- try, learn, iterate, adapt
- scale through diffusion
what is the interactive process of PDIA?
- INitial problem analysis
- indetify action steps.
- take action
- check-in
- sustain authority and legitimacy
(if problem solved exit) - adapt and interate
(follow to step 2)
an strategy for action or public policy (inputs and outputs) should be:

2. latent practice
3. positive deviance
4. external best practice
what is the design thinking?

what are the key elements of design thinking?
1/ people centered
2. highly creative
3. hands-on
4. Iterative
what are key steps in design thinking?
- enpathize
- define
- ideate
- prototype
- test
what is a monitoring?
an ongoing reporting. Ongoing activity, focus on reporting implementation of activities and interim results (outputs) according to work plans.
what is evaluation?
