Reflection: Story Telling

Challenge and Selection:  Everybody loves stories, as it helps us imagine, involve, and understand better. Design  Thinking is a process where a user's response plays a significant role in product  innovation. As we prioritize the user's needs and emotions, we need to make sure they  understand the product's motto and usefulness. To do that effectively, we use  Storytelling as a tool to help them appreciate the creation of the product. A good story is  designed for the audience. It is a compelling way to engage the audience, describe the  product better, helps us understand and observe the audience, connect with them, and  make them feel more thrilled about the product.    Understanding people and connecting with them within the time given , using our story  is always a challenge.    Application:  While you describe the product in the form of a story, always know your audience first.  Use words that the audience understands and know who will be using the product, the  age group, what they already know, what do they need, where they are from, and all the  regular information about the audience, so that we will be able to deliver the right  information about the usage of the product and get the audience to take in the context  comfortably.    It would help if you made sure that the story has a sequence and holds the audience  from the beginning of the story, and keeps them interested and excited until the end. It  would be best if you structured the information appropriately. Give the audience facts,  stay honest with them. Have empathy. Think from various perspectives and present  them with an appealing story.    The audience must be encouraged to ask questions. You must ensure that you reduce  the tension and doubt among the audience by answering them aptly. Be certain that you  don't leave the audience with any sense of doubt and uncomfortableness at the end. Be  friendly and approachable to their needs.    In the end, assure that the audience knows the benefits of the product and ensure that  they feel the need to take it and invest in it.     When your friend is low and you wanna comfort him/her you can always tell a story  about your experiences and how you dealt with it.People always like to tell their stories,  you have to patiently listen to them.

Insight and Approach:  Storytelling helps you to have the people's attention and engagement for a little longer  than usual, like using a presentation to explain the product. It is a better way of showing  them how your product provides value. It helps you to gather personalized emotional  data about our consumer's experience and allows you to improve if required.

Hence, you learn that Storytelling can be a great asset to successfully reach your

product goals and needs.
