Practice the Discipline

Read the lens. Apply it to one real organizational condition. Leave with a clearer model, one evidence-bearing intervention, and greater capacity to decide what should happen next.

Discipline boundary. Some systems can be changed independently. Others require shared authority, domain expertise, or an embedded partnership. Knowing the difference is part of the practice.

Versioning is part of the evidence.

Do not erase the first model. Your initial interpretation is not a failed draft; it is the baseline from which learning becomes visible.

v0.1Initial working modelWhat you could see before the new evidence.

v0.1a-cIntermediate overlaysWhat ATP, Green Zone, trajectory, and incumbent lenses changed.

v0.2Evidence-informed modelWhat you now distinguish and would do differently.

Five deltas to record

Perceptual delta — what you notice now that you didn't before
Interpretive delta — what conclusions changed and why
Tool-kit delta — which OE instruments you actually used
Action delta — what you did differently in the live system
Capacity delta — what the organization can now do that it couldn't

Decide the appropriate next step
