Challenge
While finishing my current project at A-1 Fence Products , with the customer we already started conversations about the next project . It was already defined back in September but every time we talk about it , I have the feeling that the customer is asking for something different . This next project has an explicit name , Weekly Optimization , but while the goal is clear the deliverables were not documented that much .
In this reflection I will describe the exercise of how I am aligning the scope and deliverables of this new project .
Selection
Visualization has one goal :
1 . Making an idea more perceptible by other people by creating an artifact .
Prototyping shares the previous goal and incorporates the following one :
2 . Testing a hypothesis through an experiment . Hence , the design of the artifact must be aligned
with the hypothesis to test .
Application & Insights
Exercise # 1 : if you do not do it somebody else will .
Visualization goal : Check if my proposal is what the customer wants .
Visualization : A project timeline describing the different stages of the project and the deliverables at each stage .
Support : Microsoft Office Excel .
I organized a meeting with the customer titled “ project plan presentation ” . To the meeting I went with a concrete proposal for the project in terms of scope and timeline to give the message that we have been ideating for a long time and now it is time to start building it . After presenting the proposal the customer did not like it . It had passed some time since the last talk he had the feeling that he did not cocreate that solution . Hence , that the solution was not satisfying his needs . We agreed to have another meeting to review the scope of the project .
Exercise # 2 : a little less conversation , a little more action please .
Visualization goal : Check if there is consensus on what do I have to deliver and how the customer´s goal will be achieved .
Visualization : A list ( edited in real time and available anytime by all the assistants ) of the deliverables , how the customer is going to use the deliverables to achieve the goal , and a commitment to deliver a mockup of the interface delivering the results .
Support : Microsoft Office Teams meeting notes editable and shared in real time and available anytime by all the assistants .
The second meeting was very productive . We reviewed the current process that I must substitute , and we cocreated how the solution should be to improve the performance of his team . By the end of the conversation I shared my screen and listed down the following :
“ Outputs of the model to generate :
• predicted success rate & predicted clearing ratio for the next ( 7 ) days
• spot price for the next ( 7 ) days
• sensitivity analysis or even a scenario generator
• In a rolling basis ( target 7 days )
With this model outputs the customer ’s team expects to optimize the profit generation for the next ( 7 ) days with a " solver " tool .
Produce an output prototype to visualize how the output form the model will look like . ”
After writing it I read it out loud and asked the customer if it was correct . He said yes .
Exercise # 3 : what you see is what you get
Hypothesis to test : Is the idea of the solution useful for the customer ?
Prototype : A mockup of the dashboard that will appear inside the customer ’s software application with the results of the calculations .
Support : Microsoft Office PowerPoint .
In the third meeting I showed the prototype to the customer and I asked him to explain me what he thought what he was seeing was . He was able to understand the functionality of the tool prototyped . Hence , I did a good job in terms of displaying the functionalities of the tool . He also commented on what was he lacking in that picture and how should it be . So , we rearranged in real time the distribution of the elements and added an additional one that was indeed very easy to do . The next step was to generate a more elaborated prototype taking care also about the aesthetics of the development .
Approach
One of the problems that I faced was willingness by the other part to engage on this visual documentation . For those not acquainted with Design Thinking or innovation , these techniques may sound irrelevant or childish . Unfortunately , I observe too often that in my customers a very wrong mindset about innovation . Such as expecting to succeed in 100 % of the innovation initiatives .
But I also must take part of the responsibility . My goal for the future is to evangelize or explain better the innovation landscape and the set of tools we must tackle our challenges .

Challenge : I have been working in the financial services nonprofit and social impact sector , focused on fundraising , articulating impact to stakeholders , and strengthening donor relationships . While much of this process involves outreach , it is a dynamic and constantly changing journey that is constantly challenging fundraisers to better understand their target donor groups and their respective interests over time . Traditionally , our fundraising process has been linear : find a few great statistics and data points to support our work and progress in the community , draft an email with a big “ DONATE ” button , update the website to focus on the fundraising campaign , and email this campaign out to all our stakeholders . However , funders and their priorities change , I realized , and we need to better adapt to this changing landscape for the sake of our nonprofit ’s future . My organization has recently seen a decrease in donations through our traditional outreach ( described above ) , without fully understanding why , given the relatively positive economic climate of our donor group . Now , in planning our upcoming fundraising season , I feel challenged me to start thinking of other ways to fill this gap and identify what we do n’t know : what do donors want , what motivates them to give , and what will keep them engaged with our work over time ? How can we better understand our donors and connect them with our inspiring work in the community to inspire a longer - term trend of giving ? Selection : I selected Storytelling as my tool to help inspire and empower our development team staff to better understand the insights of our donors , making fundraising a more donor ( user)-focused strategy rather than a blind outreach tactic . As per the lecture , storytelling “ has emotional connection , and it also has larger purpose . Storytelling is the difference between solving a problem and creating a cause . ” First , the storytelling tool will help me and my team better identify our audience and their respective needs ; perhaps our target donor has changed , and we need to investigate that and better understand what would drive and interest a new potential donor group . Second , we would need to plan out a sequence of events to clearly tell our story in a compelling way that inspires our team to keep understanding donor insights . And third , we will need to do a better job of reflecting : not just reviewing our campaigns , but looking at our response rates , donation amounts and frequencies , and asking our community for their feedback .
Application : I started the storytelling process by meeting with our development team and writing out our fundraising process . I needed to understand what our current donors wanted , and which potential donors we might be ignoring in our target campaigns and outreach . I began the donor identity process by looking through our donor data from the past five years , analyzing giving trends , and finding a portion of lapsed donors – or donors who stopped giving last year , after consistent donations for several years . I tried to first understand their profiles : background , career , issue area interest ( education , housing , etc . ) , and connection with our clients . I built a survey to better gauge what inspires donors and what made them donate in the first place – and what kept them interested in our work . I then emailed this survey to over 100 of our major donors who had stopped giving and who we wanted to re - engage with . The intent of this survey was to learn about our donors and structure our fundraising strategy around their needs , desires and interests . Insight : This survey illuminated insights we had n’t uncovered before : that donors felt disconnected to our outreach , which came across as data - filled and impersonal , while other nonprofit organizations were sharing success stories and videos of their clients doing well , thanks to the donation they had given . I realized we were n’t keeping our strategy centered on our donors , and rather , were
finding the easiest way to engage in outreach . I extrapolated this data into basic terms , describing the story of one particular major donor , Jennifer B. , who clearly stated she stopped giving because she felt “ she was merely a number to the organization ; while other grassroots organizations were giving her updates on actionable ways her donation has made a difference to others , [ your ] updates fell flat . I want to feel like I am actually a valued stakeholder here . ” The team and I were absolutely shocked that we had missed this simple insight for so many years , and did not think to stop and ask our donors about how they felt . Instead , we would read blogs and articles about “ best practices in the nonprofit field . ” We had lost sight of our donor ’s priorities . This also made me realized that we were holding back the amazing power of people - to - people connection from our donors . Instead of throwing them data , we could share the amazing updates from our clients , who were buying houses , going to college , and paying off debts , thanks to our donors ’ gifts . We could certainly refocus our attention to tying our donor dollar amount to an incremental change in our clients ’ lives , and share those updates to inspire and continue donating . Approach : Next time , I would engage more of my team in the process , and do a deeper dive in understanding donor insights by setting up focus groups or coffee chats with a random group of donors on an ongoing basis . I learned so much through sending out a simple survey , and there is ample opportunity to continue understanding our stakeholders by making this a proactive , continuous learning process , rather than a reactive one . We can continue understanding the drivers and motivations of our donors by meeting with them and sharing stories of those engagements at weekly staff meetings , alongside our client stories . By understanding those who we help and those who help us do our work in the same setting , we can impact more lives and more deeply engage our staff with our outreach creatively and proactively .

Challenge and Selection
I worked as a Marketing Manager for a company in the sector of military and civil defense , being responsible for modernizing the company ’s website after seven years of stillness . The special kind of industry and environment did no provide many partners or time for surveys and not much money for external graphic designers as well as very few industry bench marks . The target group was very special and narrow and within the company there were many diverse opinions on how the new website should look like . Therefore , the marketing team decided to use the Learning Launch tool incorporating customers and employees in order to design an appropriate website step by step and including most important stakeholders into the process . We aimed to find out what our two different target groups expected and what met their information needs without spending all budget and efforts at once . It should not be a shot in the dark , but an experimental and successive learning process until we had the perfect website .
Application
After building an internal team of 15 people , at least one from each department , we defined the first three basic changes to be made on the website ( being color , menu layout and homepage picture ) . Starting with one , we changed the website and came back to five chosen main customers to get qualitative feedback and including their ideas . Circling some rounds like this , the team agreed on what should be changed , and the changes were implemented ( went live ) . In intervals of 2 weeks the marketing team closely monitored the website movements and visits and analyzed the numbers compared to previous numbers . Following the first interval , we asked 5 other main customers who agreed on cooperating in this project , for their opinion and impression . We worked this into the next round of the internal “ Counsel ” and adapted some aspects . Next steps of changes ( e.g. product pictures , portfolio structure , “ about us ” section and many more ) were defined and executed as described above in a 2 - week interval until the whole website was restructured and redesigned .
Insight
Like this , internal as well as external stakeholders had the feeling to be involved and were all happy with the result , marketing did not struggle with different parties fighting over taste and opinion . Seeing this being successful , I decided to use the Learning Launch tool for many other challenges , avoiding spending money and effort in a creative process that could not be driven by just a few marketing persons , but successively develops by many . This case made very clear that it takes much more time ( here almost half a year ) than expected and many people involved when being visually and content - wise creative and customer - oriented . Marketing is full of these challenges , so we need to be open for opinions and learn how others can help effectively .
Approach
Building a new website could have been done by using mind maps , collecting ideas from everyone and then internally implementing the ideas .
Visualization would have helped to give example sites and decide quickly if that was ok or not . But then it would have been quite limited to what a few people suggested . The Learning Launch tool is limited in terms of feasibility ; you ’d need customers who are willing to participate , an extended time frame and the team needs to be very patient as results only come step by step and are often revised .
In this case the Learning Launch might have been the best choice , but for a frequent actualization of the website the Visualization tool might be more appropriate as the frame of the website is already set . In this way Marketing can give suggestions to stakeholders that then just react on ideas instead of starting from zero . This is then less time- and resource - consuming and feasible for these smaller changes .

Challenge
I am an employee of my company ’s Business Development department and my / our challenge is to improve the leads & existing business ( activities and projects ) within the department in order to increase revenue in the BC channel and to optimize productivity on the right projects . The project scope includes the strategic initiatives department composed of 5 employees , as well as the larger operations department and IT department , with whom we work closely . The project is limited to internal resources ( i.e. , budget and employee time ) . The project should not exceed 90 business days and the solution should include an even distribution of working hours amongst the team members . We will focus on trying to uncover what our team members , as well as key stakeholders within the larger operations department and IT department , consider to be ineffective or problematic with regard to the workflow .
Selection
The internal team has already gone through several design thinking sessions / tools , so we are ready to try the learning launch tool . Apparently , the learning launch is a small experiment to quickly test prototype and an idea .
Application
The initial learning launch involves , we focused on the structure / execution of our operational tasks . In particular , the team wish to monitor if we could structure our tasks , projects , and processes to adapt the methods of BC project management for our work ( e.g. , time taken , weekly , any specific meetings , reviews , etc . ) in an effort to become more productive . This tried our assumption that the hierarchy and implementation were the main reasons of our workflow challenge . Our team went through a crisp training with a operational project management coach . As a Next step , we went through five workshops to structure our tasks and processes in a more meaningful way . These two sessions happened within in a 2 - week timeframe . We expected to produce a document with a clear description of our new , more revised workflow . For our second learning launch , we focused on gaining clarity about our priorities . This tested our proximity that our prioritization of tasks was the main cause of our workflow challenge . The team completed an anonymous survey . Along with that , five key stakeholders from the larger marketing department and IT department also completed an same kind of survey . The surveys included questionnaires regarding our advanced , proposed workflow , conceptual understanding the process and the prioritization of tasks , and feelings about the change , and were conducted within a one - week timeframe .
Insight
The team identified our assumptions and designed launches to test these assumptions by learning launch tool . In addition to that , we thought through anticipated results , expecting to find that a more productive approach would improvise our workflow , and that both our team and the partners would be interested to the new internalization of process .
The on ground results were insignificantly different from what we expected : while our team was fine for the prioritization of tasks and process , the partners in the operations department and IT
department expressed some issues . Going forward , The internal team will review this insights and implement it into any future launch designs . The on going incorporation of insight is particularly important at this stage , as launches come before a full rollout in the design thinking timeline .
Approach
Although our team has already reviewed several design thinking sessions and are at this stage in the timeframe , the learning launch is the suitable tool . As previously mentioned , our team needs to review the insight gained from our first 2 launches and incorporate this insight into future launch designs . Future launch designs should mirror image insight gained , progress made , and come closer to a compelling solution ready for full rollout program .

### Input: Example Reflection – Learning Launch
Challenge
I am an employee of my company ’s Business Development department and my / our challenge is to improve the leads & existing business ( activities and projects ) within the department in order to increase revenue in the BC channel and to optimize productivity on the right projects . The project scope includes the strategic initiatives department composed of 5 employees , as well as the larger operations department and IT department , with whom we work closely . The project is limited to internal resources ( i.e. , budget and employee time ) . The project should not exceed 90 business days and the solution should include an even distribution of working hours amongst the team members . We will focus on trying to uncover what our team members , as well as key stakeholders within the larger operations department and IT department , consider to be ineffective or problematic with regard to the workflow .
Selection
The internal team has already gone through several design thinking sessions / tools , so we are ready to try the learning launch tool . Apparently , the learning launch is a small experiment to quickly test prototype and an idea .
Application
The initial learning launch involves , we focused on the structure / execution of our operational tasks . In particular , the team wish to monitor if we could structure our tasks , projects , and processes to adapt the methods of BC project management for our work ( e.g. , time taken , weekly , any specific meetings , reviews , etc . ) in an effort to become more productive . This tried our assumption that the hierarchy and implementation were the main reasons of our workflow challenge . Our team went through a crisp training with a operational project management coach . As a Next step , we went through five workshops to structure our tasks and processes in a more meaningful way . These two sessions happened within in a 2 - week timeframe . We expected to produce a document with a clear description of our new , more revised workflow . For our second learning launch , we focused on gaining clarity about our priorities . This tested our proximity that our prioritization of tasks was the main cause of our workflow challenge . The team completed an anonymous survey . Along with that , five key stakeholders from the larger marketing department and IT department also completed an same kind of survey . The surveys included questionnaires regarding our advanced , proposed workflow , conceptual understanding the process and the prioritization of tasks , and feelings about the change , and were conducted within a one - week timeframe .

Challenge and Selection
As a founding member of a university - based start - up , I took over some of the main engineering tasks and was leading the team associated with them . The whole group was kind of disorganized and everybody was looking so lost and confused . Most of the group ’s members did n’t even know how to start and where to start from . The technical challenge was to design an electric racing automobile and we sure had the skills to do so , but the real challenge was to ignite the spark , unite the teams , motivate their members and actually innovate .
I could n’t waste a lot of time drawing and graphing etc . Therefore , visualization was not really an option . I did n’t have any story to tell . My engineer brain oversimplified my thoughts around the challenge and went on with actually testing and designing and testing again and designing again and so on , getting lost in the abyss of technical analysis and testing . I was basically using the Learning Launch technique without even realizing My customers were my colleagues and their need was to unlock their innovative skills and potential . I started thinking of the optimal way to find a solution to this early - stage problem .
Application
In the beginning , I was kind of lost too , but took the initiative to put some more effort and at least start with something . Then , I could work on it , put everything together and try to continue building around it . The problem was that although we had the ideas and the technical skills , my colleagues seemed to be not motivated enough . Something was missing . We wanted to do something really innovative but we were not being creative enough . I thought I needed to do something about it as soon as possible .
I had to think of a way to do that and was searching for the most optimal and least time consuming technique . At the same time , I had to continue with the engineering design so I immediately realized what ’s better way to combine both . Why not show everybody what my thinking process is in regards to the engineering work I am doing , so at least my colleagues get excited and start playing around with the tools we had , as I did ! !
My main task was to design part of the cooling system of the electric vehicles , the most significant being the aluminum frame and the water cooling pipes around the electric motors . Different designs could be found after research yet no optimal design was being suggested by the literature . With a top - down approach I could sort out the most used ones and decided to start studying three of them .
For several days and nights , I would continuously think about the best decision . The clock was ticking and the stress was increasing . My final decision was to design all three of them and show my colleagues the process , criteria and parameters I used . At least , we could all sit down and decide what ’s best , all together . At the same time , knowledge was gained and transferred amongst the members of all teams .
From design to simulation and back to designing the components again . Doing that several times for each of the different designs can be painful , time - consuming but also lot of fun . My colleagues started
doing the same , following a similar approach , asking for feedback , trying to put the pieces to the puzzle . Progress was being made , following with excitement and enthusiasm . Finally , the group would n’t feel so useless and everybody started believing in the dream . We were sharing the same vision , a vision which died soon and then , it was alive again . You see , sometimes , all it takes is a just little bit of light in the tunnel , a little bit of spark to ignite the combustion .
Insight and Approach
What I ’ve learned through the process , especially in engineering and when it comes to innovation , is that iterative testing can be a valuable means of transferring knowledge and bringing insight to the team , also making its members feel purposeful and unstuck . In some way , it helps unlock part of our brains specifically related to innovation and creativity .
Next time , I will try to incorporate this technique much sooner in the designing process , and introduce it to my colleagues in the early stages of the organization and the building up of the teams . Thus , they will have a great tool to use from the very beginning , which they can use to help them unlock their potential .

Challenge & Selection
As a designer to create an innovative product , I often use mind mapping tools . Mind mapping allows me to know what innovation products I will research and detailed information about the products I design and know what the real needs of users are . As long as I use mind mapping , I am always helped to find what is best for me too design .
Application
In every innovation design , mind mapping is always my mainstay . Before making a mind map , I had to do a face - to - face interview or an interview via google form . I interview at least 10 people and usually always more for more accurate results . The goal is to find out firsthand what users think , as well as complaints and needs .
On google forms
The mind mapping that I usually use is a bit different from the explanation video . But there are also similarities . The mind mapping that I use consists of 5 parts of questions , namely : who , what , why , when , why , and how . each answer will be on the respective chart based on the question chart .
Who is determining what kind of users need product innovation . What is describing what kind of product and innovation is required in every detail . Why is to describe the problem and why this product design is needed , why this innovation is designed like this and all possible reasons for the design . When is information about when this product is used . where is a description of where this product will work and all the possibilities . How is an explanation of how this product works .
Insights & Approach
What I learned from the application of mind mapping is that I get clearer and grouped results . Mind mapping helps me have a clear picture that is easy to communicate . So that mind mapping becomes my main reference in making the product to be designed . For future designs I will still use this and add methods to videos , videos open my mind about involving more users in the project .

As a graphic Designer in a company , there is always a challenge and a need to come up with creative new ideas and concepts to multiple clients . To share ideas with all the team and deliver different strategy we find difficulties . Some of the team ca n’t understand and visualize my way of thinking . I have used the technique of using a straw man visualization to build a successful strategy and a creative design 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 . “ A new campaign for Diabetic pharmacy company ” the straw man represents the diabetic patient . The existing material are documents , data , campaigns did it before with no success . Because did n’t get enough materials then I conduct informal interviews with one - three of the responsible of the company in a way to know better what are the needs of the diabetic patient , what are his fears ?
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 can we do to help the diabetic patient ? 2 ) How should we tell people to be aware about diabetes ? 3 ) What graphics should we use to get attention ? 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 the team 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 diabetic patient . The shared insights and shared learning that occurs while they are working to define the problem “ How can we help the diabetic patient ” 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 and affective strategy and creating witty slogans and creating a big awareness campaign . 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 a detail . Since I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning , next time I would use the visualization activity as a starting point for a series of design thinking activities . Then the revised graphic that incorporates their combined feedback can serve as a reference tool throughout the remainder of their work .

### Input: Challenge & Selection
As a graphic Designer in a company , there is always a challenge and a need to come up with creative new ideas and concepts to multiple clients . To share ideas with all the team and deliver different strategy we find difficulties . Some of the team ca n’t understand and visualize my way of thinking . I have used the technique of using a straw man visualization to build a successful strategy and a creative design 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 . “ A new campaign for Diabetic pharmacy company ” the straw man represents the diabetic patient . The existing material are documents , data , campaigns did it before with no success . Because did n’t get enough materials then I conduct informal interviews with one - three of the responsible of the company in a way to know better what are the needs of the diabetic patient , what are his fears ?
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 can we do to help the diabetic patient ? 2 ) How should we tell people to be aware about diabetes ? 3 ) What graphics should we use to get attention ? 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 .

Challenge When a natural disaster strikes any place any country anytime in the world , the first responders and the Business Organization for Students ( BuildingValues ) efforts will be underway . I supported our country Defence Organization in developing collaboration applications and technology infrastructure to support and coordinate the efforts of BuildingValues . In this design and development process , there are many stakeholders both government , non - government , military and civilians organizations would need to engage , communicate , coordinate and collaborate in the whole efforts . The critical part is time - series sensitive from T-1 hr to T-24 hrs , every minutes , every hours and every days loss means less chances for recovery of injury and people life . At the same , the kind of environment constraints would also put challenges in the communications , security and safety of people .
Selection In order to first understand the organizations involved , sequences of BuildingValues event and activities and interdependencies , I used Mind Mapping tool to outline 1 ) People and Organizations involved 2 ) Objectives of BuildingValues Efforts by each group 3 ) Time and Activities related to BuildingValues efforts 3 ) Critical Success Measure 4 ) Obstacles and Constraints 5 ) Interdependence . By using Map Mapping , I could untangled the complicated networks and seek clarity on interdependences and choke points ( critical path ) . I could illustrate the flow of activities and people work flow .
Application The most difficult application of Mind Mapping for this exercise is to identify the comprehensive list of people and organizations involved depending on the types of disasters such as Earthquakes , Earthquakes and Tsunami , Typhoon / Hurricane , Lost Plane / Sinking Boat , Drought , Pandemic ( SARS ) etc .
To simplify the data collection , we defined PEACE time BuildingValues efforts i.e. countries are working together in saving people and providing relief to the disaster zone . And we outlined the core organizations that our National Defence need to involve in each stage of Disaster Response processes , and time specific activities especially the most crucial first 48 hours .
Thus the Mind Mapping is not Disaster centric but more focus on National Defence Organization how they coordinates and collaborate with other key organizations through technology and applications .
Insight and Approach The Mind Mapping tool helps me to simplify and visualize the organizations and people our National Defence organization need to connect , communicate and collaborate . I get better understanding the constraints in disaster zone and the barriers in establishing communications lines , and the flexibility and mobility needed for the information exchange . It also provided additional insights on the key criteria in designing the software application and technology infrastructure that we need to cater for from user mobility , communications protocol , security and privacy protection perspective .
It is important to note that Mind Mapping is useful to build neural network and interdependencies of organizations involved . I need to insert additional time - series event activities in order to provide clear flow of activities and critical time line challenges .
Overall Mind Mapping tool provides clarity on the stakeholders involved , key design criteria for the collaborations application and technological/ environmental barriers we need to deal with , and finally and key insights on the user motivations in using the application .

Challenge
I am a financial advisor of Arab Toshiba . Our challenge is to provide the right product of the educator policy which would best suit the client with regards to the curriculum put in place . The current 2.6.6.3.curriculum in Kenya meaning 2 years ( kindergarten ) 6years primary school , 6yrs high school and 3yrs at the University .The minimum years of the product is 9yrs . Therefore it poses a great challenge to offer it on sale .
Feedback . The submission challenge description could be improved by reducing the minimum number of years I.e from 9 to 3 so that clients are able to buy the product .
Selection
Launching tool is a tool that provides insights basing on pre - existing assumptions from know to unknown .
The learning launch tool was used to get insights from the clients on their perception towards the product and how it impacted their lives . It was also used to determine how best the challenge could be mitigated.no
Application
The prototype was set and launched through execution of the product . The launching tool was set on the prevalence of known to unknown . The execution exhibited the assumption that the clients were going to buy the product . This tool allowed clients who have children to make their own conclusions about the product . Clients concluded that the tool was not in favour of financial needs necessary to steer their children ’s learning process since the system put in place was not in line with the product offered and therefore the launching tool was effective .
Feedback The submission tool application could be improved by targeting the right clients .
Insight
The idea of not embracing the product by the clients due to the change in curriculum posed a major challenge since it made me realize that the product was n’t ideal for sale especially when applied to parents whose children were already learning since they targeted high school education for the cover to be beneficial to them . The insurance agency will be forced to come up with a better product for sales and marketing .
Approach
By use of the launching tool a clear distinction has been made on what kind of product to offer on sale especially to clients whose children have started learning . Applying the launching tool on a different product so as to make a sale .
Feedback .The submission approach described could be improved by providing a different product that could best suit targeted clients

Example Reflection – Storytelling Challenge & Selection
Often in the business world , rigid data such as PowerPoint and absolute numbers are the major concerns in determining the wants and needs . This usually leads to neglecting a major accessible data that requires nothing but an open heart , a conversation .
You 'll notice that storytelling involves considerable planning and preparation . That 's because thinking hard about what you 're saying puts you on the right wavelength , which is connecting with the audience . In the medical field , especially cancer research , storytelling is one major approach to bridge the gap between the scientific and non - scientific audiences . It is often the best way to identify discoveries , problems and needs to stakeholders ; donors and even patients themselves .
The language of emotions can leave a stronger impact on the audience that can leave them thinking for days . As soon as your story becomes human and interesting , the hypothesis becomes a reality that can lead to a bigger research , more donations and higher number of trials and hopes .
Application
It is hard for donors to accept that lung cancer is not a self - caused disease because of a bad habit ( smoking ) , making it the least form of cancer that gets funded by the world . This was a challenge I faced and accepted . I was on my last year of my MSc in Cancer Biology . My research focused on gender disparities in lung cancer , and how women often form a tumor in their lungs even if they were not exposed to tobacco . Previous data were published showing that women rates of developing lung cancer are exceeding breast and ovarian cases combined . However , this observation was met with little to no interest in the donor ’s world . This could be discouraging at first , but I believed that there is always a way to draw attention to this newly observed cancer trend .
I was so passionate about my research and I wanted to have non - scientific donors to become more interested in my project so we could receive an appropriate funding that would open doors for better therapies and diagnostic tools . In 2012 , I was invited to speak at a conference where many of the audience have no medical background . I decided that storytelling is going to be my main approach to explain my thesis and get everyone on board . I opened up my presentation with a personal story , a story that pushed me further in this research to find answers to my question : “ Is Lung Cancer a Women ’s Cancer ? ” .
I opened up my presentation with a video of my 28 years old CrossFit coach and best friend yelling in my ears “ You can do it , ONE MORE PUSH ! ” . Followed by her pictures walking with an oxygen tank fighting her way for survival with lung cancer after being dismissed at the ER many times since she lacked the typical predictors of lung cancer ( old , smoker ... etc ) , which lead her cancer to metastasize through her body due to late intervention .
I was able to present her case clearly through telling a story to a room full of audience . The story was met with tears and many questions of why , what and when . This story has opened up a discussion drawing the room to understand the observing trend of a healthy young women with no smoking history are more vulnerable to present a tumor in their lungs than other individuals .

Insight & Approach
This simple approach helped us receive half million dollar of donations and a better public attention to this silent disease . Not only I was able to redefine lung cancer as a probable non - smoking disease , I was able to influence policy makers to review their current methods used to scrutinize patients at the ER , and not dismissing them from further investigation ( i.e. CT scans ) based on their age or lifestyle .
Humans have empathy and can project themselves into the story , sharing feelings with the characters , and often want to know if the characters would act the same way they would . By sharing the story of my friend , who is young and healthy , a lot were able to reflect and see a different face of the most dismissed cancer in the research world . This simple approach has given the audience a face to the cause .
Storytelling approach has made its impact in the cancer world . Projects such as Stand Up to Cancer is based on patients narrate their conditions to draw attention to a research . It also created a community were providers can reach patients and their family to start a conversation , support and suggest new diagnostic methods . Understanding the elements of effective storytelling and why they work is the first step to learning the art of storytelling in business . It is that personal element that you need to highlight in any business to humanize any project . This experience has encouraged me to present more stories to raise attention to cases which were neglected , an personalize them to the public so it can become more relatable and understandable . Depending on what my goal is , my story should dictate the audience ’s reaction . The element of drama has drawn attention to make a change , while an optimistic story will help me in future to spread hope and positivity among the patients and their families .

In the medical field , especially cancer research , storytelling is one major approach to bridge the gap between the scientific and non - scientific audiences . It is often the best way to identify discoveries , problems and needs to stakeholders ; donors and even patients themselves .
The language of emotions can leave a stronger impact on the audience that can leave them thinking for days . As soon as your story becomes human and interesting , the hypothesis becomes a reality that can lead to a bigger research , more donations and higher number of trials and hopes .
Application
It is hard for donors to accept that lung cancer is not a self - caused disease because of a bad habit ( smoking ) , making it the least form of cancer that gets funded by the world . This was a challenge I faced and accepted . I was on my last year of my MSc in Cancer Biology . My research focused on gender disparities in lung cancer , and how women often form a tumor in their lungs even if they were not exposed to tobacco . Previous data were published showing that women rates of developing lung cancer are exceeding breast and ovarian cases combined . However , this observation was met with little to no interest in the donor ’s world . This could be discouraging at first , but I believed that there is always a way to draw attention to this newly observed cancer trend .
I was so passionate about my research and I wanted to have non - scientific donors to become more interested in my project so we could receive an appropriate funding that would open doors for better therapies and diagnostic tools . In 2012 , I was invited to speak at a conference where many of the audience have no medical background . I decided that storytelling is going to be my main approach to explain my thesis and get everyone on board . I opened up my presentation with a personal story , a story that pushed me further in this research to find answers to my question : “ Is Lung Cancer a Women ’s Cancer ? ” .
I opened up my presentation with a video of my 28 years old CrossFit coach and best friend yelling in my ears “ You can do it , ONE MORE PUSH ! ” . Followed by her pictures walking with an oxygen tank fighting her way for survival with lung cancer after being dismissed at the ER many times since she lacked the typical predictors of lung cancer ( old , smoker ... etc ) , which lead her cancer to metastasize through her body due to late intervention .
I was able to present her case clearly through telling a story to a room full of audience . The story was met with tears and many questions of why , what and when . This story has opened up a discussion drawing the room to understand the observing trend of a healthy young women with no smoking history are more vulnerable to present a tumor in their lungs than other individuals .

Insight & Approach
This simple approach helped us receive half million dollar of donations and a better public attention to this silent disease . Not only I was able to redefine lung cancer as a probable non - smoking disease , I was able to influence policy makers to review their current methods used to scrutinize patients at the ER , and not dismissing them from further investigation ( i.e. CT scans ) based on their age or lifestyle .
Humans have empathy and can project themselves into the story , sharing feelings with the characters , and often want to know if the characters would act the same way they would . By sharing the story of my friend , who is young and healthy , a lot were able to reflect and see a different face of the most dismissed cancer in the research world . This simple approach has given the audience a face to the cause .
Storytelling approach has made its impact in the cancer world . Projects such as Stand Up to Cancer is based on patients narrate their conditions to draw attention to a research . It also created a community were providers can reach patients and their family to start a conversation , support and suggest new diagnostic methods . Understanding the elements of effective storytelling and why they work is the first step to learning the art of storytelling in business . It is that personal element that you need to highlight in any business to humanize any project . This experience has encouraged me to present more stories to raise attention to cases which were neglected , an personalize them to the public so it can become more relatable and understandable . Depending on what my goal is , my story should dictate the audience ’s reaction . The element of drama has drawn attention to make a change , while an optimistic story will help me in future to spread hope and positivity among the patients and their families .

