Reflection- Mind Mapping Challenge / Selection- Mind mapping is a tool I often use in the field of public policy . One of the key challenges faced daily when designing efficient public policy is finding a policy that positively impacts people and where the benefits clearly outweigh the costs . One of the worst things a policymaker can do is create policy that does not alleviate a problem or has some negative externality that negates any positive impact of the policy . As a result of this , policymaking is extremely data driven with many research studies , focus groups and investigations conducted to determine potential impacts and to analyze possible solutions . One of the best ways to extrapolate this data is with mind mapping . Mind mapping , as Professor Moore stated , is essential to find patterns that can lead to creative solutions for design challenges . In order to design efficient policy , there must be ways to synthesize data and determine unique and creative solutions . Application- One of the key applications of mind mapping I became involved in was working with a local college as they designed a new recycling program for their undergraduate students . The university had purchased new recycling bins and placed them around campus , yet were disappointed that the rate of frequency by students to recycle their bottles and paper had not increased . The university had mapped out locations of the recycling containers and the amount of recyclables collected weekly from the program . Several were placed in areas frequently traveled by students and staff , while others were in smaller academic buildings with much less foot traffic . I conducted some research by counting students who traveled various paths as well as observed the bins and took note of who was recycling and who was disregarding the containers . I also interviewed some students and staff about their knowledge and awareness of the recycling initiative on campus . I then needed to take this information and figure out a means to improve the recycling program on the campus . One of the first things I did was create a mind map . At the center of the map , I placed the overall goal : improving the recycling program by increasing the amount of recycled items that were recycled each week . Following this , I made several subgroups of issues I believed could affect the frequency of recycling . These included details such as the design of the bins , location , potential users , and improving the education and awareness about the recycling program . Following this preliminary work , I then added sub - categories to these groups and recruited some volunteers to work with me . By laying out all the information in a logical and clear mind map , our group was able to see with clarity some problems that existed with the university program . The bins themselves were blue , but lacked distinct lids or markers that distinguished which container was for bottles or paper and as a result a mix of recyclables were tossed in each bin . Purchasing clearly marked , color coded lids was a simple fix . Additionally , we noted that the university had purchased the bins , but had failed to conduct a well - conceived education campaign about them , meaning that the students and staff on the campus were unaware of the college ’s investment in recycling . Printing posters , brochures and other educational material was an easy fix for this issue . Many students and professors took to social media as well and highlighted the benefits of recycling through their facebook , instagram , twitter and snapchat accounts . By first recognizing the flaws and then remedying the missteps quickly and inexpensively enabled the program to improve . By implementing simple fixes , the university was able to modify the program and the amount of weekly recycling increased . This was a successful use of mind mapping . Insight- While I was aware of the existence of mind mapping as a tool , actually using it to plan steps and see solutions is much more powerful when you actually utilize mind mapping to solve a problem . I learned a lot from purposefully using mind mapping . I learned that having a constructive and coherent means to analyze and interpret data is an incredibly effective way to design policy . Much like in the MeYouHealth story , we looked for patterns and as a result , we developed better and more innovative ideas . Our team was able to use the mind map to come up with strategies and resolutions to the university ’s policy that were both cost effective and influential . Approach- If I was asked to examine another university recycling program and have an opportunity to design a policy for the university I would definitely use design thinking . In addition to utilizing mind mapping , I would also use visualization this time . One of the limits of the prior system is that I was brought in to analyze and “ fix ” the program , not design it from the beginning . Were that opportunity to present itself , I would use the visualization activity and design the policy to be more effective from the beginning . Having the ability to visualize an effective policy in the design phase is a good way to create lasting social change via design thinking .

1 . Challenge I work in a global Company ( Deutsche Telekom ) . My unit is in Brazil and we were selected to be the first unit that has an operation in our global point of production , in India . This POP ( point of production ) is a hub from technology where provides services to local customers ( Brazilian Customers ) from there . Our challenge was connecting Brazil Teams and India Teams to work with transparency and synergy for our final customers in Brazil without issues like timezone , culture , language , etc . 2 . Selection We need to understand both sides and of course , it is necessary to create empathy and collaboration , but it was two worlds completely different . For this challenge , I selected the mind mapping tool to understand the gaps e needs , and how we could improve or solve possible issues . I used this tool because the center of our problem was people ( culture ) and understanding what ’s the peculiarities of each country would solve 80 % of problems . 3 . Application We had some sessions ( starting with stakeholders until the technician team ) and mapping all points necessary to work on . Below it has a picture of the results . 4 . Insights In the beginning sessions , the connections between the person got started . The Language was the first issue found because here in Brazil , the English are not obligated to know , and to India ’s guy the accent is very heavy , but on the other hand , this helps to create more empathy ( one of propose of tool ) . Another insight we had was we needed to get a step back and use a basic questionary about info from the audience , like food preference , religion , etc . 5 . Approach After that , we used a mix of the tool : storytelling to introduce all important and basic points of all the countries like , why we speak Portuguese and India talks English , etc . The storytelling was based on the previous questionary . After the first session , I did the mind mapping more assertive with level 1 and 2 clear to be developed ( as food , language , economic , etc )

LEARNING LAUNCH Challenge : our organization that specializes in robotics design and manufacturing , also we started a replacement remotely platform during the pandemic year to remote all of our work . my / our challenge is to enhance the workflow like activities , Tasks delivery , and project milestones delivery within the designing department so as to extend productivity within the online channel and to deliver all tasks on time . The project scope includes the web platform and every one milestones manager composed of 4 managers and 14 designers , also because the larger designing department and development department , with whom we work closely . The project is restricted to internal resources ( i.e. , budget and designers ' time ) . The project should n't exceed 10 business days and therefore the solution should include a good distribution of working hours amongst the team members . we 'll specialize in trying to uncover what our team members , also as key stakeholders within the larger designing department and development department , concede to be ineffective or problematic with reference to the workflow . Selection : Our team has already skilled several design thinking tools , so we are able to try the learning launch tool . broadly , the learning launch is an experiment meant to quickly test a thought and prototype . Application : For our first learning launch , we focused on the structure / execution of our online designing tasks . especially , we wanted to ascertain if we could structure our tasks , projects , and processes to adapt the methods of agile project management for our work ( e.g. , time - boxed , daily , specific meetings , reviews , etc . ) in an attempt to become more scrum . This tested our assumption that the structure and execution were the most causes of our workflow challenge . Our team went through a full - day training with a Scrum project management trainer . Next , we went through some workshops to structure our tasks and processes during a more agile way . These two sessions occurred within a 4 days ’ timeframe . We expected to supply a document with a transparent description of our new , more agile processes / workflow . For our second learning launch , we focused on gaining clarity about our tasks and priorities . This tested our assumption that our prioritization of tasks was the most explanation for our workflow challenge . Our team completed an anonymous survey . Additionally , four key stakeholders from the designing department and development department also completed an anonymous survey . The surveys included questions on our new , proposed process , understanding the method and therefore the prioritization of tasks , and feelings about the change , and were conducted within a two days ’ timeframe . Insight : By applying the learning launch tool , our team identified our assumptions and designed launches to check these assumptions . Additionally , we thought through anticipated results , expecting to seek out that a more agile approach would improve our workflow , which both our team and therefore the key stakeholders would be fairly receptive the new prioritization of tasks and process . Our actual results were slightly different from what we anticipated : while our team was receptive the prioritization of tasks and process , the key stakeholders within the designing department and development department expressed some concerns . Moving forward , our team will review this insight and incorporate it into future launch designs . the continued incorporation of insight is especially important at this stage , as launches precede a full rollout within the design thinking timeline . Approach : Given that our team has already skilled several design thinking activities / tools and are at this stage within the timeline , the learning launch is that the appropriate tool . As previously mentioned , our team must 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 are available closer to a compelling solution ready for full rollout .

Business Projection . Challenge and Selection The challenge that I present myself is to generate projection ideas for the growth of the company and its innovation in terms of its own economy . facing the challenges and problems that may arise when growing as a company . Taking into account that the company must make decisions that involve innovating and seeing the company in the future . taking challenges to expand . I chose the mind map tool because it is an overly effective way of creating ideas , bringing up concrete solutions that will benefit the company . As is well known in a mental map , many ideas are generated from a center that , although it may be our problem to solve . we can see it as a brainstorming in which with different points of view and outlining the different ideas a concrete idea can be forged that without a doubt would bring something good . Application At the time of testing the tool as a means of solving problems . The identification of the problem and the correct investigation of how we could generate an idea when solving the problem were necessary . Once the problem was identified , a meeting with the entrepreneurs was necessary in order to start generating ideas . Having as center and only focus our problem or in some case the solution to which we want to arrive , putting around the central idea the means with which a solution can be reached or with which the previously proposed exit can be reached . As there are many ideas around which several should be discarded or put into discussion , the most viable ones should be chosen with a study of the scheme carried out in company with the others and for it to be more effective it must be taken into account all the variables that may appear in the development of the new collective strategy . Insight & Approach What I learned when doing this exercise is that different points of view are generated , from different approaches , with different paths to a solution . Not only can the many approaches be evidenced , but also debates are generated with which these diverse points of view can be united into one with the same objective . Thanks to these brainstorming , it is also possible to conclude that an idea is erroneous or has a deficiency in some part of the formulation . It can be seen that at some point in the exchange of ideas a limit can be reached with which they stumble and hold back , as it can be a problem that is not linear and that consequently has more variables that are obstacles to reaching the solution , but everything is a challenge that they face and as a company they try to solve . the tool is effective in generating ideas and alternatives to move forward , apart from being an integrative tool .

Learning Launch Challenge I am a consultant at a technical consultant firm , and I am active in on an in - house team called innovation team . In that team we are getting innovative new ideas from colleagues . The team gets to grade the ideas and by how new and innovative the idea is and when the idea gets a specific score that are in the green zone then we will we assign some engineers in the specific area that is needed for example if it is in IoT , Mechanical , Thermal , or Electrical and so on . It all depends what the idea is where it ends but usually more than one area is involved . The green zone means we will start realizing the idea by starting to make a specification and eventually to do some smaller tests and if works then it eventually be a real product in the future . Selection & Application We have done some design thinking tools and want to try the Learning Launch Tool . I think it will be great to apply this tool to do some experimental with a new innovation idea / prototype that do n’t exist today in the world . Main purpose is the do it quickly and to test it if the idea works in real life and second purpose is also to keep it small and low cost . Starting with breaking down the idea in several system and take the critical system for the product and make a simplified specification list for it . When the specification is complete then it is time to a small experiment that tests the functions of the new innovative idea . If it works , we will do same process for the other systems and until it is done . Is often that we buy the standard items that are cheap and works to test the system . Insight By learning and seeing the tool Learning Launch it is good approach to identify the assumptions and make / design the assumptions to test if it works . In our innovation team and the key stakeholder is the consultant company can make more better decision to terminated it or continue with the project / idea . The biggest insight is to verify if the idea works or not then make a better decision . Approach Our team at the innovation has several design thinking tools and with board knowledge within the product development . When an idea gets to more attention because of the green zone score it will more like be built in small scale to verify idea and minimizing the big cost when hitting an obstacle . The Learning Launch Tools is a good tool to apply . I think it I will applying this tool more often when it is suitable .

Main purpose is the do it quickly and to test it if the idea works in real life and second purpose is also to keep it small and low cost . Starting with breaking down the idea in several system and take the critical system for the product and make a simplified specification list for it . When the specification is complete then it is time to a small experiment that tests the functions of the new innovative idea . If it works , we will do same process for the other systems and until it is done . Is often that we buy the standard items that are cheap and works to test the system . Insight By learning and seeing the tool Learning Launch it is good approach to identify the assumptions and make / design the assumptions to test if it works . In our innovation team and the key stakeholder is the consultant company can make more better decision to terminated it or continue with the project / idea . The biggest insight is to verify if the idea works or not then make a better decision . Approach Our team at the innovation has several design thinking tools and with board knowledge within the product development . When an idea gets to more attention because of the green zone score it will more like be built in small scale to verify idea and minimizing the big cost when hitting an obstacle . The Learning Launch Tools is a good tool to apply . I think it I will applying this tool more often when it is suitable . ### Output:

Reflection – Visualization Challenge & Selection I am the head of the commercial team in the branch of our company . My goal is to ensure that the effective work of the team allows you to achieve the business objectives assigned to the branch in conditions of limited resources : budget , timing , competitors . In the process of working with the team we often gather for brainstorming sessions . During such meetings , one of the visualization tools is Ishikawa charts or " FishBone " diagrams . This method helps me to achieve a common understanding of the problem by all the team members performing different functions : marketing , sales , developers of product offers , customer service . After preliminary analysis by all stakeholders of cause - effect relationships , influencing factors and possible problems , the relevant conclusions and decisions are reached in a shorter time , and the decisions made are more effective . Application We begin the formation of the diagram with a clear formulation of the key problem , the solution of which is for the team . Next , I ask each member of the team to describe their individual vision of all the influencing factors by uniting them into groups : employees , work processes , machinery and equipment , materials used , as well as the actions of competitors and regulatory / supervisory authorities . Also on the diagram we leave a special place for things that can not be immediately distributed into one or another category . This leaves room for unconventional ideas and creativity . After each participant expressed his opinion within 30 - 40 minutes the whole team discusses the results . Next , we introduce changes and additions to the diagram in the possible causes , factors and consequences that were revealed in the process of collective discussion . As a result , we get a comprehensive view of the problem , its causes and possible solutions . Insight & Approach This format of the work helps not only to understand the cause - effect relationships and influencing factors in the analyzed problem , but also to expand the knowledge horizon and understanding of cross functional processes among employees of related functions . So the marketing staff is beginning to better understand the processes in the client service , and the developers of the product offerings are getting closer to the sales staff As a result , by reducing the scope of possible unreasonable and inefficient decisions , we get a list of decisions prioritized on effectiveness . Further , using the Pareto principle , we draw up an action plan . And it is also very important that the whole team participates in the formation of these decisions , strengthening the team 's cohesion , team spirit , and the horizons of employees in related areas of work .

Mind mapping – Digitalization process Challenge : I work in an organization that really needs to digitalize all the procedures , but there are so many areas and procedures involved that it is very difficult to implement . Nowadays , some procedures are digitalized , but others must be digitalized as soon as possible . We have to recognize the sectors involved as well as the procedures , the people in charge and the tasks in this process . To define the scope and the relationships between these elements , I have used Mind Mapping . Selection : I think that Mind Mapping is a very useful tool to looks for patterns and insights in a large quantity of data collected . This tool is an engaging alternative to that giant report we might otherwise have written to sum up and communicate in prose , and charts , and spreadsheets . Moreover , we will need to create some procedures , so for a more creative solution I think that Mind Mapping is an excellent technique . Application : In discussing the digital transformation of the organization , I have met the 4 chiefs in related areas and 12 colleagues to recognize the procedures , the people in charge and the tasks involved , and how they are connected to each other , what they have done so far and how the digitalization process could be improved . We have been divided into groups of 4 participants , and each group have written down the procedures , the people in charge and the tasks involved for the digitalization process . After an hour , this session has triggered lots of ideas . Each group has reported to the others , and their answers have been shared to record commonalities in the insights of each group , and then additional insights that come from the group discussion . Insight & Approach : We could identify useful insights . We widen our perspective of the procedures , the people in charge and the tasks involved in the process of digitalization . We could learn that some areas are overwhelmed of activities , and can not deliver tasks on time . That situation delays the activities of other areas involved . It is important to plan several regular tasks and save time for big processes as the digital transformation of the company . After this experience , I realize that mind mapping is a very creative and visual tool , and it is , also , more engaging . Since I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning , next time I would use this technique as a starting point for a series of design thinking activities .

Challenge In my last year of university , I decided to volunteer in an organization that works throughout Latin America . This organization is distinguished by its hard work building healthy societies and increasing opportunity through the construction of emergency housing and the execution of programs and projects that cover needs in underserved communities . Brahma Company works in 6 different states , and I participated with the organization in the state of Puebla . Each community in which this organization works is assigned a team of five to six volunteers . Each volunteer in the team has a different profile ( different degrees and mayors , and personal backgrounds ) than the other team members , which helps with the diversity of ideas and enriches teamwork . In August 2019 , my team and I were assigned a new community . After conducting extensive surveys and spoking with community leaders over several visits , we identified several issues that Brahma Company could be involved in . However , these problems had to be tackled individually and in a gradual manner . Selection and Application The first matter the team agreed to work on was an isolated collective of women in the community between 50 to 70 years of age . These women felt that they were not actively participating within their family or community and therefore felt left out . They were interested in carrying out some social activities , but at the same time , they needed financial remuneration to support their family . Choosing a social and economic activity for this group of women was a difficult decision since it had to be in accordance with their interests and lifestyle . In order to decide what activity best suited these women , my team gathered to discuss and to choose the best option . We decided to use visualization as a tool to communicate individual ideas regarding the possible activities . Visualization offers images to observe and understand another person 's feelings or ideas and allows fresh concepts to emerge from our imagination . Through visualization , ideas were represented in single words , drawings , and specific hours of the day that each team member thought would be convenient for these women . The ideas were written or drawn on post - it notes and , fixed to the wall . We then discerned which ideas we believed were viable to carry out , akin to pattern - finding . Finally , we classified the ideas we considered similar ; the remaining grouped ideas were included in a new survey with the option to write comments concerning the activities . We collected the data from the surveys to determine the final activity and its details . As a result , we concluded that all women enjoyed knitting and making crafts , and a knitting group was organized with committed women who felt isolated in their community . The group dynamic had a positive response so the next step was to create a brand of accessories ( from earrings to sweaters ) made with yarn . This group met twice a week to agree on styles , new products , and assignments . Eventually , we helped the women bring their brand to local events and markets . This activity not only allowed these women to have a personal income and help with family costs , but they also regained their economic independence and formed a solid group within their community with the same interests and similar problems , helping them to feel supported . Insight Visualization was a useful tool to work through this challenge . In the first place , the team was composed of volunteers with different profiles . This enriched the project since each team member understood the issue in a particular way and had a different approach . Because of this , visualization as a tool made the diverse approaches easier to comprehend ; the post - it notes with drawings , single words , and specific hours of the day were useful so everybody could picture how a certain activity would unfold . However , after taking the course of Design Thinking for Innovation , I better- understood visualization as a tool . This course made clear the importance of the technique and the adequate methodology . Visualization is a key tool for the process of innovation . It helps to display all possibilities in a more outright way to achieve consensus to choose the best strategy . Approach I believe that visualization was the right tool for this part of the project design . This tool allowed us to communicate in a nonverbal way , which is helpful because messages can be misunderstood during discussions with different viewpoints . The team working on this project was so diverse , with countless approaches that were feasible , that visualization was the most reliable tool to help us make our decisions . Nevertheless , if I had the knowledge I have now , rather than classifying the post - it notes with ideas by similarity , it would have been better to create different timelines or maps to be more empathetic with this group of women . By doing this , we could have imagined their day- to- day more accurately . If this had been the case , we would have identified the difficulties these women might have had , and the variety of activities and what they entailed would have decreased . This would have helped us to start this project sooner and it would not have needed the same adjustments that it did .

Page 1 of 2 Embracing the change through Visualization 1 . Challenge & Selection Visualization is a technique used to image the desired outcome in present time . The technique helps you foresee your ideas coming to the reality . This technique is not a new thing . Rather , it is very longstanding and is used by very handful of people or group of people . The challenge is though it is time honoured , the technical is not prevalent in people or group . The tool is more seen as imaginary exercise . The outcome is still in future with possibility of will it happen or will it not happen may remain with the thought runner . The challenge often observed that things need to be action urgently , whereas visualization is thoughtful and deep attention process and is pre - action phase which reflects time devotion at large . One of such challenge promptly appear to me is the instance where particular invoices were needed to be sent to the customer on daily basis . This used to take days owing to manual and time - consuming process . When approached the process owner , the thought was to address the time spent by the team while processing these invoices whereas the other aspect of the problem got underweighted . The tool is more of exploration of future in the current time zone . Not only this , the visualization is treated as artist or visual artist ’s , or may we call them designer , tool . Thus , has confined usage in various fields . 2 . Selection We started interviewing the process owner and process operators to know their experiences in detail . The response was more or less similar and less oriented towards making the process as no man process . Each process element had subset of process which was required to performed by the operator religiously . We decided to select the picturing the process for owner and operator thus they could give more insights on their process and part of the work done by the operator . To do so , we selected box diagrams to help the user understand and share valuable inputs . This become basis for helping them visualise the process in bits and pieces and help us understand what and how things are observed by the operators . This led a stepping stone to select flow chart diagram for visualization . Page 2 of 2 3 . Application While drafting simple box diagram along with the process owner and operator we realised the pictures or mere fitting activity in simple box and connecting them to the next stage was giving us more intuitive response . It was time to elevate the user to next level and help them visualize end to end process . This exercise not only educated the process owner to see process in its entirety but also added inputs from the process operator . As a next step to the address revamp the process and make it no man process . We presented the flow chart to the team with solution . The flow chart further helped the stakeholders to identify the failing points , building an audit trail and report management . The flow chart visualization technique helped the stakeholders foresee their renewed process and experience its ease in day to day work with time saving . 4 . Insight It was wonderful experience working on visualization technique . The challenge was not only you visualize the things but to make someone else visualise the change for boost . It not only helped stakeholders know what they do in day to day life , educate new entry in team but also added new experience to my kitty . As we use such tools it is very important to know that it is being absorbed , understood and accepted by the team who is undergoing a change . The learning was to identify the interest and applying appropriate tool to the audience is very crucial . Though the benefits are future driven , the essence of uplifting learning curve of the process owner and operator was delightful . 5 . Approach I would like to make it more elaborative by doing it though swim - line diagram . This will add more value to vision of the receiver of the information . It will help receiver understand as how process moves from one operator to another operator . This will uplift user learning curve as users will start knowing what happens before and after , who does what , and what role is performed by other parties to the process . This can be then referred by the process owner for years to come for reference , educate / refresh themselves or new inductees or use the same material for identifying and incorporating new changes to it . It will work as base to elevate the work and individual further .

Challenge- I am heading marketing in ABC and my groups challenge is to improve on branding and establish brand architecture for ABC .A well - defined brand architecture helps drive effectiveness in a brand portfolio . When brands and their roles within a portfolio are clearly defined , there is internal and external clarity on what the brands stand for a how a brand relates to other brands . A defined architecture helps present the brand consistently across geographies and touch points . Clarity and consistency drive efficiencies – in marketing spends , in synergizing efforts consistency and efficiency enhances the effectiveness of the brand in stronger brands . We are , for the first time , defining a brand architecture strategy for the ABC . This will help us leverage our most precious asset other brands in our portfolio to the fullest extent . Put simply , we are developing a framework to help us decide on how we use the ABC brand , how we relate other brands to ABC and finally , how we best present the ABC brand to the internal and external world . Selection- My team has gone through several design thinking activities / tools , therefore we decided to start with learning launch tool followed by Visualization , or Visual thinking . By using Learning launch we can experiment to quickly test an idea and prototype for Visualization . Visualization , or Visual Thinking , was used to achieve a shared understanding of a problem space among a diverse group of stakeholders ( Manufacturing /Sales /After Market etc . ) before attempting to identify and define possible solutions to the problem . From Week 4 – We can quickly learn to develop prototype of designs /logos and from Week 1 we can put prototype to get stake holders to add value by feedback through visualization . Application - By using Learning launch 1st , we use the term “ wordmark ” we are referring to the “ ABC ” mark . The millennium logo is the symbol that currently goes with the wordmark . The following will be the changes resulting from the brand architecture exercise : • A coherent , simple brand architecture strategy , for The “ ABC ” word mark is being refreshed • The brand will be presented in a darker shade of the ABC red - the color red becomes the primary color of the brand . Our team completed an anonymous survey . The surveys included questions about our new , proposed millennium logo and color , understanding feelings /perceptions about the change . For our second learning launch , we focused on gaining clarity about implementation and deployment . • The millennium logo becomes a product badge for the mobility products and will not be used at the corporate level • A graphic element , the Ridge , has been introduced • Brand voice ( how the brand speaks , in the printed form ) principles have been developed All the changes listed above are the result of feedback received from internal and external stakeholders . We conducted an extensive global research study to evaluate all the elements of the ABC identity mark , the colors we use in our visual system etc . Insights- By applying Launch tool research informed us of the need for change and also provided insights into the direction and extent of change . The symbol that currently goes with the wordmark . New Wordmark the following are the changes , resulting from the brand architecture exercise : A coherent , simple brand architecture strategy , for all group companies to follow the “ ABC ” word mark is being refreshed .The brand will be presented in a darker shade of the “ ABC ” red ; the color red becomes the primary color of the brand The millennium logo becomes a product badge for the mobility products , products and will not be used at the corporate level A graphic element , the Ridge , has been introduced Brand voice ( how the brand speaks , in the printed form ) principles have been . The decision to define a brand architecture strategy for the group was taken around the time “ ABC ” was approved . This exercise is the result of the group ’s intent to build a strong global brand and the change will help us achieve our aspiration . All the changes listed above are the result of feedback received from internal and external stakeholders . The brand logo of “ ABC ” is a pictorial representation of how the brand is interpreted within the organization . This illustration helps us understand how the brand aligns with the vision of the organization . The overarching Core Purpose acts as the rationale behind which every employee of the organization works . This is supported by the brand pillars that hold everything together . The core values act as our guiding foundation to balance the strong tenets surmised in the brand pillars . OLD LOGO NEW LOGO Approach- Brainstorming sessions led by ‘ Design Thinking ’ were conducted and learning launch and Visualization were chosen as tools to move forward . If it looks good , you 'll see it . If it sounds good , you 'll hear it .

DESIGN THINKING FOR INNOVATION 1 . Challenge in question is the Promotion of indigenous beverages such as ginger beer ; tamarind drink and corn drink to the general public . 2 . Selection : The design thinking tool selected is STORY TELLING . This tool is selected as it affords us the opportunity to turn the underlying message to a CAUSE . That way the right audience or stakeholders can be emotionally appealed to . 3 . Application : In the application of story telling . I created a scenario around a matriarch and her quest to host her grandchildren during the holidays . Upon the arrival of the wards she wonder what she may offer them as refreshment as well as an opportunity to learn about their rich culture and the need to uphold and share . In developing the scenario , an empathic tone is taken to appeal to the stakeholders . This sends a strong signal for connection as the use of the tool invokes compassion . This will cause the audience to move 4 . Insight : In the application of the tool , I realize that the use of the tool turns challenges to causes that will appeal to senses of the audience . It is to be used tactfully so as to come across as sycophantic . 5 . Approach : Context of the challenge is key in determining the tool to use . If I am to chose another tool it will be MIND MAPPING . This will take a more systematic process to yield results . However may not be greatly appealing as would the STORY TELLING TOOL

Tool : Visualization Challenge : Describe your challenge , including all relevant information . I currently work at an advertising agency in Australia and I was posed the following question : how can we go about making the recruitment process less time and admin heavy ? The process is currently ad - hoc and involves no formal agreed process . It usually involves a lot of emails back and forth which leaves a lot of room for human error , and also requires a lot of time from those employees involved . Also stakeholder approval on the hire currently lacks process and therefore last minute hurdles hiring employees can arise which means a cumbersome process for employees potentially coming onboard which affects our brand image . Selection : In your own words , briefly describe the tool you selected ( e.g. , what it is and why you selected it for your challenge -- including any appropriate video lecture references ) . I decided to organise a visualisation session with a wide range of stakeholders across the leadership team , a range of hiring managers , and the HR and recruitment teams . Visualisation is a way of portraying information in a visual , non - verbal manner which might involve stick people , flowcharts and post - its , and is created in a collaborated fashion . Visualisation can help with understanding the problem at hand , with idea generation and with prototyping . It can make the process of data feel ‘ more real ’ , can unlock other parts of our brains and creativity to unlock all potential options and solutions . Liedtka & Ogilvie ( 2011 ) suggest it ’s ‘ the mother of all design tools ’ as it can be used in every stage of the Design Thinking process . Visualisation as a tool was coined by Design Thinking pioneers with product design backgrounds . However , the idea of drawing , mind - mapping and experimenting with prototypes is new to the business world as managers can often find the idea of drawing fairly concerning . Here are some examples of visualisation I found online : The benefits of visualisation are around the ability to engage employees and provide space for them to contribute and be part of discovery of new ideas . It allows for curation ( drilling down to the essence and removing barriers ) and thereby allows a space of employees to feel ownership for the outcome . 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 selected stakeholder team met in the boardroom armed with huge post - it note pads and individual post - it notes with the task of simply mapping out the current system . The team were given the day to the do this so there was time available to dig into the depth of this process . The team were informed immediately that this was a safe collaboration space with no wrong answers . This was a huge opportunity for collaboration , so we commenced as a group to make out the process from the initial step of an individual looking to hire a new employee all the way through to the new employee starting . Once we had laid out the process as a wider team , I asked them to take their individual post - it note pads and add on pink post - its areas in which the huge process map caused them some frustrations or took them a lot of time , and then next to the pink post - it , they were asked to place a green post - it with a potential solve . The aim of these two tasks was to create collaboration followed by individual thinking time . The outcome was an entire wall in our Board room covered in drawings and post - it notes . 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 ) . Overall we discovered four insights : 1 . The need to set up a digital process where the Head of HR and the CEO approve the hire before the Recruitment Manager receives the brief . This prevent stakeholder approval issues and wasted time further down the recruitment process . 2 . The need to digitise the kick - off process so that the Hiring Manager requests a hire via an online form which then automatically goes to the Head of HR and the CEO for approve , and once approved to the Recruitment Manager . Once with the Recruitment Manager , the Hiring Manager is made aware of its status and that the ‘ hunt ’ is live . 3 . The need for the Recruitment Manager to use that brief to create a job ad which is then sent back to the Hiring Manager for clarification and approval . This ensures all stakeholders are aligned and the correct candidates are located for the Hiring Manager thereby saving approximately 8 hours a week for the Hiring Manager and 16 hours a week for the Recruitment Manager . 4 . The need to digitise the onboarding process so that once the new employee is located , the Hiring Manager completes one final form which automatically goes to IT for computer equipment and the Office Manager for desk allocation . Also this form automatically completed cells in a Google Doc for the Finance Dept to keep a track and cross - check new starters and payroll monthly . The energy in rolling these actions out has been immense due to the collaboration and ownership gained from the group visualisation activity . Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why . As this was the first time I had completed a design thinking methodology , I expect I could have gone further . Visualisation was an incredibly versatile tool and developed some innovative solutions but with a more confident approach and some mind - mapping , I ca n’t help but think we may have got even further . I allowed the stakeholder team space as prescribed during my research but I perhaps was n’t clear enough in my expected outcomes . I think mind - mapping would have allowed more ‘ bouncing off ’ of ideas and potentially more in innovative solutions .

