Challenge & Selection
I work for a large company . We have offices in 10 different countries and hundreds of
workers . I am in charge of the development of the tool most of them use for work every
day .
As you may imagine , communication in an environment with so many different people ,
languages and different cultural backgrounds is not easy . We had problems before
developing the tool in the right direction because of misunderstandings between the
different offices and us , or even between the developers and me .
I decided to try Storytelling as a way to improve the communication . Storytelling would
help everyone understand each other , being more empathic , and bring context at every
stage of communication .
Application
Briefly , my work consist in talking to the countries , gathering their problems and needs ,
then , communicating these to developers that will build tools for them .
I used storytelling in 2 different ways :
When I talk to the local offices :
Before , they used to tell me : “ Hey Felice , next to the car information , we need a button
that sends an email to the previous owner . ”
Now , I ask them more questions , and force them to build a story . They will go for
something like : “ When the worker finish the inspection of a car and save the report , he
usually goes to the list . Then he needs to send an email to the previous owner of the car to
confirm the transaction . ”
When I define the task for the team of developers :
Before , I will just communicate : “ We need a new button next to the car information that
sends an email to the previous owner . ”
Now , I will explain the entire story to the developers . We will go through the task together
and , usually , we find better solutions . E.g. In the previous case , one of the developers
proposed to automate the email delivery , as it always needed to happen .
In this case , storytelling improved the communication , brought more context and made
everyone understand each other ’s needs .
Insight & Approach
Storytelling helped with the communication , forced us to always think about the context ,
and help the programmers think in how a worker is doing his job .
It also brought empathy in the company to these departments . My office is a pure
technical office ( we work only with computers developing digital tools ) . The rest of the
offices have tools , inspectors , cars … For us , it is very easy to lose context and not being
able to relate to who is using our tools . Storytelling helped us to think in each other , to be
more empathic .
There are more people in my company doing my same job . I am trying to make them
understand how well this change worked for me , although , they are quite afraid of
changes .
I think this course gave me a few tools I can use at work . To improve communication , to
bring new ideas to the company and , finally , to get my job done better .

Challenge I work for a local government ( council ) in Melbourne , Australia . Management and elected members were concerned that council managed community facilities were difficult to access by community organisations and members of the public . My team is not responsible for the management / booking of any facilities , however , is responsible for planning for the demand for additional facilities . The scoping stage of the challenge indicated that : • Council hired 56 facilities • Facilities were managed by 5 different departments ( 8 different work units ) • There were 32 different customer categories • More than 140 different fee options • Seven different booking systems • Eight different booking forms and hire agreements
The project scope was to : • Improve the experience for the customer , while not centralising the management internally • Optimise community access and use of council managed community facilities
The project was considered a wicked problem to solve because : • The problem was human - centered - we had no information about how intricacies of the
management system , nor customer experiences / expectations
• There were too many moving parts to clearly understand / document the problem as such we
relied on gut - feeling
• There was a large amount of uncertainty around what the current practices were • Whilst there was a corporate booking system , the data was unusable for analysis
Due to lack of data , storytelling was a powerful tool to keep the project ’s momentum and to trial a number of ideas .
Selection One of the biggest challenges was for the different officers in charge of bookings to accept current practices were inefficient and bad customer service . As it was impossible to apply process or analytical thinking to this problem , storytelling was a powerful tool to get consensus and buy - in to the project . It was essential the catalyst for a series of little changes to current practices that had long term positive benefits to the organisation and community groups .
Application There were many stories told to help describe the current situation . For example : • The story of a bogus example of what it is like to deal with council when contact is made to book
facilities , the trials , the tribulations and the frustrations from a customer ’s perspective . The story started by describing the customer , a non - English speaking older lady with no interest .
• The story about how council potentially can ask the same community volunteer for the same
piece of paper 17 times every year .
These stories helped set the scene . From there ideas were generate from a number of unlikely officers to improve the situation . My name is Menna and throughout the process I used the ‘ Menna ’s Dancing Dogs ’ as a bogus storytelling narrator . So much so , that stakeholders were using ‘ Menna ’s Dancing Dogs ’ when talking about ideas in later stages of the project .
Insight and approach Storytelling was used a lot . Some stories were real life examples modified to protect the identity of customers , others were fictitious to either provide insight to current practices or to test / talk through ideas .
Storytellng , in its many forms used of the last couple of months , have been pivotal in helping people stay focused , to share experiences , and most importantly emphasise with council ’s customers - especially in an environment where there were considered a nuisance and difficult to deal with .
In two months , officers have implemented a number of changes , most have been successful - some were not successful but ones that we still learnt lesson from .

Challenge
I ’m a student at Africa Nazarene university pursuing Civil Engineering ( B.E. ) in India . While I was doing research for my final year project on concrete innovation I found out that , concrete was a very mature field . Already many research had being done on it , and the main problem was that it hard to find what is done , what is to be done . There is more that 10000 + research paper on concrete . It is really hard to read all the 10000 + papers . Even if we dive into sub - category of concrete , yet there is more than 2000 + paper to read . Reading all this 2000 + paper would require months only to find what is to be done which not quite efficient in today ’s fast moving world . So to make the time required to find out what is to be done , from months to just few minutes .
Selection
With help of visualization tool , I developed a website which help in finding what research is done before and what is to be done . Researcher can easily find the information needed and what is done and what is to be done . And more importantly within minutes instead of months
Application
While I was doing literature survey for my final year project ( concrete innovation ) . I faced a serious problem with data . The problem was not that I had less data ; the problem was I had vast scattered data ( 10000 + research paper ) . To read this data and extract information required would take months of reading . Concrete is a really vast and mature field , already many research had been done on concrete in past . The main problem was to find out what is to be done one had read all research paper not fully , but briefly which would take months . I wondered if there would be website which provided us with sorted and filtered data required .
I decided I would develop this kind of website and started using the visualization tool to prepare a plan for launching of this website . With tool of visualization , I prepared a plan and format for website . I had all data to answer the question what is ? And I used visualization tool to develop what if ? The final result the task which required months before could be done in matter of minutes with ease and efficiency . With help of visualization tool I simplified the idea to help other non - technical investor to understand it and invest in it . To explain my website in brief , concrete has seven characteristics ( compressive strength , tensile strength , durability , w / c ratio , workability , setting time , flexural strength ) that further subdivided into four sub - category(by replacement of cement , fine aggregate , coarse aggregate , admixtures ) each category having detailed information about project and links to research paper . In short making the process of months reducing it to few minutes , saving enormous time .
Insight and Approach
What I have learned from conducting exercise visualization tool work wonderfully from creating business idea to convincing investor to invest in our project . Visualization tool help us innovate new idea . With visualization tool I was able to convince investor to invest in our project by simplifying the idea with help of flow chart . I was able to convince my college to invest in my project ( for expense of website like domain charges , design firm charges ) .
With the help of visualization tool I can share insight of the project with simplicity . With help of feedback from the user I can use it to improvise our service . Next time I would use the visualization activity as a starting point for a series of design thinking activities

At present only a fraction of this data is used to derive biological insights , while the remainder is stored but not analyzed . In an internal research & development ( R&D ) project , a member of the Data Science team and I were challenged to create a new software workflow that would mine this unused data and report key features . Within our collaboration , I understand the data , how it is generated and how to interpret it , while my collaborator is an expert in algorithms and software . The challenge was that , because the new software is intended as an internal R&D tool rather than a customer - facing product , we were given only a broad mandate for what it should do , without specific details such as feature requirements for the software , criteria for success , or tools to use in accomplishing those aims . Selection We were able to construct a prototype for the new software by working from first principles and without taking much time to reflect on the overall structure of the project . However , once we began to process real data and iteratively improve the software , it became clear that we needed a more structured approach to plan and prioritize the work remaining to be done .

To this end , I chose the Visualization tool because , as mentioned in module 1 , it would help to make our ideas concrete and show us options for further development of the software . Application In my implementation of the Visualization tool , I created a flowchart - like process map for our software because it was a natural way to represent the path that data would take from input ( raw data ) to output ( key features ) . Each software process or algorithm was represented as a node in the flowchart , color - coded by status , such as complete , in - progress , or new . Conceptually similar processes were grouped together .

Insight One of the immediate insights I drew from the visualization exercise was to determine which of the existing software components were “ good enough for now ” while others needed further refinement and/or testing . I also generated at least one new idea simply by mapping out the software ’s raw data inputs and realizing that one of them was completely unutilized . But perhaps the most surprising insight came from mapping out the software ’s outputs . Although I thought I already knew what those outputs would be , being forced to spell out this information in the process map led to another , critical realization – specifically , that implementing a novel type of intelligent database search was the key next step for getting to the desired outputs . We then focused on developing that search for the ensuing 4 - 6 weeks , and it led to a quantum leap in our ability to process new features , which in turn attracted attention from our company ’s leadership team and won us additional resources for experimental testing . Approach Having experienced firsthand the power of the Visualization tool not only in organizing existing ideas , but also in generating new ones , I strongly feel that it would be helpful to apply Visualization at an earlier stage of project planning . I believe that , if we had done so in this particular project , we may have saved time and allocated effort more efficiently : for example , we
could have identified and focused on critical components earlier on in the software development process , and we could have avoided rewriting parts of the code to accommodate new features if we had anticipated the need for those features from the start .

The product we were in charge was called Manyar and it´s a mobile application to look for restaurant information and menu and also to get dishes recommendations ( we used machine learning for this one ) .
However , as COVID-19 stroke in Peru ( we are already in day 60 and restaurants have been closed all this time ) we needed to change our business model in order to survive . We have a limited budget and could n’t afford to undertake a big bet and be mistaken . This is where Design Thinking enters .
Selection
We decided to use the Learning Launch since this would allow us to test small bets and measure the results in order to get fast and cheap feedback from our users -as explained in the video about Learning Launch . We would then use this feedback to learn if our ideas would serve to have a business model pivot towards a new one .
Since conducting this pivot in the traditional way would involve time and money ( and both were limited resources to us ) , Learning Launch became a natural alternative to our challenge , since as the course stated , it provides a better solution that is based on feedback instead of the traditional way based on assumptions and tweaks .
Application
We decided to create small experiments . We had a Business Model Canvas from the previous business model and we copied it 4 times in order to create 4 pivots we would like to test on the real market with real customers .
Our principal criteria was the find product - market fit , which would allow the new business model to grow and ideally become profitable . So , we select the 4 most voted ideas from our visual brainstorming session- conducted with stakeholders and early adopters from our business model . It was challenging since we had to conduct this sessions remotely due to social isolation but we managed to get everybody communicated using the tool Mural which also allows us to use visual tools to facilitate communication among people . Once in Mural , we managed to rank the 4 most voted pivots : gastronomy social network , take - away and delivery solution , restaurant to consumer marketplace and recipes / cook - it - yourself app .
We got the usability results from our previous user research and used it to design 4 prototypes using the Marvel tool in order to have a testable high - fidelity version of the 4 new pivots , presented as mobile applications . Marvel also allows you to install those prototypes on the phones so we had to distributed these new versions according to a split test .
We selected 100 users who liked or loved us ( had an NPS higher than 8) and also 100 users who hated us ( NPS lower than 3 ) . We then created 4 random samples of 50 people ( 25 from each segment ) to test the pivots . We called and emailed the people and got down to 40 people per sample since some of them never answered . After that , we sent the prototypes via WhatsApp so they could download it directly on
their smartphones / iPhones . After the test , we conducted some interviews to get qualitative and quantitative feedback from users .
Insights
The learning launch was successful . We managed to get information about the prototypes and learned our customers did n’t care about the delivery and take - away pivot since they were still fearing the COVID and believed restaurants could potentially lie about or make mistakes about security measures to prevent COVID . Even though they idea sounded good , most of the people learned to cook and were improving at their cooking skills as quarantine continued . This insight was radical to the point only 1 person ( which lived in upper - class part of Lima city ) mentioned they would consider using this application .
This applied to restaurant - user marketplace since it also involved restaurants . It seemed like customers were really doubting about restaurants implementing and executing security measures correctly . They also wanted to have more control about the food they and their families ate .
On the other side , the prototypes about cook - it - yourself and the gastronomy social network were the one with better appreciation . Insights about having recipes and cook - it - yourself content inside the social network were flowing in more than 80 % of users ( 82.5 % ) . For cook - it - yourself prototype , people told they wanted to have a social usage , to share and get recipes and information with their families and friends , who where locked away due to COVID . 67.5 % of the users provided this feedback .
Overall , this allowed us to unify both prototypes into a food social network we could them take to a next iteration of the prototype and also allowed us to create surveys which we would pass to all our users in order to understand which features they would prefer to have implemented first .
Approach
The usage of Learning Launch was successful since it has allowed us to launch a business model pivot which we just launched and got 1000 active users in the first weekend .
However , what I would do differently is to couple Mind Mapping as an alternative to traditional brainstorming since this would avoid getting bias and too much confirmation bias about own ideas and instead focus the development of ideas around design criteria . It would also allow us to consider the number of design criteria met as a way to rank ideas instead of conducting a simple voting , which can lead to some powerful ideas because we resist them for their novelty .

I work in sales and we often have clients who are interested in certain products . We want to help them to become more innovative and start to use automation . The challenge is that the client does not have much time , they are not efficient in their day jobs and our challenge is that we are assigned the account so only have 1 point of view .
I chose the mind mapping tool as we use this as a meeting tool to gather further data . In this case we are using it to gather further insights into how we can help a client . A mind map can be a spider diagram or a sticky note session where we use multiple people from an organisation to support us .
In our team group at work we run ‘ green hat ’ sessions in which we use mind mapping or sticky note sessions . Firstly we tell the other team members about the clients challenges and our own challenges within the account and then we use the sticky note session to gain everyone ’s thoughts , feelings and ideas on ways to move forward and support the client with innovation and automation .
We find this extremely useful as at the end of the session we choose the top 3 - 4 ideas after voting and use these to our advantage to map an idea strategy within the account . Sometimes this can be extremely powerful but other times we may get repeat answers .
In future we should focus on fresh ideas and try not to repeat our answers too often . If we repeat too many ideas then we may become complacent and not expand our new accounts in the correct way

Challenge
I recently joined an Engineering college that is relatively young , as a Faculty Lead in the department of Campus placements and Career Planning for the students of Engineering . In this eight semester program , the students have to attend the Campus Placement drives in their 7th semester to secure a job . Companies from the core and non - core sectors visit the campus to select the students based on their performance in the Campus selection process . The students have to get through a series of tests viz Aptitude and Communication skills , Technical expertise , group discussions and Personal interview , to get the placement offer . Over the past couple of years it is observed that only 40 - 50 % of the students of the college were getting selected in good companies in spite of the students being academically bright ( having more than 8.5 GPA out of 10 ) and trained well for the job selection .
The college is located around 50 miles away from the main city . It ’s a 90 minute drive . Most of the students commute using college buses . Students spend around three and half hours in the journey ( to and fro ) . From the 6th semester , a three hour Campus placement training is given for all the students on all working days . In fact the college provides all the facilities like the necessary training from experienced faculty , very good library , good academic ambience , etc that can make a student successful . But the students had little success . The college administration tried to improve the situation by getting more experienced trainers , increasing the training hours , introducing more practice hours ( for example , in coding , aptitude and reasoning , etc ) , improve their communication skills , etc . But they did n’t see any significant improvement in the overall placements . We got a little over a month to find a solution .
Selection
My previous experience of working and leading in different domains in a reputed and a well established institution viz . , Branding , Placement team , Editorial board , Sports In charge , Faculty lead – student clubs , Active Member – Board of Studies , etc helped me with a broad repertoire of experience in the activities related to student community and functioning of the college . After deliberating with my team , we decided to use the Learning launch tool in the matter related to student success in Campus placements . I want to test an idea that would bring out the reasons of failure of students in Campus Placements . And thereby we can take appropriate measures to improve the situation . So we thought learning Launch tool is very apt for this exercise .
Application :
As a team , for our Learning Launch , we want to know the as many factors as possible that are affecting the preparation of the student for the campus placements . I thought that our team has to interact with all the people / stakeholders who are directly or indirectly involved in the students ’ success . So my idea is to use 360 degree feedback method to ascertain the reasons and possible solutions . I know that this method is generally used for employee performance review . But with slight modification I want use this method to try to solve our problem . Since the time was less and the task is big , I increased my team size
also . We made sure that all of us have a common understanding of the problem and the method used to try to arrive at a possible solution .
Initially we identified the people with whom we have to interact and understand points of view regarding the students ’ success . We want to interact with all of them initially through a questionnaire and then a personal interaction . We understood that we have to get in touch with Top management , Faculty , parents , placement team , the trainers , the alumni , psychologists ( if any ) , student peers , etc from the college and also with people from the industry and senior academicians from other reputed institutions ( 360 degrees ) . All the questionnaires are customized based the category of person . We have given one week to send back their responses .
We have got a wealth of suggestions / opinions for this seemingly difficult problem . After comprehending them we also had a personal interaction with most of the respondents .
Insight
Learning launch tool helped us to recognize our assumptions and we made sure that launches test these assumptions . This tool helped us to know that there are many reasons that previously not known or anticipated that affects the students ’ success in campus placements . I want to mention a few here . For example , from the students ’ response we understood that the training is effective only if it conducted in the early morning ( not in the late afternoon , which is the case in general ) . From the parents we got to know that their wards have lot of distractions at home and also they are losing enough time during the travel . ( Now we made the training in - house – all students stay in the campus during the training period ) . From the people from the industry , we came to know that the students lack some important skills that industry expects like critical thinking and problem solving skills , working in teams , proper communication skills , etc . Like this , the Learning Launch tool not only helped us to test our assumptions in an effective manner but also have thrown some new insights into how we have to train our students into their future .
Approach :
This tool helped us to look at a specific problem from different perspectives . I believe that if the problem ( similar to the problem we had ) involves many different players or has a freedom to withstand few failures , Launch tool is a good option . In my opinion , the choice of the tool depends on the type of problem we have at hand . One size fits all approach is not appropriate to arrival at effective solutions .
The design thinking - led collaborations will definitely helps us to improve the quality and novelty of the approaches to solve problems of the future . It would be the best approach to find solutions to human- centered problems . Design thinking mindset would definitely help both organizations and individuals to find creative and optimal solutions .

Since my childhood even now , everyday whenever I used to study chemistry , maths , physics , or any subject or a piece of text or a story I had a difficulty in remembering the relations with the given members or properties or links and contacts , for example in chemistry in the inorganic part there is a lot stuff to memorize like the properties of that element , general reactions and properties , so what I did took the main element as centre one and wrote the reactions , properties and related information around and kept them in cloud shape and kept certain colour code for a set to make it look attractive for better understanding .
Select Mind Mapping
In introducing mind mapping technique to my friends and they started using it and used to create mind mapping trees for even a small piece of information , where they can classify the information and make it more clear for them and I remember in history to remember events in the same year now we are using this mapping to represent the events in that particular year which makes us to remember easily .
APPILICATIONS OF MIND MAPPING
Application of this mind mapping technique has a wide range from a small kid 's gathering information to , a huge company discussing it 's new product 's requirements and cops or
soldiers to keep a track for the criminals and so on . We used it for primary purposes like solving a tricky story puzzle , remembering my relations , remembering properties of elements and for such small ones .
USES OF MIND MAPPING
By applying the mind mapping tool , it has become easy for our group , to complete the given task , not only easily , but even a quick way to understand deep enough to perform the activity or other jobs given to complete and performing in organized manner and accomplishing the task ahead of the schedule and succeeding it and helped in dealing with other problems regarding the task
APPROACH TO MIND MAPPING :
• My fellow members did try other methods to represent
the data but the other methods were not that efficient as this is , it helped me and my fellow mates to solve an issue easily and represent the information gathered when attended workshops and explaining to other people , this is the best
MIND MAPPING TECHINQUES
• ln mind mapping techniques follow similar
guidelines : It starts with a single idea that is represented with text , color or image . More subsidiary ideas are added around the main idea and connect with it by lines . Unified hierarchy styles should be implemented through the mind map .

guidelines : It starts with a single idea that is represented with text , color or image . More subsidiary ideas are added around the main idea and connect with it by lines . Unified hierarchy styles should be implemented through the mind map .

Not knowing the first thing about Design Thinking , it was a bit of a learning process for me . But after some guidance from the facilitator the session progressed very well , and the ideas started pouring in . During the ideation process I quickly realized many of the issues identified were directly related to a lack of communication within the department . The Design thinking session focused on a different idea and the session went a different way , but the communication issues stayed with me until well after the session had ended . A coworker had recently been working on a project to create an internal web page to stay on top of important information across the company and had asked for my assistance with the project . After the Design Thinking session , we came together and realized this might be a solution to the many problems addressed in the session Application We performed a " pivot " to that existing project and started adapting the web page to address the many communication issues within the team . We started with a simple design and reached out to various people within the department to gather some data and applied some changes based on that data . We reached out to people outside of the department to gather more data and applied more changes . When we rolled out the initial page it was still in its early stages without all the bells and whistles . The result was a centralized place for communication within the department and the response was very positive . The page has since undergone many changes and updates and is now a widely used source within the department . Insight and Approach I realized that I did n’t have to come up with a perfect solution to the problem . My own bias would n’t allow me to see all the issues with our original design . It was through gathering data from peers that we were able to identify and resolve many issues . And , by rolling out an incomplete page , we were able to “ test and learn ” to a better design . While the time from concept to design was only a few weeks , the next time I will create a prototype faster and roll it out faster . This will allow me to quickly pivot and make the necessary changes to the idea , or to shelf the idea completely if it does n’t work .

Challenge
I direct a country chapter of an international NGO with six sub - national sister companies . As our mission lies in enabling youth mobility around the globe , our operations have been severely affected by the current Covid-19 pandemic . As such , all busines functions , from finance , HR , marketing , BDev and operations are differently affected . Each local management team and each function has their own opinion and supposed solution ideas to their individual issue . Our challenge is to consolidate these insights into solution design criteria that are viable , desired by clients and economically sustainable , as described throughout the course .
Selection
This status quo puts us into the second “ what if ” stage and suggests mind mapping as an alternative technique to reduce the options available and to identify the ‘ sweet spot ’ of a harmonized business recovery design . Mind mapping can visualize patterns among the collected data and insights of the regional VPs , particularly as each function has a way of presenting evidence and arguments that may not be conductive to the others . Additionally , as Moran points out , mind mapping is a creative way of organizing insights , which should help us draw connections that we would not have anticipated .
Application
The idea is to bring relevant internal and external stakeholders together and share their previously gathered insights and perspectives . Each regional business function has done market research for their area . Marketing and business development have interviewed clients for pains , gains and current outlooks . Finance has built best and worst case scenarios . HR brings in observations and interviews from how staff in faring under Covid-19 . Additionally , industry and client insights are supplied by the presence of board of trustees members and dedicated staff . A former HR staff is invited to facilitate the session .
Headquarters provide a large space , where the evidence of the different group is hung on walls and flipcharts . An engaging and comfortable atmosphere is prepared , as suggested by the IBM example . After an introduction by the CEO to address the urgency of the situation , the facilitator introduces the core design thinking principles to create an open - minded and creative vibe . Tables are designated for each product category and participants are asked to wander around and select evidence that gives them new insights and ideas for product development , or that triangulate existing observations .
At each product table , participants present the observations they made and these are subsequently grouped on a flipchart . As Moor explains , this follows the ‘ What if anything were possible ’ guiding question . The task is to produce a ‘ wild and radical ’ idea from the given evidence in the form of a mind map . The table groups are thereafter asked to mix , with only one original member from the table remaining to explain the co - created idea to new listeners . These listeners shall then ‘ challenge ’ the idea , based on the evidence and discussion they had .
Insights
The atmosphere of this event was highly constructive and participants enjoyed being creative beyond their usual functional scope . In particular , the external insights from how other NGOs and companies address their clients during the current crisis has seemingly given many managers new
perspectives on what is possible . Together with the various local insights from the marketing departments , we were able to identify very distinct and novel customer pains and needs across our customer segments . This could provide a basis for persona - building , as in the social network example of the Coursera course . Conducting this alternative approach has certainly sensitivized management for a more customer - centric way of planning and doing operations .
Approach
On the other hand , the instructions to the participants may have been too much forward pushing , as most table groups ended up producing a solution idea that they did not want to see challenged any more . This however , is what would happen in the now subsequent third design thinking stage . We thus failed to use mind mapping as a tool for creating design criteria . This could hinder the open and iterative further process of eliciting how viable , demanded and economically sustainable each product development idea really is .

Challenge
I work in software sales, focused around customer experience and the discussions that are had can be quite complicated. The conversations occur in a discovery workshop and often include many customer stakeholders in different roles ranging from doers such as marketers to high level management like CMO’s and also multiple areas of the business like IT and Marketing. With this comes a few challenges; how do I facilitate these discussions to uncover requirements and needs while also capturing all the relevant detail in a way that makes it easy for me to process later . Second to that, how do I then articulate those recommendations back to the customer in an effective way that not only everyone will understand but also will buy in to .
Selection
I selected Visualization from Week 1 to help me through my customer discovery and workshop . Visualization is the idea of using visual aids such as pictures, diagrams, slides, etc to stimulate and use the right side of the brain to enable more creative thinking and imagination. This is important when we’re looking for possibilities and trying to imagine what a new solution might look like. In this case we’ll be using it to map out their customer experience and without using visualization it ’s extremely difficult to identify any gaps. It’s also a great way to get better understanding and engagement from an audience. It allows us and even the customer to get a deeper understand their requirements and often uncover requirements and / or gaps they didn’t even know they had as you’re looking at the entirety of the customer experience and not just specific parts .
Application
There were two main examples of when I used the tool; the first was in a Workshop when I was doing Discovery for a prospect. We needed to understand where the gaps were in their Customer Experience and how our solution and software could fill those gaps. The whiteboard and visualization helped us map out the current customer experience and allowed us to easily find those gaps by seeing the experience as a whole and then identify which parts needed attention. By leveraging the whiteboard it really opened the discussion to all roles and parts of the business who were then able to contribute and question the experience in a way they hadn’t been able to do previously. The first image shows the different stages of the customer in blue and the customer experience in red, the black oval highlights the area for improvement .
The second example was going back to show our findings and recommendations. In this session we took what we had on the whiteboard and made it digital and presented in a easy to read format. This diagram not only captured what was on the whiteboard but also included our recommendations which were the boxes that were filled. By having the unfilled and filled boxes it was very easy for everyone to see how much our software could improve their customer experience, and you don’t even need to look at the specific experiences to see how much of an improvement out software and solution would be. (Examples are blurry because there real customer use case )
Insight
The whiteboarding session in the workshop allowed the Customer and me to identify that their customers experience, once they became a customer, was really lacking. Because it was visualized , not only were we quickly able to identify specific areas of improvement but it really opened their eyes across the entire customer experience. Visualizing the experience also helped facilitate discussions not only about the current experience but also the future experience. For example they immediately identified they wanted to start sending Birthday and Anniversary emails to keep their customers engaged throughout the year. Having this insight now meant I could come back with a recommendation that focused on improving their customer engagement once they became customers. Also, because we identified that together, the customer knows they need a solution that solves for that .
Approach
Next time, I would leverage Storytelling when I go back and provide my findings and recommendations to the Customer. I’ve highlighted how important Visualization was to capture and present back the gaps in the Customer Experience, but then taking that to the next level using Storytelling would really help elevate the conversation. Then it goes beyond just talking about specific experiences and becomes more of an overall vision of what the new Customer Experience might look like and this is much easier for the Customer to buy in to especially when presenting to higher level management or the c - suite .

Challenge :
I work as a user experience consultant where I try to make better human experiences . My solutions are primarily towards digital and interactive applications which have complex and inter - connected processes . These applications are often at an enterprise level which touch upon various diverse groups of individuals and teams and each having one or more roles . I would like to talk about such an assignment that I ’m working on currently . It involves designing a consumer marketing platform for a global publishing organization .
While engaging with the different groups of users , it was evident that the team as a whole is clear that they need a comprehensive platform but are unable to envision a holistic solution to make it happen . There is a lot of data that is produced , processed and further refined in the different processes that they do . Different groups have their own indigenous way of managing their processes which leads to a siloed approach where more than 60 % of the tasks are being done in an offline fashion . Duplication of data , results in version control and consistency issues leading to errors which in turn lead to business loss .
There is strong need to find common touchpoints , identify the hand - offs and create a standard , consistent and user - friendly process which provides a better experience .
Selection :
In the session on Mind Mapping in the Module 3 , the formal definition is provided as : “ Mind mapping is looking for patterns and insights in a large quantity of data you collected during your exploration of what is the current reality . The goal is to establish criteria for the what - if idea generation phase . Which comes next . ”
Borrowing on the same , I decided to use Mind Mapping as the tool for applying design thinking to this problem solving for seeking “ what is ? ” . It was clear that there is a lot of data being handled , a lot of data points which keep repeating or used with different names . It becomes essential to discover and identify the key building blocks , different processes associated with them , the intents and their individual journeys and assimilate them further to refine and arrive at a required solution . Adoption of mind mapping , will help me to identify the patterns which could help in identifying the common touchpoints across the different building blocks and how one block is connected to the other . It would also help me to understand if the output from one could lead to being the input for the other and if yes , how does it evolve and connect with each other to create the required journey ribbon for this application .
Application :
To start with , I set up initial discussions , with the different groups , separately , to gather different data points . I asked the groups to share their respective data points and how they define them . I also asked them identify the core building blocks that they perceive and where their individual processes fit in . Once I received the various inputs , I invited them to a joint workshop for a mind mapping exercise through a card - sorting process . Based on the initial assimilation and pre - workshop activity , I provided
indicative names for the different building blocks that would constitute this overall application . I had also created small post - it notes for each of the data points that the various groups had shared with me . During this joint session , I requested each of the groups to come to the white board and paste the post- it data points to the closest logical building block they felt it could be associated to . They were free to add more post - it notes , based on what they found , could have been missed out .
Post this exercise , the groups were surprised to see that they seemed to have same data points but called them differently . They were also able to see how the different blocks could possibly be connected and how they could engage better . The below image is one of the rough whiteboarding exercise arrived at , post the mapping exercise .
It also helped to identify and define the journey across the different stages and the processes and where the output of one , was leading to be input for the other , as shown below :
The Mind Mapping tool used here , seemed to be effective to a large extent and helped to achieve the goal of identifying and mapping the similar data points and establishing a high - level relationship between the various blocks . So it helped to address the “ What is ? ” aspect .
Insight :
The mind mapping tool has been effective to this requirement as it clearly helped to gather the various datapoints , collate in the required groups , create a relationship and structure within each of the core blocks . It also helped to easily connect the different dots as it is more creative , more visual , and more engaging . It ’s a great team building exercise too with a very strategic intent which can bring in an effective solution between siloed groups within the same organization working for a common larger goal . It helped to identify the required hierarchy of the information and the data within the larger structure and within the building blocks . It also helped to create the initial framework for the required information architecture at an application level .
Approach :
While the Mind Mapping tool was useful to achieve some of the goals from “ What is ? ” perspective , we did run into smaller situations where the different users had different perceptions of how it should flow from one process to other as each group had a different visual model on it . I feel that one single tool may not be effective as much as augmenting another tool with the primary one .
Along with Mind Mapping as the primary tool , Visualization , from Module 1 , as the secondary tool would be a great combination for this exercise that I did . Visualization would help to draw the different flows and then overlap one over the other to show the similarities and synergies between the different processes . It would also help to build a better visual diagram of the how different roles within these different processes handle the same data but at different stages of the overall flow . Representing similar or connected blocks with same colors would help to identify similar groups of users and how they can think and work collectively for that piece application and reduce redundant steps or data points . It would also help to bring in another dimension such as similar roles across the different groups and help study that pattern as well .

