Reflection On Visualisation

1. Challenge: Describe your challenge, including all relevant information.

I am in a corporate real estate IT relocation project management space.  Typically, when  companies need to relocate their offices, one of the workstream involves their IT setup in the  new office.  What is usually a challenge is gathering requirements on their wants vs needs and  balancing the requirement based on budget.  With different departments, the requirements differ  from one department to another.  The current challenge we have embarked for the company is  workspace digitisation.  This involves looking at the various departments and looking for ideas to  embark on a workspace digitisation space with the final outcome in company’s operations  optimisation.

2. Selection: In your own words, briefly describe the tool you selected (e.g., what it is and why

you selected it for your challenge -- including any appropriate video lecture references).

As a first step in getting user representatives from the various departments to kickstart the  thought process in digital workspace revamp,  I had decided visualisation would work wonders  as visualisation will give the stakeholders a better idea rather than words..      Visualisation will enable the users to have a framework in identifying what are the possibilities,  what are the boundaries, what are the issues that digitalisation will help resolve and what revamp

3. Application: Describe how you applied the tool you selected to your challenge (e.g., what

you did and how the tool was applied effectively or ineffectively).

The 1st step was a presentation of photos of companies that has done workspace digitalisation  based on what have they done and how they have done it.

The photos were arranged 1st from a common workspace level.  These would be shared facilities  that set the various departments to think the possibilities of them adopting the what other  companies successfully implemented.  Questions raised were what if we implemented, would  your department use, what issues would that solve.

The following slides then had photos that was the focal point for discussion on what he individual  departments from other companies had done for workplace digitalisation.

The visualisation tool of using photos of works done was effective as it gave the users a base to  discuss on the possibilities.  What less effective was when it came there should be individual  department focus groups instead of 1 big group as those not from other departments drifted out  of interest.

4. Insight: Describe the insight you gained from applying the tool you selected to your

challenge (e.g., how an insight affected your thinking about the challenge and about design  thinking more broadly).

As mentioned in Angela Myer’s video, the visualisation did help people understand what it was  the objective of digitalisation and help persuaded them of the worth of heading towards  workplace digitalisation.  It helped the users conceptualised the ideas put forth.

5. Approach: Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you

selected or a different one -- and the reason(s) why.

Visualisation allowed better discussion and understanding of concepts and issues and having  photos enhanced the thought process experience.  For projects that does