Learning Launch Tools Challenge I am a student learning about design but in the branch of designing solutions , guidelines , and applications to suit the limitations and situations assigned by using various ideas that can be thought . It 's fun and it ’s like something that we can see surrounding yourselves in everyday life . I challenge myself regardless of what the problem is , I intend that I will manage it to come out best . I will keep looking for ways and learn new things all the time to apply it to my daily life and my work . My branch work is necessary to consider the possibilities and practical use . There are many steps in the work that is complicated and sometimes chaotic . There are both to understand yourself and to understand other team members in each department to complete the job . When we work with many people make many ideas so we have to analyze and do the agreement with your team members as soon as possible . The faster you can manage your doubts , you will manage those problems more quickly too . Selection After I learned about Design thinking tools , I learned a lot of tools other than I have learned before . It made me discover that there is a tool that I think It 's very close to my work and my life . When I studied about it which made me want to learn more , that is Learning Launch Tools . If we have doubts , we search for the truth by testing to confirm and prove that our idea is correct , or can it be done , and is it good ? The concept of this tool is , we will test and learn what happens after the experiment , whether it is successful or failed . It is that we launch into the unknown as the professor said in the video about this tool . Made me choose this tool because in my work is working with ideas that I do n’t know how it can be possible or not . This is a good thing to use this tool because it is fast and cheap experiment and because in my own daily life I always being afraid of things I do n't know , but I 'm not afraid to try it . This is the reason why I like this tool . For me , this Learning launch tool is able to support my challenge . Application I spend a lot of time - solving problems , whether it be work or life . I have always thought for the best results . And there are many situations that I have used this learning launch tool because it responds well to my challenges . In the work of my branch which I study . In addition to doing regular university projects , I also have a project that has to be done with a large organization . Causing me to go to the area to explore and find information . When everything is sufficient , my team would discuss what is our next step ? then what shall we do next ? Everything of work must always have steps . So we started by looking at the problem and understanding it as soon as possible . Including what we have to do as well When working as a team , it 's very normal to face many ideas , this is also a problem because we can not know which idea is the best solution ? We can not know whether those ideas are possible or not . So , what we need to do quickly is the test to see what ideas we should use and what we should improve . The idea is the same with assumption . It 's a using learning launch tool , something that makes everyone see the truth from something that everyone does n’t know including myself too . Everyone in the team will understand and accept the results of the test . Therefore will not use any bias because everything is clear so everyone will also see the evidence and reasons that can be used in projects . After we have selected the ideas from the experiment we will move on to the next step to improve it and make our work get better and efficient . For in my daily life , aside from work I always have problems with both nonsense and huge problems but I always see it as exciting things because it will cause me do n't get stressed out . And because I have challenged myself too so I often find ways to solve those problems . My management process is similar to work , which is I do everything step by step . In order to manage and edit each step . When I know what the problem is , I will look for a solution by thinking in many ways like the everyday person . It is normal for people that want to find a way to solve the problems and I am also one of them . But in reality , we do n't have enough time to try every idea that we can think of . Therefore , the next step I will look at the possibilities and test which ways will be the best solutions to solve the problem . I will take the alternative error that I have tried and it was not chosen , to adapt to the next situation . I tend to learn with mistakes . Because I always thought that it was good that we knew it ca n’t . This is to uses the learning launch tool in my daily life . Insight As I have learned about this tool , it made me understand the purpose better that when we test the various ideas , we do not only prove or confirm it but the mistakes or the results of those tests that can not be done , I can bring it to learn and bring further improvements to the next idea . It made me look at my thoughts wider than before by making me confident in my thoughts because even though I 'm not afraid to try but I 'm not sure if it 's done correctly and most people do it or not . That is how I believe that if I do n't try it , I do n't know it . But after learning this learning launch tool , it made me understand and be more confident . And also makes me want to continue to challenge myself . Approach From my learning this time , makes me want to be determined to do the challenge of myself happily and gather experience of those errors as much as possible . However , if I have a lot of ideas in my head but I ca n't explain it to other or team members understandable , how useful would it be ? So I will use ‘ visualization tools ’ to help people who are listening to my explanation or not understanding what I mean to get understand correctly . Because when we explain something verbally by without helping tools such as a presentation or some drawing to make it clearer , the imagination between the speaker and the audience while listening will different . So these tools will help them see and get the right same image and understanding . This is the reason why I think it is important to use these tools with my challenges .

There are many steps in the work that is complicated and sometimes chaotic . There are both to understand yourself and to understand other team members in each department to complete the job . When we work with many people make many ideas so we have to analyze and do the agreement with your team members as soon as possible . The faster you can manage your doubts , you will manage those problems more quickly too . Selection After I learned about Design thinking tools , I learned a lot of tools other than I have learned before . It made me discover that there is a tool that I think It 's very close to my work and my life . When I studied about it which made me want to learn more , that is Learning Launch Tools . If we have doubts , we search for the truth by testing to confirm and prove that our idea is correct , or can it be done , and is it good ? The concept of this tool is , we will test and learn what happens after the experiment , whether it is successful or failed . It is that we launch into the unknown as the professor said in the video about this tool . Made me choose this tool because in my work is working with ideas that I do n’t know how it can be possible or not . This is a good thing to use this tool because it is fast and cheap experiment and because in my own daily life I always being afraid of things I do n't know , but I 'm not afraid to try it . This is the reason why I like this tool . For me , this Learning launch tool is able to support my challenge . Application I spend a lot of time - solving problems , whether it be work or life . I have always thought for the best results . And there are many situations that I have used this learning launch tool because it responds well to my challenges . In the work of my branch which I study . In addition to doing regular university projects , I also have a project that has to be done with a large organization . Causing me to go to the area to explore and find information . When everything is sufficient , my team would discuss what is our next step ? then what shall we do next ? Everything of work must always have steps . So we started by looking at the problem and understanding it as soon as possible . Including what we have to do as well When working as a team , it 's very normal to face many ideas , this is also a problem because we can not know which idea is the best solution ? We can not know whether those ideas are possible or not . So , what we need to do quickly is the test to see what ideas we should use and what we should improve . The idea is the same with assumption . It 's a using learning launch tool , something that makes everyone see the truth from something that everyone does n’t know including myself too . Everyone in the team will understand and accept the results of the test . Therefore will not use any bias because everything is clear so everyone will also see the evidence and reasons that can be used in projects . After we have selected the ideas from the experiment we will move on to the next step to improve it and make our work get better and efficient . For in my daily life , aside from work I always have problems with both nonsense and huge problems but I always see it as exciting things because it will cause me do n't get stressed out . And because I have challenged myself too so I often find ways to solve those problems . My management process is similar to work , which is I do everything step by step . In order to manage and edit each step . When I know what the problem is , I will look for a solution by thinking in many ways like the everyday person . It is normal for people that want to find a way to solve the problems and I am also one of them . But in reality , we do n't have enough time to try every idea that we can think of . Therefore , the next step I will look at the possibilities and test which ways will be the best solutions to solve the problem . I will take the alternative error that I have tried and it was not chosen , to adapt to the next situation . I tend to learn with mistakes . Because I always thought that it was good that we knew it ca n’t . This is to uses the learning launch tool in my daily life . Insight As I have learned about this tool , it made me understand the purpose better that when we test the various ideas , we do not only prove or confirm it but the mistakes or the results of those tests that can not be done , I can bring it to learn and bring further improvements to the next idea . It made me look at my thoughts wider than before by making me confident in my thoughts because even though I 'm not afraid to try but I 'm not sure if it 's done correctly and most people do it or not . That is how I believe that if I do n't try it , I do n't know it . But after learning this learning launch tool , it made me understand and be more confident . And also makes me want to continue to challenge myself . Approach From my learning this time , makes me want to be determined to do the challenge of myself happily and gather experience of those errors as much as possible . However , if I have a lot of ideas in my head but I ca n't explain it to other or team members understandable , how useful would it be ? So I will use ‘ visualization tools ’ to help people who are listening to my explanation or not understanding what I mean to get understand correctly . Because when we explain something verbally by without helping tools such as a presentation or some drawing to make it clearer , the imagination between the speaker and the audience while listening will different . So these tools will help them see and get the right same image and understanding . This is the reason why I think it is important to use these tools with my challenges . ### Output:

Story Telling Challenge & Selection Storytelling is a great tool that I try to use mostly for problem solving . I manage a team of fresh candidates who just started their carrier in IT . The team was quite struggling to adapt to the work environment and the efficiency of work was not so great . The team was not filling trackers on time and team need a solid push for every task they took up . I thought to use Story telling tool to fix the current situation of the team . I used many success stories of me and experience in previous project and how we all scaled up as a team and won a client and also made sure that everyone in team had to say one of their success story from their personal life to understand where each one stand . Application Firstly , I started to tell my story about how I started as a fresher and all the efforts I took to become a subject matter expert within a short span of time . I also added that how team work makes a great difference and how to seek help within team to complete daily tasks and importance of tracker updates . Then I requested each member of team to share their success story and that made me understand what drives the individual and also asked them to share what they liked in the team . They were also given a chance to share difficulties that they are facing in completing a task . I noticed that the individual was thrilled and proud to share their success story and understood that team needed motivation and chance to make something outstanding in the teamwork . Insight & Approach Guess what , there was a new enthusiasm within the team after this activity and we as a team bought couple of awards to encourage the outstanding work done by individual and this created a healthy competition among the team members , also developed a bonding and I could see the team now was seeking help from each other and the efficiency of work increased . We also received multiple client appreciation . Thanks to the tool and the Digital innovation !

DESIGN THINKING TOOL : STORYTELLING Challenge & Selection Storytelling is a simple method and a great tool when it comes to pass on knowledge in wide context . When a story is being narrated to the listener , many question arises in his / her thoughts that function indulging in greater depth of stories which in term leads to various innovative thoughts and get open up to new ideas to tackle the problem by summarizing the storytelling tool . I use storytelling tool to be frank with my colleagues , friends and family . It connects people of various background , faith , business etc . to me and my own story . Its like presenting some incognito step of your life in front of people whilst they too do the same . Each living or non living thing has a story behind and every story has some connection with emotions . That feeling of being heard to and feeling of listening to spice up your emotional connection with the cause has its own relatable logic that feeds upon a story . I open up my different stories in front of my elder ’s , younger , siblings , friends , family etc . Whatever feedback I get is enormously helpful in strengthening our bonds or the feedback I give is purposely helpful in their life to fill the empty void . Application Storytelling is the essential human activity . The harder the situation the more essential it is . Quoted by TIM O’’BRIEN . My fellows finds a counselor in me who give them optimistic advice and pessimistic guide about their life . From childhood I have been close to several people in life . Here I would like to mention about a friend who was once charged by my storytelling tool . She was newly introduced in our group in mid of term , quite and did n’t participated much in our conversation . Nobody knew the reason was tormented depression . Whenever a questions is asked to her she answered it being shy and awkward . One day I asked her to be at my place to play badminton which was our common interest . We played and went for a walk . I blew up several questions at her about her being so much stiff and secured about her emotions . She dared and narrated me her story of getting anxiety and panic attacks which haunted her lately , she also once tried to end up her life . Insight & Approach I assisted her that this generation has a tendency to getting this ideas piling up in head and resisted her by explaining the cons and after affects of this drastic DESIGN THINKING TOOL : STORYTELLING aspect also showed optimistic approach of coming future by telling her of a neighbor whose story was as same going through same condition dealing with anxiety and panic attacks . The story ended up filling the void space that she was not alone who is going through this uninvited situation . Now she is heading to live a normal life like other people in the society . This story took her out of the messy situation and indeed helped build her future with new perspective and a totally different view point towards anxiety and mental illness .

1 . Challenge : I am currently working as a management consultant in the manufacturing industry and we were confronted with the following challenge : A client is manufacturing complex machinery . She is relying on dozens of suppliers to provide the needed parts for the final assembly . During the introduction phase of the product , it is produced in very small quantities e.g. two machines per month . A main challenge of the manufacturer is to increase production . In order to do that not only the manufacturer has to increase its capacity but the whole supply chain , including all suppliers , have to increase their production as well . This complex process is called “ ramp - up ” . Even though the ramp - up is predefined and has been the part of negotiations long before the production start , some suppliers are not prepared for the increase and suffer performance deficits . My task was to manage a supplier recovery with the goal to enable the supplier to increase their production as expected , without the client to delay their ramp - up . We were a small team hired by the machinery manufacturer to work on - site at the supplier with a multifunctional team . They had different understandings of the problem , where of all hierarchies ( from Vice president of the program to production shift leader ) and knowledge levels ( from high level business view to deep production know - how ) . There was a lot of mistrust and even finger - pointing whose fault the current problem was . One of my first goals was to develop a common understanding , a sense of purpose and urgency for the project to ensure that we were all on the same page . I choose story - telling as the tool of choice . 2 . Selection : As the video by Bilal Vanegas ( Global Leadership Development Director , Mars , Inc. ) displays , story telling is the ability / tool to present “ a little bit of data ” , “ hard facts ” and “ recommendations ” in a compelling way . It is said by Bilal Vanegas , that leaders currently have only approximately 20 % of the time and attention of their personnel . Storytelling is a valid tool to increase attention and the level of engagement by a little bit longer . It can be used to create a common understanding of problems , sense of purpose and urgency . He describes it a way to form fellowship , with a common understanding of a topic and by that leading toward a common goal . I selected story - telling because of one goal I was trying to achieve . I wanted to have everybody of the recovery team on the same page , on my page ! And I did not have the time for long workshops to develop a mission statement and a project charter etc . Yes , those things are necessary , but not to be develop by everybody . Also I did not want to micromanage every team member . I wanted to make the recovery strategy accessible for everyone not only for the leaders that write it . The compelling story should create energy and reduces complexity and uncertainty by making topics digestible , simple and relatable . It should equally give meaning to both VP and line worker . 3 . Application : I choose to apply story telling first during the kick - off meeting of the project . This meeting had the purpose to “ swear ” in the “ fellowship ” on the mission of the recovery project . Normally one would present data what is going wrong and needs fixing . An organizational chart would be presented and in accordance to it the multifunctional team would be formed . Goals would be defined and actions to reach the goal . This time I choose a different approach . I choose to do the meeting as one big story to be told . I used the metaphor of a clockwork as a guiding principle throughout the meeting . Additionally I reduced the presentation to three slides . The first one showed a clockwork , the second one a mission statement and the third one showed the needed work packages . The guiding principle of the clockwork das introduced in two ways . First as a metaphor of the ramp - up process , e.g. all parts needed in the clockwork to work , therefore to need the production to work all parts are needed . The second meaning of the clockwork is in regards to the team . Meaning that to archive the desired outcome the team has to work hand in hand – like a clockwork . In addition I spend quite some time preparing the story and practiced telling it . Also story telling is characterized by letting room for reflection . So I used rhetorical questions to guide the audience ’s thoughts and making room for reflection . Also I addressed the topic of whose fault the current situation is directly . Lastly I did not pre- decide who will work on which work package but giving the team members the autonomy to pick their work packages themselves . This worked very good and everybody picked their area according to their expertise and interest . 4 . Insight : The most important insight I got is that one needs to practice storytelling and not just rehearsal each presentation but practice in general . Secondly you have to make the story personal and engaging . Thirdly creating moments of reflections is important and not very easy to do . Fourthly one have to be engaged to make the audience engaged . If you have not caught the fire you are not able set the audience on fire . 5 . Approach : I would apply the same to for a situation like this one , but I would outline the story better and until then I would defiantly would need to practice more story telling in general and right before the meeting in particular . Good story telling needs practice and only by applying it more often one gets good at it . Also coming from a business background I am comfortable with talking about facts and figures , I am not used to talking about emotions and making a situation compelling involves emotions . This needs to be practiced as well . Story telling is a great tool to reach out to people with different backgrounds and knowledge bases and set a common ground for a common mission . I would always choose story telling again for this kind of topic .

Challenge & Selection I have been charge of making strategies for the government relations and coping with the regulations . The most important thing when I take my task is that I have to fully understand the circumstances surrounding my company including the government , the national assembly , customers and shareholders . And then , I have to get to know what my company want to do for the business . After that I seeking the best way to persuade all stakeholders ( public officers , rule makers , customers and so on ) to be friendly with our business . It looks like simple . But the interesting every stakeholder have is so different and the business is not easy to explain normally . So I decide to use storytelling for helping my task , especially make all stakeholders understood and had friendly attitude for our business item . Application First of all , I figure out the main message which gets the stakeholders moved . ( The message is definitely allied with the business strategies of my company . ) I write down the key words on the paper first , then I arrange the words considering causality and time relation . The next thing is put some examples that the stakeholders are interested in . Proper examples are quite important when I explain the business plan and attract attention of stakeholders . Normally , people are concentrated on when they listen and read what they focus on . Whatever I say , if it seems like not to be related their business or life , no one gets interested in . For instance , when I make report about the regulation of marketing of the mobile telecommunication market , I prepare examples other countries regulation policies for public servants , positive effect of new regulation for customer for NGO officers . Last of all , I make full story for each stakeholders . The main idea is same but the stories explication is customized for listener . In the last stage of my task , I let my colleagues reviewed my stories from the angles of people who supposed to read and listen our opinion . Then I revise the stories after taking the feedback that my colleagues give . Recently , I make some reports applied storytelling I learned from this course . It is pretty much successful to compare with the normal report just writing down the message . Insight & Approach What I have learned from this course is making story which is interesting for listener is the truth value for every person who needs delivering their idea for others . It is simple thing and I think everybody knows , like the famous proverb . But the reason why I should use the tool , storytelling is people commonly make mistake that speaking and writing in his / her way . ( without considering of listener and reader . ) So I think , making interesting story and using for proper way is the key factor for success in business world and I will discover new way to deliver my though in effectively after this class .

So I decide to use storytelling for helping my task , especially make all stakeholders understood and had friendly attitude for our business item . Application First of all , I figure out the main message which gets the stakeholders moved . ( The message is definitely allied with the business strategies of my company . ) I write down the key words on the paper first , then I arrange the words considering causality and time relation . The next thing is put some examples that the stakeholders are interested in . Proper examples are quite important when I explain the business plan and attract attention of stakeholders . Normally , people are concentrated on when they listen and read what they focus on . Whatever I say , if it seems like not to be related their business or life , no one gets interested in . For instance , when I make report about the regulation of marketing of the mobile telecommunication market , I prepare examples other countries regulation policies for public servants , positive effect of new regulation for customer for NGO officers . Last of all , I make full story for each stakeholders . The main idea is same but the stories explication is customized for listener . In the last stage of my task , I let my colleagues reviewed my stories from the angles of people who supposed to read and listen our opinion . Then I revise the stories after taking the feedback that my colleagues give . Recently , I make some reports applied storytelling I learned from this course . It is pretty much successful to compare with the normal report just writing down the message . Insight & Approach What I have learned from this course is making story which is interesting for listener is the truth value for every person who needs delivering their idea for others . It is simple thing and I think everybody knows , like the famous proverb . But the reason why I should use the tool , storytelling is people commonly make mistake that speaking and writing in his / her way . ( without considering of listener and reader . ) So I think , making interesting story and using for proper way is the key factor for success in business world and I will discover new way to deliver my though in effectively after this class . ### Output:

Reflection : Mind Mapping , Idea Generation , and Leadership Challenge In my university , it is really common for student organizations and even professors in the academe to use lists in trying to conjure and articulate problems and solutions , typically listing and writing things down from left to right , and top to bottom . Being a sports science major , I am a very kinesthetic person , who prefers a lot of free space to maneuver around in . The problem that I have with this old , traditional way of listing is that it promotes very linear , and axial , 2 - dimensional thinking , instead of a planar , multidimensional perspective , thus inhibiting me from being able to map out all of the problems I have , form connections between them and view them all at a glance in oversight . This can limit the potential for idea generation and exploration because instead of a ground - up approach when exploring ideas , a top - down approach is used in place by leaders and managers , attempting to go deep into one idea , at the risk of myopia into and tunnel vision on one good idea , compromising quality of the other succeeding ideas to be tackled . Selection Being involved in leadership roles , I must possess trait - openness and creativity in order to innovate and explore new ideas . Thus the Mind Map is my Design Thinking tool of choice when helping a team in laying their groundwork , and in articulating their observations and ideas to figure out their direction . Application I once had a really important whole day , semester planning meeting with the executive board members of my organization , wherein we had to lay down the foundation for a 5 - month roadmap for our organization and its respective sub - teams which we were in charge of . The big problem was that in the year prior to our term , the turnover of past leaders to us was insufficient and failed to hand over to us the direction our organization was supposed to be going in . Given this we had to pick up whatever was left of the existing pieces and build a new direction from scratch to fit our context . I decided to speak up and tell them that making a list , and thinking ‘ vertically ’ in the traditional sense was not the best way to facilitate this brainstorming session for our new foundation , but instead asked them to procure a massive whiteboard , some markers , and post - it notes to stick onto . In the middle of the map was the name of our organization , and the next level of ‘ nodes ’ would be our teams . We each took turns connecting to our team ’s node all the questions , concerns and the state of ‘ what is ’ that existed for each of our own teams off the top off our heads . After each of us had their turn for their team , articulating what was and what is , we all took a moment to step back and view the parts of the map we each laid out , similar to “ touring an art gallery . ” After this , came the moment of insight and connection , Using our sticky notes which were color coded per person , we each stuck personal insights on the paths on the map that were n’t ours so as to give insight and feedback on these articulated concerns . What resulted was the synergy of team leaders and diverse input which gave clearer direction and a unified set of criteria for the whole organization to then set their goals around , all of which were due to building on the foundation of the questions of others . Insight Before the actual mind mapping process , one thing I learned from utilizing this tool was the importance of an adequate , wide open space , to create a conducive environment before even filling in the groundwork for your foundation and writing anything down . Making sure we had a big , blank canvas upon which to lay and map out our foundational ideas for the semester onto was important for priming us to create the most fruitful mind map possible . When we started to do mind mapping , we were able to articulate our thoughts and mirror our ideas to other team members , allowing them to think abstractly because of the spatial aspect of mind mapping . Given the context that this team was the executive board of a management consulting organization , it was of utmost importance that our own foundation was strong , as well as the practices and systems we were to implement before we gave consultation services to other teams and businesses . Approach Prior to this course , I never deliberately thought about mind mapping or how to optimize the way mind mapping sessions are done . I had only read about them in some psychology books and used them impromptu or when it crosses my mind in the moment . Being able to learn about terms such as Clusters , Design Criteria etc . allows me to facilitate a guided and structured step - by - step approach to the next opportunity on mind mapping I ’ll have in similar foundation setting meetings . In the coming weeks I also have a lot of new meetings for the year with junior teams wherein they will conduct goal setting , and vision articulation . Introducing the mind map to these junior members will help them think multidimensionally , and through a design thinking - oriented approach , to help them see what is and what if . It will also help them better articulate where they stand and to be given equal respect and attention by each member in their teams .

Reflection – Learning Launch Challenge I work with an Oil & Gas company in the Corporate strategy department and responsible for conceptualizing and implementing digital initiatives across different business units ( Retail , LPG , Lubricants , Aviation , I&C , Gas ) across the organization . Currently our team working with our Retail business unit , which caters to fuels ( Motorspirit , Diesel , CNG ) requirements of customers through Fuels and Gas station , to improve customer experience at our fuel stations . We identified 4 - 5 digital initiatives under digital transformation exercise of Retail BU . One of the initiatives we wanted to implement was Prepay before fuel options wherein the customer will pay to our company in advance through online payment options like Netbanking , UPI etc . We identified 6 key features under this initiatives and confident that the solution will like and use by customers . However , basis my learning from this course , I suggested to test the key assumptions and test the different elements of the solution before investing into the technology . Selection As there were multiple key elements of Prepayment solution , it was important to test the customer desirability and key assumptions before developing the full solutions . We selected “ Learning Launch Tool ” as it is important to conduct small experiments and test our idea and prototype before designing the final solution . Application For our first learning launch , we decided to do “ Concept testing ” with 6 identified key elements under prepayment solution to assess desirability of solution with customers . We use card categorization and sorting methodology to understand customer desirability ( and the reason ) for each 6 identified key features . We identified 20 people across 3 segments ( segment cuts are basis age groups , genders & fueling behaviors ) and interviewed them for concept testing . Basis positive customer feedback during concept testing , we decided to do second learning launch by conducting “ functional prototype testing ” with our customers at fuel stations . We identified 2 fuel stations in two different geography ( one in urban city and one in rural area ) to test the solution with customers . We designed to conduct 3 days functional prototype testing in each location covering all 6 identified key features . We developed a small application to test the prototype and tested with 300 customers in each location capturing their feedback . Insight By applying the learning launch tool , our team tested the desirability of key features with customers along with key assumptions . Although , we thought that all the 6 key features of the Prepayment solutions was liked by the users , after completing functional prototype testing , the actual results reveal that 4 out of 6 features liked by users . Also , the key assumption was that customers are comfortable in doing Prepayment for fuel before coming to the fuel stations , but prototype testing revealed that customers are much more comfortable to Prepay for fuel at the fuel stations than prepay before visiting the fuel stations . The insights were shared with Retail BU and the team is incorporating the insights for final product design . Approach After seeing the result from our functional prototype testing and value of “ Learning Launch Tool ” , our team has decided to use the “ Learning Launch Tool ” in our digital initiatives to test the customer desirability and key assumptions and incorporate the insights into final product design . Our team has realized the importance of doing quick prototyping and testing the customer desirability and key assumption before implementing the final solution .

Storytelling Challenge & Selection Because of the current Covid situation we had to temporarily shut down our family restaurant . So the Challenge has been to find an innovative way to work around it still keeping afloat and not losing customers . Using design thinking and its various concepts there were many aspects to take into consideration to start this as doing this from home was not the same . Without the industrial grade equipment that the restaurant has . And working from a small 4 burner stove . Application My family and I will start off small for now as also due to government restrictions there s not a great deal that can be done . So using everyone 's skill sets we have opened up a little mom and pop home delivery service now . As well as starting making homemade sauces that was never something we used to do before it all came on as part of the design thinking visualization process . Thank you :) We have plans to expand our menu as right now we started small with just a few main dishes to see how the demand would be . It 's been a month so far and its doing awesome so according to the plan we are planning to add one item to the menu every 2 weeks and see how it goes from there . Right now we are only delivering in the local area again if all goes well fingers cross hopefully that will expand too . Insight & Approach Before only 2 family members were involved with the restaurant now all the family is part of this new venture and we have a lot of family bonding . One member is part of the social media / advertising department one is our delivery man . Since its summer time nonno is busy tending to the garden so we can have fresh produce . So where a few months ago we thought it was a scary situation we are seeing a light and things are looking a lot brighter . And the possibilities seem endless . :)

Liliana Clark is a previous sedentary individual who have undergone a series of aerobic training exercise that result in a significant increase in her maximum oxygen volumetric intake : 38 ml / kg / min to a whopping 52 ml / kg/ min over the course of six months . This response discusses and analyzes her adaption in all parts of her body . At the onset of her training program , her neural system prepares itself for initial adaption , including better oxygen delivery mechanism and optimized localized fuel generation . As a perviously sedentary and untrained individual , she is expected to perform with relatively low intensity and duration until the initial neural adaption sets the stage for the next phase . When Liliana undergoes exercise on a regular basis , the overloading principle enables all parts of her body to change accordingly depending on exercise intensity and duration . At first , her skeletal muscle group sees an increase in the amount of Type I variant , which opens door to better oxygen delivery and utilization as aerobic exercise goes . In addition , Type I muscle consumes fat as its primary energy source . This enables Liliana to lose weight in a healthy and sustainable manner . Furthermore , her skeletal muscles experience a drastic upsurge in the amount of mitochondria that improve her ability to generate energy from macronutrients to her daily needs . In other words , her arteriovenous oxygen difference increases due to the amount of oxygen needed to synthesize ATP with fat as she exercises . Aside from the skeletal muscle , cardiac muscle reaps the benefits of increased mitochondria count as well . This in turn makes each pump , from your heart , more forceful in terms of its stroke volume . This effectively decreases your resting heart rate in the long run . The increase in VO2 intake can be explained by the Fick equation , which states the maximum VO2 is the multiplication between cardiac output and arteriovenous oxygen difference . When Liliana persists her aerobic trainings , a natural improvement in her oxygen absorbability and utilization takes course alongside her stroke volume . And , this , increases Liliana ’s VO2 max .

I should not had to prepare the perfect solutions . 24hours Free cooling analysis report(2019.4.18 ) Enthalpy(kj / kg ) Outdoor temp and damper open rate Outdoor enthalpy Indoor enthalpy Return temperature Damper open rate Damper opened 100 % when outdoor enthalpy was higher than indoor enthalpy which can cause energy loss Visualization Image sample for showing the problem ### Output:

Change in culture with Design Thinking CHALLENGE : I started working as a design thinking person in a startup company . My job is to design prototypes , ideate how the product can be useful to the people and how we can them . I somehow managed all the team members to participate in the design thinking process . But , we had to complete the process within 30 days . I and my team are taking huge inputs from users and done enormous reasearch about the product . But , the investors and core team are feeling problematic about this process . So , I designed a schedule which will help all the team members to participate in the design thinking process actively . SELECTION : Our team had gone through many design thinking tools out there in the market . Some of them are ideo tools , axure rp prototyping tool . Ideo tools helped us to easily design innovative designs which are a good fit for team participation . Axure rp tools really helped to design good prototypes for our product . APPLICATION : Client education and selling our value has always been a part of the design service tool kit . To make this easier industry - wide maybe we should empathize with people ’s needs , observe them in action , collaborate , come up with working theories , test them , track results over time , and refine , and then refine again . We started planning on how can changes be applied to the product to get demanding influence among users . We approached many users and asked them many question about the product and how they feel about the product etc . Later we made an analysis on usability and conducted a brainstorming session regarding analysis results . Then we went through ideation step , through which we got many woth ideas from team . INSIGHT : By applying all design thinking steps , our team got a strong feeling that the product is ready to crawl the market . Results made by analysis done by our team became a crucial part of the product success . We included designing thinking stratagies in our daily workflow and suggested it to many other clients . Also , the stakeholders and core team are satisfied with the results obtained by the process . They agreed to incorporate the design thinking process in futhur projects also . APPROACH : My team gone through all the design thinking process . We used several design thinking tools which made a productive change in our culture As previously mentioned , our team made a good analysis about the product we want to review the analytics gained from the first launch of the product . This analysis will helps us to improve product in the future . We keeps track of all experiences and will continue to do user research on the product Regards Haji Mushtaq

Reflection - Visualisation Challenge and selection On a recent project , I was asked to work with a community who lived in a significantly biodiverse area in South Africa . It was assumed that the community would be happy to take on the mantle of custodian of the environment , and take measures to protect and conserve it . However , it soon became apparent that this was not the approach being taken by the community , and the area was under severe environmental threat . The local municipality sought to engage with community members , in such a way that members would see the benefit of becoming agents of natural resource management , and conservation . Although an anthropologist by profession , it is my background as a graphic designer that has enabled me to help communities visualise their way into a new way of living . Using various visualisation techniques has helped me on many occasions to breach the language barrier that is so prevalent in South Africa , which has 11 official languages . By using visualisation techniques , such as Photovoice , we are able to better understand the current context of participants , their thoughts and opinions , as well as their hopes for the future , in a way that pure dialogue would never enable . Due to the education system in rural South Africa , many people are not encouraged to think critically , and are certainly not encouraged to be creative . Visualisation helps them to access creativity , and use parts of the brain that have grown dormant . Application Two visualisation tools were chosen for this project . The first was Photovoice . Volunteers were selected from the community , and attended an orientation , which described the purpose and intention of the project . Volunteers then attended a basic photography workshop , and were given disposable cameras to take home with them . They were asked to take photos that specifically demonstrated how their environment was under threat , and could include issues such as soil erosion , waste disposal , water wastage , etc . After two weeks , cameras were collected , photos printed and a workshop held with volunteers . It was during this phase that challenges arose . Firstly , some cameras were not returned ; being the first and only device of its kind in the household , meant that it grew legs and went off with the wrong person ( never to return ) . Secondly , some volunteers were threatened as they were perceived to be “ spying on ” or invading the privacy of others . Due to recent xenophobic attacks in the area , people had become understandably sensitive . During the workshop process , each volunteer took their photos and wrote a short narrative about why they thought each photo demonstrated environmental degradation . The volunteers presented their photos to the group and stuck the photos on a large whiteboard . Once all the photos were up , the participants were asked to group the photos into themes , and then rank the groupings from mild to severe . This synthesis of information helped to weed out the least problematic issues , and focus on the main challenges . The second visualisation tool was the creation of a vision board . The group was given a stack of magazines and asked to create a vision board of the type of community they aspired to live in , using pictures from the magazines . Two posters were then created , one of the current situation ( what is ) , and one of their aspiration community ( what if ) , and this was shared in a community workshop to develop a community action plan , that the majority agreed upon . Insight As always , the findings of the project were a surprise to both the implementers and the participants . On the one hand , community members shared that a lack of service delivery by the municipality in the area , encouraged the degradation of the environment . Rubbish was not collected regularly , and clearance of septic tanks were often left too long . On the other hand , overgrazing of cattle had led to soil erosion , and vandalism of school properties ( such as science labs ) had adversely affected school children . Community members , through the visual process , were able to identify their own actions that led to degradation , but had also found a way to demonstrate to the municipality that lack of municipal planning and delivery , had also contributed to the problem . Thus , an opportunity for dialogue between the two was opened up , in their now mutual aspirations to improve the area . Approach In hindsight , more time would have been spent considering the socio - economic factors that might have arisen and impacted negatively on the project . Issues such as distrust within the community , and “ borrowing ” of goods perceived as now belonging to the family , certainly meant less data being gathered . Other issues , such as the patriarchal hierarchy within the community , meant less women spoke out in front of men , and perhaps next time , these two groups would be separated , to obtain a more representative viewpoint .

