| STEP 1 | Define the problem I approach problems by first understanding why you are here, by listening, I decipher the true nature of the problem. Once we’ve identified the problem, I evaluate preexisting knowledge, “need to know” information, and the technical skills required to approach the problem. |
STEP 6 | Prototype Idea In today’s industries any medium is possible. To better understand what we are making, I visualize solutions through sketches, diagrams, images, 3D models, or interactive. |
| STEP 2 | clear objectives To achieve a successful solution that obtains your goals, we must articulate what our solution needs to accomplish. Our experiences and observations can help us determine our objectives. CREATIVITY + PROBLEM SOLVING = INNOVATION |
STEP 7 | Analyze Options I compare the models with the research, bearing in mind what you and the objectives have set out to accomplish. |
| STEP 3 | Define the Approach By excavating all available information, I can understand the problem at its root. Gathering information helps us determine the sequence of the solution. By simplifying the problem, we can simplify the solution. Albert Einstein “ A Problem Well Defined is Half Solved.” |
STEP 8 | Production: Mobilize Team I define expectations early, understand consequences, motivate, and inspire to ensuring follow through. |
| STEP 4 | Elicit Support I value focusing on goals, properly managing, and seeking new resources that seamlessly correspond with the solution. Knowing limitations is essential in finding successful and practical solutions. |
STEP 9 | Evaluation I analyze results, listen to external feedback, and make adjustments. |
| STEP 5 | Gather Information This step is about trusting research methods that acknowledge cultural principles while taking into account the climate that created the problem. It’s important to look at history: understanding the past is the best pathway to move any idea or design towards the future. |
STEP 10 | Evaluation of Success It’s important to evaluate the results and compare the results with our projections. We determine what worked, what didn’t work, and why. I use evaluation to create a strategy to expand upon our successes. |