Challenge
I have worked as a Senior Project Manager in the engineering and construction industry for over fifteen years . Most recently , my work has been managing large scale façade projects for skyscrapers and large- scale medical or commercial campuses . A typical project budget would average around $ 40 M with a project duration of roughly eighteen months . The three key phases of a project would , in order , include 1 ) design engineering ( where our engineers would turn the architect ’s vision into hundreds of detail drawings ) , 2 ) production ( where the detail drawings would be converted so the product could be fabricated and assembled at one of our production facilities ) , and 3 ) field installation ( where the assembled product would be installed onto the building ) . A near constant that occurs once a project team has been assembled is that many of the team members across departments have not worked together before . Also , the mindset of individuals from each department is different simply because their job duties are vastly diverse . The monetary scale of a given project , the risk that comes with such a long project duration , and the possible issues within the project team makes , among many other things , the challenge of fostering and constantly improving efficient communication of the utmost importance . For this assignment , I am going to reflect on such a design thinking challenge I encountered while managing a 4- building biotech campus south of San Francisco , California .
Selection
After taking this course , I realized that I was using the “ learning launch ” tool on a regular basis . For the reflection I am going to describe a situation where I encountered an appreciable communication challenge at the forefront of a project . As conveyed in Week 4 , particularly in Ed Hesse ’s “ Learning Launch Tool ” video , a learning launch is essentially a quick - fire experiment performed when trying to flesh out “ What Works ? ” .
Application
I held a series of weekly meetings that included a check - in meeting with key stakeholders from each of the three key departments . In this meeting we would attempt to identify and analyze the structure of the project and brainstorm solutions to further improve its process , as well as returns on team member commitments . After taking this course , I realized this was essentially an ongoing general analysis of “ What Is ? ” and What If ? ” At one of the first of these meetings for the San Francisco project , I encountered a significant disconnect between project team members from each of the different key departments . I met with team members in private in order to figure out how to right the ship . It came to light that the disconnect was derived from the fact that the majority of project team members lacked knowledge about the other departments and how they operated . For example , the structural engineers had been working in their field for several years but had never visited a production facility or live construction site .
I organized a quick experiment ( what I now identify as a learning launch ) in the form of a field trip for a group of the team ’s engineers to visit a production facility as well as a live construction site the following week . I took great measures to carefully craft the event in a way I thought would be the most efficient and beneficial learning experience for all attendees . In particular , I made it a comprehensive “ tour ” with key staff from the department giving brief presentations on the ground followed by Q / A. Also , and perhaps most important , I organized dinner and social interaction so that the team members could become better acquainted . The response was overwhelmingly positive . I then crafted and organized a program of field trips where key players from each of the major sectors visited each other in rounds over a 3 - month period .
Insight
In just three months , managers noticed an appreciable increase in efficiency of the project process , as well as an increase in the overall morale and empathy between departments . Empathy increased because team members from each department now better understood the mindset of the other ( having seen their job duties in real - time ) as well as the implications of their actions on the other . Morale spiked due to newly fashioned comradery amongst the project team after getting a chance to engage socially . This program of field trips was thereafter attempted on other projects with success . Minor difficulties encountered included ( as is common in the business world ): time and money . It is difficult to remove employees from their busy schedules . Also , there was no line item in the budget for these events and Corporate was unwilling to absorb the costs as overhead expenses – forcing me to draw from the sparse contingency line . However , I felt strongly that the new value brought to the project well out - weighed such difficulties .
Approach
Thinking back on this experience , some of tools learned in this course might have brought greater success to the program . The full adoption of the program at a company - wide level did not pan out as I would have liked . I wish I had more a formal recording of people ’s experience to provide something tangible to corporate to further sell the program ; perhaps something similar to what Marion Moore conveyed in the Week Three “ Mind Mapping Tool ” video , where people ’s thoughts and reactions were well drawn out . In summary , I feel I determined “ What Is ? ” and “ What Wows ? ” in the bi - weekly meeting with “ What Wows ? ” being determined in the first field trip experiment . “ What Works ? ” ultimately did not pan out as the program was not determined scalable on a company - wide basis .

When tuning beam on an ion implanter , it can be difficult to achieve the desired outcome . There are many inputs , many manipulations of the system , and several desired outputs . Before an ion implanter is signed off or accepted at a customer site , a technician must prove that the tool can perform as promised . To be more specific for our purposes only , the beam must reach a specific maximum current and we will be investigating the beam shape as a possible cause of not reaching the maximum current .
The tool I wish to describe is Visualization . There are already many cues from the software on the operator interface , but understanding them and “ seeing ” what the beam is doing in your mind ’s eye can really help when trying to get the tool to attain that maximum beam current . The tool measures many different things at different points in the beamline and interpreting these measurements can help the technician pinpoint the weak link in the beam tuning .
The application of the visualization tool should work like this . The technician can look at the final beam measurements . How close is the beam to the desired current ? Assuming the beam injection setup is close to a historically good beam , the technician must dig deeper . What does the beam shape look like ? Is it too wide , too tall ? Now the technician must visualize where in the beamline the beam is tuned for the specific shape that is outside of normal operating conditions . The technician can now increase the voltage on the suspected tuning optic and check the beam shape again . Did the beam shape change ? In the desired direction ? The technician can use these visualization techniques to tune specific parts of the beam with much more certainty than guessing and checking .
The insight the technician can gain from implementing the visualization tool is more confidence as the beams are tuned with more ease and at much faster paces . The technician will be able to independently check their assumptions and develop a firmer understanding of what the beam may look like and what kind of adjustments will affect it and to what degree .
At this point , we want to weigh our options on using another approach from our toolbox . Our clever technician was already using the Learning Launch when trying to manipulate the beam after the visualization exercise . The technician was trying to pinpoint the most likely element to adjust while visualizing the beam and then running an experiment to see if the adjustment worked or not .
If we had tried to use Mind Mapping instead of Visualization , the technician could have had similar results . After identifying how the beam should be manipulated , the technician could have made a list or diagram of the different things that can be adjusted . From there , each adjustment could be categorized by how it is supposed to affect the beam . By categorizing each as position , angle , or size , the technician could then pick from a shortened list to make the desired adjustments .
Determining which tools is more effective probably depends more on the personal experience of the technician . With a more advanced understanding of the tool , the technician can probably visualize it better . If visualization is difficult , Mind Mapping is probably more fail safe , but more time consuming to implement .

Challenge As the Business Development Manager of a large Consulting & System Integration firm , I have been asked by a Prospect Customer to make a proposal for preparing , according to their needs , a set of detailed requirements regarding the development of a new e - commerce portal . Then we should have used these requirements for a complete technical feasibility study , including an estimated budget for the development and for the running phase .
The Prospect Customer is the Management Board of an association which groups several networks of durable consumer goods resellers and the portal to be developed should allow each associate to easily publish information regarding their stock and their special offers , to be searched , consulted and , hopefully bought , by buyers from the Consumer market .
My colleagues and me strongly believed that the main key to win this assignment should had been the proposal of innovative and attractive ways to enable our Customer ’s associates , generally Sales Reps . without particular experience in Information Technology , to imagine and clearly express a set of requirements leading the development of a portal that would outstand from the competition of similar marketplaces .
Selection
According to our experience , Storytelling is a really powerful tool for helping the stakeholders of a project to express their requirements , particularly in case they are unclear and/or related to a brand new product .
In Information & Communication Technology industry , one the most effective form of Storytelling is the so - called “ User Stories ” . User stories are simple but structured forms of Storytelling that enable to capture the features of a new Information System from the end - user perspective . User stories can be used to express both functional and non - functional ( e.g. performance or security requirements ) requirements .
According to Mike Cohn ( “ User Stories Applied : For Agile Software Development ” , Addison Wesley 2004 ) the suggested format is “ As a ( role ) I want ( something ) so that ( benefit ) ” .
Once gathered from the Project Stakeholders , User Stories can be categorized and collected in a prioritized list , that can be used for System Development purpose .
So , our proposal was centered about working as a team of enabling consultants , organizing a set of workshops with representatives of the population of our Prospect ’s associates , finalized to gather and collect the needed set of User Stories .
Since a pivotal category of stakeholders , the representatives of Consumer Market ( the “ buyers ” ) could n’t be included , we also decided to use the technique of defining some “ Personas ” : fictional characters that describe an organization ’s customers behavior1 . Then we also proposed that the attendees to each workshop will also act as some “ Persona ” , describing their own stories .
1 An interesting example of using personas can be found here : https://digital.gov/2015/04/06/using-personas-to- better - understand - customers - usa - gov - case - study/
Application
To prepare a concrete proposal , we decided to segment our stakeholders according to categories like :
- Dealer size ,
- Region ,
- Represented Brands ,
- Customer Segment ,
- …
Each one of these categories would have represented a specific workshop , where to gather User Stories from our customer ’s stakeholder as well as a predefined set of Personas . This led us to about ten workshops , plus one introductory with our Customer ’s Management , to agree with the segmentation , the description of personas and the script of the stories . During each workshop we also proposed to use sticky notes on whiteboards preformatted with a user story format .
We also previewed a final workshop in order to agree on the prioritized collection of User Stories .
Finally , according to this collection , our System Specialists would have been able to prepare a technical feasibility study , together with a time / cost estimate , as required .
Insights
Thanks to this approach we have been able not only to win the assignment , but also to complete it on - time and on - budget , as well as with a complete satisfaction by our customer .
This strengthened our belief about the effectiveness of this kind of co - designing a new product together with the customer , as one of the main practices of Design Thinking .
Once the portal will be completed and running , we will also be able to validate its benefits in terms of sale increase for our Customer Association .
Approach
One lesson learned from this experience is that we could even more effective , both in persuading our Prospect and leading the project , with a larger set of tools , like workshop scripts , aids for segmenting the samples workshops attendees , examples of Personas descriptions , etc …
Then we will spend our next week also dedicated preparing this kind of offer / project collaterals .

Challenge
I recently just completed my contract at a company 's marketing department . One major
challenge we were required to solve was simply increasing sales in the online sphere .
Put together , we had to increase sales thereby increasing profits generated from the
online sphere which generated before only 18 % sales . A team of 17 was set up to cater
to that problem and we had only 1month to figure it out .
Selection
The team set up including myself had many tools in mind to use , but eventually settled
on the Learning Lauch Tool , because this tool would help us effectively weed out ideas
that would not be effective . The learning launch is simply a small , fast and cheap
experiment that tests your new idea in the marketplace . It is like asking a question ; " so ,
you got lots of ideas yes ? Then , what is next ? Simply put , which idea should you pick
and why .
We picked this tool because we had so many ideas and needed to know which is more
viable to increasd salea and thereafter profits .
Application
The aim of a learning lauch is to get the truth ( data ) , nothing but the truth , not
unfounded gusses or assumptions but the truth or facts . We had to step into the shoes
of our say , unique customers . We therefore began an experiment where we could see
how our various ideas would pan out in the real marketplace . We started quick
experiments which in about 3weeks revealed that Email marketing would be the best
tool for our sort of customers .
It was quite fulfilling seeing this learning launch bring out the best tool to increase sales
and profits .
Insights
Through the application of this learning launch tool , we discovered the most effective
way to get our customers buy our services as well as minimize the huge amount spent
on ads . Following our subsequent launch , we got a whooping 96 % ROI in less than a
month of launching .
Approach
Given that the team had a subsequent launch with an increase in sales and ROI but next
time , a smaller team of 7 - 10 would be set up to keep our biases at bay , since we all had
different ideas , took us time to sort it out eventually , gathered through our data finding
that email marketing was the most effective .

I am an IT Project Manager in a boutique Commercial bank of 80 employees . Around 5 people work in the IT department running the Core Banking system and IT infrastructure . Other than the IT department it was hard to believe but the rest of the people within the Bank were not tech savvy meaning that they simply do not know how IT systems work . The issue our IT department had was that any changes requested to improve the banking process to add value for customers in the Core Banking system were very expensive , never complete and hardly resulted in any added value to the bank ’s customers . The Bank Directors wanted to find why when budgets were allocated to make improvement in IT relating to business requirement did not result in significant improvement . I was allocated a Project to find the cause of the problem and options to how to fix the problem . I was given a timeframe of 30 days to find the cause of the problem and to bring options on the table .
Selection
As a first step I spoke with heads of the back office team ( these teams who in the Bank do the administration work when entering transaction , orders for the Bank ’s Front office operations which could be a request to execute a FX transaction or provide a trade finance loan to a company ) I spoke with each department around 45 minutes .
In the meetings I could see if I wanted for example a summary of what improvement they wanted in change request process the department heads were reluctant to provide me anything written . They were making up excuses that they did not have time to write their improvements ideas as they all had small teams and they were tied with their operational activities .
When I requested trilateral meeting with the departments the heads all of them complained that for them making the time to write business specification was not something they wanted and when our IT team had made business requirements for them and requested their approval they had approved these requirements without even hardly reading them . Major complain were the documents were too long and too many technical jargons .
As I recently learned about Scrums I conducted the trilateral meeting using different colour Post IT notes writing up their frustration with the change process on the meeting room glass walls .
As the discussion was going back and forth the department heads were not losing what they had earlier proposed as they could see their main points on the POST IT . I asked the department heads
I asked within this meeting whether a visualisation approach could be used to create change requests . All heads agreed that they could give it a try .
Application
For the first change request a meeting took place between me and the Credit Administration department for about two hours . The change request was to improve the summary of loan portfolio that the customer had with the bank . The Credit administration department ( two employees ) were surprised that they were asked to draw the layout of the report . The challenge I found here was that employees were drawing a lot because this was the first time they had a very simple tool where they could describe what they wanted and apparently they wanted a lot . In this session and the follow - up session it was important to engage with them but also the same time make them understand that not everything they wanted could be delivered in one change request . For their change requests small packets could be made in terms of packets and we could implement the changes in this manner .
The visualization was done on the whiteboard and the approach was that board was split up in three sections . The first two sections were proposal from the two employees and third section collaborative we decided on what columns attributes and how the layout would look like .
In the end three changes request was design which were to provide loan portfolio statement .
Insight
What I was able to see was that by allowing the business users a simple of way of describing their requirement allowed them to be in control without the tools constraints like not be able to use PowerPoint or doing graphs or Visio charts to explain the process they wanted to refine .
The Visualization aid ( using coloured POST IT , simple drawing which helped the developer as to why the information was important and very basic calculation being shown ) was a very fast and instant effective way to engage business users in designing the requirement . In the following up discussion we had taken photos of the visualisation so there was no deviation of what was discussed and as the business users had created drawings of the change ( layout of the report ) request follow up questions or any changes were easy to reference to .
Approach
The Banks wanted to test this approach for future change requests as the first change request that was deployed in test environment saw the Credit Administration team engage actively in the testing process as their approach indicated It was something they had designed and they wanted to see whether their proposal really were implemented .
The learning for our IT team and for me that as a small bank that most of the operational workers due to operational pressures simply do not have the time to create the best solution . Large specification or writing a detailed specification was a Hugh demotivator and an excuse not to engage with designing the solution . The means to use simple tools like POST IT , drawing to allow them to express what they wanted is a very simple manner was effective , productive way to engage , reduce the barrier to express their ideas and allow a simple way to use the visualization for follow up discussions .

Challenge I am the CEO of a local newspaper in a small city and want to increase the listing advertisement revenue of the newspaper . This task is a challenging task because local consumers in a small city nowadays are putting up their ads or listings in a bigger online listing websites such as https://hernandez.com/exploremain.html or https://www.roman.info/list/appindex.html ( these are just fake names to illustrate concept ) and generate far more responses or get attention . So , my team and I have to develop a new advertising product for our newspaper to increase advertising revenue . We made a design thinking workshop and come up with the following ideas with “ What if questions ” :
- What if we make partnerships with those digital advertising websites like https://hernandez.com/exploremain.html or https://www.roman.info/list/appindex.html , to extend our newspaper ’s reach ?
- What if we utilize our newspaper ’s ad salesforce or relationships with our local consumers to bring more advertisers to those websites and ask for a revenue / value share from those websites in return ?
- What if we find ways to reach out to less tech savvy consumers of our newspaper who are not able to put their advertisements to those websites themselves ?
- What if we offer a new ad service , with these partnerships , to local consumers that , if they place their advertisement to my newspaper , we will also publish the same ad on those websites with a seamless and convenient way ?
Selection Since as it is described in the lecture by Kevin Dietrich “ lots of ideas : what is next ? ” , we have lots of ideas too and we need to do a learning launch to test these ideas to find out which ones are worth putting into action . Again , as described in that lecture , we will quickly engage with stakeholders and test these questions , assumptions . Application As the first step , we need to create hypotheses . Our hypotheses would be :
1 . There are non - tech savvy people in our local city who can not use internet or put their
advertisements to online websites , we want to reach to those people with our salesforce and ask them to put their advertisement to our newspaper and we will publish their add in big advertisement websites too . Would this increase our advertisement customers ?
2 . Is it possible to make partnerships with https://hernandez.com/exploremain.html or https://www.roman.info/list/appindex.html and utilizing our
newspaper ’s ad salesforce or relationships with our local consumers to bring more advertisers to those websites and ask for a revenue / value share from those websites in return ?
Second , we need to design the learning launch . I will utilize the table described in Kevin Dietrich ’s lecture as below :
Key Hypothesis
Who How Timeframe Cost
# 1 above Small multi - functional team + a skeptic : 1 ad salesperson , 1 marketing person , 1 business analyst as skeptic
Going over our database of advertisers , segmenting them and reaching out to old and non - tech savvy ones . 200
6 weeks 1000 USD
people should be contacted by phone and a survey will be done .
# 2 above Small multi - functional team + a skeptic : 1 business development department member , 1 partnerships department member , 1 business analyst as skeptic
Reaching out to websites like https://hernandez.com/exploremain.html , https://www.roman.info/list/appindex.html , etc , arranging Zoom meetings with them , explain the partnership idea and ask if they accept this partnership . 10 websites will be reached .
6 weeks 2000 USD
Insight As we applied the learning launch as described above in the Application section , we found following results :
▪ For the hypothesis # 1 :
Among 200 advertisers , 179 of them accepted to put their advertisements to our newspaper . This number is equal to 89.5 % . ,
▪ For the hypothesis # 2 :
Among 10 websites reached out for partnership idea :
- 3 agreed
- 5 asked for more information and more explanation about what is value sharing and how many potential customers we can bring to them .
- 2 rejected .
Approach Based on the insights above , it looks like we can be successful with this new strategy or the new advertisement product . But as again stated in the Kevin Dietrich ’s lecture ; “ If assumptions are more likely to be true , move to Learning Launch 0.2 ” we need to make a learning launch 0.2 . We can summarize the reasons of a need for the learning launch 0.2 as follows :
1 . While testing the hypothesis # 2 , we saw that we need to think about the financials of
partnership too . Especially “ What would be the revenue / value sharing model look like ? ”
2 . Again , for the hypothesis # 2 , we need to work on potential number of customers we will
supposed to bring to these websites .
3 . For the testing of hypothesis # 1 , this time we need to make a survey to a much more unbiased
sample group . Because the first group being our old customers who already advertised in our newspaper before , they may be more inclined to say yes to our new advertisement offer .
P.S : The reflection explained above is not a real - life example , it is an illustration for the purpose of the material in the course is understood .

Challenge
I am a member of the organization ’s product development team . We are a multinational company from the textile industry , and our challenge is to grow the sales of our line products . P&D works closely with the Sales team , which brings us the feedback from our B2B customers , with our Trade Marketing department , which brings us the feedback and information from the market , and the industrial development team at the industrial plant . The company spent a few months in a process of mind set and cultural change , when the employees were trained in agile methodologies , to use them as new tools for the developments of the new product process , and also solve problems in which the company has found difficulty .
Selection After the training our team has already followed up with some parts of the " What Is " ( Journey Mapping , Value Chain Analysis ) , and now we have reached the stage of Mind Mapping , which is why I choose this tool for reflection . Application First , we chose a large room in the office . Then we paste all the data that we collected during the previous phases on the walls . We gathered a group of twenty people from the areas of sales , trade marketing , product development and industrial , so they could look at it . Gradually everyone made observations , and we followed the processes of insights formation and clustered the data so we could proceed with brainstorming . Insight After the use of mind mapping , we could perceive a series of links and patterns among the interviewees , and in this way , it was possible to observe some problems and feelings of the consumers that we did n’t know before . Because of this process it was possible to reach the stage of brainstorming much more prepared to develop a solution that fits the consumer better and adds more financial value to the company . Approach For the next applications of mind mapping , I believe that what we will have different will be the experience of having already carried out this process . All participants will already have changed their mind set and understood the importance of design thinking , and the execution of this tool will already be done in a more fluid way .

I am a member of the organization ’s product development team . We are a multinational company from the textile industry , and our challenge is to grow the sales of our line products . P&D works closely with the Sales team , which brings us the feedback from our B2B customers , with our Trade Marketing department , which brings us the feedback and information from the market , and the industrial development team at the industrial plant . The company spent a few months in a process of mind set and cultural change , when the employees were trained in agile methodologies , to use them as new tools for the developments of the new product process , and also solve problems in which the company has found difficulty .
Selection After the training our team has already followed up with some parts of the " What Is " ( Journey Mapping , Value Chain Analysis ) , and now we have reached the stage of Mind Mapping , which is why I choose this tool for reflection . Application First , we chose a large room in the office . Then we paste all the data that we collected during the previous phases on the walls . We gathered a group of twenty people from the areas of sales , trade marketing , product development and industrial , so they could look at it . Gradually everyone made observations , and we followed the processes of insights formation and clustered the data so we could proceed with brainstorming . Insight After the use of mind mapping , we could perceive a series of links and patterns among the interviewees , and in this way , it was possible to observe some problems and feelings of the consumers that we did n’t know before . Because of this process it was possible to reach the stage of brainstorming much more prepared to develop a solution that fits the consumer better and adds more financial value to the company . Approach For the next applications of mind mapping , I believe that what we will have different will be the experience of having already carried out this process . All participants will already have changed their mind set and understood the importance of design thinking , and the execution of this tool will already be done in a more fluid way .

Challenge
I took this course because I am developing an idea , and I was struggling with how to manage a non- profit venture in an emerging - market country ; however , this tool -Learning Launch- has delighted me . My problem was that I was thinking in big ; I wanted to solve a country problem without knowing whether or now my solution is suitable . On top of that , another big issue is this new environment and game rules - this is an unprecedented time , and I have no idea how to run a venture from scratch .
Selection
As I need a tool that allows me to try , learn , and build on this learning , I think this Learning Launch tool is great for solving the problem I am facing . I would start small , design a prototype , and go to the market ( a very small and specific market ) , observe , interview with some customers , get feedback , and build again . It is a virtuous cycle that would be helpful for my venture . In my understanding is to make these testings as cheap and as fast as possible .
Application
This COVID-19 crisis has created a lot of chaos , but at the same time , some opportunities . Many countries have strict restrictions ; however , this situation is a great chance to control your market and to be close to your customers . I believe that in the middle of this crisis , my idea , which is related to health services , could take its first steps .
While I am watching the videos , I was thinking about my stakeholders . Who do I need to reach out ? Who do I already know ? What partnerships can I build ? Nevertheless , I think partnerships are really important to launch a venture , but I ca n’t wait for them . At these times , many potential partners are more conservative than bold .
For this reason , I am planning to design a good - enough prototype and go to the market ( a specific niche ) , and offer my service . Observe what is going on with the customer interactions , and try to understand what is valuable for them and how I can reach it .
I would try to apply a zero - resources - to - market approach . I would bootstrap my efforts to test my idea . After some testings , I would know whether I am in the right way , or I should pivot to another strategy or approach . I am working on this venture on my own so that this tool would help me to save resources , and learn about what creates value for my customer .
Insight
There is no real insight yet . I will apply this tool in the following weeks ; however , my personal insight is that I should experiment and test my key assumptions ( my value proposition ) to know whether I should stay with my idea or not . It is the best way to learn and be efficient . Furthermore , ideas are plentiful ; what really matters is taking action .

I was working on an initiative called “ lab of the future ” for my manufacturing business ( Labs ) . Our business has Product quality labs across the globe , and each Lab caters to different sorts of products and therefore has different business processes . The management felt that our labs were highly inefficient , especially in terms of where we were in our Digitalization journey and the pace of initiatives we had undertaken . For all these Labs , my ask was to define a Lab of the future vision and come with clearly defined actions in short to long term that would bring in real value to our labs and will impact their top or bottom line . The key challenge was to clearly understand “ what did lab of the future mean for my stakeholders ” and generate ideas that would bring a competitive advantage to us . Selection
The mind mapping tool was a precise fit , especially when I was trying to generate different ideas and arrive on common , agreed design principles ( something we needed before moving to brainstorm possible solutions or initiatives that the Labs needed to undertake ) . The lab managers ( key stakeholders ) were the key participants as I believed they held all that was out there to be thought ( and done ) , and it was just a case of trying to bring all those ideas to one platform and understand the connections .
Application
To prepare for mind mapping workshop , i did a lot of prework – starting with creating the design brief , resource plan , etc . – to collect all the information through interviews , surveys , etc . and prepare an exhaustive source of information ( all the feedback ) . With all the data now collected , the next step was to start the mind mapping process – the intent was not to accept or discard any ideas but see the commonalities between these ideas and arrive on design criteria . To get the process started , I then arranged for a one - day workshop with all these stakeholders ( 13 ) . The workshop was distributed in three parts over the day . To begin with - On the big workshop room - wall , I had put all the inputs collected from within and external resources for our stakeholders to see . Each of the stakeholders was asked to take his or her time to go through all the propositions that were on that wall and choose ideas they liked or thought would inform other ideas . Each stakeholder was asked to do this individually . In the second half , the stakeholders then , in a group of four , started putting their sticky notes to a board into clustered themes ( as they seem fit ) , and the rest of the members tried to put their notes around these themes as well . As we progressed further , these themes , after a lot of deliberations , discussions gave way to critical insights that the group eventually agreed should be taken as the design criteria for our next exercise of brainstorming the possible solutions .
Insight
The primary purpose of using the mind mapping tool was to generate the design criteria that we would use to establish our brainstorming sessions . With this exercise , all the observations that the participants made were turned into insights statements that implied what the conditions that our plausible solutions ( which was part of the second half of the 2nd and 3rd portions of the workshop and
not included here ) must satisfy were .
Stakeholders , at the end of the day , confirmed that the mind mapping exercise was a very effective way to capture all the observations , remove a lot of confirmation biases , and explore a much broader set of possibilities .
Please note : I have not included the specific insights for the reasons of confidentiality as those were data that our team eventually used
Approach Learning launch , I believe , would be another critical tool that I intend to use in the next stage for launching small prototypes quickly and gather the feedback . I think it could be a highly useful tool , especially when trying to understand and prioritize initiatives that should be scaled .

I am currently working in the Human Resources Department . One of the most important pillars of management consists in carrying out actions that promote and maintain a healthy work environment in which employees can feel comfortable with their workplace , with their leaders , with their colleagues and with the responsibilities assigned to their job position . Several times , the efforts made to achieve this ideal work climate are not easily perceived by the staff . It is important and necessary to look for ways to raise awareness and communicate this information so that it is recognized and associated with the goal desired , related to the work environment . Application
In my previous job , we held an activity called Semiannual Congress every six months in which each area manager had to share the efforts and results of their management during the semester that was ending . In one occasion , we were about to conduct the survey that allowed us to measure the level of satisfaction of the staff in relation to the work environment in the company . It was going to be conducted a few weeks after the Bi - Annual Congress , in which 100 % of the staff was present . It was considered an excellent opportunity to communicate the actions that was needed for the employees to recognize and value the excellent place to work that was this company . For that purpose I made my presentation supported by the History Telling tool . For this presentation I created a character named “ Pedro ” . The story begins since Pedro first day at his new job in the company . The presentation includes striking images , background music , animation and my voice as the narrator of Pedro 's story . I was developing in history each of the stages that Pedro had gone through since the induction process . It was accompanied by the benefits that each of these stages represented for Pedro and the emotions that he felt passing through each stage . I included information like when the photo was taken for the identification badge , adding phrases such as “ he gave his best smile to look very professional in the photo ” , “ he felt joyful and excited at that moment that he was confirmed part of a great company ” . Wearing that badge would allow him to tell his family and friends about the great job he had gotten . After that , it was mentioned how he got to know his work team and other personnel , how they supported him to get to know the company . How he was learning and growing through the training plan that the company offered him and how he could share with the other team members in the activities in which he was invited to participate . Also , it was shared about the celebrations that were held and how he
Valeri Barco History Telling Tool was also part of them . How he had the opportunity to participate in the creation of new initiatives and committees , and also how the benefits that the company offered helped him to be well organized , take care of his health , etc . Insight
The idea of this story was to offer Pedro some guidance and companion during the time that he had been working in the company , how he lived the company culture . This allowed all the participants of the congress , to take go back to their memories , refreshing in their minds the moments lived ever since they started working there , making them live again that pride and commitment they had towards the company and bringing back the emotions they had experienced across the time . At the same time , it was an opportunity to present all the new and old actions that we have been developing for the welfare of the employees . Approach
Based on the history telling tool , we sought to create a history as a mechanism that would allow the staff to connect with the aspects that characterize the culture of the company and are important to the work environment that is lived in the company . It was vital because it was designed for the target audience and with the intention of get them involved and make them take part in a story in which they were the protagonists before . They were able to lived again the same sequence of events that they already experienced . This was connected to a reflection of what they felt before in each stage .
The purpose of this activity was to bring them to a state of mind in which they felt how much they wanted to be part of this story , inspired by their own experience , motivating their level of energy , passion and emotions , so this could be reflected in the survey to be carried out .
Finally , when we carried out the satisfaction survey , we obtained very satisfactory results . We received feedback that responded in a very similar way to Pedro 's story that was presented in that biannual conference . The employees recognized the actions that exemplified the factors evaluated in the survey and demonstrated a high degree of identification with the emotions experienced at each moment that was emphasized within the survey .

Challenge and Selection :
We were to implement the Master Data Governance tool for a multinational giant for managing its master data need for its ERP system . The tool was already decided . We were given a task to implement the tools with standard feature the tool offers .
The challenge was , we were not having the clear idea about requirements Or expectations other than to ensure all standard feature of the tool should be configured . The master data was maintained discretely my multiple departments across multiple functions within the organization .
There was no much information readily available on the present processes being used to maintain the data in that organization , the challenges which were being faced for managing such vast master data were not centrally available . There is not definite place where in all the related information would be made available to us .
We decided to have a blueprinting exercise ( Visualization technique ) to understand the requirements better by reaching out to key stakeholders spread across multiple departments , interact with them and get more information about the practices they were following , their expectations from the new tool what could be done better to make their life easier in maintaining the data in much better manner and easier way . The aim was also to understand their pain points and give a better means for carrying out their work other than just implementing the standard toll with its given features .
Application :
We prepared the format with a set of questions to understand the way the data maintenance being carried out of responsible persons , the volumes of data being managed by them , frequency at which this activity needs to be carried out , challenges they were facing in carrying out this seemingly monotonous activity . We identified key stakeholders from respective departments who had good knowledge of business and who could give us the clear picture of present state in master data .
Post circulating these questionnaires and asking them to fill up , then we conducted one to one session with these stakeholders ( AS - IS sessions ) , reviewed the questionnaire filled up by them and then understanding from then what challenged they were facing other that what we had asked for . What were the key points which they felt should be addressed or would be most critical to get addressed with the help of new tool . What kind of governance structure / approval mechanism they were expecting from the tool .
After collating all the information and segregation of related data , we then prepared the proposed solution ( in the form of documentation and presentation ) and swim lane diagrams . Each process was clearly mapped using the swim lane identifying the inputs / out puts and process flow for each step .
We clearly documented the requirements which could be addressed , and which were not possible using the tool .
This was then presented to same set of stakeholders , giving them the picture of what would be the solution which will be available to them after the tool is implemented . These were all interactive session and we ensured that they are having the clear picture of what is being offered to them and addressed their queries . This verified To - Be process was then taken to next stage , where the solution was developed/ configured and them tested along with these stake holders to get their feedback .
Insite and Approach :
- We made small group of key people with good understanding of business . This immensely helped us in getting a clear picture of how the business was being conducted in that organization .
- Having a set of questions help in getting a structured information from multiple departments and we would then collate this information and could arriving in making a common understanding and generic requirement across all departments . This also helped us to clearly note down the unique requirements from different departments .
- We could get additional information and undisclosed information/ expectation from users in informal discussions with these select group of people
- The To - Be session with swim lane diagrams helped in giving a very clear picture of what could be the new solution which business can expect . This helped them to then pin point shortcomings and give more valuable ideas , which they could not give during AS - IS sessions .

### Input: Implementation of Master Data Governance Tool for a Multinational company for better managing their business process through ERP systems
Challenge and Selection :
We were to implement the Master Data Governance tool for a multinational giant for managing its master data need for its ERP system . The tool was already decided . We were given a task to implement the tools with standard feature the tool offers .
The challenge was , we were not having the clear idea about requirements Or expectations other than to ensure all standard feature of the tool should be configured . The master data was maintained discretely my multiple departments across multiple functions within the organization .
There was no much information readily available on the present processes being used to maintain the data in that organization , the challenges which were being faced for managing such vast master data were not centrally available . There is not definite place where in all the related information would be made available to us .
We decided to have a blueprinting exercise ( Visualization technique ) to understand the requirements better by reaching out to key stakeholders spread across multiple departments , interact with them and get more information about the practices they were following , their expectations from the new tool what could be done better to make their life easier in maintaining the data in much better manner and easier way . The aim was also to understand their pain points and give a better means for carrying out their work other than just implementing the standard toll with its given features .
Application :
We prepared the format with a set of questions to understand the way the data maintenance being carried out of responsible persons , the volumes of data being managed by them , frequency at which this activity needs to be carried out , challenges they were facing in carrying out this seemingly monotonous activity . We identified key stakeholders from respective departments who had good knowledge of business and who could give us the clear picture of present state in master data .
Post circulating these questionnaires and asking them to fill up , then we conducted one to one session with these stakeholders ( AS - IS sessions ) , reviewed the questionnaire filled up by them and then understanding from then what challenged they were facing other that what we had asked for . What were the key points which they felt should be addressed or would be most critical to get addressed with the help of new tool . What kind of governance structure / approval mechanism they were expecting from the tool .
After collating all the information and segregation of related data , we then prepared the proposed solution ( in the form of documentation and presentation ) and swim lane diagrams . Each process was clearly mapped using the swim lane identifying the inputs / out puts and process flow for each step .
We clearly documented the requirements which could be addressed , and which were not possible using the tool .
This was then presented to same set of stakeholders , giving them the picture of what would be the solution which will be available to them after the tool is implemented . These were all interactive session and we ensured that they are having the clear picture of what is being offered to them and addressed their queries . This verified To - Be process was then taken to next stage , where the solution was developed/ configured and them tested along with these stake holders to get their feedback .
Insite and Approach :
- We made small group of key people with good understanding of business . This immensely helped us in getting a clear picture of how the business was being conducted in that organization .

