Maybe this sounds familiar...

You have talked to your team. You have tried a fix or two. The problem keeps coming back, or you cannot tell what is really causing it. That is where a Situation Map helps.

Common situations:

  • Everything depends on you or one key person.

  • Turnover, conflict, or unclear roles.

  • Work that stalls between people or departments.

  • Information that is hard to find, shared too widely, or owned by no one.

  • A software or system decision you want to get right.

You’ll Leave With

  • A completed Situation Map of your business situation

  • The two or three root causes behind what you are seeing

  • Prioritized next steps you can act on

  • A clearer picture of who owns what

How It Works

In our session, we slow the situation down and organize it together on one page. We identify who is involved, what is driving the problem, where work or information gets stuck, and what is fact versus assumption. Then we choose the most practical next step.

Who I Am

I help owners and their teams think a situation through, see it from more than one side, and feel heard along the way. I learned how over more than a decade at the Federal Reserve Board, where I led an 18-month governance redesign across business, legal, procurement, and technology teams. I ask questions before offering answers, and I take careful notes so you can see your situation on one page.

  • Interviews with the people who will use the system

  • A map of how work and information flow today

  • A plain-language requirements document with must-haves and nice-to-haves, ready for IT or a vendor

  • Optional: help comparing vendor proposals against your requirements
