PDFs
This PDF covers the ways in which we process information differently and how that can lead to miscommunication, even when we’re not aware of it. It describes the different levels at which we group information and how everybody works at different levels at any one time, following up with a technique to structure a meeting so that everyone is on the same page. This PDF is aimed at structuring information in a group.
Managing Time and Scope
This PDF covers the different levels of scope and range of time that people automatically prioritise and how that can cause conflict. For example, someone with a very immediate, detail focused approach will prioritise differently to someone with a long-term, broad vision. All focuses are important and cover one another’s blind spots.