Reflection – Mind Mapping Challenge Mind Mapping lies at the very core of any design process . I being a college student and from computer science background , always remain surrounded by some or the other projects . My projects basically include development of various software and mobile applications for the people . I personally like to take up projects that are customer- centric i.e. solving customer problems based on their requirements . Customer - centric projects give you the feeling of satisfaction as it focuses on the people ’s need and wants and not on the profits gained due to the release of a particular software or application . What I do is first send online survey forms which include various questions regarding the project to the people I know and tell them to spread it to their connections also which provides me with an insight about the peoples ’ requirements . From the survey , a large amount of raw data is collected which is hard to process . For this , I require some tool to capture , store and organize ideas in structured manner which makes it easy for me to follow and proceed further step by step . Selection I use Mind Mapping approach to put up innovative ideas on a mind map generated from the data gathered earlier . Mind map has free flow of ideas without any boundaries or restrictions . Mind mapping is a clear representation of “ What is ? ” without thinking of “ What if ? ” . So , mind mapping is clearly a next step after visualization of various possibilities . Application I start building a simple mind map which is either in a tree or spider structure . I initially decide the central idea or the central purpose of making this project which guides other ideas or sub - ideas to land safe with the central theme of the project . The whole project works with respect to the central idea . To make this mind map , I use software like ‘ Microsoft Visio ’ or a web application such as ‘ Lucidchart ’ which involves rapid development of such mind maps . I remember , our college has taught us design engineering subject for around 2 years which consisted of various design projects approached with different design tools . Even they told us that : “ Design thinking is the ladder to innovation . ” What we were taught was that : “ Got an idea ? Make a mind map . ” During the whole course we made various design engineering canvases like AEIOU Summary Canvas , Empathy Canvas , Ideation Canvas , and Product Development Canvas . Then we also learnt to make various UML Diagrams or System Diagrams for software development . In which we made Use Case Diagram , Activity Diagram , Class Diagram , Data Flow Diagram , Entity - Relationship Diagram , Sequence Diagram , State Diagram , etc . Considering the things , I ’d learnt as resources , what I do is make a simple mind map with the whole set of ideas to be implemented within a particular project and then make various above listed diagrams and canvases to expand those ideas and generate a clearer picture of the process . Most of the processes that are to be implemented in my projects are algorithms which involves making of various flowcharts which are also a kind of mind maps . Insight By applying the Mind Mapping tool , I identified that it gives you the power to organize the ideas in a way you want them to get executed . It definitely removes all the confusion and complexities related to your project and gives you a better and clearer picture to begin your project with . In software development , this phase is called “ Analysis and Design Phase ” where different data is collected then different patterns are generated by doing analysis on the collected raw data . Mind mapping is definitely a pivotal point in design thinking process as it establishes criteria for “ What if ? ” phase . The insights gained from this course helped me broaden my design skills . With the removal of complexities , Mind Mapping tool smoothens the design process with the help of various design tools . It also opens a broad spectrum of possibilities for design thinkers . Approach Since I discovered that Mind mapping tool help designers picturize the whole idea of the project in one single mind map , next time when I take up any project “ Mind Mapping ” would be the key criteria that has to be satisfied in any of the cases possible . This course will help me in developing innovative ideas and make them happen with design thinking process at the heart . Now , I have to believe that design thinking drives innovation .

For this , I require some tool to capture , store and organize ideas in structured manner which makes it easy for me to follow and proceed further step by step . Selection I use Mind Mapping approach to put up innovative ideas on a mind map generated from the data gathered earlier . Mind map has free flow of ideas without any boundaries or restrictions . Mind mapping is a clear representation of “ What is ? ” without thinking of “ What if ? ” . So , mind mapping is clearly a next step after visualization of various possibilities . Application I start building a simple mind map which is either in a tree or spider structure . I initially decide the central idea or the central purpose of making this project which guides other ideas or sub - ideas to land safe with the central theme of the project . The whole project works with respect to the central idea . To make this mind map , I use software like ‘ Microsoft Visio ’ or a web application such as ‘ Lucidchart ’ which involves rapid development of such mind maps . I remember , our college has taught us design engineering subject for around 2 years which consisted of various design projects approached with different design tools . Even they told us that : “ Design thinking is the ladder to innovation . ” What we were taught was that : “ Got an idea ? Make a mind map . ” During the whole course we made various design engineering canvases like AEIOU Summary Canvas , Empathy Canvas , Ideation Canvas , and Product Development Canvas . Then we also learnt to make various UML Diagrams or System Diagrams for software development . In which we made Use Case Diagram , Activity Diagram , Class Diagram , Data Flow Diagram , Entity - Relationship Diagram , Sequence Diagram , State Diagram , etc . Considering the things , I ’d learnt as resources , what I do is make a simple mind map with the whole set of ideas to be implemented within a particular project and then make various above listed diagrams and canvases to expand those ideas and generate a clearer picture of the process . Most of the processes that are to be implemented in my projects are algorithms which involves making of various flowcharts which are also a kind of mind maps . Insight By applying the Mind Mapping tool , I identified that it gives you the power to organize the ideas in a way you want them to get executed . It definitely removes all the confusion and complexities related to your project and gives you a better and clearer picture to begin your project with . In software development , this phase is called “ Analysis and Design Phase ” where different data is collected then different patterns are generated by doing analysis on the collected raw data . Mind mapping is definitely a pivotal point in design thinking process as it establishes criteria for “ What if ? ” phase . The insights gained from this course helped me broaden my design skills . With the removal of complexities , Mind Mapping tool smoothens the design process with the help of various design tools . It also opens a broad spectrum of possibilities for design thinkers . Approach Since I discovered that Mind mapping tool help designers picturize the whole idea of the project in one single mind map , next time when I take up any project “ Mind Mapping ” would be the key criteria that has to be satisfied in any of the cases possible . This course will help me in developing innovative ideas and make them happen with design thinking process at the heart . Now , I have to believe that design thinking drives innovation . ### Output:

Reflection- Visualization Tool Challenge The challenge is to think of a design of a cellphone charger that is easy to use , easy to carry , can charge safely and can be use anywhere you wanted even if there is no outlet for charging . Nowadays , the production of mobile phones has extremely increasing day - by - day , as well as different kinds of portable charger like power banks that is easy to use , handy and can charge safely . But before we can use the power banks , we need to first full charge it to an AC source , it is actually a back - up power device when you are traveling . In line with this , the use of renewable energy is starting to be a big trend linked in the world of technology . Renewable energy like solar energy , wind energy , hydropower etc . Therefore , our team wanted to design a portable charger that is based on renewable energy source . It is an energy harvester using an electromagnetic induction as a renewable source and will be applicable for mobile phone charging . No need for AC source charging , to produce an energy , you only need to shake it . Selection Visualization tool , as our team selected for the challenge , is a way that we can visualize what will be the future actual image of the design project . We can imagine how it works and who will use it regularly . Visualization tool as a process of exercising your mind to more complex and more challenging design thinking application . If you want to visualize more what we will be doing and why we chose this visualization tool as the means to our challenge , you can watch a video related to our shake charger which is the shake flashlight . It is when Michael Faraday discovered that by passing a magnet through a coil of wire , a small electrical current is created . And for that , it is the same thing that when the person shake flashlight . Here is the link to the video . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiyaYII7ROA Application At the beginning of our brainstorming , visualization tool is already applied . Every ideas we formed , visualization is always there and it helps a lot because when we visualize ideas we also think of ‘ is it really possible ? Is it what the costumer wanted ? Is it really going to work ? ’ , and if all of that questions come to our mind does not even answer , we did not choose it . Visualization tool for me is always a part of decision making . Before you act , you will think first then decide . And that ’s what happen , we apply the visualization tool during our brainstorming and then agree on what is best . Visualization has always have a big part in forming , generating and creating new ideas . It will always be effective to what is your idea when you are thinking about it positively and encouraging . It will be ineffective when you do not focus on what is it that you want , then you will be discourage to think about it . Insights Understanding what visualization tool can offer will play a big role in decision making . Wise decision making as a part of design thinking will aid the thirst of technology in innovation . When you visualize , you are curious . You are eager to unfold something in that thing you create in your mind . You are learning . And that ’s the reason why we decided to use visualization tool . It will provide a clear picture / vision of what our selected challenge . And from that , we will be motivated every single step we make thinking that there is a clearer view of our project . Regarding design thinking , as what Chuck Arroyo of Global Leadership Development Director , Mars , Inc. said , that ‘ Design thinking is applied clarifying a challenge , ideation , prototyping to the how we work as oppose to just what we do . ’ We do not focus only on what we do but think of how we work . Concentrate on visualizing how the idea / challenge we selected will work . Approach I might use the same tool , because I believe that analyzing the challenge starts by first visualizing it . You can identify what problems you encountered every time you finish something , then by visualization tool , you will figure out again , what you need to do next . You can fail to recall a story , but by knowing how to visualize it , you can continue to work for it . You do n’t need to always have a right turn , instead , a clearer view will help .

Storytelling By : Savita Narayn Challenge & Selection The tool that I chose is “ Storytelling ” . I work with vulnerable populations , women and young girls who have been sexually abused , raped and molested . Many of them suffer from mental trauma and could n’t get over a certain situation for a long time , which leads to depression , suicidal thoughts and sometimes even suicide . . I spend a lot of time “ opening them up ” and finding ways to inspire them to improve their circumstances , by giving them courage and motivation . When I work with women , we share stories for different situations and reasons . Most of the time because they are scared of society being biased against them and will declare the victim as criminal . Sometimes because they lack family support and ultimately everyone just blames them for their clothing and personality . When I talk to them , it makes them really happy and relief to share stories of their lives and connect with me . It overwhelms them as they never found anyone who would understand them and support then rather than blaming them . With my survivor clients , I share stories of my life as well to make them realise that they are not alone , standing in that situation and we all support and understand them . To make the realise that they are not “ victims ” but “ fighters ” . I use this information to develop different strategies to try and find ways that works for them to gain more independence , self confidence in the areas they find lacking in their lives . Application I have a story about using storytelling . In a counselling session in a school , I was trying to explain people the importance of them and self confidence in life and how each person is unique and beautiful and addressing their individual needs first and foremost . The speech also focused on anti - bullying and self- protection . I was also explaining how sometimes addressing the needs of one individual can impact everyone for the better , even if it seems extreme or out of the ordinary . I also shared stories of me motivating and inspiring women who had suffered from rape and abuse . . Everyone was doing really well except for one girl whose stress was making her very emotionally volatile . I could tell she needed attention . In my mind I decided I needed to talk to her and she would be my Princess for an hour . I poured her a cup of chai and sat down with her and let her talk . It turned out that she has been sexually abused by her uncle , and she recently came out to her mother about it . She was terrified and at first because her mother blamed her and did n’t understand her , but gradually her mother understood her point and supported her . Me mentioning about sexual abuse and rape just brought back all the bad memories to her which was overwhelming and emotional for her . Insight & Approach Well , that was an eye opener . The girl was terrified and was in trauma at first , but now she is calm and doing very well . Clearly it was time for me to open up with my story . I told her how traumatized I was when my private tutor started touching me inappropriately and how it affected my studies because I never talked or opened up about it to anyone . By noting that how she and I both have faced similar situations and that she was not alone . I later inspired her and gave her motivation for being a fighter . This worked really well . She really needed individual attention for that brief time , and she ended up with that and a true support . She calmed down . Peace reigned again in our little heart to heart conversation room . So I told this story to the other women facing similar situation , and I think it had a big impact on people there . Sometimes a little story can do a lot of good . This course made me see this as a tool in a new way . Now I can prepare ahead and think of stories that will assist me in presenting my ideas and best illuminate them .

Mind Mapping as a tool for better learning Challenge At University I took a course entitled " International Accounting " . Soon , I found myself in a jumble of books , essays , analyzes and other accounting materials . On the one hand , I was overwhelmed , even more surprised by the sheer volume of fact , figures and information . On the other hand , it seemed impossible to draw connections between the individual components of the subject . Worst of all : I did not know where to start . By chance , I then had insight into the personal documents of a fellow student . And there I saw it for the first time : A cheery combination of boxes that took a whole A3 sheet . Later , I would find that it was the first mind map of my life . I understood it as something which connects at first glance the different branches of the subject . Full of question marks in my head , I went straight to the author of this particular Mind Map , a fellow student of mine . I wanted to know why he made this structure out of branches , boxes and lines . The reasons he gave me were the same issues I was struggling with to penetrate the subject : He , too , was struggling with the tricky contexts and became aware of the use of a Mind Map as a tool in the search for a better solution and a better understanding . Selection Since that day , I use Mind Maps whenever contents of complex subjects block my view on the essentials . What I would like to do in the following is to describe how I experienced the development and creation of my first Mind Map . First of all , let me briefly address the question that I asked myself back then : what is a Mind Map ? While researching I found some interesting facts about us humans . The human brain has left and right halves . Recent research shows that both halves of the brain each perceive different functions . For most of us , the left brain is responsible for rational thinking , logic , language , numbers , linearity , and analysis , while the right half controls predominantly space perception , imagination , color , rhythm , shape , pattern recognition , and dimensionality . Based on this insight , the Englishman Tony Buzan marketed the mind - map technique , through which both halves of the brain should be addressed . By using both brain regions synergy effects are used , which significantly improve the mental performance . In order to do justice to this brain function , it is recommended that information be presented non - linearly in lists or text , but in a manner that makes the recordings unique , in the truest sense Meaning of the word makes strange picture . It deliberately dispenses with superfluous filler words and instead uses well - chosen key words that suffice for a later memory of the content and at the same time lead to an inner examination of the topic to be recorded . Application For my first Mind Map , I focused on the structure of the University module . I 've decided to put my thoughts on an A4 - format , but it 's just as possible to do it on a larger or smaller sheet , or even a black- or whiteboard . The paper I then used in landscape format . In the middle of the page you can put the most memorable image , which represents the main theme to be treated . In my case it was as clear and simple as “ International Accounting ” . But since a picture says more than 1,000 words I later changed this words on my Mind Map into some self - painted , vivid pictures . Starting from the central image of mine I drew a line for each deeper thought or sub - point . Deeper thoughts in my case were buzzwords as cash flow statement , property , deferred taxes , financial instruments , leasing , provisions , business combinations , intangible assets and goodwill , revenue recognition and so on . On these lines , the individual keywords are written to the subitems . I figured , these words should be in block letters to increase the readability and memorization of the Mind Map . Works for me ! The lines drawn in turn can lead to lines on which the main ideas are further subdivided . Others can go out of these secondary lines , etc . Additionally I use different colors to increase clarity . At the same time , for example , related thoughts and ideas can be easily clarified by using the same color . Insight & Approach Well , by applying a Mind Map to this complicated , extensive subject , I was able to penetrate the material within a very short time and , more importantly , remember it . I also understood that the Mind Map principle can be applied as a tool for teamwork by creating a map together . With our common Mind Map , my friend and I were able to control each other . The Mind Map gave us the certainty to find what we have learned in our inner eye at all times . This design thinking course here , gave me a new understanding of the broad field of application of the Mind Mapping tool . By applying it more often in daily life situations , especially in team meetings , I feel like results can be produced much faster . It almost feels as if the heavy traffic on a busy highway after the construction - related traffic jam can finally flow freely again . I suggest you do not worry too much when creating a Mind Map . Instead , you should just try to let your thoughts fly free and trust in the creativity in you .

Challenge I am in an industrial design college and we have a class of project of product . The major challenge for the group and for me is to understand each others ideas and dynamics and then reconcile our ideas to form our initial stages of the project , after we ’ve already collected data about the given theme . Even though all of us , seven , are in the same course , we come from different backgrounds and usually have very contrasting ideas . Here I learned that us having different mindsets is actually very good , but in practice , it ’s very hard to find a way to make things understood and we end up having a lot of discussions , ending up with no solutions and delaying the project , which usually has a month to be completed . We ’re looking for making this process more efficient , making the workflow and group dynamic better and enhancing our creativity . Selection Since our problem is in the idea generation state , the problem - solver tool incremented was mind mapping . Mind mapping is a tool that helps generating and choosing ideas through identifying patterns in a large gathered quantity of information , as well as putting them in a way that ’s easy to visualize and understand , instigating creativity . Application As a first stage of the mind mapping , I proposed a certain structure to it . We had a memory board with all data -research and brainstormed ideas about the materials , functioning , and design of the product , target customers , financial and other resources . Then we ’ll have another board with a basic settled structure and blank space to put annotations or more optional branches . The first circles will be for the data categories sorted by color and as it branches there will be stored information in an organized way . The activity proposed will be done in steps : First step : A person is going to the first board taking a piece of information . Second step : We will have a brief conversation of it and decide how to move on . 3 . Based on the decision , it will be added into the mapping board in it ’s respective place or be discarded . The focus of the activity and the board display is making the analysis , selection and placing of data more organized and fast . This way we ’ll have better communication and visualization of the ongoing project . Exemple of mind mapping arrangement that I created for this process : Insight By applying this tool our team learned the importance of an intuitive display of organized ideas . It gave us freedom to think and analyse things in a different way , bringing innovations to the design of the product based on data that we have n't had the right approach before . It helped to keep our communication smooth and inspiring , not only providing creativity and organization for the project but for our discussions on it . Additionally , we became faster and were able to understand our priorities and group dynamic . Approach I learned that visualization and mind mapping come together in projects like this and while mind mapping was the right tool for us at that moment in the project , we had problems that came from before this stage and had to do with the lack of visualization of unprocessed design ideas and data , so in future projects we ’ll install a better system previous to mind mapping . But even then , the mind map not only worked as it helped fix this minor problem we had by giving us a better data scope and approach to work with . That was a very helpful tool that we ’ll intend to use in more projects , keeping in mind the insights gained .

The major challenge for the group and for me is to understand each others ideas and dynamics and then reconcile our ideas to form our initial stages of the project , after we ’ve already collected data about the given theme . Even though all of us , seven , are in the same course , we come from different backgrounds and usually have very contrasting ideas . Here I learned that us having different mindsets is actually very good , but in practice , it ’s very hard to find a way to make things understood and we end up having a lot of discussions , ending up with no solutions and delaying the project , which usually has a month to be completed . We ’re looking for making this process more efficient , making the workflow and group dynamic better and enhancing our creativity . Selection Since our problem is in the idea generation state , the problem - solver tool incremented was mind mapping . Mind mapping is a tool that helps generating and choosing ideas through identifying patterns in a large gathered quantity of information , as well as putting them in a way that ’s easy to visualize and understand , instigating creativity . Application As a first stage of the mind mapping , I proposed a certain structure to it . We had a memory board with all data -research and brainstormed ideas about the materials , functioning , and design of the product , target customers , financial and other resources . Then we ’ll have another board with a basic settled structure and blank space to put annotations or more optional branches . The first circles will be for the data categories sorted by color and as it branches there will be stored information in an organized way . The activity proposed will be done in steps : First step : A person is going to the first board taking a piece of information .

Coursera : Design Thinking for Innovation : Learning Launch Tool Challenge : I 'm part of a Performance Management team and I work towards analysing Customer Satisfaction ( CSAT ) trends in the Call Centre space . The challenge I ’m faced with is that CSAT for a voice function ( approx . 250 heads ) is much lower than the goal and needs improvement . We need to understand what is bringing down the function CSAT performance and take corrective measures to increase the overall CSAT for the function so they meet the goal . Selection : I 've decided to use the Learning Launch tool ; the key here is to do experiments that are cheap and fast . I pick a team of 3 individuals viz . a process lead from another function , a specialist from the function and a member from the Customer experience team . The team I ’ve selected is diverse and small as my cognitive blindness will be different from the others and vice versa . Also , I felt that there is a need to have a sceptic within the team to protect ourselves from confirmation bias . Application : We begin by coming together and brainstorm on the reasons why we are facing the specified challenge with each individual getting his / her freedom of speech . Parallelly we have the MIS team gather customer data . Post the brainstorm sessions and the data we gathered , we make a list of assumptions that would help us experiment . We would deliberate if assumptions are not likely to be true , we would change the idea or Trash can and move on further . We select 2 teams ( 25 heads ) as our population who would be part of the experiment . We analysed that majority of the customer dissatisfaction calls were when calls were cold transferred ( directly transfer a call to another specialist without any knowledge transfer between the specialists ) to another function . It was decided that the 25 specialist that were selected would be trained to connect and introduce the customer to the specialist of the other function with appropriate knowledge transfer between them . Insight : We learnt that there was an increase in customer satisfaction scores for the analyst that were part of the experiment . The human touch made the difference when the specialist connected and introduced the customer to his colleague . The CSAT scores had seen an improvement of 10 % to the baseline for those specialists . This also positively impacted the overall morale of the team . Approach : Since the experiment was successful on the 25 specialists , the idea is to roll it out to the entire function . We decide to have the training in batches of 25 instead of the entire function so that there is no impact to service levels . The roll out of the new process will be completed within a period of 2 weeks . With the improvement of CSAT scores seen within the experiment , we would estimate that the overall function would begin meeting its CSAT goal 3 months from the time every specialist is onboarded with the new process . The assumptions gathered in the brainstorming sessions which were not likely to be true were tabled for possible latter use .

Example Reflection – Learning Launch Challenge I am the creator of an instagram page of the sale of clothing for original brands such as nike , adidas , reebok , the north face , etc . My challenge is to reach the largest number of buyers , as I think it is a good purchase opportunity since the garments are selected in the best conditions for use . The scope of the project is still small , it is only local but it is intended to reach more interested parties , I would like to know what people in the clothing bazaars are looking for , what prices are considerable and of course the budget of the market segment to whom I am addressing . Selection I have tried to survey the tastes of the clients , the way of sale and the products of their interest through surveys on instagram stories , the surveys have had little participation and little success in understanding my clients . Application Upon receiving messages from interested people and checking the interactions on the page , I was able to realize that the market segment varies in age but in economic terms it is very general . Insight People of all ages are interested in my products but the decision to consume them depends a lot on the price , since apparently the price is high for what they are looking for and do not take into account the quality that is offered to them . Approach It will seek to adapt prices to the basic needs of the client and not as a luxury , without lowering the quality of the products simply by looking for new suppliers . Lastly , delivery points will become more diverse and less expensive .

1 . Challenge I am a business analyst in an IT solution company and was recently assigned to revamp an existing search page on a web application . The system owner feedback that the existing search was inefficient in finding resources . There was a timeline given to redesign and launch the new search in 3 months . 2 . Selection : The tool that i have selected is a mindmapping tool . Search is a very interactive product used by different types of users and there could be various reasons it was n’t useful . Similarly , there could be different performance indicators and envisions of how they like the search to be . Mind Mapping is easy as it is visual , engaging , and a fast way to develop a common mind regarding the current reality . 3 . Application Step 1 , I gathered 20 system users from 5 different departments . I held a session involving each department to use the search . Each of them were given time to think through and jot down what they liked , what they did n’t like and give suggestions of new ideas in a sticky note . Step 2 , I gathered everyone in the same room and requested the users to paste their sticky note on the board . The first member starts to paste , and the second one follows , pasting based on the similarity of the inputs . It was arranged based on what they liked , what they did n’t like , and what they needed for their business processes . The tool was effective as it was easy for the participants to understand , helpful in establishing a common ground of the objectives of the session and , useful in gathering data . 4 . Insight By applying the mindmapping tool , we identified three things i.e. what needs to be retained , what needs to be changed , and the new functions that are needed to support the business processes . And thus , getting a good understanding to define the design criteria . Apart from that , we also picked out some issues that were easier to solve e.g. search taking awhile to load . This could be proposed to the IT departments to upgrade the operating systems , and it should be resolved in no time . 5 . Approach Another great tool I would consider is Data Visualisation . If there were more time , I would ask the participants to participate in mapping a new user journey , and also draw up an ideal state of the search interface . Perhaps , it could be that they enjoyed interacting on another interface , so that we can draw up some inspiration on the search design and get a different result .

CHALLENGE & TOOL SELECTION My goal was to streamline a process that included several departments of the company including After - Sales ( Customer Care ) , Tech Support , Reverse Logistics , Accounting and Finance . For many years this process had been broken and all the groups were constantly pointing fingers to each other , saying that the process was broken because of the other teams and not recognizing their own role in the end - to - end process . As no one was recognizing opportunities in its own part of the process , there was no assertive communication amongst the teams and the end - to - end process disconnections were increasing year after year , causing a bad experience to the company ’s customers . Our challenge was to define common ground so we could really understand our “ what is ” and have a clear view of what success would look like . For that , we needed to start creating empathy amongst the different groups , helping them to see themselves into the process . This would allow the representatives of the different team to identify what changes they could do in their own part to contribute to the process as a whole at the same time that they would be able to clearly communicate to the other teams what was expected from the others so their own process could be more efficient . I needed to find a tool that would help me to create empathy and establish common ground for collaboration amongst the 5 different departments involved . The tool I chose was visualization . As explained in the “ Visualization Tool ” video , in week 1 , this is a tool that can be used in different phases of the Design Thinking process , and that has as it mains characteristic the use of images to help to make problems tangible and concrete . In this case , I started with an existing cross - functional process map that already existed to help the representatives of each of the 5 areas , all with different mind - sets and perspectives , to see the cross - functional process we wanted to improve through the same perspective . The goal was that by the end of the exercise each group could understand the other ’s job , how their own job was impacting in the job of the others , and identify which changes in their own job or other ’s would help to improve the end - to - end process . APPLICATION I invited representatives of the 5 different teams , with knowledge enough to represent their department , to participate of a 3 - hours long working session . I started putting in the wall an already existing process map that showed the high level steps of the process showing the area responsible for each step and I explained that our goal in this session was to learn about each other ’s job , so we could all be in common ground and as a group understand our current situation ( “ What is ? ” ) . Our procedure would be : the area responsible for the first activity would explain their inputs , the area ’s task , the way they do it , and what they delivered as output for the area responsible for the following step of the process . We would follow this procedure step - by - step , each area providing details of the steps under their responsibility , covering the 13 steps involved from the beginning to the end of the process . While one team was presenting , the role of the others was listening carefully , asking questions for a better understanding of the job that was being presented and asking “ why not ” for alternative ideas that could come up . During this time , my role was two - folded : to add , change or delete steps in the map we were seeing in the wall so it would better represent the “ as is ” process that the areas were presenting ; and also take notes of the points that were being perceived / commented as process opportunities so we could come back to it in a following section . By the end of the session , all the persons in the room were able to understand the other team ’s participation in the process and also to have a comprehensive view of the end - to - end process , what allowed them to see how their own job was impacting the other team ’s job . Everyone also had insights about things they could do differently in their own job to facilitate the job of the other teams involved . This understanding of how everything is linked created empathy and the willingness to engage in productive conversation with the other groups on ways to improve the process and maximize the productivity , preparing the ground for the next steps of the project . INSIGHTS & APPROACH My main insights were : 1 ) Starting with an existing process map instead of creating an image from its very beginning was critical for the success of the activity . On one - hand , by seeing their own processes in the wall , everybody felt that they were part of something bigger ; on the other , seeing that there was a lot to cover and being able to see what steps were already covered and what we would still need to cover helped the group to avoid going into unnecessary details , maintaining the conversation focused in what matters the most , to ensure that we would be able to have a high - level understanding of everything until the end of the session . 2 ) The tool delivered more results than expected in terms of empathy creation and alignment . It not only created a common ground for the following sessions of the project as it also created new communication channels between areas that were n’t talking regularly before the session . Customer Care and Tech Support teams , for example , realized they had a similar task but each of the groups was doing it in a different way and then they decided to have separate conversations to streamline that specific part of the process . 3 ) Deciding to take notes of the points identified as opportunities but not jumping into its details during the session was very important for the success of the session . If we had stopped each time an opportunity was identified , we would have not be able to cover all the steps ; ignoring the opportunities that were being pointed out would make participants feel that the opportunities they were seeing were not important . With the list we were able to cover the full agenda while also showing that the inputs were important and that they would be covered later . Seeing the results of this session I learned that the impact of a discussion using visualization go beyond the specific project you are working on . When you establish an environment where people feel that they are being listened and that other people now understand what they do , the empathy created stimulates collaboration in other activities and projects resulting in an overall improvement of the results . For this reason I have been using the visualization tool not only as a problem solving tool , but also as a way to increase productivity : the members of my team now regularly share visually what they are doing to get contribution from the other team members so it can get improved .

