SADIE (which is the acronym for Survey, Analysis, Design, Implement, Evaluate) is one of the best known land-based permaculture design processes. With its clear, easy and concrete structure, it is very user-friendly.

For my project in OP4 I used a very similar design process for our land-based design, for more information go to the "design phase" in this report.

For my Learning Review, I decided for SADIE, because I am familiar with it and I wanted to try to use it for a non-land-based design. In the following I show how I used the design phases:

Survey:
The survey phase is about collecting information for an overall impression of a specific topic or project.
The Surveying Phase for my project “Learning Review” includes the following:

• Collect information about my second Action Learning Cycle
• Reflect on my general "Surveying Patterns"

Analysis:
The analysis phase is a systematic examination of the Survey. The main goal is to analyse and assess different components and consider the relationships and effects between elements. Depending on the project various tools and methods can be applied.
For me, the most important was to relate my projects to permaculture. Through this, I can see how balanced and diverse my project work was in relation to permaculture.

• Analyse with the help of the permaculture flower my implemented projects
• Reflect on my analyzation skills

Design:
In the design phase, the ideas and components are chosen and placed to create beneficial and creative relationships and solutions for a resilient system.
Because my project “Learning Review” is reflective I want to reflect on my growth as (permaculture) designer. I will examine the design skills I gained during this Action Learning Cycle.

Implement:
In the implementation phase an application, plan or model gets realized. Firstly this can include a realistic time and resource plan with manageable steps. Secondly, the implementation phase includes the real-life implementation.
As I am working on a reflective project I want to spend attention in this phase on my personal implementation strategies and reflect on my growth as Action Learner with the help of the Kolbs Model (experiential learning theory).

Evaluate:
The evaluation phase reflects how the design and planning correspond to the implementation and why things have changed.
As my project has no typical “Design” and “Implementation” phases I want to give a cummulative evaluation of my second Action Learning Cycle

• Evaluation of different fields in my Action Learning Cycle
• My evaluation skills
