Reflection.

Challenge.

I am a full time student in the career of accounting, although at the moment I am  not working and I do not have a problem to solve as such, I have acquired practical  knowledge in problem solving, with the cases we study in the career, so my design  tool are strategic opportunities.

The development of design thinking is a great tool that has helped me to be able to  approach problem solving, not only with the apparent problem, but from the root,  observing the surrounding context and attacking the problem with a different  approach to the one we are used to, but resulting in an efficient and functional  solution.

Application

This course has given me tools to solve cases from a different perspective, which  has given me opportunities to apply in classes and being in a school gives me the  opportunity to discuss the thoughts with many people with different contexts, more  because there are often colleagues from different regions and nationalities with  different experiences in the application of work or in search of the same.

This course let me harvest my mind in an environment to a more open, creative  thinking and without fear of change, and the biggest benefit is that I can start to  work and develop my mind at this stage of my life, so that when I start my working  life, I do not submit only still rigid and structured thinking, but depending on the  case, apply the design thinking, looking for the most appropriate solution and avoid  the fear of knowing, innovate and risk the unknown.

Perspective

Carrying out this tool with my colleagues, was a little difficult and delayed, because  sometimes, we did not adequately distinguish which problem to attack, it is a  method that took us quite some time to incorporate, but that has given us very  positive results since with the practice and constancy, which we have done, we  manage to detect the main pillar of the problem and with which to create different  strategies.

Approach

The use of strategic opportunities, is a tool that has helped me greatly to expand  my panoramas of thought, and not only me, but my colleagues, giving more  creative solutions, perhaps not new but solving problems in a different way than  expected, the tool that would perhaps help us to complement mind maps since the  thinking of others greatly influences these types of problems and are important  aspects to consider.
