[Challenge & Selection]

I used mind mapping in my internal work, and the "what is" part helped me to set up

personas to meet the needs more concretely. This was the first time I used it after

attending this session to find possible solutions to a problem. By using this approach, I

was able to summarize the ideas I collected and expand my hypothesis. In order to

create personas from the hypotheses for the problem, I was able to include things that

were previously omitted from the collection in the process of figuring out how they are

all connected and fulfill the requirements.

[Application]

This time, we conducted a project called "Creating a new experience for new

employees using IT technology".

We first selected 20 people to be interviewed. For each of the 20, we asked them about

their impressions of their assignments, their attendance, and their work.

We asked each of the 20 people what they thought of their assignments, their

attendance system, their tax management, and other complaints about their working

lives. As a result, we were able to collect a huge number of complaints and opinions

from each of them.

Since we had not been exposed to design thinking before, we started by organizing the

opinions. Of the three items we set as interview items, most people were dissatisfied

with their assignments, and there were no other complaints or notable impressions.

Therefore, we used a mind map in the process of compiling opinions about the

assignment. We divided the opinions into three categories: process, information from

the department, and others, and organized the connections between them. By

organizing the connections, we were able to find a wide range of information, from the

lack of information sharing to the difficulty of using the current platform.

Normally, we knew that we would have to proceed with design thinking from this point

on, but because of the limitations of the task we were given, we had to choose a

solution that could be realized by our current team using Python, and we had to create

a highly feasible web page using django.

[Insight & Approach]

I think the most important and valuable part of this process was that I was able to share

my opinions with the entire team by using mind maps. Until now, I had only worked on

things in the process of verifying hypotheses based on my findings, so I did not feel the

significance of collaborating with others until I had developed a hypothesis. If all I

wanted to do was to test a hypothesis, I could decide on a hypothesis more quickly by

myself, and I did not feel that the depth of my hypothesis was deepened at all by

collaborating with others.

However, by being aware of the design thinking format and working on it this time, I

was able to conduct interviews and gather and expand my opinions in an easily visible

form using mind maps, rather than just looking at the text. As a result, I feel that I was

able to understand more deeply than words what other members were interested in

and had opinions about.

As a result, we were able to find many approaches to problem solving. However, I feel

that in the actual business world, there is little that depends solely on my current

technical skills, and I would like to create more opportunities for practice in the future

by growing more from this experience. I would like to create more opportunities to

practice.
