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 & 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.

Content Purpose

– when writing a whitepaper or creating a new 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)

By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. A wise man is full of strength, and a man of knowledge enhances his might, for by wise guidance you can wage your war, and in abundance of counselors there is victory. Wisdom is too high for a fool; in the gate he does not open his mouth. (Proverbs 24:3-7)
