Mind mapping

Challenge:

The challenge I was taken to complete the task  and for the prototyping use because it plays  main role in innovation.Mindmapping is a  graphical technique for imagining connections  between various pieces of information or  ideas. Each fact or idea is written down.By  curves or lines to its minor or major (previous  or following) fact or idea, thus building a web  of relationships. Mind mapping is utilized in  brainstorming, project planning, problem- solving, and note-taking. As is the case with  other mapping methods, the intention behind  brain mapping too is to capture attention and  to gain and frame information to enable the  sharing of concepts and ideas.To get started  with mind-mapping, the participant just has to  write a key phrase or word in the middle of  the page. Then, he must write anything else

that comes to his mind on the very same page.  After that, he must try to make connections as  mentioned in the previous paragraph.

Application:

The majority of industries have an orthodoxy –  unspoken but deeply-held beliefs that  everyone stands by for getting things done.  Sadly, they fail to realize that by questioning  assumptions at every step of service or  product development, they can enable the  birth of fresh possibilities and ideas.

Here is one suggestionto go about questioning  assumptions: The participants should start by  settling on the framework for the creative  challenge. After this, they should produce 20  to 30 assumptions (irrespective of whether  they are true or false). The next step is to  select several assumptions from the many

generated, and utilize them as idea triggers  and thought starters to engender fresh ideas.

Insight and approach:

Research has demonstrated that best practices  in innovation planning use a strategic  approach. The traditional Project and Portfolio  Management (PPM) approach is bottom-up- rolling up existing projects to see the status  and how they stack up. This rearranges what’s  already in process regardless of alignment  with strategic objectives. The better approach  is the top-down strategic approach-first focus  on the business strategies and objectives, and  use these to drive portfolio, project and  investment decisions. This approach aligns  innovation and new product development  plans with the business strategic objectives.  Strategy is needed before execution. Following  the traditional approach may improve  execution. But the results won’t produce value

or support the business objectives. Relevant  innovation and new product development  performance metrics must be established that  align with the plan.
