At times, we've all had to improvise. Perhaps the plan for doing something didn't work for some unforeseeable reason, and it was necessary to "think on the spot." Maybe plans for a day-long outing fell through because of weather, timing, or some attraction being unexpectedly closed-so another outing had to be planned quickly.

Maybe a machine did not work properly, and had to be fixed or replaced. Recall a time when you and your family or friends had to "field-fit." Use this form to explain the situation and analyze how you used your combination of Patterns to handle it successfully.

What caused it not to work, and when did you recognize that it would not work?

What change did you make in planning, in equipment, in the steps of a process, and so on, to reach your original goal?

Write a one-sentence summary of the experience that begins with the following phrase: "I used (name the Pattern or Patterns) to...."

How else might you have "field-fitted" to reach your goal?

Thinking back, how often do you find yourself "field-fitting" and using your Learning Patterns with intention in order to succeed?
