Brushing your teeth!<\/p>\n

Skills include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Opening the tube of toothpaste<\/li>\n
  2. Putting toothpaste on the brush<\/li>\n
  3. Brushing<\/li>\n
  4. Rinsing the brush<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Pretty simple!<\/p>\n

    But what happens if you change the order, such as:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Rinsing the brush<\/li>\n
    2. Brushing<\/li>\n
    3. Putting toothpaste on the brush<\/li>\n
    4. Opening the tube of toothpaste<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Not quite as effective\u2026!<\/p>\n

      And, of course, there are questions like:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • What kind\/brand of toothpaste?<\/li>\n
      • How much toothpaste to use?<\/li>\n
      • How long to brush?<\/li>\n
      • Manual or electric?<\/li>\n
      • What kind of motion(s) to use?<\/li>\n
      • When do you need to replace the brush?<\/li>\n
      • How much post-brushing rinsing to do?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Skills on their own are not enough.<\/p>\n

        A stepwise process helps but still leaves much unaddressed:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • When should I brush?<\/li>\n
        • What should I brush?<\/li>\n
        • Where should I brush?<\/li>\n
        • How should I brush?<\/li>\n
        • Why should I brush?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Es metodolog\u00eda<\/em> that provides the full set of answers!<\/p>\n

          Now, contemplate a set of demo skills vs a demonstration methodology: a set of skills on their own are not sufficient to answer the full set of questions. The result is ineffective demos.<\/p>\n

          And contemplate a set of discovery skills vs a discovery methodology: same challenge. The result is poor discovery.<\/p>\n

          Methodology provides the full set of answers!<\/p>\n
