Challenge
I work as an advisor for a cosmetic company . In my work , I hear and read lot of experiences what people have with our products . There is a specific area in cosmetics , which gives me grey hair : at home hair coloring . I bet almost every one of us has some experience with box dyes , If you have not colored yourself hair at home , it ’s your sister , mother , brother , cousin or friend . The home coloring – experiences are not , surprisingly , only good and why is that ? Because there is no “ free information / advice ” available for people who want to color their hair at home , people do not know the facts and that leads to unnecessary mistakes , like the famous yellow hair . My challenge is to create an educational tool , with which sharing correct information we could increase sales and avoid unpleasant mistakes at home . And other part of my challenge is to participate in to my innovation competition at my work , so even bigger challenge is to express the idea in a way that would inspire and active others to work towards the same goal : Educational marketing tool .
Selection
I love visualization . I dream before I can think of the facts . The choice is clear to me : Visualization tool . Visualization is also the perfect choice , when you want others to understand and get inspired about what you are thinking . As Angela Mayer said in the video when we are talking and changing opinions , we all can understand the words a slightly different way . I wanted to be very clear in my innovation , so I chose to put my thoughts into pictures .
Application
When I started to think my challenge , the first thoughts were : It should be easy and available for everyone . A mobile app was a clear solution , but I have no clue how to make one or where to star . The competition coming I chose to make a PowerPoint -presentation , where I could sketch my thoughts for more reasonable form . In the first sheet in my presentation , I wanted to create something , which would give something concrete about my idea . I visualized the layout for my app . When you think of a layout in app , it is square and there is a symbol , so that was easy . When I had finished the layout , there is something concrete other people can see and feel . After that , I made the first page the “ homepage ” , where I wanted to draw a picture about the information what is inside . Nice inviting picture in the background and few main topics what people are most interested about when it comes to hair coloring . I also included sheet with goals in it , because in my inspiration I might forgot to tell them verbally and it would be easier to my team to started working towards them or create even better goals when we would put our brains together .
Insights and approach
C1 - Internal use
Personally , I would not do anything differently in my approach , because Visualization and bringing things to a life is my gift – I am Geoff . In the course I noticed that when other people find the Design thinking hard , I find collecting data and “ following numbers ” hard . What I found the most important in this task and in the course is to develop the areas , which feel most difficult . If I could , I would have chosen another approach -Learning Launch . My challenge is very human centric , so real experiment would be efficient way to approach my innovation . Luckily , it is not too late for that . I hope that when my Idea get its change we will be able to try it in real life to see if it is really needed and does it help the consumers in hair coloring at home .

Challenge A client had asked us to build a new tool to help them evaluate their raw materials and certify their finished products . Unfortunately , we had little information about the old tools . Users knew how to operate them but there was no technical information available . We needed to start from a clean sheet although the hidden expectations were high .
Since the information we had access to was minimal and the processes we needed to address were highly customized , we had to start from the beginning : establishing a common understanding of the problem to solve . Later in the project we would use the same visualisation tool to present our solutions and , in the end , to train the end - users .
Selection The client company was familiar with LEGO Serious Play ( https://www.lego.com/en-us/seriousplay ) . You can use LEGO bricks to visualise a challenge or a solution , but their use should not be limited to visualisation . They also trigger “ play ” .
One of the team members spontaneously introduced visualisation using LEGO bricks at a moment where we got stuck . Instantaneously , the atmosphere improved , and we managed to make progress . Whereas , up to that moment , we failed to understand each other , spoke a different language and did not manage to grasp all the nitty gritty yet important details .
Application On a high level , the client ’s process works as follows . All raw materials are evaluated individually . Once approved , they are tested in various combinations with other materials . Their final products are certified based on the successful evaluation of raw materials and all relevant combinations .
We used LEGO bricks to represent different materials , certifications , etc .
Imagine 3 raw materials
Each of the raw materials is successfully evaluated ( represented by orange stamp )
3 out of 4 combinations of raw materials are tested successfully ( again represented by orange stamp )
raw material 1 raw material 2 raw material 3
ok ok ok
raw material 1 raw material 2 raw material 3
Based on these approved combinations , several final products can be certified , whereas some others can not :
This is a simplified visualisation of what really happened . Doing this in excel gives little room for “ what- if ” scenarios . e.g. what would happen in case raw material 1 was no longer available due to changing rules in the evaluation ? Combinations 2 and 4 would no longer be available resulting in only final product 1 that can remain certified .
Now imagine how much “ play ” we had , doing this kind of exercises with LEGO bricks and how easy it was to test several what - if scenario ’s ?
Insight Visualisation using LEGO Serious Play has helped us in various ways .
Bringing the bricks to the table enabled us to unblock a situation where we were no longer making progress . The factor “ play ” and the ability to make abstract concepts tangible were most important . Suddenly we were able to define a common language , explaining vague ideas became fun and cross- checking with each other became like an act of play . The “ we ” from business and “ they ” from IT disappeared rapidly .
Best of all was the long - term effect of these exercises . Change management and training went smoother than expected since we had a common model and tool to refer to . Again , the factor of “ play ” made it fun and reduced the impact of the anticipated fear for change .

Approach Bringing LEGO bricks to the table invites people both inside and outside of their comfort zone . Playing at work is odd at first but play as such feels very natural . It helps discussing abstract topics by making them tangible .
When we tried to visualize on a whiteboard using sketches like the ones above , people found it hard to understand them . It was the introduction of the bricks that helped .
Were the bricks the key factor for success ? Maybe . Even the best tools and processes will lead you nowhere if you do n’t know how to use them well … That is why I want to emphasize the importance of the facilitator in the process .
While we only used basic features of the LEGO Serious Play methods , I like to find out more about its full potential . And I am considering some training to improve my facilitating skills .

VISUALIZATION
Visualization , in
combination with a clear
business strategy , can reduce
the typical fuzziness of front-
end innovation . It can close
the psychological gap
between future and present ;
the future becomes more real
for purposes
of
innovation
in the
present .
Inspired
visualization
can be the
proverbial “ one picture is
worth a thousand words . ” It
can help to bridge a time gulf
of a thousand years or a travel
span in outer space of a
thousand light - years . For
practical purposes of
innovation , however , the
visualized future image
should have a reasonable
connection to the present in
terms of achievement
.Visualization generally
involves the perception of
needs and preferences across
a large population of potential
consumers , conditioned by
informed forecasts of
lifestyles and external living
conditions .
Visualization overlaps
with , but is not the same as ,
several other management-
related concepts — vision and
associative marketing . Vision
refers to a broad , generally
long - term picture of company
mission and goals ; it is not as
concrete as visualization .
Associative marketing is when
a company advertises a
product by tying it to a usually
vague image of a desirable
customer lifestyle ( e.g. , an
enjoyable vacation ) . Such
visualizations would not
generally be adequate for
specific innovative efforts in
product design .
A good visualization should
encompass both attractive
lifestyle images for consumers
and realizable technology
designs for innovators . The
relevant future context should
also be realistic in terms of
expected social - demographic ,
economic and environmental
trends , including trends
toward sustainability . Many of
these trends are evolving in
an exponential fashion ; future
visualizations therefore need
to be correspondingly
complex — even
“ disruptive”—in scope .
Reinforcing this complexity is
the fact that forecasters often

disagree about the nature , the
growth rate , of future trends ,
thus altering their potential
impact on innovation in the
present . Consumers ’
visualizations of their lifestyle
needs are often based on
prior experience and
convenience and may conflict
with companies ’ broad visions
of future trends in product
design .
CONCLUSION
The front end of innovation
does not have to be so fuzzy .
To innovate in the present ,
start by — and collaborate

The more consumer lifestyle

Reflection Paper
I 'm working on my thesis right now , and I 'm having trouble deciding on a topic or an issue . I
choose to use the mind mapping tool in this scenario . I began by making a list of topics that I am interested in . Then I narrowed it down by dividing it into sub - topics . As a result , I was able to graphically arrange my thoughts and conceptions .
Mind mapping makes it easier for me to remember and research my concepts . It makes my
design thinking process less complicated . It displays the topics that I am most interested in and those that I am least interested in . It helps me organize my thoughts and come up with new ideas . Also , when I 'm torn between two thoughts , mind mapping assists me in analyzing and comparing all relevant elements so that I may make the best option possible .

Challenge and Selection
A very helpful and critical tool in the process of design thinking that I use , is of Mind Mapping , for allowing different stakeholders , including customers , to be a part of augmenting and co - creating the design criteria formulation , which would set a foundation for the next steps . I use this technique often ( along with or without other techniques ) , to get on - board and on the same page stakeholders from different functions ( with conflicting KRAs ) , to understand the common goal of the problem as well as the correlation and impact , within and between functions . The stakeholders generally are the functional representatives of a retail banking institution , providing services to financial excluded customer segment and problems revolve around new product / process development . I use a technique called War - room , for achieving the mind mapping process execution efficiently , by the diverse group coming together discussing the same challenge ( enemy ) and strategies for possible solutions .
Application
I start the process by gathering as much data points , references , or related documents regarding the challenge . This would include customer interviews , competitor intelligence , primary and secondary market research articles , industry experts ’ comments and new trends , operational SOPs , policy documents , consultant ’s views , etc . This would also include reports from the product team on the current business trend and comments from key stakeholders ( interviews mainly ) .
As mentioned in the Mind Mapping brief by Martina Garcia , I start the mind mapping exercise by laying out all the data mentioned above in the form of pictures , videos , documents , etc . in a large conference room , which helps them understand the lengths and breadths of the problem and goal at hand . Then the participants ( total count of 20 ) from different groups ( functional representatives – different levels , target customers , vendors , partners ) , are asked to think by putting on two hats – 1 ) from the perspective of their own function and 2 ) from the perspective of other functions KRAs – and note it on sticky notes and place them against the article / data on display . This is always a time bound activity to cover the initial and most pressing insights that they can present . This activity can be done preferably individually or within groups .
Once the responses are collected , all the stick notes are jumbled and presented on a common board . Then the participants are asked to group the stick notes in some logical groups and name the groups . Once the groups are formed each group description is discussed to add more points to the group domain from any functions , if any . Once all the initial ideas have been scrambled in defined groups , the definition of the group is broadened as to what insight it presents to the problem . Next the insights are interconnected to see if a definitive pattern emerges . In the mind mapping tool , only exploring the “ what is ” stage is carried out . However , I dwell a bit deeper in the “ what if ” stage and ask the participants to form possible concepts of solutions to our problem using the insights drawn earlier .
Insight and Approach
The activity has many learnings for the group as well as the coordinator . Bringing together a very diverse group which would have been directly working on the solution in the latter part of the journey , are on - boarded in the start of the solution planning . Also , their thoughts are discussed and incorporated in the solution formulation , which gives a well - rounded solution as well as direction to that aspect of the problem which would have been discussed in the latter stages . Getting to the
source of the problem and how will it affect the individual as well as other functions , helps them find a midway solution to the problem . Also presenting the data to them in the a less formal manner and open to interpretation and discussion allows the co - creation process to be multi - dimensional . They also identify the new approach of strategic and innovative thinking , a different genre from their functional one - dimensional roles .
I have learned that the key outputs from this exercise is collaborative thinking and empathizing with various stakeholders , along with shared learning . I would , in the future , try to bring this collaborative approach in all other smaller projects also .

### Input: Reflection – Mind Mapping
Challenge and Selection
A very helpful and critical tool in the process of design thinking that I use , is of Mind Mapping , for allowing different stakeholders , including customers , to be a part of augmenting and co - creating the design criteria formulation , which would set a foundation for the next steps . I use this technique often ( along with or without other techniques ) , to get on - board and on the same page stakeholders from different functions ( with conflicting KRAs ) , to understand the common goal of the problem as well as the correlation and impact , within and between functions . The stakeholders generally are the functional representatives of a retail banking institution , providing services to financial excluded customer segment and problems revolve around new product / process development . I use a technique called War - room , for achieving the mind mapping process execution efficiently , by the diverse group coming together discussing the same challenge ( enemy ) and strategies for possible solutions .
Application
I start the process by gathering as much data points , references , or related documents regarding the challenge . This would include customer interviews , competitor intelligence , primary and secondary market research articles , industry experts ’ comments and new trends , operational SOPs , policy documents , consultant ’s views , etc . This would also include reports from the product team on the current business trend and comments from key stakeholders ( interviews mainly ) .

I work for an educational non - profit that develops curricular solutions for professors who are struggling to educate their students in the classroom . We were approached by a professor of entrepreneurship at La Salle College who was having difficulty breaking his students out of the mindset that failure is bad . After all , entrepreneurs fail all the time , and learning from failure is the most important element of being an entrepreneur . But his students were afraid to fail . The challenge we faced was to develop a learning tool that inculcated the mindset that failure is not only good , but essential to being a successful entrepreneur .
We had 6 months to develop something and a host of capabilities to help us along the way , including a wonderful video production team and a robust network of scholars we could draw from to partner with on developing a solution . Our core team consisted of two people , but we were able to pull in members of other teams to help with brainstorming and analysis .
Selection
Our team held an ideas brainstorm to get at many possible solutions on the table . After the brainstorm , we narrowed the possible solutions down to four and encouraged the team to storyboard possible implementations of the solution . I chose visualization because storyboarding was perhaps the most dynamic moment of our design process . The members of my team tend to think linearly , but visualizing ideas allowed us to think differently and to generate wild new applications of our ideas . Visualization also helped us align on what the actual solutions looked like because there was some confusion and disagreement beforehand .
Application
We handed out multiple “ comic book frame ” white sheets to each member of the team and asked everyone to write out their idea as if they were drawing a page in a comic book . We thought this would add a little fun to the project and also do a great job of visualizing the concepts . A comic book style helps to convey cause , effect , and progress . It quite literally tells a story using pictures . We gave each person in the room ( 8 people ) fifteen minutes to draw their comic book story illustrating how a potential user would interact with an actual product based on one of the concepts , and we assigned two people to each concept . We gave each person a set of colored crayons and pencils to draw his or her comic strip .
Insight
One thing we learned from this visualization exercise was that it is easier to surface key assumptions when you ’re actually able to see the product “ in action ” . Members of the team who thought they had a great idea realized that the idea would be logistically difficult if implemented , but they only discovered this after drawing it out .
It also made it easier for the team to collaborate in a positive way on tinkering with the concepts . When you discuss concepts at the abstract level , it is easier to poke holes than to have a “ yes , and ” mentality .
When you see something on paper , you think “ that looks cool ! What if we did it this way instead … ” It ’s also a much more fun way to develop products and gets the team excited , which should not be underestimated .
Approach
While we used visualization at the development stage , I can imagine using visualization much earlier on in the process as well . In the “ What is ? ” phase , our team did very little observation , relying mostly on phone interviews with professors and secondary research to discover the problem we needed to solve . We could take photographs or videos of the professors in action , actually teaching the class . And we could develop personas of our target audience using actual photographs of the professors .

Challenge As a pre - sales solutions engineer I am constantly faced with the tasks of understanding my clients ’ business drivers and being able to translate those drivers into digital solutions that drives business outcomes . A part of my job role requires me to be able to plan my year in order to predict how much business I will do with my clients over the course of a financial year . This planning involves working very closely with one , or sometimes multiple account managers . I ’ve found that planning strategies for a large set of accounts can be extremely challenging , especially when it involves decisions that need to be made by multiple people who need to agree on what is possible for a specific client . Traditionally , this type of planning would be done by looking at historical sales data for each client and by trying to predict future sales by numbers alone . This has not been as effective as I think the business would like it to be , primarily because it reduces the clients ’ needs to a number and the sales process to a monetary goal . Selection I decided that there had to be a better way of visualizing the problem and simplifying the scenario surrounding each client . Spending time with each client was a good start to understanding their needs , but I also needed to be able to translate those needs into a roadmap for the digital transformation efforts that would come . This could not be done until I had a better view of what the digital estate of each client looked like and also be able to share this view with others such as the account managers and regional sales managers . Mind mapping seemed like a great way to visualize the situation . More importantly , it provided the ability to look for patterns within the large quantities of sales data and the engagements that were constantly occurring between the account teams and the clients . I knew that the first step to building a relevant roadmap for each of my clients would require me to create a bridge between what is and what if using mind maps as a tool to get me there . Application I worked closely with one account manager before taking this process to any of the others . I setup some time with him to look into building a mind map for our five most important accounts . We looked at all the data we had based on four digital areas , the enterprise network , the datacenter , their cyber security estate and their collaboration tools . We then mapped out which of our solutions had been deployed in their environments and which solutions had been purchased from competitors . We included the sales data such as , when each of the solutions were purchased and when they would become outdated . We mapped their current business drivers alongside their current technology footprint and then began to connect their goals to their estate in order to see where the gaps were so that we could predict what business we would be doing with them for the coming year .
Insight Many of my clients have been affected quite dramatically by the worldwide pandemic and one of the most common business trends was that they needed to be able to do more with less resources . What was immediately apparent from the mind mapping exercise was the diverse set of technology solutions that the clients had deployed . As an engineer , this sparked an idea around how they could best bring all of their solutions together in the most efficient way in order to try to reduce their operational costs with better integrations and less overhead in terms of man hours . We were also able to clearly define which aspects of each client needed the most focus . For example , one client did not have full security cover across all the different vulnerabilities within their environment . We could easily decide that their business goal of risk mitigation would be achieved by building a security roadmap for them . Another client had mentioned that they were working on an internal application , the performance of which was difficult to gauge . The map allowed us to see that a network analytics and monitoring tool together with an application visibility solution would fulfill their needs perfectly . Approach A more traditional approach could have been used to analyze the needs of each of our clients . We could have applied the tried and tested method of gaining an internal view of our clients by simply asking them what they needed or trying to update their existing technologies with newer models . But this approach does not truly connect the dots of what drives the behavior of our clients and therefore remains unpredictable . It also provides no real simplicity that can be easily replicated and scaled , and each client would have to be handled on a case - by - case basis . These challenges seem to have been solved by employing the mind map to provide a more efficient method of building a strategy for a group of clients . It helped to simplify and visualize the otherwise contextless sales data that was previously used .

Challenge
I work for a non - profit organization that provides quality education to under - privileged children . My company adopts under - performing public schools in low - income communities . After adopting those schools , we implement reforms that lead to positive student learning outcomes and increased student enrollment .
In order to raise funds for our initiatives , we organize fundraising dinners . Guests pay an entry fee to attend a musical performance followed by dinner . During the event , my company ’s Fundraising department used to highlight important facts about the shortcomings in the public school system by displaying shocking facts about the low student enrollment , high drop - out rate , and abysmal student achievement . The Fundraising Department personnel would then distribute donation forms among the guests and ask them to make donation commitments to address the problems that they were highlighting . At the end of the event , we would collect these firms . Very few people would make any commitments and those who did , would not follow though by actually sending a donation check . We were unable to identify why our guests were not making any donation commitments when they clearly cared enough about the cause to attend our event .
Selection and Application
Last year , we all sat down to discuss ways to collect more donor commitments during our fundraising dinner scheduled for December . We decided to interview guests and tried to place ourselves in the shoes of our donors . We realized from our discussions that our fundraising pitches during the events did not draw any interest from the guests . They would mostly tune out or start talking among themselves when our Fundraising Manager would come on stage . The Fundraising Manager would list out a number of facts and figures about the abysmal state of public schools but it did not resonate with the guests .
Therefore , we decided to come up with a different approach to our fundraising efforts . So we decided that instead of presenting facts and figures , we will pick stories about our students who had done well in our schools and gone on to attend University . We selected this approach because people would be more interested to see the students , learn about their lives and see how our work impacts them instead of viewing graphs .
This time , our CEO would tell the stories of these children and we would display photographs from their time in school while playing sports or participating in one of our classes . At the end of their story , we would invite the student to come on stage and narrate how he viewed our company had impacted his life . After narrating our students ’ stories , we would then ask the guests to commit a donation that would sponsor a child ’s education for a certain amount . We would then share details about the sponsored student ’s progress with the donor .
Insight and Approach
In previous fundraising dinners , we would receive donor commitments from 5 percent of the invitees . But after using storytelling as a tool to inform the guests about our impact in the public schools , we received commitments from 23 percent of the guests who attended the fundraising dinner held in December last year .
We learnt that storytelling is a powerful tool to not only draw attention but to also drive donations because people connected better to uplifting stories . What we have learned is that the stories we pick should represent the diverse background of our students . We have students in our schools who have overcome great odds to complete their education and start successful careers . These stories can help highlight how our work helps these students accomplish their goals and overcome hardships . We decided that we will highlight more of these stories on our website and on our social media campaigns for fundraising purposes .

After adopting those schools , we implement reforms that lead to positive student learning outcomes and increased student enrollment .
In order to raise funds for our initiatives , we organize fundraising dinners . Guests pay an entry fee to attend a musical performance followed by dinner . During the event , my company ’s Fundraising department used to highlight important facts about the shortcomings in the public school system by displaying shocking facts about the low student enrollment , high drop - out rate , and abysmal student achievement . The Fundraising Department personnel would then distribute donation forms among the guests and ask them to make donation commitments to address the problems that they were highlighting . At the end of the event , we would collect these firms . Very few people would make any commitments and those who did , would not follow though by actually sending a donation check . We were unable to identify why our guests were not making any donation commitments when they clearly cared enough about the cause to attend our event .
Selection and Application
Last year , we all sat down to discuss ways to collect more donor commitments during our fundraising dinner scheduled for December . We decided to interview guests and tried to place ourselves in the shoes of our donors . We realized from our discussions that our fundraising pitches during the events did not draw any interest from the guests . They would mostly tune out or start talking among themselves when our Fundraising Manager would come on stage . The Fundraising Manager would list out a number of facts and figures about the abysmal state of public schools but it did not resonate with the guests .
Therefore , we decided to come up with a different approach to our fundraising efforts . So we decided that instead of presenting facts and figures , we will pick stories about our students who had done well in our schools and gone on to attend University . We selected this approach because people would be more interested to see the students , learn about their lives and see how our work impacts them instead of viewing graphs .
This time , our CEO would tell the stories of these children and we would display photographs from their time in school while playing sports or participating in one of our classes . At the end of their story , we would invite the student to come on stage and narrate how he viewed our company had impacted his life . After narrating our students ’ stories , we would then ask the guests to commit a donation that would sponsor a child ’s education for a certain amount . We would then share details about the sponsored student ’s progress with the donor .
Insight and Approach
In previous fundraising dinners , we would receive donor commitments from 5 percent of the invitees . But after using storytelling as a tool to inform the guests about our impact in the public schools , we received commitments from 23 percent of the guests who attended the fundraising dinner held in December last year .
We learnt that storytelling is a powerful tool to not only draw attention but to also drive donations because people connected better to uplifting stories . What we have learned is that the stories we pick should represent the diverse background of our students . We have students in our schools who have overcome great odds to complete their education and start successful careers . These stories can help highlight how our work helps these students accomplish their goals and overcome hardships . We decided that we will highlight more of these stories on our website and on our social media campaigns for fundraising purposes .

Responsible investment is growing movement in the investment industry where investors align their investment decisions based on a set of principles described by the United Nations Global Compact ( UNGC ) . In a nutshell , the UNGC aims to outline what businesses should aim to be ‒ conducting business activities that do not cause harm on the local populace , the employees , the environment , and governing in a just and fair way ( The Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact , n.d . ) .
The problem that us , the investment service providers , have products and services whose offerings do not necessarily match our clients ’ use cases . The usability score of service offerings in the investment industry is varies wildly because of the wide range of goals that funds , fund managers , and institutional investors have . This is especially true for the responsible investment where the idea of “ responsible ” is ever - changing . We service providers are therefore not making the best use of our resources by providing a product with low usability measures , and our clients are not getting the best value for their money .
Selection
To increase our product ’s usability score , we used Mind Mapping . It is , of course , not ideal for a business to create a specific product for each of their customers . It would be costly to make and maintain , and confusing for the employees and employers as they ’re trying to cater to a number of clients . Mind mapping will allow us to describe our current reality based on our customers ’ inputs on our products . As described in our Week 3 lecture , it is used to identify patterns and insights which will capture the minds of our customers .
Application
Our sales and research team had already conducted an ethnographic interview of our customers . Our team then gathered a handful of our colleagues from different teams , whose efforts feed into the different product offerings in our responsible investment business unit . We recreated the idea of holding an “ art gallery ” filled with the raw data gathered by the sales and research team . Our colleagues , equipped with a stack of sticky notes and pens , then took down their individual observations of the data surrounding them . After which we gathered in a room where
each colleague organized their sticky notes on general idea - themed sets . Then we presented our themes to the team and stuck them on a huge idea board . We took turns presenting our themes , grouping similar themes together , and stuck outliers farther from themed clusters . When everyone was done , we looked at our themed findings and formed insight statements garnered from the themed clusters .
The biggest challenge we encountered in this exercise was introducing this new idea to the team . It was hard for them to take it seriously as some found the exercise to be silly or a waste of time . It was hard , indeed , to try to convince people to stray away from how we would usually tackle these things . I personally fear that we did not get a more thorough description of our themes as they do n’t know what to put , or were hesitant to bring up an idea that they think that it was too obvious or too much of an outlier .
The exercise was most effective when we started presenting our themes , and especially effective when we were trying to put insights on our themes . The atmosphere in the start of the discussion was awkward , but as the participants started to see that people had similar insights , it was easier for them to speak up . The collaborative aspect of Mind Mapping really bloomed at that point in the exercise .
Insight
The insight - labelling aspect of the exercise was an eye - opener for everyone . We found that the platform we had made sense to us , but it was not as obvious to our clients . We found that the design of our platforms , and how our data pipelines are designed affected a large part of the usability for our product . We found that clients had to extensively modify the data they extracted from our platforms to make it useable for their use cases . We even found out that clients were not aware of some of the services included in their packages simple because of how we designed our platform .
This was a revelation to us . We designed our product to cater to a huge number of aspects that our clients may be interested in . However , the fact that how we presented this did not make a lot of sense to clients , effectively rendered our efforts to null .
Approach
Although we had a rough start , I believe that doing the art gallery exercise was one of the most effective ways to look at where we stand . We agreed that it was something that we can implement , not just to our responsible investment unit , but across the different business units as well . What I think we could have done differently was to introduce more innovative exercises to the teams . It was a hard hurdle to overcome that the exercise was so different to what we were
used to , we found it hard to convince colleagues that what we ’re doing was of value to us and how we can improve . This reflected in their initial response and effort in the experiments .
All things considered , I will count this exercise as a success . We now have a good idea of what our clients are thinking and have some idea on how they use and think about our platforms . I am thankful for the guidance of this course , and for opening a whole new world of ideas , idea- and solution- generation for us . It definitely lit a spark on how we should improve ourselves and tackle problems innovatively .

Challenge & Selection Mind maps are my favorite tool for visualizing thoughts and ideas , structuring them , and creating a plan of action . It is enough difficult to keep a large amount of information in your head at the same time . Because some of the necessary information is forgotten . And the mind map will help you organize your data and improve your intelligence . Or even to simplify the generation of new ideas and be able to remember a large amount of information in a short time . I use this approach when I need to come up with an approach to automating testing of new telecom - products . This is really a very useful tool for discovering new features .
Application I usually enter data on paper by hand . But more and more often I use an online mind map . And in this case you will need to download an application or use of the sites . If I use the classic method , then proceed as follows :
I take a sheet of at least A4 size and place it horizontally . You need to have colored pencils or markers at hand .
I place the main images or words in the center . I use bright colors . Because the action stimulates thinking .
I draw several branches coming from the base . It is better if they are crooked and twisting . I recommend highlighting branches in a separate color . I select words for each line .
I Consider branches and begin to create the Association . Do n't limit yourself . Let the mind work freely .
Separate branches may run from auxiliary lines . And they are also provided with keywords . I use additional images . Because they will make the map interesting and memorable . And , in addition , images generate more associations .
When the initial stage of work is finished , I start asking myself additional questions . And I continue to improve mind map .
I enter keywords in block letters . It is better to use black because the information must be clear and precise . And I place it directly on the lines that show the relationship . Do n't make the keywords in the frame .
The line should be identical to the length of the word , and not exceed it . And do n't place the information too tightly . Only one word can be present on a single line . Additional information will be forgotten . You will be able to remember the information if you select bright , characteristic , and catchy data as your keywords .
Insight & Approach When performing mind mapping , you do n't need to overload yourself . Because work should n't be a burden . And you need to try to have fun . Then the effectiveness of the final result will increase .
So you need to be creative . Let the scheme be bright . Because it 's useful to remember . You need to use all available information , group information , and highlight important data .
The use of computer programs will allow you to save time . But the scheme , made with your own hands , will allow you to better understand the information . And if the final result is too large , you can redraw the map . For example , by removing secondary data . When all the information is needed , first create a draft . And this action will reveal important thoughts .
As with any other technique for generating ideas , mind maps focus on the goal . Next time , I 'll be more clear about what I want to achieve . Then I will fix specific goals for different areas .

The Storytelling tool is one of the best when it comes to applying it , so the use very often since it has allowed me on many occasions to create an emotional bond between the people with whom I get to work , communicate a message in order to achieve a purpose all this through which we share similar experiences or are reflected by the stories I share , likewise , people feel heard .
Actually , I use it for all types of people , but I often apply it when there are conflicts within an organization since in this way I manage to generate trust through telling them certain personal stories depending on the case and so the other person can have the confidence to tell me the situation they are going through and thus identify in the best way the problems they affect and find the best solutions .
Working with different types of women has also allowed me to identify the situations they have gone through which have led them here , dealing with many problems , feeling that they have fewer opportunities for success not only in their personal lives but also in their work lives , together I seek to work with them to empower us , support us in the aspects that we consider that have marked us in our lives , progress and seek to achieve our goals .
So , we apply certain strategies where we combine our stories and experiences with achieving that empowerment and improving our quality of life .
Application
Within a working group of a product company made up only of women began to discuss the situation they faced when doing their work since it was not being anything effective , even within their work environment conflicts were emerging , however it was because of the different individualisms that existed between them ,

Insight & Approach
I was really surprised and moved how many of them felt relieved , heard , understood which allowed them to create stronger bonds between that work team .
In particular I reinforced this session with a story , and a phrase that says , " The side is not competition is companion , and behind every successful woman is an Army of friends encouraging her to move forward and providing support at all times . "
They really needed to feel heard and above all feel in an environment where the emotional bonds were real and that gave them confidence , so in the following months they improved their productivity and sales , bringing with them a great satisfaction for that sector of the company they improved not only in the labor aspect but also in the staff , greater sales channels emerged and it was possible to change certain activities where this environment and links were reinforced weekly :

Challenge
I ’m in an innovation team of a financial institution . We have an initiative to do total integrated business solution for SME , especially small online merchants . With the lack of knowledge and access to enterprise - grade complete business operations tools , we want to create value by bringing and integrating different tools and apps that are relevant to target segment , to help them manage and grow their business efficiently , while we can get insight and understand the customers more . The scope of the project includes everything from initiating the idea and formulating the business model , negotiating with partners , to executing and developing the product with IT department .
Selection
This is a very new initiative and offering that has never been done before in the market , let alone having been done in our organization . Hence nobody really knows how the customers will see the benefit of our offering as well as potential adoption in the market .
We did n’t ’ want to spend too much time on analysis and feasibility with no direct input from customer and based on real empathy and insights from customers . So we tried the learning launch tool , which will be the experiment meant to quickly test the idea at the beginning , as well as to be the tool used for developing the product at each stage from prototyping , the first MVP , and ongoing improvements .
Application
The very first pre - launch activity was validating our assumptions and concepts with real customers , using web screen mock - up to simulate and communicate about the features / functions and benefits of using our integrated business solutions . We broke it down into smaller modules to be able to have deeper discussion and gaining insights on how they would take this offer , how they will react and fit this solution into their actual business operations , as well as any comments or concern they had .
We then decided on the scope of our MVP that will be an actual working web with the minimum set of features / functions that provide some value and could be used for testing with actual customers in real environment , with minimum effort on IT development .
The actual first learning launch was a website that provide a recommendation engine that helps guide and suggests the set of apps / tools in different categories that are relevant and can improve customer ’s business operations . Once the customers select any of the apps / tools suggested , they can also activate all the selected apps / tools with single registration .
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool , we identified our assumptions and the issues that could be sensitive to customers and should be tested with real customers . What we learned from the very early activity was that the concept is what customers need . However , even if the target group is getting more digital savvy , but simplest way to communicate and engage with the customers is required to
be crafted carefully . They need to be educated and hand hold to the point where they can continue by themselves .
All these insights have helped the team design and shape the products / solutions to be what customers really need and use . This is a very key success factors .
Another important thing we learned was that data privacy as well as willingness to change and adopt to new way of operating business is possible where sufficient benefits and value is perceived or readily obtained .
Approach
Given the nature of our initiative , which has never been done before and hence no data or understanding that can be leveraged to design the product / solution , as well as the fact that the scope of our product / solution would involve learning about adoption and perception on the take up of new type of different apps / tools , as well feeling about data sharing across different platforms . The learning launch was the most appropriate tool to help us achieve the objective of the project . Many insights were obtained and used for designing and improving the product / solution .

### Input: Reflection – Learning Launch
Challenge
I ’m in an innovation team of a financial institution . We have an initiative to do total integrated business solution for SME , especially small online merchants . With the lack of knowledge and access to enterprise - grade complete business operations tools , we want to create value by bringing and integrating different tools and apps that are relevant to target segment , to help them manage and grow their business efficiently , while we can get insight and understand the customers more . The scope of the project includes everything from initiating the idea and formulating the business model , negotiating with partners , to executing and developing the product with IT department .
Selection
This is a very new initiative and offering that has never been done before in the market , let alone having been done in our organization . Hence nobody really knows how the customers will see the benefit of our offering as well as potential adoption in the market .
We did n’t ’ want to spend too much time on analysis and feasibility with no direct input from customer and based on real empathy and insights from customers . So we tried the learning launch tool , which will be the experiment meant to quickly test the idea at the beginning , as well as to be the tool used for developing the product at each stage from prototyping , the first MVP , and ongoing improvements .
Application
The very first pre - launch activity was validating our assumptions and concepts with real customers , using web screen mock - up to simulate and communicate about the features / functions and benefits of using our integrated business solutions . We broke it down into smaller modules to be able to have deeper discussion and gaining insights on how they would take this offer , how they will react and fit this solution into their actual business operations , as well as any comments or concern they had .
We then decided on the scope of our MVP that will be an actual working web with the minimum set of features / functions that provide some value and could be used for testing with actual customers in real environment , with minimum effort on IT development .
The actual first learning launch was a website that provide a recommendation engine that helps guide and suggests the set of apps / tools in different categories that are relevant and can improve customer ’s business operations . Once the customers select any of the apps / tools suggested , they can also activate all the selected apps / tools with single registration .

