Reflection – Learning Launch

Challenge

If there is something that would help the current issue of industries struggling to achieve a  Carbon Green status by making the processes easier, that will help to create a brighter future for  our future generations. That being said, this transformation of industries towards being carbon  green is necessary for our mother earth to sustain her balance. The abrupt changes in climatic  conditions that has maybe even started affecting the lives of animals and birds due to us humans  has raised the consciousness in us to act in order to make lives better for future generations. Until  now this task of achieving a Carbon Green status has not been easy as it sounds.

Selection

Being a student and still learning, the idea of Learning Launch was not known to me until I  discovered about the same through this course that allowed me to learn so much. I believe that  Learning Launch can help the industries help to achieve a Carbon Green status. After all a  structured sequence of steps towards the right direction helps to make the processes adhering  towards achievement efficient. This approach towards Learning Launch if applied can also help  industries keep a track of their Carbon Green status thus contributing towards the environment.  After all what is taken should be returned in some way or the other and that I believe is the law  of Universe.

Application

Since I don’t have any prior experience using Learning Launch, I would like to put forward few  points on how I think Learning Launch can help based on my understandings. A Hypothesis that  points out on how to make processes in an industry efficient (Just In Time helps to minimize  wastage), or how to reduce the pollution caused by power source for automated processes, or  what can be a less harmful alternative for raw materials used for converting into finished product  and so on. Next sampling is done. Population for taking samples can be obtained from  employees within the industry or from industries that have already attained the Carbon Green  status. Make sure that the sample is split into teams that are small and diverse giving each team a  freedom to think different (Group Think). This gives us a picture about where the industry stands  and some key suggestions towards achieving the goal from their side will help us to look into  some of the points that may have overlooked upon. Do remember that Quantity doesn’t matter in  a situation where Quality exists. Next process would be to test out the process that have been  modified based on the feedback received. After a period of 3 months or so, repeat the hypothesis  and feedback process and hence try to improve the Carbon Green status. Since the 3 month  experiments are to be made fast and cheap (according to what Learning Launch is), this does not  affect the ongoing productivity of the industry in a major way.

Insight

Being a student at a learning stage, I always thought that application of processes in Learning  Launch was confined only to a particular application – such as hypothesis being limited to  research purposes and so on. But not only did I learn that this approach can be used in many  problems, it also gave me a few instances where Learning Launch can be applied. This course  not only made me see this tool in a new way, but I believe this approach will help me in many  ways as I step into an industry.

Approach

All the tools described in this course will surely help me in one way or the other as I step into an  industry. That being said, I really need to further learn if different tools can be applied to a same  problem. For this case if needed to look into another tool, I would choose Mind Mapping. By  having a group of people with different knowledge, skills and attitude will help to look into  unknown perspectives and dive deep into different possibilities that may not be achieved through  Learning Launch. However in the end there maybe advantages and disadvantages to various  tools and selection of each tool may depend on the resources available to make use of when  needed to.
