Transformation loses momentum when the loop breaks.
The seven capabilities are connected.
When a connection breaks, leadership loses visibility or control between decisions, execution, evidence and adaptation.
Control comes from connected decisions, evidence and action.
01Intent
Leadership establishes intent.
02Choice
Decisions create choice.
03Execution
Execution turns decisions into action.
04Evidence
Evidence shows what is happening.
05Adaptation
Adaptation determines what needs to change next.