This also helped us to clearly note down the unique requirements from different departments .
- We could get additional information and undisclosed information/ expectation from users in informal discussions with these select group of people
- The To - Be session with swim lane diagrams helped in giving a very clear picture of what could be the new solution which business can expect . This helped them to then pin point shortcomings and give more valuable ideas , which they could not give during AS - IS sessions .

Challenge
Managing the truck breakdown - service for fleets of a big OEM we face the challenge of identifying the exact location of the breakdown . For the time being the driver must call the hotline and telling the call center agent the exact location . Problems that occur among others are waiting loops during peak - time , language barriers and difficulties to exactly describe the actual location . The challenge remains , reduces the time a truck stands idle .
Selection
In a brainstorming session with participants from different disciplines we developed an idea on how to easily and efficiently identify the location of a breakdown . The final idea for a prototype was a sms - link that would be sent to the driver in case of a breakdown , which in return the driver simply would need to confirm in order to transmit his location . The hypothesis of the team was that this is be a very simple solution that could be easily used by drivers , quickly implemented and furthermore would be very cost efficient . The main target was to reduce the time for identifying the exact location significantly . We also selected this hands - on approach as we knew that if we were following the internal rules for IT - development it would be extremely time consuming , costly and many politics and resistance involved . Our decision was to get a prototype developed by a team of students within just 4 weeks .
Application
Already during the development phase , we started talking to three pre - selected fleets we considered for the pilot project and furthermore included a group of dealers that were supposed to use the prototype for managing the breakdown service . We made very clear that we wanted to use this MVP for testing purposes and that we were relying on the feedback of fleet drivers and operational managers on the dealer side . Most value we could add to the driver himself by giving him peace of mind and returning to operation quicker . However , we also included other people such as fleet owners , operational managers on the dealer side and the application developer into the team for the learning launch . On colleague from our internal operations team was in charge to run the learning launch and was constantly in touch with the individual team members .
Insight
There were a couple of insights so far . Starting small and fast is definitely the right approach to test an innovation . Especially in a larger company there are many boundaries , rules and internal politics which are a burden for any innovative approaches . In our learning launch approach , it was crucial to inform as few people as possible in order to move forward fast . Rather than entering in endless discussions about the idea and even worse , developing business plans and scenario analysis , we simply did it . Regarding innovation I like the known phrase “ Better beg for forgiveness than ask for permission ! ” Another insight is that different stakeholders are exploring learning launches differently . The challenge is to have the same understanding within the team which means that
empathy is crucial to support especially the more skeptical people involved and giving them additional guidance in the process . As experienced in many projects it is extremely helpful if you can convince the more resistant groups by actual positive results . Nothing is more convincing than demonstrating actual facts , rather than presenting shiny power point slides .
Approach
Actually , I was rather happy with the selected approach . In a huge company like my employer it is challenging to find the right balance between a structured process and rapid design thinking . However , I am convinced that innovation in big companies is possible if certain disruptive approaches are accepted . Having developed the prototype quickly was the key secret for the success of the learning launch . One thing I would reinforce in the future is a more thorough analysis of the “ what is ” situation in terms of the needs of different stakeholders . Furthermore , I agree that personal bias is something one should not underestimate . There certainly is the risk that once you believe that you have a great idea you will follow it strictly without accepting feedback of others . On the other side , especially in huge organizations you also must push forward your own ideas , otherwise they might fail in endless discussions .

Challenge & Selection
I am a researcher and within my group we gather a lot of scientific data which we deem as important . Most of the time , scientific data from experiments turns out to be a lot of numbers , which includes many complicated names and processes . Therefore , for many of the co - workers , this data can be very confusing and consequently , the focus within the group gets lost easily . This poses a challenge , since these stakeholders also should have a say of what the company should be going forward with , as well as be informed of the company ’s activity in a way that is understandable . This causes some challenge when it comes to communication between parts of the company .
For this essay I have chosen the tool of Visualization . Visualization involves principals in which data can be presented in clear visual representations to enhance the uptake of content . As Angela Myer mentions in her visualization lecture from this course , you do not have artistic and drawing for visualization , but visual thinking . Visualization is quite broad , and its purpose is to communicate information or a message can be used in an infinite matter . These include animations , diagrams , animations and pictures . Visualization is good for many different projects , for this specific project it would be great due to the difficulty in the scientific content and large data that is involved , in which you have to know a lot of the research to even understand much of the results . This is why we would use visualization to make all our stakeholders understand how our current research is going .
Application
The tool of visualization was applied to convert scientific numbers and data to adapt into clear pictures and figures that are easy to understand . This was done with specific programmes that are specialized to use plenty of data to create simplistic figures , one of them being tableau . The thinking process was made in exploration of different medical compounds and its ’ effect in clear shapes and colors to represent these compounds . This made the presentation go more efficient for the group , since they both got an understanding as to how the compounds were used step by step , but also understood the results more clearly .
Insight & Approach
By applying visualization as a tool , it made me realize that the project meetings had a heightened focus from the stakeholders , higher input , and a higher understanding of the project itself . Due to the higher understanding , more questions and suggestions came from the stakeholders and new perspective was gained to the research group . There were still improvements on the results and figures that could be made , however , it is always hard to convert a stack of data into something that is easy to understand for everybody . What visualization taught me , is that there are multiple ways of showing what the researchers have achieved . If that becomes clear , everyone understands , and can therefore be heard since they will have an opinion about it . And as in all kind of statistics and data , the higher the quantity and quality of information from people , the better the information and perspective will be gained .
This approach chosen I deem to be correct for the challenge that it had faced , however , there are other tools that are available that might help just as much or give support along the way . I believe that Mind mapping would be a great technique , both in the researcher group , and in the whole group in general .
It has many applications in the researcher group . Conducted studies from Cunningham ( 2005 ) revealed that approximately 80 % of biology students thought that ‘ ’ mind mapping helped them understand concept and ideas in science ’’ . I believe that standing together and drawing a mind map of how and where to go next on the project , and what links information , patterns , and results that are gained and to see what is in common . I also think , if adapted properly , it could be a great tool for the stakeholders as well .

I will talk about a community challenge . There are around 15 residents in my friend ’s building . The concierge , along with the gardener , decided to install a compost bin for everyone to use so the gardener could exploit it for the community ’s garden . The compost bin is very classic , we open the lid and dispose of the food scraps . The concierge did not communicate beforehand on this bin but prepared an information poster regarding what waste can be thrown inside the bin when he installed it . Weeks after weeks , he realized the residents rarely used the compost bin . The residents welcomed the initiative but did n’t follow with action .
Selection
I will use the storytelling tool to help better understand the situation . Storytelling is a tool that helps identify unknown insights by focusing on people ’s emotional side . I feel that in this case storytelling will help creating a connection with people , help understand their vision to make the solution work . As Henry Rodriguez ( Mars ) said “ Storytelling is the difference between solving a problem and creating a cause ” . And this is what I want to achieve here , creating a cause . The steps to using the tool are to have a clear sequence of events , understand my audience , and reflect on the learnings .
Application
The population is between 18 and 45 years old . First , we will run the scenario by interviewing the residents on how they behave . Here is the series of actions all the residents go through : after cooking or eating 1/ they put the compostable waste in a little plastic bag they keep in their kitchen 2 / when leaving their apartments , they take their bag of compost to the garbage area 3 / they fill the bin with the waste 4 / they throw their plastic bag in the non - recyclable bin .
To the different stages of our scenario , we will add the underlying expectations . They will help clarify the residents ’ mindsets . Let ’s connect to their thoughts and emotions related to each action . 1/ they always need a separate plastic bag which is not convenient and is time consuming 2/ they very often forget to take the compost bag when leaving their apartment , and after a few days of forgetting , the smell is bothersome 3 / opening their plastic bags to dispose of the food scraps is considered a hassle and often dirties their hands 4 / they do n’t want to keep the dirty bag afterwards .
Insight
We soon realized there were unarticulated needs on each step of the way . The residents needed an incentive to make such efforts , a cause that will give them the extra push . They needed that connection with how the compost would be used so they could feel that they were doing a good deed , having a positive impact . They also needed a more efficient way to store their organic waste at home . A way that is less time and effort consuming . Ideally one that could last as long as the non- organic waste so both could be taken to the garbage area at the same time . And also , one that felt cleaner to keep home and reuse .
Ultimately , after discovering these hidden opportunities , we had a clearer understanding of the issue . What at first seemed like a simple miscommunication on the product happened to uncover unarticulated needs around that same product and its use .
Using storytelling helped create an unseen narrative that will lead to wider value creation . The tool helped visualize the process the residents went through in order to participate in gathering organic waste . What I have learned using storytelling is how the actions , mindsets and emotions experienced during the story all determine the opportunities to see . The insights gained for the mapping show how we can optimize the residents ’ experience . This combination will serve throughout the next steps of design thinking .
Approach
I think next time I would still use storytelling for this type of challenge . While this time it ended up being very useful to discover new needs , I feel that I could go even further . To limit the subjectivity of the story , I fell that other stakeholders could have been included in my work from the beginning . This would have made the analysis more complete from what is step , though later on in the process co - creation with all stakeholders may fill this gap . I will definitely use storytelling as a reference for future challenges to take on to discover subjects ’ insights and mindsets .

Challenge
Working with government transport contractor which providing vaccine distribution services to the doctors / hospitals in remote areas . The government transport contractors faces lot of challenge in terms , availability of transport , drivers due to improper roster , maintenance of refrigerator ( on vehicle carrying vaccine ) , vehicle and an outdated approach of tracking vehicle - carrying vaccine . The vaccine should reach the destination within time , delay would disturb the vaccination drive , and vehicle breakdown can damage the vaccine on - board .
Challenge statement : Create a proper platform using which the government transport contractor can easily check maintenance status , access to check the vehicle schedules , live running status .
Selection
We decided to do a quick experiment by leveraging Supply chain digital technology using mind mapping tool and Learning Launch . We planned learning launches in a span of 120 days . First connecting with vaccine manufacturer ’s distribution portal to get real time update of vaccine ready for distribution , and secondly creating digital solution for defining the vehicle schedules and automatic rostering of drivers and showing available vehicle .
Application
We spent 4 months in the following ways :
We identified different stakeholders – Vaccine Manufacturer representative ,
Management , Maintenance Department , Government vaccination Programme Department , Finance Department , Drivers and Doctors .
Identified and created different personas using mind - mapping tool . Conducted interview
with them to note down the pain points , opportunities , what works , what wows and what does not works .
Brainstorming session were conducted , we created the vaccine transportation journey
map along with the journey map of vaccine administrator , government contractor , driver and doctor .
We created a prototype of the Web App and mobile app . We surveyed all the end user to gather feedback on the solution .Based on the proposed
solution and survey result we :
Got the vaccine manufacturer distribution system connected with government contractor
Developed web app and mobile app for scheduling of delivery , maintenance and live tracking of vehicle
Rolled out the app to few selected user and requested them to use it and share regular feedback .
Insight
There were certain improvements suggested by the customers in regards to the user interface look and feel , which needs to be , take care of during the future roll out of complete solution .
The stakeholders feels accountable post roll out and the co - creation process was a success as everyone was a part of the issue identification , solution discovery till roll out due to which there was a free flow of communication . During the learning launch phase , empathy was key , as it helped in building effective and curated solution .
Approach
We used the mind - mapping tool to assess the ‘ what is ’ data and created the different personas and journeys , went ahead with learning launch . We need to review the insights and feedback gained from our learning launches and incorporate it in our subsequent launches and better our solution lifecycle management . During the solution development phase , we used Agile methodology so that we can provide workable solution in quick succession . We propose to strengthen our solution technical testing and user feedback mechanism .

My challenge is to be able to win the marketing contest with my
marketing plan that I will carry out together with my team of six people .
I am studying the fifth semester of my undergraduate degree , so I can not
apply this method in my work , but in my studies .
As a form of evaluation in this matter , we were asked to compete for the
entire university with a marketing plan that included the market study ,
our objectives , goals , policies , budgets , plans , interviews , in short ,
everything that a plan of marketing requires .
I chose the mind map because the brainstorming it generates is
extraordinary , plus it captures it in a place where everyone can perceive
it and create great things with it . As we could see in the video , it is
something in which everyone can participate and it shows us more than
one perspective .
My team and I created a file on google drive , since it was not possible to
see each other in person , so that each of us could edit it whenever we
wanted , comment on it and tweak it when necessary . The mind map
helped us a lot , since each one could express their thinking in their own
way , it was easier to understand each other and very dynamic , it was
very useful for the development of the project .
As I said before , the mind map generates a great brainstorm , in addition
to providing you with more than one perspective of the situation , you can
perceive things that you would not have been able to if someone else
had not contributed their ideas to the mind map , it allows you to expand
your panorama , there are more options , possibilities , paths .
For some other project that I have to do I could do my learning launch , I
would like to experience the impact it could have on people and the
knowledge and experience that I have of this , I feel that once I start doing

Challenge I am currently in the process of relaunching my entrepreneurial career having had some setbacks in the past to put me off my game . I started a business with my cousin that sought to become the hub for everything wedding related . We wanted to create a marketplace for intending couples and wedding vendors . This was geared towards reducing the inherent stress , messiness and heartbreaks that tends to happen when preparing for a massive occasion like a marriage ceremony . We are fortunate to be in a country with a grand marriage culture and did n’t have any real competition currently doing what we sought to do . We thought we had all the ingredients needed for a successful launch and we were well on our way to creating a great business . We did all our research indicating the need for the product , furthermore , we were confident we had the product in a great price point , not too expensive to deter customers and not too cumbersome to make it difficult to use . Alas , we were wrong . We struggled to make a meaningful product with the team assembled . We had many delays and eventually frustrated the initial couples we signed up for the launch . All these contributed to the failure of the product and had an impact on my self - esteem coming from disappointing a lot of people who believed in me . Indeed , “ the pursuit of innovation is inherently messy and inefficient . ” Selection I signed up for this course because I have been trying to understand more about design thinking and innovation . I wanted to understand what was missing and how having the right product with the right market does n’t necessarily translate to having the right product . I had a lightbulb moment in module 2 of the course as it opened my eyes to what I thought was fundamentally missing in my earlier attempt at creating a wedding hub product ; storytelling . I particularly liked Andre Martin ’s description of storytelling as an approach to design thinking where we try to form an emotional connection between the product and the users and even people who make the product . The idea of making the product into a cause by creating a larger purpose that people can get behind ( 0.09 – 0.57 ) Application We were already in the process of a gearing up for a relaunch having learnt from some of the mistakes we made in the past . Getting to this part of the lecture gave me more weapons to my armoury and expanded the possibilities in my mind and how this can help create a mission in the company and give us a solid product at launch . My co - founder and I called a meeting and I decided to share the story of how the product came about . I painted the picture of a successful groom and bride who were in love and wanted to get married . Unfortunately , the one thing they did n’t have is time . Between work , families and themselves , it was getting harder to plan the wedding of their dreams . Yes , they could hire a wedding planner , but they also wanted to be kept abreast of all the going - on in the preparation and needed a tool that could allow them to do just that . This is where we come in , a tool that is useful for couples who want a hands - on approach to their wedding and even to wedding planners . It takes away the inefficiencies in the process and creates a seamless process for everybody . I do not need to leave my office to hire a cake person . The story was to take their mind off becoming a wedding planning company but becoming a company that sought to reduce inefficiency and waste in the process of getting married . The focus on efficiency unlocked different creative ideas in the room and for the first time , we got different departments responsible for the launch to talk about what were the major problems they were facing . We are creating an emotional product and we needed a different energy
in the room . That did it for us and helped address some of the biggest issues . From this meeting , we were also able to create our first marketing video that will go with the launch of the product . Insight This approach felt like a major part of the puzzle . We needed something to release the emotional and creative energy of the team and this did it for us . We could sense a different sense of purpose and a much tighter camaraderie in the room after this session . It felt like we had more done in that session than we did before now at a go . It was also very insightful how theoretical ideas can become a powerful tool in unlocking hidden gems of design and innovation . This was overall a most rewarding enterprise for me . Approach Incorporating storytelling earlier as part of my strategy sessions will become a permanent fixture in my entrepreneurial journey . Getting my team behind a product is a sure way of giving myself the opportunity of making a product that my staff and customers can connect to . I can already tell that the launch will be a success as we are integrating storytelling as part of our product launch .

Mind mapping works the way like our mind naturally processes information and can be used in every situation that requires thinking . It ’s an excellent tool for any creative work and very powerful tool for Design Thinking process . Mind Maps track the natural progression of your brain by allowing you to connect each new thought to the ones that have come before . It ’s used to look for pattern , insights for creative solutions for our design challenge . Being a human resource manager for mid - size IT service organisation , navigating through the uncertain waters , adapting to the disruptive and volatile business needs are the key challenges for me day to day . Search out for an innovative and cost effective idea for a better employee experience in day - to - day engagement is always keeps me on my toe . I use Mind mapping in my weekly planning , Group Brain Storming , Team Meetings , Idea Generation , Event planning , etc . After started learning about design thinking , I started to apply and implement the basic framework of Design Thinking in my group interventions . Mind mapping is used in “ What is ” and “ What If ” in design thinking .
Challenge : One of my team of 40 people were going through the tough time in getting new projects from corporate headquarters . There were lot of perceptions , thoughts were flowing , and every individual started to blame each other . I proposed with my project manager to facilitate a group intervention to come up with the possible solutions . I decided to use the process called “ World Café ” one of the best process to harvest the group wisdom . I decided to use Mind Mapping in that group process .
Application : I start the process by debriefing the current situation of the team and set the context . I formed the five team of 8 members . I had provided enough charts with multicolour markers for the every team . Then I spent about 15 - 20 minutes in explaining about Mind Mapping tools , importance and its applications . Then I asked about the team to list out the current reality / perceptions of them with the corporate team ( What is stuffs ) . There were confusion with few teams that was clarified with the certain examples . Also I suggested all the team to make their central idea / theme as Öur Team Image ” . Then team start to note down their views in different branches by using different colours and images . I was just observing and helping few team where it ’s needed . Once this is finished , asked the team to visit other team for their observation and reflection . Here each team has to go visit other team and observe their mind - mapping chart . During their process , suggestion and clarification was shared . They also used to share their views with the other team chart . Then I asked team to visualise , how they wanted to project themselves that is “ What If “ component in design thinking . Team also encouraged using multicolour sticky or posting it notes in their individual mind mapping charts . Then the every team were asked to converge their ideas and thoughts to form one single mind mapping in a single chart . Team were asked to observe the patterns , similarity and key points to decide the top two points from every team for the final one chart . Based on which , team have come up with the action plan with the SMART goals .
Insights and Approach : One of the wow moment for the entire team was to witness the kind of different ideas and suggestions that was emerged from different team through the
process . Team members were inspired to see such an outputs at the end of this exercise . Mind mapping tool enabled the team members to think in a different perspective that unlocked their creative potential . When the team were visiting other team ’s work , lot of sharing was happening and people were constructively accepting and proving suggestions . Other key insights throughout this session was the unique patterns that was emerged from those wonderful date captured in the mind - mapping chart .
One of the amazing discovery was the people ’s potential . Yes , all of them were able to come – up with such a profound ideas . Every team members were highly appreciated the power of Mind Mapping tool and they found that this is very simple to use tool with the powerful results . I will use Mind mapping in much better creative way in my next design thinking group process .

My Strategy team is working with a Non - Profit that has established critical goals that have a dramatic impact on people ’s lives and the success of the organization by the year 2017 . This customer has a highly decentralized organizational design that over the decades has created an extremely fractured experience for its constituency . Our objective with this customer is breaking a pattern of legacy thinking in terms of experience , approach , use of technology and most importantly bringing an empathy and “ member ” viewpoint . The early outcome of some Design Thinking workshops have been a series of ideas and concepts but the organization struggles with how to put prioritization across the organization much less a capital business case to support the full execution of projects or a program . We have asked access to key business stakeholders and ‘ members ’ to create some tangible concepts that allow the organization to learn which ideas have the chance for greatest impact , but just as importantly that this process allows them to break out of a type of thinking constricting them from really solving their member ’s issues and transforming the way they engage in the future .
Selection
I selected the Learning Launch tool to help move the customer and our initiative to help them forward . I worked with our Strategy team and chose this tool for three major reasons . First , because we had developed a good number of ideas that we believed would truly transform their experience we needed a way to pragmatically vet them without engaging in a more formal business case or ROI process . We wanted to limit capital request given the nature of that process with Non - Profits but wanted to get key executive visibility to the impact potential and prioritize based on member feedback . Secondly we knew that the organization struggled with conceptualizing outcomes , especially when dealing with “ non- traditional ” experiences , in this case Digital . This was only compounded by the fact that anything that required interaction across organizational “ units ” was difficult but more easily broken by enabling interactions across these concepts . Third and maybe the most important long term reason for choosing the Learning Launch at this stage was showing them pragmatic ways to test these ideas and not wrap processes that stifled innovation .
Application
I wo n’t walk through all the applications of Learning Launch but our top two are likely a good example of how we executed the process . Our first Learning Launch was looking at the hypothesis that Members did not desire a “ brand ” attached experience that laddered up to the cause but rather provided a valuable experience to solve a unique problem , in this case healthy cooking . We wanted to give members the ability to select concepts that forced them through the “ brand ” and others that were targeted at known problem areas they were looking to solve – finding a recipe , counting calories , searching ingredients . We tried to get a

representative grouping across demographic and ethnographic members and recorded their selections and captured feedback through survey and interviews . The results were aggregated into an overall finding documented so we had empathetic data instead of historical perspectives on member wants and needs .
Our second hypothesis was that members had high expectations for a responsive experience ( and we mean truly responsive – contextual , ambient , personalized ) . We used paper prototypes and had 5 workstations with a series of tasks and asked members to select the form ( tablet , phone , laptop ) , position ( landscape vs portrait ) and annotate key things they wanted to be unique . We digitally recorded one exercise to show the collaboration and interaction , a key goal . Our findings were brought together and helped inform Persona definition , User Experience Design and capture personalization requirements that will be used in prototypes .
Insight
One of our biggest team learnings was that because Learning Launch has elements of a scientific approach in terms of hypothesis , testing and so on , that we should be more “ planful ” on the testing and looking for ways to let some be “ control ” groups and others to be more free form . We learned that the outcomes helped provide key elements of both tangible results , in terms of UX and measurement objectives , but also provided some fundamental structure for digital business case to support actually executing projects / program which was not intended but welcomed !
Approach
The major action we would take to improve how we use this tool is to better document hypothesis , tests , expected outcomes and then have a strong recording mechanism to provide comparative results . We underestimated the balance of facilitation and interaction we had as a team in the process which limited out ability to actually document findings . We would also likely mix ideas or hypotheses that we generated and some that the customer develops as a way to teach through the engagement .

Challenge
As a brand strategist , my work involves helping clients work through various brand challenges every day . I recently encountered the challenge of creating a unique and differentiated new hospital brand to come up in a locality which is already cluttered with several similar institutions , with the same capacity , areas of expertise and similar talent pool of doctors and surgeons . As stakeholders of a large hospital , my clients wanted to become relevant to a large pool of prospective patients , customers , partners , future employees as well as leading doctors – and they did not seem to agree on a “ common ” vision amongst themselves – each stakeholder provided a different objective to the exercise . Further , there was little to no data to indicate what different customer groups were expecting . The challenge was both of connecting with different audiences as well as creating a distinct healthcare offering that would have a single - minded vision and be meaningful . The initial brief was to design a logo for the new brand , but I felt there was a larger need to understand what the company wishes to stand for . I believed the larger challenge was to identify a relevant consumer need before we could conclude what the vision should be . In lieu of sufficient data , I decided to apply design thinking tools . My tool of choice especially was storytelling , because I believed every stakeholder had a different story in healthcare , and an institution that could understand these threads and tell its own story would be able to truly resolve the needs of people .
Selection
We wanted to identify a new vision in healthcare that would actually do good and answer real questions for people . I selected the storytelling tool because I believed the answered lied not with the company or the competition but with the people and the audience . And in order to identify that 1 ) we needed to truly “ know ” our various audiences as mentioned in the video lecture and we needed to know what exactly all their pain points were and 2 ) we needed to create “ moments ” of reflection for the stakeholders of the institution , so that there could be “ empathy ” not just towards customers but towards different functions , between administration and doctors , doctors and patients and patients and their families back to administration . I believed this tool would set us on a journey of discovery through the “ What is ” “ What If ” “ What wows ” and “ What works ”
Application
I applied the storytelling in the entire problem - solving process right from gathering insights to formulating strategy to presentation . To start the journey of storytelling , I first heard the stories of the people who would be stakeholders for this hospital . I performed ethnographic observations , qualitative personal interviews and day - in - the - life - of probes with 30 people that comprised the doctors who were founding the hospital , independent doctors with their own private clinic , doctors on the board of hospital administrative boards , corporate members of corporate hospital brands , patients who had been admitted in the competition hospitals , family members of these patients , hospital , medical tourists in the neighbourhood and even the architect and construction crew of the hospital building . I accompanied them to the accessible areas of their work life and observed their meetings and inter - personal discussions around the new company . In interviews I heard their stories about why they felt passionate about this venture .
I went back and analysed all the interviews and personal accounts and identified a “ larger story ” . In order to tell this story , I chose “ 3 protagonists ” who each have a narrative in the “ story of private healthcare ” . They have 3 different perspectives on the same institution . I got the key stakeholders into one room and told them this larger story from 3 protagonists – the doctor , the patient and the administration . The goal was to inspire empathy , the way Dan Pink mentions , amongst stakeholders first before moving on to inspiring empathy for customers . The tool was extremely effective in everyone immediately seeing the “ big picture ” and becoming more agreeable to each other ’s challenges .
It made everybody see “ What is ” which included a common legacy and preference of treating patients like a family , however they did n’t think that was practically feasible in a large hospital . I then asked “ What if ” by writing the next chapter of healthcare by the possibility of all 3 protagonists doing their bit to make a large hospital feel like a family . I broke it down into smaller questions of each and every experience touchpoint in a hospital . For e.g. what if the reception felt like a family , what if the waiting chairs felt like chairs in the family room , what if the billing was in the family . This led to prolific brainstorming of ideas , solutions , design interventions and even innovations . Over a couple of workshops brainstorming these possibilities , I developed the “ story we want to tell ” , of ‘ what wows ’ – of a hospital that feels personal and homely which would appeal to every protagonist in the story . All in all , the tool was extremely effective in helping uncover an opportunity that no statistical data would have pointed us to . It actually helped us craft a whole new corporate vision and mission statement for this venture , a vision to design a new healthcare offering completely inspired by empathy and warmth for people .
Insight
One insight I gained from applying the tool is that sometimes experts have to take a step back from their field of expertise and approach problems like laymen to understand human implications and understand the “ small details ” that could become “ big ideas ” eventually . Storytelling helps this immensely because it parks expertise aside and encourages people to just listen and interact on a human level . I also realized that for the tool to work best , open minded listening is a pre - requisite from the very beginning in the initial stages of getting to know the audience . It ’s important to absorb the larger context of their lives instead of asking pointed questions so as to really get a handle on their ” story ” . It puts the human beings front and centre , and that ’s where the “ Real ” solution comes out .
Approach
I think creating an open state of mind to enable hearing alternate perspectives is the most critical aspect of storytelling and goes a long way in determining the tool ’s effectiveness . While I got a great response this time , next time I would like to try more immersive mediums of storytelling , use audio visual instead of just pictures and cue cards or perform an entire skit so that the stories could live with people long after workshops and guide their day - to - day practice as well .

Challenge – as a mechanical engineer and process line manager my challenge is to optimise
the workflow of the material and labour on the shop floor so as to improve the efficiency of
their work and reduce the number of accidents . The current scenario is that the shop floor has
number of pathways and many workers working on them . Even a lot of machinery is present
in the way . And the workers tend to not follow their path .
Selection – mind mapping looks for the patterns in the data and try to build a criteria depending
on the data which will in turn help find a solution . Here it was observed that certain workers
follow certain path as that path is convenient for them and their machines . Also it was seen that
some of the material needs to travel excessively just to allocate the right machine . Hence mind
mapping tool is selected .
Application- mind mapping involves generating the data around the problem and segregating
the data in a way that some patterns are observed in it . This is to find a proper solution to the
problem . It was recorded that how workers travel to and from the machines to the respective
places . It was also observed which material follows which path currently . After which a layout
was drawn of the shop floor indicating all the movements of the men and material . It showed
that excess travel was happening . In order to optimise the productivity , some machines were
displaced according to the changes .
Insight- the most noteworthy thing I learned is that how visualization and mind mapping can
play crucial role in every scenario if applied properly . It also shows that people tend to grasp
visual information more attentively than any other form . This shows how people learn and like
to learn . By using such techniques , more work efficient plans can be chalked out for better
productivity . Better productivity is not a result of great efforts in changing the system but small
and effective corrections where required .
Approach- the next phase I would like to work in the same project is where I would plan more
detailed layout of the workflow where I would collect data from the men as in what makes
them more comfortable and appealing to work and what changes they wish to make to their
work environment so as they would feel more welcoming towards their work .

When I was working as the Banking Legal Manager of an Investment Bank one of my responsibilities was to hire my staff with the support of HR Department .
And something I realized during the interviewing process of junior lawyers , was the lack of preparation they had regarding banking and corporate law . It seemed that the Universities only gave them an introduction and a few guidelines . Also , I noticed the lack of practical knowledge , analysis and drafting skills they had . So , after several interviews with no luck , I ended hiring the junior lawyers who demonstrated a positive attitude , proactivity , great communication skills , resilient , willingness to support the legal department , and most important : the one who was eager to learn .
But the big problem , was that I had to spend a lot of time , training them , and as the legal manager , with deadlines , working meetings in house and outside the office , I had a very limited time to do so . But I remembered when I was beginning my career , that I had to learn by practicing .
So , I decided to create a legal training program focused 100 % in practice , to help junior lawyers improve their day to day skills in banking law , so they could achieve more job opportunities , and to support legal managers who wanted to train their in - house junior lawyers .
Selection
I was convinced , that people learn more when they do things . Actually , there is a pyramid of knowledge created by Cody Blair that says : 75 % of knowledge after 24 hours comes from what we practiced . So , It was time for a LEARNING LANCH . I wanted to test my hypothesis , and I created a prototype course . The course will contain 21 hours of 100 % practical legal training , focused on corporate and banking
law , to give them a true idea of what meant to be a banking and corporate lawyer , day by day .
Aplication
I reached 8 junior lawyers , who were passionate about banking law , and I offered them the course for free . I rented a very nice conference room instead of a traditional classroom , to make them feel like they were in an office working .
The first 2 sessions , where focused on the most simple topics , like creation of corporations , and we had workshops where they learned how to draft and create a corporation from scratch .
They had the opportunity of learn about banking products , and to draft credit contracts . My method was based on “ learning by doing ” .
Insight
The group was composed by a 2nd year law school student , 2 junior lawyers working on banks , 1 senior lawyer who never practiced banking law , and senior year law school students , who wanted to become banking lawyers when they graduated .
The first day , some of them did not have an idea of what an interest rate was . And with the days passing by I saw how they started to speak with banking terms , and they were drafting contracts guided by me , but totally understood the subject . It was amazing to see them how they evolved in every class ! I proved that practice in legal industry is key .
Approach :
After we finished the course , I made some adjustments on the syllabus , and included the use of TCs , to make classes more interactive .
After that learning launch , Beyond Law School was formally founded .

But the big problem , was that I had to spend a lot of time , training them , and as the legal manager , with deadlines , working meetings in house and outside the office , I had a very limited time to do so . But I remembered when I was beginning my career , that I had to learn by practicing .
So , I decided to create a legal training program focused 100 % in practice , to help junior lawyers improve their day to day skills in banking law , so they could achieve more job opportunities , and to support legal managers who wanted to train their in - house junior lawyers .
Selection
I was convinced , that people learn more when they do things . Actually , there is a pyramid of knowledge created by Cody Blair that says : 75 % of knowledge after 24 hours comes from what we practiced . So , It was time for a LEARNING LANCH . I wanted to test my hypothesis , and I created a prototype course . The course will contain 21 hours of 100 % practical legal training , focused on corporate and banking
law , to give them a true idea of what meant to be a banking and corporate lawyer , day by day .
Aplication
I reached 8 junior lawyers , who were passionate about banking law , and I offered them the course for free . I rented a very nice conference room instead of a traditional classroom , to make them feel like they were in an office working .
The first 2 sessions , where focused on the most simple topics , like creation of corporations , and we had workshops where they learned how to draft and create a corporation from scratch .
They had the opportunity of learn about banking products , and to draft credit contracts . My method was based on “ learning by doing ” .
Insight
The group was composed by a 2nd year law school student , 2 junior lawyers working on banks , 1 senior lawyer who never practiced banking law , and senior year law school students , who wanted to become banking lawyers when they graduated .
The first day , some of them did not have an idea of what an interest rate was . And with the days passing by I saw how they started to speak with banking terms , and they were drafting contracts guided by me , but totally understood the subject . It was amazing to see them how they evolved in every class ! I proved that practice in legal industry is key .
Approach :
After we finished the course , I made some adjustments on the syllabus , and included the use of TCs , to make classes more interactive .
After that learning launch , Beyond Law School was formally founded .

