See Opportunity: Having a customer focus and applying approaches that help identify opportunities and discover real value

Engage for Buy-In: Using improv and other playful inquiry techniques to have fun while developing better engagement

Your Homework

Reframe the work you do to center around decisions. With the work that you’re doing, how are you helping someone make a decision?

You’re helping people make decisions about priorities and opportunities to go after. Figure out the criteria people need to make that decision. That should drive the work you do.
