Example Reflection - Visualization

Challenge and selection

The first tool I used was the tool of visualization or visual thinking. To achieve a shared understanding of  a problem Among a various group’s of associators before attempting to identify and giving all possible  solutions for the problem. I often use this Approach with our groups who are working with me in  technology innovations to modernize their mission. I have used the technique of petty tyrant  visualization of a problem domain with a set of prompts for discussion to allow various groups of  associators to learn from each other to defining the boundaries, scope key elements, relationship  between elements and opportunities for improvement or solutions.

Application

I start the process by creating a petty tyrant of the problem. To create the petty tyrant, i will make from  any existing available material to understand the surrounding. The material can be operational, training  material, marketing materials. If materials are not available, i will conduct some interviews with two to  three associators.

If suits to the situation, I will borrow the concept to front/back dorm previous research and discussed in  Shelly's book, "the IIM" the front and back approach helps in reinforcement of notion the every service  has costumers with whom the service provider interacts. The templates I often start with, also has a  column on left to identify partners. The pelly tyrant is simple, using simple shapes and icons available in  the Internet. If the front and back doesn't work, i will create a different type of visual or another format.

For the activity I'll divide the associators in groups of 4-5 participants each representing a different  organization. Each group receives a poster size copy of the petty tyrant that they can write on directly. I  give them 2-3 questions to answer such as (1) what key element are missing from the graphic? (2) what  changes would you done to make a correct reflection for your graphics? (3) what key elements do you  have for problems? Then I have each group report with their answers. As each group report out I record  the common responses, then I create a revised graphic that incorporates their feedback and proposed  changes that they agreed to as a group.

Insight and approach

What i have learned from this exercise with various groups is that while the graphic that incorporates  their feedback is important for understanding their problem which they are working to solve. The  graphic gives the various groups of associators a focus for discussion that gives them chance to share  their perspective. They can also identify variables in the problems that helps them identify what they  don't know in what areas they need to obtain information to provide the values for the variables.

Since i discovered that the most valuable aspect is shared insights and learning. Next time i would use  the visualization activity as a starting point for a series of design thinking activities.
