Section Two
Five Phases of the LASC Process
In Section 2, you will be guided on a journey through each of the five LASC phases:
- Phase 1: Foundational Readiness Planning where a team is either built or strengthened by stating its goals for the LASC process; establishing team ground rules and roles and responsibilities; and analyzing baseline knowledge and need for additional training in the Foundational Principles.Â
- Phase 2: Define the Challenge & Create the Vision includes stating a community or organizational challenge; exploring its root causes; selecting one root cause to center the LASC Learning Plan; and developing a time-bound desired future state and vision that addresses the challenge.Â
- Phase 3: Design a Learning Plan includes an exploration of what knowledge, skill, and attitude changes are needed to address the conditions of systems change and implement the vision.Â
- Phase 4: Implement & Evaluate guides your team through implementation and identifies opportunities to evaluate your LASC Learning Plan.Â
- Phase 5: Reflect & Revise includes processes and tips to strengthen the Learning Plan to influence the next cycle – when you return to Phase 1 to revisit the team composition, etc. or to another Phase to revisit root causes of your challenge.
It’s important to note that the Framework is not always linear in practice. Each phase or component may require revisiting the ones before it, or you may find yourself working on several phases simultaneously.
Section 2 references a blank LASC worksheet for you and your team to work through, as well as a completed example. These resources are available in Section 3 as well as via the buttons below.
