SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Execute the Develop phase of a Double Diamond engagement — diverge to generate and explore solution options. Dispatches to cogni-trends value-modeler and cogni-portfolio for proposition modeling. Use whenever the user wants to brainstorm solutions, generate options, or explore alternatives within a diamond engagement. Trigger phrases include "generate options", "what could we do", "solution ideas", "brainstorm solutions", "develop phase", "explore alternatives", "scenario planning", "model the propositions", "what are our options", "create strategic choices", "develop solutions", "D2 diverge", "option generation", "how could we solve this", "let's get creative", "value modeling", "solution space"

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Core concept: Develop is the divergent phase of the engagement, generating a rich option space before convergence.
  • Plugin-driven methods: Dispatches to cogni-trends (Value Modeling) and cogni-portfolio (Proposition Modeling) and supports scenario planning as guided in references.
  • Stakeholder governance: Includes mandatory quality gate reviews, scenario matrices, and option-synthesis workflows to structure decision-making.

Quick Start

Provide 4-6 strategic options and a 2×2 scenario matrix derived from Define outputs and available methods.

Frequently Asked Questions about consulting-develop

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate strategic options during the Develop phase of a project?▼

To generate strategic options during the Develop phase, you diverge from defined problems using cross-method synthesis like value modeling and scenario planning to explore a rich solution space before convergence.

What is scenario planning and how does it model propositions for solution alternatives?▼

Scenario planning structures strategic uncertainty into a 2x2 scenario matrix, while proposition modeling evaluates solution alternatives against stakeholder requirements to ensure option quality before selecting a path.

Can I use value modeling to brainstorm solution ideas from HMW questions?▼

Yes, value modeling synthesizes How Might We questions into strategic choices, applying TIPS frameworks to map potential value and generate 4-6 distinct strategic options for review.

Does stakeholder review impact proposition quality gates when exploring alternatives?▼

Yes, mandatory stakeholder reviews conduct multi-persona evaluations that directly trigger proposition quality gate results, ensuring generated alternatives meet governance standards before convergence.

What is the best way to structure a development review summary for portfolio propositions?▼

The best way to structure a development review summary is combining traceable sources, explicit assumptions, and proposition quality gate results into a comprehensive option synthesis document for stakeholder alignment.

When should I not use divergent option generation for solution strategy?▼

Avoid divergent option generation if you lack defined problem statements and HMW questions, as the Develop phase requires these Define-phase outputs to synthesize meaningful strategic choices effectively.
