Methodology and Strategies
In the first instance, EBD methodology could be divided in four subsequent steps:
- reviewing existing research literature to select significant findings and recommendations;
- matching referenced findings with data gathered from site visits, surveys results, subject matter experts;
- predicting the outcomes of design decisions;
- tracking the positive outcomes for design implementation.
Other sources provide different and more specific proceedings to guide practical applications to achieve EBD objectives. Some of them are listed below.

Famous quotes containing the words methodology and/or strategies:
“One might get the impression that I recommend a new methodology which replaces induction by counterinduction and uses a multiplicity of theories, metaphysical views, fairy tales, instead of the customary pair theory/observation. This impression would certainly be mistaken. My intention is not to replace one set of general rules by another such set: my intention is rather to convince the reader that all methodologies, even the most obvious ones, have their limits.”
—Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)
“By intervening in the Vietnamese struggle the United States was attempting to fit its global strategies into a world of hillocks and hamlets, to reduce its majestic concerns for the containment of communism and the security of the Free World to a dimension where governments rose and fell as a result of arguments between two colonels’ wives.”
—Frances Fitzgerald (b. 1940)
