Design Thinking for innovation

Tool Applied : VISUALIZATION

challenge and Section

It’s almost impossible to tell if people are engaged or involved  with what you are presenting, that’s why i  consider visualization one of the most interesting concepts to put people in . In addition to that, visualisation  is really important for the process of design thinking, it is a way of unlocking a different part of our brain.  Since I adore programming , i found an interesting way to present my ideas , using the well know programing  languages, and espacially python where we found a library called Manim , which makes me able to animate  and illustrate pretty clear any idea i have in mind , and present it  in an interesting way to others .

Application

I start by making sure i understand the idea i want to present, and make even more sure that i am not going  to execute it in a linear way , when there is an easier way to do it.

After that , i write down all the ideas to be included in the animation (so i won’t get lost) , and start creating  the animation !

The first scene, is usualy a simple quote to illustrate the idea , which will be discussed, after that , i start  creating all the animations, I will create a different type of visual, either based on a high-level process flow  with swim lanes for different stakeholders, or another format.

For the activity, (while the animation is playing) i start asking question, it’s always import to make the  audience participate in the presentation, some of those  questions  :

1) What key elements are missing from the graphic?

2) What would you change about the graphic to make it more accurately reflect your problem space?

3) What key insights do you have about the relationships between the entities in your problem space?

I try to collect informations from the body language of the audience, I take the feedback and then recreate  the animation again , with respect to the valid points on their feedback.

Insight & Approach

What i learned from the session, The graphic gives the diverse group of stakeholders a point for discussion  that allows sharing their perspectives and developing insights into potential root causes of their problems,  it also gives time for reflection to the audience, and you make sure that they understood the message the  way you want it to be.I will always use the visualization activity as a starting point for a series of design  thinking .