Challenge : When I was working as a university tutor . I noticed that a group of students were worry and loosing time in their assignment . They were asking to choose a problem in their Innovation course but they were arguing about solutions of different problems . They were losing energy and even one of them decided to leave the course . They were talking about brilliant ideas to solve environmental problems but they did n’t agree in a single problem . So , I remembered that when I was working at a NGO , giving business support to an entrepreneur to make a change in its business model , he were losing energy and time to take any single decision . Hi had not an open mindset to change as my students . Therefore , I decided to talk to my students a story .
Selection : The story telling tool facilitates the connection with your audience ’s emotions because you share a message , you creates a cause , you ask and answer and you give a change to talk about tensions . But you should give a clear sequence of events , to know your audience and their needs . When you create a cause , you unite people . Storytelling has a purpose and an emotional connection . When you tell a story you create a moment of reflection and you create energy and passion and excitement around something . And this is what my students needed .
Application : I started to talk about an entrepreneur who was really worry and anxious about the results of their enterprise . And he must deal with new stricter rules about the environment . So , he must change his technology to reduce the CO2 emissions . I propose him to do a pilot using a ventilator in his operation process . It was a success that took less time than to change his mindset . Testing an idea allowing him to invest and increase his incomes and protect the environment . Students decided do n’t lose time and were enthusiastic about the idea of taking action immediately and find a problem .
Insight : I connected with my students telling a real story . We are all humans and we have emotions in common . If I use the storytelling tool , I help people to take action and change their mindset . People can avoid lose energy and time , knowing personal and real stories . Students felt as the entrepreneur taking action in his business .
Approach : I believe that in this case , storytelling tool was useful because this group of students changed their mindset ; they stop to argue and started to take action . Others tutors , knowing that , started to use it and now the course of innovation is using the storytelling as a teaching methodology .

Challenge – I was leading a team before of technical people who are managing also their own individual section ’s operations composed of both relatively young scientists and personnel who are in the company for a number of years . We were in a phase of several changes happening both in the organization ’s composition , regulatory requirements and scientific developments . My team ’s challenge at that moment was to identify actions to steer the whole team towards all these changes and developments , ensure sustainability of operations in terms of manpower , compliance to both regulations and standards , and technical developments .
Selection – For this particular challenge , we identified mind mapping tool to help us with the process of sorting through all the available information with the team , identify interconnecting factors across the different section operations and various changes and developments within the organization and outside which may affect the team as well . From the video lecture of Professor Moore , the mind map is not to show your mind only but the minds of all your customers , look for patterns and themes in your data – in this case , the mind map will show the minds of all stakeholders of the team .
Application – We applied the mind mapping tool in two phases to manage effectively the discussion in a smaller team . The first phase involved all the stakeholders per section , 10 to 15 people which include section manager , section scientists , section personnel . My observation then was that the personnel were usually more open and freer to voice out opinions and suggestions when in a smaller group and among common team members , hence the two - phase approach to the activity . The second phase involved mind map activity for 20 - 25 people representing per section and other stakeholders of the team . The second phase included the output of each sections , provided by the section manager and two or three section members , and the discussion among stakeholders present for the second phase . Each mind mapping activity was structured for each stakeholder to identify available information ( economic , political , technology , legal , environment , institutional ) and factors to consider that may affect the team ’s financial , customer , process , and learning and growth aspects . All were provided with post - its and given ample time to put “ their minds with no restrictions ” on the maps with identified “ column - topics ” . A team discussion was then conducted to find connections , bridge or clarify information / opinions shared , and group together “ common themes ” .
Insight - From this mind mapping exercise , the team was able to put together “ all the minds ” of stakeholders and create a wholistic map that better served us towards the next step of addressing the challenge . When faced with so many information and factors to consider in order to address a particular challenge , it tends to become overwhelming with a tendency to focus only on one obvious aspect , and risk losing valuable perspectives of other stakeholders of the team and of the process . After the mind mapping activity , the group was able to show more their engagement in coming up with suggested actions and programs to address negative effects , sustain good areas and innovate amidst the various changes and developments in the organization and its peripheries .
Approach – In the next application of mind mapping tool , I think it may be better to invite members of the other division of the organization to have an “ outsider ” perspective during discussion or get advance information / input / insights from others through interview in order to get “ outsider perspectives ” and then incorporate these during mind mapping activity and discussion .

The first tool I would use , would be the Visualization , or Visual Thinking Tool , to understand the problem before identifying and assuming possible solutions to the problem . I will later use this approach to observe the customers . I would choose mind mapping for this . As mind mapping helps to organise many things , just in one doodle I could say .
Application
I would start the process by borrowing the concept from previous research , and discussed in Dave Gray ’s book , “ The Connected Company ” . If the approach would help then great , or else I would do a different thing visually . I would call all my foodie mates / customers , give them menus of different South Indian restaurants .
For the activity , I would divide the customers into 4 - 5 groups of participants each . Each representing what type of menu is promising , font wise , colour wise , image wise , and which restaurant is good quality wise , quantity wise , etc . Each group would have a small ruled book that they could write on directly , or use sticky notes for comments . Also , I would ask them some questions to answer , I give them approximately 45 minutes or more to discuss the questions while they are analysing which place is promising … I would keep the common ones in the insights of each group , and then add additional insights after the group discussion and write it down in one of the book ’s last page … . Later on I would create a mind map doodle that would combine the shared and new insights from the group discussion , and then create something that incorporates their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group .
Insight & Approach
What I could learn from conducting this exercise with several groups would be that I could incorporate their feedback which is very important for understanding them . The most valuable aspect of the activity would be shared through mind mapping , shared learning occurs while they would work to define their problem . It would give them a more clarity , a focal point for discussion that would make them share their perspectives and develop insights into potential root causes of their problems . They could then help me understand and the owners understand how they could represent themselves better which could lead to a successful business .
From this I learned that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning , next time I would use the visualization tool for every starting point for design activities which would be followed by mind mapping , because as a group or as an individual , it is important to understand and learn system thinking then understand the accessibility of ideas and then focus on the end result as to what would work . I hope this would work and I would love to incorporate this after this covid- 19 situation , because we miss eating South Indian food !

As a product developer we are always looking to respond to consumer preferences and concerns . Through the last years , juice companies have seen a decline in the intend of purchasing 100 % juices . In this case , the challenge is to create a strategy to respond to the decline in fruit juice purchasing . Marketing has already been doing the research on consumer behaviour using journal mapping and has gathered excellent data .
Selection
Since marketing had already collected data during their journal mapping , we find out that the best way to analyze this data is by using the mind mapping tool . This tool allows us to find patterns and insights that will contribute to understand our consumers concerns .
Application
Stakeholders were invited to a group session . Marketing explained how they performed the journal mapping and lay out the consumers comments and answers to their intent of purchasing fruit juice on the walls . The participants were asked to walk around the room and without talking to each other create categories using colour coded post - it notes . Then , participants were divided in groups and asked to talked about their finding and create clusters of their categories , for example “ weight control ” , “ prefer to drink water ” . Then they were asked to ask the why ’s of these categories in order to find out connections between clusters , for example “ fruit juices are perceive as high sugar drinks ” .
Insight
We find out that adult consumers are switching drink preferences to water , tea or coffee . In some cases , parents prefer to give kids water but ironically when kids are sick , they give them apple juice for hydration and its vitamin C content . This design thinking tool help us understand that even though people perceived fruit juices as high sugar beverages , there is a white space to add functional ingredients such as vitamins , antioxidants and other nutritional ingredients that will increase their intend of purchase .
Approach
For this challenge , mind mapping was a good tool to use , since it helped us understand the data through the eyes of the other stakeholders . It was also a fun tool to use as you get to interact and understand other people ’s point of view of the challenge . In this case , we got good insights of our challenge and now we are able to translate this insight into a brain storming session .

Challenge
As a frontend developper my global challenge is to create new applications or websites providig new services in order to facilitate our daily life and to convince people of the need for my service I will need a tool of design thinking of course . The suitable one is storytelling because I have to speak about current problem that I am trying to solve giving a real example to make people discover how much this service is needed .
Selection
We all know that if we want to lead people do something that it has never been done before we ’ve got to help them imagine what this new world could look like so I ’ve got to describe the service and the future state using it , trying to touch people emotinally using storytelling to let them start seeing and believing what I am speaking about .
Application
I have a story about using storytelling . In discussing a web - site we ’ve created , this website ’s purpose was encouraging students to work on freelence to earn money and practice what they are studing at the same time , the group creater of the website should look for opportunities then devide the project into small tasks , every student can get a task according to his skills . The story I ’ve tell them was about a student who was very good at their studies but he could not continue because of his bad financial situation so he decided to drop out of school
Insight
On the one hand the story I mentionned has encouraged so many students to subscribe in our website to find their chance , have an income and develop their skills , in the other hand it encourage many subscribers to put their projects in our web site in order to help those students and discover new talents and skilled people .
Approach
Well storytelling have too many positive effects for example Through stories we move people , we convince them to support our ideas and we encourage them to spread our message . But also the other tools of design thinking should be used in our decisions they can enhance our choice and help us to provide more using less .

We all know that if we want to lead people do something that it has never been done before we ’ve got to help them imagine what this new world could look like so I ’ve got to describe the service and the future state using it , trying to touch people emotinally using storytelling to let them start seeing and believing what I am speaking about .
Application
I have a story about using storytelling . In discussing a web - site we ’ve created , this website ’s purpose was encouraging students to work on freelence to earn money and practice what they are studing at the same time , the group creater of the website should look for opportunities then devide the project into small tasks , every student can get a task according to his skills . The story I ’ve tell them was about a student who was very good at their studies but he could not continue because of his bad financial situation so he decided to drop out of school
Insight
On the one hand the story I mentionned has encouraged so many students to subscribe in our website to find their chance , have an income and develop their skills , in the other hand it encourage many subscribers to put their projects in our web site in order to help those students and discover new talents and skilled people .
Approach
Well storytelling have too many positive effects for example Through stories we move people , we convince them to support our ideas and we encourage them to spread our message . But also the other tools of design thinking should be used in our decisions they can enhance our choice and help us to provide more using less .

Challenge and selection
I get the help of the tool of visualization and visual thinking because it is the easiest and the way that I am mostly talented in . I can get a shared and diverse idea of stakeholders and it helps me to plan it overall . I usually use this on customers who are in an interest of developing a software for their companies to make it efficient and so that they can provide their services too using these programs . I use strawman technique for the questions that I ask from them prior to start of the software development process which is the requirement gathering process . Helps me to define the scope , boundaries relationship between the entities and the key elements .
Application
Usually start the process with a straw man graphic of the problem domain . Ill draw from the requirements which the client provides . The materials are voice records , use case scenarios , various documentations of the requirements , and user stories . Plus the interviews .
If needed I might have to use various approaches like “ front - stage / back - stage ” and etc . 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 requirements , such as , the things what the client need in order to get this project a success . So that I can map the users and what they want from this system to be developed . Also I will have a column which specifies the propriety level of the requirement . So that I can inform the developers what requirements are most crucial in the system . 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 example ( Activity diagram with swim lanes ) .
For the activity , I will divide the stakeholders into participants each representing a different area of interest of their requirements . Each group receives a set of sticky notes to make comments and get into details of each requirement . I give them two - three questions to answer , like 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 some time to discuss the questions and mark up the graphic . As each group intelligences out , I record shared aims in the visions of each collection , and then additional intuitions that come from the group conversation on an other copy of the graphic . After the meeting , I convert each group ’s set of sticky notes as an artifact , create a view that syndicates the common and new thoughts from the group session .
Insight & Approach
I have learned from having this exercise with several groups of clients that , while the graphic , specifically the revised graphic that includes their comment is significant to strengthen the comprehension of the problem . The more valuable feature of the activity is the shared insights and shared learning that occurs while they are working to define their problem space . The graphics can fast recognize where they are in the graphic and can more vastly increase new insights about relationships between key entities . They can also identify variables in the problem scope . Later I learnt that the greatest valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning , I would use the visualization activity as a preliminary fact for a sequence of design thinking activities . Then the revised graphic .

Challenge and Selection
Being a Technical Specialist , I always prefer visualization to better explain and understand any given problem and its solution . It helps to get into the details and to stay focused within the scope . I do practice visualizing the problem a bit and then the solution to the product owners and business analysts of a Travel Company , where in it helps to identify the riskiest assumptions and taking up any futuristic topics to a whiteboard parking lot . In addition , it helps to identify the pain points , opens up new opportunities in extending the solutions to make the best out of it . Visualizing also helps while explaining the technical design to the team of software developers , working on implementing the solutions .
Application
During the development and maintenance cycle for a year , there were multiple issues with the project and redundant tasks carried out by few teams . The customer came up with an issue “ Delivered artifacts does not meet the agreed scope as per contract ” . We had multiple level of internal discussions , technical and managerial team came up with huge estimates over months to deliver the solution . Since , there was not enough surplus budget to deliver the solution and they end up being hypnosis .
To resolve the issue , I thought have more insight to the problem . 1 ) Took few meeting with the customer manager regarding their delivery schedules to buy time . 2 ) Had more discussions to deep dive into the problem that they were facing . Everyone has the same thought and to get a solution from us being the service provider . Based on the discussion , prepared a spreadsheet and shared it with customer tech leads to answer a questionnaire with few yes / no questions , it was quick response . With all their feedback , 3 ) prepared a technical presentation with a strategic solution to address their exact issue and a value add in the same presentation that could ease out few more issues . They had very comments with add - ons , this made me to revisit and share the final approach incorporating all their requests .
Later , with the feedback from the technical team . I prepared a separate presentation from managerial , which had more details about the results on the strategic solution , also projecting the value add with statistics . In addition , the timeline for the strategic solution with value add features were 10 days , which played a major part in getting all approvals from the customer and internally organization . It has also fit in the left budget and still profitable to the organization compared with previous huge estimates .
With the success from the lateral approach , took another change to present a solution , which would reduce monthly budget spent on database resource for the customer on monthly basis in BAU Tracks by approaching to the problem with a solution . Initially I just had a thought and sent an email to know the interest area of the customer ’s technical project managers . In reply , he was very much impressed with the solution enabling team being self - serving for their configuration updates without outages in live environments .
1 ) Prepared the categorization of sensitive and non - sensitive data , simple workflow for the user
request approvals .
2 ) Presented the design with the technical presentation for technical and functional group with
number and potential increase in efficiency .
3 ) Finally ! The cost involved and the results in reduced monthly spends !
The customer approved design , but there was a catch with the strict timeline and resource . This time as a team , we prepared a k - map to resolve the issue by restructuring the approach with horizontal loading of resource and vertical timeline with interval . The execution plan as well structured as custom k - map and a state diagram to share with customer and they were happy ! . Quarterly results increased the revenue and our company received the award as the best service provider amongst the competitors .
Insight and Approach
All these expertize has increased the interests over design thinking and made our team to apply in all basis . Visualizing the thought to the audience helped acting as a catalyst in thought processing of the participants among various group either from technical or functional background . This build a stage from them to come up and share their thoughts , collaboratively it resulted in agreeing on a high value deliverable and riskiest assumption on every move leading to success . The visuals and designs been circulated easily and it helped in articulating various solutions reach the stakeholder quickly . Building stage maps , helped in gaining more confidence with the senior stakeholders by visualizing the results with timeline .
Many other projects in our accounts started presenting state diagrams with their bids and solutions receiving more attraction towards our company . This helps the audience to decide on next big moves based on the current needs . In addition , it helped build strong relationships with customer on a longer run .

a ) I am an officer for the Korean culture club at my university . We initially started off as
an organization who had a shared interest over popular culture : Korean dramas , K- Pop , and the entertainment industry . Over the past two years we have expanded our club from 20 members to approximately 50 members . With each year we have gained more people who share a similar penchant for Korean culture like we do . However , one of the challenges we face is with the lack of native Koreans in our club . This past year we decided to change our mission statement to encompass traditional culture as well as popular culture . One of our biggest issues has been cultural appropriation . Because none of our office board is Korean or has a deep enough understanding of certain aspects of Korean culture we would like to have someone who has a better understanding to assist us in creating better quality meetings for our members .
b ) There is another Korean organization primarily for international Korean students
called the Korean Students Association ( KSA ) whom we would like to seek help from ; however , whenever we try to approach them with an idea we are shut down . We have failed to understand why and want to approach them again with a different method .
2 . Selection : In your own words , briefly describe the tool you selected ( e.g. , what it is and why you
selected it for your challenge -- including any appropriate video lecture references ) .
a ) The tool I decided to use for this scenario is visualization , to achieve a shared
understanding of the situation among a diverse group of officer from our own board and KSA ’s board . I also decided to use this tool because of the language barrier between our officers and the KSA officers . I wanted to use a tool that goes beyond using words for communication .
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 ) .
a ) To apply visualization to this situation we decided to conduct a joint group meeting
between our officers and KSA ’s officers . Once everyone was seated we gave a quick introduction into our mission statement and what we stood for . Throughout the rest of the meeting we ran through our previous presentations which contained visuals of the highlights of each meeting such as : popular Korean events that were happening in Dallas , images of artists holding concerts nearby , and graphics of food we were going to have at that particular meeting . Running through each presentation created a more holistic approach that our organization had a genuine appreciation for Korean culture , just lacked a deeper knowledge of it due to our own individual backgrounds .
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 ) .
a ) Some of the insight we gained was that there was a lot of misinterpretation to how
our organization functioned as a whole . Many of the KSA officers were under the impression that our group did n’t appreciate Korean culture for all of its aspects and assumed we only liked Korea for its image . While we explained we could n’t properly teach certain aspects of the culture due to our lack of understanding ( and did not want to pass that onto our members ) , we did work very hard to promote an environment that fostered a genuine love and understanding for Korean culture . We explained to them that we would host a few language sessions with our members . These sessions focused on learning Hangul ( the Korean alphabet ) , and basic greetings , something we could properly after hearing these phrases so often . In
addition , we would try to collaborate with the Asian Center in Dallas to take our members to Korean festival events when possible ; but due to how little events are hosted each year we could only do this a handful of times . Finally if there was something we were not sure of when teaching we would do proper research beforehand to delineate any cultural appropriation . After much explanation we reached an agreement to have the KSA officers attend one of our meetings so that they could see how our meetings were run .
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 .
a ) Originally during our meeting we used a lot of images to convey our points : such as
going through previous presentation slides which contained graphics of key points we were going to discuss . If I was going to do this differently I would have asked our historian to collect highlights of various photos from our meetings to gain a clearer perspective of what happens during each meeting . I think this would have added a lot of clarity between each group of officers .

After much explanation we reached an agreement to have the KSA officers attend one of our meetings so that they could see how our meetings were run .
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 .
a ) Originally during our meeting we used a lot of images to convey our points : such as
going through previous presentation slides which contained graphics of key points we were going to discuss . If I was going to do this differently I would have asked our historian to collect highlights of various photos from our meetings to gain a clearer perspective of what happens during each meeting . I think this would have added a lot of clarity between each group of officers .

Challenge
I am currently involved in a project to offer ecommerce / online solutions to SMEs in Brazil ( not only for trading online but also solutions that allow online customers to engage with brick and mortar businesses ) . Though the Brazilian market presents many ecommerce platforms for those who want to sell on the internet or build an online presence , most of the ecommerce websites work directly with trade , while sectors like industry , services and agriculture have a much lower share . With that in mind , my team ( two partners and I ) have done a market research to understand which industry would be eager to adopt ecommerce / online solutions but still did n’t have any products / services which would be better fitted to their needs . With the research we were able to select an industry and to collect some data in loco .
Selection
Since I was taking a course on Design Thinking and in order to understand better the businesses owners ’ view of ecommerce I ended up deciding for the visualization tool . The choice was made mainly due to the lack of experience and because I took in consideration some words from the video Visualization Tool of week 1 which basically says that to improve visualization skills we must practice . So we decided to practice .
Application
After defining the industry , we made some contacts and were able to engage in small talk with some businesses owners initially , visiting the most open - minded later ( three owners by team member , nine in total ) . We had some data in hand but no crystalized information . To have a better understanding of the businesses owners ’ profiles and based on one example of the book Designing for Growth : A Design Thinking Tool Kit for Managers and also the example of the MeYouHealth personas I proposed an exercise which would consist of a matrix 2X2 that measured two things : the level of knowledge among businesses owners about ecommerce and the importance they believed ecommerce has or could have in their businesses . We were able to find four personas , since the Clueless one to the Frustrated as shown in the figure 1 below .
Figure 1 – Businesses owners ’ personas
To find the personas we took a list of around 20 attributes and characteristics from the business owners we were able to observe during our talks and visits . Then we distributed each item of the list inside each square according the similarity presented with both dimensions ( Clueless = less knowledge X less importance , Skeptical = more knowledge X less importance , Busy = less knowledge X more importance , Frustrated = more knowledge X more importance ) . After allocating the items we were able to define the business owners ’ personas .
Insight
The exercise allowed us to understand better some aspects of our potential customers . During it we were able to set an array of dimensions with which we can explore and run more experiments . Though it was not already focused on the problems we want to solve we really think our team is better prepared to present to each one of the business owners we talked until now solutions that will fit into their expectations and in many cases exceed them . The exercise was only the first step , we still need to understand what are the real needs and unarticulated desires and how we can develop and offer products and services that will reach those needs and expectations .
Approach
We really believe the Design Thinking tools will be of great help during the process and I think specially the learning launch tool . In fact we discovered that setting the platform is not the hard part , the great problem is to set a platform that really answers business owners ’ and customers ’ expectations at the same time . With more practice we probably will be able to find much more insights and develop solutions that really create value for those who are going to use them .

My team is comprised of 5 managers , 1 senior manager , 7 staff members and 3 interns . We seem to have issues adopting and committing to new processes or tools for accomplishment reporting . Our work requires various forms of reporting to various audiences through multiple media , such as internal reports to leadership , newsletters to external partners , public social media posts , program advertisements to university faculty and students , etc .
As a corporate requirement , teams meet weekly to discuss updates , project progress , accomplishments , any risks or issues , and current work . I decided to utilize this corporate reporting tool as the main source for our accomplishment content . However , we were not receiving the type of relevant information we typically need , or team members were not reporting accomplishments at all .
In order to best determine the path forward for our team , I decided to use the Visualization tool to create a flow chart to map out the flow of our inputs , activities and outputs to present to the team . Creating a flow chart allowed me to list all the existing tools , meetings , reporting mechanisms , and communications products we currently have , and how they are all connected . My team is comprised of mostly analytical members , so I hoped that seeing this flow visually would assist them in understanding the importance of each tool and its usage .
Application I started to create the information flow by first listing our communications products and reporting requirements . These included items such as newsletters , Annual Collaboration Reports , press releases , management assurance reports , etc . From there , I listed our current sources of information , or inputs . I organized these into high - level categories , such as information from researchers , outcomes of on- campus events , and engagements with other programs . I broke those inputs down further to show the specific sources where we gather this information . I added our mechanisms ( or tools ) for how we collect this information and because our program has members that fulfill multiple roles across teams , I highlighted the area where high - level tasks lie , and marked specific actions those members would take for reporting purposes . I then added arrows to connect all these pieces together to create the actual
flow . Finally , I added the activity through which that tool is used , such as meetings or actions a specific team member takes to share information .
Figure 1 . Information Flow . Specific information removed for example/ sharing purposes .
Insight Through applying the Visualization tool to address my challenge , I realized the problem I was trying to address was not accurate and that my goal needed to be adjusted . Instead of creating a new process or tool , I needed to convince my team members to begin to use each tool that already exists in a unique way , and rely on all members of the team to report within their own role , which cut down on duplicate requests for information and data calls . This also streamlined the way our Communications team collects accomplishment information to use for our reporting products .
This was the first time I have used a tool like this in this capacity . Of course , I ’ve drawn on white boards during meetings to solve a problem or provide clarity to team members , but I have n’t ever exerted this much effort to understand all working parts that feed into a challenge or issue . Generally , my team will jump into making changes to our processes or tools as a quick fix . By using this tool , I was able to address the challenge and determine a path forward that did n’t require any extra work on anyone on the team , rather just a shift in operations .
Approach When I presented this to my team , they received it well . However , they did ask for additional charts breaking down the different pieces of the flow ( inputs , outputs and mechanisms ) and an explanation of their function and purpose in relation to our program as a whole . I plan to continue using visualization tools in the future to address challenges , but I would prefer to work these charts out as a team rather than individually . Although I enjoyed gaining an understanding of the big picture , I believe this would serve as a great collaborative tool and the entire team could benefit from the activity as well .

I have as a challenge to bring people into a gallery so that they can buy the offered items from different areas . Unfortunately the gallery does not have the benefits that a shopping center requires today . It has no cinema , recreation or leisure areas . It has no " anchor " marks . It is a gallery for independent brands .
Selection : Mind mapping tool
I will have 2 working groups :
Internal group : Made up of the people who work within the gallery . We have to understand their needs . External group : Made up of people who pass through the area but do not enter . Hear what they would like .
Application
Conversing with the working groups , we concluded that they need to improve the visitor 's " shopping experience " . Many ideas came out to improve . Not having many resources , ideas such as cinemas , large events , etc . were discarded .
90 % of both groups like to interact on social networks and use it to socialize , 80 % of them take selfies on sites they like and upload it to their profiles .
Perspective and focus
When talking to the store owners , it was concluded that the entire gallery area will have to have art everywhere you look , famous cusroas decorating a blank wall , graffiti down the stairs , the idea is to do something like Wynwood . and visitors can have not only where to buy , but also places where to take the best photos and be able to spend a different moment with the family .
Strategic alliances were obtained to support the project with paint , banners , spray cans , and self - adhesive vinyl .

Challenge and Selection
I chose to use the Learning Launch tool to help in providing a solution to young university students desiring to find out their purpose and living it out through campus and once they leave college . There has been a challenge of most university students leaving campus and having no idea what to do and especially when they do n’t get jobs soon after leaving campus . There was a feeling that there is need to create a platform for them to prepare them for life after campus whether they got employed or ventured into businesses . My team and I thought of starting a programme / mentorship program to provide a holistic approach to life from campus and into the world because we realized the curriculum in university did not provide for much life skill training . We used this tool because we needed the students input to come up with a program that serves and meets their need .
Application
We started the process by approaching the management team of the 4 campuses we wanted to work with on the idea and they gave us a go ahead to share our questionnaires with the students asking them to share their views on what they felt were some of the things they would like to know or learn that may help them step confidently into the ‘ world ’ after campus . The questions were open - ended to allow them freedom to give all responses they felt were relevant to their needs . We wanted to find out where their pain points were . Their responses were varied from spiritual development , networking , financial development , and relationships , personal and professional development . Others needed guidance on personal , professional and even leadership development . We also wanted to know if they would be willing to pay for the program and how frequent they would like the training to be held . The frequency needed to align with their school timetable since not all students lived in the same city / town as the campus and if the program extended beyond the school term , it would inconvenience some of these students . The questionnaires were given to a total of 400 students from the 4 campuses we had approached and we required the responses in 2 days .
Insight and Approach
After receiving the responses from the students , we went through them compiling the feedback in an exercise to find out if the responses aligned with our assumptions at the start of the process . To a larger extent , the responses aligned with our assumptions and
what did not align we shelved for future use / improvement . Their views and suggestions were then compiled and we used it to prepare training modules based on the subjects / topics shared by the students . We were able to develop a 10 - week programme that covered topics that were very relevant to the students and meeting their need of life skills development . Class attendance was once a week on a Saturday and the first season classes were offered for free as a test . We had 250 students in attendance for Season 1 . The subsequent seasons have seen a growth in student numbers and we have introduced an affordable fee to cater for snacks and the certification . We added the certification because the students needed a document to show their participation in the program . We also chose a central venue that was easily accessible to all the attendees coming for the training .
One of the lessons learned from this process is that the best way to provide relevant and workable solutions to your audience / customers is to incorporate their views and concerns while developing a solution for them because they are co - creators in the process . Listen to their views and concerns as well and convert the information into a solution . The clients are also willing and happy to be included in the process and they take up ownership of the process .
We also appreciated those who did not agree with our assumptions and their concerns have been noted and we look forward to use them for further development of the current program or even use them to develop something new .

I started out working in blood collection , drawing blood and doing medical examinations on blood donors . One of the first projects I got assigned to was designing a new center for blood collection in which we would collect plasma ( a component of blood ) more efficiently , faster and cheaper , while also satisfying more of our donors needs . Before I started working on this ambitious project , another department performed an analysis on the needs of the donors by asking them to fill out a survey . With the acquired data they established some design criteria and a draft of a new process of registering , performing medical examination and drawing blood at the new blood collection site . Because this will be a new building , we also have the freedom to design the physical space in a way that suits our new process , a blank canvas to start from . I , as an IT representative , was added later to the team . The What is stage was already passed and the “ Wowing ” concepts from the What if stage were already chosen . I was presented with a process plan which had a lot of gaps , unfortunately not the kind of gaps that would leave room for others to contribute , but holes in the reasoning . The process plan was very inconsistent and though some solutions in it were very innovative , they would pose a lot of major practical issues in the daily workflow . The whole process was aimed at a ‘ happy flow ’ , if one thing would differ from business as usual , there were no back up processes in place to prevent long waiting times for donors or unsafe situations . In this project we are working with different departments and we would be drifting off in the same arguments in different meetings . It was obvious that some of the team members were getting tired of discussion and were leaning towards settling for ‘ satisficing ’ : picking the least worse solution we could all agree on , while individual solutions we could not agree on would be way better options . It was hard to optimize , find a solution that best met design criteria , because those criteria were n’t clearly defined . The input from the survey was interpreted in different ways by different people and because the questions that were asked were only multiple choice , they were already kind of steering the participants into answering what the interviewer wanted to hear ( a tricky sort of confirmation bias ) . It was hard to search for higher ground and alignment with all those different views and opinions . When I first learned about the outcome of the survey , I was quite surprised . I had worked with donors every day for four years , but the problems flagged by the survey were not the topics I had heard donors complain about . Selection I selected storytelling as my tool to use in this phase of the project . Frankly , it was n’t a calculated choice , I had just watched the lecture on my way to work and I decided to give it a try right away when the opportunity arose . Our team for this project consisted of managers of different departments and the surprising fact was that none of them had ever donated blood themselves . A lot of them had even never visited a blood collection center . When I realized this , it became clear why they only designed the new process to work for ‘ happy flow ’ , they just did n’t know about the reality of the people who work there . This is why I used storytelling in two ways . First , I had to draw attention to my view of this problem . It was hard to get a voice in this discussion , especially for me as a non - management rookie employee . The average age in my company is relatively high and I ’m just 25 years old , so it ’s hard to get people to take you serious and to really listen to you in an environment where experience ( translate as : how many years you ’ve been in the company ) is the highest valued asset . Second , I had to try to ignite and unite the people in the room by reminding them of our shared cause to prevent further discussion . Storytelling is a great tool to achieve both of these goals . Application I started telling the story of a donor at the collection center and walked them through the whole process the donor had to participate in . I tried to create a vivid picture in their heads of what was happening to this donor
and what would happen if this donor was very nervous and would maybe even faint during or after donating . This is a very common reaction in donors and it is of great importance to take time to comfort someone who is nervous in order to prevent them from feeling unwell or even fainting . This was one of the things of which they had n’t thought in the happy flow , in which this donor would n’t even have a chance to see a nurse to ask questions , but could only interact with a computer system that does n’t provide any comfort . This story was extra powerful because none of them had ever donated blood , so they could feel themselves get a little anxious , just like the donor would , in this new environment and new experience . Insight After the story finished , there was silence for the first time since I joined these meetings . Suddenly no one felt the urge to prove their point and shout louder and louder to drown out others . A lot has changed in the process plan since and donors as well as blood collection nurses have been invited to join in on the sessions and think with the managers . It is becoming more and more a co - creation of all of the involved stakeholders . I realized storytelling is a very powerful tool to create more vivid images about what it actually is you ’re planning to do and what it means for the people who have to do it on a daily basis . This particular story generated a deeper empathy for the donor as well as the nurses in the blood collection facilities . It made people realize we ’re not competing to have the loudest voice in the discussion , but we ’re all trying to make things better for this shared cause . I think everyone uses storytelling sometimes , I now realize I use it a lot , but never really consciously . Now that I am aware what a powerful tool it is , I can start using it even better . Approach A different approach would have been not to use storytelling , but learning launch instead . If I would n’t have had the hands on experience from being a donor as well as being a nurse , I could n’t have told the story in the same powerful way that I did . At the moment I joined the project , they were unfortunately already way past this stage and had carved their process plan in stone . Instead of using storytelling in this phase of the project , it would have been better to design smaller steps of the process and test them in real life earlier on in the timeline . By testing small pieces of the new process and gathering data on it ’s efficiency and donors satisfaction , it would soon have been painfully clear that their plan would n’t work in the imperfect reality of daily processes where ‘ happy flow ’ is very rare . But then it would only have been a small investment , a small bet , and we would have been able to learn from this experience and alter the small piece of the plan , instead of having to do it all over again and wasting a lot of money . I think it would have been a lot faster to iterate our way to success by testing each small hypothesis again and again until we hit bulls eye and then continuing the process instead of clinging to the assumptions we made without ever testing them against reality .

