 Challenge : Describe your challenge , including all relevant information .     Challenge   The challenge was about a project of cultural change in a professional soccer team in which I was a the Executive   Director . We were almost starting a new season and we had the challenge of participating in an international   championship that wasvery important for the Club . We had made big efforts to improve the facilities and conditions   for the training and competition , becoming one of the best soccer clubs in the country , even though , the players had   serious attitude problems , were unmotivated and unfocused .   We needed a deep change in the organizational culture , and mainly in the mindset of the players .   I used the storytelling tool to show a contrasting reality to cause a greater appreciation of our situation and achieve   a greater motivation of the group .      Selection : In your own words , briefly describe the tool you selected ( e.g. , what it is and why you selected it for your   challenge -- including any appropriate video lecture references ) .     Selection   Stories are a great tool to engage people with your Project , because allows you to connect the people with the   essence of the problem and how to solve it . Stories allow you to access emotion , emphasize experiences and make   the concepts more tangible .     Application : Describe how you applied the tool you selected to your challenge ( e.g. , what you did and how the tool   was applied effectively or ineffectively ) .     Application   I used a video add based on a true story .   In 1986 a group of children who lived in a little island called Koh Panyee in   the south of Thailand , loved to watch and play soccer , but had nowhere to play or practice because Koh Panyee was   a floating village in the middle of the sea that has not an inch of soil .   One day , they had an idea , and in spite of their   limitations , they decided to form a soccer team . They created their own space , building a floating raft as a soccer   field to train and play . With this new pitch , created by themselves they reached their dream of forming the Panyee   Football ( Soccer ) Club .

 Insight : Describe the insight you gained from applying the tool you selected to your challenge ( e.g. , how an insight   affected your thinking about the challenge and about design thinking more broadly ) .     Insight   In spite of the constraints and the opinions of others , they did n't let their limitations stop them , they challenged the   status quo , innovated and created a real solution for them . With their story , they have become a great inspiration   for new generations on the island and lot of soccer players around the world .     After watching the video , we shared about our reality and compared it with the story we saw . This story inspired our   players to value all the things that they already had . We reflected about how thinking differently , with will power   and a positive attitude can make positive changes and achieve great goals .   We reflected that people´s attitudes   drives their behaviors , and we realized that if we wanted to succeed we need to have a positive attitude and the   right mindset . With this story we reached an attitude change of the players and also in the organizational culture and   motivation of the group .      Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you selected or a different one   -- and the reason(s ) why .     Approach   In spite of having a good result telling this story to the team , I think if I had started the process with a deep   understanding of the needs and problems of the players , I could have prepared an integral solution that makes a big   impact in their conduct . After taking this course , I know how important it is to start the process to solve a human   based problem with a deep understanding of the people , empathizing and developing a deep insight into the   problem or opportunity to find a good solution to solve it .
