Example Reflection – Visualization

Challenge

I am a member of one of the division of my organization in college and our objective is as the  fundraiser for the organization itself. And as of the next year period I will try to go forward to  put myself up as the head of the division hence why I am taking this course. Our division has  some work program from selling merch, selling snacks and beverages, and even make a  business competition. And as a member I feel like our sales number just been too average and  nothing is really going on where I feel like its getting boring. So im planning to increase our sales  number and add one or two more work program to our division.

Selection

For the tool that im going to use is the Visualization or Visual Thinking, to share and tell my  purpose and goals as the head of division to our members. Because I feel like using this tool will  make the members fully understand what our goal as a division and will give them a better  evident of what is it that we are going to do.

Application

First of all, I will try to make my team understand that we are all in this together to achieve our  goals and not one or two individual will work on one program and other will work on another. I  will make a circle with our name written on the circle line and then there is a connecting line to  each other which implies that we are all connecting with each other even me as the head of  division.

And as for the work programs I will assign the members to a certain work programs but I will  apply a 70-30 rule where they are focus 70% to their work program and 30% to others. For each  programs I will make a mind map where it will be written with the objectives, things we should  do, things we should not do, extra information, and etc.

For the reports I will have each assigned members to report their progress, and I wouldn’t mind  the initial goals and objective that we make in the first place because things can happen and  they might have to change the things that we should do. I will have them report their progress  can through any kind of visualization, can be through mind map, power point or just a normal  drawing.

Insight & Approach

From conducting this exercise, I believe as a group we all will have a good shared understanding  as of what we want to accomplish as a group. Because like in the lecture says that people is  better to remember things visually that’s why I used this method to keep the goals to our mind  for whenever we confuse of what we should do. I believe the mind map will give a good picture  and understanding to our goals but also let the members be flexible on what or how they

approach the goals and objectives. And by using the visualization to approach the design  thinking I believe that when we doing reports we will get a good picture on what we should and  not going forward.