Adoption of mind mapping , will help me to identify the patterns which could help in identifying the common touchpoints across the different building blocks and how one block is connected to the other . It would also help me to understand if the output from one could lead to being the input for the other and if yes , how does it evolve and connect with each other to create the required journey ribbon for this application .
Application :
To start with , I set up initial discussions , with the different groups , separately , to gather different data points . I asked the groups to share their respective data points and how they define them . I also asked them identify the core building blocks that they perceive and where their individual processes fit in . Once I received the various inputs , I invited them to a joint workshop for a mind mapping exercise through a card - sorting process . Based on the initial assimilation and pre - workshop activity , I provided
indicative names for the different building blocks that would constitute this overall application . I had also created small post - it notes for each of the data points that the various groups had shared with me . During this joint session , I requested each of the groups to come to the white board and paste the post- it data points to the closest logical building block they felt it could be associated to . They were free to add more post - it notes , based on what they found , could have been missed out .
Post this exercise , the groups were surprised to see that they seemed to have same data points but called them differently . They were also able to see how the different blocks could possibly be connected and how they could engage better . The below image is one of the rough whiteboarding exercise arrived at , post the mapping exercise .
It also helped to identify and define the journey across the different stages and the processes and where the output of one , was leading to be input for the other , as shown below :
The Mind Mapping tool used here , seemed to be effective to a large extent and helped to achieve the goal of identifying and mapping the similar data points and establishing a high - level relationship between the various blocks . So it helped to address the “ What is ? ” aspect .
Insight :
The mind mapping tool has been effective to this requirement as it clearly helped to gather the various datapoints , collate in the required groups , create a relationship and structure within each of the core blocks . It also helped to easily connect the different dots as it is more creative , more visual , and more engaging . It ’s a great team building exercise too with a very strategic intent which can bring in an effective solution between siloed groups within the same organization working for a common larger goal . It helped to identify the required hierarchy of the information and the data within the larger structure and within the building blocks . It also helped to create the initial framework for the required information architecture at an application level .
Approach :
While the Mind Mapping tool was useful to achieve some of the goals from “ What is ? ” perspective , we did run into smaller situations where the different users had different perceptions of how it should flow from one process to other as each group had a different visual model on it . I feel that one single tool may not be effective as much as augmenting another tool with the primary one .
Along with Mind Mapping as the primary tool , Visualization , from Module 1 , as the secondary tool would be a great combination for this exercise that I did . Visualization would help to draw the different flows and then overlap one over the other to show the similarities and synergies between the different processes . It would also help to build a better visual diagram of the how different roles within these different processes handle the same data but at different stages of the overall flow . Representing similar or connected blocks with same colors would help to identify similar groups of users and how they can think and work collectively for that piece application and reduce redundant steps or data points . It would also help to bring in another dimension such as similar roles across the different groups and help study that pattern as well .

Challenge
I ’m a teenager who still in college , and right now I ’m on a semester break for 3 months . That is make me so boring at this time , but not too long ago I was planning for some business with my friend . Our plan is making a T - shirt custom shops for online , but we specify the design of the logos or the picture in the T- shirt are only for automotive things . As the new entrepreneur , I think this is a challenge for me and my friend .
Selection
Me and my friends has already gone through several design thinking activities , so I think this is the time to take the learning launch , as we learnt at week 4 that learning launches is the most effective and quick experiment of our idea , wether is good or bad . And also we have prepared the first sample / prototype of our product .
Application
For our learning launch , we focused on implementing online marketing . we want to see if we can put together a project , and the process to be more effective . This will tests our assumption that the execution process is the main cause of our workflow challenges . We will continue to evaluate how we structure our work so we can get a more effective work system later . And later we will meet the question who or what our priorities . I believe this question can be another cause of our workflow challenge
Insight
By applying the learning launch , we decided to designed the launches to test our assumptions . We expecting to find that a more effective approach would improve our workflow . And we fairly open to what the actual results going to be , It will determine what is our new prioritization of process .
Approach
As I and my friend has already gone through several design thinking activities , and now this is the things before the final rollout that is so important to me , It is learning launch . Me and my friend needs to review the insight gained from our first launches and learn this insight into future launch designs . The future launch design should reflect what we learnt from the insight , and progress made then we will ready for final rollout .

Challenge : I am working on a project regarding redesign of an existing hybrid electric vehicle
model . The main challenge for this kind of problem is to identify the pain points , which is faced
by the current existing vehicle model . In addition , new improvements in the performance
should be achieved to make the new design better than the previous design . The experience of
the customers was available for the old version of vehicle and this was the only available
information that can be used for the design improvement . The customer experience data was
related to the driving experience , specification and price of the vehicle .
Selection : As the customer experience is available , so , the main task is here to find the pattern
within the experience data . Based on the problem type , ‘ visualization ’ and ‘ storytelling ’ are
not useful for such kind of problem . On the other hand , ‘ Mind mapping ’ and ‘ Learning Launch ’
may useful tool for this . As the design , solution was needed so the common design problems
can be easily identified through ‘ Mind mapping ’ .
Application : After applying the Mind map , the problems are identified . The problems were
identified as first the engine size is unnecessarily big , the vehicle electric range is too low and
difficulty in driving at higher road gradient . The mind map shows that the customers are willing
to pay higher price but want a more ecofriendly vehicle .
Insight : The analysis shows that the vehicle new design should have a more powerful motor
for driving at higher road gradient and with minimum increase in vehicle cost ; the customers
want increased electric range .
Approach : Based on the analysis insights , the design contains are formed like the cost may
increase upto 5 % , the engine size should be less than the motor size , the motor size should be
greater than the initial design . The objectives are identified as maximization of vehicle fuel
economy , electric range and power supply at higher road gradient . Based on these the possible
designs are identified .
Organization : The Mind map based insights are used for the problem identification in
current design and then for the possible solutions the insights are used to optimize the current
vehicle model for better performance and better driving experience . Therefore , in this way
the useful findings are organized one by one for proper systematic approach in design
improvement .

For getting insight into consumers , create empathy , emotionally impact themand designers use storytelling . Designers build people for representing target members and adding conflicts to stories that illustrate their lifestyle journey and issues with their users . Designers can be better understand what the consumers want a solution by crafting tales .
How Story Telling Works in design
Audiences are still captivated by good stories . You use storytelling in the design process of user experience ( UX ) design to ensure all works reflects on the needs of the users and the importance you have . Those users want to send . You use your knowledge to tell a tale about what the people need and who are they , and how you can deliver it after conducting design research to understand the needs and expectations of your users . For those involved in the project , this narrative makes it easier to empathize with the users and ensure that their work suits the story . Having story in your project means that it is also easy to sell the design at end of process , since you know exactly howWhat story to tell to illustrate how value is generated by your product .

What will be the future of earth look like ? The ecosystem has been negatively dominated by synthetic plastics and the resulting plastic pollution . Plastic does provide some benefits to society and it allowed us to advance modern technology , safety , and health . But these developments come at a cost ; Plastic pollution . The challenge is to reduce this pollution by limiting the use of plastic . I aim to decrease the use of plastic bags by producing cloth bags . This will make our environment sustainable hence we can give a better place to our future generations to live in . This is a huge challenge for people to shift from plastic bags to fabric bags . Plastic bags are in use for a very long time . It will be difficult for society to spend a little more on cloth bags and make this their habit of not using synthetic bags .
Selection and Application
Out of the modules taught , I would prefer to select and apply the Storytelling tool to aware people of this issue . My target audience will be the youth who are already aware of the situation of our planet . I simply have to convince them to use better products to save our environment . I will craft stories to aware people of different age groups . Therefore distinct stories will be required so that we can reach out to every individual . This challenge can only be fathomed when these stories will reach emotionally to everyone out there . The storytelling tool will help me to accomplish this challenge . There are so many ways to enlighten people about the issue and encourage them to take steps towards a better future . Social Media can play the finest role to reach out to consumers . Compelling stories can help the users understand better the uses of the products . They will also be able to relate and might take action towards it . Good stories always help to captivate the audience . Apart from stories , I would apply the process of sampling . Providing the products to consumer ’s hands will help them better understand my idea . This will automatically convey the story about my concept .
Insight
Design thinking has full innovation potential . It unleashes people ’s full creative energies , wins their commitment , and improves the processes . Learning about the different tools in this course helped me understand how design thinking is used at every level and in all organizations . I practiced storytelling to overcome my challenge . And it was no doubt the finest choice to reach out to my audience emotionally . I aim to provide superior solutions to the consumers in return for their sacrifice of using the most feasible product ( plastic bags ) . I have observed that design thinking creates a natural flow from research to rollout . Storytelling is an apt way to build empathy in people . Design thinking is the best tool for sense - making , meaning - making , simplifying processes , and improving customer experiences . It also minimizes cost , reduces risk , and improves the speed of the required action .
Approach
Storytelling was the apt tool but if a pinch of other tools was also used then the outcome might have come more effectively . Mind mapping is also as important as storytelling . If I would have displayed
facts and figures and presented the data then it might have convinced my audience differently . It would help them to understand the situation in a better way . Mind mapping is used to break down complex problems and helps to come up with simples and easy ideas .

Challenge : I live in one of the most polluted cities and the scarcity of both pure air and organic chemical free food are at its peak . The rooftop Garden ( or any other available place for that reason ) can be one the possible solution of having access to hazardous chemical free option of eatables . The objective is to implement this idea as per the availability of space with safety and proper water supply to get fresh food and make a little contribution in the temperature regulation in my house and neighbourhood .
Selection :
The tool I chose for this challenge is visualization , this tool is the way to transform information or ideas about something into images , because in this way these ideas become concrete and tangible . Visualization is chosen because my mom has an idea in mind that , to understand it more clearly , it is best to do a visualization exercise with which , through drawings , it is possible to detail how the spaces would be structured , what kind of plants would be planted there , and what kind of elements will be used for the construction of these gardens and orchards .
Application :
The exercise began by going through all the places in the house and nearby where the spaces that wanted to be used for the gardens were located , after this , the visualization exercise was done in each of the places , drawing one by one the spaces and how they would be distributed based on the idea that my dad had . Then , in each drawing we began to describe what type of plants would go in each space such as flowers , vegetables , aromatic , herbs among others . Also , a description was written of what materials would be used for the construction and adaptation of these spaces such as wood , plastic bottles , flowerpots , drawers , soil for planting , fertilizers , among others .
Insight :
When performing the visualization , it was possible to identify that there were many more spaces than originally thought , which were taken into account when carrying out the visualization exercise . Also , during the exercise , it was detected that there were some objects that were without any use and that would be used for the construction of these spaces . When we had all the drawings and details of the plants that would go there and the materials that would be used , having the idea tangible and visible , we were much more excited to continue with the challenge and start thinking of more ideas than what could be done . The use of this tool seems very useful in any of the design thinking phases since it allows clarifying ideas that may be ambiguous , and having images or drawings of these ideas helps people 's thinking to be activated and out of understanding the idea in a better way , makes people feel more committed and identified with a project by seeing it tangible .
Approach :
As I said before , I think that the visualization tool is very useful in any phase of design thinking , so I would always continue to use it in future professional or personal projects that are presented to me , since it helps to be clear about ideas that may be ambiguous . Something that I would do differently would be to somehow connect the ideas that are captured in one place , because when doing it on sheets of paper , they can be lost or messed up , which makes the creation process a little slower . A tool that would have been very useful for this challenge is storytelling , since having a story which somehow connects the spaces to be created and the impact that these would have when they were made , it would help many more people to join . to face the challenge , and were more connected and proactive in developing it . I feel that these two tools , visualization and storytelling , are very complementary to each other since one provides the clarity of ideas and the other has the ability to connect these ideas under a story or narrative , which allows it to give it a broader sense to the ideas that are being developed .

Challenge
I am a senior manager of a Global Service Delivery solution team for a fortune 500 MNC and we had an existing product for orchestrating our services via different Centre of Excellence ( CoE ) across the globe . But this product was neither in parity with the era of digital transformation nor was it fulfilling our need to expand services with new engagements and clients . Leading to infuriation bubbling under the surface , different CoE started using their own mechanism and created silos . This existing product was to be used by analysts of all CoE along with stakeholders of different line of services and the service delivery centers . The estimated hours of work was expected to be 400k annually , but it began shrinking around 15 % annually , due to rejection of the tool from all levels . The stakeholders were concerned since it was affecting them from both finance and governance perspective .
Selection
Since the existing product was based on analytical data set only , I formed a core team that would be influenced by design thinking and their task was to identify all possible solutions . This team started empathizing with users from all levels using journey mapping to understand current situation effectively and later used mind mapping to set the design criteria . We then reached out to Gartner to identify if there is already any off the shelf product in marketplace which could address this design criteria . As Gartner said no such product exists , our team stated using a visualization tool to ideate solutions . Out of 5 prototypes we chose to topmost one for learning launch to co - create with our users and stakeholders .
Application
We leveraged rapid application development methodology , an iterative process , which uses low code development platform , for learning launches we had . We read several articles regarding learning launch tool for better perspective . Some such articles being -
https://www.designthinkingformobility.org/wp- content / uploads/2013/10 / Learning_Launch_principles.pdf
https://ideas.darden.virginia.edu/the-learning-launch-how-to-grow-your-business-with-the- scientific - method
In our first learning launch we picked up few features from our design specifications like minimum IT involvements , engagement workflow , analytical dashboard and implemented them . We invested an effort of roughly 4 weeks to give it a real feel and create something that matches our expectations . We then released it to some CoE users along with stakeholders for 2 weeks . We started our feedback mechanism by capturing their thoughts and experience on this . The initial feedback was mixed one , some of them were encouraging but 20 % of users stated it does not fit their need as of now . We went back and incorporated them in first product launch and then added all functionalities as per the design criteria like mobility support , resource booking workflow , governance process and time tracking mechanism . It took around another 4 weeks of hard work and we launched our next version involving more CoE users and stakeholders from all line of services . We set 3 weeks of feedback this time and within a week , we started getting positive responses from all corners . The Core success is that they are now able to plan and utilize their hours effectively as our product has shown maturity in achieving service model distribution mechanism . But that ’s not the end . We started our feedback cycle again for another incremental release .
And now after 4 launches , we are at a pretty good shape with respect to our business model and to go for a final roll out .
Insight
Learning launch helped us a lot in the entire process of product development . We were able to transform our key assumptions to reality in an incremental process along with real time feedback from our customers . We prioritize our key requirements and slowly infuse them such that the users are able to map their expectations and identify their needs . This tool helped our product to be stronger in a cognitive way . We encouraged our users for open feedback and addressed them . This has helped us to co - create the product along with our stakeholders and users with minimum cost and time frame . We added different functionalities and made this more scalable product by leveraging this tool . This experiment did not cost much to business and it was tested using market data to realize our ultimate goal for an external market facing product .
Approach
We will apply the same tool again with same methodology we used in this use case . This tool helped us to quickly gain insights from end users or customers and incorporate them in the next launch . It can also help to examine that your idea or design criteria has performed well in the market or met the expectations of the user . This helps to perform experiment quickly and cost effectively so that we have buy in from finance . Principles of this tool aids team in shaping up a sharp product efficiently . It mitigates the risk of team ’s confirmation biasness with respect to design and provides a good learning curve for team and individuals .

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 .

Due to the COVID 19 pandemic we are not able to operate in full capacity due to the government restrictions and also big budget movies are not being released due the pandemic . Each of our multiplexes has 150 seats . But government has given permission to allow only 50%(75 seats ) . If we operate with just these numbers , the profits generated will only meet our expenses which leads to the break even .
Selection : to find solution to this we have decided to use storytelling as a tool . As human beings we tend to respond to stories well that is why storytelling is an important tool . We feel that it is better tool to convince regulatory authorities or the government to increase the seats from 75 to 100 at least , we as a company believe that we can maintain all the guidelines imposed by the government even though the seats are increased .
Application : so by using storytelling tool we were able to convince the authorities to increase the seats limit from 75 to 100 . A story was narrated to the authority , “ Due to COVID 19 government imposed lockdown due to which our business affected very badly . we have 800 employees all together who suffered due to the pay cut and our company also have huge amount of debt , which affected our liquidity position as our revenues were nill . Now inorder to operate profitably we kindly request you to increase the seats limit and we promise that all the guidelines will be maintained effectively ” .
Insight : Storytelling tool helps in business development , to achieve competitive advantage . It also maintains attention and increases understanding and there by ensures that right decision is taken by the organization . In our case storytelling tool has helped us convince the government to increase the seat limit from 75 to 200 .
Approach : The alternative thing which can be done to overcome this challenge by , incase government does n’t give the permission to increase the limit of visitors . As we are currently operating under breakeven , an increase in income and decrease in our expenses will enable us to generate profits even with the limited number of visitors . Income can be increased by rising the ticket fee by some marginal amount ( between 5 % to 10 % ) which may not bother much of our visitors . The reduction in expenses can be done by identifying and eliminating the non value adding activities which may in the form of manpower , material and other resources .

Each of our multiplexes has 150 seats . But government has given permission to allow only 50%(75 seats ) . If we operate with just these numbers , the profits generated will only meet our expenses which leads to the break even .
Selection : to find solution to this we have decided to use storytelling as a tool . As human beings we tend to respond to stories well that is why storytelling is an important tool . We feel that it is better tool to convince regulatory authorities or the government to increase the seats from 75 to 100 at least , we as a company believe that we can maintain all the guidelines imposed by the government even though the seats are increased .
Application : so by using storytelling tool we were able to convince the authorities to increase the seats limit from 75 to 100 . A story was narrated to the authority , “ Due to COVID 19 government imposed lockdown due to which our business affected very badly . we have 800 employees all together who suffered due to the pay cut and our company also have huge amount of debt , which affected our liquidity position as our revenues were nill . Now inorder to operate profitably we kindly request you to increase the seats limit and we promise that all the guidelines will be maintained effectively ” .
Insight : Storytelling tool helps in business development , to achieve competitive advantage . It also maintains attention and increases understanding and there by ensures that right decision is taken by the organization . In our case storytelling tool has helped us convince the government to increase the seat limit from 75 to 200 .
Approach : The alternative thing which can be done to overcome this challenge by , incase government does n’t give the permission to increase the limit of visitors . As we are currently operating under breakeven , an increase in income and decrease in our expenses will enable us to generate profits even with the limited number of visitors . Income can be increased by rising the ticket fee by some marginal amount ( between 5 % to 10 % ) which may not bother much of our visitors . The reduction in expenses can be done by identifying and eliminating the non value adding activities which may in the form of manpower , material and other resources .

This challenge also involves recruiting the appropriate instructors , curating , and creating the right content and using appropriate E - learning modalities to deliver the sessions .
I will be using a variety of tools to design this course :
1 . Visualization : By drawing out a road map and drawing sketches of the user interface , the
instructors and I can share how we want the E - course to flow and how we want the content to be presented to the user . Insight : This can allow us to get an idea of what everyone in the group is thinking about and build on those ideas . This also allows us to see any discrepancies or errors in our thinking and correct them before we move to the final stages of our plan .
2 . Storytelling : We aim to use story telling as a tool to engage our audience and involve them in a
narrative so that they do not lose interest . The roadmap designed earlier can be made into a fun story , and we can even include case studies in our course to take the user through a single case from start to finish to understand why the material taught is important .
3 . Learning launch : Finally , we test our idea . We start small and introduce a few sessions and gain
feedback both from the software and the users . Based on the feedback , we tailor our newer courses to better accommodate to the needs of the students . Insight : This allows for a continuous loop of feedback from our users and prevent us from straying too far on the wrong track at an early stage of the development . What might be done differently next time ? Currently , university professors are not incentivized to produce online content of high quality and that can be used for many years . Also , a lot of medical professors are also doctors and lack the time to create such content . Thus , in addition to good educators we also need good designers and software designers to help deliver quality content . We might even implement the tool of mind mapping to analyze our problems and solutions and innovate in those areas . We also need to provide more incentives to the content creators to motivate them to continue their work .

Challenge & Selection
I have had many discussions with my brother about potentially entering the E - commerce field , and we always reach a conclusion that the field is complex and in order for one to succeed , they need to be able to communicate their ideas and understand the new field . To do that , visualization seemed like a perfect tool to try and understand the needs , expectations , and challenges . Before entering such a field , one needs to understand the customers , mainly their needs and wants , and then find opportunities in the market .
As a tool , visualization not only allows for a more creative approach , but it allows people with different backgrounds about the field to easily digest the concepts on hand . It is a quick , productive , and fun approach that results in a productive discussion . By drawing a single picture , one can communicate a concept that would be explained in many words otherwise .
Application
Starting right away , I drew shapes representing the different parts in the e - commerce system , from suppliers to regulators to sellers to customers . Then , I went through each part to further investigate its part in the system and understand their value . From there , it became easier to flow through concepts and questions in mind . With the ideas appearing quickly , I started to use simple figures for whole concepts and then came back to expand . Concepts such as shipping and supply chain were represented by large containers and so forth . Finally , I looked at the work to find patterns and important observations .
Insight & Approach
Visualization did not disappoint . It provided a chance for creativity and productivity while still being efficient and enjoyable approach , which is certainly an attractive advantage when it comes to using such a tool . Although visualization is a well known tool today , one can still be surprised of how much difference it makes in almost any field it ’s used in .
Although visualization is fantastic for communicating ideas to other , there is still a chance to make sure that the tool is used to its full potential . Through my experience , it was clear that the more one knows about the topic on hand , the better the experience would be . With some foundation , one can use visualization to its full efficiency and potential .

1 . CHALLENGE
In my case , I can clearly imagine something , think of a solution in my mind , think of different ways to achieve a goal , to solve a problem or improve a product , I can even imagine a new world , but when the time comes to transform my thoughts so that they are understandable to different people , the fact that everything I imagine must stop being abstract and become something concrete becomes hard work for me ; because I must initiate a process in which my purpose is to visualize the whole scenario , I must begin to discern and codify the information , begin to separate relevant information from that which is not , this means a challenge for me , since in my opinion every single detail is important , I am a perfectionist person , therefore , I focus too much on the small details , although I recognize that what for me can be decisive is not really very practical .
My personal challenge is more than discerning , it is to express the information in a coherent and understandable way for all types of public , my challenge is to express my idea in a clear way so as not to give room for ambiguities . It is to take into account 100 % the user , to foresee that what I project in a visual way meets their expectations , fulfills their needs , and becomes really useful when looking for a practical and useful solution to the problem posed .
2 . SELECTION
Visualization in my opinion is one of the most useful and important tools we have in design , and in general in the world , the power to visualize is a skill that we should learn to develop from an early age , in schools should treat visualization as one of the most important skills to enhance from the youngest ages . Visualization being such a useful tool is often not used , people are often unaware of the great power that visualization has to share ideas , views and opinions , unaware that it is a great tool to find solutions to problems of different kinds , serves to solve a problem from elementary school to solve a problem in a large company .
In my opinion when visualizing , imagining and creating thousands of ideas in a few minutes is one of the most beautiful skills of the human being , imagining unlocks a new part of the brain , allows us to think beyond what we believe possible , expands our world , leaves us without limits , which causes for the same reason that the result of imagining gives us endless possibilities ; for example in the case of wanting to find a solution using imagination offers us new and different possibilities that we probably had not contemplated , which then through visualization we will be able to express accurately to others .
For me visualization is one of the ways , if not the most successful way to share thoughts , it is also a form of language , the visual language by which , in my opinion , we communicate in a faster , more efficient and adequate way , this is why brands use logos to identify themselves and draw the attention of their customers and potential customers as well , usually using bright colors or logos very easy to differentiate . On the other hand , visualization is also one of the best ways to learn , this thanks to the fact that through visualization we can synthesize knowledge , this is because in the imagination is where we create our thoughts , we organize an image that in a certain way captures what we have learned , which we then store it .
3 . APPLICATION
At the moment in which a person with a problem ( I ) decides to visualize it , he decides with his imagination to project a mental reality for his problem and with it to try to understand a little better what happens , he begins to see in the aspects that a solution can be found , with this he has a much broader perspective and can achieve a more concrete and accurate approach on the events and data that can be relevant to reach the solution of his problem , in his imagination thanks to the visualization begin to create various and abundant possibilities that can serve as a solution , the advantage of the same person ( I ) to analyze his own problem is that it has details that would be difficult to believe that they are important but become crucial , because it has all its life information , which in the long run somehow will help ; after obtaining all the possibilities begins the process of discernment to be able to know which are viable and functional and which ultimately would not work , after this you must start your own sketch or prototype of how the problem would be solved with the previously selected possibilities and finally you must create that solution and apply it .
The previous process is the one that I have applied during my life without knowing that it was visualization and that from now on I will do consciously , it is also the process that could be used by any person or company , the company with the difference that each person must make the visualization with a real and understandable sketch to share it .
4 . INSIGHT & APPROACH
Visualization , being so useful , becomes an infallible tool when solving a problem , when we want to communicate an idea and then capture it to understand it , in a problem visualizing
helps us from visualizing the same problem to understand it better , as it helps us to understand the different perspectives , in addition to the possible solutions that can be thought , visualizing although often is not the easiest , makes our life easier in many processes and is totally good to grasp , understand and synthesize relevant information , it can even help us to see data beyond that can be useful .
Visualization , having a direct relationship with the imagination , allows us to express ourselves and think without limits , it allows us to explore and look for possibilities everywhere and in every way . Therefore , with the passage of time and mastering this will allow us to reach an innovative idea in a simpler way , since it collapses our limiting barriers opening the doors to what we do not know , which can be reflected , as I said above in an innovative idea .

Challenge & Selection
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 . Can design thinking and storytelling contribute to the research on first generation / low - income students ? I believe so and want to share some thoughts that combine these two approaches .
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 leads 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 .
Application
I 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 support 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 .
Insight & Approach
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 behavior among first generation / low- income students : an increase in confidence , self - efficacy , openness , perceptual acuity , resilience , general effectiveness in cross - cultural situations .
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 ? There has been some powerful research on the positive impact of study abroad for first gens during the past decade . The research showed “ positive impacts ” of study abroad . Study abroad becomes increasingly important as more and more borders are crossed physically and digitally . It is time to continue to produce solid research that underlines the positive impact of study abroad for today ’s first generation / low income students .

Storytelling is a very useful tool when doing future studies and Foresight . I am a consultant and researcher in strategic thinking and foresight , and in each exercise the main challenge is to empower actors in a long - term vision and collective thinking about the future , be it a territory , an organization or a productive sector . The main mission of foresight is to define a long - term future scenario , taking into account some elements of the past , an analysis of trends and signs of the future , as well as technological disruptors that can generate specific changes in the development of a specific phenomenon , But the people involved have trouble having short - term thoughts , with anxiety to solve current problems or “ put out fires ” .
Most of our leaders and decision makers think more about short - term planning than future projection , therefore , the result of a foresight study should allow us to see the future in such a way that it feels real , tangible and challenging , so that those involved are encouraged to work on its construction , thus , the use of narration allows the prospective to create a logical , coherent message that generates enough emotional and optimistic connection to influence strategies and actions in the construction of that future .
Application
In 2018 , a company dedicated to meliponiculture , that is , breeding and management of stingless bees for the extraction of honey and other products , we requested to carry out a prospective study for the sector of native bees or stingless bees in Colombia . Although it was a small and private company , we wanted to promote a shared vision for all the producers in the country , that would include the academy , government institutions and other producers , therefore , it was necessary to sell the idea to all involved .
The participation of agricultural producers , the academy was achieved through researchers from the country 's leading universities , the state through the technical secretariat of the Ministry of Agriculture and other professionals who were interested in the development of meliponiculture , But there was a greater challenge than bringing them together , it was to generate a broader and more complete vision of the breeding and management of stingless bees , in which all those actors were interested in working .
Insight and approach
The best way was to build a history based on the importance of meliponiculture , its ancestral origins and the great advantages it has in terms of ecosystem care , pollination , food security and , of course , on the economic issue , in addition , this type of bees are part of our ecosystem .
We built history , which is also real , telling that since long before the arrival of honey bees from Africa and Europe to the American territory , our continent had its own bees that were in charge of doing the work of pollinating forests and the crops , which fed the native population and produced
honeys that , in addition to being a natural and delicious sweetener , had medicinal properties of great importance to ancestral communities .
And later , we draw them a future where bee populations increase with technology , honey production is optimized and becomes an input for the pharmaceutical industry , the value chain is strengthened with the participation of all and is consolidated meliponiculture as an economically profitable , environmentally sustainable and socially viable sector .
The storytelling tool helped to internalize the idea of a future that has not yet arrived , but can be built . Therefore , it is a tool that I will continue to use , with the particularities that each study phenomenon requires because it is not always the same , but with the same purpose : to generate enough connection to make future dreams come true .

Challenge
Visualization is a design tool that I use whenever I have the chance to use it in a suitable setting . As I had graduated this year , I had the chance to use this tool while writing my final year report , as well as through all the research process while collecting research data . One of the main challenges that I had encountered through my research was how to disclose such a huge amount of information that I had collected . To deal with this challenge , I had to find a solution in order to reduce the number of words in my report , as well as I had to find an appropriate and interesting way of how I will present my research results . Visualization helped me to present my research insights in a well manner way for a diverse group of stakeholders , which encompassed municipal authorities , designers , architects , gardeners and park volunteers . In addition to that , it has also contributed towards the achievement of a common understanding of my research itself , its main problem and results . Furthermore , it had also helped me to identify and present the research problem and eventually define and present my research results . On the occasion of my final research results presentation , where a group of diverse people with different backgrounds and roles in the parks participated , I had presented my research trough various means of imagery : schemes , maps , diagrams , tables , photographs . It made the presentation much shorter , more interesting and more engaging , inviting the audience to discuss and talk about the research and its results .
Selection
As visualization is one of the most essential design tools and , in my opinion , one of the most applicable and universal design tools used in many different settings ( especially , in researching and report writing ) , the importance of visualization in my research was enormous and there were a couple reasons why it became such an important and integral part of my research . Firstly , at the time of working on my research I was acquainted with not that many design tools . As I can remember , I only knew visualization , mind - mapping , brainstorming and etnography , though I had never heard about learning launch , journey mapping and other design tools . As some of the known tools were only covered briefly in the beginning of my research , such as brainstorming and mind - mapping , which were used while trying to bring all the ideas and thoughts about the research topic on a sheet of paper , visualization was part of the research through all the process . Secondly , another stimulus to use visualization was its capability to make information tangible and concrete , so in my research case , it had to be used in order to disclose a huge amount of information that I had collected in a limited time manner and for a specific audience . Furthermore , since visualization is about using imagery to make an abstract idea more public and concrete , so that idea would be more visible , clear and understandable to others , for the setting of public presentation it was a great tool to be used . With all that being said , visualization just had to be chosen and incorporate into my research .
Application
The beginning of visualization could be considered my conceptual model table scheme ( Fig . 1 ) . This scheme was only finalized at the end of the research , as some of the variables had to change . However , in the beginning , even before having this scheme or its beginnings , I came up with three main questions which become the basis of its structure : what ? how ? and what for ? Firstly , the upper part of the scheme from the question what ? became Involvement and mobilization of park communities . Just below after the statement it splits into several parts , which define the definition of a park community used in the research : gardeners ( maintainers ) , community - based groups , park visitors ( users ) . Following that , the second part of the scheme is in the middle and it answers question how ? It answers the question of how the involvement and mobilization
of park communities is going to be achieved - through citizen participation , which has five main variables : sense of community , norms of activism , opportunities for involvement , collective efficacy and community problems . Finally , the final part of the scheme is at the bottom . This part answers the question what for ? what is it for ? what is the purpose ? And the answer is More democratic , inclusive and sustainable public space ( park ) planning , management and maintenance , which was the ultimate goal in this research .
Aside on making other kind of visuals , this was one of the main visualizations that was used while researching , discussing with colleagues about the research , its structure , aspirations , as well as while presenting the final research results . Although the scheme looks very simple and succinct , in order to express the main research goals and research approach it was more than enough . Finally , I could state that the application of visualization was successful , as all the aspirations that I had in the beginning , all the variables that the scheme had encompassed were accomplished and the results of the research nicely aligned with the scheme . The scheme also lightened the research process , as I had saved lots of precious time while explaining the main idea of my research and also made the research process much easier and faster for myself . Worth mentioning that using schemes , diagrams and maps while presenting the final results also made the discussion more interesting , more engaging and easier to understand . In addition to that , maybe it also made a better expression of me and made my presentation more memorable ?
Insight & Approach
By applying the visualization tool , I managed to figure out the way of how my report should be structured , so it quite a lot contributed to my research design . Additionally , it had me to think through anticipated results , assumptions and research aspirations , so it has also contributed to the consistency of research . Furthermore , the use of visualization thought me that visualization could elaborate the reinforcement of understanding between people that are more and less active part of the research . The imagery gave a stimulus for discussions , where different perspectives where shared and new insights were developed . The research results were very similar and they did not differ a lot from the structured scheme .
Given the fact that the research was a comparative analysis about two physical objects ( parks ) , as well as this research author 's experience with visualization more than other design tools , the choice of visualization in the research process could be seen as appropriate and reasonable . In the future , I hope that I will have the chance to work more on the improvement of visualization , as well as to incorporate this tool in future projects . The only thing I could think of what could change - is the way of how visualization could be used in the stage of surveying , to make the surveying process itself more interesting and engaging for the interviewees .
This course made me see many design tools ( including visualization ) in a different way . It made me to learn some new design tools that I have never heard before . Before this course , I would have used some design tools without even knowing that I am using a design tool . Now , however , it changed and from this day before choosing a design tool I will be able to think about it more thoroughly and more reasonably .

