Challenge 

 I was part of a volunteering team in an NGO . The team had as a project , to work and try to   improve any field or system in Lebanon . As agriculture is a very big sector in our country ,   but still neglected , we thought about a way to improve this sector . Most farmers if not all   still live in poverty , mainly because of the low revenues and prices compared to prices in the   market . This is mostly due from the farmers ’ ignorance and the long distribution chain to get   the products to the markets . We decided to tackle this issue and try to create a technology   to link farmers to direct buyers in order to increase their revenues . 

 Selection 

 We have decided as a team to use the learning launch tool . We believe it ’s the best tool   when it comes to creating a mobile application . Since we discovered that most farmers do   not own a smartphone and are not “ tech savvy ” , this tool will help us improve our project ,   working with a prototype and experiment it with farmers to get feedback . 

 Application 

 Our launch was focused on providing a simple mobile application with incredible features   like chat and sharing location . Then our next step was to observe the farmers ’ interaction   with the platform . And it was following this step that we found out that most of the farmers   did n’t own a smartphone , despite that they liked the idea proposed . Even if this process had   “ negative ” outcome , it helped us understand more the market , and farmers ’ lifestyle . 

 So what we decided to do was to hold this idea for a while , and meanwhile collecting old   smartphones donations . After gathering enough phones , our team had to make sure to   teach those farmers how to use the devices and especially the application . 

 Insight 

 By implementing the learning tool , my team and I had the opportunity to test our project . It   was through the learning process that we found out about the farmers ’ lifestyle , which   enabled us to improve our project , which was n’t going to succeed without this learning   launch . Moving forward through the process , we learned that our project should have been   more a human centered design instead of product centered one . Finally leading to satisfied   farmers . 

 Approach 

 I believe that the learning launch tool was the appropriate tool for our project . As it was   very effective for us , I think that it might not always be the case for any project or idea .   There are always other ways of approaching an idea in order to get the ideal solution . That ’s   why these design thinking tools are very effective and can be used all together in a project .
