Example Reflection: Mind mapping

Challenge and selection

I am using mind mapping as to tool to solve a problem facing my farmers. Hear in this report the root

problem, I am going to address is the pricing for the yield which they produced. Because of the market

fluctuations farmers are not getting paid enough for the product they are selling in the market just

because of mad market the value of the product is decreased way more than the actual value. The main

objective is to educate the farmers according to the market conditions

Application

We started focusing on problems faced by the farmers from very early stage to reaching the market at

so we decided to segment the problem in chunks and try to identify the problems in every stage so

segmented entire problem into four stages, after identifying the problems we tried to figure out , are

there any best practices to mitigate the problems. We involved the students from diverse fields to

gather information from their field of studies and try to implement them at ground level. The students

from agricultural department gave information about the best seeds to use for the good yield, and the

students from the business schools gave the demand and supply requirements of that particular product

Whatever the data we are getting is just the bookish knowledge after getting the data our team try to

observe the differences between the theoretical and the ground level executional differences and tryb

to figure where the execution part is going wrong

Insights and approach

We done a pilot program in a small village where the market and the production of product is in the

same place  so that it will me easy for us to find the difference of what we know, and what’s really

happening we figured many issues in  all the segments like there is no demand for one product in that

area but its supply is high so its value got decreased but for the same product there is lot of demand in

other market areas but the problem is farmers are not keeping Track of the market values  they need to

be educated to reach out for the better market places and one more buzzing concern is that the cost for

the transportation of the product to the other markets if individual farmer is trying to send the product

to the other markets he need to spend more money for transport so we tried to group the farmers  so

that the cost of transport will be reduced to the individuals
