Challenge and Selection 

 The tool I selected was Storytelling , helping to better connect with the problem at hand before we test   ideas . Working in engineering it is sometimes hard for people to put themselves in the field working on   the equipment they are doing the design work on . This can create a challenge when designs on paper do   not practically align in the field . Storytelling allows me to create an image in the engineer ’s heads as   they are coming up with design to better factor in field restraints and requirements that may otherwise   not be considered . 

 Application 

 To begin I develop a story of a normal day operator or mechanic working on that piece of equipment .   The story develops into several different situation and common issues that may arise . The problems are   not always complex and can be very basic in nature ; unable to reach a certain component or the   function interferes with another component . 

 I then encourage the engineers to play a role in the story , how we can solve the problem at hand . Ideas   and suggestions are put on a board to later be built into design consideration . Through the session ideas   are weeded through and the story continues . New problems maybe faced and input from other to come   up with more protentional problems . The activity not only helps place the engineer in the field but also   establishes a flow of idea and thought among the group . 

 The Storytelling tool helps reinforcing that the new design has a life after our desk . That this will become   someone else project and responsibility . The tool allows the group to break out of their normal roles   and partake in someone else ’s . This helps create an imaginative aspect in its own which I believe also   contributes into coming up with a better design . 

 Insight and Approach 

 Working through activity has helped design work better when but into field implementation and with   better stakeholder satisfaction . My broader take away from the activity is that sometimes taking a step   back and looking at a problem from a different angle can lead to great result . In the future I like to take   another approach using the Storytelling tool and have the group lead the story . Listening in on how they   run the exercise and if it leads to the same results . Also , being able to add input as an outside source . 

 I hope to apply this Storytelling technique in the future and will different projects . Possibly bring in other   stakeholder groups to see how they work out the activity .
