Decision Clarity Card™

Pick one decision point on a single workflow where stalls, reworks, or escalations are the norm. Fill in the five lines with the people who live the work.

Most leaders find it useful as a quick diagnostic: if it’s this unclear for one workflow, what about the others?

One decision point. Five lines. Ten minutes.