Challenge :
Since the introduction of the term supply chain management ( SCM ) in 1973 . it has received ever- growing interest both in the literature as well as from industrial practice . A reason for this might be that it has so many facets and that the tasks of accomplishing the aims of SCM are so demanding that it is more an ongoing endeavor than a single short - term project . This broad scope of SCM incurs the difficulty of finding a suitable definition and description of the term .
we are concerned with the future of advance planning system which may give rise to future research . Three areas for improvements are proposed : Improvements which are possible within the modules of today ’s advance planning system , issues which challenge the premises of today ’s advance planning system , and last but not least two business functions are identified which should be better integrated with advance planning system .
Selection :
The network of organizations that are involved , through upstream and downstream linkages in the different processes and activities that produce value in the form of products and services in the hand of the ultimate consumer . ’ This definition stresses that all the activities along a SC should be designed according to the needs of the customers to be served . Consequently , the ( ultimate ) consumer is at best an integral part of a SC . The main focus is on the order fulfilment process and corresponding material , financial and information flows .
Application :
Competitiveness and customer service The roof of the house of SCM depicts the ultimate aim of SCM , namely improving competitiveness of a SC as a whole . This is achieved by directing the SC in a sustainable , strategic position compared to its competitors . An important means to achieve this aim is customer satisfaction . Excellent examples of how to focus SC processes on customers are given by two case studies ( Berry et al . , 1999 ; Childerhouse et al . , 2002 ) , which––based on the work of Skinner ( 1974 ) show how to analyses the strengths and weaknesses of a SC in a competitive market . Concentrating on order qualifiers and order winners , a methodology is proposed for market segmentation followed by the re - engineering of a specific order fulfilment process for each market segment .
Insight :
An issue of the ‘ correct ’ input data for decision models . Although technically possible , there is no direct link between an APS and a company ’s cost accounting system . The reason is that costs calculated in accounting systems serve several purposes , like an ex post evaluation of the profitability of a specific customer order or the total cost of a machine hour , but usually not to become an input to decision models . Recently , there has been a renewed discussion about the ‘ correct ’ inventory holding costs in purchasing models . The usual approach is to specify the inventory holding cost per item per period as the interest to be paid on the value of that item .
Approach :
This approach is challenged in case there are different sources of supply for an item at different costs per unit . Since it is not clear which items are withdrawn first e.g. the cheapest or the most expensive ones the ‘ value ’ of the remaining inventory is no longer clear . One way to overcome this problem is to convert the objective function into minimizing the net present value of cash flows . However , assuming that compound interest is negligible , it shown that cost accounting figures may still result in correct decisions , if holding costs are not attributed to inventory levels but to the material flows . This example highlights the need for further research efforts for making use of accounting data within APS .

Challenge
My challenge revolves around food security which is to be given to the poor people of my country . There are around 88 million poor people in India and My target is to make a food chain which can help these people . We have to cover approximately 10 million people in the next decade .
Selection
Mind Mapping is the perfect tool to go with as it helps us to know our potential customers , their need , their difficulties and many other things on a single board . In the video lecture professor emphasize its use as it increases our creativity and by using this tool , we had a solid plan to follow . Earlier we ( my team ) were just assuming things .
Application
With the help of mind mapping we will interlink the region ’s staple food to the poor people of that particular region only , so by this we can save the cost of transportation also . Through mind mapping only we came to know that we can generate revenue from poor people by fulfilling their needs also . We have many NGO ’s and government policies to compete with but with the help of mind mapping we came with a solid plan to stand different from them . We will be focusing on food quality which other people are lagging somewhere . For ex : If Rice grows in your region in ample amount so we will contact the local farmers there and will ask them to sell their crops to us , we will be setting our small plant in that region and will process food there . We will serve that food in the near area at a minimal cost to the needy people .
Insights
Before using Mind Mapping or I would say Design thinking we were not able to come to the conclusion of how to implement this idea . I was not focussing on What wows ? And What works ? .I was going for a large area to cover without any prototype version implemented at small area . That was my mistake during the early days but now I know how to go through the line .
Approach
There were many mistakes and faults in the idea which we amended after going through this beautiful course . Each and every tool plays its important role in designing or shaping the raw idea to perfect idea . Visualization might have made our idea more attractive and feasible . With the help of storytelling we might have gone through different angles of people ’s thought process . Learning Launch might had helped us in testing our idea on a small scale and then to jump on bigger level .

Opinion : The Problem with Bottled Water by Santiago Suarez
More than half of the people in the United States drink bottled water regularly . In general ,
bottled water is considered convenient because it is portable . But that convenience comes with problems and a high environmental cost . The problems include : pollution created during production and transportation of bottled water ; injuries to marine life from discarded bottles ; and ugly garbage dumps filled with empty bottles .
Plastic water bottles are typically made from crude oil . During their production , pollutants
such as nickel , benzene , and ethylene oxide are released . These harm the environment and pollute the air we breathe . It takes 1.5 million barrels of oil to produce the plastic water bottles we use each year . Additionally , trucks release more pollutants and use gasoline when they transport bottled water to stores .
26 billion plastic bottles are made each year . That equals
30 million tons of plastic . Unfortunately , most end up in garbage dumps rather than recycling centers . It takes hundreds of years for a plastic bottle to decompose – to dissolve into the soil . The bottles that are in the garbage dumps today will be with us a long time .
Garbage dumps are often located near the ocean , and that is where many bottles wind up .
In the ocean , sea turtles and other animals can mistake plastic bottles for their main food source , jellyfish . Eating plastic can injure or kill sea turtles as well as birds that feed in the ocean .
Across the United States , people can turn on sink faucets to get some of the cleanest ,
healthiest tap water on Earth . Almost all chemicals and impurities have been removed to make this drinking water clean and safe . It is also inexpensive . On average , a gallon of tap water costs a small fraction of one cent . Considering these facts , the obvious question is , “ Why do Americans drink so much bottled water ? ”
Consumers in the United States feel bottled water is both safer and more convenient . The
fact is that tap water is just as safe and tap water carried in a reusable container is just as convenient . Clearly , the advantages of bottled water are more imaginary than real .
It is time for major changes across the country . If every bottled water consumer in the U.S.
made the switch to drinking tap water from reusable containers , the environment would be cleaner and safer for all living creatures . The percentage of plastic bottles that get recycled needs to rise as well . Currently only about 30 percent of plastic bottles make it to a recycling center . That means 70 percent wind up in garbage dumps !
It is important to communicate information about this environmental issue with others .
Many people are simply unaware of the harm caused by this problem and are willing to change their behavior when they find out how the environment is being affected .

Letter from a reader : A Reply to Santiago Suarez by Glen Styles Dear Environment Today ,
Recently you printed an article by Santiago Suarez about all the problems that are caused by
people drinking too much bottled water . I think Mr. Acosta was far too negative . Mr. Acosta makes it sound like people who use bottled water do n’t care about the environment . That ’s not true . Many people who use bottled water help protect the environment by recycling plastic bottles . The problems Mr. Acosta mentions are not as bad as he says , and there are some good reasons why people should drink bottled water .
First of all , many of the numbers he uses are very old . The number of plastic bottles being
recycled is going up dramatically . Nearly every town in the United States has a plastic recycling program .

Opinion : The Problem with Bottled Water by Santiago Suarez
More than half of the people in the United States drink bottled water regularly . In general ,
bottled water is considered convenient because it is portable . But that convenience comes with problems and a high environmental cost . The problems include : pollution created during production and transportation of bottled water ; injuries to marine life from discarded bottles ; and ugly garbage dumps filled with empty bottles .
Plastic water bottles are typically made from crude oil . During their production , pollutants
such as nickel , benzene , and ethylene oxide are released . These harm the environment and pollute the air we breathe . It takes 1.5 million barrels of oil to produce the plastic water bottles we use each year . Additionally , trucks release more pollutants and use gasoline when they transport bottled water to stores .
26 billion plastic bottles are made each year . That equals
30 million tons of plastic . Unfortunately , most end up in garbage dumps rather than recycling centers . It takes hundreds of years for a plastic bottle to decompose – to dissolve into the soil . The bottles that are in the garbage dumps today will be with us a long time .
Garbage dumps are often located near the ocean , and that is where many bottles wind up .
In the ocean , sea turtles and other animals can mistake plastic bottles for their main food source , jellyfish . Eating plastic can injure or kill sea turtles as well as birds that feed in the ocean .
Across the United States , people can turn on sink faucets to get some of the cleanest ,
healthiest tap water on Earth . Almost all chemicals and impurities have been removed to make this drinking water clean and safe . It is also inexpensive . On average , a gallon of tap water costs a small fraction of one cent . Considering these facts , the obvious question is , “ Why do Americans drink so much bottled water ? ”
Consumers in the United States feel bottled water is both safer and more convenient . The
fact is that tap water is just as safe and tap water carried in a reusable container is just as convenient . Clearly , the advantages of bottled water are more imaginary than real .
It is time for major changes across the country . If every bottled water consumer in the U.S.
made the switch to drinking tap water from reusable containers , the environment would be cleaner and safer for all living creatures . The percentage of plastic bottles that get recycled needs to rise as well . Currently only about 30 percent of plastic bottles make it to a recycling center . That means 70 percent wind up in garbage dumps !
It is important to communicate information about this environmental issue with others .
Many people are simply unaware of the harm caused by this problem and are willing to change their behavior when they find out how the environment is being affected .

Letter from a reader : A Reply to Santiago Suarez by Glen Styles Dear Environment Today ,
Recently you printed an article by Santiago Suarez about all the problems that are caused by
people drinking too much bottled water . I think Mr. Acosta was far too negative . Mr. Acosta makes it sound like people who use bottled water do n’t care about the environment . That ’s not true . Many people who use bottled water help protect the environment by recycling plastic bottles . The problems Mr. Acosta mentions are not as bad as he says , and there are some good reasons why people should drink bottled water .
First of all , many of the numbers he uses are very old . The number of plastic bottles being
recycled is going up dramatically . Nearly every town in the United States has a plastic recycling program .
He also does not pay enough attention to the chemicals found in some tap water . The only
way to avoid these chemicals is to drink bottled water .
Like many people , I prefer to drink bottled water . I always recycle my bottles and I care very
much about the environment . Instead of switching to tap water , people just need to recycle . -- Glen Styles , Cleveland , Ohio

We had a challenge to find solution on effective “ Performance Management System ” ( PMS ) to be implemented in the organization . We need to find the building blocks and suggest key points to form PMS to our HR department . We have diversified group of different products and functions as well . We deal with different environment for different customers and different goals . The challenge was to find the effective PMS which can cover this diversified group with common basic blocks . We used the “ Visualization - Tool ” from Design Thinking theory to address this challenge . We used Straw man figures for visualization of the problem . To have shared understanding we call upon set of people related to this diversified groups who had gone through more than three to four years of appraisals in the company . They had fair idea about what is challenge we have to form the efficient PMS within the organization .
Application
To start with I started with basic straw man starting figure of appraisal system which leads to PMS . Then every individual had been asked draw basic blocks which are problem area for PMS with visualization tool as their contribution in developing the further pictorial view of the problem situation and the possible solution . The initial frame created could give us basic thoughts where we stand , but possibly it was still missing connections . We fine tune our brain storming to come up with all possible angles and missing links in the Straw Man diagram with “ Visualization Tool ” technique further . We reached to the point where we all felt yes this covers now maximum points and the flow what we want in PMS , Which represents the challenge we have and the problem we are facing .
As group was diversified they had their own ideas about the problem and hence it scattered major spectrum of challenge which can be expected . Every Individual was asked to note down key points which summarizes their issues mentioned in the drawing . This helped us to plot different themes for the building blocks further . The key points mentioned on the sticky notes was segregated basis the similarities under single theme . This further gave us the scope to describe the basic building blocks of the system flow chart more conveniently .
Once we agreed upon the basic building blocks through this it was then next to fix on their priorities and the sequence in the process . Which was again we could do through “ Visualization Tool ” which resembles more natural way to flow and completes the cycle seamlessly .
Below is the photograph taken from the initial drawing which we did on blackboard to form the building blocks of the PMS .
This covers exhaustive list of all the points expressed by the team with their own imagination of how it can work and forms the PMS systems
Insight & Approach
This tool helped to create confidence in many colleagues that even though one ’s drawing is not good he or she can interpret the thoughts through straw man drawings using “ Visualization Tool ” in design thinking . Even though initially it look absurd or distorted image of the work challenge , at the end when it was fine tune and consolidated incorporating all the feedbacks and pointers , the image came out very well . Even though our job was only to reach the first level of feedback to the HR department about what we think about PMS and what we should do to have the better PMS in organization . We could really reach to the level where we could be very certain that these are the master blocks to design the full grown PMS within organization .
Right from Pre Goal Setting , Measurable /Non Measurable goals Setting , Evaluation , Self & Peer appraisals , Feedback mechanism , Rewards along with Learning and Development function roles we could define in the process .
Visualization approach helped everyone to buy the mutual ideas easily and understand the thought process behind putting all figures together to create cohesive structure .
Sharing ideas with each other could bring in insights to each one of us involved in the process and possibly adaptability of the doubts in the process were less . Also we realized that the next tool of mind mapping is also can be combined with Visualization Tool here by creating more details about the work done . In mind mapping the basic concept of impromptu themes to segregate the work is very useful to drill down the work for fine tuning the blocks .
We used “ Visualization Tool ” for brain storming , nurturing our idea to bring out the challenge on the board and straw man graphics used to interpret the same . The more and more use of this technique will make us more fine and accurate to utilize its strength . Really grateful to course era for providing such insights which was lying with us and it was that learning made us utilize for our betterment .

1 . Visualization ( Module 1 )
Challenge :
As an aircraft quality advisor , I need to interpret the design requirements needed by the client and I must communicate it to our engineering team in such a manner that everyone understands it clearly . This clear understanding helps the company to see the customer ’s vision and make it true if the idea is viable . To remove the gap our company always arranges a one on one conference , where both the client and the design engineers will discuss the possibilities , options etc . For a building that engineering marvel . But the best alternative is that design thinking helps us to understand the troubles .
Selection :
Visualization is the best instrument to understand the problems and limitations . Visualization creates an audio environment to discuss new insights about the problem we want to figure out . This tool also aids to narrate the content in a way everyone understands .
Application :
After utilizing these techniques , applying this is the most important component . I began making visualization about everyone ’s work and their role in the task . I set about describing their roles in the chart and showed this to the chief engineer , he was surprised to see this . The chart is still in the position . Visualization helps us to proceed to the next step because we agreed on what the problem is and drive the efforts to work on the best results .
Insights :
Not everyone in my team owns the same English understanding capability . This was the serious issue in our company . But after the inculcation of the visualization technique allows us to outline and write what we think and it likewise constitutes the operation easy . Because everyone understands the matter , the time frame to complete the project scale drastically . Thanks to this technique .
Approach :
Visualization technique ’s approach is rather gentle and elementary . But a pair of markers , and a chart ( just a typical thing in an office right ) . While explaining combining with hand gestures and powerful speech the company believes in me that I will successfully finish the project . After utilization the technique our environment became vibrant and rich .

Challenge :
I am a part of the placement mentorship committee in an MBA school that conducts preparatory activities for first year students to get recruited in a mass placement process . This was scheduled to be one of the largest placement processes in the country in the forthcoming months . The process is highly competitive as also grueling to a certain extent . We observed , however , that students were not mentally prepared to anticipate the problem , and perform under stressful situations . Thus , after intense brainstorming sessions , visualization of scenarios , we came up with a few alternatives to address the demand for a way to make students well prepared in areas of group discussions and interviews : put the mental picture of the actual process in their psyche . Consequently we considered the idea of developing a comprehensive one day mock session for a batch of 500 students . This kind of a large scale event , was never seen before on campus , and although the problem hit right on the nail when addressing the inherent need - gap , it seemed to the 11 of us committee members like a really daunting task , that could go amiss quite easily . Thus , we really needed to test its viability- there came the idea of a learning launch technique .
Selection :
I selected this topic because of the crucial impact it would have on the performance of more than 500 people , and the quality of candidates that the companies would get . A problem of this magnitude , if implemented incorrectly can result in no value addition , and unnecessary waste of man - hours .
Application :
We had undergone the process of design thinking initially . So , we wanted to implements one learning launch session to ensure whether the idea can bear fruition . The 11 of us divided tasks amongst ourselves ; and gave a timeframe of 3 days to come to be trained and prepared in the different verticals . Herein , we wanted to test the assumption that lack of intensity and pressure were the only reasons for students to not perform at best during the actual interviews . So we took a small sample of second year students , who would be having placements in the next year to assess our assumptions . Although getting them to do this process was the toughest part , we did ensure their participation through persuasion . We ran a pilot of the process , and at the end had focus group discussions with the participants to determine the value added from the entire process .
Insights :
We successfully tested our assumptions , and realized that the model works . The high intense sessions did replicate the original day of placements , and helped candidates feel the heat to perform best . Based on the positive outcome , we also decided that this was the event we wanted to conduct and narrowed down our idea . But the session also enabled us to understand that pulling off the event is a huge task , and that we needed high level co - ordination to ensure the event is executed smoothly . We realized that it is crucial to implement the insights before and during full rollout .
Approach :
Given the fact that our committee had engaged in intense brainstorming sessions , we were , however , not on a structured path of exploring the problem at hand . That is when I had attended this lecture
series on design thinking . I had come up with the idea of going through this design thinking methodology and discussed it with the other members . We had an ethnographic understanding , explored ideas by interacting with colleagues , even faculty members . But the most impactful area was this learning launch stage . Soon , we are about to implement this idea , which will test the veracity of this entire process .

### Input: LEARNING LAUNCH – A reflection
Challenge :
I am a part of the placement mentorship committee in an MBA school that conducts preparatory activities for first year students to get recruited in a mass placement process . This was scheduled to be one of the largest placement processes in the country in the forthcoming months . The process is highly competitive as also grueling to a certain extent . We observed , however , that students were not mentally prepared to anticipate the problem , and perform under stressful situations . Thus , after intense brainstorming sessions , visualization of scenarios , we came up with a few alternatives to address the demand for a way to make students well prepared in areas of group discussions and interviews : put the mental picture of the actual process in their psyche . Consequently we considered the idea of developing a comprehensive one day mock session for a batch of 500 students . This kind of a large scale event , was never seen before on campus , and although the problem hit right on the nail when addressing the inherent need - gap , it seemed to the 11 of us committee members like a really daunting task , that could go amiss quite easily . Thus , we really needed to test its viability- there came the idea of a learning launch technique .
Selection :
I selected this topic because of the crucial impact it would have on the performance of more than 500 people , and the quality of candidates that the companies would get . A problem of this magnitude , if implemented incorrectly can result in no value addition , and unnecessary waste of man - hours .
Application :
We had undergone the process of design thinking initially . So , we wanted to implements one learning launch session to ensure whether the idea can bear fruition . The 11 of us divided tasks amongst ourselves ; and gave a timeframe of 3 days to come to be trained and prepared in the different verticals . Herein , we wanted to test the assumption that lack of intensity and pressure were the only reasons for students to not perform at best during the actual interviews . So we took a small sample of second year students , who would be having placements in the next year to assess our assumptions . Although getting them to do this process was the toughest part , we did ensure their participation through persuasion . We ran a pilot of the process , and at the end had focus group discussions with the participants to determine the value added from the entire process .
Insights :
We successfully tested our assumptions , and realized that the model works . The high intense sessions did replicate the original day of placements , and helped candidates feel the heat to perform best . Based on the positive outcome , we also decided that this was the event we wanted to conduct and narrowed down our idea . But the session also enabled us to understand that pulling off the event is a huge task , and that we needed high level co - ordination to ensure the event is executed smoothly . We realized that it is crucial to implement the insights before and during full rollout .
Approach :
Given the fact that our committee had engaged in intense brainstorming sessions , we were , however , not on a structured path of exploring the problem at hand . That is when I had attended this lecture
series on design thinking . I had come up with the idea of going through this design thinking methodology and discussed it with the other members . We had an ethnographic understanding , explored ideas by interacting with colleagues , even faculty members . But the most impactful area was this learning launch stage . Soon , we are about to implement this idea , which will test the veracity of this entire process .

Challenge
I am the Growth officer for a new startup I joined , which is in the early stage of it ’s growth which lot of potential to grow further . My team comprises of 4 members primarily tasked with the marketing efforts of the company . We are currently facing a challenge where we are experiencing a low conversion rate for one of our product lines , primarily led by lower number of leads when compared to the other products in our line - up . Continuous marketing efforts have been made across different social media channels with little to no results , ending up with a considerable marketing spend with no ROI . Using design thinking we will try to assess why our marketing campaigns are not working .
Selection
After going through the design thinking process from the start we decided to apply the learning launch tool according to Paul Zimmermann ’s lecture from week 4 . We felt this was an ideal tool for our marketing department which gives us the platform to perform rapid experiments with regards to our marketing campaigns and re - iterate according to the results obtained .
Application
As a starting point we decided to evaluate if the messaging and visuals we used on our social media channels had any impact on driving sales for the product . This would be our first learning launch . We chose one specific message on convenience of our product couple with visuals of customer testimonial quotes . This would test our assumption that customer validation in social media visuals had a significant impact on sales . As a second learning launch , we decided to evaluate a new social media channel Instagram that we had never used before . Would it be worth it spending more money on Instagram and what sort of stories should we be telling . This would test our hypothesis that our target market used Instagram more that they used facebook .
We felt these 2 learning launches will give us sufficient insights to tweak our marketing campaigns to deliver higher conversions and sales .
Insight
Wrt our first learning launch the expected results were more or less in line with our initial assumption that convenience of using our product was a more valued feature than all the other features of our product . Also , we learnt that customer validation from actual customers added a lot of weight to our social media posts . These key learning could be used for our next learning launch .
Wrt to our second learning launch , the results were different to what we expected . We saw the same number of leads from our Instagram post as the same image when posted on FB . This would be valuable learning when designing our next launch to determine if each social media channel required a different approach .
Approach
As mentioned before , what I would do differently using the same tool is to use different visuals for different social media channels to determine effectiveness . I would run parallel experiments and compare results . I would also use the tool storytelling to engage my audience better using short video
clips on different channels . All insights gained during the 1st two learning launches would be applied here , mainly that “ convenience ” should be the primary message during storytelling . We are confident that by doing more learning launches we will gain more insights and fine tune our marketing strategies on a large scale .

Challenge
I am a Business Development and Marketing Manager of an EdTech company . My company aims to provide software applications to connect schools , teachers , parents and students together . My mission is to search schools , teachers , parents and students to use our products daily . Because parents and students only use our products if schools also use ours too therefore to have schools in our ecosystem is the first and most important mission I have to achieve .
With a team of 10 persons our goal / challenge is to acquire at least 1,000 schools located in our city after 12 months with a limited budget .
Selection
Our team has used through many design thinking activities and tools to understand the market , the competition and our competitors , so we are ready to try the learning launch tool in acquisition schools then teachers , parents and students . This activity is an experiment meant to quickly test an idea and prototype .
Application
For our first learning launch , we focused on only 10 schools . With this 10 schools , we tried to provide an incentive package for each school and see how schools reacted to our incentive packages in becoming our clients . In particular , we wanted to see if we could change economic values , increase or decrease , of incentive packages to satisfy our goal , acquire at least 1,000 schools after 12 months with a very limited budget . Our team went through a month to approach the 10 schools .
For our second learning launch , we focused on other 40 schools . This tested our learning point in the first learning launch that we could decrease economic value of the package . We separated 40 schools into 2 groups : group 1 we used a decreased economic value of the incentive package ; group 2 we use a smaller economic value of the incentive package compare to the economic value we applied for group 1 . Our team also went through a month to approach 2 different groups .
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool , our team identified our assumptions and designed launches to test these assumptions . Additionally , we thought through anticipated results , expecting to find a more cost - effective way to acquire schools to meet the limitation of the budget . Our actual results were slightly different from what we anticipated : we can decrease the economic value more than our guess . Moving forward , our team will review this insight and incorporate it into future launch designs . The ongoing incorporation of insight is particularly important at this stage , as launches come before a full rollout in the design thinking timeline .
Approach
Given that our team has already gone through several design thinking activities / tools and are at this stage in the timeline , the learning launch is the appropriate tool . As previously mentioned , our team needs to review the insight gained from our first two launches and incorporate this insight into future launch designs . Future launch designs should reflect insight gained , progress made , and come closer to a compelling solution ready for full rollout .

Within my current responsibilities as managing partner of a strategic consulting firm , I have been leading several initiatives to create new software solutions that support our clients in improving management and optimizing the income generated by internal knowledge , intellectual property , and Intangible assets .
The need of our clients to obtain solutions that help them to manage their intangible portfolio in a better way has been becoming increasingly important . It is very difficult for them to know if these intangibles are really being applied in the best way to generate the best results in their organizations . More worrisome still . Nor do they know the risk they may be presenting due to the poor protection of these intangibles within the stakeholders of the organization .
Therefore , we have decided to generate a challenge in order to develop a software solution that allows the correct identification , classification and allocation for an organization 's intangible assets portfolio .
Selection
During our initial discovery process , we have identified multiple ideas that could support to solve the problem that this challenge presents to us . After reviewing several of the design thinking tools , we have decided to use the learning launch tool . We consider that this tool will allow us to perform several experiments in a short time , which will allow us to validate our hypothesis about the specific need , and confirm that our idea solves a problem in a better way than the alternatives currently offered in the market .
Application
The first step in applying our tool was to collect data to prove that our assumption was correct . After conducting some data analysis , we found fascinating results in a study conducted by Ocean Tomo . OT is one of the largest intellectual capital merchant banks . This firm has been studying the behavior and correlation between the average value of tangible assets vs. Intangible assets of the S&P 500 index during the last 40 years . The results of this study confirm that nowadays , approximately 87 % of the value of a company is intangible . Compared to the value of intangibles in the 1975 , which was around 17 % . This 70 % growth trend in the last 4 decades confirms our hypothesis about the importance of knowledge and strategy about the portfolio of intangibles in the modern economy .
Subsequently , we held ethnographic research sessions with some C - Level from our current clients , where we conducted a questionnaire with key questions about the current knowledge they have about their intangible assets . These questions generated important
concerns about lack of control and basic knowledge about how the organization 's portfolio of intangibles is managed . As well as obtaining important feedback on how these professionals thought that a tool could help them .
Finally , with the data obtained , we proceeded to generate an initial prototype which was tested in one of our clients ( company dedicated to Business Process Outsourcing services ) . This test created an important engagement with the client , as well as interesting results and areas of improvement where the prototype had great options to improve .
Insight
The result of our process has not only generated an important development to attack a problem of our clients , but , through the application of the prototype in a real situation , we have realized that we had not considered an important variable : the risk associated with the intangible asset leakage , loss , or competitors intellectual property infringement . This important finding was largely due to our client 's feedback . Thanks to your engagement during our test phase , we have been able to identify new opportunities for improvement . This insight has generated new additional development for algorithm that allows to identify alerts and risks to be able to take corrective actions in a short time .
Approach
For these types of challenges , I think that the learning launch tool is a very powerful , fast and concrete option , which I would use again in these types of situations . Personally , it has been a very rewarding experience . In the past , I would have addressed this type of problem making a business case , in which we would have spent a lot of time and the result would not have been the same , since the level of uncertainty in this type of situations is extremely high . Instead , with the application of the learning launch tool , I was able to obtain fast results , valuable collaboration and response from the client , as well as allowing us to redesign our solution to offer a better application .

conveying any message or the information from one person to other . In
todays challenging world Every sector is marching towards excellence and so competition also grow . So one need to be active learner in every phase of life and in the workplace many employees face same issues like , how to be
more innovative , how to be one step ahead of our competitor .
As many face this problem we need to solve this problem by conveying right
message to each employee and also make them aware of the challenge by storytelling and developing there skills , motivating them and make them
work in the right direction .
Application
So for the application of storytelling strategy there is most important thing that is human psychology that is in storytelling technique we need to have
such an approach that make sure the message or the information reach in the
right brain , in right way at right time .
One of such approach I had used in conveying the message in todays time where there is Economic slowdown because of impact put by COVID-19 on the business world . And here where many people are in Deep worry and
depression for there business due to lockdown . Here I am trying to motivate them by telling some success story of the one , Who are still excelling in this difficult situation , And it is said correctly that “ Where there is a will there is a
way ” .
Insight & approach
So here we know that for every problem there is solution and for dealing with

Challenge
As a professor , I am a member of the doctoral student council of my university . Our challenge is to improve the bad relationship between a supervisor and his doctoral candidate and save the project which they work on since there are just few months left to finish the project and defend it . The progress of the thesis heavily depends on the quality of the relationship between the student and the professor . The incident came to the council in a such way that both the student and the professor blame each other for being faulty for the relationship and they do not believe in each other ’s words anymore . We first want to understand the root cause of the problem and see if there is any misunderstanding , and identify the necessary actions to take .
Tool
We choose the tool of storytelling to solve the challenge above . We refer to the description of storytelling as a tool as stated in the video of Shawn Michaud , Global Leadership Development Director in Mars Inc. during this course . It is a tool that helps us understand what the people experience , their emotions , during that experience and their character and values . We also tell stories from our lives and create moments of reflection and propose solutions from our perspectives . We believed that this tool could also reveal unstated needs of the professor and the student during the project . As stated by Shawn Michaud , such approach could naturally reveal the possible solutions and which strategy to develop .
Application
A mediation meeting was planned . The student and the professor were visited prior to that mediation meeting by two professors from our departments . The complaints were identified . A dossier was created by the members of the council to have a general idea of the situation .
In the mediation meeting , both the teacher and the student were invited to the council . We asked the student to tell what he had gone through the project . His speech revealed his values and character . We have observed that the student ’s expectations did not match with his experience during this project and he tried hard to endure this disappointment . His project included some form of a trade secret of a company and therefore the publications were limited by the supervisor . The student was found to have hard times proving his skills during job interviews due to lack of publications .
The emotional and mental state of the student spiraled down the project and his relationship with the supervisor . We also found out that the student felt deeply betrayed since some of the verbal promises were broken by the supervisor . The student had indeed valued close interactions with other students by giving courses and doing seminars and going to the conferences . These opportunities had not existed under this supervisor , and the student had felt as a cheap labor who is micromanaged .
The council members also revealed that they had experienced some sort of similar problems with their students which hindered their performance . I personally found the supervisorship poor . This student did not have a employment contract but a doctoral contract . This meeting had become a self revealing movie . It was collaboratively decided that the research laboratory makes a slight payrise for the student and the funding company proposes to give a startup support to the student after obtaining his degree and student is left free for making publications outside the project in the last few months of the project . This approach made student gain his confidence and the student indeed made a patented work at the final sprint of the project .
Insight
We realized that our university could benefit better from the potential of the doctoral students by only slight changes in the work conditions and by developing closer relations with the students . As we include the emotions and values to the facts by the use of storytelling tool , the solution possibilities emerged by itself and strategy was developed rapidly . I also realized that I should spend more time with my students too , in coffee breaks , sport activities etc . and follow their emotional and mental state . We saw how only one tool of design thinking could solve such a complicated problem .
Approach
Alternatively , a visualization tool could be used for finding out the expectations of the student and the professor in ideal conditions during a project . I believed that story telling tool is more suited to such a complicated problem due to the reasons stated above . In conclusion , storytelling tool was suited because there could be hidden expectations and emotional problems in this student professor relationship .

We live in a digital world with plenty of other things that always disturb us from our tasks . And we always have so many things to do so mind mapping is our saving . Let ’s look what mind mapping is an easy way to brainstorm thoughts organically without worrying about order and structure . It allows you to visually structure your ideas to help with analysis and recall . A Mind Map is a diagram for representing tasks , words , concepts , or items linked to and arranged around a central concept or subject using a non- linear graphical layout that allows the user to build an intuitive framework around a central concept . A Mind Map can turn a long list of monotonous information into a colorful , memorable and highly organized diagram that works in line with your brain 's natural way of doing things . I usually work with huge amount of information so mind mapping was my key to put in order all necessary data . Sometimes it was hard to understand or to find what else do I need to do for my project . So I started with the map for the first time using that tools for my private life and after I arrange it to my work place . And things started to get easier . Mind Mapping helping me to see where should I work harder or what else do I need for completing some tasks . Also it is very useful tool for thinking and creating new ideas . Since everything in front of your eyes it is easier to see things clearly . The mind mapping perfectly came up to my challenge . Because working and thinking progress started to be easier and more progressive . I started to use it for all my unsolved problems and I saw how did it worked . So after , I decided to start doing Mind Mapping before the work even starts . And it helps me to move forward faster . The insight I gained from applying the Mind Mapping to my challenge were everything could be in order and it is not necessary to use a lot of paper and other staff if I can use online websites for it . I found out a lot of sites and apps that allow you to create it online . And it was one of my best days . Now I can see things differently and at the same time I can see it clearly . Also I realized that I can use Mind Mapping everywhere in my life . Not only when I create some new idea for the work process . SO my advise for everyone now is using the mind maps for life and for work . The next thing that I want to start using in my work / private life is visualization . I think it is also the great invention of modern life . Because with this skill you can do thinking process more interesting and obvious . It helps a lot , especially if you can not to express things that you have in your mind . So next step for me definitely will be visualization .

1 . Challenge
Three years ago , I had to lead a workshop in a French large bank , with a public of about twenty Business and IT executives .
The first part of the meeting was to show them the state of the art of the artificial intelligence technologies for creating new banking services .
The second part of the meeting was to identify and explore several possibilities for them to create new services for their customers , where we used mind mapping .
2 . Selection
The room for the meeting was well equipped , with walls where we can fix large papers and write and scotch post - it . We also had several tables where we can divide the population in small groups .
We have used this to create several mind maps , one for the whole group in order to collect ideas in a first step , and others – one for each group - to illustrate the ideas we collected . The mind mapping tool seems to be the best tool for this work because it is one of the most powerful tool of the design thinking toolbox , and it is perfectly adapted for contexts where we have to be creative and visual .
3 . Application
First , we have collected ideas : we have given each participant of the workshop several post - it where they had to write a small description of the ideas for the next challenges in their banking environment . We collected all these papers and we put them of the first global mind map . During this work , we have had about one hundred of ideas . We have visually organized these ideas on the paper fixed on the wall , and our graphical facilitator illustrated this with the different comment made by the participants . Them , with a collective voting process , we have selected the four most important challenges we wanted to explore .
Second , we have separated the participants in four groups . Each group had to explore one idea and imagine how can artificial intelligence address the challenge , by example with the creating of a new service , or y the improvement of an existing one . For the moment , the objective was only to illustrate IA in the challenge , and not to identify the solution ( this point was addressed later during a second workshop ) .
For this job , we have given the 4 groups , several magazines , markers , paper scissor , glue sticks and a large paper . They have to use all these materials to create a support for illustrate their subject . Our graphical facilitator was in the room , and he was moving from table to table to assist to groups in this work . We was also completing their work with illustrations with the markers .
At the end for this work , the four groups have shown their work in front of all participants , and to defend their ideas .
4 . Insight
The workshop was a success , and the use of mind mapping was a great idea , for the following reasons :
- it is a visual tool , and all participants understood easily the ideas shown of the papers .
- It is easy to create a collaborative approach inside the group , in a positive way . This leads to the emergence of a large number of ideas and comments
- We had at the end of the meeting a support with the paper constituted together , wich was part of the minute of the workshop
5 . Approach
I’am very satisfied for the use of mind mapping for this meeting but one lesson I learned was about the timekeeping . Once the participants are launched in their cutting work for magazines and sticking them in a large paper , the wanted to be perfectionists and it is easy for them to get lot in graphical useless details . When we organize such meeting , I now think that we have to define a maximal time for the work and to announce in the beginning of the workshop that the most important if not the graphical quality of the mind map , but the ideas they find .
Second important point for this case : I have given whole magazines to the participants and they have to find the picture before cutting and sticking them . If I have to redo such workshop , I would directly prepare a large set of picture and cutting myself the magazines in order to facilitate their work . I think that this preliminary job is a good accelerator for this kind ofmeeting .

