Challenge & Selection :

Design thinking is about using the approach and techniques of  designers to solve an innovation problem. It can be applied to all  sectors of activity. In digital, for example, design thinking helps to set  up an innovative and relevant device for optimizing the user  experience. It can inform the graphics, the features or the employee  tone. Design thinking is based on visualization of concepts. This  enables a quick and shared understanding of ideas, promotes  stakeholder engagement and improves communication. To carry out a  design thinking approach, we advise you to equip yourself with tools  such as paperboards, tables, cards, post-its and erasers Design thinking  is based on visualization of concepts.

Visual thinking is a method of taking advantage of our ability to  visualize – through both our eyes and our imagination – to discover  ideas that would otherwise never see the light of day. Visual thinking  also makes it possible to develop ideas faster and more  intuitively. And finally, visual thinking makes it possible to share with  others in a way that those who immediately understand the ideas  presented.  Put another way: With a simple piece of paper and a pencil, you can  study, understand, communicate and solve almost any problem.

Application :

Let’s start with the process of visual thinking. To take full advantage  of visual thinking, it is important to understand how this process

works. Before you start thinking about the leftovers, you have to  analyze the initial situation. Be aware of the initial information. The  aim is to visualize all the information before making any  judgements. This is a preliminary analysis, necessary in order not to  get lost then and get away from the subject. You have to create the  basic scheme that will be fine-tuned through the steps. After this  observation of the situation and the elements. We must now identify  the elements to be studied further. All the information is important,  but some are more relevant depending on the objective to be  achieved. During this step, you must break down each item and place  it into the categories that you feel are most appropriate. It’s an  analysis and research phase. You have to define all the commonalities,  but also the differences to organize them well. Poor organisation can  make the task longer and result in a different end result from the  target. The last step is to share his diagram. The method of visual  thinking is much more productive in groups. The more participants  there are, the richer the thought will be. But be careful not to get  lost. Everyone has to give their ideas, to share them and see which  ones are the most relevant. All ideas have to be taken into  account. There is no one better than another but perhaps more relevant  in this case. There will also be similar ideas, which can come together  in one but deeper. Once all the ideas have been exchanged, choose the  most appropriate tools to best represent your ideas.

Insight & Approach

As visualizations become incorpo� rated in software that is designed  for collaborative, discussion-based decision processes, a possible  research direction would be to inform future visualizations with the  research that has been conducted around the use of sketchiness as a  communicative aid.

In the future, we are planning to apply some of these findings to the  design of novel information visualization systems. We believe that the  insights we gained from this study will help our systems to better  support the visual thinking process.
