Step 1
Name the real decision
Separate useful input from the choice that actually needs to be made.
Direction sessions
For teams with plenty of input and one decision that has not landed.
A Direction Session turns an unclear question into a visible map, sharper language, and a decision frame the team can use immediately.
Step 2
Make the situation visible
Map stakeholders, constraints, evidence, risks, assumptions, and dependencies in one shared view.
Step 3
Leave with a usable frame
Agree what changes, what stops, what needs more proof, who owns it, and what happens next.
Best fit
Useful when the conversation has started to loop.
- Positioning keeps changing because the underlying choice is unresolved.
- AI, data, or new tooling created more options without clarifying the choice.
- A product, partnership, or funding story needs one sharper frame.
- The team needs to move from input and opinions to a decision people can use.
Questions
What a session covers.
What is a Direction Session?
