Visualization reflection

Challenge & Selection

I used visualization all of the time. I'm a Product Designer in Mexico and usually all

the projects require work with people that have many different problems.

Mexico has specific circumstances where we need work very near to the people,

many companies from other countries come to Mexico to do business. There's a

good opportunity for them but sometimes these projects were developed for their

country's circumstances, where all of the context was different than Mexico.

The visualization can be used to see the people doing all the things that they do

on all days, and how they try to adapt the thing for their job.

Application

Usually I start with informal interviews with the people, talking about all of the

problems, how they feel, how the companies from other countries try to adapt the

business that was developed for other circumstances.

After that I'm going to make notes in “post-it notes” and I'm going to make small

groups on a canvas, trying to group and see where we have the same problems. If

it’s possible, I'm going to try to do these card sorting with the people.

When we have the problems in small groups we can see where the principal

concentration is and we can do a prioritization of these to see where the

problems are.

Another way to do that is watching the people doing their work to see how they

are trying to sort and take notes about that.

Insight & Approach

When we can see the problems in the usual way that they were developed, we

can open our eyes for the details, because all the people all the time are trying to

fix them, and sometimes they can do or they can think they can do, but when you

see in your own eyes probably you can see opportunities of do the things

different.

When you can see how the problems were accumulated in groups, you can see

where you have more opportunities to attack and where you have to spend more

time thinking.

For the next time when I need to get an approach to a project I will try to do it,

thinking in the design thinking process.
