The Process

Focus: Establish a working relationship, define the agenda. Agree on how communication will occur, how problems will be addressed and how expectations are defined. Goal: minimize defensive reasoning.

Review: Explore priorities and action steps. Develop a bi-focal vision of improvement seeing both the short-term and long-term issues that must be addressed to gain momentum. Goal: signature action that incorporates your experience, organizational goals and life purpose.

Inquire: Explore the agenda. Identify the situation, relationships or problems behind the agenda. Goal: escape the psychic prison that limits possible actions. Define the frames of reference (structural, human resources, political and symbolic) that form or configure the issues presented in the agenda through assessments and/or questions.

Resource: Define the resources. Identify available resources and determine what outside resources must be engaged to provide for successful implementation. Goal: Align resources synergistically.

Act: Initiate measurable and achievable actions. Receive support and encouragement. Goal: execute the plan and give and receive feedback that maximizes learning, assesses the metrics and reengages the implementation.
