Mind Mapping - Reflection

Challenge & Selection

I work within an organization that is looking for new ideas and to improve our digital presence within the market and our community. Our top management has suggested that we use COVID-19 as an opportunity for us to reach those KPIs. a group of seven people whose aim is to figure out what the consumer wants and needs during the pandemic, and how to come up with the best idea to execute in the next 60 days. My colleagues and I had to come up with suggestions for our digital team to incorporate because of COVID - 19. in order to increase covid's visibility and improve our relationship with our customers using our digital platforms and enhancing the customer experience as well. As a result, a mind mapping tool is an excellent tool for increasing creativity and productivity because it allows us to generate more ideas, recognize relationships between various data and knowledge, and improve our cognition and attention.

Application

My teammates and I simply began the project by using the design thinking technique we had chosen (mind mapping) discussing the project scope and the issues in detail, listing the ideas on the map. We started as 10 minutes individually, then we share our outcomes with the whole group. At first, it was intimidating working with several different people using the tool was great because we implemented it as a whole team.

But, after spending too much time exploring and considering the contents of my first mind map, I felt anxious on the days that followed. I began to feel as if I had run out of ideas and thoughts and this made me think outside of the box even more. To improve the method, even more, one of my colleagues suggested adding keywords. Furthermore, once we were satisfied with what we had, we began to examine the ideas and improve the ones that suit them best.

Insight & Approach What I have learned is that Mind maps can be produced in a variety of ways. I’ve always heard the phrase "two heads are better than one." It helped a lot working with a variety of people from different backgrounds to use this tool. It allowed us to think beyond what we are used to. In addition, it helped us to see and solve problems to see the big picture at the same time. Then, as required, you can add, rearrange, delete, or edit the bits. Everyone has their own way of solving problems, and when different minds work together, they can sometimes come up with ideas that neither person would have thought of on their own.

In the end, the ideas we came up with, were presented to the top management. We highlighted why each ( chosen ) idea is fitting to our situation.
