Example Reflection - Visualization

Challenge:

For one of the courses that I had studied, I was to write a short story and the problem was that I  have no experience whatsoever. All I had were vague ideas with no proper construction of sentences  that have no coherence.

Selection:

I chose the tool ‘visualization.’ I used this design thinking tool because I thought that it will give a  more clearer picture as opposed to the vague ideas.

Application:

By constructing a mind maps and diagrams that co-related with one after the other, the ideas  become more clearer on paper rather than the vague one-line sentences I had written down. It gave  more depth as well as an orderly format to my ideas.

Insight:

I never realized I used visualization approach for this particular challenge because to an extent, this  tool is popularly used to create a sense of clarity to things that cannot be well expressed through  words. It is also amazing that visualization is applied in something simple like my short story  assignment – that we can apply design thinking tools to everyday life to make it simple for us. By  applying this tool,  I was able to work out on the gaps within the story  and make the idea seem  more logical.

Approach:

Since the realization that something so simple can be used to solve even the most major problems,  astounded me - it prods me to make more use of these tools in more practical situations as well.
