Step 1: fast brainstorm of everything group can think of that would frustrate achieving the job at hand(obstacles to goal);
Step 2: group prioritizes to the top 3-5 obstacles based on their judgment about the relative importance and likelihood of the obstacle (use simple or complex voting to save time)
Step 3: assign each one of the top obstacles to a small group and ask them to quickly define the top 3-5 practical ways to remove, reduce or work-around the obstacle;
Step 4: ask full group to listen to small group reports, and then list all the actions that could be taken to attack the top obstacles, add added ideas that are stimulated by this discussion;
Step 5: group prioritizes the long list of possible actions into the top 3-5 actions regardless of obstacle they are associated with… this list becomes the core of your overall action plan to accomplish the original job or goal.. It will be about 85% of a great plan… further discussion or work by experts could add ideas for the rest of the 15% success that you may want
Step 6: Write up the Action Plan with timetable and accountabilities and get it done and celebrate your success in small steps along the journey of implementation
