18 <br /> <br />Collaborative ProblemCollaborative ProblemCollaborative ProblemCollaborative Problem----Solving CycleSolving CycleSolving CycleSolving Cycle <br />The Working Group will work through identified challenges using the process outlined below. While this cycle is <br />a reliable roadmap for solving problems together, it may not always follow a perfectly linear order. In some <br />cases, multiple issues will be taken through the first three phases before applying criteria and straw design take <br />place. This allows for more creative solutions that may resolve more than one issue. In addition, the straw <br />design phase may need multiple iterations before the group is able to reach agreement. During these iterations, it <br />is important to look back to the interests and options as a source of ideas. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />* In this phase, everyone works creatively to solve the problem in a way that meets as many interests as <br />possible. At times, small sub-teams may work collectively to draft initial proposals for the larger group <br />to review. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1. Story <br />Explain the issue, the <br />problem to be solved, <br />from diverse <br />perspectives. <br />2. Interests <br />Identify concerns, <br />needs, or desires <br />underlying an issue. <br />3. Options <br />Brainstorm ideas to <br />meet as many <br />interests as possible. <br />4. Criteria <br />Qualities of a good <br />solution. In addition <br />to meeting interests, <br />what will you look for <br />in a solution? <br />5. Straw Design* <br />From the options, <br />draft informal <br />proposals that meet <br />as many interests as <br />possible and <br />evaluate. <br />6. Agreement <br />Implementation <br />Agree upon a solution. <br />Implement agreement, <br />monitor impact. <br />December 10, 2018, Work Session - Item 2
