DES 302 - Week 5 Capstone

Another week, another reflection!

This week I am going to give the four F's of active reviewing by Dr Roger Greenaway a crack, so...

Facts: An objective account of what happened

- Tuesday: Had a presentation - received good feedback on my ideal scope and we had a really indepth korero in the DEI stream about my topic.

- Wednesday: Mainly worked on my international business paper but also intertwined my days tasks with creating value propositions.

- Thursday: Made 2 more personas and began a customer segment diagram.

- Friday: Worked on DES302 presentation to then realise the due date was extended - guess I am extra prepared now.

Feelings: The emotional reactions to the situation

- From Tuesday's conversation I realised I had to reword my How Might We Statement as it was too narrow. I am now looking at Women in the workplace, as opposed to maternal Women.

- I am struggling with some business models I am using such as the customer segment diagram.

- The 302 presentation extension is a bit of a mere for me. I am not going to lie I struggle more when I get given big extensions as it prolongs the work I do.

Findings: The concrete learning that you can take away from the situation

- What I found from the conversation I had with the DEI stream on Monday was that my HMW statement was too narrow. I understand now that the overall objective of what I wish to achieve is that I want to fight the 'maternal wall' that Women in the workplace face. This then factors other aspects of someones positionality such as age, religion, marital status, migration status etc... Different factors will contribute to a person being more or less vulnerable.

Future: Structuring your learning such that you can use it in the future

- Now, I have remade my HMW Statement. I have three options to shift my question into, these are: 1. How might we challenge the maternal stereotypes on women in the workplace, through the lens of DEI 2. How might we design, through the lens of DEI, for women fighting the 'maternal wall' in the workplace 3. How might we challenge the workplace stereotypes on women, through the lens of DEI

- I am hoping in the next week I can get user feedback and get votes on which HMW Statement clarifies my objective.
