What are you trying to work through?
Whether it's a problem, an opportunity or a destination, we get underneath it to understand what is actually happening, why it matters and who is affected.
Pulling it apart
- Where do we start?
- With what you've already noticed. You usually sense something needs to change — or that something is worth doing — before you can name it. We start there rather than with a template.
- What actually happens?
- Conversations with the people doing the work, a look at how decisions get made, and time spent watching the business run rather than reading about it.
- How long does it take?
- Days, not months. Long enough to be useful, short enough that nothing stalls while we're looking.
What this looks like in practice
- Time with leadership, and with the people two levels down
- A plain-English description of what's really going on
- The problem you thought you had, next to the one you actually have
