Compass Direction Room

AdvisoryCompass working model

A compass review begins with the destination and the constraints around it. AdvisoryCompass helps teams compare routes without losing sight of the tradeoffs that make one direction more practical than another.

The method is useful when several options sound attractive but only one can receive full operating attention. The work produces a bearing the team can explain, review, and adjust.
