As featured in the book and in our transformation strategy workshops, our True North statement, released under a Creative Commons with-attribution (CC-BY-SA) licence to enable its adaptation and wider use:

As text (the "Imagine..." is optional):


Imagine...

Everyone able to work consistently at their ideal best:
  • Individuals, teams, between teams,
    across the organisation and beyond
  • Right conversations, right people, best possible moment
  • Needs anticipated, met at just the right time

The facilitation deck (see below) includes two sets of slides with setup questions, one set intended for workshop use, the other for meetups, conferences etc. For the workshop version, the questions are as follows:

  1. When that’s working at its ideal best for you, what’s that like?
  2. And when that’s happening, whose needs are you meeting? What new stories could they tell?
  3. What stops that? What gets in the way?

The two-part exercise True North: Ideal (questions 1 & 2) and True North: Obstacles (question 3) may be followed by:

  1. Good Obstacle, Bad Obstacle
  2. 15-minute FOTO

For workshop settings we recommend establishing some shared context first, preceding those exercises with Celebration-5W.
