Visualization

Challenge/Selection

Visual thinking is one of the significant tools that fit my scenario as I was working with

stakeholders from the marketing, customer service, management, and human resource

department. Visualization was chosen because it communicates concepts and allows timely

analysis of the various elements in the presentation. Closely related parameters in the technical

presentation will get identified, eliminating conflicts that arise due to misunderstandings. I use

this approach when new technological innovations such as cloud computing are a new trend.

Still, the business stakeholders do not understand the role of the technology in achieving the

goals set. I decided to apply a pie chart in the visualization to generate discussions on each

stakeholder's ratio in the implementation process.

Application

I would start the process by drawing an empty pie chart with no partitions to help the

participants understand that the process begins on a clean slate with no element of bias. I will use

the available organizational materials or carry out an informal interview with one participant to

understand how the new technology fits the business. I will then divide the participants into 3-4

groups and provide them with the process necessary for cloud migration and ask them to provide

their roles in the process. The final chart will reveal the percentage that each stakeholder has in

the process. One group member will present the last charts from each group, and a final pie chart

created incorporates expert advice.

Insight

I have learned from the activity that the brainstorming sessions involved create a

teamwork spirit and cohesiveness that is difficult to replicate without the visualization technique.

The shared interests and insight throughout the process will establish a collaborative mood that

will implement new technology faster. The visualization technique allows members to check for

accuracy quickly, and it's simple to implement.

Approach

My approach in the rest of the presentation has changed as I understand the areas in the

technology implementation that the stakeholders hold close or prioritize. The revised final

presentation will represent all the participants' views; therefore, any idea generation activities

will be subsequently successful due to the combined feedback it will apply.
