5. Designing a Transition

When you have characterized the differences between the problem state and the desired state, or between having or not having a useful skill, this will usually suggest what changes are required to get from one state to the other. How can you design a sequence of changes to make the transition smooth, efficient, and effective? Keep in mind that a given set of changes may be very difficult when made in one sequence, and very easy when done in a different order. If there are a number of shifts to be made, decide which will probably be easier or more comfortable to make first, and then experiment to find out the best sequence of these shifts. Modeling someone who spontaneously went through a transition successfully will provide one effective sequence, but there is no guarantee that it is the best sequence.

At this point you should have an outline of a model of how to achieve the desired outcome. It is probably missing some distinctions and there will be certain clients for whom it won't work, but it will work in at least some cases.
