5-D Process

 

Define/Design Looping

 

It's a Recursive/Reentrant Iterative Process

  

Creation and development is a chaotic process. Seeing speaking as a performing art, approaches differ, not only speaker to speaker, but, at least for me, program to program. While the five steps I follow are shown in graphical form, my program development is usually less disciplined.

  

1. Define

2. Design

 

I use a variety of creation/development techniques – storyboarding, mind mapping, sticky notes, flow charting, spontaneity and brute force – I find the key to successful development letting go and fulfilling the program's premise.

  

Program Premise:

Once I know the program goal as set by my client – topic, length time of day, setting, their objective, format – I construct a program premise by completing the fillowing sentence stem:

  

"When I sign off from this program the audience will have experienced..."

 

From this I create a time line with details.

   

1. Define  |  2. Design  |  3. Deliver  |  4. Debrief  |  5. Decompress
