Design Thinking for Innovation

Reflection

Final Assignment: Visualization

Challenge and Selection:

I am currently pursuing my final year in BBA. So, we had a lot of group projects in these two years. The  most challenging one that I faced was ‘design thinking project’. In that as a group our job was to find a  solution for a faulty product (in design) that we could see in our day to day life. We did find one design  and it is ‘shoe rack’. Being a hosteller, my room had a lot of spaces and we didn’t have a shoe rack itself.  So, my group just decided to take this as a product that we could design it and show to our professor  and colleagues.

As a group we were discussing how to confront this idea and show to my peers. Well, there we got an  idea to use one of the design tools which is ‘visualization’. We took this because only by showing our  idea into model or more like prototype will give best reviews.

Application:

We applied this visualization technique by creating a prototype for a shoe rack which saves the  maximum space in a hostel room. We made this prototype using cardboard and used paints to decorate  for good appearance. We used a good technique called ‘SMART’ (Specific Measurable Achievable  Relevant Time bound) goal to achieve this project successfully.  Using visualization, as a design thinking  tool was extremely effective for me.

After finishing the prototype, me and my team was ready to answer all questions from our guests while  presenting our product design. The reason behind being effective was I received few feedbacks from my  guest as well as fellow peers which eventually helped me in a better manner. We quite did a mind  mapping also to generate innovative ideas while making the prototype.

Insight and Approach:

I learnt many things by doing this exercise and it's not only about design thinking. It has team effort and  discipline goals to achieve this project successful. This feedbacks which I received is more important  because understanding the problem from people side is important. I learned many key entities while  preparing this prototype. It really had a good impact in front of guests while presenting my product and  explaining it. Even I learnt many hardships while doing that prototype, it's really not easy to make it.  So,  I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the generate innovative ideas and learning it, if I get  another chance to design a product, I would use the visualization activity as a main point for a series of  design thinking activities. Feedbacks can be taken as a reference tool throughout the whole project.