Challenge & Selection
Mind mapping is a great tool to unravel the necessities of the demography and figuring out their actual needs as it allows extensive ways to find out a better outline for fixing up the product . I used this method to get them open up and come up with my strategies . I was having a hard time to establish a fruit drink delivery service with the local vendors in the time of lockdown due to Corona and Ramadan time . Connecting the local offline shops and finding out what flavors to introduce with reaching to customers was the challenge itself . Visualizing the workflow was helped creating the user personas was a way to start for me as the mind mapping tool suggests leading to forming design criteria for future expansion .
Application
The service that I planned was under the name of “ Salam Juice ” which needed the interlink with the customers . For mind mapping procedure I wanted to have learning mindset , broad repertoire and customer empathy . A target - based customer criterion was formed and a thorough interview was done with few of the regular customer from the offline juice shops in the first place . The customers feedback helped me to choose three of those physical outlets , then I tried to understand the demands from the shop holders . I gave them pen and paper to jot down their expectation , which did n’t prove to be very effective , but having a rough sketch of what they want surely helped me having further decisions . Now , it was time for knowing the wider range of customer that I was trying to target initially . Social media helped on that regard a lot , as I made a google - form with questionnaires and shared with few of my friends in Facebook who fitted the gauge of my plan . It was not satisfying me so I shared the questionnaires in multiple Facebook food groups , though the response was n’t something overwhelming , it was a solid outline for me to depict the flavor choices according to the persona criterion that I built , with gender , age , income and education level , location of residence and some other relevant information .
By now to this portion , I already know what customers want and I had to understand the feasibility and understand whether the economy can sustain as well . The design elements as how to represent the service and make them loyal to our service was also palpable , because of the mind mapping process .
Insight
What I learned , that the customer empathy is a very crucial factor for designing a service . The questionnaire allowed me to have formal data which will ease up the future mind mapping process and I concluded that a constant observation of behavior patterns is necessary . Surface assumptions were made and small experimentation was done with the likes of learning launch tool which was facilitated heavily with the mind mapping tool .
By using the mind mapping tool , I justified my assumptions and designed the service accordingly . The anticipated system went through some modification as per the customer driven strategy . The marketing insight developed and the customer behavior analysis helped to reach them in a better way . Moving ahead , the delivery service needed some attention and it was dealt with the previous learning . The total process of addressing the problem enabled me to understand the market gap of any potential service , which led to idea generation for future projects .
Approach
Given the fact I was helped by the mind mapping tool , I find other tools like visualization , storytelling and learning launch to be very interesting and useful tool . Shared insights are very important learning as per the mind mapping tool but combining the process can be aided hugely by starting with the visualization tool , followed by connecting a story with any new design is a fascinating concept itself , yet it seems one of the harder one to crack . So , I plan to use the storytelling tool the first , the time I do a project . The customers seem to react to stories better so , having a application of storytelling tool with the design of a product does incite a lot of exiting insights . Mind mapping is a vital tool I will stick with a long time while discovering the budding opportunity of other tools .

Shared insights are very important learning as per the mind mapping tool but combining the process can be aided hugely by starting with the visualization tool , followed by connecting a story with any new design is a fascinating concept itself , yet it seems one of the harder one to crack . So , I plan to use the storytelling tool the first , the time I do a project . The customers seem to react to stories better so , having a application of storytelling tool with the design of a product does incite a lot of exiting insights . Mind mapping is a vital tool I will stick with a long time while discovering the budding opportunity of other tools .

Challenge :
As a software engineer freelancer , my biggest challenge was to describe how my
program works and what are the steps that I would be taking in order to solve the problems to my clients through a video meeting or even worse through chat .
Selection :
After completing the course I started implementing visualization , which is a tool that
consists of easing the consumption of data to ordinary people in order to facilitate detecting patterns and drawing actionable conclusions . Application :
First , I started incorporating visualization techniques over video meetings . I started
to show only the part of the code that was interesting without diving into all the functions which worked great when my client were a little proficient in programming but did n’t yield much difference otherwise , it also was n’t possible to do this over chat which was frustrating . I moved to another method , which was UML , UML is a modeling language in the field of software engineering that is intended to provide a standard way to visualize the design of a system . It made a huge impact in my communication with my clients as it simplicity and graphics made the ideas flow better and the conversations more fruitful .
Insight & approach :
I learned a lot from visualization , the most important point was that not all people
understand what I say even when they say so , implementing UML with my clients not only made them understand my approach to creating their desired programs but also invited them to engage more and add suggestions which helped creating more sophisticated programs that met their needs .
Since I ’m transitioning towards the analytics field , I made sure that I do n’t only learn
the theories but also create useful visualization and graphics to improve the collaboration experience .

So the challenge in my case is the implementation of a new Performance Management System ( PMS ) in an organization . The organization ( let ’s name it Innovate Ltd. ) has so far followed the traditional approach of PMS wherein the entire process takes place in a paper - pen format . The employee fills out his own appraisal forms , hands it over to the manager for review , they may have a discussion over the employee ’s performance during or post which the manager fills in his comments in the employee ’s appraisal form and submits it to the higher authority for approval or further discussion if needed before finalizing the performance rating . Innovate Ltd. has lately been getting a lot of grievances from employees expressing dissatisfaction with their performance ratings and hence wants to
1 . Figure out the root cause leading to dissatisfaction with the process 2 . Increase the level of transparency in the process , since the management feels the
employee will be a lot more aware of his possible ratings if he can see his manager ’s or super - manager ’s comments on his performance
3 . Implement an easier and faster PMS which would replace the pen - paper process
Selection : So for my challenge , I have decided to use two of the tools of design thinking at two different stages of problem resolution .
1 . Mind Mapping : this tool would be used as a precursor to the whole PMS
transformation . As we know mind mapping helps us to explore the though process of our customers ( in this case the employees ) in a very close manner . So the idea behind using this tool is to understand the actual though process of our employees at Innovate with regards to the existing PMS , its pros and cons , the challenges they face as its ultimate stakeholders , their areas of concern and their expectations from the PMS .
2 . Learning Launch : Mind Mapping is going to give us a big homework here , and once
we have worked upon it and come out with something interesting during the homework ( the prototype of our new PMS ) , Learning Launch will be used to validate the outcome of our homework for its perceived effectiveness . Like the IBM trade show , we would go about doing small tests to interact with our employees and gather their feedback on our homework ’s output .
Application :
1 . To gather data on employee perception about existing and expected PMS , we chose to
use mind mapping . The Innovate workplace layout is arranged in the form of what we can call bays . Each bay consists of seating arrangement for 6 employees connected to a vertical common passage which leads to the exit of the bay - room . A bay room is a collection of 5 bays . To use mind mapping , we pasted blank charts with “ PMS ” written on the center in each bay before the official work hours for the day began . Next to the chart we kept a short instruction sheet which stated the employees in one bay could use the chart in their bay to write or draw anything that came to their mind about PMS . They were given a time of 2 working days to fill up the chart . On the second day , we added an
additional message on the instruction sheet that post collection of all bay - charts at the end of the deadline , the employees would get a set of surprises eventually . Our idea behind the chart was to entice the creative thinking of our employees , get them to put in their thoughts as they liked and as openly as possible by making it a group effort and anonymous . Secondly the deadline was to ensure we had some closure on the time - frame so that we could start working on our homework and finally the surprise aspect , we felt , would encourage the employees to actively fill in their bay - charts anticipating some reward / appreciation for their effort .
2 . After collection of all ideas and thought processes of our employees , we set forth on our
mission to develop a new PMS prototype incorporating all feasible expected aspects stated by our employees in their charts and avoiding scope for repetition of any existing challenge or con of the system in the new prototype . So we came up with the idea of an online PMS portal which would enable all the stakeholders to view each other activity subject to some restrictions by virtue of authority which we believed would increase the transparency of the whole process . We decided to conduct learning launches of our new prototype for which we developed a mini - PMS model and made a surprise launch within a week of closure of the mind mapping activity . The following week ’s first working day , we launched the prototype to our employees as a default launch on system login . The employees had to work around the online system as per the instructions and then rate the system on various parameters ( a smiley based rating scale was used ) along with an open ended feedback section to detail further possible improvements . The launch feedback was also gathered through the concept of “ mystery shoppers ” wherein we assigned two “ interns ” to each bay - room who had the task of gathering any relevant aspect on PMS from the casual conversations among the employees in the room during the launch test period . This feedback along with the feedback captured in the system would be used to further enhance our PMS prototype .
Insight : Our initial perception about the challenge was that we just needed to make the system more transparent to reduce all grievances and this could be just done through an online system . We however decided to go ahead and explore the “ blind - spots ” using design thinking tools o that the investment of time and money we would make to put in place a new system was n’t a short term win but a sustainable one . So initially we realised during the mind mapping process that PMS is a very sensitive area and extracting feedback about it would not be easy as one the first day of the chart activity hardly any of the chart had any input from the employees . So we decided to play with the human mind which is always in for surprises , by incentivizing the activity . ( 2 days after the closure of the activity we awarded bay with most inputs and those with most creative inputs with goodies ) . We need to always find ways to elicit participation from our customers . Secondly we realised that any problem solving would be a lot easier when the ultimate customer felt involved with the resolution process . By the launch the prototype within a week of the chart
activity closure , the employees felt they were a part of the whole activity and that they could add value to building the PMS as their views were being sincerely worked upon . ( Again the best suggestions for improvement in the launch feedback were recognised to encourage more open suggestions ) . Approach : We arrived at the final design of the PMS when we had a fair share or positive employee feedback through our series of learning launches . While selection of the tools and their application worked well in this case , I feel the learning launches iteration in cases of a prototype of a system as big and significant as a PMS might not be “ fast and cheap ” under all circumstances especially when rolling it out to every single employee and getting their feedback to be worked upon . In such cases may be we could use a story telling system where in through say a role - play workshop ( or similar kind ) we could convey our prototype to the employees and openly harness their feedback instantaneously to make changes and validate it as well .

Challenge and Selection The tool I used is Mind Mapping , to look for patterns and insights in the comments of
my team during the pandemic . The challenge we have is to develop a nice system of
communication that will allow us to share information easily and to maintain a sense
of purpose and belonging in the team and also not decrease productivity . The organization is digitally centered , we develop a design and video templates that
anyone can make online and use for their business . But , we have never worked
remotely before , so we have to face the new challenge of team communication so
the workflow could work in these conditions . During the firsts weeks with this
modality of working , the operative members start to wonder how they can migrate
their necessities of the normal pipeline into the work from home scheme . We receive
many questions , and also some complaints about the organization system . Some of the key concepts the admin team have to start working on were : How does
the backup system would work out if we could not use the server remotely , How we
could keep the same sense of purpose and collaboration in the team , How can we
give the necessary information to each member so they could work individually and
resolve their doubts if they will not be anyone there to help them , How can we still
keep and touch and have active listening to share concerns and make
improvements . After we identify the main problems we were facing as a team , with the comments of
the members . I decided to implement the design tool of the Mind Mapping , so we
could easily visualize the possible options to resolve the inconveniences that the
pandemic can cause into the team . And then start to make some tests about those
options and get insights with the team . Application I start the process by putting in the center of the canvas the context of the problem ,
in this case it ’s the “ Home Office Dynamic ” and then with the previous brainstorm
ideas of the questions I write the main concept that represents a particular challenge .
Then some ideas of the possible solutions we could apply . For example , some of the concerns we get from the team was that in remote working
they lose touch with their team , and sometimes feel disconnected from the vision
and goal of the whole company . In that way we set the challenge “ Keep sense of
Purpose ” and then think about some actions we could do to in order to solve this
problem , some of them are : Apply daily scrum virtual meetings , discuss big picture
goals in monthly meetings and recognize achievements weekly to each person of the
team . Here is the whole goals and actions we develop :
Insight & Approach After visualizing these ideas in the mind mapping we start with a small group of people to
test out the improvements we thinked about . For example , with changing the backup system
for the files , we needed to set a guide for follow the new steps , and to send that information
to test with a small group of people . After a week , they give us feedback , which results in
very positive insights . Each person could save 10 minutes a day to backup their files using
dropbox and not the odl server ( which has a much longer process to connect remotely ) . After
that we implement the whole system to the rest of the team , so in total , we save per week
1,550 minutes into my team of 23 people . With the communication improvements we test the new ideas to the whole team , but after
two weeks we asked for their feedback , which was also very positive , but still we made some
changes to make until the process felt smooth and easy for everyone . This includes training
for the new tool we started to use . After three weeks the complaints about the
communication system were eradicated . The same happened with the rest of the goals we got , and some of them are still in process ,
but I ’m glad that now I got more understanding of these design tools in the big picture that
could help to keep improving my team dynamics .

Challenge
I am part of a small startup company that aims to identify and bring convenient services to our customers . These services include supplying and delivering industrial cleaning chemicals and equipment as well as providing cleaning services . The cleaning services include professional carpet and upholstery cleaning services . Recently the company has been looking to expand to include more services that can be directed towards households rather than the corporate space only . The company came up with several ideas and one of the ideas that stood out was to provide customers with laundry services . However , the company faced many challenges with describing the financial feasibility of the idea as well as the overall value it would bring to the customer .
Selection
In week 4 of Design thinking , Hakan Wendt mentions that the learning launch process begins with a hypothesis or an idea . Given that the process of idea generation has already taken place and there is an idea that the company can work with , I have selected the learning launch tool . The learning launch tool is a quick and cost - effective way to set up and test an idea or assumption that one has made regarding the customer . This tool allows us to make real - life tests to validate or invalidate the idea or assumption .
Application
To begin with , we put together a team that would be part of the process . This team was comprised of all members of the company given that the company is a small startup . The first task of the team was to state what would have to be true , as Ed Hess puts it , for the laundry service idea to be deemed a good idea . The statements or assumptions made in the first task would have to be validated in some way , so for the next task , the team set out to find data to support these assumptions . This was done by surveying residents of three different housing complexes located across Johannesburg . The main question in the survey was to discover to what extent did customers need laundry services .
After evaluating the results from the survey , the team was ready to create a prototype of the idea that could be quickly implemented . This included installed just one heavy duty washing machine and dryer in the three housing complexes to see how the customers take to the real- life implementation of the idea at a small scale .
Insight & Approach
The insights that we gathered from using the learning launch tool are that some of the assumptions we made about people needing a laundry service were true and some of them had no truth to them , they were mere speculations . For instance , we had assumed that
location was not a main concern for customers but , we found out that the location of the laundry service was a concern for customers . We also gained insights into other factors that we did not originally have any assumptions about . This indicated to us that perhaps we needed to incorporate other design thinking tools to help us find out what customers want .
In the future , we plan on using the learning launch design tool along with other design thinking tools to help us better understand the customer . A tool such as visualization could help us better understand the customer and come up with even more innovative ideas .

### Input: Design thinking tool – Learning Launch
Challenge
I am part of a small startup company that aims to identify and bring convenient services to our customers . These services include supplying and delivering industrial cleaning chemicals and equipment as well as providing cleaning services . The cleaning services include professional carpet and upholstery cleaning services . Recently the company has been looking to expand to include more services that can be directed towards households rather than the corporate space only . The company came up with several ideas and one of the ideas that stood out was to provide customers with laundry services . However , the company faced many challenges with describing the financial feasibility of the idea as well as the overall value it would bring to the customer .
Selection
In week 4 of Design thinking , Hakan Wendt mentions that the learning launch process begins with a hypothesis or an idea . Given that the process of idea generation has already taken place and there is an idea that the company can work with , I have selected the learning launch tool . The learning launch tool is a quick and cost - effective way to set up and test an idea or assumption that one has made regarding the customer . This tool allows us to make real - life tests to validate or invalidate the idea or assumption .
Application
To begin with , we put together a team that would be part of the process . This team was comprised of all members of the company given that the company is a small startup . The first task of the team was to state what would have to be true , as Ed Hess puts it , for the laundry service idea to be deemed a good idea . The statements or assumptions made in the first task would have to be validated in some way , so for the next task , the team set out to find data to support these assumptions . This was done by surveying residents of three different housing complexes located across Johannesburg . The main question in the survey was to discover to what extent did customers need laundry services .
After evaluating the results from the survey , the team was ready to create a prototype of the idea that could be quickly implemented . This included installed just one heavy duty washing machine and dryer in the three housing complexes to see how the customers take to the real- life implementation of the idea at a small scale .
Insight & Approach
The insights that we gathered from using the learning launch tool are that some of the assumptions we made about people needing a laundry service were true and some of them had no truth to them , they were mere speculations . For instance , we had assumed that
location was not a main concern for customers but , we found out that the location of the laundry service was a concern for customers . We also gained insights into other factors that we did not originally have any assumptions about . This indicated to us that perhaps we needed to incorporate other design thinking tools to help us find out what customers want .
In the future , we plan on using the learning launch design tool along with other design thinking tools to help us better understand the customer . A tool such as visualization could help us better understand the customer and come up with even more innovative ideas .

- Pushpalatha Bisht ,
Legal Designer & Lawyer
Co - Founder &
Lead , Business Operations
Legal Design Arc
Visualization Challenge & Selection
Being a legal designer , we understand that law is complex and this slices it away from its effective application . As a legal designer I decided to use visualization as a tool to develop legal courses for the acts to help students better understand these concepts . I decided to use a storyboard to explain the Right to Information Act in India . This will help the students achieve a practical understanding of the concepts and help their future clients effectively .
Application
The following steps were taken by me to develop this storyboard : -
1 . Deciding on the key elements required to make someone understand the Right to Education Act . This
required consideration of the frequently asked questions regarding this act .
2 . Then I started deciding on the best manner of describing these elements , experimented with
characters , objects , icons , personifications to develop the flow .
3 . Developed the elements like a woman who needed information regarding one of her job applications
with a government department .
4 . I then went on to decide the flow of the story and the application of the elements . 5 . There were three things that had to be kept in mind while developing it first , the conceptual
explanation of the Act ; Second , the procedural understanding of the Act ; Third the cases that are key to the Act .
6 . Then I went on to develop a storyline to explain all the three things to students . 7 . After I had the narration and the storyline with me I started to develop the visual depiction of the
story .
While developing the story I decided to include various stories and conversations where the main character ( the woman ) is trying to understand the process and how different people tell her how to follow the procedure , the different requirements for the Application and the various people who are responsible to make this information available to the applicant . The grievance redressal mechanism and the cases which have been key in deciding on the view of the courts .
Insight & Approach
While developing this storyboard what I understood was that : -
1 . The viewpoints of each stakeholder will be different . Their questions and their experiences are
motivated by their own requirements .
2 . Therefore , the story needs to speak of the problems of each of them . The description can not be
standalone and should cater to all the stakeholders in the given scenarios .
3 . The identification of problems will lead to an identification of the key characters / elements for the
story .
4 . The story needs to be immersive as it is a one sided conversation , the key concepts need to be
understood by the students .
5 . The importance of conveying effectively also requires a well - timed story which reveals step by step
and does not overwhelm the reader with too much information at once .

Challenge & Selection
At our online store , we have electronic software / services distribution ( ESD ) available for our customers in Latin America . One of the challenges is understand which approach on products presentation , page layouts and content , tend to convert better with our customers . The tool that I used was Learning launch to test ideas proposed . In the company , we need to experiment , learn and put as soon as possible the best idea to work due the dynamic of the business . The business objective is to increase sales of gaming memberships ( like Xbox Live , EA Access or PSN memberships ) through our Online Store , our main audience are gamers and the traffic to the site allows us to get statistical confidence in few weeks which is really good to learn and improve quickly from the experiments .
Application
First of all , we evaluated the current data that we had from our gaming section in the Online Store . The customer journey seemed healthy almost over the year : the traffic was high , the bounce rate low than the average and the conversion was three times over the average of the site . However we started to receive some feedback ( post - purchase verbatims ) that suggested that our layout could improve : even with high sales , sometimes customers opined that they found the journey very large to find the subscription : many clicks and many modules in the page . Also some people wanted to understand how to get the most from their gaming memberships . In the site everything was around to sell since we thought that the memberships were already well known and the sales “ proved ” our theory . But improvements maybe prove that we can increase and engage more users .
We generated several layouts , most of them with well - proven storytelling modules that worked in other categories . We showed first to a small group that we have contact through our product managers , these people could give us more insights about them and help us to filter for the best ones . In that phase , gamers group and the team worked to get the two best ones to test against the current layout . One discovery in that phase was that the selected layouts from groups were more focused in lifestyle or games images , more detailed benefits text and CTAs ( call - to - action ) than the traditional modules : clickable product image with generic description .
Then we tested in the platform the control versus the two challengers . The control was more like generic product presentation layout , the challenger one a full benefits storytelling modules and the challenger two a mix of both layouts . For the test also we put in place a post purchase survey to get more opinions about the gamer experience . With that , we not only get the best idea . The feedback was good and also gave us more ideas around the gamer experience in our Online Store . Both phases , the “ internal ” with the team and gamers group were helpful to decide which layout could meet customer need at the purchase moment and generate more conversions .
Insights & Approach
It was the first time we conducted a test in that way , with many phases and very valuable input from our customers and third party point of view ( gamers group ) . Usually we design the layouts , put in the platform and focus in kpis to select the best one , but just based on what we think and expect , especially
for revenue , not on customer thoughts and needs . This last part I emphasized our team that in mid / long - term will give us great results . The layout chosen was more about the mix of storytelling + the traditional e - commerce modules and now we see more engagement in the page and also the initial conversion increased by 0.5pts . which is a good signal of the experiment . Also with the feedback we found new opportunities to improve in other stages of the customer journey .
The main thing for these type of experiments is to find the right time to deploy them . As mentioned the dynamics of e - commerce sometimes do n’t allow to take much time . But the team is now convinced that finding right periods and get direct customer feedback than experiment kpis is a better approach .

1 . Challenge and Selection
The tool that I will use is the Storytelling tool , As a school leader I encountered diverse of person or stakeholders This tool will help me to find solutions to the problem we encountered in school . Storytelling Tool is a fundamental part of every great brand . Every great product , every great service , every great institution has a story behind it . And that story connects to the emotions , the characters , the values of the people that live that product every day . As school leader story telling is always been a part of my life . As Andre Martin told us this the tool that leaders can used as opposed just an aid in our brand ’s and the products that we give to people . Storytelling says it ’s not about the list of things we have to do , it ’s about the connection that we give to people about a piece of information that we ’re trying to share . One of the challenge that I encountered are the presence of non - readers in our school . These non - readers will affect the performance of school . Storytelling as Moore says is difference between solving a problem and creating a cause , but because of the storytelling that I conducted in the parents and teachers of teachers we address this problem .
2 . Application
I started the process was to analyze the data submitted by the teacher , Based from the result it shows that the non - readers in Grade I - III is 32 pupils out 172 pupils or 18.6 % . I also conducted informal interview to pupils and parents . After we analyze the result series of orientation will be conducted to teachers , pupils and parents to present the proposal . In the orientation we used the storytelling tool . My first orientation is for the teachers I presented to them the data and asking what will we do to address this problem . Next is I oriented the parents , as Mr Martin says we have to know our audience , because a good story is designed for the audience , I used words that are familiar to the I did not use difficult words , I speak their local dialect to understand fully what I am saying . I see to it that when I told a story it was properly sequenced . I also ask questions from time to time and let the audience answered . By asking questions I can truly understand them . This will help to address the problem we are solving .
3 . Insight and Approach
What I have learned from conducting this exercise that storytelling is important in dealing with other people . Sometimes I find difficult in dealing with people , when I present I used power point to present not thinking what they want and if they can understand me . As a leader , storytelling it makes it simple , it makes it relate - able , it gives strategy color , and life In character and plot . It is also an essential tool for leaders to become competent and experts in as we move forward . It also helps me makes sense of an organization
Since I discovered that storytelling is a great help of being a leader in dealing of people I will used it series of activities .

Challenge & Selection :
Storytelling is a great tool that I use all the time . I work with team of some entry level employee , MT- who has just passed the college and also some are there in the company for a much longer duration . While the old employee in the team have got adjusted , the new lot need lots of handholding so that they can effectively understand the system / Process and the technical knowledge of the General Insurance Product . I spend a lot of time “ opening people up ” and finding ways to inspire them to improve understanding on the subject matter and take interest in the company objective for the mutual growth . When I work with seniors in the team , we share stories for different reasons . Often they have issue with respect to the previous appraisal and felt that they are being sidelined or their growth path is not being chalked out . I use their feedback against the context of my story to ascertain their goals , and sometimes we use stories to better understand their challenge , interest and thought processes . I use this information to develop different strategies to try and find a way that works for them to gain more confidence so that they can grow in their carrier and its win - win situation for all of us in the team .
Application :
I have a story about using storytelling . In discussing policy changes with a new recruited- MT , 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 . The MT was going with some trouble time with respect to the personal health and some family issue . The clients and channel were chasing him hard for timely delivery of the service however he was not able to address the issue at professional level because of his personal problems and he was getting bogged down with all the escalation and his performance was getting further dropped . I listened to him with open heart and empathized with him . I explained how sometimes addressing the needs of one individual can impact everyone for the better , even if it seems extreme or out of the ordinary . I told a story about when I had a similar situation in the past when one of my colleague and close friend had a similar trouble at both personal / professional life . I had extended some moral support and had extended some support to finish the work for my friend and given him some breather to manage the trouble he was facing in the family . and the same friend had supported me on another instance when I was looking for some help and in both the situation we managed the official work so effectively that no one in the company could take a clue of the issue & we won the team of the year award in that period .
Insight & Approach :
Well , that was an ice – breaker . This story worked really well for him as he really needed individual attention for that brief time , and he ended up with that and a true support . I asked him if he has made any close friend in the team who can back him up but since he was new , he lacked bonding . I offered him couple of days off , and took his responsibility and shared some work among my other teammates . After a gap of 10 days when he joined , he was amazed to see that there was no pending escalation / service issue . He thanked all the teammates and took download on all the development in his absence . I feel really happy to share that he eventually went to become the super - performer of the
team and is now actually leading a team and has the same level of empathy for his juniors . Sometimes a little story can do a lot of good . This course made me see this as a tool in a new way . When I 've done it before it was really " ad hoc , " but now I can prepare ahead and think of stories that will assist me in presenting my ideas and best illuminate them . I had no idea this would ever be considered an asset , but I am so very grateful that it is !

### Input: Reflection – Storytelling
Challenge & Selection :
Storytelling is a great tool that I use all the time . I work with team of some entry level employee , MT- who has just passed the college and also some are there in the company for a much longer duration . While the old employee in the team have got adjusted , the new lot need lots of handholding so that they can effectively understand the system / Process and the technical knowledge of the General Insurance Product . I spend a lot of time “ opening people up ” and finding ways to inspire them to improve understanding on the subject matter and take interest in the company objective for the mutual growth . When I work with seniors in the team , we share stories for different reasons . Often they have issue with respect to the previous appraisal and felt that they are being sidelined or their growth path is not being chalked out . I use their feedback against the context of my story to ascertain their goals , and sometimes we use stories to better understand their challenge , interest and thought processes . I use this information to develop different strategies to try and find a way that works for them to gain more confidence so that they can grow in their carrier and its win - win situation for all of us in the team .

My challenge was to facilitate the re - building of a department concerning the teamwork , motivation and engagement . Selection One of the approaches used during the workshop was what I call “ visual brainstorming ” – the question was : “ how is the company of your dreams ? ” . All colleagues attending the workshop had only one blank flip chart paper to draw together the company of their dreams . I chose this technique because it strengthens the teamwork . Application First I asked them the question above and gave them some time to think about it . After I told them that the idea was to draw the future we dream together . Technique rules :
1 . every one participates 2 . one per time 3 . no conversation / dialogue allowed 4 . just “ small ” draws per time 5 . until a “ big ” draw made together is done
Insight & Approach By the end of this exercise , we had an inspiring draw and all colleagues had the chance to say how they felt doing it – it was really interesting listening to them , especially when they were explaining what they had in mind in the beginning , which was changing along the exercise in order to build only one draw together with the others . This exercise showed me that when an idea is built together with others , all of them feel part of it , consequently we have more engagement , in spite of the final result looks different from the individual initial idea .

Challenge and Selection
The main challenges we faced with the implementation of our online purchase and delivery system of products to some areas in our country were the educating the relevant stakeholders ( necessary staff etc ) about this new service and efficiency in the delivery of the product .
My selection of a design tool was Visualization .
Visualization is about visual thinking and using images . It pushes us beyond using words or language alone . If you present your idea by drawing a picture of it , you reduce the possibility of unmatched mental models . A simple sketch can tell more about an idea in a few minutes Adding elements to drawings or simply discussing the sketches helps to build on each other ’s ideas drawing of images can benefit our understanding of how the idea unfolds through different stages of the service provided particularly when generating new ideas
Application
We recently introduced Online Shopping from our website as part of our modernization of the company . So we used this Visualization tool to inform , get ideas and input from team members and other stakeholders and try to test the system and procedure a customer goes through from time of purchasing items in cart to the time of delivery of the products .
We used a dry erase white board to draw stick figures , simple images and labels to create a basic diagram with the steps in this process . Each step also gives a few points on the team members involved and the average time he / she would take .
This outlined in very simple terms with the aid of the pictures the system we came up with and was easy to engage all stakeholders since they are from various backgrounds .
Insights
A lot of insight was gained after this process . For example , the timing for each stage in our provision of the service was updated . Insight was also achieved from the number of stakeholders involved through external companies and back up plans were put in place for pop up challenges .
Approach
This design tool helped us in putting out and sharing ideas for this service , however during the second phase we would try to incorporate some other tools like storytelling so that stakeholders / customers can be more emotionally connected to the service .

TOOL SELECTED : MIND - MAPPING
Challenge : Describe your challenge , including all relevant information .
The tool I used was mind - mapping to address the following challenge:-
Complaints are being received by the Ms. Thomas - a new manager of a branch of a mid - sized credit union in the local market , who recently received a low score on the branch ’s customer satisfaction survey .
Having come from a progressive financial services conglomerate , Ms. Thomas has used the mind- mapping Design Thinking tool in the past and is confident that the mind - mapping tool would be successful in bringing about formidable and innovative solutions for her new employer .
Ms. Thomas was aware of some complaints which were received in numerous forms:-
• Emails containing angry tones , with customers threatening to leave the credit union giving little to no details
• handwritten notes on forms from walk - in customers ,
• reports from staff - members who would report experiencing explosive reactions from customers at the front desk from e - mails
Ms. Thomas required a mind - map to help outline the myriad of information through interactivity and contributions by various stakeholders and organize the information so it ’s understood by executive sponsors .
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 ) .
“ 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 . This phase is pivotal in the design thinking process . Mind mapping provides a segway from what is to what if . ” – Week 3 : Video -Mind Mapping Tool Mind maps uses a diagram to visually organize ideas and concepts and is used to help structure information to gain a better understanding . When faced with customers and very irate ones at that , it is tempting to yield quickly to a solution to dissipate the current situation . However , given Ms. Thomas ’ experience she knows that ‘ knee - herk ’ solutions are not the answer . Ms. Thomas desired to capture as much ideas as possible using a ‘ blank canvas ’ approach in an environment like a ‘ drop in gallery ’ . The mind - mapping tool help make information stand - out via visual cues provided and where persons look for patterns and insights that would promote rapid understanding that would later provide key design criteria into how to solve the current challenge .
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 ) .
Ms. Thomas assigned a specific wall space outside her office to display information presented as post- it - notes . The information on the post - it notes were taken from the various channels that customers used to provide feedback – via company ’s customer service mailbox , feedback forms , reports from customer service staff , customer satisfaction surveys and back - end customer service support staff . Ms. Thomas designated 6 of her employees as Workstream Leaders who would ‘ own ’ one of the customer feedback channels and update new insights . This approach built energy , interest and commitment with employees walking by and seeing this visual display , which evoked curiosity and healthy discussions and displayed varied perspectives ( sometimes multiples perspectives on the same piece of information displayed ) . The Workstream Leaders also facilitated ad hoc decisions generating more ideas , including ethnographic interview results . This process of gathering ideas was within a 2 - day timespan .
On the 3rd day of using the mind - mapping tool , thankfully there were several post - it - notes with rich information from contributors . What happened next was sorting through each of the post - it - notes and patterns in information started emerge and post - it - notes were re - arranged in ‘ like ’ clusters in sectioned- off areas in the wall space .
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 ) .
Even though the information looked familiar , it was an insightful reminder that people process information in different ways and thus the visual display facilitated discussion on common experiences yet with different perspectives . The mind - mapping tool gave way to a creative environment and inspired deeper commitments from employees to follow through on action - items that were discussed because they were invested in resolving the challenge .
For instance , in this particular challenge , these were some of the creative ideas that arose that we clustered into like groups . See sample below
Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why .
It all starts with the basics . While mind - mapping design thinking tool allows people to gain an overview by way of viewing and contributing many sources of information to generate ideas , employees should have been educated on what was being done and why they were doing it this way .
It was observed that employees are already inundated with large files and thick reports in carrying - out their daily duties . Ms. Thomas decided on the mind - mapping tool was a creative way to stimulate their brains , passion creativity rather than looking at yet another long - winded report about the current challenge .
Improvement was also noted in application of the mind - mapping tool , in that in some cases there were too many words . Some contributions to the mind - map could have included photos , pictures or images which can / will give powerful insights . This slightly diminished the true essence of the mind- mapping design tool of a ‘ visual overview ’ .

Challenge and Selection :
I am a member of a bank ’s Transformation and Change department and my challenge was to merge 3 different customer onboarding processes into a single streamlined process to achieve operational efficiencies and improve transparency . The project scope involved a variety of internal stakeholders such as 3 customer onboarding teams , the technology support team , customer relationship management team and external stakeholders such as brokers and technology vendors . Managing and aligning stakeholders ’ understanding , objectives and expectations with the that of the project team was a key driver to the project ’s success .
Selection
I used the tool of Visualisation to explore the current reality , identify patterns and attain a shared understanding of current reality and the challenges among a diverse group of stakeholders before defining possible resolutions . Through verbal discussions , stakeholders tend to interpret the same matter / thought in slightly different ways . Visualisation assists in overcoming this challenge by making the discussions tangible and concrete so that the understanding is common and aligned . I used the practice of creating straw man visualisations of the current processes with question prompts and key task objective definitions to allow the diverse group of stakeholders understand in a common aligned manner and learn from one another while assimilating the reality , defining the scope , boundaries , relationships between key elements and above all , comprehend challenges which other teams face .
Application
I started the process by creating a straw man process map on big chart paper stuck on a wall . I created swim - lanes for different teams and scheduled process walkthroughs with the teams to understand the current process . I asked each of the teams to represent their key tasks within the swim - lanes using basic shapes easy to comprehend and allocated different coloured post - it notes for different kinds of tasks . Once a first version of the processes was represented on the chart , I scheduled workshop sessions for teams to use question prompts to probe why certain tasks were conducted in a particular manner which brought out unique challenges other teams faced in their process . With this we had 3 exclusive customer onboarding processes with uniquely coloured post - it notes clearly highlighting similar activities occurring across multiple process , key relationships and dependencies between teams which made it easier to identify patterns and demonstrate the as - is process reality in a manner commonly understood by all teams .
The next stage of the process was to streamline the current stage process maps using common task definitions and form a customer - to - customer view of the various onboarding processes . A customer- to - customer process view means identifying all internal and external customers of various tasks within processes and uniquely defining the process outputs which satisfy the customer needs .
For the final stage of the application process , I split all stakeholders into 4 groups and asked them to note down their view of success / their expectations from the future customer onboarding process . Once this was done , the same groups were asked to identify what aspects of the current customer onboarding processes should change , in their opinion , to achieve the desired success criteria they had
defined . These success criteria along with the list of expected changes were then attached to the current process maps .
Thus , by the end of the exercise we had a comprehensive view of 3 different onboarding processes , the common activities and outputs across all processes , unique challenges and dependencies each of the processes had and a list of desired changes and success criteria .
Insight
The insight I gained out of the exercise was that the visual representation of the process along with stakeholder comments was important for reinforcing a common understanding of the process and the unique challenges faced . Having a focal point of discussion guided the stakeholders to share perspectives and insights which were specific , relevant and sequenced in order of importance rather than talking randomly about everything at the same time . The most valuable insight I gained was that while visual representation shapes the flow of the discussion , more important is the shared insights and shared learning that occurs while they are working to define reality and problem . Having stakeholders across multiple teams as part of the workshop working collaboratively enabled them to be more open , empathetic and understanding to others challenges and at the same time provided them with an opportunity to learn certain best practices which other teams had been following . Having a visual process map along with key insights such as success factors and list of changes enabled a relatively easy and data driven process to identify patterns which were used in subsequent stages of the project to drive transformation and change decisions without any political hinderance .

