Design Tool: VISUALIZATION

Challenge & Selection

The tool I have decided to choose is Visualization, Visual Thinking as I prefer to call it.  I consider this tool can be helpful to count on the whole picture of the problem I am working on, in  the initial steps of the design thinking process. With it, I can support my effort to identify in the most  accurate basis, the pain point I intend to solve.

Visualization helps me to make the people pay attention to what is going on (What is?) by examining  what already exists. Visual thinking as a tool, guides my group, organizes it, leads the people to  discover the outcome desired.

As the first approach to the innovation process, this tool unlocks my thinking, unleashes creativity as  well as improves the way I communicate my ideas to the people I work with.

By using visual elements like charts and graphs, I provide an accessible way to see and understand  trends, outliers, and patterns in data and discover possibilities I have not seen yet.

Application

In my company, I am the manager of an area called Responsible Care. I usually work together with  my team, so this tool allows me to approach, identify, organize and communicate more effectively  the ideas within the group. The tool represents information visually, so it can be learned quickly and  easily.

I find it helpful to focus on the idea and guide my team members to the outcome I am looking for. By  this tool, I can communicate effectively the situation, and I challenge the people to explore the  problem, think possible scenarios and present prospect solutions for the outcome I am trying to  reach.

As I said above, I use charts and graphs, I can make a development of my concept and make it  visible for the group, the abstract idea becomes visible for them because it is expressed more  clearly.

Insight & Approach

With the knowledge I have gained throughout this course, I have imagined a better way of working  with my group, co-working all together to achieve more effectively the solution we are all looking for.

new ways of working with visualization, adding posts to my initial diagram with ideas and  suggestions which arise from the discussions between the team members, grouping the ideas  according to the different criteria as a second step, and then finally vote for those which look more  representative of the solution we are seeking.

I recognize that the value added to the group by being aligned in the same direction, considering first  all the different ideas presented by each of the members, can strengthen us as a team, organize  information in a better way and keep all focused to achieve the results.
