What performance information is left on the table and in the hallways? Inform2Action is a ThinkingTool™ that enables the user to peel away judgment to gain a more well-grounded assessment of facts. It improves one’s ability to solicit and provide rigorous feedback to customers, teams, peers and superiors, as well as accurately assess team work products.

When pure position-power is insufficient to get the job done. These days, leaders need more than the weight of their positions to drive results. Rather, they must build on what they know about people, key accounts and teams to achieve success. The INFLUENCE tool helps leaders reflect on key stakeholders and business-to-business relationships, and then translate that knowledge into ways to influence their intended outcomes for the business. It enables leaders and teams to build stakeholder understanding and create strategies for action.

Are you creating exactly what you want? The simple INVENT framework applies to leadership, strategic plans, team charters, careers and certain meetings and conversations. It helps leaders cut through activities and distractions, stay in the moment and invent the future by exploring two key questions: How do we want to think or feel to support our intention? What outcomes are desired? The tool helps leaders and teams think about desired results; it also aids in developing career plans.

Where are we and where do we want to go? INSIGHT maps help users lay out the facts of a situation in order to develop new insight into "wrong turns", missed opportunities and new possibilities. The tool slows down the human tendency to leap to conclusions and, instead, encourages deeper thinking. It allows one to organize data for feedback and solve complex people problems.

What outcomes drive strategic impact? The IMPACT tool depicts the relationship of various outcomes in the form of a "tree," which becomes the backdrop for exploring critical questions, such as: What are our highest priorities? What are our strengths and weaknesses? What are the potential blind spots? The tool is particularly effective in strategic planning and in setting individual, team and unit goals.