### Input: REFLECTION – VISUALISATION
Challenge and Selection :
I am a member of a bank ’s Transformation and Change department and my challenge was to merge 3 different customer onboarding processes into a single streamlined process to achieve operational efficiencies and improve transparency . The project scope involved a variety of internal stakeholders such as 3 customer onboarding teams , the technology support team , customer relationship management team and external stakeholders such as brokers and technology vendors . Managing and aligning stakeholders ’ understanding , objectives and expectations with the that of the project team was a key driver to the project ’s success .
Selection
I used the tool of Visualisation to explore the current reality , identify patterns and attain a shared understanding of current reality and the challenges among a diverse group of stakeholders before defining possible resolutions . Through verbal discussions , stakeholders tend to interpret the same matter / thought in slightly different ways . Visualisation assists in overcoming this challenge by making the discussions tangible and concrete so that the understanding is common and aligned . I used the practice of creating straw man visualisations of the current processes with question prompts and key task objective definitions to allow the diverse group of stakeholders understand in a common aligned manner and learn from one another while assimilating the reality , defining the scope , boundaries , relationships between key elements and above all , comprehend challenges which other teams face .
Application
I started the process by creating a straw man process map on big chart paper stuck on a wall . I created swim - lanes for different teams and scheduled process walkthroughs with the teams to understand the current process . I asked each of the teams to represent their key tasks within the swim - lanes using basic shapes easy to comprehend and allocated different coloured post - it notes for different kinds of tasks . Once a first version of the processes was represented on the chart , I scheduled workshop sessions for teams to use question prompts to probe why certain tasks were conducted in a particular manner which brought out unique challenges other teams faced in their process . With this we had 3 exclusive customer onboarding processes with uniquely coloured post - it notes clearly highlighting similar activities occurring across multiple process , key relationships and dependencies between teams which made it easier to identify patterns and demonstrate the as - is process reality in a manner commonly understood by all teams .
The next stage of the process was to streamline the current stage process maps using common task definitions and form a customer - to - customer view of the various onboarding processes . A customer- to - customer process view means identifying all internal and external customers of various tasks within processes and uniquely defining the process outputs which satisfy the customer needs .
For the final stage of the application process , I split all stakeholders into 4 groups and asked them to note down their view of success / their expectations from the future customer onboarding process . Once this was done , the same groups were asked to identify what aspects of the current customer onboarding processes should change , in their opinion , to achieve the desired success criteria they had
defined . These success criteria along with the list of expected changes were then attached to the current process maps .
Thus , by the end of the exercise we had a comprehensive view of 3 different onboarding processes , the common activities and outputs across all processes , unique challenges and dependencies each of the processes had and a list of desired changes and success criteria .
Insight
The insight I gained out of the exercise was that the visual representation of the process along with stakeholder comments was important for reinforcing a common understanding of the process and the unique challenges faced .

Abstract- Augmented reality is the technology that expands our physical world , adding layers of digital information onto it . Augmented reality adds digital element to live view by using cameras or sensors . The main aim of this work is to develop virtual trial room using augmented reality which allows user to try on virtual clothes . Kinect sensor is used to calculate the effective distance between the sensor and the user who is standing in front of it . Based on this distance we can analyze how the clothes will look on user . This application improves present augmented based posing and gives full view of 3D image rather than 2D image . Keywords- Kinect v2 , Skeleton tracking , processing , Augmented reality 1 . INTRODUCTION A lot of shoppers have encountered a problem that trying clothes in clothing stores is usually a time consuming activity especially during peak hours such as weekends , it might not even be possible to try - on clothes in such cases as online shopping . Also Due to security reasons there is limitation on number of garments that can be taken for trial at a time ( 3 ) . Also some times the shoppers are unable to show the customers the new stock that is supposed to arrive in coming few days . To overcome these problems we aim to develop a virtual trial room using augmented reality . In this proposed application a sensor named Kinect is used for the overall analysis of the user 's body measurements with the help of sensor information and his positioning coordinates . ( 5 ) Following components will be required to design the system .
1.1 . Kinect sensor Kinect is a line of motion sensing input devices that was produced by Microsoft . Kinect has resolution of up to 1280x1024 , monochrome depth sensing video stream is in VGA resolution with 11 - bit depth . This sensor will give video frames as input to system for finding the available dresses in database [ 6 ] . 1.2 . Processing Processing is an incredibly powerful and versatile programming environment and language . All Processing code is translated to java code first . This means you can write java code and
import java libraries in your Processing code , within ( or outside ) the Processing IDE .
1.3 . LCD Screen LCD screen will be used as interface between user and system for displaying the output . 2 . LITERATURE SURVEY 2.1 . Md. Farhan hamid , md . Ashraful alam , " virtual wardrobe for physically impaired using microsoft kinect sensor " This paper throws light particularly on physically impaired people who are partially or completely challenged . For completely impaired people , sensor senses the head movements for iterating through the clothes and the eyes movement for selection of apparel[5]But the paper tends to incline more towards the challenged people rather than normal people leading to noticeable change in functions adding to which the population too reduces as compared to normal people .

This system uses a fixed webcam for capturing the images of the user . This image is processed by MATLAB to compute every pixel of the image and check which apparel suits the best as per user 's choice [ 9 ] . The drawback for this is that the system was only used for online shopping platform and not for any other offline use . Also as there is absence of kinect sensor due to which the actual measurements with respect to the depth is missing 3 . PROPOSED SYSTEM The implementation of the project starts by initializing the kinect sensor , which acts as the main hardware of the project . Also for running the application , the IDE(Integrated Development
Environment ) is Processing 3.5.3 . The
programming language used is Java . As soon as the application starts , the GUI that flashes a debut is the choice given the user to choose between male and female . Once the first step is done , the next step consists of Apparel selection which consists of different categories like shirt , pant , dress , t - shirt . Once that is selected then the selected apparel gets mapped onto user body with the help of body coordinates . This could virtual representation of look of the apparel . To augment the cloth onto the virtual body in the virtual environment of user interface , we need certain calculated parameters as an input for modeling the cloth and augmenting the cloth onto the virtual body . To achieve this , Kinect V2 provides 25 joints tracked at 30 frames per second frequency and we can access the joints using the Kinect SDK . Out of the 25 joints , we use certain joints to calculate the measurements of shirt required to be augmented on the virtual body . The figure depicts the joints obtained by skeletal tracking with which we will be performing some calculations for modeling the shirt later in this paper . Since , we are calculating the RGB pixel value at a position , say A , on user body by color stream and calculating the position coordinates by depth stream , we need to map each other to find the RGB pixel at a position A(x , y , z ) .But since color stream and depth stream have different resolutions , we need the use of Coordinate Mapper which maps corresponding coordinates correctly . As a result , we have access to all coordinates on virtual user
body with corresponding RGB values . The image has been taken from official Microsoft site to show the various joints detected while skeletal tracking . To augment the shirt onto the virtual human body , we need to fill the color stream of the tracked user by pixels of shirt stream at positions where the shirt is supposed to be augmented onto the virtual body . For instance , to calculate the length of shirt , we make use of the hip center joint coordinates and shoulder center coordinates . To calculate the width of the shirt around shoulders , we make use of the shoulder left joint coordinates and shoulder right joint coordinates and their difference gives the width of shirt around the shoulder . To calculate the waist size , we use the hip left joint coordinates and hip right joint coordinates and their difference gives the waist size . These sizes can also help in scaling and cropping the shirt to anticipated measurement . For rotation , we make use of slope of line formed between shoulder center joint
coordinates after rotation and hip center joint coordinates after rotation with the slope of the line formed by shoulder center joint coordinates before rotation and hip center joint coordinates before rotation to calculate the rotation angle . Our object model is the geometrical object that created by using Blender3D software . We created models for both male and female consumer . 3 - D meshes of clothing are designed in Blender3D software and imported to Obj and mtl file . In this research , Blender3D created Obj - files for the 3d vertex modeling object , mtl - files for describing the surface shades . Homogeneous transformation matrix for 3D bodies and 3D has been made . We use a rigid transformation which consists of rotation ( R ) , translation ( T ) and scaling ( S)[8 ] . These three values transform the rigid object from a three dimensional coordinate to the reference coordinate . The transformation of each joint point from one of the three dimensional coordinates to the other is transformed by the value of certain rotational , translational and scaling values . The most
commonly used definition in graphics describes a rotation by Euler angles ( Ф , θ , Ψ ) as a product of three rotations . The matrix M for the rotation is , therefore , product of three others [ 9 ] .

Scaling : Position of left - shoulder is calculated . This real world position is converted to projective . The same is repeated for right - shoulder To calculate x- coordinate , distance between left and right shoulder position is calculated .
x - coordinate = RightShoulderPos.x- LeftShoulderPos.x .
Neck position of skeleton = skel - neck .
mid.y=((LeftHip.y+RightHip.y)/2 )
y - coordinate= sqrt(sq(skel - neck - mid.y ) )
z - coordinate is manually entered .
Translation : The centre point of 3d model= jointPos
This real world position is converted to projective .
translate(jointPos.x , jointPos.y,60 )
The model gets translated
Rotation : To calculate rotation around x axis
phi = atan(orientation.m12 / orientation.m22 ) To calculate rotation around y axis
theta=-asin(orientation.m02 ) To calculate rotation around z axis
psi = atan(orientation.m01 / orientation.m00 )
4 . CONCLUSION As the final output , system will display the available dresses from database according to positioning and measurements of user . The user can access the GUI by hand gesture and can select the apparel or also select various category . Thus it will be very convenient and hassle free for the customer to choose the perfect apparel through virtual means without much of inconvenience . Also an additional feature that gets displayed on the apparel would be ' S','M ' , ' L','XL ' . Along with this the price of the
product description about the selected category can also be displayed . REFERENCES [ 1 ] Yashwant Kanduri , Sanugula Durga Prasad , “ A

To calculate the width of the shirt around shoulders , we make use of the shoulder left joint coordinates and shoulder right joint coordinates and their difference gives the width of shirt around the shoulder . To calculate the waist size , we use the hip left joint coordinates and hip right joint coordinates and their difference gives the waist size . These sizes can also help in scaling and cropping the shirt to anticipated measurement . For rotation , we make use of slope of line formed between shoulder center joint
coordinates after rotation and hip center joint coordinates after rotation with the slope of the line formed by shoulder center joint coordinates before rotation and hip center joint coordinates before rotation to calculate the rotation angle . Our object model is the geometrical object that created by using Blender3D software . We created models for both male and female consumer . 3 - D meshes of clothing are designed in Blender3D software and imported to Obj and mtl file . In this research , Blender3D created Obj - files for the 3d vertex modeling object , mtl - files for describing the surface shades . Homogeneous transformation matrix for 3D bodies and 3D has been made . We use a rigid transformation which consists of rotation ( R ) , translation ( T ) and scaling ( S)[8 ] . These three values transform the rigid object from a three dimensional coordinate to the reference coordinate . The transformation of each joint point from one of the three dimensional coordinates to the other is transformed by the value of certain rotational , translational and scaling values . The most
commonly used definition in graphics describes a rotation by Euler angles ( Ф , θ , Ψ ) as a product of three rotations . The matrix M for the rotation is , therefore , product of three others [ 9 ] .

Scaling : Position of left - shoulder is calculated . This real world position is converted to projective . The same is repeated for right - shoulder To calculate x- coordinate , distance between left and right shoulder position is calculated .
x - coordinate = RightShoulderPos.x- LeftShoulderPos.x .
Neck position of skeleton = skel - neck .
mid.y=((LeftHip.y+RightHip.y)/2 )
y - coordinate= sqrt(sq(skel - neck - mid.y ) )
z - coordinate is manually entered .
Translation : The centre point of 3d model= jointPos
This real world position is converted to projective .
translate(jointPos.x , jointPos.y,60 )
The model gets translated
Rotation : To calculate rotation around x axis
phi = atan(orientation.m12 / orientation.m22 ) To calculate rotation around y axis
theta=-asin(orientation.m02 ) To calculate rotation around z axis
psi = atan(orientation.m01 / orientation.m00 )
4 . CONCLUSION As the final output , system will display the available dresses from database according to positioning and measurements of user . The user can access the GUI by hand gesture and can select the apparel or also select various category . Thus it will be very convenient and hassle free for the customer to choose the perfect apparel through virtual means without much of inconvenience . Also an additional feature that gets displayed on the apparel would be ' S','M ' , ' L','XL ' . Along with this the price of the
product description about the selected category can also be displayed . REFERENCES [ 1 ] Yashwant Kanduri , Sanugula Durga Prasad , “ A

Challenge
We were assigned to launch a new revenue cannel in the Company , an online cannel . I was pretty challenging at first glance due to the culture and values of the company , pretty traditional and always very hesitant to anything that sounds online , digital , etc .
Our biggest challenge was not only to successfully implement and online channel but also prove the company ( top managers , board of directors , etc ) that these new projects were very relevant to start doing projects with a different approach to we used to do .
Selection
To accomplish the project we enter in an unknown environment using tools and approaches that we have never used before . In our case , we use a combination of tools such as visualization by drawing different scenarios in with the customer persona was at the center , we use storytelling to give colour to many ideas that seems to be isolated but using narratives seems to be much clearer to understand witch path we should take , or at least to clarify it , and we had to use a much more dynamic approach of project management , like agyle or scrum , pretty novel to our project management conception .
Application
As we noticed that there were too many new things and approaches , we decided to be supported by a third party expert , just to guide us not to do the job . Internally we organized a cross functional team , teamed up by people from most departments , finance , marketing , sales , operations , etc by with the prerequisite that any member to take part should be open minded , with a can - do attitude , very flexible to changing , and with no fear to fail .
Ones we defined the internal and external team we started to work with current customers of the organization , but we also searched for non - customers of the organization to get more insights far beyond our traditional customers .
Then , we set up workshops to define what kind of experience should be valuable for them using an online channel to be in touch with the company , and at this point is when we used storytelling and visualization mapping to describe the potential customer journey and different alternatives we could approach .
Insight and Approach
The most valuable insight was all the feedback and information you get directly from the people who are your potential customers , rather than working using internal information and then going to the market to get insight ( our traditional project management approach ) , we did the other way around , going out to market to get information and then adapting it to our circumstances .
Another lesson learnt is that when you work directly with the customers is a more iterative and more agyle way of working , because this relation is much more dynamic so agyle and scrum approaches fit well .
But the most interesting thing and surprising insight is that we should not underestimate the importance of the values and culture when you accomplish a change in the way you manage a project . We have to be very careful if you want to be very disruptive or innovative with your approach and the company is not fully prepared , at least , top managers and boards , because that could end up in failing the project because strategy and culture are not aligned .
One of the most basics when you are facing a strategic project is that “ Culture eats strategy for breakfast ” so be pretty sure , and if not stop the project , if both aspects are not fully aligned , people is who is going to grade your project so take the importance they have .
We are still working in this project as an iterative mode and I was a U - turn in the way we manage projects nowadays in the company .

Example Reflection – Learning Launch
Context :
I am a Business Transformation Director at a major Oil & Gas company which has operations in 170 countries . My task was to develop a new Operating Model for Procurement and Supply Chain Management ( PSCM ) Organization , to address feedback from business stakeholders . PSCM organization has about 900 employees who are located across 14 regions in the world such as US , Canada , Trinidad , UK , Azerbaijan , Angola , Egypt , Oman , Mauritania & Senegal & India . While the full scope of Operating model project is outside the scope of this paper , I will describe the relevant elements here .
PSCM organization is responsible for Sourcing , Negotiating and Contracting for all Products and Services that are utilized in the Exploration , Drilling and Production of Oil & Gas in the company , and they manage all the resulting contracts as well as transactions ( actual buying in the system ) .
Challenge :
What Is : In the existing model , each of the regions performed its own Sourcing & Contracting activities based on the local demand . This process is not only inconsistent , but it does not allow for developing and implementing best practices , scaling the business or for developing talent . This decentralized approach is also not very efficient and effective . The feedback from business stakeholders was that the process of sourcing & contracting is too long and has too process oriented , instead it should be fast , and business focused .
What If / What Wows : After going through a complete design process over many months , reviewing many concepts and options , our team created a new model that would centralize all Sourcing and Contracting activities at two global hubs – Western Hemisphere Hub ( Houston ) and Eastern Hemisphere Hub ( London ) , this centralization will also be supported by the new Digital tool which will be used by the Regional businesses to file Sourcing requests and track the progress .
The challenge here was that Sourcing & Contracting was majority of the job for some 900 people across the globe , centralizing this activity will be hugely disruptive and will also result in the morale loss for the staff . Secondly each of the regions have their own governmental requirements and governance steps that have to be considered and can not be violated .
It is also important to recognize that by moving this activity from the regions to central hubs will also require us to overcome human elements of fear , uncertainty and skepticism that it can be done centrally without loss of quality and speed .
Selection & Application :
Our initial view was that once we have designed the operating model and the digital system is in place , we can initiate the organizational change immediately . However , based on some preliminary reviews at small focused settings it became clear that the wholesale change will not be accepted by the organization and it will result in massive distraction for the business .
Syed Aziz – Design Thinking for Innovation – September 5th , 2020
It was then that we decided that to go fast , we will have to go slow and voila ! We landed on the proof of concept ( MVP ) approach or The Learning Launch as we call in this Design Thinking course .
What Works : But how do you do a proof of concept for an organization ? we decided that there were certain categories of Sourcing and contracting that were somewhat centralized and it will be relatively easy to completely centralize that group ( and transfer those people in the new central team at one of the hubs ) . We also shortlisted a few ‘ tricky ’ categories where it will be challenging to centralize , we wanted to do this to stretch the concept and see if it breaks .
Upon selecting a few categories , we announced the concept to the organization and solicited their suggestions on how best to approach it as well . We confidentially spoke to the people who were going to be moved to hubs and worked through the Human Resources nuances to carefully transition them to the Hub team . Along with these individuals , we also moved their existing Sourcing & Contracting responsibility to the Hub team , thus “ seeding ” the group with immediate responsibilities and an experienced team . This team was then also tasked to develop the new processes to intake work ( through the Digital workflow system ) and deliver the work most efficiently ) .
Insights :
Looking back this was the best decision we made , as expected as soon as the team was stood up , we had naysayers all over the organization as to why and how it will fail . There was resistance in working through the new process and transitioning work to this team . Since the team had brought their current responsibilities with them , they were quickly able to gain credibility with the business stakeholders .
As expected , we did run into challenges related to work flow or better said flow of work – so the team had to quickly step in and develop new agile processes to intake new demand , complete sourcing and contracting while ensuring there is no gap in communication with the stakeholders and regional teams . We also sorted out the quirks with the new digital system and improved the process even further .
During the same time , we unfortunately hit the COVID-19 crisis and that required us to adjust our contracts and amend contracts with new safety clauses . This central team quickly stepped in and took on that work , turning it around in record time demonstrating a 500 % improvement in cycle time . This was a huge credibility builder for the remainder of the organization .
Over a period of 6 months , this team meticulously absorbed the work from other teams , refined their processes and delivered quality products .
Approach :
As mentioned earlier , the initial approach was a wholesale change without testing the new model , if we had gone through our initial plan , we would n’t have been able to prove that the concept truly wows the organization and that it works . I am fairly certain that it would n’t have , not because the concept was n’t sound or we did n’t have good team , the human factor and mental inertia from the organization would ’ve been too much to overcome .
What ’s next :
We are gearing up for a full - scale launch and ramp up and by the end of this year the new team with Eastern and Western Hubs will be fully in place .

Challenge & Selection :
I am working with intellectual property management team in the organization , where we work in a
team to secure research activities carried out across various departments . Our intent is to protect the
company ’s intellectual asset covering on - going developments as well as any possible future outcome
of the same . The tool of mind - mapping with related visuals has been a very apt to the situation that
we are dealing with . Often we end up having multiple data points on the table , which we need to
analyze creatively to put forth our visions . An another major issue is to have a common understanding
about our findings in the team and to convince the same to concerned stakeholders , which is very
crucial to incorporate the current data set and also to derive possibilities of further data generation . I
was all set to explore “ what is ” available by applying the mind mapping tool to arrive at “ what if ”
possibilities to design the way forward .
Application :
I started the process by having a clear visibility regarding what is available in front of myself and among
my team members . The existing material was in the form of project product concept , procedural
challenges to achieve the target , on - going product development stages , experimental outcome and
related data set , or upcoming project plans , or any combinations such materials . There were various
stakeholders involved from several departments in generating such material . Our purpose was to
compile all the material in a manner that also include inherent or anticipated strategies and values .
We , in a team , initiated mind mapping exercise with uncovering deep understanding of what is . We
worked on asking ourselves , if anything were possible out of our “ what is ” studies . Further , if anything
were possible , what criteria would our proposed compilation meet ? We noted our observations from
the data based on our analysis . We also worked on to create association among the existing material ,
and relationship with pre - existing concepts . During the process , the unusual elements were combined
including creating a link between the current experimental results with hypothetical results to draw a
line for the future experiment plans ! There were multiple arrangements and rearrangements done
while applying the tool and techniques of mind mapping . We practiced all flexibility to visualize our
observations using words , images , numbers , colors , logic , rhythm , or even spatial diagrams . Later on ,
we collated our findings , and created a view that combines the shared and new insights from the team
discussion .
We then created a revised mind map that incorporates everyone ’s feedback and proposed changes
that were agreed in the team and also with the stakeholders . Additionally , we thought through
anticipated results , expecting to find that a more agile approach would improve our workflow , and
that both our team and the key stakeholders would be fairly open to the new prioritization of tasks
and process .
Insight :
It was clearly realized from the mind mapping exercise that mind maps are more visual and depict
associations between key words that are much easier to recall than linear notes . Interestingly , we
were able to identify some very unknown but inherent aspects from our existing data set . That really
helped to broaden our experimental plans and to fence the on - going activities in much wider angle of
intellectual protection . The comprehension around the mind mapping was an eye opener in the team .
The whole exercise circling around creativity and intuition formed a fitting base for our next task of
preparing official documents and reports , which would then appropriately represent all compiled
research plans and related outcome . We extracted the meaning from available data , and during the
process let the patterns and insight emerged that was easier to show case in front of the stakeholders
and also to bring out white space to incorporate any further unexpected elements in our compilation .
Mind mapping , being more visual and more intuitive , there is a clear scope of bringing out
serendipitous invention by applying this tool . Mind maps allowed associations and links to be recorded
and reinforced appropriately .
Additional point is , we ended up spending some more amount of time around this activity starting
from creating process of defining the scope , boundaries , key elements , and relationships between
elements to consider when identifying pain points and opportunities for improvements or solutions .
Approach :
Given that we , in a team has already gone through several mind mapping formats and at this stage in
the timeline , the mind mapping has been very much appropriate tool for our work area as I mentioned
previously . Our team needs to review the insight gained from our initial mind mapping exercise and
incorporate the same into related future activities . The another important finding is , mind mapping
should be initiated at very early stage during our development plans to reflect on the progress made ,
and come closer to a compelling solution without spending undue additional time on reinventing the
wheel . Now I can prepare ahead and think of mind mapping to come closer to a compelling solution
that will assist me in presenting my compilations and best illuminate them . Future mind mapping
designs would be considered early in the project pipeline to have consistent identification of new
horizons throughout the process of project development .

I am working with intellectual property management team in the organization , where we work in a
team to secure research activities carried out across various departments . Our intent is to protect the
company ’s intellectual asset covering on - going developments as well as any possible future outcome
of the same . The tool of mind - mapping with related visuals has been a very apt to the situation that
we are dealing with . Often we end up having multiple data points on the table , which we need to
analyze creatively to put forth our visions . An another major issue is to have a common understanding
about our findings in the team and to convince the same to concerned stakeholders , which is very
crucial to incorporate the current data set and also to derive possibilities of further data generation . I
was all set to explore “ what is ” available by applying the mind mapping tool to arrive at “ what if ”
possibilities to design the way forward .
Application :
I started the process by having a clear visibility regarding what is available in front of myself and among
my team members . The existing material was in the form of project product concept , procedural
challenges to achieve the target , on - going product development stages , experimental outcome and
related data set , or upcoming project plans , or any combinations such materials . There were various
stakeholders involved from several departments in generating such material . Our purpose was to
compile all the material in a manner that also include inherent or anticipated strategies and values .
We , in a team , initiated mind mapping exercise with uncovering deep understanding of what is . We
worked on asking ourselves , if anything were possible out of our “ what is ” studies . Further , if anything
were possible , what criteria would our proposed compilation meet ? We noted our observations from
the data based on our analysis . We also worked on to create association among the existing material ,
and relationship with pre - existing concepts . During the process , the unusual elements were combined
including creating a link between the current experimental results with hypothetical results to draw a
line for the future experiment plans ! There were multiple arrangements and rearrangements done
while applying the tool and techniques of mind mapping . We practiced all flexibility to visualize our
observations using words , images , numbers , colors , logic , rhythm , or even spatial diagrams . Later on ,
we collated our findings , and created a view that combines the shared and new insights from the team
discussion .
We then created a revised mind map that incorporates everyone ’s feedback and proposed changes
that were agreed in the team and also with the stakeholders . Additionally , we thought through
anticipated results , expecting to find that a more agile approach would improve our workflow , and
that both our team and the key stakeholders would be fairly open to the new prioritization of tasks
and process .
Insight :
It was clearly realized from the mind mapping exercise that mind maps are more visual and depict
associations between key words that are much easier to recall than linear notes . Interestingly , we
were able to identify some very unknown but inherent aspects from our existing data set . That really
helped to broaden our experimental plans and to fence the on - going activities in much wider angle of
intellectual protection . The comprehension around the mind mapping was an eye opener in the team .
The whole exercise circling around creativity and intuition formed a fitting base for our next task of
preparing official documents and reports , which would then appropriately represent all compiled
research plans and related outcome . We extracted the meaning from available data , and during the
process let the patterns and insight emerged that was easier to show case in front of the stakeholders
and also to bring out white space to incorporate any further unexpected elements in our compilation .
Mind mapping , being more visual and more intuitive , there is a clear scope of bringing out
serendipitous invention by applying this tool . Mind maps allowed associations and links to be recorded
and reinforced appropriately .
Additional point is , we ended up spending some more amount of time around this activity starting
from creating process of defining the scope , boundaries , key elements , and relationships between
elements to consider when identifying pain points and opportunities for improvements or solutions .
Approach :
Given that we , in a team has already gone through several mind mapping formats and at this stage in
the timeline , the mind mapping has been very much appropriate tool for our work area as I mentioned
previously . Our team needs to review the insight gained from our initial mind mapping exercise and
incorporate the same into related future activities . The another important finding is , mind mapping
should be initiated at very early stage during our development plans to reflect on the progress made ,
and come closer to a compelling solution without spending undue additional time on reinventing the
wheel . Now I can prepare ahead and think of mind mapping to come closer to a compelling solution
that will assist me in presenting my compilations and best illuminate them . Future mind mapping
designs would be considered early in the project pipeline to have consistent identification of new
horizons throughout the process of project development .

Challenge
I am a IT manager , working for a big organization and the challange was to replace our existing trading system using latest technologies in our front to back IT systems . The application is used inhouse by trading and sales desks , operations as well as by external clients , such as financial institutes . The challange was to ensure that migration to the new system covers a smooth user migration , selection of modern technologies , strategic design decisions and the migration can be completed within the next 3 years . Since the system to be replaced has been developed and enhanced over the last 20 years and the migration should be completed within the next 3 years , we focused on identifying what our key stakeholders within our organization as well as our clients consider as being most valuable and helpful for their daily work .
Selection
Since we were in an early state of our design thinking process we used the Mindmapping tool . The MindMapping tool is a perfect fit , since its strength is in helping us to move from WhatIs to WhatIf . Exactly what we needed to focus on when looking at how to replace our legacy systems . The mind mapping tool allowed us to brainstorm requirements for our new product . The goal was not to replace our system like for like , since here we could simply just summarize a list of functionality that today ’s systems offers and work on a replacement . Creating a mindmap by involving stakeholders from different areas allowed us to identify gaps and painpoints , which were not considered or seen as too complex to accomodate in the legacy systems .
Application
First I collected the data I wanted to share with the technology and business teams , e.g , the users of our current systems . The data showed key functionalities , major features we have worked on over the years , incidents which were raised over the time . I also shares missed or partially implemented requirements or dropped ideas . Since the system is used by external clients as well , I also shared what competitors offer . For the non functional requirements I shared technology trends , e.g. the legacy system was never designed to be supported on mobiles .
I laid out all the collected data as printouts , showing screenshots , tables , charts and wireframes of previous not realised ideas on a table or put them all on a whiteboard . People then walked around in the meeting room , looked at the presented details and thought about them . Some spent more time at the screenshots , others were more interested in technology trends . Important is that every stakeholder is covered and can highlight the items which are most important to them . That s why I picked users for reviewing the galery from IT ( developers , QA , BA ) , UX design , Product Manager , First and Second level support , Trading and Sales desk , which gives around 20 people being involved in the design thinking process . All of them got their sticky notes , walked through the room , reviewed the data and wrote down their ideas . Those ideas could be realizable or not working . Both was fine at this stage . Important is that the ideas were helping us to solve our design challange . Once everyone came up with an ideas , we split the whole group in teams of ~5 people each . The teams started with separating different topics . The sticky notes within the teams were attached to the topics . Then the
next team continued , by sharing the next topic and their sticky notes . Also „ less important “ notes were captured .
Insight
By applying the MindMapping tool we have formed topics . Ideas from different areas were identified . For the gaps in the system that were identified , we can ask easily why we had these gaps ? Was the old system not able to handle the requirement , or was there not enough time for the implementation at that time ? Since we were a group of people from different areas the inputs , explainations and potential solutions ( What Wows ? ) were very diverse . Also , what about our client ’s requests ? Has the market changed and do our clients have different needs today , than 20 years ago ? What role does Social Media play today ? By having the different key stakeholder discussing the varity of topics we are able to separate the most important ideas to form the requirement set for our MVP ( Minimal viable product ) .
Approach
The MindMapping tool was a great approach to collect the right ideas to build a successful MVP . The ideas we got from this approach depend on the involved key stakeholders . Ensure you have each area properly covered , so your created Mindmap covers all relevant areas . If you have to many people from one area , your Mindmap could diverse to much .

Challenge and Selection There are dozens of books and workshops and online tutorials teaching you how to make good data visualization . But what is good data visualization ? You probably think it ’s fast — charts that are quickly understood or charts that are quickly made or ( preferably ) both . That ’s because most everything that teaches you data visualization , whether it ’s a technical approach like my book or one that focuses more on design and technique , is focused on teaching you how to make data visualization quickly and how to make data visualization that can be quickly understood .
Just a few examples of fast data visualization that shows up in tutorials and books from Edward Tufte , Stephanie Evergreen & Andy Cotgreave Our modern approach to data visualization is focused on quickly making data visualization . I think that focus creates an incomplete understanding of data visualization and damages our ability to use and make data visualization
Application Visual communication , like all forms of communication , does not happen in just one mode . The traditional data visualization trope is a report for busy executives created by subject experts . This classic case goes back to Tufte ’s analysis of a meeting where NASA needs to decide , right now , whether to launch the Challenger in cold weather . But along with this mode there are long form data visualization products and analytical applications that demand time and investment . I work them all the time at Netflix and you can experience them in various media outlets like Pudding or The New York Times . This mismatch between the actual modes of data visualization and the best practices in data visualization slows development of more advanced forms but also implies to readers that any data visualization that is not immediately understood is a failure . The focus on fast data visualization affects how we design data visualization products , what tools we use to create them , the role of the data visualization creator in relation to their product , and how we envision engaging with data visualization readers . And this vision sells because it implies a no nonsense , “ show me the data ” attitude that aligns with organizational leadership that would prefer to see intimidating advanced charting methods as needlessly complex . As a result , fast data visualization dominates the professional literature . If we were to only understand data visualization through the best - selling manuals and tools built for data visualization , it would seem that it is governed by an almost desperate rush . On one side are techniques to make your data visualization as easily and quickly comprehensible as possible . The language and lessons around this approach are dominated by a discourse of restraint : Restrained color choices , restrained decorative choices , restrained interactivity and restrained chart types . On the other side are tools to make data visualization products advertising just how quickly and easily you ’ll be able to make charts . Tableau tutorials brag about getting your dashboard built in 10 minutes ( or even one minute ) . There ’s even an Iron Chef - like competition Tableau holds called Iron Viz . Tools like Superset plug into your data and give you immediate insights automatically . You ca n’t get much faster than immediate .
Insight and Approach
In order to reveal a “ slow ” data visualization I want to examine charts more closely and think structurally about what charts say , what charts mean and what charts do . These two modes are not in opposition , rather all charts are capable of being slowed down with reflective analysis . This examination is broken down into three parts : WHAT CHARTS SAY WHAT CHARTS MEAN WHAT CHARTS DO This might all seem very academic or theoretical , needlessly complex or frivolous … like a network diagram . It ’s not . Ultimately , data visualization is not a technical problem , it ’s a design problem and , more than that , a communication problem . It ’s about time we started thinking more deeply about it that way .

When I first got in touch with the Design Thinking approach , one of the first things that really interested me was the tool of Storytelling . As a Logistics Performance Coordinator , my team is responsible for consolidating the numbers regarding budgets , results and expenditures , trends , consolidate the main KPIs and all the reporting for the Logistics area . I used to feel very frustrated when we were showing all the leaders and the decision makers the numbers and presentations in a way that was only informative . I felt that somehow we were failing to tell a good story that could change the way they understand how the Logistics Team could contribute , for example , to achieve a better result , to understand how the teams could be challenged or even how logistics could increase the Service Level provided to the customers . When my team and I started to discuss the better ways to inspire our leaders to see the Logistics process not only as a necessary cost , but also as a competitive path to deliver value to the customers , we started to put ourselves in their position and that ’s when the Storytelling tool seemed to be appropriate . We challenged ourselves to try to imagine how they would react to the information that we were showing , how they could connect with a subject that they do n’t have a technical understanding , where were the pain points that would need their intervention , so that the presentation and the reports would change from an informative tool to a moment of sharing experiences and an inspiration to new ideas .
Application
The first time we applied the Storytelling tool for the purpose of building a different Presentation for a better engagement of the Business Leaders was a Logistics Follow Up Meeting that we have regularly with the Vice President and his Directors . My team and I sat previously together with the Business Performance team – that was always providing on a daily basis presentations and other reports to those leaders – and discussed the overall perception that they have about their particular approach with other subjects and how they better react to information and interact with it . In that way we could use their inputs to build up an experience that could interest the leaders , that would change the presentation from a technical perspective to a more business focused and to show them our challenges in a form that they would contribute and feel part of the solution .
Insight & Approach
When we started the presentation , the leaders ’ reactions to it were instantaneous . We started it by telling the story about the impacts on the Company ’s results – cost reduction , overall performance and always connecting with the EBITDA terms , so that they could follow everything on their particular language – then we talked about the Projects and New Ideas and how they interact with the Business . We also brought images and videos to give a better idea of the technical concepts that we shared so

that they could have a better understand on why that information was so important . We also left questions to be addressed by them in that specific forum . For example , we were trying to develop projects that the Law Department was not prioritizing , the we shared with the leaders the simplicity of the change we wanted to make by presenting in a map that we were trying to change the billing point of a process to reduce the travelled distance , impacting in an important cost reduction , they immediately got involved and wanted to ensure that the project would be prioritized at that moment . The insight was very clear for my team and I and we really understood that before we use the Storytelling approach , we were trying to tell the leaders a story that was making sense to us , but was not including them to design our strategies or even making an effort to make that information understandable to them . When we changed the way we showed the data , changing the perspective in a way that brings them to a dialogue and simplify the discussions so that they got a clearer understanding of our challenges and how they could contribute to solve them , the meetings started to be very inspiring and strategical . So after this first excellent experience that we had , the Storytelling tool became essential to conduct every report and presentation that my team created . We also started to get a good reputation on that field and we felt more enthusiastic to do a job that is really useful and that creates a good expectation on the audience because they feel curious now on how we are planning to share the information on the next time !

