INTUITIVE FRAMEWORK

1

Teams that can effectively manage complexity make far better decisions. The SIMPLIMENTAL framework helps teams break through the clutter to stay focused on the factors that matter most.

The most attractive opportunities are those that are most SIMPLE to Execute with the most INCREMENTAL Value.

How SIMPLE is this for us to Execute?

How much INCREMENTAL value does this represent to our stakeholders?

Conventional approaches tend to focus too much on the “size of the prize”, while not giving enough consideration to if there is a legitimate “right to succeed.” With SIMPLIMENTAL, Execution Risk is considered right up front to avoid surprises down the road. In fact, SIMPLE (a proxy for execution risk) is half the equation...

Simple X Incremental = SIMPLIMENTAL

A PROCESS THAT ADDRESSES THE ROOT CAUSES OF DISAPPOINTING OUTCOMES

The conventional Decision-Making practice of (1) Making CHOICES ---> (2) Securing BUY-IN ---> (3) EXECUTION is typically a sequential process that tends to lose traction between stages.

SIMPLIMENTAL™ understands that these stages are highly correlated and interconnected, so we manage them all together. This way, even modest improvements in one part also strengthens the others, leading to much better outcomes.

PROPRIETARY ANALYSIS AND EXPERT FACILITATION

Partners with SIMPLIMENTAL average 20 -25 years of business experience. We can help you manage the process and have truly productive team meetings (we've been in thousands of them!). We start by analyzing individual scoring in advance of team meetings, in order to:

Keep the team focused on what matters to avoid distractions
Avoid analysis paralysis with a "Goldilocks" (just right) level of analysis...but no more
Mitigate personal biases
Manage complex group dynamics and hidden agendas

Ultimately, we help you gain genuine Buy-In around the Best Choices.
