INTRODUCTION:
Perspective : Viewpoint, refers only to sight and does not include other senses. It also doesn't involve analysing information received as well.
Stake Holders : People, groups or organisations that are directly or indirectly effected or are involved in a particular transaction.
WARM-UP ACTIVITY:
During this activity, were were shown photos of two different scenarios. We were then asked to point out the direct and indirect stakeholders in regards to what was shown. This exercise taught me how to look beyond what is primarily perceived. It also showed me how this exercise can help a designer perform his/her primary task of being aware of the existing problems in order to find solutions.
MAIN ACTIVITY:
Summary of the activity: For the main activity we were made into groups and each group was assigned with a picture. All the members then had to individually identify and list out the different stakeholders. We then had to collaborate and create a stakeholder map. The task finally ended with each member choosing a stakeholder and finding a problem that that individual or group faces and finding two solutions for the same.

REFLECTION:
As an aspiring designer, I realise the importance of being aware of the different issues and being able to map the different stake holders.
From the feedbacks received, I realised that I had to focus more on the problems and solutions faced by the immediate stake holders. In my first attempt, I had chosen a stake holder (NGO's) that belonged to the outermost category in our map. However after the feedbacks I realised that my choice was not really relevant.
Reviewing other groups work also made me understand how differently stake holders can be mapped.
As a group we also faced a slight difficulty in stating relevant stakeholders while creating the list.