### Input: Reflection – Storytelling Challenge I have only been working as an IT operations engineer at the blood bank in my country for six months . I started out working in blood collection , drawing blood and doing medical examinations on blood donors . One of the first projects I got assigned to was designing a new center for blood collection in which we would collect plasma ( a component of blood ) more efficiently , faster and cheaper , while also satisfying more of our donors needs . Before I started working on this ambitious project , another department performed an analysis on the needs of the donors by asking them to fill out a survey . With the acquired data they established some design criteria and a draft of a new process of registering , performing medical examination and drawing blood at the new blood collection site . Because this will be a new building , we also have the freedom to design the physical space in a way that suits our new process , a blank canvas to start from . I , as an IT representative , was added later to the team . The What is stage was already passed and the “ Wowing ” concepts from the What if stage were already chosen . I was presented with a process plan which had a lot of gaps , unfortunately not the kind of gaps that would leave room for others to contribute , but holes in the reasoning . The process plan was very inconsistent and though some solutions in it were very innovative , they would pose a lot of major practical issues in the daily workflow .

CHALLENGE
I became a member of a Community Development Association ( CDA ) when I relocated to the area . The members were not impressed with the activities of the Executive Committee ( EXCO ) members due to financial misappropriation , lack of transparency , low level of developmental projects when compared to financial contributions . This limited the members active participation and their financial commitment to the Association .
SELECTION
Members of my street pulled out of the larger CDA to stand alone , and I was made the Acting Leader of the smaller group . The tool I used was the tool of visualization to visualize the bad state of our environment and the likely results if we co - operate to bring the needed development to our street to serve as a reference point to other members in the larger CDA . The need to co - operate among members and transparency on the part of selected leader(s ) . The visualization about digging of Alternative drainage system to control the flood on our road whenever it rains and how to make the street a better abode for the habitants .
APPLICATION
Members were given roles to play in the smaller CDA . Bank account was opened , and the signatories were different from those who get transaction alerts ( both SMS and E - mail ) to serve as check and balance and to bring about the transparency concerns raised in the larger CDA .
Developmental projects that were visualized at selection stage were embarked upon with members actively participated both in financial commitment and physical involvement . The projects embarked upon during the 13 - month tenure with various level of completion stage were :
• Digging of Alternative Drainage system to control flood whenever it rains .
• Provision of streetlight on the 13 electric poles on the street
• Grading of the alternative road access as second entrance to the street
• Numbering of each Building on the street including the vacant plots of land .
• Mounting of Giant Gate at the entrance of the second road ( Ongoing )
Also , individual members were assisted to get Prepaid meters for their building to relief them from the menace of outrageous estimated bills from Electricity Distribution Company .
INSIGHTS
The visualization tool helped to increase the enthusiasm of members to participate effectively in decision makings on steps needed to bring those itemized development to the smaller CDA . This showed the larger CDA on how things could be done better as the smaller CDA became a reference point in the community . Several donations were received from members outside their statutory levies and this shaped my thinking that once members valid agitations are addressed in a peaceful manner , their no limit to their co - operation and the multiplier effect can exceed expectation .
APPROACH
The visualization tool was very successful in addressing ‘ What is ’ , ‘ What if ’ , ‘ What wows ’ and ‘ What works ’ questions in Design Thinking for Innovation . And I intended to sell this idea to the larger CDA for emulation .
Though this visualization was largely successful , there might need to apply more than one approach as few members of the smaller CDA recluse from active participation when the praises and ovation are being showered on me as the innovator of the new development . It gave me an insight that individual wants should not be subsumed into general evaluation no matter how laudable the result was . Other tools like Mind Mapping or StoryTelling might be considered for those individuals who I considered outliers .

INTRODUCTION :
Mind mapping is a way to link key concepts in an organized manner to a specific central concept using branches lines and links . It describes the concept in a way creative way and helps in better understanding the idea behind the concept instead of paragraphs .
CHALLENGE :
The challenge in Mind Mapping is compiling and segregating all relevant information and deciding key points and their position . The mind map created must be clean and understandable , so simple key words needs to be added .
SELECTION :
Mind mapping describes the concept in a way creative way and helps in better understanding the idea behind the concept instead of paragraphs , this improves the minds capacity to remember and apply these concepts and ideas easily . The colours added will help organize the idea better and there will be a clarified explanation for people who need a quick review or insight of the concept .
APPLICATIONS :
Mind Mapping has various applications , it is colourful so it is captivating and helps us remember concepts easily . It is organized to a central idea and gives you a quick refresh on what the whole concept is about with just a few key words . Mind mapping helps you create new connections between ideas that may be not visible in paragraph format .
The few things a mind map should contain are :
1.Central Idea
2.Branches
3.Keywords
4.Colurs
APPROACH and INSIGHT :
Mind Mapping should be neat with as less words as possible with more creativity and organization . Make it more colourful so that the one who looks gets a quick grasp or what you are trying to convey .
I will make my mind maps more colourful and add clean key points that describe the whole idea .

The colony I live had the waste thrown in the corner . And unfortunately or
fortunately my home is near to the place where the waste is thrown . Growing
up every day I would see the waste as my sunrise view . Then one day the
question “ should I see this waste thrown as my view from my balcony all my
life ? “ hit me very hard . Also end of day they use to burn it like weekly once and all the fumes , stagnant smell would come into homes . I thought let ’s know the
root of the problem .Then I thought just by asking my fellow neighbours to divide the waste into two the bio- degradable and non - bio degradable . But
there was no change in them . I got disappointed because all my crises and pain went in vain . I thought let ’s know the root of the problem . Then I thought what if there is a machine that divides waste into two- the bio - degradable and non-
biodegradable . But there is no such machine . Then again I thought what if I
create a system to divide the waste into bio degradable an non - bio degradable
. I approached various people for building a machine but everybody said IT ’S IMPOSSIBLE . They convinced me very wisely .so I quit with much pain . But soon I reach home with much grief that I could n’t do anything for such crises
made me emotional in front of parents . That ’s when my best parents said they
would stay with for as long as I wish to do or work for building it with the
minimalistic salary they get . And that gave me wings and again I started with much more passion than earlier .Somehow I build a machine . So I called all the
members who said it ’s impossible . They arrived I started the machine ,
switched on , it ran for five seconds then the motor blast up and the machine broke into pieces with high sound . The sound of motor blasting and laughter of
the people around hit me again . The day ended very badly . But I did n’t stop
again started from the scratch and build a team then a machine then a
company . And it is now , Tones of waste is segregated and generating value . And from this waste we are making products that people are using .

Challenge .
In the submission , I will describe an issue I faced some years ago . I was working as a financial analyst in the Bank , so according to my functionality , my team and I need to Implement proper financial analysis of clients . We have a very strict policy about the time we able to spend for 1 client/ application . We also have managers who were in charge to find clients as many as possible . Occasionally , we pointed out that we have a number of clients we ca nt analyze in an available period of time . So , each member of the team has more clients than he was able to analyze in the available period .
Selection .
It looks like we have so many applications but do not have time at all . Managers seem to bring to us the number of clients we simple ca nt proses properly according to the schedule . Besides this , more than a half of new clients was not acceptable for our Bank due to not well financial statements and it was a second additional issue for us , we recognized that we spend time sometimes for « no chance » clients .
Application .
First of all , we got an idea to hire extra analyst but this point was rejected . As a result , we decided to teach managers to make a financial analysis of all new clients before us . So it makes them reduce the amount of « no chance » clients and reduce the time our team spent for as well . Moreover , we invented a policy for managers according to which they need to ask clients about 10 questions connected with financial indicators in order to understand is it a good client or nor . Managers were asking all this sort questions during their first call . Additionally , we took lectures and courses for managers in order to improve their skill of analyzing financial statements and financial indicators as well .
Insight /Approach .
In one month of studying managers understand the main purpose and started to filter clients from the first call . The whole proses look to become more efficient . Managers finally started to look for not only for a client or « big check application » , but they started to implements not only manager functions but also for financial analyst functions as well .
As a result we set up the department were all members involve in one proses of getting the best client and best application . All members recognize the main point and were involved in proses efficiently . The new approach reduces the average period of time analyst spend for each one client application and made our clients amount much better .

But , what about all the other pieces of the journey along the way ? We define our patient journey as of discovering , engaging , caring , getting better , managing costs and living life . Every patient has a story ; a place they ’re trying to go . Along this journey , it ’s important for us to remember that and offer ourselves to help them get there . With that , each piece of the journey has potential to add small , but significant , experiences that build personal , meaningful elements . We feel virtual reality could be one of those experiences during the caring part of the journey . But , I did n’t want to offer it and not know what patients thought ( e.g. , content , feelings , physical reaction ) . We do n’t really know how patients will react to it so we need to learn more . Selection : A learning launch is just what ’s needed to help guide this decision and learn more about how patients feel about a virtual reality experience added to care . As I learned in this course , the times of the standard business plan are gone . It ’s time to experiment and not just base our actions on guessing and projection . As defined , a learning launch is a carefully designed experiment or prototype designed to test the key underlying value - generating assumptions of a potential new - growth initiative . A “ business - world application of the scientific method . ” As Sebastian Garcia said in the lecture , “ at learning launch you are launching out there into the unknown . ” And , that ’s exactly what we need to do to learn more about patients ’ feelings on virtual reality . “ New - growth ” for this launch is adding a meaningful experience to patient care through virtual reality . It ’s not based on ROI , it ’s based on adding value patient experience . We need to learn how value is defined in this case . For this we will go through the key stages :
1 . Immerse yourself in the data that already exists .
2 . Generate a new business idea - an educated guess about the opportunity .
3 . Articulate the assumptions on which the new business idea ’s success is based .
4 . Design and conduct a learning launch to test assumptions .
5 . Revise or kill the idea based on your findings .
6 . Scale the business idea when appropriate .
I have found that in health care , learning launches can be a bit tricky as it can be hard to stay quick and nimble along that way . That is the biggest challenge as there are additional variables at play ( consent forms , ensuring confidentiality and total privacy , scheduling and help from staff , cleaning of the equipment - building a protocol ) . Application : I researched the existing virtual reality research and testing that has been done in other health care settings . There is a decent amount of information , but focused on inpatient settings . Overall , the experience is positive in many different applications ( pain , experience , distraction ) . Based on that , we wanted to focus on the outpatient setting and make it transferrable across our regions . Our hypothesis is that virtual reality will help patients ’ immerse themselves in content and be a positive distraction away from treatment in an outpatient setting . Our goal : to talk to 60 patients and 25 care providers across the three regions . What do n’t we know is the value of virtual reality as an experience . Does it have a long term effect on patient experience or just a short - lived feeling ? How nimble can we be in making changes after we implement the program ? If we create a virtual reality program for outpatient treatments and it means short - lived freedom for one patient , is n’t it worth the effort ? We created a simple testing protocol and discussion guide to test our hypothesis . First , we ask patients to tell us a little about themselves and their experience at the clinic . Second , we find out what they know about virtual reality . Then , we give them a choice between two different pieces of content and they experience it . Finally , we ask about their emotional and physical feelings after watching , what they liked , did n’t like and if they ’d want virtual reality as an option when they come in for treatment . Each interview takes 15 - 45 minutes depending on the patient . We estimate it will take about three weeks to interview patients . This is a fast moving test in our world . As of this assignment , I have interviewed 26 patients and 25 care providers . We have also talked to three caregivers who were also interested in trying it out . Insight : At this time , we have run into overwhelming positive results . Nearly all patients feel a sense of transportation and joy with the content . They have been immersed enough that it has served as
a distraction from treatment and many have used the words “ relaxing , ” “ transported , ” “ calming , ” and “ awesome ” to describe their experience . All but one person would want to use it during future treatments . Most rated the experience as a 4 out of 5 with many 5 ratings . If we were to stop here ( and , it would be plenty of interviews to do so ) we ’d be able to make a strong case to get a program in place to enhance experience at the care stop in our overall patient journey . We ’ll continue our interviews so we can have a good sample across our regions , but the learning launch has been very eye - opening to helping understand more about the implementation of virtual reality and helps go beyond typical “ guessing ” approach of business plan and moves us to learning more about real value and definitely builds a stronger case for why this could be a valuable addition to care . Approach : Quite honestly , as I ’ve stated above , I will continue to apply the learning launch technique to this specific challenge . It allows me to be nimble and test new hypotheses quickly and cheaply . As virtual reality technology and content changes , we ’ll need to be agile and keep doing small tests over time to enhance the experience , but also make sure it is still making a difference along the patient journey . Before this class , I was going to write a lengthy business plan built from secondary research and a lot of guessing . Now , I have an agile testing process that allows to learn from real patient experiences and the ability to learn and grow after implementation .

Introduction
Redesigning My Life Through Design Thinking
Design thinking can be a fantastic tool in designing ones life .
Design thinking has helped me create new products , imagine new retail concepts , & solve other abstract challenges . It has also helped me to design a better life for myself . In fact , I believe design thinking may have helped save my life and that it has the power to save the lives of others .
Design thinking did n’t help me survive death from an airplane crash or a car accident or falling off a cliff . What it did do , was help me address a much slower but equally lethal health threat : the heavy stress from feeling a loss of control in my life .
Challenge Sometime ago , I went through a period of massive change . I was promoted into a position of much greater responsibility at work . Concurrently , I was also navigating life as a new father to my four children . These were changes I experienced while living in a new city with few friends and no family in the area to lean on .
I became overly stressed . I quickly found myself feeling like I was n’t excelling at the things that mattered most to me . I started to “ rationalize out ” important aspects of my life . I stopped exercising . I stopped watching what I was eating and started “ stress ” eating . I became more distant from my closest of friends . I stopped taking the time to reflect deeply , to have meaningful conversations with friends & family and also to do the things that made me happy .
I started feeling like I was losing myself . I felt suffocated from the weight of stress , the feeling of dissonance from not excelling in the important parts of my life . I felt disconnected and alone .
I was also constantly tired . I went through a vicious cycle of not sleeping well , to overly - caffeinating myself during the day to compensate for this lack of sleep , back to not being able to sleep when it was nighttime again .
I was far from my “ best - self ” and I knew that I urgently needed to make a change .
I did n’t realize it until months later , that I was about to use design thinking to redesign my life . Application & Insights – A Great Starting Point for Redesigning my Life I knew I had to make an immediate change and I began a quick , yet intense evaluation of my life to understand why I was feeling such loss of control . It was time for me to do what I always preached was important to do for others but had clearly failed to do for myself : empathize .
Self - empathy sounded like it should be easy ; I was already feeling sorry for myself which seemed like a great start . However , I was only scratching the surface and not truly understanding why I was feeling
the way I was . As a brand marketer working with consumers , I ’ve been trained to use tools like interviews and ethnographies to gain empathy but was n’t used to conducting a similar exercise with myself .
I started a personal journal to build deeper insights into my own behavior and state - of - being . While I felt I already knew who I was and what was important to me , I found that journaling myself helped to surface insights and themes that I was not acutely aware of until they were painfully obvious on a sheet of paper .
I put no restrictions on my writing ; I wrote down any thought or feeling that came to mind without editing . It felt scary at first , even knowing that I planned to keep my journal private . However , I quickly found journaling to be mentally freeing and an activity I grew to cherish .
My journal surfaced a number of needs . The need for the support of family & close friends . The need for rest and taking care of my health . The need to let go of long - lasting burdens . The need to live a life of courage and without fear . The need to dream and push myself .
I synthesized the insights from my journal to better understand what was driving my needs and define the specific problems ( aka . “ life design challenges ” ) that I needed to address immediately .
Approach
I began brainstorming ideas as to how I might address my challenges . I listed each challenge at the top of its own sheet of paper and tried to generate as many different ideas for potential solutions as I could .
I chose to ideate by myself first , as this “ design challenge ” was deeply personal and I did n’t feel comfortable sharing the entirety of what I felt with most people . After my initial brainstorm , I did choose to supplement it with some ideas from a few folks whom I believed excelled in my target problem areas .
I paired some of the key insights from my journal with my favorite ideas from my ideation , and put them into a notebook that I frequently use for ideation and deep reflection . This became my working prototype or my so - called “ playbook for my life ” .
My prototype playbook had some straight - forward guidance for simplifying my life including :
▪ One cup of coffee per day , no caffeine after 4 pm
▪ Get 6 + hours of sleep per night
▪ No bright lights / phones while laying down in bed before bedtime
One of the best parts of using design thinking for your own life is that you can implement each stage immediately . There is no organizational buy - in , no coordination of facilities , participants , or workshops . The only buy - in and resources needed come from you .
I could n’t wait to test my prototype and see if my solutions were actionable and addressing the right challenges in my life . After all my self - reflection & ideation , I could n’t wait to “ design - do ” and hopefully regain control of my life .
Outcome I actually started feeling better and more in control even before I tested my prototype playbook . My journal helped me to release the tension in my mind and understand what was going on in my head , while the ideation helped me feel like I was proactively taking action and in control .
I was amazed with how quickly I saw results after implementing my prototype . Simple steps like eliminating PM caffeine intake and developing an AM / night - time routine paid off immediately . I instantly felt better and started sleeping more soundly within days . I also felt less stressed at work and realized for the first time how much excess caffeine was exacerbating my general feelings of stress .
There were many other components of my prototype playbook geared at simplifying my life ( the above is just a very small sample ) . Many of the components I ’ve kept , some I ’ve eliminated or continued to tweak .
Design thinking helped me regain control of my life and I believe it can provide similar results in the lives of others which is why I feel compelled to share my story . I hope I ’ve convinced you in the role that design thinking can play in designing your life , whether it ’s a better career , a better lifestyle , a better anything .

I stopped taking the time to reflect deeply , to have meaningful conversations with friends & family and also to do the things that made me happy .
I started feeling like I was losing myself . I felt suffocated from the weight of stress , the feeling of dissonance from not excelling in the important parts of my life . I felt disconnected and alone .
I was also constantly tired . I went through a vicious cycle of not sleeping well , to overly - caffeinating myself during the day to compensate for this lack of sleep , back to not being able to sleep when it was nighttime again .
I was far from my “ best - self ” and I knew that I urgently needed to make a change .
I did n’t realize it until months later , that I was about to use design thinking to redesign my life . Application & Insights – A Great Starting Point for Redesigning my Life I knew I had to make an immediate change and I began a quick , yet intense evaluation of my life to understand why I was feeling such loss of control . It was time for me to do what I always preached was important to do for others but had clearly failed to do for myself : empathize .
Self - empathy sounded like it should be easy ; I was already feeling sorry for myself which seemed like a great start . However , I was only scratching the surface and not truly understanding why I was feeling
the way I was . As a brand marketer working with consumers , I ’ve been trained to use tools like interviews and ethnographies to gain empathy but was n’t used to conducting a similar exercise with myself .
I started a personal journal to build deeper insights into my own behavior and state - of - being . While I felt I already knew who I was and what was important to me , I found that journaling myself helped to surface insights and themes that I was not acutely aware of until they were painfully obvious on a sheet of paper .
I put no restrictions on my writing ; I wrote down any thought or feeling that came to mind without editing . It felt scary at first , even knowing that I planned to keep my journal private . However , I quickly found journaling to be mentally freeing and an activity I grew to cherish .
My journal surfaced a number of needs . The need for the support of family & close friends . The need for rest and taking care of my health . The need to let go of long - lasting burdens . The need to live a life of courage and without fear . The need to dream and push myself .
I synthesized the insights from my journal to better understand what was driving my needs and define the specific problems ( aka . “ life design challenges ” ) that I needed to address immediately .
Approach
I began brainstorming ideas as to how I might address my challenges . I listed each challenge at the top of its own sheet of paper and tried to generate as many different ideas for potential solutions as I could .
I chose to ideate by myself first , as this “ design challenge ” was deeply personal and I did n’t feel comfortable sharing the entirety of what I felt with most people . After my initial brainstorm , I did choose to supplement it with some ideas from a few folks whom I believed excelled in my target problem areas .
I paired some of the key insights from my journal with my favorite ideas from my ideation , and put them into a notebook that I frequently use for ideation and deep reflection . This became my working prototype or my so - called “ playbook for my life ” .
My prototype playbook had some straight - forward guidance for simplifying my life including :
▪ One cup of coffee per day , no caffeine after 4 pm
▪ Get 6 + hours of sleep per night
▪ No bright lights / phones while laying down in bed before bedtime
One of the best parts of using design thinking for your own life is that you can implement each stage immediately . There is no organizational buy - in , no coordination of facilities , participants , or workshops . The only buy - in and resources needed come from you .
I could n’t wait to test my prototype and see if my solutions were actionable and addressing the right challenges in my life . After all my self - reflection & ideation , I could n’t wait to “ design - do ” and hopefully regain control of my life .
Outcome I actually started feeling better and more in control even before I tested my prototype playbook . My journal helped me to release the tension in my mind and understand what was going on in my head , while the ideation helped me feel like I was proactively taking action and in control .
I was amazed with how quickly I saw results after implementing my prototype . Simple steps like eliminating PM caffeine intake and developing an AM / night - time routine paid off immediately . I instantly felt better and started sleeping more soundly within days . I also felt less stressed at work and realized for the first time how much excess caffeine was exacerbating my general feelings of stress .
There were many other components of my prototype playbook geared at simplifying my life ( the above is just a very small sample ) . Many of the components I ’ve kept , some I ’ve eliminated or continued to tweak .
Design thinking helped me regain control of my life and I believe it can provide similar results in the lives of others which is why I feel compelled to share my story . I hope I ’ve convinced you in the role that design thinking can play in designing your life , whether it ’s a better career , a better lifestyle , a better anything .

“ A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world . ” - John le Carré
1 . Challenge
I work at a b2b insurance underwriting agency that provides specialized insurance solutions ( art , high net worth properties , personal indemnity , among others ) through brokers , our key stakeholder , to the market . This means that our main client are the brokers and not the final customer . So , our aim is to provide a customer service of excellence to them , so they are comfortable in proposing and “ prescribing ” our solutions to their clients .
In the last year we have been working in improving our customer service and observing if they are aligned with our values through a specially designated task force . To have a more accurate insight on how the behaviour of our team and the values we preach are understood , perceived and impact our brokers we set to adopt designing thinking to transform mere impressions into a more accurate feedback from our stakeholders .
This could at the end confirm that we are right at the spot or that there are changes and improvements to be made , or new ideas to work on and implement , may it be on how we approach our customer service , may it be our values .
2 . Selection
We chose the mind mapping tool for the “ What is ” phase because it allows us to withdraw direct feedback and relevant insights from our stakeholder , through patterns and links , on sight .
Making the brokers , in an informal environment , collaborate with us , they ’re interactions would have a direct impact in the outcome that would , again , turn into a better service for them , more satisfied clients , more business and a higher retention rate . Never the less it would help us to separate what ’s important from what is not , helping us in channelling the right efforts for the next phase .
3 . Application
We invited 20 brokers from different companies in terms of dimension , type of insurance they buy from us or proximity to our team . This meant we had a heterogeneous group with different experiences and different contact with us . They were invited to spend an afternoon at our office because we wanted to have their feedback on customer service .
At our office ’s common area , we ’ve placed series of posters that captured our key values “ Act just and fairly ” , “ Be different ” , “ Always improve the customer ’s experience ” , “ Act as a specialist in everything to do ” as well the central idea “ Customer service ” . This is not one of our formal values , but we needed to see if any patterns and links were generated between this
expression and our values . More , what insight identification , ideas and clusters it produced that helped us to ask the question ” “ if anything were possible , what criteria would your new design meet ? ” and move forward .
After touring through the posters , we divided them into 4 heterogenous groups and asked them to interact directly with the themes , identifying the insights related to each cluster and to look for connections between and among the clusters .
4 . Insight
The impact on the personal relation level was very positive because it was the first time that this interaction happened , and our brokers could have a word on how they perceive customer service , our values and how it , on the long run , would impact the service they get from us . It showed how important it is to interact directly with customers and get feedback , as well as helped us to move from expressions and massive ideas , with or without their validation , to the construction of a concept that was worth devolving and testing .
On the insight level , we were able to identify the following :
• our values are not perceived as warm and close .
• our team , that establishes the communication with our stakeholders , have not fully internalized our values .
• need to revaluate the way we communicate our values to the teams and build from there a customer service of excellence .
5 . Approach
In the future we would use again this tool but amplifying it to two other stakeholder groups : our team and our customers clients .
This would on one side help us to improve our customer service internally and validate ( or not ) our values and on the other side , getting insights on what our customers clients perceive as customer service and if it is aligned with the service we provide .

Challenge In my job , we are having some problems with the content that promotes our products . We are beginning to develop new processes between the different stakeholders affected . So the idea is to rearrange responsibilities in order to create the best content possible ; deliver it to the person in charge of uploading it on a 48hs deadline , and then program them according to the company ’s upcoming products .
Selection Since I began the course , I felt that the visualization tool would be really useful as it would help my team understand how the process can be developed so it helps my fellow coworkers ’s duties .
Application First we drew a diagram of how the process was functioning before . This was very helpful to understand what each of the stakeholders was doing , while having a clear view of the workflow . Then , we interviewed every member of this chain about how they were feeling about their jobs and how they believed this particular process could be made easier . Most of my coworkers felt that there was n’t any technological issue , but that there was so much pressure coming from the marketing teams that they needed more employees in order to handle the workflow properly . From the marketing team point of view , the problem were the other stakeholders .
Insight The visualization tool helped my team take a picture of how the workflow could be enhanced . The fact that there was so much content , made us realize that instead of trying to communicate every single new product , we could make a bigger effort for the most important ones . This would not only let the creative team come up with fresh ideas , but would reduce the amount of unnecessary content ; being able to make a deadline . Even though the marketing teams did n’t like the idea at first , they accepted to try this new approach .
Approach Even though I ’m happy with visualization tool , I would like to try the Learning Launch . I like the scientific method for finding a solution , meaning that we have a hypothesis of what is failing in a process , and we find a way to improve it .

Challenge : There is always a rift between technical person and the management team . In todays field
of business , technology is grasping on almost every business . We have seen drastic steps taken by businesses to just be in the game . And this technological advancement is dependent of Data . It is said ‘ Data ’ is the new ‘ Oil ’ . Various immerging fields like Data Science , Data Engineering , Big Data etc . are appealing decision makers to use it for their businesses . But when the time comes , to convey an Idea across the Board room , we see managers and decision makers finding it difficult to understand the insights presented by technical team ( Data Scientists ) .
I face one such situation in recent past . We were to present an insight on the customers data
on PAN country basis for an automotive manufacturer . When I went to present with my technical specifications , for example – Predictive models based on past data , I found that the Board is getting it difficult to understand the technicality of the model . My complete presentation was futile as I was not able to convince the Board to invest in my model . Selection : When my model was rejected , I and my team were fairly depressed . We worked hard and
did many simulations . We were confident that our model will work and generated great amount of revenue for our company . After introspection I came to a conclusion that we failed to present out Idea across the Board . I came across the Design Thinking for Innovation course and was fascinated with one of the tools – Storytelling . Application : Right after the Storytelling design tool session , I called for a team meeting and asked my
team members to revisit our presentation and find what we lacked in it . My team members were confused because they thought the presentation to be up to the mark . Then I asked my team to present the same presentation for my friends from other department ( Marketing , Sales , Operations , Design ) and take their feedback . The response from my friends was an eye - opener to everyone . They did n’t understand the technicality in the same way as the Board . Then I explained my team to be more vocal and present in layman ’s term . They were confused . I them explained them the concept of storytelling . As I learned in this course , I explained them that a good story is simply conveying a message that is logical , has emotional connection and has a larger purpose . Then I explained them how a good story must be designed particularly for the audience , should have clear sequence of events and should have moments of reflection . I tried to explain then the concept by giving an example of good movie . How a director engages its audience with good plot , how he creates and keeps interest in his viewers , how he creates tension as the plot thickens and then finally when everyone is hooked to the plot the brings in the climax and gives the audience to reflect on afterwards . My team was astonished as they never related such thing with the everyday presentation . They redid the entire presentation keeping in mind what the audience ( The Board ) wants and how the flow should be . They included pictures and videos and animations keeping technicality to as minimum as possible . They gave the Board something to think in easy and manageable words .
Insights : This time the Board was very impressed and sanctioned our budget right away . They got
the whole story about the model , how that will help company to increase revenue . Also , with their suggestions , which came from their business experience , we were fine tune few sections we were having trouble with . The storytelling fundamental were understood by my team and from then after every presentation is made keeping the storytelling tool in mind . Approach : The storytelling approach is very visual and easy to understand . The Board too liked our
presentation way and has requested my team to transfer our learnings to various departments . This course was a great learning and a big help for me and my team .

Challenge
As a designer , I often work on projects that require a lot of systems design planning . Systems design includes studying a current system ( e.g. , Public transportation in a country ) , understanding the current scenario , existing problems and issues within the system , and coming up with appropriate solutions to tackle problems . Recently , I worked on Public transportation in India . My idea was to first understand the current scenario , understand implemented solutions , understand why a lot of the solutions do n’t work in a country like ours , and then go on to finding suitable solutions to overcome existing problems .
Selection
I took up mind - mapping as a tool because it brings to light various problems that we would often overlook . Mind - mapping looks for patterns and themes in existing data , and helps highlight relevant information .
Application
For the first phase of the systems design , I first brainstormed on the various issues pertaining public transportation in India , today . A lot of problems came to light , including overcrowding , lack of maintenance , lack of proper infrastructural development , and so on . Applying the mind map tool helped understand and correlate a lot of these problems . For example , I realised that by tackling an issue like overcrowding , we can cut down on maintenance costs as it results in lesser property damage and property misuse like torn seats , strewn garbage , etc .
A lot of problems were inter - linked with one another . Mind - mapping helped link as well as understand how to go about the problem - solving stage because it changed my approach to a lot of these issues and perspective on how to implement appropriate solutions .
Mind - mapping at the second phase also proved to be fruitful as it helped narrow down important issues ( issues that are of utmost importance and need to be dealt with right away ) that can be dealt with an array of smartly - devised solutions . Mind - mapping helped realise that overcrowding was one of the main issues that required immediate attention due to safety issues as well as maintenance and bus up - keep ’s sake .
Insight
What I have learnt from this is that even a simple tool like mind - mapping can help dig deeper into issues and highlight information . Even by just putting up all problems on the same platform , the correlating and inter - linking of problems shed light on newer and more innovative ways to approach a system issue this broad . This has since changed my perspective about how important design thinking tools like mind - mapping is because it helps understand the underlying issues in a deeper manner and also helps understand how a lot of problems are inter - linked and can be solved in a much more efficient way .
Approach
Ever since realising the true potential of design thinking tools like mind - mapping , my approach to solving problems has changed . I am a lot more efficient and tend to look at problems on a broader platform . Mind - mapping has helped broaden and correlate issues in a way that are smarter to provide solutions for .

I used to volunteer every summer at a home for teenage moms and after one year I decided that I wanted to get more involved , so I applied for a position that required me to go every weekend and even brainstorm ideas for new activities . Sometimes it was really hard to come up with new ideas because it was hard to connect with the girls and get them to open up in order to find out what they ’d be interested in doing .
Selection
After careful thinking , I decided to try storytelling . The girls had a hard time trusting the volunteers because they did n’t know us enough to trust us and they thought we had perfect lives and had nothing in common with them , so storytelling was a way for us to open up to them and in return , they ’d open up to us .
Application
In order to find out what the girls would be interested to do , all the volunteers reunited with them one day and prepared a storytelling party . The main goal was to get them to open up , so we started with some light , funny or scary stories . Then , one by one , all the volunteers started sharing some personal stories about their lives and given the girls ’ pasts I decided to share a story about struggling with anxiety and depression after a mentally abusive relationship and how after seeking help I learned many things about myself and realized that I was a strong independent woman with big dreams and was willing to work hard in order to achieve them . The activity was a success because many girls could relate with some of our struggles .
Insight
By applying the storytelling tool , we also learned that despite having a child , they were very interested in finishing school and going to college , so they asked if we could set up activities that could help achieve that . We set up preparation classes for college and many other activities like painting , programming , sewing , leadership classes , etc .
Approach
Next time I would use the same tool because it was a fun a meaningful way to solve a problem where we were able to come together and find solutions that would benefit everyone .

Challenge :
When working in research , at the beginning of any project it is required to have clear ideas about the topic to be carried out . Especially when working in a group , where each one , with their experience , provides options for a project . Then it is necessary to understand and try to choose a specific topic and focus our ideas towards the same point in order to carry out the initial idea . The challenge is precisely this , to bring together the entire working group and , together , to propose and choose the topic that will be developed during the project that begins .
Selection :
In this case , the tool I have chosen is the mind map since it allows the organization of ideas , taking into account patterns and perspectives , as mentioned in module 3 . With mind maps it is possible to take the ideas of all group participants and organize them in such a way that you have a clear idea of the options available .
Application :
In the case of the beginning of the planning of a project , the use of a mind map was quite useful since , being a diverse group and each person with their own idea and theme , the map allowed to organize all the ideas , put them in agreement to a topic , group them and then , among all the participants , choose based on different criteria which one was convenient to continue to the next stage . So , once the ideal theme was had , it was possible to start planning the rest of the project , based on the map made .
Insight :
In this case , the use of a mind map is adequate to organize the different ideas that the people who make up a work group have . In this way , each person participates actively and is able to make their opinion known . In addition , it was useful for the challenge of starting a collaborative project because the ideas were raised clearly and without limitations , helping to have different points of view that helped to expand the repertoire of ideas and see which of them could be more innovative .
Approach :
Although the mind map was a good decision for this challenge , the visualization tool could also be applied since it allows to have a greater understanding of the ideas of each participant and in this way to be able to solve the problem posed , visual thinking is , so to speak , the way to see in a more direct and tangible way what another person thinks .

