Reflection – Mind Mapping      Challenge & Selection    Currently I have started build a startup technology company. This is a social impact  movement that focus on solving problem to reduce plastic waste. As initiation stage we  have a challenge to identify for all of our problem that need to be solve, also all our  opportunity and support system to make this plan successful. In the other hand, we need to  start make a product plan for our mobile application, define for MVP (Most Viable Product)  to decide which feature that should release as priority than others. At the same time we  start to make a proposal for investor to make an investment in our startup. I also in a task to  find for other organization, so we can start a partnership to support the movement make  more valuable.    I choose to use Mind Mapping for our tool to capture all possibility from current situation  and environment. In my opinion we are in the “connecting the dot” situation, when all of  the part of this issue and solving strategy must be connected. We realize to explore for our  plan so we can find our goals and execute it for three activities: product development,  partners acquisition and sell the idea to investor.      Application    First of all we start use mind mapping to define product roadmap for our mobile apps. We  have ten feature ideas that planned to build in mobile apps. After write it in mind mapping  format and discuss with all team member, we decide to start develop at least four features  in the beginning: transaction (people can sell they trash to another people that need it),  daily challenge, wallet and chat. Mind mapping tool also help us generate ideas for sub- function in all of four priority feature.    Second, we must start to build strategic partnership with organization that relates to  environment issue. At least strategic partnership can give us more space to acquire more  user for the next step and help us to publish our product with their communication channel.  Mind mapping approachment give us for two result: define all prospective partners and  strategy to invite them for this project. Mind mapping tool help us to identify partners in  broad of sector: government, private, community and student group. It also help us to  arrange the strategy for approachment, such as: invite them for meeting, visit the  exhibition, join the community event and participate as a speaker in environment public  discussions or conferences.    Third, we have a purpose to find investor for support our activity. In this initial stage, we  need seed funding to make our startup grow and start running the operation. Mind  mapping help us to determine which any part that can give high impact for presentation.  After do mind mapping for this task, we have structured effective presentation that  contained: elevator pitch, describe goals and missions, propose for investment based on  quantitative possibility and integrated reasoning from current condition. Since we only have

limited time to do presentation, mind mapping effectively guide us to only show the most  important parts in our pitch.

Insight    Mind mapping help us a bridge to make us can explore the current plan with what we can  get in the future. This tool very important, so we have a clear vision and connection  between the purpose. We can make a decision more better and effective. I think in mind  mapping also contain about visualization, so we can have design thinking approachment  from “big picture” which we can inspect from all part that have an impact to our plan and  realize about all risk and possibility. Mind mapping make more possible to give us risk  calculation in very beginning, so we can prepare for the action after identify all probability  that can happen.    Furthermore for teamwork activity, mind mapping is a good tool to build discussion more  interactive. This tool give all participant opportunity to give their ideas and can make  discussion very rich solution, since every participant have different background experience  and knowledge expertise. This is what design thinking promise with repertoire condition  that can make innovation more possible. Mind mapping facilitate discussion as a  brainstorming that can visualize all of our ideas. We prove that all design thinking  approachment: what is, what if, what wows and what works generate effectively with mind  mapping. As a personal experience, I very impressed with mind mapping and design thinking  impact for my life. This great mindset give big impact for my progress of work. The result  also very satisfy, because I can do deliver innovation for my business with innovative ways.      Approach  Reflecting my progress after take this course, make me more curious with result that can I  get if I use all of tool and approachment that taught in this design thinking course. If I have  opportunity in the future, I will start to use mind mapping not only for my team but also  with our partners or investor. I want to share this tool to many people, so they can use it as  design thinking tool to make them create innovation. Mind mapping tool already give us  best result for our activity, for the next this tool should we use when we have discussion for  another project.  I will do differently in next time to start use this tools with some  stakeholders from very beginning, technical development team / developers. So we can  have same understanding and goal alignment for our work.    For next, I would use storytelling and learning launch as my tool for design thinking activity.  I want to see how far innovation impact and result if I combine those tools for our project in  the next stage. I choose those tools for two reasons: first, storytelling can give more  personal emotions when I use it in presentation. As we know in marketing, sometimes  people buy what we sell not based on what they want but based on emotions from their  personal life experience. Second, learning launch will give us opportunity to prove our  hypothesis in product development area. We can launch our prototype as piloting project in  small area. So we can identify what success or failure factors and do quick adaptation to

define what works in real market situation. This learning result can improve our product  before we release it massively and ensure we only deliver the best product after fix all  finding issue in learning launch.
