Determine an Engineering Focus

Below is a simple model of the challenge overview; please see Figure 1 below.
To the left, we plan and focus on problemation. To the right, we explore solutions through the lens of ideation. We assessed that heuristics and tools like St!OMP and CATDOG are essential for this transformation. The word transformation in context is better understood as a journey.
Although each project may have different initialising success factors, it stands to reason that to establish the Engineering focus, we need to understand the risks and opportunities realistically by approaching this through probabilistic means.
In our current invocation of the employment journey, we have formulated three key strategies: Finding, Fitting and Forming. 1 These categories originated through observations made while actively “looking for work”. Their genesis is not from a text or isolated reflection. Instead, they are born of a conversation with a career coaching expert 2, resulting from expert thinking processes. Extending this idea of genesis, with any practice in prototyping and proof-of-concept, the goal is to build expertise. Then, applying expert thinking, we have demonstrative evidence.
In business terms, the exercise seeks to find correlating information about NER, fit it to the specified customer use-case (current thinking, the zeitgeist), and ‘form’ designs that meet the business capacity and group goals (approximated as Gestalt).