Challenge & Selection
A seafarers recruitment company recently contacted us because they had many problems in their recruitment process . They were having problems such as : Many applications were lost in the process , no one knew what stage of the process each application was in , the collaborators were not clear with the step - by - step of each type of application or the documents that the applicants already sent and the collaborators were not giving a correct follow - up to the aplicants . Because of this , it was clear that people needed to align themselves with a centralized and standardized vision of how things should be done within the company . Due to this , we decided to use a visualization technique in order to capture a visual process within the company that would allow everyone to know what the step - by - step of the recruitment process is .
Application
Initially all the information was in the minds of the employees and there was nothing written about the recruitment process . Due to this , it was necessary to initiate a series of interviews with each collaborator individually to know how they performed their daily tasks and what documents were necessary in each part of the process . It was also necessary to know the step by step or sequence of how things were done .
After that , with all the information collected from the interviews . We decided to draw up a Macro or general visual flow chart and a detailed one . Where it could be clearly visualized which roles participated in each stage of the process , which documents were necessary for the entry or exit of each stage and which conditions the person had to know to be accepted or discarded in the process .
Once the visual diagram of the process was finished , we gathered all the collaborators to visually present them what the current recruitment process was like , when seeing the whole process they realized some unnecessary tasks that could be eliminated and also which checklist they should have . carry for each part . Therefore , the result of this application was to allow collaborators to have a single clear vision of what their recruitment process is like and also to have a visual checklist document where the documents available for each application could be easily seen in an orderly manner . The visual process was printed and placed on a wall of the office and from then on after 3 months of applying the process , the business owner is happy because the problems that were had no longer appeared .
Insight & Approach
We found that when people do not have a visual guide of what to do and where what they do leads , they get lost in their own ideas . That is why it is necessary to outline , draw and present in a visual language that allows all people to understand what they do and his purpose within the organization .
By presenting the visual diagram of the process , everyone realized its importance within the company , they were able to give us feedback , identify repetitive tasks , eliminate unnecessary tasks , redesign their documents and have a checklist of each recruitment application .
Today all new collaborators are given an induction of what the complete process of the company is like through the visual diagram that was created by us in this project .

The most common tool of thinking « out of the box » is visualization , which is also the simplest one , as for me . Designing your words and ideas into a structured scheme or sketchy references provides more efficient discussion on a topic . Our society has developed a large range of recognizable symbols , gestures and glyphs that are common all over the world . It becomes clear when a designer chooses to draw his ideas symbolically on a white board , or even show shapes&forms by gestures – we can recognize length , sinuosity , structure in simple shapes , even color and spirit . I prefer visualization as a main tool for planning because I am always bad at explaining , so I try to simplify my thoughts to charts , tables and sketches . This allows my audience to understand what the key elements are and how do they interact .
Application
To begin with , I always start my plan with a tag cloud – it is impossible to avoid words and rough ideas on the first stage anyway . Then I keep on searching on references : photos , maps , charts , icons , architectural plans , stock images , videos and so on . Once I have become acquainted with them , I take a notepad and draw some parts , how I saw them from my angle . This non - verbal way of thinking helps to improve logics and relations among the elements . I also try to stay detached and look at that prototype more soberly – if the scheme uses incomprehensible pictures , there are too many arrows and points or a lack of them , I developed a habit to clear everything and start from the very beginning – back to the words and references – as it ’s also stated in the course .
When the idea has its shape , I am ready to present it to my audience or colleagues . There surely may appear questions at the end of presentation , nonetheless they should be related to further realization , not to the visualized sketch . Sometimes it is even more profitable to draw the ideas together with our group , everyone brings his structure , photo refences .
Insight and approach
I always improve my skills at visualization and logic , the more projects I have , the more experience I get . The best part of this method is how quicker a person grasps the statement , instead of me trying to explain the topic in crooked words and terms .

### Input: Challenge and selection
The most common tool of thinking « out of the box » is visualization , which is also the simplest one , as for me . Designing your words and ideas into a structured scheme or sketchy references provides more efficient discussion on a topic . Our society has developed a large range of recognizable symbols , gestures and glyphs that are common all over the world . It becomes clear when a designer chooses to draw his ideas symbolically on a white board , or even show shapes&forms by gestures – we can recognize length , sinuosity , structure in simple shapes , even color and spirit . I prefer visualization as a main tool for planning because I am always bad at explaining , so I try to simplify my thoughts to charts , tables and sketches . This allows my audience to understand what the key elements are and how do they interact .
Application
To begin with , I always start my plan with a tag cloud – it is impossible to avoid words and rough ideas on the first stage anyway . Then I keep on searching on references : photos , maps , charts , icons , architectural plans , stock images , videos and so on . Once I have become acquainted with them , I take a notepad and draw some parts , how I saw them from my angle . This non - verbal way of thinking helps to improve logics and relations among the elements . I also try to stay detached and look at that prototype more soberly – if the scheme uses incomprehensible pictures , there are too many arrows and points or a lack of them , I developed a habit to clear everything and start from the very beginning – back to the words and references – as it ’s also stated in the course .
When the idea has its shape , I am ready to present it to my audience or colleagues . There surely may appear questions at the end of presentation , nonetheless they should be related to further realization , not to the visualized sketch . Sometimes it is even more profitable to draw the ideas together with our group , everyone brings his structure , photo refences .
Insight and approach
I always improve my skills at visualization and logic , the more projects I have , the more experience I get . The best part of this method is how quicker a person grasps the statement , instead of me trying to explain the topic in crooked words and terms . In comparison with storytelling – it has some relative aspects with visualization , such a logic and correlations , however it still may be not understood with several groups of target audience while mind mapping and learning launch are even more complex . Drawing circles , charts , arrows , straw men , faces , animals and other small things would be way easier to explain to a company ’s boss , your peers and colleagues and even a child .
However , there are some hints to approach this tool faster .

Challenge
I am a member of an entrepreneurial club of our college . In this club we serve as a bridge between the people who make the product ( target audience ) and the customers ( target population ) who use the product . We help in supply chain , marketing and idea formulation . In our product series we were planning to launch a notebook as our new product . We were new to the field of making notebooks . We had some big established competitors in the market whose market share and brand value were very high . We wanted to make our product unique so that we can get some initial sales for our product . It will also help the product to sustain in the market . So we decided to differentiate our product in every aspect . We wanted to differentiate our product right from the target audience ( people who make notebooks for us ) , the hardcover which is used in the notebook . We wanted to focus on a particular target population ( people who use our notebooks ) so that we can acquire some sales .
Selection
The tool that I selected for my challenge is Learning Launch . I selected this tool because making notebook was unknown and we wanted to experiment it in the faster and cheaper manner . This tool involved understanding customers and their expectations . It also includes the shortcomings of the products which exist already in the market . The sustainability check for the product has also to be done so learning launch will help us to adapt or amend our idea . Like the IBM case study cited in the 4th module the idea to redesign the trade show to attract the customer for business development , we required to test our new product in a customer specific platform .
Application
We selected our customers to be school going kids between the age group 6 to 11.To contribute our part to the society through our product we decided to spread awareness about autism . We decided to choose our target audience to be the people who are affected by the autism and a short note about the disease will also be printed on the notebooks hard cover . So they make notebook and we help them to sell the notebooks to children . We decided to name our product in regional language as the other leading brands had their product name in English . This enhanced an indigenous attachment of the product to the customer . We analysed our customer ’s likes and dislikes and planned our product design accordingly . Hand painted cartoons and pictures were selected as designs to be printed on the hardcover . We also gave a cover page inside the notebook which the customer can personalise accordingly by completing the dotted art . On our first learning launch we decided to inculcate all the above mentioned product specifications and targeted the school kids to sell our product .
We did n’t had the expected sales figures as so we decide to work more on understanding the customers need . On comparison with other products which are available in the market we found that our product was weighing more . So we reduced the gsm of the paper used in the product which will ultimately reduce the weight of the product . On our second learning launch we tried to introduce our product in kids book stall . We also had digital advertising through a gaming platform on Facebook . The kids visiting the stalls were also greeted and welcomed by cartoon costumed character . Through these steps our sales volume increased fairly .
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool our team identified the possible ideas to increase the sales volume of the notebooks . Though the expected results were not met the process flow continues . The ideas which did not affect the quality of the product were tested and the response was recorded . The tool helped us to increase our customer focus and eliminate many ideas which were not customer centric . Experimentation was carried out in faster pace which lead to product development .
Approach
Learning launch is the appropriate tool for this task . We need to review insights from the previous launches . During the next launch the feedback from the customers could be received and reviewed . This can be done continuously for the process and product improvement . In future launches our team will have more customer centricity and would cover large target population through advanced tie - ups with schools and other children based organisation .

Challenge I am currently pursuing a Bachelor ’s degree in Business Administration . As a part of our curriculum and to supplement our education and learning we are regularly tasked with projects and assignments . These are in various formats ; some are research driven reports , some questionnaire - based analysis of a certain market trend and some in the form of presentations . The one factor common in these tasks is that a central topic is assigned around which further research is required . There is a requirement to visualise thoughts and communicate . While traditional note taking is always an option , there are more effective processes to streamline and put in order the thoughts and ideas that arise during research . Selection I am enrolled in an internship at a digital marketing firm . As one of the interesting tasks , our team had to revamp and rejuvenate a client ’s marketing strategy for their online platform . The project naturally required conducting extensive research of the competition to gain a complete understanding of the market . This would enable us to better place our own client in the market in relation to its competitors . To make sense out of the wide array of information and to chart all of it into a constructive flow , I used mind mapping as a tool . The specific application was MindMeister . As opposed to just a pen and paper , MindMeister is a wonderful tool plan a course of action . It provides a clear central idea and links all resultant ideas to ensure coherency and a clear train of thought . Application When given any task , I start by gaining a clear understanding of the main topic or what the crux of the matter revolves around . This understanding of the main concept helps provide a pivot for all the subsequent ideas and information to revolve around . This mind mapping encourages a free flow of ideas that makes it an ideal format for brainstorming and creative problem solving . During my internship at a digital marketing firm , one of our new clients had asked for us to revamp their online page and thereby hoped to tap into the online realm of social media so as to increase their customer base and have a wider audience for their products . One of the biggest concerns was that this company had never marketed itself on any social media platforms . Therefore , it had no established audience or reach in this online world , contrary to its competition in the FMCG market . When presented with this problem my team and I needed to brainstorm and collaborate so arrive at a better understanding on our course of action and to devise the new strategy . The current COVID19 pandemic prevented us from physical interaction . Our geographical locations were displaced . In this scenario , we used the online mind - mapping tool MindMeister . This is an online mind mapping tool which helps us in coming up with a creative strategy so that we can tackle the online audience in a systematic manner . I have attached a
screenshot of the mind map that we came up with to provide a better understanding of the process .
As you can see in the screenshot attached , through the help of mind mapping we were able realize the need to compartmentalize the various audiences for our client ’s company which then gave us a better idea on how to target these audiences . We decided to first split our audiences in hot , warm and cold audiences . The degree in which a customer lies was decided based on their engagement with our company on their now developed and running platforms , their Instagram page , Facebook page and their website . This was done so that we could better target those people ( HOT ) who had recently engaged with our company with a more call to action approach and those in the warm zone with a more discount oriented luring strategy . Furthermore , through the information available on Facebook ads and other such marketing tools used online , we were able to make audiences based on how recent the customers engagement with our company was . For example , if someone had visited our page in the past three days , they would be more likely to purchase as compared to someone who had visited our page a month ago . The client already had a huge set of advertisements ready . However , after making our segregations we realized that we could not use the same advertisement for all audiences . There was a need to pick and choose between audience sets . Again , through the help of mapping , we realized that not only do we need to compartmentalize our audiences but at the
same time segregate our ads on the basis of their nature ( more call to action , more informative or more brand awareness oriented ) . By doing so we were able to better corelate the ad with the type of customer . Insight and Approach What I have learned from implementing mind mapping as a tool is that coherency in the work that you do is always important . A project may require other facets to complete however the link to the main topic or the central idea is key in any task that one does . The other important learning was how mind mapping helps one in creating a hierarchy of importance in the tasks on decides to undertake . For example , mind mapping helped me in realizing the importance of first conducting a market research for my client , rather than pushing the client ’s products in the market through ad boosting and other such means . This has helped me place my client in a comparatively better place since I understood the market and accordingly could market the products . Mind mapping as a tool is immensely helpful as it puts my thoughts in front of me and therefore helps me look at them more objectively . It enables me to decide on what belongs within the scope of the central task I am to do and what does not . Since I have started implementing mind mapping as a tool in my projects , I have noticed a substantial improvement in my presentation skills too . Through this design thinking course , I have realized the need to include or supplement my mind maps with visualization as a tool . The combination of visualization and mind mapping is an effective duo . Through visualization I can make these challenges come to life in a visual image . Through mind mapping I can help make this visual image concise and relevant so as to better present my thoughts in a more organized and descriptive manner . The idea is to draw an illustrative image of mind and therefore be able to convey it to the concerned stakeholder .

CHALLENGE
I work in a large company with a multicultural environment . One of the key aspects in such organization is to ensure adequate employee satisfaction and engagement . Several of the employees are expats which brought their families overseas and others are from different areas of the country . The challenge faced is a low score in employee engagement identified by the surveys conducted over the previous years . As a result , several employees are not retained and this imposes a challenge for adequate manpower planning in order to have a proper balance of age and experience in the company workforce .
SELECTION
The design tool selected is mind mapping technique . Through several employee surveys conducted in the recent years , as well as exit surveys for those employees resigning , a large amount of data has been collected . The tool can be used to process this information in a systematic way and identify patterns and themes . The tool as well can help to identify if the surveys are adequately covering all possible aspects to ensure that all possible motivations are captured in a large company with a wide variety of nationalities and backgrounds represented .
APPLICATION
In order to organize the available data in an intuitive and visual way , mind mapping is conducted by a multidisciplinary team . The information collected ( tables , profiles , quantitative data , etc ) is displayed in a large wall and segregated by areas and motivations . The team works intensively in clustering data . From these small clusters , connections are identified and insights captured in larger post - it notes . Special attention in the mind mapping is given to the available outliers that might indicated unrevealed motivations from the employees and might not be commonly extracted with surveys and interviews conducted . To confirm potential hidden motivations , outliers are used to tweak surveys questions and ensure adequate design criteria is obtained for the challenge we want to solve .
INSIGHT
One of the main insights from the application of the technique is that the mind mapping should not be a static exercise . On the contrary , it should be used for the organization in a continuous basis to ensure it captures any time effect in employee motivations that might be related to external factors such as a pandemic situation or any other particular situation . I would recommend a continuous improvement process by ensuring that any new information obtained in subsequent surveys is incorporated into the mind map .
APPROACH
For a most effective exercise , I would improve the data collection process to ensure that employees are in an open - minded environment so that surveys will be even more revealing of the real motivations for employee retention . I would also use visualization tools rather than large questionaries as a more effective and quick data gathering process . It has been observed that large surveys are counterproductive in delivering accurate information as they are considered as a mandatory and time - consuming activity . Rather than that , an approach with short and visual surveys about particular topics and aspects will result in a more valuable information from a mind mapping exercise .

Challenge
I am a business executive for a European retail chain , running our largest country network with several thousand stores .
Each year we hold a multi - day conference for our operational senior and middle management ( around 200 attendees ) with the focus on involving them in pan - company projects , providing a sense of togetherness and outlining the agenda for the year ahead .
One of the key challenges is getting much information communicated in a delicately short time .
However , raw information is not enough , as all managers are responsible for employees themselves , it is critical also to convey why decisions have been made , how they have been made and what purpose lies behind them .
This gives them a better understanding , thereby enabling them to carry the messages back to their teams within our organization .
Selection & Application
I have chosen visualization for this exercise as I believe it helps ‘ us ’ as an organization to better think in the big picture and to focus on relevant topics .
I do not want my managers to use a pre - fabricated power - point presentation that they can just click through , telling their teams exactly what they have heard .
Much rather want them to make these topics their own .
Not only for presenting and execution but when you are involved in how to communicate something , you are also involved in how and why something is done , and you might just come up with an idea on how to make it better – because nothing is ever completely finished .
Instead of using graphic recording at last year ’s conference , we have asked teams of around five people to create their very own visual recording after each session , using corporate pamphlets , journal articles in which we were mentioned , company newspaper and other materials .
They succeeded in creating unique memory anchors for the topics which were covered last year and were also able to make many connections on how these subjects might influence or be influenced by topics mentioned in the articles .
They covered all topics and goals with their teams and sub - organizations by relying on their visual recording during their own presentations .
Moreover , for this year ’s conference , we borrowed on some of the visual records to kick - off our conference . It was an excellent way of immediately reconnecting to where we left off last year .
Such visuals are ideal for evoking individual memories that the audience can draw on and helps in creating a common frame of reference
They allow for comparisons and metaphors and open up discussions :
One example . By providing a picture of a soccer field , a game almost everyone in Europe knows at least the fundamentals to , he or she could point out different relations and how certain positions on the field compare to positions within our team .
It broadens the scope by not having to think too closely in terms of what you are used to during your day to day work
Insights
Visualization is not in itself a solution to bad presentations or too narrow an approach in coming up with ideas .
It rather demands meticulous thought and excellent preparation as you are a trying to find the right material ( sketches , pictures , photos , diagrams ) .
However , that in itself is an incredibly useful process , as I find it helps to broaden the scope of thinking about a certain topic and encourages new ideas .
Also , any form of visualization helps me to get much faster back to where you have left off , as visual cues in itself can be perceived as your team ’s prior mind - map .
Approach
The last time we used Graphic recording , it was great to always come back to it and use it as a reference canvas , but it by itself is not good for getting people involved who have not participated in its creation by just ‘ looking at it . '
I have discovered that this is true for almost all situations where you heavily rely on visualizations . They immediately make sense for people who participated or are involved in the creation / design process , but they are but a poor substitute for memos which are intended for people who need be brought into the conversation / process .
It is not that it can not be done , but you have to focus on actually introducing new team member to the work done so far
As Angela Myer said : “ The best way to start on visualization is practice . ”
There is now right or wrong way to do it , just get started because – and I would like to close with one of my favorite quotes by Edward O. Wilson :
“ You teach me , I forget . You show me , I remember . You involve me , I understand . ”

Storytelling It is one of the tools that I love and use a lot , as I can share experiences and share events , especially stories full of difficulties and challenges , which we finally succeed in overcoming , the story enables us to give positive energy to another , interact with them well , understand their needs more , and improve the work environment with them . I study in an engineering school and specialize in informatics engineering , and we work in groups on projects that are finally submitted to professors and evaluated according to their quality . These projects are often related to the development or creation of a program and when we start working , most of the students are at first full of positive energy , and it starts to fade after a few days Coordination and understanding each other becomes almost impossible and this affects the quality of the project That 's why I often use the story to create a kind of positive energy and connect to help us understand each other .
Application
I have a story that I lived and used the storytelling , I worked one day with a team of school friends in order to complete a commercial website project . We agreed in the first about all the ideas , and everything was fine after a few days , then the university published scores . And most of the students were not satisfied with it , and this negatively affected the completion of the project . There was less understanding between us and great anxiety , in addition to the lack of motivation . After I noticed the matter , I invited them to change the place ( Campus ) And we went for a walk near the beach .
Insight & Approach
When I felt that the tension had passed , I took the opportunity and told them when I got a bad note in mathematics in the baccalaureate in the first test and how I take a deep breath and do more effort and finally got the highest grade in the class in mathematics Most of them started to smile and began to recover the positive energy , and this story opened the door to communication again and to return to complete the project .
The story had a great positive impact as it allowed the development of the project and the suggestion of new ideas , and even the professor was impressed with the project and gave us a good mark .
I benefited a lot from this wonderful tutorial ( Design Thinking ) and learned a lot about using tools of design thinking , and especially Storytelling which I use a lot and I hope to develop my skills and use other tools .

the product to market . I tried to use social media and post a lot . In doing so , Instagram
was my most important platform . For this , I created a unique website to talk about the
product and its benefits or why it is worth buying the product . Unfortunately , the product
received a very meager response .
I therefore went to my professor at the university for digital marketing . He told me that
everything I had done so far was unfortunately wrong . He then explained to me that my
brand and marketing should not be about me selling the product . The reason he gave was
that customers do n't buy the brand because it 's useful , they buy it because of the story
behind it . Therefore , he said , I should treat the product like a movie , which is why
storytelling is the best way to properly market the product and encourage more people to
buy it .
Smart bike locks are not only stable , but also offer a more relaxed attitude , he said .
Therefore , in the promotional video , I used a person who parks her bike somewhere alone
while she does n't have to worry about her bike being picked and stolen in the dark . She
could be completely relaxed with her thoughts without worrying .
This was prompted by the high rate of bike thefts in my hometown and the constant worry
of having one 's bike stolen .
The promotional video had many views and the response was very positive as many felt
the same way I did . The majority could identify with this story . So behind every person
or product is a story that makes each of us feel like we belong somewhere .
This tool made my task a lot easier , because I was able to create a decisive and appealing
story for my product . I also believe that storytelling has a great impact on people as it acts
like a movie and rewrites the hidden details in a special way . The whole thing becomes
more emotional and tangible . When I watched the video , I could literally feel the emotion
conveyed in it .
I would definitely always use storytelling as a way to make sure everything is explained
in detail and better . This allows people to see it from different angles and perspectives .
That helps a lot .

Challenge : I am working as Manager/ Project lead at one of Indian government organization which is responsible for the Vehicle testing and validation for India . As part of being testing and validation organization there are set of standards like European , Automotive India Standard ( AIS ) etc by which vehicle passing and fail depends . I am working in team which develops the test rig in - house by interpreting the standard e.g. , ECE R 15 standard is about front bumper impact testing of four wheeler vehicles . My team consists of four core member expert from various engineering steam as electronic , mechanical , Instrumentation & Control . And other nine personnel as actual activity transaction , so total team of thirteen people . Selection : Visualization tool help me and my team , in making pictorial images after reading / interpreting the standard . This tool gives us glimpse of communication , cultivating thinking , and thinking in non - verbal way ( Reference : Video of visualization by Angela Meyer ) . In my words visualization helps me in whether me or my team members on same page of thought / imagination or not . If there is / are differences then need to know what those are and how we can achieve / tackle so all team members on one page . Application : We use white board for the representing project work . After interpreting standard , first we simply draw the sketch of test rig , how it would be look alike . At this stage much more brain storming session needed . As by having different person from different back ground it add more diversified solution . Secondly we go for the engineering concept / formulation e.g. for bumper impact test rig , pendulum impactor ( weight around 3 ton ) must be released fall from angle of 30 deg , then what would be power required for motor to drag pendulum impactor . At this stage much more needed core knowledge of engineering field . At third stage we chop the activity in several phases like studying already market available test rig , convert concept into engineering drawing ( like AutoCAD ) , physical transaction activity ( procurement of material ) , assembly of all parts . in last stage we give each activity target date of completion according to lead time required for completion . Typically our white board goes into following phases as our project visualization moves forward , as shown below ,
Insight : In project visualization we need the aspect .

The following is a plan for how the tools could be applied to a real problem . The problem I am describing is a real one .
Miami - Dade County ’s Department of Solid Waste Management ( DSWM ) provides solid waste collection services to over 330,000 households in the County ’s unincorporated area as well as contracted municipalities . This includes biweekly curbside collection of recyclable materials such as paper , cans , bottles , cartons , and cardboard . The materials are placed together in a large , wheeled cart with a lid and collected by a collection vehicle with a mechanical “ arm . ” Recycling collection is currently outsourced to a private vendor , who pays the County a portion of the revenue received from the sale of recyclable materials .
A major problem currently facing DSWM , and solid waste entities nationwide , is a high rate of contamination in residents ’ carts . Contamination occurs when residents place materials in the cart that are not recyclable , such as diapers or food waste . Another form of contamination occurs when residents place materials that might be recyclable under certain conditions , but not through the curbside collection program . This is often known as “ aspirational recycling ” and examples include the placement of egg cartons or plastic bags in the bin ; these products are commonly recyclable at local grocery stores , but not curbside . Unfortunately , a high contamination rate results in less material being recycled and presents risks of revenue reductions or even service disruptions ( if the service is no longer profitable ) . DSWM has expended considerable resources on resident education , but the problem has persisted .
Design thinking is often useful for problems involving complex human behaviors , like the recycling contamination problem , which arises from individuals ’ motivations , beliefs and behaviors surrounding recycling . The design question could be framed as “ How might Miami - Dade County provide services that result in successful residential recycling ? ” The Mind Mapping tool could be used in this process to synthesize findings from customer research .
I would use preexisiting research conducted by DSWM several years ago , when a consultant was hired to conduct customer focus groups regarding their recycling habits . Ideally , I would complement this prior study by conducting several ethnographic interviews with residents , taking care to ensure ethnic , gender and age diversity among the interviewees . ( Because the majority of County residents were born outside of the United States , ensuring ethnic diversity is extremely important . )
I would schedule a work session with project team members , who would optimally include representatives of both the DSWM and recycling contractor administration and operations teams , as well as representatives from the organizations ’ information / customer service work units . If possible , representatives from other regional solid waste organizations and from other local businesses that provide certain recycling services ( such as grocery or electronic stores ) would be invited as well . At the work session , participants would be invited to use the “ sticky note ” method of writing down key observations from research material posted on the wall . Through facilitation , these observations would be sorted into groupings of similar ideas ; these groupings would then be refined into insights and , ultimately , design criteria . A key facilitation question would be the one noted in the Mind Mapping video from Week 3 : “ If anything were possible , what criteria would our new design meet ? ”
The insights I have gained regarding this tool include :
• The Mind Mapping tools is very similar to a tool I have previously used called the “ affinity process ” for developing customer satisfaction survey questions . In the affinity process , teams identify “ favorable customer outcomes ” for specific process touch points . Team members write the outcomes on sticky notes , group them into categories , and use the groupings to develop survey questions . It is exciting to learn a new and more expansive use of the “ sticky note ” method . By a ) focusing initially on “ what is ” and b ) not limiting the exercise to specific process touch points , a wider range of insights may be possible .
• In the traditional Lean Six Sigma methodology , team members ask the question “ why ? ” iteratively in order to identify the root causes of problems . The iterative use of the question “ so what ? ” in the Mind Mapping technique resonates with me as a similar method of getting to the heart of an issue .
Without actually facilitating a Mind Mapping work session , it ’s difficult to guess what I might do differently the next time . Key things I would watch for during the session include :
• Did the participants appear comfortable and engaged ?
• Did the room layout and setup allow for participants to move comfortably ? Were the materials on the walls easily visible ?
• Did the work session feel too short or too long ?
• How successful ( or unsuccessful ) was I as a facilitator in leading the team to develop insights and design criteria ? What factors contributed ?
The answers to these questions would inform lessons learned and lead to adjustments in future work sessions .

Challenge : One of the brands I work for is a pizza brand that have been losing market share and relevance among the consumer because a new competitor . This new competitor entered with an aggressive price strategy , far below ours and hard to match because our operative cost , and because we did n’t want to “ cheap ” the brand . The pizza ’s low cost was because they have fewer operating expenses , like no delivery service because they deliver through Uber Eats and Rappi , so they do n’t hire deliverers and buy vehicles . Their menu was simpler , less options but the mores relevant for the costumers , and the pizzas are ready to go , that mean the costumer get it right away they order it ; this mean the pizza is not fresh , but for the price , the consumer does n’t care . Our brand is big and the leader , that mean ca n't low the quality of the pizza and change the operation on detriment of the product to low the cost just to compete with the other brand . The challenge was clear , we need to use our brand ’s strengths , get a deep knowledge of our consumer to find the way to gain relevance , increase sales and take away power for our competitor . But we do n’t have much time , we need to act quickly .
Selection : We already have data from research , both secondary and primary information about our brand health , consumer usage & attitudes and industry & competitors . We just need to gather all the information , analyze it and get hypothesis , we were at “ What if ” phase . For this phase , different group of people from both side : my team ( agency people like creatives , account manager , digital managers ) and Brand ’s team ( Out Agency Clients ) got together on a one morning workshop and use “ Mind Mapping Tool ” to look for insights and patterns to generate ideas that help us to solve the brand ’s problem . Application . During the Mind Mapping Tool session , we make 3 mixed teams ( agency and brand ) with 6 people each . We try to make heterogeneous teams to get broad information from diverse points of view . We divide the information in 3 big themes : Brand , Competitors / Category and Consumer . Each theme information and data were displayed in different rooms to let each team to analyze and discussed it for 45 minutes , when the time ran up , we pass to the other room to analyze other theme , and so on . At the end of the analysis and discussion session per team , the next step was to present their conclusions . To do that each team had to identified the consumer needs , how the category brand try to satisfied those needs , and identify our brand differences and similarities to generate a value proposition . Every person votes for the preferred value proposition regardless the team . The second part of the analysis was to identify different kinds of customers , their consumption moments , what trigged them and specifics need on each one of them . All based on the 3 themes data and information . Every persona wrote down on a post - it hypothesis of every kind of customer and consumption moments . This help us to look for patterns and group the consumers , and divide their needs on different moments to ensure that our brand deliver correctly the value proposition and become relevant .
Insight & Approach : The exercises and the Mind Mapping tool were very reveling and helpful , because with all the information I got I was able to identify type of consumer and their need , but to know that their need change because the different consumer moments . People act different when they bought pizza for their family , for their friends , or for their couple , and the process is different when their bought it for a sport event , just to chill , or for watch series / movies . Every moment changes the consumer , so mapping tool help us to deep dive on our consumer . But not just that , we identify what to communicate about our
brand ’s strengths and differentiation on each step of the consumer journey , to deliver the correct message and highlight our advantage vs the competitors , specially our main one .
We will keep using the tool not just for this client , but with other ones we have in the agency . We are a communication agency that have to act quickly as the consumer do , we need to catch up everything that is happening on the market and use the information in benefits of our clients and their brands . Not just this tool is helpful , all other tools from this course can help us to solve particular challenge we face as marketeers and communication experts . Every brand had its own problems and challenges .

I work for an International Organization within a team of around 12 people , as part of our internal communications activities we have one - hour weekly meetings to provide updates and relevant information about our work . These meetings have been in place for around 2 years and some of the team members have been expressing that these meetings were not very useful and that this time could be better invested in other type of team building activities .
I have realized that some actions needed to be done in order to identify what would be the best communication and/or team building activities that could fill the expectations of the majority .
Selection :
I decided that Mind Mapping tool , could be a good option to help with the mentioned challenge , as mind mapping will help us to generate ideas , group these ideas , establish common links and needs from our team through a collaborative and cocreative process .
Application :
As part of the process , I initially did an online survey to get initial feedback from team members on the way our meetings were being handled and to use this dat , a as based for our mind mapping process .
The survey included information about the objective of the meetings , length , content , agenda , participants , etc . The survey was anonymous so people could feel free to express their opinions
The information obtained allowed me to identify the key areas to address during our mind mapping process , which were : the objective of the meeting , the content and the time and frequency .
I decided to do internal meeting to discuss the findings of the process and identify the patterns of the team . I have used flipcharts and post it notes and asked the people 3 questions :
• What would you expect from these meetings ?
• What could you suggest to improve these meetings and fulfill your expectations ?
• What other suggestions do you have to improve team communications and effectiveness
People wrote their thoughts on pot it notes and stick them on the flipcharts and at the end we were able to group them , discuss them and extract common ideas and suggestions to move with the following steps of the design process
Insight :
It was a really powerful , sincere and productive cocreation exercise . I believe that one of the most important insight was that we found out that team wanted to have time to connect with each other during
these meetings and take advantage of the opportunity that we were all together , people were interested to know how the other team members were besides to the professional side .
A lot of great ideas came out like : rotating the facilitator , establishing criteria to determine what could be considered a relevant update to make , using more participatory techniques , etc
With all the information captured , we have been improving the meetings , now the meeting are managed every week by a different facilitator , the initial half of the meeting is for work related content and the 2nd one is used to connect with each other , opportunities for coaching , personal sharing , fun and games have been introduced too .
I have started to feel that the team is more connected and willing to participate in the meetings .
Approach :
I think that I could also have used the learning launch tool , I mean , based on the information gathered from the survey , I could have made initial changes to the way the meetings were handled in a certain time line and get results and feedback from the team once done to prove / refuse assumptions .
But I believe this is something that we are actually doing , even that we have not conducted a formal process every week I ’m analyzing what new options has been added to the meetings , what have worked and what not and use this information to improve the following ones meetings .

which offer services of all forms of graphic design and large format printing to diverse individuals in and around my city . From the onset of the press , business was flourishing and clients were happy with our services as well as work output which turns out to be what ( product ) they asked for . Two years down the lane things began to dwindle ; clients no longer showed interest and my workers started feeling reluctant and lazy .
2 . Selection : First tool that popped up when I decided to tackle the issue is mind mapping , so that I could
completely gather and understand that data from all the necessary angles including that of my employees as well as my clients . Mind mapping is a tool used to look for patterns , insights that lead to a more creative solutions to your challenges . It allows you to critically look at the problem in order to gather and amass a huge amount of data for information and insights that can easily be communicated before moving to the next phase . Generally speaking , mind mapping is basically looking for patterns and insights in the large quantity data during your exploration of the design problem ( what is ) . I chose mind mapping because it is more creative , visual , intuitive and more engaging . It helped me represent the mind of my costumers and employees to understand them better .
3 . Application : Basically , I decided to think like an employer first taking into consideration the dwindle in
service and later as a client taking into consideration the decline in better service provision with respect to timing , accuracy and quality . What I realized was that my employees have become reluctant because there has not been any sort of motivation and improvement in the working environment after the successful chucks we have reached . As the company grew , we started having large number of clients and work but there was no increase in staff to assist and there was no form motivation either verbal or increase in salary and the working environment became uncomfortable for them so they began to relax because it felt as though they work for nothing hence the reduction in their provision of quality service . On the other hand , the clients started feeling unsatisfied because of the low quality they receive as a result of staff reluctance and the delay in them being attended to due to the large number hence they had to be in long ques than it was before as a result of the increasing number . They hence began to look elsewhere . I therefore began to work towards that by first calling up a meeting with my staff to discuss issues with them that lead to we coming up with motivation packages and increase in salary as well as plans to improve the working conditions – expand the building a bit to accommodate the large numbers as well as the machines and as well install air conditions to reduce the heat they bear during work . As this was done , they cheered up and began to put in their best and the company started reviving with clients coming back to use our services .
4 . Insight : what I learnt from conducting this exercise is that while you increase your profit and business
margin , one important thing that must be on mind is the welfare of the source ( workers ) of the success because once the source is satisfied , your success would be continuous . This challenged me more to be focused on my staff than the success choked .