INSIGHTS & APPROACH My main insights were : 1 ) Starting with an existing process map instead of creating an image from its very beginning was critical for the success of the activity . On one - hand , by seeing their own processes in the wall , everybody felt that they were part of something bigger ; on the other , seeing that there was a lot to cover and being able to see what steps were already covered and what we would still need to cover helped the group to avoid going into unnecessary details , maintaining the conversation focused in what matters the most , to ensure that we would be able to have a high - level understanding of everything until the end of the session . 2 ) The tool delivered more results than expected in terms of empathy creation and alignment . It not only created a common ground for the following sessions of the project as it also created new communication channels between areas that were n’t talking regularly before the session . Customer Care and Tech Support teams , for example , realized they had a similar task but each of the groups was doing it in a different way and then they decided to have separate conversations to streamline that specific part of the process . 3 ) Deciding to take notes of the points identified as opportunities but not jumping into its details during the session was very important for the success of the session . If we had stopped each time an opportunity was identified , we would have not be able to cover all the steps ; ignoring the opportunities that were being pointed out would make participants feel that the opportunities they were seeing were not important . With the list we were able to cover the full agenda while also showing that the inputs were important and that they would be covered later . Seeing the results of this session I learned that the impact of a discussion using visualization go beyond the specific project you are working on . When you establish an environment where people feel that they are being listened and that other people now understand what they do , the empathy created stimulates collaboration in other activities and projects resulting in an overall improvement of the results . For this reason I have been using the visualization tool not only as a problem solving tool , but also as a way to increase productivity : the members of my team now regularly share visually what they are doing to get contribution from the other team members so it can get improved . ### Output:

Learning Launch Challenge I am a member of my organization ’s Regulatory affairs department and my / our challenge is to improve the product submission ( activities and projects ) to US marker and in order to increase approvals without any major deficiencies . The project scope includes interacting with all cross function teams , FDA communication related to products changes . The generic products verified as per guidance for Sterile pharmaceutical or biological medicinal products , GMP regulations , Regulatory requirement of pharmaceutical products , Health care regulatory affairs , Clinical safety data management , Clinical investigation of medical devices . Selection Our team has to make a regulatory strategy for individual products , so we are ready to try the learning launch tool . Broadly speaking , the learning launch is an experiment meant to quickly test an idea and prototype . Application For our first learning launch , we focused on the structure / execution of our online marketing tasks . In particular , we wanted to see if we could structure our tasks , projects , and processes to adapt the methods of Scrum project management for our work ( e.g. , time boxed , daily , specific meetings , reviews , etc . ) in an effort to become more agile . This tested our assumption that the structure and execution were the main causes of our workflow challenge . Our team went through a two - day training with a Scrum project management coach . Next , we went through five workshops to structure our tasks and processes in a more agile way . These two sessions occurred within in a three - week timeframe . We expected to produce a document with a clear description of our new , more agile processes / workflow . For our second learning launch , we focused on gaining clarity about our tasks and priorities . This tested our assumption that our prioritization of tasks was the main cause of our workflow challenge . Our team completed an anonymous survey . Additionally , five key stakeholders from the larger marketing department and IT department also completed an anonymous survey . The surveys included questions about our new , proposed process , understanding the process and the prioritization of tasks , and feelings about the change , and were conducted within a one- week timeframe . 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 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 . Our actual results were slightly different from what we anticipated : while our team was open to the prioritization of tasks and process , the key stakeholders in the larger marketing department and IT department expressed some concerns . 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 Our regulatory affairs team covers a broad range of specific skills and occupations . Under the best of circumstances , it is composed of a group of people who act as a liaison between the potentially conflicting worlds of government , industry , and consumers to help make sure that marketed products are safe and effective when used as advertised . People who work in regulatory affairs negotiate the interaction between the regulators ( the government ) , the regulated ( industry ) , and the market ( consumers ) to get good products to the market and to keep them there while preventing bad products from being sold . On the consumer side , people in regulatory affairs help keep the other two groups honest , and they provide the stimulus for Congress to enact the laws that regulate how government and industry treat products .

LEARNING LAUNCH FOR CREATING BASIC EQUIPMENT STANDARDS Challenge : I work in a pharmaceutical company which manufactures sterile injectable vials . In this environment during packing of vials if any stoppage of line happens which is combination of machines in series to do different activities then whole batch has to be rejected . This is because if stoppage happens then human / operator has to intervene which could result in breach of sterility requirement . So to avoid this problem there was a need of creating basic maintenance standards which can be executed by the operator themselves rather than engineering maintenance team . But when I approached operators and told about the idea , their reply was disappointing like “ we have never done any maintenance activities related to to this line by ourselves and also we do n’t have time to do extra activities ” Selection : Then I decided to do a learning launch on the tentative basic and simple maintenance standard for one of the equipment in the line to check operator ’s excitement & acceptance level to the same & as solution to the stoppage of line during vials batch production . For this I took the reference of the 3rd video named ‘ Learning launch tool ’ of 4th week of the course design thinking for innovation . Application : At first I identified the critical check points and activities for continuous running of the line from instructions and maintenance manual . Then to identify what wows & works for the users I have interviewed 3 operators out of 6 operators different equipment ’s of the line each for 15 minutes to get to know about their pain and their interest which they would like . I have chosen a short period of time to ensure that even if I fail , I fail cheap as I have not used much of the scare resource i.e. time of both operators and myself . The outcome of this was they would like to do any specific and less time consuming activities which will address their pain of blame for rejection of batch . So based on this I have prepared a checklist of to do activities for one machine named filling machine which fills medicine into vials . When I first tested it with operators I realized that it should address the ambiguity during execution & also do the task of supporting logistics(items needed for execution ) . Based on this first launch and a smaller time experiment of 50 minutes I revised the checklist of filling machine with more specificity like dividing each task of checklist into one of the 5 categories 1 ) cleaning 2 ) adjustment 3 ) tightening 4 ) lubrication and 5)Inspection with the required tool & support from housekeeping team in arranging the required logistic tools for the team and defining place and quantity for each of these . Based on this when I did the second launch the operators were more positive as it has taken only 19 minutes to execute & told me that they would love doing this . Insight : From this learning launch experience I learned and actually witnessed the power of testing idea with users / customers and refining them for the success of offering . When I crated the second learning launch I came to know that specific tasks like adjustment , tightening , lubrication etc has cleared the ambiguity and unknown work pressure from the mind of operators & has given me insight for preparing same kind of checklist standards right first time for all of the other 5 equipment ’s of the vial line .

Challenge and Selection The challenge I was presented with during the second year of my education in art and design school was to create a brand based on traditional soviet Christmas tree accessories . The main challenge was to make sure that the new brand is not copying the one that already exists and that it provides with new products and adds new values to old products . For that problem I ’ve decided to use a tool of storytelling and create a new story around those accessories to make them relevant to the present time and highlight new ways of using them , as well as create a new product and attract new customers by an appealing storyline of those new products . Application I have conducted a survey to learn personal stories , experiences and memories connected to the Christmas tree accessories . By collecting them I ’ve distinguished the most sensitive topics and the most heartwarming and touching stories . Next , I put together a storyline of the new brand that includes all these insights I ’ve found . The new brand has the same name as the old one , and is actually a part of the old one , but it ’s main focus is on bringing the new values and rethinking of way to use the accessories . The new brand is providing with accessories for people ( earrings , bracelets , rings etc . ) but saves the forms and visual approach of the Christmas tree decorations . The story that the brand uses in the marketing campaign is based on the childhood memories and on the feeling of happiness , holiday spirit and merriness . Insight and Approach What I have learned from creating such a brand and working with a storytelling tool is that the most important thing in design is not the visual part of it , but the associative and sensual . The more meaning you give to a product , and not just practical meaning , but emotional — the better it works . You as a designer have more to work with and a better understanding of the target audience and of the past and possible future of the brand . It helps to create an identity that portrays a clear message and incorporates the whole story of a brand , if you know where the story starts , how it goes and rhere it ’s heading . Since I ’ve discovered such approach , I have been trying to incorporate a storytelling tool to all of my works , even the simplest ones . It is a great starting point to a creating of brand identity and understanding of past and future of the brand , as well as the values it holds and how it is intertwined with real peoples ’ lives , memories and personal stories .

CHALLENGE AND SELECTION : The challenge that I have selected is the planning done in a company before conducting or hosting an event . The tool that I have selected for this purpose is Mind Mapping . I had done my internship during my 2nd year as a BBA student in an event management company . So now I ’m a bit familiar to what is done in a company before organizing an event . I have adopted the mind mapping as a tool as it helps in resolving the issues relating to the planning process for event hosting by shortening the list and details . Instead of the whole thing , we can write important key points which will refer to the particular object we are focussing on . Mind mapping helps in expediating the process as we already know what we need/ have to do , we now just have to do it . APPLICATION : Before planning an event , there are several mind maps that have to be drawn . All of these maps are related to different categories or different parts which are essential for the event . Mind mapping helps us to divide the whole event into different parts and categories and it helps us to identify the parts / categories which are more important and focus more on them . Mind mapping gives us various alternatives within which we can choose the best suitable option . Based on the nature of the event , the maps will be drawn accordingly . Let ’s assume the case of event management related to the education sector . The first thing that can be mapped are the resources that are required , based on the size , nature , and type of the event . Also , the location is an important factor which helps to add / eliminate the resources which may or may not be appropriate or useful . Accordingly several other requirements can be mapped like what activities will be performed during the event , time management for activities or preparation , management of the registrations / queries desk , resources for the delegate kits like brochures of partnering companies ’ products , magazines , etc ( if any ) , manpower management , which schools are to be invited , who should be the special guests , which companies are to be partnered with , what will be the food facilities for the participants , how many people ( related to education sector particularly ) like educators , teachers , principals , etc are to be invited , etc . Choosing an appropriate location according to the type and nature of the event is also very important . If the location is like hotel , then the company will only have to pay for the services of the hotel staff and the kitchen members . They would not have to pay for the raw materials needed for food preparation or hire any other third party for food facilities . INSIGHTS AND APPROACH : What I have learnt is that mind mapping helps a company to identify the different kinds of resources that may be important or not important for a particular event and eliminate any extra resource which might not be useful for the company for at least that particular event . Mind mapping divides a task into several small parts and these maps will have only important keywords , which are enough for the team / company to understand what is on the task . Instead of preparing long and detailed lists which may take a lot of time , companies often use mind mapping technique to prepare the same list of important resources which will have all the things listed but will be less detailed . Mind maps are also prepared more easily as compared to the detailed lists .

CHALLENGE AND SELECTION I am passionate about what I do in the world which is improving the profitability of corporate organizations whilst convincing them we are the institution of choice in service delivery and ultimately superior returns . However , telling the perfect story tailored to suit each customer is dependent on several factors which include but is not limited to their profile / status , needs , and net worth . APPLICATIONS In delivering my stories , I consider a lot of factors that guarantee an almost successful outcome in my few years in the field . Some of these factors include : Solving a Problem : This usually could range from the basic needs to the more personal issues and complicated corporate needs of the customers . Having ready - made answers to their needs and questions instills a level of desire . a. Being Personal : In storytelling , getting personal when delivering your lines helps communicate trust and confidence which translates to successful marketing . b. Be Authentic : This simply means communicating the truth most effectively . Being caught in a lie never ends well and is a terrible way to start a relationship . c. Have the Desired Outcome : This means knowing what the endgame of your conversation is . Might even realize you do not have to complete your story most especially when the desired outcome has been achieved . INSIGHT AND APPROACH With several years of experience in using this tool ( Story Telling ) . I can say with certainty that it is very effective in the Business development field as it communicates effectively and requires direct feedback . This feedback in turn determines the effectiveness of the tool and helps in reflecting on how best to improve on the skill . Storytelling can always be improved upon but is guaranteed with a high probability of success once leveraged because , at the end of the day , everyone loves a good story .

However , telling the perfect story tailored to suit each customer is dependent on several factors which include but is not limited to their profile / status , needs , and net worth . APPLICATIONS In delivering my stories , I consider a lot of factors that guarantee an almost successful outcome in my few years in the field . Some of these factors include : Solving a Problem : This usually could range from the basic needs to the more personal issues and complicated corporate needs of the customers . Having ready - made answers to their needs and questions instills a level of desire . a. Being Personal : In storytelling , getting personal when delivering your lines helps communicate trust and confidence which translates to successful marketing . b. Be Authentic : This simply means communicating the truth most effectively . Being caught in a lie never ends well and is a terrible way to start a relationship . c. Have the Desired Outcome : This means knowing what the endgame of your conversation is . Might even realize you do not have to complete your story most especially when the desired outcome has been achieved . INSIGHT AND APPROACH With several years of experience in using this tool ( Story Telling ) . I can say with certainty that it is very effective in the Business development field as it communicates effectively and requires direct feedback . This feedback in turn determines the effectiveness of the tool and helps in reflecting on how best to improve on the skill . Storytelling can always be improved upon but is guaranteed with a high probability of success once leveraged because , at the end of the day , everyone loves a good story . ### Output:

Challenge & Selection I work in the energy industry in the area of billing . We have many different customers who send us their electricity consumption . Sometimes digital , sometimes by letter or phone , or sometimes we send employees over to read the electricity meter . It is a multitude of linear and rigid processes . Customers can be industrial customers , families or older people who can hardly hear or move . We need the correct data from all these customers as quickly as possible . Unfortunately , this often does n't work . Delays , incorrect readings , incorrect invoices occur or communication fails . In order to modernize this entire accounting process , you first need a deep and comprehensive understanding of the problem . Which customer groups have which problems where ? When ? Which process steps can you revise ? What are the customers ' needs ? First of all , the entire process must be recorded here . With all the steps and customers . An overview is required to define the relationships and interfaces . That is why the visualization tool is used here . The customer groups and their relationships and the associated problems and needs are identified here using diagrams , mind maps and post - actual customers and arrows . Application To understand where the problems lie and where the customers ' needs are , I paint the entire process on the board . The beginning is a small drawing of an electricity meter . The various customer groups are already divided here with arrows . Household customers ( single , family , pensioners ) , industry and trade . Various arrows lead to the absence here . This takes care of the readings , which in turn come to us for billing . Two columns are created under each intersection and each customer group . One for the problem , one for the need . In order to record the problems and needs , we evaluate and enter objective data from error messages and complaints . We also interview various customer groups by email and phone . So that we can get a better insight into each other and people are in the foreground , we invite two people from each customer group , from the reading team and from the accounting team . We discuss and brainstorm together . Every problem and every need is worked out and glued to the blackboard by post - it . So we slowly recognize where most problems occur in the process . Visualizing keeps the mind on the go . We recognize even the smallest problems . Because we work together as a team with all those affected , the problems are usually too deeply human . We then sit down , give us feedback and ultimately evaluate everything . Insight & Approach I have learned that working in teams with post - actuals and small graphics and arrows and the associated discussions is very useful in order to assign problems to the individual process steps . Here you can quickly see clusters . You learn where and when which problem occurs . We get a comprehensive picture of the entire process . This insight from different sides was necessary to define the problem area and to uncover the needs . Next time I would also use photos and videos . The customers can document their paths and processes on the picture . A problem that often came was the missing assignment of an electricity meter to the right customer . There are often several meters at the location . But which one fits which customer ? We have discussed that it makes sense to renew the arrangement and design of the electricity meter . Images would have been more suitable for this .

STORY TELLING Challenge and Selection : This is a very good tool to dig ones thought and emotions when a real incident is described as story . My profession is always with young people who are always inspired by live actions . Normally I teach them by visual methodology . But once I was not able to explain a topic visually , I took the tool- storytelling to explain my concept . This tool even though does n’t bring the live actions of current scenario , but brought lot of emotions in them . Most of the people at present have lost the habit of reading books . Application : I started my class with visual description . Unfortunately I was not in position to explain to them visually due to technical problem . I was describing different types of allergies and immune response in our body . Some allergy related to eczema . I described about a lady who was undergoing treatment for eczema . The redness in her face and arms made the lady not good looking as before . The redness and itching made her to give an awkward movement . The chronic eczema led to swelling of the legs which made her unable to walk for a month . The fluid secretion from the chronic redness , gave a bad odour . I explained to them , that self - confidence and regular medication made her to recover from the illness . They asked me about the lady . I told them , that the lady is me . The students were shocked . I showed them the redness in my legs turned to black pigmentation . I told them the food pattern which I follow and the medication . This class regarding the eczema can never be taken away from them as I have given them a live example . Insight and Approach ; This real example narrating as story to them , made the students to remember the symptoms , nutritional pattern and medication . Even if I have given a visual explanation , it would n’t be made effective . This course design thinking for innovation has been an inspiring course . Early I thought describing my own incident is good or not . But expressing one ’s view and knowledge through narration can be fruitful . This can also be an excellent tool .

A learning launch is a business - world application of the scientific method ; it is a way of thinking that relies on generating and testing hypotheses . It starts with hypothesis- generating by asking a what - if question , which allows you to identify a new possibility to act on . That possibility is your hypothesis — basically an educated guess about something you think is likely to be a good idea . That ’s the creative part . Then to test your hypothesis , you specify what scientists call the boundary conditions . In other words , you ask : Under what conditions would that hypothesis , in fact , be a good idea ? Or — worded differently — what would need to be true in order for my idea to be a good one ? So , you bring to the surface the assumptions that lie under your hypothesis , and then you go find the appropriate data with which to test them . That is the analytic part . If it turns out that your assumptions are not true , and your hypothesis is disproved , then you should take the new data and go back and use it to restate the hypothesis better . And then you test that new and improved hypothesis . It is an iterative process that you cycle through continuously , learning something new each time that allows you to develop a better hypothesis for the next pass . The process is what we refer to as intelligently opportunistic . In other words , it lets you rigorously examine your current best guess , but not in a way that forces you to accept or reject it . It instead allows new and previously unanticipated improvements to your idea to emerge . This is learning as you go . This hypothesis - driven approach is based on the idea of learning , rather than knowing . As a result , it is particularly useful under conditions of uncertainty in which we do n’t know as much as we ’d like to . Does all of this sound familiar ? Of course it does — a new business idea is , in fact , just a hypothesis . And a learning launch is just a process for testing and improving that hypothesis . That ’s the rub . Hypotheses about the future are a lot trickier to deal with than those about the present ; in fact , they can never really be proven to be true . As a strategist or a growth leader , the best you can do is to marshal compelling evidence that supports your argument that your view or your “ story ” about the future is likely to be worth pursuing . It has to be testable with today ’s data . That means that you have to tie the future hypothesis back to some phenomena that are already operating today . Then you are going to ask your audience to leap with you to tomorrow . Their ability to take that leap will be a function of how compelling you can make your story about tomorrow on the basis of what we know today . But only the passage of time will prove whether you are right or wrong .

LEARNING LAUNCH Challenge I am a student currently doing my BE in Mechanical Engineering . Now that almost the entire world is under lockdown due to COVID 19 pandemic , I thought this is the right time to apply design thinking and solve some problems faced by common people . One of the worst hit people during this pandemic are the daily wage workers . All of their family members depend on their daily wage . Now that the entire nation is under lockdown , all the daily wage workers are jobless and do not have money to feed themselves and their families . I thought this is the perfect problem for me to apply design thinking . Selection The design thinking tool I choose was LEARNING LAUNCH . Learning Launch is an experiment meant to quickly test an idea and prototype . Application The first thing I did was to interview the daily wage workers . I asked about the problems faced by them and their priorities . Their first and major problem was inability to buy essentials like rice and milk due to lack of money . Some of them even had small children who had been starving for 2 to 3 days . This really broke me down . As a design thinker I wanted to do something for these people . I immediately started collecting money using crowd funding . Crowd funding is basically collecting small sums of money from multiple people for a business project or social cause . I was able to collect Rs.76000 in 2 days . These amount came from the donations of more than thousands of people . They were people from different states , different religions . That day I found out that humanity has no religion . I found that in spite of all the religion disputes , when there is a problem we all come together . I contacted a local grocery owner and ordered the basic essentials that were required for the daily wage workers . I planned to give a grocery kit which consisted of rice , milk , oil , salt , and dal . With the money collected I was able to buy 125 grocery kits . I rented a mini van started delivering these kits to the daily wage workers . Insights The happiness in their faces were priceless . I felt relieved that I have did something for the society . This would n’t have been possible without design thinking . The LEARNING LAUNCH was the ideal tool for this problem . The results were on the expected lines . This problem was one of the most difficult problem to solve . I felt proud of myself that I had solved it using design thinking . Approach Next time I am planning to do the same project on a larger scale . I will interview more people and try to understand their problems deeply . I would still use the same tool again . I want to involve more and more people to join me in doing this .

StoryTelling Challenge and Selection Storytelling is a quality that challenges analysis and relies on both imaginative and significant decision manners . Our stories exhibit our years – the severe winds and the tranquil delights . Therefore , bestowing our novels adds more intensity to life , gives more significance to our connections , and contributes more connection in our work . Listening to each other 's stories encourages us to show compassion , better correlate to one another , and better experience complex thought . Storytelling is comprehensive and multi - cultural , comprising a means of giving and take . Stories can disclose personal vigour as well as individual uniqueness . Retaining a story , then , is more compelling than reviving data . As an educator for me , Storytelling is a convincing pedagogical tool . Storytelling is addressing knowledge in a pure manner . The instructor , the author , and the performer experience a comparable goal : to acquaint , employ and inspire their audience . We all attempt to convey the information in the most compelling and intriguing way possible . Telling a story captivates the audience in a novel way . Storytelling , then , is yet another tool for my collection . It is not only a powerful tool for me as a way of planning information , but as a compelling means for my students to display what they have discovered . The magic of storytelling transforms the environment in my classroom and in so doing intensifies the knowledge context . Stories help to open the soul so that my learners are ready to take things in . In short , stories please their heart , and , once the heart is won , their mind is open to discovering ! Application , Insight and Approach Stories encourage active thought on the part of students . When students hear a story , they imagine mind pictures , make assumptions and prophecies , and fill in the gaps . They in a spirit become engaged in designing the story , thus establishing a relationship with the anecdote . When packaged as a story , the oral presentation of knowledge supports greater engagement than does write the language . To interest to different learning styles , it is necessary to excel the anecdotal portrayal of fact and theory . Stories are solid ; they embody theories better than intellectual , non - creative methods . Teaching storytelling also teaches exhibition , ideas , and composition skills . Using storytelling as a method of guidance and evaluation encourages enriching objectives . These include : ● improving verbal skills ● gaining self - confidence ● exploring the meaning of events ● cultivating a love for language and stories ● inspiring higher levels of cognitive thinking ● obtaining a more in - depth perception of narration ● enhancing imaginative skills ● internalizing the traditional structure and precepts of stories ● refining writing skills ● inspire active participation in the creation of stories Storytelling is such an efficient tool for the teacher because it is a potent form of expression . Both the student and the teacher avail from it . Students learn from hearing stories because they pay closer attention , understand the message more readily , and remember key points longer . Teachers become better educators because being able to tell a story efficiently magnifies the judgment of the teacher as a leader . A teacher who can adeptly tell a tale exhibits an attainable , agreeable , and human side to his or her personality . This helps to close the distance between the teacher and the students by making the teacher 's status less intimidating . Some ways that storytelling can be implemented in the classroom context . ● Design a story to explain new theories or ideas . ● Communicate a topic or theme by describing a story about it . ● Interpret historical events by narrating them as stories . ● Develop and tell the story of historical figures meeting one another or about characters from different stories meeting . ● Embed knowledge that needs to be evaluated in a narrative form and tell the story to the teacher and class . ● Take a well - known story and retell it with characters and situation based on curricular material . ● Put yourself in a well - known story and describe the events from your first - person point of view . As a pedagogical tool , teachers should use storytelling to investigate cultural heterogeneity , to inspect storytelling methods , to explore a variety of ways to create stories , to blend the curriculum , to nourish the imagination , and to review the power of narrative . Stories go beyond the mere portrayal of facts ; instead , they involve the students by retaining the creativity and encouraging conceptual associations to the knowledge being manifested .

Application , Insight and Approach Stories encourage active thought on the part of students . When students hear a story , they imagine mind pictures , make assumptions and prophecies , and fill in the gaps . They in a spirit become engaged in designing the story , thus establishing a relationship with the anecdote . When packaged as a story , the oral presentation of knowledge supports greater engagement than does write the language . To interest to different learning styles , it is necessary to excel the anecdotal portrayal of fact and theory . Stories are solid ; they embody theories better than intellectual , non - creative methods . Teaching storytelling also teaches exhibition , ideas , and composition skills . Using storytelling as a method of guidance and evaluation encourages enriching objectives . These include : ● improving verbal skills ● gaining self - confidence ● exploring the meaning of events ● cultivating a love for language and stories ● inspiring higher levels of cognitive thinking ● obtaining a more in - depth perception of narration ● enhancing imaginative skills ● internalizing the traditional structure and precepts of stories ● refining writing skills ● inspire active participation in the creation of stories Storytelling is such an efficient tool for the teacher because it is a potent form of expression . Both the student and the teacher avail from it . Students learn from hearing stories because they pay closer attention , understand the message more readily , and remember key points longer . Teachers become better educators because being able to tell a story efficiently magnifies the judgment of the teacher as a leader . A teacher who can adeptly tell a tale exhibits an attainable , agreeable , and human side to his or her personality . This helps to close the distance between the teacher and the students by making the teacher 's status less intimidating . Some ways that storytelling can be implemented in the classroom context . ● Design a story to explain new theories or ideas . ● Communicate a topic or theme by describing a story about it . ● Interpret historical events by narrating them as stories . ● Develop and tell the story of historical figures meeting one another or about characters from different stories meeting . ● Embed knowledge that needs to be evaluated in a narrative form and tell the story to the teacher and class . ● Take a well - known story and retell it with characters and situation based on curricular material . ● Put yourself in a well - known story and describe the events from your first - person point of view . As a pedagogical tool , teachers should use storytelling to investigate cultural heterogeneity , to inspect storytelling methods , to explore a variety of ways to create stories , to blend the curriculum , to nourish the imagination , and to review the power of narrative . Stories go beyond the mere portrayal of facts ; instead , they involve the students by retaining the creativity and encouraging conceptual associations to the knowledge being manifested . ### Output:

Storytelling in designing Story telling has been always a good means of communicating with the audience to attract them to concepts of designing and innovation . Designers usually use the storytelling to get insight into users , establish prominent empathy and reach them productively . Designers establish personas to produce their target users and add relevant social issues to stories that reflect their hard - work , journeys and problems . While crafting stories , designers can make better understanding what users want from solution . Story telling creates an realistic like environment in the designers to influence their attention . It helps in forming cognitive imagination to compare the story with the realistic values . The creativity depicted in the form of story - telling is itself a form of good communication to outsource information .

Challenge - When the CEO returned to my company after being fired , the company share was only worth US $ 5 and its future was uncertain . In the period 1979 - 1993 , the company struggled to achieve market success , especially after the CEO ’s departure and increasing competition from other competitors , which decided to enter the PC computers market . During this period , our company faced number of challenges including unstable strategy due to the change of executive teams , unclear vision about our ’s competitive strategy , especially after any major player entered the market , unclear vision about selling OS licenses , which would put the company in competition with Windows operating system , products not unique in the market , confusion and uncertainty among the consumers , resulting from this strategy . Selection – The design thinking tool used here is Visualization . The main focus we had on People ’s needs and desires , rather than only the needs of the business , building empathy by helping people to love our products , the design rather than the engineering work ; designers consider both the form and the function of the product , building simple yet user - friendly products rather than complex hard - to - use products . Application - In this part , our CEO tended to improve the execution process by closing 2 divisions , eliminating 70 % of the new products and focusing on the higher potential products , reducing the product lines from 15 to just 3 , and shutting facilities to move manufacturing outside the company . Company also launched a website for direct sale of its products and started to take an interest in materials and how products are manufactured within a consumer - driven culture . We streamlined our product portfolio to a family of products that can be produced much more quickly while keeping the existing design elements . Also , the company targeted product that require less repair and maintenance . The consumer experience should be integrated into the design and development stages through participating in usability testing . Also , the design for interfaces should focus on the user experience . Successful products require an integrated marketing strategy that identifies the target segment and builds the product brand in accordance with this target segment . Tools such as the business model canvas can help our understanding of the project and create a business strategy for it . Also , a tool such as the SWOT analysis allows us to understand the strengths , weaknesses , opportunities , and threats of the specified product . Insights - In addition to the function of the product , the form should beautiful , which can be achieved through continuous innovation and development . Our company also focused on the materials and manufacturing process and took a bold approach to trying new ideas rather than sticking with the ordinary design forms . It provides a clear lesson about how design and innovation can turn company failure to market success and a leading position in a competitive market . Design thinking helped the company to innovate while placing their consumers at the heart of the process . Approach – Since here we have seen how a company has turned its fate within few years with the help of Visualization . As times are changing and technology is ruling out traditional business ideas . So , next design thinking tool I or my company would like to use is mind mapping and with the help of AI . We need to understand the thinking process of our customers and understand the algorithms to cater more customers .

Example Reflection : Learning Launch Challenge : I am a management student and during my internship , I am assigned with a project to identify all the key performance metrics to be measure , which can affect the business . I have to prepare an automated dashboard showing all the KPIs , the data shown should be interactive depending on different dimension example Date , frequency , Region , Brand , Product etc . The dashboard will help the management to take actionable steps . The project needs to be deliver in 1 month . The project scope includes communicating with different stakeholders , assuming the KPI that affect more on the business , understanding their calculation methodology and prepare prototype of dashboard . After the test run and successful approval from the leadership , development of integrated dashboard will take place . Selection : Learning launch is the apt process to carry out this task . Stating and designing the assumed KPIs for the prototype dashboard and then after testing continuing the actual development . Application : Firstly , I focus majorly on communicating with managers and the stakeholders of different functions . Understanding how the workflow happens in the business . Depending on the importance , criticality and urgency of major metrics calculated in the business , I would assume the KPI that can affect the business performance . Based on these key assumptions , I will collate all the raw data and prepare a calculation methodology of KPI . I will design the dashboard basis assumption of different reporting dimensions like Region , Date , Frequency , Brand etc . Using these key assumptions , the prototype created will be launch to do the test runs . The test will determine the interactive - ness of KPIs with different dimensions , the colour schema , placeholders of metrics / slicers , and relevance of the KPIs projected . If the prototype will not get approved , the feedback provided by the senior leadership will be implemented and a new prototype will be created . If the prototype will get approved by senior leadership , I will continue the development of actual integrated dashboard . Insight / Approach : By applying the learning launch tool in this project , I will be able to identify all the key assumptions , by understanding the business from the stakeholders I will be able to prioritise those KPIs which has major impact on performance . I have designed the launch prototype to design those assumptions . A more agile approach of working on feedback , tasks and workflows will improve the design . A continuous interaction with stakeholders and feedback from leadership will help in incorporating the desired functionality needed in the design . By reviewing the insights from these test launches , I will be able to work towards the final dashboard model .

Reflection – Storytelling Challenge My name is Alberto and I ’m a middle manager ( one of many directors ) of a Technology practice in a large consulting company . I play the role of a project manager ( or sometimes team lead ) in the implementation of complex corporate IT - systems , such as an ERP system or a corporate Data Warehouse / Business Intelligence system . My clients are big companies , usually leaders on local market . They work in different industries – oil & gas , metals & mining , coal production , power generation and distribution , agriculture and so on , – but often have typical / similar problems and requirements , so my experience is relevant to many of them . I ’m basically a technical ( IT ) specialist , dedicated to ‘ delivery ’ – system design and implementation . Sales and marketing are not my favorite skills . But over the past three years I have been responsible for developing an interesting complex functionality ( Commodity Trading application ) for a large coal producer , and it makes sense to bring this accumulated experience to the market ( to the C - level management in the relevant companies ) . Selection Storytelling looks like the right technique for promotion of our skills and experience in CTRM ( Commodity Trade and Risk Management ) . My project team , together with the client , has come a long way , made some mistakes ( not fatal ) , learned many lessons and finally achieved good results , so I can tell some interesting stories based on it . Application I have prepared two types of presentations about our project and CTRM experience : • Long story with a description of our client , business objectives , project approach , technical architecture and many details and examples . It was addressed to a rather narrow audience – for example , the participants of the metals & mining conference . • A more general and shorter presentation intended for a much wider audience – just description of base problems , typical client requirements and issues , and outline of the possible system architectures . Insight & Approach Then based on these materials ( combination of detail comprehensive project description and kind of elevator pitch about CTRM ) I was ready for any scenario – long story for experts , short introduction for newcomers and so on . But even very short story , to be effective , requires tones of background preparation – analysis of target audience , development of the logical structure of the narrative , a selection of striking examples from real life and … endless training .

