Brainstorming Project - Learning Launch

Challenge    I always believed that to make the world a better place, we need many good ideas. However, good ideas  did not come from just one person, but it comes from many people. Moreover, good ideas never come  from a first idea, but it comes from thinking many times. So, my challenge was creating the thinking  process that many people can think together and repeat it again and again to find a great idea. I was  studying design thinking tools that can help me. I come up with the vital process from Dr. Edward De  Bono called 'parallel thinking process' and 'six thinking hats technique.' The parallel process can help  many stakeholders thinking together without conflict, and six hats help everyone move forward step by  step in an effective way. My assumption is if we can apply a parallel process and six thinking hats with  our everyday life, the result not just help us find the final solution with many stakeholders. It also created  a new way of training our thinking system (for example, creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving)  because the best way to be good at something is to create a habit on it, like a muscle, you have to practice  it every day.    Selection    To make sure that my assumption is correct, I have to test the process immediately. I selected a learning  launch tool to make quickly experiment for testing my idea.    Application    At the beginning of my learning launch, I focused on creating a big picture of the project. I start by  researching useful information for my project before designed a structure of thinking process. I adapt key  learning from 'parallel thinking' and 'six thinking hats technique' to develop simple workflow calls 'one  mission a day.' For more explanation, 'One mission a day' is a simple process of collaboration. Everyone  just focused on the same mission that is going to update every day. The daily mission will bring everyone  to understand the problem, the potential of ideas, and the final decision together. After that, I make sure  that the process works with many stakeholders by finding volunteers with different backgrounds. (my first  volunteer team has 14 members with different jobs, such as sound engineering, designer, doctor, engineer,  small business owner, cook, financial analyst) All volunteers were started by learning about 'parallel  thinking' and 'six thinking hats' through mini-workshop. Because we have no budget, we use Facebook  group as the tools to collaborate. Our first problem comes from a real case. Some startup has to design  illustrations for the key message but have no idea about it. So, our first mission is design illustration for  key value message for the startup company. We were following the process step by step. Many ideas was  explored. Everyone be able to learn from each other before moving to the next step. Everyone has a  chance to share their opinion with easy and no conflict. The final solution comes from everyone with an  agreement. And the most important, with 'one mission a day' making it easy to create high engage every  day.    Insight    By applying the learning launch tool, I able to understand the potential of the assumptions quickly. I can  learn from experience with confidence, what is good, what is bad. Moreover, I can use this process with  my team as a basic instant step that helps the team and me developing more experiments with easier,  agile, and more potential.

Approach  Learning launch tool helps me learn a lot about my idea and explore many useful things. I found many  unexpected benefits results that I never thought, for example, I found that who have which talent on  which one by seeing a performance on each step. (for example, I know who have high performance on  idea stage) In the future launch, I going to focus on the process that helps people find talent in themselves  to allow everyone to know their potential for supporting them in the future.
