It’s essentially a plug-and-play process that we can adapt to solve any problem. Here’s how it works:
A deep dive into understanding all that is at play, what’s at stake, who is impacted, and possible solutions.

Do the work that we agreed to do in step 2.
Provide a practical “go forward” plan that will have positive impact for the original issue.
