Reflection – mind mapping

Challenge and selection

The first tool I used was the tool of mind mapping, to achieve a shared understanding of a

problem space among a diverse group of stakeholders before attempting to identify and

define possible solutions to the problem. I use this approach to know more about my

product or my design. So, later on when I present my design, I truly know the elements the

target market, the tools, the plus and minus, and everything. Mind mapping is one of the

most powerful tools in the design thinker's toolbox. It's used to look for patterns, it's used to

look for insights, that lead to more creative solution to my challenge. Mind mapping is

looking for patterns and insights in a large quantity of data you collected during your

exploration of what is the current reality. The goal is to establish criteria for the what-if idea

generation phase. Which comes next. This phase is pivotal in the design thinking process.

Mind mapping provides a way from what is to what if.

Application

I apply this just right how it should be. First I take a look at the current reality. I found out

and of course analyzing the what is, what if, what wows, what works. Also the mix and

match about my idea and the current needs In reality keep working. I also apply the mind

set of think, make, break, and repeat. Mind mapping is an engaging alternative to that giant

report we might otherwise have written to sum up and communicate in prose and charts

and spreadsheets. All that your team uncovered. And we have to hope that somebody read

the giant report that we generated. Mind mapping is more intuitive. It's more creative. It's

more visual, and it's more engaging.

After done with analyzing, I started to develop my ideas, fix or add things that previously not

good yet, so my ideas can be more realistic and match with everybody needs, or at least

with my segmented customer needs. After all, these process of course will take time and

cause a pros and cons with all the team. And last, I will present the final idea to the

stakeholders, we can categorize the stakeholder into some groups, and we can do kind of

interview, the simple one to help them giving us feedback that can improve the idea.

Insight and approach

What I gain, of course feedbacks. It really helps a lot for the idea improvement. That

feedbacks and also the mind mapping process work really efficient and prove to be

affective. This also effected how I think, and how I make my design. It helps looking more

slightly to detail, and somehow looking from different perspective.

And since I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning,

next time I would use the mind mapping activity as a starting point for a series of design

thinking activities. Then the revising the ideas will be easier.
