Getting things done

PART ONE
sophisticated and says, "We need to get organized!" (Catching on
now?) Then people draw boxes around the problem and label
them. Or redraw the boxes and relabel them.
At some point they realize that just redrawing
boxes isn't really doing much to solve the problem.
Now someone (much more sophisticated) suggests
that more creativity is needed. "Let's brainstorm!"
With everyone in the room, the boss asks, "So, who's
got a good idea here?" (Thank you, Mrs. Williams.)
When not much happens, the boss may surmise that his staff
has used up most of its internal creativity. Time to hire a consul-
tant! Of course, if the consultant is worth his salt, at some point
he is probably going to ask the big question: "So, what are you
really trying to do here, anyway?" (vision,purpose).
The reactive style is the reverse of the natural model. It will
always come back to a top-down focus. It's not a matter of
whether the natural planning will be done—just when, and at
what cost.

Natural Planning Techniques: The Five Phases
It goes without saying, but still it must be said again: thinking in
more effective ways about projects and situations can make things
happen sooner, better, and more successfully. So if our minds plan
naturally anyway, what can we learn from that? How can we use
that model to facilitate getting more and better results in our
thinking?
Let's examine each of the five phases of natural planning and
see how we can leverage these contexts.
Purpose
It never hurts to ask the "why?" question. Almost anything you're
currently doing can be enhanced and even galvanized by more
Don't just do
something. Stand
there.
