State of utter confusionResult is usually to panic or to withdraw to one's comfort zone. (both are not very helpful responses to a situation)

The thinking proposed here is that it is virtually impossible due to increasing complexity, to pre-define the goals of a project ahead of time. Like the models described below employs. 1. Log-Frame- logical Frameworks- step by step aproachesLog Frame Matrixhttp://www.brighthubpm.com/templates-forms/99404-example-of-a-logframe-matrix/#imgn_0 2. ADDIEhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADDIE_Model instructional systems design (ISD) framework that many instructional designers and training developers use to develop coursesAnalysis to clarify the instructional problems & objs, & to id the learning environment & learner's current knowledge & skillsDesign deals with learning objectives, assessment instruments, exercises, content, subject matter analysis, lesson planning, and media selectionDevelopment create and assemble content assets described in the design phase...test & debug, develop & integrate e-learning tech; review & revise thru feedback loopsImplementation develops procedures for training facilitators and learnersEvaluation consists of 2 aspects: formative (developmental/malleable) & summative (evaluating based on a standard or benchmark) ***NB It is better to employ a deliberately iterative process, like SAM (successive approximation model) to guide the design effort.

* transitions to agile systems like these require: mindflex attitude willingess to learn new things willingess to be early adopters, whilst appreciating the value of historic techniques

Lean Project Design

the reality is that most people employ no system at all, which is extremely hard for self or peers to follow, hard to manage.If however, we know what system we are utilizing, is becomes much easier to structure, articulate, progress and accept support from experts

as all social and human situations are realities created by us they are open to endless design and re-design

Analytical/Methodical = Left BrainedE.g. of an Analytical PATTERN used in the survey phase of a PC design 1) Slope, sectors and aspect,2) Soils and water,3) Microclimates,4) Existing vegetation and5) Current patterns of use in relation to zone and sector analysis.

Sense & feel what the solution/approach should be (more right brained)

harvest advantages of both approaches/sides of the brain whilst avoiding the pitfalls of each

Practice! 10 Cycle Rule

articulate a vision***The preparation we do in goals articulation and analysis & assessment makes a big difference as then the design starts to show itself without us needing to ‘come up with it’.

make a realistic appraisal of the current situation ***The preparation we do in goals articulation and analysis & assessment makes a big difference as then the design starts to show itself without us needing to ‘come up with it’.

Preparation is 9/10s of the jobThe proposal is that the design phase is made very much more simple when it’s preceded with thorough preparation. (i.e in the goals articulation and analyze & assess phases)

working on a design to guide your own action(implementation) or a design for a client it is essential and helpfulto think through what the implementation sequence will look like.Think creatively in this phase so the design can unfold in a succession that suits budgets, available labor and energies, and which meets key needs first, such as generating an early income stream.Implementation= From thinking to doing – a big step!

Place of reflection.Design evaluation/feedback loops into the process from the start.2 questions:what went wellwhat was challenging
