A practical reading route

If you only have a few minutes, read the opening diagnostic, choose one relevant chapter and use its action summary. You can hand the worksheet to a colleague and return to the detail as you need it.

One useful question to begin with

Where is work getting stuck today: getting the right enquiries, keeping a conversation moving, preparing the next answer, or getting something out of your head and into someone else's hands?

Choose one. Give it an owner and a date. You can come back for the next part once the first change is working.

Read the opening and Chapter 1
