Tools for the decision before the conversation.

Focused prompts and checks for managers who need to clarify what is happening, prepare clearer words and walk into the next conversation with a useful next step.

Delivery pressure

Start here

Priority Pressure Check

Use this when: When everything feels urgent and trade-offs are not explicit.

What it gives you: A clarity score, the most expensive pressure pattern named, and a line to say next.

Start the check

Priority decisions

Priority Conversation Check

Use this when: When a priority, owner or stakeholder conversation needs the right words, not just a decision.

What it gives you: The trade-off to name, the words to use, what not to say, and the next message to send.

Check your next priority conversation

Pilot decisions

Pilot Readiness Review

Use this when: Before you launch a pilot, trial or proof of concept — or use its results to make a case.

What it gives you: A decision record setting out what the pilot can prove, what it cannot, and the conditions to set first.

Create the record

Escalation decisions

Escalation Pack

Use this when: Work out whether to hold, flag or raise a delivery issue — and what to bring if you escalate it.

What it gives you: A hold, flag or raise steer with the evidence to bring, who to tell first, and wording you can send.

Build the pack

Leadership pressure

Leadership-team Reality Check

Use this when: When senior leadership behaviour is distorting decisions, commitment or delivery confidence.

What it gives you: A named dysfunction pattern, an honest read on how changeable it is, and what you can do from where you sit.

Start the check

Coaching

Coaching Questions Bank

Use this when: Before a planned one-to-one or check-in.

What it gives you: A reference library of coaching questions by conversation type, each with a short when-to-use note.
