Example Reflection – Visualization

Challenge & Selection

The tool I would like to talk about is visualization (Visual thinking). From my point of view  visualization is the most important tool we can use in design thinking and innovation, as it make  it easier for us to deliver our idea non-verbally and clearly to the customer or the audit and  same goes to the client if he want a specific design or an idea he/she can easily draw charts,  diagrams, animation or even random shapes to make his/her idea more clearly to us, Lots of  design thinkers call visualization as “the mother of all design tools”.

Some people may find it hard or a talent as they can’t imagine how things work, but by  practicing and activating the right side of our brain all of us can do visualization with a brilliant  and innovative way. You can find people using power-point presentations in collage and work  when they are trying to explain their idea and their own point of you to make it easier of the  audit to understand.

We can see the example of visualization in programmers, as they draw a flow chart before  writing the code to reduce the errors and in software engineers when they draw software  diagrams before implementing the system in real life and etc.

I will use this approach with my doctors and my colleagues in our graduation project to make  our idea more clearly and to help our doctors to find the problems in our project easier as they  will see the way we are thinking with and the creative part inside each one of us.

Application

I will start by giving each one of us a piece of paper to draw or write the project in a brief by our  own way of thinking and with our point of view using the existing material we have whether  those materials are slides, book, researches we have done or even some random thoughts in  our minds.

After finishing this step we will gather all those papers together to match our ideas together,  improve them and try to modify the bad ideas and if not we will simply discard them. Then we  will view our best innovative work to our doctors, in this case by the help of visualization, they  will easily understand the idea and detect the errors inside it in a very short time and without  complexity in understanding, they can also use visualization to modify our ideas or to add an  important missing part.

Insight & Approach

Well, this tool was so helpful for a better communication and for making an easier and better  understanding between people who wants to deliver a certain idea or a point of view. It is the  most important tool for design thinking and innovation as it is a time saver tool which helps you  to go straight forward to your point easily.

I have learned from this course to look at things with a different and a better way and to use  my imagination and let the innovation spread wider, I can add a learning launch tool too to  examine what I have did if it is effective or not by listening to the people and take their opinion  and feedback.

I am sure that now I am looking at things with a different way than ever and this will help me to  start my own start up correctly.
