Belling the Cat – Imagine. Design. Execute. Assess.

Imagine: Collaborate to understand how the world works as it affects our challenging situation.
Design: Determine aspects to influence, appropriate resources, and specific ways we can make a difference.
Execute: Operationalize our plan, applying resources to spark progress and reach goals.
Assess: Re-examine concepts, strategy, operations, and progress in light of evidence.

The perfect solution is no solution unless we can get from here to there. And even simple problems prove intractable when we misunderstand them. Resources are always scarcer than we would like. Adding to the challenges, most situations are dynamic and require ongoing analysis, synthesis, and adaptive decision processes.

Increasing our understanding and building reliable evidence to inform constructive, productive next steps are activities best approached in two ways simultaneously: in context, grounded in all available information; and from a strategic perspective with respect to the situation, as-is and future vision.

Belling the Cat helps create the mean to get there from here, and test the evidence of progress so we can continuously improve our meaningful impact. Talk to us for pragmatic solutions, tailored to context, and to strengthen your own capacity to deliver results.