Challenge – I was part of a team in a pharmaceutical company that was preparing to launch a new product . The challenge was there were 100 products already available in the market and they were already well established . If we launched this product we will 105th player in the market and we will be entering the market almost a decade later than earlier entrants . So now if we launch the product the chances of recall of this product and prescription by doctor will take a huge effort
Selection – Mind mapping is the tool we selected to understand the patterns and ideas emerging based on our market research and insights collected by talking to doctors and 3rd party survey of patients . We selected the tool because of enormity of the data and diverse nature of the data . The idea to use this tool was to identify any big idea or pattern emerging
Application – When we used mind mapping ( As beautifully explained in week 3 video by Neha Kumar ) as a tool to decode the immense data we collected by talking to doctors throughout the country and analysing the survey , two patterns clearly emerged
Doctors said there is lack of compliance in patients because they were not taking the
tablets because of difficulty in swallowing which is a common problem in the age group for which the medicine is prescribed
Patient survey gave us the insight on currently available tablets being too big to
swallow
Mind Mapping helped us identify two patterns
Difficulty in swallowing Big size of tablets
Insight -So we decided what if the tablets are smaller in size but equally effective . This will address both the problems of both the stakeholders . This idea was translated and a smaller tablet was introduced into the market and even though we were late entrants our sales zoomed up and soon we were the among the top 4 brands .
I have realised the power of design thinking . The answers are all out there , we just need to ask right questions . Design thinking helps us to ask those right questions . Once you ask right questions and gather data , identifying the patters becomes of utmost importance and again design thinking with tools like Mind mapping really helps to get there . Design thinking shows you the path of how complex problems can be simplified and how beautiful solutions can be designed which can make a great difference in the lives of the people
Approach – Going forward I would like to use mind mapping as a tool to identify the patterns from complex data points . After using mind mapping my approach towards problem solving has become more fun , helps me to get to root cause of the problem and design solutions which can address the need . Going forward I would like to use all the tools like visualization , storytelling and learners launch to design comprehensive , scalable , problem solving solutions

My occupation involves multiple methodologys for a wide variety of clients as an independent human resource consultant , who use human relations as his focus or primal resource . I´ve been gathering information and studying different aproaches for 5 years , through stable work at a consultant office , a few proyects on my own , learning from studies and papers about the bussiness , and gathering inputs from different perspectives like collegues or people that would eventually be my client type , to finally be able to step up from my own perspective of doing things and work independently . The question i ask myself is , how do i provide a service that solves the problem that my client can see , but also prepare the way for the problems to come ? My question comes from the imperative necesity of building human relations for the development in work and personal life .
Selection
I chose Learning Launch , it´s the tool that lets me try certain technichs that would attempt to prove the theories i´ve been working on . The goal as to why choosing this tool is to learn wich methologys and techniques would work best with a wider variety of people that i consider to be my potential clients in the near future . This choice is considering the ammount of information i have been gathering along the years accordingly to the sense of purpose that identify my way of thinking and the resources that are in my scope . So the Learning Launch tool seems to be the best option in this specific point i´m at , allowing me to test the different aproaches i came to develop at this point , as Bruce Velasquez says , i need to launch lots of experiments , at low cost , to confirm my hipothesis or to learn why it doesn´t work so i can pivote to new aproaches more in sinc with what i´m aiming at .
Aplication
I started the launch by stating which my hypothesis would be , defining that my ultimate theory would be that people learn better when involved in the process , this comes from the actual model that uses lots of information and focuses only on transmitting that knowledge , hoping for understandment . So the question that followed it was how do i involve people , and to get to the answer i conducted a series of experiments to learn which methods worked better . So i had to think how do i test those workshops . First , i managed to get a common space for the workshops with in the building i live in by providing quotas for residents who want to streghten their human resources , avoiding the cost that renting some place would mea ( also got coffee and snacks for peopple attending , the acomodation of the place was made from me and my girlfriend ) . Second , i had to gather people that were in the market i wanted to apply , and a few stakeholders that were some of my collegues and their acquaintances who knew better the business , i made all of the coordination reducing expences . Third , i had to choose and develop the workshops with the different approaches i built with to prove the different methodologies ( Actually this was a previus step , before thinking the place , but only when i got the space and the people i chose wich ones i was going to do ) , in accordance with the key assumptions i priorized , which were : 1.- Use people opinions as facts 2.- Build knowledge from experience 3.- Validate different perspective 4.- Use dynamic excercises 5.- Argue with the attendants from their perspective . Four , i ran 20 workshops in total ( the starting number were 10 , but more people came along and the people on the building asked for more sessions ) by testing these assumptions and some others that born along the road ,
and tried 5 more to compare with the traditional method . Five , i asked for anonymous feedback by writing their opinions at the end of the workshop , aiming for more honest declarations wearing the mask of anonymity , and finally sending afterwards a simple test via mail to analyze the learning level from the participants .
Insight
The ressults of the experiments were astonishing . The difference between what the people with standard method learnt to the people with more human approach did made me realice that the people in traditional method weren´t even there , note ven remotely interested , not been able to remember the things spoke during the workshop as to creating asnwers that weren´t even near the subject , as to the other group that not only gave good answers but also using examples from what they were able to do when involved . Also in the feedback with this group , the comments were most grattitude and possitive declarations asking as why didn´t have this kind of workshops at their own workplace . More objectively speaking , from the metholodies used and the quality of the answers and feedback i was able to confirm :
- People need to be listened , as hearing and validating their opinions makes them feel more conffident about themselves and cooperate more during the workshop , but it´s not enoygh as to keep with that opinion as a fact , it´s needed to build more knowledge using it as a start point .
- The experience helps to build solid knowledge but it´s necessary to link that experience to a goal , for itself is justa n experience , son to be forgotten .
- The point is not to validate every perspective , but the reason behind the perspective . The perspective alone generates more conflict than solution .
- The dynamic excercises helps people make more real the learning process and are always welcome when the person in charge is able to be aware of the context and different needs from the participants .
- Discussing the themes aproached during the workshop allows to align and state in specific concepts for a better understanding .
So in summary , the more human aproach is more effective in the learning process than the traditional one , but is also needed to specify certain settings as to how to approach diferent people .
Approach
In the end i was able to come to the realization that the service i wanted to provide couldn´t be a standard method , but could have a standard base . So for me to be able to provide that kind of service , i had to come to the next agreements with mi clients before starting any process :
- Meet the person in charge and gather all information posible and ask some more :
o The actual situation o The real need o The expectation o The theories as to why did it happened o The people involved
- Ask for the perspective from the people involved , using a tool created from the information gathered from the first aproach .
- To have a base of different aproaches to develop the themes asked from clients , and be able to adapt the models to tha actual need and context .
- Ask for perfomance indicators that will alow us to evaluate progress in the future .
Making these agreements will allow me to specify the persona type that will receive the services and also allign my efforts to the expectation put on the services and control the evaluation method from the indicators , focusing on the improvemente of those indicators .
What this tool taught me , and the methology itself , is even when i can think that the work is done , it could also be an opportunity to keep improving on time , and to never be too comfortable to not keep improving .

My challenge as a worker for a company that takes place in the food industry world is really interesting . I am positioned in the marketing apartment and of course it is about sale things but of course it is related with different things that makes the customer interested with our company , product and services .
The company works six days a week but us as the marketing team just four days a week making strategies to convince the market that we are the best option for them .
We use external and internal techniques to improve our number of sales , they are employee time , economic resources and also external projects that related use with other companies with or not with the same goal .
Selection
The tool I selected to improve in a better way our company is the learning launch tool which in an exactly definition means “ a small experiment that tests a new idea in the real market place ” .
Application
As a team we choose this tool because we had a lot of new ideas to improve the market and sale of our company , but this tool specially is because we want to risk a little bit opening new venues with different dynamics that of course include our product but un a “ modern ” way .
First of all , we had born a lot of new ideas to implement this new project without taking out the original one , to decide which one is the best we make a lot of experiments faster and cheap because as I say before we had a lot of them .
Secondly we defined the idea which was take our product which was make your own lunch healthy and fast to airports for the people who does n’t have time but want to have something healthy , of course un a way we had formed plates and you just choose , pay and take it away . After that we choose a group of people who has the same flight and gave them some demonstration and in their phone a code to answer if they are satisfy with our product . Of course most of them was yes because we sale a product that satisfy their need and we are better than the competition because we are a fast option but not fast food .
Insight
Inside of this tool ( the experiment ) born different perspectives because some of the client ’s answer was that they do n’t had the need of being healthy but is n’t a bad idea . Of course we think to change some part of the menu , but we decide to continue with the same idea but just implement four different plates that has the taste of being fast food but they at the same time are healthy food .

### Input: Challenge
My challenge as a worker for a company that takes place in the food industry world is really interesting . I am positioned in the marketing apartment and of course it is about sale things but of course it is related with different things that makes the customer interested with our company , product and services .
The company works six days a week but us as the marketing team just four days a week making strategies to convince the market that we are the best option for them .
We use external and internal techniques to improve our number of sales , they are employee time , economic resources and also external projects that related use with other companies with or not with the same goal .
Selection
The tool I selected to improve in a better way our company is the learning launch tool which in an exactly definition means “ a small experiment that tests a new idea in the real market place ” .
Application
As a team we choose this tool because we had a lot of new ideas to improve the market and sale of our company , but this tool specially is because we want to risk a little bit opening new venues with different dynamics that of course include our product but un a “ modern ” way .
First of all , we had born a lot of new ideas to implement this new project without taking out the original one , to decide which one is the best we make a lot of experiments faster and cheap because as I say before we had a lot of them .
Secondly we defined the idea which was take our product which was make your own lunch healthy and fast to airports for the people who does n’t have time but want to have something healthy , of course un a way we had formed plates and you just choose , pay and take it away . After that we choose a group of people who has the same flight and gave them some demonstration and in their phone a code to answer if they are satisfy with our product . Of course most of them was yes because we sale a product that satisfy their need and we are better than the competition because we are a fast option but not fast food .
Insight
Inside of this tool ( the experiment ) born different perspectives because some of the client ’s answer was that they do n’t had the need of being healthy but is n’t a bad idea . Of course we think to change some part of the menu , but we decide to continue with the same idea but just implement four different plates that has the taste of being fast food but they at the same time are healthy food .

Challenge
I am in the Promotion and Marketing Department of a pharmaceutical company and I worked on medications since I joined their team several years ago . Lately , they had a new product a lot different than the ones we used to promote , it is a collagen supplement . And they asked me to put and elaborate a Marketing plan to launch it . I believe we are now in uncertain circumstances and we need to elaborate an innovative action plan different than the ones we previously followed . Hence , I thought to join the team and make it a group work in order for everyone to share their ideas .
Selection
Our team is facing a new and different setting so we need to find a different way to put our action plan by using our imagination . We need to develop a detailed and clear picture of the current situation in the market . I believe a lot in visual thinking that ’s why the first tool I used is Visualization in order to trigger our creativity and to organize our potential useful ideas using different shapes and colours . And most importantly , visualization will help us to develop a unified comprehension of our current situation and a clear identification of our customers that will lead us to put a detailed and specific plan .
Application
After receiving the product training , everyone knew that there are 2 indications for our product : 1 ) Skin aging & 2 ) Joint pain . So I started by asking them the first question “ Who are our customers ? ” and I began writing or sketching on the white board their answers . Then , I have put a circle around all points that are related to skin aging and a square around all points related to joint pain . Hence , we agreed that we have 2 types of customers that are completely different . I , then , drew 2 big circles one in blue representing the customer for skin aging and one in red representing the customer for joint pain . In each circle I gathered all the criteria related to this customer such as the below . We also noticed that in the intersection of the 2 circles there is a small category of customers mid - age women with early joint pain .
This helped us to visualize the bigger pool of potential customers which is the skin aging category , so we have to double our efforts here .
Joint Pain
1.Elderly 2.Male + Female 3.For Pain 4.Poly - medicated an Price issue 5.Not familiar with collagen 6.Based only on prescriptions 7.Consults only Orthopaedists 8.Used to medications , does n’t trust
supplements
9.Get it from pharmacies only
Skin Aging
1.Young Age 2.Female 3.For Beauty 4.No or few chronic medication / no price issue 5.Familiar with collagen for skin 6.Not only based on prescriptions 7.Consults Dermatologists , pharmacists and
beauty specialists
8.Trusts supplements 9.Get it from Pharmacies , Online stores ,
Beauty shops
Middle Age women with
early arthritis
Etc .
Etc .
First Category Second Category
Then we moved to the second question “ How does the process goes in each category from the customer to the purchase of the product ? ” . For this section I have created a unified diagram to be used for all types of clients , they just need to fill the shapes or add sticky notes on them . I thought that if we follow the same approach we will have a unified , clear elaborated picture in our heads that will help us to position any of our ideas more easily . The diagram starts with the client who goes to the first level of influence or reference that will refer him / her to the second level of influence or the purchase location .
For the first category , the only first level of influence is the doctor orthopaedist who will prescribe the product and will send the patient to the pharmacy to get it . As per the second level in this category , it will be the pharmacist who will advise the patient to be compliant to the full treatment period .
Whereas for the second category , the case is much different . There are several first level of influence , such as the dermatologists , the friend ’s previous experience with the product , the social media adds or influencers , the pharmacist or the beauty consultants . And the second level in most of these cases is the purchase location which is also different , it could be not only the pharmacy but also the beauty shop or the para- pharmaceutical online stores .
The third question was “ At what level we should target our effort and budget to influence the customer ’s decision to get our product ? And How ? ” . I also decided to visualize this point on the same previous diagrams but with a different colour and shape . Then I divided our team into 4 groups and each group will work on one of the below categories :
1 . Handling the diagram of joint pain with the orthopaedists and pharmacists 2 . Handling the diagram of the skin aging with the dermatologists and pharmacists 3 . Handling the diagram of the skin aging with the social media influencers and online stores 4 . Handling the diagram of the skin aging with the beauty consultants and the beauty shops
Then each group presented what they prepared and other team members shared their reflection and ideas and we discussed it all together in order to fine - tune our final diagrams .
And finally after reaching the final diagrams with the different types of customers , the different level of influence and the points that we should tackle , we were able to put one clear and specific action plan for each of the previously mentioned 4 categories separately .
Insights
What I have learned from this experience is that visualization is a very important tool in design thinking especially in an unstable or uncertain environment that we are not used to . It helped us to start by thinking in a non - verbal way , to organize our ideas and to trigger some parts of our thinking and creativity . And most importantly it helped us to ensure that all our team members are aligned and have a clear and complete picture of the current market situation . When we all work on the same diagram we can easily understand other ’s point of view and even faster . It also makes it easier to position any idea or reflection while each one is sharing his / her perspectives .
Approach
When each of the 4 groups worked on its diagram separately , each one changed it and added shapes to answer their needs and to show their ideas in the way they find it more suitable . Even though the skeleton of the diagram was the same but each group found a different way to adjust it according to their perspectives and we tried at the end to agree on a unified template presenting all ideas clearly . So next time , I will surely start with the visualization but when it comes to the template diagram creation I wo n’t do it ahead of time alone , instead I am thinking about creating it all of us together in order to start with the most suitable graphic that helps everyone in visualizing their ideas .

CHALLENGE
The tool I used here is mind mapping to define how I made my project successful .
Our project is totally on collecting data using sensors and making them to communicate between different systems to get the desired output . The challenge we faced is we have to deal with lot of electronic items which are really difficult to handle 3 sensors , GSM module , WIFI module and arduino .
Each device holds various data and each have to be programmed and checked
separately and then has to be interconnected with a single program . We used mind mapping knowingly or unknowingly as a tool to match the people ’s knowledge , attitude and skill for assigning people to the particular task in our project .
SELECTION
Mind mapping tool is creating meaning to the data that are collected . It is the
ultimate stage of “ What is ” and which takes to the “ What if ” phase . In our project we have clear idea on end to end process . The difficulty is to manage the work among ourselves . We framed the concepts and processes in a structured manner virtually so that they can be easily available . Mind mapping helped us to finish our project effectively . Here all the ideas are linked by lines to the major and minor siblings , thus we created meaningful content and that could be remembered for long time .
APPLICATION
Our project is to run or shut off the electric motor based on the output from sensors .
First , the process has been sequenced from top to bottom . And also the alternate ideas were also taken into account . We have used projective techniques to rate our ideas , where the objective is at the centre and the various tasks that has to be performed forms the petals of pinwheel and those tasks have been prioritized . We attempted to get the hidden or deeper thoughts from everyone . At the same time , one of us is making note of important and valuable thoughts . And then we discussed how much help we needed in this perspective . We did n’t take the move with traditional ideas , we had a totally collaborative idea generation method . This made us to eliminate HOP(highest paid opinion and loudest voice ) .
Even from buying the components and to programming the logic we have scattered
the work among ourselves . Each electronic component have been assigned to each group , so that they must gain clear knowledge about it and the technical stuffs were shared clearly . Each component must be checked individually by programming , this is where our hard time starts . We are very strong with the logic but we are not that much good in
programming an arduino which is totally a new platform for us . Now here we moved away from big and moved along with small and simple prototypes . We started to develop program for individual component and their performance were observed . Now the team is split up into two groups . One takes care of merging the programs and other on connecting the devices . Both tasks had multiple error and correction strategy .
INSIGHT
It helped me to set the basis and approach points in a structured way . Application of
this tool in our project enlightened us that any concepts or any field can be understood , remembered and retrieved easily if we are following the systematic way from end to end process . Mind mapping helped us a lot to break our scope into detailed tasks . It helps us to set the deadline for each small task .
APPROACH
If I had to review my approach it would be to go more in the field than I did ;
confront my ideas get my hands dirty . From the insight mentioned above I would like to engage with different fields in career by approaching the task assigned to me using mind mapping .

By using wireframe ( mock - up ) we created a very common view , it has been easier to explain what we wanted to do and the IT deparment really understood the goal to achieve and proposed some meaningful solution . We showed our visual representation alto to the business stakeholder and we discovered some gap between what they wanted and what was the experience we designed , so , thanks to the visualization tool , we could adjust some experience .
Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why . Next time we will design a visual representation every time we finish a brainstorming , we want to be sure that people involved has a clear view of the output and we can explain our requirement in a more efficient way

Challenge & Selection
I have heard many leaders in my organization start the town hall meetings with a small story , which narrates the purpose of what , we do and why we do . It really connects us with the speaker and creates curiosity in listening to his talk for the next 45 minutes . I am passionate about training and teaching . I use to conduct workshops for regulatory writing team who are responsible to write the documents required for the approval of the dug by Health Authorities . Writer ’s job is to narrate a story – making complex content in to readable , clear , concise and complete . I always think that something is missing in my workshops , which i could do better . Later , I realized that a small story to connect the audience would be beneficial to break the eyes and direct the focus of the audience .
Application
I would like to take this opportunity to share an example where i used story telling during my lectures . I use to take classes for students in my leisure time . Before , I start my lectures I used to ask two questions to the students . Why are we here ? How can we utilize this irreversible time a memory . Always students learn theory in their classes and often struggle to connect with the real world application . I used to tell them a story about my learning journey – reading theory without orientation towards its application in the real world . It takes a lot of time to connect dots – what we learned , how are we applying in a given scenario . Students use to question me curiously about the situations where i applied the learnings and I use to cover my content of the talk while answering those questions . Most of the time , the lectures use to be conversation and provoke their thoughts on asking right questions ( which i feel is an important attribute to inculcate in students ) .
Insight & Approach
Sometimes due to diverse questions , the focus of the topic is slightly diverted and it ends up in an opportunity to learn and discuss how people pursue their learnings . Slowly overtime , I observed that students started the habit of narrating their views using small experiences , which they face in day - to - day life . I use to give assignments and as a group , they use to present a topic during the class . I was a surprise to me to see different patterns of their narration and it was a revelation for me to dig into more tools related to storytelling . I realized that , I am a boring teacher with unstructured stories . This session gave me an opportunity to reflect on myself and think how we can keep receiver in center and how they would like to hear from us . I understood that , it was not just telling a story but it was about how you connect with others using this tool . How do we maximize our impact in a short time .

Challenge :
I was recruited as a team lead or an Ass . Group leader while being a postdoc . Our group works in the field of cancer research where we culture them in the lab , analyze them , identify drugs that inhibit cancer growth and also identify possible ways to prevent metastasis in the future . We handle many projects and the scope of the project includes technicians , who do routine laboratory work , interns who work on short - term projects , PhDs who work on their doctoral theses on various topics and the IT department which helps us with the maintenance of data , data protection , and security . The Idea of any working group is to work as an effective team . The group I joined was more individuals than a team , low on resources , no smooth flow of information , no communication , directionless and less productive . The challenges included bringing them together as a team , optimizing resources to increase project productivity , improve communication and streamline data management .
Selection :
Since the group was at “ What is ” stage , I used the Mind mapping tool to streamline the whole process of project activities in the group . Briefly , Mind mapping is a design tool which looks for patterns and insights in the whole process or a large data that is available and as explained in Week 3 of the “ Mind mapping tool ” lecture .
Application :
I first gathered the information on all the projects our group handled and spoke to the team members one - on - one . I listed out the methods , the experiments and the tools they used for the projects and the aims of their projects . I discussed my assessment and possibilities with my peers and later spoke to all of the group members and discussed my findings with them .
There were 3 major areas identified for optimization 1 . Resource management 2 . Communication and 3 . Standardizing operation procedures . Under resource management , I divided experimental methods into 2 categories , 1 . Core methods : these are necessary for all the projects and is the backbone of our group ’s projects and everyone has to learn and 2 . Individual : these are project specific methods used for the projects of individual team members where they gain expertise and will be the point of contacts for any help if need be . For communicating the progress of each other ’s projects effectively , I , as an acting group leader , introduced biannual progress reports and weekly data clubs where specific problems hindering an experiment are discussed . Finally , for standardizing the experimental procedures , we decided to write down all the experimental protocols , optimize them together , save them electronically and use these protocols for future experiments .
Insight :
By applying the mind mapping tool . I could identify the key functional areas that were the core issues affecting the productivity of our group . By identifying the core experiments and training everyone in these we can avoid losing samples when the primary technician handling the experiment is unavailable and therefore prevent any effect on the projects . With individual experiment we now know the expertise of a person and therefore can approach the person for expert advice when needed . The progress reports and data clubs will help the projects with suggestions , ideas to improve the projects and in problem - solving when stuck . Standardizing the experimental procedures will help avoid any bias when performing the experiments and also present
a working method to all the team members old and new members easily available making the team an effectively functioning team .
Approach :
For any team to work effectively , it is always important to identify the pillars that make any team or a project effective and viable in this instance it was core and specialized areas , the flow of information ( communication ) and bringing uniformity to experimental approaches ( SOPs ) . For such approaches , the mind mapping tool is a very good tool , defining the “ What is ” before transitioning to “ What if ” .

Convince Employees
Challenge One of the challenges in my workplace as supervisor assistance supervising 270 employees is how to make the employees to be convinced for what is the requirements they need to meet , what is mandatory from them , what instruction they need to follow in order to comply with , defines their responsibilities … etc . All these need to be monitored and tracked all the time in order to comply with to reach the company success .
Selection Visualization is one of the powerful tools to let the employees believe firmly in the truth of something . The visualization tool video in week one in the Design Thinking help me a lot to focus more in this method to convince people .
Application Visualization turns the words and numbers to infographics , diagrams , and statics … etc . what I did for example , first bring the required or mandatory things , describe the benefits , the results of completion , the impact of not completing or not complying . Then , convince the employees by Visualization methods . It will show all information in one drawing or one board .
BiP : Company General Use
Insight This method gives me more confident and be more logic during discussion . This method makes the communication easier and direct to the point . It let the employees re - think to take their right decisions . In addition , visualization let you innovate more ideas how to act or deal with situations . Approach Visualization expand our thinking by using the videos , PowerPoint , infographics … etc . One of the most important idea is changing the employees title as described in the “ The Good Kitchen Story ” in week one in the Design Thinking . It gives employees more confident to do their tasks and meet the requirements .

Challenge & Selection :
The Story telling is in the DNA of Indian People , because every cultural aspect of the Indian tradition has been transferred or cascaded to people generation over generation thru story telling . Turning point for the Great leader Mahatma Gandhi had come from the story of Harichandra told by his mother , from that time he has decided speak only truth . Many of the saints like Ramakrishna Paramahamsar was teaching or preaching thru story . Steve Covey the Management Guru extensively uses the story telling , example in his book “ The 7 habits of Highly effective people . A story where in a railway station two children were making lot of nuisance to the co passenger , who were in the Platform , every one was annoyed and they were upset not only with the children but also with the father who was there and not at all bothered what is going on .
When people started bullying him to control the Kid and they were questioning , why you are not controlling the kids . He told the co passengers that they are coming straight away from the funeral of the kids mother , who died because severe illness . He was so sad and not able to feels what is going around , on the other hand the children were very small to understand the loss of their mother . Then people started taking care of children them self . This has changed the co passenger ’s perception . Thru this story he was trying to convey that do n’t judge and have empathy on the person who is opposite to you . I can never forget , that is the impact of story telling .
Application :
Currently working in an American MNC in India and working in leadership level . One of the main requirement is “ Leader as Teacher ” need to take some management classes , also do regular mentoring . I use the story telling approach these occasions .
One of the training session about challenges faced while moving from a role as working individual to role of a supervisor where one has to get the job done thru the team . I tried to tell them in a story form of my experience and with respect to the context of the course content , how supervisor has the relation in various form with the team as teacher , As Coach , As Mentor and As counselor .
Insight and approach :
In one of the subject called energy management , I used collect various example and illustrate them , how important manage energy than Time . Also the team gets so involved and you can ask them for commitment , what one thing they can start from today . Many of them mail me even after year that saying he maintaining the promise Go for walk , continuing the Journey in Yoga .
In addition , I have good success in Mentoring , where I guide the t Storytelling In addition , I have good success in Mentoring , where I guide the mentee to explore himself thru story telling . Because of this my mentee relationship with peers and supervisor has improved dramatically .

THE CHALLENGE My wife owns a business that sells health and beauty products . As a result of the codvid pandemic and the restrictions that are in place until now , sales fell . delivery personnel had to be fired and operations slowed down . There are restrictions for the sale of products in store . Although deliveries are made at home and at no additional cost , sales do not go up . The option to reduce the price of the product was not an option , there had been product promotions without great variations in sales THE SELECTION We provide solutions through the design thinking method with the aim of increasing sales . but lacking quantitative information , we opted for a journey map as a tool . We carry out the research with regular customers of the products . The journey map was done with 4 costumers . THE APPLICATION For the application of the jurney map we contacted frequent clients , who through interviews via ZOOM could not be face - to - face due to bio - security measures , key questions were asked and they were used to show the benefits of the products . The discoveries when talking directly with our clients generated several hypotheses . We were somehow advancing what would be WHAT IF ? . The results generated in the interviews and through the journal map we were able to do interviews every other day , for a week 15 minutes . the new normal allows us to be flexible in our research methods . In a next meeting and with the results obtained , we opted for some ideas for rapid implementation . INSIGHT & APPROACH The information collected from our clients was very valuable . Despite the quarantine , they continued to buy the products .
• underlying diseases ( reunatism , joint pain )
• Being natural products , our clients felt that they were better than chemical ones .
• Customers knew that the products we sold were fortified with VITAMINS A B C E D OMEGA 3 .
• in times of codvid , is necessary to reinforce the immune system with vitamins .
They valued that the delivery personnel have biosecurity measures in the deliveries of the product . The data we obtained led us to make the decision to make a change in communication on social networks , which is the channel through which more sales are made . We made multimedia material showing the staff making the deliveries with all the biosafety measures , we made more emphasis on the consumption of the product as a vitamin supplement , which in addition to doing good for basic diseases were reinforced with vitamins . Carrying out these two actions obtained from the journey maps and interviews with clients , they gave us enough feedback and insights to better analyze how to arrive objectively in the communication of the product . Although we have not yet had an exponential increase in sales , the level of inquiries about potential customers has risen , which indicates that we are on the right track . The non - traditional tools that design thinking gives us are applicable and flexible even for small businesses such as my wife .

Mind mapping is a tool that was taught to me to visualise and organise information while showing a relationship across the entire concept .
I work as an Innovation Lead for a technology accelerator unit of a university . My work involves working across stakeholders ’ group ( government , corporate , startup , aspiring entrepreneur etc ) to identify promising ideas , products , technology , and opportunity . As part of the process , we are often working at the unknown unknowns space where technologies and solutions are so new that we are not able to predict anything , less so on its ’ impact and outcome accurately .
For example , we are working with a district developer to incorporate innovative solutions , technology and design plans for their upcoming innovation district development plans which will be constructed from 2021 onwards .
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 ) .
Given the complexity of the task , a combination of the different design thinking tools should be used . However , I would like to zone into the “ what if ” phase where we may adopt “ Mind mapping ” .
The reason for this selection being we have massive discussion and exchange of information with the developer over the past months . Therefore , it is time for us to move forward to gather feedback from the wider stakeholders as per the lecture suggested , to set up a yard sale or gallery for the stakeholders to visit and feedback .
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 ) .
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 ) .
With all the information gathered from the developer client , we will connect related ideas , concepts , and to establish the criteria for stakeholders . Specifically , with the visualisation created , the gallery will be a watered - down version of the vision we understand from our exchange .
Unfortunately , due to COVID and the festive year - end season . This exercise will be a thought experiment .
We shall gather a group of 30 - 50 stakeholders , each given a stack of post - it note and pen . Participants will be asked to review the vision gallery and note down information such as what are good ideas , what ideas need improvement .
The participants will be asked to gather back in a group of 5 or 6 to review and share what they pick up . Specifically to group the common theme ( including good ideas and ideas that requires refinement ) together while keeping a tap on the outliers .
Each group will then be asked to share their findings and insights gathered from their discussion .
Our team will take note of the respective sharing and insights , and ask questions to challenge the participants in giving meaningful insight statement . The statement will be used to relate back to the post - it notes grouped earlier to strengthen their connections and representation .
Lastly , we will seek for design criteria statement from the participants that translate the insights gathered for subsequent prototyping or learning launch .
Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why .
By going through the thought experiment , it helps me review my process of engagement with the client .
I ’ve gained more insight that challenges my earlier assumption of what I had for the innovation district . For example , from the developer briefing notes , they wanted specific spaces for autonomous vehicles , drones , shared labs etc . However , as technology progress over the years for the district to be developed , what they needed would be innovative , open and flexible spaces that can be transformed or accommodate the future deployment . This shifted the design focus of the district and how we may approach the client .
In an ideal situation , I would like to go through the entire design thinking process with the client to gather and generate the right information and outcome .
Our current collaboration is based on good faith , however , much of the information is withheld from the developer side due to confidentiality consideration .
It makes the planning and proposal difficult from our side due to the lack of accurate information and full picture .
After going through this design thinking course , it reminds me of the importance of understanding the current situation , before exploring for ideas .

Challenge & Selection
Storytelling is a great tool that I started using it lately . I am a history teacher in a poor country . There are n’t many kids who attend school and those who do do n’t score good grades . Unfortunately the books that we teach are n’t very good . They are focused on memorizing so the students do n’t like them . It was very difficult to me to teach and make the students interested in history . The students are n’t motivated because the subject seems “ boring ” . I tried to do the best I can to change their view of the subject , but I could n’t . I discovered storytelling and it made a huge difference . The classes now are n’t that boring and unappealing . The students also started to share their perspectives and thoughts more then ever . I use their thoughts to develop different strategies to try and find a way that works for them .
Application
The fist time I used storytelling in class the students were amazed and surprised . In that day I told them not to bring their books . I taught the lesson using day to day language and I drew the characters on the board . We performed a play in the next lesson . After that I was the one who is surprised . A group from the class taught the lesson . It was a very successful method and the scored the highest grades in the state ! But there was a student who always sat in the back and never participated . I knew that he needed attention . I asked him to come to my office and got him a drink . It appears that he is a shy person and that he is afraid from interacting with people because he was bullied in his previous class .
Insight & Approach
I was shocked and devastated a bit because I should ’ve known earlier but I did n’t . Clearly it was time for me to open up with my story . I told him that I knew how he felt because I was bullied as well when I was at school and how painful it was because I was suffering alone . I told him how I was too scared to tell anyone . I also shared with him how I got through it with the help of m teacher . I also tried to explain to him that not all people are bullies , he was a bit comfortable after
that and motivated as well . So in the next lesson , and for the first time he engaged with the rest of the class and gradually he made some friends as well . Sometimes a little story can do a lot of good . This course made me see storytelling in a new way . When I 've done it before it was n’t really that interesting , but now I can prepare ahead and think of stories and methods that will assist me in presenting my ideas and receive m students thoughts too .

Challenge
I got to work on a Project of a very old hotel set amongst the lush tropical gardens and palm trees , offereing unique views of the creek . This creek side , 3 - Star hotel offers a relaxed , old - charm atmosphere with 82 spacious Rooms ( deluxe & executive ) and Suites located over two wings and 24 hour room service . Its three restaurants serve Buffet and A la carte selections with various cuisines . One such restaurant , SeaFront BBQ and Grill is acclaimed as Karachi 's finest , fine - dining , BBQ buffet , with the most serene and beautiful atmosphere . Even though this was a 50 + year old place , it was struggling to attract new customers & retain existing ones . The challenge was this restaurant ’s sales being dropped year on year and hurting the overall business of hotel . The project scope was for three months and we had to come up with reasons for loss of sales , and prepare an action plan for revamping it to meet customer needs . We tried focusing on what all major stakeholders had to say about the various reasons leading to drop in sales . There also seemed to be a disconnect within the internal stakeholders as focus was not given on this part of the business in last several years . Eventually , we had to come up with appropriate strategies for reaching out to customers and improve overall brand image , resulting in increase in revenue for the hotel .
Selection
We had already conducted secondary research of the hotel industry in general and restaurant industry in specific . We learnt the trends going on and how we should reach out to our customers . The project started off with studying what the current positioning of the restaurant is in the mind of the customers . How the marketing team is running the restaurant and what changes are required to make it more successful . We conducted surveys as part of primary research . Survey ranged from quantitative open- ended qualitative questions , and were taken by all customers that came in for two weeks . We also did interviews with the owner & marketing team of the hotel to find out current activities being conducted . We knew we had to increase digital marketing presence , create awareness of the restaurant , target a new audience , provide incentive for customer retention , have exciting menu . All of this had to be tested as to what works and what does n’t . We selected Learning Launch approach so that we could try multiple different ideas within short span of time . Also , since the results were instant and on - spot it helped to make changes in our action and come again with better approach .
Application
We worked with the PR manager and designer of the restaurant to take some fresh photographs of the restaurant . Increased frequency & nature of posts on Facebook page which resulted in better engagement with the audience . We created specific posts for different age groups and targeted them with specific dishes that they would like , since it was a buffet and everything was available for everyone . Social media posts included questions so we could see what our audience wanted , and they were relatable so that people could share those posts within their circles of friends and family . While we conducted these activities , we kept our primary research on . We found out that out of total customers , about 15 % had come to visit for the first time by looking at the social media posts . This tested our
assumption that we need to be more present on social media to attract customers , and age group specific posts were needed to address different customers . We also gathered their feedback to improve , as we wanted to retain these new customers .
Using these findings , we wanted to scale the marketing scope using limited money . We gathered some influential bloggers available and hosted a free dinner for them . We conducted the bloggers meetup that had bloggers from different backgrounds and tastes . The bloggers further gave us their feedbacks for improvement that were added in idea generation process . The bloggers were supposed to write about us and mention us on different platforms . All bloggers reviewed us online and mentioned us on their social media accounts . This way we were able to reach out to a much larger and relevant audience through these people . Within two weeks of this meetup , we saw an overall increase of 25 % in the customer flow . This further validated the need for awareness and marketing .
Insight & Approach
By applying the learning launch tool , our team identified our assumptions based on some research , and designed launches to test these assumptions . The restaurant needed a very consistent approach in reaching out to their customer , in order to retain them . It also builds my confidence in this Learning launch tool as testing and learning from results was a very effective way . There were multiple assumptions for the challenge , but they had to be looked at very objectively and with keen focus as to how it can overall increase the brand image and customer footfall giving sales to the owner . The approach of ‘ failing cheap and fast ’ was applicable here , as we had to use limited resources in hand and produce results with actionable insights . While conducting those surveys , we found out some really interesting things that we had n’t initially thought of . For e.g. new customers really liked the ambiance of the restaurant and the service . We now knew that these two things could be a key focus in restaurant ’s future marketing communications .
Approach
Even though this learning launch tool provided great insights as to what needed to be done differently to bring in results , I would like to work on visualization in the initial phase . If there was more time in the project scope , we could have used visualization to come up with various ‘ What Ifs ’ . I would gather more data and speak to more stake holders , for e.g. the chefs , waiters , Operations team , competitors to have much more in - depth answers . It would have various opinions and brainstorming would be much better . We could get to the roots of the problem and reach out to people that are involved in the whole process . The people working in it would be the key people to provide insights . Then eventually using all these insights , I would have to use Learning launch tool to generate the results .

