Challenge:

That happened during my previous job and it was in the power generation sector and the CEO  decided to assigned me to a construction project based only on the trust not the qualification, and  the challenge for me was I did not have any information about the construction technicalities, plus  that the project was delayed by 7 months and need to be delivered as soon as possible.

Selection:

The selection was complicated not only one selection of the methods will be enough I need to use  more than one method mixed together because the situation was very complicated, so the closest  used methods was the visualization and the mind mapping mixed together, learning launch.

Application:

First of all I did a mind mapping to come with a plan to get to know how I will deal with this strange  situation, and the result was that I do not have the knowledge to lead that project by myself so I will  need a group of professional team members to handle the technical issues and I will be able to  handle the management issues, plus that type of accountability will need a certain type of friendship  and a high level of communication.

Second I used the learning launch, I met all the team members and I request a meeting with all the  team and the CEO to primary study the project and set the roles and come up with solutions for the  tie line that already got a problem.

3rd step using the visualisation with the client, I setup a meeting and got all the information from the  client and his issues with the project and his problems with the previous project manager, to use all  that information to set the statistics

Insight:

It really started working with the team with the new policy that every specialized person will be  responsible on his part of the job and he will attend the technical meetings with me to replay on the  technical requirements, and I will not get the success of the project for myself but we all will get the  success, and everyone felt the ownership of the project and I tried also to get the team a small  bonus to encourage them and to get there trust.

After the meeting with the team we came up with some mitigations and solutions we can follow to  save the project time and one of that is to agree with the client on a new schedule, and we  rescheduled the project and the client was happy with the new schedule.

After the meeting with the client we come up with the data that we could use it to modify the design  of the project and the client was very happy with the new design presentations included a concept  design and graphic movie of the project in operation, and that moment we start to gain the client  trust and he stat to accept and pay for our invoices and we modified the project with any more  required modifications and add it to the special price list and he was happy.

Approach:

You may need to use one more method of the design thinking tools in the same situation and it is  depend on the complexity of the situation and it will give you and accurate satisfaction results,

The mind mapping was a great method and made me prepared for special requirements of the  situation especially with communication with my team and escalating the responsibilities.

The learning launch with everyone participating in find a solution increased the ownership of the  project for all the team.

The visualization method made me know what was the client want and when we present it in a  photos and a 3d design and a futuristic graphic movie the client was vey satisfy and happy and felt  that we appreciate his ideas and his requirements and that made him accepting the new time  schedule.
