Challenge & Selection:

Storytelling is an awesome tool that I use all the time. I have seen many accidents that happen in  highways due to negligent driving road hazards etc . Many of these are avoidable and we can use many  precautions . we use stories to better understand the reasons  and causes. I use this information to  develop different strategies to try and find a way that works us.for

Application:

Our team has already gone through several design thinking activities/tools, so we are ready to try the  learning launch tool. Broadly speaking, the learning launch is an experiment meant to quickly test an  idea and prototypeThis tested our assumption that the structure and execution were the main causes of  our workflow challengeI could tell she needed attention; in my mind I decided she would be “Princess  for an hour.” I made her a cup of coffee and sat down with her and let her talk. For our second learning  launch, we focused on gaining clarity about our tasks and priorities. This tested our assumption that our  prioritization of tasks was the main cause of our workflow challenge. Our team completed an  anonymous survey

Insight & Approach:

Well, wow, that was an eye-opener. Her mother was a calm presence and doing very well. Clearly it was  time for me to open up with my story. I told her how scary it was when my father had his brain  aneurysm in front of me and how I had to get him to the hospital and how difficult and scary that all  was. I shared how he recovered well, and then tied us together, by noting how she and I both have  parents who survived brain aneurysms Additionally, we thought through anticipated results, expecting  to find that a more agile approach would improve our workflow, and that both our team and the key  stakeholders would be fairly open to the new prioritization of tasks and process. Our actual results were  slightly different from what we anticipated: while our team was open to the prioritization of tasks and  process, the key stakeholders in the larger marketing department and IT department expressed some  concerns. This course made me see this as a tool in a new way. When I've done it before it was really "ad  hoc," but now I can prepare ahead and think of stories that will assist me in presenting my ideas and  best illuminate them. Given that our team has already gone through several design thinking  activities/tools and are at this stage in the timeline, the learning launch is the appropriate tool. As  previously mentioned, our team needs to review the insight gained from our first two launches and  incorporate this insight into future launch designs. Future launch designs should reflect insight gained,  progress made, and come closer to a compelling solution ready for full rollout
