Guided Discovery

A process for decision making in an era of rapid change. We ascend and descend a "staircase" of ideas to guide you in building a model of your enterprise. You move up the staircase to build your model of the organization and to prove to yourself that all the parts are there (necessary and sufficient). You descend the staircase to engage the people in your organization. They discover for themselves how to improve their organization. They interpret and apply their model and it's information they have created about the organization.
