Reflection-Visualization

Challenge & Selection

The tool I selected was the visualization.   Visualization is the conscious use of images in our work process, with the intention of bringing an  idea to life, in addition to helping to simplify the concept, and for the team to understand and  assume it to work on it collaboratively. Ultimately, it also serves to create a story that guides us in  our work and generates enthusiasm for the innovative idea.  It pushes us to expand the use of oral or written language, to go beyond words and to unlock the  most creative part of our brain, something we do not use so often, especially the managerial class.

I use this tool often in the company where I´m doing my psychological practices because  each  week groups of young people enter to work in operational areas and require training that until a  while ago was too boring, causing people to tire quickly and pay no attention because it was too  much theory.

Application

As a very practical tool, visualization has allowed the company to develop a different methodology  to train new young people entering, allowing  to offer a creative way of training in which they  learn about the company but also begin to understand what the role they will be play.

Before implementing this useful tool in the training of new employees, the company had identified  as a problem the way in which its new employees were being trained because they were  demotivated during this induction time and did not enter with a clear thought about what that  they should do in their daily work so they realized that they had to implement design thinking  in  this part of the training and they chose visualization as a fundamental tool.

As a psychology practitioner, I must take charge of these trainings every day and teach young  people in a creative way, giving them infographics, videos and comic  stories on a board so that  they know the company and so that they know what the role they will play.  Likewise there are days when they are given a tour of the entire company and the area where they  go to work and then they are asked to write on small colored papers what they liked the most  about the tour, and then paste them on a board in front of everyone else and by groups create a  story based on everything they observed and lived during the tour.

Insight & Approach

Thanks to the visualization tool it manages to capture all the ideas that arise, document the whole  process through drawings, short texts and images, as well as streamline the communication  processes between the different project actors, has allowed us as an organization to implement  techniques that have undoubtedly improved the process, induction and training for young  people.

We have currently surveyed many of them and we can show that they feel highly motivated during  the induction process as well as in the role they play in the area. We observe that they are more  creative, express their feelings and emotions more easily and also help us implement techniques  to improve the company's operational areas. Visualization is undoubtedly a highly effective tool  that provides excellent results.
