Application of Desighn Thinking 

 By Ana Sofia Rayo 

 Selection : Our challenge was to help as many commercial establishments as possible , families who   live from day to day and with the pandemic their income had decreased to the maximum , this due   to the fact that people no longer go out to shop , as they do not want to expose themselves to   contagion . 

 This exercise posed a specific challenge , since i ) the crisis was affecting a large population of   citizens , ii ) we were confined to our homes due to the pandemic , iii ) the team could not travel and   we could only help through the internet , iv ) . Information gathering could only be done with those   people who had an internet connection , and those who did not could not access them . 

 Application : 

 We got together with a group of friends to brainstorm , first we analyzed the issues , then for each   issue we did a root cause analysis , at this stage we realized that our analysis was not enough and   we needed to get the people in the community involved and we had to ask them the root causes   of the issues . The exercise was fantastic because due to that same analysis also emerged proposals   for solutions that allowed us to work on the most viable solutions that generated satisfaction to   the community . 

 Perspective : 

 The amazing thing about using the tool , is that we as a team initially envisioned the solution to be   the one we wanted to put forward , however the solution went beyond that by engaging the   needs , perspectives , and solutions that the community itself provided . We worked hard , and we   hope to soon begin to see the results that will allow us to see that families are moving forward and   improved the results and income of their commercial establishments . 

 Approach : 

 For an upcoming exercise I hope to have technological tools that will allow me to collect the   information in a time - efficient way , since collecting the information on paper and then taking it to   the computer generates extra work to proceed with the respective analysis .
