Iteration Generator

The Iteration Generator is a component of development that provides a framework to efficiently and effectively communicate the current eDream Mission, Strategy, Plan, eDream Snapshot, Enablement Snapshot and Executive Summary . The Iteration Generator will be used to produce several iterations during the process of making the eDream happen. The Mission may have minimal changes, the Strategy will likely have several changes, the Plan may have thousands of changes.

1-Review - Mission, Strategy, Activities

– ensure the strategy delivers on the Mission. Review the impacting people, communities and realities as well as required activities. The Enablement Framework section of the book will describe how to do this.

The Enablement Framework section of the book will describe how to do this 4. Learn – Validate – Once the solution is designed, it needs to be validated by the impacting people and communities. We need to validate that the design is viable within the constraints of the impacting realities.  Iterate (revisit Steps 1-4) 5. Create – Design – This is creating the solution and completing the many enablement activities within the design. 6. Learn - Test – Test the solution to get the feedback from the aspirers, beneficiaries, decision makers and contributors.  Iterate (repeat steps 1-6)
