Challenge & Selection:

Storytelling is very effective tool. It connects the people. It is always easier to understand the complex  issues by having more relative examples. I lead the team of design engineers who works on the different  project on daily basis. Although projects are different but the issues are almost the same what my senior  colleagues have already faced. Whenever I meet my seniors I try to discuss these issues and they come  up with the similar experience they faced previously.

During our weekly meeting, I shared the story of the similar issues faced by our senior colleague and it  really helped the team to understand the issue very well. They asked some relevant questions and I  answered them based on the same context with my experience on similar issue. Frequently I used this  method to solve these individual issues. And discuss this with the team overall.

Application:

I remember one instance, we were in the project kick off meeting and discussing the new project.

I was explaining the project scope and critical areas where we need to focus. Similar project I handled it  two years back. And I was knowing the some deviations which will certainly come during the detailed  design phase of the project. The team was thinking in a usual design way. I told them the story how one  project requirement changed the complete design and I had to worked from scratch again. It consumed  a lot of time and efforts.

Insight & Approach:

In actual the real problems was the project design specifications requirement, which was actually  obsolete and was not available in the market. So when my initial design was complete. Our procurement  team told me that if we go with this particular requirement the project delivery will be delayed by 4  months at least. Which will have negative impact on overall project hand over. I communicated with the  client and redesign the whole project with alternate specifications. Client accepted it. And we completed  the project on time.

I told the same story to my team. It helped them. They changed the approach to the design and finally  we were able to complete the project ahead in time.

Well, this course have gave me the different insight of the same story telling. And now I can prepare  myself to be more accurate and prepared well with the compelling story.so that it would have the good  impact on the team.