1.- Challenge
I am a university professor , one of the main challenges for me is to get my students to break with many of the traditional thoughts in the way of doing things and in the mechanisms that lead them to make decisions . Those thoughts are normally taught at home . Most of my students are from a lower - middle socioeconomic level , which influences that the focus of their families is mainly on trying to cover basic or security needs with a short - term vision and their decisions are in that sense . As explained by the video .
It is important to mention that some strategies that are seen in the course , I have already applied in class , for example , Mind mapping .
2.- Selection : Mind Mapping
It is a tool for developing creativity through linking and correlating the different aspects that may be related to solving a problem . I selected it for my challenge because it is a very useful tool for students . Today university students have an infinite capacity for thought and connection of ideas , I think that they must be guided and given the tools that facilitate them to systematically find these paths so that they can be able to find solutions to the current problems that we are facing , that they become entrepreneurs who attack social and economic environmental problems but with a different perspective , since we can see that classical thinking has not necessarily created positive results in the environment , for example .
In this tool it is very important to have different profiles that allow the construction of a diversity of complementary points of view , that is , if there are different perspectives on the same problem , surely a more creative and comprehensive solution to a problem can be built ,
My goal is to make my university students understand that there are different mechanisms of thought and very useful tools , that will allow them to save time and effort in achieving their achievements , and that one of the key aspects for them to achieve this is to break the paradigms that they have and open your mind to new knowledge building options . For this I have applied Mind mapping and combine it with visualization .
The reference of the video is Marian Moore 's explanation where she indicates that this tool seeks different patterns and perspectives that lead to more creative solutions to the design challenge .
3.- Application :
What I already do in my classes is the following :
- Divide students into 5 teams of 8 people
- The teams are made up of different racing profiles
- I explain the methodology and ask that each team develop a map , the most diverse they can do and that they do not discard any idea .
- An environmental problem arises
- Later they have to present their map and at the end of the class I invite you to understand how the contributions of the 8 people was very important and it is even more so when the contributions of the five teams are added , achieving a greater impact by having a vision broader and more constructive on the same problem .
- Which can lead to a more creative solution to the problem ,
4.- Insight & Approach
According to previous occasions where I have applied this knowledge , the results are diverse , fortunately , it is a fun and constructive method that gives high value to teamwork , which is why my students are excited to learn it .
The result obtained is the development of their vision , many times the students are surprised by the results when they did not initially think that the contributions made were important . They have understood that no idea is initially discarded because it can serve to build others . Another significant learning is that by having a map they can visually correlate ideas and see solutions that they could not see before . This has led them to have a greater commercial sensitivity and develop business opportunities .
5.- Approach
The next time I apply this tool , I will be much more creative myself so that my students find more and better business opportunities and improvement of the environment . Surely over time I will be improving and understanding more how to help them better and so that they perfect the method and internalize it in their way of thinking .
I am going to combine this tool with visualization and also with teamwork dynamics , I think it can be of great benefit for the development of different managerial and directive skills to achieve results .

### Input: MIND MAPPING IN UNIVERSITY CLASSES
1.- Challenge
I am a university professor , one of the main challenges for me is to get my students to break with many of the traditional thoughts in the way of doing things and in the mechanisms that lead them to make decisions . Those thoughts are normally taught at home . Most of my students are from a lower - middle socioeconomic level , which influences that the focus of their families is mainly on trying to cover basic or security needs with a short - term vision and their decisions are in that sense . As explained by the video .
It is important to mention that some strategies that are seen in the course , I have already applied in class , for example , Mind mapping .
2.- Selection : Mind Mapping
It is a tool for developing creativity through linking and correlating the different aspects that may be related to solving a problem . I selected it for my challenge because it is a very useful tool for students . Today university students have an infinite capacity for thought and connection of ideas , I think that they must be guided and given the tools that facilitate them to systematically find these paths so that they can be able to find solutions to the current problems that we are facing , that they become entrepreneurs who attack social and economic environmental problems but with a different perspective , since we can see that classical thinking has not necessarily created positive results in the environment , for example .
In this tool it is very important to have different profiles that allow the construction of a diversity of complementary points of view , that is , if there are different perspectives on the same problem , surely a more creative and comprehensive solution to a problem can be built ,
My goal is to make my university students understand that there are different mechanisms of thought and very useful tools , that will allow them to save time and effort in achieving their achievements , and that one of the key aspects for them to achieve this is to break the paradigms that they have and open your mind to new knowledge building options . For this I have applied Mind mapping and combine it with visualization .
The reference of the video is Marian Moore 's explanation where she indicates that this tool seeks different patterns and perspectives that lead to more creative solutions to the design challenge .
3.- Application :
What I already do in my classes is the following :
- Divide students into 5 teams of 8 people
- The teams are made up of different racing profiles
- I explain the methodology and ask that each team develop a map , the most diverse they can do and that they do not discard any idea .
- An environmental problem arises
- Later they have to present their map and at the end of the class I invite you to understand how the contributions of the 8 people was very important and it is even more so when the contributions of the five teams are added , achieving a greater impact by having a vision broader and more constructive on the same problem .
- Which can lead to a more creative solution to the problem ,
4.- Insight & Approach
According to previous occasions where I have applied this knowledge , the results are diverse , fortunately , it is a fun and constructive method that gives high value to teamwork , which is why my students are excited to learn it .
The result obtained is the development of their vision , many times the students are surprised by the results when they did not initially think that the contributions made were important . They have understood that no idea is initially discarded because it can serve to build others . Another significant learning is that by having a map they can visually correlate ideas and see solutions that they could not see before . This has led them to have a greater commercial sensitivity and develop business opportunities .
5.- Approach
The next time I apply this tool , I will be much more creative myself so that my students find more and better business opportunities and improvement of the environment . Surely over time I will be improving and understanding more how to help them better and so that they perfect the method and internalize it in their way of thinking .
I am going to combine this tool with visualization and also with teamwork dynamics , I think it can be of great benefit for the development of different managerial and directive skills to achieve results .

One of my main functions is brand management , that is , to show our audiences a uniform and consistent brand at all points of contact and in all our business units . The problem is the misuse of the brand by employees . In each business unit the employees use the brand in their presentations and communications in a bad way , they use it in the way they want or think , even distorting the brand in some ways , adding new images or for example changing the shape in which it should be used , or by changing the corporate letters and colors . Despite having a brand manual , it is not used and we assume that it is not understood by our employees and in this way we are giving an uneven and inconsistent image of the brand in each business unit and in each country . Our challenge is to maintain a uniform and consistent image and use of the brand at all points of contact and communications with our internal and external customers in all our business units to improve and unify our image . The progress of the project includes the IT department and the human resources department and the marketing department which I lead . We will use internal resources for the execution of the project and should not exceed 30 business days . We will work in teams to discover how the brand is used by our employees and what they find problematic in its application in their day - to - day communications . Selection After having gone through several stages of design thinking and having found a problem in the misuse of the brand by employees , we have decided to test the learning launch tool which is an experiment designed to quickly test our idea and prototype . We decide to use this tool because the process of using the brand already exists but not in an orderly manner , and we believe that with a prototype we could learn and improve the experience of the correct use of the brand .
Also , as this prototype is an online software , it will be easy to implement by our IT department with the help of Marketing and Human Resources . You can see information on how to make a quick and easy software prototype in the following link https://www.bell-kelly.net/tag/tags/categoriesprivacy.htm ( you have to change the language to english ) Application The learning launch tool was applied effectively . Our launch was focused on learning how and in what way ( processes ) the brand was used by our workers , for which we launched an interactive portal type prototype ( online software ) with some brand resources such as logos , colors , corporate letters , images , powerpoint templates , digital signatures , etc . , which allows communication documents with the established parameters of use of the brand . In addition , with which , presentations , communications and emails could be designed and edited online and could be linked to the outlook platform for sending or downloading for other uses and in this way maintaining the uniformity of the brand . Besides that , it would have a survey to know what uses and how employees use the brand and what suggestions they would have . To make the use of this prototype attractive and engaged , we held a contest to reward those who make the best presentations and best uses of the brand in the space of one month . In this way we made the application of the prototype quick and effective and used by all Workers . We only did this launch in one business unit ( one country ) to learn and then improve the product . Insight With the learning tool we were able to affirm our assumptions by verifying that there was a high rate of employees who used the prototype and they managed to improve the use of the brand in their communications and they were also able to learn more how it should be used . We also found that employees take satisfaction in seeing their better - designed presentations and feel pride in their brand applied properly .
In their comments we discovered that most do not understand well how a brand should be used with the design parameters , they do not understand brand manuals and that is why they do not use them . It was also identified that the lack of good use of the brand is due to ignorance in the management of office and design software , thinking that this is only the responsibility of the marketing department . Before the prototype most of the employees saw the use of the brand well in the applications they make , not being able to distinguish whether it is misapplied or not . With all this new knowledge granted by the use of design thinking through the prototype , we can improve it until we obtain a version that covers all the needs of our employees to use the brand and we have a consistent and unified brand image . Approach With the knowledge obtained , the team plans to improve the brand portal prototype ( online software ) , making it easier to use and that brings a more understandable brand use , such as its brand guidelines , and also add tutorials on the use of office and design software to improve the presentations and communications of the employees , in addition to enriching the brand portal in different ways like a integrates chat or forum so that becomes an indispensable piece in the use of employees communications . And in the future make it a collaborative place to prepare documents in which multiple users can edit the same document in real time . After checking the new assumptions in the new experiments , and these being positive , the final product will be developed and implemented in the other business units and then it will be scaled to all the business units of the company .

Challenge
Getting consumers to articulate what they feel is a very difficult task . This is not only because of the fact that they do not wish to admit some of the not - so - popular feelings but , in many cases , they find it difficult to articulate any feeling . Due to this , it becomes very difficult for researchers and product developers to identify the need gaps in the customers life and identify solutions that will help them address the need gap .
I am a career market researcher and I have been working with varied customers from the under- privileged to the largest of the businesses and I have seen this inability to clearly articulate their feeling to be consistent across all the segments . It is only that the extent differs .
Selection
Based on my experience , I have witnessed that Visualization as a tool does wonders in eliciting subliminal feelings and perceptions of individuals and help them build on their thoughts a lot more . I have used visualization in one - to one scenario and in group scenarios with my research respondents and I have found them to be able to articulate their views a lot more robustly . Also , I have found that the respondents are able to build on from one aspect to another as they start seeing a pattern emerging in front of them
Application
I have used visualization in several scenarios . However , as a case in point , I am describing the manner in which I have effectively used the tool in driving service level efficiencies in an online delivery system . Apart from several other modules that we used including home visits , we also invited a few of the delivery agents to a room to talk to us about their experience of delivery and identify areas of improvements . We realized that the delivery agents were not really comfortable talking about it at all . There were multiple reasons for that
- They were doing the task the same way and did not know what else could change
- They were in a group who were potential competitors too . They did not want to look poorly in front of them
- They did not want to show their organization in poor light in front of an external person ( after all , we were external consultants )
As moderators , we started sharing photos with them of different instances of deliveries . We made sure that these photos were not linked to them or their organization and , thus , they could find out potential positives and negatives on each of the photographs . The respondents were happy to share their views as they were able to externalize the problem through the photos . Based on the feedback , we started grouping the positives and negatives into groups based on the type of activities . We ran this through multiple photos and images .
Once done , we started reconstructing the process the agents followed themselves , bringing in the positives that we learnt from the exercise and removing the negatives … . this was drawn as a flow chart and each agent started adding value to the process . The most rewarding part of the whole process was that , after a point in time , the agents walked up to the board and started making changes on their own without our intervention .
Insights
The process provided significant insights to us in terms of redefining the process for the online delivery organization . What was really pleasing to note was the fact that the respondents walked in to add their value to the whole process by the time we were closing the process .
Other key insights that I learnt through this process were :
- Externalizing is a great way to weed out the fears of the respondents and get them to share
- Visualization helps the respondents connect and build a cohesive narrative
- Photographs and images are wonderful ways to build scenarios and connect the process flow
Finally , images speak 1000 words ! The visualization approach helped in eliciting responses from the delivery agents inspite of their lower articulation abilities and being low on creative thinking . Thus , we were able to provide inputs for redesigning the entire delivery process
Approach
The overall findings came out very well and the recommendations were well accepted too . Given this , there are not a lot of reasons for changing the approach . Some modifications would definitely be helpful . Some of these are :
- Getting the respondents to draw or identify photographs of scenario that best explains their perspective of the process . They could be actual photos of delivery or could also be used as metaphors .
- Engage the respondents in co - creating visualization process rather than initially leading the visualization process
- Close loop the process with the end customers to get them to visualize the output and share their views

Challenge - Diagnostic imaging procedures are cutting - edge technology .but at the same time they are an unpleasant experience for patients- and even more for paediatric patients .
Selection The following incident narrates the fearful and apprehensive mindset of a frail young girl , while she was heading towards an MRI scanner , clutching her parent 's hands . As she was startled and intimidated in anticipation of what might lay ahead in the MRI machine . The girl grew panicky and nervous . She started crying and sniffling loudly . Anyone walking past her watched her wept or sob . Her parents hushed her and said ‘ Have n't we discussed how brave you are ? Her parents drew a brave facade as if they were n't worried . Tears did roll down her cheeks upon seeing the environment . The little eyes saw the MRI technician calling the anesthesiologist.it could be seen that hospitals regularly sedated their patients to eliminate their fear & anxiety before the MRI scanning . Approximately 80 % of patients are given anaesthesia before MRI . And if the anesthesiologist is n't available the scan has to be postponed and suspended until the next time , causing a cycle of worry all over again .
Application As empathetic individuals , we can sense the psychological tension and terror in children 's minds related to the environment of the MRI room . All we can do is design and construct the room in a way that suits their comfort and style . Like- establishing cartoon - painted walls , adding the playable stuff like toys and other material . This might help in reducing their stress while making them more comfortable and distracted .
Insight Such insightful suggestions if executed can make children feel safe and sound . Adding to the idea , we can even transform the Dangerous - looking MRI machine & the environment of the room into a happy place for kids . It is likely to make children less fearful but keeping them more preoccupied .
Approach The engineers have been able to indulge themselves in creative ideas of redesigning the MRI scanner . Such that , it changes the outlook or outward appearance of the Machine a little differently .
Organisation GE- Healthcare was able to understand the psyche of a child , Which enabled them to implement and execute whatever they had intended . Thus , they accomplished their goal .

We are a technology start up that deals with the sale and installation of motor vehicle trackers . We have been marketing our products using traditional methods of selling our products which include cold calling , word of mouth , referrals and nesting and door to door selling . This way we have been employing sales agents who we pay a retainer and commissions per sale and installation technicians who take home a salary . However after covid 19 hit , it has become increasingly difficult to continue selling the traditional way . For example cold calling organizations and nesting as our method of marketing have become difficult to achieve as people are now working from home . Physical meetings with potential clients have become tricky as everyone is trying to observe social distance . Business has gone really down and affecting revenues for the company making it unsustainable to continue paying salaries . As a company we are looking to venture into digital advertising especially on social media something we have not done before and are not sure if it will work . We are also looking into outsourcing installation technicians paying them per piece meal rather than employing them on a salary and completely eliminating the sales agents .

We decided to take the learning approach which we felt is the best approach to find out if digital marketing will work in the sale and distribution of our trackers . We appreciate that people are at home now and our assumption is that they will spend more time online and especially on social media . We therefore believe sponsored ads of face book twitter and Instagram will help us reach many people .
Application
To help us find out in the first learning launch tool we interviewed our friends in other industries doing the same and it was clear that social media marketing had worked and significantly improved their revenues especially people in retail selling clothes , shoes and home décor . We interviewed around 15 of them face to face . The only dilemma we had is whether this would work for car trackers which is a more technical field .
With this in mind we were ready for the second launch . For our second learning launch we planned to interview stake holders using questionnaires . We would ask questions to our potential clients on the likelihood that they will procure motor vehicle trackers online . We will sample digital taxi vehicle owners , commercial vehicle owners and private vehicle owners .
On the issue of outsourcing technicians we planned to visit garages in different towns including the capital city where we are based to interview wiring technicians to ask them about their willingness to be outsourced whenever there is an installation in their town . We appreciate that with social media marketing we will reach clients all over the country and we want to eliminate the transport and accommodation costs we incur sending technicians to do installations outside the capital by outsourcing technicians domiciled in the respective towns
Insight
With these assumptions in mind we were ready to tests our assumptions . We were ready for an approval and disapproval of our assumptions . We were also ready for feedback on improvement and value addition to the process in case of approval . From these experiments we learnt that truly more people were spending time online and doing purchases . There was positive feedback from potential clients on their willingness to procure online . Technicians were also willing to be outsourced whenever there was a client as most were not employed by the garages they worked from hence their flexibility . This also as meant more revenue for them . For us this meant laying off our staff from permanent employment reducing our salary burden
We went ahead and started paying for the sponsored ads on social media . We also figured that with reduced costs of operations we lower our prices for the tracker offering a very competitive price ( in fact the lowest in the market ) to attract more people as generally incomes for most people had been negatively affected by Covid 19 . We would them leverage our profits on the large number of people buying .
With this type of marketing we were able to increase our sales and revenues and reduce costs of operation as the advertisements are not as expensive as hiring people . The lowered price of trackers which was the lowest in the market saw us realize high number of sales as we were able to meet the clients need for trackers even with reduced incomes due to Covid 19 .
We encountered some challenges on the pricing though because the market had n’t seen such a low prices for motor vehicle trackers before . There were doubts here and there on the effectiveness of the gadgets .
Approach
We could not have done it any other way apart from using the learning launch tool . We will now focus on value addition in order to make this model more reliable and sustainable .

### Input: Challenge
We are a technology start up that deals with the sale and installation of motor vehicle trackers . We have been marketing our products using traditional methods of selling our products which include cold calling , word of mouth , referrals and nesting and door to door selling . This way we have been employing sales agents who we pay a retainer and commissions per sale and installation technicians who take home a salary . However after covid 19 hit , it has become increasingly difficult to continue selling the traditional way . For example cold calling organizations and nesting as our method of marketing have become difficult to achieve as people are now working from home . Physical meetings with potential clients have become tricky as everyone is trying to observe social distance . Business has gone really down and affecting revenues for the company making it unsustainable to continue paying salaries . As a company we are looking to venture into digital advertising especially on social media something we have not done before and are not sure if it will work . We are also looking into outsourcing installation technicians paying them per piece meal rather than employing them on a salary and completely eliminating the sales agents .

1 . Challenge
Now , I am studying in faculty of science , and working with my team lab , consist of my advisor and lab members . The challenge of our work is the observation of new things that anyone does not see before . Thus , I must to do several experiments and design the procedure all the time to obtain new observation .
2 . Selection
Mind - mapping is a good way that I use to plan our experiment with lab group because it is easy to see the large picture of our work by using different colors with different thinking ways in mind - mapping .
3 . Application
First , we define the problem about what is the interesting thing now that can help us to catch main concept of our work . We will think about what is the main problem that occurred in this situation . In this stage , we can see several comments from lab members and then put the popular thing to further think .
Then , when we can choose the topic , the procedure of the experiment will be considered . The ideals for our experiment are low cost , environmental friendly , and save time . We will draw the line from the main topic about the procedure .
Next , we will think about the prototype with the experiment that how to set the experiment . We will draw more line on mind - mapping about this with different color pens .
For doing mind - mapping , I can see the overall or large picture of our work . It is effective to further think .
4 . Insight
When we can see the overall of our think , we will take action about the experiments ; depend on our planning and ideas in mind - mapping . If the experiment results are good , it is ok . However , if the experiment results are not good enough , we will return to the hypothesis that what ’s wrong with our planning . This is the challenge because if I plan and think as systematic like this as mind - mapping , I can rapidly see and fix my problem .
5 . Approach
As previously mentioned , our lab members still do and discuss about the experiments . For next time , we still use mind - mapping to plan and apply in our work because it still good to understand and see the large picture of our work . I think that the planning as mind - mapping can help us to reach the goal .

Challenge and selection
Mind mapping is a very innovative tool . As I teach students of engineering background , this tool always helps me to motivate students to develop creative solution of any problem . The basic challenge with the engineering students was the approach , they always think in a traditional approach in which they are habitual to use their left side of the brain . For designing of any engineering solution , usually , students were dependent on the past data/ past engineering solutions/ literature that give them traditional thinking solutions . I use mind mapping techniques frequently with the students and colleagues for research purposes . I have used sticky notes technique with the students by giving them a problem and asked for identifying the pattern and theme lying inside the diversified data . This technique is very helpful to communicate diversified views on a particular problem by the individuals .
Application
I would like to share a mind - mapping technique used by the engineering students of our university . I have given a problem “ how to make online education more interesting and engaging ” to the students to develop creative solutions . Students were divided into different groups of five members each . Each student has given time ( 30 minutes ) to explore the information or data from the partner / students of other groups ( survey ) or from the internet . Then , the students have to write their views on sticky notes and place them on the whiteboard . Every student had written their views and placed them on the board . After the inspection by me , I told to identify the pattern or theme from the various sticky notes and the theme/ pattern should be written on the top as the title from other colored sticky notes and put all the relevant sticky notes below that title so that we can identify the various patterns from the different views given by the students . Students were very excited and we recorded the highest participation in the session due to the adoption of a new methodology . Students were given different views from which the pattern was identified to brainstorm .
Insight and approach
The learning I got from conducting this activity is that the students have ideas and creative minds to develop any creative solution but we need to motivate them for a systematic approach to develop creative solutions like mind mapping . As we have used sticky notes to share the various maybe even wild views related to problems which given them some pattern to think for a possible creative solution , this kind of mind mapping technique should be used to develop an out of the box solutions .
Apart from sticky notes which I have used randomly , I came to know the different techniques of mind mapping from this course , now I will be more confident to use the various mind mapping techniques to communicate the views of individuals and make students use most of these techniques .

Challenge & Selection
The tool that I used is visualisation tool , to make sure that the problem statement is clearly understood by a diverse group of stakeholders before even attempting to identify and define possible solutions to the problem and also all of the problem statements are grey area topics and hence it ’s very important that everyone ’s understanding on the problem statement is elegant
To dig deeper my role in the organisation is to solve the problems that our clients face no matter how trivial the problem is by using , adapting and implementing innovative solutions which we have in the company in a cost effective way either through co - partnership model or agile contracting but due to this COVID pandemic there is very less demand from the clients end and there is an ever growing demand from the technology companies to proactively approach them and address the challenges which would help the client to be able to function in the best frugal way which is the need of the hour .
As a part of this exercise I have carried out initial research on trending topics in the applicable industry and also referred to the account ’s internal business challenges report after which I have shortlisted few of the problem statements based on the following assumptions - the severity of the problem both financially and operationally and the impact it would have once the issue is resolved
Post which it was time to do primary research in which there are set of probing questions for various stakeholder from clients side and also internal stakeholders and the questions are framed in such a way that it enables a clear understanding on the scope , boundaries , exact pain point and the solutions that are relevant/ applicable
Application :
Then it ’s time to invite everyone and conduct a design thinking workshop that involves diverse teams to come up with solution ideas and before that there ’s a graphic that ’s drawn on the whiteboard that depicts what the problem exactly is , supported data points that we have
A sheet will be given to each one of them that contains the research findings pertaining to the problem statement and sticky notes to record the solution and each one can come up with multiple solutions and there is no limit on that
I have used minto pyramid analysis ( sort of visualisation tool which is used to process and structure large amounts of information to convey a story , message or presentation without omitting important detail )
To explain the timeline it is explaining the problem statement – 5 mins , Time to digest the problem statement – 10 mins and 30 mins to think of various solutions and 45 mins on solution discussion
Once they have come up with the solutions we ’ll have to categorise the solutions that the stakeholders came up and this case I had done it in 3 parts
To identify the themes which we are feasible if feasible do we have an internal solution/ solution is feasible
Or
Themes which are feasible but we do n’t have any internal solution
Or
That the proposed solution is not feasible or applicable at all
Based on these segregations we have first looked at our internal solutions which are feasible and have analysed if the problem could be solved with the already available assets at our disposal and analysed the cost factors to the ease of the solution through which we will be able to shortlist a solution
Post which we will draw the revised graphic that depicts the implementation of the shortlisted solution that incorporates the team ’s feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group
Insights & Approach
The main pointer that we need to keep in mind is as a moderator of the session one needs to have an open mind and not be partial to anything and hence the reason moderator is never a decision maker and all he / she does is facilitate the session and abide by the participants decisions
Other pointer is it ’s not a group discussion each and every participant ’s opinion in the session is designated in a particular category as in this case feasible solution but no internal solution that we can leverage etc .
In addition yet again it underlies the importance of visualisation tool and how it makes the job easy and helps to get everyone on the same page without a differing opinion and this graphic keeps on changing dynamically based on the participants opinion and it serves a focal point for all discussions that allows them to share their perspectives and develop insights into potential root causes of their problems thereby reinforcing their understanding of the problem they are working to solve
Visualisation also helps to identify any shortcomings in the problem statement or that the data we have so far i.e. is there anything additional to be added to the graphic and in what areas they need to obtain information etc .

1 . Challenge :
The Ministry of Education has decided that blended learning will be used as a
form of teaching for the new school semester until further notice . Many of the
teachers who are already technology - oriented have adjusted quite easily for the
impending change . However , there are teachers of various age groups who are
more resistant to the change for varying reasons . In light of this , the principals were
asked to identify such teachers and come up with a strategy which would assist
these teachers to become adept at using computers , tablets and other forms of
technological devices to deliver instruction to their students at different levels . As
the Information Technology correspondent for the school , I have been given the
responsibility of planning intervention activities for the teaching staff to help solve
this issue .
2 . Selection :
I have selected the mind mapping tool . A mind mapping tool helps you to locate
patterns and gain insight into the challenge expounded in the design . It is a visual
representation of the ideas in my head ( brainstorming ) . Mind maps are an easy way
to organize your ideas and present it to a group ( eg . My students , colleagues , etc . ) .
It is also a great collaboration tool , where members of a team can make changes or
add ideas easily to a group mind map .
I immediately went to this tool for my purpose because I am naturally a person
who looks for links and patterns in ideas to help me with daily tasks . Therefore , I
DESIGN THINKING FOR INNOVATION Leslie Young PEER REVIEW ASSIGNMENT
believe this tool would be more manageable for me to use . Young ( Mind
Mapping Tool ) made reference to something David Kelley ( founder of IDEO )
mentioned : “ When I 'm trying to do something creative , I make a mind - map . ” In my
case , we are looking for a creative way to bring the product training to the
customer . This tool is perfect for designing our intent .
3 . Application :
To begin , we added the overall issue in the center of the map ( Introducing
Technology as Teaching Tools for Teachers ) on a large whiteboard . It can be
worded as a question to be answered ( How can we introduce technology as
teaching tools for our teachers ? ) or left as a statement . Then , we added branches
to identify the main categories or areas of interest ( types of technology ,
characteristics of target teachers , curriculum guide , tools needed ) . These
categories are written on the branch lines in a brief manner to avoid clutter . Next ,
we add “ child branches ” to each category branch as the ideas come . There is no

the idea has some form of a connection with the main idea and it can be

Using this tool has provided me with several positive outlooks about design
thinking and planning . First , it shows me how to structure my way of thinking for
maximum effectiveness of planning . No matter how big my problem may seem , the
mind map can simplify and show relationships among ideas that I may not even
think about initially . Next , it helps improve my memory . It is much easier to retain
information that is written briefly than in long sentences . Finally , it has helped me be
more creative with approaches to challenges . Sometimes we have been using one
way of solving problems for so long , we do not leave room for new and innovative
ways of thinking . This tool has broadened the way I think about thinking .
5 . Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same
tool you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why .
I can see myself using the mind mapping tool in the future to design solutions for
challenges . What I envision doing different is using online tools and computer
software instead of the whiteboard . Using the mind map online enables better and
easier collaboration among team members , where changes made by one person is
immediately saved , updated and shared with everyone . There are excellent tools
which allow you to embed videos and files in the mind map presentation . This
allows information to be shared effectively and allows for different learning styles to
be catered to ( visual learners appreciate videos and pictures , while linguistic
learners appreciate phrases and paragraphs ) . This tool is flexible in its use and I
look forward to continue to use it for practical problem - solving opportunities .

1 . Challenge :
The Ministry of Education has decided that blended learning will be used as a
form of teaching for the new school semester until further notice . Many of the
teachers who are already technology - oriented have adjusted quite easily for the
impending change . However , there are teachers of various age groups who are
more resistant to the change for varying reasons . In light of this , the principals were
asked to identify such teachers and come up with a strategy which would assist
these teachers to become adept at using computers , tablets and other forms of
technological devices to deliver instruction to their students at different levels . As
the Information Technology correspondent for the school , I have been given the
responsibility of planning intervention activities for the teaching staff to help solve
this issue .
2 . Selection :
I have selected the mind mapping tool . A mind mapping tool helps you to locate
patterns and gain insight into the challenge expounded in the design . It is a visual
representation of the ideas in my head ( brainstorming ) . Mind maps are an easy way
to organize your ideas and present it to a group ( eg . My students , colleagues , etc . ) .
It is also a great collaboration tool , where members of a team can make changes or
add ideas easily to a group mind map .
I immediately went to this tool for my purpose because I am naturally a person
who looks for links and patterns in ideas to help me with daily tasks . Therefore , I
DESIGN THINKING FOR INNOVATION Leslie Young PEER REVIEW ASSIGNMENT
believe this tool would be more manageable for me to use . Young ( Mind
Mapping Tool ) made reference to something David Kelley ( founder of IDEO )
mentioned : “ When I 'm trying to do something creative , I make a mind - map . ” In my
case , we are looking for a creative way to bring the product training to the
customer . This tool is perfect for designing our intent .
3 . Application :
To begin , we added the overall issue in the center of the map ( Introducing
Technology as Teaching Tools for Teachers ) on a large whiteboard . It can be
worded as a question to be answered ( How can we introduce technology as
teaching tools for our teachers ? ) or left as a statement . Then , we added branches
to identify the main categories or areas of interest ( types of technology ,
characteristics of target teachers , curriculum guide , tools needed ) . These
categories are written on the branch lines in a brief manner to avoid clutter . Next ,
we add “ child branches ” to each category branch as the ideas come . There is no
limit to the amount of ideas which can be expressed . However , it is important that
the idea has some form of a connection with the main idea and it can be
understood at a glance by members of the brainstorming team . Finally , we add
images and colours which can make the mind map easily understood at a glance
and more interesting to look at . The mind mapping tool proves to be very effective
in displaying the ideas of the entire team and showing how they are connected .

Challenge Faced
I am a first year Undergraduate Student , pursing my education in the United Kingdom . Unfortunately , due to this Pandemic , I have been forced to return to Mumbai , India . To stay on my toes and practically apply my Marketing Skills which I have developed during High School and University , i decided to take up an internship at a Digital Marketing Firm , based out of Australia . I finished this Module about a week ago , and this is also when I started work as an intern . The company launched an Online Virtual Recruitment Service with the aim of increasing employee retention rates across major companies in blue as well as white collar roles . The Platform is a complex CRM system which helps companies standardise and monitor the recruitment of these employees by bringing the entire pool of applicants in one place . I was asked to evaluate the entire product , and provide a competition analysis as well . Instead , i was more concerned about the entire Recruitment system , which in my opinion , was and is , broken . I thought to myself , I have tried to apply for blue collar jobs multiple times , but the hiring process is just not efficient from an applicants point of view .
Selection and Application
It was clear to me that the USP for this product had to be completely out of the box . This also meant looking at a larger question , but being specific in what was to be focused on . I used the concept of Storytelling to present my thoughts to the boss . I told the entire team that the way to increase employee retention is not just by providing a world - class CRM to the employer , but rather , to make sure the applicant finds it easy and convenient to apply . I told them my own story . About a month into college , I had overshot my monthly budget with almost 6 days left . I was in trouble and required a job desperately . I applied on multiple job boards , websites and platforms . But the problem with the recruitment system , is the lack of care employers have towards the time and efforts of the applicants . I did not receive a response from three - fourths of the companies I applied to , even though I was promised a ‘ call - back ’ within a few days . Employers ghost employees all the time , reducing the morale of applicants . The team , to whom I was presenting , had a few junior members who agreed with me as they had felt the wrath of this broken system as well . The Upper management soon realised that the problem they were dealing with , was not one that was to be solved with state of the art tech platforms alone , but rather , a revolutionary change in the employment system .
Insights and Approach
I was glad that this storytelling concept helped the upper management understand a real problem that if solved , could serve as a real USP for the product . B2B marketing is a different ball game as compared to B2C marketing , many times we tend to look at the two as the same and try to sell to other businesses as if they were consumers . But sometimes , we need to look at a problem that is prevalent in the design of things . In this case , it was the design of a particular process that had been the same for years and years and before a solution , it required the ‘ What is ? ’ question to be addressed and understood by the team . Going by the design thinking route , following the ‘ What if ? ’ stage , we were able to implement a few features like monitoring the time that the employer takes to send the mandatory tests and forms to applicants as well as automated emails which did not leave the candidate waiting forever . i would also like to use the tool of visualisation in the future as it would compliment the storytelling tool . Visualising will allow the communication process to be further enhanced and will allow the teams as well the customers to understand what the concept is trying to convey . I was able to apply what I learnt in the real business world and for me , as a 19 year old , it was a game changing moment in the way I perceived human problems , and how Storytelling became such an important tool in terms of not only B2B and B2C sales , but also in terms of communicating and giving depth and structure , along with some emotion to an idea .

Challenge I ’m working as a summer intern for a tech startup building an intelligent chatbot for police agencies . The chatbot helps residents get answers to questions that they frequently ask their local agency . The chatbot is offered as an online service and customized for each agency . The challenge we face is how do we optimize onboarding a new agency to the service . There are questions of who should be doing what and when and other questions of how to streamline certain tasks to reduce the time , money , and effort spent .
Selection I chose to use both visualization and storytelling tools to address this challenge of optimizing our onboarding . According to Angela Myer , an experienced designer , visualization is anything that takes us “ beyond just using words or language alone ” . It is the process of bringing a shared understanding of the message you are trying to convey through the use of pictures and drawings . For visualization , I decided to create a journey map showing all of the internal and external roles involved in onboarding a new agency from start to finish . I ’ve seen journey maps used successfully to help with the design of services , providing insights into both the customer experience and the process used by the internal team delivering the service . While journey maps are a form of visual storytelling , my team used the verbal stories from our customer success and sales team members to flesh out the phases of the journey . In the end , we wanted to be able to tell the whole story from the internal team perspective , but also the external customer agency perspective . By looking at the entire journey visually , we hoped to see how each role contributes to the overall process , where time is spent , and how the process could be optimized .
Application
To create the journey map , I formed a team with representatives from Customer Success , Sales , Management , Data Analytics , and UI engineering . We started by putting the names of all the internal and external roles onto sticky notes . It turned out we had more roles involved than we thought - five external roles and six internal roles . Each of the roles had its own tasks , so we put each task on a sticky note as well . Using a large wall we put up the roles with each having a row for its tasks . We then divided the
tasks into five phases , Learn , Try , Buy , Review , and Use . This seemed to be a very effective overview of the entire journey . The team actually added roles and tasks to fill in the journey as we talked through the stories of this agency versus that agency .
Insight
It was useful to be able to move roles and tasks around to organize them . As we came up with more ideas it was helpful to be able to move pre - existing ones to fit and organize as needed . While it was all done with pen and paper on the wall , the team thought the visualization was valuable so I turned it into a digital format that can be updated as well . One major insight we had was when a certain task should be performed . The task in question was inputting agency - specific knowledge into our service and the question was raised whether this should be done before contacting the agency , while they try the bot , or after they have already purchased the service . We are currently adding in content before contacting the agency , but as we think about scaling up with more agencies , we are concerned that this will increase the cost of sales to each agency . We might put effort in for agencies that are not interested in the service . On the other hand , it might be the most effective sales tool to have agency - specific content in the sales demo . The action items resulting from the journey mapping exercise included additional research into how effective the agency - specific content is in sales and how costly it is to collect and insert into the service . Depending on the answers to these research questions , we may put the content gathering earlier or later in the process ( as shown with the red boxes and question marks in the journey map shown below ) .
Approach
While the journey mapping was successful at giving us insights , there are some things that I would do differently next time . While our first pass at the journey map shows the phases of the journey , it does not show how much time is spent in each phase . In the next iteration , I would add in the time spent in each phase or find a way to show that in a new visualization along a timeline . I would want to see both the calendar time and the hours of effort required per task - that would help us visualize both the time and cost of the onboarding process .

