An intervention about Oblique Strategies

| 0 comments

I do some research about Oblique Strategies and find some online app or web could also do it, so I find four of my designer friends to test about it; I let people think about the problems that make them stressed and try Oblique Strategies and talk about their feelings.


Afterward, most people reported that it didn’t feel much, and some people thought it was interesting, but this was just for fun, and it didn’t make them feel more.

Later, after reading a lot of CBT and Narrative therapy-related content, I found that everyone would give very systematic guidance. I tried to introduce this kind of guidance into the strategy to make the whole process more specific. At the same time, I recalled the previous script. Before starting the class, the free writing advocated by the class teacher set a topic and write according to your feelings for five minutes. In my opinion, that process is a good reflection process, and I hope to try to integrate that feeling. I designed a simple boot process, which is divided into three steps in total:

  1. Ask a question that makes you feel stressed now
  2. Get help from the Oblique Strategies http://stoney.sb.org/eno/oblique.html
  3. Think and write down how this help could inspire you, could write anything you want

example:

  1. I don’t know how to confirm the search gap
  2. Mute and continue
  3. So, I should now eliminate outside noise, exclude other people’s interference, study the problem deeply, and discover with enthusiasm. Suppose I research only for the research gap; it will cause a very embarrassing and passive situation, so You must be in a state of enthusiastic exploration first so that others’ research will no longer be my obstacles. I will stand on top of other research results and could find more meaningful and in-depth topics.

After that, I send it to some of my stakeholders to test, here’s some feedback:

I learned from people’s feedback:

  1. The guidance help with the effect, making the process interesting and very comforting.
  2. He can only comfort me and cannot solve practical problems.
  3. It is difficult for me to calm down and do this test when I am impatient

Regarding the third point, I asked whether the guided interactive video can play a role, and the stakeholder agreed, so I think I will speed up the development of my guide video to cooperate with the project to perform better.

As of now, my project can be divided into two parts. The first part is video guidance, which will combine the column design mentioned before. First, let people calm down through the relaxing board, which combines some encouragement and advice, such as the above content.

And the second part is a book, this book is more for people to record their reflections, and the content of the relaxing board will be placed on the inner page of the book. This is more like a folder.
