Work session between Shannon and I. Brainstorming on adilas core concepts. See attached for where we were working (word doc). Also, we were basing some of our discussion and efforts off of an older adilas formula flyer that shows business functions, application players, and adilas core concepts.

By way of a break through today, we decided that the adilas core concepts have two main categories and underlying groupings. Here are the 12 core concepts:

1. Capture & Record The Story
2. Groups, Players, Individuals, & Characters
3. Relationships
4. Trouble, Problems, Needs, & Goals
5. Decisions & Choices
6. Consequences (Cause & Effects)
7. Accountability
8. Permissions & Settings
9. Systems
10. Vision & Future Developments
11. Tech, Tools, & Maintenance
12. Objects & Data Over Time

The two main categories are: 1 - Elements of digital storytelling (numbers 1-6) and 2 -  How we adapt the digital environment (cloud/web) to track and record that story that is playing out (numbers 7-12). This is new for us and we were excited to see that there was a new classification within the adilas core concepts.

Like anything else, it is still kinda in flux and we don't know exactly what we have and what to do, but we are trying to refine things and boil things down. This is part of creating new content and verbage for the adilas system. Fun! We had a good session. Once again, if you want to see our raw notes, see the attached word document.

Also, we were thinking that number 1 (capture & record the story) was actually kinda like the end result - what we are aiming for or trying to get to.

We also felt like number 12 (objects & data over time) was actually how we enable the flow of the story to take place. The wording may be slightly different, but those are the concepts. Lots of interweaving pieces and give and take that goes on. Part of a living, breathing, system. Welcome to adilas!

At the end of the session, I did merge in some new code for Dustin as well.
