1.1 Dragonfly Navigator

Guide a structured journey to define your challenge and create a Project Summary. Launch on platform.

What is it?

Dragonfly's Navigator is the strategic intelligence entry point that guides users through a structured 6-step conversational journey to thoroughly develop their topic, establish shared context, and create a comprehensive Project Summary that serves as the foundation for all subsequent strategic analysis across the Dragonfly ecosystem.

Why is it useful?

• Establish shared strategic context through systematic topic development that creates coherent foundation for all downstream analysis

• Generate comprehensive Project Summary with stakeholder identification, perspective selection, and driver analysis using Risk-Reward-Resilience framework

• Provide tailored lens pathway recommendations that connect user intent through perspectives to actionable strategic insights

• Create canonical data model that ensures consistency and integration across all subsequent framework applications

• Guide strategic framing decisions that determine analysis quality and relevance rather than allowing unfocused exploration

• Convert complex strategic challenges into structured, analysable components that enable systematic intelligence generation

How does it work?

The Dragonfly Navigator applies systematic strategic framing methodology to transform user topics into comprehensive Project Summaries that guide strategic analysis journeys.

Step 1: Strategic Objective Clarification and Goal Definition

• Focus: Identify core topic and desired outcomes through guided questioning that reveals strategic intent and success criteria

• Example: User exploring "digital transformation for healthcare system" clarified to specific goal of "implementing patient data interoperability to improve care coordination and reduce administrative burden"

Step 2: Stakeholder Landscape Mapping and Actor Identification

• Focus: Systematically identify primary stakeholders, their roles, power levels, and strategic relevance to the challenge

• Example: Healthcare transformation mapping revealing 8 key stakeholders including hospital administrators, physicians, IT departments, patients, regulators, technology vendors, and insurance providers with power and stake assessment

Step 3: Analytical Perspective Selection and Viewpoint Definition

• Focus: Choose strategic vantage point that determines analysis focus and stakeholder prioritisation for subsequent framework applications

• Example: Selecting hospital administrator perspective to focus analysis on operational implementation challenges, resource requirements, and change management needs rather than patient experience or regulatory compliance

Step 4: Risk-Reward-Resilience Driver Analysis and Force Identification

• Focus: Identify key strategic drivers across risk factors, reward opportunities, and resilience requirements that shape the strategic landscape

• Example: Digital transformation analysis identifying cybersecurity risks, operational efficiency rewards, and system adaptability resilience factors that influence implementation strategy

Step 5: Project Summary Generation and Documentation

• Focus: Synthesize all inputs into comprehensive Project Summary that provides shared context for all subsequent strategic analysis

• Example: Creating structured summary with topic definition, stakeholder profiles, chosen perspective, driver analysis, and background context that serves as consistent reference for all framework applications

Step 6: Strategic Lens Pathway Design and Framework Recommendation

• Focus: Recommend tailored sequence of analytical frameworks that build logically from context through insights to actionable strategic guidance

• Example: Recommending pathway starting with Stakeholder Analysis, followed by Organizational Dynamics, Technology Adoption Curves, and Implementation Planning to address healthcare transformation systematically

Turning Dragonfly Navigator into Action

• Use systematic strategic framing rather than ad hoc topic exploration to ensure comprehensive foundation for strategic analysis

• Create comprehensive Project Summary that serves as canonical reference for all subsequent framework applications rather than allowing context drift across analysis

• Follow recommended lens pathways that build logically toward strategic insights rather than random framework selection that lacks coherent analytical progression
