1 . Challenge 

 I am a member of a political party here in Brazil called NOVO . NOVO is the only 

 truly liberal party around here , and we have just been recognized as a formal   organization . We are working towards achieving a larger share of mind around my city ,   Curitiba , and developed an event called “ NOVO Na Rua ” , or “ NOVO on the streets ” ,   where we would gather our members in a public square in order to talk to people about   our beliefs , projects and values .   We have a severe financial restriction now , and on the   other hand we can count on lots of people to help . The challenge was to make the best   event we could , using few or no financial resources . We did n’t have a time schedule   restriction , neither any external risks . 

 2 . Selection 

 This event was developed by a multidisciplinary team , consisting of lawyers , 

 business managers , entrepreneurs , teachers , engineers and others , that were in   charge of the party , We iterated it a lot , and used mind mapping lots of times , not only   as part of the transition of what is to what if . I was one of the developers , and I have   always used mind - mapping in a daily basis . From grocery lists to strategic planning , I   always felt that mind mapping was a really good source of creativity , problem solving   and design thinking . 

 3 . Application 

 We gathered a group of circa 20 people . Then , two leaders stood up and stated 

 the “ what is ” scenario : no money to spend , no resources to count on , just really   passionate people around a good and cause , wanting to make Brazil a better place to   live . All of the people gathered had knowledge on different areas , different life   experiences , and this was our most valuable asset . To take advantage of all this   wisdom , we provoked people to ask themselves : “ what if we had no restrictions ? ” “ what   if anything was possible ” ? The result of this reflexive - written - mini - brainstorming was   jaw dropping . We managed to come up with excellent ideas in only 15 minutes , due to   the different academic and life background experiences . We gathered all those ideas ,   divided the members in 4 groups of 5 , and gave them 15 minutes to discuss the ideas ,   and turn them into design criteria . Again , it was awesome how great ideas turned into   awesome clusters of ideas with a single - phrase heading that could resume it . 

 To finish this mind - mapping session , we asked our members to answer to the 

 question suggested by Samantha Silva : “ If anything were possible , what criteria   would our new event meet ? ” 

 4 . Insights 

 From using this method , we managed to succeed on stablishing a SMART 

 ( Specific , Meaningful , Action oriented , Realistic and Timely ) goal , of getting 200   registers for our mailing list ( we managed to reach and then exceed this number by 50   in the event ) . In addition , we had several contributions from the members , which   disposed of tables , chairs , balloons , and many things that made a great event ,   complimented by all of the participants . 

 In my opinion , the most important insight was to confirm that mind mapping 

 could be used in any phase of Design Thinking as an idea generator , a creativity   activator and a team builder . In spite of being used in the videos as a “ what is ” tool , we   used mind mapping to help us on “ late - what is / early - what if ” . I , personally , believe that   this tool can and should be used at any time in the Design Thinking Process . 

 5 . Approach 

 Next time using mind mapping , I might try to use it along with brainstorming 

 techniques , such as the six hats of thinking . I believe that it gives a hollistical , systemic   panorama of the situation , and will contribute a lot with idea generation .
