Sorting out Thoughts & Actions

by Rick Baker
On Jun 11, 2014

At the conceptual level: identifying patterns, identifying constraints, identifying variables, estimating the extent of scope in flux, and preparing for complexities, uncertainties and ambiguities.

At the detailed level: bringing talents to task, setting simple task-processes, using checklists, and coordinating complicated linkages between processes.

At the communication level: listening and observing, ensuring both message delivery and message receipt, appreciating and expressing differences, taking the time to address and remove understanding-gaps, raising the flag on problems, and influencing in a positive way other people's actions.

At the thoughts-into-action level: planning, implementing, evaluating, and adapting.
