Reflection - Visualization    Challenge & Selection    I opted for the visualization because this point has the greatest value for me, no matter what a  project is related to.    The visualization promotes immense creativity, leaves stuck routines in your head and creates space  for new things. Like a meadow after the winter. First there is still frost on this (routine, stuck thinking  / acting). The spring is the frost and the meadow begins to bloom. This happens when people are  asked what they could change and how they see it or what they wish for. For a huge potential, which  is far too little used by companies (whether line process or project).  If we ask these questions first, more and more ideas come to light. Not only that, you can feel in the  head how it works, a touch of freshness, maybe a little euphoria.  Through the emerging ideas, a project idea can develop in a perhaps even better direction. Or there  are offshoots for follow-up projects, which I would like to describe with innovations. As if from a core  (the actual project) many small buds sprout (project completion, follow-up projects, ...). These can  then be integrated into the project or outsourced to smaller / different projects. And even if they are  not used, they end up in the table at most. Maybe they will help us at a later stage or provide  inspiration for new approaches.    Application    As a tool for visualization, I chose the MS Office Suite for me. There are many tools that can be used  specifically for visualization. But it's important to me that anyone working on a project can master  the tools that can be used to capture, capture or evaluate.  The MS Office suite is a) compact with all its programs and b) many people can handle the programs  at least to a degree. In addition, files are created in formats that are interpreted by many systems.  This saves time for an introduction to the operation of other software; saves you the unnecessary  installation of additional software, so you can spend more time on a project.  In addition, the MS-Office Suite has become such an extent that it is easy to link different files  required for the project.    Flexibility offers me free alternatives like Libre Office. With this, created files can be accessed, edited  and also saved in MS format. Although it can come to formatting losses but it is important that as  many people as possible with many operating systems and Office suites can work with project files.    Insight & Approach    Last but not least, the visualization helps to get in touch with people. Maybe you've been working  with a colleague in the same building for years, only one office away from him but never really had  any contact with him. Now you work out a project in a group and realize that maybe you have a lot in  common. Who knows. Depending on the scope of the project, 3, 4 or more departments can work  together. Maybe also internationally across countries. Mixed with the resulting potential, many good  things can come of it. Cooperations and innovations. Not only value for the company, own prosperity  through successful work and promotion in the company, bonuses and the like. And even if "only" the

project is successful and then you return to your lineage activities, you have a different, bland feeling  and the certainty that you have contributed to the success of something. In addition, the fresh  momentum gained in our own minds has an impact on our activities and in the private sphere and  who knows, maybe we have made great new contacts during the term and working in the project,  which has formed friendships.    There is so much more to this topic, but that should be enough for the first reflection. Even if I should  not have fulfilled the task now, then the participation in this course alone has taken me a step  further. Thanks a lot for this.
