Mind Mapping – Enterprise Project

Challenge:

I work as business architecture lead who basically decompose the

functions and capabilities in businesses and maps the values in the right  stream. I was assigned to lead complex project in addition to the current  projects. The project was large legacy system (functioning well) which  needs to be replaced with new system with emerging technologies. I stared  to read the important docs of it, interviewed SME to better understand. It  leads me to solve each module individually without integrating business  solution to other modules.

Selection:

I realized that I should look at the big picture at map all modules

together some way or another. So, I looked at Mind Mapping tool through  design thinking tools and techniques to help me better understand this  challenge at discover ways to solve it.

Application:

I started building the main modules in the center and write arrows that

leads to the sub-modules from each main module, and so on. Once I saw  all the modules and its related stakeholders and outputs at one look, it  leads me to better visualize the value stream though the functions on the  system. And create useful building blocks of the business.

Insight & Approach:

Having all the building blocks together gives me and the team more

visualization of linking each module with the correct one. While discovering  the mind mapping tool in this challenge, I addressed the opportunity to  utilize storytelling tool in design thinking that might help me in future

challenges, which gives me better understanding on how to link the  proposed solution to the original problem area.
