One 12-Step Process . . . What Process Is This?

July 27, 2020 by Liz

Complex Activities Need Process

When we use a process to structure our thinking, we provide strategy with a safety net. Here’s one 12-step process. Can you name the effort, action, or project that it describes?

  1. Find your big idea — one that uniquely fits you.
  2. Narrow your focus so that you can be more effective.
  3. Organize your thoughts.
  4. Make a plan.
  5. Ask for feedback from folks with more experience.
  6. Adjust your plan in response, as you see fit.
  7. Execute your plan. Let the word out.
  8. Celebrate your accomplishment.
  9. Listen for feedback from folks who find out.
  10. Use the feedback to make more revisions.
  11. Spread the word about the new and improved version.
  12. Celebrate again, but keep testing, listening for feedback, and adjusting. Know that you’ll never be fully finished.

It goes without saying that you can’t develop my plan, and I can’t develop yours.

What process is this? Did I miss any critical steps?
