We\u2019re all involved in a seemingly never-ending cycle of meetings and conference calls. Unfortunately, many of these seem to have no focus or agenda. We discuss the challenges facing the business, but everything seems to be a priority and nothing ever gets really resolved. These kinds of meetings can go on forever with nothing really getting accomplished and they turn into a waste of time and effort.<\/p>\n
But what if there was a process that would ensure that our conversations focused on only the most impactful issues at hand and helped our teams communicate more effectively and be more productive?<\/p>\n
The good news is that there is such a tool. It\u2019s called a Situation Appraisal and is part of Kepner-Tregoe\u2019s Clear Thinking processes. A Situation Appraisal is where you take inventory of all the things that require you and your team\u2019s attention: a supply chain or manufacturer issue, a competitive threat, a potential merger or acquisition, etc. By following the Situation Appraisal process, you\u2019ll see issues prioritized more effectively than ever and specific next steps defined so everyone has a clear understanding.<\/p>\n
To show practical applications of Situation Appraisal and other components of KT Clear Thinking, as part of the recent update to the KT Problem Solving & Decision Making program we introduced a series of new videos and case studies. We leveraged the most current media formats including live-action video, illustrated motion-graphics and animation to enhance the learning experience. You can see a sneak preview of one of those videos below. The scene features a Daily Meeting Dilemma: a global leadership team struggling with a variety of critical issues and no clear path forward. That is until they apply KT Situation Appraisal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
