Reflection – Visualization

Introduction

The tool I'd use is visualization. it's useful when dealing with extremely  complex problems that necessitate a common understanding among all  members of the community involved in the decision-making process. So, in  order to build a consensus-based working environment, we must put all  members together under one roof, which is only possible if we ensure that  everyone understands the issue in the same way. In order to see different  scenarios that we need to investigate in order to achieve a better outcome, we  must ensure that we use the scenario to its full potential.

Challenges & Selection

In one of our university project, I used this strategy with my peers. We come  from various backgrounds and specialize in various fields. When we have to  work together to complete a project that requires diversity (diversity in terms of  various domains of courses such as marketing, finance, operations, and HR, for  example), it becomes more difficult to reach a consensus.

I used the flow chart visualization method to visualize the problem domain that  each of us is dealing with. Since an individual with a finance specialization can  run into issues with operations and so on. This can be made easier by using a  flow chart and a collection of discussion questions or prompts to enable a  diverse community of stakeholders to learn from one another in the process of  defining the scope, boundaries, key elements, and relationships between  elements to consider when recognizing pain points and opportunities for  changes or solutions.

Application

I begin by explaining the background to each team member and then  highlighting the main issues that we want to address. The process began with  each domain specialist highlighting the process from their perspective, resulting  in a total of about 5 domain specialists. They would illustrate the process using  the flow map, and then each domain specialist would highlight their problems  that they couldn't either fix or understand. Finally, we'd try to assemble the  diagram, with the problems and issues organized on a separate flow diagram.  This procedure would aid in the clarification of each domain specialist's  thoughts on the other domain.

1. Domain experts in five categories  2. Examine their mechanism in detail.  3. Examining other domain-related work  4. Create a flow chart for their own method as well as the processes in other       domains.  5. Draw attention to issues and problems in other domains.  6. Finally, all of the flow charts will be compiled, and a flow diagram will be     created to assist each individual in having the solution in one figure.

Insights and Approach

While the process diagram, particularly the final flow diagram, which  incorporates the domain specialist's feedback is important for reinforcing their  understanding of the problem they are working to solve, the more valuable  aspect of the activity is the shared insights and shared learning that occurs while  they are working. This process provided a focal point for the various domain  group heads to explore a shared subject and share their thoughts and  perspectives.
