In FLOW, there are some key ideas,
and many of those have to pass through the filters of Ready,
Willing, Able & Fit.
Let me define these, as they may
actually qualify as an element or Prime, as I've noted, but
for now, a TPOV will be sufficient. I do think these are
meta-strategies, but let me let you make that judgment.
Ready:
Are resources available, are the
necessary components of scaffolding available, and can we draw
from funds, or necessary components with which to make it
happen, IF it's ready to happen. Often, we are just not ready.
It might not be the right time, place, or even the right
reasons might be incomplete missing or just not ready yet.
Like fine wine, it needs to be ready, the same as baking
bread, until it's ready, it's not bread.
Willing:
Has nothing to do with free will,
or self-control, discipline or any other like area. It has to
do with motivation. Does the person have standing motivation
sufficient to bring into play the need to lean into this
process, or project. If they are not in alignment with their
own motives, then you might as well, work, or not, until
willingness emerges. A lot of the time, pressure and tension
will seeminly force a person to be willing, but if there is
not a real thread woven through what it is you are involved,
or involving them in, you are wasting a lot of time and
resources.
Able:
This has to do with the actual
abilities required in this process or movement, or design. Can
the person bring to bear when required the necessary ability
to do what is required in the way it is required, at the level
of quality and frequency at which whatever is required to
bring about success.
Fit:
Is whatever is happening, the right
thing for the person now, near and far, and if it's not, do
you know the tradeoffs involved? Fitness has to do with the
fitting together, or meshworks involved in making sure you
have the best fit possible, the most EES design, in view of
the circumstances.
Collaboration
depends on Ready, Willing, Able and Fit and what those
look like to each of us in a variety of conditions.
