Challenge & Selection

The visualization tool is one of the best tools to simplify the complex thought of a particular  idea. In my case, the members of my group come from different backgrounds of expertise.  The idea of micro-financial services might be translated differently if I discuss with a person  with non-finance or accounting related background, and vice versa. A simple idea  sometimes is seen as complex without a correct description and will lead to an inaccurate  interpretation.    This tool is useful to help us to deliver the same point from multi-perspective, and then, later  the team will be able to share the idea to the stakeholders using their own words. I use this  approach to pitch the potential group, partner and investor. One method in selecting the  challenge is by having a clear description and the team will identify the elements of the  challenge, what triggers it, the effect, and other things. Afterwards, if we have identified the  whole challenge elements, it’s easier to describe the solutions.

Application

I begin the process by introducing the challenges, divide it into some sections such as  cause, effect, and potential factors supporting the challenges. By doing so, we manage to  visualize the idea and this helps us discover multi-variety solutions. The process of defining  the cause and effect sometimes are biased, but by defining the other factors, it gives better  perspective. I classified the cause and effect based on the elements involved in the occured  problem, this can help to determine the ideal solution afterwards.     In the process of solving, there is no single solution that fits every problem, the complexity  sometimes can be done within a simple solution. However, in my case, within the defined  cause and effect elements, the same elements also offer ideal solutions.

Insight & Approach

Having the same perspective to visualize a particular idea is extremely substantial. Once it is  not accomplished, it is harder to determine the outcome. Visualization really supports  delivering the same idea to discuss by people from different backgrounds. Describing every  single aspect to undergo the solution that fits the problem brought the idea to another level  of understanding.    The most complicated aspect can be easily transformed into a simple narrative to help my  group understand the case and this will be my best method to fire up any idea streaming to  the group.
