5. List the findings that negate your assumptions

6. Consider the learning outcomes and if appropriate test new findings

Please do share your experiences with these models in the comments below.  I am building a portfolio of small business case studies and would love to include examples of what has worked well for you.

PS – If you need further help then give me a call on 07962 626604 to arrange a Skype session with me.