Challenge
The challenge I want to take is a kind of brainstorm about a new service product ( boiler guarantee ) we want to launch in our organization and I want to make sure that I ’ve taken in consideration all the possible impacts ( on a high level ) . So when we sit together with all the stakeholders , I can immediately see if I ’ve taken into account the possible impacted departments / processes / systems .
Selection
I used and I normally use the mindmap for my initiatives , because it allows me to
• In the phase of creation : Note in a easy way every impact I think of at that moment and afterwords , I can easily add or adjust • In the phase of reflection with my stakeholders : I have a helicopter overview and can easily notice if impacts are taken into consideration of my mindmap and add possible forgotten or new impacts or add more details to high level impacts . • I can reuse the mindmap in my reflection for new initiatives regarding to a new service product !

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SONOxZkG5xk
Application
I ’ve a direct access via work to a tool ‘ freemind ’
Around the topic of the mindmap , in this case it was a new service product ‘ boiler guarantee ’ , I created the map with marking the chronological way of processing ( by means of numbers ) . It helps me afterwords to start the process mapping .
Insight
By creating this mindmap , I ’ve obtained an overview of processes impacted , my list of stakeholders and also steps I need to roll out further … the mindmap is not a fixed map , but a living evolution of my progress when talking to the stakeholders , when analyzing further the next steps and this is a preparation for my detailed process mapping in swimming lanes afterwords . I can easily add input from my stakeholders and create a more detailed mindmap .
Approach
I use mindmapping in every initiative . It allows me to brainstorm about ideas , to visualize impacted teams , processes and stakeholders in a detailed overview . One can always use the creative remarks or colors to visualize importance or chronology . I think we can always be more creative in those visualizations .

Challenge :
I am part of a global Finance team and my challenge relates to a large system implementation project . My organisation is implementing a new system that will transform the end to end source to pay process , impacting a significant number of different users across the world . The scope of the project is very broad impacting 8 countries and the operations process of a number of different departments , such as Commercial , IT and Finance . My activities on this project include learning about new system functionality , assessing its applicability for my Company , defining global policy changes in accordance with the agreed deadlines . As a project team we need to make sure that we deliver a tool with associated processes that bring improvement to the user experience of procure to pay and delivers benefits in terms of additional functionality , ease of use and efficiency . I am working in the finance stream with a small number of people that need to design and deliver the finance potions of this Project in the next 6 months . The challenge is how to deliver the design on a number of processes that will meet user expectations in a short time frame with tight resources .
Selection :
Design thinking is being used as part of the wider project but in terms of how we approach the Finance workstream I have chosen the Learning Launch tool . This is a tool that facilitates experimentation , allowing ideas and prototypes to be tested quickly on a small scale . This provides learnings that allows improvement to be made to the idea and hypothesis . I selected this for my challenge is it provides an opportunity to experiment , test , improve and move forward to a more improved and user centric prototype or model . Application :
We applied the Learning Launch tool during the testing phase of the project
At the start of the project there were a lot of ideas and potential functionality that we could use and a set of assumptions / hypotheses about what we thought users wanted and would find useful in the day to day work . We needed to find a way to match the functionality to the hypotheses of user needs and want . There was not an easy way to decide what would best suit our business and the users and how to set up the functionality and process appropriately . We therefore decided to take an experimentation and prototyping approach to the testing by setting up 3 prototype phases . We decided on this approach so that we could initially break the tasks and work into smaller chunks and make some quick decisions in terms of initial processes to use , test the hypotheses and design . We were then able to configure these based on our understanding and hypotheses of user needs , test them and learn , pivot and tweak the configuration and process to get us closer to a best practice and user centric process . As we progressed through the prototyping we added more processes and also more users into the testing so that we could test their expectations and gain their learnings , allowing us to incorporate wider perspectives into the design of the process . Each prototype was like a mini go live as new users became involved in the tool design .
This process worked well although the only challenge remained how we could keep track of the learnings and make sure we could adjust the process and configuration in time for the next prototyping session .
Insight :
By applying the tool I feel we were able to better design functionality for end user purposes . By testing the hypotheses and expectations we had about user needs we have ended up with a more robust system design that will actually meet their needs rather than meeting the needs as we though they might be . After the prototyping we removed processes that were not important to users and redesigned others that did not meet their expectations following feedback . For other processes it was positive confirmation that we were on the right path and our hypotheses were correct . By walking in the shoes of the user and involving them to test our design we feel confident that we will go live with a user centric tool that will meet their needs with no surprises . Without doing this and having the design thinking mindset I think we may have designed processes based on an incorrect set of assumptions and gone live without testing it on the user base first . This would have led to a tool that did not have users at the forefront , did not meet their needs and would have surprised us on go live with negative feedback and rework after the fact .
One of the harder things to keep at the forefront of my mind was that we never failed during the prototype phases , we were merely learning , pivoting and improving . Just because a hypotheses was proved wrong did n’t mean we had failed , it provided an opportunity for us to actually meet expectations where we might not have otherwise done so .
Approach :
Next time I use this approach I would try to get the learnings quicker and “ fail ” faster . We had 3 prototype phases and were perhaps too reluctant or just learning and feeling out the process during prototype 1 . If we had tested more processes and had more users involved earlier I think we could have spaced out the workload and gained insights quicker allowing ourselves more time for redesign . If we had packed more into Prototype 1 and 2 we would have had the learnings and not had to rely so heavily on prototype 3 when the deadlines were tighter .
I would also take the learning of this approach forward to any future system projects to make sure we can gain the insights from users and test our thinking out before going ahead with a solution that we think is right .

### Input: Reflection – Learning Launch
Challenge :
I am part of a global Finance team and my challenge relates to a large system implementation project . My organisation is implementing a new system that will transform the end to end source to pay process , impacting a significant number of different users across the world . The scope of the project is very broad impacting 8 countries and the operations process of a number of different departments , such as Commercial , IT and Finance . My activities on this project include learning about new system functionality , assessing its applicability for my Company , defining global policy changes in accordance with the agreed deadlines . As a project team we need to make sure that we deliver a tool with associated processes that bring improvement to the user experience of procure to pay and delivers benefits in terms of additional functionality , ease of use and efficiency . I am working in the finance stream with a small number of people that need to design and deliver the finance potions of this Project in the next 6 months . The challenge is how to deliver the design on a number of processes that will meet user expectations in a short time frame with tight resources .
Selection :
Design thinking is being used as part of the wider project but in terms of how we approach the Finance workstream I have chosen the Learning Launch tool . This is a tool that facilitates experimentation , allowing ideas and prototypes to be tested quickly on a small scale . This provides learnings that allows improvement to be made to the idea and hypothesis . I selected this for my challenge is it provides an opportunity to experiment , test , improve and move forward to a more improved and user centric prototype or model . Application :
We applied the Learning Launch tool during the testing phase of the project
At the start of the project there were a lot of ideas and potential functionality that we could use and a set of assumptions / hypotheses about what we thought users wanted and would find useful in the day to day work . We needed to find a way to match the functionality to the hypotheses of user needs and want . There was not an easy way to decide what would best suit our business and the users and how to set up the functionality and process appropriately . We therefore decided to take an experimentation and prototyping approach to the testing by setting up 3 prototype phases . We decided on this approach so that we could initially break the tasks and work into smaller chunks and make some quick decisions in terms of initial processes to use , test the hypotheses and design . We were then able to configure these based on our understanding and hypotheses of user needs , test them and learn , pivot and tweak the configuration and process to get us closer to a best practice and user centric process . As we progressed through the prototyping we added more processes and also more users into the testing so that we could test their expectations and gain their learnings , allowing us to incorporate wider perspectives into the design of the process . Each prototype was like a mini go live as new users became involved in the tool design .
This process worked well although the only challenge remained how we could keep track of the learnings and make sure we could adjust the process and configuration in time for the next prototyping session .

Challenge
I was leading a project to build and implement “ Technology Competency Framework ” for my organization ’s large software programmers ’ pool of 0 to 4 years of experience in the company . We have identified 6 different Lines of Technologies ( LOTs ) which are prevailing for the business to categorize the target population within . I wanted each LOT to have definite curriculum and associated evaluation at 3 different levels ( L1 , L2 , L3 ) with increasing expertise and complexity to enable employees gain higher skills and competencies as they progress year - on - year . We also wanted to map this framework to employees ’ career progression within the organization , so it was far more important to have an accurate technology competency framework in place . Especially “ Evaluation ” mechanism at every L1 , L2 , L3 levels for all LOTs .
Employee evaluation framework was decided to be thru ’ online assessments in every LOT , based on the curriculum set for every level ( L1 , L2 , L3 ) . Online assessment was to be using variety of Multiple Choice Questions ( MCQs ) of low , medium , high complexities in each level ’s assessment . Sizable question bank was generated and uploaded in the assessment engine . Parameters like Questions ’ complexity , randomization , points for correct answers , passing percentage have been configured in the assessment engine .
Selection
Overall Evaluation model was conceptualized as stated above and validated to proceed with . Now the most crucial part of the evaluation framework was ahead of us to establish its authentic workability . For which “ Calibrating the Assessments ” was essential , i.e. to ensure that these assessments at each level would produce the results which are in line with employees ’ actual skill levels . For example , when employee is certified at Level 2 post the assessment , in reality , he / she is indeed at the skill / competency Level 2 and not at 1 or 3 . For this , I ’ve decided to apply “ Learning Launch ” of design thinking .
Application
Selected a group of participants from the target audience and after imparting the necessary training to them from their respective LOTs asked them to take the online assessments . Then their assessment results were compared against their professional academic scores when they joined the organization , the scores they have got in various relevant trainings they underwent after joining the organization and also against the ratings they used to get on their technical skills and expertise by their supervisors during half yearly and yearly appraisal process . Control graphs were plotted and cases falling outside of control limits were analyzed . Initially we found higher numbers out of control limits . Then we adjusted the parameters in the assessment engine and also modified the question bank repository .
This cycle was repeated 2 - 3 times with different set of employees to finetune the assessment mechanism and calibrate the assessments till the cases falling out of control limits were minimal and our solution became authentic and workable for the organization wide implementation .
Insight
“ Learning Launch ” tool turned out to be highly effective in this piece of our project . It was crucial and most challenging work piece of the overall project and if we would have directly implemented the framework across the organization , without having tested its accurate workability on smaller groups , 2 - 3 times , the entire initiative would have been a flop show . Learning Launch tool helped us to
- ensure solution workability in a shorter time , - making us take fast corrective actions to calibrate the assessments , - minimal but direct involvement of the end users of varied samples covering the larger spectrum of technologies and levels - and most of all , with very minimal efforts , it enhanced our ( project team ) , sponsor ’s and key stakeholders ’ confidence as to whatever solution / framework we are providing is the top notched realistic solution for the benefit of the entire organization and target population .
Approach
I think , every tool has its own pros & cons . Not every tool will help or provide same benefits in different challenges . According to me , “ Learning Launch ” is the better one to ensure the workability of the solution ,
- when there are multiple unknown factors involved in the new initiative , - when there is no previous data available to cross verify the practicality of the solution , - the volume of impacted population is high or very high - implementation cost is high or very high
If your challenge does n’t involve any of the aforesaid factors , then the risk of direct big - bang implementation is comparatively less and that risk you can mitigate by analyzing the past data and trends from the similar challenges and decide the course of action on your challenge .

Challenge
I am active in the areas of business management and organization . One of our tasks is to further develop processes . If possible , these processes should also become more efficient and user - friendly through automation . The current project concerns the optimization of the onboarding process of new customers . The current process is very manual and concerns different areas . Data is processed manually several times , which is time - consuming and error prone . The aim of the project was to automate the collection of data and its further processing . In doing so , the captured data was to be checked for plausibility as soon as it was entered and then transferred to the required forms . This data was then to be automatically transferred to an additional system for further processing . Now it had to be determined which business transactions were involved in the onboarding process , what they looked like in detail , which data were affected and how they were processed . In order to approach this project in a targeted manner , I decided on the Design Thinking approach .
Selection
In previous projects I have repeatedly collected the requirements and approaches to solutions in surveys . I then consolidated this information in an Excel spreadsheet . The information thus obtained was usually only high level , contradictory , incomplete and possible correlations were difficult to identify . With Mind Mapping , information and ideas can be taken up , developed , and presented in a creative and structured way . Information about the current situation ( what is ? ) can be recorded , structured , and visualized . This method can also be used for the collection of ideas ( what if ? ) for further development . This enables a new approach to problems and projects .
To illustrate the complexity , here is a highly simplified description of the process : The client advisor wants to open a new client relationship and needs the appropriate and correct forms to do so . At the same time , the client data should be entered only once if possible . Using the right forms is also the interest of the Legal & Compliance department . Operations department wants to receive the correct and complete forms for further processing and not have to retype the data manually . There are various business cases with complex interrelationships and dependencies . Each area has its own interests and needs in the process .
For the new project I had decided to use Mind Mapping to capture the current situation with as many business cases as possible . In a second step and based on this , the further requirements and ideas were also collected with Mind Mapping . Since Mind Mapping is a very visual method , it can be used well in brainstorming sessions . At the same time , the connections between the individual topic blocks , work steps and user needs become clear . I used a whiteboard to create a mind map . The core problem or the core theme was in the middle . This was then used as the basis for the various branches / nodes with the different business cases ( for example " Opening a company account " , " Opening an account for married couples " ) . Each business case ( for example " Opening of a company account " ) had its own branch / node . From this individual business case , further branches / nodes containing details such as " Power of Attorney " were then deducted . From this " Power of Attorney " branch / node further branches / nodes are derived from these branches / nodes . Thus , for each business case on a separate branch / node , the required data could be included in detail . The working group sat in front of the Mind Map . The content was worked out together .
Application
For the development of the Mind Map for the initial assessment of the current situation , I had assembled an interdisciplinary group of 12 people , consisting of the departments “ Customer Relations ” ( 3 participants ) , “ Legal & Compliance ” ( 3 participants ) , “ Operations ” ( 3 participants ) and “ IT ” ( 3 participants ) . It was important that all affected departments were represented and that the participants brought along the appropriate mindset . For the Mind Mapping session and the brainstorming , I had established basic rules for cooperation to enable all participants to communicate openly and thus to exchange ideas in a constructive and appreciative manner . I also emphasized this during the
moderation of the first session . This should also enable as much input as possible , each area to describe its current activities and each area to place its needs and problems . During this first brainstorming session , all possible case constellations for a new customer relationship were recorded . Subsequently , the data required or processed in each case was compiled and the currently required work steps were added . The visual presentation made it possible to go into ever greater detail . In the process , new branches were added to the Mind Map . In the end , colors and symbols / icons were used to group and structure the data .
This first Mind Map was then the basis for a second session . In this second session , ideas for the further development and optimization of the process were collected and refined ( what wows ? ) . The main focus was on user satisfaction . Here , too , the ideas were then grouped and structured using colors and symbols . This tool has proven to be verry effective for me and my colleagues .
Insight
On the basis of the Mind Map the participants realized how strong the dependencies are . This strengthened the mutual understanding . It also became clear how similar but also how different the requirements and needs of the areas are to some extent . I was impressed how much the team spirit and the sense of community was strengthened . The recording of the current situation was a good start . The second session to gather ideas for further development of the process showed an exciting dynamic within the group . Some colleagues participated very actively . Other colleagues became calmer and expressed their ideas only when asked . The colleagues from IT were also very quick to raise objections such as " does n't work " and so on , especially in the second session . This repeatedly brought the session and the development of ideas to a standstill . So , I divided the groups into three smaller groups and brainstormed separately . We then added the results together in the mind map . At this point I realized how important the moderation of the sessions is . Here I have identified a field of development for me and will deal with it more closely .
In the second session we went through various cases and tried out together whether the ideas and assumptions were also useful in practice . We always drew the processes on a sheet of paper and then tested whether it would work as expected . That way we could test the ideas and made adjustments . New ideas also came up in the process . At the end of the sessions it was clear that we would build a tool that would compile the necessary forms based on certain data and rules , which would then be completed with data via an input mask . These forms will then be printed out and presented to the customer . The data stored in the tool can technically be transferred to another system and processed there . I expect a high level of user satisfaction and thus acceptance of the new tool and the new process through the joint compilation of the current situation and the joint development of the future solution . In a next step , the possible implementation was then checked for technical feasibility . After all ideas had been collected , we were then able to discuss the technical feasibility mainly with IT . So it became clear what is feasible ( what works ? ) . We had agreed that they would take small steps in programming , which we would present and discuss with the working group again and again . In this way , IT was able to develop closely in line with user requirements and received continuous feedback .
In addition , the second session already gave us ideas on how to add more functions to the tool . So , in addition to the original topic of processing new customers , we have identified other topics that can also be optimized . There were already valuable starting points for this as well , but these need to be further refined . This will be done in separate new projects . The implementation of changes or the creation and maintenance of a new tool is associated with costs . This aspect of profitability must not be completely ignored .
Approach
I will continue to use Mind Mapping , as the tool has proven itself to me and my colleagues in both the what - is phase and the what - if phase . Some colleagues have used it in the meantime for their own topic work . It gives a good overview and allows for easy creation , which can be further refined . The information and suggestions received beyond the actual topic of " Onboarding New Customer " were also verry valuable and will help us as a company . Here I find certain parallels to the Good Kitchen Story . There , too , there were much more far - reaching findings that were implemented . For example , the new menus , the feedback forms .

At the end of the sessions it was clear that we would build a tool that would compile the necessary forms based on certain data and rules , which would then be completed with data via an input mask . These forms will then be printed out and presented to the customer . The data stored in the tool can technically be transferred to another system and processed there . I expect a high level of user satisfaction and thus acceptance of the new tool and the new process through the joint compilation of the current situation and the joint development of the future solution . In a next step , the possible implementation was then checked for technical feasibility . After all ideas had been collected , we were then able to discuss the technical feasibility mainly with IT . So it became clear what is feasible ( what works ? ) . We had agreed that they would take small steps in programming , which we would present and discuss with the working group again and again . In this way , IT was able to develop closely in line with user requirements and received continuous feedback .
In addition , the second session already gave us ideas on how to add more functions to the tool . So , in addition to the original topic of processing new customers , we have identified other topics that can also be optimized . There were already valuable starting points for this as well , but these need to be further refined . This will be done in separate new projects . The implementation of changes or the creation and maintenance of a new tool is associated with costs . This aspect of profitability must not be completely ignored .
Approach
I will continue to use Mind Mapping , as the tool has proven itself to me and my colleagues in both the what - is phase and the what - if phase . Some colleagues have used it in the meantime for their own topic work . It gives a good overview and allows for easy creation , which can be further refined . The information and suggestions received beyond the actual topic of " Onboarding New Customer " were also verry valuable and will help us as a company . Here I find certain parallels to the Good Kitchen Story . There , too , there were much more far - reaching findings that were implemented . For example , the new menus , the feedback forms .

Elements :
Challenge and Selection : I created mind mapping for ‘ Impacts of COVID-
19 in India ’ . Instead of using long sentences , only keywords are enough to
remember . The changes in the illustration were easily done . When working on
complex systems , it is very difficult to create mind mapping instead of taking
notes . It is very suitable for the works taking more time . A good mind map
takes time to write out . Before start creating mind map , all relevant
information to be gathered , otherwise restructuring will be done . For better
analysis and synthesis one can use this mind map . I found this as a good tool
to include all the needs to be done and easily grouping of information . The
tasks can be broken into smaller . The association between elements and
central element were easier to show .
Application : The tool that has no boundaries . It is used to apply only for the
specific problems . I found it useful to brainstorm new ideas . It works well
when organizing ideas . I understood that this tool can be used as a strategy
for potential applications . The summarization is easier and effective while it
is used . I saw the scattered thoughts came into an idea . One can go or finish
with one ’s own set of subtopics .
Insight : As per Gotthold Ephraim Lessing ’s words ‘ The greatest beauty
always lies in the greatest clarity ’ , is good tool to see the entire view of
information . It is little different what everyone works but not hard . I saved lot
of time and felt stress free . When the current information is crystal clear no
need to use mind map . I spent 75 % of time in mind mapping and the remining
time on others .
Approach : I conducted small exercises to various students through online .
Before get into mind mapping , I conformed the students in understanding of
the problem . We have used this for project planning and presentations before
the lock down period . It is the best alternative for the bulleted points .
I have created Covid-19 as example here to show the effectiveness of mind
maps .

Challenge and selection
I am part of my Baja SAE team ’s ergonomics division . My job is to design and make parts that contribute with the aerodynamics and ease of control of an off - road car . We are limited by a rulebook given out by the organization that details available materials , construction , and thickness of said materials , as well as the existing chassis of the car . The team consists of me , the division director , as well as 2 other designers that aid me with the designing , construction , and installation of the various pieces . The project is carried out within the scope of 2 months , of which 1 is focused on part design . Our goal was to improve our performances in relation to last year ’s car , which include improving aerodynamic efficiency .
Given all the reasons and limitations explained above , I selected to use the Learning Launch tool . Furthermore , another reason is the necessity for a vast selection of test components and materials , so the Learning Launch would aid us in carrying out these tests in a rapid and inexpensive manner .
Application
For our instance of the launch , the team selected the frontal panel of the car : This is the part that is furthest out forward in the car , therefore representing a crucial component of the aerodynamic efficiency . Initially , it was made up of a sheet of metal bent into a series of shapes to fit into the space available . Our initial assumption was that the various folds of the metal were harming the car ’s performance , so we opted to make it out of a single piece . To do this , we procured a larger , but thinner sheet of metal that could easily bend without folding it . Once we carried out our simulation , we discovered that it did in fact aid in our aerodynamic coefficient .
Insight
The usage of the Learning Launch tool allowed our team to identify certain hypotheses and designed a launch to test said hypothesis . Once we manufactured the designed piece , it granted us an advantage to be sure , but it did not yield the drastic change in performance that we were expecting . We believed that this was due to the relative short timespan we had available , which indicated to us that we needed to designate more time to using the tool to carry out a truly effective brainstorming session . This was shown to the other team directors , and they very much agreed with our conclusions , meaning that next season a longer designing phase will be granted to us .
Approach
We have decided that the Learning launch would be the most appropriate method to further carry out research and development . However , just one instance is n’t evidence enough to be conclusive as to its long - term viability . Applying the method a second time next season would allow us to gather further evidence in order to refine and streamline our decision making further .

Challenge :
Visualization is a powerful tool to bring out your creativity and intuitiveness in Design Thinking . Instead of jotting down all the relevant points of a certain topic , visualization is a much helpful way to align the organisation around a common understanding . The current reality focuses on dealing with problems using the What Is question . The scenario we create around that idea offers an approach to reach that solution .
Selection :
Different types of customers such as educators , students , retailers , government agencies encourage the creation of links collaboratively as explained in module three by Melissa Flores . Humans are very visual creatures . They work efficiently if their idea is represented in a creative form their mind feels the best in . I often use this technique and it provides an outlook for my own customised approach over all my work process .
Application :
As college student , we need to work on certain projects which requires creativity and team work . Similarly , my teammates and I worked on a project recently for what we needed a lot of prior research upon the implementation of topics . Visualizing a problem and getting to the solution proved to be very helpful to us over describing and communicating our ideas to each other . Topics got accessible easily by visualization , to perform their working simultaneously and also gathering information needed to be interrelated for the setup . So , the idea to revolve around was making a AR simulation for viewing a vehicle 360 degree . To collaborate among everyone , Visualization worked efficiently and helps in better understanding .
Insight :
Through this project , we realised how efficient visualization proves to be to bring out an idea over different levels of understanding and making it work altogether . Although , we anticipated that our project was quite tough to implement at first and the possibilities of errors were plenty , prioritizing work to every team member and also mingling all over creative concepts together did well enough for us through visualization . Moving forward , our project was super easy to explain and interpret plus gave us a benefit over our design thinking skills .
Approach :
As an alternative approach , the tool of mind mapping can work equally as visualisation . Mind mapping has become an integral part in today ’s learning process . Human retention is increased by 30 % through pictorial representation but without mind mapping we can not move further . Similarly , the problem - solving approach gets easier using mind mapping as well . The design thinking in itself is a great way for this collaborative approach .

1 . Challenge
I ’m working for a health insurance company as HR Manager Training & Development . Our challenge is to transform the existing training programms into pragmatic , future oriented programms along the strategy with real added value for the company and the employees and therefor for our clientes . At the moment , our training programms are not very aligned with the strategy . They have grown in the past , but very uncoordinated .
2 . Selection : Mind Mapping Tool
When we did research we collected lots of data . We interviewed managers and employees , we did some research and benchmarking with other companies and we scanned some of the important university programms . We decided to use the Mind Mapping Tool to look for patterns and insights in all the data . The Mind Mapping Tool helps to analyze information and break down complex data and idea into patterns and insights . It is preparation for the „ what if “ phase ( video Mind Mapping Tool , week 3 ) .
3 . Application :
We invited different stakeholders for a workshop . For the workshop we prepared various „ walls “ and sticked all the data and ideas we have collected on the „ walls “ . When the workshop startet , we gave the participants some time to walk through the walls and go over the data . Then we did short introductions and explaint the data an ideas . After a short break we asked our participants to pick out the things they think that they fits or does n’t fits . An mark them on sticky notes . Then we asked them to go in teams ( 5 people each team ) and then to cluster the things they have choosen and to look for the insights as well as for connections between the clusters . Unfortunately we have n’t had the time to translate the insights into real design criteria . This will now be the next step we do .
The workshop was very effective . We have sorted and simplifyed this mass of data and ideas and worked out the essence . And we received a good visualisation and a very inlined understanding about the patterns and insights . And one very good thing is , that the participants now are really supporting our work .
4 . Insights :
It was very interesting to see how effectively it was possible to simplify data . And I have realised how important the work ( engagement ) with the stakeholders is and how good this tool is because oft he prepresentation of various minds . My thinking about the challenge was affected through several insights . One is , that I have learnt about the importance of getting certificates and the possibility of community learning .
Overall , with design thinking I have realized how important it is , to understand the current situation and to really investigate time on the „ what is “ phase . Another point I have realized is how important a variety of ideas is . I am often very focused on solution , and if I have found a solution which fits for me , I am happy . Design thinking shows how important
the representation of different minds is and that many ideas brings more possibilities to run learning launches and to really find the best solution .
5 . Approach :
I would for sure apply the same tool . It is a very good tool to simplify data and to find patterns and insights . It allows us now to establish criteria and to start with the next phase ( what if ) . And the stakeholders are involved in a very good way .
There are two things I would improve next time . I would calculate more time for the workshop to make it possible to really translate the insights into design criterias . I think this is the heart of this tool and the very needed output for the next phase . So this time , we have to do a follow - up workshop to generate criterias . I think it would be much better to do so in one workshop . And I would start straight with the short introductions and explainings oft the „ walls “ , the time they had to walk trought at the begin was n’t very efficient .

We are a small team which consists of three young employees . Besides the research activities and data collection for the university itself ( intern orders ) we also provide companies and NGO with consul- tancy . The head of our institute sets the annual financial goals . This year in November , we already know that we wo n't reach the financial goals ( lack of approximately 15 % ) . Therefore , I decided to use a design thinking tool to analyze the " what is " situation . I wanted to get deeper insights regarding this unsatisfactory situation . In the past , problems like this were discussed with the head of the institute and the team leaders from other departments and we tried to get solutions . Although I have an open and good relation to the colleagues of my department and we do develop the strategic planning to- gether , I never systematically involved the team concerning the financial aspects . This is mainly be- cause of the fact , that we did n't struggle with such a financial pressure in the past .
To get a benefit from the design thinking course for my business life , I decided to use the mind mapping tool to build a bridge between the stages " what is " and " what if " in this specific situation . The mind mapping tool is a visualization tool which enables the users to get new and deeper insights in a situa- tion and find patterns and motives in a creative way , which we would maybe miss by using a traditional approach like studying longs reports or just discuss the problem in an unstructured way . The involve- ment of the whole team in this strategic issue should ideally open the thinking process and increase the motivation , identification and the awareness of the problem in our department .
Application : At the beginning , I described the core question for the mind mapping workshop as follows : What could be reasons that we did n't reach the financial goals 2018 ? After this , I invited the team members from my department to the workshop . I did n't give them any preparation work , as I wanted them to come open minded and uninfluenced . I just told them that I want to test a tool from the design thinking course . I prepared the workshop by printing financial statistics , market information , customer sales volumes , strategic documents and other material , that seemed to be relevant to analyze the situation . I printed them large as posters , so that everybody could see and work with them . I used a conference room with big windows and posted all documents on it . At the beginning of the workshop , I introduced the core question and invited the team to look at the posters to get an overview of the situation . After this , I asked them to write notes on post - its . They should note what attracted their attention and which insights they get from the posters concerning the core question . The next step was the presentation of the individual notes . The first team member , which was the newest employee in our department , presented his notes and posted them on the appropriate posters . The next team member then pre- sented his notes and complemented the thoughts of the first member . At the end , I also presented my notes and we finally got a lot of post - its on the window .
At the end , we recognized , that we had a lot of similarities but also some differences regarding the evaluation of the situation . We discussed all points and tried to build superior clusters out of the big amount of inputs in order to get design criterias for the next step in the design thinking process ( what if stage ) . We marked the clusters and connections between them with a new color which allowed us to get a kind of summary of the problem evaluation . I reassured , that everybody could identify himself with the clusters , so that we reached a common understand of the question " what is ? " .
Insight : The workshop gave me not only new insights about the current situation but also inputs how the team feels about the problem and what they are struggling with in their daily business . I recognized for ex- ample , that the newest of my team members , who is a rather shy but very analytical person , shared his personal emotions about the ambitious acquisition methods we practice in our department . He told us that he feels still uncomfortable in the acquisition and he wish to be more trained for difficult
customer negotiations to gain more orders . As he opened himself , the other team member also shared his problems with the process of acquisition in a way , he never told me before . I learned , that the acquisition method I work with is not a method that works for everybody , especially not for young employees with no experience in negotiation with higher positions in local companies . Another point that came up was that both of my colleagues think that our most profitable products will maybe not survive the next years because of the current trend of do - it - yourself solutions in the area of market research . They described how companies are handling data collection today by automating and we came to the important conclusion , that we must strengthen primary our consultancy competences instead of our data evaluation skills . The workshop showed me also that my team members are very highly motivated to face the next steps , because the felt involved in the problem .
Overall , by using the method of mind mapping , I recognized , that this structured method helped us a lot to achieve a common understanding of the problem . Although we speak a lot with each other in the daily business , the workshop showed me that I need to involve my team members more in financial and strategic questions in a structured setting . I really appreciated the variety of opinions that came up on the workshop . And I was especially surprised how easy it was to structure all the mentioned points into five clusters , which probably have the most impact on the situation . The mind mapping tool helped us in the discussion to focus on the main points of the problems .
Approach : The mind mapping tool was a very useful approach to structure the problem into the most relevant clusters so that we can work with them in the next stage of the design thinking process . The posters on the windows in combination with the identified key clusters helped us very much regarding the clarity of our thoughts . It was easily possible to develop connections between different aspects of the problem and gain new insights and ideas . Because of these advantages , I would certainly use the same tool in a similar situation .
Next time , I would probably invite also some open - minded colleagues from other departments of our university . As we have different departments in our organization ( for example economy , social work , health care , IT , engineering ) , we should use this unique position . Different persons from different dis- ciplines could develop even more and deeper insights and new ideas . Another thing I would change is that I would involve my team members concerning the posters I prepared . During the workshop , I recognized , that there are even more important information and graphics , that would have helped us . Last but not least , as the team was highly motivated at the end of the workshop in the morning , next time I would maybe start directly with the what if stage in the afternoon or the next day to use the current motivation and drive of the team .

### Input: Challenge & Selection : I am the team leader of the department market research and data collection at our local university . We are a small team which consists of three young employees . Besides the research activities and data collection for the university itself ( intern orders ) we also provide companies and NGO with consul- tancy . The head of our institute sets the annual financial goals . This year in November , we already know that we wo n't reach the financial goals ( lack of approximately 15 % ) . Therefore , I decided to use a design thinking tool to analyze the " what is " situation . I wanted to get deeper insights regarding this unsatisfactory situation . In the past , problems like this were discussed with the head of the institute and the team leaders from other departments and we tried to get solutions . Although I have an open and good relation to the colleagues of my department and we do develop the strategic planning to- gether , I never systematically involved the team concerning the financial aspects . This is mainly be- cause of the fact , that we did n't struggle with such a financial pressure in the past .
To get a benefit from the design thinking course for my business life , I decided to use the mind mapping tool to build a bridge between the stages " what is " and " what if " in this specific situation . The mind mapping tool is a visualization tool which enables the users to get new and deeper insights in a situa- tion and find patterns and motives in a creative way , which we would maybe miss by using a traditional approach like studying longs reports or just discuss the problem in an unstructured way . The involve- ment of the whole team in this strategic issue should ideally open the thinking process and increase the motivation , identification and the awareness of the problem in our department .
Application : At the beginning , I described the core question for the mind mapping workshop as follows : What could be reasons that we did n't reach the financial goals 2018 ? After this , I invited the team members from my department to the workshop . I did n't give them any preparation work , as I wanted them to come open minded and uninfluenced . I just told them that I want to test a tool from the design thinking course . I prepared the workshop by printing financial statistics , market information , customer sales volumes , strategic documents and other material , that seemed to be relevant to analyze the situation . I printed them large as posters , so that everybody could see and work with them . I used a conference room with big windows and posted all documents on it . At the beginning of the workshop , I introduced the core question and invited the team to look at the posters to get an overview of the situation . After this , I asked them to write notes on post - its . They should note what attracted their attention and which insights they get from the posters concerning the core question . The next step was the presentation of the individual notes . The first team member , which was the newest employee in our department , presented his notes and posted them on the appropriate posters . The next team member then pre- sented his notes and complemented the thoughts of the first member . At the end , I also presented my notes and we finally got a lot of post - its on the window .

