Figure 1
The flowchart shows five vertical stages labeled from left to right as follows: “Identify barriers to success”, “Identify a source of industry inspiration”, “Evaluate source industry practices”, “Synthesize explanatory principles”, and “Derive parallel practices”. The “Identify barriers to success” stage shows a circular shape labeled “Target Industry” surrounded by curved arrows forming a loop around it. Two dashed arrows and one solid arrow point from this circle toward the next stage. The “Identify a source of industry inspiration” stage shows a circular shape labeled “Source Industry” surrounded by curved arrows forming a loop and connected by a solid arrow from the previous stage. Two larger shaded circles labeled “Industry” are positioned above and below it and are connected by dashed arrows from the previous stage. Three solid arrows extend from the “Source Industry” circle toward the next stage. The “Evaluate source industry practices” stage shows three vertically aligned dashed rectangular boxes, each labeled “Activity”, “Task”, “Process”, and “Method”, with arrows pointing to the next stage. The “Synthesize explanatory principles” stage shows three vertically aligned wavy rectangular shapes, each labeled “Principle”, connected by arrows from the previous stage and pointing to the next stage. The “Derive parallel practices” stage shows three vertically aligned solid rectangular boxes, each labeled “Activity”, “Task”, “Process”, and “Method”, with arrows connecting from the corresponding “Principle” shapes, indicating the transformation of principles into parallel practices.The Real-to-Real method of cross-industry practice transfer.