### Input: 1 . Challenge : The challenge I have here is the poor patronage of the design and printing service press I own
which offer services of all forms of graphic design and large format printing to diverse individuals in and around my city . From the onset of the press , business was flourishing and clients were happy with our services as well as work output which turns out to be what ( product ) they asked for . Two years down the lane things began to dwindle ; clients no longer showed interest and my workers started feeling reluctant and lazy .
2 . Selection : First tool that popped up when I decided to tackle the issue is mind mapping , so that I could
completely gather and understand that data from all the necessary angles including that of my employees as well as my clients . Mind mapping is a tool used to look for patterns , insights that lead to a more creative solutions to your challenges . It allows you to critically look at the problem in order to gather and amass a huge amount of data for information and insights that can easily be communicated before moving to the next phase . Generally speaking , mind mapping is basically looking for patterns and insights in the large quantity data during your exploration of the design problem ( what is ) . I chose mind mapping because it is more creative , visual , intuitive and more engaging . It helped me represent the mind of my costumers and employees to understand them better .
3 . Application : Basically , I decided to think like an employer first taking into consideration the dwindle in
service and later as a client taking into consideration the decline in better service provision with respect to timing , accuracy and quality . What I realized was that my employees have become reluctant because there has not been any sort of motivation and improvement in the working environment after the successful chucks we have reached . As the company grew , we started having large number of clients and work but there was no increase in staff to assist and there was no form motivation either verbal or increase in salary and the working environment became uncomfortable for them so they began to relax because it felt as though they work for nothing hence the reduction in their provision of quality service . On the other hand , the clients started feeling unsatisfied because of the low quality they receive as a result of staff reluctance and the delay in them being attended to due to the large number hence they had to be in long ques than it was before as a result of the increasing number . They hence began to look elsewhere . I therefore began to work towards that by first calling up a meeting with my staff to discuss issues with them that lead to we coming up with motivation packages and increase in salary as well as plans to improve the working conditions – expand the building a bit to accommodate the large numbers as well as the machines and as well install air conditions to reduce the heat they bear during work . As this was done , they cheered up and began to put in their best and the company started reviving with clients coming back to use our services .
4 . Insight : what I learnt from conducting this exercise is that while you increase your profit and business
margin , one important thing that must be on mind is the welfare of the source ( workers ) of the success because once the source is satisfied , your success would be continuous . This challenged me more to be focused on my staff than the success choked .
5 . Approach : I think next time , what I would do differently is to combine another tool like visualization or

Storytelling is an activity to pass the information from person to person and from one generation to the next generation . Storytelling is simple and practical because stories , which are used as the media , are easily obtained . ( Hence , the use of storytelling as a teaching tool has been conducted in the areas of teacher education , higher education , early childhood education , and nursing education .
Challenges and Selection :
This study found eight benefits of implementing storytelling in teaching literacy . The benefits cover using two languages as the medium of interaction , the provision of suitable learning materials and various media , using dramatization to show a character ’s expression , asking moral value of the story as an evaluation instrument , developing students ’ literacy skills , arousing students ’ imagination , helping students to share their experiences , improving students ’ vocabulary mastery , and increasing students ’ reading awareness and interest . The aforementioned benefits are described below .
In implementing storytelling in teaching literacy , there were two challenges that can disturb the effectiveness of teaching program . The challenges had something to do with students ’ proficiency and length of texts as described in the following subsections .
Applications :
All students admitted that the lack of language proficiency , such as vocabularies , grammar , and pronunciation , was their obstacle in implementing this teaching program . Consequently , it made students hard in comprehending the text comprehensively and in expressing their opinions , as stated by student below . I found some difficulties , when teacher asks me to write a sentence that read by her , for example I still confuse with the meaning of those words . ( To facilitate students in understanding difficult words , the teacher should let them to write their stories in Indonesian first before they translated the story into English . After that , teacher also facilitated students to use English - Indonesian or Indonesian English dictionary to make them easier in writing a story and in comprehending a text . It is supported by interview result of student below . From storytelling , I do not like writing , because I do not know yet the words . Luckily , teacher asks me and my friends to read the story first , after that we understand the story using dictionary so that , I easier in writing a story . The students ’ reading and writing results in the beginning also indicated that the students with better language proficiency were able to have higher score . It was because the students with better language proficiency can comprehend the text better and write their own text properly . Thus , this challenge should be considered by teacher in selecting teaching materials to facilitate all students ’ English proficiency levels .
Insight and Approach :
Based on data of classroom interview , the data indicated that although there are some restrictions , the incorporation of storytelling to the teaching program had assisted students to increase their reading comprehension ability and to develop their writing skill . On the basis of the data obtained , this research revealed that the teaching program spawned some benefits . Firstly , in the process of implementing storytelling , it was found that students ’ literacy skill was developed . Secondly , the selection of story and quality of book also gave an impact on arousing their imagination . Moreover , students ’ vocabulary , reading awareness , and interest also increased . Nevertheless , the attainment of those benefits might be constrained by some challenges found in this teaching program . The challenges had something to do with students ’ proficiency and length of texts . Accordingly , it can be concluded that the result of the research confirmed possibility of the teaching program which
incorporates storytelling in supporting junior high school students to have good awareness in literacy , both reading and writing . It indicated that storytelling can be applied in EFL junior high school in Indonesia , especially in suburban area , because there are limited facilities that can support students learning . Furthermore , the use of media and teacher as an actor can help students to develop their literacy skill which is highly required in facing globalization era . Based on the findings , it is suggested to implement storytelling that has been proved to have various positive impacts on students ’ learning . Nonetheless , this teaching program will be more effective when applied in the regular teaching using classroom action research . It is suggested to obtain deep data of the research and to modify new teaching practice . By considering the suggestion , it is expected that the teaching process can optimize students ’ reading and writing ability . At last , this program should be tried out in a variety of level of education , especially young learners to check whether it can develop students ’ literacy skills or not .

Challenge
I was working as part of the IT project team in an enterprise . The working mode that was set on the department was to receive requirements from other areas ( our clients ) to implement or develop IT tools . One day we received this requirement , which was not so clear , this area say that they needed a forecast that they have to deliver to the financial team and they needed a tool to create it in a faster way as current . However , so many questions were on the table that were not clear both for the customers and for us : Do they really need an application ? Do they really need to create it faster ? Was they delivering to the financial team all the relevant information ? What this tool needed to have to add value to their final users ? Nothing was clear , they known that this forecast was needed and it was n’t being so efficient for the final users , but how to know what was needed to be improve and how it can be solved by an application , what this application needed to considerate in order to add value ?
Selection
We had never used Design thinking to tray to set down the customer ’s needs , so it was new for us . In this occasion , we received some help from one of our suppliers to use design thinking for this project , and he said that he wanted to start to hear the whole story from the responsible person to create the forecast about all the things that she needed to do to get the forecast . At this moment , I did not know it was the “ Storytelling tool ” but now I can identify clearly . The goal was to understand to all the people involved in the creation of the forecast , what implied for each participant and what was really the necessity of the customer area in order to define if we can create or not an IT tool and how can we create an IT tool with value added .
The Storytelling tool helps to create emotion , energy and passion for all the involved team , it creates a cause and a logic message . For the Storytelling it is needed a protagonist= challenge , questions through the story to create suspense and at the end we will have possible solution ideas . Therefore , we had our protagonist , some questions for our participants and we wanted to hear all this solutions ideas at the end of the story .
Application
We started to get all the stakeholders together : the ones that deliver information , the ones to help to create the forecast and the final users of the forecast . All the stakeholders came from different areas . The consultant started to create this story of how the forecast was created so all the participants was deeply involved on the story , this also happened because all of them was part of the story .
The story begins presenting our protagonist ( the challenge ): the forecast and then we identify the characters of the story , all the coworkers of the different areas involve . To start the narrative the area that deliver the important data for the forecast , begins telling their part of the story to the rest of the stakeholders , what they needed to do to get this data , how they feeling while preparing and
when delivering , and all the steps they needed to do to deliver their part . After that the main requester continue with the story , she was the responsible of the biggest part of the history , so she told all the steps she had to follow , the variables she was considering , how she felt , how it worried her and how long I took her to have the forecast , always in this storytelling mode . The last characters to continue whit the narrative of the story were the final users , they told why it was important to them to deliver the information on time , how they felt during the process , and exactly what it was important to them from the forecast .
While all of them were telling their part of the history , the consultant was making questions as , how do they feel ? Why they think it was important ? And how it was affecting them emotionally and with their work ; this was creating this suspense during the Storytelling
Insight
After hearing this Story all the stakeholders were more empathetic with their coworkers in the other areas , it was clearer why this IT tool was being need and what we could consider to include in order to have a tool with valued added . With the reflection of the story , they identified all the real needs from the final users that might not were the ones that were set on the firs requirement . We get ideas of how this forecast can add value to the company identifying different variables to consider , generating ideas as predicting different scenarios of the forecast , considering new variables and identifying new reports for the final users of the forecast . With this , we was starting from something clearer and understandable with the plus of the real involvement of the stakeholders in the project .
Approach
In this occasion , the Storytelling tool was very useful for us . As we started from nothing , after applying this tool we get a clearer necessity and different ideas of how to solve this necessity . I believe that as we had in the room to all the stakeholders we also could use the Mind Mapping tool to stablish criteria for the ideas generation so we can continue with better bases for the “ What if ? ” phase .

Challenge
I work in the engineering department of my organisation , we are responsible for the design of new equipment that conforms to our clients particular specifications as well as complying with strict European regulations . These constraints leave little room for innovation .
My current project involves designing a new version of an existing piece of equipment we have , which our competitor already has on the market . This means that having a competitive product of our own manufacture available ASAP is critical to ensure that we get our market share . Our main manufacturing facility is not in an English speaking country and is in a time zone 7 hours off our own , so interacting can be a challenge .
Selection
I have selected the Learning Launch Tool ( video 3 by Leon Kohl in week 4 ) as it fits well into our organisation . We need to work quickly to keep ahead of our competitor , this means we have a limited period for prototyping and field testing before a product is rolled out . Involving all stakeholders and obtaining and working with facts is essential which is the core of the Learning Launch Tool .
Application
The small team I have selected includes a representative from manufacturing , marketing , warranty and customer service agents . These departments are involved from product manufacture up to end- of - life .
Our first learning launch focused on comparing the client specifications to our existing product , we needed to see if our current product ( which had already proven itself ) could be converted for the required application . This exercise made it clear that we needed to come up with a new concept , while retaining components which have proved to outperform and outlast those of our competitor . All departments were tasked with fact - finding missions :
Manufacturing investigated mechanical and electrical challenges encountered during the assembly process , we hoped that this would enable us to eliminate assembly errors and streamline the manufacture process .
Marketing was tasked with contacting a sample group of end users in various countries , this would enable us to identify issues that users encountered related to the use and cleaning of the equipment under various operating conditions .
The warranty department investigated warranty claims on our existing product to identify things like common component failures and frequency of any common failures .
Customer service contacted field service agents so that we could get insight into challenges faced on our existing product . This would include the ease of installation and servicing after equipment is installed in the field .
Our second learning launch was held after all data was collated . Using mind - mapping we identified both weaknesses and strengths in our existing product and assembly drawings . Focusing on the strengths , we sketched up a radically new prototype design which would reduce assembly time , make all serviceable components easier to access and possibly improve energy efficiency . Few weaknesses remained after this , those that did could be dealt with by minor mechanical modifications or component upgrades .
Insight
Involving all departments and utilising the Learning Launch Tool , allowed the engineering department to identify and improve on weaknesses in our current product . By addressing these , with some solutions as simple as changing the orientation of a component , I believe that we can greatly improve the quality and reliability of our future products which is crucial for our clients and our business .
All departments appreciated being involved in the design process , with some unexpected ideas and insight from various departments . Instead of just being told what needed to be done , being involved in the process also made my colleagues feel proud with what we have achieved .
Approach
I believe that the Learning Launch Tool is ideal for our organisation considering our schedule from design to roll - out . We can not work with assumptions as our equipment needs to pass testing by our clients , if we ca n’t base designs on facts our roll - outs would be delayed which would impact the overall profitability of the business .
What I would change next time is to involve engineering and manufacturing colleagues from our main manufacturing facility . This could allow us to explore more design and assembly improvements , and will give them more insight into the use and maintenance requirements of our equipment which they are normally not privy to .

We can not work with assumptions as our equipment needs to pass testing by our clients , if we ca n’t base designs on facts our roll - outs would be delayed which would impact the overall profitability of the business .
What I would change next time is to involve engineering and manufacturing colleagues from our main manufacturing facility . This could allow us to explore more design and assembly improvements , and will give them more insight into the use and maintenance requirements of our equipment which they are normally not privy to .

Challenge
I
am
a
manager
at
a
university
of
applied
sciences .
Our
institute
of
technology
has
5
different
departments ,
with
5
department
heads .
Together
with
the
director
of
the
institute ,
the
financial
controller ,
a
policy
adviser
and
a
HRM
policy
adviser
we
form
the
management
team
of
the
institute .
Our
challenge
was
to
establish
a
common
vision
and
ambition
for
our
new
long-‐term
plan
for
the
institute .
We
also
wanted
to
become
a
stronger
team .
There
had
been
many
changes
in
the
management
team
and
most
of
the
time
we
do
our
job
independent
from
each
other .
We
have
a
two-‐week
schedule
for
our
management
meetings .
Building
a
stronger
team
and
establishing
a
common
ambition
was
quit
a
challenge .
We
had
several
sessions
under
guidance
of
an
external
consultant .
Selection
We
used
a
kind
of
visualization
tool
as
described
in
module
1 .
To
avoid
endless
discussions ,
we
were
looking
for
a
good
way
to
exchange
ideas
and
to
come
up
with
new
ideas
and
concrete
plans
quickly .
We
organised
a
few
management
meetings
and
we
decided
to
make
drawings
and
schemes
independent
from
each
other .
In
this
way
we
were
all
very
active
during
the
one-‐day
sessions .
It
was
a
good
way
to
exchange
our
ideas
and
ambitions
and
was
very
helpful
to
understand
each
other .
Application
We
used
large
white
sheets
of
paper
to
draw
on
and
express
our
personal
ideas .
We
started
with
making
a
drawing
of
our
own
private
and
family
life ,
our
hobbies ,
sports ,
etc .
The
next
sheet
was
used
to
identify
the
strengths
within
the
team ,
the
external
stakeholders ,
etc .
Other
sheets
were
used
to
draw
the
ambition
for
our
own
department
and
the
institute .
In
these
sheets
we
expressed
our
ideas
for
the
future
and
how
we
want
to
offer
the
best
educational
programs
and
courses
and
attract
more
students
to
our
institute .
In
each
round
we
presented
our
ideas
and
ambitions
to
the
rest
of
the
team .
During
these
sessions
we
started
to
know
each
other
better
and
got
a
better
idea
of
the
ambitions
each
of
us
had
for
his / her
department
and
for
the
institute .
During
the
sessions
a
kind
of
mutual
ambition
started
to
develop .
Finally
a
sheet
was
used
to
write
down
common
problems ,
themes ,
challenges ,
etc .
and
we
used
sticky
notes
to
vote
and
exchange
our
ideas
on
these
subjects .
The
external
mentor
photographed
all
sheets .
The
photos
were
collected
and
compiled
into
visual
records
of
the
meetings .
One
of
the
results
of
these
meetings
was
a
common
vision
and
ambition
for
our
institute .
A
white
board
animation
was
made
to
present
this
collective
ambition
to
the
other
staff ,
colleagues
within
our
university
and
external
stakeholders .
Insight
and
approach
During
the
years
I
have
made
a
few
long-‐term
policy
plans .
The
result
of
this
session
was
better
and
took
less
time
then
other
sessions .
I
had
never
had
a
management
meeting
in
which
we
made
so
many
drawings
and
the
report
consisted
only
of
a
few
series
of
photographs .
Making
the
drawings
and
presenting
them
to
each
other
was
real
fun .
This
was
also
good
for
team
building .
Everybody
was
busy
during
these
sessions
and
it
was
an
effective
way
of
exchanging
ideas
and
developing
a
common
vision .
During
the
sessions
new
ideas
emerged .
The
visual
records
of
the
meetings
make
it
very
easy
to
look
over
the
results
again .
The
white
board
animation
was
a
great
success
and
I
have
been
using
it
many
times
to
explain
our
ideas
about
the
future
of
our
institute .
For
the
next
meeting
with
my
own
staff
and
team
I
am
planning
to
use
the
same
technique
again .
We
have
the
same
kind
of
questions
and
challenges
as
described
above .
In
my
own
team
we
have
had
a
few
changes
and
I
want
to
use
the
new
expertise
in
my
team
to
generate
some
new
ideas .
What
I
have
learned
is
that
the
visualization
tool
is
very
good
for
these
kind
of
sessions .
In
my
opinion
the
number
of
participants
has
to
be
limited ;
if
there
are
too
many
participants
it
will
take
too
long
and
people
will
loose
attention .
The
next
time
I
will
ask
the
participants
to
prepare
themselves
more
and
make
them
more
aware
of
the
technique
that
will
be
used
during
the
session .
I
think
when
the
participants
are
more
prepared
and
familiar
with
the
tool ,
it
can
be
even
more
effective .
In
the
future
I
want
to
use
other
techniques
as
well ,
but
for
now
this
tool
seems
to
be
most
suitable .

Storytelling is the process of using fact and narrative to communicate something to your
audience . Some stories are factual , and some are embellished or improvised in order to
better explain the core message . While this definition is pretty specific , stories actually
resemble a variety of things .
( 1 ) Challenge :
When I work with seniors , we share stories for different reasons . 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 . With my
developmentally disabled clients I share stories of my life in order to help them visualize
a state of independence , I use their feedback against the context of my story to ascertain
their goals , and sometimes we use stories to better understand their interests and thought
processes . I use this information to develop different strategies to try and find a way that
works for them to gain more independence in the areas they find lacking in their lives .
( 2 ) Selection :
Storytelling is a great tool that I use all the time . I work with vulnerable populations ,
developmentally disabled individuals , senior citizens , and economically disadvantaged
people . Many of these people deal with oppression and dysfunction in every aspect of
their lives , they need to be empowered and inspiration is a path to empowerment . I spend
a lot of time “ opening people up ” and finding ways to inspire them to improve their
circumstances .
( 3 ) Application :
In discussing policy changes with a social service agency , I was trying to explain to them
the benefits of taking a more client focused approach , among other things , and in
particular , of recognizing each person as a unique being , and addressing their individual
needs first and foremost . The agency was in the grip of a “ compliance culture ” and its
clients were failing in this non - empathetic , rigid structure . 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 told a story about when I ran an
emergency shelter after a natural disaster . Everyone was doing really well except for one
woman whose stress was making her very emotionally volatile . I could tell she needed
attention ; in my mind I decided she would be “ Princess for an hour . ” I made her a cup of
coffee and sat down with her and let her talk . It turned out that her mother , who was with
her , had survived a brain aneurysm and she was terrified that she would fall or that some
other crisis would befall her during this disaster while in the shelter .
( 4 ) Insight :
Well , wow , that was an eye - opener . Her mother was a calm presence and doing very
well . Clearly it was time for me to open up with my story . I told her how scary it was
when my father had his brain aneurysm in front of me and how I had to get him to the
hospital and how difficult and scary that all was . I shared how he recovered well , and
then tied us together , by noting how she and I both have parents who survived brain
aneurysms . 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 , her mother , who
had become worried about her , calmed down , and everyone around them calmed down .
Peace reigned again in our little shelter .
( 5 ) Approach :
This story I send to the agency , and I think it had a big impact on people there . The
policies are being reevaluated and the caseworkers are going through new training .
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 a design background , but I ended up as an entrepreneur in business . I had no idea
this would ever be considered an asset , but I am so very grateful that it is .

Use case in a company - Selling to a ‘ non - buyer ’
By Felix Villagra – November 2017
This case of success begins like many others , with several successive failures that taught us several lessons to be applied in future commercial actions . The purpose of the sale was a medium - sized company , A.P. Moller Maersk , which was offered an expensive but effective software tool to predict production defects and errors , CIBioFi .
A.P. Moller Maersk is dedicated to the manufacture of tools for printing sheet metal parts for automobile bodies .
The first of the mistakes made by the commercial manager , Toni , was to offer CIBioFi to the department that did not make the investment decisions , the technical manager worked with remarkable efficiency and met the deadlines and quality levels required by their customers , so that I saw the need to change nothing .

Within a month of his stay at A.P. Moller Maersk , David met with the commercial management of this company and got the CEO to be present to hear the proposal . David asked them if they would be willing to test for a year a solution that would allow them to reduce manufacturing costs by 5 % . He gave them a presentation with a couple of success stories , a German client and a Canadian one . After several phone calls , meetings and negotiations of economic conditions , the commercial management and CEO of A.P. Moller Maersk agreed to test the solution and the technical director got the commitment to test the solution . A.P. Moller Maersk brought in a brilliant engineering student proposed by CIBioFi to take over the tests with the software , so they would not make the technical department 's workload worse . After 10 months of testing , David got the signing of the CIBioFi sales contract . This case of success of A.P. Moller Maersk is used for the formation of new commercial and also for the rest of departments . By using this tool , one of the best commercial strategies executed by CIBioFi is comprehensively explained . It teaches how to change a bad initial approach for another of success , looking for allies , analyse the points in favour to take advantage of them and how to fight with the weak points .

Use case in a company - Selling to a ‘ non - buyer ’
By Felix Villagra – November 2017
This case of success begins like many others , with several successive failures that taught us several lessons to be applied in future commercial actions . The purpose of the sale was a medium - sized company , A.P. Moller Maersk , which was offered an expensive but effective software tool to predict production defects and errors , CIBioFi .
A.P. Moller Maersk is dedicated to the manufacture of tools for printing sheet metal parts for automobile bodies .
The first of the mistakes made by the commercial manager , Toni , was to offer CIBioFi to the department that did not make the investment decisions , the technical manager worked with remarkable efficiency and met the deadlines and quality levels required by their customers , so that I saw the need to change nothing . The technical manager did not have an own budget for investments , besides it was uncomfortable and expensive to try a tool , demonstrate its effectiveness to the management and request a budget from the general management . In a way , I saw that CIBioFi threatened its leading role in the department , a software can not replace 20 years of experience according to their criteria .
Toni 's second mistake was trying to sell CIBioFi with a trial period of only 6 months , when the projects have a much longer duration to demonstrate the savings achieved . This , without counting on the learning time that the solution requires and with a very tense planning to find time available for training .

Storytelling in A Payroll System Development for a Chain of Restaurants
By Daniel Almeida Dec 16th , 2019
1 . Challenge My responsibility was to lead a Product / UX Team in the development of a Human Resources Product , mainly focused on the Payroll subsystem , for our Company ’s customers , which in turn use our ERP ( Enterprise Resource Planning ) to support a restaurant chain .
Our Company has offices in Palo Alto , California , and in Sao Paulo , Brazil , and the project should involve people from both Offices .
2 . Selection The main challenge was to bring the team the reality of our customers : what their business is , what are their needs , what they believe should be improved in the relationship between Employer and Employees .
Bring to the team information and facts on how a restaurant works , what are their needs , and why our solution requires a deep understanding of those needs made Storytelling the right tool for our discovery of “ What Is . ”
3 . Application The central aspect used was to create sections of our customer story like chapters . From the hiring process , benefits and deductions , clock - ins and clock - outs , rest breaks , how do they organize themselves to serve different dinner parties , to how clients tip one or more waiters in different scenarios . Also , how to issue paychecks , what tax forms issuing along the year , tax payment , and how to terminate employment contracts .
4 . Insight After sequencing all epics , we then divided them into stories , which are events that occur and their outcomes . In these stories , we describe the events from the perspective of the people involved .
The significant insight : the broader the vision of who is who in the Human Resources and Payroll subjects and why some things happen , the better the comprehension of what can be improved .
5 . Approach Next time we should use more pictures and videos to present a more detailed vision of our customer needs .

Challenge
I am a Project Engineer working in the construction department of a leading property development in Hong Kong and the challenges which I regularly encounter are to attempt to increase the motivation of self - ownership of allocated tasks / projects of each of my team members and to improve on identifying , then prioritizing the allocated tasks to improve the overall efficiency of the team . In the industry I am currently working in , it is a common and difficult item to overcome simply because there are always emergency issues which we have to deal with on a daily basis ( besides what we are given and planned to do ) . Due to this nature of my industry , the team ’s work capacity can sometimes be overloaded and therefore adversely impacting the overall efficiency of the team if prioritization is not implemented .
Selection
I selected “ Learning Launch ” as the design thinking tool which I attempted to implement to my challenges as mentioned above . Our team has previously had several internal progress meetings , identifying what we were encountering , the issues ahead , possible plan of attack and has had chances to voice out the feelings felt under extreme work pressure and circumstances .
With the design thinking tool , Learning Launch , I was confident to setting new directions ( design launches ) and putting the directions into prototype for testing which would benefit my team one way or another .
Application
As a starting point , my team and I focused mainly on increasing our self - initiatives and in particular to report progress and providing follow up action plans . We followed closely on the company structure and were aware of who the direct line of report was for each team member . This learning launch approach examined the assumption of which the lack of ownership and initiatives was due to the insufficiency of clear direction from superior management and lack of overlooking , communication and guidance . With this approach put in place , we anticipated that by encouraging as well as enforcing regular progress updates , each team member would be committed to the tasks / projects they were involved in and increased their attention to the details on what they were working on .
For the second learning launch approach , we focused on creating a regularly updated master work plan to record the known and planned tasks as well as the unknown daily emergencies which we anticipated to encounter every day . This learning launch approach examined our assumption on which the key cause to our challenge was the disruption of our planned tasks by sudden happenings and daily emergency issues . Our team first created a
master work plan , recorded all the tasks / projects and the owner of each onto a whiteboard . We then listed the deadlines of each item , where the same deadlines appeared we then measured and attempted to agree on the priority for sorting . When an emergency issue arrived , we also recorded it in the same way as the planned tasks so it was clearly presented to every member of the team . The approach had been given a timeframe of one week test period .
Insight and Approach
My team and I followed the design launches for the set timeframe and the result reflected that our initial assumptions were mostly accurate , except for the second launch . The second design launch helped and improved on the situation when daily emergency issues arise . It is however , due to the nature of the construction industry , the number of spontaneous issues can be quite extreme and therefore the “ master work plan ” design had felt its pressure . Following the mechanism of design thinking tool , we will amend our second design launch and build another prototype for trial .
We felt that we have selected the correct design thinking tool to solve the main challenges which have adversely impacted our team ’s overall efficiency and internal task ownership . It is by far the most effective tool we have attempted to implement within our team . Personally , the design thinking tool has benefited me with micro - management and it would be just as benefit for macro - management which I would recommend to my superior for their implementation .

Background
I work as a UX Designer at a digital agency , working with clients from various industries . My responsibilities range from conducting user research , creating design concepts , facilitating workshops all the way to prototyping and handing off assets to developers .
Challenge
A major household appliance company has commissioned us to help them create an app for a line of vacuum cleaners . This app should include functionalities that will allow consumers to order new parts and reach out to personal advisor for any issues . Additionally it also needs to be able to allow users to control and navigate the newest of their product : the robot vacuum cleaner . After the conducting several types of user research ( interviews , surveys .. etc ) we ’ve gathered the data and extracted emerging patterns . To kick off the project we have decided to run a “ Design Sprint ” to help us quickly solve the problem of “ how might we encourage vacuum owners to download the app and use it ? ”
Selection
“ Visualization ”
On the first day of the sprint , ideas and problems have n’t yet been identified yet , therefore it was important for the group to gather together and share insights , discover patterns and map it out visually so it helps us to unlock the creative side of our brains and helps us to see possibilities that we otherwise would have missed . Visualising the problems and customer journey was n’t just important not the first day of the sprint . We adapted visualisation throughout the sprint - we drew diagrams , maps , wireframes , ideas to help the group visualize the problem and the patterns . This helped us to move forward each day .
Application
On the first day of the Sprint , we ’ve already had valuable insights from the users and we have invited various experts of the company to come and share their insights with us : what the current challenges are and what potential problems the product could face . With so many insights it was really hard to keep track so we wrote down major insights into “ How might we questions ” on sticky notes and stick them on the whiteboard . Later on , we used these insights to start drawing a customer journey map on the white board together to help visualize where the potential problems could be in the customer journey and this visualisation helped us a lot to come up with solutions the day after . We started with the customers in the store , learning about the product , buying th product , installing the product , using the product and eventually downloading the app ( our goal ) . This method of mapping ( drawing ) out each of the step as a diagram was a great way to really understand what our customers will go through . As a Facilitator of the Sprint , It was great for me to see the group really responded well to the diagram on the board - the map changed throughout the sprint as new insights emerged during the sprint .
Insight
It is hard to be in a group with so many ideas - ideas in our heads which are not visualised and many of the participants could n’t not exactly grasp what the person might be talking about . Visualization is such a powerful tool to align thoughts and bring everyone in the group to the same level . Throughout the sprint we used visualisation to map out customer journey , to identify problems , create possible solutions ( by using dot voting ) , we transformed ideas into concepts ( wireframes ) on the board and we were able to get feedback from the group and iterate as a
group . Without visualisation it would be hard to align everyone and there would be a lot of confusion in the group .
Approach
I think by adopting the Design Thinking mindset , it ’s not about using 1 single tool to reach the goal but by using a collective of different tools that can really help drive the project forward . While visualisation is a great way to align everyone and create solutions as a group , other tools like storytelling or mind mapping are equally important to allow us to really dive into the mindset of our users and the scenario and find the best solution that will help solve the problem . After reading the “ Sprint ” by Jake Knapp and taking this course , I truly believe it ’s a collaborative effort of using various different tools to make the project a success .

Challenge
One of the companies with which I have worked offers affordable deals on various products and also donates to various NGOs out of the amount spent by people on shopping . The problem we were facing was that the traffic coming on the website was not so high compared to similar companies . Also , the bounce rate on the website was high . To resolve this problem , we needed to optimize the user experience by improving our user interface . The message delivered to the audience by the website appeared to be different from the one we intended to . It appeared more like a donations website rather than a company dealing in high quality products at affordable rates .
Selection
In order to deliver the right message to the audience and attract more traffic to the website , we decided to use the design thinking tool ‘ Visualization ’ for developing various models we could use for our website , analysing the various possibilities and selecting the most viable proposition .
As we learnt in the last video lecture of week 1 , ‘ Visualization ’ is a very effective design tool which involves using the right side of our brain for creating images , diagrams , or animations to create a shared understanding of the problem .
Application
Our team developed different models of the website so that other stakeholders could visualise and choose among the alternatives . We developed models where the deals were displayed at the top after which the donations aspect was uncovered by the users visiting the website at a later stage so that there is clarity about the main purpose of the website . Banners and sliders were used and different categories of products and offers were created to make the visuals more appealing and attractive .
These alternatives were presented to other stakeholders . Once they visualised how the website would look like they were asked to brainstorm ideas and suggest changes if required . After this , the insights gained from the discussion that followed were taken into consideration and the final module was developed .
Another approach that we followed was to use engaging graphics and visuals on various social media handles to attract the audience and then used UTM parameters to find out which post and product was bringing the maximum amount of traffic to the website .
Insight
Revamping the website by changing its layout and using engaging visuals was an amazing initiative since it helped increase the number of visits on website . The increasing trend in the traffic on the website can be attributed to the efforts put into developing models and using visualisation for imagining what does not already exist . It also helped taking into consideration the views of diverse groups of stakeholders involved and achieving a consensus on what shall be the best alternative .
This design thinking course has helped me look at various problems in a broader sense and create better understanding to different stakeholders involved using visualisation .
Approach
Visualization was the appropriate tool in this case since it helped select the best layout for the website , resulting in increased traffic and decrease in the bounce rate . Thus , I would prefer to apply this design tool in future as well to similar problems .