Yes , it ’s true that we were frequently read to as children . We loved story time at school and often were unable to go to bed unless a story was read to us . So , what ’s so meaningful and special about this activity that we continue to desire a story ? Quite simply , stories allow us to connect and engage . They form a bridge between us and the world around us . They do this by putting us – human beings – at the center of an experience . We relate to others and these stories allow us to follow along making their experiences relevant to our own . Stories are fundamental to getting us to engage with brands , products , services . I work with numerous companies on product development and design . I ’ve worked with many wineries . All of them create the same product – more or less . There may be subtle nuances between the wines , but in our design and branding work we strive to uncover each one ’s uniqueness . Each product ’s reason for being . Each product ’s story . Storytelling in critical to the design process . It helps inform our creative choices . It gives us a logical structure to all of our design decisions . Ultimately it is critical to the success of the wine itself . Let me give an example of my challenge . Many years ago , we were approached to help with the branding , positioning and overall design of a new wine . We already knew that this product would be successful due to the founder and his winemaker partner . One was a well - known NFL quarterback . The other , a well - regarded winemaker already producing award - winning wines . Although , compelling at a certain level none of that really matters to the consumer . Interesting , but not really relevant . Our challenge was to uncover a story about these the founders that would create an emotional connection between the people and the product . It needed a higher purpose beyond just great wine . In the Module Two video , it mentions that storytelling is the difference between solving a problem and creating a cause . Solving the problem of marketing a new wine would merely involve a tactical approach maybe based upon activating some market dynamic . We could have selected this approach . It may have “ solved the problem ” of marketing the wine . It may have led to some short - term success , but it would have been an approach more suited to fast growth and then a quick sell strategy . Approaching the challenge using storytelling as Andre Martin stated in the video creates a cause . This approach leads to something more compelling and sustainable . This approach is especially critical for a consumer product . We know that consumers are constantly scanning the shelves , connecting and selecting stories that are relevant and engaging to them . They were n’t selecting the founders . They were selecting the story as conveyed to them on the lable . The story we uncovered was based upon the two founders returning back to their hometown to reignite and reexperience all that was great about the place , the people , and the memories . We told the story of Doubleback . Although this was based upon the two founders , it also was a theme that resonated and was relevant to many . Knowing the audience is also a critical part of storytelling . Not only was it relevant . It was also a story that they could envision or be a part of as well . Once we uncovered this story , we were then able to expand upon it . We tied it to visual design cues . We created variations or sub - chapters to help convey further aspects of the product and the marketing . In fact , I think that a good indicator of a great story is its ability to be told over and over again while still retaining the emotion power and connection . This is exactly what the Doubleback story did and continues to do . It is not just a wine . It is a story .
We ’ve also studied other strategic tools , such is the learning launch . Although we did n’t launch our “ ideas ” out into the marketplace to test if a specific positioning , product configuration , or price point was desired , feasible , and viable . We did take our key assumptions or story variations and refined and crafted them in order to test them to understand how they connected and how we needed to adjust and refine them further . And , once we found our story , we then were able to test numerous design , messaging and associated marketing materials to ensure that they still resonated and conveyed the Doubleback story .

We already knew that this product would be successful due to the founder and his winemaker partner . One was a well - known NFL quarterback . The other , a well - regarded winemaker already producing award - winning wines . Although , compelling at a certain level none of that really matters to the consumer . Interesting , but not really relevant . Our challenge was to uncover a story about these the founders that would create an emotional connection between the people and the product . It needed a higher purpose beyond just great wine . In the Module Two video , it mentions that storytelling is the difference between solving a problem and creating a cause . Solving the problem of marketing a new wine would merely involve a tactical approach maybe based upon activating some market dynamic . We could have selected this approach . It may have “ solved the problem ” of marketing the wine . It may have led to some short - term success , but it would have been an approach more suited to fast growth and then a quick sell strategy . Approaching the challenge using storytelling as Andre Martin stated in the video creates a cause . This approach leads to something more compelling and sustainable . This approach is especially critical for a consumer product . We know that consumers are constantly scanning the shelves , connecting and selecting stories that are relevant and engaging to them . They were n’t selecting the founders . They were selecting the story as conveyed to them on the lable . The story we uncovered was based upon the two founders returning back to their hometown to reignite and reexperience all that was great about the place , the people , and the memories . We told the story of Doubleback . Although this was based upon the two founders , it also was a theme that resonated and was relevant to many . Knowing the audience is also a critical part of storytelling . Not only was it relevant . It was also a story that they could envision or be a part of as well . Once we uncovered this story , we were then able to expand upon it . We tied it to visual design cues . We created variations or sub - chapters to help convey further aspects of the product and the marketing . In fact , I think that a good indicator of a great story is its ability to be told over and over again while still retaining the emotion power and connection . This is exactly what the Doubleback story did and continues to do . It is not just a wine . It is a story .
We ’ve also studied other strategic tools , such is the learning launch . Although we did n’t launch our “ ideas ” out into the marketplace to test if a specific positioning , product configuration , or price point was desired , feasible , and viable . We did take our key assumptions or story variations and refined and crafted them in order to test them to understand how they connected and how we needed to adjust and refine them further . And , once we found our story , we then were able to test numerous design , messaging and associated marketing materials to ensure that they still resonated and conveyed the Doubleback story .

Challenge
As a product manager for a company which makes chips for cordless phones , my challenge was to improve the user experience in terms of voice quality and reception at the end of the usable range of the phone . The target was to provide a better quality than our competition while reducing product returns due to low perceived quality . The main challenge was to improve the quality , while controlling the very sensitive cost structure of the product . All of this had to be done within the next product launch cycle in 90 days .
Selection
The learning launch tool was used to select between 3 different ideas which have been suggested by the engineers to improve the quality . This tool was selected since consumer voice quality experience is extremely subjective and can not be predicted by engineering simulations and measurements . The early launch tool was the best way to get early unbiased feedback without spending too much resources and be able to “ fail early ” on nonproductive approaches which would be “ tabled ” .
Application
Early launch was done to a group of 20 students , who would serve as consumers . The consumers were given 3 different prototype products utilizing different engineering solutions ( antenna design , noise muting and advanced signal processing ) for assessment . The students were then asked what solution sounded best to them . This provided early subjective feedback without confirmation bias .
Based on the student feedback , we concluded that a combination of two of the ideas ( noise muting and improved antenna ) seemed to provide a better solution . As a result , repivoting was done , and a prototype utilizing the combined solution was put to the test of the student group to confirm that the combined solution was superior to the individual solutions .
Following affirmation of the proposed solution , the solution was implemented in the next product yielding greatly enhanced user experience , increased sales and reduced field returns .
Insight
Utilizing the learning launch tool enabled an accelerated learning cycle . This enabled reaching the market with a suitable solution which was different from the singular solutions originally proposed by the engineers . The small - scale launch facilitated very quick feedback and enabled repivoting of the original concept and producing a product with better consumer experience while keeping budget and schedule to a minimum .
Approach
It seems that the learning launch tool is the right solution for problems in which market response is difficult to predict due to the subjective experience of each consumer . Alternative approaches could have been launching the product in mass scale , without going thru the early limited launch approach . This could have resulted in launching a suboptimal product which would provide less consumer satisfaction .

Challenge and selection Mind mapping is a powerful tool we can use as leaders to balance our
logical thinking processes with expansive , innovative thinking about how to approach our work . We can also better understand and achieve our objectives with our teams . I will describe the benefits of mind mapping I have experienced , the key aspects of mind mapping that make it impactful for leaders and teams , a how - to guide for getting started , and explained examples . In classrooms mind mapping will helps a lot to understand the particular concepts more effectively , which can be remembered later . Another important aspect of mind mapping is that it challenges us to think expansively or non - linearly . Many times , in structured working environments where we have processes , timelines , and to - do lists , we get caught up in continuing to do things the same way over and over or approaching a new project or team structure in the same way as in the past . This approach may seem efficient or acceptable but it can actually inhibit success and limit we can use past processes and learning but mind mapping challenges us to continue to free associate and add newness with each new map . Mind mapping unlocks creativity , given its radiant nature , and is a perfect tool for brainstorming .
Application Memorizing The first things that comes to mind when we mention memorizing a new information
is studied it could be used in mind mapping for studying the concepts students that helps to memorize in a better way the concept will be remembered forever using the pictures are creative ideas to inculcate in the mind many people struggle in remembering the concept visualization helps the the person to keep a mind mapping in the mind and use it
Organising the idea
Mind Maps will help you make a realistic plan for your essay , and create a
logical structure for the introduction , main sections and conclusions . Mind Mapping focuses your mind on the message you want to get across and the key information you want to include , making you less likely to go off topic or start rambling – a great tool for making sure you hit the marking criteria . Once a planning is done we can organise the planning in a better way the ideas will be generated properly and the students can be used it for a betterment in their activities
Creative inspiration
Have you ever tried to write a story , paint a picture or plan an essay but
had no ideas to start with ? Mind Mapping sparks billions of creative ideas , for students to turn into the next great novel or artwork ! Mind Maps work in the same way as your brain , meaning that when you have a thought – this could be an
image , a word or a feeling – this instantly sparks off hundreds of connecting ideas .
Problem solving
If you have a tough equation or obstacle you need to overcome , Mind
Mapping can help you to see things clearly . Students should know that the ability to problem solve is looked for by universities and future employers – Mind Mapping will get you ahead of the pack !
When you encounter a problem , your instinct is to panic , meaning your
heart starts beating faster and you feel stressed . Instead of ‘ forcing ’ your mind to find a solution , Mind Mapping helps to open up many possibilities and options to solve the problem .
Making presentation
Making presentations at school , college or university can be daunting for
students , but they are a great way of showing that you know the subject well and are confident to talk about it . With Mind Maps , presenting is a breeze for students . Reading from sheets of notes is boring for students – with Mind Mapping you only have keywords and images to stimulate your memory , so you automatically present in a more conversational way as you keep eye contact with your activities
Insight and approach I would give my insight that mind map is indeed a very effective tool there will be a
boring subjects for every course which the students would be interested in when the class does mind maping related to subjects it makes the class more interesting if we compare it with other students get interested towards the topic it helps to known the concepts more and remembering the particular concepts the approach that I recommend mind maping and exploring the concepts each and every subject is put across it will help us to get an in depth understanding of the subject and it will be more interesting I suggest that evryone should include mind maping in class room study

Tool
for
an
Internet
Product
Challenge
&
Selection
I
am
a
co-‐founder
of
an
internet
startup
that
is
in
the
domain
of
classified
ads .
It
serves
the
purpose
of
connecting
buyers
and
sellers
of
apple
products .
It
aims ,
on
one
hand ,
to
help
people
finding
the
best
deals
on
apple
products
and ,
on
the
other
hand ,
to
help
individual
or
professional
sellers
to
meet
the
largest
pool
of
buyers .
Since
this
is
very
niche
area
for
classified
ads ,
it
becomes
extremely
important
to
generate
new
ideas
to
keep
the
user
base
increasing .
By
far ,
it
is
at
the
stage
where
it
allows
sellers
to
upload
their
product
details ,
photograph ,
contact
details .
It
also
allows
buyers
to
go
through
all
the
products
and
apply
their
search
filters .
Both
services
( product
uploading
/
product
search )
are
free .
My
main
challenge
here
is
to
better
understand
both
customers ’
problems
and
ways
through
which
I
could
solve
these
problems
with
the
objective
of
bringing
more
users
and
sellers
to
my
portal
and ,
finally ,
making
it
grow .
The
areas
I
want
to
improve
are
UI / UX ,
Customer
Service ,
Ease
of
Access ,
Credibility
to
my
portal .
Having
my
startup
described ,
I
decide
to
choose
“ Visualization ”
tool .
Customers
insights
being
extremely
important ,
I
may
be
able
to
solve
their
problem
in
a
way
that
adds
value
to
my
customers .
Since
I
am
in
with
both
sided
market
( buyers
and
sellers ) ,
it
was
extremely
difficult
to
apply
all
solutions
at
one
go .
I
had
to
customize
in
a
specific
way .
Who
would
tell
me
the
exact
tailor
made
requirement
for
customers ?
Customers
themselves .
They
will
come
in
unique
ways
to
give
in
their
insights .
I
believed
that
using
visualization
tool
could
help
me
get
things
more
concrete .
Virtually
all
the
people
who
own
apple
device
or
want
to
own
apple
device
are
my
customers .
That
is
why ,
I
wanted
to
closely
see
and
imagine
what
kind
of
users
and
sellers
I
was
dealing
with .
That
can
lead
me
to
what
kind
of
needs
they
have
in
terms
of
UI
and
customer
service .
In
other
words ,
I
had
to
personify
buyers
and
sellers
that
used
or
would
use
my
website .
Application
To
start
defining
who
my
customers
were ,
I
asked
them
various
questions
about
their
personalities
and
objectives .
I
asked
them
to
assign
their
personality
to
the
personality
of
any
animal
of
their
choice .
I
asked
them
associate
themselves
with
celebrity
of
their
choice .
Besides
that ,
I
learned
them
while
using
my
portal
too .
I
asked
them
about
what
all
things
that
they
think
helping
them
and
what
all
features
actually
can
be
associated
with
their
characteristics .
To
Find
out
what
is
missing ,
I
asked
them
the
different
questions .
I
asked
them
to
map
their
characteristic
with
their
favourite
celebrity .
For
users ,
I
insisted
in
questions
about
what
they
aimed
when
searching
for
apple
device
and
how
did
they
decide
which
one
to
choose .
For
sellers ,
I
explored
questions
about
their
marketing
efforts
and
how
they
decided
about
their
marketing
initiatives .
After
considering
23
buyers
and
8
sellers
I
was
able
to
draw
their
personas .
Then ,
I
could
separate
them
accordingly .
I
separated
“ buyers ”
group
in
two
main
‘ Personas ’ :
1 )
big
sellers
( more
hierarchical
and ,
generally
outsource
part
of
their
marketing
initiatives
to
a
promotion
agency ) ;
2 )
medium
and
small
sellers
( less
hierarchical ,
usually
do
all
of
their
marketing
activities
by
themselves ,
trusting
a
lot
on
free
social
media
promotion )
and
individual
sellers
( No
hierarchical
and
promotion
based
on
personal
contacts
and
social
media
promotion ) .
Regarding
“ Buyers ”
group ,
I
divided
it
also
in
two
different
groups :
1 )
users
that
focus
on
iOS
devices
2 )
users
that
want
to
own
mac
computers
3 )
users
that
focus
on
wearable
devices .
Insight
&
Approach
Visualization
tool
allowed
me
to
better
understand
my
customers
and
the
creation
of
‘ Personas ’
made
me
think
in
a
much
more
clearer
way
about
them ,
their
needs
and
their
main
challenges .
Defining
who
they
were ,
let
the
task
of
defining
what
were
their
unspoken
needs
much
easier
and
certain .
Taking
those
personas
into
account ,
will
make
my
marketing
efforts
much
more
focused
and
my
learning
about
my
customers
much
more
effective .
Now
I
know
that
I
have
to
approach
differently
to
each
one
of
my
personas .
For
sellers ,
maybe
I
could
start
with
medium / small
ones ,
once
my
website
is
new
and
my
marketing
budget
is
not
that
big
to
compete
directly
with
big
media
companies
( accessed
by
big
institutions
promotion
agencies ) .
For
buyers ,
I
have
to
consider
the
differences
in
the
objectives
of
each
group ,
once
the
message
of
simply
“ acquire
knowledge ”
does n’t
fit
to
users
that
aim
certificates .
Despite
learning
a
lot
about
visualization
tool
and ,
consequently ,
about
my
customers ,
I
believe
I
could
have
learned
more
if
I
had

### Input: Visualization
Tool
for
an
Internet
Product
Challenge
&
Selection
I
am
a
co-‐founder
of
an
internet
startup
that
is
in
the
domain
of
classified
ads .
It
serves
the
purpose
of
connecting
buyers
and
sellers
of
apple
products .
It
aims ,
on
one
hand ,
to
help
people
finding
the
best
deals
on
apple
products
and ,
on
the
other
hand ,
to
help
individual
or
professional
sellers
to
meet
the
largest
pool
of
buyers .
Since
this
is
very
niche
area
for
classified
ads ,
it
becomes
extremely
important
to
generate
new
ideas
to
keep
the
user
base
increasing .
By
far ,
it
is
at
the
stage
where
it
allows
sellers
to
upload
their
product
details ,
photograph ,
contact
details .
It
also
allows
buyers
to
go
through
all
the
products
and
apply
their
search
filters .
Both
services
( product
uploading
/
product
search )
are
free .
My
main
challenge
here
is
to
better
understand
both
customers ’
problems
and
ways
through
which
I
could
solve
these
problems
with
the
objective
of
bringing
more
users
and
sellers
to
my
portal
and ,
finally ,
making
it
grow .
The
areas
I
want
to
improve
are
UI / UX ,
Customer
Service ,
Ease
of
Access ,
Credibility
to
my
portal .
Having
my
startup
described ,
I
decide
to
choose
“ Visualization ”
tool .
Customers
insights
being
extremely
important ,
I
may
be
able
to
solve
their
problem
in
a
way
that
adds
value
to
my
customers .
Since
I
am
in
with
both
sided
market
( buyers
and
sellers ) ,
it
was
extremely
difficult
to
apply
all
solutions
at
one
go .
I
had
to
customize
in
a
specific
way .
Who
would
tell
me
the
exact
tailor
made
requirement
for
customers ?
Customers
themselves .
They
will
come
in
unique
ways
to
give
in
their
insights .
I
believed
that
using
visualization
tool
could
help
me
get
things
more
concrete .
Virtually
all
the
people
who
own
apple
device
or
want
to
own
apple
device
are
my
customers .
That
is
why ,
I
wanted
to
closely
see
and
imagine
what
kind
of
users
and
sellers
I
was
dealing
with .
That
can
lead
me
to
what
kind
of
needs
they
have
in
terms
of
UI
and
customer
service .
In
other
words ,
I
had
to
personify
buyers
and
sellers
that
used
or
would
use
my
website .
Application
To
start
defining
who
my
customers
were ,
I
asked
them
various
questions
about
their
personalities
and
objectives .
I
asked
them
to
assign
their
personality
to
the
personality
of
any
animal
of
their
choice .
I
asked
them
associate
themselves
with
celebrity
of
their
choice .
Besides
that ,
I
learned
them
while
using
my
portal
too .
I
asked
them
about
what
all
things
that
they
think
helping
them
and
what
all
features
actually
can
be
associated
with
their
characteristics .
To
Find
out
what
is
missing ,
I
asked
them
the
different
questions .
I
asked
them
to
map
their
characteristic
with
their
favourite
celebrity .
For
users ,
I
insisted
in
questions
about
what
they
aimed
when
searching
for
apple
device
and
how
did
they
decide
which
one
to
choose .
For
sellers ,
I
explored
questions
about
their
marketing
efforts
and
how
they
decided
about
their
marketing
initiatives .
After
considering
23
buyers
and
8
sellers
I
was
able
to
draw
their
personas .
Then ,
I
could
separate
them
accordingly .
I
separated
“ buyers ”
group
in
two
main
‘ Personas ’ :
1 )
big
sellers
( more
hierarchical
and ,
generally
outsource
part
of
their
marketing
initiatives
to
a
promotion
agency ) ;
2 )
medium
and
small
sellers
( less
hierarchical ,
usually
do
all
of
their
marketing
activities
by
themselves ,
trusting
a
lot
on
free
social
media
promotion )
and
individual
sellers
( No
hierarchical
and
promotion
based
on
personal
contacts
and
social
media
promotion ) .
Regarding
“ Buyers ”
group ,
I
divided
it
also
in
two
different
groups :
1 )
users
that
focus
on
iOS
devices
2 )
users
that
want
to
own
mac
computers
3 )
users
that
focus
on
wearable
devices .
Insight
&
Approach
Visualization
tool
allowed
me
to
better
understand
my
customers
and
the
creation
of
‘ Personas ’
made
me
think
in
a
much
more
clearer
way
about
them ,
their
needs
and
their
main
challenges .
Defining
who
they
were ,
let
the
task
of
defining
what
were
their
unspoken
needs
much
easier
and
certain .
Taking
those
personas
into
account ,
will
make
my
marketing
efforts
much
more
focused
and
my
learning
about
my
customers
much
more
effective .
Now
I
know
that
I
have
to
approach
differently
to
each
one
of
my
personas .
For
sellers ,
maybe
I
could
start
with
medium / small
ones ,
once
my
website
is
new
and
my
marketing
budget
is
not
that
big
to
compete
directly
with
big
media
companies
( accessed
by
big
institutions
promotion
agencies ) .
For
buyers ,
I
have
to
consider
the
differences
in
the
objectives
of
each
group ,
once
the
message
of
simply
“ acquire
knowledge ”
does n’t
fit
to
users
that
aim
certificates .
Despite
learning
a
lot
about
visualization
tool
and ,
consequently ,
about
my
customers ,
I
believe
I
could
have
learned
more
if
I
had
interviewed
more
people
and
used
more
pictures
and
drawings
to
better
visualize
my
personas .
That ’s
exactly
the
next
step
I
will
take ,
in
order
to
enhance
my
customers ’
and
business
insights .

Challenge and Selection
My bank built a mobile application that helps users manage their fnances and use other add - on services . The application was launched a year ago , however the result did not meet our expectation because the users have just been using it to transfer money , and they do n’t ( without using any other services ) use the other functions i.e. ( that is ) pairing it with another add - on service . Therefore , our assignment is to fnd out root causes and customers ' needs to provide solutions / services suitable for them , instead of just categorizing them into different customer segments based on demographics . We believe that Mind Mapping would be the best option . It would assist with catching and addressing ' brains of clients ' , and it also would create profound experiences , and precisely recognize the designs clients are searching for to deal with their needs and their hindrances .
Moreover , these would likewise empower us to build up the plan models . Based on that , we could imagine our plan and arrangement which give a novel " client experience " .
Application
When we choose to utilize the Mind Mapping instrument , we begin to connect with clients of various customer segments . We additionally use the accessible measurements that the customer gave / give us with respect to the application . We coordinate a huge occasion to work cooperatively with clients and recognize what is the issue . Furthermore , we would reach out to them and welcome them to join our event , share their experiences and help us come up with new ideas that / which would enable them to manage fnances easily and lead a fnancially comfortable life . We guarantee that the number of members on each occasion is around 50 . We would begin directing ethnographic meetings and utilizing projective methods to get a visual portrayal of the thoughts of what clients need to do throughout everyday life and how they need to utilize their cash to accomplish their objectives . Then , we would form groups and request the members to share their thoughts and afterward dole out a subject of each such gathering . As we examine each of the topics and the members ’ thoughts , we will have the option to recognize unmistakable examples of client outlooks and conduct .
Insight and Approach
The greatest beneft of our assignment is that it has made fve distinct personas dependent of the variety in demeanor , information , and ability level of the clients . Each persona will have different experiences and demands while using this app . The frst group is called travel - holic ( travel enthusiasts ) who need a credit solution to help them make international payments , postpaid payments to satisfy their passion for travel . The second group is shoppaholics , people who never miss any big sale event from e - commerce sites and want to receive cashback . Another group is people who are very diligent about managing their fnances , some do track fnances but only when they get their salary or have to make hefty payments ... We understand that we must have an obvious plan standard for each of / everyone in those personas to make a separate client experience for all clients . For example , we could provide travel payment solutions such as hotel booking , ticket booking , etc . with preferential prices for travel addicts .
We certainly feel that the Mind Mapping device is exceptionally amazing , and it presents a visual portrait of clients ' minds covering all hidden physical , mental , passion or stylish viewpoints . It brings out more than what clients say and need . I would prefer to make use of the tool extensively during any design thinking process .

Challenge & Selection
Generally , when a person reads continuously , there are often problems related to
learning through reading . I am a student , and even though I am daily maintaining a regular
reading . I have a hard time studying long texts , especially if I have to memorize them .
Therefore , through the mind mapping tool I can facilitate the study . Because it helps me
design critical thinking through graphics and defined ideas .
A mind map is a tool that is represented by keywords , ideas , concepts , symbols , signs ,
abbreviations , images , drawings or colors that relate the different elements based on a
main idea . In other words , they are graphic ramifications that help us to power our brains
in various aspects of our lives . This is a benefit for ap of topics with the aim of clarifying ,
organizing and capturing ideas that you have in your mind .
Application & Insight
Many times , I have the problem that the concepts and topics of the study are very
confusing or long . Sometimes it takes me a long time to retain concepts that are a lot of
theory . In addition , I do not have good retention of information , so when trying to
remember the concepts , I get confused or mix with other topics that have no relation .
However , when I started using this tool to study , it changed dramatically . Now I can select
and classify my ideas in a more orderly and concise way . Besides that , I have my specific
study material to read it again in the future .
During the development of this tool , you have to keep in mind four essential
foundations , which are : Identify the main idea or motive ; Organize the topics that will be
located in the ramifications before being captured on paper ; Support the ramifications with
images or key words on ideas and points of little importance , and finally the branches
must have a structure similar to neurons .
A mind map helped me understand that it serves to manage a large flow of information
with which we deal daily , and allows us to see globally the important ideas . When putting
this flow on paper , we enhance the mental capacity that we all have for logical
concentration . This tool has several applications such as taking notes to study , for
presentations , to raise ideas for a new project and also raise problems and possible
solutions for each of them .
Approach
The general organization of the presentation could be improved by being clear that the
mind does not have to memorize several unnecessary words . But a single word that helps
interpret the idea of that branch . and it can be : verbs , adjectives or some short phrase . This
word has to trigger several ideas on the main or secondary topic , determined by the branch
that is going to be seen . But the most important thing has to be concrete ideas . So , choosing
this study tool is very effective . In addition to helping us increase our personal
performance because it is simple and practical .
Additional
While reviewing this submission , I was inspired by my class on " Materials
Engineering " . This subject is based on knowing each concept , procedure and treatments
with respect to the great variety of materials that exist on the planet . And to think that
everything I have just told you must be able to achieve it in your mind , it is the success
that you must set yourself for success .

Mind Mapping for Product Planning
Challenge & Selection
As part of my role , I am a business analyst who works very closely with the Product Owners in my organisation and our customers are large corporates or big banks from across the world . A large part of product lines which our customers consume will have 80 % core product features which are globally common and 20 % is either customisation per geography or any other specific regional compliance obligations . Other than rolling out new features into our core product globally , we keep on updating the customisation layer also . Whenever we get into discussions with our customers , there are variety of issues which are brought on to the table by them which could be either in the core product or the customised layer and we will have to collate all of those and analyse the commonality between them and pick the items which qualify for enhancements , bug fixing and new features on the core product and how it will impact the global customer base , which in fact is the trickiest part . Now , it is not always the same problem which the customers bring forward and the result of fixing for one could result in creating a new problem for another customer who was unaffected earlier . Therefore , in order to resolve this efficiently and effectively I have been making use of mind mapping concept with the help of some real - life tools e.g. XMind . I find mind mapping as very powerful as it looks for patterns and insights which comes really handy when there is variety of data and stakeholders in the mix . It becomes very handy from my job perspective as if I relay it back to the course would be the ‘ What If ’ phase . It helps me a lot in getting the stakeholders engaged and also help them understanding my process with respect to other customers who are contesting to get a change agreed and get rolled into the product roadmap .
Application
I normally start the process by collating all the known data from the Product Owners and business customers into one repository with an end goal clear to align the organisational goals and the customer goals and agree a product goal by understanding the current reality . I usually club the participants into teams based on the geographical synergies and take them to the design challenge in order to collectively identify the design criteria . In some cases , we have clubbed the customers into teams based on who has requested a similar feature or where the impact is on a similar component . This helped in streamlining the discussions when I go to the stage of drawing the mind maps and to connect the concepts to one another or to construct the synergies between the features which becomes very critical towards the end when we move towards aligning the organisational goals along with customer goals and make commitment to what can be delivered during the product increment . The representation of my mind comes out into play along with the customers to shape the representation to something which is extremely relatable to everyone and easy to agree for conclusion .
I usually begin with a set template , selecting the area which has enough white board space around . I hand the sticky notes to the stakeholders and do not split them into groups in the beginning of the session . I will bring the complete backlog up for everyone ’s review which will contain all the items raised by either the stakeholders or the product owners or the business units within the company and any of the known bug fixes which we are aware off across the product line and mark each of the line items to if it belongs to the product core or the product customisation . As we go along , I give first few minutes to briefly touch base each item and the later 30 mins for each customer to do a self - assessment of prioritisation of the line items from top to bottom before the stakeholders are clubbed based on the synergies of their asks which helps in clustering and bundling the backlog to realign the priority of items but this time it will be a collective exercise as compared to self - assessment of the individuals . The mind map of the backlog is drawn ( using XMinds in my case most of the times digitally and presented along with white board ) with the agreed features connected as clusters and agreed priorities marked
Craig Gonzalez Design Thinking for Innovation
along with the key open questions called out to them as part of the exercise . It helps in identifying the design criteria collectively which also is helpful towards the end of the exercise to wrap up backlog which is prioritised for the current product increment and ticks the box for the ‘ What Is ’ state with the design criteria conditions becoming clear for what the possible solution will / can be .
In most of the instances , this exercise does not get concluded in one session / day , it goes beyond that mostly as there is a lot of discussion in getting to understand each other ’s perspectives and strike commonality and to move to the final state where things can be agreed as a group .
Insight
From my experience of conducting a backlog planning in this fashion a few times , and by extensively using Mind Mapping exercises and tools during these meetings , what I have learnt is that it helps in achieving the end goal in a more efficient way and also helps the stakeholders involved reach to the same level of understanding as a group . It crystallised the prioritisation aspect for everyone involved when we split them into the groups of synergies and from chats between them they were able to agree on the common priority levels for the features which were of common impact and it was easier for the stakeholders to discard their self - assessment priority .
Approach
From what I learned from the lessons from this course , the overall approach here from mind maps perspective is to agree the design criteria as design criteria is the actual transition from what is to what if stage . Therefore , from approach point of view I will give more emphasis on the concept of design criteria and try to explain this fundament to the stakeholders . In most cases , stakeholders would come from various aspects of the Business & IT pipelines , hence , to start with , not everyone aligns to the idea of mind mapping and design criteria immediately . I would continue to use the approach of self - assessment of prioritisation at individual level , and then grouping the stakeholders to give a group priority as that has helped me a lot in achieving the goal of completing this stage so the next stage of definition of solution can be started . Based on what I learned from the course , I will try to collaborate visualisation and mind mapping as I felt that there is great potential to conduct an even more effective and efficient stakeholder meeting if there is visualisation involved in terms of some demos of what the feature will result like in form of a strawman . To agree the design criteria with visual thinking can be an efficient tool .

Mind Mapping for Product Planning
Challenge & Selection
As part of my role , I am a business analyst who works very closely with the Product Owners in my organisation and our customers are large corporates or big banks from across the world . A large part of product lines which our customers consume will have 80 % core product features which are globally common and 20 % is either customisation per geography or any other specific regional compliance obligations . Other than rolling out new features into our core product globally , we keep on updating the customisation layer also . Whenever we get into discussions with our customers , there are variety of issues which are brought on to the table by them which could be either in the core product or the customised layer and we will have to collate all of those and analyse the commonality between them and pick the items which qualify for enhancements , bug fixing and new features on the core product and how it will impact the global customer base , which in fact is the trickiest part . Now , it is not always the same problem which the customers bring forward and the result of fixing for one could result in creating a new problem for another customer who was unaffected earlier . Therefore , in order to resolve this efficiently and effectively I have been making use of mind mapping concept with the help of some real - life tools e.g. XMind . I find mind mapping as very powerful as it looks for patterns and insights which comes really handy when there is variety of data and stakeholders in the mix . It becomes very handy from my job perspective as if I relay it back to the course would be the ‘ What If ’ phase . It helps me a lot in getting the stakeholders engaged and also help them understanding my process with respect to other customers who are contesting to get a change agreed and get rolled into the product roadmap .
Application
I normally start the process by collating all the known data from the Product Owners and business customers into one repository with an end goal clear to align the organisational goals and the customer goals and agree a product goal by understanding the current reality . I usually club the participants into teams based on the geographical synergies and take them to the design challenge in order to collectively identify the design criteria . In some cases , we have clubbed the customers into teams based on who has requested a similar feature or where the impact is on a similar component . This helped in streamlining the discussions when I go to the stage of drawing the mind maps and to connect the concepts to one another or to construct the synergies between the features which becomes very critical towards the end when we move towards aligning the organisational goals along with customer goals and make commitment to what can be delivered during the product increment . The representation of my mind comes out into play along with the customers to shape the representation to something which is extremely relatable to everyone and easy to agree for conclusion .
I usually begin with a set template , selecting the area which has enough white board space around . I hand the sticky notes to the stakeholders and do not split them into groups in the beginning of the session . I will bring the complete backlog up for everyone ’s review which will contain all the items raised by either the stakeholders or the product owners or the business units within the company and any of the known bug fixes which we are aware off across the product line and mark each of the line items to if it belongs to the product core or the product customisation . As we go along , I give first few minutes to briefly touch base each item and the later 30 mins for each customer to do a self - assessment of prioritisation of the line items from top to bottom before the stakeholders are clubbed based on the synergies of their asks which helps in clustering and bundling the backlog to realign the priority of items but this time it will be a collective exercise as compared to self - assessment of the individuals . The mind map of the backlog is drawn ( using XMinds in my case most of the times digitally and presented along with white board ) with the agreed features connected as clusters and agreed priorities marked

along with the key open questions called out to them as part of the exercise . It helps in identifying the design criteria collectively which also is helpful towards the end of the exercise to wrap up backlog which is prioritised for the current product increment and ticks the box for the ‘ What Is ’ state with the design criteria conditions becoming clear for what the possible solution will / can be .
In most of the instances , this exercise does not get concluded in one session / day , it goes beyond that mostly as there is a lot of discussion in getting to understand each other ’s perspectives and strike commonality and to move to the final state where things can be agreed as a group .
Insight
From my experience of conducting a backlog planning in this fashion a few times , and by extensively using Mind Mapping exercises and tools during these meetings , what I have learnt is that it helps in achieving the end goal in a more efficient way and also helps the stakeholders involved reach to the same level of understanding as a group .

As part of my marketing role in my current organization , part of my job is to come up with the marketing pitch for new product launches for our customers . In a recent new product launch , one of the tasks I had to perform was to come up with a product tagline , ie the short and memorable phrase that will be used in the marketing campaign to convey the message of the new product to the customer . The challenge here is that the product has a various selling value proposition , and it is important as a team that we align on the one we should focus on , that will resonate the most with the market needs . 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 ) . One of the tools that I had relied on was brainstorming . As I am from an outside industry from my new company , it was difficult for me to view the product advantages from my perspective as I am from the outside . In short , however , an email and a brief were sent out to all my team members ( 6 people ) , and I had asked them about what they thought were the product valuation propositions were and what would our customers resonate with . Application : Describe how you applied the tool you selected to your challenge ( e.g. , what you did and how the tool was applied effectively or ineffectively ) . The brief was sent out with a few short descriptions of what the product technology is , combined with a few of the tests that we had conducted in the lab to demonstrate the product performance versus our competitors . At the same time , I had to share visual aid in the likes of our marketing content and also test results to provoke the thought process of my colleagues . The outcome ultimately , was for the participants in a paragraph or less , to describe what they thought the benefits were and key selling points associated with the products .