But even very short story , to be effective , requires tones of background preparation – analysis of target audience , development of the logical structure of the narrative , a selection of striking examples from real life and … endless training . ### Output:

Challenge & Selection : Twice a year , the club that I ’m involved accepts new members . As part of this process , they are assigned a mentor . The mentor is someone within the club , who has been there for at least six months . The role of the mentor is to guide the new member through the education process , adjust to the organization , acquaint them with the traditions and history of the organization , and encourage them . The challenge that the organization faces is the best way to assign the incoming members to a mentor because this relationship is so important . We want to make the best matches possible , but this is difficult if several current members all want to mentor the same new member , or vice versa . To approach this challenge , I chose learning launch because it allows you to test ideas quickly and come up with a solution . This seemed like the best option since many members of the club had good ideas and we needed a way to come up with the best choice before the next mentor assignment . Application The first step of the learning launch is to form a hypothesis . In this situation , the hypotheses were the different mechanisms for assigning mentors . The mechanisms were the following : the current method , a marriage matching algorithm , and a mechanism based on the allocation of school districts . The current method involved a reward system of points within the organization which measured involvement , attending events , meeting deadlines , holding positions , etc . The person with the most points would pick the person they wanted to mentor first , and then the person with the second most points would pick next , and so on until everyone had a mentee . Although this method ensured that everyone was assigned a mentor , it did not necessarily make good matches . The marriage matching algorithm was a bit more complicated , but the general idea is that all potential mentors and new members rank the order of their preference . Then , the mentor “ proposes ” to the mentee that is their first choice . All the mentees who have received a proposal tentatively accept one ( in the case that they have more than one offer , they would pick the one that has the highest rank on their list ) . This would continue until each of the new members are matched . This system involves matches in which no partner could make a match that they ’re mutually happier with . The school district prioritized based on distance , but this interpretation of it prioritized based on seniority . The longer you had been in the organization the earlier you got to choose your mentee in the process . The data collected was the mentor lists from previous years , and the experiments involved simulating the assignment of mentors from the lists for each of the three learning launch ideas above . Insight The goal was to find a mechanism that did not favor either the current members or the incoming members , but rather produced matches that would be beneficial to both . After testing each of the three suggestions with the data from past years , we determined that the marriage matching algorithm was the best option . There were too many situations in either the points or school district method that allowed for one side to be better off than the other , and created several pairs that were not on the lists of members . Approach The learning launch tool is probably the best approach to this particular scenario , and in the future , it could be used to test any new selection techniques as the organization comes up with them .

Challenge : The challenge I am going to discuss today is related to the present situation . Due to lockdown a lot of people are separated from their families . They have n’t seen their families for long and living alone . The people living alone from their families are trapped in different countries and are feeling alone and helpless . So the challenge is to make them feel as they are wanted and not alone and we stand with them . Selection : Storytelling describes the social and cultural activity such as sharing stories , sometimes with improvisation , theatrics or embellishment . Every culture has its own stories or narratives , which are shared as a means of entertainment , education , cultural preservation or instilling moral values . Crucial elements of stories and storytelling include plot , characters and narrative point of view . The reason for selecting the storytelling tool is because it can be considered as an essential human activity used for sharing experiences , for explaining values and for deciding on solutions through verbal and visual accounts . When we talk about stories they generate questions . Those questions which are for further expansion , it also leads to lots of innovative thoughts and ideas . Storytelling can be used as an important tool for feedback , which is the basis of the iterative process of prototyping that lead to solutions and answers . Stories and prototypes are intertwined , for explaining and repositioning experiences through a multitude of potential interpretations through stories , which allow the new researchers to test new solutions and find new answers before committing exclusively to a particular policy , program , or service . Application : Through this storytelling tool we are going to make them feel they are not alone . A student is trapped in a foreign country . She was there for a student exchange program and now is trapped in that unknown country for about four months . She has no way and means to reach in her home country . She is all alone and is in a room . Her family in home town are worried about her as she calls them and tells them about her situation . After few days it was birthday of that girl and he never has celebrated it alone but now she is all alone . So her family in order to make her feel better sends her card and a box of chocolate telling her that even if she is far away from them she is there in their heart will never be alone . So because of the card and box of chocolate the girl as hope and becomes more cheer able . Insight : From this we are able to understand that there are hopes in all the times and family are always present and they will love us even when they are from place .

Example reflection - Visualization Challenge & Selection I work as a User Experience designer in a telecommunication company . My job is to make sure that the applications we develop are user centered , meaning that they help the user achieve their tasks effectively . I need to research and understand how our users do their daily jobs , what their workflow is , what their pains are , and then I need to create visual designs on how our application would look . So in summary I am a human centered person with visual skills and need of communication through visual media . On the other hand , my coworkers come from technical background , mostly with network and IT engineering domains . They think and communicate differently . If I wanted to super simplify the situation , I would say that they are left - brained ( analytical ) , and I am right - brained ( creative ) . During the meetings I always feel the need to stand up and start drawing on the whiteboard . My challenge is to move them out of their comfort zone , stand up , take a pen and use visual tools for the discussions . I believe that using visual methods can enhance the discussion and can lead to a common understanding faster . This is why I chose this visualization tool . Application I found different ways on how to approach people and how to encourage them to start drawing . Some people are just scared or lazy or have n’t even thought of starting to draw or sketch , for them I think if somebody starts then they will eventually join . Some people think they are not good at drawing , for them you need to show that you are not good at drawing either . It is not about how realistic your stick figure is and they need to understand that . So what I usually do is that I start drawing and if somebody has something to fix or add , I hand over the pen and they can do their part on the drawing . I also encourage them verbally and make positive reflection comments ( e.g. “ Aaaah , now I understand , I pictured it in a different way ) that proves them that it is indeed a very powerful tool . Insight My general impression is that once people start using visuals to supplement their verbal or written information , they get the hang of it . After a while they do not care if the drawings are childish or too simply , or look ugly , or not colorful . My feeling is that it is only difficult to start . The bad news is that this does not stick . Even though we started using the whiteboard during discussions in one meeting , on the next meeting it feels like it never happened , nobody remembered and behaved like before : sitting . So maybe you can not change a person for good . Or maybe it takes years . Not sure , we will need to see . But I can say from the feedback I got from some of the coworkers is that they also found it very useful to include more visual elements in the discussions because it did make things more understandable , it brings up more ideas and more questions that need to be addressed . I believe this is essential in a design thinking process . Approach I am a bit scared , but I should try the mind mapping method with the coworkers . I am very interested in their reaction to this , if this is something they are shy at first but then get the hang of it , or it is simply too much for a community of engineers . I hope that it lightens up their brains a little .

Visualization Challenge & Selection Three or four years ago , I used a visualization tool , because I understood that understanding between people is a key part of the workflow . Without understanding between team members , people go to different directions , resources are wasted , and projects are dying . It was thanks to visualization , long before I learned about the design of thinking , I had to synchronize people with each other and direct them to one goal . Today I am developing the product of the loyalty program and I can not imagine my work without visualization tool at all . Application My first meeting with the visualization tool took place when I read the book « The Art of Explaining » Lee Leafever . Even then , I understood the importance of the correct transmission of information . Information that people need to understand . I started with the fact that any task or project passed a visual filter . I just drew what I had to do . When I was drawing , I saw empty zones and unasked questions . Then asked questions to business stakeholders and corrected the final picture . At the output , a visual map of the process or task was obtained , which was approved by all participants and then went to work . When I became a product manager , visualization of tasks became a habit . Together with business stakeholders , we filled out briefs with key questions on the task and created visual maps with user journeys . This visual maps along with the brief was transferred to the development team , which could plunge into the context of the task and see the final picture of the task . Thus , we saved a tremendous amount of time on additional questions and clarifications , and business stakeholders expectations met the result . Everyone is happy ! Insight & Approach The main insight that I got from using the visualization tool is a demonstration of how people get involved in tasks when they start drawing with you . At one point , your colleague approaches you , takes a marker from your hand and starts to draw your scheme . This way you get the full attention of the stakeholders . They participate in the process and become a part of it . They believe in what they invested , which means they will do everything to make the project outstanding . I think this is how teams are born . Those same informal teams , motivated and passionate , those who create the best products .

Mind mapping tool Challenge : I was working for an NGO named “ youth for seva ” , objective of the NGO is to decrease the number of school dropouts in a 5- 14 years of age children , re - joining of dropped out kids into the schools and improving the primary school education in urban slum areas . The challenge is to find a way forward to achieve these objectives . We have collected the data from schools and local administrations and data published by government bodies , the data included number of students discontinued their schooling yearly , age , gender , class , socioeconomic status of their families . We conducted ethnographic interviews of school dropout kids , their classmates , parents , teachers and school administrative staff . Visited their residing premises of children to understand the ground reality . We found wide range of factors influencing schooling , children enrolment for schools and dropout rate . The factors such as financial status of families , gender , educational background of parents , societal aspects , availability of schools , distance from their home to schools , travel facilities , schools fees , teaching methods , teaching content , scolding and abusing at schools etc . , Further , we would like to understand the critical factors influencing school dropouts , how they are interconnected . Selection of tool : Mind mapping : Mind mapping is creative intuitive process , opinions of multiple stakeholder can be taken into consideration to get insights from the data gathered , which helps in defining the design criteria . Mind mapping tool was used to understand factors influencing children dropout from schools and how they are interlinked . Approach : Workshop arranged in a community centre , different factors influencing children school education were written / drawn on A4 size drawing sheets attached them in community hall , data sheet , brief Ethnographic interview snapshot were also stuck to the walls . We invited different stake holders such as children , parents , teachers , schools administrative staff , senior members of the community and government officials , gave the information about the design challenge and asked them to visit the hall see different factors and snapshot attached on the hall and requested them to note down most influencing factors strike to them . All these factors were grouped in to broad categories and tried to find the connection among them . Insights : Mind mapping is a very interesting creative tool to gain clear insights from the vast amount of data collected . We could easily figure out critical factors and relations ships among them . Different aspects from wider set of stake holders can be clearly summarised in a concise manner using mind mapping technique . The insights drawn using mind mapping process can be easily explainable and to be utilised for development of design criteria .

Improving your argumentation skills Within the course of your BMAN trajectory , but certainly aslo beyond , you will find that people expect you to deliver solid argumentations . In the context of this course , I am keen on finding rigorous argumentations , which are explicit so they can be scrutinized . I am quite sure that whoever is going to be your thesis supervisor will have a similar requirement . Ideally , you should find good examples in academic articles . But the quality in that set of texts varies greatly , and often things are taken as a given because the audience is expected to fill in argumentative gaps ( nobody will ask a physicists to explain what they mean when they are writing about atoms ) . Let 's look a bit deeper into what an argument really entails . We make an argument whenever we are in the presence of one or more others , and we want to convince them to accept a certain statement we are making . So an argument is part of an interaction between several persons , where one of them seeks to convince the others of something . This means a number of things : - you have to make your position as explicit and clear as possible ; - you have to present a set of arguments that you think may convince the other person to accept your position ; - you should try to find out what counterarguments could be made by the other , and pre - empt these by trying to make clear why you believe they are not valid , relevant , or important . Toulmin ( The Uses of Argument , 1958 ) provides a model of the 6 parts that an argument contains ( for a summary , see http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~digger/305/toulmin_model.htm . Let ’s run through these with an example . The CLAIM is the position that you put forward . As an example we will use the following statement : “ Social sciences contribute to insight into industrial ecosystems ” . In order to provide a compelling argument , we must first state the GROUNDS for this claim : the reasons why we feel this claim is correct . One important reason is that industrial ecosystems are – in part - social systems ( they are also technical systems , and connect to material resource flows that are part of natural ecosystems ) . The next element in the argument is the WARRANT , which connects the reason to the claim . It specifies why the fact that industrial ecosystems are ( in part ) social systems leads to the conclusion that social sciences contribute to insight into industrial ecosystems . My specification of this link would be that social sciences provide the up - to - date knowledge on social systems , and such knowledge is indispensable to gain insight into the social system - part of industrial ecosystems . This warrant also builds on reasons , which are the BACKING . In the example , this would be something like ‘ insight requires up - to - date scientific knowledge ’ ( you may accept this as a common sense truth , but others might be less convinced ; they might stress that insight can only be developed by actually working within industrial ecosystems for a long period of time ) . Being an attempt at convincing others , there may be objections to this claim . As far as you know these , they become part of your argumentation as REBUTTALS ( counter arguments to objections to your claim ) . In our example , one could say that in an analytical sense , the social system only causes a minor part of the dynamics of industrial ecosystems , and can therefore be safely dismissed . In argument , I would include a rebuttal to show that this is not true : I could show with empirical evidence that the same industrial activity , using similar technologies ( say oil refining ) , is organized in radically different ways in different countries , and that these different organizational forms have consequences for the flows and environmental impacts produced . This would effectively silence any opponent that would want to make the objection . This is one way to take objections to your claim into account in your argumentation . Another way is to add a QUALIFIER . This is a statement that narrows down the scope of your claim . It could be that , after summing up certain evidence , you hold the claim to be unproven in certain types of industrial ecosystems . So , providing a full argument means that you are precise in formulating your claim and possible qualifiers , provide not only the grounds for the claim but also how these grounds connect to the claim ( warrant ) , and the backing for that warrant ( see the scheme in this link , together with some additional explanation ) . If you apply this to your blogs and research proposal , you will notice that it takes some time to figure out all these elements , and the way they connect . That ’s exactly what is supposed to happen : you are then making the implicit parts of your thinking explicit . If you write that up , then your argumentation is solid . In essence , that means : you provide others with all the information necessary to make a decision whether they are convinced by you . If not , then they will have to provide good reasons for questioning one of these elements . Argumentation is important in any scientific discipline . It is especially important in the social sciences ( including business administration ) , where there is less unity about the concepts and theories that are used . This simply means that the choice for a theory or concept also has to rest on a solid argumentation .

Storytelling challenge Using meaningful customer stories to show the strengths of design thinking Challenge My challenge is to convince my team to approach a new project with the design - thinking methodology . I work in a large technological company that has been using an experimental approach based on quantitative data for years . This approach historically defines the company 's identity and has enabled it to achieve excellent results and operate as an industry leader . Although this strategy still works well , it is increasingly clear that product innovation is no longer sufficient , and that to maintain a leading position it is essential to innovate the business model . The strategy used so far , based on convergent thinking and quantitative data , begins to show its limits and , despite participating in the increase in revenue and market share , has proved inadequate in generating revolutionary ideas , leaving the side of the company discovered to the attacks of new younger and brave competitors . Selection The tool I selected is storytelling . Storytelling is a communication technique that consists in telling a story to attract the attention of an audience , conveying the message that history wants to tell and stimulate a specific desire in them , persuading them to perform a specific action . The storytelling differs from more traditional communication techniques because it puts at the center of the story the feelings , and aims to involve and not to convince . Following advice from the Storytelling Tool lecture from Week 2 , I have chosen it because it lends itself perfectly to my purpose , that is to open the minds of my team members to new methodologies , inspiring them with a stimulating narrative that encourages them to face new challenges in a new way , rather than with tested methods with which they are comfortable with , and because I believe that my idea can only be successful if we are all really convinced of its goodness and effectiveness and we feel really involved . Application I used the storytelling technique in the context of a talk reserved to my team members and a few other employees in our department . Preparing presentations to propose new ideas and strategies to teams and departments is very common in our company , and storytelling immediately seemed to me the tool that best suited this mode . My company offers operators in the hospitality market a digital platform to sell their services to consumers . The way I used storytelling was to get in touch with users of our service looking for touching and special stories that would involve them and consumers and show the most human face of our service . The stories I gathered were about strong bonds born during the stay between the guests and our customers , thanks to their willingness to understand their needs and their kindness to guests in unexpected moments of need or weakness . I built my presentation around these stories , using them both to generate in the listeners an emotional reaction who transcended from the successful financial metrics we are used to , and to demonstrate how direct knowledge and empathy with users is a tool that allows you to capture the real needs of users and create a stronger link than any commercial promotion or advertising campaign . Knowing my audience , I have interspersed the stories with hard data to add value to my thesis , and brief summaries of design thinking techniques relevant to our craft . Insight The thing that struck me most during the preparation of my challenge , is how effective it turned out to be on myself . Although I started with the idea of using storytelling to engage my team and convince them of the effectiveness of design thinking , I for one was involved and gained a deeper understanding of our users , our mission , a greater empathy with our customers and a greater awareness of the meaning our work can have . This convinced me even more about the usefulness of design thinking and ethnographic research methods , probably making my presentation more effective . Approach In the future I intend to repeat the presentation for other teams and departments of the company . For the occasion I want to enrich the presentation , integrating photos and video interviews with the people featured in the stories . I think this will make the presentation feel more real and engaging , and also that seeing and listening to stories directly from the mouths of the protagonists , while I limit myself to telling the context and enriching it with data and theories , will create a greater connection and empathy in the audience , strengthening the effectiveness of my presentation .

1 . Challenge : Describe your challenge , including all relevant information • In my last professional experience ( in a consumer data science consultancy ) , we had a challenge of diminishing our dependency regarding our retailer partner ’s data ( from consumer behavior within their stores ) . This data , coming from our retailer partner , used to be the main source of information , our raw material to produce insights and science from consumer behaviors in general . • With that in mind , and few steps later , we developed an independent app , which ideally would get consumer behavioral information in return of discount coupons . That ’s when I entered in the process : help to understand why customers were afraid of share their personal shopping data with a private company ( the company had already reached that point of awareness about the problem ) . 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 ) • The tool that we selected was Learning Lunch , due to some factors : it was a disruptive app in the market ( we had no benchmark ) , and besides that , consumers were not used to this sort of product / app , so they could have some difficulties to answer traditional surveys without having a practical experience with a prototype 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 ) . • Our hypothesis was that consumers would not share their personal shopping behavior data because they were afraid of being exposed ( loss of privacy ) • So that , we created some “ app user sessions ” , for small groups of clients with different sorts of rewards for them , and then we asked their opinion about the overall experience and how would they feel if there was a product like that in the market . 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 insight that we gained from applying the tool after few pilot rounds is that clients would n’t mind of sharing their personal shopping behavior data ( what they bought , where , when , how often , etc . ) for a private company as long as the rewards were worth it . ( discounts in products that they valued , for example ) . That is , if we used the app as a “ offer spam ” , to push products or promotions to our clients , instead of offering sort of rewards that they value , our chance of being unsuccessful was high . 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 believe that the application of the tool for this problem was useful . What I would like to do differently was participating in since the beginning of the process ( what was the problem ) , instead of participating from “ what wows ” step onwards , which was what happened . Nonetheless , I can see how much value this approach brought to us .

Challenge and Selection I have never really used Storytelling in the past . In fact , prior to this course I had n’t considered Storytelling as a tool to solve a problem . After watching the Storytelling video in Week 2 , Preparing Your Mind for Innovation I realized that I had been missing an important and effective means for issue resolution . Previously , I would typically use data and hard facts to highlight a problem , but this was n’t always meaningful to the various stakeholders . Framing the issue in the guise of a story allowed me to get everybody on board , not just the technical people . Knowing my audience , and having something relatable for each distinct member accelerates the process because everyone is now engaged . For my particular situation I followed the three principles of a good story , know your audience , create a sequence of events , and ask , then answer questions to build intrigue . Application Recently I encountered a problem at work that was affecting my day to day progress . After I alerted the colleagues that could help me resolve this issue I realized I had a second problem , they simply did n’t care . I followed my usual approach that involved some very boring graphs , lots of numbers , and reams of data . What I failed to do was engage the key stakeholders and convince them that not only was this a problem for me , but for them as well . After hitting a brick wall with my first attempt , I recalled the Storytelling video and decided on this approach for my second attempt . If the room were only full of engineers , then graphs and data would have been suitable . Instead , there was a broad spectrum of people and disciplines therefore engaging the audience with a story seemed to be the best option . I started my presentation with a simple picture instead of the usual data . I used the picture to start my story which included something compelling for each of the disparate groups . Once I had the audience engaged , I proceeded to outline the problem and use questions to help everyone better understand how it impacted their group . The end result was that a simple , relatable story got all the key stakeholders involved in bringing a resolution to this problem . Insight and Approach Looking back I can understand why my data driven approach was not well received . It did not provide a clear picture to each group how my problem should be their concern . By using a story I was able to show the connection of my problem to them and ultimately get a response . I connected everyone in the room to the problem in a way that simply providing the data was unable to do . The alternative approach , just providing the data , was still useful but only after everyone was able to see the problem from their own personal perspective .

Visualization Tool Challenge The challenge I ’m facing is getting project stakeholders to agree on a final design of an environmentally friendly car given that most of the stakeholders come from different environments and they have different ideas and thought patterns . Selection In attempts to sensitize stakeholders about the project ideas and allow them to have a shared understanding of the project design and the current problems which we are facing , I have decided to implement the Tool of Visualization . The tool of visualization entails using the straw man visualization of a problem domain technique which includes the use of questions to establish a discussion forum which will allow the various stakeholders to share their knowledge and concerns with each other in the process of defining the scope , boundaries , key elements , and relationships between elements to consider when identifying key points and opportunities for improvements or solutions . Application The application of the visualization process commenced with the creation of the straw man graphic of the problem domain . In order to develop the straw man graphic I will utilize design , procedural and operational documents in order to build a basic understanding of the task and environment ah hand . However , if resources are not readily available then the traditional means of gathering information will be utilized such as conducting interviews with a few stakeholders who are actively involved in the process . This Visualization Tool was used to unlock parts of our brains , to accesses our creativity which we do n’t normally used in conversation in order to get a better understanding of something using visual icons , pictures , diagrams etc which allowing others to get a better understanding of what someone is trying to say or do . For the activity , the stakeholders who are the participants will be placed in groups of five ( 5 ) where they will represent different organizations and the different areas of the design process . In this session each participant will be given a copy of the straw man graphic to write , draw and make comments on . The session will allow for various questions to be asked such as : 1 . what type of car design which should be implemented ? 2 . What kind of car features would you prefer to be in cooperated into the design process ? 3 . What benefits should the car design have on the environment ? And 4 . Which population should car design target ? The duration of session will be approximately 30 mins which give participants sufficient time to discuss and share knowledge on the given questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their poster . Further , each group will be required to report out and produce a poster and while this is being conducted adequate documentation will be made on the insights of each group and from additional insights from the group discussion on any additional copy of the graphic . Upon completion of each groups poster will be digitized to display new insights , shared and combined views which were developed during the group discussion and lastly , a Revised Graphic will be established to incorporate the participants or stakeholders feedbacks and proposed changes which was agreed upon in attempts to solve project issues . Insight and Approach From the exercise conducted with the various groups it was evident that the revised graphic was important for highlighting stakeholder ’s problem which they were working to resolve . However , another valuable aspect of the activity was the shared insights and learning that which occurred while working in their problem space . From the graphic Stakeholders were given opportunities during group discussions to share their perspectives and develop insight into the root cause of their various problems and concerns . Hence , through the straw man graphic they were able to identify where they are in the graphic , what they missed and they were able to gain insight quicker concerning the car design , processes , target population and also variables within the problem space . Lastly , because I learnt that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning next time around I would reapply the same Visualization tool as a starting point for various designing thinking activities while using the revised graphic as a key reference and feedback during the design phase of the work .

Challenge I am working for the insurance company and our focus product is motor insurance . One year ago , we have decided to revamp our digital journey of buying car insurance policy , with the ultimate goal to improve visit to sales conversion . In the overly crowded motor insurance market , we had to be different and better , not only in terms of pricing and coverage , but also in terms of overall customer experience of searching , considering and buying motor insurance . Our challenge was how we could make our website and journey of buying such a dull product more human , more engaging and more relevant . Selection The whole project was based , more or less , on principles and tools of design thinking . Many tools were utilized in our collaborative and iterative efforts to come up with the end solution that could be easily and further optimized based on data and customer insights . One of the most prominent tool used was storytelling . We used storytelling in general , to tell the story to our stakeholders for their buy - in to both fund ( Management team ) and implement this project ( Development team – all team members working on the new journey ) , but we have also used this tool particularly when we had to develop different personas and their ‘ stories ’ of how they go about when buying car insurance . Storytelling proved and still proves to be a powerful tool when you need to put your customer and their experience front and center . Storytelling tool was used in conjunction with other tools , mainly Personas Development , Visualization and Projective Techniques , especially in What Is ? And What If ? stages . It was selected so we can easily build empathy and reach the customers emotionally . By creating stories , whole team , especially designers and motor insurance product owners could better understand what customers want from a website and from a product . Application As you probably already know , our personas have been created to represent the different needs , goals , motivations , and behaviors of our prospective and existing customers that might use our site and products . This allowed us to produce highly relevant content that is used to create SEO strategies or write highly targeted copy for advertising campaigns . Storytelling of who personas are , how they search for insurance , what impacts their buying decision , helped us ‘ walk in their shoes ’ . We , my team , were personas , we felt them , thought like them , and bought the insurance like them . We knew where they work , where they live , their age and their interests … All the stories were both verbally documented and visually represented . These stories helped us understand what different users of a website were going to be doing at various stages – and accordingly helped us design a website that is user - friendly , intuitive and that would convert more visitors to customers . Insight By applying this tool in building customer centric digital journey of buying a motor insurance , we , for sure , gained better insights , which are at the heart of innovation . By clearly storytelling on who the customer was , we sparked another level of empathy , that contributed to a much more human journeys . We all agreed that such a simple yet powerful tool managed to connect all the steps or events of the end - to - end journey of buying insurance into a holistic experience . By using this tool , team members clearly understood the underlying problems that customers face when getting the product , and we applied this knowledge in reflective practice to formulate the solution which was at the end tested by our end users . Approach Storytelling tool was used in conjunction with other design tools . What we have learnt was that there ’s no fixed template to follow when applying design thinking . Sometimes , you need to go with a ‘ gut - feel ’ on what tools suit the situation and stage of the process better . In our company , that was the first time we have applied storytelling and design thinking in general . Now , we tend to apply it on even smaller changes or journeys we are building . Each project is different and needs a different approach on how to apply elements of design thinking . With each application of design thinking , team is getting better , we are learning what went wrong and what went ok . During and after each project , we have our retrospective informal sessions when we discuss positives and negatives . Storytelling not only impacted better end customer product or service , but also improved team engagement and excitement in delivering customer focused solutions . This aspect is sometimes even more powerful – how the team members are working together in an engaging and fun environment when delivering exceptional customers ’ solutions that will improve customers ’ everyday life .

REFLECTION - STORYTELLING Challenge and Selection I use Storytelling on my daily tasks as Admissions Office at a University . The people I work are young , and unexperienced , so I must elaborate a quick overview of the career path they have chosen . Most of them go to our meetings in company of their parents . I must have in mind that is not only a career that the potential student is choosing , but an investment to the parents . Some of these students come from disadvantaged families , so their admission is to a social scholarship . Often , these parents are most likely to be open to the big achievements the potential student might achieve in the future . However , the parents who do n’t apply to any economical benefit are more interested on the costs . And there is the potential student who comes alone . He / she is older than the others , it ’s economically independent and is looking forward to improving his / her opportunities in the market . I need to say that these are my favorites , but also , the toughest . I like to think that my work is not to sell people education , but to open their eyes to all opportunities they will have once they complete the educational career . So , the independent young person , is the toughest not because of the cost ( most of them apply to a scholarship ) but due their willingness to start such big project in time . So , I started trying to learn about the potential students and their families to know better how the careers they chosen might have a positive impact in all their lives . I start listening to the way the talk about things , where they focus the most ( is it the money ? The time ? Their needs ? ) , and I gather all the information to try to solve their doubts with a story . Application As I said before , the independent young person who wants to start a University Career is my favorite person to have an admission meeting with , but also the toughest . I know so because I was that person once . So , for me , the storytelling comes easy with those persons . Once was this young man , around 22 years old , that his entire life wanted to become an accountant , as his father was . His family had a truck company which moved goods all around the country and internationally . He was so proud when he told me about his father truck , the first of the company , the one in which he learned how to drive trucks . Unfortunately , his dad suffered a severe home accident and was unable to keep working and died a few months later . This incident really affected the young man . He was 16 when his dad died and took over some of the chores of the company while some of the uncles and his mom took over the company . When he became 18 , he was controlling most of the actions on the company but refused the opportunity to go to school and become an accountant as he always wanted . Years passed , he was about to get married , and there he was , on my office because his fiancée told him to pursuit his dreams . I spent almost half of our meeting time just listening to his story , but worth it . He feared losing sight of what really matters ( his dad company ) if he enrolled in a University Degree . But he knew his fiancée was right , I mean , he was in an Admissions Office . I told him my story , how I was scared from moving from one corner of the country to another just to get my degree . I told him how I got here with little money and a heart full of fear and hope . I told him of my first years of working , studying and learning to be an independent adult all at the same time and how I had to make a lot of previous steps to get to my goal : get a University Degree . Insight and Approach I think he was not prepared to have that kind of talk on an admission meeting . He told me he was certain that the meeting would proof nothing , and only dusty papers would remain as reminder of the meeting . He ended up applying later that same day . I shared this story with one of my colleagues and he shared back other stories alike . We talked about how people are making a big decision coming to us and most of them can open once they have the chance . To tell them that there are people that wore their shoes is really soothing for them . We ended up asked the university to have more Story Telling related trainings instead of Sales trainings . The university accepted this and now trainings like these are mandatory .

Visualization Tool Design Thinking – Final Assignment Challenge I`m working for a cooperative shoe company in a dual study program . Every three months we organize a trade fair for our affiliated distributors to inspire them and bring them finally to the point to buy the shoes by our presented suppliers . Sadly our trade fairs are not that much frequented as they were five years ago , even though the number of our affiliated distributors is still on the same level . Now the challenge for us is it now to reactivate our customers , the affiliated distributors , to join our trade fairs again and give them a benefit from our events . Unfortunately it was impossible for me to roll out this project until today , so the following includes only assumptions and plans which hopefully will be realized soon . Selection Caused by the fact that on our trade fairs nearly 300 different suppliers with different knowledge and skills are attending , it is important to start from the beginning to catch all of them up . In addition , our customers , who are necessary in the process of developing the concept of our trade fairs , also don`t have that wide range of knowledge about design thinking . So I decided to use the visualization tool to firstly create the same status in all heads and a consens about the problem . I`m referring here to the video lecture from the first module . Application Besides my team I would like to invite a small number of suppliers , the affiliated distributors as well as colleagues from the marketing and sales department for an evening event . Attatched to the invitation they will get their task for the event : „ Create a sketching about what is important to have for a successful trade fair an why you visit our trade fairs ! “ With whiteboards and pinboards the meeting location will be prepared before the stakeholders arrive . In the middle of the room there will be a whiteboard with a stickman sketching , showing one of our last trade fairs . You can see bored affiliated distributors , unhappy suppliers and employees of my company . Next to this sketching will be a place for these of the stakeholders . Separated in groups they will create a big graphic from their brought along sketchings . While this process they can talk about their opinions about our trade fairs and it will arise a feeling of ownership and engagement by the stakeholders . Based on these huge sketching my team and I can understand the problems of former the trade fairs much better . Apart from that we would be able to understand the reasons for the raised problems of the stakeholders much more , than just giving them a questionnaire . Insight I assume that the visualization tool is a good starting point for a design thinking roll out , especially when the stakeholders have created the graphic by themselves . As they would get a consens in the group about the actual situation , further steps in the developing process will be much easier . All group members would feel included , which would have been made tangible by the graphic , showing the actual situation described by the sketches made from the stakeholders . Through the diversity of persons and points of view it would it be possible to solve the situation from many levels . Not only the main problem but also some smaller conflicts around the topic would been more visible . Approach Another possible approach for this situation to start could be ethnographic research like it was realized in ` ` TheGoodKitchen ´ ´ Story . We could provide the lead to the affiliated distributors as they explore our trade fair . While we would not be participating in their experience of getting to know our own fair , we would have the opportunity to see our own event through their eyes . The same we would do then with the suppliers and our colleagues who are working on this trade fair . Based on this we will have a wide view of our own trade fair and will probably take problems for real . All in all we would be able to learn a new point of view , one we wouldn´t have been able to see as an organizer . Besides this alternative approach , I would prefer to start with visualization , like I described before and maybe then start ethnographic research by accompany our stakeholders on our own trade fair .

