Ends vs. Means Exercise INSTRUCTIONS On a blank sheet of paper Like this. Step 1. Draw 4 points that represent the 4 corners of a box or square, about two inches on a side. Step 2. Draw a line from the upper left point to the lower right point. Step 3. Draw a line from the upper right point to the lower left point. Step 4. Draw a horizontal line connecting the bottom two points. Step 5. Mark another point approximately 1 inch below the middle of the horizontal line. Step 6. Connect the upper left point to this new point Step 7. Connect the upper right point to this new point.
What do you have? A Star !!!
QuestionIf I asked you to draw a star would you need the step-by-step instructions? Of course not ! So what’s the point?
Give people the ends and let them figure out the means. And Start Seeing Stars !
Bonus Question How many stars were on the previous page? 28 How many guessed between 26 and 30?
And the closing point…. RBA / OBAis about starting with ends and working backward to means. So, for example, Ask people to turn the curve on CHILD ABUSE RATES….. Ask people to turn the curve on SCHOOL ATTENDANCE RATES… Ask people to turn the curve on RATES OF AIR OR WATER POLLUTION…. AND LET THEM FIGURE OUT “HOW.”
THANKS ! ’s
