Reflection - Storytelling 

 Pietro Gabrielli 

 Challenge & Selection 

 In this course of Design Thinking I learned the basics about several design tools . One of those is storytelling . Storytelling is my favorite because it is so simple and easy to apply . It involves presenting your product or business in a story format that truly intrigues the potential customer or investor ; while also creating a cause for a problem and making a list about different ways to solve it . 

 Application 

 Most likely , each and everyone of those reading this have gone for some shopping in some kind of clothing store and used a fitting room at least once in their lives . If you have used a fitting room several times , you must have felt that stress of not knowing when the employee might come knock on your door and open it because he could n't hear you reply " taken " for some reason or another . Maybe the music inside the store was too loud , maybe you just panic and do n't know what to do or say , or perhaps you happen to be deaf and/or mute . So , what happens next ? The employee opens the door and there you are with barely any clothes on and some other customers catch a glimpse of you almost naked . If you go shopping regularly , then you must know the fear that I 'm talking about . 

 While I was shopping myself I wondered : what if I were to design a device ( either automatic or manual ) that lets the employee know whether someone is currently using the fitting room or not ? 

 Insight & Approach 

 My audience in this case , would be the customers that go shopping in clothing stores regularly , as well as investors and stores ’ owners . 

 To apply this tool properly , it ’s important to tell the story in the most intriguing way to the people that truly care about such things . After building a team for this presentation , we would need to be constantly asking relevant questions to our audience and then providing the answers to those questions . One of those questions could be : “ How could this affect the overall customer ’s experience apart from just using the fitting room ? ” . In that case , we can assure that the customer ’s experience will be better , even if they do n’t need to use the fitting room . Why ? Because the employees ’ workload will become less than usual , and that means they ’ll be able to attend other tasks that are just as necessary , such as looking for a certain size for a customer , attending the cash register , welcoming customers into the store , and so on .
