CHALLENGE 

 There was a problem of stray cows wandering in the village destroying crops ready to be harvested both   food grains and vegetables . These cattle were left loose by the owners after they have stopped giving   milk or the owners could not afford to feed them . There was a need for creating a shelter for these cows   before the next crop season which was four months away . The department of development was   assigned this task and the deadline was given . The relevant data was collected . The number of stray   cows was estimated to be 200 in the village with approximately half cows and half bulls . the bulls and   the cows had to be kept separate as the former turns violent and harms the cows . They had to be   protected from rain , cold and heat . They required fodder , water and adequate medical care . Their waste   had to be frequently removed so as to keep the place hygiene . They require grazing area so that they   can spread out and find food for themselves . In case of death , the bodies should be properly disposed   off . Last but not the least the cow shelter had to be sustainable to serve cattle for generations to come . 

 SELECTION 

 I being the head of the department of development chose the VISUALISATION tool . I chose it for two   reasons . The project needed time bound action and had to be completed within the deadline given . the   second reason was that the staff had to bring in resources from different places an sources and this was   a first project of its kind where they are working in a mission mode . 

 APPLICATION 

 I chose four stages of the development of a plant , viz seed stage , germination , flowering and fruit   development for the visualization . Four stages were chosen as we had four months to complete the   project . I drew a seed , a sapling , a flower and a fruit on the white board . And I named the four months   as month of the seed , sapling , flower and fruit .   I likened the seed to the preparation stage – collection   of raw materials needed for the project , the sapling stage when the structure becomes visible on the   land , the flowering stage when the shelter takes off and the fruit stage to make economies of scale and   make the project sustainable in the long run . The first two stages were the most challenging and I   reminded them the greater effort needed to be put in during the same . So the team was asked to think   about the different requirements in each stage and four groups of four staff were made . They were then   asked to post stick it notes below each stage on the board of their ideas and concepts . We got many   common notes and we eliminated the repetition . There was a compilation and the staff was divided for   each month with a specific set of activities to be done by them . The staffs were given a printed to do   chart with the pictures on top . They were called for review after two weeks to track progress and do   course correction wherever needed . The tool was helpful to some extent as it helped in effective brain   storming and helped in activating the staff in the initial stage . 

 INSIGHT 

 I had this insight that the task was indeed challenging and tough and the staff was overworked and often   bored with routine job . The project involved multiple stakeholders with complicated interlinkages and   many other departments needed to be coordinated . So I wanted to create an environment to spur their 

 imagination , bring out their creativity , efficiency and a sense of ownership for successfully completing   the same . I thought that one of the tools of design thinking may be tried . 

 APPROACH 

 This tool was good enough in this kind of project . But it failed to capture the relations between different   stake holders . I might also try mind mapping next time .