Insight : Describe the insight you gained from applying the tool you selected to your challenge ( e.g. , how an insight affected your thinking about the challenge and about design thinking more broadly ) . The biggest insight from this exercise was definitely through the diversity of the individuals that had participated in the topic . As nicely described in the course material , “ organizations with the highest payoffs are not innovating the solution , but in innovating how people work together to implement the new possibilities they see ” . Having alignment and bringing everyone along this journey has allowed my teammates to feel like that they are part of this journey , generating better results and engagement for the future launch of the product . Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why .
The only thing I would change next time as to how to write less in the brief . Whilst it is important to give guidance to the participants on where the direction should be heading , there is a fine balance between what is too much guidance and what is not enough so that the creativity and thought process is starting from a “ blank page ” .

Challenge Greetings . I am part of my company ’s technology architecture department . The challenge is to make the technology solutioning process more comprehensive , easy to understand for the developers and at the same taking less time than what it is taking now . The impacted teams include architects , developers and the business stakeholders . This initiative is limited to only the internal employees . This ask is to complete this exercise within 12 weeks and should cover the remodelling of end to end solutioning process , including the way requirements are consumed and interpreted , artefacts are written and finally the reviews are done to ensure quality . Selection Although there are various aspects of this initiative , I will walk thru the solutioning documentation part of it . The team had multiple sessions with the stakeholders , in this case architects , developers and the product owners and came up with a way to create / document the solution after going thru various pain areas and also potential way to document it . The learning launch is to experiment with the shortlisted documentation process and access the insights thereafter . Application This learning launch is split into two parts . First , the understanding and writing the requirement , second , is about the technology design and documentation . For the first part , we focused on the requirements part . We started with splitting the epics into smaller user stories and started converting them into technology terms , that is how they boil down to various different system flows and interfaces between them . The user experience part of it and the non - functional requirements which will be useful while the technology design . All this was to make sure that the business requirements were properly understood and there were no gaps to be found later . The second part was to take the inputs from the first part and create the technology design around it , keeping the mentioned systems in mind and also the non - functional requirements such as performance , resiliency etc . Additionally , the solutioning were peer reviewed end to end ( both the parts ) , to make sure the solutioning is seamless flowing from one part to another . Insight After applying this process , the team identified the assumptions and this launch tested those assumptions . Creating a overarching way to document made the solutioning easier as the designer knew what kind of things to look for in a requirement and the business knew upfront what they needs to keep in mind which planning for their projects . Another thing we noticed that , actually the two parts can be done by different set of architects as the skill required to do both are a bit different . That , is another area where we can do further experiment . The
team also looked at other insights as well . This exercise was quite useful before the actual launch of the process . Approach This was a very useful thing to do as we went through the first few design thinking tasks . As I mentioned above , the team has reviewed the insights from this first launch and plan to incorporate these insights into future launches , broadly as a tool as well . And we already have one experiment to do which came out as an insight . Riding on this process , we believe we can further reflect on the insights , and refine the solutioning experience more to make it even better . Thank you .

Challenge
I have been working at a global insurance company for seven years and I ’ve been managing my organization ’s sales department . We have different sales distrubiton channels that they ask for various demands to us . Our challenge is to improve the process diagram on CRM system . For example a branch / agency send to a task mail which contains a complex structure and its content is unclear to our CRM system . So , our operation team spends a lot of time for branch / agency ’s task solution and operation team meets the demand too late . This fact decreases our sales ratio day by day .
We will namely me and our supervisor of operation department focus on solution problematic process and workflow diagram .
Selection
We and our team have already used several design thinking tools , but we do n’t have sufficient time , so we must in a rush . That ’s why we have been using the learning launch tool . Learning lunch is an experiment tool that shows us the suitability of and ideas .
Application
First of all we focus on our CRM process structure and we have found some bottle necks in process . The task emails have irrelevant details . On the other hand some task mails do n’t have necessary info . We have just decided to develop a new mail format that includes basic information . Then we ’ve shared our new mail format to our branches / agenciesin the first week that was our first our first learning lunch . The only way that helps us to test the learning lunch is the efficient feedbacks of our branches / agents . We have tested if the working flow works properly or not . Our team has visited a branch and listened their opinions . Next day we have shared another process diagram that has new aproaches . In this case , the results seems good but we must calculate efficiency ratio . Additionally , we sent a survey to our agencies / branches that includes key questiones about saticfaction .
The result of the survey has showed that branches / agencies are glad about our new email format and their sales ratio has increased .
Insight
When we choose the learning launch tool , our team explaines our assumptions . Additionally , we would like to improve our process , both our team and the key agencies / branches internalize the priority of the workflow .
Approach
The learning launch add vision to our team . We have already gone through several design thinking activities / tools . Next launch designs should reflect the flexibility and add new visions . we will develop new metodology in our CRM system .

I used the story telling and process mapping , and here how it started , I ’m a clinical educator for critical care nurses , we received data regarding an increase of urinary tract infections among our patients exceeding the benchmark I have been called for a meeting with stakeholders to discuss this sudden increase and to apply measures to decrease the infection rates .
I discussed with stakeholders that we need to investigate the process the proper management with the frontline staff who perform the urinary catheter insertion and try focus on the major points that led to this increase .
So , the journey started with interviewing the frontline staffs who inserted or assisted in the urinary catheter insertion either physicians or nurses and exploring together where are the variations to the process , what are the contributing factors that led to these infections ? Also , we develop an anonymous questionnaire highlighting the process of insertion and ask the staff to find where the gaps in process or what not been done then we collected the responses and returned questionnaire .
Application
now story telling journey by flowcharts and some drawings and we have a nice view what is the problem and the key points that led to it , the flow charts explains the journey of a patient who admitted to our critical care unit the decision for catheter insertion after that the process of insertion and the maintenance of the inserted catheter , then we explore each step and the identified gaps and highlighted in red as failure in the process .
then some new ideas and tweaks in the process suggested by the team to overcome these shortages and deviation in the process then we developed a task force to work on these points with specific deadlines and clear responsibilities .
Insight & Approach
Storytelling is a great approach to explain the problem and eliminate unnecessary thoughts also draw the audience focus on certain steps rather than vague or unclear ideas .
I learned that jumping to quick solution not always work , deep understanding of the problem and sharing the concerns with others gives more in - depth efficient solutions rather than a quick fix that maybe not addressing the problem it may fix sign and symptoms but not the main problem .

Challenge :
I am in third year of Bachelor ’s degree and for the final grade we had to make a Presentation on any topic assigned to us by our teacher . We were divided into groups and the topic given to us was environmental pollution . Our teacher the instructed us on what aspects we will be marked on like the informativeness of it , time limit , etc . out of which a key element was holding the attention of the class . Also , we were specify given a topic that has been done over and over again so that we also be judged on uniqueness of how we present our topic .
We knew right of the bat that grabbing attention of final year students on a topic they are already aware about will be very challenging and we will have to bring something new to the table .
Selection :
My group sat down to discuss on how to go about the presentation after going around when my turn came , I explained about Storytelling tool and how we can use a narrative to present . We can weave a story around the problem and with help of it we go ahead covering all the points we have to . It was then mutually agreed on that using this we will be able to hold attention of the class and also cover everything asked by out teacher .
Application :
Before we got started , we made sure that everyone was on the same and understood what storytelling and narration is and how are we going to merge this tool in our presentation . We first started with researching and gathering all the material that we need on the topic which took a lot of time . With all the information now available to use we had to come up with a story that could be built around it .
We looking into how narratives / stories are , a story always has a beginning , middle and an end . As we started to bring together ideas and stories , we noticed that we ca n’t actually make a story that has a legit climax but we still have the exposition , and a conflict and rising action . For climax and resolution , we thought it was better to keep it loose ended and follow up with the solutions and reforms that can be done to prevent and stop Environmental Pollution .
On the day of presentation , we started of with the introductions , definitions and laws pertaining to our topic . After that , we started with our story of a little boy and his daily life . The boy lived near a small hill and how he used to always go on hikes . As the boy grew up his small town grew too with offices and different businesses and factories and how he noticed the changes and pollutants along his usual hike trails and investigated them . Similarly , he ponders as how when he was little him and his friends used to drink water straight from the tap without and worry and now almost all of the houses have and use a water purifier . With every point of his discovery we followed it up with actual real - life stories and statistics that held a shock value to the audience because they were just following a little story and was n’t expecting to be hit by a hard fact . It is what also helped us hold the attention of the audience while making an impact as well .
By the end of it we quickly presented on how the things our protagonist face could have been prevented by making an intervention in time and by having laws in place . We also covered on how we as people can make a change by being more responsible and by holding people accountable .
Insight :
Usually when we are making a presentation for the class , we used to just worry about how many slides we had to make and get done with our part . Nor the audience or the person presenting seemed to just do it because they had to , it was just done under an obligation and it shows . When we were given the challenge to make the presentation interesting , we picked on the Storytelling tool .
While we prepared out presentation , we ourselves were moved with the approach and our goal shifted from getting grades to actually making an impact on people present there . And I realised it was because of the tool we chose , we looked up so many real - life stories and hard facts to build our story around that it actual impacted us and made us more passionate about the topic itself which was something I never expected .
Approach :
I still feel that the tool we chose was perfect and we also borrowed from the Visualization tool a lot while presenting statistics and facts . What I feel we could have and will do differently in the future is start with my story without wasting too much time on definitions and details that we could have included in the story telling . Also , I felt our story was still jejune which will require some work as it was just our first time attempting to do anything like it but , it was a success for sure that we know of well with the response we got .

Tool used : Storytelling
Challenge & Selection
I spend a major part of my time on research in any design or photography project to empathize with the stakeholders involved . And to do that I often use storytelling as a tool to bond with the people which most of the times helps them identify their real problem and then they work around it . One such example is about a friend of mine who is not familiar to design thinking ; she had a very restricted and a worry - some approach towards life and herself , like she does n’t like herself mentally or physically . One of the major concerns according to her was of her being overweight .
Application
So I happen to be a lean & thin guy , and hence I started with a story of my own , that how I too had similar thoughts due to my physical appearance and how overtime I evolved and got over that stage of feeling lonely and worrying for every other thing . I told her that how a simple act of acceptance of myself , that whatever I am is enough and with that I can do a lot .
Insight
After listening to my story she started to open up and started with one of many instances of her story that how everyone judges her as a person as mature or immature attitude towards everything and her body . Eventually while talking , both of us learned about her that the major concern in her case was she feared judgement and that , she always unintentionally sought approval of others .
Approach
So we discussed about how can we work on the real issue in this case , and we came up with a very simple approach that she can choose to learn different point of views about her from others but it is herself that matters the most and she should try to accept herself first .
This course in particular has helped me not only in understanding the importance of storytelling but also some important tools like mind mapping and how they play a major role in applying design thinking in even our day to day life .

CHALLENGE
I am an industrial engineering student and together with some colleagues from the university where I study , we wanted to undertake a project that meets a current need . Due to the Covid- 19 pandemic , many countries entered into mandatory quarantine , in the case of Peru , this quarantine was present from March to July of this year .
The Country is still in a state of emergency but not in mandatory quarantine , which means that there are some rules that we still have to abide by , one of them is that public transport must transfer half of its maximum capacity in order to avoid further infections between the passengers . It is no secret that Peru is one of the countries with the highest vehicular traffic in the world , which makes this measure worse the rule dictated by the government . The biggest problem that compliance with this health measure has caused is the excessive time that people can wait for a public transport vehicle to be transferred to their destination . This time being between 45 min and 2 hours , which greatly harms users since most of them have their workplace as their destination .
For these reasons , we had the idea of creating a product which facilitates the activity of moving from one place to another in Peru , since this involves a big problem every day .
We decided to create a bicycle design called " FASTBIKE " , which is suitable for all users , and at the same time friendly to the environment . The term " fit " is said in relation to the cost of the product and the various designs of the bicycle . Since the purpose of the creation of this product is that it is economically available to the largest possible population and that anyone can use it , without necessarily having previously had experience riding a conventional bicycle .
SELECTION
Our product idea has already gone through various Design Thinking tools thanks to various courses that we take at the university and through consultancies from expert professors on the subject , however , the product idea needs to be quickly tested through an experiment in the real market using a prototype of the product . For this reason we will use the Learning Launch tool
APPLICATION
For our first learning launch we had people of different ages test the prototype of the bicycle ; children , adolescents , adults , and seniors who continued to be physically active . This experiment consisted in that people will ride the bicycle up to a distance of 20 km . After the experiment , we made several questions to the people who tested the prototype , then all information was collected and subsequently analyzed .
The second learning launch we carried out was to test the bicycle to people who wait for public transport every day to go to their work centers . We carried out this experiment at 7 in the morning , rush hour in Peru , to see the complications that the product to be marketed could present . Likewise , as in the first experiment , we made several questions to the people who tested the prototype and then we analyzed it .
INSIGHT
By applying the learning launch tool we were able to identify that people with the same age range had the same needs regarding the product .
Children : They wanted the bicycle to incorporate designs of their favorite cartoons and have their names written on them ; as well as they also wanted it to have led lights .
Adolescents : They wanted the bicycle to incorporate a speaker which can be controlled through their cell phone and which has some type of renewable energy to charge their cell phones .
Adults : They wanted the bicycle to have a real - time GPS - assisted traffic social application so that they could move more easily to places that may not know their location very well and for safety reasons . Most of the adults preferred electric bicycles so as not to put too much physical effort when commuting to work .
Seniors in physical activity : They wanted bicycles to incorporate a much more comfortable seat to make the experience of riding a bicycle more pleasant .
All this relevant information helped us to know that the idea of our bike needed a lot of improvement , 70 % of the needs of the people is regarding technology and the other 30 % is regarding the customization of the product .
So we have in mind to create our own social application of FASTBIKE of real - time traffic assisted by GPS . In addition to having various designs in both electric bicycles and traditional bicycles . It will have speakers , a renewable energy carrier or led lights if the customer really wants it . Finally , we will improve the quality of the bicycle seats so that absolutely all our clients have an excellent experience riding our bicycles .
APPROACH
The product is not produced yet , it is possible that when it goes to market we will need to do more learning launches to improve the product every day .
These learning launches should be much more efficient since we already have experience in the first two learning launches , which left us a lot of enriching information for the production of FASTBIKE .

Storytelling Reflection
Challenge
I work at a Transnational huge company where Design Thinking is now part of the business strategy ; the company has managed to adapt Design Thinking to its own business so it can focus in the users that really matter and in the type of business it offers . As this is a huge company every center in each country had to start learning and applying Design Thinking and as change is never easy but always good , in my country I was part of the leadership that was bringing Design Thinking to everybody ’s lives .
I started with education and it was naturally becoming known and used among my peers ; however , there was an important challenge in all the business processes when applying Design Thinking as the framework it is ; and the challenge was : How can we engage with our clients so we can also design better experiences in the solutions we offer to them , including team involvement , workshop management , projects and more .
Selection
I selected then Storytelling because I think telling a story is the best approach to get someone not only to pay attention to something , but to understand and act with purpose and it was just what was needed . This tool allowed every client real or potential and every person interested in applying Design Thinking with their clients to actually had a guide on how to really engage .
Application
I got together with a group of other four Design Thinkers as passionate as me and with their support a Playbook was created . This Playbook is a document that is now available for all of the employees of the company I work for and intends to help any other team in the world that wants to use Design Thinking to achieve a great engagement with their clients . In the playbook it is first specified that a group of people working together is always necessary and that in our case we received also guidance and strategic support from an Executive of the company . We also defined the tasks of this team .
The playbook was also created in the format of Storytelling so there is this main Character that will guide the reader through the playbook ; she is the hypothetic user and she wants to implement Design Thinking but she does not now how and explains a little bit of the background . Then , the book shows how in our company there are different ways to make the first contact with the clients and that having the final objective in mind is very important to know which one to choose .
In this storytelling playbook there is also visualization used ; so our main character shows a simple and visual depiction of how a Design Thinking engagement works to help the readers understand that it is not just a workshop but a creative process . Then , the book shows step by step from the planning with the problem statement or design prompt , going through gathering information and research to creating a proposal , working on several tools in one or more workshops involving the right stakeholders ( being this moment where the creative work is on top ) , and then evaluating the workshop or activities results . At the end it suggests some client playbacks to get the team aligned and the way the implementation will work . All of this explanation is shown as a story that tells the
Stephanie Gonzalez
main character in the book , it is created with images , brief explanations and examples from real business life and even maps so it can be better understood .
Insight
When every team in our company uses this guide and actually applies it , they know the case study in a storytelling format will allow them and other people who read it to analyze the situation including complexities , present results in a brief , accurate and creative way and at the end learning from the challenges faced .
What did I gain ? The learning that Design Thinking tools like storytelling are not only to tell a story and solve a problem ; but are a great learning tool as well . I this case I got to solve a problem ( no one new how to engage with commercial clients using Design Thinking ) and also I got to share a guide for learning a new framework and I think that is one of the most exciting experiences any user could have .
Approach
Probably I would use more communication tools and strategies to make this playbook visible so literally everyone knows about it ’s existence . – Also maybe I would add the information in animated videos and not just images and examples as it is right know . Just because learning experiences are always into transformation .

Storytelling Reflection
Challenge
I work at a Transnational huge company where Design Thinking is now part of the business strategy ; the company has managed to adapt Design Thinking to its own business so it can focus in the users that really matter and in the type of business it offers . As this is a huge company every center in each country had to start learning and applying Design Thinking and as change is never easy but always good , in my country I was part of the leadership that was bringing Design Thinking to everybody ’s lives .
I started with education and it was naturally becoming known and used among my peers ; however , there was an important challenge in all the business processes when applying Design Thinking as the framework it is ; and the challenge was : How can we engage with our clients so we can also design better experiences in the solutions we offer to them , including team involvement , workshop management , projects and more .
Selection
I selected then Storytelling because I think telling a story is the best approach to get someone not only to pay attention to something , but to understand and act with purpose and it was just what was needed . This tool allowed every client real or potential and every person interested in applying Design Thinking with their clients to actually had a guide on how to really engage .

Challenge and Selection
The tool I used in my odontologic startup 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 possible solutions to the problem . We use this approach often with our customers , who are people with diferent backgrounds , but that want the same thing as they reach for our products : a whiter and healthier smile . Considering that our stakeholders are very diverse , we have used the technique of using a straw man visualization of the diferent personalities that our clients often present with a set of questions for discussion to allow the group of stakeholders to absorb knowledge from each other in the process of defining boundaries , scope , key elements , and relationships between elements to consider when identifying opportunities for improvements or even solutions , our team have 10 people with diverse backround like dentists , students , enerpreuners , etc .
Application
Applicated this method by creating a straw man graphic of the personalities of our clients and defining 2 common problem situations . To develop the straw man graphic , I will draw from any existing material available to understand the environment such as documents held within the company containing data about our clients , marketing material , training material or even from Google Forms we usually do every six months so our clients may evaluate us . The model I often start with also has four columns : the unwealthy that want to fix their smile , the unwealthy that don´t care , the wealthy that want to fix their smile and the wealthy that don´t care . The straw man graphic is simple , using simple shapes and icons available in Painting or on the Internet . For the activity , me and the cofounder draw situations based on the data we organized , representing each personality and we separate the team into four groups . Each trio receives a chart with a copy of the straw man graphic that they can write on directly , or use sticky notes to make comments . We give them two - three questions to answer , such as : 1 ) Are there any important information that is missing from the graphic ? 2 ) What would you change about the graphic to make it more accurate abou tour clientes problems and needs ? 3 ) What key insights do you have about the relationships between the personalities of the clientes in your problem space ? 4 ) What would be the approach of the group to solve this situation ? Question 4 comes in a way of empowering the team which seems to have a really positive effect like studied by me in a course : “ Management of the company of the Future ” in University of Bologna . After , approximately 20 minutes to discuss the questions and mark up the graphic , each group report out on their answers to those questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their poster . As the groups present what they think is the best improvements and solutions , we take notes about the common points in the insights of each group , and then additional insights that come from the group discussion . Later , I combine each group ’s poster and create a view that show the new insights from the group discussion .
Insight and Approach
What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that while the graphic , especially the revised graphic that combine their opinions , is important for reinforcing their understanding of the problem they are working to solve , the more valuable aspect of the activity is the shared learning that occurs while they are working to define their problem space , especially coming from a such distinct backrounds our employees have and shared insigths . 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 , finding ways to connect better with the clientes needs by exploring the situations that are trying to be resolved . The graphics helped them to easier locate our situation as a company in the mind of the clients and allowed an exchange of knowledge and information that speed up the process o f having new insights about what are the relationships between the company and the four personalities identified , giving more clarity of how we can better achieve more sales by transforming our customer service to a more personalized way to sell . Since I discovered that the most valuable aspect in the visualization tool is the shared insights and learning , next time I will use the visualization activity in the beggining of design thinking activities .

What is a Visualization ?
One of the most required and important thing for design thinking . It helps us to think in a different and a better way . It helps us to visualise in a non - verbal way and helps us to improve our creative skills .
What is done in Visualization ?
In visualization we have equal importance for listening , thinking and even drawing .
Steps of Visualization :
a ) Input : Here listening is input b ) Processing : Here thinking is the process c ) Output : Here drawing is the output .
All these steps together helps us to get new possibilities to solutions .
The main part is that you must be able to communicate with people . The requirements for mastering it are imagining people , spaces , situations and actions or movements .
The more you start drawing pictures , the more people understand of how and what you are talking in visual image form . It 's anything but difficult to make a basic outline – and most anybody can draw a stick figure , a circle , a square , or a bolt . Those are the essential structure squares of making a Visualization . We can open the ability to think contrastingly by doodling . Representation has a task to carry out all through the Design Thinking . It 's a fantastic device , in that sense , in that we 're utilizing those instruments and that piece of our cerebrum at each stage in the plan cycle . It 's not simply something that has an application in one piece of the Design Thinking . It has numerous methods of being helpful at various pieces of the Design Thinking measure .

Challenge & Selection
Most of the successful businesses nowadays have already proven that traditional
management tool is not sufficient , the capability for an organization to manage the “ unknowable ” by implementing new strategic management approaches e.g. Learning Launch , Storytelling , Mind - mapping etc . is deemed critical to an organization ’s long- term development . Among all the design thinking tools discussed in the lessons , most of them are new to me . “ Storytelling ” is an excellent tool which I believe could be the most applicable to my own situation as it can assist me putting insights and intuitions
into series of discussion topics . Quite often I need to deal with clients from variety of industry verticals and they usually raise service requests that are too complex to be understood by different stakeholders . The ability to relay complex information in a specific context to various groups of audiences has been a real challenge to my work . Storytelling , in such case , will be a compelling tool that can help me communicate effectively as it is not just about a list of things we have to do , it is about the “ connection ” that we give to people about a piece of information that we are trying to share ( Ref . Week 2 Lecture ) .
Application
To share about my own experience in applying “ Storytelling ” . I used to work in an IT
application departments and in the past when I came across to conducting technical workshops for colleagues , I once encountered a situation where people just sat down and listen without asking questions or trying to challenge the validity of the presentation content . When I back to office and discussed with my manager , we both agreed that apart from the content validity itself , the audiences might not be able to understand the underlying benefits and values of launching the new applications in supporting their day - to - day operations . In an attempt to prove our assumption was
correct , we conducted the second workshop and started with asking questions like : “ why do you come here today ? ” , “ how do you feel from the first workshop ? ” and “ what is your expected takeaway from today ’s workshop ? ” etc . And we also modified the training approach by adding some real - case scenarios ( i.e. stories ) that would have been encountered during daily operations and by linking the problems and challenges back to the specific function that the new application could possibly address by asking them to perform some demo practices with the aid of laptops and tablets . The scenario - based training approach offered the audiences to feel like they were actually encountering a real life problem and how best they could tackle it with the support of
the newly implemented systems during the workshop .
Insight & Approach
After attending this course , I started to understand people in workplaces might not be
inspired by reasons , rules or directives alone , but their underlying norms and values , from which they can not make sense of future events that they have not encountered nor anticipated . That explain why when sometimes I met senior executives finishing their speech by asking questions like : " So how do you feel right now ? ” , “ If it is not what you think , but how you do feel ? " . The audience would then start to feel a little confused half way through and wondered how it would come together through reflecting from what had been occurred in the past . In the event people wonder there
have been discrepancies from current practice , storytelling has been so compelling that can allow me to communicate the rationale behind so effectively in order to trigger motions and feelings from the audiences , by wrapping up with open - end questions . I will continue to make use this tool in designing my future workshops and present the most compelling stories I earned from the past .

Challenge & selection
I ’m part of the product team at the first digital bank in a developing country in South East Asia . We have launched our digital product , which is a current account and debit card ( as a bundle ) opened 100 % online via eKYC in partnership with a software company who provides solutions to fraud prevention and credit data scoring ( “ trust score ” ) . With this convenience , we have more than 2000 customers registered on daily average . However , after careful analysis , we realized that this number is mostly “ registered customers ” to receive our onboarding gift ( vouchers and cash - back benefits ) , not a loyal/ long - term customer . This means we are facing financial loss by giving offers to customers who wo n’t stay with us . For this reason , our team is conducting data analysis to gain an insight about customer behaviors and patterns of usage upon opening our product vs what the other rival banks are offering to turn “ one - time customers ” to “ loyal customers ” . I chose the learning launch approach because the marketing growth team has come up with a lot of interesting ideas ( via crowd - sourcing and competitive landscape analysis and even rich experience ) and this approach allows us to test whether one idea is validated as a business opportunity and worths investment .
Application
First , we reconsider our registration process to see if a better filtering/ categorization of potential customers can be obtained ( how they know about our products – organic , social media , affiliated links , etc . and whether they have accounts at other banks as well as their daily spending behaviors ) . As we have realized the gap to be improved internally , we started working with our vendor to enhance the process as well as system compatibility . After some enhancements , our product team developed test cases and started testing the enhanced environment before going live . We created many profiles of persona to check if the filtering/ categorization works well . The whole process will take approximately 1 month from idea initiation to going live updated version .
Next , with these qualified customers , we started tracking their behaviors with weekly reports ( times logged in/ out , numbers of purchases made per week , the average amount spent , on which platforms , linked to any e - wallet , etc . ) . From such , hypothesis can be generated . For example , a large amount of customers aged between 25 - 40 tend to use the account to pay for electricity/ water bills and make purchases on e - commerce . Then we can think of :
1 . Launching the cash - back scheme for those who use their account to make electricity/ water bills . ( The finance team then started calculated the good ratio of cash back so that the bank can make some marginal profit ) 2 . Establishing partnerships with the e - commerce companies for discount vouchers to those who use the bank account to make payments
The aim of these initiatives is in the end retaining valuable and lifelong customers who will bring profits to our bank .
For each of these schemes , we designed a survey to ask for customers ’ selection and whichever wins will be launched first within one - month trial timeframe . We continue tracking customers ’ behaviors with
this new campaigns to see their reactions and decide whether to move on with it or consider other alternatives .
Insights
With this approach , our marketing team and product team have coordinated to make assumptions and launched them to verify the effectiveness . We have compared the expected results to the realistic ones which display quite a gap . We have been able to identity it , revise and improve it as a long - term project with clearly defined KPIs .
Approach
Depending on the problems to solved next time , either this approach or others ( visualization , story telling , mind mapping ) will be applied .

### Input: DIGITAL BANK GROWTH – LEARNING LAUNCH APPROACH
Challenge & selection
I ’m part of the product team at the first digital bank in a developing country in South East Asia . We have launched our digital product , which is a current account and debit card ( as a bundle ) opened 100 % online via eKYC in partnership with a software company who provides solutions to fraud prevention and credit data scoring ( “ trust score ” ) . With this convenience , we have more than 2000 customers registered on daily average . However , after careful analysis , we realized that this number is mostly “ registered customers ” to receive our onboarding gift ( vouchers and cash - back benefits ) , not a loyal/ long - term customer . This means we are facing financial loss by giving offers to customers who wo n’t stay with us . For this reason , our team is conducting data analysis to gain an insight about customer behaviors and patterns of usage upon opening our product vs what the other rival banks are offering to turn “ one - time customers ” to “ loyal customers ” . I chose the learning launch approach because the marketing growth team has come up with a lot of interesting ideas ( via crowd - sourcing and competitive landscape analysis and even rich experience ) and this approach allows us to test whether one idea is validated as a business opportunity and worths investment .
Application
First , we reconsider our registration process to see if a better filtering/ categorization of potential customers can be obtained ( how they know about our products – organic , social media , affiliated links , etc . and whether they have accounts at other banks as well as their daily spending behaviors ) . As we have realized the gap to be improved internally , we started working with our vendor to enhance the process as well as system compatibility . After some enhancements , our product team developed test cases and started testing the enhanced environment before going live . We created many profiles of persona to check if the filtering/ categorization works well . The whole process will take approximately 1 month from idea initiation to going live updated version .
Next , with these qualified customers , we started tracking their behaviors with weekly reports ( times logged in/ out , numbers of purchases made per week , the average amount spent , on which platforms , linked to any e - wallet , etc . ) . From such , hypothesis can be generated . For example , a large amount of customers aged between 25 - 40 tend to use the account to pay for electricity/ water bills and make purchases on e - commerce . Then we can think of :
1 . Launching the cash - back scheme for those who use their account to make electricity/ water bills . ( The finance team then started calculated the good ratio of cash back so that the bank can make some marginal profit ) 2 . Establishing partnerships with the e - commerce companies for discount vouchers to those who use the bank account to make payments
The aim of these initiatives is in the end retaining valuable and lifelong customers who will bring profits to our bank .
For each of these schemes , we designed a survey to ask for customers ’ selection and whichever wins will be launched first within one - month trial timeframe . We continue tracking customers ’ behaviors with
this new campaigns to see their reactions and decide whether to move on with it or consider other alternatives .

1 . Challenge : Describe your challenge , including all relevant information .
My challenge takes part in the Digitalization field . My company is indeed looking to digitalizing their interactions with the customers . The idea was to funnel all the requests of the customer in one single place from which the company 's teams can respond . The idea was to create a simple form that the customer would fill to send a request to the company 's teams . The form had to include some drop down fields to be filled by the customer defining the type of request being sent . The type of request defines the appropriate persons who can respond to the request . The so - called " ticket " is directly sent to the right contact . The customer is also able to track all the requests and their status on the platform . The first step of course is to test the idea with some customers .
2 . Selection : In your own words , briefly describe the tool you selected ( e.g. , what it is and why you selected it for your challenge -- including any appropriate video lecture references ) .
The tool selected to tackle the challenge is the Learning Launch Tool . This tool is often used to quickly test an idea using a prototype that is exactly what is needed in this situation . The outputs of the test will help deciding whether to continue or stop the project . The learnings from the test will also provide good opportunities and ideas to improve the project .
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 ) .
After creating the prototype of the form , I selected some customers and their associated teams . The customers who accepted to take part into the test phase had to use the online platform to interact with the teams instead of using e - mails . As explained in the course , the initial assumption was confronted to the needs of the customers to understand if the project could be valuable . The test phase lasted about two months in order to collect enough data and returns of experience . At the end of phase , the customers and teams shared their insights on the value raised and potential improvements .
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 ) .
The Learning Launch Tool gave me a frame to follow in order to run the test . I think that the course outlined the fact that the Learning Launch Tool has to be used on a short period of time . I indeed tried to make it a short as I could and it was very beneficial to be able to understand as much the benefits / drawbacks of the an idea . It was helpful as it quickly proved that the idea is valuable and that there is even more potential for improvement .
5 . Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why .
I think I will continue to use the Learning Launch Tool as I have many ideas to test . I will however try to make the time frame even shorter and make sure to choose the right people to on - board on the test .
Thanks for reading :)

SELECTION & CHALLENGES
Here , I am using „ Visualisation‟ tools from 1st module . Visualisation is the most efficient methods of design thinking and innovation process . It helps to organize all these in a formation and in a visually brain - friendly method . When we are thinking of an idea , suppose , we taste a specific food or visit a place , on that time our mind starts to link this action with our old memories and previous experience using a relevant model . Our brain starts to think with one centre action , colour , taste or image and builds branches of thoughts that are used as a base for other multiplied ideas . Our thinking process is very similar to tree branches . Basically , this concept is used as the basis for all Visualisation systems and approaches also .
There are different challenges I face in time of Visualisation process . The first challenge is memorizing . Many people struggle with memorizing capability . We all have different techniques which suit us best . Like some people use visuals , some prefer auditory input . Kinaesthetic method is also popular among young learners .
It says that approximately 65 % of the population is visual learners . Just think that how much
visualization can help us to memorize and acquire new concepts by building on our previous
knowledge .
We are especially blessed with this digital age where we are getting different visual input that
makes it easier for us to recall the information even after longer periods of time .
The second challenge is Brain storming process . It is defined that a group discussion to solve
a problem or to get new ideas .
Sometimes Brainstorming may look a chaotic situation at times , but this „ creative chaos‟ is
the place where new ideas are born , generated and developed . There are lot of research in the
field of brainstorming implications which suggest that the format which we use to write down
all different suggested ideas can influence the quality of the session .
Visualization and brainstorming both is the perfect match for several reasons :
Visualization processes are dynamic and can follow up the fast - changing tempo of a brainstorming session .
All potential interrelationships between certain ideas can be seen in various ways .
Visual ideas can hold the brain storming session under control . Brainstorming is an open- ended process and can easily go off - topic if the limits of discussion are not clear - cut .

Application of Visualization
Step1
I have applied visualization process in time of writing a paper . I tried to find a different topic which is not written by any researchers . In time of visualization I have written “ My Topic ” in the centre of the map , and then I started to write my ideas around the centre . There may be the topics which are suggested by my teacher , or discussed in class or anything which is relevant to me . Then I noted down my own areas of interest and saw where they intercept with the former . Once I have a few good ideas for the subject of my paper , I started weighing them against each other , also noting down pros and cons . And eliminate topics until I was left with only one . This would be the topic of my paper .
Step2
Next step is the Research Process :
When we are working through primary and secondary both sources , it is quite easy to get confused about the numerous views and counter arguments mentioned by the different authors . It is very tough to figure out how to make the different pieces of information fit together and makes a relevant text .
I need to collect and structure all this information in one central place , so I can easily review the materials while I write .
Step 3
Collecting Research :
We have to Create a new map(by which we can expand our visualization capability ) for each source ( book , article , and essay ) , which I read and take notes in this process while I work through the text . Alternatively , I used one single map where I listed all my sources and create branches for every page / paragraph / quote which I want to use in my paper .
Step4
Outlining the paper in a Visualization
Before I started with the actual writing , it‟s very important that I have to create an outline of my paper first . This would help me create a coherent structure of my arguments , counterarguments , examples , quotes , and the sources which I want to reference in each argument .
Then it is very easy to review quickly this outline whenever I get sidetracked in my writing process . A visual mind map is a great format for such an outline because it provides us a visual overview of our thesis statement and the entire text structure .
Design Thinking and Innovation
Indhumathi Shaikh Page 3
Insights and approaches of Mind Mapping
Visualizationis a goal oriented process . It helps to generate new ideas , improves productivity , problem solving skills . It is very helpful in brainstorming problems and building on ideas to determine solutions . In presentation method one is able to show how a process is developed , visualizing alternatives and topics discussed .
Different people often come up different ideas that they feel are the key areas of focus for a visual map or process . With the same inputs , different people can develop a different looking thoughts , but the process will still generate the same end items , just only grouped differently . That is not something to worry about , though .
The more we practice , the more we‟ll find a style that suits us , and new ways to use them .Visual maps or visualization processes are very quick and easy to use . We have to try to find new ways to implement them into our work .
