Visualization    Challenge & Selection    The first tool I used was the tool of Visualization, or Visual Thinking, to achieve a shared  understanding of a problem and the challenge that we were going to address was about how  we might help people to drink a sufficient amount of water on a regular basis to have a good  health     Selection    Visualization is about using images. It’s not about drawing; it’s about visual thinking. It  pushes us beyond using words or language alone. It is a way of unlocking a different part  of our brains that allows us to think non-verbally, When you explain an idea using words,  the rest of us will form our own mental pictures, usually informed by our training. When  you say, “We need a new growth platform,” the IT specialist sees servers and code and  the marketing guru sees an advertising campaign. If instead you present your idea to us  by drawing a picture of it, you reduce the possibility of unmatched mental models.  The first tool I used was the tool of Visualization, or Visual Thinking to make a possible  solution.  For making a plan how we can feed everybody in the world.  I selected visualization as a tool to solve the problem which I was going to address as it  was very complex and based on many thoughts that in a day people don't drink a sufficient  amount of water. Insufficient drinking of water leads to many affects on our body and our  daily routine. Families who struggle with insufficient drinking of water consistently go  without the nutrients their minds and bodies need, which then prevents them from being able  to perform their best at work, school or to improve their lives.      Application    I started the process by closely observing the peoples who is affected by insufficient drinking  of water and it affects to their routine. Started to draw scribbles on a blank sheet of paper. I  took help from my teammates and drew in the sheet whatever problem we thought to be a  problem of  insufficient water drinkers . We took some volunteers and gave them sheets to  draw their notion on how we can feed people who are suffering from water loss in their body.  The drawing format was 11” X 14” tracing paper. This size provided a compromise  between smaller formats where often it is difficult to explore details, and larger formats  that are difficult to fill. In the initial phase team members and volunteers were challenged  to move beyond single solutions and explore a broad range of opportunities.  The next phase was to transform loose concepts into a meaningful design. This was  achieved through the construction of more accurate visualizations and sorting down the  same points that the volunteers expressed through it which communicated a clearer intent  using tracing paper overlays to develop the design. Soon people were able to visualize the  problem they needed to work on or the area they were facing.  The final deliverable was a detailed drawing of their thoughts on problems faced by lack  of food and some sort of ways to overcome it. At last we found out the complete

evolution of our concept on the way the problem needed to be addressed.  There are areas we need to gain data like the number of people suffering from water loss in  their body everyday and how we can provide them at least their healthy basic meal everyday  by building up a community where people can help them.        INSIGHT AND APPROACH    By conducting this exercise with several groups I learnt that drawing or designing  graphics incorporates a person or a group of people essential feedback. Which stands is  important for reinforcing their understanding of the problem they are working to solve,  the more precious aspect of the activity is the shared insights and shared learning that  occurs while they are working to define their problem space. The graphic gives the  diverse group of teams a focal point for discussion that allows them to share their  perspectives and develop insights into which helps to find root causes of their problems  more efficiently and in an enhanced way. Where they could create the graphic from a  blank slate in a collaborative manner, and a more easy way to view their points they need  to cover. People can quickly identify where they are in the graphic or if there is  something missing and can more quickly gain new insights about relationships between  key entities instead of taking time to identify them. A team working on a problem can  also identify variables in the problem space, that is, it helps them to identify what they  don’t know, in what areas they need to obtain information and work accordingly to gain  data and pave their way to sort out the problem in a design thinking approach
