Reflection

Bryan Sanchez

Challenge, Analysis and Selection

The challenge I have chosen to create this reflection is a personal problem, which  consists of the following: Due to the sanitary and economic crisis generated by the  covid-19, me and my family have had to move to a municipality called San  Sebastian de Mariquita, located in the department of Tolima in Colombia; This year  I have been admitted to the National Ankara University, in Manizales campus,  and in turn to the Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering, in Honda campus

This caused me to study two careers at the same time, and due to the action of the  government to return to normality, it has generated a problem to move to one of  the two cities to continue my studies in person, or as a second option to move to  the city of Bogota to continue my educational process in that city.

The factors that are strongly connected to the problem are: The distance between  both universities, Low amount of economic resources for the support in any of the  two cities, The short time to return to receive face-to-face classes.

The problem has several aspects to observe, both positive and negative of each  option mentioned above.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages of the Manizales option:

- It would not require a major relocation.

- It is a more economical city

- It has great housing offers for students

- Manizales is a safe and quiet city

Disadvantages of the Manizales option:

- Need to travel every weekend to receive classes in Honda (approximately 4 hours  of travel time)

- It is a new city where everything is unknown

- It does not have good job opportunities for students

Advantages of the Bogotá option:

- It does not require travel to another city to attend classes at both universities.

- It is a city that I know, and I know how it works

- It has good job opportunities for students

- I have family currently living in that city, who can support me.

Disadvantages of the Bogotá option:

- Despite having ample opportunities for student housing, they can be expensive.

-It is a busy and unsafe city.

- Requires a large relocation

Selection

Thanks to the knowledge acquired throughout the Design Thinking course, I have  found the possibility of a solution through the Learning launch tool, since it allows  me to see the different perspectives of both options firsthand, without influencing  the educational process in a significant way.

The Learning launch tool allows me to see every aspect of each option  respectively, creating an action plan, thus facilitating the decision-making process  on my part. The Learning Launch tool allows the entrepreneur, entrepreneur or  manager to act on situations through experimentation and is the best way to decide  which option is best for me.

Insight

By raising this idea in the challenge in question, the points from which the problem  can be seen were applied, not only from the educational point of view, but from  economic, family, work and other perspectives related to the human being, the  application of this idea opened the panorama to show all the opportunities and the  different factors that surround and influence the problem.

The idea of learning through experimentation is applied to this problem generates  an action plan based on 3 main factors to decide following an action plan which is:

1) Attend Manizales for the first half of the second semester of the year 2021.

2) Travel to Bogota in the vacation time of the semester mentioned above to see  the possibilities of housing and support.

3) To make a comparison of what was the best experience and the option with  which I feel more secure.

The 3 factors to generate a decision are:

1) Employability

2) Affordable or moderate housing

3) Low food and transportation costs

Approach

Following the same path of the Learning launch, the possibilities of change are  almost infinite, since it is based on experimentation and each situation is presented  in a different and unique way, so it is a versatile tool that allows you to generate  different action plans, this quickly and effectively, however it is a double-edged  sword, since being a tool that allows you to experiment generates a high possibility  of failure, due to the same risk that the tool generates, the next time I would use a  tool such as visualization or mind mapping, since it allows to see in a more graphic  way the possible results.
