I like acronyms. I like processes that count off on a single hand. In order to get things done I use the acronym BRACE to solve problems and meet goals.
Brainstorm
Rank
Analyze
Communicate
Execute
It starts with brainstorming. Creating a mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive list of opportunities to solve a problem or achieve a goal.
Once a list is complete ranking the items by subjective beliefs is the second step. Return to prioritize as often as necessary.
Providing quantification is the next step. The analysis can be simple or complex depending on the nature of the problem or goal.
Communicating the solution is the fourth step and critical for getting feedback, testing feasibility, and gaining support. Spend the most time on this step.
Once a solution has buy-in the final step is to execute it. List the necessary steps and delegate the actions.
It may take a little time to get into this rhythm. Once you do you may find you have more time to solve more problems and meet your most audacious goals. Brace yourself for success.
