Integration Exercise
This week we are having you recode your mission by following our total project alignment process which begins with clarifying and identifying your mission and ends with an actionable plan. In the exercises below you will further refine and deepen your mission, model for success, and the tactical assets you’ll need to develop to create your global game.
The full instructions are in the RECODE MANUAL AND WORKBOOK for Module 7 with a summary of the exercises below.
1. Identifying Your Mission: This exercise will have you exploring 4 considerations that will help you to recode your mission. The ‘ideal’ mission will occur where these four considerations overlap. Next you’ll use explore the core motivational drivers that are best suited to you and your project as a means to create value for your game and then will arrive at a quantified calling statement that will help you to take your mission and form it into a statement that is specific, measurable, and actionable.
2. Model For Success: In this exercise you will be exploring various models of success both within your industry and innovative models in other industries to find one that you can emulate. Similar to what you did in Module 6 in your systems map, you can deepen your evaluation of the various strategies and models explored and select the one that is most aligned with your mission.
3. Tactical Asset Map: After choosing your model for success you will begin to list each of the key tactical assets that that model relies on for it’s success putting these assets into the right sequence so that you end up building or improving them in the right order. This exercise will ensure that you have at least 1 asset in each of the 5 key areas and a strategy that you’ll be using to develop that asset.
Self Reflections
Reflections exercises are one or more questions that we’d like you to be in deep consideration of for the entire week. These are meant to be shared with your family, friends, and community so that they can offer you a more complete 360 view of yourself, your identity, and your reality.
Everyone has blind spots. These are areas where we are less developed that are outside our view. Getting reflections will point out things that you might not ever know yourself.
In addition, the more you consider these reflection questions the more likely you’ll be able to break through your current level of thinking and use the exercises to leap frog into a new level of consciousness.
These questions will be posted on the Recode Facebook Forum where they are meant to be responded to by you from week to week. Here are this weeks reflection exercises:
- Talk to the 5 people closest to you and ask them (before you share your mission or work from this module) what they think your mission is. Listen for how well you have already communicated what your mission is (if at all). Then, share with them your mission and quantified calling. Then ask them the following 4 questions:
- How real, tangible, and believable do they think your mission is?
- How enrolled are they in your mission?
- How clear is the opportunity for them to participate?
- What are they likely to do different in their life because of your mission?
