Add the same blue to the fill of the type. Ungroup the type.

Add lines to the top and bottom of the words.

Apply a gradient to the line with the Gradient panel. Select the stroke selector (not the fill) and apply a gradient from the gradient preview box. Edit both gradient color stops by clicking on each circle and choosing the blue. On one color stop, set the Opacity to 0%. Use the Gradient  flip icon under the fill/stroke to change the direction of the gradient on the line.
Picture
Add arrows to the lines in the X.

In the Stroke panel, apply arrowheads to the lines form the dropdown menu. In many cases, the arrows are too large. Set the scale amount to a lower percentage for a better fit.

Picture
For the dotted lines, create a line and set the ends to be rounded (hot dog the ends). Click the Dashed Line box, set the dash to 0 and the gap to 12.
