Application A plan that is almost final

Know where the support is before you decide.

When a plan or measure is almost final, you put it to the people who have to work with it. You see where they hesitate and which adjustment gets their support.

The occasion Test a decision

There is a plan or choice on the table, but the support and the blind spots are still uncertain.

What you achieve
  • Support per choice or measure
  • Objections and preconditions clustered
  • Refinements with broad support

A decision can be right on substance and still get stuck on resistance that surfaces too late. Especially when only the outspoken voices are heard.

If you test the decision beforehand, you hear which parts get support and under which conditions people go along.

The approach 3 steps

From question to a next step people stand behind

We guide every step. What we mainly ask of you is substance: two meetings beforehand and a co-moderator during the session.

  1. Step 1

    Sharpen the decision

    We translate the plan into concrete choices, questions and scenarios that participants can weigh.

  2. Step 2

    Test the support

    Participants respond anonymously, build on each other and weigh the main options.

  3. Step 3

    Refine

    You learn which parts hold up and where the decision needs to be made better.