All group members would feel included , which would have been made tangible by the graphic , showing the actual situation described by the sketches made from the stakeholders . Through the diversity of persons and points of view it would it be possible to solve the situation from many levels . Not only the main problem but also some smaller conflicts around the topic would been more visible . Approach Another possible approach for this situation to start could be ethnographic research like it was realized in ` ` TheGoodKitchen ´ ´ Story . We could provide the lead to the affiliated distributors as they explore our trade fair . While we would not be participating in their experience of getting to know our own fair , we would have the opportunity to see our own event through their eyes . The same we would do then with the suppliers and our colleagues who are working on this trade fair . Based on this we will have a wide view of our own trade fair and will probably take problems for real . All in all we would be able to learn a new point of view , one we wouldn´t have been able to see as an organizer . Besides this alternative approach , I would prefer to start with visualization , like I described before and maybe then start ethnographic research by accompany our stakeholders on our own trade fair . ### Output:

Reflection Learning Launch for Increasing Student Retention Rate Challenge I am a member of University Management Board . Our challenge is to improve Student Retention Rate at University . Student Retention Rate is defined as the percent of students enrolling in consecutive fall terms ( e.g. , Fall 2019 and Fall 2020 ) , by dividing the number of students enrolled in both terms by the number of students enrolled in term one ( less completers who left the university ) . In 2015 , retention rate of our university is about 70 % - and we want to increase to 80 % after 2 year . Main department who in charge of this project is Student Relation Department , working closely with Academic Department and Student Admissions Department . We are providing trimester model ( 3 semester per year ) , so will focus to reduce dropout rate for every semester by doing some thing new for fresh students . Selection We choose the learning launch tool , so we can quickly test new idea for every semester and every year . Application For our First Learning Launch , we focused on “ Student Life ” initiatives . There are big gap between student life in K-12 and college life , living far from family , having new friends , new way to learn . We are focusing to consulting , mentoring , caring activities for new student , especially for 2 two semesters . Second Learning Launch is focus to student profession choice . Some student choose their profession and university in high school , having not enough and sometimes based in wrong information . When they come to university , we help student review their choice , and change to other if necessary . This action is doing in 2nd & 3rd semester of first student year . Third Learning Launch is Overall campaign named “ Experience for Success ” . Learning is having experiences and success , for 1st Years . In second year of project , we apply all action in First and second Learning Launch together with overall campaign . Insight By applying the Learning Launch tool , our university team identified change the mindset to student- centric , “ student success if our success ” . After one year , retention rate is 73 % , and after 2 year reaches 78 % . It ’s higher in US average retention rate ( 67 % ) . Approach The Learning Launch is the good tool for the short term project . In the future , we will apply other design thinking tools like Storytelling tools , because we have a lot of student success story to share with staff and with new students .

Challenge and Selection The tool I selected was Storytelling , helping to better connect with the problem at hand before we test ideas . Working in engineering it is sometimes hard for people to put themselves in the field working on the equipment they are doing the design work on . This can create a challenge when designs on paper do not practically align in the field . Storytelling allows me to create an image in the engineer ’s heads as they are coming up with design to better factor in field restraints and requirements that may otherwise not be considered . Application To begin I develop a story of a normal day operator or mechanic working on that piece of equipment . The story develops into several different situation and common issues that may arise . The problems are not always complex and can be very basic in nature ; unable to reach a certain component or the function interferes with another component . I then encourage the engineers to play a role in the story , how we can solve the problem at hand . Ideas and suggestions are put on a board to later be built into design consideration . Through the session ideas are weeded through and the story continues . New problems maybe faced and input from other to come up with more protentional problems . The activity not only helps place the engineer in the field but also establishes a flow of idea and thought among the group . The Storytelling tool helps reinforcing that the new design has a life after our desk . That this will become someone else project and responsibility . The tool allows the group to break out of their normal roles and partake in someone else ’s . This helps create an imaginative aspect in its own which I believe also contributes into coming up with a better design . Insight and Approach Working through activity has helped design work better when but into field implementation and with better stakeholder satisfaction . My broader take away from the activity is that sometimes taking a step back and looking at a problem from a different angle can lead to great result . In the future I like to take another approach using the Storytelling tool and have the group lead the story . Listening in on how they run the exercise and if it leads to the same results . Also , being able to add input as an outside source . I hope to apply this Storytelling technique in the future and will different projects . Possibly bring in other stakeholder groups to see how they work out the activity .

Reflection – Mind Mapping Challenge & Selection I am a Web Site designer and I need to build a website for the students at my university . The aim is to provide every resource possible and make it accessible to everyone . I was researching multiple websites of various institutes to design a better one for the users who are also my peers . Application In order to come up with an outline of what features the website should I used Mind Mapping , it is an ideal tool for effectively accessing natural creativity and harnessing that creativity for effective problem solving . Our brain starts with one centre idea and builds branches of thoughts that can be used as a base for other derivative ideas . The best way to build a website and gather information about features on the website : You should explore other websites which are built for a similar purpose . At this point , there are so many guides on how to design and what you want to include in your website . However , it is important that you also keep in mind that you look a website as a user not only as a person who is designing it . Therefore , you should ask your users about what they want in a website . Insight & Approach I started with a software called C - maps which allows you to build mind maps on a computer . This allowed me to keep sight of what I wanted to build and achieve instead of going through multiple paths . In the end , I had a mind map combining all different features and resources that the students on my website : ideas , possible layout of the home page , and finally ended with an extremely complex mind map . My next job was to consolidate all the ideas and gather all the resources , which could lead to feasible and working website . As I started working on a test page in order to see what “ Wows ” , I have realised that it very difficult to build all of it by myself . This course made me see mind mapping as a tool in a new way . When I 've done it before it was really a messy draft with no organised structure but now , I can prepare ahead present my ideas clearly . I went to the Local Tech Club and the community there was willing to help me in building the website after looking at the mind map everyone was able to understand what is needed , what works , what wows !

Storytelling Tool When entering this course , I was unaware that the Storytelling tool is part of design thinking , so I want to share my experience and how the use of this tool achieved success in a restaurant in San José , Costa Rica called Metal Trends . The owner , a pensioner from the mathematics area of the University of Costa Rica , decided to start a business in one of the oldest neighborhoods in San José . His personal story is very interesting because he completed two academic postgraduate courses in Chile and France , therefore , his love for wine and good music that he enjoyed in these two countries , led him at the end of his academic life , to realize a dream that he had always had , open a small restaurant with an exclusive menu , which included a good Carmenere wine and also delighted customers with Italian , French , classical or romantic music . From the beginning , he decided that he wanted in his restaurant a customer profile over 30 years old , a lover of wine , good food and music , and he focused on finding the indicators that would help him attract these types of people . One of the most important Chilean wines is the Carmenere grape , but this grape is not original from Chile but from France . The story says that a plague that fell in this country made the crops and grape varieties of Carmenere disappear , however , due to fate , it is not known how some of the varieties reached Chile , mixed up with those of the Merlot grape . These varieties were discovered years later by French winemakers who came to Chile to value Merlot and discovered Carmenere among them . Thus was born the rise of this knowledge in Latin America . Don Luis , the owner of this restaurant , made this story his own to promote his restaurant , he tells it to all the customers who visit it because his goal has been to position his restaurant as Facta in honor of Carmenere wine . The utensils you use in the restaurant have the history of the Lost Uvita printed on them , your satisfaction is passing from table to table with your glass in hand , toasting your customers with a good Carmenere . Undoubtedly , telling a story is an excellent tool to achieve success when developing a great brand due to the emotional connection that is achieved with the client . Metal Trends in Barrio Escalante is an example .

Re - design our Access2Funding Service – Mind Mapping tool Challenge I am currently enrolled as Startup Programs Expert in a University of Saint Francis based in Italy . My job consists in monitoring the evolution of our portfolio through the analysis of the business potential of each project and the measurement of the effectiveness and quality of our service offering . Few months ago , I was facing relevant problems concerning the Access2Funding proposition : the service conceived to help and support incubated startups in the fundraising activities . Despite the importance and the relevance of capital to our clients , the performances of our service were very disappointing : the rate of adoption had never succeeded the 10 % of our entire portfolio since the launch of the service itself , and the customer churn rate had been dangerously high ( meaning that almost nobody renewed the subscription of the service after the first year ) . It was time for us to face the reality and to understand what was the sources of this tremendous mismatching between our offering and our clients . Selection We started our re - design process taking a look at the current reality ( e.g. the incubated startups ): our team conducted informal interviews ( “ coffee sessions ” , we called them ) with a representative subset of our portfolio trying to understand in a better way all the challenges and the problems faced by our clients before during and after their fundraising campaigns . We focused our attention exclusively to the “ problem - side ” ( “ What - is ” ) and we mentioned our service only with our former subscribers to find out the pros and cons of their experience with the Access2Funding team . After 3 - weeks sessions ( and too much coffees ) we had amassed a huge amount of data and we needed a tool to distill all the information gathered into patterns and insights , defining the design criteria of our new Access2Funding service . We decided to go with the Mind mapping tool , rejecting the classic PowerPoint presentation . Application We booked our biggest conference room for an entire afternoon and we invited three different kind of stakeholders to join our session : the whole Access2Funding team , some of the previously interviewed startups , Venture Capitalists and Business Angels ( for a total of 12 people involved ) . We posted on the walls a synthesis of our interviews in order to explain and remind them the problem and the design challenges , we gave them approximately 30 minutes to observe the data , in silence , and then we asked them to organize themselves in 3 “ Discussion Groups ” made of 4 people each ( diversity of the members of each group was guaranteed by us ) . Every Discussion Group had a clipboard and some sticky notes they used to share their opinions and group them into themed clusters on their clipboard . The second part of the session was then dedicated to the sharing of the works done by each group , giving the possibility to every group to add and comment the sticky notes of the others . At the end of the session I personally reviewed in front of the audience the 3 clipboards collected , summing up in large orange sticky notes the insights and patterns of the clusters identified by the participants . Insight The results of the Mind Mapping session were simply eye - opener and allowed us to rethink from scratch the whole Access2Funding value proposition , starting from the role that incubator should have in the fundraising activities of its startups . We were convinced that the incubator , and the Access2Funding team in particular , had to play a role similar to the consultant ’s one , supporting side - by - side the startup team in structuring the materials and the documents needed to its fundraising campaign , reviewing the business strategy ( if needed ) , estimating the right financing need and choosing the typology of capital to raise ( equity , grant or debt ) . On the contrary , Mind Mapping revealed us a reality that was pretty different : our startups want to be “ independent ” during fundraising activities . Our Entrepreneurs want to have full control and continuous visibility on the strategy of the companies they run , and due to the strategic impacts of fundraising choices , they are not willing to externalise these kind of activities to third parties ( incubators included ) , preferring to learn on their own the notions of finance they need , being autonomous in such decisions ( quality that is very appreciated also by investors ) . On the other hand , the session conducted , revealed us some uncovered needs about our clients that we were not able to identify in the past : the incubator should focus on providing basic training about finance and accounting to the incubated startups and instead of the consulting role , the incubator should leverage on its vast network to support the startups through the exploration of the funds , corporates or business angels potentially interested in financing the project , speeding up the whole process . Approach Going back in time , I would diversify the dataset of the what - is phase , integrating the information coming from customer interviews with visual tools and some formal quantitative data . Anyway , Mind Mapping is really a great tool to align the organization around a common understanding of the current reality , helping us removing our own bias and approaching the world through the eyes of the customer . Now that we have successfully identified the insight and pains of our customers , we now possess the right criteria to start re- designing the Access2Funding service .

On the other hand , the session conducted , revealed us some uncovered needs about our clients that we were not able to identify in the past : the incubator should focus on providing basic training about finance and accounting to the incubated startups and instead of the consulting role , the incubator should leverage on its vast network to support the startups through the exploration of the funds , corporates or business angels potentially interested in financing the project , speeding up the whole process . Approach Going back in time , I would diversify the dataset of the what - is phase , integrating the information coming from customer interviews with visual tools and some formal quantitative data . Anyway , Mind Mapping is really a great tool to align the organization around a common understanding of the current reality , helping us removing our own bias and approaching the world through the eyes of the customer . Now that we have successfully identified the insight and pains of our customers , we now possess the right criteria to start re- designing the Access2Funding service . ### Output:

Storytelling tool the tool I used was the storytelling tool . He had to solve the problem that arose when attracting more customers to a family restaurant . The restaurant was not receiving enough customers , so it had to close , so it was decided to apply the Storytelling tool and tell the story of the restaurant . Telling the story was essential for the owners of the restaurant . the goal was to connect with the emotions of future customers . the key is to know how to tell the story of the founding of the restaurant well . a good story had to be told to clients , to keep their attention and deliver good content . the idea was to convey relevant information and content . First , you chose what you wanted to say and when to say it . once this analysis was done , what followed was to communicate it effectively , casually and emotionally The restaurant is focused on families , so telling its story was an advantage , given that the restaurant was founded in 1980 by a Jewish family of emigrants , a series of 1 - minute videos was published on the restaurant 's social networks , where Different family members told the story of the restaurant and how the menu was chosen . The publication of the videos aroused great interest among clients , so the narrative tool was effective . The visualization tool will be applied soon . Our goal will be that through images , customers imagine the history of the restaurant and feel part of the story .

Assignment : Storytelling Challenge & Selection : As a store manager of a fashion brand , I try to use storytelling a lot . I often ask the customers about what story they want to convey through their clothes and what impact they want to make on people . Initially , they seem startled because that is not their usual way of shopping for clothing items but after giving it a thought it makes clear sense to them and they generally open up about it . On the basis of their response , I generate cues as to which sense of fashion they should follow which not only fulfils their goals but also is comfortable to wear . Application : One of the examples is particularly when this woman had to go on a date after years of being divorced . She seemed really worried about the other person judging and her lack of great experience thereof . On opening up about her story , she told me how her ex husband cheated on her and she felt she could never be with anyone again . It took her 7 years to finally start dating again and she was terrified . With all the information , I could gather , I asked her to dress herself in clothes which will highlight her modest and calm nature and specially her new journey that she is on now . She felt extremely happy after looking at it from this point and remains a loyal customer till today . Insight : Well , this technique proved to be extremely helpful and made me realise how important it is to connect with people to the core . Once they feel that the organisation understands them , they are much more confident about the organisation . Approach : I told this story to everyone in the store , and I think it had a big impact on people there . The policies are being re evaluated and the employees are going through new training . Sometimes a little story can do a lot of good .

Example Reflection : Learning Launch Challenge : I work in an organization which involves design and manufacture of racecars . One of the essential areas is aerodynamics . This involves study and modification of airflow around the car . Our work involves design of various parts that would improve the airflow , and use it to have a better performing car . The part design is done by a big group of people , having diverse ideas . Hence , a selection has to be made from the multiple ideas that are generated , based on predefined criteria . Picture : The racecar for 2020 season Selection : We decided to use the ‘ Learning Launch ’ tool covered in this course to help us decide which part would be the best suited . This tool is basically experimentation based out of assumptions . These experiments would then generate data . The data , when analyzed according to the requirements/ criteria , would yield a result for the experiment . We may choose to select or scrap that assumption or modify it . Thus , it is the ‘ What works ’ stage of Design Thinking . Application : We had various designs for a particular part of the car . The criteria for selection was predefined . In order to generate data , each part had to be analyzed using a computer software . The values obtained after analysis were ‘ downforce ’ and ‘ drag ’ . A map of the airflow around the car was also obtained . This data was made available for each prospective part . The selection criteria included cost and feasibility of manufacture , performance gains for the car and reusability . Thus , using the Learning Launch tool , we could decide which part works best for the car . We were able to have an informed decision . We also became aware of the shortcomings in other parts and that became an input for further development . Thus , we realized the ‘ What works ’ part of our design . Insights : Use of the Learning Launch tool as a part of Design Thinking was helpful to ensure that all ideas are analyzed properly and given justice . This is very important in an organization where multiple ideas are generated and a decision has to be made . It also helped us in generating input for the design of new parts , which becomes and additional benefit . Approach : I would aim at including the Visualization tool to the initial stage of the racecar design . The racecar is made up of hundred of parts , and it is important to have a common goal for all departments involved . This tool would help in developing a framework for collaboration between all the mechanisms involved and help in reducing delay .

VISUALIZATION Challenge : In my college time , I took a project titled “ Safety aspects of a vehicle ” . We were basically analysing the all the aspects related to vehicle safety . We took example of normal passenger car to analyse its crashworthiness . We considered all the aspects and parameters related to crash and vehicle collision . I was leading my team . But simple manual calculation of forces and time consideration was not giving the best and realistic results . So we took it as a task to identify the problem and come with a solution for that problem , so that it wo n’t happen in the future . So the challenge for us was to find the exact force and time during the crash and vehicle collision . Selection : To find the exact force and time during collision and crash we had to analyse frontal portion of the vehicle . So the crash testing was basically the testing of frontal crash system , that how much load it can withstand . So I thought of choosing visualisation tool of the complete process and the steps where we were doing the calculation mistakes . So we selected a computer aided design tool to visualise the design and used a computer aided analysis tool to do the structural analysis of the component . We choosed ANSYS software for structural analysis so that we can have a better 3D visualization of the force analysis . Before , we were doing the analysis using manual considerations and not using the actual conditions of the collision because of which every time we were getting the faulty force and time again and again . Application : The visualization tool helped us to find out the exact force and time that act on actual road vehicle collision condition . In ANSYS we did the complete analysis of the frontal portion of the vehicle . This time we calculated the maximum force and time using actual conditions . Then we applied the 3D load on the frontal portion of the vehicle and changed the material used for frontal portion . So material of the frontal portion can withstand the maximum force . The design for the frontal portion was also changed . Then we tested the vehicle crashworthiness by using realistic conditions and it was successfully done . Insight : By applying the visualization tool , I was able to find the exact force and time of the problem in a better way . So my problem solving approach changed from a manual approach to a visualisation approach , which helped me to understand the inactive and active causes of the problem in an organised manner . So the problem was solved in a continuous manner like a KAIZEN process . This tool is helpful for any problems to find the root cause of the problem in a very easy and effective manner once you select the proper visualization tool . Approach : From next time , I will consider all the design related constraints in initial phase itself . So for that the visualization tool is the best option for visualizing the whole process and get the exact force and time without wasting resources and time .

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

The straw man graphic is simple , using simple shapes and icons available in Visio or on the Internet . If the front - stage / back - stage view does n’t work , then I will create a different type of visual , either based on a high - level process flow with swim lanes for different stakeholders , or another format . For the activity , I will divide the stakeholders into groups of 5 - 6 participants each representing a different organization or area of interest . Each group receives a poster - size copy of the straw man graphic that they can write on directly , or use sticky notes to make comments . I give them two - three questions to answer , such as : 1 ) What key elements are missing from the graphic ? 2 ) What would you change about the graphic to make it more accurately reflect your problem space ? 3 ) What key insights do you have about the relationships between the entities in your problem space ? I give them approximately 20 minutes to discuss the questions and mark up the graphic . Then I have each group report out on their answers to those three questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their poster . As each group reports out , I record commonalities in the insights of each group , and then additional insights that come from the group discussion on an additional copy of the graphic . After the session , I digitize each group ’s poster as an artifact , create a view that combines the shared and new insights from the group discussion , and then create a revised graphic that incorporates their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group . Insight & Approach What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that while the graphic – especially the revised graphic that incorporates their feedback – is important for reinforcing their understanding of the problem they are working to solve , the more valuable aspect of the activity is the shared insights and shared learning that occurs while they are working to define their problem space . The graphic gives the diverse group of stakeholders a focal point for discussion that allows them to share their perspectives and develop insights into potential root causes of their problems . While they could create the graphic from a blank slate in a collaborative manner , starting with a straw man jump starts the conversation for them . They can quickly identify where they are in the graphic – or if they are missing – and can more quickly gain new insights about relationships between key entities instead of taking time to identify them . They can also identify variables in the problem space – that is , it helps them to identify what they do n’t know , in what areas they need to obtain information or data to provide the values for the variables . Since I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning , next time I would use the visualization activity as a starting point for a series of design thinking activities . Then the revised graphic that incorporates their combined feedback can serve as a reference tool throughout the remainder of their work . ### Output:

Example Reflection- Visualization Challenge and Selection : I am the CEO and the co - founder for consulting and accounting Services Company , One of my responsibilities is to insure the growth of the company by attracting more clients from different sectors . I believe people can remember graphs and understand them in an easier way than texts and numbers so the tool , which I select , is the visualization tool , I ’m usually use this tool with my clients who are in general have no financial background and it is difficult for them to understand numbers . My clients needs to understand the process of any service which I ’m providing to decide if it is worth to pay money for it . I ’m using graphs , shapes and pictures which explain the process for any financial service from the beginning to end in an easy way to convince my clients to understand the value added of such services . Application : I started the process by drawing a straw man on one white board provided and ask my client who is the director of the company to imagine that he is the straw man , the straw man was surrounded by many pictures- prepared before- such as a picture for invoices , then I asked him to write the current situation for the payment of his invoices . With assistant of his accountant he listed down the process which he is following to pay his outstanding invoices , To make it is easy to explain , I draw a diagram which shows the current process used . Then I explained our process as a consulting company and the enhancement which we can provide to each step . Shapes and graphs was drawn beside the original picture to give more explanation . Then , I moved from this picture to another . By the end of the discussion the white board was full with arrows , Shapes and pictures . Insight and Approach : What I have learned from conducting this exercise is to communicate my ideas in a clear way and share them with others where the graphs will be the focal point between us . I need to practice the visualization skills because documenting the ideas is challenging . Next time I believe that I need to engage more people to discussion to get more feedbacks . I believe that the visualization tool is very powerful tool but I can also combine the story telling tool with it because by that I will create a memorable combination from pictures and stories which will always be easy to remember .

Example Reflection – Visualization Challenge I am a consultant providing interim financial assistance primarily to Fortune 1000 companies during critical times of need . My responsibilities include , but are not limited to , accounting assistance , financial reporting and analysis , accounting research , internal auditing , divestiture support , and special project implementation . I am currently aiding the implementing of new accounting consolidation software at my client . Selection To successfully manage the implementation of new accounting software consolidation , I must think outside the box to transform this complex issue into a practical solution . The most effective way for me to communicate is through visualization . Application The first step in my process was gathering as much data about the organizational structure that I could find so I could gain an understanding of the parent company and all of its subsidiaries , which entities were doing business with one another , and if we needed to eliminate these transactions during the consolidation process . Once I was done gathering all of this data , I found that there were over thirty entities that consolidate into the parent . Each company can easily be identified by a four - digit number . I worked with the legal team to gain an understanding of the business structure . I worked with the accounting department to understand how they were recording transactions between related parties and how they expected the consolidation software to work . I also worked with the IT department to understand their design and logic for the consolidation software . Once I had a good understanding of what needed to be accomplished , I put together a flowchart of how I believed the company wanted the consolidation software to work . I showed the hierarchy of the parent company at the highest level and then all of the subsidiaries with their four - digit identifier and eliminating entities below . I scheduled a meeting with accounting and IT and we walked through my flowchart in detail to understand exactly how the consolidation software needed to be designed . We are currently still in the design phase and will move forward with testing in a few weeks . Insight During the information collecting gathering phases I quickly realized that I was getting lost in the detail and could n’t remember the organizational structure so that ’s when I turned to visualization . As I was having conversations with different business units I was taking notes and using the four - digit numbers to map a hierarchy of the business and eventually designed the flowchart for the company . Approach I learned that visualization was the best tool to use for this project and without putting together a flowchart I do not think this would have been a successful design . During the testing phase of this project I will be incorporating what I learned from the learning launch module to this project .

Reflection on Learning launch Asia Ibrahim , 19.04.2021 Challenge : As a test consultant in a multinational : leader in electronic payment systems , among my main objectives is to ensure the quality of the delivered product , a good product is tested by the customer himself in a pre - production environment and its efficient by the end and respects the customer ’s requirements shared at the beginning of Software development process , we sent to the customer a detailed and ordered mail for the operational features to test them in pre- production with a lot steps to execute by order , to ensure by himself the quality of the product , we noticed by the end that the access to our mails was limited also , the customers did n’t execute all steps especially the mandatory ones and they executed the steps arbitrarily so they founds many of bugs , which directly impacts their satisfaction with the product Selection : As a team we came up with many possibilities to start tackling this issue , but we are uncertain about it , we are launching out there into the unknown , until we decide to adopt the learning launch tool , it was a great idea to save money and time , it allows us to test very quickly whether if we are in the right track or not , and before decisions with big financial impact are done , This tool will help us go through an iterating process that will may improve on our solution or pivot completely our thinking Application : During our first meeting with customers we analyze users stories , and requirements for validity and feasibility , after that we prepare test scenarios using a test management system to manage , plan , run , and report test , each tester for us has his own account in order to access to write test cases , run them and report the final result ( success or fail),our hypothesis was that the text in the mail was too long and people did n’t make effort of reading it through , based on this assumption we decided to create a step plan for customers like the test plan we use on our test management system , our first lunch its was sending a step plan by mail to our customers to follow the steps and execute the tests , we were hoping to see a lot of people clicking through to the step plan but the click was very low ; Our second launch was to create for each customer his account to access to our test management system , and send the link by mail , once the customer clicks on the link he has access to the test plan , because our assumption was that customers considered this mails as spam , the link is automatically sent to the customer once his account has been created , the result was satisfactory , customers were visiting the test plan , execute the steps because our tool offers a great IHM and they import /export test results , , generate a test report , see the test coverage Once the customer finds a bug , he writes us an email to report the problem but without a detailed description of the issue , so we decide to create for each customer an account on our bug tracking system to make them reporting the issue and link the test case to the ticket containing the bug description , we received automatically a notification about the all process The final result was great , the customer executes the test plan , report the issue once found and see the test coverage , their feedback was great and that help us to improve software quality . Insight : By applying the learning tool , we designed and tested our solutions . Through the learning process we got to improve our process and communication with customers , it is through this process we realized that the customers were more comfortable with the step plan in a whole a sophisticated tool , implemented this process helped us save time and deliver sprints faster Approach : The learning launch is the appropriate tool for our business . We need as a team to review the insight gained from our first two launches and incorporate this insight into future launch designs as this is the most effective and ideal way of approaching and implementing solutions , this process has been adopted by the company and applied to all of the projects

VISUALIZATION Challenge and Selection For this challenge I will use the visualization tool as it is a key component to achieve proper communication , which is essential in any company , especially in the marketing team as they need to develop innovation for future projects that are focused on the custumer centricity that is practically to understand our consumers , this tool will allow us to think of possibilities not previously seen in the company team , With it we will be able to put into practice our capacity of creativity , at the same time that we achieve the harmony of the group on the idea that we have and the most important is that we use it in each part of a process or processes that we carry out , the marketing team has as objective that the projects are more creative and will depend on it the progress of the projects . Application Well , to start using this tool the first step is to divide the team into three groups of 4 people each group will make a scheme on what they understand about custumer centricity and they will have to explain it to each other , once concluded they will have to make a single drawing that represents for the whole group what they understand about custumer centricity and this drawing will be presented to the other groups explaining why the creation of said drawing . Once the whole team has finished , they will have to show me a presentation where they will explain what it is , the importance , advantages , disadvantages , solution options and alternatives of the custumer centriacity but all this will be explained with images either created or from the Internet . In this way you will get me to interpret your visualization and so we can be in tune and give a better resolution to the problems and projects of this concept . Later we will hold a meeting where we brainstorm ideas on how we can get closer to our consumers , we can explain these ideas with the help of drawings ona sheet and select the most interesting to put into practice , We will also conduct surveys with our consumers using the visualization tool as well so that these are not only verbal but through images can identify how they feel about certain situations in their daily lives when using and not using certain products . Insight and Approach The fact that each group made a scheme representing what they understand about the custumer centricity allowed each member of each team to think and visualize as their other partner does , thus beginning to achieve a communication between the team . Then when we made the presentation where they explained with images the points I asked for we were able to perceive the ideas and concepts in a visual way allowing us to create our own visualization , although considering it in this part we could also have included the narration tool to make the presentation clearer and more effective . Then by representing our brainstorming with drawings we achieved that the ideas flowed ina better way and creating more innovative ideas and finally the visual surveys managed to make our consumers do it ina more efficient and easy way where at the same time they could express their opinion and feeling regarding the products . This tool definitely helped us to take another approach and achieve a better way of expression and communication , making the work much more dynamic and feasible .

Once the whole team has finished , they will have to show me a presentation where they will explain what it is , the importance , advantages , disadvantages , solution options and alternatives of the custumer centriacity but all this will be explained with images either created or from the Internet . In this way you will get me to interpret your visualization and so we can be in tune and give a better resolution to the problems and projects of this concept . Later we will hold a meeting where we brainstorm ideas on how we can get closer to our consumers , we can explain these ideas with the help of drawings ona sheet and select the most interesting to put into practice , We will also conduct surveys with our consumers using the visualization tool as well so that these are not only verbal but through images can identify how they feel about certain situations in their daily lives when using and not using certain products . Insight and Approach The fact that each group made a scheme representing what they understand about the custumer centricity allowed each member of each team to think and visualize as their other partner does , thus beginning to achieve a communication between the team . Then when we made the presentation where they explained with images the points I asked for we were able to perceive the ideas and concepts in a visual way allowing us to create our own visualization , although considering it in this part we could also have included the narration tool to make the presentation clearer and more effective . Then by representing our brainstorming with drawings we achieved that the ideas flowed ina better way and creating more innovative ideas and finally the visual surveys managed to make our consumers do it ina more efficient and easy way where at the same time they could express their opinion and feeling regarding the products . This tool definitely helped us to take another approach and achieve a better way of expression and communication , making the work much more dynamic and feasible . ### Output:

Storytelling Challenge & Selection I am currently pursuing MBA . We study many business case studies and are required to present these problems and its solutions in the class room . Given the constraints that these problems are complex and the time we are allotted to present our solutions is limited , it is necessary to communicate the problem in concise and simple manner which everyone can understand . I have been using the storytelling technique to present the summary and solution of the problem . After coming up with a relevant solution , I spend a lot of time on developing a narrative to explain it . I try to identify the problem through the eyes of a character and what mindset does the character has to deal with the problem . Application I start working on a story after I have reached the optimum solution . I try to visualize the problem in real time and write about it from the perspective of a customer or manager . I have realized that it helps to understand and explain the problem better when you have a person ’s point of view of looking at it . Giving the problem a human touch helps to connect better with the problem . Sometimes I incorporate the ‘ six thinking hats ’ technique by Edward de Bono into my story telling to explain different point of views of looking at the problem and its solution . After developing a structured narrative , I practice it in front of a friend or mirror before presenting it in the classroom . This is an important process which helps me to make an impactful storytelling experience . During the practice session , I work on the flow of the story , voice modulation and body language while delivering the story . I highly recommend to try this for any presentation of speech you want to deliver at any platform . Insight & Approach I have always enjoyed TED talks . The speakers are able to explain with ease the complex topics to a diverse audience group . Now , after I implemented the storytelling technique in my presentations , I have come to know of the power of it . It was an eye - opener for me . The students are able to easily understand the problem and stay engaged with me during the presentation . I am able to explain my thoughts better through this mode and the students are able to connect with the case study . This have become even more important in the current situation where we have to present on virtual platform . It is important to make the presentation lively and interesting to stay connected with the students . This course made me see this as a tool in a new way . Earlier , I used to do it in informally and in an ad - hoc manner , but now I can prepare ahead and think of stories that will assist me in presenting my ideas and best illuminate them .

