The method exposes bottlenecks, idle time, and feedback loops so lead time and improvement levers become tangible.Leverage Points show exactly where interventions in a system produce a disproportionate effect. It draws relationships, patterns, and feedback loops. The result is captured as a leverage map and action strategy.When many stakeholders compete for attention at once, the Power Interest Grid sorts them by influence and stake.
