Goals articulation
Formulating my goals has been an accumulative/iterative process of many feedback loops coming together over time. See Un/learning goals map top of right column. The refinement process for my present goals started with my Learning Review (OP5).
- Reviewing my OPs, my OP reviews, and my Skillflex chart (self-tracking system of last year).
- Editing and updating my Résumé which includes; my professional, political and patrix goals, my project goals, and my personal and peer goals.
- Using my guild and advisor meetings to gain new insights on what I wanted to accomplish this year.
- Setting my goals for this project by questioning what were the gaps in my last years LIPD.
- Brainstorming my un/learning goals in a mind map (right column).
- Looking at other associates LIPDs for best practices. See right column of Evidence and Resource page for a annotated list of these LIPDs.
- Revisiting and tweaking all these goals as change happened.

Simha's Allies
My allies
In response to feedback I got on my first LIPD. See #2 in left column on Evidence and resources page. I have created the allies mindmap above. This is a place I can revisit during my projects to gain insights on who I might ask for support or to add to the lists as new allies are revealed.
