SYSTEMS THEORY
Map out a plan
Once we have a recognizable set of ideas, cross the third threshold and enter into our planning process. We draw upon systems theory to help us map your material, discern probabilities about its potential branches of evolution, and then align our planning with the probable emergences that usher in your desired outcomes. Then we build a business plan, breaking your BHAGs down into smaller goals and objectives, identifying available resources, laying out strategies and tactics for accomplishing those objectives, and fitting it all to an action-oriented timeline. Meanwhile, even as we introduce the planning process, our work remains anchored in the creative process. We ask you to act on your toes, be responsive to pivots, remembering that the making and the unmaking of something are happening all the time. By the time the plan has been drafted, we have become seasoned in collaborating with one another. You learn to hold the duality of making your project work. We help you hone your ability to articulate and present your work, attracting supporters and patrons, and demonstrating to the public that your project is worthwhile. You are reaching the point when you can step out into the world, confident that you have everything you need to bring your project to completion.
