Answer to Question 1

Although IDEAS is presented as five steps, we do not have to go all the way through Step 5 before we correct our own thinking. The IDEAS process can fold back on itself whenever a thoughtful person realizes adjustments need to be made. For example, if the relevant information we developed in Step 2 indicates that we have been mistaken in identifying the problem, then we can go back to Step 1 and fix that before moving on. Or, if the options and consequences enumerated in Step 3 all are problematic, a person can go back and reconsider his or her priorities from Step 1 or revisit Step 2 to determine whether additional information might be available to assist in expanding the options. IDEAS is a thoughtful and reflective process, not rigidly linear. We never have to wait for Step 5 to correct mistakes or make improvements on the work of earlier steps.
