Reflection – Visualization

Challenge & Selection

I have an issue that is I can’t explain to others what I’m thinking. From my explanation every  listener understands differently. So, most of the time If I have a good idea but I can’t explain  to others and get their approval. So, I decided to use a one of the design thinking tools. The  first tool I used was the tool of Visualization. Using that solution, I can explain what am I  thinking by using visual presentations. Visualization is a design tool, we can draw what we  thinking, what we are planning, what we are trying to do by draw a map or telling a story or  draw a picture or take a photo. The reason I selected this tool is to solve problems is  dependent on other people being able to understand me and align their ideas with me. Also,  I’m having a difficulty to explain by vocal to the people.

Application

I have an idea to making a website that selling farm related machines and other parts. But  my company have no idea what I’m thinking and what I’m trying to say. So, I draw a picture  to show them to understand my idea and align their ideas with me. I draw the user  interfaces of the websites and how to use each page efficiently and explain the navigation of  the site. By using visualization tool, I explained very well to the company staffs.

Then I selected some farming companies and farmers to get their ideas about the website.  Before I explained the website, I request them to draw what they think about shopping  farming machines online. By using their pictures, I decide most of them draw a website page  with some machine pictures. Then I decided they also expecting a website to buy machines  online. Finally, I explained my idea about the website, interface and navigation details.

Then I gave some pictures of the website user interface. Most of them understand the  website properly and some of them understand partially. But they can learn quickly to  understand some of the parts. In this whole process I used visualization tool technique.  From that I received a good result about my idea.

Insight & Approach

Before knowing the design thinking tools, I have a very difficult time in my life that is explain  my ideas and getting others ideas by vocal communication. Also, most of my ideas failed  because of that difficulty. Before start the process of the website design thinking I thought  this idea will be failed.

But I decided to follow one of the design thinking tools. After some research I decided to  follow visualization tool. I implemented that tool in my website idea. Then my first challenge

using visualization tool was successed. I submit all gathered details from the peoples to my  company and they were pretty happy about the idea and process. Finally, they accepted my  idea to implement in their next project.

From those insight results I decided to follow design thinking tools in every projects and  innovative ideas in future.
