Reflection – Mind Mapping

Challenge   I am product design student, and as learning process our curriculum includes various  challenges that we need to look into and go through a design process to solve that challenge.  One of those challenge was to look into the problems faced at homes, and select one problem  to which apply the design thinking process and give an appropriate solution for that

Selection   Mind Mapping is a very useful technique to draw relevant patterns from the data and  information collected. Its really helps and it has not particular format, its about how our mind  maps it. It is also a technique that is used after What is and before What if for better analysis  and synthesis of data collected before going into ideation phase.

Application   The challenge stated above was solved using double diamond process starting with the phase  of Discovery where the problems faced at household were observed listed and among them  one problem was shortlisted for further process and solution. The problem was generalised as  the problems faced by the nondurability of clips at houses, after shortlisting some research  was done and since mind mapping was not really cleared it was applied at the very first stage  t map the ideas rather the information, but after the course it is realised how impactful mind  mapping can be and hence I would like to solve the same problem once again using the mind  mapping tool between the what is and what if question and hence I did it, I went back to my  research I had for the what is question and tried mind mapping for drawing patterns from the  data for better analysis and this gave me a really better clarity of the information itself

Insight  And yes ! the worked wonders , just going back to the same information that has been  collected and analysing then using the mind mapping tool gave me so much better ideas and  opportunity to work with in the what if stage for the same issue and information that I had  solved before but didn’t had these ideas otherwise without the mind mapping tool

Approach   I really learned a lot about different tools that can be used throughout the design thinking  process from data generation to idea experimentation, I would like to use this way of mind  mapping that I learned in my future challenges and would also like to combine this with  storytelling, visualization and learning launch because these are the other tools that really  inspired me to work with.
