Listen before framing
Understand the situation in the words of the people working within it. Different perspectives can make the real question clearer.
Bring the work into focus.
A practical working approach that keeps context, choices and action connected.

A useful process should make work easier to understand. It should be adapted when the context asks for something different.

Before you begin
No. The first conversation can help clarify the problem, the context and whether the work is a useful fit.
Describe the roles already involved and where support is needed so a suitable arrangement can be discussed.
Agree the proposed scope, timing and responsibilities before deciding whether to begin.
