I went back to the green button another time after I had begun here.That was the reason to make sure that I was understanding it.
Good post! I use these principles as I go through the training courses here at WA. I don't just "go through the motions" and move on, I want to full grasp and understand (and eventually master) the material to the best of my ability before I take the next step. I'm a firm believer in building a strong foundation first.
Thanks Mgnaga I find your posts challenge me to assess and strive for improvement. Something we should all do. Looking forward to your next post.
I have used similar strategies in my engineering life namely SWOT chart Analysis for individual performance that can also be applied to any assessment function. It can also be applied to any type of problem.
S Strengths, W Weaknesses, Opportunities and T Threats.
I found this type of analysis on complex engineering problems very useful when given a brainstorming session it certainly brought people into focus when the going got tough and really highlighted the priorities.
