Challenge: I belong to large and complex organization, so sometimes it is difficult to innovate, to make  changes, to propose new things that will be accepted. Nevertheless it is and organization that is always  challenging and encouraging their people to innovate, to change things, to do our business in a different  way, this is why this course was so important for me, to count with different tools that will allow me to  approach innovation successfully.

Selection: In this opportunity I have chosen the visualization tool, this tool is somewhat new for me  considering that in my organization we are more used to read a lot of reports, blogs, etc. or to  constantly do different meetings to approach different subjects. Therefore, I found the visualization tool  interesting as simple process that we all as kids use to understand different things. Putting graphically  what you are thinking will allow you to use a different parts of your brain and will challenge you to put  your thoughts in to paper as a drawing, sketching, diagraming, pictures, etc. to transmit  your idea and  letting people to understand your idea in a simpler way, being in the same page with your audience.

Application: I haven´t used this tool so much, but thinking of an example it came to my mind when I was in a  meeting and we were discussing a subject with the counterpart and at some point it seemed that everyone in  the meeting was in a different page and was understanding the problem in a different way, so I brought in a  board and started to explain what the problem looked in my mind, writing down different numbers and  relevant information, and starting from there the conversation took another course, where we all were  understanding and discussing the same thing.

Insight: As I said, I didn’t use this tool so much but reflecting on that example I provided and adding the  information and knowledge gained in this course, I clearly see the advantages of using this tool more often,  and how since it is something we rarely do in my organization can be a game changing strategy to approach  innovation with better results.

Approach: What I would do different next time is to be prepared, because in my example it was something  improvised, something that happened in the moment, so I think that if I´m prepared for a different type of  meeting applying this tool and planning it ahead it can be really successful.
