REFLECTION- STORY TELLING

Challenge:

I have been a member of design thinking team in our company. Our  company does all kinds of ad films. Recently, we had a deal with one  start-up company and they told us about their products and told us  to make an ad shoot and so that project was allotted to our team  and everyone worked on it and so did I. I came up with a concept in  which we can promote all their products at a time. For explaining my  concept to my head and other team members I chose story-telling as  a tool because I think it is the best tool that can be used for  explaining concept for an ad.

Selection:

I decided to use storytelling tool as it seems to be more realistic than  others in my situation. It helped me a lot in explaining my concept to  my team head, other teammates and the actors. They got connected  to the concept emotionally. Everyone loved my presentation and I  am so glad that I could just finish it all by myself. Hence, I feel story  telling is a great tool for good explanation of my design to my boss  and other teammates.

Application:

Storytelling is very useful in delivering the content or concept we  have in an organised and proper manner and it makes the listeners  understand the concept and get connected to the situation easily.  Storytelling is used in every company as it has a realistic side of  thinking and it has many advantages as well. Every person gets to  connect with some or the other story in their life and so in design  thinking also. Every popular brand has a special story that tries to  connect people to the specific emotions, the characters or actors,  the values or beliefs. Storytelling helps in building bonds between

the user and the company or brand. And so, I used storytelling tool  to give my presentation to my team head, other teammates and our  client.

Insight:

By applying storytelling tool, the concept is getting highlighted and  the users are getting connected to the story and our products.  Sometimes a little story can do a lot of things which are good. People  get emotionally connected to the products and use them for a longer  time. Storytelling is a tool that enables us to explain the product or  concept very clearly to more audience and it is not an easy thing to  be a storyteller. Explanation also matters along with the story. Good  communications skills are required.

Approach:

Firstly, I had no knowledge then I approached my teammates who  started developing a concept and they have used a different method.  Then, I thought of coming up with a different concept using  storytelling. I started my groundwork that is the very basic level of  approach. Then, I started to develop the concept step by step and I  used all the products that our client company produces and made a  presentation. And I am quite moderate at presenting so I also took  the help of coursera to learn some presentation skills and somehow  my presentation went well and our client, my teammates and my  team head appreciated me. I would like to improve my  communication skills so that I can tell the story in different ways so  that our client will get more excited next time. I never thought I  could present a presentation in such a good way. This course has  helped me a lot in doing so... and made me see storytelling tool in a  new way.

Finally, I thank you, for reading my assignment.
