establish
This stage begins by selecting and organizing the collective group, establishing the norms and determining the role each team member would be best suited for, and developing a group contract.
envision
As a group, it’s time to now examine the issue/challenge/goal together, and conceive the intended outcome. Together the group visualizes, defines, and examines the issue they are challenged with, as well as what the intended outcome is.
engineer
This stage involves assembling the nuts and bolts of the plan into something workable and applicable to the problem or challenge the group was brought together for. It’s crucial that everyone works together to synthesize a workable method for achieving the desired goal.
execute
In this stage, the group puts the plan into action and manages the process, with each team member remaining personally accountable for their contribution (this also means devising a method for ensuring other members are held accountable).
examine
At this final and crucial stage the group studies and reviews both their process and the end result. The idea is to determine if the challenge was successfully met, and also to gain insights for areas of constructive improvement.