For my project , I was asked to act as an automobile councellor where I could help people buy the right vehicle according to their budget and need .
For this I therefore chose to apply empathy to connect to my consumers / customers emotionally by understanding their needs !
Application :
So here I started asking relevant questions like what type of car they prefer and what would be their budget ? What distance would they be travelling on a monthly basis and what colour would be their go to choice ? Asking such questions uses the ides of storytelling as we are asking such questions and expecting answers in the firm of paras or stories from their side .
Insight :
What I have learned from conducting this exercise is that while the graphic is an important part for reinforcement , their understanding of the problem they are working to solve , the more valuable aspect of the activity , it shares the insights and shared learning that occurs while they are working to state their problem . The graphic gives the group of customes a point for discussion that allows them to share their perspectives and develop insights into potential causes of their problem .

THE CHALLENGE1
I am a systems thinker , learning to think - design . In the last six months I have been involved in a multidisciplinary design project led by design teachers and students from Alliance University . The project has to do with Concord , an amusement park under construction in Costa Rica . Concorde is going to be a park able to offer its Costa Rican ’s ( CR ) visitors a space - time shell for both a ludic reunion with their culture and with ancestral mother earth . And for non - Costa Ricans an opportunity to know more about this rich culture - nature . As a matter of fact , the originators and financial supporters of this undertaking aim at building a thematic park able to offer visitors a variety of ludic interactive experiences to recover both the meanings that historically have shaped CR ’s cultural identity and the respect for their natural legacies .
In preliminary meetings with management to define the design challenge , they pointed out that they had paid much attention to the “ reunion with the culture ” aspect of the project but that they needed to think more thoroughly the “ reconnecting with mother earth ” aspect . Accordingly , management posed the following challenge : design experiences that could open the senses of the visitors to the surrounding nature and to the particular disruptive ways we relate to her .
We began our design - thinking process with the what is stage . Accordingly , we launched a series of activities such as interviews to management , gathering of relevant written and video materials and visits to the park under construction . Using tools like mind mapping , several issues began to emerge from the data thus collected . One issue was related to management preoccupation with appropriate waste disposal in the park and how to relate this to the need to contribute to raise consciousness on the harm done to nature and to the future viability of the planet , shall our intensive - waste economies continue to rule the world . In this direction they felt an amusement park could be a powerful educational tool . As a matter of fact , they said the park should be a living example to their visitors of respect and care for nature . They wanted to make transparent to the visitors the innumerable provisions management has taken during the construction of the park ( 35 % so far ) to protect the surrounding flora and fauna , the natural sources of water , and to ensure a clean energy supply . Another “ proof ” of their concern with environmental issues was their adoption of circular economy practices in the operation of Concord . An interesting insight arose from one interview in which one of the managers explained why the park ’s name was Concord : We want visitors learn to weave a new covenant with mother nature . Some design criteria also began to emerge . The
1 The information presented here is confidential . No use of this material is permitted without the author´s consent . Names and places have been changed in order to protect the clients ’ privacy .
educational activities of the park should make ample use of ludic and experiential learning . Visitors should be invited to experiment and play to become aware of their connection with nature ( or the lack of it ) . With these and other insights and design criteria we went into the what if stage . Using idea generation methods such as brainstorming and collage techniques , several ideas and combinations of them emerged . For instance , the use of augmented reality apps to allow visitors enter any of the basic park attractions ---e.g . traveling by boat on a small scale representation of the main river of the region--- and by pointing their cell phones or tablets to , for instance the river , display on the screen phone which species of fish are native of this region and what is their level of extinction risk . Another idea related to the previous one was the use of banners throughout the park with pictures representing flora and fauna of the region and a QR code to obtain 3D eco - information on the spot .
After a couple of months , we programmed the first meeting with management to elicit their feedback on some of these ideas to tackle the challenge . Their reaction was : we like them but they are quite unarticulated both between themselves and in relation to some attractions of Concord like the Butterfly Nursery or the mythological malokas ( like huts where mother nature plays a central role ) . At this point comes into play the Storytelling Tool whose application I would like to present in this written assignment .
SELECTION OF THE TOOL
We felt our power point presentations were far from inspirational . Furthermore , as management has pointed out , our business ideas were quite unarticulated . A story , we thought , could help us to string them together in a coherent meaningful whole . Which in turn will help us to inspire our clients , in relation to the challenge . Storytelling is a powerful tool used by design thinkers to communicate business concepts in a way that is inspirational for business leaders and stake holders involved in a design - challenge situation . ( Week 2 . Video : Storytelling tool ) . Its power lies in that we are , as many have said , storytelling beings . That is why we all resonate with a good story . There is an emotional connection with it that allows design thinkers to more easily communicate with business managers .
APPLICATION OF THE SELECTED TOOL
Voyage to the center of mother earth . This was the Vernian - like title of the story we created . Visitors would undertake a reunion journey with mother earth to ask her forgiveness and listen to her breezy words of wisdom to help humanity draw a new covenant to save Pacha- Gaia - Us . In this new covenant the earth will recover its sacred condition and humans will become again her sacred children , committed both to mend the harm made , and care and honor their mother ever after .
The journey starts in a Maloka ( American Indian hut ) with an introduction to the visitors to the local Pachamama mythologies of ancestral cultures of Central and South America . The universality of this archetypal figure is shown to the visitor by introducing Gaia , the ancestral mother of all life in Greek mythology . These mythologies were powerful “ stories ” which inspired and organized human action for centuries in complete harmony with nature . How have we become to the present condition on the verge of the total destruction of the earth ?
Perhaps we need a new powerful mythology , within which a new covenant with mother nature can be embedded . These reflections will set the tone for the journey to the center of mother earth ( Pacha - Gaia ) .
The trip will unfold through a trail which has five stations related to the five senses . In each station the initial message will be revisited . In effect , visitors will receive a gift from mother earth followed by a short video showing how that gift has been destroyed by us , consciously or unconsciously . In the first station visitors will come across Dancing Colors . It is a butterfly nursery . Butterflies of the region are well known for the beautiful colors of their wings . In this setting , one will be able to appreciate their magnificent colors flying and drawing all kinds of color patterns in the air . In the same place visitors will see a video showing how intensive agriculture based on agrochemicals has poisoned this beautiful gift . Before heading to the next station , visitors will be asked to reflect on how are they responsible of this tragedy . In the next four stations , Healing Fragrances ( a flower garden ) , Golden Nuggets ( Maize , a sacred plant , a gift from the Sun God ) , Garden of Sounds ( nature - made sounds ) , and Caress ( barefooting walking on grass , or a path of stones and water , or simply plain earth ) , the gift followed by the gift destruction and the self - reflection pattern will be repeated , the only difference being that the reflection at each station will be compounded with the previous reflections to finally reach a climax : the encounter with Pacha - Gaia at the end of the trail .
The storytelling approach to communicate to management our business concept was remarkably much better than our previous ppt . presentation . In addition , the voyage story allowed management to see how this whole narrative could help to define more clearly the identity of the Concord park . In fact , some of the settings required in each stage of this Journey were already in place in the park ( particularly the butterfly ’s nursery and the mythological hut ) , and others could be integrated into the narrative to provide visitors with a holistic experience .
INSIGHT AND APPROACH
An eye opener was to see how difficult was to communicate a complex business concept using traditional ppt . presentations ( even when taking care of choosing very carefully the images in such presentations ) . The story telling tool improved communication with management 100 % . An alternative approach came to mind during the application of the ST tool . It was the use of Visualization in the form of a storyboard . The linear direction of the cells in a storyboard is quite suitable for storytelling .

fueled by analytics and better use of data . There are many potential issues and bottlenecks in service
innovation processes , but we are usually able to mitigate them by deep data and domain knowledge in
combination with some design - thinking activities as visualization , mind mapping , etc .
Developing a new successful service offering nonetheless also requires a lot of customer involvement and
iteration , so I have found inspiration in the learning launch approach to improve quality and ensure
relevance in our innovation process .
Application
For our first application of the learning launch , we have chosen a service offering for predictive
maintenance which came from an idea from an R&D team and went through a visualization phase . The first
step for us was to prototype a data model for testing and add a frontend.in form of a dashboard that we
could show to stakeholders in order to get feedback on the concept .
We now had a prototype and some assumptions about how it would help our customers by addressing a
need of being able to be more proactive . This could help lower service costs and energy consumption , but
we still had to validate whether we were addressing the right stakeholders ( the persons that would use the
tool ) and whether the concept would fulfill the need sufficiently .
Insight & Approach
To address our own confirmation bias and learn how to improve on the original ideas , we engaged with
more customers . We invited both existing and potential new customers to participate in a proof of concept
phase . The convincing argument for the customers to get involved was that we initiated it as a co - creation
phase where we offered to tailor the new service after their feedback . Hence , it was a win - win as they
would ultimately receive a service offering that is fitted for their needs and we would learn what our
customers are looking for .
The structured feedback we received led us to iterate on more of the features and helped us to understand
how our customers prefer to consume the service offering . Moving forward , this approach will be a part of
our launch designs doing service innovation .

Challenge / Selection
They say humans are emotional creatures . Story telling allows us to digest and understand information
more easily because it connects information to emotions . It is a powerful tool that we can use to impart
messages to other people . This is where we use our imaginations and see our self or profession . Our
brains becoming more active when we tell stories . The language processing starts with the brain , where we
put words into meanings , through this we build good communication between the speaker and the listener .
As an electronics engineering student , one of our challenge is to know how we could create and tell rational
stories while pitching our ideas and proposing our design project . It ’s hard to have and main the interest of
the listeners , also to persuade others , therefore this tool is very essential for me as a future engineer when
it comes to communicating my clients and selling my products .
Application
Storytelling is embedded in my daily life . It is a great tool for self - expression and social interaction . Most of
the subject requires us to pitch our ideas regarding the proposed topic especially in the design project . I
have experience pitching a topic in front of the panelist and my co student . Honestly , I am afraid talking in
front of big crowd . I have stage fright and I am not confident enough to speak in public . My proposed topic
in design project is entitled “ Automatic Eye Controlled Wheelchair ” it will benefit the paralyzed and immobile
persons . The project will help them to drive their own wheelchair without the need of others . I started the
pitch by saying imagine yourself being paralyzed and not being able to move any of your body parts . It is
one of the technique to make the presentation catchy to the audience . I also gathered information and read
several studies regarding the topic to support my ideas . I want them feel that there is a need of this project .
And this is the storytelling scheme , as what Chen and Jamshed Diaz said on Design Thinking
for Innovation , Storytelling is very compelling . It connects people to their needs , and emotion that leads to
better understanding .
Insight & Approach
Five weeks of the course really help me doing the design project . Storytelling tool will help me to persuade
the interest and maintain the attention of the audience . I got techniques and knowledge to my professors in
this course . It made me realize not to focus on technical side but also in delivering such ideas into words . I
have to practice having confidence in speaking and building networks . I will surely apply all the tools
specially the storytelling tool in sharing my ideas , proposing projects and marketing products . I also
recommend this to other people to arrive with better presentation .

Challenge :
Working with organizations in developing communities was my favorite thing to do on my free time . I started to know more and more growing my knowledge and skills in social working . The problems were surrounding every organization and the most relevant problem was misunderstanding of basics of working(i.e . , management , bylaws , budgeting , resources mobilization and projects management ) and that was facing many organizations when they wants to grow and expand in serving communities . So me and my team consists of interested people in social working wants to understand the conditions and problems targeting solve theses problems .
Selection :
After going into many conversations with many organizations members it was clear that regular meetings and interviews are not helpful any more in understanding the problem from other points of view till I started meeting organizations members with white papers and the results were unbelievable and I started to know more the real causes of problems that I really was n’t seeing before . Then I decided to continue this type of meetings .
Application :
To be honest , first interviews were not with high quality because I used to draw and graph and take notes while the interviewee talking . To catch up with details I thought about let someone else take notes while me and the interviewee both have papers and drawing structures after I told him to draw shapes and structures with me and that was the part that you understand the problems from other points of view and you can make comparison between your own thoughts and the interviewee ’s ones .
Insight :
By applying visualization tool I realized that I missed many points and conditions that causing the problems in organizations and many of them were clear and observed but we ca n’t think before they make sense(i.e . , decision making mechanism in organizations , new volunteers attraction , job offering criteria and training office issues ) .
These insights let me thought more about my perspectives and my past imaginations of problems and solutions and that and everyone in the team did the same and at the end we have a totally new thoughts about the real causes of problems in social working field .
Approach :
Visualization tool is not only source of data but also a good teaching method and by making organizations members aware by their position in their organizations and communities and countries and even the world make them more comfortable to solve their problems . We are thinking on applying this tool on meetings with organizations members and excusive members and let them lead the discussion about what they wrote down .

CHALLENGE
I lead the Operations of a start - up media company focused in making short movie contents at YouTube . The start - up company is composed of all remote workers and uses Slack and ClickUp software applications in communicating updates and project progress .
The Target : Produce and publish 4 video content each week ( 1 for each editor ) .
The Challenge : Reduce video revisions up to 1 only to meet the target weekly outputs .
The project scope includes 1 Operations Lead to facilitate the workflow , 1 Production Lead to review and approve content produced , and 4 Video Editors to create content based on concept direction . All of the team members are remote workers .
The project should not exceed than 30 business days to have ample time to provide a solution and discover inefficiencies in repeatative revisions that causes delay in the production output per week .
SELECTION
We have already developed a general guidelines for the video standards , targets , and coordinated with the Video Editor ’s through video conference the problems they are encountering with the process . These allowed us to gather insights and see from their perspective the bottlenecks that are present with our implemented guide and workflow .
The common problem gathered is feedbacks are not properly communicated since all the teams are working remotely compared to face - to - face discussions . This allowed us to proceed to make a learning launch to test the hyphotetical solution . Additionally as stated in Week 4 : Learning a Launch Tool , it is better to do lots of experiments rather than making a business plan . Simply because learning launches tests execution and assumptions in a fast efficient way and enables you to pivot in the right direction based on the output .
APPLICATION
For our initial learning launch , I asked the Production Lead and the Video Editor the usual revisions they encounter to compile both sides from the approval side and creation side . This will enable both parties to have transparency and efficiency in the workflow .
We created a table for the Video Editor to input the issues on revision and the Production Lead to put potential solutions to the issues :
VIDEO EDITOR PRODUCTION LEAD
REVISIONS ARE NOT DEFINED CLEARLY INDICATE TIMESTAMPS ON PARTS TO REVISE
REVISIONS INCLUDES PAST REVISIONS ALREADY HAVE A TRACKING ON REVISIONS ALREADY MADE
NO PROPER COMMUNICATION TOOL IN REVISION FIND A PLATFORM TO CONSOLIDATE REVISIONS
For the next phase of the learning launch , we looked for a software that meets the needs of the Video Editor and Production Lead . The inputs they gave will be the criteria in filtering the software to use rather than just picking any video editing or collaborative software based on popularity or ranking .
We have picked Frame . IO as it matches the criteria . It has the following features of setting status for uploaded videos , creating review links to allow easy access , add comments specifically on timestamps of the video for clearer feedback , have a separate review panel that consolidates all comments , and integrates in Slack for any updates or comments placed . We then started onboarding the 4 Video Editors on how the software functions and to upload their video in it to test improvements in the revision process .
A validation of 0 to 30 days will be applied to check the efficiency of the software and provides the solution needed .
INSIGHT
Upon application of the learning launch and using Frame . IO , it produced the following results :
Managed revisions up to 1 as feedback from the Production Lead are detailed and partnered with visual descriptions supported by the software .
Video quality of video editors were able to meet the target 4 videos per week ( 1 video per editor ) as all feedbacks are consolidated , supported with visual timestamps , and defined parts to revise .
In conclusion , this improved the workflow of our video editors and enabled to meet the target content to publish by 4 in a week . Additionally , this developed the quality of output and foster teamwork and efficient communication considering the company are all remote employees . We have also maximized the current technology tools we are using , which is Slack , as a tool to update progress since it seamleslly integrates with Frame . IO .
APPROACH
Given the outstanding results and improvements we have seen on the execution of te learning launch , we will use this process and update our general guidelines to document the process for the team ’s reference and for new video editors and production lead that will onboard the team in the future .
A feedback loop will be created to monitor the progress and feedback on the production team and adapt to new changes as the company grows .

Challenge My Warehouse team and I , as the Planning and Logistic Manager , have the need to transform our warehouse operations to improve material workflow , inventory accuracy and internal customer satisfaction . The scope of this project includes to reorganize resources , optimize warehouse layout and implement new operational processes while maintaining warehouse current operations . This project will be executed in 12 months . Selection My team and I were mostly familiar with scrum project management methodology and have little inside about design thinking . As a team we decided to use the learning launch tool to allow us to experiment with pilots and do life test of results within the team and internal customers . Application Before releasing our first pilot , all the warehouse team participate in a week - workshop of “ Warehouse Best Practice ” to standardize criteria ’s and gain a solid knowledge base among the team . Throughout the project we run four pilots : Pilot 1 – Reorganization of the team based on material types Every member of the team was assigned to manage a specific type of material ( spare parts , packaging , safety , etc . ) , their main goal was to learn how to manage reception from suppliers and delivery to internal customers while being fully responsible for managing inventory . This first pilot has two goals ( 1 ) to test the knowledge base of the team and ( 2 ) to validate this organization workflow . Pilot 2 – Reorganization of the team based on end customer ( suppliers or internal customers ) Not having a good result in the organizational workflow in Pilot 1 , we decided to divided the team in two sub - teams facing only one customer . The reception team will face our suppliers ; therefore , they were responsible for receiving materials , quality control and loading up the inventory . The Delivery team will be facing our internal customers ( mainly operations and maintenance teams ) , and their responsibilities will be focused on accurate picking and discharging inventory . Pilot 3 – change warehouse layout Based on the learning experience of Pilot 1 & 2 , the team design and implement a new layout of the warehouse , adding a separate door for suppliers , modifying racks positions and defining material locations to simplify the internal flow of work . Pilot 4 – new operational processes Once the team consolidate the new layout on Pilot 3 , a new set of operational process were developed and implemented , these set of processes were focus on quality control and
inventory accuracy with the main goal of improving customer satisfaction and reducing reworks at the warehouse . Insight By applying the learning launch tool , the team have more freedom and flexibility to develop pilots , test results , learn what works and what doesn´t , capture feedback and make adjustments to the next pilot . The continues trial and error interactions , allow the team to quickly identify the quick wins , expedite the learning curve , while gaining more confidence with the new workflow of the warehouse . Approach Giving the limited design thinking knowledge of my team at the beginning we were not very confident on the trail and error approach and were more oriented towards a more traditional approach of doing all the changes at once . The learning launch tool allow all the team members to experience the changes gradually while opening the floor for active participation and feedback . At the end of the 12 months project our warehouse operation was fully transform with positive results .

Pilot 2 – Reorganization of the team based on end customer ( suppliers or internal customers ) Not having a good result in the organizational workflow in Pilot 1 , we decided to divided the team in two sub - teams facing only one customer . The reception team will face our suppliers ; therefore , they were responsible for receiving materials , quality control and loading up the inventory . The Delivery team will be facing our internal customers ( mainly operations and maintenance teams ) , and their responsibilities will be focused on accurate picking and discharging inventory . Pilot 3 – change warehouse layout Based on the learning experience of Pilot 1 & 2 , the team design and implement a new layout of the warehouse , adding a separate door for suppliers , modifying racks positions and defining material locations to simplify the internal flow of work . Pilot 4 – new operational processes Once the team consolidate the new layout on Pilot 3 , a new set of operational process were developed and implemented , these set of processes were focus on quality control and
inventory accuracy with the main goal of improving customer satisfaction and reducing reworks at the warehouse . Insight By applying the learning launch tool , the team have more freedom and flexibility to develop pilots , test results , learn what works and what doesn´t , capture feedback and make adjustments to the next pilot . The continues trial and error interactions , allow the team to quickly identify the quick wins , expedite the learning curve , while gaining more confidence with the new workflow of the warehouse . Approach Giving the limited design thinking knowledge of my team at the beginning we were not very confident on the trail and error approach and were more oriented towards a more traditional approach of doing all the changes at once . The learning launch tool allow all the team members to experience the changes gradually while opening the floor for active participation and feedback . At the end of the 12 months project our warehouse operation was fully transform with positive results .

CHALLENGE AND SELECTION
Visualization has always been my first step in tackling a problem . My father always told me to sit back and think with a calm mind before acting upon a situation . Clam and collected mind leads to visualization of solution one would n’t come up with if the situation is thought up with stress and tension to find a solution ASAP . First idea is not always the best . I use visualization in most of the task I ’m given , it makes my thoughts more organize and does n’t leave space for doubt in my decision making .
APPLICATION
I got admission in a design college amidst covid , and being an extroverted person , I got in contact with my college mentors online as soon as I could . After making a name for myself in their eyes , they started including me in certain problems relating to interaction among mentors and freshmen , freshmen and seniors and even among batchmates themselves . Since everything was virtual and there was no way for us to get to know our batchmates and seniors , it became an issue . They asked for my opinion on this and told me to come up some ideas that could bridge the gap between our college students . This gave me a perfect platform to apply visualization on a much larger scale , so far I had only made decision individually and just for myself .
INSIGHT
The challenge in hand needed a wider perspective of communication , it would have been easy to get make a group online and let students interact , but that ’s just futile on so many levels . One , having the whole batch or the whole department student in one or two groups would not lead to any beneficial interaction , there would be 500 + messages on group every hour and it would probably be just the same kids talking . It would also become difficult to segregate useful information from casual information . So I wanted to come up with a solution where there would a personal interaction to a degree but also not too professional , a place where we could get to know each other .
APPROACH
First step that I took was sort of segregate on a broader aspect , the level and kind of interaction one would want to have with batchmates , seniors and mentors . There were two : causal and professional . Casual would be more of having common interests , curiosity of personal life , getting to know one another on a personal level . This would need more of one to one conversation rather than in a group except maybe when it relates to hobbies and interest . So casual can again be segregated into group convos and personal . Professional would be a group conversation for common doubts and maybe help relating to different courses in the department .
ORGANIZATION
So I came up with an idea of portal for the college , where there would be certain section , including all activities that would take place in college if we were physically present . There would be four sections : Café , Club , Blackboard and Collabs . Café would have a casual format to it , Everyone could update their profile , mentioning their year , department and something about themselves , they would have liberty to put up to 10 pictures to express their interest and visually describe it . Club would be already segregated sections relating to common interest where one could do streaming and activities . Blackboard would be more professional ; it would be where the mentors and students would interact and lastly Collab would be a professional platform for seniors and freshmen to interact and share information relevant to their academics and careers .

I work for an initiative seeking to help young learners in rural communities in East Africa catch up with the current digital driven society . This we do by partnering with local communities to run after - school digital literacy training programs . Our current challenge is to create support system for the learners we seek to reach by diversifying the training to also train teachers and parents . The project scope will be to establish the willingness and availability of parents and teachers to take such training and how much they are willing to pay for the training . The big picture is to use returns from adults training to support kids training which is offered free of charge .
Selection :
We selected learning launch tool to test ideas we had gathered from engaging with parents and teachers and check the most viable approach to address the challenge . Given we had more than one idea , learning launch tool would give us chances to pivot and build up through lessons to the most feasible idea .
Application :
First , we asked for a meeting with parents and teachers association ( PTA ) . During the meeting we engaged with parents and teachers on “ What is ” situation in the community in terms of digital divide among their children and the community in general . We shared with them data we had collected , observations we made and statistics drawn from different sources . Then we asked them to share with us “ What if ” ideas , what if everything was possible , what would they wish for their kids ? From the collected responses we developed a database of “ What wows ” ideas . We identified a small diverse group comprising of students ( boys and girls ) , teachers and parents , community leaders ( elected and opinion ) leaders , experts and interested parties from our network who we thought would be resourceful to help us come up with top 3 “ wooooowest ” ideas . To engage them we planned for meetings , made calls , and established focus groups . Next , we went out to test “ What works ” by experimenting the top three ideas on their minimum viable product versions .
The first hypothesis test for “ wow idea ” was : - What if we could train parents with small business how to use technology to improve their small businesses . Parents would have more time and resources to support their kids learn technology . To verify this we interviewed 15 parents with small businesses on challenges engages while trying to use technology in their business . Then developed curriculum and training based on the challenges noted . We would measure the number of parents who would be willing to sign up , attend and pay $ 30 for a 2 hours per day for
6 weeks training . We set the success rate / truth criteria to be right if 10 parents would graduate from the program .
Insights
We noted we could have increased the quality of data by increasing the number of parents participating in one cohort from 15 to 20 .
Approach :
We noted we could have involved more local participation during the “ What is ” session . The more the merrier and even if they do n’t have more insights , participation drives ownership which is key while working with rural communities .

Challenge
I handle digital marketing for a university in Pakistan . This semester we were planning our marketing campaign when the pandemic hit and forced us to shut down our campus . Initially , we had made several plans of holding open houses and asking students to visit our campus to see our facilities . We even decided to make a nice welcome office to provide information to any student or parent coming to visit . These plans were put on hold and we had to design our entire admissions campaign online . In general we struggled to attract students to our newer programs and felt that by opening up the campus and showing the facilities we had we could attract better candidates and grow our brand . In short we wanted our prospective students to experience our culture and campus , which could have helped them make a decision to apply to our programs .
Selection
When we decided to take our entire admissions campaign online , we had to figure out a way to still allow our prospective students to experience our campus and culture . We pondered what would be the best way we could do that , so we chose to take the Storytelling approach . Storytelling allows brands to connect with the emotions of the audience and show characters that the audience can relate to . As the Storytelling Tool video from Week 2 of the course says that storytelling does n’t solve a problem but creates a cause “ A cause is something that ignites people , and unites people . ”
Application
We realised that the best storytellers for this situation would be the Alumni . If prospective students saw Alumni established in good companies , and they tell the story of their experience on our campus , then that could attract those students to apply . Because it is their story that would be the most honest account of the campus experience rather than the marketing team trying to tell why the University would be a good fit for them . That is the reason we created a webinar and had some of our well established alumni talk about their experience at the University through their stories . We promoted the webinar with the names , titles and companies five of our Alumni are working in , we then set up a sign up sheet that allowed us to collect data for these prospective students . During the webinar , the alumni talked about their stories and their experience at the University and how the University helped them excel in their respective fields . The moderator himself was an alumni so it became a very personal and casual conversation . This was also live streamed on our official Facebook page , where our representatives were ready to reply to any query immediately . Through this conversation ; facilities , faculty , scholarships and other benefits of the University were highlighted by the stories of the Alumni .
Insight
This turned out to be a successful activity that created a lot of engagement and generated queries regarding our admissions process . As we had live streamed the activity on our Facebook page , we were able to have a reach of 16,500 people and generated about 100 admission applications right after the activity . Our team was available to instantly answer any query a viewer had and directed them to the proper channels for further processing . On the days leading up to the event we had about 200 people sign up and whose data we collected . This taught us that prospective students want genuine stories and this was as real as it could get . It was live and unedited and they were personal stories of success and stories that these prospective students could one day be telling as well . Due to the success of this , we plan to hold similar activities for the remainder of our admissions campaign . This turned out to be a better approach than just posting video interviews or testimonials as they might not have the realness that this did .
Approach
I felt that the approach we used worked and that in our case storytelling , and the way we did it was a great approach that was unique for us and it was a great way of showcasing real examples . Perhaps our next step would be to take this storytelling process to the next step and connecting prospective students with our alumni and current students to have a more intimate one on one conversation so that the stories told can have a more authentic touch to it and help build a strong brand image and loyalty . We are already looking into different tools that can help us easily do that so that our Alumni and students do n’t feel burdened with an added responsibility but can easily do this .

As per assignment I decided to explore and choose learning tool to achieve desired output for the task at hand .
The main reason to opt for this particular tool is that , we have explored various methods in the past also and have
numerous rounds of meeting to improve quality of output and achieve desired result but failed to move the needle
towards desired outcome . we felt as a group to try and implement learning tool as many team members judged it
to be suitable for progress .
Application
After closely analysing existing situation and deliberating it over a couple of months we have realised that the
quality of research paper was not up to the mark wrt to design . First , we decided to analyse the existing creatives
for research papers . The research service is already mature , but it has n't grown anymore . Various hypotheses and
discussions were done to find out reason . Including In - depth interviews , focused group studied were conducted
with several people to verify the hypothesis . There were many interviewees , including research users , publishers ,
illustrators , students , teachers and many others . Through the interview results , we found problems with existing
research service . People just wanted to write and many of them had very lilted interest or inclination for projecting
and design of the research article . For them , research design was a difficult task . So , we focused on the editor
so that we could focus only on writing and giving content for research article . The prototype was made , and the
team members tested and completed . After the design service was completed , CBT was conducted in - house , and
the modification was repeated again . And finally , the design service with external resource was released to the
selected few people . We provided beta services to 100 researchers we selected ourselves and upgraded the
service . A month later , the official design service with help of external in - house designer was released to everyone
and the response was great
Insight
When planning the deign service , it was imperative to check the data and discuss it among team
Members researcher to drive conclusion Based on the meeting , a new function was created . However , after using
the learning launch tools , I was able exact find the root cause of the problem & user 's needs . Thus , enabling and
upgrading process and identifying suitable and efficient resource to complete designated task and develop
prototypes
Approach
We will establish similar identified and efficient specialist resource of each of the task , and thus driving efficiencies
es in all departments and upgrade various services in the future . However , have now released its important to take
into consideration other people ’s perspective and viewpoint in order to get to actual root cause of the problem .
. We will utilize various design tools to crete services that are close to users .

The challenge is to reposition in the minds of consumers a brand of ice cream that has been on the market for more than 50 years , this company was one of pioneers in making ice cream and distributing them several municipalities of the Colombian Coast .
This company currently has a lot of competition not only nationally but globally , yet they are very hopeful of reclaiming part of the market that they have lost due to the lack of updating their processes and products .
For this before we started using the tools with consumers , we had to dig inside the company and do a joint construction to know how we can improve internal processes so that we can then be able to empathize with recurring customers and the next to loyalty in order to fulfill the goal that is to reposition the brand through digital channel strategies and new distribution channels .
For the first phase we had to prepare the minds of the collaborators to make innovation within the company , so it was necessary to know their needs , fears , ideas , empathize with them .
The tool that was used was the observation , we began to observe how the employees behaved in their working days to know what their behavior was and the anticipation of the company and the processes that executed or were part .
After performing the execution they were quoted in a group of 15 people approximately in a closed room with colored walls and the board instead of being on the wall was on the desk , a " interview " began to be conducted although this was not really an interview because it was not structured , everything emerged as a conversation of colleagues . When they were all in more confidence and comfortable with the situation we started doing didactic activities that were more like a game for them through the color posts where they could write their opinions , perceptions and ideas .
In the end the board was a large wall of colors full of ideas , the employees felt happy because they liked to be heard , from this activity could be standardized the process of shopping , billing among others . Since being all involved in the process , not only those working in that department were able to understand in a holistic way how the operation was taking place and it was possible to begin to develop a standardization of processes through a design or flowchart of processes where the process and those responsible were delimited , in addition to how each and every process for which they were contributing were transversely connected .
We then used the following Storytelling tool in several meetings in conjunction with the marketing department where the owners of the company who are family told their story of what their beginnings were more than 50 years ago in the municipalities of the Colombian Coast where the reason they started their company was to accompany the families at all the most important moments , for them ice cream more than a consumer product is an experience , an experience that is shared , ice cream is joy , it is fun , it is to indulge and more than a craving the ice cream will always
be to accompany us not only at the best times but in the saddest , they talked about the importance of families , children and how important it is to take care of each other . The happiness that can be conveyed with a small detail that is able to sweeten until the worst moments , that is ice cream .
All this in order to know how the brand should be visualized for relaunch , explained its value proposition and competitive advantage . All this exercise was done to be able to generate the brand and digital strategies , as the brand was going to empathize with people , because this company had so much time in the market and had been a little forgotten .
Finally the tool used was the Visualization at this time we not only focused on the corporate image , with this tool we were able to rediscover the distribution channels both physical and digital channels to be able to reach more people . How to position ourselves not only in their mind but in their heart . How to get to customers more efficiently .
I would have liked to start with the mind mapping tool which is the first phase of What is ? To address in the second stage information on the volume of information is broad enough to achieve real empathy , which must be realized in a set of " design requirements " or the set of considerations that must be met at the creation stage . We could get interesting insights .

