clarify	Identify the problem space, audience, resources and constraints. Research the current state of the art.
ideate	Explore concepts and scenarios, express, ideate, design, and build agile proof-of-concepts. Pick one to test.
validate	Test concept and confirm it meets the goals and is plausible. Refine or repeat above steps as appropriate. Develop a plan for deployment.

All actions should be in service to the Goals, Vision and Values.

passion	Fire, drive, aspiration, positivity. Passion is infectious.
respect	Respect infers maturity, regard, awareness and releases ego.
