Problem Statement:

To identify a possible solution for understanding the problem among diverse group of people,I have  used the tool of Visualisation or Visual Thinking .

This technology can be used for goverment agencies who apply this technology to modernize the output  or for the delivery of the services provided by them for the citizens of their country i.e,U.S.

Project:

As I am using the tool of visualisation and also mentioned previously about the Straw Man ,same is  created from my end for solving the problem statement.

For creating the straw man,various existing materials can be used such as training matrials,operating  documents etc.

In case,documents are not available then meeting is conducted with few people who will be main point  of contact during the whole program .

As per David Gray's book,concept of front stage/back stage can be used from previous reasearch .

This concept helps internal service interact with customers and help them provide the service.

The template contains the a column on the left for Partners and Value

Chain Providers and a column on the right for Oversight Organizations, such as Congress, GAO,

labor unions, advocacy groups, and other entities.

I have used Visio to create the straw man with shapes and icons.For this program ,I will divide the  stakeholders into groups having 5-6 memebers each representing various areas of interest and  organizations.

Sticky notes will be distributed to each one of them and they will have to answer few questions such as

•  How can we change the graphic so that it is precise to the problem statement

•  Any key elements are missing from the graphic.Please mention if any.

•  Do you know the relationship between each entity?

20 mins is provided to each team to discuss the questions and about the graphic .They come with the  additional insights if any .

After the session ,I will create a group poster with all the data that I collected from the teams and also if  they provide with new information that I collected from the session .

I will create a new graphic as per the proposed changes by the groups if required .

Output:

The most important aspect that we learn from this program is that feedback helps us to improve the  graphic and helps to understand the problem and solve it in a better manner .

There is always a space for shared learning which is a important aspect in group activites such as  this.This program helps the memebers discuss about the their perspectives and also the root cause of  their problems.

Valuable aspect is discovered in this program i.e,visualisation which is the primary point for design  thinking activities.

Graphic that is created using the feedback helps as the reference tool for other projects.
