Think systems
Connected.
or 'systems' thinking, underlies all good design. Whether
you're developing a plan for a large organisation or putting together a
team to work on a new project, it's necessary to think clearly about
underlying needs and creatively about how best to meet them.
Moving from an understanding of needs to implemented solutions always requires careful, connected thought. This doesn't just happen naturally: we have a preference for the status quo, not least because change is always accompanied by risk. But to make progress assumptions must be challenged and new approaches developed in a way which recognises both the big picture and the detail. The Mindworks approach provides a structured way of doing this which is sufficiently simple that it doesn't get in the way of our natural ability to think creatively and develop good ideas. Instead, by providing a 'light' structure which can be applied quickly, and which enables clear and creative thinking, the Mindworks Approach supports our natural ability to develop and implement good ideas.
Introducing
a change is, in many ways, like planning a journey. It's vital to agree
where you're going and, more importantly, why. It's also important to
know your starting point, but simply describing where you are won't get
you to your destination. Instead you need to think about the
possible routes, working out how to avoid barriers and thinking
creatively about how to exploit bridges. You also need to think
about what might go wrong en route and how you would deal with problems
that might arise. Once you've started your journey, you need to
be flexible about your route, particularly if you encounter unexpected
barriers. And once you've arrived you need to check whether
you're actually in the right place!
