Research and engagement design

(See Phase E)

A research and engagement design should reflect your answers to the following questions:
• What do you most want to see happening in your project in the next two and a half months? ("Happening" refers both to process and content. It includes, but should not be limited by, who you might be able to influence and what you hope to influence them to do, a.k.a. audience and purpose. Take note of your evolving Governing Question .)
• What things might be blocking you from realizing this vision?
• What can you do to deal with the obstacles and realize the vision—what new directions do you need to move in?
• What achievable steps would move you in these directions?

You will have already done this if you completed the whole personal strategic planning process. If you have only done the practical vision stage or used some other process of reflection, you will need to do some brainstorming.
As part of this design restate your title and Governing Question. Check and revise these if needed. Do they match each other? Do they dictate what you actually have to do?
The design may be in note form provided you make evident the reasons for the sequence of steps you include.
