our potential customers ( residents and members from the existing fitness centers with a radius of 2 km from the potential locations ) on identifying the pain points that the customers experienced from the competitors and opportunities that we could create as the solutions to be the best - in - class fitness center in the area .
Application
We started the process by explaining to everyone on the benefits of taking a more customers focused , ensuring that we make use of all the collected data that we already collected previously and avoid using our own assumptions in defining our fitness center concept .
During the brainstorming sessions , the 7 team members sat together and wrote down every idea into a flip chart , divided into a 4 sessions ( each session takes ~45 minutes ) . The topics are varied on each session , such as : 1 ) What are the main drivers to make feel comfortable to exercise in the fitness center during the pandemic ? 2 ) What competitive advantage we can have compared to the existing rivals ? 3 ) What are the marketing strategy alternatives to grasp the potential customers ?
I ensured that everyone must get his / her chance to speak of what ’s inside their mind and every idea shall be documented / written on the board . We also emphasized that there is no such thing as judging or rejection is allowed on any participant ’s idea ( remember , all insights are valuable ! ) and make sure that we were having an open discussion so that everyone have a good understanding every delivered insights .
The other important thing that I emphasized to the participant is that the brainstorming session is not a forum where the team will make a decision as the outcome ( not the “ What Works ” or “ What Wows ” yet ! ) , but instead it is a forum where the team must capture every possibilities , trends , and uncertainties . Throughout the forums , as a facilitator , we also managed to group the similar / shared insights , ensuring that the results can be easily used for the next designing steps .
Insight & Approach
By having the brainstorming session , our team managed to identify so many useful insights could be retrieved especially since the team members consist of stakeholders from various position ( investors , personal trainers , customers – experienced and newbie ) . From the outcome , we hopefully can identify the main problems to be solved in the next design phases – that is , the simplest ones to be facilitated and who and how to engage the potential costumers .
Another point to be noted is that before the team could conduct a good brainstorming session , we need to emphasize everyone to be having a data - driven mindset and be hindered from using his / her own assumption . It must be ensured that every idea in the brainstorming session purely came from the data collected in the previous phase .
Since I discovered that at this stage the most valuable aspect is to collect the insights or ideas from all stakeholders with various position , I believe that brainstorming session is definitely the key tool to ensure we can build a satisfying product for a series of design thinking activities . I will use this method again for my upcoming entrepreneur project , so grateful to have learnt it !
