Thinking to Mapping

Ola Amigo!! 

Como estas....

I guess we are getting bit used to this language now... hmm. “Practice makes a man perfect”... We got it Mom!! Great learnings from childhood.. is’nt it?

Alright!!! Lets get back to real work... Third meeting, back to Y-Center

Pujara’s first question “Think about one and only one company you like the most”... God!! Tough question... At the back of the head all of us have many companies we like..  But coming up with one... That’s hard!... 

But we did it.. we finally chose one and only one company we like the most and listed five reasons why we like it.. There you go.. from that we started the design thinking, real word “thinking”. Great starting question Dhairya, it actually made us “think”.

Then after an hour of design thinking and then mind mapping ... we got out with this... Looks good right?

Then we reorganized the ideas and processes on four different components of our project within a hour.

Isn’t this cool?...why our schools don’t do it this way. This is so much fun and so much effective. This is called Design Thinking and Mind Mapping. It is very impressive that how all three of us came up with some different aspects in each part of our project. We have been working on this one project for quite a while now and we are on same page, but still different perspectives. At last we could put all of that together to make it work. This shows that we are a great team that complements each other with different aspects...good for us.

Another thing we did during our meeting that was not related to our project. Usually this does not happen in a project meetings, but as we say our mentor Dhairya is a cool person. We do some fun stuff in our meetings. That's the reason.. We love to go to this meeting. All of us came up with our favorite companies. Another surprise…. all three of us...the tech geeks...came up with IT companies and our mentor’s reaction on this...You guys are nerds! Okay... That's from where we started to think out of the box... Lesson from the meeting “Use common sense even for complex things specially when you get stuck somewhere”.

Thanks to our mentor Dhairya.. for this different design thinking and mind mapping session.
