How These Tools
Are Used
Each tool works independently or as part of an integrated approach within facilitated sessions. They’re not rigid methodologies – they’re flexible and adapt to your organisation’s context, culture, and strategic challenges.
Matt introduces these tools organically during strategy sessions, choosing the right instrument for the conversations and decisions at hand. The goal isn’t to use every tool, but to apply the ones that help your team think more clearly and move forward with confidence.
