Editor's Notes
- Delta thinking goes: “In what direction would I like to be? What would perfect look like? How far along am I? How on earth did I even get this far? Wow, look what’s alredy working! even though I maybe feel possibly miserable about it? How can I make a tiny little delta bit of progress along that gradient from where I am?” The important thing with the Delta method is not to look at the “perfect” place, but only to notice what moves you a small (delta) distance from where you are. Microplanning: P LATFORM What is your concern? What is the broader task or job? What is its purpuse? How does your concern affect this purpose? L OOK AT THE POSSIBLE FUTURE Supposed, you have worked out a solution: What is your best hope to see happen then as a result of this solution? What is the least that you need to see happen? U TILIZE PREVIOUS SUCCESS How did you manage it till now to “live” with the recent situation? When in the past was it (sometimes) a bit better? How did you contribute to this “positive differences”? S TEPPING THE SCALE What can you do now to go further? What needs to come as the very first step? Microevaluation: U TILIZE SUCCESS (SEARCH) What were the best things you did? What would others say was the best? U TILIZE SUCCESS (STABILIZE AND AFFIRM) How did you do that? What did you learn from it? S TEPPING THE SCALE What will you do more of as a result of this? What needs to come as the very first step? What will you do differently as a result of this? What needs to come as the very first step? = An other possibility to try it out is THE PROGRESS BLUEPRINT
