Method

Evidence in.
Direction out.

  1. 01
    Frame the actual decision.

    Separate the decision from the surrounding symptoms and internal noise.

  2. 02
    Test what the evidence supports.

    Research the market, customer and organisation before choosing a direction.

  3. 03
    Make the trade-offs visible.

    Good strategy requires choosing what not to pursue as clearly as what to pursue.

  4. 04
    Turn the choice into action.

    Translate the decision into priorities people can actually use.
