Reflection-Mind Mapping

+Challenges & Selection

Before I had learned Design Innovation course, I faced a problem of customer satisfaction  concerning with the bad smell like the toilet used, always happened in afternoon in my workplace. I  picked this problem to solve by asking the question how can I remove this smell out of my  workplace. There are many various methods to solve this problem. Mind Mapping is the process that  I pick. Mind Mapping is a graphical way like brain to represent ideas and concept. It is easily to check  vision and structuring information, helping to analyze, recall and apply the new idea.

+Application & Insight

I start the process by making Napkin Pitch; the first one, the Big Idea is the method to reduce the  smell within my workplace. The second one, Benefit/need is focus on satisfaction of my colleague  and our customer. The third one, Execution is finding something, easily find in local and there are  cheap price to reduce the smell. After I found from research and text book, there were 3 testers;  Charcoal, Mothball and the waste of coffee, to reduce the smell. I make a small test within 3 days for  each. All of them can reduce the smell. The best one is charcoal. Another one is mothball (expensive)  and the waste of coffee. The important thing is my workplace is located near a coffee shop, the  coffee workers always change the cash to smaller one with us to use in their operation. On the other  hand, the waste of coffee is the garbage of them, coffee workers throw away everyday. They are  willing to give the waste of coffee to us. In summary, I picked the waste of coffee to reduce the smell  with low budget because it is free.

+Approach

After the test has begun, I am testing the period how long the waste of coffee can absorb the bad  smell. It is very interesting to continue research more to create some deodorized product from the  waste of coffee because there are many coffee shop in my local and there are the huge waste of  coffee also. Is the next phase appropriate with Visualization process, right?
