Example Reflection – Learning Launch

1. Challenge and Selection

As an undergraduate student, it is pertinent that a proper understanding of the  model is developed before scaling up. As such, there is a need to develop a  prototype and conduct experiments for validating the approach and to filter  out possible loopholes in the same. This would also provide scope for iteration  and refinement. All this would be crucial pre-work before getting on the  massive scaled industrial application of given project

2. Application

Whenever a project is assigned, it is important for us to decide on the priorities  and assign well defined scope areas. While each member may be working on  her/ his individual areas, everyone needs to have a relevant picture of his  contribution in the big picture. After successful discussing, brainstorming and  constructive discussion, there needs to be a real on-field experiment with  learning launch to identify scope for improvement.

The major application is to test with relatively less cost involved and identify  potential pitfalls that can be very costly if not identified. For an engineering  project, this could be a simple 3D working model demonstrating the aspects  and limitation of current model. This also bring everyone on the same page  and understand completely the idea that shall be scaled.

For theoretical application, these could involve simulations and graphic aided  research describing the various aspects of domain, the imposed constraints  and the methodology to tackle the same.

3. Insight and Approach

Learning Launch really provide insight by bringing together the designer  understanding and potential with client expectation. This makes sure that all  stakeholders are very clear with proof of the future endeavour. This also  ensures easy flow of scaling with least resistance as all designing and strategic  implementation are sorted and only executing efficiency needs to be  harnessed for optimum resource utilisation for scaling.
