Our 4 Question Thinking Model
Every problem starts with a pain point. Our problem-solving framework identifies your beautiful, simple solution.
What are we aligning with?
Our goal with this question is to Get Grounded. We identify whether personal values, industry norms, and/or long-term vision are the correct path.
Where is the friction?
This question helps us identify if friction is Internal, Relational, Front-end (customer-facing), Back-office (administrative), or multiple.
What is the desired user experience?
In order to build great outcomes, first you need to be able to imagine it. You can’t forget that everyone is a user. You’re one too!
What support is needed?
Great performance requires great support. Systems can be simple, but have to make it easy to do the right thing. You need to support both your product and process.