Learning Launch Challenge : Working in a Consulting Domain is always challenging and a great learning experience . Traditionally consultants are considered to be the people who look at clients ’ watch and tell the time and someone who just suggests while the implementation and realization is to be the headache of the clients . And the industry majority of times believes that whatever consultants suggest is theoretical and are n’t practically possible . To make believe the clients that the suggestions can be implemented there is need to implement them in order to validate the basic assumptions and build on them . For one of my clients who has undertaken an intra- preneurship project and who wanted us to strategize & test the whole assumption / basis for the project . Selection : Using the Design thinking tools was necessary for ensuring that maximum value is delivered to the client . Learning Launch has become a crucial tool for us to test the assumptions and ensure the success of the client . By creating a MVP the assumptions cab easily be tested and provide confidence to the clients and the solution adoption by the end users can be simplified . Application : For a client who was an industry leader in logistics has started a new business and was working on strategizing the approach to go to market and finalize on the technology platform to be used to run the business . They have solicited my help in testing business strategy and implementing the technology platform for running the daily operations . To test the strategy and provide technology solution for the same Learning Launch was the best tool . Approach : For the Learning Launch , first the requirements / assumptions have been discussed and finalized . To use the Learning to launch tool a core team was formed with domain experts , business process owners and users . Once the list of the requirements / assumptions have been finalized these are prioritized with inputs from the core team and the CXOs . In order to test the top priority assumptions a solution platform was first selected which has all the features needed to test the assumptions and is scalable considering the future requirements and best in class processes to be implemented in the future . Once the technology platform is selected , the next step was to realize the requirements of the business , test the solution and deploy it so that the assumptions can be tested in the real world scenarios . Testing the assumptions happens when the wheels are on road . The users are trained to use the solution , the solution just had a basic provision to capture the customer demand , refer to the existing customer contracts , manual assignment of resources to the customer orders and invoicing the customer was implemented . With this solution in place the business assumptions , user & customer based assumptions were tested and the strategy and technology solution were revised based on the feedback received . Insights : It was understood that the customers wanted to get an application to enter order directly into the Logistic service providers ’ system referring to the existing contracts . Also , the resource allocation is identified to be pain point of the business and is the heart of the business . The solution was further improved to meet these requirements and thus value is delivered to the client and their customers .

Reflection – Visualization Background I recently started working at an Affiliate Marketing based Startup ( people earn a commission every time someone buys via the shopping link that they shared with them ) . The users are divided into 5 ‘ categories ’ based on the ‘ transactions ’ that happen via their links : A1 : 0 - 10 transactions , A2 : 10 - 30 , A3 : 30 - 50 , A4 : 50- 100 , Influencers : 100 + . The focus is placed on the A4 and Influencer categories because it is assumed that cashback / commission earning will remain a niche market in India for at least some time and hence the objective should be to become the extensive sharers ’ favorite deal site . The challenge with focusing solely on deal sharers is that any change in the commission rates impacts them substantially and hence our commission rates vis a vis our competitors is what determines our standing . Further , the commission rates can be pushed up / down only by a small margin . This has led to a situation where most deal sites appear strikingly similar . It is a daily struggle to keep our best customers from jumping ship . Challenge As a newcomer in the field ( I graduated in Philosophy ) , I could sense outright a stiffness in these assumptions . It seemed like we were playing in too short a lane . Without much expertise and a clearly defined problem , I had no option but to start with gaining an understanding of our users . I decided to focus only on A1 , A2 , A3 , and A4 . I also added an ‘ A0 ’ category : people who never shop via shared links ( I picked people from my own office for this . ) Tool Selection : With some help from my manager , I started off with a rough plan : in - depth interviewing of 2 people from each category , and instead of making over - simplified , discrete conclusions like our Customer Relations team , I will try to ‘ connect ’ the individual interviews to generate insights . I would use ‘ Visualization ’ and a bit of ‘ Mind Mapping ’ to synthesize this wide information . Tool approach and application : In an attempt to gain unique insights , interviews were loosely structured . I transferred each interview onto a whiteboard , with every piece of key information acting as a ‘ chunk ’ and then forcing myself to ‘ link ’ these different chunks . I would go back to ask specific questions until each interview seemed sufficiently connected . ( Example : In A1 , ‘ Amit shares the very first shopping link that he came across ’ was ‘ linked ’ to him having a basic mobile on which he could n’t explore all the options , and not to the fact that ‘ our users are only interested in sharing the best deal overall ’ as our Customers Team had always concluded ) We already knew that most of our users were students in the age group of 18 - 24 looking for alternate / easy sources of income and that all shared roughly the same number of links per day ( 3 - 4 ) and shared on the same platform : WhatsApp , except A4 ( which also shared on Telegram ) . The interviews revealed that the real differentiator was the ‘ time and energy invested ’ , A1 users were simply sharing links , without modification , mostly in generic WhatsApp groups , whereas people in A2 , A3 , A4 customized their sharing links for individuals ( example : sharing a link of sunglasses with a friend obsessed with them ) . Further , there were clear differences in the online presence of the categories . Most in A4 had a substantial online presence ( regular posting of articles and news accompanied by lengthy personal opinions ) . They were also very active on LinkedIn . They were the ‘ Advice givers ’ . Each category had a ‘ Persona ’ . The Visualization process led me to conclude that A1 users were simply not considered an authority on deals . On the other hand , A4 users were good recommenders , they seemed genuinely interested in passing on the best deal to a particular person . “ We need to trust the source ” was my one - liner insight . Now , this needed to make sense in relation to the company ’s model , goals , resources , etc . Everything was brought together ; the printouts of their social media , the company ’s vision statement , the competitors ’ website , the screenshots of shared links , etc . I concluded that it would n’t be wise to make big changes based on these ‘ personas ’ because we simply did n’t have enough data , but we could use this insight to gradually change our brand- narrative because no data can alter humans ’ psychological need for reliance and authority . Since we could n’t predict , decide , or alter the authority wielded by the ‘ link sharers ’ , we could ourselves become the ‘ authority ’ on the best deals . This would do two things , first , it would allow us to step out of the rat - race of commission rates because all that matters to the end - users is a good product with a good discount . Second , it will reduce our reliance on one category and hence give us a larger room than our competitors . Rather than a major overhaul , I decided to focus on the message that the end - user receives with the shared link on WhatsApp . Since there was n’t much scope for changing the core text , I came up with a simple idea of a ‘ certified logo ’ , a ‘ seal of authority ’ which would be fixed on every product ’s image on our site . I quickly photoshopped several variations and did a quick survey , which included people from all categories , office employees and their families and friends . As expected , it was unanimously agreed that the logo made the link look more trustworthy and enticing . This logo was introduced on a few of our products in March , but due to the COVID-19 pandemic , most retailers have paused their operations with us , meaning the true impact of this change remains to be tested . We are utilizing this time to work around the logo , doing in - house surveys regarding other changes that can be made , doing the technical work required to introduce the logo on every product , etc . Insight : If I were to re - do this project , I would have started with the better understanding of ‘ What is ’ , I would have utilized ‘ journey mapping ’ quite early on the project , that would have allowed me to skip some steps , and I would have also paid more heed to my gut instinct , thought of myself as a sample user . I could have done a better job at documenting the process and by clearly defining deadlines and goals , this might have allowed us to launch the project just in time . What this project revealed to me is that Design Thinking is really nothing more than systematically revealing the simplest nugget of truth which we all ignore in favor of our complex fabricated assumptions and solutions .

Coursera course “ Design Thinking for Innovation ” by University of Virginia . Submission for peer - graded assignment . Done on 1 March 2020 . Reflections on design thinking tool visualization Challenge Seeing is believing or a picture speaks a thousand words . Those common sayings are also true in a business context . I ’m working in a change team in a global bank and I know , visualizing is key to help stakeholders understand a problem and also help the to be able to create possible solutions . Projects that we conduct may be about how to improve processes like how to onboard new clients faster to the bank . During such projects , we face the following challenges : 1 ) The current state of the process must be described by the involved persons and written down in a form everyone understands it ; 2 ) current shortcomings of the process including pain points must be identified and 3 ) the client needs and how he or she experiences the process must be clear to everyone so that the group can think of an ideal future way how the onboarding process can be simplified . Selection Visualization has been proven to be an effective tool for us in the design of new and improved processes . We found that a visualization of the current process on the wall is the right method to understand the current process , discuss shortcomings and pain points and also lead discussions how the ideal future state process might look like . Application It ’s important that we first understand the current state . With “ we ” I ’m not only referring to the change team but also to everybody involved in the process . Everybody should know what they are actually doing . Conducting a workshop with all parties involved , where we walk through an example client onboarding is an efficient approach . We book a large meeting room where we can use the walls as drawing boards and canvas . If needed , we stick brown paper on the walls , so we can draw directly on it . We make sure , we find an appropriate slot where representatives of all the involved parties have time and we invite them to a workshop . During the workshop we then take a concrete onboarding example and the persons in the room explain what they ’re doing during this process . On the go , we would then stick pictures of the involved persons ( client , branch manager , etc . ) on the wall . Also the required documents during the onboarding ( like account opening forms ) will be represented by sticky notes . By looking at this visualization on the wall people can relate to their everyday situation . They will remember problems and pain points that led to suboptimal onboarding experiences for the clients . Those points will also be added to the visualization . When workshop participants are explaining a concrete situation , they can show it directly on the picture , where the difficulties occurred . This makes it easier for everybody to follow . By moving sticky notes that represent documents or approver flows , complications in the process are shown and understood by everyone . This hands - on visualization will also trigger new ideas how the process can be simplified . By directly removing unneeded steps , the workshop participants see , how the new process looks like and also if there are further challenges involved . Insight In my personal experience I found that the following points are important : • The right representation and expertise needs to be in the room : Participants need to have enough expertise to contribute to the current state process . It ’s also important , that everyone has time and the freedom to speak up . It should n’t be that junior members are afraid to share their ideas just because more senior members are blocking those thoughts . • The host of the workshop needs to ensure that the group stays focussed . The client views and needs must be the driving force . Other topics that are not relevant for the current discussion should be assigned to a parking lot . • The more hands - on the workshop and the visualization is , the better . From my experience it ’s also recommended to bring the visualization on the wall into a format that can be used later . This can be done by drawing it on a sheet of paper and scanning it so it can be shared with everyone after the workshop . Approach Beside conducting such workshops where we visualize processes , we also tested other approaches . Conducting interviews just with one person at the time is an approach that gives more insights for a detailed aspect . In contrast , missing on the collective wisdom of the whole workshop group and by not visualizing the process , can lead to missing links when we try to understand the process end - to - end . Also the solution finding works better when more persons are involved and can relate to a visual representation of the complete process . A less successful way is also just to ask senior managers or so called experts who are designing a process top - down . This will just give a theoretical view of the situation and an unusable approach . It ’s immanent that people who know the situation on the ground are involved in the process design . Conclusion In my experience in a change team in a global bank , I achieved very good results by applying the design thinking tool visualization in my workshops . This allowed me to lead discussions how a future process should look like in order to deliver value for the clients .

Submission for peer - graded assignment . Done on 1 March 2020 . Reflections on design thinking tool visualization Challenge Seeing is believing or a picture speaks a thousand words . Those common sayings are also true in a business context . I ’m working in a change team in a global bank and I know , visualizing is key to help stakeholders understand a problem and also help the to be able to create possible solutions . Projects that we conduct may be about how to improve processes like how to onboard new clients faster to the bank . During such projects , we face the following challenges : 1 ) The current state of the process must be described by the involved persons and written down in a form everyone understands it ; 2 ) current shortcomings of the process including pain points must be identified and 3 ) the client needs and how he or she experiences the process must be clear to everyone so that the group can think of an ideal future way how the onboarding process can be simplified . Selection Visualization has been proven to be an effective tool for us in the design of new and improved processes . We found that a visualization of the current process on the wall is the right method to understand the current process , discuss shortcomings and pain points and also lead discussions how the ideal future state process might look like . Application It ’s important that we first understand the current state . With “ we ” I ’m not only referring to the change team but also to everybody involved in the process . Everybody should know what they are actually doing . Conducting a workshop with all parties involved , where we walk through an example client onboarding is an efficient approach . We book a large meeting room where we can use the walls as drawing boards and canvas . If needed , we stick brown paper on the walls , so we can draw directly on it . We make sure , we find an appropriate slot where representatives of all the involved parties have time and we invite them to a workshop . During the workshop we then take a concrete onboarding example and the persons in the room explain what they ’re doing during this process . On the go , we would then stick pictures of the involved persons ( client , branch manager , etc . ) on the wall . Also the required documents during the onboarding ( like account opening forms ) will be represented by sticky notes . By looking at this visualization on the wall people can relate to their everyday situation . They will remember problems and pain points that led to suboptimal onboarding experiences for the clients . Those points will also be added to the visualization . When workshop participants are explaining a concrete situation , they can show it directly on the picture , where the difficulties occurred . This makes it easier for everybody to follow . By moving sticky notes that represent documents or approver flows , complications in the process are shown and understood by everyone . This hands - on visualization will also trigger new ideas how the process can be simplified . By directly removing unneeded steps , the workshop participants see , how the new process looks like and also if there are further challenges involved . Insight In my personal experience I found that the following points are important : • The right representation and expertise needs to be in the room : Participants need to have enough expertise to contribute to the current state process . It ’s also important , that everyone has time and the freedom to speak up . It should n’t be that junior members are afraid to share their ideas just because more senior members are blocking those thoughts . • The host of the workshop needs to ensure that the group stays focussed . The client views and needs must be the driving force . Other topics that are not relevant for the current discussion should be assigned to a parking lot . • The more hands - on the workshop and the visualization is , the better . From my experience it ’s also recommended to bring the visualization on the wall into a format that can be used later . This can be done by drawing it on a sheet of paper and scanning it so it can be shared with everyone after the workshop . Approach Beside conducting such workshops where we visualize processes , we also tested other approaches . Conducting interviews just with one person at the time is an approach that gives more insights for a detailed aspect . In contrast , missing on the collective wisdom of the whole workshop group and by not visualizing the process , can lead to missing links when we try to understand the process end - to - end . Also the solution finding works better when more persons are involved and can relate to a visual representation of the complete process . A less successful way is also just to ask senior managers or so called experts who are designing a process top - down .

Challenge and description I was working with hair oil brand in my region and we were expected to design an advertisement that would attract the younger audience . The team found it difficult to appeal the younger generation for hair oil as the women had to started to feel more inclined towards shorter hair and found oiled hair old school . This perception has to be effaced for us to position the brand . The struggle was on how to address this population and position the product in a way it appeals the modern ideas of identity . The growing dislike and disinterest towards long oiled hair was a stigma that was socially constructed and could pose huge threat to the sustainability of the product . Selection and Application We started doing a small market research wherein we struck conversations with women who were working , confident and aspirational and most important had long hair . It was to capture their story and understand the narrative . Each of them narrated their experience and brought out different moments in their journey of nurturing long hair . It all had lot to articulate to a generation struggling to fit into the modern world through a narrowly defined identity . These women spoke of blending their traditions and modern values of empowerment without compromising on their ‘ old school ’ liking for oiled long hair . We used these stories the develop a new idea and made them narrate their experiences of how they found their place in the world . Insight and approach Story telling helped in building the brand image and equity . The appeal and connect to the customer base got augmented through the same . As mentioned in the second module , the story telling becomes an instrumental tool to make an emotional appeal and provide a macro level purpose . The product and the brand were enhanced to address a bigger purpose . Thus , we designed the advertisement in a way that the stories the women narrated were captured completely to ensure that the target audience related . We made them a part of the advertisement and made the testimonials a strong promotional tool . Their initial struggle of being a part of a very small group of working women with long hair was highlighted . And then we drew attention on how they chose not to give up their love for long hair and decided to nurture and care for their hair . These women were shown in the current status and the successful careers they had earned was further emphasised on .

Example Reflection : Learning Launch Challenge COVID-19 season has presented a myriad of challenges especially in the economic sphere . I was made aware of the predicament of casual labourers , mostly women who throng middle and high class settlements for menial jobs of house cleaning and laundry for a daily living . When COVID- 19 happened , these jobs were no more . Many households stayed away from such hirings due to the fear of exposure since the workers come from crowded informal settlements and believed to be more exposed . Other than this , there have been instances where such workers upon hire steal from their employers since there is seldom time for background checks to ascertain their integrity levels . In a bid to address this discrepancy since the menial workers need their daily bread while the middle and high class dwellers need this service , I have an idea to work on a one - stop platform that carries due diligence including checking on criminal records of people seeking homemaking jobs , a feedback channel with ratings of previous works , payment platform and those who need the service . My immediate thought is to create a digital platform . However , given that parties to be featured will require a proper gadget and funds to get them online so as to be able to connect with their potential clients / service providers . My assumption from conversation I have held with some of the targeted is that this will provide a lasting solution about the workers finding continuous jobs and home owners banking on the system to guarantee safety of their households and good service at a fee . Selection I settle on learning launch enables me to test the target audience , my execution plan and confirm or dispel my assumptions . The users are readily available in my environment so reaching out to them comes at no cost . I already built a rapport with them since I have been fundraising and gifting a number of them with care / food packs . Application My idea is still in the formation stage . But having heard from Luis Ramirez , I got an aha ! moment . I now know I can test to confirm or disconfirm my data and make an informed decision of next steps as illustrated in the following diagram ; Insight and Approach My greatest insight from Luis Ramirez is that I have to do an experiment . I am going to test my idea to again , either confirm or disconfirm my data . I do not have to invest so much seed money , time and effort only to end up with a failed project . No . I am going to get out there and address my “ confirmation bias . ” Before this course , I knew mine is the greatest idea . Luis Ramirez has woken me from that slumber . I am going to engage both the workers and those who need the services to understand what my target ’s real need is and not the assumed needs , and discuss out with them what they think could be the most appropriate solution , share my presumed execution and defensibility plan so as to find a point of convergence . I have to “ confirm my facts ” to gain the confidence that my idea is worth continuing with . The diagram below ably describes it ; I am excited !

Challenges I am a member of human resources department , facing the challenges for the upskilling the workforce to meet the future of work for digital transformation . Our Clients have more demanding , they mostly in the digital age and they would like the insurer to change into digital as well . We have the clear vision and mission for digital transformation , and we need to upskilling the current workforce to start aware , then trained to meet the future work requirement , as it is less costly than hiring all the talents we need externally . Selections I have used the tool of Storytelling to put our employee and their experience front and center , and listen to them along their learning journey . Employees are busy with their current schedule and sometimes need to prioritize the learning to close the skill gaps for the current role , so they are under pressure and struggle to have time for upskilling . So they need to have the awareness and then being empowered to have the intentional learning skill . I have spent a lot of time speaking with them and finding ways to inspire them to start learning . I use their feedback against the context of my story to better understand their interest and thought processes . I use these information to develop different strategies to try and find a way that works for them so that they start learning to well - prepared them for the future works . Application I have a story about using Storytelling . In discussing the new digital transformation strategy and what changes in the work and the way we work , I was trying to let the employees recognized that there were a lot of new concepts/ terminologies , but the time for being ready to implement new way of working will come very soon as other countries in the Asia regions had started , and it will be few months our country would be the next country to implement digital projects . I have tried to divide the employees into several groups and having the appropriate learning targets for each of the groups . For the seniors leaders , they need to embrace the changes toward digital transformation and just need - to - know about new ways of working so that they can support and empower the team . For the employees who will be involve in digital projects , they will need to be trained so that they can work in agile team . For the rest of the organization , we need them to be aware of the changes , so their learning should be simple so that they can be inspired . We have the Town Hall to share the stories to the mass , and workshops to share the stories to leaders . Insight During a workshop , there is a leader who said that he is too busy to learn . I have asked him to share his opinions and recognize that there are too many new concepts/ terminologies so that he ca n’t understand and link to the goals for digital transformation objectives that we are aiming to . I have thanked him and recognize that learning speed and capability will be different by each person , and we need to give them the right timeline for completing the learning . In addition , I realize that our company need to give employees time for upskilling , so I have taken note and plan to discuss the idea of learning hour with our CEO .

MIAMISBURG , Ohio , Dec. 10 , 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Verso Corporation ( NYSE : VRS ) ( " Verso " or the " Company " ) today announced that the Board has nominated Dr. Robert K. Beckler , and Dr. Beckler has agreed to be nominated , as a director at the Annual Meeting . In connection with this nomination , each of Alan Carr and Gene Davis , the Co - Chairmen of the Company 's Board of Directors ( the " Board " ) , has notified the Board that they will not stand for re - election at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on January 21 , 2020 ( the " Annual Meeting " ) . The Company expects to announce an additional director nominee for the Annual Meeting on or prior to December 17 , 2019 . Dr. Beckler is a seasoned paper industry executive and consultant and has served in several leadership roles , including as President , Packaging Solutions , of WestRock Company from July 2015 until his retirement in July 2016 and as an Executive Vice President and President of Packaging of MeadWestvaco Corporation from January 2014 to June 2015 . Dr. Beckler was nominated by the Board 's Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee ( the " Nominating Committee " ) based upon his executive and operating leadership in the industry , manufacturing experience and educational background . Steven Scheiwe , who is anticipated to succeed Mr. Carr and Mr. Davis as Chairman of the Board following the Annual Meeting stated , " We are very pleased to nominate Dr. Beckler for election to the Board . He brings a wealth of paper industry experience and will bring strategic guidance that I am confident will benefit the Company and contribute to its future successes . With today 's nomination and the additional nominee we expect to announce next week , the majority of Verso 's board will be composed of seasoned industry experts . Alan and Gene have been tremendous assets to the Board and to the Company and exceedingly helpful in conducting our extensive search for qualified and independent director nominees with relevant industry expertise . Their contributions have been too many to count and I want to thank each of them . We are truly grateful for their service , leadership and selflessness . " Mr. Carr and Mr. Davis jointly stated , " It has been both an honor and a pleasure to co - chair the Company 's Board of Directors . We are extremely proud of our management team , particularly the well - earned promotion of Adam St. John , Chief Executive Officer , the addition of Nancy Taylor and Randy Nebel to the Board , the nomination of Dr. Beckler to the Board , and , importantly , our strategic review process , the result of which has led to the pending sale of two of the Company 's mills to Pixelle Specialty Solutions LLC for a purchase price of $ 400 million , subject to post - closing adjustments , and a debt - free , streamlined company that will be attractively positioned to take advantage of future opportunities as they may arise . " Mr. Carr and Mr. Davis ' determination to not stand for re - election was made , in part , in light of the competing director slate proposed by Atlas Holdings LLC , Blue Wolf Capital Advisors , IV , LLC and Lapetus Capital II LLC and their respective affiliates ( collectively , " ABW " ) , and not as a result of any disagreement with the Company or any matter relating to the Company 's operations , policies or practices . " We believe that ABW , spurned bidders that have made several attempts to own or control the Company , have chosen to pursue a proxy fight in order to further their continued efforts to obtain control of the Company and its prospects . We have many significant stockholders and Atlas ' demands are unfair to them , indeed , all of our stockholders , and defy accepted corporate governance standards under law and as published by proxy advisory firms . In order to mitigate the waste of time , expense and distraction to the Company , each of us has determined to withdraw our name for consideration of re - election . With our newly refreshed Board and Board nominee slate , comprised of highly qualified candidates with diverse skill sets and devoid of conflict , we are confident that the best interests of our stockholders are being and will be well - served , " said Messrs. Carr and Davis . ABW 's substantial prior history with the Company includes ABW 's unsolicited premium cash bid for the acquisition of all of the Company 's Stock in December 2017 , which was followed by active but protracted negotiations over a six - month period . During negotiations , ABW made multiple material amendments to their bid , including changes to the proposed amounts and forms of consideration , and changes to the proposed transaction structure . Among other things , ABW amended the form of consideration so as to include , the contribution of their privately held portfolio company , Twin Rivers Paper Company . By June 2018 , the Company 's common stock price had increased and was materially higher than the value of ABW 's then proposed purchase price and negotiations stalled . In July 2018 , ABW requested that that the Company relieve ABW of its previously agreed upon customary standstill obligations , so as to enable ABW to make open market purchases of the Company 's common stock . That request was denied . Following the expiration of the customary standstill provision , ABW increased its ownership and , in 2019 , made several acquisition proposals to the Company , including an arguably coercive tender proposal for 50.2 % of the Company 's outstanding stock and a proposal to make a preferred investment coupled with board representation . The Company advised ABW that it was prepared to engage in renewed discussions with ABW , provided that ABW execute a new confidentiality agreement with a customary standstill , which ABW refused to do . On September 20 , 2019 , ABW filed a Schedule 13D , which was subsequently amended in October and December . On December 5 , 2019 , ABW filed a preliminary proxy statement setting forth three director nominees for election at the Annual Meeting , each of which the Board had previously interviewed and declined to include on the Company 's slate of director nominees . On December 8 , 2019 , the Board proposed to ABW to nominate two of ABW 's director nominees to the Company 's slate , subject to a cooperation agreement , containing , among other things , a customary standstill provision . ABW responded to such proposal by requesting , among other things : the immediate appointment of two ABW nominees to the Board and chairmanship of the Nominating Committee ; material revisions to the proposed customary standstill that would have allowed ABW to enter into voting arrangements , form 13(d ) groups , acquire additional stock , make proposals or statements with respect to business combinations or other type of transactions ; shortening of the proposed standstill period from June 30 , 2021 to December 31 , 2020 ; reimbursement of $ 700,000 of expenses ; substantial revisions to confidentiality provisions designed to protect Company information ; and an indemnity for any trading in the Company stock by ABW .

Beckler , and Dr. Beckler has agreed to be nominated , as a director at the Annual Meeting . In connection with this nomination , each of Alan Carr and Gene Davis , the Co - Chairmen of the Company 's Board of Directors ( the " Board " ) , has notified the Board that they will not stand for re - election at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on January 21 , 2020 ( the " Annual Meeting " ) . The Company expects to announce an additional director nominee for the Annual Meeting on or prior to December 17 , 2019 . Dr. Beckler is a seasoned paper industry executive and consultant and has served in several leadership roles , including as President , Packaging Solutions , of WestRock Company from July 2015 until his retirement in July 2016 and as an Executive Vice President and President of Packaging of MeadWestvaco Corporation from January 2014 to June 2015 . Dr. Beckler was nominated by the Board 's Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee ( the " Nominating Committee " ) based upon his executive and operating leadership in the industry , manufacturing experience and educational background . Steven Scheiwe , who is anticipated to succeed Mr. Carr and Mr. Davis as Chairman of the Board following the Annual Meeting stated , " We are very pleased to nominate Dr. Beckler for election to the Board . He brings a wealth of paper industry experience and will bring strategic guidance that I am confident will benefit the Company and contribute to its future successes . With today 's nomination and the additional nominee we expect to announce next week , the majority of Verso 's board will be composed of seasoned industry experts . Alan and Gene have been tremendous assets to the Board and to the Company and exceedingly helpful in conducting our extensive search for qualified and independent director nominees with relevant industry expertise . Their contributions have been too many to count and I want to thank each of them . We are truly grateful for their service , leadership and selflessness . " Mr. Carr and Mr. Davis jointly stated , " It has been both an honor and a pleasure to co - chair the Company 's Board of Directors . We are extremely proud of our management team , particularly the well - earned promotion of Adam St. John , Chief Executive Officer , the addition of Nancy Taylor and Randy Nebel to the Board , the nomination of Dr. Beckler to the Board , and , importantly , our strategic review process , the result of which has led to the pending sale of two of the Company 's mills to Pixelle Specialty Solutions LLC for a purchase price of $ 400 million , subject to post - closing adjustments , and a debt - free , streamlined company that will be attractively positioned to take advantage of future opportunities as they may arise . " Mr. Carr and Mr. Davis ' determination to not stand for re - election was made , in part , in light of the competing director slate proposed by Atlas Holdings LLC , Blue Wolf Capital Advisors , IV , LLC and Lapetus Capital II LLC and their respective affiliates ( collectively , " ABW " ) , and not as a result of any disagreement with the Company or any matter relating to the Company 's operations , policies or practices . " We believe that ABW , spurned bidders that have made several attempts to own or control the Company , have chosen to pursue a proxy fight in order to further their continued efforts to obtain control of the Company and its prospects . We have many significant stockholders and Atlas ' demands are unfair to them , indeed , all of our stockholders , and defy accepted corporate governance standards under law and as published by proxy advisory firms . In order to mitigate the waste of time , expense and distraction to the Company , each of us has determined to withdraw our name for consideration of re - election . With our newly refreshed Board and Board nominee slate , comprised of highly qualified candidates with diverse skill sets and devoid of conflict , we are confident that the best interests of our stockholders are being and will be well - served , " said Messrs. Carr and Davis . ABW 's substantial prior history with the Company includes ABW 's unsolicited premium cash bid for the acquisition of all of the Company 's Stock in December 2017 , which was followed by active but protracted negotiations over a six - month period . During negotiations , ABW made multiple material amendments to their bid , including changes to the proposed amounts and forms of consideration , and changes to the proposed transaction structure . Among other things , ABW amended the form of consideration so as to include , the contribution of their privately held portfolio company , Twin Rivers Paper Company . By June 2018 , the Company 's common stock price had increased and was materially higher than the value of ABW 's then proposed purchase price and negotiations stalled . In July 2018 , ABW requested that that the Company relieve ABW of its previously agreed upon customary standstill obligations , so as to enable ABW to make open market purchases of the Company 's common stock . That request was denied . Following the expiration of the customary standstill provision , ABW increased its ownership and , in 2019 , made several acquisition proposals to the Company , including an arguably coercive tender proposal for 50.2 % of the Company 's outstanding stock and a proposal to make a preferred investment coupled with board representation . The Company advised ABW that it was prepared to engage in renewed discussions with ABW , provided that ABW execute a new confidentiality agreement with a customary standstill , which ABW refused to do . On September 20 , 2019 , ABW filed a Schedule 13D , which was subsequently amended in October and December . On December 5 , 2019 , ABW filed a preliminary proxy statement setting forth three director nominees for election at the Annual Meeting , each of which the Board had previously interviewed and declined to include on the Company 's slate of director nominees . On December 8 , 2019 , the Board proposed to ABW to nominate two of ABW 's director nominees to the Company 's slate , subject to a cooperation agreement , containing , among other things , a customary standstill provision . ABW responded to such proposal by requesting , among other things : the immediate appointment of two ABW nominees to the Board and chairmanship of the Nominating Committee ; material revisions to the proposed customary standstill that would have allowed ABW to enter into voting arrangements , form 13(d ) groups , acquire additional stock , make proposals or statements with respect to business combinations or other type of transactions ; shortening of the proposed standstill period from June 30 , 2021 to December 31 , 2020 ; reimbursement of $ 700,000 of expenses ; substantial revisions to confidentiality provisions designed to protect Company information ; and an indemnity for any trading in the Company stock by ABW . None of these requests were acceptable to the Company .

