LO… The Information Stage
Summary of the ‘LO’ stage We set out to gather information, perceptions & Feeling We need to direct our Search for Information with Guesses We should record the information but also note the Quality of the information. We need to develop ideas, possibilities & designs.
This stage tells us about ‘Multiple Possibilities’
It is generative & productive stage of thinking.
We need to develop possibilities Three Level of Possibilities : 1. Possibility 2. Fantasy 3. Provocation
E.g. :- Imagine that you are standing on the top of a burning building.
1. Possibility :- It is that the fire engines are on the way. It is possible that you might be rescued.
2. Fantasy :- To believe that superman will swoop out of the sky to rescue you.
3. Provocation:- that the building might melt down & deposit you on the ground.
PO … What are the Possibilities
The purpose of this stage is to produce outcome from the various possibilities & alternatives.
This is the 4th stage. Evaluation & Assessment by asking :- - Is this idea worth doing ? - Can it be done ? - What are the benefits ? - Why do we need to make
this decision ? - What are the possible
problems ? SO stage is completed by 4 sub
stages :- - Development - Evaluation - Choice - Decision
SO … What is the Outcome ???
This stage indicates moving forward & upward step by step
GO stage is that the problem solution has to be practical, because you are going to consider how to apply.
You are not just going to leave it in air as ‘solution’ for someone else to use.
Thinking & action are not separate. Thinking should continue into action stage.
The output of thinking must be put into the Real world.
It’s not enough to think of a solution to a problem, you also need to consider how that solution will be put into action.
GO … Putting the Thinking to work
Thinking does not only have to be about complicated problem &
Puzzle. Thinking is not only valid when matters are very difficult.
Enjoy thinking about simple things where you will get answers. In that way you will build up your skill in
thinking, confidence, enjoyment in that skill.
Because something is easy doesn’t mean that it is not worth doing. It is better to do something easy & to do it really well than to
seek only to do difficult thing & not to Succeed at all.
Enjoy Your Thinking skill… !!!
