Dividers and Connectors Analysis (DCA) gives us a model of the context against which to test our understanding. Today’s model is good enough inasmuch as it helps us to rapidly see change. Today’s model is good enough inasmuch as we review it and revise it constantly based on the changes we observe.
 
DCA reduces the amount of information about the context to a manageable level, while maintaining a focus on the most important factors.

  1. Did you do the analysis with a team?
     
  2. Who are the actors?
     
  3. How likely is open conflict?
     
  4. Did you find a Divider/Connector for each category? Why not?
     
  5. Did you prioritize? Did you allow the local staff to lead this part of the discussion?
     
  6. Did you determine Options for the issues you raised? Why not?
