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

Featuring 998 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Polymath improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 998 standard requirements:

  1. Is it utopian to envisage an interdisciplinary team negotiating the discovery, translation, dissemination and adoption phases of a research project by engaging the broader stakeholder communities?

  2. What are the key points of integration in the work, that is, where disciplinary perspectives are clearly brought together in a phrase, metaphor, interpretation, or explanation?

  3. What is a conceptual model for collaboration that would allow you to focus on promoting the preservation and discovery of resources valuable for interdisciplinary research?

  4. Does the curriculum explicitly focus on the instructional models that best lead to employee development of higher order thinking skills in an interdisciplinary manner?

  5. Who are the key people in an academic organization to facilitate the incorporation of interdisciplinary training into materials science and engineering education?

  6. When will interdisciplinarity become more than a buzzword for central administrators who in principle embrace it yet in practice almost always fail to honor it?

  7. What is the difference between an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary team, and which approach is better suited to clients with multiple or complex needs?

  8. How well do you plan the delivery of interdisciplinary learning using experiences and outcomes across curricular areas to provide a coherent curriculum?

  9. Does the program use flexible units of time that enable project based work, interdisciplinary themes and competency based measures of employee progress?

  10. Does your center face unique barriers or challenges when communicating to the public because of the interdisciplinary nature of your centers research?

In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:

  • Diagnose Polymath 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 Polymath investments work better.

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