This week we walked three stakeholders
through my groups proposed design solution. We created a simple flow chart to
illustrate each stage of our leaving care solution (which does not yet have a
name), and noted our problem focus on a poster in front of each stakeholder.
We found that it was easier and easier to
explain our design solution to the stakeholders. Repeating and articulating our
ideas multiple times really made it much clearer and refined in our minds. This
also allowed us to see certain gaps in our solution.
Each stakeholder had a unique reception of
our design solution, each pointing out different opportunities and
limitations.
We delegated roles; a scribe, a speaker and
a receiver. This allowed two people to really engage with the stakeholder,
while not jeopardizing missing any content. The feedback really helped us to
adjust our solution, and to consider all the different stakeholder
perspectives. It was really interesting to see first hand how each stakeholder
has such distinctive concerns.
