The Drim (Dramatic Improvement) Method lays out a simple way to get the most benefit from the Drim Framework with the least effort.
At each point, ask if the solution you've found is good enough, for now. If so, run with it. If not, move on to the next step in the method
Redo - explaining, not (only?) which version to use, but how to apply it to your situation (as per the Drim Method: Story | Domain | Arena | Dimension Pattern | Custom Dimensions Patterns)
The Prodsol version has the benfit of many thousands of hours work over 19 years - standing on the shoulders of giants who have gone before.
It's constantly evolving - at an ever-accelerating rate as more of it gets published and responded and contributed to from all over the world.
You should be able to apply it to your situation directly, with a little thought. It will be a lot easier - when you start out, anyway - if you choose the related Arena on this site:

Once you have you've got your head around the dimensions within the latest Prodsol Drim Framework, you will be well-placed to adapt the Prodsol version for your own use:
The primary objective is usefulness and ease-of-use, so get hung up on the (ever-evolving) Prodsol way, if the way things are presented or articulated don't work for you: the breakthrough is having a framework that enables one to address the various dimensions independently and in concert.
Here are some steps you could follow:
The Drim Dimensions are perspectives - opportunity types - for securing dramatic improvement in any challenging situation or thing.
The dimensions are really the top level of a deeper taxonomy - and each dimension contains and applies to every toher dimension.
Feel free to adapt this set of Drim Dimensions to suit your world, toolset and way of thinking - this set is merely one way of looking at things.
We advise you to familiarise yourself and take advantage of this first - as there are many thousands of hours of research, thought and work behind their selection.
Every challenging situation or thing is a flow-system - and so benefits from the application counter-intuitive of dramatic improvement flow-improvement patterns.
Ingenuity focuses on individual and collective genius - coming up with smarter, better, cheaper, more sustainable and predictable outcomes.
The problem with ingenuity is that it's extremely challenging - biologically - to come up with new outside-the-box solutions and insights.
Deliberately generating and integrating alternative ways of enhancing key dimensions of an evolving solution prototype enables us to escape this physiological constraint.
Applying patterns that resolve the common contradictions between physical properties accelerates things even further.
Having a perfect solution is of only academic value without the ability to make the change from the old way of doing things to the new way.
The problem is that we are so familiar with the old way that we can follow it automatically, while the new way is unproven, untested and full of risks and kinks.
The solution is to collaborate in creating simple frameworks for identifying and mitigating risks and ironing out kinks - and to give people the opportunity to become adept at the new way, over time, before abandoning the old way.
The trick is to make the new way way more compellingly attractive, appealing and addictive than the old way, in the short-term – for all parties.
Mastery is about becoming - individually and collectively - so good at challenging things that we can do them quickly and automatically.
The problem with learning new things beyond our current capability is that we learn best from (many) mistakes - and opportunities are relatively uncommon, so it takes a long time to achieve it.
The solution is to deliberately identify the most common remaining success and failure modes - and their earliest symptoms - ahead of time - so that we can apply deep practice techniques to grow our capability, at increasing speed, in the face of growing complexity and under increasing pressure, over time,
Deliberately forging synergy from dysergy (lack of synergy) and antergy (anti-synergy) offers huge oportunities, because we are so inept at it.
The problem with creating synergy is that our brains are wired to see conflicts, differences and incompatibilities far more easily than similarities, combinations and compatibilities.
The solution is familiarity with the most common forms of synergy - elusive concepts to the uninformed brain - and how they can be fashioned from the most common forms of dysergy (lack of synergy) and antergy (anti-senergy).
This enables us to deliberately identify and capitalise on synergy opportunities.
Meaning is a what motivates us - our motivations and beliefs and how they inhibit and drive individual and collective performance and fulfilment.
Meaning and purpose - immediate or ultimate - drives all human activity and provides huge untapped opportunity for dramatic improvement.
The challenge with keying into meaning is that it is elusive and not as well-defined, logically grounded, accessible or easy to articulate as we may like to think.
The secret is to recognise that it's fundamentally about our perceived significance within the world we choose to live in - and our value system (what we think is important) and the mental model we have of how things work.

Is it for you?
Dramatic Improvement is ALWAYS possible.
It's a never-ending feast!
Dramatic improvement is eminently feasible in EVERY single situation - without exception.
It doesn't matter how challenging the situation is - or how much time we have - we can always secure dramatically better outcomes and experiences than we are currently securing.
It's perfectly - unavoidably - natural to be sceptical of this claim, but it is demonstrably, unequivocally true.
There are no exceptions: every single situation can be improved dramatically - no matter how intractable it may seem.
The key is LEVERAGE: the more challenging the situation, the greater the leverage opportunity.
Dramatic improvement arises from leverage. Dramatic improvements can only be caused by leverage.
Truly challenging situations are challenging because they're dynamically complex - strong and complex interactions between the situation's elements.
So the more challenging the situation (the greater the dynamic complexity) the greater the leverage - the more dramatic the potential for improvement.
The problem is, WE CAN'T SEE the leverage points – not that they aren't there.
There is always another level of leverage – hidden, in plain hindsight, in the reality beyond the one we can currently see. The problem is that we can't see those leverage points, until we see them, because they are beyond our current capability to see - not because they aren't there.
One of the primary reasons that we can't see leverage points, is because they are counter-intuitive to the previous level of insight. It's only when we see and truly understand them that they begin to make sense.
The solution is to use Universal Leverage Patterns as cognitive scaffolding to find the next level of leverage opportunities.
Although unconscious incognizance prevents us from seeing the next-level leverage points themselves, it doesn't prevent us from seeing the repeating patterns that they follow.
Once we can see the patterns across the challenges we face - and the patterns across the interventions we can think of (especially the counter-intuitive ones) we can use these patterns as templates and exemplars – cognitive scaffolding – for finding the next-level leverage points.

Drim solution patterns for departments and functions.
This is a set of high-level drim solution patterns for the most common organisational departments / functional areas.
In due course, we'll create dedicated pages for each department - and add the less common departments - as demand and interest requires.
Check out the (sibling) General section of the Organisational Drim Solution Arenas for solutions that apply across all or most departments and functional areas.
The market opportunity always exceeds the demand we're seeing. Here's why:
Solution: Disseminate - through the networks that influence ideal client decision-makers the most - a highly-targeted, client-perspective-focused need-diagnostic, mapped directly into our product/service portfolio.
How to accelerate Sales dramatically.
How to increase availability, while reducing total inventory and synchronise with marketing.
Key solution patterns include:
How to improve Production throughput, quality and responsivemness drmatically.

Drim Solutions secure dramatic improvement in performance and fulfilment for all concerned.
Drim Solutions are simple and (of necessity) counter-intuitive and invariably take advantage of (rather than fighting) the situational forces that constrain the improvement we're seeking.
The primary drim solution arenas are:
Dramatic improvement solutions for oneself and interaction with others.
Dramatic improvement solutions for organisations.
Dramatic improvement solutions for physical and virtual groups of people and their environments.
Advances in technology and communication have brought us virtual communities - often at the cost of the local communities. There's a lot we can do - individually and collectively - to both enrich virtual communities and strengthen local communities.
Dramatic improvement solution for regions and nations.
The opportunity for improvement at larger scale is even more dramatic than at smaller scale - and local and central government are even less productive, efficient and rewarding than organisations are.
