When an individual wishes to solve a complex problem, accomplish a goal, or complete a comprehensive project, there are a multitude of preparations to be made, resources to mobilize, and actions to take. This myriad of options contributes to confusion, wasted time, exhaustion, discouragement, frustration, and often a lack of action taken at all.
The Mission Adaptive Plan (“MAP”) is a goal-oriented, task-based navigation system for an individual (the “Beneficiary”) to follow during their pursuit of a specific personal feat. The MAP draws its unique aspects through online and real life interactions leveraging social networks, social support networks, public resources, print media, stakeholders, volunteers, and individual wisdom of those who have accomplished a similar personal feat. The summation of a MAP and all of its components allow the Beneficiary to follow a logical pathway to success and serve as an interactive navigation tool for online social networks.
At present, traditional social networks, such as MySpace and Facebook, have proven to be an excellent tool for networking, broadcasting information about oneself, and initiating relationships. Where social networks remain unproven is in their ability to organize and mobilize their members toward a greater individual or social good. A Mission Adaptive Plan (“MAP”) is an empowerment mechanism that, when combined with a traditional social network, allows individual users to accomplish a personal feat by following a detailed guide, harnessing the wisdom of others in the network, and embracing the collective support lent to the individual from the greater social network. As an individual develops their MAP, it becomes an alternative navigation mechanism for their social network experience and generates an acceleration of activity throughout the social network.
A MAP can be used to get results for something as simple as planning an event, or for something as complex as a six year battle against cancer. Its purpose is to put the user on a logical pathway to success that is based upon collective intelligence, milestone accomplishment, resources allocation, and an environment of support.
