Deciding on what framework to use for your business is an important decision because it provides an organisation with a structured approach to problem solving and decision making. In addition, your framework will help guide and inform the way the business analyses complex situations, identifies key issues, and develops strategies for addressing them.
So when I am asked what should be done when there is uncertainty surrounding what framework should be used, I say that the first approach should be to identify what is the goal of the organisation and what are you trying to do as a whole.
Next, you should identify what success measures are needed to determine whether you have achieved that goal. Strategising your success measures is not only important for determining whether you have achieved your desired outcomes but it can also inform the methodology of how a team will arrive at those outcomes.
We can also expand on defining our success measures by looking at what our lagging and leading measures are. One the one hand, leading measures look at what behaviours will impact desired change, while leaning measures will look at what means or methods will be needed to achieve those goals.
In the end, selecting a framework is the last thing you will do. This is because strategising and brainstorming on the above points will lead you to deciding what framework is the best fit for achieving your goals.
So in summary, the best way to choose a framework for your business, is to:
🚀 Understand the problem.
🚀 Understand the context.
🚀 Identify the measures.
🚀 Choose the appropriate approach for your context.
