Defining
The category of defining includes design tools that can help plot a course. Each tool lets you look in a different way at impact and how it can be achieved. This provides guidance for your process, your strategy or your search for solutions. You can get the most out of the tools if you already have data and insights and have analysed or structured these.
A number of general principles apply to each tool in the category:
- Use defined goals, models of change and outlooks for a compass, not for a roadmap: allow for enough room to diverge from your course.
- Use these tools to set a direction, but also to consult with the target group, client or other stakeholders. They help provide clarity, prioritise and achieve agreement.
- Examine how you can create fitting combinations of tools from this category as well as from other categories.
