Example Reflection- Visualization

Challenge: I needed to design and fabricate chip(shaving) guards or chip containment  arrangement for manufacturing machinery in kirloskar brothers limited which is a pump  manufacturing company. For that I needed to consider different aspects for example, worker’s  opinion, safety, operator’s point of view, cleaning person’s opinion, type of job, etc.

Selection: The first tool I was used for problem is visualization technique to achieve a shared  understanding of a problem space among a diverse group of employees and worker of a  manufacturing company before attempting and define possible solution to the problem.

Application:

As I had to design a chip guard, creativity, planning is required therefore I started collecting  various information which could help. Visualization is a core component of the way that we  communicate, whether we're aware of it or not. When we're dealing with very complex  problems, we're enacting a different kind of problem solving that has to bring in more than just  logic. Visualization is really important for the process of Design Thinking because it's actually  a way of unlocking a different part of our brain. It allows us to think in a non-verbal way and  access parts of our brain, our creativity. Most design thinkers call visualization as “the mother  of all design tools”, because they are used in every stage of the design thinking process. So  after collecting information from workers, operators, cleaning person, I got idea about the  initial model. When you get to concept development, Visualization becomes incredibly useful.  Your brain is creating pictures of something that doesn't yet exist. It's creating pictures of  something that will soon be. As we move forward into prototyping, we get much more detailed  in the way that we start to visualize. Then we create very complex diagrams or maps of how we  think the customer experience is going to work ideally. Pictures and images enable us to not  only help people understand what it is we're trying to do but to help persuade them in the  worthiness of that particular idea or the strength of that concept. After that I created a model on  3d modelling software. And then finalized the model.

Insight:

It's really really important to be able to understand the way that you communicate with people.  The primary tools for thinking visually are really just mastering some basic elements of  imagining people, spaces, situations and actions or movements.

Approach:

As I see that most of the problem can be solved by the visualization tool that why next time I  would use visualization tool as a design thinking technique to solve problems. This can be a  little intimidating at first for some. I think that people will find that once they start getting in  the habit of doing that, you quickly see how the rest of the room responds to you when you get  up and you start drawing.
