Intro to Drîm

What are we talking about here?

Intro to Drîm

1. Drîm is about improving things dramatically.
2. Expect 100's of % improvement ....
3. The essence is to see constraints as levers.
4. Drîm provides a MCAYO way of finding the levers - reducing the needs for re-invention
5. Drîm is highly compatible - with all other frameworks: by intent, definition & design.
6. Drîm is based on other work & is evolving rapidly.
7. Drîm is for you if your aspirations exceed your expectations & you revel in the counter-intuitive.

The Drîm Dimensions

The primary leverage opportunity-pattern types.

The Drîm Dimensions

Flow: The speed & rate that stuff is produced.

Ingenuity: Simple counter-intuitive solutions.

Change: Transitioning from old to new.

Mastery: Knowledge, expertise & experience.

Synergy: 2 + 2 = 5: things & people.

Understanding: Alignment of beliefs & reality.

Drîm is way easier if you know the Drîm Dimension Leverage Patterns.

Drîm Impact Expectations

What can you expect in your seemingly intractable situation?

Drîm Impact Expectations

You can expect to improve things by 25% to 50% within 2-3 weeks within your role & within 2-3 months, within your organisation, if you give it a fair whack.

You should notice the impact within a few hours & days, respectively, though.

The more this looks like Mission Impossible, the more certain & significant the gains are likely to be.

It's amazing what happens when you switch from fighting the levers to using them!

The Drîm Principles

The guiding fundamentals of Drîm.

The Drîm Principles

1. Focus on what will make the most impact - not on what we can make the most impact on.
2. Take all stakeholders & all timeframes into consideration.
3. Embrace imperfection: progress & momentum beat perfection: every.single.time.
4. Choose when to use pull - instead of push.
5. Drîm challenges are drîm levers in disguise.
6. As simple as possible - but no simpler.
7. IDK=IDK (I don't know means I don't know).

The Drîm Manifesto

Dramatic Improvement is ALWAYS possible.

The Drîm Manifesto

Fact: Drîm is always feasible - always.

Key: Leverage - it increases with complexity.

Problem: We can't see the levers.

Reason: Multi-dimensional complexity.

Insight: Reality comprises repeating patterns.

Solution: Use them as cognitive scaffolding.

Implications: Anyone can learn to do it.

MCAYO Drîm Templates

Translating concept into tangible benefit.

MCAYO Drîm Templates

1. Templates provide a thinking & communication structure, while increasing - freedom & flexibilty.
2. Multi-choice templates are quicker & easier to use.
3. The ability to add your own option enables ....
4. Example populated-templates help people get a feel for the finished product ....
5. Guidelines & simple self-tests ensure that we gain the most benefit with the least effort.

MCAYO templates enable us to apply any template, concept, model or framework directly, ....

The Drîm Mindset

What is & how to adopt the drîm nmindset.

The Drîm Mindset

1. Look expecting to find.
2. Expect & manage cognitive dissonance.
3. Expect & manage cognitive bias, logical fallacy & unconscious incognizance.
4. Reverse-engineer to include everything essential & nothing superfluous.
5. Combine rather than choose between alternatives.
6. Use Deliberate Resourcefulness & Agency .

The Drîm Method

Three stages following the same cycle.

The Drîm Method

1. Three Interactive Stages
   1. Solution Design
   2. Implementation Design.
   3. Implementation Management.
2. One- to three-step Cycle
   1. Adopt the Drîm Mindset: Look in drim-space, not settle-space.
   2. Find Solution Matches: With Drîm patterns.
   3. Build a Custom Drîm Solution: Find patterns across inadequate solutions.

Integrating Drîm with other Frameworks

.

Integrating Drîm with other Frameworks

We advise against replacing your current framework with drîm - add, infuse, combine & integrate instead.

1. Step/Option 1: Use Drîm as (one of) your go-to's when (a) you're stuck or to (b) sanity check or (c) TEASE) more from your situation.
2. Step/Option 2: Infuse drîm thinking, techniques & solutions into your current framework(s).
3. Step/Option 3: Make Drîm your default framework & turn to others when (a) you're stuck or to (b) sanity check or (c) TEASE more from your situation.

The Drîm Concept

Every single situation or thing can be improved dramatically: if you know how.

The Drîm Concept

Any situation or thing can be improved dramatically - once we see the improvement constraints as improvement levers.

It's hard to see the levers for what they are, at first - but once you do, it's surprising what impact you can have.

And, because all levers follow the same set of lever patterns, once you can see them in one situation, it's easy to find them in another.

This portal focuses on presenting the most common lever patterns to convey the basic concept to you.
