to help oneself design projects towards sustainable outcomes one may consider testing the program idea resiliency with this heuristic

As a heuristic, this is a simplified visual representation of a complex process, which in this case is sustainable development. This representation includes stages that may offer suggestive ease for the direction of thought towards the creation of projects with more sustainable outcomes.

Though the heuristic may considerably present the Diagnose and Evaluate stages as beginning and concluding points, respectively, it is acknowledged that projects can be found in the midst of any of these stages and therefore it is not always necessary to start with ‘Diagnose’ in this regard.

Furthermore, the Evaluate stage does not necessarily have to be a project’s concluding stage, as when a project reaches this stage it may be revealed that the project will need amendments or adjustments and therefore it would be appropriate to reenter the design stage to account for these amendments or adjustments.

Lastly, the heuristic presents the ability to follow this process non-linearly, for example:

  • It may be appropriate to return to the Diagnose stage after the Design stage has begun to account for amendments or adjustments newly realized after Design has begun.

  • It may be appropriate to return to the Design stage from a minor Implement stage for project prototyping.

  • Or it may be appropriate to reference the Evaluate stages of prior projects to support the design of the developing project.

  • “Diagnose”

    • Consider OP Value “U” for undertaking which identifies an appropriate assumption of validity of lived-experience, evident accumulated knowledge by experience-based learning - otherwise experience of ‘going through it’ - as to what is discernibly attractive for self-serving energies that will support one’s experience for self-actualization.

    • Consider OP Value “P” for paramount, that life is to be valued and cherished, that as spiritual beings incarnate into hueman form is an opportunity to realize self-actualization and to do so one values proficiency in personal problem solving as a foundation to achieving their self-actualization, as we are all our own figurative problems and unique solutions.

  • “Design”

    • “Connect Resources” - Combine any resources that are anything from physical to non-physical energetic consciousness.

    • “Innovate” - Add a creative touch to expand on the resources and perspectives otherwise voices included.

    • “Include Inclusion” - Intentionally and critically, thoughtfully consider with/factor in/meditate dominant and alternative user and stakeholders perspectives, including the voice of the natural environment, balanced recognizing potential non-users/stakeholders, potential incomers, or excluded or exclusive, for example.

  • “Implement”

    • Action.

  • “Evaluate”

    • Consider all OP Values from “0” for a seed to “1” for the actualization of the growth from the seed into form of life experience for the soul/star that you, I, and we are! We create our heaven experienced on earth, so what outcomes of the project and program are recognized to have successfully achieved or are achieving healthy overall being for the hueman soul/spirit for one’s self-actualization opportunity and experience.