Benefits of Carpooling - Visualization Challenge and Selection : Visualization is one of the greatest tools , which I often use during my presentation to team and while pitching for new customers . Generally , there will be always time constraints while showcasing the concepts to the clients due to their busy schedules or other planned activities . So , it ’s very important to capture their attention in short period and pitch the concept engagingly and make them understand the details . This is certainly a challenging job and Visualization plays a key role . Visualization helps to convey the large data into interesting visual story telling form which is easier to understand , highlighted with trends and outliers . It brings a presentation / digital output to life and keeps the audience 's eyes on the screen and make them focused on the subject . The information and the visuals need to work together , and there is an art to combine great analysis with great storytelling . Because of the way the human brain processes information , using visuals to represent complex information is easier than poring over spreadsheets or reports . Application : Recently , I came across a situation to present a concept of the benefits of carpooling . In order to present the application screens , it was very important to explain the statistics of the carpooling market . It comprises types of car sharing , popularity , and reasons for growth and leading carpooling company information by each country . As you see , it is a lot of data to be presented . Therefore , I started analyzing how to present this large chunk of data in an appealing manner using a visualization tool . Also , it needs to be more engaged , so that it can be a story but not a dump of boring data stats . As it is about carpooling , I decided to show the data in the form of a section by section as the car travels through the sections around . This forms a continuity and tells the story as a journey to keep my customers engaged . Please take a look at below screen . I wanted to highlight the advantage of Carpooling . So , showcased the reduction of expenses ( Yearly ) by sharing the car . Also , depicted how carpooling reduces traffic congestion . Similarly , created multiple slides with other benefits like reduction of fuel usage , parking place , stress of driving etc . This approach had an amazing impact during our event . The clients liked the presentation and we got the investment to build the idea . The meaningful interpretation of data in a compelling visual manner was applauded by everyone . The representation of big data chunk as a beautiful visual story impressed and also easily consumed by clients . It helped them to identify the key business areas and future growth in a clear way . Insight & Approach : • Customers absorbed the messages better when we translated the words to images • We succeeded to build a common understanding with our clients . Therefore , even the expectations were common • Easily readable , understandable and rememberable • It helped our clients to focus on the core information • It helped in conveying our ideas to our clients attractively and engagingly . • Approach has created the ‘ WOW ’ factor As we were successful using the visualization in our approach , we are trying this method in all our pre - sales activities .

VISUALIZATION IN RECYCLING Magdy Ruslan MAY 18 , 2016 DESIGN THINKING Challenge Some friends of mine and I have started a project about recycling . It consists in getting the people to separate their plastic bottles and bring them to a specific spot where they can obtain a compensation for them ( some sort of discounts in different restaurants and business ) . When the bottles are delivered , they are weighted . Is intended to receive bottles from different kind of products each day of the week ( example , Monday beverages , Tuesday oils , etc . ) . The project is intended to impact people from all ages but is best focus in young people around their twenties that live near to a university . The problem with that is that we need to discover all the reasons why people would n’t take their plastic bottles to the recollecting spot and what we can do to change it . This is the main purpose to make this activity and use the techniques learned in the course to evaluate the situation . Just as general knowledge , we put the plastic recollected in a specific process to transform it into different kinds of plastics forms that can be used to produce other type of products that are , then , sold to obtain founds to reinforce the ecological mindset in the community . Selection We selected this tool ( visualization ) because it helps to view in a graphic way the situation and with that , start viewing for possible solutions or ways to act toward it . This allows the team to analyze the situation from different perspectives and understand them , to select the best path of action and know what could go good and bad . It also helps that , even that the team decides to focus in one specific aspect at the beginning , after a time we can go back to the diagram created and continue with other important aspects for the project . Application For doing the activity we first started by putting the collecting spot in the middle of a big white paper . And decided , as a team , that we were going to put circles around the spot . Each circle represented how far or how proximate a problem or situation was with respect to the recollecting spot and the team control . For each given situation we recognized we draw an icon or object that represented it . For that process we started from the inner circle through the farthest one . We take turns to say something that we see can happen , if someone have nothing to say the following person can take his turn . But this was no limiting to keep just the original idea told by the member of the team , it was important that the rest of the member construct over that idea by complementing it . At the end we get another round for every circle starting again from the inner one through the farthest , this with two purposes in mind . The first purpose of that ending round was to add more ideas if there were left and the second one to move ideas from one circle to another if they needed to be reconfigured . At the end of the process we have a schematic view of the recollecting process and the situations that can arise and make it not to happen in a right way . Insight What we get from the activity were some important insights to consider when selecting the spot and the process of collecting the bottles . I describe the insights in the following list , starting from the ones of the inner circle to the ones of the farthest one . • Inner circle : o People would not come to deliver their bottles If the weighting system is broke o If the recompensating process does not work in a proper way o If they do not see the results of all the plastic bottles recycled • Middle circle : o If they don have the culture of recycling o If they do not have the information that the recycling spot is available for them o If the day for recollecting the bottles of a specific product does not fit to them • Farthest circle : o If the recycling spot is far from their homes o If they do not have the time to go to the recycling spot Approach In another chance of doing this process I would like to take the same activity , visualization , but made in another way . What I would do different would be to create a net to match the situations that are related or could be attended by similar actions . I would also like to have people from the community involved in the process and not just the team members . This would help to have different points of view and opinion of people that is not cycled with the project .

It consists in getting the people to separate their plastic bottles and bring them to a specific spot where they can obtain a compensation for them ( some sort of discounts in different restaurants and business ) . When the bottles are delivered , they are weighted . Is intended to receive bottles from different kind of products each day of the week ( example , Monday beverages , Tuesday oils , etc . ) . The project is intended to impact people from all ages but is best focus in young people around their twenties that live near to a university . The problem with that is that we need to discover all the reasons why people would n’t take their plastic bottles to the recollecting spot and what we can do to change it . This is the main purpose to make this activity and use the techniques learned in the course to evaluate the situation . Just as general knowledge , we put the plastic recollected in a specific process to transform it into different kinds of plastics forms that can be used to produce other type of products that are , then , sold to obtain founds to reinforce the ecological mindset in the community . Selection We selected this tool ( visualization ) because it helps to view in a graphic way the situation and with that , start viewing for possible solutions or ways to act toward it . This allows the team to analyze the situation from different perspectives and understand them , to select the best path of action and know what could go good and bad . It also helps that , even that the team decides to focus in one specific aspect at the beginning , after a time we can go back to the diagram created and continue with other important aspects for the project . Application For doing the activity we first started by putting the collecting spot in the middle of a big white paper . And decided , as a team , that we were going to put circles around the spot . Each circle represented how far or how proximate a problem or situation was with respect to the recollecting spot and the team control . For each given situation we recognized we draw an icon or object that represented it . For that process we started from the inner circle through the farthest one . We take turns to say something that we see can happen , if someone have nothing to say the following person can take his turn . But this was no limiting to keep just the original idea told by the member of the team , it was important that the rest of the member construct over that idea by complementing it . At the end we get another round for every circle starting again from the inner one through the farthest , this with two purposes in mind . The first purpose of that ending round was to add more ideas if there were left and the second one to move ideas from one circle to another if they needed to be reconfigured . At the end of the process we have a schematic view of the recollecting process and the situations that can arise and make it not to happen in a right way . Insight What we get from the activity were some important insights to consider when selecting the spot and the process of collecting the bottles . I describe the insights in the following list , starting from the ones of the inner circle to the ones of the farthest one . • Inner circle : o People would not come to deliver their bottles If the weighting system is broke o If the recompensating process does not work in a proper way o If they do not see the results of all the plastic bottles recycled • Middle circle : o If they don have the culture of recycling o If they do not have the information that the recycling spot is available for them o If the day for recollecting the bottles of a specific product does not fit to them • Farthest circle : o If the recycling spot is far from their homes o If they do not have the time to go to the recycling spot Approach In another chance of doing this process I would like to take the same activity , visualization , but made in another way . What I would do different would be to create a net to match the situations that are related or could be attended by similar actions . I would also like to have people from the community involved in the process and not just the team members . This would help to have different points of view and opinion of people that is not cycled with the project . ### Output:

Visualization Tool Challenge & Selection Mind Map is a tool that I am familiar with as I used it to organize my ideas , thoughts and plans before any meeting with my supervisor during my Master program . I believe that Visualization simplify and consolidate large amounts of information into a readable format . This course has showed me how visualization can be also used in a design process and how it can used to tackle various challenges . In a manufacturing industry where I work , there are different challenges we face during the stages of releasing any new products . From my experience , the challenges we face are in the planning stage as it consume a lot of time because it is the stage where the entire release is structured from the beginning to the end . Also , the founder involves himself in all the stages and takes most of the important decisions related to product design and execution without delegating them to other team members , hence new ideas comes up during the mid of the process and we fall off track with the main goal which is another major challenge . Application As mentioned earlier , I have used the visualization tool ( Mind Mapping ) during my Master program . I used it to highlight the main discussion point I would like to discuss with my supervisor before any meeting starting from the “ Thesis Topic ” in the center of the diagram and detailed every sub - topic to include in the thesis . It was very useful for me and for my supervisor who finds it so easy and simple way to have a clear vision and structure the thesis ahead of time which makes it very simple to follow later . After this course , I suggested to use the visualization thinking in one of the meeting which focuses on developing existing access and attendance software . We started by collecting clients feedback from different departments ( Sales , Marketing and Customer Service ) . The meeting started by displaying the visualized data on a large screen and pre - prepared set of questions are asked to expand creative thinking and ensure everyone participate in the meeting . Participants were from different departments with different experience and not only the technical team , the meeting was led by the founder who was amazed at the amount of valuable information that was presented at the meeting and how participants learn from each other . This practice also encourages teamwork where a diverse experience and background team meet , share their ideas , consider customer needs and the problem to be solved . This helped them to discover a lot of thoughts that was not been thought of earlier and whether the suggestions discussed will address the problem . Insight & Approach I found that conducting brainstorming session and Mind Mapping tools are a great way to visualize ideas and organize thoughts more productively especially at early stages of the design process such as defining , and ideating . The data collected focused on additional features to be added to the software and some customizations requests . The visualized thinking allowed the team to define the key common features that need to be added to the coming release . It assists in having a structured framework that incorporates all objectives in order to avoid wavering off track . It also used to have powerful and fruitful meetings to get everyone on the same page . The team will be aware of the design criteria and the action plan to follow which in consequence eliminates the risk of changing the design continuously whenever a new idea comes up . Since using visualization tool has significantly reduced the time involves at the planning stage and provides higher efficiency process . The team and founder have agreed to use it for all upcoming design meetings and activities . The final graph / diagram will be used as a shared framework and guidelines for the product release process .

Reflection – Story telling Challenge & Selection Story Telling is a great tool , I use it very often as my whole experience is in sales , I meet many customers on day to day basis and I need to work with my team found story telling very useful to communicate company objective to my team and USP of my brands to customers . Sales is a challenging job which can leads to confused or demotivated team members , so sharing my learning and success stories with them is a really good tool to enlighten their mood and confidence . I also learn a lot from their side of stories . Application Storytelling is the difference between solving a problem and creating a cause . Here 's an issue we face , let 's create a pro and con list about how to solve it , pick the best option from there . A cause is something that ignites people , and unites people . And I think that 's what a good story does . Let me share my experience How story telling helped me and my team to make our brand successful . When I got promoted to Area manager to newly created division . We were given an anticoagulant brand from other division , that brand was 18 months old and sale of that brand was a concern for the company . Our division future depended on the future of that brand . First five month we put all our efforts and followed marketing strategies . Though our brand was latest generation product and more effective in terms of reducing mortality as compared to existing reputed brand but none of customer wanted to try it . Main reason was customers do n’t want to take risk to change from their existing therapy . Then Our leader that time called us to a meeting he showed the data to us and told us if we convince our customer to use our brand in place of existing brand , we can save 11 lives for every 100 units conversions ( as per the study ) . This statement changed our conviction for our brand and gave us some cause for the sales . We started meeting our customer with lot of energy , and within next 6 months we became no . 1 brand in our therapy . This success story helped me to motivate multiple members of my team . Insight & Approach 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 have sales background and wants to start my own company one day . I am sure I still needs to hone my skills as story teller and leverage my big experience .

Challenge : The leadership team of the firm I work for had agreed on the priorities and strategy for leveraging technology to realise business goals . As the strategy was a multi - year journey and involved orchestrating multiple levers simultaneously , they wanted to ( 1 ) put in place a scorecard to ensure we are closely monitor and demonstrate the execution of strategy as intended and ( 2 ) facilitate a consistent understanding of success ( up to 4 levels from the top ) . As a starting point we had the following sources of information – A rich description of strategy and list of primary metrics to be used ; Audit reports providing insights into the expectation of stakeholders as regulators ; Previously used dashboards for similar purposes Selection After having looked at previous dashboards and speaking to various user groups- I observed gaps and tensions between how user groups / stakeholders reasoned about the strategy and associated metrics in their own contexts . Some examples include – high level synthesis vs. ability to drill down ; snapshot of current performance vs. forward looking predictions ; One metric at a time vs. evaluate the interaction of multiple metrics at the same time . It was clear that refreshing previous dashboard templates with data for new metrics was not an option . I knew a dashboard was required but not sure about the form and interface necessary to strike the right balance between the interpretation and expectation of user groups regarding the strategy . This involved first making their mental models as explicit as possible ( see week 1 interview)and using them as building blocks to develop a common mental model that everyone can use to manage the execution of strategy . Hence , I chose visualisation / visual thinking as a tool . Application : I created the following material to be used during 2 - 3 workshops ( we called them road shows ) per heterogenous group of stakeholders : § Dummy visual charts ( e.g. , line , bar pie etc ) for the metrics using dummy data . § Metrics journey for key metrics based on interviews with user group , i.e. , the different paths of reasoning a user group is likely to take starting with a metric § Expected hypotheses between metrics derived from strategy . E.g- “ Overtime as the % of mature engineers increases , we should also expect an increase in release frequency ” During the online workshops , initially a walkthrough of charts and metrics journey was done , and the forum was left open for reactions or suggestions on metric journeys . The inputs from various workshops were synthesised in recurring interaction patterns depending on the type ( e.g. , % vs. actuals ) or view ( e.g. , time series vs. distribution ) of metric . Similarly , the statements of expected correlations were ratified , and the users were requested to suggest / draw how they would visualise them . This resulted in a revised set of metrics journeys and a set of new correlation views which was never used before in the organisation in this context(insight ) . Approach : Considering the stakeholder group and problem at hand , I think visual thinking was best suited . Although I did manage this using online workshops , In future I would enough through to using the right collaboration tools- screen shares with excel / ppt has their limits .

Challenge & Selection The tool which I used is visualization . Visualizing and observing what others are doing , drawing , and discussing what they are doing helps us understand things better and in a different way . So , visualization is really helpful in the process of design thinking . And visualization helps explore different parts of our brain and creating new ideas and innovate different processes . And it gives an idea of what we are exactly implementing in our process . And it also helps us identify any mistake we are doing if any . Application I first started applying the idea by understanding the problem well and defining the problem as to what exactly it is . After that , I have gathered all the required information from different sources and have understood the problem statement well . Then I conduct informal interviews with one - three of the stakeholders who serve as my main points of contact on the initiative . If appropriate to the situation , I will borrow the concept to “ front - stage / back - stage ” from previous research , and discussed in David Gray ’s book , “ The Connected Company ” . The front - stage / back - stage approach . They can also identify variables in the problem space – that is , it helps them to identify what they do n’t know , in what areas they need to obtain information or data to provide the values for the variables . Since I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning , next time I would use the visualization activity as a starting point for a series of design thinking activities . Then the revised graphic that incorporates their combined feedback can serve as a reference tool throughout the remainder of their work helps to reinforce the notion that every service even an internal service has customers with whom the service provider interacts and internal processes that enable the organization to provide the service . In the activity step , I have divided the members into a group of 5 to 6 members where every member belongs to a different group of organization or area of interest . Each group gets a paper to write what they feel writing like . I have given them few sample question for them to answer . For example , What are the key elements which are missing from the graphic ? . What would you like to change about the graphic which helps to make it more accurate in reflecting your problem space ? What are the key insights you have about the relationships between the entities in your problem space ? Then I give them enough time to discuss and mark the graphic up . Then I have each group ’s report to work on . After the discussion , I digitalize each group ’s poster into an artifact , create a new view that combines the shared and new insights from the group ’s discussion , and then I created a new revised graphic that incorporates their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group . Insight & Approach The thing which I understood from conducting this activity is that the feedback and the insights we get from others and the ideas we discuss with each other are the most important things in the whole process . The more valuable aspect of the activity is the shared insights and shared learning that occurs while they are working to define their problem space . The graphic gives all the diverse members of the group the main point for the discussion that allows them to develop insights for the root cause of the problem and helps not to deviate from the root cause of the problem . They can also identify areas in the problem space where they have to gain more information on that is , it helps them to identify what they do n’t know , in what areas they need to obtain information or data to provide the values for the variables . As I discovered that the most valuable part is the shared insights and learning , next time I would use the visualization activity as a starting point for a series of design thinking activities . Then the revised graphic that incorporates their combined feedback can serve as a reference tool throughout the remainder of their work

After the discussion , I digitalize each group ’s poster into an artifact , create a new view that combines the shared and new insights from the group ’s discussion , and then I created a new revised graphic that incorporates their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group . Insight & Approach The thing which I understood from conducting this activity is that the feedback and the insights we get from others and the ideas we discuss with each other are the most important things in the whole process . The more valuable aspect of the activity is the shared insights and shared learning that occurs while they are working to define their problem space . The graphic gives all the diverse members of the group the main point for the discussion that allows them to develop insights for the root cause of the problem and helps not to deviate from the root cause of the problem . They can also identify areas in the problem space where they have to gain more information on that is , it helps them to identify what they do n’t know , in what areas they need to obtain information or data to provide the values for the variables . As I discovered that the most valuable part is the shared insights and learning , next time I would use the visualization activity as a starting point for a series of design thinking activities . Then the revised graphic that incorporates their combined feedback can serve as a reference tool throughout the remainder of their work ### Output:

Mind Map Challenge – Design Thinking is one of the most important things to continue to encourage innovation . However , information regarding the mapping of ideas to make them clearly visible is still very difficult to obtain . I myself am trying to set up a start - up on an application that aims as a platform for self - development . However , sometimes some things are still unclear ( complex ) and need more in - depth brainstorming about one thing or another . It is also very difficult to be objective in making a decision . Selection – As is well known , the mind map is one of the right tools to break down emerging ideas . Opinions in group work can be conveyed thoroughly and linked to the mind map that is designed . A mind map can be used as a reference to represent a subject and an idea , structuring the information in a map - like view . The main topic will still be the focus of the objective and then the concepts and details , are connected in a logic , hierarchical way . Application – After learning about mind mapping , I got a lot of new insights about how to stay focused on the original goal and took a lot of ideas for breakdowns . Because I have problems understanding what I think is complex . However , through learning the mind map method , I became more aware of how to formulate an idea as well as a strong strategy to support the initial focus of the topic . Insight – Through this mind map study , I became more aware of how to start a project . With a mind map , I can add many ideas that are interrelated and supportive . Also I learned about how to add concepts and details to the projects I am working on . This will increase my creativities and readiness in compiling an idea for the project . In conclusions , creating a mind map had a huge positive impact on my studies . Approach – I will say that I really like the entirety of this course . Also the most memorable is when learning about the mind map . By studying the mind map , this will help me to be more creative and be able to add innovations through details that support the main focus of the goal . Mind maps can also bridge the problems that I experienced before so that I have insight into design thinking that is even wider . Nurul Nasir

Reflection - Visualization Challenge As a 17 year old student who has never had a paying job , the challenges that are available for me to solve are n’t easily comparable to the examples given . Working with what I have , what I chose to tackle is efficiency of systems in place at my local public library where I ’ve volunteered for many years . Growing up in a time where technology advances very quickly , I ’ve seen shifts made in many different systems I interact with , like computers / testing in school or the implementation of computerized systems at the library . Being the guinea pig as a student as administration is executing trial runs of new technology , I have seen what works and what is very much broken . I ’ve learned that it ’s not a question of whether something functions 100 % correctly all the time in all scenarios , but rather if it functions the majority of the time , and if it does n’t , how easy is it to document and fix somewhere down the line . I ’ve interacted with a variety of systems that are examples of opposite sides of a basic “ functioning ” spectrum . My goal as someone with a youth ’s perspective on the matter was to guide and provide insight to the older librarians . Some systems were out of our control as to how they functioned , however , I helped provide a valuable perspective to what we as staff / volunteers could change . Selection I make use of visualization as a tool in helping individuals of different age groups / generations come to a similar understanding of how what systems we were given to work with could best suit us as well as patrons . Storytelling also works to serve this purpose , however visualization is often best suited for the tasks at hand . Application Not every system whose efficiency was called into question by myself and others requires the use of / is operated using technology . Some applications of visualization were “ how best to organize a display of new children ’s books ” , easily solved by drafting ideas on a whiteboard . Others were more complicated . As my time with the library progressed , the interests and inclinations of a younger audience became my specialty . For example , in drafting posters or emails meant to appeal to young adult patrons of the library , I help with wording as well as layout of visuals . One specific instance in which I was able to use visualization to my advantage was when I was asked to help re - evaluate how the influx of new material donated to the library is sorted . As someone who has spent many , many hours “ donation diving ” in the very large bin where everything was haphazardly tossed into , I was overjoyed to finally have a change to streamline the process . Through trial and error involving many rough sketches and notes , gathering information from patrons and staff alike , we were able to come to a consensus about which elements of the process could be changed and how . We now have more space set aside for donation bins , which have also been separated into some general categories of items . For example , there is now a smaller bin designated for CD / AV donations so they are less likely to be crushed or snap inside the bin with heavier objects . It only takes a few seconds for patrons to determine which bin their donation belongs in , and it saves staff and volunteers a whole lot longer in sorting time . Insight My ability to clearly and concisely show my supervisors what I mean using visualization has become a strong asset of mine . Just as Angela Meyer said in the course video on visualization , the more you practice and make use of the skill , the easier it becomes . I ’ve encountered younger volunteers and staff members alike who do n’t think they are able to use visualization because of their poor drawing skills . They initially lack the perspective to see how the tool is more than just drawn pictures . With a bit of guidance , I can teach others how to turn something they do n’t quite understand / are afraid of exploring into a tool they too can use to their advantage . Approach People will always have differing views and thought processes . Visualization can act as an equalizer for those involved in an idea , and while it is by no means perfect , it greatly aids in helping participants see as close to eye to eye as they can . Looking back over the years I can remember many times where keeping this in mind would have helped tremendously . The fact that others do n’t share your vision / their minds work differently than yours and what makes sense to you wo n’t necessarily click for someone else is an important lesson to learn , and even more important to factor that in to how you present information . If I were given the chance to do some things differently in that regard , I would have combined other design tools such as storytelling with visualization in order to get my point across better .

Challenge and Selection I am an analytics professional who works very closely with non - analytic professionals . In my role , I not only analyze data , but I also use the results of my analyses to tell a story . Hence , storytelling is a tool in my toolbox that I use on a regular basis so that I can connect with my business customers . When I ’m working with my business customers , they are very equipped with business knowledge , but are lacking in analytical knowledge . They certainly do not love numbers like I do , nor do they want to stare at numbers . They essentially want to know what ‘ story ’ the data is telling them that aids them in making business decisions , and that is where I come in . I am responsible for finding a way to visualize the data and present it most effectively . Application In one project , I was tasked with redeveloping a scorecard that would assess the risk of our customers and then getting approval from my business customers . Redeveloping a statistical scorecard is very structured and highly complex from an analytical standpoint , and so I could not take the initial results to my business customers , because it would not tell a story they could understand . I first needed to decide on how I was going to present the results to them , and then had to settle on the right visualization tool that would allow me to tell the story in the most succinct way . I settled in on using a visualization tool that graphically showed the differences between the current scorecard and the new scorecard . The graphs , charts , and visuals depicted the main differences between the two scorecards and the impact on the business . It allowed my business customers to fully understand the important changes without needing to understand the numbers behind the scorecards and make an informed decision on how to proceed . The story I told was visually appealing and yet simplistic in nature . Insight and Approach The insight I gained from this project was that being a good storyteller is not easy , yet it can be highly effective , especially when you are working with others with different backgrounds and experiences . I also realized how important it is to tell a story that is easily understood , because that is how you get true buy - in from the stakeholders . After the meeting with the business customers , one came up to me and mentioned how easy it was from them to understood the story that I told and he thanked me for telling the story from a business customer point of view . Looking back at this project and after taking this course , I now see ways I could have used storytelling in a new way , as I would have asked for my business customers ’ expectations ahead of time to be completely sure I was telling the story properly .

Challenge & Selection Storytelling is a great tool which I using till now unconsciously . I did n’t know I was using it in my daily life before learning about it in this course . I spend a lot of time “ opening people up ” and finding ways to inspire them to improve their circumstances . My friend approach me when they are in difficult situation or in confusion . Often , they 're lonely and are so happy to share stories of their lives with me to connect and they find meaning in sharing these experiences as a form of teaching and/or legacy , in a sense . Stories are not just imagination they are real experiences of some people . I believe everyone has one story to share … their own . Application I have a story about using storytelling . When we were working for group project everyone was finding it difficult and failing continuously . Because they were working on their part in their terms without checking or discussing . So , I narrated them a story of the elephant scientist . 5 blind men were taken to elephant and asked to recognize the animal . They never come across an elephant before and they started to conceptualize what the elephant is like by touching it . Each on feels different part of body , but only one part . and their description of elephant was different . The moral of the story is that humans have a tendency to claim on their limited experience as they ignore other people limited experience . Everyone was doing their work as per their interest and knowledge . We need to work together and discuss to know what is the problem . Insight & Approach They understood that we need to look into big picture to solve the problem , rather than solving the chunks of problem individually in their terms .and everyone started to give their opinion and peoject was successful .

Visualization as a tool for design thinking on product development Challenge and selection There is a need for research within the area of product development . The use of visualizations in the development process is often unstructured and ad hoc . By focusing on the creative process and the use of sketches and external representation , it is possible to develop better tools and methods for realizing new products in a more efficient , effective way . Economic growth and future jobs are dependent on how individuals within organizations are able to generate ideas and develop them into competitive and sustainable products and services . Application one can create a better understanding by developing support that exemplifies the use of different tools and methods throughout the entire process . This step in the development of support concentrates upon the conceptualization phase , with convergent and divergent thinking Approach Thinking sketch Prescriptive sketch Talking sketch Memory drawing Technical drawing Descriptive drawing Presentation drawing These phases are important for the outcome of new products . Why then do we have these particular phases ? The following pages will explain and exemplify the different phases . Insights When you explain an idea using words , the rest of people will shape their own mental pictures , usually informed by their training . When you say : “ We need a new growth platform , ” the IT specialist sees servers and code , and the marketing guru sees an advertising campaign . If instead , you present your idea to individuals by drawing a picture of it , you reduce the possibility of unmatched mental models . It is to create deeper understanding of the exploration phases and the need for information regarding what value it creates and how it effects the phases to come . One way to create this understanding is by giving the different phases names , not only at an abstract level but at a concrete level .

Reflection : Learning Launch Challenge : I work in product engineering department in my organization . In one of my recent projects my challenge is to design a cooling system for construction machine and reduce the cost . As that will be a Global solution for large segment of the market where we were competing with a machine which more specified than what competitors offers . To reduce cost Design team , have a goal to develop a solution for those markets . The project is limited to internal resources . In the start the project scope included an engineering team of 9 members and cross functional team from marketing and customer support . This portion of project was spanned over 60 days and included customer interviews , technicians ’ interviews and internal stakeholders and provide an aligned solution that works its intended function . Selection : As a team , we have utilized tools of systems engineering and DFSS to capture voice of customer mainly internal . We decided to utilize learning launch tool which is meant for quick testing of ideas and prototype . This tool would give us validate our hypothesis , test our key assumptions , and perform tests to collect confirming as well as discomforting data . Application : In our learning launch , we started on creating a hypothesis based on the need of those customers who want less price of a machine . So , we start collecting data and assumptions of the machine covering technical specs , customer service needs and cost parameters . So , we begin the cost analysis on each and individual component and identify what part of the machine can be change significantly so that we can reduce the cost of the product significantly and that hypothesis should meet the functional working of the vehicle and meet the current performance . So , one of the major scope is redesign the cooling system of a vehicle . Team started working on different parameters for each individual area and ensure that our assumptions should be tested . There were different ways like Virtual Validation through analysis , Customer interaction , service need analysis to test those assumptions . We managed to leverage visual tools and customer interviews to perform test to collect meaningful insights . we structure our tasks , specific meetings , reviews , to become more agile . The assumption we collect we design the test for them and conducted them and confirm the data that this the way forward that we need to proceed with to solve the problem . Insight : Learning Launch tool is very beneficial . By applying the learning launch tool our team identified the need of the customer thus we have an idea , and we test that idea as well as gained deeper insight on other key assumptions of performance aspects cost assumptions . Testing assumptions helped in making timely decisions on continuing development and make changes to product specifications which are key in later phase of product launch . Moving forward , our team will review this insight and incorporate it into future launch designs . 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 team wanted to come up with meaningful ideas in short span and test assumptions to pick a favorable idea forward . Team then designed methods to test assumptions by discussing with customer and technicians , performing simulations . Next time I would use the Learning Launch tool activity as a focal point for a series of design thinking activities .

In one of my recent projects my challenge is to design a cooling system for construction machine and reduce the cost . As that will be a Global solution for large segment of the market where we were competing with a machine which more specified than what competitors offers . To reduce cost Design team , have a goal to develop a solution for those markets . The project is limited to internal resources . In the start the project scope included an engineering team of 9 members and cross functional team from marketing and customer support . This portion of project was spanned over 60 days and included customer interviews , technicians ’ interviews and internal stakeholders and provide an aligned solution that works its intended function .

Reflection Fabiana Braga 2012/09/11 Challenge and Selection The tool I selected to reflect about is the Learning Launch Tool . The purpose of a learning launch is to get the truth about a situation and a market , and that is useful so you can save time and money when to test ideas / hypothesis / assumptions . To test ideas / hypothesis / assumptions , and verify if they are really good , it is important to compare with good data ( and not opinions or unfounded guesses ) . That is a challenge due to some risks that are evolved in the process , as such as confirmation bias ( when you subconsciously only look for data that confirms your idea / hypothesis / assumption ) . Application I used the approach of the Learning Launch to test a hypothesis I have created recently . I work as a financial consultant in an Advisory Firm , and my job in the project that I ’m currently involved is to create and suggest to my client KPIs for the cost process in the financial area . Therefore , I was supposed to bring some KPIs that could be used by managers to support their analysis of the development of the area . To achieve this , I created a list of KPIs that could be used , and I tested the efficiency of the KPIs using the experiment phase of the Learning Launch Tool . This was important , because I could review the formulas I have created for the KPIs , and adjust them when necessarily . Insight As I described before , I used the Learning Launch tool and I experimented the efficiency and reviewed the formulas for the KPIs . After that I could see the errors and adjustments necessarily to be done . By doing these steps , I was able to prove that the KPIs could be used by the managers , therefore I gained trust enough to finish the work . Approach I would definitely use the Learning Launch again to experiment another idea / hypothesis / assumption that I have created . Also , next time I would use the Learning Launch as a starting point for my thinking and actions on a project .
