SITUATION

You know what you want to do or achieve. You have the big picture. You may even have a time frame. Now you are faced with the “devil is in the details.”

Are you:
	• facing many possible ways to move forward? • seeing overlaps in the steps you want to take? • establishing major milestones along the way? • analyzing the path — as linear, circular, or something other? • defining the kind of documentation you need to maintain? • developing the team of participants — communicators, coordinators, collaborators? • assigning the various responsibilities? • drawing elements from the past? • combining elements from the past into combinations that form something new? • seeking change or just improvement?

SOLUTION

1. STRATEGO specialists create a Sounding Board for your specific situation. 2. After reviewing the situation you provided, the assigned STRATEGO specialist: • Schedules a Sounding Board telephone-session to clarify details
of the situation.
• Creates a 24/7 virtual Sounding Board after clarification is achieved.
• Guides you in answering “What question lies at the heart of your situation?”
• Asks, “What do you need to do well to answer this question fully?”
• Asks, “Who might also be working on the same question?”
3. When all questions are answered, the specialist walks you through the document creation. 4. When you believe the work is done, the specialist remains available for necessary tweaking.
