Purposedifferent
When strategic direction needs to become measurable, it connects ambition with checkable results. It makes goals connectable to focus and review.When a problem has several possible contributing factors, the method sorts causes by cause areas. It prevents an initial hunch from blocking the view of other plausible drivers.
