VISUALIZATION    Challenge     To incorporate visualization tool in creating broadcasts through the use of our internal platform for our  internal clients and creating materials that will help them understand the methods, policies, & processes  in a simpler way.     Selection    I used visualization as an approach to address the challenge mentioned above because I believe through  concrete images & diagrams, I would be able to send the message to my target audiences. Visualization  is a tool set for creating images, diagrams, or animations to communicate a message. Visualization through  visual imagery has been an effective way to communicate both abstract and concrete ideas. It lets you  comprehend vast amounts of data at a glance and in a better way. It helps to understand the data better  to measure its impact on the business and communicates the insight visually to internal and external  audiences. To visualize something is to be able to see it in your mind. You plan to make it real and  attainable.     Visualization is really a core component of the way that we communicate, whether we're aware of it or  not. When we're dealing with very complex problems, we're actually enacting a different kind of problem  solving that has to bring in more than just logic. We're actually doing extrapolation. We're doing inductive  reasoning. We're thinking about possibilities that we haven't yet seen. So that kind of imaginative work  really has to be brought out by exercising and understanding that right side of our brain. Thus, getting in  the habit of doing visualization is actually a way of cultivating and unlocking that side of our brain work.  It allows us to think in a nonverbal way. It allows us to access parts of our brain, parts of our creativity, that  we might not normally be using in the course of conversation. It's basically anything that takes us beyond  just using words or language alone.    When we're talking and we're verbalizing things we see things internally, but we may all be understanding  the words in a slightly different way. The beauty of using visualization is that we can tap into a single  picture. The more we begin to use pictures, the more that we begin to diagram while we talk, and create  a visual image for people of how we are thinking. The more likely we are to achieve a sense of agreement  and consensus with people, the more we are likely to draw out conversation. In an environment where  our ability to get things done and to solve problems is dependent on other people being able to  understand you and align their ideas with ours.     Reference: Week 1 last video titled Visualization Tool    Application    Visualization is the process of putting together visual mental imagery of what you are wanting to manifest.  What I did is to brainstorm ideas, read references, and collect data and inputs from other people.  Afterwards, I started creating drafts for my broadcasts and materials. These have been reviewed  periodically by my supervisors and colleagues. Revisions have been made until the expected outputs were  developed. Finally, these have been cascaded to the intended clients. Their feedbacks have been well  noted. Through this, the outputs were enhanced to be more suitable to them. The tool has been applied

effectively because the feedbacks were acceptable and the goal to communicate properly in a simpler  way has been achieved.      Insight     Being creative and having a curious mind will be beneficial in using visualization as a tool. The feedback I  got from the internal clients help me to visualize more and address their concerns properly. Shared  insights, perspectives, and learning during the review session helped a lot. Having a positive and clear  mindset is also advantageous. Addressing the following concerns (i.e. Know What You Want to Say,  Construct a Good Story, Design for the Viewer's Eye, Add Color to the Story, Don't Crowd Your Audience,  Establish Context, Combine Text with Tables & Charts, & Make Your Visual Actionable) and establishing  an organized plan to make it easier to start the visualization process.     Approach    I’ll try to us other tools (i.e. Storytelling & Mind Mapping) to see if they will be more effective in  communicating to our internal clients. Else, I’ll research other tools to test what will be better way to  deliver the output in an effective and efficient way.
