Critical Issues Management
Critical issues represent threats or opportunities that pose a substantial impact to your organization’s performance. Resolving critical issues requires a “deep dive” in evaluating the very essence of your business. This means having clear strategic intention so that these issues are viewed within a broader context.
The Seven Questions® Framework
Our consultants guide you in the resolution of critical issues by assuring there are clear answers to the most fundamental questions about your business. These core seven questions, and their corresponding elements of intention, include: which (choice), why (purpose), where (position), who (people), what (result), how (process), and when (action).
Clarifying which business you are really in, and why, provides a vital context for resolving critical issues. Knowing where you want to strategically position your business within your industry, who you want to be as a brand, and what your most important long-term goals are, greatly influences how and when critical issues get resolved.
The Seven Questions® planning framework has been used for three decades in helping our clients chart their future. While these questions may seem easy to ask, achieving executive consensus on clarifying the right answers often depends on having a seasoned expert to guide the process of discovery.
The testimonials of our clients evidence the value we deliver by asking the right questions. Is your team ready to be challenged by addressing critical issues?