CHALLENGE I studied in an Indian school all my life , the journey was sometimes grueling and sometimes facile . But the Actual problem for me Occured in Grade 11 and 12 , “ The most crucial years of a person 's life ” according to Every Indian Parent , Teacher , Relative etc . I ’d like to share a little something about the Indian Education system . Being one of the Oldest Education system in the world it is said to be predominantly flawed. It does more harm than good to the young minds . The students are overburdened with studies . There ’s no time for Extra curricular activities as the whole focus is on Academics . Moreover , the focus is not on understanding the concept and enhancing knowledge but only on mugging up the lessons with or without understanding them with the sole aim of acquiring good marks and top in every single subject there is . The student is considered “ Not Intelligent ” If he / She fails to get good marks in A particular subject . SELECTION This has caused a major problem even in my life , And to solve this problem I use the storytelling tool . Every student studying in and Indian school has been judged once or more times in their life , based merely on the marks they ’ve attained . I used to be in the top 10 in my class till Grade 10 . Then , we had to choose streams in Grade 11 , And I chose Science stream , As I really liked the subjects , but that turned out to be one of the worst mistakes of my life , at the moment . The Pressure I faced from all the sides , from parents , teachers , peers , was awful . It affected me in numerous ways , I went for 4 - 5 tuitions , I lost my appetite , I did n't sleep for nights , I worked really hard but I never got “ good marks ” , It was no more my cup of tea . This was a really difficult time for me as Every one would consider me to be “ dumb ” . Somehow , after struggling with the subjects for 2 whole years , i passed all the subjects In the 12th grade board exams , except Mathematics ; I failed in The subject and It was a nightmare . It was a nightmare for me , and my parents . My parents were worried about how they ’ll tell their friends and relatives that their daughter had failed a subject , It was a huge thing , Because failing was not permissible , Failing is treated as a crime , literally . So , They told me to lie , they told me to tell my relatives and friends that I got 75 % , and I was also really ashamed of myself so I went with it .
APPLICATION AND INSIGHT Then came the time for college applications , and I could n’t enrol myself in any course because I had failed a subject , even If that subject was n’t required for the course that I wanted . The cut out for the universities was 50 % , And I , even though I had failed in a subject had a total of 69 % , But that was not enough , I had to pass in all subjects to enrol myself into college . I thought I ’d never do college , because that is what we are told , if you do n’t pass your board exams , you wo nt reach anywhere in life , and I started believing that as it was all coming true . My parents sent me to India , I went to a College , I did my diploma in Interior design for two years , I came back to U.A.E , I got into the same course that I wanted to go , which I was declined for , because I did n’t pass 12th grade . I was no longer ashamed to tell people that I did n’t pass 12th grade , Because I learnt something really important that is not the end of your life , there are always more ways to acquire your goal , it may not be famous and the most common one but one certainly can move on from a little fall in their life . APPROACH Now , this a story I tell people without being ashamed because , I was able to attain my goal even without passing my 12th grade , without meeting the standards the society has set for every student . Failing is not a crime , it ’s a part of life , Failing to do something makes a person get a better insight on what they want to do or what they want to become . This is just a personal problem in which I used the storytelling tool , but after doing this course I have learnt that I can use this tool to solve bigger problems .Talking about your problems always is better than keeping it buried inside .

Challenge
I am the current president of the Automotive Center of Excellence research organization , which has more than 100 members grouped in 5 research teams in the field of industrial engineering . This student organization has various activities such as training in the field of research , general meetings , talks , lectures among others with the aim of consolidating the technical and soft skills of its members and of the students of the Industrial Engineering career in general .
One of the biggest problems caused by virtual work given the context of COVID-19 is the high rate of inactive members , more than 30 % of the members are participating minimally in the activities of the organization , specifically , in general meetings , so it is necessary to act in the face of this challenge .
In order to face this problem , there will be the support of the Human Resources area and the coordinators of the different research teams , since they are in charge of holding the general meetings .
Selection
The human resources team and coordinators have already been trained in the Desing Thinking methodology . Likewise , its first three stages ( " What is " , " What if " , " What wows " ) have already been carried out , resulting in two prototypes that are to be applied in the final stage ( " What works " ) . For this , the “ Learning Launch ” tool will be used , since it will help to carry out the experimentation and subsequent validation of the possible solutions .
Application
For our first learning launch , the team will focus on the structure of the general meetings . To this end , a change was made in the order of the activities of the general meetings and a set of topics was included that were the ones that were most accepted in the surveys carried out . This will help to assess whether the problem of absenteeism is due to the fact that the content and the order in which the activities are carried out is not adequate .
For our second learning launch , the team will work on the schedule and frequency of the general meetings . To do this , the frequency of meetings will be reduced ( from fortnightly to monthly ) and the schedule will be changed according to the results of the surveys ( the schedule with the most acceptance ) . This will assess the problem of inappropriate hours and the unavailability of members given their multiple personal activities .
Insights
Learning launch tool made it possible to determine that the problem was in the structure of the general meetings , which was different from the initial hypothesis ( meeting time and frequency ) . The result after making a change in the order and content of the meetings was a reduction in the absenteeism rate from 30 % to 5 % . Consequently , it was decided to incorporate surveys to define
topics of interest before each meeting ( one week in advance ) so that they are part of the content of the general meetings .
In conclusion , the tool was very appropriate for the definition of the solution generating unexpected results .
Approach
When it is in a stage of defining what is the best solution for a certain problem , the Learning Launch tool is one of the most appropriate because the prototype or an idea is evaluated in reality . As it happened in the present case study , the problem turned out to be different from the one envisaged as a hypothesis , generating excellent result . In the future , the team will continue to use this tool to solve the different problems that arise .

• CHALLENGE :
The first challenge I used was storytelling or preparing the mind for innovation . To achieve that state of mind where I can open my creative part of the brain and think of new designs innovation techniques or solutions . As being a mechanical design engineer , I have to always come up with some or the other design innovations where the storytelling tool helped me a lot . Before I was worried about the non - creative part of my brain guiding my design , by which I was unable to design differently from the existing designs , I often ended up taking references or design inspirations from the others . And was n’t feeling growing in the sector .
• SELECTION :
I selected the storytelling tool because it helped me know the audience for which I was supposed to work . I basically used the illustration of evaluation of George ’s and Geoff ’s cycle . Which helped me to work on myself and my weak points .
• APPLICATION :
I started the process by analysing the parts where I lack or face problems , I figured most of my cycle seemed close to the George ’s cycle . I always thought that life is an ongoing test and we all are being evaluated here , And I started fearing . As being a designer I never what kind of project is coming up or what a client wants , when I got a good opportunity like a different design , I used to avoid those projects and stick to the work I earlier did . I never felt growing in my field , when I saw other
designing some critical sketches or models I always thought that they are professionals , I am just an immature I will also design them when I practice but it never happened because I had a narrow repertoire and I avoided new experiences . I always used client ’s data and studied them , and come up with only dew ideas , which in turn leave me with no or less projects . I always thought of risking my life through analysis , that I should waste time on new experience etc . by this approach I never got to learn anything new . As a result , I failed more often , and I was thinking that where am I going wrong , I am good at what I do but why I am not getting new clients . Then I analysed myself with the George ’s cycle and found me with a fixed mindset . Then one day I woke up and thought I have to change my fixed mindset and started following Geoff ’s cycle , seeking new opportunities , always trying to learn something new .
• INSIGHT :
As I student I was trying to get internships , but failed . when I adapted the Geoff ’s cycle I was growing more as a designer as well as a human being , I started challenging my life on every point to learn something new . Taking risks and seeking new experiences . Then I started in internships and got selected in one and still continuing with the company now and they are happy with my creative skills , and better solutions .
• APPROACH :
As I got benefitted with this approach in life , I am going to start using it more and more in life and aspire to be the greatest of all designers in the world . And a good human being over all .

designing some critical sketches or models I always thought that they are professionals , I am just an immature I will also design them when I practice but it never happened because I had a narrow repertoire and I avoided new experiences . I always used client ’s data and studied them , and come up with only dew ideas , which in turn leave me with no or less projects . I always thought of risking my life through analysis , that I should waste time on new experience etc . by this approach I never got to learn anything new . As a result , I failed more often , and I was thinking that where am I going wrong , I am good at what I do but why I am not getting new clients . Then I analysed myself with the George ’s cycle and found me with a fixed mindset . Then one day I woke up and thought I have to change my fixed mindset and started following Geoff ’s cycle , seeking new opportunities , always trying to learn something new .
• INSIGHT :
As I student I was trying to get internships , but failed . when I adapted the Geoff ’s cycle I was growing more as a designer as well as a human being , I started challenging my life on every point to learn something new . Taking risks and seeking new experiences . Then I started in internships and got selected in one and still continuing with the company now and they are happy with my creative skills , and better solutions .
• APPROACH :
As I got benefitted with this approach in life , I am going to start using it more and more in life and aspire to be the greatest of all designers in the world . And a good human being over all .
THANK YOU ...

Challenge & Selection
I work in customer experience management in a telecom company , and we are challenged to conduct a churn Analytics projects to understand more about the customer journey using advanced data mining techniques , the challenge was it ’s new to organization and do n’t know it they will accept the idea or not and there ’s a systems integration issues and it was a Hard job to do the linkage and not sure what we can find useful
So , I decided to apply the concept of learning Launch to work on a small dataset and prepare the analytical dashboard that can work as a proof of concept and if it works , we can scale it to full customer population
Application
The problem of m client is answering the question of wh customers leaves and when they will leave , to address that problem we did the following
- Build a small diverse team from business experts , data experts and IT experts within the company
- Start collecting data of small customers list ( around 1000 customers ) and get a 360 degrees view of their interactions with the company
- Build a prototype with analysis techniques and visualization techniques to build a data product system that explain why customer leave and alert for the high - risk customers
- We set meetings with actual customers with the list to validate our data assumptions
After that we prepare a demo meeting with the client to launch that data product prototype and its functionality , the client and its VPs discussed the analytical data product and challenge some aspects of it , some points were valid and we took it as a learning lesson to re adjust our model
Finally we fix all the valid issues and launches a 2nd iterative version that was more enhanced and then are ready to scale to full customer base
Insight & Approach
Learning launch is a great tool to test any product or service even a Data analytics solution that can help enhance the idea , usability and features to better serve a customer pain in a fast , cheap and effective way

Challenge and Selection :
The most important tool in design thinking process is the mind mapping . Mind
Mapping is the kind of flowchart that helps us in identifying the needs and give a sequential order to follow in achieving a completion of product . I mostly use this process to show my fellow people who are involved in designing the product . This also shows the needs of people , idea that has been generated and the technology that can be used . This also helps in identifying the scope , boundaries , key elements , and relationships between elements to consider when identifying pain points and opportunities for improvements or solutions .
Application :
I start this process by taking a white board and a marker then start drawing the
base structure required for completion of the product development . In the next step I include the materials needed followed by the materials available . Then comes the machinery required . Then I draw the relationship between these things . The most important thing that should be included in the mapping is the requirements of the customer . This makes the major structure . At last I include the marketing strategies and social media promotions .
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 pen and a paper for presenting their ideas and drawing their mind maps . Then I make a note by myself that includes 1 ) What key elements are missing from the maps?2 ) What would be the change so that product development is easy.?3 ) What key insights we have about the relationships between the entities in your problem space ? I give them approximately 20 minutes to discuss the problem and to present their chart .
Insight & Approach : What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that
while drawing the mind maps , we have a clear picture of what we want and steps that should be followed for achieving this . This helps in having an idea of the product with its an and business goals . This helps in identifying flaws and gives a solution for rectifying them .
Since I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the drawing of mind maps next time , I would use the Mind Mapping activity as a point which helps in clearing doubts and finding a solution if an error is found . This is a key element in the product development that makes the designers work with ease and no troubles .

Within the group , I am a part of the Finance Committee which provides monetary funds to our constituent groups , so that they can host events on campus . To be able to provide monetary assistance to many groups on campus , my group has to find a way to raise money each year . It is difficult to raise money by solely asking for donations , so every year we must come up with creative ideas that people will be interested in attending that will also bring in money that we can use to promote the minority voice on campus . To create revenue generating events my team of 5 students must create and implement numerous events throughout the semester to test which attracts the most students . The learning launch tool has been one of the most beneficial tools that we have come across . The learning launch tools allows us to implement many programs and test which one will make the most revenue , so that in future semesters we can have a list of events that is guaranteed to be a hit . The learning launch tool allows us to get direct student feedback on each event , so that we can tailor the events to what students want . Some events are more successful than others , but we test all of them on a smaller scale , so that in the future we can host the events that were most popular on a larger scale . Application My team and I were able to come up with many events that we were able to implement throughout the fall semester with the help of the learning launch tool . We each came up with a couple of ideas that we thought would be interesting and every month we would host a couple of events to see how successful the event would be . These events ranged from bake sales , a student and professor lunch date auction , and playing sports with various athletic teams at our school . The events were low risk , and did not require much money to put together . Since each event was relatively cheap and fast , we knew that even if the event was a failure , we would not lose a substantial amount of funds , because at the end of the day , the goal was to raise money . Some of the most popular events that were a success included playing basketball against the men ’s basketball team at our school and having an auction to take professors and athletes from our school out to lunch . Insight and Approach By using the learning launch tool , my team and I were able to successfully plan and implement many events on campus that promoted the minority voice and generate revenue which then could be dispersed to constituent groups to help them promote their voices on campus . Instead of focusing all our attention on one big event for the semester , which could have been a total bust , we planned many smaller events that were of lower risk of failure . Hosting many smaller events allowed us to learn what students were interested on campus and it allowed us to build better events . The events that did not do as well as others allowed us to learn from our mistakes and expand our horizons . Life is about constantly learning new things and the learning launch tool is an effective way to learn about what ’s best for others and yourself .
Before my team was a part of the finance committee , the previous groups would plan one big event each semester in hopes of raising money and they were never able to reach their goal that they had set for themselves . My group was one of the first to host many events on a smaller scale , and the rolling out the events that were a success on a larger platform . We used the learning launch tool to diversify our events to attract donors and students from many different groups . We set a base for the future students who join this committee on how to plan events and how they can be successful . I took this course while being a part of my finance committee and it helped us think of new ways to get our brains flowing with ideas . We all came from different backgrounds of thinking and I was mostly the analytical type person who was very focused on a single track . The Design Thinking course helped me enter an artistic side of my brain that with the use of my analytical side of my brain I hope to use in my future career as I enter the job market in the upcoming year .

I recently visited a government school in my neighbourhood in order to learn about the situations faced by the students there and the circumstances in which they study and live . Most of the students in the school came from economically disadvantaged households where they faced difficulties involving a lack of money and facilities necessary for daily needs such as food , and healthcare . Like all other parents , the parents of these children want them to receive a good education which is all rounded in nature to develop their personalities , mental abilities , talents and physical abilities . However , it was observed that the students were unable to successfully develop in most of these fields , which was a disappointment for the parents and students alike .
By using the storytelling tool , my aim was to interact with the students of the school in order to discover what the essential problem was , that is , why they were unable to learn what was taught in school effectively . By doing so , I intended to not only arrive at a solution for the issue at hand , but to make the children aware that they must talk about their struggles and difficulties in order to improve the situation . The usage of the tool involves talking as well as listening . By listening to the children and by narrating to them some of my own educational experiences , I hoped to be able to make them feel as though they could relate to my experiences as well . Also , by listening to the way the students at my school tackle with various types of issues , they may feel inspired to do the same for their welfare . Hence , I intended to show them the path they needed to take , for which guidance through storytelling was ideal .
I chose the storytelling tool because in this situation I felt a need to show the children how they must be independent and not fall victims to their difficulties . I wanted them to understand how crucial it is to acquire the skill of taking action to bring about welfare , how to take initiative in the first place and how to carry it through . Storytelling is a powerful tool which often has the same effect as a visual effect to a person with vivid imagination . When a story is told in an imaginative and relatable manner , it captures the interest of the listener and effectively communicates a message .
Application
When I asked the senior students about their problems , I learnt that their main issues were concerned with the school infrastructure and the unenthusiastic approach of the staff . They spoke about how a large number of teachers were not interested in teaching them , and as a result they did n’t feel inclined to pay attention in classes . Some were also harsh , and punished them for failing to do their work or causing disruption in class . This made them resentful and was an unsuccessful method to discipline them . This was the main issue they were facing within the school grounds .
Apart from the staff , they spoke about their discomfort while sitting in class . The classrooms were very small , while the number of students in each room was significantly large . As a result , it was stuffy and hot inside . There were two fans in each room which failed to keep the rooms ventilated . A large number of the students could not concentrate on their lessons due to this .
The younger students were less troubled by the indoor classes , but were indignant about the condition of the playground and sports field . They felt that the field was not properly maintained and that hindered their sports . They also felt that the number of sports balls and rackets were insufficient and that not many people could play simultaneously . The school did not provide means for proper coaching in sports , and the students who were passionate about sport did not have opportunities to refine their skills .
Due to poor teaching methods used , most students were forced to take tuitions in order to understand their subjects . They did not see the advantage of attending classes which were unproductive . The situations at their homes were difficult too , there were constant financial issues and absence of an environment in which they could study . Many students were involved in helping out their parents to make a living , and could not devote much time to their studies .
I listened to what they shared with me , and I then shared with them some of my own experiences . I told them about my school where we too faced issues occasionally ( though they were fewer and much less urgent ) and that we always looked after our needs on our own . This students of my school came together and united to form a student council . We held frequent student council meetings in which we discussed matters of concern and came up with solutions for them . We then communicated our concerns to the school authorities through student representatives along with the solutions we came up with . The authorities immediately addressed the issues at hand and took action accordingly . It had to be addressed , since the students had gathered together to present the problems which were common for all of them .
Insight
The children were awed at the idea , and were awakened to the importance of taking active initiative as a constructive means to solve a problem . They were not used to speaking up for themselves or speaking about their troubles , but this story was an insight for them . I , too , learnt a lot from them . I saw the strength they had and how they used it to deal with burdens in their lives . I was inspired from them too , I saw the importance of courage in life and why it is necessary to not give up and always be hopeful . It also made me a lot more aware about the unfortunate circumstances in which some of us live , and made me compassionate about their pain .
Approach
I feel that the storytelling tool was crucial in this environment , and was ideal for the activity I had planned and the intention I had in mind . I was successfully able to reach my goal and communicate my story to the students , who greatly benefitted from it . Apart from their benefit , I was pleased to benefit from it myself , since I had learnt some important values from them , including hard work , diligence and courage . They had learnt the significance of independence and action from my story . Hence , there had been a mutual exchange of learning , which gave invaluable insight to both the parties involved . I feel that I will use this tool in the future also , after this practical experience of its usage , in similar circumstances . From this experience , I realised that storytelling connects the people involved at an emotional level , which is the essence of its power , and by gaining this experience , I will be prepared with better stories and ideas in the future .

I told them about my school where we too faced issues occasionally ( though they were fewer and much less urgent ) and that we always looked after our needs on our own . This students of my school came together and united to form a student council . We held frequent student council meetings in which we discussed matters of concern and came up with solutions for them . We then communicated our concerns to the school authorities through student representatives along with the solutions we came up with . The authorities immediately addressed the issues at hand and took action accordingly . It had to be addressed , since the students had gathered together to present the problems which were common for all of them .
Insight
The children were awed at the idea , and were awakened to the importance of taking active initiative as a constructive means to solve a problem . They were not used to speaking up for themselves or speaking about their troubles , but this story was an insight for them . I , too , learnt a lot from them . I saw the strength they had and how they used it to deal with burdens in their lives . I was inspired from them too , I saw the importance of courage in life and why it is necessary to not give up and always be hopeful . It also made me a lot more aware about the unfortunate circumstances in which some of us live , and made me compassionate about their pain .
Approach
I feel that the storytelling tool was crucial in this environment , and was ideal for the activity I had planned and the intention I had in mind . I was successfully able to reach my goal and communicate my story to the students , who greatly benefitted from it . Apart from their benefit , I was pleased to benefit from it myself , since I had learnt some important values from them , including hard work , diligence and courage . They had learnt the significance of independence and action from my story . Hence , there had been a mutual exchange of learning , which gave invaluable insight to both the parties involved . I feel that I will use this tool in the future also , after this practical experience of its usage , in similar circumstances . From this experience , I realised that storytelling connects the people involved at an emotional level , which is the essence of its power , and by gaining this experience , I will be prepared with better stories and ideas in the future .

1 Challenge : Describe your challenge , including all relevant information .
My role is that of a Bid Manager in a large information technology service provider . As a Bid Manager , I am accountable for delivering proposals tailored to clients ’ requirements in a timely manner . This process involves working with multiple teams within and outside our organization to create a winning proposition for the client . Once an opportunity is identified , a Bid Manager needs to work with different teams such as Sales , Delivery , Solution Competencies , Legal , Senior Leadership , Third Parties , etc . to ensure that these stakeholders understand the requirements of the bid and contribute effectively in their respective responsibility areas in the proposal .
Given the time - sensitive nature of such bids , it is critical that all parties contribute to it in the specified timeframe to allow time for proper reviews and refinement , which enable us to create a strong proposition . One of the tools that a Bid Manager uses to track progress of a proposal is a Bid Tracker which is a spreadsheet with the proposal sections , owners , contributors , reviewers , dates for drafts and status . While this tool is effective in maintaining the status of the bid , in the case of large / complex bids , the spreadsheet can become long and hence , difficult for the parties to navigate regularly and keep a check on the bid timelines . This can lead to confusion among team members on the expected dates and in turn lead to slippages in deadlines .
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 ) .
To address this challenge of shipping a high - quality proposal in time , the tool that I used was that of Visualization . The idea was to make the key timelines and deadlines clear to team members with diverse capabilities and actions so that they can effectively deliver to these timelines . These team members have different challenges and time constraints . Hence , it is critical that the team collectively understands and agrees to the timelines at the outset of the bid .
In the Visualization Tool lesson , Ms. Angela Myer had demonstrated a tool which helps communicate complex problems to a diverse audience in a non - verbal manner . This is important here as the team members have diverse constraints but need to visualize the bid as a whole , while defining the timelines . Hence , a visual representation can elicit the interdependencies among team members and help address these constraints collectively . Two other key points suggested by Ms. Myer which helped me in this exercise were :
1 . Use of colors and symbols to make the image more intuitive for the participants , and
2 . Have a single image view of the overall bid , so that it is simple for the participants to understand ,
agree to , and refer to in the future .
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 ) .
To create a simple visual map of the overall bid , I started by creating the strawman of a chart with dates as columns ( from the start date till the planned submission date ) and key sections of the bid as rows ( solution , commercials , other artefacts ) . This map helps chart the timeline of the bid in one image ( or in this case – a presentation slide ) .
In this map , based on my understanding of the bid timelines and expectations , I plotted key activities , milestones and review points in / across the cells . The view had colored swim lanes for the activities and symbols for key delivery milestones ( response drafts , client / third party meetings , etc . )
2
and reviews . This served as the starting point for a discussion with the team to achieve the following objectives :
1 . Validate our collective understanding of the proposal timeline and customer expectations ,
2 . Review and enhance the plan to account for interdependencies within the team and on external
parties , and
3 . Get an explicit commitment from all the team members on their respective deliverables , thereby
enabling their accountability on these deliverables .
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 ) .
Through this exercise we were able to deliver the proposal well within the timeframe set by the client . Having a strong yet simple visual plan for reference helped everyone , especially the members who joined our team after the initial kickoff , keep a check on their deliverables and flag any areas where the faced challenges or needed help .
The biggest takeaway for me from this exercise was the simplicity of the approach which helped smoothen one of the most critical parts of a bid by aligning all the team members to a common goal . While the detailed status of each deliverable was available in the spreadsheet tracker , this image was something that the team referred to regularly to check whether we were on track to deliver the proposal with the required reviews and revisions . The reader got a view of the timelines for their deliverables as well as that of the overall bid , which also helped them better appreciate their contribution to the bid .
5 Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why .
When using this method initially , I had kept only the wireframe / strawman and had conducted a detailed session with the team to fill in the details from scratch . While there was a healthy discussion and collaboration in this session , we felt that it might have been better to have some content already present in the wireframe before the session – as a ‘ draft zero ’ of the plan .
In my next bid , I drafted the complete plan , with activities , milestones , etc . ( as described above ) , based on my understanding and we used that as the base . This was a key departure from the original method of starting with only a strawman . This ‘ tweak ’ acted a seed to give the team the opportunity to focus on discussing and improving the plan , rather than building it from scratch .

Challenge & Selection :
We had a new project at our company to create a platform where in end users are government CIO ’s ; sophisticated , technical , and smart end users . Our company offers technical products to help government CIO ’s in their daily work . My role was the project manager . The main challenge was that stakeholders could not agree on the platform interface design , although we had great designers on the team but conflicts kept on showing up on the design each time we meet to showcase it to the stakeholders , and also we had complaints on the user experience going through the platform . Several designs where presented but still conflict showed up where time and effort was wasted and as project manager it impacted my project plan as there was delay on time , therefore I had a meeting with the project team to find a solution to our problem there was clearly several point of views and different mindsets among our stakeholders , therefore after a brainstorming session we agreed to use design thinking to solve our problem by using the visualization tool or visual thinking that will help us to unite the stakeholders visual thoughts on the platform design and user experience flow .
Application :
Our previous approach was that the designers had a meeting or two with the stakeholders each one alone and then they tried to deliver a design that would meet all there thoughts together , so to implement visualization tool we had all the stakeholders in one room and a whiteboard where they all drew and communicated what they think and would like to see by the designers and each stakeholder would add and explain to the other his point of view a lot of discussions happened and designers sketched along , we agreed by the end of several workshops that the designers based on the workshops inputs and discussions we had that we will showcase three designs and agree on one , after a week we met and surprisingly all the three designs that we showed to the stakeholders had good votes and an agreement was done on one , finally after two months of going back and forth on different point of views .
For the user experience part , we used visual thinking in creating the wireframes ; a website wireframe , also known as a page schematic or screen blueprint , is a visual guide that represents the skeletal framework of a website . Wireframes are created for the purpose of arranging elements to best accomplish a particular purpose . The purpose is usually being informed by a business objective and a creative idea . The wireframe depicts the page layout or arrangement of the website 's content , including interface elements and navigational systems , and how they work together . As we did with the design part we had all the stakeholders in one room and printed the wireframes and hang them on the wall to better visualize the user experience flow . stakeholders would draw and comment directly on the printable wireframes . User experience experts would discuss their point of view as experts to the stakeholders until we all come to an agreement that all in the room would agree on . We have conducted several workshops as the platform contains several pages and functionalities and at the end of each workshop , we would all agree and move on to
development phase . This not only helped us in coming to an agreement and uniting the stakeholders point of views it actually expedited the project timeline .
Insight & Approach :
This challenge that we faced in the project and by finding the solution by using design thinking – visualization tool gave me a lesson learned that I actually documented after closing the project , although there was some resistance from the stakeholders at the binging as they come from different backgrounds but by starting drawing and explaining on the white board they eventually came through and started drawing and sketching , it was so positive as some drawings where funny it gave some harmony and enriched the communication throughout the workshops between the team .
I will definitely use this approach again in future projects as it saves time , budget and insures that stakeholders are all on the same page as these three are major pillars in a project success .

Challenge As someone who prefers to be neither seen nor heard , taking on a job role that requires lots of face time with customers proved to be a bit of a personal challenge for me . As a result , I ’ve learned to become more vocal when necessary , but I try to keep my comments to a minimum and only say what needs to be said . Eventually my role evolved into co - teaching monthly technology classes . I was tasked with teaching troubleshooting techniques and helping customers , mostly campus - based techs , become familiar with support software that they may not be familiar with . As a former campus tech , I understand that support staff is often tasked with more duties than one person can easily manage . That ’s why it ’s important to find ways to “ work smarter , not harder . ” For me , the challenge was to improve engagement with customers by utilizing methods of focusing attention and resources . Selection I selected Storytelling because I often present my opinion from multiple angles in the hopes that one of those angles will resonate with the listener . I may not be able to change their view of a particular subject , but they may walk away with a better understanding of mine . Perhaps I ’m a storyteller by nature and am only now realizing it . Application Each monthly class is divided into multiple sections , or chapters . After a lunch break , I take the stage and introduce troubleshooting and support techniques while a presentation is projected on a screen behind me . I use slides with minimal content and try to avoid filling them with large amounts of text or graphics . Before I signed on as a co - teacher , the other teacher of this class used to email the entire presentation to attendees prior to each class . I found this approach counterproductive because attendees often printed out the slides and spent much of the session with their heads aimed downward while looking at the printed pages instead of focusing on the live instruction . I suggested to my co - teacher that switching to providing attendees a summary of the topics in a guide book format , prior to each session , might increase engagement . As a result , at the beginning of each class , attendees were told that they ’d be receiving the guide , so there was less need for them to take detailed notes or photos of the presentation . They were free to focus on what we were presenting . Insight There ’s a utility for macOS named Apple Remote Desktop . My task was to not only introduce attendees to this software , but to help them see how helpful and inexpensive it is . I would begin my presentation by empathizing with attendees by informing them that I was once a campus - based tech , so I understood many of the problems that they encounter on a daily basis . I would tell them that the campus where I worked , prior to my current job , was sprawling with multiple buildings and long hallways . I ’d jokingly refer to my office as a “ cloffice ” ( closet / office ) and , as I rattled off a list of problems that I encountered , I would hear chuckles and see head nods from those who could relate to the struggles . Next , I would
introduce Apple Remote Desktop and begin to read off some of its many features . As I mentioned each feature I would provide a relatable story about how attendees could find it useful . Whether they ’re trying to remotely troubleshoot , push out new software , or observe students as they work in other parts of the campus , attendees seemed excited to learn that all of these things , and more , could be done from the comfort of their office . By making the material relatable , I noticed more questions being asked and a higher level of engagement . Attendees saw the value in the product and felt comfortable with sharing their own stories . As we applied these methods to other aspects of the class my co - teacher and I saw a steady , gradual increase in our post - class survey scores . Approach Before I took on the co - teaching role , I would stand in the back of the classroom and observe as my coworkers discussed various aspects of the technology that attendees are expected to support . I watched as attendees yawned , checked their email , or even played games on their laptop because they did n’t find appeal in the subject matter . Was it because the topics were n’t interesting , I wondered ? Or was it because of the delivery ? When I was brought on to teach I challenged myself to present some of the same material , but from a different , more relatable perspective . My goal was to capture the audience ’s attention prior to presenting the subject to ensure that they have all of the necessary information to determine whether each utility and feature provides added value to their workflow . Storytelling is a great tool for sharing information , but it ’s only one tool and does n’t need to be used exclusively . Recently , on a separate project , I found visualization to be highly effective due to my team ’s need to work remotely . Based on this new discovery , I would like to improve my use of visualization , but rely less on storytelling as my main tool for sharing information . If used properly , visualization can also be the “ attention grabber ” that opens doors for storytelling and collaboration .

When I was brought on to teach I challenged myself to present some of the same material , but from a different , more relatable perspective . My goal was to capture the audience ’s attention prior to presenting the subject to ensure that they have all of the necessary information to determine whether each utility and feature provides added value to their workflow . Storytelling is a great tool for sharing information , but it ’s only one tool and does n’t need to be used exclusively . Recently , on a separate project , I found visualization to be highly effective due to my team ’s need to work remotely . Based on this new discovery , I would like to improve my use of visualization , but rely less on storytelling as my main tool for sharing information . If used properly , visualization can also be the “ attention grabber ” that opens doors for storytelling and collaboration .

Example Reflection – Visualization
Challenge and Selection
Visualization is used in my daily work life to communicate and organize thought in different ways . Using visual thinking enhances the way we see things . Since working at a publishing company , I use this approach with workers and clients .
During a project at work a client wanted to rearrange his entire branding strategy one week before his launch , a project we were working on for almost five weeks . We delivered the first draft of the project which he approved and then a few weeks after he was unhappy , so we were tasked in redoing the entire project over in less than a week .
Application
I began the entire process by first doodling his new changes , then we compared it with other successful designs from this and other clients , comparing feedback and feedforwards . Then we put all our ideas together on the drawing board .
With this strategy the client was ultimately thrilled with the new plan , including the new ideas that were included .
Insight and Approach
I believe we became overconfident with our first ideas on the project at the time , and that I did not check in with the client until almost the last week . I have now learned to always check in with clients on a weekly basis .

