Challenge and Selection 

 The challenge was to create a more innovative environment in my campus . With 

 no one knowing exactly why our institute follows the way of low production of new 

 technologies , I started out trying to understand better the complexity of the 

 problem involving departments , students , teachers , companies , politics and 

 society in creating and motivating creativity on the people inside it . As a student 

 and 20 years old boy , I had no experience outside math and physics that my 

 engineering course was teaching me , but had - and still have - motivation to learn 

 and study things outside my area of expertise . In that way , I joined the student 

 representation of my course and a research group in the institution to learn 

 observe and talk with people . At the end of it , I choose to create drawings to 

 visualize more clearly the complexity of the problem and to share it with 

 colleagues for insights . 

 Application 

 I started out to think in this problem two years ago when I raised that question . 

 Since then , I did some research on startup and companies cultures , also I started 

 to understand how the government and the public education administratively 

 works and why the public workers and students were demotivated to innovate 

 and to pursue their wills - at the moment I was president of the student 

 representation of my course . On that way , I not only held conversation with 

 colleagues and teachers but also members of the administration of my campus 

 about it . All of them had something to add to the understanding of the problem . 

 Not restricted to my area , I went to a startup meetup , a Social Good event and 

 many lectures of the innovative area , one of which was with a CEO of a company 

 called WeGov here in Brazil that focus on innovation in the public service . 

 Furthermore , I spent time hearing podcasts and reading topics of politics , 

 economy and other themes related with culture and environment for innovation 

 on the public service . By the time , I was able to join a lot of information from 

 different areas and start my own projects to test the assumptions I had . However , 

 one moment I stopped and tried to build a study group for innovation in the 

 campus to deal with the core challenge . That was the moment I used the visual 

 thinking tool . 

 I have put all information I have gathered in drawings with the understanding and 

 correlation with all the departments of my campus and I submitted that to my 

 colleagues for insights . The drawings showed the relations of the campus with 

 external companies , inside departments , students , educational problems , 

 barriers that exist in communication , autonomy of students , teachers and 

 members of the administration , and questions of how to innovate , motivate , be 

 effective and create a sustainable system of research and innovation inside our 

 institute . All of which I imagined and have noticed in the way that had some to do 

 with the lack of creative and innovative culture in the institute . 

 At the end of it , my colleagues gave me various insights and that showed me that 

 my first assumption I had - a group of study that would solve the problem – was 

 not sustainable . The insights showed that maybe others solutions could be more 

 adequate in solving the problem . Today , we are trying to implement many ideas 

 we had in the next stages of design thinking . 

 Insight & Approach 

 When researching and asking questions , I learned that people always have some 

 solution in mind , but that was not always the best solution . At the moment they 

 try to implement those ideas and fail , the time spent to win the absurd 

 bureaucracy added to the exhaustive routine they have is very frustrating , that is 

 a great factor of demotivation and it is passed away from the older to the younger . 

 I visualized that the poor comprehension of the full system was creating bubbles 

 of conscience in each department . Furthermore , this comprehension was 

 different even between students and teachers of the same area . 

 My insight in that case is that when I collected all the information and passed it to 

 my colleagues , their insights and ideas were more creative and could win more 

 barriers in the system . Next time I will focus on gathering more information for a 

 more depth analysis of the problems to pass that on , in hope of empowering 

 people and to find new interesting solutions .
