Example Reflection – Visualization

Challenge and selection

I use the visualization tool for stakeholders who are wondering how to implement a final solution from  the point we are at. Often there are solutions to problems that have been exposed as optimal or best.  Although it is clear the approach of the solution, the way and how to reach it is not defined.

The visualization tool helps to focus the interested parties on the present state and to show a step-by- step how to reach final solutions that have already been formed. The visualization step-by-step  approach helps to put into perspective new potential solutions that are possible from different views  that differ from what they have in mind

Application

I start to show a summary of how we are in the present, some statistics and historical data of the  growth.

With the evolution of the data I asked them to define in their own words what it is and what we want to  improve, highlighting the difficulties and the present state. I asked them to make a top 5, through a  drawing of the most relevant aspects in their lives, represented by two hands, two feet and a head, of  what they would change in their lives with the improvement of the product.

Then I introduced two new concepts with the help of some simple mathematical formulas and the effort  that it takes the human being to make the transformation from a source to a product for final use,  through a representation like the top 5.  This helps to evoke that for the gain of the interested one’s,  another people make several efforts. An effort exchange diagram linking the two concepts brings us to  the present.

By having them in the present moment I go to some figures of projection that are in the market and by  means of simple conversions I define the real effort that is required to arrive at the solutions that are  had in mind. This helps to understand that the transformation that has been sold is not immediate and  that we require certain steps to be able to encompass the final transformation, but through an orderly  transition.

Insight & Approach

The orderly transition goes beyond the visualization and includes actual potentials, geographic  classifications, resource availability, projected needs and flexible packages.

The visualization helped to recognize new steps and new tools to define the problem, however, by  closing the focus to numbers, stakeholders did not dimension the effort that was needed, and this can  be a limitation or a landing for the public. Visualization focused on a more diverse audience to gain  perspectives from other sectors and new paths will be developed without number perspective for free  ideas exchange
