Then find your goals...

STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 993 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Collaboratory improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 993 standard requirements:


1. Is open space logically linked and related to other green space as part of a strategy for the development and enhancement of the green space network in the wider settlement?
   
   

2. Does using value sensitive design and participatory action design together guarantee a more appropriate technology solution than just one of the design processes?
   
   

3. Did you understand the tasks and activities involved in the requirements phase and the importance to the overall project at the time of your participation?
   
   

4. Does the action advance other community objectives, as capital improvements, economic development, environmental quality, or open space preservation?
   
   

5. How do expectations of the design team members evolve during the participatory design process and what factors influence the change in expectations?
   
   

6. What are the range of ownership models that could be considered for open space, depending on type of use, permanence of use, scale, and location?
   
   

7. Does the delineation of staff and participant responsibilities reflect the design of the participatory program and enable its smooth operation?
   
   

8. Do you also add anything on the setting of higher efficiency standards and environmental protections as well as access to public open spaces?
   
   

9. What is the nature of the skills required to construct graphical knowledge representations in real time, participatory settings?
   
   

10. How much time was taken during the entire participatory program from design and planning stages to completion of the evaluation?

Results

In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:


• Diagnose Collaboratory projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices

Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make Collaboratory investments work better.

This Collaboratory All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