1 . Challenge : Storytelling is a good idea to impress and attract the required persons into your
project . I am working as faculty in engineering college and I want to attract the students towards my lecture . The students are of different kinds like matured , naughty , calm going students , etc . Initially I should attract them towards my subject by creating interest in to that subject by saying live or practical uses of that subject in the form of a story . Storytelling is a great tool that I use all the time . Many of these students are in need of job opportunities . They need to be empowered and inspiration is a path to empowerment . I spend a lot of time “ opening people up ” and finding ways to inspire them to improve their circumstances . When I teach average students , I share stories of different average students who got jobs . They find meaning in sharing these experiences as a form of teaching and/or legacy , in a sense . I use their feedback against the context of my story to ascertain their goals , and sometimes we use stories to better understand their interests and thought processes . I use this information to develop different strategies to try and find a way that works for them to gain more independence in the areas they find lacking in their lives .
2 . Selection : Teaching is the tool I selected to improve the student ’s carrier . Using teaching
we can impress , attract , motivate and grab the student ’s attention . This will help each and every faculty to motivate the students to attain their interested job , internship and entrepreneur . Teaching is the process of attending to people ’s needs , experiences and feelings , and intervening so that they learn particular things , and go beyond the given . Interventions commonly take the form of questioning , listening , giving information , explaining some phenomenon , demonstrating a skill or process , testing understanding and capacity , and facilitating learning activities .
This is the best way of creating relationships and environments for learning and catching teaching moments . It is just that these skills need to be employed by someone who can be respected , is experienced as real and is wise .
3 . Application : I have a story about using storytelling . In discussing policy changes with
teaching , I was trying to explain to them the benefits of taking a more client focused approach , among other things , and in particular , of recognizing each person as a unique being , and addressing their individual needs first and foremost . I was also explaining how sometimes addressing the needs of one individual can impact everyone for the better , even if it seems extreme or out of the ordinary .
4 . Insight & Approach : One way is forming connections between students . Students are often
energetic at suggesting connections , most of which are minimally relevant . Rather than discouraging these flights of fancy , teachers might see them as valuable tendencies of engaged learners and discuss how to tell which connections are more fruitful than others .
Second way involves contradictions . Some students are on the lookout for inconsistencies , especially inconsistencies on the part of the teacher . Such behavior can be annoying but the tendency itself is also a sign of an engaged learner . One study found that the best students were alert to anomalies and were stimulated by them , in contrast to unsuccessful students who sought to avoid the conflicting evidence as requiring too much of a cognitive burden . Some teachers will present an erroneous idea and challenge students to shoot it down . Or else teachers can use a student ’s erroneous idea . Teachers may be able to boost insights by encouraging students to adopt a stance or mindset that is driven by curiosity rather than a fear of getting a wrong answer . Teachers can help students notice the insights they have , and encourage more of them . Teachers can suggest that students pick up on connections , and on contradictions , and when students get stuck the teacher can help them to re - examine the assumptions they are making .

Challenge & Selection
Visualization is a powerful tool that allows us to convey our ideas beyond the confines of words or language . It allows us to impart to others , the thoughts and ideas we have in our heads . At the same time , it enables our minds to associate these ideas to images , which will make it a lot easier for memory recall in the future . I am currently a college student working as a consultant for youth organizations . With this being said , as a consultant , I often deal with a wide variety of different problems and challenges , it could go from a leadership training seminar , all the way to constitutional development .
I was posed with the challenge of creating a training module that highlighted being a transformational leader through empathy , which was a transition to another topic chosen by another fellow team member . This particular organization was having a problem with member burnout . The goal in my particular module was to be a transition that remained memorable enough to follow through to the next module , as well as impactful that allowed the participants to engage in discourse with one another . This is why I chose visualization as one of the key components of my module , that was present in both the lecture and activity phases . Visualization allows my ideas and the information that I have culminated through research to be brought into light of my participants in a digestible manner .
Application
As I said prior , I chose visualization to enable my participants to engage amongst themselves as well as create retention with their memory , since the goal of any leadership training seminar is to impart wisdom for them to use on their organization in the future . With this being said my plan to apply visualization came in two parts . The first part being the activity , in which I gave my participants a template to create a a four sided pyramid . With this being said , each side of the pyramid would be filled up by answering a couple of specific questions that I have designated for them . These questions would vary , such as “ What kind of leader do you want to become for your organization ? ” . In essence , these questions centered around what they believe to be their ideal leader . After writing their answers , they are then given the chance to share their thoughts and feelings concerning the questions that were posed to them . Finally , I asked them what they believe is one characteristic that a leader should embody at the base of their pyramid and share . As a big reveal , I rationalized to them how any great leader , needs a good base and foundation , like the pyramid , and this base should be accompanied with empathy , especially given their specific context . Which seemed to hit the mark in terms of retention for memory , all the while allowing them to gain insights from each other through their conversations about their “ ideal leader ” .
The second part was a lecture . Again , I elected to use visualization with my lecture to allow the participants to have a more comprehensive understanding of the topic . I used simple shapes as well as icons in order to associate certain key words to images , in the hopes of ensuring memorability of my lecture . I also put a small quiz to see if their association of these icons with certain key words worked . At the end , it seemed like I was able to keep their attention longer , and even retain the important aspects of my lecture .
Insight and Approach
At the end of the session with the participants , I would say that the biggest insight I gained was that visualization can be , and should be used in a lot of different scenarios . I have come to understand that visualization , aside from being able to gain a consensus between the group at a
faster pace , it also allows us to think deeper . This was particularly seen with how I observed the conversation with my participants , who dug deep to communicate what they believed to be their ideal leader .
In the end , visualization proved to be both a useful and versatile tool . From my experience , I would like to explore mind mapping , as I feel this may be where visualization falls short . Mind mapping , accesses both visualization , but also enables us to comprehensively see the relationships between different elements . Basing on what I learned from this course , mind mapping allows us to better understand complex ideas , problems , thoughts , etc .

Challenge
In 2009 , the bank I work for , embarked on a major digital transformation program . A stream in that program , was dedicated to the re - design and digitisation of the ‘ Account Planning ’ approach and process in the bank . Complete reimagining of how the bank ’s relationship managers ( RMs ) plan for , and develop their client - relationships , in order to achieve their ambitious targets . I was appointed the project manager of that stream .
‘ Account Planning ’ ( AP ) is an annual process ( with quarterly / monthly follow - ups ) , during which the RMs are thinking , and planning rather strategically , about their assigned portfolio of clients . It is done via set of interactions b / w the RMs and , both , internal ( i.e. risk , compliance , product specialists , etc . ) , and external ( i.e. the clients themselves ) stakeholders . The purpose is to define set of targets , product offerings , client - interactions ( meetings , calls , events ) , for each client in the portfolio , with reviews throughout the year . Think of it as a client profiling and journaling at the same time ; turning insights into value .
The issue was , until 2009 , the entire process was done rather off - line , with the support of conventional tools - i.e. emails , frantic exchange of excel , power - point and doc files , kept in PC file - folders - and with no real structure . This kind of approach ( “ what - is ” ) had the inherent risk for client - insights to remain ‘ hidden ’ in the RMs ’ heads and archives ( at best ) with no accountability , or even worst - to be completely lost in case the RM has left the bank , or change position . This impedes building clients - intelligence on bank level .
In order to tackle this , the idea was to come up with completely redesigned , and more structured AP process flow . But even more importantly - develop ( in - house ) , from scratch , a new AP web - app , designed to reenforce the planning process ( “ what - if ” ) . The web - app was designed to keep all interactions standard , and all related files under the hood of a single application .
The main challenge - get the ‘ buy - in ’ from the RMs . Bank RMs are famous for their reluctance of using “ yet another ” bank application . They are also jealously guarding their clients ’ insights . On the other hand , the new AP approach + web - app had the attributes of a muscle - the more you use it , the better it gets . That is why it was absolutely crucial to design the web - app ’s UI / UX * to be as simple , intuitive and easy to use , as possible ( “ what - wows ” & “ what works ” ) , in order to get the RMs ’ buy - in .
Selection
In hindsight , having gone through the course now , I ’ve come to realise we have been using number of Design Thinking tools unknowingly . For example - Visualisation - during the initial stages of the AP approach / web - app re - design . Even , Storytelling - when we first presented the new approach / web - app to the RMs and the broader stakeholders . But perhaps most crucially , in order to get the said RMs ’ buy - in , we resorted to experimenting with the web - app - or what we called the ‘ Account Planning Prototype ’ . Similarly to the IBM story , we launched a “ Learning Launch ” in a selected market with number of RMs , in order to test the AP web - app ’s UI / UX * in a real environment , and see what works .
* User Interface / User Experience 1
Application
We ’ve asked our internal team of code - developers to create a prototype of the AP web - app , based on the initial designs . Then we ’ve selected and invited 40 relationship managers , from a certain market area , to participate in the ‘ Learning launch ’ . After a short presentation and training , we have given the 40 RMs access to the prototype . And invited them , in the course of two weeks , to complete the Account Planning process for all their clients in their portfolios , using solely the prototype app . In parallel , we have created also a web - based feedback form ( similar to surveymonkey ) , that was accessible directly through the prototype app . We used it to collect any feedback , suggestions , insights , comments from the RMs during the 2 weeks of testing / experimenting with the app .
The response was overwhelming . We have received hundreds of suggestions from the RMs : what they did and did n’t like , suggestions for improvements , what they ’d do differently , etc .
Insight
The response from the 40 RMs , during the testing / experimenting , helped us confirm some of the app design features . While others had to be changed or improved . This prototyping helped also our developers gather further insights for the next phase - from prototype to the industrialisation of the web - app .
I particularly liked the ‘ Learning launch ’ tool , because it brings the end - users ( the RMs ) directly into the design process . As in our case , the RMs were a direct participant in shaping the AP approach and web - app . And this was very important for me , as it ensured seemingly their ‘ buy - in ’ .
Approach
I ’ve come to realise , in such a project the ‘ Learning launch ’ ( or broadly experimenting/ prototyping ) in combination with ‘ Storytelling ’ tools can be a particularly powerful pair . The latter is used for telling a compelling story of why the changes to the approach were needed , and communicate , to all stakeholders , a common understanding of the ‘ bigger picture ’ . While the former brings the end - users ( i.e. RMs ) directly into the design process , and elevates them to co - creators . Both deliver the so often required ‘ buy - ins ’ . Thus I will try to always resort to those two techniques , where applicable .

### Input: Example Reflection - Learning Launch
Challenge
In 2009 , the bank I work for , embarked on a major digital transformation program . A stream in that program , was dedicated to the re - design and digitisation of the ‘ Account Planning ’ approach and process in the bank . Complete reimagining of how the bank ’s relationship managers ( RMs ) plan for , and develop their client - relationships , in order to achieve their ambitious targets . I was appointed the project manager of that stream .
‘ Account Planning ’ ( AP ) is an annual process ( with quarterly / monthly follow - ups ) , during which the RMs are thinking , and planning rather strategically , about their assigned portfolio of clients . It is done via set of interactions b / w the RMs and , both , internal ( i.e. risk , compliance , product specialists , etc . ) , and external ( i.e. the clients themselves ) stakeholders . The purpose is to define set of targets , product offerings , client - interactions ( meetings , calls , events ) , for each client in the portfolio , with reviews throughout the year . Think of it as a client profiling and journaling at the same time ; turning insights into value .
The issue was , until 2009 , the entire process was done rather off - line , with the support of conventional tools - i.e. emails , frantic exchange of excel , power - point and doc files , kept in PC file - folders - and with no real structure . This kind of approach ( “ what - is ” ) had the inherent risk for client - insights to remain ‘ hidden ’ in the RMs ’ heads and archives ( at best ) with no accountability , or even worst - to be completely lost in case the RM has left the bank , or change position . This impedes building clients - intelligence on bank level .
In order to tackle this , the idea was to come up with completely redesigned , and more structured AP process flow . But even more importantly - develop ( in - house ) , from scratch , a new AP web - app , designed to reenforce the planning process ( “ what - if ” ) . The web - app was designed to keep all interactions standard , and all related files under the hood of a single application .
The main challenge - get the ‘ buy - in ’ from the RMs . Bank RMs are famous for their reluctance of using “ yet another ” bank application . They are also jealously guarding their clients ’ insights . On the other hand , the new AP approach + web - app had the attributes of a muscle - the more you use it , the better it gets . That is why it was absolutely crucial to design the web - app ’s UI / UX * to be as simple , intuitive and easy to use , as possible ( “ what - wows ” & “ what works ” ) , in order to get the RMs ’ buy - in .
Selection
In hindsight , having gone through the course now , I ’ve come to realise we have been using number of Design Thinking tools unknowingly . For example - Visualisation - during the initial stages of the AP approach / web - app re - design . Even , Storytelling - when we first presented the new approach / web - app to the RMs and the broader stakeholders . But perhaps most crucially , in order to get the said RMs ’ buy - in , we resorted to experimenting with the web - app - or what we called the ‘ Account Planning Prototype ’ . Similarly to the IBM story , we launched a “ Learning Launch ” in a selected market with number of RMs , in order to test the AP web - app ’s UI / UX * in a real environment , and see what works .
* User Interface / User Experience 1
Application
We ’ve asked our internal team of code - developers to create a prototype of the AP web - app , based on the initial designs . Then we ’ve selected and invited 40 relationship managers , from a certain market area , to participate in the ‘ Learning launch ’ . After a short presentation and training , we have given the 40 RMs access to the prototype . And invited them , in the course of two weeks , to complete the Account Planning process for all their clients in their portfolios , using solely the prototype app . In parallel , we have created also a web - based feedback form ( similar to surveymonkey ) , that was accessible directly through the prototype app . We used it to collect any feedback , suggestions , insights , comments from the RMs during the 2 weeks of testing / experimenting with the app .
The response was overwhelming . We have received hundreds of suggestions from the RMs : what they did and did n’t like , suggestions for improvements , what they ’d do differently , etc .
Insight
The response from the 40 RMs , during the testing / experimenting , helped us confirm some of the app design features . While others had to be changed or improved . This prototyping helped also our developers gather further insights for the next phase - from prototype to the industrialisation of the web - app .
I particularly liked the ‘ Learning launch ’ tool , because it brings the end - users ( the RMs ) directly into the design process . As in our case , the RMs were a direct participant in shaping the AP approach and web - app . And this was very important for me , as it ensured seemingly their ‘ buy - in ’ .
Approach
I ’ve come to realise , in such a project the ‘ Learning launch ’ ( or broadly experimenting/ prototyping ) in combination with ‘ Storytelling ’ tools can be a particularly powerful pair . The latter is used for telling a compelling story of why the changes to the approach were needed , and communicate , to all stakeholders , a common understanding of the ‘ bigger picture ’ . While the former brings the end - users ( i.e. RMs ) directly into the design process , and elevates them to co - creators . Both deliver the so often required ‘ buy - ins ’ . Thus I will try to always resort to those two techniques , where applicable .

Challenge & Selection I am the President of a student organization organizing events , workshop and real case projects for students . We just entered a new market with our organization . As we entered a new market , we do n’t much about our audience ( the students ) and our market ( who is our competition and what are they offering ) . The goal of our first year in this market is to have new offerings , and preferably something that is not being offered yet by our competitors . Thus , our main goal is to discover what students are looking for in activities of organizations and what their unarticulated needs are . Therefore , we used the Mind mapping tool . As we have been active in other cities , we have a lot of data about what students prefer and what the attendance was at each of these events . Mind mapping will allow us to look for patterns and insights in those data sets . We want to have something visual , engaging to discuss our possibilities . All of these insights can then be clustered together so we can sum up our findings and come up with new activities which will meet the student ’s unarticulated needs . Application We started this by structuring our data , per type of events / workshops / projects . We looked at our data and we created visual personas , to get an idea of who our typical ‘ customers ’ are and what their typical characteristics are . For example , one of the outcomes was that finance students preferred hands - on workshops where there was an opportunity to network with speakers and of course finance related keynote events . We had about 7 to 8 different personas which gave us a great insight in our audience . We then looked more at our data and we tried to visualize it and cluster it per different categories . We then tried to find correlations and tried to link those ( visually ) to get a better understanding of our data . We noted our findings on post - its and tried to cluster these . We all noted down our own findings separately so we would n’t be influenced by each other . Afterwards we discussed our findings and clustered them . Out of these personas and clustered insights we created some possible events & workshops and tried to link them with our findings and personas . This visual way of working gave us a great overview of all our possibilities we had in this new market . As this was visual and very clear it also gave us the opportunity to validate our ideas really quickly with our potential customers . This way of working , iterating between ideation and validation gave us a really strong idea about what could work best .
Insight & approach What I learned most is that making this visual is a very important aspect . Once you visualize it , it becomes much clearer and makes it easier to have a discussion about it . It also allows you to validate your ideas in the market . Working with lots of data makes it difficult to get insights out of it . Visualizing this data helps a lot in this . I think for this ideation phase working with the mind mapping tool is one of the best tools . As this is a very visual tool and allows you to be more creative and more engaging in the discussion .

Challenge & Selection
The tool I used from the Design Thinking course was Visualisation .
I ’m a Product Manager working in a large corporate environment developing digital communication solutions for small businesses . Many small businesses struggle in finding safe and secure ways to interact with their customers online especially when it comes to sending sensitive documents . The main problems they encounter include “ trust ” with current offerings and this is mainly around where their customer data is stored ( overseas or onshore ) , “ security ” in knowing that the person they are sending this data to is in fact that person and “ cost ” where physical channels used such as the current post system are expensive and present risk of lost items .
I was keen to utilise the visualisation tool when interviewing potential small businesses about the current problems they are facing when sending important communications to customers . I anticipated that this would assist me in digging deeper into their issues and problems but also in building rapport in a short space of time – an important element when trying to start and develop a conversation with a potential small business when we want them to become life - long customers of our business . I anticipated that being able to draw the flow of their day - to - day operations would enable us to “ visualise ” what their business looked like today and what it could look like tomorrow .
Application
I found that the initial meetings were very much an “ interview ” style where I would ask questions , they would respond , and I would take notes . This did n’t really bode very well for creating an atmosphere of inclusion and building rapport . Reviewing the material from Module 1 of the course , I thought about using visualisation as a way to build the interaction between me and the small business owner . Visualisation is an important part of the design thinking process and can be used through problem analysis , ideation , prototyping , and implementation and feedback sessions . It ’s important as it allows all parties to see the world in the same way ( as opposed to seeing the world differently when we use words only ) .
When applied effectively , the tool can enhance the process , but more importantly , induce a behavioural response in small business owners that allows them to be involved in the experience . A number of times , we sketched out the current way a small business owner would currently send really important documents to their customers and they could n’t believe the number of steps they went through to send those communications . We used pictures to convey this journey ( a printer to print the document , a person walking to a post office , a postman delivering the communication ) . And this was only the current state of play ! When we started to map out the desired journey or the “ What If ” journey , most of the small business owners would join me up at the whiteboard and draw the pictures themselves . I found this to be really engaging and there was an implied belief that we were both working to solve this problem together .
Insight
What I discovered was that visualisation , when used effectively , can be an amazing tool to see the world in a different way and to build rapport with potential customers . The nice thing about visualisation is that there are no boundaries to the process . I say this because it became quite apparent that although we were talking about secure communications , another five or six opportunities opened up which came from the small business owner drawing some pictures on a board ! I also believe that visualisation represents a freedom of expression for a lot of people who are not used to it . This really helped to build rapport and start a conversation with those customers – so much so that they are now our early adopters of our product and are happy to provide feedback when they feel like giving it .
Approach
Given that we are at the beginning of our process , the visualisation tool was the appropriate tool to use to gather insights around the “ What Is ” and “ What If ” processes . Other approaches we will use will be the mind - mapping approach in order for us to analyse the data we currently have and to determine patterns that we can work with to define the problem better and possibly start some ideation .

Mind Mapping
Challenge and Selection :
My challenge was to develop a new IT solution for my organization , the solution aim to aggregate all scattered services and combined them in one solution and simplify the underlying processes of these services . I and my team decided to use mind mapping as a tool to due to its capability in discovering common pattern and organizing the information which will be easier to be visualized and analyzed , using the mind mapping as tool will help us to identify all possible services that can be added to the system and the one that need to be grouped in on service to optimize the solution and to deliver the best service and user experience to our customers .
Application :
First , we started by collecting the required data about the current services to identify the current situation through holding several meetings with our stakeholders within the organization to identify what services they are providing and underlying process for these services and document all information .
After collecting massive amount of data , I met with my team and started consolidating and analyzing the all the information , throughout the analysis we used a white board and engaging team discussion to cluster and categorize the services based on the identified common patterns and characteristics between those service .
After categorizing the services , we evaluated each group of services then we eliminated the duplicated services , merged depended services and brainstormed new enhanced based on the discovered opportunities during the stakeholders ’ interview that will lead us to provide the high - quality services with simple and easy steps and achieve the maximum customer satisfaction .
Insights :
By applying the Mind Mapping tool , I and my team discovered many opportunities to increase our customer satisfaction and provide better services .
These opportunities were invisible in the beginning of the project , but after collecting the information and consolidating them using mind , we found that
smart teens : Company General Use
both our customers and the stakeholders would be engaged and satisfied by the new services and enhancement to the system . Additionally , the system services will be centralized and easier to maintained by our team .
Approach :
Given that our team is working with many stakeholders in the organization and managing several systems , our team needs to gain board insights in order deliver the appropriate solutions for the organization ’s stakeholders and customers . Our team has already gone through several design thinking activities / tools , mind mapping proven to provide us with the maximum results and insights due to the dynamic nature of our business .

Visualization or is any technique for creating images , diagrams , or animations to
communicate a message . Visualization through visual imagery has been an effective way to communicate both abstract and concrete ideas since the dawn of humanity . Visualization today has ever - expanding applications in science , education , engineering ( e.g. , product visualization ) , interactive multimedia , medicine , etc . Typical of a visualization application is the field of computer graphics . The invention of computer graphics may be the most important development in visualization since the invention of central perspective in the Renaissance period . The development of animation also helped advance visualization . The use of visualization to present information is not a new phenomenon . It has been used in maps , scientific drawings , and data plots for over a thousand years .
Product visualization involves visualization software technology for the viewing and manipulation of 3D models , technical drawing and other related documentation of manufactured components and large assemblies of products . It is a key part of product lifecycle management . Product visualization software typically provides high levels of photorealism so that a product can be viewed before it is actually manufactured . This supports functions ranging from design and styling to sales and marketing . Technical visualization is an important aspect of product development . Originally technical drawings were made by hand , but with the rise of advanced computer graphics the drawing board has been replaced by computer - aided design ( CAD ) . CAD - drawings and models have several advantages over hand - made drawings such as the possibility of 3 - D modeling , rapid prototyping , and simulation . 3D product visualization promises more interactive experiences for online shoppers , but also challenges retailers to overcome hurdles in the production of 3D content , as large - scale 3D content production can be extremely costly and time - consuming
Scientific visualization is the transformation , selection , or representation of data from simulations or experiments , with an implicit or explicit geometric structure , to allow the exploration , analysis , and understanding of the data . Scientific visualization focuses and emphasizes the representation of higher order data using primarily graphics and animation techniques . It is a very important part of visualization and maybe the first one , as the visualization of experiments and phenomena is as old as science itself . Traditional areas of scientific visualization are flow visualization , medical visualization , astrophysical
visualization , and chemical visualization . There are several different techniques to visualize scientific data , with isosurface reconstruction and direct volume rendering being the more common .
Information visualization concentrates on the use of computer - supported tools to explore large amount of abstract data . The term " information visualization " was originally coined by the User Interface Research Group at Xerox PARC and included Jock Mackinlay Practical application of information visualization in computer programs involves
selecting , transforming , and representing abstract data in a form that facilitates human interaction for exploration and understanding . Important aspects of information visualization are dynamics of visual representation and the interactivity . Strong techniques enable the user
to modify the visualization in real - time , thus affording unparalleled perception of patterns and structural relations in the abstract data in question .
The use of visual representations to transfer knowledge between at least two persons aims to improve the transfer of knowledge by using computer and non - computer - based visualization methods complementarily . Thus properly designed visualization is an important part of not only data analysis but knowledge transfer process , too . Knowledge transfer may be significantly improved using hybrid designs as it enhances information density but may decrease clarity as well . For example , visualization of 3D scalar field may be implemented using iso - surfaces for field distribution and textures for the gradient of the field . Examples of such visual formats are sketches , diagrams , images , objects , interactive visualizations , information visualization applications , and imaginary visualizations as in stories . While information visualization concentrates on the use of computer - supported tools to derive new insights , knowledge visualization focuses on transferring insights and creating
new knowledge in groups . Beyond the mere transfer of facts , knowledge visualization aims to further transfer insights , experiences , attitudes , values , expectations , perspectives , opinions ,
and predictions by using various complementary visualizations . See also : picture

Visualization is n’t something fluffy used by people who are n’t living in reality . It 's quite the opposite ; it 's used by a whole array of people who know how to use it to bring about positive outcomes in their life . Many athletes including Olympians use it to excel in their sports . The benefits of visualizing is also there for children ; research from Beijing Institute of Physical Education and University of Ottawa found that child table tennis players between the ages of 7 to 10 performed better when they used visualizations ( mental imagery ) .
Step 1 : Know what you want In order to visualize and manifest the kind of life you want , it 's very important to have a clear idea of what you want and why . This can be achieved by understanding what you value and what brings you the most joy in life . Have you ever had that moment when you were doing something and felt joyful doing it ? If yes , then that is a good sign of something you might want to have in your life .
Step 2 : Describe your vision in detail This is one of the most important steps . When you want to manifest the life you want , you have to create a clear vision of what it should look like . You can write this down in detail or you could create a vision board . This will help you to create a clear and full picture of what your life would look like .
Step 3 : Start visualizing and create the emotions Once you are ready , you can take a moment to start envisioning the actual outcome . Start to imagine the sights , the sounds , the smells and even the taste of achieving what you want . As you go along , do n't forget to feel the emotions you would feel , as if this " life " was your reality now .
Step 4 : Take daily actions There 's a saying that “ Rome was not built in a day . ” Similarly , the life you want to create wo n’t happen in one day but will eventuate in a series of days and actions of working towards your goal . Do n’t get too caught up with how far you are , instead focus on the present and set yourself daily or weekly actions to get to where you want .
Step 5 : Have grit and persevere When creating the life you want there , you will be faced with challenges . In fact one important tip when you are doing your visualizations is to imagine yourself facing these challenges and most importantly overcoming them .

Describe your challenge .
A few years ago , I was managing one of the largest frozen prepared meals brands in the United States . Our
media spend was in the double digits , but sales were softening , and appealing to new consumers was nearly
impossible . Several forces were colliding all at once , driving this downward trend . Consumers were growing
distrustful of large companies , and the definition of " healthy eating " was rapidly changing ; frozen was out ,
fresh /"homemade " was in , lengthy ingredient statements were out , short and simple was in , and so on . As
millennials grew up and the food network became their entertainment , meal expectations rose !
For a few years , the team believed that we did n't need to appeal to everyone and that our target market
( boomers ) was satisfied . What the team failed to realize was the " health " revolution was not a characteristic
of a younger segment , but a massive trend impacting all consumer segments at different rates . Based on this
fact and the lack of growth , the organization agreed to move forward on a project that would guide the
evolution of the brand positioning . Evolving a brand positioning has impacts on both marketing and product
strategies , and it was critical to secure senior enrollment in the project and throughout the process .
Describe the tool you selected .
I choose to focus on Mind Mapping because it is a tool that serves as the foundation of the What if phase of
design thinking . It is also my most favorite part of design thinking because I get to play detective with my
teams . " Mind Mapping is looking for patterns and insights in the large quantity of data you collected during
the exploration of What is . " Mind mapping bridges the What is and the What if stages by developing clear
design criteria statements that align with the problem or opportunity defined in What is . Because we are not
yet in concept development , it is critical to ask , if anything were possible , what criteria would the new design
meet . This keeps the team focused on the problem without constraints .
Describe how you applied the tool you selected to your challenge .
First and foremost , we created a large cross - functional team made up of many different functions , including
marketing , research , finance , sales , operations , purchasing , food scientists , R&D , and more . We divided the
teams into top , medium , and low participants . The top participants were group leaders , and most of their time
was dedicated to the project . The medium participants were on the team and met weekly with the group
leaders . The low participants were the broader group and served to help secure data , insights , and provide
critiques . Before the mind mapping , we organized and analyzed data into four key themes : market trends ,
consumer insights , competitive landscape , company orthodoxies . These four themes allowed the group to
form into four teams made up of top / medium / low participants . Each team ( i.e. , the market trends team , the
consumer insights team , the competitive landscape team , and the company orthodoxy team ) had to provide
the data or insight on a ppt slide , a post - it , a picture , etc . to be hung in a war room .
It was now time to start mind mapping ! The room looked like a modern art masterpiece , with pictures , words ,
quotes , collages , and lots of post - it covering the walls . Each team read their insights and added some color
around the data point before the team physically connected the data points . Each team had a chance to
connect the insights to one another and form clusters . Project managers took notes and pictures of the
various clusters , keeping tabs of the " lone " insights . The top and medium participants regrouped and
discussed all the themes that had emerged . Examples of themes included " nutritious but taste good , "
" comfort food and emotional eating , " " homemade vs. frozen , " etc . These teams reorganized to create insight
statements that would guide the criteria in the What if stage .
The tool was extremely useful in taking a lot of information and aligning with the most relevant themes . As the
team narrowed in size ( into marketing and research ) , it was easier to build insight statements . I believe the
key to the process was knowing when to expand and limit the participants . Most of the time , we did an
excellent job because we were aware of the design principles of collaboration . But there were a few moments
in the project that a smaller team of cross - functional members would have sufficed and prevented tangents .
Describe the insight you gained from applying the tool you selected to your challenge
I believe the most essential part of mind mapping is the discussion . I think some folks thought the project was
complete once the insights and data were grouped into themes . There is a lot to articulate behind an idea . It is
incredible how people can see one theme and interpret it differently than another individual . Discussing the
themes after they were formed helped to generate keywords needed to build strong insight statements .
These insights statements guide the design criteria . This criterion is essential to thinking about possible
solutions to the design challenge and the foundation of the What if ? phase .
Describe what you might do differently next time .
Mind mapping is an excellent tool to navigate through a lot of data and insights . It definitely takes a
commitment from many people in the organization , especially on a large - scale project like evolving the brand
positioning . The marketing team and market research team understood the process , but many other functions
quickly discussed solutions throughout the mind mapping process . This often - created moments of pause and
frustration . The next time I use this tool , I will use a storytelling technique to help cross - functional team
members understand the purpose and outcomes of this process . Every meeting started with an objective , but
it was often forgotten . I believe repeating the " yard sale " example at the start of every meeting ( and where we
are in the " yard sale " ) would have resonated with cross - functional team members not as familiar with design
thinking .

Our company provides outsourced fundamental company research to clients . Company research is based on fundamental analysis , which involves applying formulas to produce financial ratios . It is largely done by downloading annual financial statements from websites , and then reviewing the latest news online to ensure the latest statistics are captured .
The information is then entered into a myriad of spreadsheets , extrapolating point - in - time facts into a representation of the current state of the company . Based on external -and internal factors of what is the most likely future scenario , a value of the company is forecasted , which in turn is used to infer what the future prospect of the company holds for investors .
2 . Selection
I select the visualization tool , to map the research experience , as I needed to capture various dimensions and activities on one page . Apart from the discoveries we made in sourcing the information , storage and analysis of all the data , we had to collaborate with multiple /cross - functional teams from IT , domain experts and software developers to interpret the needs and requirements to provide a user centric and seamless client experience .
Ideation led us to visualize the workflow of each of cross functional teams by journey mapping the value chain , and where they face pain points in delivering the requirements to enable the creation of the fundamental research . This allowed us to get an end - to - end view of a potential solution architecture .
3 . Application
Visualizing the various components of the journey allowed us to understand all the frustration faced by client in trying to compile a list of companies to invest in . Our empathy enabled us to assess the current market and review numerous vendors of research services , looking for collaboration , or partnership models . However , in dissecting the client journey we were able to ascertain and anticipate what the needs are by understanding the problem holistically . This led us to leave behind trying to select an existing vendor and develop a bespoke solution to problem .
4 . Insight
Our solution had to cover not merely creating the research , but do so faster , with interactivity so that users could double click on , and update certain assumptions if they wanted to . They needed to use the research to enable tactical discussion , to improve business operations , but also elevate and stimulate the conversations for strategic scenario generation .
We therefore needed to created dynamic research platform to inspire the users .
5 . Approach
We created an experimental minimum viable product to encourage dialogue and refine the user experience further . We reiterated from version to version , experimenting not only with design layouts , but finding the insights that the users wanted from the fundamental company research . In hind sight , we could have created a gamification version of the research application to discover what , or how different clients may want to use dynamic research .

