Tweak tweak...

Kia ora and welcome again to another reflection on the design process for my MIT (Maniakalani Innovative Teacher) project. 

Please feel free to add your thoughts and shared experiences in the comments below.

Image result for draft novelI remember reading an incredible book called 'On Writing Well' by William Zinsser. Along with many other gems, one impacting idea was the amount of words one needed to strip away from multiple drafts in order to achieve the clearest and best iteration of an idea.

In role play this was demonstrated to us by our lovely Maniakalni hosts in our recent gathering. Dorothy acted as a frustrated customer sharing her challenge with a 'designer'. Her problem was inundated with emotions, examples and details that clouded the root cause of her frustration.

This lead to our next step in the design thinking process which was further stripping back our challenge and tweaking the wording to present a strong and stable idea that would lead to a clear solution.

In slides 2 through to 5 below you can see the various iterations of my challenge.
