Outcome development and evaluation

Objective:

Critically analyse their own and others’ outcomes and fitness-for-purpose determinations in order to inform the development of ideas for feasible outcomes. Undertake a critical evaluation that is informed by ongoing experimentation and functional modelling, stakeholder feedback, trialling in the physical and social environments, and an understanding of the issue as it relates to the wider context. Use the information gained to select, justify, and develop an outcome. Evaluate this outcome’s fitness for purpose against the brief. Justify the evaluation, using feedback from stakeholders and demonstrating a critical understanding of the issue that takes account of all contextual dimensions.

SUMMARY:
Inform the development of new ideas by evaluating a situation, and then create a relevant action plan.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!

+ Investigate the purpose of a situation, and the methods that are used to make it work.

+ Critically analyse the way things are turning out for other people and yourself in the situation.

+ Use various sources of information to write about your understanding of what is going on.
+ Write a statement, proposing your strategy for the project; using the information gathered and your own ideas.

+ Begin to solve the issue by creating concepts that compliment your brief, stakeholder feedback and research.

Think about the future possibilities -

How can production be improved?
How can the quality can be improved?
How can customer services be improved?
How can the work environment be improved?

+ Use the knowledge gained to develop your ideas.
+ Justify your developments by writing about how the situation can be improved.

+ Show your work to ‘The Stakeholders’; asking them to comment on the suitability of your work. Listen closely to their feedback.
+ Use feedback gained, and all of the knowledge that you have obtained so far to create a final solution that solves the problem outlined in ‘The Brief’.
NOTE: Your final solution is most likely to be adapted from solutions that you have previously worked on.

+ Examine ‘The Outcome’ and evaluate it’s fitness for purpose against ‘The Brief’.
+ Justify your work by referring to your research.

+ Use all of the insight that you are gaining to understand what is working well, and how the situation can be improved.
