EXAMPLE SITUATIONS / FICTIONAL CONCEPT

Planning the Next Chapter

Imagine three colleagues preparing the next stage of a small business. Each sees a different opportunity and a different constraint. The working session makes those perspectives visible before asking the group to choose a direction.

Planning the Next Chapter — fictional illustrative clay concept
Original generated scene. This is an imagined situation, not completed client work.

THE QUESTION BEFORE THE PLAN

Look a little
closer first.

  • Whose perspective is missing?
  • Which assumptions do we share, and which differ?
  • What can the group decide, and what needs further investigation?

ILLUSTRATIVE MATERIALS / NO CLIENT RESULTS CLAIMED

Make the thinking visible.

01

A shared challenge statement

Name the situation using information the people involved recognize.

02

An options board showing trade-offs

Separate observations, assumptions and choices before committing.

03

A decision record with owners and review points

Record a next step without pretending the unknowns are resolved.

STILL TO BE DECIDED

A useful example
leaves room for questions.

  • What is agreed today?
  • What remains open, and who will investigate?
  • How will the decision be communicated to those affected?

This fictional scenario explains an approach. A real project would need its own context, participants, scope and agreement.