### Input: 1 . Challenge
Our company provides outsourced fundamental company research to clients . Company research is based on fundamental analysis , which involves applying formulas to produce financial ratios . It is largely done by downloading annual financial statements from websites , and then reviewing the latest news online to ensure the latest statistics are captured .
The information is then entered into a myriad of spreadsheets , extrapolating point - in - time facts into a representation of the current state of the company . Based on external -and internal factors of what is the most likely future scenario , a value of the company is forecasted , which in turn is used to infer what the future prospect of the company holds for investors .

Challenge :
Currently during a big project in my company and at a final stage close to the start of all implementations the management team asked to incorporate some additional solutions to the project which were not previously in scope . Basically these new solutions involved some additional legal & tax stuff that I had to make sure they understand before its implementation . It means I had to translate to them all legal & tax inplications to our new business model .
In short , I had to find a way to explain to them the solutions I found as well as its legal requirements so they could have an overall view about the problem , the solution , the changes in the project scope , the resources needed so on and so forth . The big challenge for me was to explain something very complex in a very simple and visual way so everybody could be at the same page .
Selection :
In that context I had to make sure I would be very effective in my presentation and communication skills . And also i realized the best way of doing it so it was through a very simple yet detailed presentation where I could adress the topics to them in a way they could see it , listen it and also understand it in depth .
I wanted to make sure that throughout the visualization of that topics they would be taken to its understanding . At that point I was not so sure aware of " visualization " as a tool of desing thinking concept , but it was clear for me the need of using images that could be easily translated into a visual thinking way of seing a problem , how to expose it and solve it .
Application and Insight
I made a presentation where I was able to explain in a simple roadmap : : ( 1 ) the problem(s ) ; ( 2 ) the chosen alternative(s ) to solve that problem(s ) ; ( 3 ) its legal requirements ; ( 4 ) and by when and by who it would be performed . So I was able to explain a very complex business model in one simple way where all the links could be easy seen by everyone in a way they could really understand where we were and we would have to go .
For sure I understood at that point the importance of the visualization of a problem and that I would needed to make sure everybody understood it as well , but now it is much clear for me that visualization is very important as the communication itself in way of desing thinking and solutions to all kind of problems from very simple to very complex ones .

Challenge : I work in an IT company and leading a team of 8 developers . Last month our team got a task to work upon an existing web application on retail banking where the existing development team has left already . We required to work on upgrading it ’s technical stack and review the existing application architecture with no proper documentation but very basic information provided . We have to finish this task in 2 months ’ time without affecting the running application .
Selection : At this same time I came across the course on Design thinking to solve problems without well - defined information given . I went through all the tools to relate with our current problem and found Mind Mapping as the most suitable one as it can help us start with a central piece and then branch out all related components in our code repository . And once we have this map available we can define our application architecture while identifying the probable technical solutions for individual components at the same time .
Application : So we started with the UI ( user interface ) flow of the application and started identifying various components and then recursively we created maps for individual components to relate associate technical modules . Ultimately we were able to map out our application into smaller modules and in turn the overall application architecture .
The next step was to work on tech stack having the architecture diagram and dependencies available . And now because of this success we are incorporating this mind mapping approach in our project delivery planning .
Insight : By applying mind mapping our team not only were able to generate the application architecture diagram but also able to see minute details about the system workflow , current technologies being used . Plus we were able to map application user experience with the backend algorithms . This helps us understand application dependencies and performance lagging because of those dependencies .
Approach : Mind mapping was the appropriate tool for our problem because it leads us to the solution in no time with revealing all the dependencies . Once the defined dataset was available we were able to think through new ideas on how to improve the technical stack and overall system performance . And as mentioned we are planning to use this same tool in our project delivery planning strategically .

Mind Mapping ( Module 3 )
Challenge : In the workplace our team was relatively new established to offer leadership consulting services to clients . As a team , we were still in the process of finding our core service offerings and trying to determine exactly what we wanted to be known for . Each of the team members had a slightly different vision of what they thought the core focus should be and each had slightly different priorities and goals . The team consisted of different divisions that were located in different geographical locations , meaning that they each served different clientele in different regions . The team needed to come together in order to offer one comprehensive representation of the services and offerings and to develop a clear and concise mission statement . Selection : To approach this challenge creatively , we decided to use a mind - mapping process . In design thinking , mind mapping is not just a map of your own thoughts , but rather is a visual representation of the thoughts of other team members and the thoughts of our end consumers . We had information and feedback from clients about their expectations and what they would like to see from our service offerings , along with the views and perceptions of each individual team member . At this stage , we had a lot of information and viewpoints and needed a tool that would help us to visualize these ideas and organize them into useful themes . For these reasons , we decided to use mind mapping to help use creatively visualize our information . Application : In applying the tool , we did follow a somewhat traditional mind mapping procedure . We started with a core idea , in this case , the expectations of our clients . Trying to think about the question , what services do our clients want from us . From this question we created a gallery . In the first round , we used sticky notes and were able to write down key words to discuss our thoughts , ideas and perceptions about what the clients wanted from us . Each team member had a few minutes to think about this individually and write their ideas privately on their own sticky notes . Before placing the sticky note on the wall , each team member briefly described to the group why they choose this word or concept . As the ideas were presented , they were clustered into key themes in the gallery by the moderator . The next step was to classify the client need that we wanted to solve and for this we used images . From a large selection of printed images each team member had time to individually select an image or multiple images that represented the customer need . Again , before placing the images in the gallery , each team member briefly explained their selected image and the moderator clustered the image .
After these stages , as a team we discussed what aspects of the gallery really resonated and tried to further cluster and identify themes in the information . Once we had identify some of the key themes , we split into smaller groups and were able to work on putting together a rough draft of a service offering description that included the key themes identified . Insight : Throughout the mind mapping process , it was really insightful and interesting to hear different perspectives from the different team members . It is often very easy to get stuck in your own idea and it becomes difficult to see the challenge from other perspectives . Often because of this , you actually lose sight of the customer perspective and begin developing a solution that does not meet the consumer ’s needs . The mind mapping tool allowed us to visualize the different ideas and perspectives from the different team members , but also visualize the challenge from the customer perspective . Feedback from clients was organized into our mind map and we were able to identify gaps in our teams ’ understandings and the expectations of the end client . The process really helped us to think about the challenge not only from our own perspective or the perspective of our close stakeholders , but also a much more diverse perspective . We were more open to hearing more ideas and giving the team the time to discuss and articulate their ideas was a good team building opportunity . Approach : In the future , I would likely still choose to use the mind mapping tool to approach this challenge , however , there are a few things that I would do differently when using the tool . The first thing is that I would allow for more individual brainstorming time . Most of the collaboration was done in a group setting and might have made younger staff feel intimidated to share their true thoughts and feelings . Each member vocally presented their own idea while adding it to the mind map board . I would have had the members all add the ideas to the map , without highlighting which idea came from who in the first stage . By following this approach , we may have gained more honest input from the team members .

There was a problem of stray cows wandering in the village destroying crops ready to be harvested both food grains and vegetables . These cattle were left loose by the owners after they have stopped giving milk or the owners could not afford to feed them . There was a need for creating a shelter for these cows before the next crop season which was four months away . The department of development was assigned this task and the deadline was given . The relevant data was collected . The number of stray cows was estimated to be 200 in the village with approximately half cows and half bulls . the bulls and the cows had to be kept separate as the former turns violent and harms the cows . They had to be protected from rain , cold and heat . They required fodder , water and adequate medical care . Their waste had to be frequently removed so as to keep the place hygiene . They require grazing area so that they can spread out and find food for themselves . In case of death , the bodies should be properly disposed off . Last but not the least the cow shelter had to be sustainable to serve cattle for generations to come .
SELECTION
I being the head of the department of development chose the VISUALISATION tool . I chose it for two reasons . The project needed time bound action and had to be completed within the deadline given . the second reason was that the staff had to bring in resources from different places an sources and this was a first project of its kind where they are working in a mission mode .
APPLICATION
I chose four stages of the development of a plant , viz seed stage , germination , flowering and fruit development for the visualization . Four stages were chosen as we had four months to complete the project . I drew a seed , a sapling , a flower and a fruit on the white board . And I named the four months as month of the seed , sapling , flower and fruit . I likened the seed to the preparation stage – collection of raw materials needed for the project , the sapling stage when the structure becomes visible on the land , the flowering stage when the shelter takes off and the fruit stage to make economies of scale and make the project sustainable in the long run . The first two stages were the most challenging and I reminded them the greater effort needed to be put in during the same . So the team was asked to think about the different requirements in each stage and four groups of four staff were made . They were then asked to post stick it notes below each stage on the board of their ideas and concepts . We got many common notes and we eliminated the repetition . There was a compilation and the staff was divided for each month with a specific set of activities to be done by them . The staffs were given a printed to do chart with the pictures on top . They were called for review after two weeks to track progress and do course correction wherever needed . The tool was helpful to some extent as it helped in effective brain storming and helped in activating the staff in the initial stage .
INSIGHT
I had this insight that the task was indeed challenging and tough and the staff was overworked and often bored with routine job . The project involved multiple stakeholders with complicated interlinkages and many other departments needed to be coordinated . So I wanted to create an environment to spur their
imagination , bring out their creativity , efficiency and a sense of ownership for successfully completing the same . I thought that one of the tools of design thinking may be tried .
APPROACH
This tool was good enough in this kind of project . But it failed to capture the relations between different stake holders . I might also try mind mapping next time .

And I named the four months as month of the seed , sapling , flower and fruit . I likened the seed to the preparation stage – collection of raw materials needed for the project , the sapling stage when the structure becomes visible on the land , the flowering stage when the shelter takes off and the fruit stage to make economies of scale and make the project sustainable in the long run . The first two stages were the most challenging and I reminded them the greater effort needed to be put in during the same . So the team was asked to think about the different requirements in each stage and four groups of four staff were made . They were then asked to post stick it notes below each stage on the board of their ideas and concepts . We got many common notes and we eliminated the repetition . There was a compilation and the staff was divided for each month with a specific set of activities to be done by them . The staffs were given a printed to do chart with the pictures on top . They were called for review after two weeks to track progress and do course correction wherever needed . The tool was helpful to some extent as it helped in effective brain storming and helped in activating the staff in the initial stage .
INSIGHT
I had this insight that the task was indeed challenging and tough and the staff was overworked and often bored with routine job . The project involved multiple stakeholders with complicated interlinkages and many other departments needed to be coordinated . So I wanted to create an environment to spur their
imagination , bring out their creativity , efficiency and a sense of ownership for successfully completing the same . I thought that one of the tools of design thinking may be tried .
APPROACH
This tool was good enough in this kind of project . But it failed to capture the relations between different stake holders . I might also try mind mapping next time .

Example Reflection – Learning Launch
Challenge
I am a team leader in my company which is a infotainment and news channel and run by upper house of Indian Parliament and in the company as i manage 30 people 's design team and in the department my challenge to improve the workflow of the different daily programme and weekly programme because some time all the team member engage to daily work which comes from the different shows producer and due to that work our weekly shows suffer a lot and we are not able to give required graphic on time and our management team point out this problem regularly because we have very short period of time for programming and we are not able to give quality in the graphics .
Selection
Our team has already gone through several design thinking tools which will help us to meet our requirements and help us to improve our work on time . We have to design some workflow with specific deadlines for each projects with the help of some tool and idea , the leaning launch is an experiment ment to quickly test an idea and prototype .
Application
This is our first tool and we focused on if we could structure our daily graphics our weekly programming graphics tasks to adapt the methods of scrum project management . As we have limited time period which is only one week so that we can see the output so we have design one tool where we have listed our both the
work flow ( Daily+Weekly ) and we tell people to put their graphic requirement there with the deadline so every requirement comes through this process tool even if people have any specific thing or suggestion than also you can point out there which will help us to understand the project because previously our team members spend lot of time to discuss even on simple or small project so this is the thing which help us to save our time so now we have some very interesting facts to resolve our issue and we find out that we have completed our 98 % work on time .
Insight & Approach
By this tool our team find out some really good output and solution which comes previously so now we have point out few things like .
1 . Now people engage with only one project in one time .
2 . Things are now taken by on their deadline
3 . Now people have their mindset to complete the project on time
4 . They have all the details about the project before they start work on it .

The HR Manager in our company recently received numerous complaints regarding the difficulties faced by the employees in collaborating with the HR department for their needs . This was mostly in terms of time and effort involved . She said some people were complaining to her that HR department took long time in getting the employees on onboard . She also mentioned that employees were confused as to whom to contact in terms of their HR related needs and the queries would be routed to her which she sometimes does n’t find time to reply to since she is busy with other important tasks . She mentioned that because of this , some of the employees were not happy in the company and this could affect their productivity adversely . She assigned the task to study these problems in the HR department and to come up with the insights .
Selection
I decided to proceed with design thinking concept since this task involved understanding of the customers ( employees in this case ) involved and I wanted to explore more and to reach an agreement . I tried to research on the “ What is ” situation . I listed the users who are facing the problem with the HR related services . I selected a few employees as sample . I got a list of employees in the HR department who handles the employee onboarding process and the ones who attend to other queries coming from the employees . Based on the details I had , I decided to go with mind mapping tool to understand the underlying problem and to gain better insight .
Mind mapping will also allow all the parties involved ( employees who are also customers in this case , HR professionals who are providers and any other party involved ) to think from their own perspective of the underlying problem . Adding the visualization concept to mind mapping would further add the possibility of arriving at the experiences that they have been going through in a better way . Furthermore , based on the example of “ The Good Kitchen ” story I felt that this would help me arrive at an effective design criteria .
Mind mapping process will assist in doing the research , identifying insights and coming with design criteria so that it will be an input to the “ What if ” stage . Mind mapping is looking for patterns and insights in a large quantity of data you collected during your exploration of what is the current reality
Application
A meeting was held with the employees ( customers of HR services ) and HR professionals(providers ) who was selected for studying this problem . At the onset , they were asked to come up with collages or any drawings that would best describe their current experience working with HR related services . Then I went in for the interviewing technique with the pinwheels ready so that I could utilize the benefits of visualization technique .
Pinwheel for getting more details of the current situation
Most of them had their collages with them ready with them , which facilitated in adding more value to the exercise . I interviewed them one by one to get more understanding into the problem . With the help of the pin wheel diagram provide to them , they were able to add their experiences into the petals of the pinwheel . I then asked them to rate their experiences from 1 to 5 based on the problem which they felt was most affecting them to the least . I managed to collect the filled pin wheels sheet from most of them .
After the interviewing exercise , we had a workshop and the team was grouped based on the departments they came from and provided with the sticky notes . The team members were asked to add the difficulties faced one by one on different sticky notes . Then the next team member was asked to add the difficulties one by one on different sticky notes . If they had similar problems they would add that as a point to the existing sticky note .
Then the mind - mapping tool was used in search of patterns and themes and to arrive at the insights
Insight
Based on the mind mapping process , some of the observation was that most of the employees had problem in getting the service received on time . Some of them did not know whom to contact in HR whenever they were in need of an HR related service . Some of them were not aware of the HR policies and procedures . Some mentioned that HR personnel lost the application forms which was in a printed format . From the HR professional ’s perspective , in some cases , they did not have much visibility once the request went into the IT department for further procedures . Some of the emails were not routed to them ; it resulted in not replying to the requests on time . Then a workshop was conducted and the team

members were asked to connect between the various observations as to why this was happening . The insights like 1 ) No centralized system to handle employee requests 2 ) Delay from other departments 3 ) Inefficiency in tracking of the employee requests 4 ) Manual process depended on paper printouts etc were arrived based on this exercise .
Approach
I believe the approaches used like interviewing , mind mapping , and visualization in stages of “ What is ” helped to achieve the insights I had sought . This I felt as a very effective approach . If I had not created the pinwheel visualization technique , I may not have received as many observations as I got when I used one . The pinwheel technique assisted in understanding the complex issues faster from the perspective of both employees and HR personnel . Similarly , the mind mapping process helped me connect the different ideas and come up with a list of insights with the consensus of everyone in the team . They understood each other and were able to trace what exactly caused the problem . Mind mapping improved learning , information recall , productivity , creativity , and more . The team also felt the need to find the solution to this problem collectively as a team . I believe various techniques / tools could be applied at various phases . For eg , for the “ what is ” phase , mind mapping could be used , for “ what if ” brain storming could be applied , for “ what works ” , testing or prototyping could be used and for “ what wows ” , Learning launch tool could be applied .

I believe the approaches used like interviewing , mind mapping , and visualization in stages of “ What is ” helped to achieve the insights I had sought . This I felt as a very effective approach . If I had not created the pinwheel visualization technique , I may not have received as many observations as I got when I used one . The pinwheel technique assisted in understanding the complex issues faster from the perspective of both employees and HR personnel . Similarly , the mind mapping process helped me connect the different ideas and come up with a list of insights with the consensus of everyone in the team . They understood each other and were able to trace what exactly caused the problem . Mind mapping improved learning , information recall , productivity , creativity , and more . The team also felt the need to find the solution to this problem collectively as a team . I believe various techniques / tools could be applied at various phases . For eg , for the “ what is ” phase , mind mapping could be used , for “ what if ” brain storming could be applied , for “ what works ” , testing or prototyping could be used and for “ what wows ” , Learning launch tool could be applied .

Challenge
Trying to discourage peers from engaging in dangerous or immoral activities can be cumbersome ,
considering they are all in the same age group and with relatively similar and limited experiences .
This is something that I have experienced in my place of work , which is an agency that helps
vulnerable populations . Young people are usually up to mischief because they continuously want
to experiment on things without considering the consequences . My colleagues and I are no
exception . Occasionally , we engage in challenging sporting activities and stage pranks on each
other . Getting to teenagers presents a challenge as one has to put themselves in the teen 's position
and present knowledge on known consequences in an empathic way .
Selection
Storytelling can be an exceedingly , powerful tool when dealing with peers or teenagers .
Considering all of us in my circle of friends are within the same age group , using stories learned
or acquired from older friends and relatives can be an effective way to communicate some
activities ' known repercussions to my peers . We should learn from past mistakes , and this is
something that I have learnt in my engagements with vulnerable populations .
Application
One of my friends felt left out by some of his newly acquired friends because they were doing
drugs . Jimmy was opting to try some because his friends were encouraging him to . The temptation
was substantially strong as all the friends in the group were using drugs . To help Jimmy , I had to
tell him how drugs had impacted my cousin 's life . He also began using drugs due to peer pressure
but ended up being hooked in no time .
Vision and Approach
Through my cousin 's story , Jimmy was touched and resorted to quit hanging out with his new
friends . Jimmy 's reaction made me think about how compelling stories can help someone make
informed decisions . If I get confronted by a similar case next time , I think I will still use the same
tool because it works . The tool has also worked in helping many people in vulnerable positions ,
most of whom I interact with in my line of duty .

Good Morning to One and All ,
So I have decided to write my reflection on Storytelling .
CHALLENGE
Storytelling can be used as a method to teach ethics , values and cultural norms to everyone . It is that one word which brings interest to everyone . I am a student doing my Bachelors in Commerce , as an individual I am a person who is very scared of speaking in front of huge gatherings but now as I have many challenges in my college where I should not only speak in front of everyone but also be bold enough to face it . In the beginning , that is when I was in my first year I was very scared and stammered a lot and was very anxious . It took me a lot of time to overcome this but I had to figure out something , that is when I came up with storytelling . I feel this one is different from the others . The word ‘ story ’ only gives people different kind of excitement . This type can be used by anyone , anywhere because you can talk to your elders telling them a story which would even involve them and make them feel that they have someone or even speak to your classmates by giving them an example and making them understand what I would like to say . This particular aspect “ Storytelling ” would make us stand apart from the others .
“ Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world and in action these days . ”
SELECTION
The reason I chose “ Storytelling ” from the other design thinking tools is because I feel that this would help any person and let them connect with the topic and understand the content which we would like to express without any conflicts and confusions . It would even help them involve and guide us if any changes are needed . The story that I heard from my professor about IBM was very nice and interesting and at the end while choosing my tool for reflection I did n’t have any second thoughts because this was apt for my way of learning and conveying things to others .
APPLICATION
So I have a story about using storytelling in my day to day life .
As I have mentioned before I am student and one particular day we had a seminar and everyone had to attend it . Every student from different streams attended it and it was a seminar about “ Cyber Crimes ” . As the seminar started everyone were interested to know about it and were listening to the speaker as it was general questionnaire session which everyone liked and everyone was involved in it . When the actual session begun everyone became restless especially the ARTS students as they felt that it was boring and it was not for them . The speaker continued and at the end as he felt that most of them were not concentrating and became restless . He asked few of us from the audience to come and explain all that he had spoken till then in a different manner so that everyone would understand what has been explained since then and no one would go away just like that without knowing the cause of being present there . So 2 or 3 girls were given a chance among which I was given a chance to speak so before going onto the stage I decided how to narrate my story .
I gave them an example of a movie which was related to cyber crimes and when only few people could relate to it . I gave a brief explanation of the story and then connected that to the topic and to all that the speaker had told us during that short span . That is when people had that smile and the room was so calm and
everyone was listening to it including teachers . So this was my way of applying storytelling in my daily life .
INSIGHTS AND APPROACH
The previous incident in my life not only gave me a little confidence to speak in crowds but also helped me apply the most effective designing tool – storytelling in my daily life . I also understood that design thinking helps us to solve a wide variety of problems . Everyone present in the room including the speaker has given me a loud applause and that feeling itself was so special . The speaker was so happy with the way I approached the other students and made it an interesting session . All the tools of design thinking are equally interesting and can be used everywhere for example in our corporate jobs , lectures and even while giving presentations as this will make it much more easy and interesting .
After that session my approach towards design thinking has changed and I will even use the other tools especially Mind Mapping and Visualization . As I feel that gives a different way of thinking about a problem . When we show our ideas in a Mind Map manner then everyone else ’s understanding towards the problem would be the same as mine and if any changes are needed will be made and this will make everything easy . In this competitive world using this would be the best way to exhibit our talents and achieve our goals .
I would like to thank my professor Jeanne Liedtka who changed my whole perspective towards design thinking . I learnt a lot from this course and would love to keep learning and implementing them in my daily life .

Challenge
I am working for a very large multinational bank . My team is responsible for managing customer facing digital financial products . One of our products is an Online AutoLoan origination application . Auto buying customers use this online application and to pre qualify themselves for auto loan they need to buy an automobile of their choice . Our team consists of Product team , IT Tech team , UX designers , Customer service Agents who own the application end to end .
The loan application pre - qualification is a 5 stage process in which we collect information from customers and allow them to submit a prequalification application .
Personal information ( First Name , LastName , Email , Date of Birth , SSN ) , Residential Information ( Residential Address , Address history ) , Employment Information ( Current Employer , Employment history ) , Income details ( Monthly , yearly household income , Expenses , assets ) . Finally , at the Application Submit stage customers can verify the information they entered and submit a loan application .
The challenge we are facing is the high dropout rate of customers who had begun the Loan application at the Personal information page at stage 1 but did not complete and submit the loan application at stage 5 . Drop out customers discontinue application filling in between stage 1 to final Stage 5 . We are not sure about the problems that are causing customers to drop out . We would find out these problems our customers facing which directly or indirectly attributing to the dropouts
Selection
Our team has already gone through several design thinking activities / tools . We emphatically gathered survey data from customers . After deeply reviewing and collectively brainstorming these customer reviews , we identified potential problem areas and end ends we can address and we also researched potential solutions while working with the process constraints . We are finally ready to try learning launches . We planned to quickly prototype user interface options of loan application and launch them to do AB test and multivariate testing
Application
For our First learning launch we made changes to our loan application user interface , instead of collecting the SSN of the customer on the first personal page we moved the SSN field on the last application submit page . Our hypothesis was customers are concerned about providing SSN . By moving the SSN field on the last page , customers will not need to make a decision until the last page and after filling all 5 pages customers would not like to waste their effort by abandoning application on the last stage . We also tagged each page with a UI tag so we can use web analytics to know on what pages customers are abandoning the process .
In our Second learning launch we simplified the application user interface . One of our hypotheses was the number of application dropouts might be due to ambiguous application questions so instead of asking users the annual salary we modify the application to include Per hr salary and number of hrs per week user work . This is mainly to include users who do n’t have a single permanent job for the entire year .
In addition we also conducted a few additional learning launches for simplifying 5 page applications to one page application with prefilling the userdata on the application if the user already applied .
Insight
By applying a learning launch tool we AB tested our hypothesis . Our first AB test results showed that the users would not like to provide SSN immediately at the start of the application due to overall concern with application and data security . By changing the SSN field from first page to last page there is an overall 20 % increase in application submission . The SSN shift allowed customers to enter data on 4 pages of the application ; they were able to notice the changes to ensure customers about the security of the data . Results reflected that these changes created some stickiness and users are not abandoning the process after they fill 4 pages worth even when the 4th page had an SSN field .
Our second learning launch results showed there are almost no changes on application drop outs due to User interface modifications to reduce the income accuracies . Our hypothesis about drop out rate relating to the complexity of the question seems to be incorrect . We noticed that reducing the length of application from 5 pages to single page application was a great success . We were able to record almost 30 % overall reduction in dropouts . Most users seem to prefer simple one page applications over longer ones . Results showed that users clearly like to prefill the application data instead of manually entering all fields .
Approach
After several learning launches we are able to accurately analyse most of our hypotheses . Learning launches results help to determine the best way to meet our customer needs and we made necessary changes to our online application and thereby reduce the application users dropouts . Using Learning launches we ran user interface testing in cycles and advanced our efforts for application drop out reduction . .

1 . Challenge & Selection
When I graduated in Civil Engineering , I created a company with my architect friend . At the
beginning , we used to make projects for our friends and relatives . However , we reached a
point that we could n't do more clients , even though we pay more advertising or look for
merchants in the street . So , I started to search for Design Thinking and its power to help people find solutions to their
problems . One of the Design Thinking tools is the Visualization . It uses images , histories ,
maps with an objective to transform ideas into something concrete and reachable . As the
company was going through financial problems , I scheduled a meeting with my partner to
find together solutions and I brought this tool to discuss . 2 . Application
To start , I explained how Visualization works and in this moment with my partner , was the
first time we began to map our customers ' profiles instead of judgments created by ourselves
or try to find our clients by merchants on the street . Using a blackboard we described each
persona of our clients , going from someone young to the case of someone more old . To
imagine each profile we searched on the internet like Instagram , to create a pattern for their
behavior . We started the questions before trying a solution , we thought not like we see the world , but
like how your clientes could see by their eyes . For that , in the blackboard I started to do
maps with particulars of each client ’s profiles and listing each one ’s characters . For example ,
how they live , how they pass their day - to - day and the most important was possible to
visualizate where was the wound of each one and how they see how relevant the civil
engineering services are . 3 . Insight & Approach
With this powerful tool we could finally see that our judgments of where we may find our
clients was totally wrong . Consequently , this mistake was affecting our sales . The
Visualization tool allows you to see the other side with empathy , so that you can realize
hipotesis before testing them . Of course , it ’s possible to improve the use of this tool in your context because we tried to
create personas based on unknown people . So was just supposed that probably wo n’t
always be correct . However , we are seeing results . For example , we are making more
projects and spending less in advertising . To improve the use of this tool , we are going to
deliver a form before starting a project , so we can try to understand each profile better and
we will give a feedback form to all clients after each project is finished .

Visualization tool allows you to see the other side with empathy , so that you can realize
hipotesis before testing them . Of course , it ’s possible to improve the use of this tool in your context because we tried to
create personas based on unknown people . So was just supposed that probably wo n’t
always be correct . However , we are seeing results . For example , we are making more
projects and spending less in advertising . To improve the use of this tool , we are going to
deliver a form before starting a project , so we can try to understand each profile better and
we will give a feedback form to all clients after each project is finished .

Challenge and 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 peers before attempting to identify and define possible solutions to the problem . I was introduced to a small sector firm who worked for social cause and also which was a startup with not much audience . I was given a task to find ways for our improvement and growth of our cause . I used the first tool i.e. visualization or visual thinking to find ways for the growth of our cause . It was expected of me to use graphs and data to explain everything verbally , but instead i chose to use visualization for this explanation . Visualization was easy and the most innovative step . With the help of data in a visualized manner the presenter can explain his thoughts more clearly . I used this method to draw my peer ’s attention to the scope , problems , boundaries , key elements , and relationship with the people and the areas of improvements . I used flow charts and abstract designs for my process .
Application
I first took 5 of my team members to conduct a survey by contacting the people for whom we were working . With the help of them we came to know what sought of marketing we were using and what we were doing through customers ’ point of view . We noted down those data and were prepared to the visualization step . We already had materials but i wanted them from a customer ’s point of view . We had plethora of data with us . So we started sorting of the data ’s which would be beneficial for us and divided them into groups . We did not threw the unwanted data as we did’t knew when that would have been beneficial for us . Then we made a flow chart of all our process . From gathering funds to delivering the products . This process was described in a flow charts with flaws described by a side arrow . Now we gathered our team members . We first explained them about this chart which was easily understood by them because of use of creative clips . Afterwards we gave them a pen and paper and told them to jot down there ideas which would be helpful for us . After this we discussed the points and then came to a conclusion of what steps we need to take so that we can get an inclined graph in our datebook . During discussion certain points were given which our team was not able to shed light on . This helped us to make a strategy and we were ready to implement it . When the strategy was implemented , we got good results but we expected more . Again we started to find the mistakes which we were doing and the process again started . We are increasing our family day by day , although not much big but yes our graph is going upwards every day .
Insight and Approach We have learned a lot from this exercise , that if we try to explain our ideas to our groups using visual creative and entertaining ways , it would yield us good results for sure . The graphic gives other to share their perspective as they are able to get to know what we are trying to say . They are able to gather much information of what we are trying to say and then able to share what they have in their mind . At that time , we did n’t knew that this process is said visualizing but after knowing it we would prefer it always . In this way we have covered the part of storytelling as well as visualizing .

Challenge and selection :
Visualization is the process of graphically representing information to be consumed by the
reader . It is the process of using preset tool to aid the information delivery process for readers . It
ensures that areas within the preview of the diagram is covered and not misunderstood or
overlooked , if it were to be described in a text heavy document . There are a number of
applications to the Visualization process and it is mainly the first step in helping a company in
their design thinking . Visualization can be applied to industries across platform be it a B2B
environment or a B2C environment , to aid in the setting up of an SKU , Business Development
Unit etc . It is a tool that brings together a holistic view from all stakeholders in order derive the
most optimal decision . It brings together a number of perspectives in order to ensure that one
group is appropriately benefited relative to another . For example , a problem of understanding
how a firm that works at fashion digital retail store can build consumer engagement , the use of a
fishbone diagram , it identifies key elements of resource , finance , labor , location and technology
and other factors that can lead to higher consumer engagement
Application :
A number of tools exist in order to perform the visualization process , one of the most common
tools are the Straw Man diagram and the fishbone diagram . Both these tools are used to ensure
that a holistic view is achieved and that the management can be objective on the information
provided .
The process begins by looking at the existing data and deriving the information into buckets or
groups based on similarities that the information dictates . The information here can be received
by internal research and external research in the form of reports , market analysis , employee
performance etc .
Alternatively the use of a flowchart which involves the use of shapes to depict information that
has been gathered and the use of teams to be able to group themselves to find patterns and build
the model . The use of teams is also to aid and foster the development of ideas , by various other
activities that involve idea generation after the visualization process . This would also generally
involve the developing of a questionnaire to set the participants within a frame of mind to
generate ideas .
These ideas are cumulated and then evaluated at the end of the session . For example , using the
fishbone diagram again , A fashion digital retail store can identify the location variable in the
fishbone diagram and build a means of using AR / VR technology so that a consumer can benefit
from the trial of clothing even before ordering the clothes
Insight and approach
The value generated by using this one technique has the ability to build problem awareness
among the participants , and build to the root cause of the issue . Focusing on various dimensions
within the visual tool can bring about focused attention to the problem at hand , and this focused
attention can lead to unique perspectives within the discussions that take place . But overall , it is
the communion of sharing and collaborating for the solution than an independent approach . In
the example here the strengths and weaknesses can be identified to estimate the response for the
stakeholders involved .

