STM
Simplexity Transformative Model (STM)
We want to introduce you to a model used in this book to help you achieve your objective. Our discussion will be based on this model and driven by the following four key aspects.
- Why is this idea important and what are the benefits? This is a crucial question we should ask when adopting anything in our lives. If we do not understand the importance and benefits of the core idea, we will not be motivated to pursue it. It is human nature. When updating the model, we must be careful and consider all the benefits needed. Sometimes, you may not need many reasons to make a change; just one good reason can be good enough.
- When we consider doing something, our first thoughts often revolve around the difficulties, challenges, and drawbacks that may prevent us from taking action on something important. Write down all the challenges in the corresponding box and remember that there can be compelling reasons or just one based on how you assess the situation. Some challenges may not directly relate to the benefits but still have an impact, so add them to the list.
- Next, we need to outline our strategies or approach. These strategies should help us achieve the benefits while addressing the challenges and drawbacks. They should align with both the "Why" box and the "Challenges" box. Strategies can take various forms, such as activities, practices, approaches, or tasks. We need as many strategies as necessary to achieve our desired outcomes, overcome challenges, and obtain benefits. In our book, we recommend a minimum of three strategies or approaches.
- Once we have aligned our strategies in an action plan, we must start implementing this plan in our daily lives. Begin with the simplest tasks until you get the hang of the process. Continue with this implementation, which will help you build your skills in the core area. You can also seek support from a coach, friends, or colleagues to assist you with your action plan. Your action plan should be implementable, trackable, and measurable.
After creating the model and its strategies, apply each strategy in your daily life with care to achieve measurable improvements. You can define your own metrics to measure progress and the effectiveness of your actions. The best way to measure is by asking for feedback from your team, friends, manager, or family to see if they have noticed any positive changes. There is a formal method for measurement that will be covered in coaching using a tool.
Be prepared for the fact that any visible change takes time, and it may take at least six months for others to notice. Keep implementing your approach consistently during this time and make adjustments as needed.
