Reflection- Visualization

Challenge

I have completed my Bachelor of Technology degree in Mechanical engineering  recently and during the final semester we had to submit a major project. I got  an idea for the project but the main challenge was to convince everyone on  that idea. When you are working with a group it is very important that each  and every member should be agreed on the same thing then only you can  perform a group task perfectly. I had to convince everyone on that idea and  also assign them their part. Everyone had their own ideas, I listen to each of  them they were good but not up to mark so I decided we will go with my idea  and now the challenge was to convince everyone.

Selection

It was very important to put the images of idea that was in my mind in front of  them so I selected visualization tool. Visualization is something we use  everywhere, whether we are aware of it or not, it allows us to think in a  nonverbal way. It’s basically anything that takes us beyond just using word or  language alone. It’s very easy to create a simple diagram, and most anyone can  draw a stick figure, an arrow, a circle, a square. Putting down your ideas on  paper by using some figures or diagrams will allow you to achieve a sense of  agreement and consensus with people which is your main purpose in order to  convince someone.

Application

First I tried to tell them my idea verbally but they raised question that why  should we go with your idea and not ours. Then I took a pen and paper and  first I draw a process map using lines, squares, rectangles and circles, it makes  them visualize how we will go with the process and what we are going to  proceed.

And I also created the image of our final product using some designing  software and I showed to them, when they saw the image of final product in  front of them then they started being convinced with my idea.

So what I basically did was I tried to present the visual image of idea that was  in my mind in front of them in forms of pictures.

Insight and approach

By applying the visualization tool, I convinced my team mates to go with my  ideas and also the creative part of my brain becomes more active. Now I will  use visualization tool as well as other design tool in every challenge of my life  because it makes the work agile and the probabilities of succeeding in work  will increase. This tool helped me to connect my ideas with them more  properly and accurately.

I am thinking of starting my business in future so I will say that visualization  tool as well as other design thinking tool are going to help me a lot and will  make things easier for me. It will help me to present my ideas in front of  investors, partners, clients and everyone who are going to be the important  part of my business, not only that, it will also help me to become more and  more creative and choosing the best ideas out of all ideas.
