Senior leaders working through a consequential decision

How to get started

Begin with what changed.

You do not need a finished scope. Describe the event, pressure, or decision—and True North will help define the most useful response.

A simple starting process

From disruption to clear scope.

  1. 1

    Describe the trigger

    What happened—or what is likely to change?

  2. 2

    Assess the exposure

    What could affect operations, people, policy, markets, finances, or reputation?

  3. 3

    Select the workstreams

    Choose one focused need or an integrated response.

  4. 4

    Confirm the work

    Agree on scope, deliverables, schedule, responsibilities, and fee.

Build a project brief

Complete the short form, create the brief, and email it directly to True North.

Engagement choices

Start at the right scale.

The first engagement should be large enough to answer the decision and small enough to begin with confidence.
