Tactical Example: Know when a management brief needs human attention
Field | Detail |
Problem | The group needs confidence in a repeatedly produced brief. |
Outcome | A decision-ready brief with exceptions visible. |
Context | Intended decisions, authoritative sources, assurance and accountable judgement. |
Habit | Ask to see a real exception and its handling alongside the successful case. |
Shift | Test whether the capability makes uncertainty and exceptions visible before people rely on its output. |
Prompt | Here is the problem: The group needs confidence in a repeatedly produced brief. The outcome we need is: A decision-ready brief with exceptions visible. Use this context: [insert the relevant evidence and constraints]. Ask me what is missing. Test whether the capability makes uncertainty and exceptions visible before people rely on its output. Separate evidence from interpretation and help me decide what to check before acting. |
Strategic Example: Decide what deserves to become a shared capability
Field | Detail |
Problem | A successful prototype makes wider rollout attractive before its limits are understood. |
Outcome | An evidence-based decision to extend, change or stop the agreed capability, with ownership clear. |
Context | Observed use, exception cases, operating costs and the bounded delivery scope. |
Habit | Review the awkward case alongside the successful one. Turn any wider ambition into a separately owned decision. |
Shift | Explore how wider use changes the business case, people’s work and dependencies. |
Prompt | Given the test results and agreed scope: [context], compare extending, narrowing or stopping this capability. Imagine a plausible future where people rely on it: what new failure or opportunity appears? Identify evidence we have, assumptions we must test and decisions outside this delivery scope. |
