(FSP)
CP: What is happening in the FS that reinforces the validity of your action goal
Stem: HMW (how might we)/IWWMW (In what ways might we)
KVP: the action goal or the important action verb
Purpose: What’s the positive outcome that may occur if the action is accomp­lished
FSP: the Parameters of the FS • Put time and beyond, i.e “In 2050 and beyond”

Step 2 - Other KEY VERB PHRASE

Step 3- Producing Solutions

You must come up with many ideas to accomplish the UP Parame­ters:
1. Key Verb Phrase
2. Purpose
3. within the FSP and beyond
USE WILL+ a verb
Who indicates who will implement the solution idea. Identify the group or person to carry out the solution.
What indicates the solution idea.
How describes how the solution idea will work
Why indicates why the solution idea will solve the UP (KVP & or what you will accomplish by implem­enting the solution idea.
