In depth

A little more detail.

We’ll lead a discussion to agree where there are opportunities to make improvements. This will include identifying where trade-offs may need to be made (if there are clashing desired outcomes for different customer types) and where there are areas outside of your control that you are unable to influence.

BRIEF Facilitation notes

How to run it.

When to use it

Use Where to Act to focus a team on the changes within its own control. Agreeing where there are real opportunities to improve, and where trade-offs or limits apply, keeps effort on what the team can actually influence.

Use it when

  • A team risks spreading effort across things it cannot change.
  • You want to identify where you have the most control and influence.
  • Competing needs mean trade-offs have to be made explicit.

Not the right tool when

  • You are ready to commit to specific actions. Use Team To-Do List.
  • You first need to map the opportunities themselves. Use Customer Journey Map.
