Looking Beneath the Previous Question The visible question in “Inclusive Technology Design: From Intention to Consistent Practice” may not be the deepest one. Behind a question about money may be fear. Behind a question about opportunity may be uncertainty about identity. Behind a question about leadership may be difficulty setting boundaries. Question: What deeper concern is influencing the decision but has not yet been stated openly?

A New Limited Experiment The idea in “Inclusive Technology Design: From Intention to Consistent Practice” can be tested without committing the full budget, reputation or schedule. Define the people involved, the action, resource ceiling, learning question and review date. The experiment should be large enough to expose a genuine constraint and small enough to stop safely.
