Learning Launch

Challenges

By the end of the course I learned a lot about what is design thinking, that it is not just about  the tools and the process. As currently being a student taking up Electronics Engineering my  challenge now is how and where to apply the design thinking specially its tools to real  situations. Because according to Ali, that the process or everything we’ve learned  here on design thinking for innovation is easy to say and understand but it is not easy to apply.  Being a 5th year college student we are now taking up the “Engineering Design Process” or what  we called our “Thesis” which comes up to another challenge on how do I apply properly the  steps or process on the design thinking tools I will be using and how do I incorporate or  integrate it to the engineering design process, which I believe will give a great outcome because  I know that design thinking makes

Selection

I choose the Learning Launch Tool and I knew that it is the testing of the ideas or experiment in  the real market place. I selected this design tool because I know that this will help me on my  challenges as being a student and incorporating this tool to our engineering design process.  This tool will help us know whether our prototype or our test does have this confirming data or  otherwise disconfirming data. Both the engineering process and design thinking are both in  terms of designing but the good thing in design thinking is the purpose of the learning launch  tool; to get the truth according to Professor Ed Hesse.

Application

Currently we are now on the process of the learning launch. I used learning launch tool on our  engineering design process because here we tend to find customers or clients, this design tool  helps us to identify what are our customer, wherein it is a very important on stepping in on the  customer place for you will be able to identify what are the needs and can gather big amount of  data which answers the needed solutions to the problem. As of now we are working as 4  members in the group and I know that being in a small diverse team will keep our insights and  observations and cognitive blindness different, thus as we collaborate and share those ideas it  will constitute to some big observations leading to good key assumptions. Lots of observations  and experiments are done as we move through the process, thus applying what did professor  Ed Hesse said that observation is a key way to learn. At first we found out that without applying  properly the process of the learning launch lead us to a waste of time gathering data. But as we  follow correctly the process which is to set minimum number of percentage of people we talk  to because the important thing we need is the big enough sample of data and need right quality  of it. As of now we haven’t come out yet on whether to confirm out data and disconfirm it

because were still on the process of it. At the end of the day we hope to have good feedback  and outcome.

Insight

By using the learning launch tool, my group was able to use its time more efficient on gathering  data. As a student we were able to apply the tool on engineering design process which is the  challenge I specified before. And as we go this tool helps us to make our key assumptions more  manageable as we focus on value creation, execution, defensibility and scalability. By this we  can prioritize our key assumptions and do the test someday to either confirm or disconfirm our  data. By applying this tool we better understand what are the effects of this tool for example is  that it helps us to meet the needs of our idea and for it to be better than those current  alternatives. As we move forward we don’t fear failure because failing is learning, it is a part of  the process. Thus we always seek for opportunity and be ready, prepared and capable of  handling situation in this unstable environment.

Approach

We have learned that learning launch is one effective way to be used on engineering design  process. I know that this tool will also help on our other courses we are taking up today, and  also on our career or start-ups. Well Design thinking is composed of tools and process;  therefore I think that using the other tools and combining them will make us better design  thinkers. Because each tool has its different effect and help on the problems we are solving. As  an example the visualization which is very efficient because it helps you and your customers  understand each other easily. Design thinking tools will help us in dealing with unstable  situations. Thus I commend to use different design thinking tools or use it together to have  solutions to our problems or satisfy the needs of our customers.
