The starting point
Your organization
doesn’t have to
be ready.
Two teams disagree about the same number. A promising pilot has no one to run it. One specialist holds a critical process together.
This book starts with the work you can already see. It helps you understand what gets in the way, connect the right capabilities, and choose a useful next change.
See the system behind the problemThe framework
Six dimensions.
One connected system.
Each dimension changes what is possible in the others. Explore one connection at a time.
A question to bring to your work
Can people use data and act on it?
Skills matter. So do time, access, authority, incentives, and the freedom to question a result. Responsible data use has to fit the work people actually do.
One connection: Clear authority gives people room to act on data and challenge decisions when something is wrong.
The decision is the starting point.
Each change depends on more than one dimension. The connections shown here are examples. They do not mean every decision needs automation or AI, or that all six dimensions need the same level of development.
Authors’ synthesis. Illustrative dependencies, not a company score.

Bring a better
question to
the table.
Practical instruments help you prepare a real conversation or decision. Start with the lightest record that helps the work.
First-Friction Note
Turn a broad ambition into one observable decision problem.
Which recurring decision or workflow is creating friction?
Six-Dimensional Dependency Map
See what a change needs from each dimension and what it changes for others.
Who gains, who carries the work, and what must be in place?
Evidence and Response Brief
Connect an important claim to evidence and a responsible response.
What would we need to observe to change our decision?
