Develop an initial action
plan
The process could begin with a
brainstorming session, listing potential experimental activities. For
example, the team could write a short paper outlining the results of an
opportunity-visualization exercise, any proposed initial action, and the
resources required. The purpose in all this is to gain experience necessary to
support the validity of the opportunity." During and after implementation of the
first step, review the experience in relation to any project assumptions (which
may lead to adjustment of the idea), where to go with it, and the potential next
steps.
Define the implementation
milestones
Your team should then decide what
the next major step will be, and start planning the activities involved.
Review and improve the original
idea
The original idea seldom remains the
one that is successfully implemented. As it might be difficult for its
originator(s) to accept this, external review is important to make the necessary
modifications.