By Vero Reyes
Challenge One of the biggest challenges I face as a Project Manager in the technology industry is keeping my Clients on the same page as our internal development team , especially in the face of problems that need to be solved . It can be difficult to find the right balance between over- sharing and collaboration within the Client - Consultant relationship ; you do n’t want to “ cry wolf ” too early or often , but you also do n’t want your Clients to feel blindsided when a problem arises that they did n’t see coming . Specifically , I found when the need for an increase in budget ( e.g. Change Order ) would arise , many of my Clients did n’t understand where the need was coming from and it immediately created distrust that more budget was being requested without a clear understanding of how we got there . Upon further reflection , I realized that in an effort to present ourselves as Consultants who had a plan for solving every issue before our Clients were even aware the issue existed , that I was leaving them out of the entire process of collaboration and problem solving . Selection While there is a temptation as Consultants to only “ put our best foot forward ” in front of our Clients and shield them from an issue until we have a solution in mind , it became clear that this approach does n’t foster understanding – especially when the challenges result in the need for more funding . I realized we were n’t bringing our Clients along for the journey . With this in mind , I started thinking of ways we can better “ show and tell ” to Clients through the ups and downs on projects , while still maintaining a productive relationship . The power of storytelling is an excellent tool to help find this balance . As noted in the course videos , “ It ’s not about a to - do list ; it ’s about connection ” – and Storytelling is the vehicle for that connection . Application As a way of finding a practical way to start Storytelling with my Clients , I rolled out a project RAID ( Risks , Assumptions , Issues , Decisions ) Log and requested that we prioritize reviewing the list once a week with Clients . It was imperative that I did n’t just email this list , but instead we set aside time to “ story tell ” and talk through it front to end so there was both understanding and co - ownership of risks , assumptions , issues and decisions . This created open communication to take Clients on the journey with us for all the potential issues I was seeing on the horizon , but also proactively talk about potential solutions before issues became a reality . Within the RAID Log , we would link to reports and projections and use real - time data to help story tell where we were at and where we were going . In many ways , the seemingly simple review of this RAID Log provided the foundation for honest collaboration that allowed us to evaluate the hard data I was seeing and align that to risks and mitigation plans . Secondly , as also noted in the training course , true Storytelling can only happen when a clear sequence of events can be followed from beginning to end . With this in mind , we also started
including our Clients in our Sprint Planning meetings in which we created Stories and spread those Stories into Sprints so the Client could visually see what the path forward looked like . This was imperative to our Storytelling because it allowed the Client to be a part of the planning process , but also identify risks with us as we were planning together . Previously , we had conducted these meetings internally . Conducting these meetings with our Clients allowed them to see how tasks / bugs were laying out across Sprints , how the timeline and budget were panning out , and ultimately gave us the chance to tell a story of how we saw this working or not working – and then it gave our Clients the change to become a part of that story early on by providing us with input and seeing what we were seeing from the get - go . Finally , if and when an increase in budget or timeline extension was needed , we leaned again on the data we were gathering from the plan we created . We could calculate Sprint velocity to help us project whether or not we were going to meet our target . Giving the Client live access to these reports ensured they always knew where the project was headed . Insight & Approach Once I instituted this new approach of transparent “ Storytelling ” with my Clients , and we came to a point where we needed to extend our project timeline to accommodate some issues we had encountered , my Clients were much more open to it than they had in the past . In fact , there was one Client who pointed out the need for a scope extension to me before I even approached them on the issue because they had been a part of the Story and following along with us from the beginning through the use of the RAID Log , ongoing Sprint Planning every 2 weeks , and live reporting . Through the power of Storytelling , the conversation with our Clients shifted from feeling like a timeline / budget extension was “ happening to them ” to them proactively managing risks and issues with us , and ultimately allowing the conversation to focus on solutions and options . Ultimately , the level of engagement , passion , and collaboration went up despite challenges because both Clients and Consultants were on the same page of the Story and aware of how we arrived at both problem and solution .

Challenge & Selection
I had to prepare a presentation for a diverse group of stakeholders regarding a commercial project I was overseeing . I had to show them the problems and obstacles we were facing and highlight the possible solutions . What I needed most from them was to understand their opinions and the tensions between the different parties .
For such task , Storytelling was a natural choice . A good story was what I needed to show the pros and cons to the audience , and work together to find a solution . This technique allowed me to craft a compelling and robust story focusing on the audience , on the key points and messages , and build a greater connection between stakeholders and the issue at hand . I used this approach in the past with colleagues , customers and other groups of people . I am used at presenting a variety of topics in front of people since university . In this case , working as a consultant , I had to present to corporate executives and other professionals for a project focused on applying technology innovations to modernize their business . I had to find the most compelling way to deliver the key messages and then let them discuss and find a solution .
Application
First of all , I studied the audience and tailored content and format to them . I had to be concise , precise and clear , without being too academic nor superficial . I had clear in my mind what the objectives of the meeting were and what we all needed to know .
Then , I set up a clear sequence of events , from the beginning to the end of the story . It had to be consistent and logically robust . I also planned some moments of reflection and discussion to engage with the audience and build hype . I made sure all the chapters of the story had their right span of time and that all the parties involved had a voice in the discussions . Technology was an enabler since the presentation had to be carried virtually , due to COVID situation .
Insight & Approach
The greatest insight I learned is that how you plan , structure and then deliver a story makes a great difference . A compelling message presented in the most suited way connect people with the topic , and unites them . People feel engaged and act on this shared purpose to find solutions , to change the environment in which they live . An interesting aspect of storytelling is that it forces you to emphasize with others ’ perspectives and learn from their experiences .
I discovered that two aspects are particularly relevant for a successful story : the understanding of audience ’s background and their span of attention . For this reason , next time I will spend more time investigating the background and experiences of people involved and I will use engaging techniques and tools to drive their engagement .

Challenge & Selection
As a student , the first tool I used was a Mind Mapping tool , taught by our teacher . We used Mind Mapping tool to find a pattern , hidden information and access thought process to easily write up a paragraph or an essay . I often used this as a logical and thorough approach to make the essay widened and understandable .
Mind Mapping is a visual diagram that maps the information using branches and sub - branches .
Application
We can create a Mind Mapping tool simply by taking a page and a pen . Simply write the main topic in the middle of the page and start writing the main related information using arrows pointing towards the middle .
I used Mind Mapping on multiple occasions when I was confused about the topic . During exams , it crucially helped .
Insight & Approach
This experiment came with help for the thought process . We can easily make up the relevant information regarding the main topic . We can broaden our minds using a Mind Mapping tool . It can help our thought process .
For me , Mind Mapping is the best approach in design thinking .

Project : Promoting girl child education in rural areas
Challenge : Storytelling is a great tool that I use in suitable situations of design thinking . I ’m a member of a missionary organization and along with my mission - mates , I work in a specific area which involves promotion of girl child education in the rural areas . Despite many government schemes like free enrolment , mid - day meal etc , most of the schools in rural area see not many girls attending the school . In the underdeveloped villages , girl children are perceived merely as homemakers in their adulthoods . Hence girls are not sent to school from their childhood by their parents . The parents think instead of education , their girl child should learn various activities like cooking , house cleaning , knitting clothes etc . The biggest challenge is how to change mind - set and perception about girl child . Selection : During my interaction with the villagers , I understood they work sunrise to sunset to earn their daily wages . Their kids also involved in many activities with their parent . Occasionally whole family watch movies in television and hardly they do interaction with people . They have limited knowledge and information about the whole country and the world . I realised storytelling is the best tool in this situations so that I can narrate stories of great women in the country and the world and inspire them to dream big about their girl child . I spent a lot of time with many parents individually and in a group . Application : As a part of missionary work , I connected with many parents having girl child . During the storytelling , I gave many examples of great women in the world . As they like religious stories , I started with mythology and highlighted great women characters . I talked about great women in various fields like politics , sports , science , industry . I picked names like Marie Curie , the first woman to win Nobel Prize ; Mother Teresa ; JK Rowling ; Malala Yousafzai ; Kalpana Chawla and many more . I was trying to explain them how these women grown up and created impact in the world . I was also explaining that many times great women personalities were born in ordinary families but good education and training helped them to flourish in their lives . Insight : During storytelling I could see sparks in their eyes . They were asking many questions and wanted to know more about the childhood days of these great women personalities . They understood they had a wrong perception that girls can be only homemaker . Clearly it was time for me to open up stories from my family . I explained how my wife came from an ordinary family and become an executive in a reputed company . This worked really well . All these parents promised to send their kids to school and promised that they will send their little babies to school and support them to grow whatever they want .
Approach : Based on the circumstances I believe storytelling has really worked in this project . I could see big impact . Now most of the parents are pushing their girl child to go to nearby school . They are making more communication with other parents and discussing the future of these young buds . I simply believe sometimes a little story can do a lot of good . I shared this story with other missionary agencies and suggested them to apply in their respected areas . I think it had a big impact on people there . Though storytelling has worked in this case , in future I ’d like to combine storytelling along with visualization tool as narratives paired with visuals are one of the most effective tools for communication so that it can have much more impact .

Challenge
I have recently graduated from school . I am a commerce student and thus had to study subjects like economics , business studies and accountancy . I am very poor at remembering and so I used to suffer while studying theory subjects . Business studies is purely a theory subject . Remembering and relating various procedures and steps that we had to study in our course was a task for me .
Selection
Mind Mapping is a useful technique that supports learning , improves information recording , shows how different facts and ideas are related , and enhances creative problem solving . It makes information easier to remember , as it 's held in a format that our minds find easy to recall and quick to review . It is a quicker method to retain information for longer .
Application
Since understanding , relating and memorising concept in business studies was very tough for me I adapted the “ mind mapping technique ” . This technique helped me summarise the whole chapter into one page and also helped to understand the concepts in a better way . This practice also helped me retain the information for longer .
Insight
Since I was able to summarise the chapter into one page , it made revision easy before exams . I performed better in exams because of this tool . Using Mind Maps can help to bypass the usual panic instinct of the brain when confronted with a problem to solve . Instead of ‘ forcing ’ my mind to come up with a solution , which can result in stress , Mind Mapping opens up possibilities and calms me .
Approach
When I Mind Map for problem solving , I instantly gain more clarity , so I can find answers more easily . I am able to view the problem as a positive challenge and an opportunity to show off my creative skills . I found this technique very useful and intend to make full utilisation of it in the future challenges that I face .

1 . Challenge
I work in a professional service Company and my mission is to improve the demand generation and selling process within the company itself . Improving this process means improving the number of leads generated from each action and eventually improve the global success rate of the process ( number of closed contracts ) .
2 . Selection
As a first step , I began thinking what is the best tool to understand the whole process , demand generation is a kind of sequential process with data flowing between several actors . I thought that the best tool was to draw data flow information diagram in which all the actors are represented . I think it is the best way to understand the problem we are facing and a very good and interactive way to add new steps or variants to flow . One diagram is faster to make compared to a wordy document that nobody will read . At the end , once diagram is finished , people from the different areas can easily understand the flow and find possible way to improve it . Every time we try to explain the diagram to different people can cause many different points of view about the problem . Involving all the different actors in the process and drawing a complete vision from all of them , one problem , different points of view , different opinions , and different pains , to achieve common solutions . This is the first step to carry out before attempting to identify and define possible solutions to the problem . If this tool is used correctly it can be used in the subsequents stages ( What - If , What - Wows , and What- Works ) as a starting point .
3 . Application
I start the process studying the existing material and trying to understand the demand generation and sale process I use existing material to develop the process the existing material are procedural documents , training materials and marketing materials . I include also some statistics about the demand generation process : Number of actions , leads generated , opportunities , closed contract . All this information is available in the company . Once the diagram is ready I copy the picture on my iPAD so it can be easily stored projected and transmitted For the activity , I took some people involved in the selling process each representing a role in the lead management process .
Each member receives a copy of the initial process diagram and all of them will see the diagram projected to the wall , so they can interactively draw on directly using my IPad , or use post it notes to make comments . I give them three - four questions to answer , such as :
Is the lead generation and selling process represented correctly ? What would you change about the diagram to make it more representative ?
What are the key relationships that between people and areas that drive the process ?
What other problems are you facing while trying to map the selling process to this diagram ?
I give them some minutes to discuss the questions and mark up the diagram . After the whole interviews are finished I can make a resume of all different meeting and create a common view .
4 . Insight
Using this exercise meeting people are guided to reflect into the process that are following every day and it will help them on understanding of the problem they are working to solve . During this meeting there is a mix of mutual learning process :
- I will get a deeper understanding of the process
- They organize their mindset on the demand generation process
This mix of mutual learning process is called as shared insights and shared learning . The global vision of the different diagram layers gives the diverse group of involved people a focal point for discussion that allows them to share their point of view and this is the first step in detecting potential root causes of their problems . Stakeholder involved in the leading process every day now they can see the process itself from a different point of view and get new perspective : they focus and actively participating in the idea . They can quickly identify where they are in the diagram – or if they are missing and if they are missing something .
5 . Approach
I will always prefer a visualization tool in the future to begin a DT process :
1 . It is very fast and direct . 2 . The diagram helps to identify the whole process in detail 3 . It is a perfect starting point and will be the common base for the next steps .
After saying that I must point out that there are a lot of visualization tools that can be chosen : straw man graphic , flow chart like diagram , information flow diagram , etc . There is no perfect diagram for representing any kind process , depending on the kind of challenge and process to analyze I would choose one type of diagram rather than other .

In my department I am working with special need and over 65 years old . I choose to storytelling because storytelling is a human activity for sharing experiences and values and it was as mentioned in the video was always been in the business world . I wanted to use storytelling to find our special need and our elderly population needs . What I liked about storytelling it generates lots of questions . When we use storytelling techniques we can find the solution quicker than trying to implement different services and policies for a long time . Since storytelling generates lots of questioning we can dive deep down and find the solution quickly .
Application
To serve better to our special need over 65 years old customers I suggested to my team to use individual approach rather than the “ one fit all ” approach . When I interviewed with different special need people , I saw that everyone has a unique need even in that sub groups . As a company we are thinking that when we have one special package we are serving customers ; however , the interviews were eye opener for me and my colleagues too .
As I mentioned before I have blind customer , as well as deaf and mentally challenged other than the elderly population . Having a standard package for disabled people wo n’t help individual customer needs . I would like to share one of the interview I did with a blind customer . When I ask more and more question to my blind customer , he told me that how difficult for him to remember every detail in his contract after a certain time .
Another story is coming from an elderly customer . Elderly customers are used to go the stores and ask their questions and get help from a person . However , because of the Covid-19 elderly people had a curfew and they could not go to stores . Then we realized that many of them get frustrated very easily and want to give up their packages . Without the interviews we did not know they need more face to face time . After the interview we offer them more face to face applications such as Zoom , Skype , and Web Ex . One of my elderly customer felt so happy to see someone face to face , all her anxiety went away and she was able to solve her problem without getting frustrated .
Insight & Approach
I think hearing different story from my customers my company realized it individual packages are important for our customer satisfaction as well as the company ’s uniqueness . For instance , for blind customers we need Barilla application or contract , but for elderly population we need more face to face time instead of just answering their questions on the phone .
Design thinking showed me how to empathize with customer , challenge assumption and create new ideas . It showed me we can be creative in the work place other than doing power point slides and presentations .
Since story telling taught me to challenge my assumptions and create new ideas I would expand my repertoire and take different roles in the company in order to apply design thinking in other areas .

Challenge & Selection the primary tool I take advantage of was the tool of Visualization , or Visual Thinking , to realize a shared understanding of a drag area among a various cluster of stakeholders before making an attempt to spot and outline attainable solutions to the problem . I use this approach typically with our customers , who are government agencies operating to use technology innovations to modernize their mission or the delivery of their services to their customer , which can be U.S. citizens , businesses , and non - citizens . I even have used the technique of employing a straw man visualisation of a problem domain with a group of queries or prompts for discussion to permit a various group of stakeholders to find out from one another within the process of shaping the scope , boundaries , key parts , and relationships between elements to contemplate once distinguishing pain points and opportunities for enhancements or solutions . Application I begin the method by making a straw man graphic of the matter domain . To develop the straw man graphic , I 'll draw from any existing material obtainable to grasp the environment . the present material could also be operational or procedural documents , coaching materials , selling materials , government agency or alternative auditing reports . If materials are n't available , then I conduct informal interviews with one - three of the stakeholders who function my details of contact on the initiative . If acceptable to the situation , I 'll borrow the conception to “ front - stage / back - stage ” from previous research , and mentioned in David Gray ’s book , “ The Connected Company ” . The front - stage / back - stage approach helps to bolster the notion that each service – even an enclosed service – has customers with whom the service supplier interacts and internal processes that change the organization to produce the service . The templet I typically begin with conjointly features a column on the left to spot Partners and worth Chain suppliers and a column on the proper to identify Oversight Organizations , resembling Congress , GAO , labour unions , support groups , and alternative entities that will add constraints to however the organization operates . The straw man graphic is easy , victimization simple shapes and icons obtainable in Visio or on the Internet . If the front - stage / back - stage read does n’t work , then i 'll produce a unique kind of visual , either supported a high - level method flow with swim lanes for various stakeholders , or another format . For the activity , I 'll divide the stakeholders into teams of 5 - 6 participants every representing a unique organization or space of interest . every cluster receives a poster - size copy of the straw man graphic that they will compose directly , or use sticky notes to form comments . I provide them two - three inquiries to answer , such as : 1 ) What key parts are missing from the graphic ? 2 ) What would you modify about the graphic to make it additional accurately mirror your downside space ? 3 ) What key insights does one have regarding the relationships between the entities in your downside space ? I provide them or so twenty minutes to debate the queries Associate in Nursing price the graphic . Then I even have each cluster return on their answers to those 3 questions whereas inform to the mark - ups on their poster . As each group reports out , I record commonalities within the insights of every group , so additional insights
that return from the give - and - take on an extra copy of the graphic . when the session , I alter each group ’s poster as an artifact , create a read that mixes the shared and new insights from the cluster discussion , so produce a revised graphic that includes their feedback and planned changes that they united to as a group . Insight & Approach What I even have learned from conducting this exercise with many teams is that whereas the graphic – particularly the revised graphic that incorporates their feedback – is very important for reinforcing their understanding of the matter they 're operating to solve , the additional valuable side of the activity is that the shared insights and shared learning that happens whereas they 're operating to outline their downside space . The graphic offers the varied cluster of stakeholders a pay attention for discussion that enables them to share their views and develop insights into potential root causes of their problems . whereas they might produce the graphic from a blank slate during a cooperative manner , beginning with a straw man jump starts the speech communication for them . they will quickly establish wherever they are within the graphic – or if they are missing – and might additional quickly gain new insights regarding relationships between key entities rather than taking time to spot them . they will conjointly identify variables within the downside area – that is , it helps them to identify what they do n’t know , in what areas they have to get info or knowledge to produce the values for the variables .

Challenge & Selection
Nowadays we are living the next industrial and workplace revolution , called Digital Transformation . In the company I work for , we need to develop new solutions for our clients , based on the new opportunities technology is providing us . Once the solutions have been built , we need to bring them to our clients , providing them with a commercial envelope that drag attention from our potential customers . The challenge here is that we need to build a speech to reach our clients with two different approaches :
1 . We need to build something easy to understand and engaging , so that our possible customers are interested in us in seconds
2 . We need to build something that let us have a full presentation to our interested customers , showing the most important capabilities of the solutions and receiving the request for a proposal
In the actual world we need to take into account that the face to face communication channel is not the only one we can use to engage our clients .
Selection
We decided to use Storytelling as the way to develop our speech , because we found it to be more engaging that other solutions we looked at . We also looked for a new concept , Storytelling transmedia , which allowed us to tell our story through different elements that we could use in the channels available today .
Application
We created our main story based on the information gathered from our potential clients and the market , to develop a script that shows the client ’s actual problems and how will their life change once they applied our solutions to the places they fit . Once we had the script written we decided how to split it into different parts that allows us to tell the story using different media : Videos , interactive games , podcasts , written articles , infographics … and look for reutilization in different contexts and clients and identify which of them needed to have different versions for our clients that range from great banks to small government administrations . We also decided to build an Elevator Pitch to engage customers at the different events we are participating at , because in many of those events our commercials are able to handle many short term conversations . We also used the Elevator Pitch to create short messages for the channels best suited for this kind of promotion , like tweeter . Also , the feedback
received through those channels was used to improve the Elevator Pitch itself and to help us create new messages associated to our story . Once we had the script of our engagement story we built the Elevator Pitch , 5 tweeter messages and a video demo , and sent them to the market , to see how well they perform and learn about the experience before producing new content in different formats .
Insight
This story has a happy ending … partially . Our work done using storytelling provided us with powerful selling tools , but we failed in one thing : In the development of our solutions we did not a lot of observation on our customers … so the base of our solutions was not enough focused on our possible customer needs , reason why we are not earning as expected .
Approach
The approach of using Storytelling Transmedia is correct and something we are using in developing not only our commercial offers , but also to develop new products . The main change we are doing whenever we use it , is to invest more time and effort in knowing what the market is expecting and provide a good story to build it and sell it !

Challenge : I work for a large , privately held software company in the Business Intelligence and Analytics field that was started by a small group of engineers in the 70s . The culture is stagnate in that they are so heavily focused on features and functions that they tend to overlook how customers can feel lost when faced with the challenge of implementing .
Teaching a design thinking process to our customers , one that would help them better identify who they needed to build for and what would best fit the requirements , was to me the next best step we could take in our own process of innovation . Countless times I ’ve been called onto projects where the user acceptance rate was abysmal , only to find out that no one was doing this kind of work before spending months building applications .
Tool Selection : Mind Mapping from Week 3 : Idea Generation - I chose this method of idea generation because of it ’s physical nature , and for how it gets a team to think independently at first , and then together to talk through the ideas . I ’ve participated in this type of exercise at a few UX conferences I ’ve attended , such as O’Reilly , and found that as part of a larger training series , doing this using sticky notes , markers , notepads , and other visual aids , a team can move from the UX research phase of interviews , to presentable wireframes for customer review in very little time .
Application : We have user groups across the world , and the New York City group provided us an opportunity for our “ Learning Launch ” . I lecture on the subject of UX & Design Thinking at our annual Summits and via WebEx , and the response is always positive and encouraging - our customers want to learn this . After the last Summit earlier this year , the Customer Support division approached me about doing my presentation to our User Groups across the US . I countered with a suggestion to do an actual workshop in NYC , rather than just another lecture .
Because of long standing tradition ( stagnation ) in our company , the managers feel that customers only want to come in and learn new things about the product , and were reluctant to try my idea of teaching skills that are software independent , focusing more on the who , what , why . But they gave in with a few course tweaks that made them feel more comfortable , and I insisted that our invitation wording clearly signify that we would not be using computers . I trained workshop facilitators prior to the event by running them through a warm - up exercise and giving them instructions on what to look for and how to keep a team moving through the timed sessions . One was assigned to each team .
For a full day , with four teams of five participants , we worked through challenges that ranged from interviews to wireframe design , with the mind mapping exercises being the most involved . Because this is a team approach to design thinking , the challenges were printed and taped on the wall where each individual in a team would then write his or her ideas / suggestions / thoughts on sticky notes and put those on the wall in the appropriate space in the diverge phase , then they would all work through the converge phase together , focusing the notes into blocks of ideas that formed the nodes of the mind map .
All participants were fully engaged and enjoyed this new way of thinking through their application design and development challenges . All left saying they would take this back to their companies , and would be interested to learn more in the future .
Insight : You can teach an old dog new tricks . As much as I know the value that this training provides our customers , the value we are now gaining internally is just as important to me .
For our customers , they now have a new way of handling the requirements that come to them in a more powerful and meaningful way . They can now identify the priorities from the Business stakeholder , conduct a UX research phase with users , and use mind mapping sessions in a cross - functional team to provide solid solutions to their users .
And for us , companies of our age and size are very slow to make changes , especially ones that are somewhat outside their comfort zone . By having VPs and other upper level managers involved , or just stopping by to watch for a few minutes , I ’m seeing momentum begin to build , and increased interest being generated . The fear that customers would n’t understand this is fading and in it ’s place is an optimism that we can do “ different ” things to partner with our customers more effectively . As a caveat , I ’m now being asked to do this with our product teams .
Approach : One of the concessions I had to make to my program and schedule , was to allow two others from our company to do presentations - one during the morning session and one in the afternoon . If Customer Services insists that these be a part of every training , I want to move them both to the end of the day . I did n’t see any value in these sessions and to me , they just watered down the effect of the training . They slowed down the pace and most people were not paying attention .
Having this day be focused on the experiential training , and doing several other types of exercises , will be more beneficial to our customers , and ultimately to us .

### Input: Reflection On - Mind Mapping
Challenge : I work for a large , privately held software company in the Business Intelligence and Analytics field that was started by a small group of engineers in the 70s . The culture is stagnate in that they are so heavily focused on features and functions that they tend to overlook how customers can feel lost when faced with the challenge of implementing .
Teaching a design thinking process to our customers , one that would help them better identify who they needed to build for and what would best fit the requirements , was to me the next best step we could take in our own process of innovation . Countless times I ’ve been called onto projects where the user acceptance rate was abysmal , only to find out that no one was doing this kind of work before spending months building applications .
Tool Selection : Mind Mapping from Week 3 : Idea Generation - I chose this method of idea generation because of it ’s physical nature , and for how it gets a team to think independently at first , and then together to talk through the ideas . I ’ve participated in this type of exercise at a few UX conferences I ’ve attended , such as O’Reilly , and found that as part of a larger training series , doing this using sticky notes , markers , notepads , and other visual aids , a team can move from the UX research phase of interviews , to presentable wireframes for customer review in very little time .
Application : We have user groups across the world , and the New York City group provided us an opportunity for our “ Learning Launch ” . I lecture on the subject of UX & Design Thinking at our annual Summits and via WebEx , and the response is always positive and encouraging - our customers want to learn this . After the last Summit earlier this year , the Customer Support division approached me about doing my presentation to our User Groups across the US . I countered with a suggestion to do an actual workshop in NYC , rather than just another lecture .
Because of long standing tradition ( stagnation ) in our company , the managers feel that customers only want to come in and learn new things about the product , and were reluctant to try my idea of teaching skills that are software independent , focusing more on the who , what , why . But they gave in with a few course tweaks that made them feel more comfortable , and I insisted that our invitation wording clearly signify that we would not be using computers . I trained workshop facilitators prior to the event by running them through a warm - up exercise and giving them instructions on what to look for and how to keep a team moving through the timed sessions . One was assigned to each team .

Challenge
I work on projects that involve branded content . This content is disseminated in the form of articles , blogs , videos , webinars and so on . There are currently multiple workflows that have different kinds of processes for different projects . Since the same team needs to juggle these tasks and projects , it is a challenging exercise . My challenge was to find and improve the workflow in our team to accelerate the time taken to deliver the projects . Each project normally has a long drawn out work period between 30 days to 6 months . By addressing gaps , we wanted to be able to uncover what is ineffective in our current workflow .
Selection
In order to make sure we are able to address any issues , we employed the visualization tool – the objective was to draw out the multiple processes that are currently in place . By using this tool , we want to be able to identify gaps in design process and see whether there is any scope for improving the current workflow . Is there a way to cut down on the time of delivery by skipping a few steps , or can we drastically reduce the time for some of them ? Is the current process too cumbersome ?
Application
As part of the visualization process , it was great to put together the multiple processes we have in place in the form of flow charts , once we started doing this , we started identifying patterns , and that ’s when the gaps started to emerge .
As a team , we were involved in drawing flowcharts right from when a project is sold to till the time the project is delivered and the final report is sent to the client . Doing this repeatedly for different kinds of projects helped us in seeing the gaps .
Insight and Approach
During the exploration phase and pattern finding phase , what we found what was there were multiple touch points that the client was interacting and there were overlapping projects or tasks with the same client . This was causing internal communication gaps as people needed to be briefed . For example , what we observed was that for a digital project with articles involved , the client had to interface with certain set of people in the team . And for executing videos there were interacting with others . Now this was causing a great time lag in the process . T
The solution that came out of the exercise is for the team to have two owners – one from a content standpoint and another from a project management standpoint – so there was a quicker delivery and lesser communication gap .
As we tried this approach in a pilot project , we found it extremely effective . Not only did it ease communication gaps , it also helped improve the client experience – this was an
outcome that was over and above what we expected . We just imagined an internal change but ended up with an external outcome as well .

CHALLENGES AND SELECTION
Designers use storytelling to get insight into users , build empathy and reach them emotionally . i want to work towards the elderly citizen with dementia and Alzheimer 's As the number of baby boomers who are also seniors grows rapidly , the number diagnosed with dementia , including Alzheimer ’s disease , also grows While it is the only disease with no prevention , real treatment and no cure , there has been an increase in ongoing research looking for a cure . People with dementia find it difficult to access memories , both new and old . This memory and recall impairment begins slowly and progresses to the point where it becomes hard to recall events , names , and conversations that they would have easily remembered previously . Good stories can engage seniors so that they will pay attention , empathize , and even cooperate . It is a matter of science
APPLICATION
I want to use storytelling as a way for the elderly people with such diseases to let their thoughts out and make them mood better with good communication skills and social interaction . in old age homes or healthcare institutes where they become frustrated and can not control their emotions this practice of storytelling can go a long way and improve their condition . Caregivers who use this process at home can have fun , show an image , and talk about it with your loved one . Healthcare professionals who use storytelling find that it opens older adults up to memories , encourages verbalization and promotes self- esteem . Each listener will glean a different emotional response and meaning to the same story based on their own ability to imagine .
INSIGHT AND APPROACH
We can sit with them in groups and play a game with them where each member can have a picture of something that will act as a starting point for any story from here they build . The participants use their imagination taking turns deciding what happens next . This allows them to express themselves creatively and emotionally in a positive low pressure environment . This can remove the isolation that the people with Alzheimer ’s feel . With each story they can narrate their experience and try to have a happy ending to it as they might relate these stories to themselves . Having someone to talk to will improve their mood as it is an escape from their daily frustrating life .
This course made me see this tool of storytelling as very important stories can motivate people and it is great source of entertainment too . It is an asset that I am really grateful for .

Big technology companies like YouTube and Facebook are competing for the same advertising revenue budgets . To remain viable , media owners like national newspapers and public service broadcasters , are increasing their pace of digital innovation . I work for a UK media owner and my team is responsible for developing advertising products using data and technology . A couple of years ago , my team worked on an exciting but challenging project in which we adopted a couple of design thinking tools . The project involved developing an algorithm that dynamically assigned website visitors into audience segments based on their purchase propensity . These audiences could then be served relevant targeted advertising . Based on interviews with our customers ( media agencies and marketing directors ) , there was strong interest in the product . Internally , our sales team was keen to be able to offer a sophisticated advertising product that could command a higher price . Our challenge was to develop a viable product that delivered strong marketing performance for advertisers . Our secondary challenge was to prove the potential of the product in order to secure the internal technology resources to productionise and scale . Selection : In order to address both the need to prove product effectiveness , and secure internal investment - we decided to build a prototype and conduct a real - world test - what was effectively a learning launch . Our learning launch involved running live digital marketing campaigns , using the new prototype . As Professor Hesse outlined in the video lecture , we were keen to test our prototype quickly and cheaply to understand what was working and what was not , before committing further time and resources . Application : We invited two beta customers ( advertisers ) , representing two different product types , to participate in the learning launch . We developed a series of hypotheses that then needed to be translated into the design of the test . This involved setting up a matrix of test and control audience grouping , and ensuring that the advertising campaign delivery was set - up correctly to avoid website users falling into more than one audience group which would muddy the results . In hindsight , we loaded too many hypotheses into the study . This necessitated a highly complex set - up that was extremely difficult for the campaign operations team to execute , and which generated ‘ too much ’ data which required a significant amount of time needed to process the results at the end of the campaign . In retrospect , we should have taken a more iterative approach to the learning launch - starting with the core hypotheses first , and then layering in additional test criteria in subsequent phases . Insight : As Professor Hesse noted in the video lecture , “ A learning launch is not a failure so long as you learn something ” - and we certainly did learn a lot from ours . The campaigns themselves were successful
- we were able to definitely prove that the product generated superior advertising effectiveness by driving more user engagement for the advertiser ( relative to the control group ) . Our beta customers were pleased and impressed with the results of the study , however we were unable to prove that the increased effectiveness would have justified a demand for the product at a higher price point . That hypothesis was not factored into the experiment . Additionally , we were not able to deliver on our secondary challenge - which was to prove that the project was worth investing in to productionise and scale . A number of factors contributed to this , including internal stakeholder politics . In retrospect , adopting more design thinking tools in the earlier “ What is ? ” and “ What if ? ” stages , such as involving more stakeholder colleagues in brainstorming and concept developmen t ( 1 ) , would have ensured greater buy in from the start . Approach : Thankfully because we kept an open mind throughout the learning launch , we were able to extract a myriad of unplanned observations and learnings . By tuning into these , we were able to avoid confirmation bias , and/or potentially terminating the idea prematurely . Instead , the insights from the learning launch helped us to redefine the challenge and the product itself . We noted the deep insights we were able to gather from the activation of the product and knew we had an important innovation in our hands , one worth sharing . So we took the decision to pivot . Instead of building a targeting product , we used the algorithm to develop an audience insights tool - which happened to be the first of its kind in our industry . These insight dashboards became a success , not only did advertisers begin to request it by name , it also won us an industry award for ‘ Best Use of Data ’ that year . Our primary reflections were to incorporate more design learning tools , involving more stakeholders and diverse views from the start to ensure we were correctly defining the challenges and the opportunities .
