Simple tools for difficult choices.
The problem
Real decisions are rarely settled by one ratio. They need a sensible model, a clear conversation, and an honest look at trade-offs.
The toolkit
- Force-field analysis — map the equilibrium, the driving forces, and the restraining forces
- 80/20 prioritisation — stop wasting time on the noise
- Option framing — lay out the choices clearly before arguing about them
- Scenario thinking — what happens if the key assumption is wrong?
How it works
- Scoping conversation to understand the decision
- Prepare frameworks and initial analysis
- Run a facilitated workshop or discussion session
- Deliver decision briefing note with clear options
- Follow-up memo after the decision is made