Challenge
It 's not easy to get your brand heard and entice customers . This was the challenge I faced when asked to assist a company in better understanding their customers ' needs . The company was a social media marketing agency(SMMA ) , and their email marketing campaign failed miserably . Despite using email templates from other successful businesses in their niche , their open email rate was terrible despite tweaking their email templates to speak to their clients . After conducting my research and diagnosing their problem , I discovered that they were unfamiliar with their customers . To solve this problem , I decided to use Mind Mapping . Selection
Mind Mapping was the ideal design tool for solving this problem because it allowed me to brainstorm ideas , identify knowledge gaps , and identify their customer persona . I 'll explain how Mind Mapping works for those who do n't know . The main idea serves as the starting point for your Mind Map and represents the topic you 'll be delving into . This topic should be in the center of your page and should include an image or color that corresponds to the subject of your Mind Map . Because our brains respond better to visual stimuli , this draws attention and triggers associations . Taking the time to personalize your central idea , whether it 's hand - drawn or created digitally , will help you form a stronger bond with the information in your Mind Map . Adding branches is the next step in getting your creative juices flowing . The key themes are the main branches that flow from the central image . By adding child branches , you can delve deeper into the themes . The beauty of Mind Maps is that you can keep adding new branches and are n't limited to a limited number of options . As you add more ideas to your Mind Map , it will naturally expand as your brain makes new connections between the various concepts . You must include a key idea when adding a branch to your Mind Map . Keep this idea as short as possible ; compared to longer , more complex phrases , this will allow you to make a greater number of associations . If you put ' Summer garden party in July ' on a branch , for example , you 're limited to the details of the party you 've just mentioned . Suppose you break this down into a few keywords ( for example , ' summer ' and ' garden party , . ' You can expand the possibilities for each branch by using a variety of keywords . Presents , cake , and pavilion are some examples .
For chunking information into core topics and themes , limiting words to key phrases on each branch also works well . The use of keywords activates neural connections in your brain , allowing you to remember more information . Mind Mapping promotes whole - brain thinking by combining various cortical skills ranging from logical and numerical to creative and unique . The combination of these abilities makes your brain more synergetic and allows it to function at its best . Separating these cortical skills from one another does not aid brain development , which a Mind Map aims to achieve . Application
You 'd only be scratching the surface of your Customer Mind Map by relying solely on your biases and perceptions . Actively gather data to test or expand your understanding of your target customer . There are a variety of places where you can get this information : Executives at the company The salesforce Customer Service Representatives Feedback from current customers on the company 's services Conduct customer surveys via email to learn how they feel about the brand , competitors , beliefs , and way of life . Inquire about which social media influencers customers follow , and use analytical tools to track customer behavior on the company 's website . After researching my client 's niche , B2B SaaS(Software as a Service ) I began mapping out my customer persona . I began by placing the company owner in the Map 's center and defining his pain points , which included " struggling to consistently find clients in a predictable manner . " From there , I began to branch out , and using the information I had gathered previously ; I was able to outline : His ambitions in terms of his business His geographical location , professional background , and educational background His social media platforms , as well as any social media influencers or pages he may follow , as well as his quirks and preferences . Business jargon and any visual preferences are examples of things to consider .
They have different personality types . Are they leaders , are they logical or emotional , are they cautious or spontaneous , and so on ? Their working conditions . They have daily work routines , etc . What is the structure of their business ? Any industry trends in his field of work ? How do they usually deal with customers ? Insights
After organizing all of this data , I created a Customer Persona for my client . Name Anthony Johnson . Title : Founder and CEO of the company Decision - maker : Yes Industry : Software and technology . Age : 30 years old Salary : $ 30 000 a year Employees : Over 20 Education : Bachelor 's degree in computer science Goals : Generate a consistent and predictable stream of clients for his Saas products on a monthly subscription basis . We assist in the following ways : Create a sales funnel and use Facebook Ads Marketing to drive traffic to Anthony 's products . Messaging Strategy : Reach out to Anthony via cold email and use email copy that directly addresses his lack of sales skills and how we can get him clients more consistently and predictably , allowing him to focus on creating solutions for his customers . Approach
With these insights , my SMMA client created a successful cold email outreach strategy that addressed the pain points of their potential and current customers . They increased their open email rate from 11 percent to 32 percent in just two months , exceeding their sales targets by more than 50 percent . Overall , both my client and I were happy with their newfound success . Reflecting on the experience , I can confidently state that Mind Mapping is a powerful tool for brainstorming and processing information that can assist an entrepreneur in meeting any design challenges .

Challenge
As a Head of Business unit i decided to undertake a growth initiatives and produce new sources of revenue and profitability . The very purpose of growth initiatives is to create new S Curves of income to replace existing S Curves and in order to do this our team has been decided to do divergent thinking to generate all possible ideas and then test them in a disciplined manner to determine which idea warrant investment
My business unit is responsible for Desktop sales and we have taken 20 % growth target for the current Qtr . Considering the past performance the average growth we produced is 5 % in a Qtr and now our team have decided to take this task of producing 20 % growth in revenue . As a part of initiative we had decided to use cross functional sales strategy to have immediate incremental sales and for that we have chosen to join hands with UPS team . We decided to promote a sales scheme which will have desktop and UPS Bundle as a single solution with better price points .
Selection
Considering the timelines and the cost involved our team has already gone through several design thinking activities / tools , so we are ready to try the learning launch tool . Broadly speaking , the learning launch is an experiment meant to quickly test an idea and prototype .
Application
Our business unit have very strong customer base and we cut across almost 4000 business partners in a Qtr and it is impossible to test this initiative with all the regions and the customers . Considering the cost involved , we decided to use this learning launch tool in one region instead going across all the regions and with the findings we will implement the strategy to the rest of the regions . Having the strategy implemented in a region which is south region to start with , we will know how our assumptions and the customer expectations are aligned .
Insight
By applying the learning launch tool , our team identified our assumptions and the customer expectation are alignment very much . The solution which we offered is very well received by the business partners and the sales enquires increased to a new high in just 2 days . Additionally , we found that a more agile approach would improve our strategy , and that both our team and the key stakeholders would be fairly open to the new prioritization of tasks and process . The business partners community are very much impressed by our new scheme and in turn the demand in the market has increased as the solution we offer is very attractive in terms of price and the usage . This new demand raise will open lot of new avenue for our company to enhance the revenue and the probability
Approach
Our team already tought of several design thinking activities and finally decided the learning launch tool . This tool is fast and cost effective and we were able to achieve the objective . As i mentied , now our team will review the outcomes of this region and add add few more aspects in our sales scheme and we will implement to the rest of the region . We are now sure to achieve the desired results .

Challenge & Selection
Mind mapping is an amazing tool used by all ages from all points of view and
development stands . Since early school , people have used mind maps to centralize an idea , and from there visualize that idea and start branching it into sub - sections . Mind maps authors are essential since the mind map has a unique meaning and interpretation for the author and creator of it . In reference to the mind map video of week 3 , mind mapping looks for patterns and insights in large amounts of data collected . Then the next phase is to establish criteria for the what - if stage . Mind maps focus mostly on extracting patterns from the data and generalize an idea .
The challenge I take part in is that of the construction of a prototype for the
intermittent mechanism of a billboard . The billboard needs to be of three faces and as per request of the client it has requirements . Mind - mapping is ideal for two reasons , we can take the next step and based on our ideas , branch the team member ideas and then narrow them down to design parameters that need to be the mind map steps . Another is the fact that a mind map is subject to the ideas of the creator , it can be interpreted in many ways , therefore we can use the client requirements , and look for many options in the design steps .
Application The tool was applied to design this mechanism of intermittent movement , first the
client requirements were given to us , they were clear that it should have a specific time to block the mechanism and it should rotate 120 degrees . As well as it should be for a three - sided ad billboard . The tool was applied effectively in two ways , first the mind mapping steps were done clearly , to analyze the types of existing mechanisms to be used to block a mechanism for a period of time , the next step was to check a way for the prism to be held , we analyzed that a shaft would be needed , however we could use some other form to hold the prism . These types of branches generated helped us to keep a mind map in place and to start the designing of the processes to be used . The most important steps were the initial ones , to know how to map the path for the mechanism to be done . We also started to gain more insight for the next steps as the proper options were determined previously . Once we had generated effectively the steps of the mind map , the team went on
to share their own mind map steps , and these steps were all later merged into a single mind map . The central focus was always the mechanism , and into its branches we would classify each step with a color that would help us visualize and feel the different steps and sub - sections . Insight & Approach After concluding our mind map , we proceeded to having our prototype and
finishing the project . I was clearly impressed with our results , by designing this prototype we complied with the client requirements and we elaborated even more on
deep thinking and how our project was very beneficial in order to think of new mechanisms , supports for the mechanism in order for it to have the exact time exposure . As we stemmed the main idea with its branches and further gained more insight effectively on new mind map ideas we achieved a broader thinking . Mind map tool is great for design process , this course helped me envision
correctly the mind map tool and not just look at it from a superficial standpoint , we can go deep within it and further assess each branch and new mind map idea gained from insight . I will keep on using the mind map tool as it is a great thinking method for the user and helps to develop new ideas for the main central focus of the project , and the most important thing , mind maps are great for actual physical prototyping stage pre- planning .

As we stemmed the main idea with its branches and further gained more insight effectively on new mind map ideas we achieved a broader thinking . Mind map tool is great for design process , this course helped me envision
correctly the mind map tool and not just look at it from a superficial standpoint , we can go deep within it and further assess each branch and new mind map idea gained from insight . I will keep on using the mind map tool as it is a great thinking method for the user and helps to develop new ideas for the main central focus of the project , and the most important thing , mind maps are great for actual physical prototyping stage pre- planning .

● Complexity handled
● Relevance to business ( at the point in time )
● Impact created
GCE - TAC ( Globalisation Centre East – Technical Assistance Centre ) was just about finding its way into the India hub and was by design mandated to be the largest , most cost efficient and qualitatively superior centre as compared to its counterparts in the Americas , Europe and Australia . The mantra was to be super quick in all aspects and to not wait for the perfect structure to emerge prior to execution but to let it evolve over the various stages of its growth .
One of the foremost action plans subsequent to a speedy head count ramp up was to start operations and in doing so , migrate large chunks of businesses from the other global centres . Having secured a reasonable quantum of business , it was imperative that one had to get into the most minute detail to ensure operational success . No , we did not have to reinvent the wheel here but to simply mirror the other centres across all aspects of conducting business while also adapting the methodology to local scenario and convenience .
-Selection- Gathering context to the situation from the IBM example cI have selected LEARNING LAUNCH . Here 's why :
While working in a high speed , high energy environment that is perenially on overdrive mode , we often tend to override basic values , systems , procedures , design and in doing so arrive at quick fix solutions . Now , these may never be wrong and may be more than serving the purpose at those points in time , but from a long term perspective , it was clear that the fast pace should never be an excuse for non compliance to the basics .
Business analytics & metrices suggested that we were indeed lagging behind specifically in the adoption of certain protocol tools that were the backbone of every successful TAC centre and since this was in line with the objective of mirroring other centres , project " back to basics " took shape .
-Application- Effective and constant engagement with our young audience ( the bread winners for TAC ) ensured that not only did they not
detest change but embraced the same in a bid to outdo their peers and counterparts , ensuing in healthy competition and
ensuring alarming results .
The launch approach was simple yet effective .
● It piloted over a very limited emerging geography , the India centre .
● It worked on a set of assumptions derived from an iterative approach observing other global centres as well as adapting for local context .
● The " competition " approach tugged at the sensibility of the young raring to go population and worked well to secure participation .
-Insight- Significantly enhanced team performances by driving process tool adoption programmes with Global centres as benchmarks . ( from 49 % to 87 % in 6 weeks )
While " back to basics " covered just a single performance metric in terms of process adoption , it paved the way to run multiple small projects using the learning launch tool as it catered to a ) mirroring the immediate business needs b ) converting resistance to a competitve streak and bringing together the team and business objective cohesively .
While " back to basics " covered just a single performance metric in terms of process adoption , it paved the way to run multiple small projects using the learning launch tool as it catered to a ) mirroring the immediate business needs b ) converting resistance to
I felt this -Approach - served us perfectly on the following counts :
● Launch quickly : instead of going back and forth to the discussion board , learning launch hrlped test the environment , be a
part of the live environment , iterate approach and adapt and learn and hence test and improvise . ● As indicated in the problem definition / challenge , it helped us converge high energy of the young populace to deliver within the framework of basic values and process integrity .
● Value creation : The pilot proved that selection of the right tool kit was essential and crucial to value system . It ensured total involvement , engagement and quickly paved the way for the India unit to not lose sight of framework while hurrying to building the business .
I would therefore conclude that the approach more than optimal having aided in the current objectives as well as pave the way for iterations and developments in wider aspect range . Thank You .

Challenge
Mind mapping is a great tool which I have used in almost all academia projects . I am a student at Kasetsart University Laboratory School ( ULVR Parsons , Mumbai ) currently pursuing Strategic Design Management Program . Last fall semester I worked on service design project for digital banking services . The challenge was to find what are the problems faced by the consumers in Indian banks . The whole idea was to understand the pain areas , needs of both the customers as well as the bank employees and how we can improve the experience for both the customers & bank employees by creating and reimagining a service design in Indian banks . The problem statement that our group framed was “ How might we create simplified banking services ( Digital / Physical ) for the urban consumers in India ”
Selection
Before starting the project me and my team members were quite well aware with the design thinking tools / methodologies so collectivelty we first decided to use the mind mapping tool and unbundle the banking industry target customers . The advantages of mind mapping is that it helps us in generating new creative ideas and also it is a great method which help us to categorize and organize ideas in a better form . It is the best brainstorming method or tool which engages all stakeholders in the design process .
Application
Our group first started unbundling / dividing the banking industry for eg . What are the types different types banking services and what are the processes under them . To make our job simple we divided the mind map into three parts and also assigned them different colour codes which were –
Unknown , Underleveraged - Green ( High opportunity area ) Known , but Underleveraged – Yellow Known and Overleveraged – Red
This categorization actually helped us to identify those high opportunity areas where there is a great opportunity for us innovate / disrupt the current state of banking experiences . It gave us a detailed understanding of the areas that we as team need to focus on and identify the problem areas for the same .
Insight
As mentioned above the mind map tool helped us to identify various customer pain areas which eventually led us to frame the problem statement for our project . Not only this but it allowed us to think out of box and map our thoughts , connections , triggers without conflicting any individual ’s inputs .
Approach
According to me mind mapping is brainstorming tool which can not be neglected by anyone in the design thinking process . It is a appropriate tool to start with any design process . Whenever we work on a similar project my team would definitely utilize this tool to get into the crux of the matter through the mind and how they mapped .

The challenge that I have been assigned to in the current working environment is to improve existing project management process to deliver projects on time and within costs and improve customer/ stakeholder satisfaction . To address the objective I have to work with my existing team which is a three member and interact with immediately related teams of Finance , risk , governance , central procurement team and other corporate stakeholders like my client and onshore stakeholders . We wish to personally connect with all stakeholders and understand their perspective to find out the improvement areas .
Selection :
Although we have studied various tools in the design thinking course , I have chosen the Visualization technique tool . This technique uses imagination to draw chart , pictures and bring other on same page to draw out a mutual agreed upon process and improvements .
Application
I created , ‘ what is ’ stage by drawing the existing process on the paper . Thereafter I met department representatives from each of the above mentioned departments to gain their perspective on challenges they faced in the existing process . I made a note of those individual inputs and redrawn the existing process with those inputs incorporated . The updated version of the process was shared with the all the stakeholders highlighting the areas that were changed . By doing this exercise the biggest gain apart from the changes identified was the buy - in from the stakeholders and placing them on a common page/ understanding about the process which had been lacking so far making it most challenging aspect .
Insight
By implementing Visualization technique we were able to understand and articulate the changes to the existing process and were able to put in front of the stakeholders . With inputs from stakeholders we were able to brainstorm and shortlist the most effective improvements in existing process and made amendments . The result achieved after implementing the improvised process in lesser escalations and reduction of conflicts in the individual project calls . We have made this an yearly exercise now to revisit our process and bring improvements . I would also like to use the learning launch tool in my next exercise .
Approach
As mentioned above the Visualization technique has enabled us to gain a different perspective in to the problem and helped us articulate the changes relevant in the process to bring the improvement . During our next iterations we will further deep dive on the results gained and apply other techniques to obtain new ideas that can be used for implementations

marriage
Challenge and Selection
Storytelling is a great tool to motivate people to bring change in them . Storytelling is a process where the speaker knitted the story with actor and actress with strong but compelling message and the audience find themselves inside the story . I choose to use this tool to motivate people because I found it most convenient for me . Due to my administrative authority I have to speak , communicate and meet with all kinds of people of the society and they usually prefer to listen my speech . So this is a great opportunity for me to tell stories to my audience and the service seekers .
Child marriage is a big problem in my country . According to UNICEF report , “ the State of the World ’s Children , 2009 ” , 64 % of girls married before age 18 . Along with Child Marriage Act , 1929 , the minimum age for marriage is 18 years for female and child marriage is punishable by law . Though we have legal instrument , the rate of child marriage is very high in rural area for many reasons . As I am serving as an administrative officer having executive magistracy authority , I have to stop and sentence punishment for arranging child marriage . But these are extreme measures I have to take when the illegal marriage is occurring neglecting our request . So I planned to make awareness through motivating the parents to prevent child marriage . In rural area , parents believe that their female child should be married at early age for many reasons- social tradition ( due to misleading religious and social belief ) , dowry ( higher the age higher dowry practiced mostly in the Hindu community ) , poverty , insecurity , not interested to invest after girl for education etc . Due to my work responsibility I have the opportunity to visit schools and attend their ‘ guardian assembly ’ especially the ‘ mother assembly ’ which occurs once in every month . I selected to tell them a story taken from my colleague ’s personal life and motivate them through the story . I found it interesting when I used to tell the story to school girls and their parents , they appreciate the story very much and dream to become like my colleague .
Application
First , let me share the story with you . My colleague who is a female officer in civil service told me the story which is taken from her childhood . When she was 16 years of age , her father set her marriage with a magistrate who was also serving in civil service . But her mother was not agreed with the decision and she denied and protested . She played a strong role to protect her daughter from child marriage because she knew the hazards which will occur after the marriage . She explained her family members about the physical and mental shocks which will happen to the bride . She made promise to everyone that one day her
daughter would became magistrate by her own and she would provide every necessary measure about her education . Due to her strong protest , my colleague ’s father compelled to change his decision and provided all support for education . Now my colleague is a civil servant as well as a magistrate and interestingly her husband is also a magistrate . Both of her parents now feel proud that their decision was so right that now they get two magistrates at same time in their family .
When I used to tell the story to students and their parents , I also try to make them understand what might happen if child marriage occurred to a girl and how they can make assets by educating her instead of marrying her at early age . I also share other stories from my experiences from the girls whose marriages were stopped by me and later they are doing well in their studies . In one assembly I took one such girl and her parents with me and represent her in front of audience to share her experience and success . The feedbacks I get from them are so inspiring- one day after my storytelling one father stood up and he promised that he would support his daughters and nieces to make them educated so they can walk raising their heads high .
Insight
The insights I got from the events that , people in rural or urban know about illegality of child marriage , but when they get a good bridegroom ( in their definition ) the family members force the girl to sit for the marriage without thinking far . They believe , girls have to be married one day so why not now when you get the best bridegroom . And in some community the parents believe rather to invest after education they will provide dowry with that money . Mostly , uneducated and poverty driven parents are prone to get their girls in early marriage . They do n’t try to understand the potential which yet to flourish inside the girls . They do n’t foresee the possibilities among them . The storytelling tool actually incite the hopes among the parents and they start to believe that their girls will one day raise their heads high and not only them but also the society will feel proud for them . After listening the stories the audiences are sharing the stories to others in tea stall or in house female gathering . So the stories are moving from ear to ear and make them thinking about their girls ’ future . This tool can make them dreaming and the girls can build their confidence to protect themselves from child marriage .
Approach
I have shared my views and experiences with my senior authorities and abled to convince them to apply this approach to replicate in their jurisdiction . I plan to expand the storytelling tool involving the girls whose marriages were stopped by administration or local elites . These girls ’ stories will inspire other girls and parents . The girls can form committee involving local representatives , elites and others who can take immediate steps
to stop child marriage and aware the vulnerable and prone families . Storytelling is a powerful tool through which we can take innovative motivation initiative to change our society .

So the stories are moving from ear to ear and make them thinking about their girls ’ future . This tool can make them dreaming and the girls can build their confidence to protect themselves from child marriage .
Approach
I have shared my views and experiences with my senior authorities and abled to convince them to apply this approach to replicate in their jurisdiction . I plan to expand the storytelling tool involving the girls whose marriages were stopped by administration or local elites . These girls ’ stories will inspire other girls and parents . The girls can form committee involving local representatives , elites and others who can take immediate steps
to stop child marriage and aware the vulnerable and prone families . Storytelling is a powerful tool through which we can take innovative motivation initiative to change our society .

Challenge :
As a remedial asset officer I deal with customers whose loan has completely gone bad . The major challenge I have mostly is how to present my data information on none performing loans , to enable a proper decision is carried out on recovery . Therefore , for this goals to be achieved I have to use a tool to pass information on all NPL account to the required stakeholder to notify them of where this loan is currently , where we are heading and how they can be resolved in - order not to affect the liquidity of the bank and also keep it running in the nearest future .
Selection :
I use Visualization tools to achieve my goals by creating images , diagrams , and animations to communicate a message to the necessary stakeholders on decision making . Why I choose this techniques for my challenge is to achieve a share understanding amongst stakeholders on the NPL ( None performing loans ) , that is to give a clearer picture of all NPL , so that a bridge on WHAT IS , WHAT IF , WHAT WOWS and WHAT WORKS is built before an appropriate decision can be taken to prevent future threats that can hinder the growth and development of the bank ( lack of liquidity ) .
Application :
I start the process by creating images on various regions . I use diagrams to show the position of each NPL in this regions . To develop this images and diagrams I had to collect existing data of this various regions . Then with the help of this data collected I was able to create diagrams ( graphics and Visio was use to show the state of the bank and its debtors ) and also use images to show how this bad loans can affect the growth of the bank .
Insight :
The insight I gained from applying the tool I selected on my major challenge as a recovery officer is that with the help of this tools selected , Ideas on way forward towards recovery becomes a shared Idea . That is , I have been able to understand that before design thinking can take place a bridge ( WHAT IS , WHAT IF , WHAT WOWS and WHAT WORKS ) has to be built or a prototype is generated , which can give an edge on the direction of the resolution of this bad loans and also dictate if this challenge towards recovery is WICKED OR TAMED challenge .
Approach :
Visualization tools used helps to give stakeholders a clear picture on the information on NPL am trying to pass across , but what I would do differently next time is to use LEARNING LUNCH tools simply because it involves hypothesis , that way stakeholders will be able test new ideas drive from information gather on recovery , how to meets its need and avoid more loans going bad through this hypothesis testing in the nearest future .

The main idea is to help them to have a better life with some tips in finance , marketing and commercial issues . Each entrepreneur was consulting about his / her business with the idea to analyze and select a mentor who can work closely with them . The period with each entrepreneur is 6 months and at the end of this period if they want , they can do another six months . The challenge is to find what is the best way to communicate and to teach them because most of them do n’t finish secondary school or primary school . We agree to have six meetings with each entrepreneur and six meetings with the experts who are in charge of the program . Expert in communications , psychologist , counters and profesional from marketing .

Name : Maria Age:37 Labor : Cooker and wife Sons > 1 girl of 10 years old She has a little store in the villa area and she sells empanadas tucumanas . She want to know how she can growth this business and do it more professional She is worried because she is a mother full time . Sometimes his husband does n’t want her work all the time . She cooks great empanadas . All the neighbours love her .
Barriers > guilt , time/ work , money , not enough experience Motivations > independence , to make happy people , to have her own restaurant in the center of the city . The idea is to know very well their profile and experiences , type of life , fears , strengths and what they want for their future . We insist on making SWOT ( strength weakness opportunity threat)too .
these are some picture they choose from other group of pictures
we identify THIS IDEAS
what they fear ● no enough money
● they donñt trust people
● they do n’t have time
● guilty
what they know most ● they learn something since their childhood or maybe their parent teach them .
● They are hard workers
● live with few money .
● they are brave
what they think they need money . knowledge , skills education
popuse progress . bigger business , more money , partner
HOw they feel with energy frustrated exciting fear exhausted
Insigth : We realise that a lot of people want to progress in similar situations . Most of them do n't have money or the opportunities to find their ways . They need classes and training of commercial business , personal finance and other things , but the most important thing we discover is that every people need to be curious and motivated to be better and to know that they have the opportunity to change their life . All of them never give up .. so they alway work hard every day … they only need the opportunity to be better . Some of them have no trust in people who can help them . So the important thing is to create real confidence between 2 person to support each other and to learn from each other . Approach We have to create a very good communication between the mentor and the entrepreneur use all the information and data to elaborate a profile of each person to understand their situation and to discover their real needs . The easy thing seems to give them education but it is not the principal . We need to give them confidence and believe in themselves .
The next steps are to make games , dynamic exercises to teach those things . People learn a lot with games . and it is an easy way to teach .. They enjoy and play at the same time . We need to create some association with pymes or small companies just to show them that they can have the same . Some examples of people who start in a similar situation . This kind of things can motivate to reach what they really want , and to be better . We realize that the next time we can make personal meetings with each other to see progress in their projects . And if they need another kind of help or maybe they discover another situation that comes during the projects .

Storytelling is a great tool and largely used by managers to motivate executives and customers . It has personally helped me lot of time to relate with people on ground and in office . My job profile involves lot of travelling to rural areas where people speak different tongue , which I could understand partially and they mine . It was a challenge and fun to communicate with them and to do business .
India , rural people are more friendly and talkative . They love to communicate most of the things and it helped me to build relation as well as to do business .
Storytelling helps to pass information in a structured way ; people could easily relate to it and also remember it for longer time . It has helped me to communicate and has proved as icebreaker .
Application
I applied this when I was placed in rural Maharashtra , and I could n’t speak their mother tongue . Initially after few days , I picked up their language and could understand and they mine because of national official language . The product which I was handling / financing was of higher ticket size and involved lot information to be collected from customer . People are not comfortable most of the times to share personal information . I had to spend three to four hours with the customers in their agriculture fields , analyzing crops and income from it . Storytelling helped me to easily gather information without making customers uncomfortable . As we had initially language barrier , storytelling helped me not only to do business but also to spend extra time and make friends .
Insight & Approach
Customers started opening up and shared their problems , and also referred me new leads . The extra time which I could spend with them due to storytelling , helped me to know about their projects and assets deployment . They also helped me to do field investigation with genuine information of the new leads . Basically it helped me to build relationship and to gain trust .
This tool helped me to know people , resolve problems either in office or on field .

Challenge
As a member of ATM support team in an IT department of my organizations , our challenge is to improve the workflow ( activities and projects ) within the team in order to increase ATM uptime channel and its availabilities to customers . The project scope includes the ATM uptime in the department composed of five employees , as well as the network team , with whom we work closely . The project is limited to ATM uptime with available resources ( i.e. , budget and employee time ) . The project should not exceed 60 business days and the solution should include an even distribution of working hours amongst the team members . We will focus on trying to uncover the technical issue in the team , as well as key stakeholders within the IT department , consider to be ineffective or problematic with regard to ATM downtime and technicality of fixing the problem .
Selection
Our team has gone through various design thinking innovation activities / tools , so we are ready to try the learning launch tool . The learning launch is an experimental tools meant to quickly test an idea and prototype of the project that will increase ATM uptime and generate income to the organization .
Application
The first learning launch , we focused on restructuring of our ATM management tools and system . In particular , we wanted to see if we could restructure our ATM monitoring tools , projects and processes of managing our work ( e.g. , response time , rate of break down , the brand of ATM , age of the machine , etc . ) in an effort to become more agile in the support and management of the machine This test our assumption that restructuring of our ATM management is the main causes of our workflow challenge . Our team went through a three - day training with the technical partner . These t sessions occurred within a week . We expected to produce a document with a clear description of our new module of structure , the second learning launch , we focused on gaining clarity about our tasks and priorities in handle the technicality of the project that will increase ATM performance . This test our assumption that our priority was wear and tear of spare part which is the main cause of our workflow challenge . Our team completed a value chain spare part partner that will make the worn - out part available . We shared a new proposed structure of ATM management workflow to the stakeholder to understand the process and priority of the task . With this , some change were carryout .
Insight
Applying the learning launch tool , our team identified our assumptions and designed launches to test these assumptions . 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 priority tasks and process . Our actual results were slightly same with what we anticipated . While our team was open to the priority of tasks and process , the key stakeholders in the team 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 the final deployment of the solution in the design thinking timeline .
Approach
Given that our team has gone through various design thinking innovation activities / tools and are at this stage in the timeline , the learning launch is the appropriate too for the taskl . Future launch designs should reflect insight gained , progress made , and come closer to a compelling solution ready for deployment .

We make top - quality equipment which is expensive , and a we are trying to broaden our customer base by finding ways to make it more affordable . We have designed our products in such a way that they can not be shared , i.e. every one of our customers needs to buy their own telephone system . It occurred to us that if we could find a way to allow our Telephone systems to work in a shared manner , all the companies in an office building could share the system , which would reduce costs significantly . This is known as a multi - tenant arrangement . Since it would take us at least 9 months to build this capability into our products , we contacted a Korean company who had developed software that would do the job . By adding this software to our systems , we could add the desired multi - tenant capability . We had done some basic tests but we did not know whether this would be a satisfactory solution for our resellers and for our end customers . The challenge was to make sure that whatever solution we came up with would not fail . A word on our commercial model : we do not sell directly to the end users , we go through resellers who buy from us . They install the systems and provide post - sales support , as well as training on how to use them . Selection Of all the Design Thinking tools , the one chosen was a Learning Launch . It was the one that would help us analyse what could happen when we made our combined product available on the market , since we could carefully design an experiment to test the validity of the assumptions we were making for our initiative . In contrast to a full new - product roll - out , a learning launch is a learning experiment conducted quickly and inexpensively to gather market - driven data to determine whether a growth idea has enough merit to warrant detailed investigation with the commitment of further time , people and resources . This is exactly what we needed before we released our new product to our network of resellers . Application The way we applied the tool was by contacting three resellers with whom we had a close working relationship . They had the necessary technical and commercial expertise to tell us whether we were onto a good idea . These resellers each contacted one customer which had expressed interest in a solution like the one we were launching . Our sales and technical teams , together with the reseller teams , met the customers to get a detailed understanding of their requirements . Taking these into account , we built systems which were installed and tested at customer site . This direct interaction with the end user allowed us to validate our primary assumption , i.e , that incorporating the Korean company ’s software onto our products resulted in a solution that was fit for purpose . We were able to go into detailed tests and get real - time feedback from the users themselves .

### Input: Assignment : Reflection - Learning Launch Challenge I work for a company that makes Telephone systems . We make top - quality equipment which is expensive , and a we are trying to broaden our customer base by finding ways to make it more affordable . We have designed our products in such a way that they can not be shared , i.e. every one of our customers needs to buy their own telephone system . It occurred to us that if we could find a way to allow our Telephone systems to work in a shared manner , all the companies in an office building could share the system , which would reduce costs significantly . This is known as a multi - tenant arrangement . Since it would take us at least 9 months to build this capability into our products , we contacted a Korean company who had developed software that would do the job . By adding this software to our systems , we could add the desired multi - tenant capability . We had done some basic tests but we did not know whether this would be a satisfactory solution for our resellers and for our end customers . The challenge was to make sure that whatever solution we came up with would not fail . A word on our commercial model : we do not sell directly to the end users , we go through resellers who buy from us . They install the systems and provide post - sales support , as well as training on how to use them . Selection Of all the Design Thinking tools , the one chosen was a Learning Launch . It was the one that would help us analyse what could happen when we made our combined product available on the market , since we could carefully design an experiment to test the validity of the assumptions we were making for our initiative . In contrast to a full new - product roll - out , a learning launch is a learning experiment conducted quickly and inexpensively to gather market - driven data to determine whether a growth idea has enough merit to warrant detailed investigation with the commitment of further time , people and resources . This is exactly what we needed before we released our new product to our network of resellers . Application The way we applied the tool was by contacting three resellers with whom we had a close working relationship . They had the necessary technical and commercial expertise to tell us whether we were onto a good idea . These resellers each contacted one customer which had expressed interest in a solution like the one we were launching . Our sales and technical teams , together with the reseller teams , met the customers to get a detailed understanding of their requirements . Taking these into account , we built systems which were installed and tested at customer site . This direct interaction with the end user allowed us to validate our primary assumption , i.e , that incorporating the Korean company ’s software onto our products resulted in a solution that was fit for purpose . We were able to go into detailed tests and get real - time feedback from the users themselves .
