How We Think About How We Work

How do we think about how we work? We rely on a few simple processes. Here is a list:

• Progressive Improvement & Learning Process (PILP)
• Continuous Transformation Process (CTP)
• Deliverable Review: Initiate, Create, Review, Validate & Approve Process (ICRVA Process – “I crave a” Process)
• Purpose: Awareness, Knowledge, Understanding, and Wisdom

Many thanks go to Alison Williams for helping me to clarify the Continuous Transformation Process (CTP).

Progressive Improvement through Continuous Transformation

Progressive Improvement & Learning Process (PILP)

Continuous Transformation Process (CTP)

Deliverable Review

Initiate, Create, Review, Validate & Approve (ICRVA) Process (“I crave a” Process)

The roles in the ICRVA process are based on the RACI matrix of responsibilities.

Purpose (When Writing or Creating a Presentation)

1. Awareness (An Overview of what is being described (Information))
2. Knowledge (The “What” of what is being described)
3. Understanding (The “How” of what is being described)
4. Wisdom (Deep Knowledge and Understanding acquired through Experience)

Intended Audience Statement (Example)

The intended audience for this tutorial about Structured Credentials is a broad range of professionals interested in furthering the application of Verifiable Credentials technology for use in software apps, agents, and services. The primary audience includes software architects, application developers, and user experience (UX) specialists; as well as people involved in a broad range of standards efforts related to decentralized identity, verifiable credentials, and secure storage.
